“Big News! ANC 3F will be meeting in person in October!” writes 3F chair Courtney Carlson.
Big news, indeed. ANC 3F hasn’t held an in-person meeting since February 2020. In March of that year, the Covid-19 pandemic was shutting everything down, and “out of an abundance of caution,” then-3F chair Monika Nemeth announced that month’s meeting was canceled. ANC meetings since April of that year have been fully virtual.
The ANC’s pre-pandemic meetings were also livestreamed, and that will continue. The commission asks, however, that online viewers be patient. For these commissioners – all elected during the covid era – the October 14th meeting will be their first test of the hybrid format.
The in-person meeting will be held at Forest Hills Senior Living (4901 Connecticut Avenue). The Zoom link and the 7 p.m. meeting time remain the same.
The draft agenda (below) includes last week’s ABCA hearing on Canna Art’s application for a medical cannabis retail license, The Whale Tea’s application for a liquor license, problems with the HAWK traffic signal at Connecticut and Ellicott Street, and the DC Archives-UDC site plan.
