What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``District of Columbia Board of Zoning Adjustment Home Rule Act'', seeks to change how the Board of Zoning Adjustment is composed. It revises the Board so it consists of 5 members appointed by the Mayor of the District of Columbia with the advice and consent of the Council of the District of Columbia. These members must be residents of the District of Columbia. However, a specific exception remains for when the Board handles applications from foreign missions regarding a chancery. In those specific cases, designated officials will serve on the Board instead of a member designated by the Mayor.
