These are lines that occurred on the city’s 1901-1905 set of master plans for all proposed roads. If a highway planning line crosses a particular property, that land cannot become a Record Lot by subdivision, even if the proposed street is no longer needed or will never be built. However there is a procedure through which a proposed road can be removed from the Highway Plan freeing up affected land for subdivision or development. If a Highway Plan line intersects a property, it acts as a building restriction line, prohibiting the creation of new record lots and limiting subdivision. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>If a Highway Plan line intersects a property, it acts as a building restriction line, prohibiting the creation of new record lots and limiting subdivision. These lines represent "planned" roads, not necessarily existing ones, which the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) uses for planning and managing future infrastructure. The Highway Plan originated from a mandate to expand the initial L'Enfant street grid and maintain organized development outside the original city boundaries. </SPAN><A href="chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.ncpc.gov/docs/publications/Highway_Plan_Resource_Guide_2019.pdf" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>Highway Plan Resource Guide</SPAN></A></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
