The "District of Columbia Zoning Commission Home Rule Act" proposes to significantly alter the composition of the Zoning Commission for the District of Columbia. Its primary objective is to remove federal officials, including the Architect of the Capitol and the Director of the National Park Service, from the Commission. This revision ensures that the Zoning Commission will consist solely of members appointed by the Government of the District of Columbia , thereby granting the District greater autonomy over its local zoning decisions. Furthermore, the bill includes a conforming amendment to the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956. This amendment specifies that when the Board of Zoning Adjustment considers applications from foreign missions for chancery locations, designated federal officials will serve on the Board in lieu of the Zoning Commission's representative . This provision maintains a mechanism for federal input on specific zoning matters involving international entities, even as the D.C. Zoning Commission itself becomes fully localized.
