| Requested Action: | Approval of preliminary and final site and building plans |
| Commission Action: | At its Thursday, April 2 meeting the National Capital Planning Commission deliberated and then voted to approve preliminary and final site and building plans for the East Wing Modernization Project. The project includes a permanent, secure event space within the White House grounds that will provide increased capacity for official state functions. Commissioners noted that the applicant updated the project design to eliminate the stairs extending from the south portico and modify the stairs at the project’s southwest corner to include a switchback. Commissioners were supportive of this change, particularly the removal of the south portico stair. The Commission saw a presentation by NCPC staff and the project design team, asked questions, and then heard testimony from members of the public at the March 5 meeting. The deliberation and vote were continued until April to allow the Commission time to review and consider public comments. |
