A rendering of what the hotel will look like from Champlain Street NW.

After a number of tweaks to its design, an Advisory Neighborhood Commission in Adams Morgan voted yesterday to approve the construction of a 227-room boutique hotel on Champlain and Euclid Streets NW.

But as the Washington Business Journal reports, the ANC’s support was counterbalanced by opposition from the D.C. Office of Planning and Metropolitan Police Department:

The dueling recommendations on the 152,000-square-foot, $100 million-plus hotel project set up a fight before the zoning commission, which will kick off Sept. 6 with a public hearing, followed by another hearing Sept. 13 if needed. While it will certainly take the planning report into account, and by law it must give “great weight” to the ANC vote, the zoning commission is empowered to make its own call.

The Department of Planning says the hotel, which currently stands at 81 feet, is too tall for the area, while MPD said in emails that it is concerned about increased traffic—both vehicular and pedestrian—and the possibility of more crime. Other neighborhood groups have similarly blasted the hotel, saying it will affect the area’s residential feel and bring more traffic to Adams Morgan.

The hotel was originally going to be developed in partnership with Marriott, but it dropped out of the project earlier this year. In 2010 the D.C. Council gave the hotel a 20-year tax abatement worth some $46 million.
