D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 11, r. 11-Z1602
In the case of an application to permit the construction of a low- or moderate-income subsidized housing development, the D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development may request the Commission to waive the normal hearing fee.
For the purposes of this section, the term "subsidized housing development" shall mean a housing development that is eligible to receive funding from a recognized District of Columbia or federal government housing subsidy program. Low- or moderate- income projects shall be as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The Application must be filed prior to the Commission's decision to setdown the application for a hearing. The Commission shall rule upon the request for waiver of fees at the time the matter is set down for public hearing.
To obtain the waiver, the applicant shall file with the application the request of the D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development.
The request shall certify that the proposed development meets the requirements of Subtitle Z § 1602.2, and shall state why the proposed waiver should be granted.
