The District wants to pave thousands of temporary parking spaces on mostly industrial, privately owned parcels in Southeast and Southwest Washington to serve motorists who drive to the Nationals’ new ballpark.

The D.C. Zoning Commission on Monday is scheduled to hear testimony on an emergency request to establish up to 3,775 parking spots on 13 properties within walking distance of the stadium. According to the proposal, prepared by the D.C. Office of Planning, the District would build temporary lots that would remain available for up to five years after the ballpark opens.
