D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 11, r. 11-X102
A college or university may use a property in any of the MU-3 or MU-4 zones for a use other than the matter-or-right uses established in Subtitle if approved by the Zoning Commission as a special exception pursuant to Subtitle X, Chapter 9 and subject to the provisions of this section.
An application under this section shall be processed under the rules and procedures for a special exception in Subtitle Y or as part of campus plan.
The proposed use shall be compatible with other uses in the area.
The use shall not be objectionable because of its effect on the character of the neighborhood or because of noise, traffic, lighting, or other conditions.
An applicant may request that use of property under this section be considered as part of a campus plan subject to Subtitle X § 101 and, if agreed to by the Zoning Commission, it shall be subject to the conditions of the campus plan approval and no additional special exception shall be required.
The Zoning Commission may consider the scope of the use and its relationship to any campus plan by the same university or college. The Zoning Commission may determine that an application under this section is more properly considered as part of a campus plan and may require the applicant to include the use and property within a campus plan subject to review and approval of Subtitle X § 101.
