Created in 1976, Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) provide community-based input to urban policy makers on issues ranging from zoning, economic development, police protection, and traffic to street improvements, sanitation and trash collection, parking, and recreation. Since that time, in response to requests from ANCs, the Office of the Corporation Counsel has rendered legal interpretations of statutes concerning or affecting a wide range of issues regarding Advisory Neighborhood Commissions. These documents are now available online for public access.
