"Simply put, our zoning code written in 1958 is not befitting what a modern, dynamic city like DC, nor does it respect the form of our treasured historic neighborhoods."

Cognitive dissonance alert!

I'm not convince that our current zoning laws, or the ones that will emerge from this proposed process, are better than nothing.

Walkability, inclusiveness, vibrancy, etc, are all great goals, but does zoning contribute to any of those? It seems more like a cudgel used to prevent anyone from building at best, and enshrining rent-seeking into law at worst.
