1Opinion of the Court

GALLAGHER, Senior Judge:

Petitioners Citizens Coalition 1 (“Coalition”) seeks review of an Order of the District of Columbia Board of Zoning Adjustment (“BZA”), dated July 31, 1991, which granted special exception relief to intervenor Georgetown University (“Georgetown or the University”). The special exception permits Georgetown to construct an addition to its existing power plant to include a fifty-six megawatt Co-generation Facility. The BZA, in approving the special exception, found the Cogen-eration Facility to be an accessory use to Georgetown’s operation as a University.
