"no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

It seems to me that since Congress is the government of DC, that an organic act creating this "state" would arise from Congress petitioning itself.

Allowing this would be as unwise as allowing Congress to award itself 3 electoral votes in 1960.
