A
Welcome
back
to
county
board,
wrap
up
our
look
at
some
of
the
key
decisions
the
board
has
taken
this
month
and
how
they
impact
you
joining
me
today
is
county
board,
chair,
libby
garvey
as
well
as
board
member
tacus
carantonis
now
affordable
housing
remains
a
top
priority
for
the
county.
Arlington
continues
to
look
for
ways
to
preserve
the
affordable
housing
that
we
have
and
encourage
development
of
more
affordable
units.
A
Now,
in
october,
the
board
discussed
a
controversial
staff
proposal
to
increase
the
income
limits
for
families
and
for
individuals
seeking
to
qualify
for
affordable
housing,
specifically
in
developments
under
columbia,
pike's
based
code
now
for
those
viewers
who
aren't
familiar
with
the
form
base
code.
What
is
it
and
why
is
it
used
along
columbia,
pike
tacos,
I'm
going
to
throw
it
to
you.
C
That's
true,
and
I
can
I
can-
I
can
attempt
to
provide
a
with
you
with
a
with
a
short
explanation.
What
the
form-based
code
is
the
form
based
code
is
actually
a
zoning
layer.
It's
a
zoning
ordinance
that
prescribes
how
how
you
know
the
the
the
siding
the
size,
the
massing,
the
orientation
of
buildings
that
we
that
we
have
allowed
to
be
have
entitled
to
be
built
along
a
major
transportation
corridor
and
the
second
most
populous
corridor
in
arlington
county,
which
is
columbia,
pike,
columbia,
pike
was
the
test
field
for
form-based
code.
C
C
About
how
we
build
our
town
now,
on
top
of
that,
we
can
apply
and
insert
other
other
other
policies
that
you
know
align
with
our
goals
in
other
places
like,
for
example,
housing,
affordability,
and
I
would
always
use
this
term
instead
of
only
affordable
housing,
because
one
of
the
explicit
goals
is
to
create
or
to
allow
to
be
created,
housing
that
is
appealing
to
in
different
price
levels,
to
different
strata
of
our
society,
from
the
lowest
to
the
middle
to
the
highest,
and
that's
not
hasn't
happened,
always
especially
along
the
pike.
C
So
the
form-based
code
provides
these
tools
now.
The
specific
proposal
that,
as
you
will
put
it,
was
controversial
and
continues
to
be
controversial,
is
the
the
is
putting
making
making
support
available
to
a
certain
type
of
households
that
earn
it
was
initially
they
earned
60
percent
of
the
area,
median
income,
so
60
of
that
these
are
households
with
moderate
to
low
income.
To
put
it
to
put
it,
you
know
in
understandable
terms
to
to
provide
them
support
for
homeownership,
not
for
rental.
C
Now,
along
the
along
columbia
pike,
we
have
an
a
have
explicit
policies
and
that's
also
for
the
entire
county,
where
we
support
rental
at
different
levels.
60
is
a
very
common.
You
know.
C
Ami
standard
80
is
another
one,
but
for
homeownership,
which
is
a
more
difficult
to
attain,
but
more
stable
and
more
investment
intensive
policy.
C
We
we
had
also
this
same
60
ami
standard,
and
the
expectation
was,
and
continues
to
be,
that
we
will
be
able
to
enable
families
and
individuals,
but
mostly
families,
to
to
be
able
to
find
homes
that
will
be
affordable
for
them
to
buy
with
with
our
public
dollar
support,
so
increasing
these
levels
could
under
circumstances
that
are
not
so
far-fetched
could
actually
displace
people,
so
could
make
it
more
difficult
for
these
families
to
find
anything.
C
The
families
that
we
committed
initially
to
support,
to
fight
anything
to
to
buy
or
to
establish
themselves
as
homeowners
in
arlington
county,
and
instead
it
would,
you
know,
shift
the
support
to
families
with
slightly
higher
or
even
considerably
higher
income.
That
was
the
point
of
the
controversy
and
I
believe
that
the
community
came
out
analyzed
it
correctly.
We
we
had
a
lot
of
time
to
discuss
that
and
we
found
out,
I
believe-
and
maybe
our
chair
can
also
weigh
in
this.
C
We
found
out
that
this
is
still
not
prime
time
ready.
We
have
to
think
more
carefully
about
the
all
the
policies
that
need
to
be
in
place
in
order
to
absolutely
avoid
unintended
consequences,
which
would
be,
in
this
case
the
displacement
of
60
ami
households
that
still
exist
and
live
along
columbia.
Pike
as
they
also
existed,
live
in
other
places
in
arlington
county,
but
we
have
a
significantly
number
one
columbia
pike.
So
for
now
the
board
has
decided
to
defer
this
item
this.
C
This
policy
proposal
indefinitely,
which
means
that
staff
the
board
the
community,
our
advisory
commissions,
will
need
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
analyze
it
better
and
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
the
unintended
consequences
that
I
just
talked
about.
B
A
slight
difference
of
opinion
in
that
I'm
not
I'm
not
totally
sure
that
the
staff
analyzed
it
wrong,
but
clearly
there
was
a
lot
of
upset
and
concern
about
the
unintended
consequences
you
mentioned
in
tacos.
So
I
think
that's
important.
I
I
totally
assume
that
it's
going
to
be
brought
into
the
affordable
housing
master
plan,
work
that
we're
doing
now
and
that's
a
that's
a
very
you
know
it's
a
very
appropriate
place
for
it.
We're
running
up
against
it's.
It's
a
we're
running
up
against
some
realities.
B
I
think
the
goals
of
everybody
the
same.
I
think
there
are
differences
of
opinion
on
how
to
actually
implement
those
goals
and
whether
it's
going
to
work
up
and-
and
I
think
we
did
absolutely
right
to
take
a
pause.
But
what
we
found
was
that
people
at
sixty
percent
of
ami-
and
there
is
there's
another
carver
homes
area
where
people
of
that
level
have
been
able
to
buy
homes.
B
Almost
all
of
them
are,
are
not
making
it
financially
and
are
about
to
lose
may
lose
their
homes,
because
what
what
staff
was
sort
of
finding
trying
to
say
is
if
you're
at
60
of
ami
you
just
can't
afford
to
buy
home.
So
if
you're
at
80
percent,
you
maybe
can
make
it
so
what
I
think,
what
we're
going
to
have
to
do-
and
this
is
the
conversation
we're
going
to
need
to
have
as
a
community
do,
does
the
commute?
B
Does
the
county
put
in
enough
income
to
make
people
at
sixty
percent,
essentially
eighty
percent,
and
is
that
kind
of
support
we
could
do
that,
maybe
for
a
certain
you
know
for
projects
a
project
here
project
there,
but
is
that
a
policy?
How
costly
is
that
policy
to
make
sure
that
people
at
sixty
actually
get
the
support
to
bring
them
up
to
80?
That's
a
lot
of
income
support.
There
may
be
other
ways
of
doing
support.
You
know
I'd
like
us
to
look
at
something
like
co-op
housing.
B
I
think
there's
some
other
things
to
look
at
so
that
can
get
folded
in
here,
but
it's
a
this
is
just
a
thorny,
thorny
issue
and
it's
very
complicated.
It's
very
complicated-
and
I
say
I
think
the
ones
one
city
that
I
hear
of
that
has
kind
of
solved,
affordable
housing.
A
popular
city
is
vienna,
austria
and
that's
because
vienna,
the
city
of
vienna,
owns
almost
all
the
housing
in
the
city.
Almost
everybody
lives
in
subsidized
housing
and
people.
I
was
visiting
a
friend
over
there.
B
C
I
I
actually
used
to
work
in
the
city
of
vienna
at
some
point.
In
my
life
in
my
paycheck,
I
was
paying
0.5
percent
of
a
housing
authority,
another
housing
authority,
tax
of
a
housing,
a
public
housing,
social
housing
tax.
C
This
is
one
of
the
oldest
income
taxation
percentages
in
the
in
the
state
of
australia,
it's
almost
100
years
old,
and
what
this
created
is
a
the
it
created
the
acquisition
power
for
the
city
and
for
a
communal,
non-profit
acquisition
entity
that
actually
bought
up
about
55
to
60
percent
of
the
entire
stock.
Now
that
said,
and
to
just
to
to
ground
us
a
little
bit.
C
75
live
in
rented
property,
only
one
third
of
the
entire
housing
stock
of
the
city
is
actually
private
property
and
it's
it's
occupied
us.
