From YouTube: County Board Wrap-Up
Description
ATV's monthly chat, dissecting important decisions from the County Board Meeting. With Board Chair Libby Garvey and Board Member Christian Dorsey, this month the discussion centers on new regulations for the sharing economy, both short term rentals and cars. We also discuss a lot of facility needs: community center renovations at Lubber Run and Barcroft, a temporary siting for Fire Station #8, a new bus maintenance facility to be located on land purchased in Fairfax County, some changes in the Board's ability to regulate school modifications, and a recycling center on the move.
A
A
B
C
A
2016
has
flown
by
and
I
mean
that
sincerely
I
wanted
to
start
out.
By
talking
to
you
a
little
bit
about
the
sharing
economy,
you
know
that
some
actions
of
the
December
board
meeting
about
the
sharing
economy
and
the
first
one
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
is
short-term
residential
rentals
Libya.
What
can
you
tell
us
about
the
action?
The
board?
Well.
C
It
was
interesting,
so
you
said
we're
gonna
talk
a
lot
about
facilities
and
this
is
sort
of
facilities,
but
these
are
private
for
private
homes.
So
I
think
the
first
thing
that
people
need
to
understand
which
I
think
a
lot
of
people
didn't
is.
Until
we
make
took
this
action,
they
were
all
illegal.
We
had
over
a
thousand
people
if
you
went
on
like
a
site,
for
example
like
Airbnb,
and
they
were
all
of
these
postings
and
on
and
actually
every
single
one
of
them
were
illegal
because
we
hadn't
done
any
like.
C
So
that
was
why
we
took
it
up
in
part,
because
there
were
a
whole
lot
going
on
and
we
started
hearing
more
and
more
both
sides,
people
who
were
putting
in
their
air.
You
know
wanting
to
put
their
if
theirs
their
homes
or
their
rooms
up
for
rent
uh-huh
for
a
brief
period
of
time
and
wondering
how
do
I
do
this
and
we
didn't
have
anything
to
tell
them.
Then
there
were
other
people
saying
this
is
going
on
and
they're
people
arriving
at
1:00
in
the
morning
and
it's
wrong.
C
And
what
are
you
gonna
do
about
it?
And
it
was
hard
because
we
didn't
really
have
even
a
legal
framework
to
kind
of
deal
with
it,
so
there
was
really
quite
a
bit
of
need
and
then,
of
course
we
have,
you
know
in
January
we're
expecting
quite
an
influencer
influx
of
people
and
I
expect.
There's
gonna
be
even
more
people
wanting
to
you
know,
share
their
homes
briefly,
so
we
wanted
to
make
it
possible
and
give
a
structure.
B
Of
course
I
mean
you
know,
you
definitely
have
those
concerns
of
protecting
neighborhood
character,
but
we
also
want
to
permit
this
use,
which
has
clearly
been
very
beneficial
to
a
lot
of
people.
It
makes
the
very
high
cost
of
housing
in
Arlington
affordable
for
some
people.
Certainly
it
provides
an
opportunity
for
companionship.
B
There
are
many
good
elements
to
it,
but
at
the
same
time,
unregulated
it
has
the
potential
to
change
the
nature
of
neighborhoods,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
what
we
do
enables
this
activity,
while
at
the
same
time
preserving
the
neighborhood
character
and
making
it
so
that
when
you
buy
a
home
in
an
Arlington
neighborhood
you're,
not
necessarily
buying
into
a
commercial
area
where
there's
going
to
be
all
kinds
of
activity
happening,
24/7
and
I'm,
actually
proud
of
the
action.
I
think
we
struck
a
really
good
balance
with
sensible
regulation
and
I
hope.
C
A
B
Right
it
can't
wedding
hall,
it
can't
be
in
places
that
are
used
for
commercial
purposes,
so
we're
regulating
use
by
homeowners
right
now
and
actually
we're
gonna
take
up
next
month
the
ability
to
apply
these
regulations
to
people
who
are
long-term,
renters,
okay,
who
make
up
a
good
portion
of
Arlington's
housing
occupants.
So
you
know
we
take
those
homes
and
it
can
be
an
accessory
use
and
it's
kind
of
regulated
as
an
occupation,
and
so
the
primary
use
has
got
to
be
a
residence
you
have
to
occupy
at
more
than
half
the
year
as.
B
And
you
can
use
either
all
or
part
of
your
home.
You
can
have
no
more
than
the
larger
of
six
people
in
the
entire
place
or
two
people
per
bedroom.
Whichever
is
larger,
but
essentially
all
of
that
is
is
designed
to
make
sure
we
know
who
is
operating
their
homes
as
short-term
rentals.
It's
something
that
is
permitted.
It's
legal,
it's
enabled,
but
at
the
same
time
doesn't
have
the
character
and
flavor
of
a
hotel.
C
A
B
C
C
Today
so
this
was
we've,
we've
had
a
pilot
program
going
on
for
about
a
year
now,
with
with
car2go
and
actually
recent.
So
first
it
was
right
just
inside
Arlington,
and
this
is
people
sign
on
and
I
think
what
do
they
say,
I
think
for
every
car
to
go.
They
figure,
they
take
seven
cars
off,
so
people
are
now
or
decide.
Maybe
I
don't
need
my
to
buy
a
second
car
or
maybe
I'd
even
don't
need
my
own
car,
because
there
are
all
kinds
of
ways
to
get
around
and
when
I
really
need
a
car.
C
I
belong
to
this
group
called
car2go
and
I
can
get
this
little
car
and
drive
it
around,
and
so
that's
been
going
on
and
actually
we
a
few
months
ago
it
was
a
pilot
and
when
we
extended
the
pilot
over
into
the
District
of
Columbia,
so
people
could
because
at
first
you
had
to
stay
with
in
Arlington,
I.
Think
transportation
doesn't
work
real
well
when
it
has
to
be
very.
C
It
works
a
lot
better
if
you
can
go
farther
and
that
really
increased
the
number
of
people
using
it,
and
so
it
was
a
pilot
and
we
made
it
made
it
more
formal
and
put
in
we're
gonna
continue
to
evaluate
in
another
year,
but
we
also
put
in
place
a
basic
platform
of
regulations
which
will
allow
us
I
think
to
work
with
other
jurisdictions.
Again,
it's
better
if
it's
not
just
with
one
jurisdiction,
it's
better.
If
you
could
work
as
a
region,
and
this
this
enables
us
to
do
that
and.
A
B
A
B
B
B
C
A
B
C
Of
the
things
that
interested
me
in
the
discussion,
because
we
had
people
very
concerned
about
a
car
sitting
for
a
long
time
was-
and
we
had
the
car
to
go
guy,
there
was
we
kind
of
went
back
and
forth
it
is
in
everybody's
interests
are
aligned.
You
know,
as
you
said,
that
the
car
to
go,
ideally
that
car
would
only
sit
there
for
five
minutes.
I
mean
they
want
it
moving
as
much
as
poss
the
neighborhood's
one
of
moving
as
much
as
possible.
B
An
interesting,
dynamic,
Libby
I,
don't
know
if
you
remembered,
which
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
me.
Certainly,
there
were
a
lot
of
documented
cases
and
it's
gotten
better
over
time
of
the
car
sitting
for
more
than
24
hours.
But
what
makes
car2go
a
challenge
is
that
all
of
them
look
alike
yeah.
So
we
may
think.
A
Could
have
been
different
right
so
well.
This
is
an
exciting
new
world,
we're
moving
into
the
sharing
economy.
It
is
from
the
sharing
economy
to
essential
services,
we'll
take
a
short
break,
and
when
we
come
back
we'll
talk
about
decisions.
The
Board
made
that
touch
upon
the
growing
challenges
facing
the
county
to
find
space
for
our
facility
needs.
A
Welcome
back
to
County
Board
wrap-up,
our
monthly
chat
with
county
board
members
about
some
of
the
key
decisions
they
take
at
their
public
meetings
with
us
today.
Our
County
Board
Chair,
Libby,
Garvey
and
board
member
Christian
Dorsey.
So
well,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
facilities
which
has
been
very
much
on
your
minds.
Lately.
I
know
the
board
took
action
on
fire
station
8.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
that
I
sure.
C
Now,
obviously,
before
we
took
an
action
previously,
which
determined
that
fire
station
8
would
needed
to
be,
rebuilt
was
gonna,
be
in
the
same
place
when
we
were
done
and
the
thing
about
fire
stations
as
far
as
facilities
go
is
they're
really
key,
and
you
can't
just
like
not
have
one
for
a
while,
while
you're
building
it.
So
one
of
the
issues
here
was
finally
decided.
We,
it
was
gonna,
be
where,
while
we're
rebuilding,
where
are
we
gonna
put
the
other
fire
station.
C
Fire
station
exactly
and
we
actually
purchased
two
properties
right
there
on
the
fire
station,
eight
property
and
we
are
working
on
getting
a
third
and
that's
gonna-
enable
us
to
put
the
temporary
you
know,
have
them
build
the
new
fire
station
on
the
the
new
land
and
that
we
won't
build
temporary
station
because
we'll
use
the
old
one
until
we're
done.
We
used
to
do
that
when
I
was
on
the
school
board.
There
are
a
number
of
cases
like
Wakefield,
High
School.
We
would
do
that.
C
C
B
Culpepper
Street-
and
you
know,
the
properties
are
just
right
next
door
to
the
existing
fire
station
and
one
of
them
actually
has
a
house
a
fully
or
they
both
have
houses
on
them,
and
one
is
a
relatively
new
house
which
will
serve
as
sort
of
the
living
quarters
for
this
temporary
fire
station
set
up.
So
it'll
look
a
little
different
in
the
building
phase.
You
know,
you'll
have
a
single-family
home
and
then
a
tented
area
for
the
for
the
trucks
and
the
equipment.
B
C
A
C
To
buy
well,
you
know
we
keep
talking
about
how
we
have
26
square
miles
and
that's
all
we've
got.
What
can
we
do?
Well,
one
of
the
things
we
can
do
is
buy
elsewhere.
This
has
to
still
get
work
through
there.
Some
zoning
issues
that
need
to
be
checked
out.
It's
in
Fairfax
County,
not
okay,
and
it's
a
our
bus
maintenance
facility.
Now
people
might
say
well
why
don't
you
even
do
more
in
store
buses?
C
Cuz
bus
storage
is
an
issue
and
what
are
the
things
that
you
learn
when
you
look
at
this
as
buses
that
we're
using
every
day
they
they're
parked
for
the
night
or
for
whenever
they
can't
be
miles
and
miles
away,
because
it's
just
it's
very
expensive,
it
just
doesn't
work
to
have
them
travel
back
and
forth,
but
a
maintenance
facility,
those
of
us
that's
when
they
go
in
for
heavy
maintenance
and
heavy
maintenance.
They
go
in
and
they'll,
be
there
for
several
weeks
or
more
mm-hmm,
and
that's
fine
if
it
sits
outside
of
Arlington.
C
C
B
Security
and
sustainability-
you
know
lease
land
is
always
subject
to
the
whim
of
the
owner
and
also
the
current
lease
facility
was
not
adequate
for
the
size
of
the
art
fleet
that
we
expect
in
just
a
few
years.
So
we
had
a
need
for
a
bigger
facility
and
the
current
site
wasn't
going
to
accommodate
it.
So
we
could
have
looked
at
leasing.
Another
site
somewhere,
but
really
the
option
to
buy
gives
us
the
ability
to
make
sure
we
know
in
perpetuity.
B
This
is
something
that
we're
going
to
be
using
as
an
asset
and
then
to
I'm
uncomfortable
with
you
know,
essential
services
that
are
provided
by
the
county.
You
know
owned
by
another
entity,
it's
great
to
be
able
to
secure
your
own
equipment
and
when
you're
dealing
with
bus
maintenance.
You
know
you
want
that
to
be
a
secure
facility.
It's
not
just
the
garage,
so
you
know,
as
it
turns
out,
buying
a
neighboring.
B
Fairfax
County
in
the
Springfield
area
is
fairly
cost
effective
in
terms
of
land
values,
which
is
a
good
thing
which
is
important
because
even
though
it's
it's
better
to
do
maintenance
out
of
your
County,
it's
still
not
great
you'd,
still
love
to
be
able
to
have
that
all
within
your
boundaries,
because
we
do
incur
some
costs
taking
vehicles
to
and
from
that
facility.
But
all
in
all
it.
C
A
C
And
it
keeps
continuing
and
I,
you
know,
as
Christian
knows
well
with
Metro
we've
been
doing
all
our
right
in
between
so
he's
safe
track
and
set,
and
more
and
more
people
are
discovering
are
our
buses
and
we're
doing
a
lot
of
talks
with
schools
about
getting
more
and
more
of
our
students
on
our
buses.
I
think
we
can
really
increase
that
and
and
really.
B
A
B
Being
planned,
what
is
that
all
about?
Well,
you
know
we
have
our
zoning
code
limits
the
board
in
what
it
can
do
and
we
took
an
action
to
give
us
some
flexibility
to
deal
with
the
recommendations
we've
been
talking
about
in
Arlington
for
a
while
how
to
better
utilize,
our
land
and
with
school
facilities.
We
know
that
we
want
to
build
up
and
not
out,
you
don't
want
to
have
sprawling
campuses.
B
So
we
want
to
create,
in
our
zoning
ordinance
the
flexibility
for
the
board
to
be
able
to
allow
these
uses
at
a
height
that
is
appropriate
for
the
times
and
for
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
So
you
know
we
have
now
unlimited
flexibility
to
allow
building
heights
for
schools
just
for
schools
based
on
certain
findings,
and
those
findings
include
principally
whether
it's
compatible
with
the
surrounding.
C
Neighborhood
one
of
the
things
I
learned
when
I
was
in
school,
but
actually
there's
nowhere
in
our
like
that's
zoned
for
schools,
I
mean
where
schools
are
now.
Those
are
zoned
for
schools,
but
there
isn't
a
school
zone.
So
it's
it's
really
great
to
have
this
sort
of
blanket
permission
to
be
flexible
wherever
we
find
so.
A
C
Yes,
yes,
there,
people
are
always
kind
of
I
mean
there's
so
much
change
going
on.
It's
just
I
think
it
can
be
unsettling
for
people,
but
absolutely
people.
We
continue
to
have
people
weigh
in
and
really
I
think
what
is
appropriate
and
what
makes
sense
is
what
counts,
and
this
board
and
I'm
sure
boards
in
the
future
will
be
listening
to
folks,
because
we
all
want
it
to
work
out.
We
don't
want
something
inappropriate.
You.
B
B
Lot
of
capacity
that's
not
being
utilized,
but
we
don't
know
what
decades
from
now
right
will
bring,
and
you
don't
want
to
be
in
the
business
of
amending
your
zoning
ordinance
on
an
ad
hoc
case-by-case
basis.
You
want
to
set
some
clear
parameters
to
guide
future
growth
and
development.
That's
what
we
were
trying.
A
We're
back
for
our
final
segment
of
County
Board
wrap
up
our
monthly
chat
with
the
chair.
Another
board
member
is
exploring
some
of
the
key
decisions.
The
board
made
at
its
monthly
meeting
with
me
today
is
chair,
Libby
Garvey
and
board
member
Christian,
Dorsey
and
Libby
I
wanted
to
ask
you
about
the
board's
action
on
LeBron
community
center.
You
approved
a
contract
and
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
step
forward
in
that
project.
C
It
sure
is
so
that
love
around
community
center
was
built
in
1956.
It
was
the
first
apparently
building
that
was
built
to
be
a
community
center,
but
because
it
was
built
in
1956,
it's
not
a
DA
accessible.
It
needs
a
lot
of
work.
It's
been
needing
for
a
while
to
be
replaced,
so
we're
gonna,
replace
it
with
a
center.
That's
gonna
have
really
a
full
complement
of
you
know
of
activities
and
services
and
we're
gonna
have
a
gym,
and
it's
really
gonna
be
I.
C
Think
a
great
addition
for
the
neighborhood
there
are
concerns,
because
it's
something
new
and
different.
We
are
planning
on
underground
parking
because
we're
gonna
want
to
preserve
the
green
space.
It's
a
beautiful
area.
Their
staff
is
talking
about
having
a
room
where
you
could
even
have
sort
of
receptions
and
look
out
and
see
the
trees.
I
mean
it's
it's
because
it's
1956
assault,
it's
all
bricked
in
and
they're
these
beautiful
views
of
the
parkland.
You
don't.
B
C
We
need
gems
I
mean
we
really
need
activity
centers
for
all
age
groups.
Frankly,
the
playground
will
stay
and
so
I
think
it's
gonna
be
great
and
we're
gonna
include
the
community
in
the
process
of
designing
it
and
getting
it
to
look
the
way
they
would
like
it.
So
we're
moving
forward
and
I
think
it's
really
long
overdue.
B
Sure
people
get
happy
with
not
only
the
physical
design
but
really
the
programmatic
elements,
and
that
will
really
drive
tonight
how
what
the
building
looks
like
and
how
it
feels
and
interacts
with
the
surrounding
community
and
the
open
space.
That's
there
so
I
hope
it's
a
robust
process
and
you
know
we
hope
they
do
it
efficiently.
There's.
C
No,
if
we
have
to
take
a
little
extra
time,
we
will
to
get
it
right,
but
III
think
it's
gonna
be
good.
It
really.
This
changed
that
night
I
think
as
people
start
to
see
it
and
start
to
see
the
possibilities.
They'll
get
excited
about
it
and
I'm
delighted
that
we've
decided
to
do
I
mean
it
was.
You
know
one
point:
our
staff
came
to
us
and
said
you
know:
can
we
are
you
gonna
be
alright?
We
are
thinking
of
suggesting
underground
parking.
This
is
gonna,
add
a
lot
of
expense
and
I.
A
C
B
B
B
C
B
Barcroft
sports
and
fitness,
which
now
accommodates
also
hockey
ball
hockey,
as
well
as
basketball
in
a
multi-purpose
gymnasium.
That's
now
gonna
become
a
gymnastics
complex,
that's
going
to
better
accommodate
the
classes,
provide
an
opportunity
for
adult
gymnastics
and
fortunately
nearby.
We
have
another
community
center
that
was
recently
recently
completed,
Arlington
mill,
which
has
the
capacity
to
absorb
what
was
in
the
bar
crawl
gym.
So
this
is
a
chance
to
really
meet
the
incredible
needs
that
we
have
for
athletic
facilities
which
a
healthy
community
needs
to
have.
So
you
know
we're
getting
creative,
we're.
C
Meeting
the
need
and
I
think
part
of
the
thing
about
gymnastics,
too,
is
that
there's
equipment,
and
so
it
isn't
as
easy
to
share.
You
know
like
somebody
plays
basketball
and,
like
another
basketball
team
comes
in
or
somebody
doing
in
tour.
You
know
and
indoor
ball
sports.
You
leave
and
there's
the
floor
and
you
come
on,
but
with
gymnastics
there's
all
of
this
equipment
that
needs
to
be
there
and
you
need
a
specially
high
ceiling,
and
so
it's
not
so
easy
to
multi
multi
task
with
the
with
the
well.
A
C
A
C
C
A
C
Times
change
so
over
time.
This
has
just
not
been
working
so
well
for
the
community
people
come
to
us
and
said
we
need
to
move
this
and
I
think
the
board
was
saying
yeah.
We
need
to
move
this
so
yeah
at
the
Trade
Center.
We
have
some
recycling
and
we
end
doing
so.
We
decided
to
move
it
that
that
would
probably
be
the
bed.
There
was
some
look,
but
the
Trade
Center,
and
that
is
you,
know,
an
enclosed
facility.
So
it's.
C
B
C
A
B
B
Is
serving
a
niche
people
who
have
bulk
recycling
issues
that
can't
fit
with
the
weekly
collections?
So
you
know
the
the
need
for
that
to
be
a
24/7
availability
has
been
reduced
and
being
at
the
trade
center.
It's
now
co-located
with
other
recycling
uses.
It
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
now
at
a
critical
intersection
along
Columbia
Pike.
We
can
now
really
think
about
how
that
public
space
can
be
used
to
better
support.
The
revitalization
of
the
Columbia.
