watching
the
staff
presentation
for
the
first
online
engagement
session
for
arlington
county's,
review
of
the
site
plan
project,
known
as
courthouse
landmark
redevelopment,
I'm
chrissy
wallentisch
for
the
department
of
community
planning,
housing
and
development,
and
I
will
serve
as
a
project
manager
for
the
siteman
more
materials
for
this
project
can
be
found
on
the
site's
web
page,
which
is
linked
to
on
this
cover
slide
on
the
website.
In
addition
to
staff's
video
you'll
find
a
video
presentation
from
the
applicant
that
goes
into
more
detail
on
the
proposed
design
of
the
site.
A
The
agenda
topics
for
this
online
engagement
session
will
consist
of
a
brief
introduction
and
background
on
the
site
which
are
covered
in
more
detail
in
staff's
introduction.
Video,
so,
please
be
sure
to
check
out
the
intro
video
on
the
website.
Also
on
the
agenda
is
a
brief
overview
of
the
site's
land
use
and
zoning,
then
we'll
go
into
more
detail
on
the
site,
designing
characteristics,
building,
architecture,
source
preservation
and
finishing
up
with
open
space.
Please
note:
there
is
a
corresponding
staff
report
to
this
presentation
on
the
project's
website
that
provides
additional
details
on
these
topics.
A
As
you
can
see,
from
the
image
on
the
left,
the
site
is
within
the
boundaries
of
the
clarendon
courthouse
civic
association,
but
is
also
directly
adjacent
to
the
radnor
fort
myer
heights
and
colonial
village
and
is
within
close
proximity
to
lion
village.
So
community
involvement
from
all
four
nearby
and
residing
civic
associate
associations
is
important
for
this
project.
The
site
is
governed
by
the
courthouse
sector
plan
and
the
courthouse
square
addendum
to
the
sector
plan,
which
was
adopted
in
2015..
A
A
This
table
provides
a
summary
of
some
of
the
project's
development
statistics,
including
density
height
and
parking
also
listed
under
the
requested
zoning
ordinance
modifications,
several
of
which,
or
those
with
asterisks,
are
supported
by
the
zoning
ordinance
exceptions
that
are
permitted
for
sites
within
the
courthouse
square.
Special
district.
A
The
image
on
the
right
shows
the
general
site
plan
and
footprint
for
the
proposed
building.
The
details
on
the
left
are
from
the
courthouse
square:
addendum's
guidance
for
site
design
I'll
go
through
the
proposal's
conformance
from
the
top
ground
floor.
Retail
is
proposed
along
clarendon
boulevard,
the
north
jewel
street
promenade
and
a
portion
of
15th
street
north.
The
proposed
primary
use
of
the
building
is
residential
with
retail
proposed
on
the
ground
floor.
A
The
proposed
building
height
of
210
feet
is
in
line
with
the
sector
plan
guidance,
access
to
the
parking
garage
and
loading
area
is
proposed
from
north
courthouse
road,
which
is
also
in
line
with
the
sector
plan
guidance
for
building
massing.
The
applicant
has
designed
the
building
with
prominent
step
backs
on
the
north
and
south
sides
of
the
building,
where
second
floor
terraces
with
amenities
are
located
and
a
much
slighter
step
back
on
the
western
side
that
faces
the
promenade.
A
A
One
aspect
of
the
site
design
that
we
will
continue
to
review
is
the
sector
plan's
guidance
for
building
arrangement
along
on
north
south
axis.
The
sector
plan
suggests
that
a
formal
and
linear
relationship
between
buildings
with
the
central
square
reinforces
the
civic
nature
of
courthouse
square
and
that
major
building
entrances
should
also
reinforce
its
axial
relationship,
as
should
building
massing
architectural
features
and
facades.
Again.
This
is
something
we'll
continue
to
keep
in
mind,
especially
when
considering
the
proposed
locations
of
the
two
historic
facades
for
architecture.
A
Various
architectural
aspects
and
details
on
the
interior
layout
are
listed
on
the
slide
in
regard
to
architectural
guidance
for
the
landmark
block.
The
sector
plan
envisions
a
traditional
building
with
appropriate
massing
and
high
quality
building
materials.
The
sector
plan
also
provides
specific
guidance
on
building
frontages
and
streetscape
dimensions
for
all
four
frontages
of
this
block
guidance
for
which
is
shown
in
the
lower
right
figure
on
the
slide.
A
A
A
They
are
ranked
as
important
category,
which
is
the
second
highest
ranking
on
the
hri.
These
are
the
first
federal
savings
and
loan
building
and
the
investment
building.
The
historic
research
resources
inventory
is
a
planning
tool
that
is
used
to
help
carry
out
the
goals
of
the
historic
preservation
master
plan.
The
hri
is
used
to
identify,
rank
and
protect
historic
garden,
apartments,
shopping,
centers
and
commercial
buildings
based
on
their
architectural
significance
and
physical
integrity.
A
Here
is
a
look
at
the
current
existing
facade
for
the
first
federal
savings
and
moan
building.
It
has
been
extensively
altered
over
the
years
and
consequently,
as
the
building
is
developed,
more
changes
proposed
to
accommodate
new
uses
and
the
larger
development
as
a
whole.
Historic
preservation
staff
has
noted
that
the
building
should
retain
its
prominent
corner
location
as
the
design
and
architecture
reflect
this
sighting.
A
The
proposed
construction
of
a
parking
garage
for
the
larger
development
underneath
the
building
will
require
that
the
facade
be
dismantled
during
construction
and
reconstructed
in
the
original
orientations.
To
the
right
on
the
slide,
you
can
see
the
applicant's
proposal
for
a
slight
redesign
of
the
historic
facade
which
utilizes
the
original
1946
massing
and
fenestration
patterns.
A
This
is
a
view
of
the
investment
building
on
15th
street
north.
The
facade
of
the
investment
building
features
the
significant
architectural
details
that
contribute
to
the
building
style
and
significance.
The
applicant
currently
proposes
to
relocate
this
facade
from
its
current
mid-block
location,
on
15th
street
north
to
the
southeast
corner
of
the
landmark
block
at
the
intersection
of
15th
street
north
and
north
courthouse.
Road
relocation
of
the
facade
would
require
dismantling
and
reinstallation
of
the
facade
to
its
newly
proposed
location.
A
Most
of
the
project's
open
space
area
for
calculation
purposes
can
be
found
within
the
streetscapes
along
clarendon
boulevard,
north
courthouse,
road
and
15th
street
north,
as
well
as
on
the
second
level,
where
the
applicant
proposes
two
terraces,
with
amenities
overlooking
both
clarendon
boulevard
and
15th
street
north.
The
percentage
of
total
open
space
on
site
is
about
45.
A
The
plan
on
the
right
here
shows
the
proposed
tree
plantings
around
the
site,
with
special
emphasis
along
the
pedestrian
promenade.
The
cordell
square
sector
plan
recommends
greening
a
roof
in
terrace
areas
which
should
be
planted
and
visible
from
the
center
square
and
should
incorporate
biophilic
design
elements.
A
As
for
the
promenade,
the
sector
plan
envisions
this
feature
to
serve
as
an
extension
of
open
space
found
throughout
courthouse
square
and
should
be
surfaced
with
distinctive
materials
and
include
canopy
trees.
To
provide
shade
more
details
on
the
proposed
open
space
and
promenade
will
be
provided
by
the
applicant.
A
One
note
to
mention
on
off-site
open
space
is
that
the
courthouse
square
addendum
envisions
a
central
square
or
park
where
the
municipal
parking
lot
is
currently
located.
Although
this
area
is
not
within
the
landmark
block,
there
might
be
ways
to
incorporate
aspects
of
the
vision
for
the
square.
Within
this
project,
more
details
on
potential
off-site
open
space
improvements
will
be
discussed
later
on
throughout
the
project's
review.
