A
Okay
good
morning,
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
September
23rd
2023
County
board
meeting.
This
is
board
chair,
Christian,
dorsy,
presiding
and
I'm,
joined
today
by
colleagues,
Vice,
chair,
Garvey
and
board
members,
deeran,
Karen,
tonis
and
tento.
Thank
you
for
those
of
you
who
are
joining
us
here
in
the
boardroom,
as
well
as
those
who
are
joining
us
remotely
via
Microsoft
teams.
As
part
of
our
hybrid
meeting
model,
we
encourage
anyone
who
who
would
need
to
use
a
mask
to
comfortably
participate
in
the
meeting
here
in
person.
A
Please
feel
free
to
do
so
and
if
you
need
a
mask,
we
do
have
them
available
with
our
clerk.
Who
is
seated
to
my
right,
Mr
Kushner.
We
also
will
have
today,
as
part
of
our
hybrid
meeting
model,
some
members
of
the
public,
providing
testimony
remotely
as
well
as
presentations
from
members
of
our
staff.
If
you
are
here
in
person
in
the
room
we
ask
when
you
are
recognized
to
please
come
up
to
the
lecturn.
A
The
only
thing
that
you
need
to
do
is
to
adjust
it
if
it's
not
at
a
height
that
is
suitable
for
for
you.
You
don't
have
to
do
anything
with
the
microphone
it
will
always
be
on
and
if
you
were
submitting
documents
as
part
of
your
testimony,
please
hand
those
to
our
clerk
Mr
Kushner
and
make
sure
that
on
each
document
it
includes
your
name
and
contact
information
for
those
who
are
participating
remotely
today,
please
keep
your
s
muted
and
your
camera
is
off
until
you
are
recognized
to
speak.
A
If
you
are
using
the
phone
you
can
unmute
by
using
star
6
that
mutes
and
unmutes,
and
if
you
are
using
Microsoft
teams
on
an
app
or
a
browser,
you
just
click
the
microphone
button
on
the
toolbar
and
in
the
the
event
that
we
lose
power
today,
because
you
may
have
heard
we
we
have
a
little
bit
of
severe
weather.
You
may
continue.
The
meeting
will
continue
here
in
person.
So
if,
for
whatever
reason,
wherever
you
are,
you
lose
power,
video
goes
out.
A
Don't
worry
unless
there
are
extreme
circumstances,
we're
going
to
keep
going
here
in
the
room.
We
do
have
a
Spanish
language
interpreter
who
is
available
for
the
public
comment
portion
of
our
meeting.
I
see
her
in
the
room
and
I
would
invite
you
to
just
stand
up
and
introduce
yourself
in
both
English
and
Spanish.
A
Gracias,
Senor,
Martinez
I
believe.
Thank
you
all
right,
so
this
morning's
meeting
will
be
relatively
short,
so
board
members
should
not
have
to
take
leave
too
often,
but
if
you
do
see
us
leave
the
front
of
the
room,
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
are
exiting
the
meeting.
It
just
means
that
we
are
going
to
our
our
break
area
and
we
do
have
the
ability
to
follow
the
meeting
from
there.
A
with
that.
A
We
are
ready
to
hear
from
our
public
comment
speakers
and
as
a
reminder,
the
purpose
of
this
public
comment
period
is
to
hear
from
individuals
who
want
to
alert
to
Bo
the
board
to
issues
that
are
not
part
of
a
a
a
Current
public
discussion,
Visa
via
public
hearing
or
an
upcoming
public
hearing,
to
ensure
that
we
can
hear
a
range
of
topics
and
to
be
fair
and
consistent
and
respectful
of
everyone's
time.
A
We
do
have
a
one
speaker
per
topic
rule,
so
this
rule
helps
us
manage
the
main
purpose
of
today's
meeting,
which
is
to
get
through
the
items
that
are
on
our
agenda.
So
we
appreciate
everyone's
help
in
adhering
to
those
guidelines,
and
we
also
want
you
to
know
that
the
public
comment
period
is
just
one
of
many
ways
that
people
can
engage
with
the
County
Board.
We
have
among
the
traditional
old
school
options
of
sending
in
a
note
via
snail,
mail
or
email.
A
You
can
also
participate
in
in
Open
Door
Mondays,
a
regular
feature
on
most
Mondays,
where
members
of
the
public,
just
with
a
simple
Advanced
Sign
up,
can
chat
with
a
board
member
on
a
topic
of
their
interest,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
about
any
of
the
Myriad
ways
in
which
you
can
engage
with
the
County
Board,
please
visit
our
our
website
and
County
Board.
Sorry
arlingtonva.us,
and
you
can
find
out
all
of
that
information
with
that.
Let's
get
into
public
comment:
Mr
Kushner!
Would
you
please
call
our
first
two.
A
C
Good
morning,
Mr,
chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Guy.
Land
I
am
president
of
the
fingon
citizens
Association,
which
represents
the
roughly
3,400
households
in
North
and
South
fingon
and
I
come
before
you
this
morning
to
ask
your
help
with
what
I
think
is
an
unintentional
problem
created
by
the
County
zoning
code.
That
impedes
the
ability
or
makes
more
complicated,
the
ability
of
Fairington
owners
to
make
internal
improvements
in
their
condo
units
in
Fairington.
The
problem
arises
from
a
provision
of
the
zoning
code
that
requires
building
setbacks.
C
There
are
some
exceptions
to
the
code,
but
they
don't
cover
Fairington
and
there
are
some
parts
of
Fairington
that
meet
the
code,
but
there
are
many
parts
that
do
not
and
a
part
of
the
code
essentially
says
as
I
understand
it,
that,
in
order
to
make
structural
improvements
inside
your
unit,
the
building
must
meet
the
setback
requirements.
Now,
let
me
remind
everyone
that
the
buildings
were
constructed
in
the
early
1940s
before
the
zoning
code
was
adopted
and
it's
a
practical
matter.
C
To
do
things
like
build
out
an
attic
or
open
up
a
kitchen,
and
so
what
we
come
before
you
this
morning
is
to
ask
that
the
board
take
a
look
at
developing
a
comprehensive
zoning
amendment
that
would
address
the
Fairington
situation.
At
the
moment.
The
the
rule
requires
us
to
a
an
owner
to
go
to
the.
As
we
are
told,
the
board
of
zoning
appeals
to
get
a
waiver
of
the
zoning
GRE.
C
There
were
six
of
those
before
the
bza
in
September,
so
the
workload
is
now
significant
on
the
bza,
in
addition
to
cost
and
time
for
our
residents
themselves.
So
we
ask
that
you
take
a
look
at
a
zoning
Amendment
that
it
be
open
to
the
community,
respect
the
historic
character
of
Fairington,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
that.
D
Roza
good
morning,
my
name
is
Carol
Alvarez
and
I
live
in
alova
Heights
South
Arlington
for
over
30
years,
which
is
now
one
of
the
most
affected
neighborhoods
in
this
first
year
of
eho
implementation.
My
comments
are
about
how
non-conforming
lots
have
been
approved
in
the
R6
Zone.
The
two
approved
applications
405
and
4019
on
7
Street
South
have
less
than
the
required
60t
lot
width
as
it
is
required
to
build
sixplex
units.
D
A
staff
interpretation
of
the
zoning
ordinance
has
allowed
approval
by
shifting
back
the
front
line,
so
the
developer
could
demonstrate
a
60
width
on
paper,
while
the
Lots
do
not
meet
the
requirement
of
the
eho.
This
appears
to
to
be
a
major
deviation
of
variance
from
the
required
60
foot,
60
foot
width
and
has
allowed
two
non-conforming
applications
to
be
approved.
I.
Ask
you
that
you
two
look
into
this
applications
under
repercussions
in
setting
precedents
for
non-conforming
lots
to
be
approved
for
eho.
Thank
you.
A
A
E
Okay,
I'm
Chris
D
Roa
for
several
years,
I
have
volunteered
with
residents
and
staff
at
the
RPC
residential
program,
Center
managed
by
New
Hope
housing
on
Columbia
Pike
I
want
to
highlight
Three
Needs
at
the
RPC
last
March
I
noted
before
you,
the
lack
of
a
working
kitchen
at
the
shelter
I
ask
the
county
to
help
bring
the
kitchen
up
to
code
so
that
the
residents
at
RPC
and
the
residential
treatment
program
that
shares
the
building
can
benefit
from
hot,
nutritious
and
delicious
meals
prepared
onsite.
E
So
my
question
today
is
what
steps,
if
any,
have
been
taken
to
solve
this
problem.
Second
RPC
needs
medical
staff
on
site
to
provide
services
to
the
residents.
Previously
there
was
a
nurse
practitioner
who
worked
with
both
RPC
and
Par
path,
Forge
shelters,
but
that
Arrangement
ended
earlier
this
year.
I'm
not
sure
why
now
there's
no
medically
trained
staff
to
manage
medications,
provide
shots
for
coid
or
flu
or
prepare
medical
records?
Can
the
county
help
with
this
and
third
I'd
like
you
to
help
make
voting
more
accessible
to
the
residents
of
RPC?
E
These
voters
currently
must
travel
three
miles
to
their
precinct
number
110.
At
the
art
Atrium
in
Rosland,
this
requires
at
least
two
bus
rides,
which
can
take
35
minutes
or
more
each
way.
In
March,
2022
I
asked
the
elections
office
to
assign
RPC
residents
to
a
closer
Precinct
when
they
drew
new
boundaries
from
following
redistricting
I
was
told
that
they
wanted
to
study
this
further.
When
I
followed
up
this
past,
April
I
was
informed
that
Precinct
boundaries
was,
in
fact
a
County
Board
decision
and
thus
I'm
asking
you
to
make
a
Precinct
change
for
2024.
E
My
recommendation
would
be
number
30
138
at
the
Carver
Community
Center,
which
is
only
a
half
mile
from
the
shelter,
and
that
includes
the
same
house
in
Senate
districts,
2
and
40.
If
you
can
make
these
three
changes,
it
would
help
very
much.
Thank
you.
F
F
Good
morning,
chairman
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Carlos.
The
CER
pel
and
I
am
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
Rancho
voting
I'll
refer
to
it
as
RCB.
Henceforth,
as
some
of
you
may
remember,
on
the
18th
of
July,
we
had
a
meeting
and
we
deliberated.
You
deliberated
whether
to
implement
ranchers
voting
for
future
general
elections.
Unfortunately,
that
vote
didn't
come
to
pass.
F
Some
very
good
concerns
were
mentioned,
particular
one
person,
one
vote
or
the
difficulties
with
demonstrating
how
it
works
when
you're
selecting
multiple
candidates,
those
are
very
valid
concerns
and
they
have
been
addressed
by
Scholars
and
individuals
who
are
far
smarter
than
me
online
due
to
limitations
of
time
like
time,
I
apologize,
the
time
hasn't
begun.
G
F
I'm,
so
sorry
about
that,
no
you're,
fine,
I
I'll
talk
on
morning
long!
Oh,
you
have
one
minute.
Oh
very
well,
I'll
be
quick,
then,
so
those
problems
have
been
addressed
by
people
who
are
smarter
or-
or
you
know
more
verbal
than
me,
but
perhaps
what
needs
to
change
is
the
Paradigm
that
we
utilize
to
create
those
questions.
Zero
Sum
one
for
one
creates
polarization.
The
intent
here
is
to
attain
representational
compromise.
Otherwise
we
continue
down
this
path
of
polarization
where
most
Americans
and
our
lonians
are
dreading.
F
H
Clement
good
morning,
I'm
McCoy
Kaufman
I'm
here
to
represent
voice
Virginians
organized
Virginia
is
organized
for
Interfaith
Community
engagement,
hopefully
you're
familiar
with
our
purple
shirt
at
this
point.
As
you
know,
voice
has
campaigned
for
affordable
housing
for
years,
and
our
leaders
have
become
very
familiar
with
the
complexity
of
the
issue
and,
like
you,
we're
deeply
concerned
about
the
housing
shortage,
that's
going
on
on
nationally
and
locally.
We
also
understand,
like
you,
that
there's
no
Panacea
to
the
housing
shortage.
H
First,
we
want
to
appreciate
all
that
Arlington's
done
to
address
affordable
housing
through
the
real
estate
tax
credit
program
through
ahif
through
the
first
home
buyers
program,
Arlington,
specific
grants
and
inspection
of
caps.
H
There's
been
a
lot
of
great
work
done,
but
there's
still
more
to
be
done
so
today
we
want
to
shine
a
light
on
the
plight
of
the
residents
living
at
30%
or
below
the
area
median
income
and
light
of
the
agreement
that
you
will
soon
sign
with
J
Lynch
for
barcraft
departments,
we've
worked
with
the
arlingon
Community
Foundation
shared
Prosperity
team,
which
has
identified
a
workable
plan
for
255
units
set
aside
for
that
lowest
income
bracket.
H
H
Not
many
opportunities
come
up
like
this,
so
we
asked
that
you
would
move
quickly
on
it
to
get
those
255
units
for
the
lowest
income
bracket
that
can
most
benefit
from
this
opportunity.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
In
when
the
county
extended
a
$150
million
loan
to
the
buyer
of
the
1300
unit,
barro
complex
on
Columbia
Pike
in
2021,
the
public
was
told
it
was
a
Do
or
Die
proposition,
either
agree
to
the
deal
and
make
the
loan
or
the
county
would
lose
its
largest
remaining
trunch
of
market
rate
Apartments
to
Redevelopment.
What
it
didn't
tell
the
public
was
that
the
dilapidated
properties
which
were
assessed
at
only
138
million,
were
sold
for
425
million
or
three
times
their
assessed
value.
I
Although
County
staff
argued
that
the
loans
were
needed
to
prevent
evictions,
Community
activist
Suzanne
sunberg
raised
numerous
Financial
red
flags
about
the
deal
in
a
letter
to
the
board
on
December
14
2021.
To
my
knowledge,
her
concerns
were
not
addressed.
The
county
manager
has
acknowledged
that
the
$5.5
million
balance
in
the
Columbia
Pike
tax
increment
fund
will
be
dedicated
to
paying
off
the
loan,
making
the
fund
off
liit
limits
to
other,
affordable
housing
Ventures
for
years
to
come.
I
D
J
Great,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Daniel
molato
I
live
in
an
apartment
complex
with
over
200
units
called
the
Horizons
in
cherill
Virginia.
It's
managed
by
D
properties.
About
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
all
residents
were
informed
that
a
major
HVAC
project
was
going
to
happen
in
our
apartment
building
that
is
extremely
invasive,
starting
mid
October
through
the
winter
and
up
until
the
spring
they
are
coming
into
each
individual
apartment.
To
do
work,
contractors
will
be
given
keys
to
our
apartment
and
will
have
unhindered
access
from
8:00
a.m.
to
6:00
p.m.
each
weekday.
J
They
will
be
tearing
up
walls
with
as
vestus
and
creating
noise
for
multiple
11-day
spans,
while
people
are
living
and
working
from
home.
This
could
be
up
to
55
business
days
in
total
that
each
tenant
will
have
workers
inside
their
Apartments.
This
work
requires
shutting
off
the
heat
during
the
months
of
December,
January
and
February
to
p
of
our
apartments
for
13
days.
At
a
time
management
claims
we
can
occupy
the
apartment,
the
entire
time
the
construction
is
occurring,
presumably
because
they
don't
want
to
pay
for
alternative
living
arrangements.
J
There
are
also
rodent
concerns,
as
mice
will
have
free
access
into
the
apartment
due
to
holes
that
will
be
left
in
the
wall
and
only
superficially
covered
during
construction.
We
are
being
forced
to
live
through
this
and
have
zero
alternative
living
arrangements.
No
rent
reduction,
no
way
to
break
the
lease
without
the
usual
two-month
rent
penalty.
J
Many
people
don't
have
the
means
to
pay
that
penalty.
We
are
completely
trapped
in
what
would
I
what
I
would
consider
a
borderline
uninhabitable
situation.
There
is.
This
is
not
a
short
period
of
time.
This
is
a
workingclass
bu
building
with
many
seniors
with
respiratory
concerns
and
families
with
young
children.
The
management
company
hosted
a
town
hall,
but
when
residents
voiced
their
concerns
and
had
questions
about
the
project
they
dodged,
all
questions
gave
roundabout
answers
and
many
details
and
concerns
about
the
project
remained
unanswered.
J
K
L
Good
morning
board
members,
colleagues
and
potential
colleagues
we'll
see
how
that
works
out.
I
am
Reggie.
Nixon
and
I
represent
the
Columbia
height
civic
association
on
this
matter,
which
is
the
our
position
as
a
neighborhood
on
the
on
the
the
current
site
planning
for
pickle
ball
at
our
wal
stre
Community
Center
we're
basing
basically
we're
describing
our
needs
and
limits
in
order
to
live
with
pickle
ball
in
our
neighborhood
and
and
basing
our
needs
on
a
study
that
has
been
cited
and
submitted
to
you
some
six
months
ago.
L
It's
somewhere
in
your
files,
it's
in
there
somewhere,
but
I'm,
restating
the
link
here
and
the
report
that
I
have
previously
distribute
distributed.
Basically,
the
bottom
line
is
that
this
extensive
study
that
was
commissioned
originally
by
Centennial
Colorado
recognizes
that
if
you're
going
to
have
a
pick
a
ball
within
residential
structures
of
the
pro
proximity
of
them,
you
need
two
factors,
not
just
sound
baitman
structures.
You
need
distance,
a
minimum
distance,
both
of
them
factor
into
effective,
sound
buffering.
L
The
bottom
line
of
the
study
is
that
less
than
U
within
100t
of
residential
structures
to
pickle
ball
courts
is
not
recommended.
It's
just
too
close
and
no
sound
of
batement
structure
will
be
sufficiently
effective.
Therefore,
our
community,
as
it
is
now
does
not
meet
either
requirement.
We
have
an
adequate
distance
and
the
sound
abatement
measure
that's
been
installed
is
deflective
rather
than
absorbing
sound.
It
has
aggravated
the
impact
of
sound
in
the
neighborhood.
Therefore,
we
have
a
list
which
you
see
before
you.
L
You
can
read
it
in
detail
which
identifies
what
we
need
in
order
to
live
with
pickle
ball,
we're
willing
to
live
with
it,
but
it's
not
going
to
be
the
Grand
Vision
that
Parks
and
Recreation
recommends.
B
A
Mr
Kushner,
okay,
so,
first
of
all,
thanks
to
everyone
who
participated
in
public
comment
this
morning,
we
do
appreciate
it
we'll
address
each
of
the
speakers,
concerns
and
and
and
see
what
further
guidance
we
can
provide.
So
first
Mr
Lan.
Thank
you
recognize
through
your
letter
that
came
at
the
beginning
of
September
the
the
issues
that
fairlington
residents
are
having
when
seeking
to
make
modifications.
This
is,
as
many
issues
are
of
non-conformity
and
going
back
to
the
historical
record,
pre-
zoning
ordinance.
A
We
are
mindful
that,
while
doing
a
a
fairlington
specific
fix
may
appear
to
be
desirable
and
relatively
simple,
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
learned
is
that
when
it
comes
to
making
fixes,
you
don't
want
to
create
issues
in
other
places
or
Not
address
issues
in
other
places
in
an
effort
to
be
Equitable.
So
we
will
take
a
little
bit
of
time
to
to
be
thoughtful
and
and
study
this
issue.
A
That's
not
a
a
too
long
time
frame
before
we
figure
out
how
the
board
can
move
forward,
because
I
think
it's
pretty
clear
that
it's
not
the
intent
to
create
hurdles
where
there
weren't
hurdles
before
or
to
not
allow
people
to
make
basic
modifications
to
their
home.
So
it's
something
that
I
think
we
will
dig
into
Miss
Alvarez
the
concerns
about
two
approved
eho
projects
in
the
alova
Heights
neighborhood,
so
I'm
personally,
not
tracking
the
individual
approved
applications,
but
I
will
say
we
will.
A
We
will
follow
up
with
our
staff
just
to
make
sure
that
we
can
explain
back
to
you
any
reason
why
there
were
U
deviations
from
what
you,
you
think,
are
setback,
rules
or
I
guess
lot
with
rules
that
should
have
applied,
so
we
will
connect
with
them
to
find
an
explanation
and
and
then
get
back
with
you
on
how
that
how
that
was
determined,
as
you
will
recall,
probably
from
the
eho
discussion.
The
approval
of
these
is
not
a
matter
of
the
board,
so
we
will
not
be
revisiting
the
decision.
A
However,
ever
we
will
explain
to
you
the
basis
under
which
the
decision
was
made,
so
we'll
look
look
to
get
in
contact
with
you
soon,
Mr
Rosa,
you
brought
several
issues
related
to
RPC
I'll,
address
the
precinct
boundaries
piece
and
then
turn
it
over
to
Mr
Dean,
who
has
been
tracking
the
other
issues.
You
are
correct
or
what
was
told
to
you
was
correct
that
Precinct
boundaries
were
ultimately
the
purview
of
the
County
board,
but
we
don't
just
do
that
on
our
own
motion.
A
The
Electoral
board
from
time
to
time
brings
us
some
recommended
changes
to
Precinct
boundaries,
to
accommodate
population
shifts
or
population
densities
in
certain
areas,
and
it
is
not
been
at
least
the
practice,
while,
while
I've
been
on
the
board
for
the
last
eight
years
that
the
board
has
taken
up
an
an
ad
hot
Precinct
boundary
change.
A
So
what
I
will
certainly
do
is
to
make
sure
that
when
the
the
next
tranch
of
Precinct
boundary
recommendations
is
considered
that
we
get
some
feedback
on
your
recommendation
as
it
relates
to
moving
RPC,
but
that
will
be
probably
if
memory
serves
sometime
next
year.
Well,
I
guess:
I
won't
be
involved
with
that,
but
others
will
Mr
Dean.
Do
you
want
to
take
care
of
other
elements
and
I'm?
Sorry,
I'll
go
back
to
colleagues
to
deal
with
any
comments
on
anything
that
I've
gone
through
thus
far.
M
Thank
you
Mr
chair
and
thank
you
Mr
Rosa,
for
following
up
on
this.
This
is
the
there
are
two
pieces
of
what
you
have
raised,
that
I
have
been
working
on.
I
happened
to
go
to
the
residential
program
center
right
around
the
time
that
you
came
in,
and
so
the
provision,
the
working
kitchen
is
an
issue
where
we
need
to.
We
would
need
to
make
some
structural
changes
in
the
kitchen,
and
so
the
cost
of
that
is
not
as
minimal
as
you
or
I
had
hoped.
M
So
what
we
plan
to
do
and
I've
been
in
discussions
with
the
deputy,
County
Manager
Michelle
Cowen
on
this,
is
consider
how
we
can
address
this
in
the
CIP
I
should
say
in
the
capital
Improvement
plan
next
year,
and
so
this
will
be
an
issue
that
I'll
follow
up.
It
is
not
inexpensive
to
do
and
I
think
I
share
and
the
board
shares
your
commitment
to
serving
those
Without
Shelter
who
are
at
their
RPC
in
the
best
way
possible.
M
So
we
have
to
sort
of
maximize
the
amount
of
money
it
would
cost
to
shift
the
kitchen
versus
what
we
can
do
to
improve
meal
service
with
respect
to
the
meal
service
itself.
I
have
engaged
there,
it's
not
the
board's
role
to
make
contract
decisions
for
individual
providers.
M
It
is
appropriate
based
on
your
letter,
for
us
to
oversee
and
make
sure
that
the
that
this
is
money
is
being
properly
spent
and
the
service
is
being
well
provided
and
so
I
I
think
that's
the
best
summary
that
I
should
get
to
here.
I
have
engaged
in
this
question.
I
think
the
meal
service
may
not
be
what
what
one
might
wish
it
is.
M
M
That
I
have
engaged
on
which
is
helping
residents
of
the
RPC
when
they
move
out
into
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
and
we
are
seeking
to
ask
the
manager
to
work
on
Furniture
holding
like
a
a
sort
of
a
something
where
we
could
put
donated
Furniture,
so
that
when
people
move
from
the
RPC
into
their
own
Apartments,
with
our
support
as
a
County,
we
may
be
able
to
hold
Furniture,
which
is
a
cost.
M
That
is
not
always
me
so
that
last
point
is
meant
to
show
you
that
we
are
taking
quite
seriously
your
concerns
for
the
welfare
of
those
living
at
the
RPC.
Thanks.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
C
Koffman
in
terms
of
30%
affordability
or
deep
affordability
at
the
barcraft
Departments,
which
is
some
advocacy
work
that
vo
has
join
the
Community
Foundation
in
certainly
I.
Think
members
of
the
board
have
also
been
engaged
in
that
work
and
are
working,
as
you
well
know,
with
the
other
partners
in
the
barcraft
apartments,
Jer
Lynch,
the
principal
developer,
as
well
as
funding
Partners
Amazon
and
the
county,
to
figure
out
what
the
master
plan
is
moving
forward.
A
That
will
take
care
of
all
of
the
partners
financial
interest,
while
also
creating
a
feasible
development
path
for
bar,
and
one
of
the
major
goals
is
to
see
how
we
can
ensure
strengthen
and
deepen
affordability
as
much
as
we
can
so
there's
not
much
to
report
in
terms
of
outcomes
at
this
point
other
than
it
is
an
active
part
of
the
the
conversation
and
I
think,
it's
fair
to
say,
a
shared
goal
among
all
parties.
What's
that
did
you?
A
Oh
did
I
I'm,
sorry,
Mr,
dcastro,
prel
I
am
sorry
for
overlooking
you
that
was
unintentional,
I.
Think
I
switched
you
and
Mr
Kaufman
in
my
notes.
So
thank
you
for
coming
with
your
advocacy
on
RCV.
It's
good
to
see
you
again,
I'm,
going
to
actually
look
to
our
attorney
to
help
me
with
this
one.
So
I
I
believe
that
your
basic
ask
that
the
board
delegate
to
the
registar
the
ability
to
determine
the
manner
of
election,
essentially
by
using
RCV
and
future
elections,
is
not
something
that
the
board
can
do.
A
I
thought
that
this
was
a
power
that
was
by
code
for
the
board
alone,.
A
Okay,
so
in
terms
of
that,
the
board
would
have
to
actually
accomplish
that
that
action.
Now
that
said,
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
board
moving
forward
will
do.
But
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
from
the
experience
the
positive
experience
that
we
had
generally
with
RCV
the
first
time
around
and
some
of
the
comments
that
board
members
made
in
discussing
it
that
we
can.
A
We
can
safely
say
that
RCV
is
not
done
in
Arlington
under
what
circumstances
and
when
next
is
still
yet
to
be
determined,
but
I'm
sure
will
be
discussed
very
soon.
Miss
Clement
your
concerns
about
Barcroft
I
will
just
note
that
there's
an
extensive
website
or
or
web
section
of
the
Arlington
County
Government
website,
devoted
to
barro,
with
lots
of
documents,
answers
to
frequently
asked
questions
that
we've
heard
or
people
could
even
hope
to
pose
and
ask
so
any
issues
of
transparency
that
you
have
courage.
A
You
to
read
that
I
think
the
things
that
you
mentioned
are
actually
addressed
on
the
website
and
one
of
your
principal
concerns
that
the
selling
price
for
barro
went
above
actual
appraised,
price
or
assessed
price.
That's
actually
a
common
occurrence
in
real
estate.
I
think
most
people
know
that
the
assessed
value
is
not
the
value
at
which
things
sell.
A
So
I
encourage
you
to
look
at
all
of
those
things
and
sure
we'll
hear
lots
of
those
talking
points
during
the
campaign
season
between
now
and
November
and
Mr
in
makato,
the
horizon
departments
we're
going
to
have
to
or
I'm
going
to
at
least
have
to
think
on
this
a
little
bit
in
order
to
direct
you
to
maybe
the
most
appropriate
resources
to
help
you,
especially
given
the
time
frame
that
the
plan
Renovations
are
to
occur.
I
do
not
want
to
from
this
D
recommend
sources
that
might
take.
A
You
might
take
a
little
longer
to
see
if
they
can
be
of
help.
So
thank
you
for
for
providing
your
phone
number
excuse
me
and
we'll
we'll
think
on
some
ways
in
which
you
can
Avail
yourself
of
maybe
perhaps
even
some
pro
bono,
legal
counsel
or
some
other
help
in
mediating
and
having
discussions
with
your
landlord
I
will
say
that
is
very
our
our
powers.
If
you
will
are
very
limited
to
change
the
course
of
what
a
private
property
owner
wants
to
do,
they
are
free
to
do
pretty
much.
A
What
they'd,
like
subject
to
the
terms
of
the
Virginia
residential
Landlord
and
Tenant
Act,
the
prevailing
law,
which
governs
tenants,
rights
and
landlord's
responsibilities.
So
first
I
would
encourage
you
to
familiarize
yourself
with
vrlta
it's
part
of
the
Virginia
code,
and
then
let
us
get
back
to
you
in
ways
in
which
we
can
provide
some
recommendations
for
what
else
you
might
be
able
to
do
all
right
with
that
colleagues.
I
know
you
have
comments
on
some
of
these
issues,
so
Mr
karantonis,
we'll
start
with
you
and
then
miss
Garvey.
O
Thank
you
Mr
chair
on
U
Mr
L.
Thank
you
for
for
coming
today
and
testifying
here.
I
I'm
particularly
grateful
for
the
you
know
quite
a
detail
letter
that
the
association
has
sent
us
on
the
29th
I
want
to
add
only
one
aspect
to
that.
You
are
absolutely
correct
that
the
issue
began
to
percolate.
O
You
know
with
successive
applications
for
just
normal
things
like
remodeling,
a
kitchen
right
at
the
bza
I
mean
it's
it's
very
counterintuitive
to
have
to
go
to
the
board
of
zoning
appeals
for
a
kitchen,
remodel
and
I
should
note
also
that
I
I
looked
at
the
records
of
the
bza
and
I
thought
that
several
of
these
applications,
as
of
recently,
are
approved
by
a
3
to2,
very,
very
thin
majority,
which
I'm
I
I
can
imagine
that
just
compounds
the
uncertainty
that
members
of
your
Association
have
for
just
regular
things
that
every
lonians
looks
at
so
Mr,
chair,
I,
I,
do
think
Mr
manager
I
do
think
that
there
is
certain
pressure
to
to
fix
that
as
as
soon
as
possible,
because
this
is
really
a
very
unintended
consequence
of
of
a
legislative
Gap
that
we
obviously
have
there
and
I
would
encourage
also
Mr
chair.
O
If
you,
if
you
allow
these,
are
things
that
the
board
of
zoning
appeals
normally
includes
in
their
annual
report.
Maybe
it's
a
good
idea
to
invite
the
board
to
to
report,
because
there
may
may
be
more
of
these
little
problems
that
are
not
little
for
for
the.
For
the
constituent
right,
Mrs
Mrs,
Alvarez
I
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
these
lots
for
4015
and
4019
7th
Street
in
alova
Heights.
There
are
several
issues
associated
with
them.
I
think
that
we
need
to
do
a
deeper
dive.
O
O
I
agree
with
the
chair
that
we
don't
want
to
intervene
in
the
administrative
process,
but
on
the
other
side,
this
we
are
learning
a
lot
from
this
kind
of
exceptional
situations
and
I
I
UND
underscore
the
word
exceptional,
because
this
is
a
really
tough
situation
there
that
we
need
to
look
very
close
and
see
what
we
learned
for
that
Miss
D
Roa.
O
O
Not
only
to
you
know,
provide
healthy
meals
for
the
for
the
the
the
people
that
RPC
serves,
but
also
to
provide
some
opportunity
of
being
a
ghost
kitchen
as
the
the
ones
that
we
recently
made
possible
to
to
be
to
be
used
by
small
businesses
to
have
an
additional
kitchen
to
be
able
to
produce.
This
has
been
really
very
long
on
the
on
the
books
of
back
and
forth
and
I'm.
O
You
know
looking
at
Mr
def
fanis
leadership
to
to
find
a
final
fix
to
that
for
all
the
good
reasons,
and
this
additional
one,
because
on
Columbia
Pike,
as
we
learned
from
laosa
having
an
additional
resource
of
of
of
a
ghost
kitchen
like
the
one,
that's
in
RPC
is
gold
worth,
and
it
would
also
provide
an
additional
revenue
for
RPC.
That's
badly
needed
for
other
reasons
as
well
to
Miss
Clement
and
in
addition
to
what
the
the
the
Mr
dorsy
said.
O
Not
only
is
everything
on
the
on
a
website
and
there's
extensive,
extensive
narrative
on
this.
There
is
also
one
has
to
remember
there:
a
fundamental
difference
on
how
a
commercial
business,
which
was
the
bar
of
rental
apartments,
is
assessed
and
pay
than
what
a
private
home
is
assessed
and
pce.
O
This
needs
to
be
reiterated
and
I
really
encourage
Dr
Clement
to
to
to
look
back
to
these
fundamental
instruments
of
governance
and
and
and
see
what
how
this,
how
this
is
you
know,
treated
in
in
governance,
finally,
to
horiz
and
I'm
I'm
mrol
I'm
very
concerned
about
one
thing
that
you
said
among
anything
else,
that
there
is
as
bestas,
removal
and
I
didn't
hear
you
talking
about
a
abatement.
O
This
is
really
a
problem
and
I
hope
that
we
find
for
you
appropriate
resources
to
to
look
at
finally
to
Mr
Nixon.
This
is
a
question
to
the
county
manager.
There
was
a
recent.
You
know
addition
to
the
pickleball
Courts
at
Walter,
Reed,
a
there's,
a
sound
mitigation.
How
do
we
follow
up
with
you
know
with
assessing
how
this
works
and
how
do
we
report
on
this
final
point?
This
is
a
a
message
that
that
I
got
here
on
my
cell
phone.
O
It
appears
that
we
lost
a
kid
on
for
on
overdose.
We
we
yeah
it's
a
ninth
grader,
whatever
the
circumstances
are
and
I
don't
know,
the
particular
circumstances
is
a
tragic
thing
and
I'm
really
devasta
and
heartbroken
about
this.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
karonis,
and
you
know
something
that
the
Wakefield
Community
was
advised
of.
Last
night
resources
are
going
to
be
made
available
to
students
next
week.
Details
are
not
known
at
this
time.
Mr
Nixon,
my
apologies
for
overlooking
you
in
my
summary
of
remarks.
It's
just
that
we
become
so
familiar
through
our
visits
with
Open
Door
Mondays
I
feel
like
you're,
an
old
friend,
and
so
you
know,
in
addition
to
Mr
Karen
tones'
question.
I,
just
would
like
to
alert
everyone
to
the
state
of
where
we
are
with
pickle
ball.
A
Sound
acoustic,
fencing
has
been
or
acoustic
barriers
have
been
placed
at
Walter,
Reed
and
and
some
others,
and
we
are
evaluating
how
those
are
working
as
we're
learning
with
or
as
we
knew,
as
is
the
case
with
airport
noise
or
pickle
ball
noise.
A
This
is
something
that
is
quite
difficult
because
it
is
experienced
by
people
subjectively,
and
so,
while
there
have
been
some
really
interesting
and
important
studies
about
trying
to
determine
the
intensity
of
the
pickle
ball
pop
and
at
what
distance
you
should
locate
facilities
in
order
to
make
sure
people
are
not
bothered
by
it.
A
Mr
Nixon,
is
our
guiding
principle,
we're
trying
to
work
any
and
all
ways
to
figure
out
how
to
make
pickle
ball
work,
because
we
know
that
people
appreciate
playing
it
and
enjoying
it
and
we're
just
trying
to
find
a
way
to
make
it
harmoniously
blend
in
with
our
facilities
in
Arlington,
it's
going
to
be
a
work
in
progress,
so
I
appreciate
your
patience
and
Goodwill
Miss
Garvey.
P
Yeah,
thank
you
and
I'll
I'll
try
to
go
through
pretty
quickly,
but
I
do
appreciate
everybody
coming
in.
You
know.
These
comments
are
to
bring
things
to
the
board's
attention
that
we
is
not
on
the
agenda
that
we
might
not
know
about,
and
a
number
of
people
have
really
done
that
here,
which
is
very
helpful
to
us
and
to
our
staff
to
try
to
serve
everyone
better
Mr
land.
We've
talked
thank
you.
So
much
for
coming
in
and
I
I'll
be
pushing
a
little
bit.
I
mean
there.
P
I
know
we
have
a
cphd
work
plan
that
this
would
classically
go
into,
but
this
is
something
these
Renovations
have
been
done
just
fine
for
decades
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
there's
not
so
what
has
really
changed?
Not
really
anything
I,
think
I'm,
hoping
we
can
do
a
pretty
quick
fix
on
it,
but
we
will
see
Miss
Alvarez.
Thank
you
very
much.
P
I
may
not
I
may
be
the
only
board
member
but
I
have
said
that
when
I
adopted
the
eho
that
to
me
it
was
a
pilot
and
we're
going
to
be
following
it
pretty
closely
and
finding
out
how
it
actually
is
playing
out,
and
certainly
we
will
be
following
it
it
closely
to
make
sure
that
you
know
what
we
adopted
is
what
we,
what
we
want
and
having
the
effects
we
want.
But
that
will
take
some
time
to
play
out
and
thank
you
for
bringing
these
two
sites
to
our
attention.
P
Miss
m
d,
Roa
I,
was
just
going
to
add
nothing
else.
To
add
from
what
everyone
said,
except
during
elections.
I
know
the
Democratic
party,
and
maybe
the
Republican
Party
offer
rides
to
the
polls.
So
if
there's
some
residents
that
need
rides
to
the
polls
and
you
could
probably
put
up
a
number
just
just
check
on
the
Democratic
Party
website
and
and
possibly
the
Republicans,
do
it
as
well,
but
I
think
if
people
are
having
trouble
getting
there,
I'm
I
suspect
there's
some
folks.
P
That
would
be
very
happy
to
give
people
rides
to
the
polls
and
Mr
decastro
Patel.
Thank
you
very
much.
P
Yes,
this
is
a
very
complex
issue
and
there
are
lots
of
people
who
are
way
smarter
than
we
are
to
try
to
figure
out
how
rank
Choice
voting,
works
and
I
think
in
many
instances
it
does
work
well,
as
you
noted,
and
the
concerns
I've
expressed
is
when
you
have
two
two
people
up
and
how
that
actually
plays
out
I'm,
not
sure
that
is
is
really
what
we
want,
but
I'm
sure
we'll
continue
to
look
at
it.
Thank
you
comments
on
bof.
P
P
Mr
makada
I
a
couple
of
things:
there's
a
landlord
tenant,
commission
colleagues
I,
don't
he
might
may
able
to
go
to
the
landlord
tenant
commission
might
work,
and
then
we
also
have
have
an
edsman
that
that
position's
been
been
vacant
and
and
an
acting
person
has
been
doing
you
a
fine
job,
but
a
little
bit
overwhelmed
with
all
of
the
work.
Q
Yes,
he's
sitting
in
the
second
row
there
and
you
Kevin,
you
can
wave
hello
to
everybody.
That's
you
Kevin
there,
okay,
conell.
P
Welcome
we're
so
glad
to
see
you
we
have
things
for
you
to
do
already
great,
so
Mr
mad
is
on
is
not
is
not
here,
but
anyway
we
will.
We,
he
can
connect
with
you
as
well,
and
you've
got
his
number.
Thank
you.
Mr
Nixon
pickle
ball.
Yes,
this
this
too
we're
we're
it's
a
work
in
progress,
we're
working
on
it
and
I'll
look
forward
to
seeing
you
maybe
at
an
open
Monday
as
well.
Thank.
R
Good
morning,
everyone
I
just
first
want
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
out
and
providing
their
comments,
especially
as
a
new
County
Board
member.
It's
very
helpful
for
me
to
be
aware
of
things
that
may
not
be
coming
before
me
immediately
in
the
work
with
staff.
Mr
ly
I
also
had
to
go
before
a
bza
board
when
I,
remarried
and
merged
families
it
did
feel.
R
R
So
I
understand
the
stress
that
your
community
may
be
facing,
but
I
also
understand
the
need
for
our
County
to
ensure
that
we're
supporting
our
neighborhoods
and
applying
County
ordinances,
so
I
I
am
looking
forward
if
it
is
during
my
time
here
to
look
look
at
ways
to
address
this,
for
your
community
I'm
familiar
with
fairon
community
and
completely
recognize
what
you
are
sharing
with
us
and
the
challenges
that
your
neighbors
and
community
may
be
facing
and
trying
to
meet
this
ordinance
and
to
improve
their
home.
R
Miss
Alvarez
Miss
Alvarez
regarding
the
eho
I,
am
not
as
familiar
with
these
policies
in
the
level
of
detail
that
some
of
my
colleagues
may
be,
but
I
will
try
to
also
inform
myself
and
get
better
informed
on
what
the
actual
implementation
of
them
are
and
work
with
my
colleagues
to
understand
what
is
happening
in
this
particular
situation,
so
that
we
can
again,
as
chair
dorsy,
said,
get
back
to
you
and
determine
what
the
situation
is
in.
R
These
particular
lots
and
thank
you
for
coming
today,
Mr
Rosa
I
look
forward
to
engaging
my
colleagues,
Mr
deante
and
Mr
caronis
regarding
challenges
at
the
RPC
I.
Don't
know
if
I'll
be
here
for
the
time
where
we're
dealing
with
the
CIP,
but
if
there
is
any
direction
before
my
time
ends
in
December,
I
will
do
my
best
to
make
sure
we
are
looking
at
the
needs
at
the
RPC
and
thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
the
to
our
attention.
Mr
Patel
rank
Choice
voting.
R
I
really
appreciate
you
coming
and
speaking
about
that
I'm
familiar
with
rank
Choice
voting,
I,
believe
education
is
really
key,
and
it's
just
something
that
takes
a
long
time
to
understand
in
particular
to
many
our
communities
who
may
not
be
familiar
with
the
voting
process
here
in
the
US
and
may
be
first
time.
R
Voters
first
time,
Americans,
so
I
think
it's
something
we
need
to
continue
to
work
on,
continue
to
look
and
really
ensure
that
our
election
process
not
only
is
easily
accessible
but
easily
understandable,
and
really
appreciate
your
advocacy
because
I
think
it's
a
conversation
that
needs
to
continue
as
far
as
the
barcraft
barcraft
plans
go.
R
Excuse
me,
yeah
with
Geral
Lynch
I
also
support
committed,
affordable
housing,
especially
at
the
lower
income
levels,
and
really
appreciate
the
advocacy
that
voices
is
doing
and
I'll
will
be
looking
for
that
information
to
come
and
make
sure
that
we
can
support
the
best
move
forward
to
do
that
with
Miss
Clement.
Thank
you
for
com
for
your
Dr
Clement.
Thank
you
for
bringing
your
advocacy
to
the
County.
R
Board
I
am
not
as
familiar
with
this
project
at
the
time
of
purchase,
but
I
will
look
into
it
and,
if
I
see
any
concerns,
I
will
share
them
with
my
colleagues,
it
sounds
like
based
on
the
experience
of
my
colleagues
that
they,
this
has
been
done
with
a
lot
of
due
diligence,
and
it
was
an
informed
and
thoughtful
decision
and
efforts
to
really
make
sure
that
we
are
not
losing
some
affordable
housing
that
is
necessary,
especially
on
the
pipe
where
we've
already
lost
so
much
and
Mr
IM
IMO
I
also
need
to
study
the
vrlta
and
familiarize
myself
with
what
our
tenant
rights
are
and
hope
that
in
some
way
we
can
at
least
provide
you
resources
to
address
these
needs.
R
But
I
may
be
following
up
with
you
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
the
issue.
Mr
Nixon
I
am
not
a
pickle
ball
player
I've
been
told.
I
should
become
one
I,
don't
know
about
that,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
I
am
also
I
used
to
live
in
multi
family
housing
recognize
that
noises
can
be
disturbing
to
someone's
quality
of
life
and
we'll
look
to
work
with
finding
a
compromise
to
support
our
pickleball
players,
but
also
support
the
community
that
is
welcoming
them
into
their
homes.
M
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
three
points.
First
Miss
Alvarez
I
had
not
known,
but
I
did
check
the
eho
permit
website
this
morning
and
you
may
know
I
believe
it
was
updated
yesterday,
and
you
mentioned
that
you
thought
both
both
permits
were
approved,
and
this
is
not
meant
in
any
way
to
Discount,
Mr,
karonis
and
and
the
other
and
chair
dorsey's
comments.
I
just
think
I
want
to
press
a
little
bit
on
the
the
realistic
path
forward
is
not
for
us
to
reconsider,
but
I
wonder.
M
If
there's
any
you
know
inappropriate
manner,
we
would
we
would
sort
of
have
to
engage,
find
out
what
staff's
decision
explain
it
as
Mr
as
the
chair
said,
and
then
the
rest
is
is
because
it's
by
right.
The
rest
is
persuasion
and
hope
that
this
would
work
out
in
the
best
possible
way
for
your
neighbors,
but
not
a
legal
process
so
I,
just
it's
not
because
I
I
wanted
to
be
honest
about
those
circumstances
and
U.
I
certainly
think
the
chair
and
and
Mr
karantonis
and
our
staff
can
follow
up
and
I.
M
That's
just
what
I
had
seen
when
I
looked
at
the
eho
permit.
As
you
were
speaking
or
just
after,
you
spoke
a
second
Point
in
addition
to
Mr
I
want
to
thank
the
manager
for
the
for
adding
Mr
Connelly
to
help
lead
the
team
thrilled
about
that
I
also
want
to
recognize
Miss
Thomas
for
the
the.
This
is
a
super
hard
job
to
to
be
the
primary
interface
as
we
address
constituent
services,
and
so
just
a
big
thanks
for
your
work.
M
In
addition
and
looking
forward
to
both
of
you
doing,
a
job
that
is
U,
sometimes
harder
than
I
would
ever
want
to
to
do
on
a
momentto
moment
basis.
So
that's
a
second
thought
and
a
third
is
a
question
regarding
Mr
Kaufman's
comments
for
the
manager
that
maybe
you
could
follow
up.
This
is
I
think
we
had
a
a
Target
of
September
October,
maybe
November
as
the
time
frame
for
when
we
might
hear
an
update.
M
Q
No,
no
it's
my
expectation
and
fervent
hope
that
I'll
be
to
the
board.
Excuse
me
within
the
next
90
days
days:
okay,
with
a
full
proposal,
we
have
been
working
very
diligently.
We've
had
a
few
things
happen
since
the
original
deal,
including
a
complete
turnaround
in
the
way
the
housing
market
works,
but
we're
working
diligently
with
our
partners
and
we'll
be
back
to
you
within
the
next
90
days.
Thank.
M
You
so
much
appreciated,
there's
both
the
overall
agreement
that
Mr
Kaufman
referenced
and
then
there's
the
sort
of
study
and
work
that
I
think
Miss,
Flanigan
Watson
has
been
working
on
on
the
30%
and
below
and
that
part
I'm
of
particularly
Keen
interest
in
addition
to
the
agreement
as
a
whole.
Thank
you.
Mr.
A
Chair,
okay,
thank
you,
colleagues
and
again,
thank
you
for
coming
and
participating
in
public
comment
and
we
will
follow
up
as
we
as
we
stated
with
those
who
we
are
following
up
with.
That
concludes
our
public
comment
period.
We
are
now
ready
to
move
on
with
our
consideration
of
the
consent
agenda.
Mr
Kushner
have
any
items
been
pulled
from
our
consent
agenda.
B
Yes,
give
me
a
moment:
item
number
25
concerning
an
ordinance
to
amend,
reenact
and
Rec
codify
chapter
10,
trash
Recycling
and
care
of
premises.
Article
2,
also
known
as
a
condition
of
private
property,
ordinance
of
the
Arlington
County
code
to
amend
and
clarify
definitions
and
responsibilities,
has
been
pulled.
A
All
right,
thank
you
that
has
been
pulled
by
a
member
of
the
public
at
this
time.
A
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
with
the
exclusion
of
that
item
will
be
in
order
so
moved
by
Mr
Dean.
Is
there
a
second
seconded
by
Mr
Karen
tonis,
any
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
all
please
say:
I
I
I
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
at
5
and
the
consent
agenda
is
approved.
A
So
we
will
hold
a
public
hearing
on
that
item
number
25,
which
was
pulled
from
the
consent
agenda
at
the
start
of
our
evening
portion
of
our
recess
meeting
on
Tuesday,
the
26th
of
September.
That
hearing
will
begin
no
earlier
than
6:30
p.m.
if
you
want
to
speak
on
that
item.
You
can
sign
up
on
the
county
board's
website
beginning
today.
If
you
do
not
have
access
to
a
computer,
you
can
also
feel
free
to
call
us,
during
business
hours
at
703,
228
3130,
to
register
to
speak
at
that
meeting.
A
But
even
with
that
item
that
was
pulled,
the
board
just
approved
dozens
of
consent,
agenda
items,
including
minor
site
plan
amendments,
use,
permit
requests,
ordinance,
amendments
request
to
advertise
and
more.
These
items
are
placed
on
our
consent
agenda,
not
because
they're
unimportant,
but
because
there
are
dozens
of
them
and
we
cannot
hold
efficient
public
hearings
on
all
of
them,
and
so
they
are
thought
to
be
non-controversial.
Therefore,
they
are
placed
on
our
consent
agenda,
but
they
are
certainly
important.
So
I'll
highlight
a
few
item
24.
A
This
is
the
enactment
of
something
that
was
advertised
where
the
board
has
amended
chapter
14.2
of
the
county
code
that
requires
motor
vehicle
operators
to
stop
completely
for
pedest
pedestrians
and
crosswalks,
whereas
the
previous
law
only
required
a
yield.
This
code
change
puts
us
in
conformance
with
state
law
and
also
is
consistent
with
the
best
practices,
as
we
Implement
our
vision,
zero
efforts
item
number
33,
the
Crystal
City
metro
rail
station.
Excuse
me
East
entrance
final
design
agreement.
A
This
just
brings
together
and
commits
the
resources
to
move
forward
with
the
project
coordination
for
the
new
Metro
station
entrance
at
Crystal
City.
This
project
is
responsible,
responsive
to
ridership
demand,
as
Crystal
City
is
one
of
the
most
heavily
used
Metro
stations,
as
well
as
an
important
link
for
those
who
are
connecting
through
VRE
art,
Metro,
Bus
Etc.
We
also
have
accepted
millions
of
dollars
in
state
and
federal
funding
to
support
County
programs
and
services
for
item
number
34.
A
That's
a
little
over
$300,000
in
vot
funding
to
support
the
design
and
construction
of
the
blont
Junction
trail
Phase
2
project,
which
includes
updating
three
remaining
Trail
connectors
to
comply
with
the
Ada,
completing
the
trails,
pedestrian
and
cyclist
Network
and
milling
and
repaving
a
segment
of
the
fourmile
Run
Trail.
Then
item
number
35
is
a
2
and
a/4
million
in
funding
for
storm
water
management
and
water
to
be
used
for
water
and
Sewer
utility
infrastructure
within
the
county.
A
We
also
accepted
with
item
38
$149,000
in
Workforce
Innovation
and
Opportunity
Act
funds
from
the
Virginia
Community
College
system
to
support
Arlington

Talent
programs,
efforts
to
train
residents
with
non-traditional
backgrounds
and
computer
related
occupations
like
information
technology
and
cyber
security,
and
we
accepted
nearly
$300,000
from
the
Virginia
Department
of
Health
to
support
County

and
reduce
Co

through
Workforce
trainings,
translation
of
communications
materials,
Community
engagement
and
costs
associated
with
Community
engagement
and
strategic
planning
efforts.
A
We
also
gave
some
money
away
with
some
grants.
Item
39.
The
board
approved
the
allocation
of$
25,8
in
direct
financial
support
to
16
Arts
organizations
along
with
two
individual
artists
through
the
Arlington
Arts
grant
program.
These
Awards
come
at
the
recommendation
of
the
Arlington
commission
for
the
Arts,
which
is
responsible
for
the
annual
distribution
of
Arts
resources
among
Arlington
artists
and
cultural
organizations
for
item
46.
A
The
board
also
approved
anou
between
the
Virginia
Department
of
Health
and
the
county
to
allow
the
Juvenile,
Domestic
Relations,
District,
Court,
Services
Unit,

that
three
times
fast
to
to
initiate
a
Narcan
leave

to
their
clients,
parents,
families
and
with
the
goal
of
preventing
fatalities
and
increasing
Community
awareness
to
Naran
and
then.
Finally,
there
is
an
amendment
to
chapter
48,
I'm,
sorry,
item
50,
which
is
an
amendment
to
chapter
48,
which
concerns
flood
plan,
FL
flood
plan
management.
A
The
board
authorized
the
advertisement
of
a
public
Hearing
in
October
to
consider
and
amendment
to
that
that
chapter
of
the
county
code,
we
are
required
to
update
this
ordinance
to
continue
participation
in
the
National
flood
insurance
program,
which
makes
flood
insur
insurance
available
to
Property
Owners
within
our
County.
A
The
amended
ordinance
would
closely
conform
to
the
state
model
ordinance
which
was
developed
by
the
Virginia
Department
of
Conservation
and
Recreation
to
facilitate
approval
by
the
Federal
Emergency
Management
agency,
pH
lot
of
stuff
all
right,
so
I
think
at
this
point,
we're
now
ready
to
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda.
Mr
Kushner.
Would
you
please
call?
Our
first
item.
B
Yes,
of
course,
item
number
53
relates
to
the
Bingham
Center
site
plan
number
467
at
3200,
Wilson
Boulevard
part
A
is
the
site
plan
number
467
to
construct
approximately
5.10
floor
area
ration
total
density,
including
290
dwelling
units
of
residential
floor
area,
229
rooms
of
Hotel,

area
and
6,169
ft
of
retail
floor
area.
S
Good
morning
board
members
I'm
Corney
Badger,
with
planning
division,
I'll
be
giving
a
presentation
on
behalf
of
staff
for
the
Bingham
Center
project.
The
Bingham
Center
proposal
consists
of
two
items:
a
site
plan
to
facilitate
the
Redevelopment
of
the
site
and
then
an
ordinance
to
vacate
a
portion
of
public
alley.
The
site
is
located
at
3200
Wilson
Boulevard,
which
is
within
the
Clarendon
revitalization
District.
The
site
is
currently
developed
with
the
old
Silver
Diner
building
the
lot
beer
garden,
a
couple,
retail
buildings
and
surface
parking
lots.
S
The
site
plan
includes
the
majority
of
the
block
shown
here
on
the
screen,
but
does
not
include
the
southeast
Corner,
which
is
the
site
of
the
Joyce
Motors
site
plan
that
was
approved
in
February
earlier
this
year.
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
construct
two
new
buildings,
a
hotel
on
the
Northern
portion
of
the
block
and
a
mixed
juice
residential
building
on
the
southern
portion.
The
hotel
is
proposed
to
be
10
stories
in
height
with
229
rooms,
a
penthouse
amenity
space
and
a
ground
floor.
Cafe.
S
The
residential
building
is
proposed
to
be
11
stories
with
290
units
in
ground
floor.
Retail.
Both
buildings
will
be
parked
with
the
new
parking
garage
underground.
The
applicant
will
be
coordinating
with
the
joy
Motors
project
to
provide
a
new
10th
Road
North,
which
will
run
east
west
between
the
residential
and
hotel
buildings.
They
will
also
be
coordinating
to
construct
a
new
north
south
Alley
between
the
proposed
residential
building
and
the
joy
motors
building.
The
applicant
is
requesting
zoning
modifications
for
additional
density,
reduced
parking
and
loading,
some
design
requirements
and
density
exclusions.
S
There's
also
a
proposed
vacation
on
the
site.
The
applicant
is
requesting
to
vacate
a
public
alley,
a
portion
of
which
was
vacated
with
the
joy
Motors
project.
The
site
is
subject
to
the
2022
updates
to
the
claron
sector
plan.
S
The
majority
of
the
sector
plan
guidance
is
codified
through
the
Arlington
County
zoning
ordinance
and
I'm,
going
to
pull
out
a
few
of
those
key
guidelines
that
staff
analyzed
during
the
course
of
the
review,
starting
first
with
the
sector
plan
identified
two
building
stepb
backs
along
Wilson
Boulevard,
which
are
shown
in
purple
and
circled
in
red
on
the
map
here.
The
purpose
of
these
step
acts
is
to
help
create
a
pedestrian
architecture
and
to
be
contextually
appropriate
with
existing
buildings.
S
The
applicant's
proposal
meets
with
this
intent
of
the
sector
plan
to
create
pedestrian
scale
environment
along
Wilson
Boulevard
and
to
be
contextually
appropriate
with
the
buildings
across
Wilson.
Second,
the
sector
plan
has
a
maximum
height
of
110
ft
at
this
location,
with
tapering
on
the
southern
building
which
the
applicant
is
meeting.
The
sector
plan
also
calls
for
60%
commercial
use
on
the
Northern
parcel,
which
is
being
met
by
the
hotel
use
and
a
residential
or
mixed,
build
mixed
use.
S
Building
on
the
southern
parcel,
which
is
also
being
met,
the
sector
plan
envisions
an
Irving
Plaza,
which
abuts
the
building
on
the
east
side,
so
to
be
approximately
6200,
Square
ft
and
the
main
purpose
the
sector
plan
identifies
for.
This
is
to
maintain
a
pedestrian
connection
from
Lion
Park
and
Ashton
Heights
associations
to
the
South
up
through
through
the
site
and
into
the
claron
Central
Park
and
up
to
the
metro
station,
and
this
will
be
provided
with
the
delivery
of
this
project.
S
And
finally,
the
sector
plan
identifies
service
functions
and
loading
to
incur
on
the
new
10th
Road
North
and
new
alley
internalizing
all
service
and
loading
functions
internal
to
the
block,
and
this
is
where
we
saw
the
largest
project
Evolution
throughout
the
the
process
you
can
see
on
the
left.
The
applicant
was
originally
proposing
to
locate
the
loading
for
the
hotel
on
North
Irving
Street
and
push
the
back
of
house
uses
onto
North
Irving,
resulting
in
limited
transparency
and
introducing
pedestrian
conflict
point
along
the
adjacent
future.
Irving
Plaza.
S
The
applicant
has,
since
revised
their
ground
floor
plan
for
the
hotel
to
locate
the
the
loading
to
be
off
of
tenth
Road
North
and
has
agreed
to
have
transparent
Windows
into
the
kitchen
along
North,
Irving
Street,
providing
transparency
and
what
could
be
a
unique
experience
to
pedestrians
and
Plaza
goers
having
this
type
of
activation
along?
The
plaza
here
are
the
resulting
facades
for
the
North
Irving
Street.
The
original
smle
is
on
the
top.
The
current
smle
on
the
bottom.
S
You
can
see
the
area
demarcated
in
yellow
is
the
area
that
will
have
transparent,
Windows,
the
ground
floor
of
which
will
be
into
the
kitchen,
and
the
area
demarcated
by
Red
is
the
area
that's
conditioned
and
required
to
have
a
decorative
treatment.
Finally,
the
project
is
earning
density
through
providing
Community
benefits,
including
participation
in
the
Green
Building
incentive
program
at
the
35
F
level.
They
were,
they
will
also
be
provided
in
15
on-site
committed,
affordable
units
5
one
bedrooms
and
10
two
bedrooms
available
at
the
60%
area
meeting
income
level
for
30
years.
S
The
applicant
will
be
funding
the
public
design
process
for
the
future,
Irving
Street,
Plaza
and
then
constructing
what
comes
out
of
that,
they
will
also
be
giving
a
monetary
contribution
towards
public
space
improvements
in
clarenton.
Finally,
they'll
be
providing
a
10-ft
streetcape
on
the
west
side
of
wson
bulevard,
which
will
include
a
widened,
sidewalk,
a
landscape
strip
and
new
street
lights.
S
The
project
proposal
furthers
all
three
overarching
goals
of
the
sector
plan
by
improving
the
quality
of
the
public
realm,
creating
accessible
and
connected
places
and
maintaining
a
rich
mix
of
uses.
This
project
went
through
a
year-long
community
engagement
process,
starting
with
the
site
plan
review
committee,
then
going
to
Transportation,
Planning
and
housing
commissions.
All
three
commissions
voted
unanimously
to
recommend
approval
of
the
project,
transportation
and
planning
commissions,
both
passed,
similar
motions
requesting
a
midblock
Crossing
on
Wilson
Boulevard.
S
This
is
is
something
that
staff
doesn't
support
at
this
time,
but
is
committed
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
precluded
by
this
development
if
it's
needed
in
the
future,
with
that
staff
recommends
that
you
approve
the
Bingham
Center
site
plan
and
find
the
ordinance
of
vacation
substantially
in
accord
with
the
comprehensive
plan
of
Arlington
County
and
with
that
I'll
stop
sharing
my
screen
and
happy
to
answer
questions
when
the
time
comes.
Thank
you.
T
Is
David
Tarter
I'm
on
the
screen?
Can
you
hear
me
we
can
hear
you
Mr
Tarter
yeah
I'm.
Very
sorry.
I
had
avoided
coid
for
two
and
a
half
years,
but
this
past
week
it
finally
hit
me
with
a
with
a
loud
thunk.
So.
T
All
right,
thank
you,
so
much
so
I'd
like
to
share
my
screen
right
now.
First
off,
let
me
just
say
we
do
have
members
of
the
team
in
person
and
also
other
folks
online.
So
the
full
tingent
of
our
development
team
is
with
us
today
to
hopefully
answer
any
questions
or
concerns
you
might
have.
If
I
may,
let
me
go
ahead
and
share
the
screen
and
then
go
ahead
and
go
through
a
brief
presentation
for
you.
T
So,
let's
see,
if
this
comes
up,
can
you
see
that,
yes,
okay,
great
so
Courtney,
did
a
very
nice
presentation.
I
want
to
thank
her
Rob
Gibson,
Mike
huki
and
the
whole
team
they've
been
very
patient
with
us.
As
you
heard,
this
is
a
long
time
coming.
There
were
some
challenges
U,
particularly
with
the
site,
layout
and
design.
T
But
let
me
take
you
very
briefly
through
our
project,
as
you
saw
before
the
the
project,
the
site
is
really
a
giant
triangle
and
we
carved
off
a
nice
rectangle
for
Joyce
Motors
through
a
complex
consolidation
and
land
swap
we
were
left
with
two
triangles
and
those
are
always
the
challenge.
You
don't
have
four
sides.
You
don't
have
a
back
to
your
project,
particularly
with
the
hotel,
which
is
an
operating
business.
T
It
presents
some
real
challenges,
and
so
we've
worked
through
the
challenges
with
staff
over
this
past
period
of
time,
but
anyway,
let's
go
up
to
the
next
slide.
This
is
what
it
is
now
you're
familiar
with
the
site.
It's
a
lot
of
asphalt,
it's
a
lot
of
curb
cuts
and
it's
a
lot
of
substandard
streetscape.
You
can
see
here,
I
mean
it
feels
dangerous,
just
walking
on
the
sidewalk
around
here
and
so
we're
going
to
make
significant
improvements
to
this
site.
That'll
really
bring
it
into
the
modern
era.
T
On
this
slide
here
you
can
see
up
to
38%
of
our
site.
This
green
area
here
is
being
conveyed
for
public
purposes
that
could
be
widening.
Wilson
Boulevard,
shifting
Wilson
Boulevard,
adding
a
new
tenth,
Road
North,
widen
streetcape
throughout
the
whole
site,
so
over
a
third
of
our
site
is
now
being
conveyed
for
public
uses,
which
is
going
to
make
a
dramatically
better
site
for
everyone,
but
it
did
present
those
challenges.
I
mentioned
to
you,
here's
another
view
of
our
site
and
green
roofs,
landscape.
T
Terraces
ground
floor,
restaurants,
at
activation
on
the
ground
floor
that
everybody
wants
you're
going
to
have
it
here.
This
is
going
to
be,
to
my
knowledge,
the
only
hotel
in
Clarendon,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
high-end
hotel.
That
I
think
everybody's
going
to
be
really
proud
of.
You
heard
the
site
summary
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
that
again,
we
think
parking
is
commenor
of
other
projects
in
the
area.

is
the
red
building
at
the
bottom
there.
This
is
our
hotel
and
we
think
it's
be
a
really
exciting
Hotel,
another
view
of
that
hotel
and
another
view
again
of
the
Hotel.
This
is
some
of
the
inspiration
it
really
wants
to
be,
and
my
client
wants
us
to
be
a
very
high-end
Hotel,
quirky
funky,
he
likes
to
say
clar
and
funky
and
I
think
I
think
that's
what
you're
going
to
get
with
this
project
U,
but
really
capturing
the
feel
and
the
neighbor.
T
You
know
the
flavor
of
Clarendon
both
on
the
outside
and
on
the
inside.
This
is
the
multif
family,
Residential
Building
we're
looking
up
Wilson
Boulevard
to
the
left,
10th
Street
to
the
right
again.
You
can
see
that
taper
called
for
in
the
sector
plan
75,
ft,
95,
ft
and
and
110
ft.
We've
got
green
roofs.
Terraces
we've
got
meet
the
15%
tree
canopy
that
the
county
seeks.
It's
been
met
in
this
project.
Again,
you
can
see
those
canopies,
the
green
roofs
and
the
like
here.
T
In
this
this
view
this
is
a
above
10th
Street
and
creating
a
really
nice
walkable
streetcap,
but
dramatic
Improvement
as
to
what's
there
now
potential
for
outdoor
seating,
wide
sidewalks,
safe,
sidewalks,
Street,
Scapes
street
lights,
you
know
Furniture
Street,
trees,
the
whole
nine
yard
Ys.
It's
going
to
be
a
dramatic
improvement
from
what
you
see
in
the
current
condition.
Projects
also
very
lead
sustainable.
T
We
are
seeking
lead
gold
at
the
35
level,
and
so
we've
got
lots
of
good
stuff
going
on
with
the
environment,
and
we
can
go
into
that
if
you,
if
you
so
desire,
I,
think
we're
especially
proud
of
our
community
benefits
package.
15
adus
10,
two
better
units,
those
big
units,
five
one-bedroom
units
and
two
of
the
units
are
type
A
Accessible.
So
we're
very
proud
of
that
aspect
of
the
project.
T
The
park
is
really
exciting:
it's
modest
in
size,
something
like
6200
Square
ft,
but
we
think
it's
going
to
be
a
really
nice
addition
to
the
neighborhood
and
it's
going
to
be
built
in
connection
with
the
hotel.
So
it's
not
going
to
be
one
of
these
projects.
That
lingers
was
important
to
my
client
and
I.
Think
the
county
as
well
to
just
you
kind
of
get
on
with
things,
and
so
the
developer
will
pay
for
the
process.
T
The
county
will
manage
it
and
the
developer
will
build
the
park
that
is
ultimately
designed
in
the
county
Le
process.
So
we're
excited
about
that
as
well.
This
is
the
other
side
of
Wilson
Boulevard.
T
As
you
can
see,
it's
not
much
better
than
our
side
very
narrow,
sidewalks,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
improving
that
as
well
and
so
Wilson
is
kind
of
Shifting
over
to
our
side,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we're
taking
kind
of
the
brunt
of
the
Wilson
Boulevard
and
this
side
can
get
bigger
and
so
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
pay
to
enlarge
this
side
of
the
sidewalk
and
streetcape
on
Wilson
Boulevard,
so
you're
going
to
have
a
dramatically
better
experience
on
the
other
side
of
Wilson
Boulevard
with
a
wider
sidewalk
l,
scaping
street
lights
Etc.
T
So
we
think
that's
going
to
be
a
huge
addition
to
an
area
that
really
I
think
desperately
needs
some
pedest
improvements.
This
is
just
a
summary
of
what
I've
already
told
you
I.
Don't
think
I
need
to
go
into
this,
but
we're
very
excited
about
the
project.
It's
been
a
long
time
coming,
but
we
really
appreciate
all
the
hard
work.
That's
gotten
us
to
where
we
are
right
now
so
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much
Mr
Charter,
and
we
see
that
the
team
is
all
assembled
and
we'll
be
available
for
questions.
We're
now
ready
to
move
to
our
advisory
groups
for
any
comments
we
have
from
the
Planning
Commission
Mr
tell
me
you'll
start
and
then
you'll
be
followed
by
Mr
McBeth,
who
I
think
may
be
joining
us
virtually
and
then
finally,
Miss
McIntyre,
who
is
here
in
the
room.
U
Good
morning,
chair
dorsy
and
County
board
members,
as
mentioned
I'm
Jim,
leli
and
I'm.
Here
representing
the
Planning
Commission,
we
heard
the
application
for
site
plan
467
the
Bingham
Center
at
our
last
meeting,
and
we
voted
unanimously
12,
nothing
to
recommend
approval
of
this
project.
We
approved
an
additional
motion
12
to
Z
that
I'll
get
into
a
bit
later.
Prior
to
our
vote,
we
had
one
public
speaker
who
stated
that
the
landscape
plan
and
proposals
for
the
Irving
Street
Plaza,
were
inadequate.
U
Issues
touched
upon
during
our
discussion
included,
affordable
housing
and
the
mix
of
units
open
space
tree
canopy
and
Landscape
The
Pedestrian
experience
parking
and
the
Irving
Street
Plaza.
The
planning
commission's
deliberations
were
mostly
centered
on
affordable
housing
and
the
Desir
ability
of
a
midblock
pedestrian
Crossing
at
Wilson
Boulevard
and
the
new
newly
created
10th
Road
north.
This
project
incorporates
Apartments
reserved
at
the
60%
Ami
level,
including
two
bedroom
family
units.
U
Other
Commissioners
commended
this,
but
also
noted
the
great
need
for
units
reserved
at
the
30%
Ami
level
and
asked
staff
if
negotiations
on
future
projects
could
conclude
that
level.
The
commission
also
apped
that
family
siiz
units
really
should
be
considered
three
plus
bedrooms
rather
than
two
for
transportation.
The
Commissioners
has
noted
with
approval
that
the
two
buildings
in
this
project
will
share
a
below
ground
garage
and
that
knockout
panels
will
be
designed
into
the
project
to
allow
sharing
with
the
approved
Joyce
Motors
project
right
next
to
it.
U
Thus,
the
entire
block
will
have
a
shared
garage.
Other
Transportation
related
issue
concern
the
desirability
of
a
mid
block
Crossing
on
Wilson
Boulevard
staff
has
not
included
such
a
Crossing
in
the
site
plan.
The
commissioner
noted
that
North
Side
social
is
directly
across
Wilson
from
the
new
intersection,
and
this
project
will
generate
a
good
number
of
apartment
residents
and
hotel
guests,
who
will
no
doubt
cross
the
street
directly
to
get
to
to
it
rather
than
walking
to
the
ends
of
this,
this
fairly
long
block
to
the
formal
Crossings.
U
We
know
that
across
the
street
there,
the
development
is
pretty
much
all
locked
in.
As
you
know,
North
Side
social
is
a
very,
very
popular
attraction.
Just
you
know,
drawing
people
from
the
neighborhood
next
door
is
an
auto
oriented
unit.
A
building
that
is
preserved
will
presumably
change
function
in
the
future.
Beyond
that
is
a
Dominion
substation,
which
is
not
going
to
be
changing,
but
the
north
side.
Social,
is
right
across
that
potential
new
intersection.
The
applicant
supports
the
concept
of
recrossing.
U
Here,
Dees
staff
said
that
an
existing
pedestrian
desire
line
has
not
been
established.
Will
they
will
be
open
to
evaluation
post
construction?
The
commission,
along
with
the
Transportation
Commission,
believes
the
need
is
sufficiently
apparent
now
that
planning
for
such
Crossing
should
be
done
as
part
of
this.
As
such,
the
commission
voted
unanimously
in
favor
of
an
amendment
to
the
motion
recommending
approval
of
the
project
that
would
include
a
pedestrian
Crossing
at
Wilson
Boulevard
and
the
new
10th
Road
North
in
voting
to
recommend
approval.
U
The
Planning
Commission
was
overall,
very
enthusiastic
about
this
project
and
noted
the
applicant
was
responsive
to
staff
commission
and
neighborhood
recommendations
during
thec
process.
The
proposed
vacation
was
also
unanimously
found
to
be
consistent
with
the
master
Transportation
plan,
and
the
vote
was
12.
Nothing
I
thank
you
and
I'm
available
for
questions.
G
Mcbeth,
yes,
I
am
here
great.
Thank
you
very
much.
The
Housing
Commission
considered
the
applicants
proposal
at
its
September
14th
meeting,
and
the
commission
ended
up
voting
unanimously
to
approve
the
project.
The
Housing
Commission
appreciates
the
additional
contribution
of
15
on-site
committed,
affordable
units
to
earn
additional
bonus
sensity,
especially
in
Clarendon,
where
we
have
a
real
dir
of
committed,
affordable
units
and
just
affordable
units.
G
In
general,
we
also
discussed
with
the
applicant
potentially
looking
at
increasing
the
amount
of
type
A
Accessible
units
at
both
the
Residential
Building,
as
well
as
the
hotel.
That's
been
a
topic
that
has
come
up
many
times
for
different
site
plans
within
the
Housing.
Commission
is
looking
to
go
beyond
the
required
2%
and
increasing
the
amount
of
housing
available
for
residents
with
disability
and
accessibility
concerns.
G
We
had
also
discussed
and
asked
questions
of
the
staff
about
how
they
valued
the
on-site
caps
in
exchange
for
additional
density
and
how
that
had
worked
out
in
the
negotiation
process.
But
overall,
we
were
very
supportive
of
the
project,
appreciated
the
presentations
and
the
work
of
both
staff
and
the
applicant
and
look
forward
to
it.
Moving.
V
C2E2
morning,
Joan
McIntyre
speaking
on
behalf,
speak.
A
V
Okay,
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
climate
change
energy
and
environment
commission,
while
the
applicant
is
participating
in
the
Green
Building
incentive
policy
at
the
3.5,
far
level,
which
is
above
the
the
minimum
required
for
the
program,
it
does
fall
short
in
meeting
the
County's
Community
energy
goals.
Some
of
the
extra
points
that
they'll
be
earning
to
get
the
3.5
relate
to
leakage.
V
Testing
for
for
air
and
Envelope,
as
well
as
the
5%
reduction
of
life
cycle,
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
off-site
renewable
energy
for
about
30%
of
its
energy
needs
for
I
believe
a
10-year
period,
but
again
with
our
overall
scoring.
We
give
it
about
a
63%
which
is
pretty
much
on
par
with
what
we're
seeing
with
with
many
other
buildings
that
that
we've
looked
at
as
with
most
projects
we
again
Focus
very
heavily
on
electrification.
V
Electrification
is
crucial
for
reducing
fossil
fuel
consumption,
because
you
know
what
the
electric
grid
can
change
and
is
changing
and
in
fact
the
commitment
to
renewable
off-site
renewable
energy
will
lower
the
profile
for
this
building
overall
in
terms
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
So
again,
this
project
is
planning
gas
for
HVAC
hot
water
and
we
presume
cooking
for
the
commercial
facilities,
although
it's
not
actually
specified
for
the
HVAC
system,
that's
primarily
in
the
ventilation
system.
V
Again,
this
is
what
we
often
see
in
this
case:
they're,
actually
opting
for
probably
the
most
greenhouse
gas
emission
system,
which
is
a
furnace
gas
gas
furnace.
Its
energy
profile,
energy
performance
model
actually
identifies
a
couple
of
Alternatives
that
we've
seen
other
projects
use,
which
would
be
a
heat
pump
system
that
uses
auxiliary
either
gas
or
electric
heat.
Obviously,
we
would
again
recommend
highly
that
they
look
at
the
electric
portion
of
that
heat
pump.
V
V
That
tends
to
be
the
option
of
providing
gas
for
commercial
kitchen
facilities,
and
we
think
that's
probably
time
to
start
switching
our
focus
on
that
and
should
actually
look
for
all
electric
kitchen
facilities
to
again
move
towards
an
all
electric
building
on
the
Energy
Efficiency
again
key
thing:
you
know
cutting
down
the
amount
of
energy
that
you're
using
is
the
first
step
in
terms
of
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emission.
The
project
commits
to
the
minimum
of
20%
reduction
over
the
ashray
Baseline.
V
However,
based
on
their
actually
their
energy
performance
models,
it
would
look
like
they
could
very
easily
meet
25%
or
more
above
the
ashray.
So
we
would
strongly
encourage
them
to
continue
to
focus
on
options
of
reducing
their
energy
energy
or
improving
their
Energy
Efficiency
across
the
board
and
then
again
EV
charging
they're
going
with
a
minimum.
V
We
would
encourage
them
to
consider
increasing
the
amount
of
particularly
EV
ready
spaces
so
that
they
can
accommodate
a
shift
which
could
be
probably
more
rapid
than
than
some
people
had
earlier,
been
anticipating
and
and
maybe
so
so
that
they
can
go
there.
But
again,
you
know
summing
up,
you
know
we're
we're.
Looking
this
year
again
at
reaching
breaking
a
record
on
heat
I
mean
that's
almost
almost
certain,
given
the
the
extreme
temperatures
we've
had
this
winter,
we
just
don't
have
time
to
wait.
V
There
isn't
really
a
transition
period
over
so
every
every
building
that
we
build
really
needs
to
be
looking
at
striving
to
get
the
maximum
amount
of
reduction
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
in
particularly
reducing
the
on-site
fossil
fuel
consumption,
which
makes
it
very
difficult
to
change
over
time.
So
thank
you
very
much.
W
W
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
today,
I'm
speaking
today,
in
order
to
express
my
support
for
the
approval
of
the
Bingham
Center
I
believe
that
this
building
is
a
great
fit
for
Clarendon
and
that
it
provides
additional
density
to
a
area
that
is
seeing
a
lot
of
increased
demand,
as
well
as
providing
funds
for
the
Irving
Plaza
and
constructing
it,
which
will
be
a
great
space
for
the
Clarin
Community.
W
Once
it's
done,
I
look
forward
to
new
visitors,
staying
in
the
hotel,
making
use
of
the
completed
Irving,
Plaza
and,
most
importantly,
welcoming
new
neighbors.
Additionally
I
just
wanted
to
shout
out
Christine
wood
from
the
claron
courthouse,
civic
association
for
all
of
her
work.
She
does
for
the
neighborh
Hood,
including
her
involvement
in
thec
process
for
the
site
plan.
Thank
you.
X
Y
Schwarz
hello,
can
you
hear
me.
Y
Oh,
the
conceptual
landscape
plan
for
this
project
does
not
describe
the
species
and
locations
of
any
shrubs
ground
covers
and
perennials
that
the
applicant
will
install
I
have
repeatedly
asked
the
applicant
to
provide
this
information
during
the
site,
planine
review
process
and
the
planning
commission's
public
hearing.
However,
the
applicant
has
not
responded
to
my
requests.
Please
therefore
require
the
applicant
to
provide
this
information
for
public
review
before
you
approve
this
project.
You
haven't
done
this
before,
but
you
should
start
doing
it
now
to
comply
with
the
county
board's
2016
monic
pledge.
Y
The
planting
should
contain
native
plants
that
put
pollin,
especially
common
milked
and
aaka.
This
is
the
only
plant
on
which
monic
butterflies
prefer
to
lay
eggs
and
which
survives
at
Arlington's
natural
areas.
No
other
milked.
Species
native
to
Northern
Virginia
provides
these
benefits
of
for
us.
Forest
Service
publication
states
that
common
milk
weed
is
quote:
Nature's
Mega
food
for
insects.
Over
450
insects
are
known
to
feed
on
some
plant
CR
portion
of
the
plant
in
the
Northeast
and
Midwest.
Y
It
is
among
the
most
important
food
plants
from
monic
caterpillars,
a
publication
by
the
zery
society
from
fer
conservation
states.
That
studies
have
demonstrated
the
affection
of
common
milk.
Le
is
essential
to
sustain
Eastern
monic,
butterfly
populations.
However,
we
don't
see
this
yet
in
the
in
this
side
plan
the
Project's
tree,
trenches,
Ledges
and
green
roofs
should
therefore
contain
common
milked.
Right
now
these
is,
there
is
no
insurance
of
this.
All
plant
should
be
native
in
M
Atlantic
region
to
increase
bioil
native
Vines
should
hang
from
the
roofs
Ledges
and
balconies.
Y
They
should
also
comine
on
trailes
from
the
ground
and
from
Ledges.
The
project
will
contain
a
park
or
Plaza
at
the
North
End
of
Irving
Street.
However,
if
not
prevented
construct
of
that
facility
will
destroy
a
natural
area
on
County
property
that
now
contains
much
common
milked
as
other
as
well
as
other
plants
that
support
pollinators.
This
is
my
main
point
to
this
talk.
Y
As
Mr
tter
has
shown
in
its
presentation,
the
County's,
Department
of
par
and
Rec
recreation,
in
conjunction
with
the
applicant,
will
conduct
a
public
enagement
process
that
will
determine
the
size,
use
and
design
of
the
park
or,
and
we
probably
follow
Mr
presentation.
Please
ensure
the
County
Board
will
review
the
DPR
PL
through
public
space
before
they
go
forward.
Otherwise,
you're
going
to
defeat
the
the
purpose
of
whole.
This
is
very
important.
Thank
you.
A
Z
Schwarz
hi
I'm,
Jason,
Schwarz
and
I
support
this
project.
This
is
going
to
be
nice
Improvement
for
the
block
and
a
critical
connector
to
tie
in
together.
Claron
and
Virginia
Square
I
run
along
Wilson
every
day
and
the
sidewalk
is
very
narrow
and
dangerous.
Car
speed
by
and
the
sidewalk
is
overcrowded
I
have
to
watch
out
for
bus
mirrors,
which
sometimes
protrude
above
the
sidewalk
I,
also
regularly
see
people
carrying
Trader
Joe's
bags
walking
across
this
area
all
the
way
into
Virginia
Square
in
bson.
Z
Of
course,
I
wish
the
buildings
would
be
much
taller.
It's
sad
to
see
only
11
stories
for
this
prime
location.
Many
of
the
future
residential
buildings
in
the
development
pipeline
are
well
below
the
recommended.
Glop
Heights,
due
to
the
current
interest
rate,
environment,
materials,
labor
and
other
costs,
for
example,
riverhouse
in
at
rosin
and
red
line
in
are
all
well
below
the
height
limits.
I'm,
really
not
looking
forward
to
seeing
seven
story.
Stick
build
market
rate
buildings
on
some
of
the
most
valuable
land
in
the
entire
State.
Z
This
site
plan
U,
you
know,
may
not
even
be
feasible
in
today's
environment,
which
is
something
to
look
out
for
having
sector
plans
that
barely
make
it
feasible
to
build
to
the
max
Heights
adds
extra
costs
and
limits
of
the
public
benefits,
including
the
much
needed
housing
Supply.
This
site
plan
streetscape
improvements,
are
much
needed
and
and
could
be
a
huge
step
forward,
but
there
still
could
be
so
much
more.
That
could
be
done.
Z
You
know
like
protected
bike
lanes
and,
of
course,
we
can
get
way
more
Cs
and
a
lot
of
the
things
that
other
comments.
Commenters
are
saying
we
could
get
if
we
have
really
the
actually
appropriate
density
on
the
site.
This
plan
has
taken
pretty
long
to
get
approved
a
lot
of
different
things
that
have
gone
into
it,
to
make
it
more
difficult
and
that
cost
is
ultimately
borne
out
by
renters.
The
county
overall
is
62%
renters
and
the
clar
and
Courthouse
civic
association
is
75%
renters.
Z
You
know
people
in
that
living
in
these
buildings
should
really
have
more
more
of
a
say
and
how
these
buildings
are
designed
in
the
in
the
built
area
around
them.
Not
just
token
input,
you
know
for
minor
minor
sort
of
things.
We
should
have
really
a
greater
say.
Z
You
know,
renters,
that
seeking
to
live
in
Arlington
are
not
pesky
burdens,
but
vital
assets
that
make
our
community
great
and
and
the
designs
and
buildings
should
really
reflect
that
and
those
preferences
in
the
past
year,
according
to
rent,
hop
rents
in
the
Clarendon
Metro
station,
are
up
12%,
which
is
a
really
large
Gap,
but
we
see
in
other
places
where
they're
actually
building
substantial
density
like
avvr,
the
rents
are
only
up.
2%,
year-over-year
and
in
places
like
Noma
rents
have
actually
declined.
Z
6%
year-over-year,
so
in
closing
I'm
really
happy
to
see
this
finally
be
ready
for
approval,
but
we
really
got
to
think
long
term
and
really
look
to
build
more
housing
and
really
make
our
community
next
level
up
and
not
just
settle
for.
You
know
typical
improvements,
so
we
can
really
go
even
Next
Level.
So
thank
you
so
much.
N
A
Correct,
therefore,
the
discussion
is
now
with
the
board
colleagues
to
facilitate
our
conversation.
Perhaps
there
are
questions
and
comments
that
you'll
have
about
this.
As
I
was
listening
to
the
presentations
and
the
testimony,
it
seems
that
generally
comments
or
questions
related
to
the
site
plan,
which
includes
architecture,
architecture,
the
new
10th,
10th,
Road
North-
would
be
in
order,
as
well
as
the
midblock
crossing
recommendations
that
came
from
both
the
transportation
and
Planning
Commission.
A
There
are
the
modifications
that
are
being
requested
here,
which
are
centered
around
the
increase
in
density,
as
well
as
the
reduction
in
Lo
required
loading
spaces
and
parking
reductions,
and
some
of
the
design
modifications,
most
notably
transparency,
distance
of
entrances,
as
well
as
setbacks.
Here's
Community
benefits
so
basically
I'm
going
to
group
these
in
a
few
different
buckets.
The
first.
The
first
bucket
is
anything
about
the
site,
including
its
architecture,
the
the
new
road,
any
questions
comments,
Mr
dant
thank.
M
You
Mr
chair,
I,
think
I'm
really
one
set
of
questions
and
then
some
some
concluding
thoughts.
The
questions
the
question
I
think
is
for
staff.
I
also
want
to
just
thank
the
applicant
I
know
that
there's
been
some
work
on
circulation
in
tenth
Road.
We
had
some
conversations
there.
M
Really
it's
I,
don't
I
think
may
maybe
Mr
tarar
had
I
just
want
to
confirm
on
Wilson
Boulevard
the
the
how
the
traffic
will
work
in
that
space,
there's
a
few
parking
spaces
and
then
there's
a
what
appears
to
be
a
rather
lengthy
place
where
you
can
drop
off
or
arrive
and
I.
Don't
know
whether
that's
a
slide
that
the
applicant
has
Mr
Tarter
can
show.
But
the
question
is:
could
it's?
M
Basically
we
did
some
analysis
of
traffic
to
make
sure
that
as
you're
dropping
off
you
wouldn't
we
wouldn't
have
double
parking.
We
wouldn't
have
traffic
stuck
in
that
intersection
and
instead
would
have
a
place
where
taxes
and
drop
offs
can
occur
for
some
10
20
30
yards,
where
you
could
pull
to
the
right
get
off
of
the
the
main
traffic
area
am
I.
Understanding
that
right
do
I
have
a
sense
of
the
scale
of
the
number
of
yards
or
the
number
of
cars
that
might
fit.
M
But
if
you
because
I
just
can
imagine
you
would
have
multiple
customers
coming
in
at
one
time,
I'm,
not
sure
which
of
you
is
best
for
that
question.
But
that's
what
I
thought
I
saw
and
I
don't
know.
If
I've
accurately
described
what
I
saw
on
Mr,
Tarter
and
I,
probably
it
would
start
with
staff,
and
if
the
applicant
has
anything
that
you
all
wanted
to
ask
want
to
see.
If
I've
got
the
big
picture
right
on
traffic
and
and
and
and
car
traffic.
AA
There
absolutely
I
think
you
do
have
a
good
description
of
of
what's
occurring,
we'll
maintain
the
four
lanes
of
traffic
on
Wilson
Bullard
and
provide
roughly
I
think
it's
six
to
seven
on
street
parking
spaces
that
can
be
used
for
short-term
pickup
and
drop
off
at
the
hotel
entrance.
As
part
of
the
most
recent
updates
to
the
plan.
That
area
has
been
widened
from
7t
wide
to
8T
wide
to
provide
additional
space
for
hotel
operations.
AA
This
should
provide
a
safe
and
accessible
place
for
hotel
patrons
to
arrive
and
depart.
Additionally,
there
is
proposed
space
and
a
hotel
entrance
on
the
new
10th
Street
connection,
so
there's
multiple
locations
to
support,
arrival
and
departure,
potenti
valet
operations
and
the
safe
movement
of
vehicles
without
obstructing
pedestrian
flow.
M
Great,
that's
very
helpful,
and
just
one
followup
for
the
the
applicant
I'm
not
sure
who's
best.
To
answer
this,
if
I
understand
the
the
changes
for
this
final
iteration,
there's
a
Wilson
Street
entrance
and
there's
an
entrance
off
of
10th
Street,
and
do
you
have
a
sense
of
how
that
how
you
would
anticipate
that
those
coming
to
the
hotel
would
divide
in
terms
of
whether
they
would
go
to
the
10th
Street
side
or
the
Wilson
Street
side?
M
There's
I
think
Wilson
is
a
larger
entrance,
but
I
also,
you
know,
there's
some
space
in
the
drawings
that
I've
seen
that
we
see
regarding
the
the
10
Street
side.
Is
there
any
anticipated
breakdown
in
how
folks
would
enter
or
do
you
have
any
comments
regarding
the
traffic
as
it
relates
to
those
two
entrances.
T
I'm
not
sure
we
really
have
an
idea
how
this
is
going
to
break
down
one.
You
know
one
entrance
for
the
versus
the
other,
but
I
do
think
having
two
entrances
kind
of
takes
the
pressure
off
a
little
bit.
If
there's
too
much,
if
the
you
know,
the
parking
is
stacked
up,
it's
full
you've
got
another
place.
You
can.
You
can
pull
into
so
I
think
the
notion
is
just
to
have
paracity
on
the
site
and
paracity
to
get
into
the
building
great.
AB
Yeah,
the
primary
entrance
is
going
to
be
on
Wilson
Boulevard.
There
isn't
a
breakdown,
but
but,
as
Dave
just
pointed
out,
there's
a
lot
of
paracity
to
the
site,
a
lot
of
entrances
coming
in
and
going
so
there's
going
to
be
choices.
M
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Karen,
tonis,.
O
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
a
couple
of
questions.
You
know
along
the
or
as
a
followup
to
Mr
Defan
question.
So
two
things.
First
of
all,
we
have
heard
from
the
commissions
and
I
to
the
degree
I
followed
the
conversation
at
the
Planning
Commission,
the
pedestrian
crosswalk
from
the
10th
across
Wilson
Boulevard
was
a
desired
feature
and
even
the
the
applicant
I
I
didn't
have
the
the
impression
correct
me
you
you
didn't
object
to
that.
You
actually
were.
O
AA
Absolutely
so
so
Wilson
Boulevard
is
a
four-lane
roadway
and
within
those
circumstances
we
recommend
that
pedestrian
Crossings
be
signalized.
So
this
project,
widening
not
just
the
project
side
of
the
street,
but
also
the
west
side
of
the
street,
will
provide
us
ultimately
an
opportunity
to
significantly
improve
The,
Pedestrian,
feel
and
accommodations
there.
It
will
also
provide
us
long-term
space
to
put
that
needed
signalization,
but
in
part,
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
focus
the
at
opening
of
the
building
pedestrians
to
the
existing
Crossings.
AA
As
the
western
side
of
the
claron
sector
plan
builds
out,
we
do
see
a
need
for
a
potential
connection
through
through
the
the
Kirby
block
and
the
north
side
social
block.
AA
At
that
point,
we
think
it's
the
appropriate
time
to
signalize
and
and
open
that
Crossing,
but
without
without
the
broader
connectivity
Westward
into
and
towards
Fairfax,
we
think
it's
appropriate
to
keep
the
existing
Crossings
at
Wilson
and
10
I'm,
sorry
at
at
claron
Circle
and
then
at
10th,
and
then,
as
the
western
side
continues
to
redevelop
and
there's
a
pedestrian
connection,
that's
created
through
the
existing
private
property.
Then
you
have
the
appropriate
broader
network
connectivity
and
density
of
pedestrians
Crossing
to
support
that
signalization.
AA
But
this
project
commits
to
ensuring
that
there's
the
the
space
within
the
streetscape
design
and
room
for
future
signalization
as
we
go
to
final
engineering
for
this
project.
O
So
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
it
properly,
the
the
space
to
produce
a
crossing
at
the
later
point
will
be
prepared
in
this
project
or
not
or
not
at
all
or.
O
That's
the
intention,
and
how
do
we
ensure
that
we
that
we
I
mean
this
is
part
of
the
the
engineering
and
the
detailed
work
between
the
applicant
staff?
That's
correct,
correct.
A
second
question
has
also
to
do
with
pedestrian
Crossings
in
in
the
sector
plan
that
we
approved
last
year
and
even
in
the
in
the
diagrams
and
and
know
graphic
representations.
O
Here
We
There
is
a
a
a
traffic
Island,
a
traffic
median
right
between
the
entrance
of
the
hotel,
so
the
top
of
the
corner-
and
you
know
where
the
the
Fairfax
Drive
location,
where
the
the
north
side,
social
location
there
is
a
median
drawn
in-
is
that
something
that
is
happening
or
is
it
going
to
happen
at
some.
AA
Time,
I
I
I'm
not
sure
if
I'm
following
it
correctly.
But
what
I
can
say
is
that
the
counties
just
completed
a
very
major
Capital
Improvement
to
the
Clarington
Circle.
That
was
informed
by
in
part
the
Clarendon
sector
plan
and,
and
it
did
not
include
that
median
I
I,
think
you're,
saying
in
Wilson.
AA
Yes,
I
understand:
I,
think
that
I
mean
the
illustrative
drawings
presented
initially
with
the
sector
plan
have
been
superseded
by
by
detailed
engineering
to
deliver
the
improvements
that
claron
Circle.
AA
I
I
I
understand
the
illustrative
nature
of
the
drawings,
but
we
do
not
propose
making
further
changes
to
Clarington
Circle
at
this
time.
O
Okay,
I
will
try
to
follow
up
on.
A
P
Yeah
quick
question
just
following
up
just
making
sure
I
understand,
because
what
I'm
hearing
I
think
is
the
Planning
Commission
and,
and
the
African
actually
saying
the
midock
block
Crossing
would
be
a
good
idea.
We
should
do
it
Planning
Commission,
saying
plan
for
it.
We
should
plan
for
it
and
I
think
what
I
hear
you
saying
is.
We
are
planning
for
it.
We're
just
not
going
to
do
it
right
now.
P
U
Want
it
the
way
it's
being
planned
now,
it'll,
look
like
you
can
cross
there,
but
there'll
be
no
signals
at
all.
People
will
cross
we're
very
concerned
that
traffic
on
Wilson
There
does
move
pretty
fast.
We've
heard
from
some
of
the
public
commenters
that
it's,
it's
really
doesn't
feel
safe.
People
will
cross,
though,
because
as
they
walk
out
the
lobby
of
both
the
hotel
lobbies
of
both
the
hotel
and
the
apartment,
Department
building
they're
going
to
see
North
Side
social
right
there,
so
they're
going
to
want
to
cross
it's
a
popular
place.
U
We
feel
that,
even
if
you
don't
put
a
full
traffic
signal,
maybe
putting
right
now,
the
flashing
lights
for
pedestrian
Crossing
would
be
would
really
Advance
pedestrian
safety
tremendously.
If
we're
looking
at
V
Vision
zero,
this
I
think
is
a
prime
spot
to
prevent
accidents
to
prevent
problems
from
the
start,
where
we
have
a
large
number
of
people,
both
guests
in
the
hotel
which,
if
it's
accessible
there,
a
lot
of
people
are
there,
and
this
is
a
very
big
apartment
building
which
is
going
to
generate
a
lot
of
residents.
U
We
think
that
now
is
the
really
the
time
for
safety
purposes
to
put
something
in
while
we
have
the
opportunity-
and
it
should
be
fairly
easy
to
do-
we
don't
think
there's
a
reason
really
to
wait
to
wait.
The
St
Charles
site,
which
is
on
the
other
side
of
Norths
social
in
the
Kirby
garage,
is
moving
through
that'll,
be
a
large
residential
project.
The
Fairfax
Drive,
the
County's,
already
planning
to
convert
that
into
a
park
a
linear
Park.
U
These
are
all
people
magnets
that
let's
just
go
ahead
and
put
some
sort
of
signal
in
now
and
evaluate
later
whether
it
has
to
be
upgraded
to
a
formal,
Red,
Light,
Green
Light.
P
Thank
you
all
right
so
that
that
means
actually
you
want
to
implement.
We
I'm
fine
going
forward
as
we
are,
but
I
think
encouraging
staff.
It's
going
to
take
a
while
to
get
this
built,
but
I
think
what
you
say
makes
a
whole
lot
of
sense,
so
we'll
see
where
we,
where
we
get,
and
maybe
if
we
don't
build
that
Midlock
Crossing
and
we
don't
want
people
going
to
need
to
put
something
to
make
it
like
don't
go
here
for
a
while.
So
we'll
I
think
keep
that
under
advisement.
P
R
I
want
to
apologize
in
advance,
chair
dorsy,
because
I
know
you
were
trying
to
categorize
it,
but
I
could
not
catch
where
we
were
so
I'm.
G
try
to
stay
within
the
piece
of.
R
R
I
know
that
you
had
choices
and
deeply
appreciate
that
you
chose
that
understanding
the
values
that
our
community
really
seeks
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
as
we
develop
Arlington
and
the
efforts
that
you
made
to
really
bring
in
more
of
the
green,
the
trees
and
foliage
to
the
property
in
a
place
that
is
existing
today
with
really
nothing
there,
and
not
only
are
you
bringing
it
to
the
side,
walk
skap,
but
also
to
the
building
with
your
rooftop
and
your
Terrace,
and
those
are
also
choices
that
you
made
and
just
want
to.
R
Thank
you
for
investing
in
our
community
in
alignment
with
the
values
that
we
seek
as
our
lonians
here.
Just
a
big
thank
you
for
that,
because
developers
have
choices
and
there
are
requirements,
and
then
there
there's
those
who
go
above
those.
So
just
a
big.
Thank
you
on
that
regarding
the
crosswalk
piece
I
would
I
would
want
to
learn
more
about
where
the
entrances
are
going
to
be
and
I
worry
that
the
the
plans
that
we
see
today,
those
types
of
entry,
points
and
exit
points
could
change.
R
As
you
start
to
build,
and
so
I
would
just
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
do
put
a
crosswalk
on
this
strip,
we're
doing
it
at
a
place
that
aligns
with
entry
and
exit
points
of
the
buildings
I'm,
not
against
the
crosswalk
I
think
we
should
definitely
be
thoughtful
of
that,
especially
as
we're
making
it
a
supporting
the
walkable
community
that
it
is
people
be
going
increasing
the
neighborhood
residents
Etc,
but,
for
instance,
if
the
hotel
entry
is
on
the
corner
of
Wilson,
where
the
current
Silver
Diner
is
and
the
building
entrance
is
on
the
corner
of
10th
in
Wilson,
I'm,
not
sure
ifoss
crosswalk
would
be
required.
R
We
would
have
those
lights.
We
would
have
a
good
crosswalk
in
existence.
There's
a
driveway
that
looks
to
be
in
between
people
may
not
want
to
cross
there,
but
if,
as
you're
developing
the
building,
you
find
that
the
entry
really
should
be
moved
over
10
feet
towards
the
middle.
That
makes
sense.
I
just
think
that
making
sure
and
and
I
want
to
apologize
for
my
ignorance
and
not
fully
understanding
the
site
planning
process.
R
Quite
yet,
but
I
support
a
crosswalk
and
I
support
a
cross
being
put
in
after
we
know
what
the
development
looks
like
and
where
our
entry
and
exit
points
will
be
to
ensure
that
we're
putting
it
in
the
best
place
possible
for
walkability
and
safety
for
our
pedestrians.
R
With
that
being
said,
if
we
know
that
during
construction
it'd
be
great
to
implement
that
at
the
time
and
so
again,
apolog
from
my
ignorance,
if
all
this
is
already
in
process
and
I'm,
just
reiterating
what
we're
doing
but
I
just
want
to
clarify
where
I
am
thinking
as
a
board.
Member
and
I
think
that's
really
on
the
architecture
in
the
design
and
the
crossing.
That's
where
I
am
just
again.
R
Etc
green
energy
is
moving
quickly.
So
at
the
time
of
build
there,
opportunities
for
you
to
increase
climate
friendly
production
of
your
building
and
energy
sources
to
your
building.
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
at
those
because
it
would
be
great
to
support
a
better
climate
efforts
for
Arlington
and
in
our
area.
Considering
the
challenges
that
we
face
today.
Thank
you,
Dr
CH,
dorsy
I
want
to
keep
calling
you
Doctor.
You
know
I.
A
Mean
okay,
my
my
only
question
regarding
the
site.
Layout
site
plan
is
really
a
question
for
the
applicant
and
and
your
transportation
folks
and
Mr
Gibson
I'd
love.
If
you
would
opine
as
well
when
you
do
an
mmta
these
days
and
you're
determining
what
are
the
you
know,
future
future
possibilities
and
how
it'll
affect
levels
of
service.
Are
there
any
changes
that
you're
implementing
in
in
the
analysis
that
are
based
on
you
know
different
different
norms
for
working
from
home?
T
AC
Question
yeah
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
Thank
you.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
and
what
we
do
do
is
when
we
we
go
through
the
scope,
scoping
process
for
the
mmta.
We
work
with
staff
to
really
try
to
drill
down
on
what
we
think
those
modal
splits
are
going
to
be
and
I
think
that
that
is
something
that
we
have
seen
quite
a
bit
of
change
in
with
the
pandemic
and
post-pandemic.
AC
But
what
what
a
lot
of
what
has
happened
is
really
what
we've
had
people
switch
from
transit
usage
to
teleworking.
So
it's
really
from
an
auto
to
non-auto
standpoint.
We're
still.
Q
AC
Similar
Auto
trips,
but
what's
happened,
is
is
that
those
Transit
users
are
now
teleworking,
but
that's
something
that
we
go
through
very
carefully
and
I.
Think
that
when
we
each
study,
we
we
look
at
that
and
we
try
to
look
at
what
the
latest
data
is
telling
us
and
we'll
determine
what
those
mode
splits
want
to
be
and
and
work
with
staff
to
to
pin
those
down
before
we
use
them
in
the
mmta.
A
I
appreciate
that
and
your
analysis
confirms
what
I've
heard
elsewhere,
that
unfortunately
t
work
seems
to
be
cannibalizing,
Transit
and
not
Auto
usage.
So
that's
something
just
for
our
entire
region
to
wrap
our
our
heads
around
was
was
going
to
move
into
the
modifications.
But
if
there's
anything
else
about
the
site
plan
go
ahead.
Mr
karonis.
O
O
Yeah,
so
I
have
a
little
I
mean
I,
as
I
was
seeing
the
renderings,
especially
on
the
corner,
between
between.
What's
that
Wilson
and
and
so
right,
right
at
the
corner
to
the
to
the
claron
circle,
there
is
sometimes
we
see
trees
on
that
corner.
Sometimes
we
don't.
What
is
it
it's
right
after
right,
after
the
parking
Bay
in
front
of
the
entrance
of
the
hotel.
T
So
we've
got
a
landscape
consultant
on
here,
I,
don't
know
whether
Lynn
or
Gabrielle
you'd
like
to
address
that
I
can
also
put
up.
My
images
are
colored
and
rendered
and
they
may
have
better
they
better.
They
may
show
better
than
yours,
Courtney,
but
Lynn
or
Gabrielle.
Would
you
like
to
address
that.
AD
Yes,
this
is
Lyn
hobi
from
L
design.
Thank
you
David.
So
these
plans
actually
show
the
the
latest
technical
drawings
that
show
exactly
how
many
trees
that
we'd
need
with
the
right
so
calculations
and
so
that
the
the
trees
that
we'd
have
would
be
the
those
two
big.
O
Trees,
don't
you
don't
you
find,
so
there
won't
be
any
so
here.
Don't
you
find
that
this,
this
treeless
distance,
so,
first
of
all
in
other
renderings,
we
see
trees.
Just
next
to
these
part.
To
this
you
know
unload
base,
you
know
pickup
and
a
drop
off
base,
but
don't
you
find
this
that's
a
very
large
long
distance
without
any
tree.
O
S
So
I
can
speak
to
that
from
a
staff
perspective.
What
we
looked
at
so
backing
up
a
little
bit.
We
had
some
goals
of
the
sector
plan
that
were
important
for
us
to
meet.
One
of
them
was
delivering
a
commercial
location
which
the
hotel
is
doing,
and
so
it
was
a
priority
to
ensure
that
we
were
supporting
that
a
second
one
was
to
ensure
that
the
loading
functions
were
all
internal
to
the
block
to
maintain
The
Pedestrian
connection,
particularly
on
Irving.
S
So
we
went
through
this
long
process
with
the
applicant
to
look
at
reorienting
the
loading
functions
and
we're
able
to
put
it
internal
to
the
block
on
10th
Road
North.
In
doing
that,
we
also
reoriented
the
hotel
lobby
to
have
the
main
entrance
on
Wilson
Boulevard
m,
as
we
were
going
through
having
the
reorientation
of
the
main
lobby
on
Wilson,
the
the
applicant
expressed
a
desire
to
have
the
pickup
drop
off
loading
spaces
on
wison
right
outside
the
entry
point
of
the
lobby,
which
we
understood
from
our
perspective.
S
We
also
looked
at
how
to
achieve
the
streetcape
goals
of
the
sector
plan
and
so
I'm
going
to
take
back.
My
screen
really
quick
to
look
at
the
plan
view
of
that,
so
we
looked
at,
as
you
see
here,
kind
of
pairing
up
the
trees
to
try
to
maximize
the
tree
canopy
together.
So
we
have
two
kind
of
tree
pairs
on
either
end
of
those
parking
spaces.
We
also
looked
at
reducing
the
sidewalk
width
along
that
stretch
of
the
hotel.
S
There
were
some
challenge
with
challenges
with
that
because
of
some
utility
placements,
and
also
because
we
were
running
a
foul
with
reducing
the
clear
with
goals
of
the
sector
plan
and
so,
and
we
were
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
visibility
of
the
hotel
lobby
was
wasn't
compromised
and
so
kind
of
all
those
factors.
This
is
where
we
ended
up
and
we
feel
that
it's
an
appropriate
relationship
of
the
building
to
the
street.
O
Thank
you
not
not
not
a
deal
breaker,
but
I
really
think
that
we
have
ways
to
combine
a
good
presentation
of
the
of
the
lobby
with
three
especially
I've,
seen
in
many
places
now
the
the
tree
Wells
are
covered
with
with
grates
that
are
of
the
type
that
you
know,
invite
to
walk
on
them.
I
mean
they're,
absolutely
you
know
friendly
to
that
they're,
not
a
barrier
anymore
and
the
and
the
tree
growth
itself
creates
such
a.
O
You
know:
jxa
nice,
good
jar
position
of
the
glass,
and
you
know
you
know
in
designed,
interior
of
the
hotel
and
more
natural
presentation.
This
entire
circle
is
not
very
canopy
friendly
right,
so
we
we
I
I,
just
encourage
you
to
to
look
at
this
with
with
you
know,
more,
open-minded
and
and
try
to
maybe
improve
on
this.
Nothing
else.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
modifications,
I'll
start
us
off
Miss
Badger.
Can
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
why?
We
believe
that
the
the
loading
plan
for
for
three
spaces
overall
is
sufficient.
I
I
understand
that
for
the
residential
and
retail
uses
you
know
there
is
this.
A
This
belief
that
you
know
two
spaces
should
be
adequate
for
that,
because
those
loading
functions
typically
happen
at
different
different
times,
but
as
it
relates
to
the
hotel
use
having
one
loading
loading
function,
that
seems
intuitively
to
me
is
as
to
be
insufficient,
and
so
can
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
why
we
believe
that
three,
instead
of
five,
as
would
be
otherwise
required,
is
going
to
be
sufficient
for
this.
AA
Project
so
looking
at
the
the
uses
we've,
this
has
been
a
very
hard
balance
between
the
space
that
loading
takes
up
along
our
frontages
and
the
uses
in
the
buildings.
We
think
that
this
is
the
appropriate
balance
in
this
project.
AA
We
also
recognize
that
the
project
is
delivering
two
new
internal
streets
that
will
help
support
those
loading
docks
and
if
there
is
any
overflow
of
loading
operations,
those
those
overflows
will
occur
on
either
the
private
alley
in
the
rear
of
between
the
two
buildings
or
on
10th
road,
which
would
have
you
know
the
the
lowest
impact
on
the
overall
flow
of
of
traffic
in
the
area
and
and
pedestrian
impacts.
So
we
think
this
strikes
the
right
balance
in
this
case.
A
And
as
we're
determining
that,
is
there
a
any
sort
of
analysis
that
we
use
for
different
functions?
So
did
we
evaluate
the
needs
of
a
hotel,
specifically
in
determining
the
the
adequacy.
AA
Here
so
we
we
have
a
lot
of
experience
with
this
in
the
county.
There
is
not
a
a
spreadsheet
that
we
we
fill
out
per
se,
but
we
do
have
a
consideration
of
all
the
different
uses,
whether
it
be
trash
or
loading,
the
the
good
thing
about
a
hotel
use
at
this
corner
versus
a
commercial
building
or
a
Residential
Building.
You
don't
have
the
movein
and
outs
that
you
would
have
in
a
full
residential
building
that
that
might
need
an
extra
space.
AA
A
I
appreciate
it,
but
we
don't
have
a
specific
metric
that
looks
at
you
know.
For
example,
hotels,
have
linen
service
trash
service,
food
delivery
service.
If
they're
different
shops
within
the
hotel
they
have
their
different
service
needs.
We
don't
we
don't
have
a
different
framework
for
assessing
them
versus,
for
example,
a
retail
store.
AA
We
do
have
more
of
a
a
professional
sort
of
judgment,
type
analysis.
We
do
take
all
of
that
into
consideration
and
we
also
take
into
consideration
the
the
the
surrounding
Network
and
and
spaces.
So
if
this,
if
this
use,
for
instance,
didn't
have
those
extra
internalized
streets
and
only
had
loading
operations
on
Wilson
Boulevard,
for
instance,
our
analysis
for
recommending
fewer
Bays
may
actually
be
different.
M
A
M
Just
you
got
the
floor
sure
so
thank
you,
Mr
chair.
So
this
question
just
occurred
to
me
as
a
second,
which
is
this
I
believe
it's
the
apartments
have
a
green
roof.
I
wonder
if
there's
a
member
of
the
team
who
could
speak
to
whether
you
considered
solar
panels
in
that
space
as
opposed
to
the
roof
so.
AB
I'm
gon,
oh
sorry,
who's
talking
go
ahead,
go
ahead,
Chris!
So,
yes,
we
we're
considering
photo
Texs
on
it
and
fortunately,
right
now
there
are.
There
is
now
a
capability
of
doubling
it.
So
you
can,
you
can
actually
have
green
roof
underneath
photovoltaics.
There
are
certain
types
of
plants
that
function
that
way
and
we're
exploring
that.
M
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
That
certainly
would
reach
a
couple
of
board
members
if
we
could
do
both
and
I'm
mindful
of
The
Upfront
cost,
but
also
the
the
medium
to
long-term
benefit.
So
that's
U,
certainly
of
Interest
as
I
think
about
the
environmental
piece
to
this.
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair.
A
Of
course
like
to
bring
up
density
for
a
minute,
you
know
Mr
Schwarz
I
appreciate
your
comments
earlier
about.
You
know
not
to
be
reductionist
but
reductive,
but
to
to
max
out
this
site
and
just
to
explore
that
a
little
bit
Miss
Badger
for
you.
A
So
it's
it's,
my
working
understanding
that
you
know
what
we
have
here
governing
is
board
flexibility,
to
add
density,
but
up
to
a
statutory
height
limit
of
110
feet
and
when
you
combine
that
with
the
sector
plan
goals
for,
for
you
know,
step
backs
which
were
already
seeking
modifications
to
relieve
those
in
some
instances
we're
we're
kind
of
maxing
out.
The
den
envelope
here
is
that
is
that
a
fair
approach.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Any
other
questions
about
modifications
or
design
anybody
concerned
about
step
backs
or
the
requested
reductions
for
distance
from
building
entrances.
You're
good
excellent
can
talk
about
Community
benefits.
Any
questions
concerns
comments
about.
A
P
Yeah
great,
thank
you
I
guess.
I
have
the
floor
sounds
like
thank
you,
and
actually
it's
just
really
following
up
where
we
left
off.
I
was
really
pleased
to
hear
you
say
that
you're
looking
at
solar
over
the
green
roofs,
because
I
think
that
is
the
actually
having
a
solar
panel
over
a
green
roof,
apparently
increases
the
efficiency
of
the
solar
panel
by
something
like
15
or
20%,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
you
can
do
that,
plus
it
Shades
everybody.
It's
good
thing.
P
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
Miss
McIntyre
is,
of
course
always
talking
to
us
about
having
all
electric
buildings
and
I
believe
you
have
you're
considering
different
alternatives,
for
you
know
what
you're
doing
inside,
whether
it's
going
to
be
gas
or
whether
you
might
go
all
electric
or
what
you're
going
to
do.
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
your
thought
process
and
when
you
might
decide,
and
could
you
lean.
AB
Electric
I
think
it's:
it
goes
down
to
the
marketability
and
what?
What
is
your
competition
in
the
area
for
the
hotel
itself,
the
food
and
beverage
operations
they're?
Typically,
most
of
the
equipment
is
gas
and
that's
just
the
way
it
it.
AB
It
is
today
in
terms
of
the
residential
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
some
options,
whether
it's
gas
or
all
electric,
some
of
the
Central
Building
Systems,
still
work
very
efficiently
on
gas,
unfortunately,
and
from
an
energy
conservation
standpoint,
they
tend
to
work
very
well,
but
we
haven't
gotten
to
the
details
on
that
right
now
and
we're
looking
at
those
so
we're
going
to
explore
as
much
as
we
can
I
think
from
my
it's
in
most
residential
today.
AB
It's
like
a
5050
split,
but
in
in
terms
of
market
rate,
that
is,
between
Gas
and
Electric,
for
the
convenience
of
cooking
in
the
in
the
units
themselves.
But
the
tendency
is
going
towards
all
electric
you
know,
so
we
we'll
be
looking
at
that.
P
AB
Sense
in
recent
studies,
too,
about
the
induction
heating
versus
gas
heating
that
the
fallacy
between
the
two
of
those
that
the
induction
method
is
just
as
effective
as
gas,
and
so
people
are
starting
to
come
around
to
that.
P
Right
well,
thank
you.
I
hope
you
continue
to
sort
of
push
push
the
envelope
and
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
the
green
roofs
and
see.
What's
there
I
think
more
green
Mr
caronis
has
talked
about
more
trees,
few
plants
on
balconies
and
things
would
be
good,
but
I
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
what
you
are
doing.
Thank
you
thanks
for
telling
me
your
thought,
processes.
O
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
in,
in
the
vein
of
the
same
conversation,
I
I
appreciate
your
openness
to
translucent
photovoltaic
arrays
so
that
you
have
a
more
viable,
also
better
service,
all
green
roof.
The
and
I
appreciate
that
you
recognize
that
induction
technology
is
a
very
efficient
and
an
equally
convenient
way
to
to
deliver
in
a
residential
setting.
I
do
believe
that
so
the
the
question
here
is:
do
we
are
you
accounting
for
a?
O
Are
you
accounting
for
a
future
full
electrification
of
both
buildings
in
both
operations,
including
the
commercial
kitchen,
because
I
believe
that
commercial
induction
actually
induction
started
in
the
commercial
world?
It
was
expensive
for
for
for
individuals
so
to
we
account
for
being
able
to
retrofit
the
building
relatively.
AB
Easily
we
haven't,
we
haven't
gotten
to
that
level
of
specific
design,
but
it
could
be
a
consideration
to
to
look
into
that
at
this
point.
It's
you
know
for
the
commercial
kitchen
portions
of
it-
and
this
goes
to
you-
know,
potential
FNB
or
food
and
beverage
retailers.
AB
We
can't
really
restrict
that
we're
going
to
have
to
provide
the
option
of
of
doing
both
in
those
cases
in
terms
of
the
hotel,
I
I,
don't
know
enough
about
the
hotel
operator
and
whether
they're
going
to
be
able
to
convert
that,
but
we're
not
we're
not
planning
for
it.
At
this
point,
no.
O
It
will
be
an
awesome
advertisement
for
for
a
green
City
hotel,
because
you
are
offering
something:
that's
very
rare,
a
you,
you,
you
offer
transparency,
people
will
be
able
to
see
in
the
kitchen,
and
you
know
it
says
something
when
you
don't
see
the
typical
greasy.
You
know
Hot
Gas
stoves,
but
you
see
something
that
is
Sleek
and
elegant
and
actually
allows
for
for
great
food
to
be
prepared
there.
O
It's
actually
in
front
of
everybody,
and
actually
this
is
something
you
can
it's
an
awesome
feature
that
that
would
help
a
lot
with
the
image
of
of
the
hotel
as
well,
not
only
with
its
Energy
Efficiency.
Thank
you.
A
O
O
And
it's
going
to
be
a
long
one
because
it
has
two
parts
so
I'm
pleased
to
move
to
approve
the

report
on

item
and
subject
to
approval
of
all

as
to

by
the
County
Attorney.
N
Follow
sorry,
one
question
I
believe
for
staff.
It
looks
like
there
is
a
discrepancy
between
the
square
footage
in
the
board
report
and
the
recommendation
in
on
the
website,
and
so
I
wanted
to
see
what
would
be
the
correct
one.
So
we
can
adopt
in
the
motion
I
believe
what
Mr
caronis
read
was.
N
Numbers
the
board
report.
N
N
24,1
32
square
ft
of
residential
website
says
097
097
same
with
Hotel
board
report,
says
168
website
says
564
so
I
just
it
sounds
like
we're
going
with
what
is
in
the
board
report.
All
right
so
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
motion
properly
incorporates
that.
N
A
O
I
will
try
to
be
brief,
that
that
was
an
exciting
study
for
me
in
this
project
and
and
before
I
talk
about
the
project.
Let
me
just
well
briefly
on
the
urban
context
of
the
proposed
development.
O
This
intersection
of
Wilson
Claren
Washington
boulevards,
it's
one
of
the
most
challenging
intersections
in
our
County
right
at
the
fault
line
between
a
very
Lively
pedestrian,
cyclist
frequented
space
and
and
what
is,
in
my
opinion,
a
vast
expanse
of
of
asphalted
mix
of
three
major
arterials
that
that
are
reserved
right
now
only
to
car
traffic.
O
So
I'm
pointing
this
out,
because
such
great
development
projects,
like
Bingham
here,
like
like
Joy
Motors,
like
the
future
Wells
Fargo
side
like
the
red
talk
like
the
St
Charles
site
that
Mr
Lela
mentioned,
and
they
already
completed
building
a
Clos
crer
Circle
these
these.
All.
This
invites
to
some
continuous
thinking
about
this
intersection
and
its
traffic
par
relationships
to
the
very
different
level
of
urbanism
that
binkham
actually
delivered.
And
speaking
of
this
with
this
development
and
Mr
Schulz
was
really
kind
to
share
the
story
of
his
friend
and
past
resident.
O
Mr
Bingham
I'm
very
grateful.
For
this
background
information,
contextual
information-
so
the
urbanis
of
that
that
makes
the
the
urban
of
Clarendon
finally
arriving
to
the
Western
corner
of
the
sector
and
has
all
the
potential
to
be
as
successful
popular
and
frankly
exciting,
as
they
immediately
atent
sectors
along
claron
and
Wilson
to
the
metro
station
and
Beyond
I
can't
overstate
and
I
align
myself
with
the
comments
of
Miss
tento.
How
welcome
of
an
investment?
O
This
is
to
see
a
hotel
anchoring
this
intersection,
an
anchoring,
means
and
includes
the
function
of
the
of
of
this
project.
Being
to
me,
a
Nexus
between
the
claron
plaza
and
the
expanding
George
Mason
campus
and
the
new
Fusion
building
the
FDIC
complex.
This
is
the
context.
I
see
the
proposal
of
adding
additional
pedestrian
facilities,
including
a
cross,
walk
and
I
and
I
look
forward
to
to
further
pursue
that.
By
approving
this
proposal,
we
are
delivering
a
significant
piece
of
the
missing
connection
between
Clarendon,
West
and
Virginia.
O
Square
I
can't
wait
to
see
the
final
piece
of
the
Fairfax
Drive
ler
Park.
You
know
delivering
this
handshake
between
these
two
sectors.
What
we
have
want
to
what
I
propose
to
approve
today
is
as
much
as
much
as
completely
clar
as
it's
revitalizing
in
terms
of
Economic
and
Urban
Development,
the
Eastern
section
of
Virginia
square
and
I
think
this
is
exciting.
Speaking
of
further
good
things,
I
think
colleagues
will
dwell
on
these
as
well.
It
completes
the
Triangular
block,
I.
O
Think
Mr
Tarter
has
a
point
in
saying
that
triangular
B
is
a
challenge,
but
I
think
it's
also
a
great
opportunity
to
create
a
a
significant
Landmark
corner.
There
I
think
that
I'm,
not
an
architect
but
I
appeal
to
Architects,
to
think
about
this
corner,
make
it
a
little
bit
more
exciting
I
think
it
deserves
it.
Both
both
Clarendon
Circle
and
the
project
deserves
it.
It
delivers
onite,
affordable
housing
units.
It
delivers
a
lot
of
other
benefits
that
are
badly
needed
in
this
sector.
O
In
particular,
it
delivers
a
park
in
public
space
and
at
the
head
of
Irving,
inviting
the
the
community
to
engage
and
I
know.
O
This
community
will
be
an
active
participant
in
this
process
in
its
to
engage
in
its
design
and
I
expect
a
lot
of
good
things
to
to
come
from
this
process
and
it
delivers
an
intriguing
combination
and
that's
for
me,
an
very
important
feature:
inrig
combination
of
an
Alle
behind
a
residential
building
and
the
10th
and
the
10th
road,
with
I,
with
I,
which
I
consider
excellent
additions
to
The,
Pedestrian
experience
and
and
opening
opportunities
to
deliver
this
secluded
La
Field.
That
is
known
to
be
very
popular
and
very
successful.
O
Therefore,
I
invite
you,
as
the
applicants
and
our
staff,
to
be
very
intentional
in
delivering
this
distinct
pedestrian
feel
to
these
to
the
spaces
and
the
texture
that,
by
choosing
the
appropriate
Pavements,
the
lighting,
the
landscaping
and
and
both
on
both
Al
and
the
road
we
talked
about.
The
other
public
benefits
the
shared
parking,
which
is
as
Common
Sense
as
it
is
actually
very
Innovative.
O
Thank
you
for
this,
and
last
but
not
least,
Mr
Schulz
I,
really
convinced
that
The
Greener
building
is
feasible
and
your
entire
team
I
I
invite
you
to
to
work
at
appeal.
You
to
work
to
push
this
envelope,
especially
at
this.
At
this
corner.
There
Green
City
hotel
as
I
said
before,
is
a
great
advertisement
and
a
great
presentation
of
this
part
of
Arlington
and
and
especially
close
so
close
to
University.
This
will
be
a
a
a
a
very
big
success,
so
I
hope.
O
Colleagues,
you
agree
that
this
is
a
good
project
worthy
of
the
support
and
approval
of
the
board
and
I
leave
this
there
and
I
hope.
A
You
will
be
support,
we'll
move
to
Mr
defanti
next.
M
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
I,
think
Mr
tento
said
very
well
the
deeper
appreciation
that
I
want
to
share
as
well
on
the
on-site
affordable
units.
That
is
a
a
there's,
a
a
choice
there
and
really
appreciate
the
choice
that
you
made
very
much
on
the
on
the
roof.
M
M
Is
that
solar
on
the
roof
actually
feels
more
familiar
to
me,
at
least
at
this
stage
that
it
pencils
out
so
I
would
sort
of
Channel
Mr
karis's
encouragement
to
perhaps
start
there,
because
I
do
think
that
there's
a
fairly
strong
case,
the
c2e2
and
Miss
McIntyre's
letter
I
read
carefully
I've
been
on
a
journey,
as
you
know,
of
of
learning
more
about
electric
buildings.
M
M
As
of
July
1st,
you
submitted
well
before
July
1st,
but
as
of
July
1st,
would
bump
up
from
20
to
25%
and
I'll
share
in
an
email
with
colleagues
and
staff.
That
I
wanted
to
say
it
out
loud,
because
it
will
impact
My
Views
with
respect
to
projects
that
are
submitted
after
July
1st
and
then
because
we
had
an
automatic
update
in
our
Green
Building
incentive
policy
three
years
ago
that
we
put
in
there.
M
And
then
we
will
have
I
hope,
significant
discussion
about
the
other
pieces
of
our
Green
Building
incentive
policy.
The
electric
vehicles
I
hear
wanting
to
get
to
50%
I,
certainly
feel
like
our
standard
right
now
is
lower
than
we
need
to
be
going
forward
and
so
I'm
eager
for
that
full
rewrite
and
then
on.
Electric
buildings
I
commit
to
continuing
the
the
work.
But
that
is,
policy
related
I
think
it's
important
to
focus
on
one
of
the
two
defining
challenges
of
our
time
in
climate,
in
addition
to
equity
and
affordability.
M
And
that
brings
me
to
my
last
point,
which
is
it
which
Mr
Schwarz
and
Mr
Berwick
touched
on
for
your
Generation.
Now
that
I've
just
turned
50
earlier
this
week,
I
can't
claim
to
be
in
your
generation,
but
for
all
generations
a
affordability
is
a
huge
Challenge
and
if
we
do
not
add
housing,
Supply
the
American
dream
in
terms
of
long-term
rental
or
eventual
ownership
will
be
less
and
less
attainable
and
interim
rents,
which
were
all
of
my
20s
and
30s,
will
be
less
and
less
affordable.
A
You
I'll
just
say
in
closing
a
couple
of
you're
good,
okay,
I'll,
say
a
couple
things
in.
A
It's
a
that's
a
that's
a
burden
that
I
should
not
always
carry
so
you
know
this
is
what
I'd
like
to
call
a
clean
sight
sight
clean
sight
plan
at
the
end
of
the
day,
you've
got
staff
which
offers
basically
an
unqualified
recommendation
to
support,
and
the
issues
that
have
been
outlined
by
our
advisory
commissions
are
are
fairly
narrow
and
not
necessarily
ones
that
cannot
be
fulfilled
depending
upon
the
realization
of
future
conditions,
as
is
the
case
with
the
the
midblock
crossing
and
to
have
none
of
the
adjacent
abing
Civic
associations
having
submitted
a
letter
or
showing
up
to
talk
about.
A
It
is
just
incredible.
I
think
we've
had
a
couple
of
these
this
year,
which
is
pretty
remarkable,
given
one
the
centrality
of
the
site
and
really
the
dynamic
uses
that
are
envisioned
with
both
retail
and
residential
in
one
building
and
then
a
hotel
use
that
doesn't
exist
in
the
area.
So
congratulations
on
having
kind
of
a
a
clean
sight
Plan
before
us
and
I
think
Mr
tarar.
You
know
the
community
benefits
are,
are
a
significant
feature.
A
I
think
of
what's
what
does
have
people
excited
the
on-site,
calfs
and
and
the
15
that
will
be
delivered
to
2/3
of
which
will
be?
You
know
two
bedrooms,
two
bedroom
units.
It's
a
great
thing,
also
remind
people
that
the
base,
affordable,
housing
contribution
is
also
a
part
of
this
which
is
going
to
be
delivered
in
in
the
form
of
a
significant
amount
of
cash
or
at
the
applicant's
prerogative
could
also
be
delivered
in
terms
of
onsite
units.
A
So
these
are
very,
very
good
things
for
the
Clarendon
Community,
which
is
devoid
of
housing
that
has
been
available
at
price
points
that
meet
the
diverse
needs
of
our
community.
I
love
the
streetcape
improvements
that
are
coming
in
this
area.
A
As
someone
who
used
to
occupy
an
office
that
will
be
redeveloped
as
part
of
this
I'm
very
familiar
with
this
area
very
familiar
with
Mr
lantel,
we
don't
tell
anyone
Crossing
to
get
to
North,
Side
social,
so
I
do
know
a
bit
about
what
you're
talking
about,
but
the
these
improvements
are
not
only
going
to
be
welcome.
Aesthetically
I
think
it's
also
going
to
make
for
a
much
safer
experience
for
pedestrians.
A
For
people
who
are
waiting
for
the
bus,
Which
picks
up
by
the
you
know,
which
picks
up
across
the
street
where
people
have
very
narrow
conditions
to
to
exist
in
this
is
this
is
great
stuff
and
just
overall,
the
sector
plan
goals
that
we
affirmed
and
updated
with
last
year's
process
to
improve
the
public
realm
to
create
accessible
and
connected
conditions
and
also
to
have
Dynamic
mix
of
uses.
P
Thank
you
almost
everything's
been
said,
but
not
quite
actually
so.
Mr
Schultz
you
and
I
go
way
back.
It's
been
a
while
and
in
some
ways
it
looks
beautiful.
It's
a
clean
sight
plan,
everybody's,
improving,
everything's,
wonderful,
but
Mo.
Many
people
don't
have
an
idea
of
how
what
it
took
to
get
to
this
point
and
I
know
it
was
a
lot
of
work
and
not
all
of
of
it,
not
all
of
it
fun.
Not
all
of
it.
P
Easy
I
really
really
appreciate
the
work
that
you
did
with
our
staff
and
with
everyone
I
think
in
the
end,
it's
not
quite
exactly
what
you
had
envisioned
and
it
is
a
cool
Vision
that
you've
got
really
pleased
that
you're
bringing
it
to
Arlington
but
I.
Think
it's
it's
going
to
really
work
for
everybody,
and
really
thank
really
have
to
thank
you.
A
lot
for
the
work
that
you
went
through
and
with
our
staff
for
I
know
going
back
and
forth
quite
a
bit
cuz.
P
It
wasn't
easy,
I
think
those
transparent
windows,
I
think
those
are
going
to
be
cool
and
the
plaza
is
going
to
be
great
and
I.
Just
as
I
say,
the
work
that
went
that
went
into
this
is
just
is
really
kind
of
remarkable
and
I
think
we
are
getting
more
and
more
that
we
have
site
plans.
I,
think
people
are
kind
of
figuring
it
out.
Thank
you
for
the
work
on
green.
P
All
of
the
the
green
I
hope
we
do
get
a
little
bit
further
along,
but
you've
really
taken
it
a
long
way.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
kind
of
vision
of
a
really
upscale
hotel
to
this
part
of
Arlington,
which
needs
it
and
I
found.
Looking
at
the
pictures
reminded
I,
don't
know
about
other
people,
but
I
kind
of
get
a
kick
out
of
sometimes
watching
these
decorating
things
they
have
the
before
pictures
and
the
after
pictures.
P
You
know-
and
this
one
I
mean
those
before
the
street
skates
we've
got
there
right
now,
I
mean
it's
just
nobody.
Quite
so,
it's
down
right
ugly
I
mean
it's
just
horrible,
and
this
is
a
huge,
huge
Improvement
when
it
gets
built.
So
thank
you
and
thanks
to
the
Planning,
Commission
and
we'll
see
about
that
mid,
mid,
mid
cross,
mid
Street
crossing.
We
don't
want
to
take
out
any
of
our
County
board
members
or
anybody
Crossing
that
street,
so
we'll
continue
to
work
on
that
as
well.
P
So
just
thank
you
very
much
really
appreciate
it.
Finally,
last
note
mayor
Tarter,
I
I
know
you
wear
a
couple
of
heads
and
a
hats,
not
heads
one
head,
two
hats
and
you're.
Also
mayor
of
false
church
and
I.
Think
today
is
the
100th
anniversary
are
having
a
celebration
for
the
100th
anniversary
so

Arlington,

FS
Church
City,

much
and

better

lot.
A
Thank
you
all
right
with
that.
We're
now
ready
to
move
to
a
vote
on
Mr
Karen
tones'
motion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
I
I
any
opposed
eyes.
Have
it
5?
Congratulations!
Thank
you
all
and
hope
you
have
a
great
day
and
get
home
and
steal
yourself
for
bad
weather,
Mr
Schultz.
Just
so
you.
AE
Know
that
I
do
have
the
ability
to
speak
here.
I've
been
pretty
quiet
today,
but
I
do
want
to.
First
of
all,
thank
all
of
you
County
board
members.
It's
been
a
it's
been
a
long,
hard
grind
on
this
one
here
and
appreciate
all
the
time
you
spent
you
know,
making
yourselves
available
for
various
meetings
and
informal,
as
well
as
formal,
great
and
the
staff,
what
a
job
where'
the
staff
go.
They're
already
gone,
but
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
everything
that
they've
done.
AE
It's
been
a
always
a
difficult
challenge,
but
good
outcome.
We
all
know
that
what
makes
Arlington
so
special
are
the
citizens
and
the
citizens
Association,
so
I
want
I
want
to
particularly
thank
them.
Clarin
and
Courthouse
lion
Park
lion,
Village,
Ashton,
Heights,
Bon,
Virginia,
Square,
we've
had
so
many
meetings
and
these
projects.
This
is
true
of
every
project.
I've
ever
done.
These
projects
are
always
better
because
of
that
collaboration
we
don't
always
agree,
but
for
some
reason
it
always
comes
out
a
better
project.
AE
I
want
to
thank
my
team.
I
won't
mention
them
all,
but
they
know
who
they
are.
Some
of
the
key
people
are
here
and
my
partners,
the
Dono
Partners,
but
finally,
I
want
to
thank
thank
Bing,
MF
burner
Bing
burner
who
this
project
is
named
after
this
project.
He
trusted
in
me
33
years
ago,
and
he
is
a
the
epitome
of
what
clarendon's
all
about
sophisticated,
educated,
creative
and
funky.
If
you
didn't
get
the
chance
to
meet
Bing
burner,
you'll
learn
more
about
him
through
this
project.
B
Q
We
do
Mr
chair
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
Emma
Martin
in
a
second,
but
I
did
want
to
note
for
everybody
out
there
listening.
This
is
an
item
that
talks
a
little
bit
about
giving
Property
Owners
access
to
some
of
the
changes
in
the
zoning
ordinance
that
have
been
made
subsequent
to
earlier
adoptions
of
site
plans
and
we'll
be
talking
a
little
bit
more
about
that
next
month.
So
with
that,
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
Emma
overd.
A
AF
AF
AF
Delay
good
morning,
I'm
Emma
Martin,
with
Arlington
County
cphd
I'll,
be
presenting
the
Crystal
Park
Rooftop
signage,
condition,
minor
site
plan
Amendment
today
site
plan
number
167
known
as
Crystal
Park,
was
approved
by
the
County
Board
in
1980
and
has
been
amended
several
times.
Currently,
the
site
plan
consists
of
five
office
building
buildings
for
residential
buildings,
along
with
several
retail
kiosks
and
Pavilions
that
are
under
construction.
All
of
the
office
buildings
have
have
or
have
had,
rooftop
signs
installed,
depicting
the
names
of
tenants
which
have
evolved
over
the
life
of
the
buildings.
AF
Several
of
the
office
buildings
are
subject
to
separate
County,
Board
approvals
for
individual
rooftop
signs
and
there's
a
comprehensive
sign
plan
that
impacts
multiple
site
plans
in
Crystal
City,
including
the
subject
site
plan
number
167.
The
applicants
are
requesting
a
site
plan
amendment
to
remove
two
conditions:
relateded
to
Rooftop
signage
for
the
Crystal
Park
1
and
Crystal
Park
3
Office
Buildings.
With
this
request,
the
subject-
buildings,
Crystal
Park
one
and
three
have
conditions
specific
to
Rooftop
signs
which
are
shown
on
the
slide.
AF
Three,
a
zoning
ordinance
amendment
was
approved
in
July
2012,
as
our
manager
just
stated,
which
revised
the
sign
regulations.
Some
highlights
of
the
amendments
were
that
they
added
a
new
format
and
for
organization
of
the
regulations
they
refined
regulations
to
incorporate
additional
flexibility,
facilitated
creativity
and
Innovation,
as
well
as
the
ability
to
allow
administrative
approval
for
most
signs.
AF
It
also
codified,
consistent
administrative
practices
not
reflected
in
the
ordinance
and
Incorporated
some
new
standards
and
technology
that
were
not
previously
Incorporated
in
the
ordinance.
The
revisions
address
a
range
of
sign
types
and
standards,
Crystal,
Park,
1
and
3
are
located
along
sign.

Beond
the
zoning
ordinance
Article
13
map,
34-1
known
as
the
sign
map
cites
specific
sections
of
the
zoning
ordinance
that
cover
placements
of
sign,
Ed
above
40
ft,
sign,
sign,
illumination
standards
and
hours
of
Illumination.
AF
There
are
no
signs
proposed
with
the
site
plan
Amendment,
but
any
signs
requested
in
the
future
would
have
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
current
version
of
the
ordinance,
as
well
as
the
requirements
of
the
sign
map
staff,
contacted
the
national
Landing
bid.
Who
was
in
support
of
this
amendment
and
provided
a
a
letter
of
support
recently?
AF
A
few
days
ago,
staff
also
contacted
the
Crystal
City
civic
association,
who
resp
responded
with
a
letter
that
they
were
not
in
favor
of
the
amend
Amendment,
citing
concerns
that
the
applicant
May
construct
more
signage
than
is
currently
allowed,
as
well
as
stated
during
the
site
plan
review
process
that
the
community
had
argued
for
more
than
average
limits
on
signs
and
had
accepted
Less
in
the
way
of
community
benefits
to
limit
the
number
of
signs.
The
Arlington
Ridge
civic
association
and
Aurora
Highland
Civic
associations
Associated
themselves
with
the
the
Crystal
City
Civic
association's
comments.
AF
In
addition,
staff
stated
in
both
reports
that
since
the
Rooftop
signs
fac
the
commercial
area,
they
would
not
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
residential
neighborhoods.
The
current
signage
conditions,
as
I
mentioned,
are
more
restrictive
than
the
present
signage
allowances
per
Article
13
of
the
ordinance
as
commercial
buildings
mature
and
Market
themselves.
For
new
tenants,
it's
important
that
building
owners
be
able
to
Avail
themselves
of
signage
permissions
available
to
other
similar
buildings
so
as
not
to
place
themselves
at
a
competitive
disadvantage.
AF
Since
the
comprehensive
amendments
to
the
ordinance
site
plan,
building
owners
have
sought
site
plan
amendments
similar
to
this
request
to
remove
older,
more
restrictive
language
which
staff
has
supported
so
as
to
allow
for
fair
administration
of
building
signage.
Specifically,
there
have
been
seven
site
plan
amendments
approved
related
to
Rooftop
signage
language
since
2019,
with
two
more
requests
currently
under
review,
including
this
one
as
no
new
signs
are
proposed.
With
this
current
site
plan
Amendment
the
request
to
remove
the
two
AFF
forementioned
conditions
is
not
anticipated
to
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
community.
AF
Therefore,
staff
will
recommend
approval,
since
this
request
is
consistent
with
the
zoning
ordinance,
as
it
was
amended
specifically
to
streamline
signage
requirements,
and
the
purpose
of
this
amendment
is
to
make
the
signage
consistent
with
the
current
Arlington
County
Z
zoning
ordinance
standards.
Thank
you
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
questions
when
the
time
comes.
A
K
Okay
good
morning
board
members
and
thank
you:
Miss
Martin,
I'm,
Matthew,
wman
I'm,
a
land
use
attorney
with
Venable
in
Tyson
and
I'm.
Here
today,
representing
jbg
Smith
Miss
Martin's
presentation
already
hit
many
of
the
key
highlights
so
I'm
going
to
move
as
quickly
as
I
can
through
our
slideshow
and
I.
We
can
get
that
up
on
the
screen.
Great.
Thank
you.
So
I'll,
just
State
at
the
outset
that
the
request
before
you
today
is
purely
procedural.
Jbd
Smith
is
not
requesting
any
new
rooftop
signs
with
this
proposal.
K
Nor
are
they
proposing
amendments
to
what
is
currently
on
the
site.
It
is
strictly
a
procedural
change,
so
if
we
could
Advance
actually
forward
to
the
slides
with
the
picture
yeah,
we
can
skip
that.
Thank
you
so
I
know
you
saw
this
image
previously,
as
well
as
the
site
plane
condition
for
the
crystal
part.
K
One
building
I
won't
dwell
on
any
of
the
details
here,
but
I
think
you
get
a
sense
from
the
Lang
language
that
this
was
a
very
tenant
specific
approval,
with
very
precise
square
footages
and
references
to
specific
design
drawings
and
on
the
next
slide
you
see.
That's
the
same
situation
at
Crystal,
Park
3,
where
you
have
a
almost
20-year-old
sight
plan,
condition
very,
very
customized
for
the
tenant
requesting
it
at
that
time
next
slide.
So
the
the
situation
at
Crystal,
Parks,
1
and
three
is
not
unique.
K
In
fact,
it's
very
typical
for
these
older
buildings
and
that's
because
the
way
signage
used
to
be
regulated
prior
to
2012,
almost
every
sign
had
to
come
before
the
County
Board,
and
that
resulted
in
these
very
customized
tenant.
K
Specific
signage
approvals,
eventually
I
think
the
volume
of
those
submissions,
and
just
the
you
know,
fact
of
having
a
custom
approval
for
every
building
became
a
little
unwieldy
and
that's
why
in
2012,
the
ordinance
was
amended
Ed
to
provide
for
a
little
more
standard
rules
for
everybody,
introduce
an
administrative
process
and
generally
provide
a
little
more
flexibility
for
the
requests
to
come
in,
but
also
predictability
by
having
just
one
set
of
rules
that
every
owner
could
abide
by.
Those
are
all
positive
elements
of
the
sign
ordinance.
K
In
my
view,
the
one
sort
of
complication
of
the
new
system
is
that
for
buildings
like
Crystal
Park,
you
might
end
up
with
a
20-year-old
site
plan,
condition
that
says
one
thing
and
the
zoning
ordinance.
That
says
something
else:
they're
not
always
perfectly
in
concert
which
can
complicate
things
if
a
new
tenant
comes
in
and
wants
to
change
the
design
next
slide,
please.
So
this
is
just
a
summary
of
what
those
rules
are
in
the
zoning,
ordinance
and
I
know.
Miss
Martin
touched
on
some
of
those
already
I.
K
Think
overall
I
would
say
the
the
rules
are
designed
to
balance
the
need
for
commercial
signage
on
one
hand,
but
also
protect
those
residential
areas
on
the
other
and
make
sure
that
there's
mitigation
for
view
sheds
and
and
just
generally
being
respectful
of
your
surrounding
property
next
slide.
K
So
the
request
before
you
again
is
is
purely
procedural
is
just
requests
that
those
old
site
plan
conditions
be
eliminated
and
move
the
buildings
into
the
new
clearly
into
the
new
regulatory
pathway
of
the
zoning
ordinance,
and
that
has
the
effect
of
placing
Crystal
Parks
1
and3
on
an
even
footing
with
newer
buildings
that
don't
have
those
Legacy
site
plan
conditions
and
helps
improve
the
marketability
of
that
office.
Space
and
again,
no
no
new
signages
before
you
today,
no
modified
signages
before
you.
K
We
know
that
anything
that
a
new
tenant
might
want
will
still
have
to
go
to
the
zoning
department
and
work
the
way
through
the
zoning
administrative
review
and
and
satisfy
all
the
criteria
from
the
zoning
ordinance
and
finally,
on
the
last
slide.
Just
leave
you
with
just
some
examples
from
recent
years
of
similar
requests
again
we
we
know
this
is
sort
of
a
common
situation
that
comes
up
with
these
older
buildings,
and
you
know
just
our
firm
alone.
K
We
probably
have
one
of
these
a
year,
or
maybe
every
other
year
where
we
have
a
tenant
that
comes
in
and
wants
something,
and
we
have
to
go
back
and
clean
up
these
older
site
plan
conditions.
So
thank
you
very
much
appreciate
your
your
time
this
morning
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
A
You
Mr
alond
I,
don't
believe
we
have
any
commissions
to
speak
on
this
item.
So
why
don't
we
move
to
public
speakers
Mr.
X
Good
morning,
members
of
the
County
Board
I'm
John
miso,
a
government
Affairs
manager
at
the
oron
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
I,
would
just
like
to
say
a
few
words
requesting
that
the
board
accept
and
approve
this
applicant's
request.
X
In
the
midst
of
a
historically
High
office
vacancy
rate,
it
is
really
important
that
we
ensure
that
a
lot
of
our
commercial
space
is
on
solid
playing
fields
in
terms
of
marketability
and
granting
this
request,
which
is,
as
noted
in
the
presentation,
has
a
lot
of
precedent,
since
the
adoption
of
the
sign
ordinance
back
in
2012
is
a
really
simple
and
effective
way
to
ensure
that
these
building
and
Crystal
Drive
are
in
fact
on
an
even
playing
field
of
being
attractive
to
tenants,
both
existing
ones
and
ones.
X
That
can
come
in
from
Arlington
to
continue
to
and
contribute
to
the
business
environment.
Here
and
as
noted
in
Miss
Martin's
presentation,
this
is
a
very
straightforward
request.
This
would
not
adversely
impact
the
neighborhood
and
so
I
think.
Overall,
this
is
a
very
straightforward
request
that
would
really
benefit
the
business
environment
of
Crystal,
City
and
National
Landon.
So,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
hope
you
vote
to
approve.
Thank.
AG
Gabriel
good
morning,
chair
dorsy
and
members
of
the
County
Board,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
today.
I'm
Tracy,
SE
Gabriel
president
and
executive
director
of
the
national
Landing
business
improvement
district
on
behalf
of
the
business
community
in
Crystal,
City,
Pentagon,
City
and
bomic
yard.
The
national
Landing
bid
expresses
its
strong
support
for
amending
the
rooftop
signage
site
plan,
conditions
for
Crystal,
Park
1
and
three.
AG
We
believe
that
Arlington
County
zoning
ordinances,
Article
13,
which
allows
Property
Owners
to
approve
and
modify
rooftop
signage
administratively
rather
than
through
a
more
restrictive
site
plan
conditions,
is
the
best
approach
to
updating
signage
while
modernizing
our
Skyline
Crystal,
Park,
1
and
3
are
mature
commercial
buildings
and
improving
their
existing
rooftop
signage
through
an
approved
administrative
process
offers
a
more
streamlined
approach
to
updating
an
existing
sign.
The
bid
further
supports
this
amendment
as
the
applicant
is
not
requesting
any
new
signage,
but
is
proposing
necessary
updates
to
an
existing
rooftop
sign.
AG
Overall,
the
bid
strongly
endorses
a
more
streamlined
and
flexible
regulatory
process
in
which
signage
can
easily
be
updated,
rather
than
held
under
more
restrictive
site
plan
conditions.
This
improved
and
more
reliable
regulatory
process
will
ensure
that
National
Landing
properties
remain
competitive
and
continue
to
support
the
attraction
and
retention
of
corporate
office.
Tenants
in
our
growing
downtown.
Thank.
A
P
I'd
love
to
do
that.
Thank
you,
and
I
would
like
to
move
that
we
adopt
the
county
manager's
recommendation
to
adopt
the
ordinance
which
is
attached
to
the
staff
report
dated
September
14th
2023,
to
approve
a
site
plan
amendment
to
revise
condition,
language
related
to
Rooftop
signs
located
at
2011
and
2231
Crystal
Drive.
A
P
I
would
I
don't
have
any
questions.
Just
a
few
comments.
Colleagues
I
was
contacted
by
or
we
have
been
contacted
by
three
Civic
associations:
Arlington
Ridge,
Aurora,
Highlands
and
Crystal
City.
As
mentioned
I.
P
Don't
know
that
their
letter
is
in
the
the
materials
we
got
I
forward
it
to
you,
so
that
you
have
it
and
I've
reached
out
I'm
hoping
to
talk
to
at
least
a
couple
of
the
the
people
who
signed
that
letter
I'm
the
board
member
that
was
here
in
2012
when
this
was
first
done
and
we're
trying
to
get
this
up,
trying
to
get
these
buildings
in
compliant
or
conditions
similar
to
what
we
did
in
2012,
fully
supportive.
P
A
couple
of
the
things
that
the
the
the
civic
association
brought
up
there
three
main
points
they
were
concerned
about
that
the
visible
signs
they
say,
large
visible
signs
have
a
cost
to
the
community
and
they
talked
about
a
long
history
where
we've
had
a
lot
of
negotiations
and
they're
concerned
that
these
negotiations
are
getting
getting
undone
and
also
they
don't
like
having
it
changing
it
to
an
admin
approval
from
the
County
Board
instead.
I'm
excuse.
P
Excuse
me
from
to
the
staff,
instead
of
the
County
Board,
feeling
that
it
robs
the
community
of
a
voice
and
I.
These
are
all
the
discussions
we
had
in
2012
so
that
all
of
this
is
really
sort
of
the
discussions
have
been
had
and
if
Miss
Martin,
if
you're
able
to
quickly
pull
up
the
slide
that
it's
one
of
your
backup
slides
on
it's
got
a
list
of
of
everything.
That's
been
done
with
these
two
sites
in
the
past.
P
There's
just
you
can
just
see
all
of
the
times
the
signs
have
come
before
the
board
before
we
did
this.
This
Amendment
and
I
think
as
I
will,
when
I
talk
to
the
the
the
civic
association
presidents,
just
kind
of
go
yeah
I
mean
that's
just
a
lot
of
work
and
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
effort
for
something
that
really
I
think
shouldn't.
Take
that
much
time
and
effort.
We've
got
a
lot
of
issues
before
us,
and
you
know
the
square
inches
of
a
sign.
P
A
M
Thank
you
happy
to
support
this
I
do
have
a
the
staff
Report
with
respect
to
the
second
of
the
three
concerns
that
Miss
Garvey
identified
is
persuasive,
that
it
was
not
all
with
the
original
site
plan
and
there
are
two
site
plans
involved.
So
I'm,
that's
very
helpful
on
the
staff
report
on
that
piece
of
it.
M
I
guess,
with
respect
to
the
first
concern,
don't
know
if
staff
could
describe
and
the
visibility
of
the
signs
I
don't
know
and
didn't
quite
get
from
the
staff
report.
This
is
not
as
the
applicant
made
clear
and
and
in
the
staff
presentation.
This
is
not
a
specific
request.
What
would
be
allowable
under
the
the
signs
that
are
currently
present
would
be
allowable
as
well
as
was
there's
no
restriction
on
the
part
of
the
building.
There's
part:
that's
faces,
National
Airport
under
the
zoning
ordinance.
M
Would
there
be
restrictions
on
which
of
the
four
sides
of
these
two
buildings
signs
would
be
allowed
or
there
there
are
limitations,
I
believe
in
Article
13
on
height.
Can
you
speak
a
little
bit
to
whether
any
side
would
be
possible
for
these
signs,
but
there
and
just
confirm
that
there's
our
height
and
light
limitations,
if
you
could.
AF
So
so
line
map
B,
that's
the
the
pink
line
that
I
showed
on
the
slide
earlier
and
I
can
pull
this
back
up,
but
that's
facing
Federal
lands.
There's
there
are
going
to
be
those
hours
of
Illumination,
so
there's
going
to
be
a
Max
luminance
for
signs
above
40
ft
and
that's
going
to
be
200
200
un.
Whatever
the
unit
is
for
that
I
apologize
for
not
knowing
the
correct
term
per
square.
AF
Per
square
meter,
thank
you.
There's
hours
of
Illumination
standards
for
these
signs
facing
that
East.
Let
me
let
me
share
this.
AF
H
AF
From
Crystal
drive
from
of
Crystal
Park
1,
and
this
is
of
Crystal
Park
3,
so
these
are
both
not
facing
those
Federal
Federal
lands
and
any
request
for
a
new
sign
is
going
to
be
reviewed
by
the
zoning
administrator
or
the
zoning
department
to
to
fit
the
requirements
of
Article
13
as
it
exists
now,
but
these
side
map
requirements
will
also
apply.
Why.
M
Sure,
thank
you.
That's
very
helpful.
I
just
was,
as
you
were,
working
through
this
slide,
I
was
making
sure
I
had
absorbed
all
the
pieces
of
the
letter
that
we
have
received
and
U
this
slide,
and
your
explanation
satisfy
me
on
the
first
of
the
three
concerns
big
picture:
it's
aligning
with
our
zoning
ordinance,
and
that
seems
the
right
direction
to
me
on
in
this
case.
Thanks.
R
I
actually
want
to
follow
up
on
what
Mr
defon
was
asking
about,
and
I
apologize
for
not
submitting
this
to
staff
in
advance,
as
Miss
garby
shared
the
letter
today,
I
I,
seeing
it
and
I
understand
the
competitiveness
of
our
commercial
market.
Today,
I'm
not
looking
to
I
I
think
that
it's
important
to
align
our
zoning
ordinances
across
the
county,
but
I
also
think
it's
important
to
make
sure
our
residents
understand
what
the
impacts
are
of
that
and
I'm
not
sure
what
they
are.
R
So
can
you
provide
some
clarity
in
the
current
zoning
ordinance
plan
that
was
adopted
in
last
few
years
that
we're
trying
to
now,
you
know
make
it
the
same
for
everyone.
Are
there
time
restrictions
on
light,
illumination.
AF
AF
R
Okay,
so
if
okay,
so
so,
if
a
sign
is
lit
at
a
time
in
a
community,
they
can
come,
provide
feedback
concerns
and
there
can
be
some
mitigation
to
address
that
were
that
to
be
an
issue
at
a
point
right,
there's
an
opportunity
for
mitigation.
Is
that
what
you
just
just
said.
AF
If,
if
there
were
a
sign
that
weren't
in
compliance
that
could
be
addressed,.
R
Okay,
but
the
current
code
is
at
10
p.m.
the
signs
go
off
and
they
come
back
on
at
8:
a.m.
R
And
then
the
next
question
is
on
the
the
viewshed
of
the
GW
Parkway
and
I
I
just
want
to
get
clarity
on
this.
It
is
possible
that
there
may
be
signage
with
our
new
ordinance
if
we
approve
this
today,
where
a
sign
might
be
visible
from
the
viewshed.
AF
Signs
excuse
me
signs
facing
line.
B
facing
Federal
lands
would
be
possible,
but
they
would
have
to
meet
those
requirements
of
the
sign
map
and
if
they
couldn't
meet
those
requirements,
then
they
wouldn't.
R
Okay,
so
I
was
trying
okay.
So
what
are
the
requirements
of
the
sign
map?
And
you
don't
have
to
be
like
this-
this
piece
right
here
like
does
CU
I
was
trying
to
read
the
ordinance,
and
there
was
talking
about
like
needs
to
be
some
like
tree
coverage
or
something
to
that
extent
I'm
just
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
these
concerns
right,
like
it's,
okay
and
they
would
have
to
meet
these
requirements
like
I'm.
Sorry,
I
apologize
for
making
been
really
are
you
talking
about
the
ones
on
this
slide
right
now,
so
there's
a.
AF
R
No,
that's
okay,
I
just
but
right,
so
that
makes
sense
to
me,
but
they
could
be
visible
from
the
viewshed
like
there.
The
point
is
is
right:
now
you
can't
have
signs
that
impact.
The
viewshed
on
on
GW
Parkway.
Is
that
correct?
Right
now,
under
the
current
plan,
signs
are
not
allowed
to
impact
the
viewshed.
AF
Per
per
the
approved
conditions
that
are
are
proposed
to
be
eliminated.
There
would
not
so
with
the
current
condition
if
they
are
not
removed,
there
would
not
be
any
new
signage
for
the
rooftops
on
Crystal,
Park,
1
and
3
okay,
so
they
would
not
be
permitted
right
now,
due
to
those
restrictive
signage
conditions
that
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
remove.
Yes,.
K
R
R
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
move
in
this
direction
that
we're
at
least
very
clear
as
to
what
the
possible
expectations
are
and
I
think
that
during
these
situations
that
sometimes
we
just
have
to
find
a
compromise
in
understanding
the
needs
of
our
market
and
the
impact
to
our
tax
revenue,
making
sure
that
we
stay
competitive
and
understanding
that
we
are
in
a
very
Urban
environment
and
so
how
we
can
mitigate
those
challenges.
So
thank
you
for
helping
me
understand
that
appreciate
it.
O
Thank
you
so
one
one
question
I
have
for
you
so
when,
when
we
use
the
ordinance
to
approve
signs
and
buildings
over
40,
so
is
there
any?
So
if
somebody,
how
do
we
communic
at
that?
So
you
know
a
big
sign
on
a
high
tall
building
and
I'm
going
back
to
the
2012
process,
which
you
know
I
didn't
enjoy
from
this
position,
but
from
there
and
it
was
not
very
enjoyable.
O
It
was
an
extremely
you
know,
friction
Rich
conversation
back
then
so
there
there
were
many
safeguards,
and
there
was
you
know
all
all
this
concern
about
not
over
Illuminating
places
being
respectful
to
natural
resources.
In
this
particular
case,
it's
kind
of
mood
because
right
across
from
there
is
the
national
airport
and
there
is
no
more
illuminated
spec
on
this
region.
That
is
that
that
than
the
the
national
airport.
O
But
can
you
tell
me
how
the
how
staff
in
the
administrative
process
engages
with
stakeholders
in
these
cases
do
they
do
they
get
a
call
and
say
hey?
We
have
a
a
signage,
you
know
approval
here.
Do
you
have
anything
to
say
about
that?
Is
it
something
that
we
could
negotiate?
Is
it
something
that
is.
AH
Offensive
thank
you
good
morning
and
thank
you
board,
member
karonis
for
that.
For
that
question,
my
understanding,
right
in
in
our
collaboration
with
zoning
staff,
is
that
under
if,
if
and
if
an
applicant
is
looking
to
pursue
permissions
for
signage
under
an
administrative
approval,
there
really
is
no
public
review
process.
There
is
no
direct
engagement
with
the
stakeholders.
I
would
offer
until
you
know
the
a
sign
is
approved
and
installed,
and
if
stakeholders
have
concerns,
as
Miss
Martin
said
earlier.
AH
If,
if
there's
a
belief
and
opinion
that
there
might
be
a
violation,
they
could
always
contact
the
zoning
office
for
further
investigations
and
inspections,
but
there
really
isn't
a
public
process,
and
that
was
one
of
the
outcomes
out
of
the
2012
ordinance.
Amendments
was
to
really
Institute
institutionalize
and
administrative
approval
process
rather
than
having
each
one
come
forward
on
a
case-by
Case
basis.
O
No
I
understand
that
and
I
didn't
mean
mean
to
have
a
public
process
and
have
all
this
interference
with
a
straightforward
administrative
Pro.
That
applies
to
everybody
by
the
way.
The
same
way-
and
this
isn't,
you
know,
Ane
Equitable,
everybody's,
the
same
the
you
know
equal
for
the
long.
It's
just
a
courtesy
of
sometimes
saying
look.
This
is
a
sign.
That's
coming
up
and
because
I
I
feel
sometimes
I
mean
one
of
the
paragraphs
in
the
in
the
April
communication
dated
in
April
23
communication
that
we
got
from
the
civic
association
was
well.
O
We
are
concerned
about
converting
Crystal
Drive
into
Time
Square,
which
is
an
exaggeration
of
course,
but
you
know
it
conveys
a
message:
I
I,
by
the
way
think
that
especially
Crystal
Drive
is
evolving
in
terms
of
Illumination
and
night
presence.
Very
favorably.
This
is
a
very
decent
delivery
of
of
night
presents
not
at
all
offensive.
In
my
personal
opinion,
I
I
was
just
referring
to
just
a
you
know,
transactional
curtesy,
to
say
look
this
is
coming.
Do
you
have
any
any
objections.
AH
Yeah
I
I,
don't
believe
that's
part
of
our
operating
procedures
currently
I
think
there'd
be
some
questions
or
challenges
in
terms
of
who
those
stakeholders
are,
but
certainly
something
we
can
take
take
back
and
just
ensure
that
it's
just
customer
service.
O
Fi
I
was
referring
to
as
following
so
I
have
myself
experienc,
for
example,
issues
with
a
sign
of
the
Sheron
hotel
in
Pentagon,
the
at
the
end
of
Columbia
Pike.
Sometimes
this
the
sign
was,
you
know
flickering.
It
was
really
a
problem.
There
is
a
neighborhood
just
underneath,
so
it
was
was
refreshing
to
know
that
there
is
somebody
on
the
other
end
we
could.
We
could
call
and
discuss
that,
and
you
know,
through
the
just
normal
interaction
with
with
staff
and
with
the
with
the
owner
of
the
sign.
O
This
was
resolved
many
many
times,
so
there
is
a
customer
service
environment
to
that
and
a
good
attitude
to
this
without
having
to
introduce
a
you
know
an
approval
process.
Every
time
in
a
public
process,
I
mean
if
we
read
the
the
the
the
the
language
of
these
of
the
two
Seline
conditions
that
we
are
going.
We
we
we
are
they're
proposed
to
be
removed
and
I
support
that
they
they
prescribe
even
the
the
company
that
built
them
and
the
company
that
proposed
them
Jack
something.
S
O
Etc,
which
is
which
is
bous,
and
it
creates
a
an
absolutely
nightmare
of
governance
here,
I
I,
fully
appreciate
that
we
removed
in
2012
this
arbitrarily,
but
I
just
I'm,
just
I
just
want
to
convey
the
idea
that
you
know.
If
there
is
some
really
big
concern.
There
is
somebody
to
to
talk
to
and
and
there's
always
an
open
ear
for.
N
So
if
I
could
just
clarify
a
little
bit,
if,
if
there
is
a
problem
with
an
existing
sign,
if
there
is
an
issue
of
violation,
you
can
always
contact
the
zoning
office
for
enforcement.
What
I
think
Mr
ferelli
was
saying
is
that
there
is
no
pre
approval.
Public
engagement.
A
Process
yeah
so
I,
you
know
I'll
say,
for
my
part,
I
strongly
support
the
work
that
you
alluded
to:
Mr,
Schwarz,
beginning
and
and
Miss
Martin
mentioned
in
her
remarks
as
well
about
thinking
about
this
more
broadly
than
just
this.
A
You
know
we're
spending
a
fair
amount
of
time
talking
about
the
concerns
that
were
articulated
by
Civic
Association
members,
who,
maybe
perhaps
by
not
being
here
speaking
on
it
this
morning,
if
come
to
realize
that
the
the
current
process
that
we
have
cannot
stand
that
we
have
this,
these
these
conditions,
which
were
born
in
a
different
era
of
governance
and
are
so
specific
as
to
be
incredibly
inequitable
in
allowing
Commerce
to
sort
of
happen.
A
The
way
we
want
it
to
happen
now
and
the
whole
notion
of
having
the
administrative
approval
by
the
zoning
administrator
of
sign
plans
to
me
is
a
welcome
improvement
from
the
way
Arlington
used
to
operate.
I
can't
remember
the
last
time
we
had
a
complaint
or
issue
about
signs
in
Arlington
and
whereas
that
used
to
be
sort
of
the
pickle
ball
of
its
time
back
in
the
day.
So
the
fact
that
we
have
moved
to
a
level
of
efficiency
and
seeming
satisfaction
with
that
to
me
is
is
ample
evidence.
A
The
current
process
is
is
an
improvement
and
ought
to
be
standardized
across
everywhere,
so
I'm
happy
to
support
this,
but
also
would
encourage
Mr
Schwarz
to
to
to
have
staff
figure
out
as
soon
as
they
possibly
can
how
to
address
this
holistically.
Miss,
Martin
I
think
this
is
your
first
time
presenting
an
item
before
the
board.
A
First,
Saturday
all
right
so
well
that
that'll
count
you
did
a
you
did
a
great
job
but
I
think
it's
not
the
best
use
of
your
talents
to
have
you.
Looking
at
these
ad
hoc
sign
things
we
we
want
to
take
care
of
this
all
at
once,
so
that
you
can
handle
all
the
other
elements
that
Mr
ferelli
has
on
his
extensive
work
plan.
Any
other
comments,
all
right,
we'll
move
to
a
vote
on
this
item
and
M
garvey's
motion
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
I
I
I
any
opposed
the
eyes.
