A
Morning,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
begin
if
you
wouldn't
mind,
wrap
up
your
conversations.
Welcome
it's
nice
to
see
everyone.
This
is
board
chair,
Katie,
Crystal,

Along

I'm
joined
today
by
my
colleagues,
Vice
chairman,
Dorsey
Mr,
Karen,
Thomas,
Mr
defranti,
and
we
know
Ms
Garvey
will
be
stepping
out
to
join
us
shortly.
Thank
you
for
those
of
you
who
have
joined
us
here
in
the
county
boardroom
and
thank
you
to
those
who
are
joining
remotely
via
Microsoft

If
you
are
speaking
remotely,
please
do
keep
your
microphones
muted
until
you
were
called
upon
to
speak
and
your
camera's
off
as
well.
That
helps
us
manage
the
bandwidth.
You
need
to
unmute
yourself
if
you've
called
in
Star
6
is
the
way
to
do
that
when
it's
your
time
to
speak
or
clicking
the
microphone
button,
if
you're
using
teams,
a
Spanish
language
interpreter
is
available

Public

comment.
B
A
Gracias,
we're
glad
to
have
you
with
us
this
morning.
Occasionally
you
might
see
board
members
get
up
and
stretch
our
legs,
but
please
know
there
are
speakers
and
monitors
in
the
back,
so
we
can
still
hear
you
and
the
meeting
all
right.
One
more
thing
before
we
launch
into
public
comment.
We
have
definitely
had
a
lot
of
discussion
this
year
about
the
purpose
of
public
comment,
a
reminder.
A
We
have
long
had
this
tradition
as
a
way
to
inform
and
alert
the
board
to
issues
that
are
not
subject
to
recent
public
hearings
or
upcoming
public
hearings.
To
ensure
that
we
can
hear
a
range
of
topics
and
to
be
fair
and
consistent
across
those
speaking
on
different
issues.
We
have
a
one
speaker
per
topic
rule
that
helps
us
get
to
the
main
meeting
and
to
hear
your
neighbors
who
have
come
to
speak
on
the
advertised
item.
We
really
appreciate
everybody's
help
in
keeping
things
respectful
and
fair
to
your
fellow
residents.
A
If
you
are
here
with
a
coordinated
group
today-
and
it
appears
there
are-
you
are
welcome
to
Signal
your
support
for
the
comments
of
the
speaker,
who
is
voicing
your
opinions,
feel
free
to
stand,
hold
signs
as
you're
already
doing
Etc.
If
we
can
keep
the
noise
to
a
minimum
that
helps
keep
us
moving
expeditiously
as
well.
We
with
that
I
think
are
ready
for
our
public.
Come
that
period,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
our
clerk
Ms
Jacobs.
If
you
could
first
call
the
first
two
public
comment.
Speakers
please.
A
D
You
we
who
live
in
single-family
homes
are
privileged.
We
should
acknowledge
that
our
comfortable
lifestyle
is
highly
subsidized
by
renters
as
well
as
companies,
so
we
should
be
willing
to
share
our
nice
neighborhoods
with
a
few
more
families,
ordinary
people
with
Partners
jobs
and
sometimes
children.
There
are
social
and
economic
benefit,
not
a
burden.
They
contribute
to
our
tax
base
and
provide
more
customers
for
our
restaurants,
small
businesses
and
services,
but
those
nice
neighborhoods.
D
D
Expecting
those
workers
to
live
in
Clinton,
Stafford,
Woodbridge
or
Herndon
is
burdening
our
environment
and
their
lives.
We
owe
it
to
our
larger
Community
to
let
more
people
live
here
through
smaller
multiplexes,
yes,
but
especially
through
denser,
affordable
apartment,
housing
doing
otherwise
is
environmentally
unsustainable
and
it's
exclusionary.
D
E
F
E
Good
morning,
how
are
you
Katie
good
morning
and
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
today?
My
name
is
Jennifer
Owens
and
though
I'm
the
president
and
CEO
of
Arlington
Community
Foundation
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
nearly
two
dozen
organizations
who
have
signed
on
to
a
call
to
action
for
preservation
of
deeply
affordable
housing
and
historic
Redevelopment
of
Barcroft
Apartments
I've
sent
you
a
copy
of
the
call
to
action
and
I
see
it
there
on
the
screen.
E
Today,
we
commend
you
for
making
the
commitment
to
preserve
1334
units
at
60
Ami
for
99
years
and
for
your
commitment
to
not
displace
any
current
tenants.
This
is
a
considerable
accomplishment
for
the
county
and
its
partners
and
is
a
critical
and
necessary
first
step
to
preserving
barcroft's
affordability.
This
is
not
missing
middle.
This
is
about
preserving
deeply
affordable
housing
for
our
lowest
income
Neighbors.
E
For
decades,
the
Barcroft
Apartments
have
provided
housing
affordable
to
Residents,
with
a
diverse
array
of
incomes
and
backgrounds,
including
Arlington's
lowest
income
households
in
a
recently
conducted
census
of
the
property.
Nearly
78
percent
of
current
residents
reported
income,
60
percent
and
Below
25
percent
of
current
residents
are
living
on
just
30
percent
or
less
of
our
area
median
income.
The
Redevelopment
of
Barcroft
is
one
of
the
most
amazing
opportunities
to
achieve
a
scaled
solution
to
30
percent
housing.
E
If
done
thoughtfully
and
creatively,
it
could
create
a
roadmap
for
future
progress
on
this
tough
to
reach
affordability.
To
that
end,
when
finalized,
we
ask
that
the
Barcroft,
Master,
financing
and
development
plan
include
explicit
commitments
to
producing
255
units
of
hardwired
housing
at
30
percent
Ami
for
at
least
30
years,
and
employing
a
financing
strategy
that
uses
tools
and
funding
sources
that
avoid
displacing
current
tenants
or
occupancy
by
future
tenants
with
similar
challenges.
E
A
H
Morning,
good
morning,
I'm
Audrey
Clement
independent
candidate
for
County
Board
slide
one
as
the
only
County
Board
candidate,
opposed
to
missing
middle
op.
Zoning
I
want
to
debunk
some
myths
about
it.
Myth
number
one
missing
middle
will
redress
racial
inequities
by
providing
affordable
housing.
Not
so,
according
to
the
County's
own
data,
a
household
must
earn
at
least
108
000
a
year
to
qualify
for
the
smallest
one-bedroom
unit
in
an
aplex
black
and
Latino
median
household
income
is
a
fraction
of
that
myth.
H
Two
slide:
two
missing
middle
will
provide
more
home,
buying
opportunities
for
people
who
can't
afford
it.
Not
so
the
county
projects
that
about
90
percent
of
new
units
will
be
one
to
two
bedrooms,
only
in
good
Supply.
In
fact,
the
plan
will
cause
a
net
loss
in
needed
three
bedroom
units.
Also,
the
data
suggests
eighty
percent
will
be
rentals,
not
owner
occupied
myth.
Three
slide:
three,
only
20
lots
a
year
will
be
missing
middle,
so
the
impacts
will
be
negligible
doubtful.
H
The
county
has
refused
to
show
the
math
behind
this
number,
but
the
impacts
of
missing
middle
on
schools,
parking
traffic,
runoff
and
tree
canopy
could
be
enormous.
The
flipping
of
properties
by
out-of-state
investors
will
inflate
land
values
and
real
estate
assessments,
displacing
moderate
income
residents
and
leaving
the
rest
with
a
huge
tax
burden.
Myth
four
slide.
Four
tree
canopy
of
20
to
50
percent
is
achievable,
not
so.
According
to
the
Arlington
tree,
Action
Group,
the
tree
canopy
replacement
requirement
will
be
slashed
in
half
potentially
impacting
60
percent
of
Arlington's
tree
canopy.
H
I
Madam,
chair
Mr
Schwartz
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Wells
Harrell
I'm,
a
homeowner
in
Arlington,
East,
Falls,
Church
and
I'm
here
today
to
encourage
the
staff
and
the
board
to
make
plan
Langston
Boulevard,
even
more
ambitious
in
two
key
respects.
In
order
to
accomplish
the
goals
that
the
County
Board
has
already
set.
The
first
is
about
the
number
of
affordable
homes
right
now.
The
preliminary
concept
plan
simply
doesn't
allow
for
the
creation
of
enough
homes
to
meet
the
County's
own
goal
for
affordable
housing
in
the
2015,
affordable,
housing
master
plan.
I
I
The
second
is
on
the
inclusion
of
the
East
Falls,
Church
and
Cherrydale
areas
in
the
specific
recommendations
to
be
adopted.
Now
these
are
areas
where,
especially
in
Eden
Falls
Church's
case
and
I
can
attest
to
this.
The
county
has
come
nowhere,
close
to
realizing
the
visions
that
it's
set
forth
in
those
plans.
Metro
today
remains
surrounded
by
parking
lots
at
the
East
Falls
Church
station
and
so
far
there's
only
been
one
one
residential
development.
Since
the
plan
was
adopted
in
2011.
now,
I
supported
that
development.
I
That
was
the
very
first
time
I
addressed
the
board
back
in
2017,
but
we
need
to
do
more.
We
need
to
take
stock
of
why
we
haven't
achieved
the
goals
set
forth
in
the
Cherrydale
and
East
Falls
Church
area
plans
and
make
those
recommendations
a
specific
part
of
the
final
plan,
Langston
Boulevard,
in
order
to
not
just
learn
from
the
lessons
that
we
had
there,
but
to
guide
us
going
forward
and
make
sure
that
we
achieve
the
visions
that
we
have
in
four
Langston
Boulevard.
Thank
you.
K
I
would
like
to
inform
the
County
Board
that
I
have
decided
to
rename
what
I
drive
I'm
going
to
call
it
a
relocation
device
and
not
an
automobile,
and
therefore
I
will
not
be
suspect
to
the
personal
property
tax
in
the
future.
That
sounds
ludicrous,
though.
That's
exactly
what
the
county
has
intended
to
do
when
it
is
notifying
non-profits
that
it's
going
to
change
the
name
from
storm
water
tax
to
storm
water
fee,
the
county
notified
all
of
us
by
email
on
Monday.
K
It
stated
for
the
sole
purpose
to
increase
Revenue
I
find
it
disconcerting
that
the
county
leadership
would
try
to
attack
the
tax
exempt
status
of
non-profits
that
feed
the
Homeless
clothe.
The
needy
and
less
fortunate
support,
shelters
and
battered
women
help
fund
medical
clinics
and
provide
an
array
of
assistance.
Services
I
realize
that
the
courts
across
the
country
have
allowed
this
loophole
and
many
jurisdictions
have
taken
it
up.
Thank
you,
Idaho
for
seeing
clearly
tax
exempt
used
to
mean
tax
exempt.
It's
not
supposed
to
mean,
let's
just
call
the
tax
by
another
name.
K
Less
people
don't
think
this
is
important
under
this
Logic.
The
county
could
state
that
property
taxes
are
now
property
fees
and
remove
the
tax
exempt
status
of
churches
and
synagogues
and
the
Goodwill
and
the
Salvation
Army
on
the
land
that
they
own
board
members.
Just
because
you
have
the
jurisdiction
to
have
a
crafty
way
for
a
loophole.
I
encourage
you
not
to
take
it.
Tax
exempt
means
tax
exempt.
However,
if
you
do,
please
know
that
I
publicly
notified
you
that
I'm
renaming
my
vehicle,
a
relocation
device,
Arlington,
is
only
26
square
miles.
K
L
Good
morning,
chair
Crystal
Vice,
chair
Dorsey
members
aboard
President
Biden's
Administration,
recently
embraced
bold
action
to
combat
climate
change.
The
inflation
reduction
act
called
the
most
aggressive
action
taken
to
confront.
The
classified
makes
a
colossal
commitment
to
reduce
the
ghastly
impacts
of
global
warming.
Noaa
reports
this
summer
was
Earth's.
Fifth
warmest
on
record.
The
five
warmest
June
August
peers
on
record
have
occurred
since
2015
around
the
U.S
and
the
world.
Global
warming
is
intensifying.
Flash
flooding
is
kind
of
causing
High
numbers
of
deaths.
Ice
caps
are
melting
at
unprecedented
rates.
Sea
level
rise
is
accelerating.
L
It's
only
fair
as
the
crisis
intensified,
and
we
see
the
federal
government
take
bold
action
for
residents
to
ask
how
is
Arlington
responding?
What
actions
are
we
taking
to
Arlington's
credit?
There's
a
budget
to
hire
a
climate
officer,
and
this
step
is
mostly
a
token
unless
immediately
reinforced
with
actions
in
line
with
the
seriousness
demonstrated
by
the
federal
government.
L
Arlingtonians
have
a
right
to
know,
for
example,
what
budget
and
Staffing
will
the
climate
officer
control
our
climate
priorities
be
integrated
throughout
government
departments?
How
are
you
the
board,
prioritizing
climate
and
decisions
you
make
each
and
every
day,
for
example,
as
you
assess
and
vote
on
projects
that
fast
track,
Paving.
L
The
county,
how
are
you
working
to
ensure
the
county
doesn't
become
one
of
the
vast
Urban
heat
island,
Congressman
buyer?
Among
many
other
leaders
calls
global
warming
the
existential
threat
of
our
time.
In
the
face
of
this
crisis,
business
as
usual
would
be
unconscionable,
I
hope
your
actions
and
decisions
will
demonstrate
that
you
fully
agree.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
So.
N
Good
morning,
I'm
Griffin
Crouch
a
scout
in
troop
167.
we're
a
group
of
over
50
boys
and
girls,
and
we
have
met
at
Mount,
Olivet,
Methodist
Church,
on
Glebe
Road.
For
70
years
last
year,
the
national
Methodist
Church
told
their
churches
to
stop
officially
sponsoring
Scout
Troops
for
that
they
could
still
let
the
scouts
meet
there.
N
These
Vans
take
Scouts
on
campus
and
Heights
and
to
once
in
a
lifetime
Adventures
backpacking
in
New,
Mexico
and
scuba
diving
in
Florida.
They
also
bring
Scouts
to
meetings,
because
not
all
Scouts
families
can
afford
to
drive
them
and
early
in
the
pandemic,
we
ran
a
food
drive
that
helped
nutrition,
insecure
families
that
relied
on
use
of
the
vans.
N
Three
thousand
dollars
is
a
big
bite
out
of
our
twenty
one
thousand
dollar
budget.
It
seems
wrong
that
a
scout
troop
has
to
pay
that,
because
of
being
sponsored
by
non-religious
non-profit
rather
than
a
church,
we
still
help
the
church
and
it
considers
us
part
of
its
social
justice.
Ministries.
A
lot
of
members
are
first
generation
immigrants.
N
M
Good
morning,
I'm
Dima
hakura
I'm,
not
here
to
criticize,
but
to
inspire
I'm,
not
talking
about
one
initiative
or
one
development,
but
all
Arlington
holds
one
of
the
most
educated
and
forward-thinking
populations
in
the
country.
We
need
the
leadership
that
builds
consensus,
Among
Us
and
unites
us,
a
leadership
that
not
only
respects
our
opinions
and
values
them,
but
also
Taps
into
them,
one
that
considers
our
thoughts
and
makes
constructive
use
of
them
to
evolve
the
solutions
possible.
M
With
a
collaborative
approach,
you
may
not
get
the
results
you
had
worked
for
at
the
beginning
of
a
process.
You
get
far
superior
ones
that
meet
your
citizens
needs.
Interestingly,
Arlington
was
always
known
for
that,
but
somehow
somewhere
we
lost
our
way
and
we
need
to
find
it
again.
In
contrast,
we,
your
citizens,
are
ready
and
willing
to
work
with
you
to
achieve
the
best
results.
In
contrast,
we
do
not
need
the
leadership
that
only
listens
to
those
who
support
their
agenda
and
ignores
the
rest
and
only
creates
division
in
our
society.
M
We
do
not
need
people
to
patronize
us
and
tell
us
that
there
are
making
the
tough
decisions,
because
they
know
better.
For
the
past
10
years,
I
have
been
coaching
elementary
students
on
Creative
out
of
the
box,
thinking
and
teamwork.
Any
of
my
students
can
tell
you
that
when
we
put
our
minds
together
and
build
upon
each
other's
ideas,
we
come
out
with
far
superior
results.
I
repeat,
it
starts
at
the
top
leadership
act
as
a
model
for
the
rest
of
the
county
for
their
advisors,
Commissioners
committees
and
staff.
M
When
I
told
people
I
was
coming
to
speak
before
you
today,
the
reaction
was,
why
bother-
or
it's
not
going
to
make
an
iota
of
difference
or
their
mind
is
already
made
up.
They
have
an
agenda
that
they
want
to
push
regardless.
I
am
hoping
differently.
Citizens
and
their
associations
need
to
be
invited
back
and
to
have
a
weighted
seat
on
the
table.
Things
cannot
be
warmed
on
them
anymore.
Public
engagement
needs
to
be
real,
not
to
check
the
box.
Attitude
that
we
have
all
become
familiar
with.
M
O
Good
morning,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Scott.
Pedowitz
I
am
a
volunteer
on
the
board
of
directors
of
the
Clarendon
Alliance
and
I
am
here
this
morning
with
an
invitation
for
you
for
everybody,
in
the
room
for
everybody
watching
on
TV
and
YouTube
and
teams,
and
that
is
to
join
us
a
week
from
today,
Saturday
the
24th
for
Clarendon
day
back
for
the
first
time
in
three
years.
So,
yes,
we
will
be
out
there
from
11
to
6,
11
A.M
to
6
p.m.
O
Over
by
the
Clarendon
Metro
Plaza
and
the
streets
around
it.
We
have
great
attractions,
live
music
from
Captain
C,
Walker's,
Yacht
Rock
party
starting
early
and
Uncle
Jesse.
Yes,
those
are
all
band
names,
craft,
beer,
wine,
food
from
local
restaurants,
artists
and
exhibitors,
really
great
creative
stuff.
There,
a
fun
kid
zone
for
our
youngest
arlingtonians
and
people
like
me,
who
are
young
at
heart,
can
you
know
enjoy
a
little
bit
as
well?
There
is
more
information
on
our
website
clarendon.org.
O
Additionally,
we
are
seeking
volunteers.
So
if
you
want
to
get
involved
in
you
know
if
you
want
to
come
and
patronize
and
enjoy
do
that
if
you
want
to
contribute
as
well,
there
are
opportunities
to
be
outside
and
to
do
that,
you
can
sign
up
at
volunteerarlington,
which
is
volunteer.leadercenter.org,
Click,
learn
more
under
volunteers
and
then
volunteer
opportunities
will
be
right
at
the
Top
If.
That's
a
bit
of
a
mouthful.
O

Rebuilding
the
Arlington
way
with
ranked
Choice
voting
is
a
voting
system
for
elections
that
allows
voters
to
rank
the
preferred
candidate
from
favorite
to
second
favorite,
to
third
favorite
and
so
on.
Then
some
math
stuff
happens
and
it's
calculated,
which
candidate
has
the
strongest
and
widest
support
from
the
voters.
P
Elections
using
ranked
Choice
voting
are
far
more
accurate
of
the
people's
will
and
preferences
by
getting
rid
of
the
spoiler
vote.
You
see
in
any
truly
competitive
election
with
more
than
two
candidates.
There's
always
the
anxiety
of
casting
a
vote
for
your
favorite
preferred
candidate,
the
one
you
really
want
versus
the
candidate
you
think
can
win
to
beat
the
other
person.
P
P
Ranked
Choice
voting
is
probably
the
single
best
way
to
rebuild
our
Arlington
Way
by
making
sure
every
resident
has
a
voice
and
no
vote
is
wasted.
Ranked
Choice
voting
has
been
available
to
be
used
since
2020.
one
year
earlier
than
the
rest
of
the
Commonwealth,
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
delegate,
Patrick,
hope
and
others,
but
Arlington
squandered
that
opportunity
and
is
still
delaying
planning
and
implementation
of
ranked
Choice
voting
each
and
every
one
of
you
up
on
the
Dias
has
a
sacred
responsibility
to
all
Vader
voters,
not
just
your
political
party.
P
A
A
All
right,
as
is
our
custom,
just
a
couple
of
words
in
response
to
those
who've
joined
us
today,
I
think.
In
most
cases
we
have
some
good
ongoing
opportunities
to
talk
about
these
issues,
but
for
those
who've
taken
the
time
just
a
couple
of
words
I'll
go
through
and
then,
if
colleagues
have
anything
to
add
Ms,
English
and
Dr
Clement.
A
Thank
you
both
for
coming
in,
and
thank
you
to
many
who
have
joined
us
today,
I'm
going
to
speak
just
a
few
words
about
the
missing
middle
process
for
engagement
and
ways
to
have
participate
in
this
conversation.
So
over
the
next
few
weeks
we
are
talking
to
700
arlingtonians
in
small
group
conversations
Community
conversations
we
have
kept
adding
sessions
until
everyone
who
wanted
a
spot
moved
off.
The
waitlist
could
be
moved
onto
a
conversation
and
we're
really
looking
forward
to
those
some
have
happened
already
and
I
know.
My
colleagues
are
joining
as
well.
A
If
you
didn't
have
a
chance
to
register
or
get
on
a
waitlist
and
now
off
a
waitlist,
we
do
still
want
to
continue
the
conversation.
We
will
be
dedicating
parts
of
our
Open
Door
Mondays,
through
probably
the
end
of
the
year
at
least
November,
to
continuing
those
conversations
in
a
small,
more
Dynamic
environment.
A
Well,
we
are
also
one
third
of
the
way
through
information
sessions
that
we're
hosting
there's
a
strong
desire
within
the
community
to
hear
from
independent
experts
to
kick
the
tires
on
ideas
about
the
the
costs
and
economics
of
housing
in
Arlington,
as
well
as
things
like
comprehensive
planning
and
whether
Arlington
is
prepared
to
address
impacts
on
everything
from
tree
canopy
to
public
facilities
like
schools
or
Public
Safety.
We
had
a
great
kickoff
to
those
that
video
is
now
available
on
the
website
featuring
independent
economists.
A
We
also
have
sessions
upcoming
on
the
history
and
future
of
zoning
and
again
comprehensive
planning.
So
we
encourage
everyone
to
visit.
Our
linkedinva.us
search
missing
middle
you'll
find
some
ways
to
engage
there
and
we
look
forward
to
engaging
in
a
more
Dynamic
conversation.
I
also
just
want
to
give
a
sincere
thanks
to
all
who've
come
to
to
for
respecting
our
one
speaker
per
topic,
Rule
and
helping
us
here
for
more
neighbors
Ms
Owens.
We
so
appreciate
your
coming
in
today,
I
I
think
I
speak
for
all
all
of
us
on
the
board
and
our
staff.
A
When
I
say,
we
are
really
grateful
for
the
community
foundation's
leadership.
This
necessity
of
following
through
on
our
commitment
to
zero
displacement
at
Barcroft
Apartments
is
I,
think
one
of
the
most
important
housing
strategies
consuming
us
consuming
stakeholders
like
yourself
and
many
other
groups
in
Arlington,
certainly
our
staff
and
the
new
mission-driven
owner
of
that
property,
and
so
the
the
Community
Foundation
in
particular,
has
done
I
think
really
commendable
work
that
you
presented
with
us
today
or
presented
us
with
today
to
achieve,
as
you
put
it,
hardwired
units
committed
to
30
percent
of
area.
A
Median
income
are
committed
to
Affordable
a
30
of
area,
median
income
as
part
of
the
long
run,
Vision
I
know
our
staff
I
know
the
board
are
really
interested
in
this
as
well
right
now,
that
is
in
a
financial
analysis
stage
and
is
absolutely
we're,
including
a
a
look
at
the
community
foundation's
recommendation.
So,
income
averaging
and
financing
subsidies,
land
use
tools,
things
that
we've
never
done
in
Arlington
before
because
of
the
magnitude
of
this
need
and
opportunity.
A
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
and
we
appreciate
the
constructiveness
of
you
and
the
the
many
signatories
to
that
call
to
action.
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
take
this
opportunity
to
say
when
we
talk
about,
you
know
committed
to
30
Ami.
That
is
the
long-term
future
of
Barcroft
short
term.
There
is
absolute
commitment
to
zero
displacement
at
Barcroft.
We
cannot
say
that
enough.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
misinformation
in
the
community
and
we
want
every
resident
of
Barcroft
to
know
the
county
is
working
really
hard.
A
The
the
the
the
owner
of
Barcroft
is
working
really
hard
to
know
that
rents
are
not
increasing
at
all
in
2022
starting
next
year,
they
may
increase
by
a
maximum
of
three
percent
annually,
which
at
this
point
is
pretty
sub
inflation
and
for
any
household
for
whom,
even
that
three
percent
is
the
difference
between
their
ability
to
stay
in
Barcroft,
including
if
they
are
already
struggling
to
afford
their
rent
in
Barcroft.
A
We
have
a
lot
of
tools
available,
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
and
share
a
couple
of
phone
numbers
just
in
case
we
can
reach
everyone.
Today
we
have
a
resident
resource
or
there
is
a
resident
resource
coordinator
on
site.
A
703-368-88888
to
help,
as
well
as
the
Arlington
Department
of
Human
Services
team,
which
we
can
help
with
food
assistance,
rent
assistance
and
anything
else
you
might
need
assistance
is
available.
Irrespective
of
the
immigration
status
of
your
household.
Please
call
703-228-130
if
you
need
any
help.
It's
so
important
to
all
of
us
that
our
neighbors
of
the
Barcroft
property
can
stay
for
the
long
term
and
be
part
of
that
Future
Vision
all
right,
Mr
Harold.
A
Thank
you
for
coming
in
to
talk
about
plan
Langston
Boulevard,
particularly
your
comments
with
regard
to
to
expansion
of
the
scope
of
the
plan.
There
again
I'll
note,
just
some
processes
to
engage
I
think
some
in
our
community
may
have
seen
and
you're
referring
to
the
preliminary
concept
plan
that
was
made
available
just
last
month.
There
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
share
perspectives
on
that
we
have
a
new
feedback
form
just
launched.
We
are
excuse
me.
A
The
Langston,
Boulevard
Alliance
is
hosting
a
design
studio
for
residents
to
to
get
in
and
really
understand
the
way
some
of
these
proposals
might
play
out.
We
are
doing
virtual
community
meetings.
There's
an
interactive
map
that
I
have
found
through
a
really
educational
tool
for
understanding
what
this
might
look
like
in
real
life.
So
we
really
appreciate
being
able
to
continue
that
conversation
Mr
Harrell
thanks
for
bringing
it
up,
Reverend
Dr
Nagel.
A
A
Over
the
past
couple
of
years,
we
have
a
plan
called
flood
resilient
Arlington
to
address
the
legacy
of
largely
single-family
single
family
planning
decisions
in
the
middle
of
last
century
that
are
now
leading
to
flooding
throughout
our
community.
That
requires
a
lot
of
investment.
A
You
can
see
in
our
CIP
on
the
order
of
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
when
it
comes
to
figuring
out
how
to
pay
for
these
Investments.
The
structure
that
this
board
has
given
staff
guidance
to
adopt
and
that
they're
following
through
on,
is
paying
for
it
by
assessing
fees
on
the
basis
of
how
much
runoff
is
generated
by
properties.
A
Historically,
we
have
asked
everyone
to
pay
equally
when
everyone
is
not
contributing
to
the
impacts
of
storm
water
equally,
and
so
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
stormwater
fee
is
paying
for
stormwater
infrastructure.
It
is
not
a
tax
that
goes
to
our
general
fund,
notwithstanding
all
of
that
I
respect
where
you're
coming
from
and
I
know
that
our
communities
of
faith
in
particular
often
operate
on
very
narrow
budgets,
and
so
we
do
look
forward
to
continuing
that
conversation
with
you
and
I'm
glad
that
you
came
in
this
morning.
A
Similarly,
Mr
Crouch
with
respect
for
the
tax
exemptions
for
troop
167
I
just
want
to
first
really
commend
you
all
I
think
you
you
demonstrate
collectively
and
individually,
the
best
of
the
values
of
scouting
Community
organization
and
Leadership
and
critical
thinking
and
Analysis.
It's
really
nice
to
see
you
all
I
know
some
of
my
colleagues
have
started
this
conversation
with
you
all
and
we'll
continue
it
again.
The
principle
that
says
stake
here
is
is
one
of
fairness.
A
A
It's
been
sort
of
a
complicated
series
of
events
to
to
get
the
troop
here
and
so
I
I
wonder
if
there
may
be
some
opportunities
for
us
to
figure
out
sort
of
your
incorporation
status
and
if
there
are
ways
that
we
can
help
in
that
regard,
I
will
invite
some
of
my
colleagues,
so
I
think
have
maybe
engage
in
this
issue
to
speak
or
say
more,
but
if
not
I
will
make
it
a
point
to
follow
up
personally
I
think
we've
got
the
phone
number
here,
as
well
as
an
email
address
about
next
steps
here.
A
Thank
you.
So
much
to
you
and
your
fellow
Scouts
for
coming
in
Mr
Kara
appreciate
your
coming
in
your
comments
on
leadership
and
Civic
engagement.
I
know.
Each
of
us
has
had
a
lot
of
opportunities
recently
to
talk
in
great
depth
with
you
at
Open
Door
Mondays,
in
context
of
the
courthouse
West
plan
which
we'll
be
talking
about
next
on
our
agenda
and
I
appreciate
the
the
comments
that
you
made
this
morning.
A
Mr
petos,
thanks
for
sharing
about
Clarendon
day
that
sounds
terrific
and
I
think
this
community
could
use
some
opportunities
to
recreate
and
come
together.
So
appreciate
you
putting
us
on
that,
putting
that
on
our
radar
and
thank
you
to
the
Clarendon
Alliance
for
all
of
your
work
in
pulling
off
that
wonderful
Community
event.
Next
week,
Mr
Theo
I,
please
stay
tuned
on
Tuesday
during
my
cheers
report
I'm
going
to
have
more
about
ranked
Choice
voting.
I
am
not
organized
to
give
it
this
morning,
but
there
is
more
coming
I
I
want
to.
A
As
you
know,
speaking
at
least
for
myself.
I'm
generally
in
agreement
with
your
positions
did
want
to
just
speak
to
the
the
criticism
about
the
delay.
We
had
the
authority
to
implement
it,
but
the
state
has
not
been
ready
to
implement
it
through
their
tabulator
machines
and
their
voting
machines.
Until
this
year
we
would
have
cost
us
millions
of
dollars
to
provide
the
Statewide
equipment
if
we
were
to
have
introduced
it.
A
So
we
are
now
in
a
in
a
position
to
actually
move
forward
now
that
the
state
has
updated
their
machines
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
having
that
conversation
with
the
community
for
all
of
the
reasons
that
you
articulated
that
ranked
Choice
voting
can
really
help
and
I
think
as
we
see
that
actually
happening
throughout
the
United
States
and
its
results
in
some
primaries
or
general
elections,
I
at
least
think
it's
it's
been
showing
the
promise
of
those
results
so
more
to
come
on,
Tuesday,
all
right,
colleagues,
anything
to
add
Mr,
deferenti
and
then
Mr
Dorsey.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Your
remarks
cover
My,
Views,
I,
think
I'm,
not
quite
sure.
If
we
we
talked
about
Miss,
Norland
and
I
know
that
was
just
I.
Q
Sure
so
Miss
Noland
I
I
agree
that
there
are
two
defining
challenges
of
our
time.
One
of
them
is
climate
change
and
one
is
income,
inequality
and
racial
inequities,
and
my
time
is
organized
around
on
the
board
is
organized
around
how
I
can
help
address
the
existential
threat
that
I
think
climate
presents.
Q
The
recent
science
is
even
more
striking
and
concerning
I
appreciate
you
mentioning
the
the
chief
climate
officer,
I
know,
that's
very
important
and
I
think
you've
asked
reasonable
questions
about
how
we
integrate
climate
into
every
decision
that
we
do
I've
done
a
lot
of
due
diligence
to
try
and
work
with
Des
to
make
sure
that's
happening.
There
is
much
more
to
do.
I
had
a
conversation
Thursday
of
about
an
hour
with
staff
on
that
staff
is
working
very
hard.
Q
There's
a
nofa
process
to
that
would
lead
to
some
significant
structural
changes
over
time,
but
we're
also
mindful
of
the
urgency
of
this.
With
respect
to
Paving
and
heat
Islands.
Our
chair
and
I
have
had
conversations.
I
know
all
of
us
care
about
that
issue.
We've
had
some
conversations
with
Eco
action
Arlington
and
need
to
continue
that
work,
but
I
hope
that
that
indicates
and
I
know
that
we
all
share
The
View
with
respect
to
miss
Sakura's
point.
Q
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Your
comments,
reflecting
where
we
are
in
various
processes
that
were
brought
up
by
speakers.
I
associate
myself
with
I,
just
like
to
recognize
and
appreciate
that
the
roles
that
we
have
are
public
comment,
which
is
sometimes
come
under
scrutiny
today,
is
a
demonstration
of
how
they
work.
We're
able
to
hear
a
multitude
of
viewpoints
without
necessary
unnecessarily
getting
into
ad
hoc
public
hearings.
R
In
a
way,
that's
helpful
for
the
board
to
figure
out
what
people
are
interested
in
and
we
had
a
number
of
issues
brought
up
today,
which
are
all
very
important
as
we
move
forward
in
Arlington.
So
I
will
reflect
specifically
on
Miss
akura's
comments.
Since
her
stated
intention
was
to
inspire
us,
I
am
inspired
to
reflect
a
little
bit.
You
brought
up
really
an
essential
tension.
That's
existing
in
Arlington
right
now
and
I
appreciate
and
believe.
You
are
quite
sincere
in
wanting
to
have
our
community
forward
on
big
issues
with
consensus.
R
But
I
will
also
note
as
a
realist.
That's
difficult
is
reflected
by
the
various
signage
that
we
have
in
the
room
when,
on
some
of
the
major
issues
in
our
community,
the
perspectives
are
yes
or
no
save
destroy
it's
tough,
to
build
consensus.
When
the
extremes
are
so
rigid
in
terms
of
what
it
is,
they
want.
R
R
Maybe
the
perspectives
that
we
have
ourselves,
it's
going
to
be
really
difficult
to
have
that
consensus.
So
you
know,
as
I,
hear
things
like,
let's
figure
out
how
to
provide
weighted
votes
for
some
versus
the
others.
That's
not
going
to
get
us
to
the
consensus
that
I
think
a
lot
of
people
desire,
so
I'll
just
say
in
closing.
R
You
know
this
is
something
that
I
I
think
deeply
about,
and
one
of
the
areas
of
shorthand
that
I
have
with
some
of
my
colleagues
the
manager
when
we
think
about
Arlington
or
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
keep
you
up
at
night,
and
this
is
the
thing
that
keeps
me
up
at
night
how
to
figure
out
how
to
bring
our
community
together,
so
that
if
we
can
at
least
bring
consensus
to
the
conversation
that
we
don't
fracture
as
a
result,
so
I.
Thank
you.
S
You,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
covering
most
of
the
issues
cover
my
comments.
Most
of
the
issues
to
Mr
de
Franti.
Thank
you
for
picking
up,
Miss
New,
Orleans
comments
on
on
climate
change
and
how
Arlington
responds
to
that.
This
is
one
of
the
most
complex
and
demanding
issues
and
and
going
back
to
Mr
dorses.
You
know
discussion
about
consensus.
We
we
just
need
to
see
how
difficult
these
and
how
complex
these
issues
are.
Complex.
Consensus
at
the
end
is
not
always
an
easy
place.
S
S
This
is
not
always
very
easy
and
we
will
see
in
today's
discussion
further
down
when
we
talk
about
the
corridor
and
about,
but
you
know
that
architecture
and
Heights
and
density
how
you
know
how
sometimes
very
the
the
balance
between
the
voices
that
are
piercing
through
in
in
the
poly
in
the
policy
making
process
are
not
equitably
distributed.
S
So
this
is
my
remark,
but
I
wanted
to
just
to
underscore
the
very
important
issues
that
Miss
no
one's
has
brought
to
us
today
about
the
Deep,
the
issue
of
deep
affordability
and
the
challenge
of
this
of
real
displacement.
That,
let's
make
no
I,
mean,
make
no
mistake.
S
The
displacement
of
30
percent,
40
percent
Ami
households
has
been
happening,
and
during
the
pandemic
we
we
have
seen
massive
displacement
of
these
households
from
Arlington
from
Barcroft,
specifically
so
I
I
do
appreciate
the
input
that
the
Arlington
Community
Foundation
brought
class
they're
very
concentrated
their
effort
to
find
ways
to
make
it
possible
to
guarantee
the
non-displacement
of
these
neighbors
of
ours.
They
live
practically
in
my
neighborhood,
so
I
feel
to
twice
as
responsible
for
finding
solutions
that
are
viable
not
only
for
30
years,
but
even
even
more.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
T
Garvey
yeah
I,
just
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
coming
I'm,
not
going
to
go
over
issues
and
I.
I
agree
really
pretty
much
with
everything
that
said.
I
will
I
will
have
one
small
disagreement
with
my
colleague,
Mr
Dorsey
talking
about
the
past
I
actually
think.
Not
only
were
there
people
who
weren't
hurt
I
think
there
was
a
lot
of
controversy
back
then
I
think
over
time.
We've
all
gotten
used
to
having
Metro
here.
I
suspect
it
was
extremely
controversial
at
the
time,
because
any
kind
of
major
change
is
people.
T
Sometimes
ask
me
why
I
keep
doing
this
job
and
I
really
do
love
it
in
part,
because
it's
so
fascinating,
Arlington
County.
If
you
think
about
it,
we
have
people
even
in
this
room,
coming
to
plead
the
case
for
folks
who
can
barely
afford
a
an
apartment
at
a
very
low
rate,
one-bedroom
apartment.
And
then
we
have
people
who
are
concerned
who
are
living
in
multi-million
dollar
houses
and
we've
got
everything
in
between
we've
got
extreme
urbanism.
T
That
looks
like
a
huge
big
city,
any
kind
of
eastern
coast,
big
city
and
we've
got
leafy
suburbs
and
they're.
All
of
these
interests
that
we
have
to
pull
together,
it's
very
helpful
having
everybody
come
today,
was
a
real
good
example
of
all
the
different
kinds
of
views
that
we
are
trying
to
put
together
and
I.
Ask
people
sometimes
to
remember
that
there
are
I,
think
it's
approximately
240
000
people
now
living
in
Arlington.
T
That's
a
lot
of
people,
a
lot
of
different
perspectives
and
as
we
continue
to
work
together,
I
also
appreciate
everybody
really
following
the
the
one
one
item
for
one
speaker
per
item
and
helping
to
keep
us
this
conversation
going
forward,
because
it's
the
only
way
we're
going
to
work
this
out
with
the
extreme
diversity
and
changes
we
have.
But
this
is
a
great
community
and
we're
going
to
work
together
and
continue
to
keep
it
that
way.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
Oh.
This
feels
like
a
slightly
pedestrian
way
to
end
after
my
colleagues
shared
some
really
high
level
thoughts
about
engagement,
which
I
appreciate
very
much,
but
I
did
because
I
Miss
Norland
in
my
list,
I
really
appreciated.
A
My
colleague
visitor
Franti
speaking
to
that
I
also
just
wanted
to
know.
I
feel
like
that
old,
mid
odds,
commercial,
there's
an
app
for
that.
There's
a
process
for
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
we
in
addition
to
our
community
energy
plan,
which
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
right,
our
goals
of
Arlington's
operations,
being
carbon
neutral
by
2025,
the
the
community-wide
going
fiber
neutral
by
2050
and
all
that
entails.
A
We
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
energy
use,
Ms,
norly
and
I
I,
wouldn't
dare
speak
for
you,
but
I
know
from
from
previous
conversations.
I
think
you
come
to
this
era.
Question
of
climate
change
through
the
lens
of
conservation
of
Natural
Resources
in
particular,
and
so,
if
that
has
sort
of
felt
lost
in
the
conversation
or
those
big
questions
you
were
raising,
you
know,
haven't
been
sufficiently
answered
by
our
community
energy
plan.
I.
Just
wanted
to
note,
as
I
know,
you
know,
but
in
case
others
don't.
A
We
are
also
in
the
middle
of
updating
our
forestry
and
natural
resources
plan,
an
element
of
our
comprehensive
plan
and
an
opportunity
for
us
to
talk
about
preservation
of
Arlington's
natural
resources.
There
is
in
Virtual,
open
house
happening
on
Thursday
September
29th.
For
those
who
would
like
to
learn
more,
you
can
visit
arlingtonva.us
and
search
fnrp.
All
right,
I
think
we
are
ready,
then,
to
move
to
our
consent
agenda.
A
If
you
could
do
a
do
a
please
keep
your
comments
until
you
get
outside
the
boardroom
so
that
we
can
keep
doing
our
work.
We
would
really
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
so
much
okay
item
34
has
been
pulled
from
our
item
for
hearing
on
Tuesday
Mr
Dorsey
in
motion.
A
U
A
Any
opposed
all
right
that
carries
unanimously.
We
will
hold
a
public
hearing
on
that
item
number
34
at
the
start
of
our
the
evening
segment
of
our
recess
board
meeting
on
Tuesday
September
20th.
That
public
hearing
will
begin
no
earlier
than
6
30.
and
if
you'd
like
to
speak
on
that
item,
you
can
do
so
by
registering
on
our
website
starting
today
or
call
703-228-3130.
A
So
we
just
voted
on
dozens
of
consent,
agenda
items
that
includes
everything
from
minor
site
plan,
amendments
to
use
permits
to
ordinance
amendments
and
more.
We
put
them
on
consent
because
they're
non-controversial,
but
that
doesn't
mean
they
aren't
important.
So
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
talk
about
some
of
those
more
noteworthy
items.
First,
one
of
the.
A
Let
me
well
bro
if
we
don't
have
a
slide
to
match
it,
but
I
will
note
that
we
approved
several
site
plan
amendments
modifying
conditions
to
allow
conversion
from
ground
floor
retail
to
retail
equipment
uses.
What
does
that
mean
in
Context?
That's
important
because
we
are
working
on
allowing
for
adaptation
of
Arlington's
buildings,
especially
our
commercial
buildings,
to
be
more,
we
are
trying
to
be
more
Innovative
and
creative
at
a
time,
especially
when
office
space
is
experiencing
high
levels
of
vacancy.
A
So
we
really
wanted
to
I
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
provide
a
shout
out
for
our
Economic
Development
and
planning
staff,
who
have
been
working
together
to
create
a
more
resilient
commercial,
real
estate
market
in
an
era
of
high
office
vacancy
okay,
the
next
one
I
am
so
excited
about
this.
We
voted
just
now
to
approve
use
permits
at
three
sites
which
are
major
large-scale
quality
centers
all
together.
These
sites,
total
472
new
seats.
I
did
the
math
on
our
total
Child
Care
capacity,
at
least
as
of
the
start
of
2021.
A
This
is
really
exciting
and
we
know
we
have
seen
definite
results
of
our
efforts
to
make
it
easier
for
child
care
centers
to
open
in
Arlington.
This
was
taken
in
2019
are
really
paying
off,
but
this
is,
of
course,
an
opportunity
to
celebrate
these
providers
and
the
many
others
who
are
working
so
hard
to
provide
this
service.
That
is
incredibly
important
for
Economic
Opportunity,
for
child
development,
for
gender
equality
and
all
sorts
of
other
important
values
in
our
community.
It's
a
good
day
to
be
able
to
vote
for
that
collection
all
right.
A
We
also
approved
an
amendment
to
the
Arlington
Transit
Fair
ordinance.
We
are
reducing
the
transfer
fee
from
train
to
bus
to
zero
dollars.
It
is
really
important
to
us
to
reduce
barriers
to
public
transportation,
not
only
for
Equity,
but
because
this
is
one
of
our
biggest
efforts
to
tackle
climate
change.
Emissions
from
Transportation
represent
about
a
third
of
the
total
emissions
in
Arlington.
We
have
got
to
get
more
people
using
more
energy,
efficient
ways
of
traveling,
and
our
bus
system
is
great
to
do
that.
A
A
So
we're
really
excited
that
that
will
be
going
into
effect,
also
just
to
note
for
those
who
do
Drive,
Transportation
safety
and
our
vision,
zero
commitments
remain
a
top
priority,
and
so
we
voted
today
to
decrease
the
speed
limit
in
two
locations.
The
first
is
Fairfax
Drive
from
Arlington
Boulevard
to
North,
Barton,
Street
and
and
from
sis
Road
South
from
South
Carlin
Springs
Road
to
the
Fairfax
County
Line.
Those
are
areas
where
our
analysis,
in
particular
Vision
zero
lens,
suggests
to
us
that
there
are
opportunities
for
decreased
speed
to
help
reduce
conflicts
and
accidents.
A
A
We
know
that
speed
is
associated
with
crashes
in
a
significant
percent
of
the
time,
so
so
decreasing
speed
limits
is
one
strategy
of
many,
but
one
important
strategy
when
it
comes
to
fulfilling
that
vision
for
vision,
zero
and
finally,
we
accepted
we
are
excited
to
accept
a
ten
thousand
dollar
Grant
from
the
Virginia
tourism
Corporation,
particularly
its
Drive
grant
program.
This
is
going
to
allow
our
state
Arlington
team
to
develop
marketing
initiatives
highlighting
black
historic
sites,
businesses
and
itineraries
all
around
Arlington.
A
The
the
black
Arlington
experience
is
an
incredibly
representative
one
of
American
history,
and
we
are
really
excited
to
welcoming
more
tourists
to
learn
about
those
landmarks
and
narratives
all
right.
So
with
that
we
are
ready
to
move
into
our
regular
items.
Jacobs.
If
you
could
please
first
call
that
regular
item.
V
Thank
you,
madam
chair
this.
This
morning,
Tim
Murphy
is
here
to
present
and
Anthony
fusarelli
and
Jennifer.
Smith
are
also
available
over
to
you
Mr
Murphy.
U
The
study
area
possesses
a
glup
designation
of
service
commercial
and
the
applicant
requested
a
glup
Amendment
from
service
commercial
to
high
office
apartment
Hotel
in
July.
The
County
Board
authorized
advertisement
of
public
hearings
on
a
future
glup
Amendment
from
service
commercial
to
medium
office,
apartment
Hotel,.
U
When
considering
the
existing
planning
context
for
the
study
area,
it
is
important
to
note
that
individual
sector
plans
provide
planning
guidance
for
each
of
the
metro
station
areas,
while
other
sector
plans
within
the
Roslyn
balston
Corridor
provide
more
detailed
guidance
regarding
the
land,
use,
vision
and
other
topics
such
as
maximum
building
Heights.
The
existing
guidance
for
the
study
area
results
in
a
need
to
clarify
the
land
use
vision.
U
In
addition,
the
applicant
and
the
other
private
property
owner
on
the
Block
in
the
study
area
participated
in
the
lrpc
process
through
two
online
feedback
opportunities
and
two
lrpc
meetings.
Staff
participated
in
discussion
and
received
feedback
from
the
lrpc
and
the
community
on
draft
guiding
principles
and
modeling
scenarios
that
led
to
refinements
into
the
preliminary
staff
recommendations.
U
An
initial
set
of
draft
guiding
principles
were
based
on
adopted
County
Guidance,
including
the
general
land,
use
plans,
development
and
growth
goals,
and
they
were
shared
at
the
initial
online
engagement
session
and
the
principles
were
revised
during
the
study
process
to
incorporate
feedback
from
the
lrpc
and
the
community
feedback
throughout.
The
study
also
informed
the
development
of
recommendations
across
the
eight
different
elements,
land
use
and
building
design,
public
space,
Transportation
housing,
sustainability,
biophilic
design,
natural
resources
and
public
art.
U
To
develop
recommendations
related
to
the
glup
designation
of
medium
office,
apartment
hotel
and
building
Heights
staff
considered
the
study
area's
location
within
a
quarter
mile.
The
courthouse

station
and
also
within
an
area

General

and

with
the
surrounding
Skyline
and
nearby
areas.
U
The
study
area's
accessibility
by
all
modes
of
travel,
the
development
potential
that
could
be
achieved
under
a
building
height
and
its
ability
to
provide
considerable
additional
housing
opportunities
beyond
what
is
possible
under
the
existing
land
use
designation,
and
that
would
then
support
the
County's
housing
goals
and
establish
planning
practices
within
the
rosin.
Boston

near
the
edges
of

areas
have
often
been
based
on
extensive
Community
planning
processes
to
establish
that
guidance
along
with
other
areas
of
guidance.
U
When
considering
potential
building
massing
in
the
study
area,
staff
observed
that
a
building
with
Heights
of
15
and
16
stories
near
the
center
of
the
study
area
could
project

in
the
draft
staff
report
that,
if
the
block
of
existing
commercial
buildings
on
the
north
side
of
Wilson
Boulevard
were
to
redevelop
under
its
existing
zoning
up
to
45
feet
that
developed
depending
on
site
layout
and
building
design,
could
could
also
generate
Shadows.
That
project
onto

lower

Residential
Properties
north
of
Wilson
Boulevard.
U
U
U
U
When
considering
the
approximate
existing
building
Heights
within
the
area,
it's
important
to
note
that
much
of
the
development
that
has
existed
since
before
the
adoption
of
the
courthouse
sector
plan
addendum
and
the
sector.
The
courthouse
sector
plan,
which
was
adopted
in
1981,
is
lower
scale
commercial
development
of
approximately
one
to
three
stories.
More
recent
development
consists
of
taller
developments.
U
The
study
area
and
areas
to
the
East
toward
the
courthouse
Metro
station
are
within
the
boundaries
of
the
courthouse
sector
plan
and
the
courthouse
sector
plan
addendum,
and
these
planning
documents
did
not
provide
Building
height
guidance.
Heights
of
14
or
more
stories
can
be
seen
in
areas
closer
to
the
clinic.
U
Yeah
the
illustrative
modeling
included
in
the
study
document
illustrates
one
way
in
which
development
can
occur
consistent
with
the
guiding
principles
in
the
draft
study
document
recommendations,
the
modeling
shown
here
could
have
contained
approximately
270
dwelling
units
and
sixteen
thousand
square
feet
of
ground
floor
space
for
commercial
uses.
U
U
The
modeling,
under
both
12
stories
and
16
stories,
incorporate
additional
density
above
the
base
density
of
115
units
per
acre,
and
so
the
staff
recommendation
of
12
stories,
as
well
as
16
modeling
of
16
stories,
allows
for
a
significant
level
of
additional
development
development
potential
above
the
base
density.
U
In
the
case
of
the
staff
recommendation,
almost
a
100
increase,
thus
creating
important
housing
opportunities
and
an
opportunity
to
expand
the
housing
Supply
within
the
study
area,
even
though
the
development
potentially
does
not
maximize
the
maximum
height
within
the
zoning
District.
U
Additionally,
saf
acknowledges
the
planning
commission's
recommendations
related
to
the
bullseye
approach
and
sector
plan
updates
and
as
part
of
the
scoping
of
the
five-year
review
of
the
comprehensive
plan,
a
project.
That's
on
this
year's
planning
division,
work
program
staff
intend
to
explore
these
questions
and
topics.
U
A
Terrific,
thank
you
so
much
Mr
Murphy
and
please
please
we'll
have
them.
I
am
delighted
to
welcome
commissioner
sarley
from
the
Planning
Commission
so
glad
to
have
you
in
person,
sir,
and
turn
it
over
to
you
to
give
a
presentation
for
the
Planning
Commission.
X
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chair,
Crystal
and
good
morning
board.
My
name
is
Leo
sarley
and
I'm.
Here
on
behalf
of
the
Planning
Commission.
As
a
Mr
Murphy
introduced,
we
had
our
meeting
on
September
7th
a
week
ago,
where
we
discussed
this
topic.
Staff
presented
the
study,
followed
by
the
applicant's
presentation
we
heard
from
19
of
our
neighbors
in
a
summary
of
the
public
comments
is
included
in
the
letter
that
was
addressed
to
the
board
on
September
7th.
X
Also,
the
commission
supports
the
glub
study
with
which
we
believe
advances
Arlington's
goals
of
building
more
housing,
particularly
along
one
of
the
major
transportation
Subway
Lines.
We
were
careful
not
to
wander
into
details
that
will
probably
be
addressed
during
the
sprc
process.
All
the
same,
there
was
an
early
interest
in
the
discussion
of
housing,
size,
housing,
affordability
and
the
projected
Metro
elevator
Advance
adjacent
to
the
property
scheduled
for
CIP,
FY,
26
or
fy29.
You
know
to
be
verified.
X
On
the
other
hand,
we
have
concerns
regarding
the
impact
of
the
Envision
massing
and
height
and
what
they
will
do
to
the
neighborhood
and
the
neighboring
properties.
The
PC
did
spend
some
time
discussing
the
adequacy
of
the
glove
study
process,
the
outcome
of
which
is
that
more
General
planning
is
warranted.
X
Right-Sized
right
size
plan
encompassing
a
sector
whole
area
recorders,
will
help
us
avoid
relying
on
the
reactive
and
somewhat
inefficient
small
block
sized
glov
studies
that
are
best
suited
as
a
for
a
last
resort
tool.
Some
of
the
existing
plans
are
several
decades
owed
and
need,
updates
and
better
reflect
our
evolved
Community
priorities
and
Lifestyles.
For
instance,
the
definition
of
walkability
has
changed
significantly
since
the
70s
80s
and
even
90s.
X
To
this
final
point,
the
Planning
Commission
recommends
that
our
current
plans
be
updated
and
maintained
at
regular
intervals.
I
hope
this
provides
you
with
some
of
the
insights
into
the
conversation
of
the
Planning,
Commission
and
I'm,
trying
not
to
repeat
what
Mr
Murphy
array
presented
and
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
so.
A
Thank
you
so
much
yeah,
please
do
stay
close
by
and
I
appreciate
the
summary
all
right,
Mr,
Jacobs
I
do
believe.
We
have
some
public
speakers,
so
I'll
turn
it
to
you
to
call
the
first
of.
A
Fascinating
all
right
virtual
Casey
Nolan.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us.
Y
Y
I
think
that
raising
the
height
designation
for
the
site
to
the
courthouse,
West
team's
intention
will
have
multiple
positive
benefits
and
also
almost
no
consequences.
First,
starting
with
the
lack
of
consequences.
Apartment
dwellers
rarely
have
school-aged
children,
meaning
that
more
Apartments
will
have
minimal
impact
on
local
school
populations.
Y
Additionally,
apartment
dwellers
are
rarely
car
owners,
meaning
that
additional
Apartments
would
have
little
impact
on
traffic
patterns.
Moreover,
I
think
that
the
slightly
longer
Shadows
cast
by
a
slightly
taller
building
and
hardly
be
counted
as
a
consequence.
What
are
the
benefits?
More
taxpayers,
more
people
to
frequent
local
businesses,
some
of
which
have
been
struggling
more
people
to
work
at
local
companies,
more
people
to
rent
local
office
space,
also
a
struggle
more
people
to
contribute
to
local
discourse
and
more
people
to
diversify
Arlington.
Y
We
are
not
talking
about
a
quiet
residential
part
of
our
neighborhood.
This
is
a
high
traffic
site
at
the
center
of
the
RB
Corridor,
about
five
minutes
from
both
the
Clarendon
Courthouse
Metro
stations,
surrounded
by
offices
and
Retail,
and
mere
blocks
from
other
tall
apartment
buildings.
I
think
we,
we
are
using
a
very
narrow
definition
of
immediate
when
we
say
there
are
no
tall
buildings
in
the
immediate
area.
Y
Also,
people
do
not
operate
in
bullseyes.
They
operate
in
corridors
walking
to
and
from
the
various
shopping,
eating
and
other
Leisure
opportunities
between
courthouse
and
Clarendon,
given
its
central
location,
I,
frequently
walk
by
the
site,
currently
a
rat,
infested,
eyesore
and
every
time
I
do
I
wonder
why
this
process
has
and
continues
to
take
so
long,
especially
when
the
difference
between
the
County's
recommendation
and
the
courthouse
West
team
desire
is,
in
my
opinion,
pretty
trivial,
especially
as
shown
by
the
County's
own
diagram.
Y
A
Z
Good
morning,
thank
you,
I'm
William,
B,
Lawson
Jr
I
represent
Virginia
Smith.
She
owns
the
used
car
lot.
That
is
currently
not
part
of
the
application
property.
The
reason
I
came
here
is
I.
Want
you
to
know
that
she
is
willing
to
sell,
but
she'll
have
a
very
big
tax
hit.
Z
Therefore,
she's
looking
for
replacement
property
to
do
a
tax
deferred
exchange,
she
actually
did
have
a
property,
but
the
process
has
taken
quite
a
while
and
therefore
she
lost
it
as
far
as
the
Planning
Commission
recommendation,
I
think
you're
more
likely
Casey's
more
likely
to
get
her
property
with
that
recommendation
and
as
far
as
additional
height
it
doesn't
mean
that
anything
approval
be
that
height,
but
it
does
give
your
Planning
Commission
the
flexibility
to
evaluate
whether
or
not
it's
appropriate
and
sometimes
height
actually
has
less
impact
on
neighboring
property
than
does
lower
Mass.
Z
P
Good
morning
again,
I'm
Adam,
Thiel,
independent
candidate
for
Arlington,
County,
Board
I,
just
want
to
say
I
pretty
much.
Second,
everything
that
Casey
Nolan
said
earlier.
That's
exactly
my
point,
really
don't
look
at
Clarendon
and
Courthouse
as
they
are
today.
Look
at
them
as
they
should
be.
Both
of
those
neighborhoods
have
much
greater
potential,
especially
together
recognized
as
one
neighborhood.
As
the
current
name
of
the
Clarendon
Courthouse
civic
association
recognizes
a
courthouse.
West
site
at
16
stories
helps
to
bring
those
two
neighborhoods
together
as
one
as
they
should
be.
P
It's
never
really
struck
me
as
a
bullseye
Concept
in
the
first
place,
I've
walked
from
Boston
to
Roslyn
and
back
and
forth
and
everywhere
in
between
tens
of
thousands
of
times
it
seems
like
and
at
no
point
did
I
think
gee
this
site.
This
Courthouse
West,
should
be
anything
less
than
any
other
building
along
this
route,
served
by
two
Metro
stations
and
a
dozen
bus
routes
at
least
bike
Lanes
sidewalks
everything
else.
A
AB
Thank
you
very
much
for
letting
me
speak
to
the
board
today.
My
name
is
Jason
Schwartz
and
I'm.
A
resident
living
in
Courthouse
I
strongly
support
the
glop
Amendment
change
to
allow
for
this
site
to
be
permitted
to
16
stories.
Some
of
the
biggest
concerns
I
have
living
in
Arlington
are
safety
and
housing
and
affordability
for
safety.
I've
taken
over
100
Capital
bike
show
trips
in
the
last
year
past
this
site
going
to
and
from
my
school
in
Boston.
AB
The
bonus
density
in
sentence
will
benefit
the
community
to
improve
safety
such
as
providing
wider,
sidewalks
and
other
much
needed
transport
infrastructure.
The
additional
housing
units
will
induce
more
non-vehicle
trips
as
there's
only
a
five
minute:
walk
to
the
Metro,
more
people
walking
and
biking
create
safer
streetscapes
I'm
also
very
concerned
about
housing,
affordability.
We
are
in
a
housing
crisis,
there's
simply
not
enough
housing
to
meet
the
demand.
AB
The
Metropolitan
Washington
Council
of
governments
states
that
the
DC
region
faces
a
75
000
unit
shortfall
in
this
decade
and
in
a
recent
Arlington
Housing
study
stated
quote
the
inability
of
the
county
to
house
Prime
working
age,
adults
and
households
earning
less
than
120
percent
of
the
air.
Very
median
income
at
the
same
rate
as
in
Prior
years,
poses
a
threat
to
its
long-term
community
and
economic
sustainability.
AB
Building
to
16
stories
in
this
location
is
the
textbook
example
of
smart
growth.
What
an
opportunity
to
build
housing
in
the
most
transient
and
in
many
Rich
area
in
the
state
of
Virginia,
with
limited
negative
impacts
to
the
surrounding
community,
and
you
can
see
the
picture
where
the
traffic
has
actually
been
getting
better
in
Arlington
in
many
corridors.
AB
What
an
opportunity
to
add
housing
to
Prime
land
area
or
to
so
desperately
needed
and
to
give
more
people
the
chance
to
add
to
Arlington's
Community
fabric
I.
Urge
members
of
the
board
to
follow
the
planning
commission's
recommendation
to
adopt
the
additional
provision
that
that
a
site
plan
review
committee
addressing
any
project
proposed
for
the
site
may
consider
a
mixed-use
residential
height
of
up
to
16
stories.
AB
I
urge
the
board
to
think
long
term
and
to
consider
the
most
pressing,
pressing
issues
at
hand.
Concerns
of
Shadows
and
building
Aesthetics
can
easily
be
mitigated,
however,
not
so
much
for
the
deeply
concerning
lackluster
housing
production.
Arlington's
growth
can
be
a
net
positive
for
the
community.
You
must
accommodate
this
growth
in
the
most
sustainable,
Equitable
and
safest
way
possible.
Thank
you
and
I
yield
their
major.
My
time.
AC
Good
morning,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
staff.
Thank
you
I'm.
Sorry,
I
was
late.
My
name
is
Anne.
Bodine
I'm
speaking
today
on
behalf
of
arlingtonis
for
our
sustainable
future
or
ASF
ASF
is
not
is
asking
you
not
amend
the
glove
for
this
parcel
from
service
commercial
to
medium
office
apartment
hotel
for
the
following
reasons.
AC
AC
Every
month
you
vote
on
code
exceptions
for
more
infill,
more
massing,
fewer
setbacks,
reduced
parking
ratios
or
penthouses
that
don't
count
towards
gross
floor
area.
Such
massive
gifting
to
developers
is
short-changing
residents
and
is
not
sustainable
on
Courthouse
West
12
stories,
much
less
16
is
even
before
site
planning
piles
on
new
density.
AC
This
is
not
a
path
to
true
and
responsive,
affordable
housing.
It's
not
the
path
to
Green
Building,
it's
not
the
path
to
new
parks
or
new
schools
that
we
urgently
need
until
the
county
settles
on
a
new
formula
where
the
public
sees
full
benefits
from
the
infill
up
front
of
forever.
Asf's
opposition
remains.
We
ask
that
you
provide
here
a
site-specific
fiscal
and
environmental
and
a
demographic
impact
analysis
and
that
you
project
a
demographic
impact
in
a
corridor
that
is
only
five
percent
black.
AC
How
do
we
explain
that
already
low
number
in
our
newly
developed
areas
isn't
density
the
key
to
diversity,
absent
any
analysis?
We
do
not
agree
to
the
upward
ratcheting
of
density
I'd
like
to
add
one
comment
about
the
process.
This
special
Gap
comes
with
an
understanding
of
24
20
additional,
affordable
housing,
but
it's
not
it's
not
bestowed
to
the
community.
In
fact,
in
this
process
the
community
doesn't
get
any
actual
benefits,
but
we
are
going
from
zero
percent
residential
units
per
acre.
AC
Then
we,
then
we
jumped
up
to
115
units
per
acre
with
the
base
density
for
the
new
zoning
or
the
new
land
use,
and
then
staff
was
adding
on
an
additional
200
or
adding
up
to
220
units
per
acre
and
the
Planning
Commission
went
to
270
units
for
per
acre,
so
we
went
from
zero
units
per
acre
residential
to
270
units
per
acre
and
we're
getting
no
benefits
until
site
planning.
So
I
asked
you
to
consider
this
process
overall
for
other
future
plans.
Thanks.
Thank.
F
About
the
issues
of
traffic
and
wild
traffic
in
the
research
is
going
down
and
people
who
are
owning
cars,
the
the
traffic,
the
three,
the
three
traffic
accidents
that
I
have
personally
experienced
our
delivery
drivers
and,
let's
be
honest,
people
in
our
community
I'm
in
the
Clarendon
Courthouse
community
and
member
of
the
civic
association.
F
We
do
order
and
you
know
there
is
a
lot
of
traffic-
and
you
know
the
Danville
street
is
a
thoroughfare
through
byways
and
Google,
and
they
do
use
that
and
they
come
speeding
down
there
in
terms
of
affordable
housing.
I
really
don't
see
a
true
and
honest
commitment
from
any
developer
ever
to
provide
that
affordable
housing,
providing
density
I've,
never
seen
it
anywhere,
not
in
New
York,
not
in
London,
not
in
Mumbai,
not
in
any
place
across
the
world.
F
Where
density
equates
to
affordability,
affordability,
you
need
programs
in
Europe,
it's
very
often
too,
where
you
have
shared
programs
read
to
buy,
and
this
is
done
by
the
local
government,
in
partnership
with
developers
in
partnership
with
tenants
who
then
become
owners,
and
it's
not
nothing
to
do
with
taxpayers,
so
it
wouldn't.
But
where?
Where
are
we
thinking
about
that?
Affordable
housing?
Also,
there
are
plenty
of
two-bedroom
one-bedroom
apartments.
F
I
I
have
two
elementary
school
children
and
most
of
the
people
in
our
school
live
in
apartments
and
sadly,
they
then
have
to
leave
as
their
children
grow
and
need
more
space
if
they
have
children
of
two
different
genders.
Where
is
that
three-bedroom
housing?
Where
is
that
housing
for
affordability,
for
our
teachers?
When
we
asked
the
developer
in
the
June
16
B
July
16th
meeting?
What?
How
much
are
these
apartments
going
to
cost?
It
was
an
immediate
response
of.
F
Oh,
we
haven't
done
the
design
we
don't
know
but
I'm
sure
in
their
business
plan
they
knew
exactly
what
was
their
bottom
line
per
square
foot
I
implore
the
county
to
not
consider
16.
I
would
like
to
go
back
to
the
original
first
survey
that
they
did,
and
the
community
members
from
Lion,
Village
and
ccca
said
as
a
popular
vote,
low
density.
F
W
Yes,
hello,
I
live
in
Boston
in
that
area,
I'm
just
talking
about
the
open
space
on
this
one,
the
public
space.
This
document
describes
the
development
of
a
public
space
that
will
be
accurate
along
Clarendon
Boulevard.
The
space
will
be
adjacent
to
the
intersection
of
Clarendon
Boulevard
and
North
Danville
street
directly
opposite
some
of
our
town
out
some
about
three-story
townhouses,
the
it's
exactly
which
states
a
potential
public
space
could
allow
for
a
mix
of
green
spaces
and
hardscapes
with
native
trees
and
seedy.
So
that's
just
it's
open.
W
It
is
therefore
important
to
recognize
that
any
such
public
space
could
have
much
Hearts
today,
but
little
green
space.
The
public
space
will
contain,
could
contain
fewer
native
few
or
no
native
shrubs,
low
vegetation
or
natural
areas.
That's
the
fourth
pollinated
population,
sustainability
and
livability.
This
could
be
a
paid
plasma
and
probably
will
be
the
document
states
that
a
future
Park
Master
planning
process
would
provide
opportunities
of
public
input
and
engagement
regarding
the
detailed
planning
and
design
of
the
public
space.
Further
says
the
developer.
W
Republic
of
a
future
development
will
be
the
developer
of
a
future.
Development
will
be
responsible
for
conducting
the
public
space
process
in
coordination
with
Stan
County
staff.
However,
one
can
expect,
without
doubt
of
future
development
for
official
development
to
submit
a
site
plan
that
is
nothing
but
mold
grass.
A
paved
class
I
had
a
few
trees
and
seeds
in
the
public
space.
This
is
the
least
expensive
type
of
public
space
to
construct
and
maintain-
and
we
see
this
everywhere
at
every
plastic
or
just
about
every
Plaza.
W
You
ever
see
along
the
Metropolitan
Crystal
City
everywhere
sells
Amazon
being
an
exception.
There
have
been
many
presses,
this
type
of
property
on
Forest
space
design
in
every
instance,
in
which
I,
in
which
I'm
aware
the
developer
has
refused
to
substantially
alter
its
original
plan,
regardless
of
any
input
that
the
public
has
made
provided
during
the
design
process.
W
Excuse
me,
the
glass
of
loss
of
car
that
has
too
many
too
much
paper
too
many
plazas
too
little
green
space
too
few
natural
areas
to
enhance
this
kind
of
the
cowardice,
sustainability
and
livability.
Please
vote
to
make
a
motion
and
vote
to
require
that
the
study
documents
specify
the
public
space
will
primarily
be
a
green
space
with
native
trees,
shrubs
that
low
vegetation
that
will
support
pollinators.
W

AD
Madam,
chair
County
Board,
thanks
for
letting
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
I
chat
with
neighbors
like
co-owners
and
renters
in
my
neighborhood
what
they
want,
and
it
seems
like.
The
majority-
wants
four
to
six
stories
before
I
got
involved
with
the
local
politics
in
2021
I
heard
stories
from
my
neighbors
about
how
1994
Like
Home
Depot
wanted
to
be
built
near
Whole
Foods
by
the
Clarendon
Crossing,
and
it
looks
like
a
lot
of
residents.
You
know
came
out
and
the
board
you
know
realized.
AD
AD
The
question
is,
like
is
a
board
having
the
same
engagement
like
the
boards
did
in
the
past
like
1994
decades
ago
and
I'm
just
curious,
because
I
started
the
Civ
I,
don't
have
much
history
with
these
Civic
associations
and
I've
been
to
the
Clarendon
sector
plan
Wendy's
this
one
and
I've
watched
the
Pentagon
sector
plan
and
in
each
instance
the
developers
got
what
they
wanted
and
like
the
residents
that
were
protesting
lost
so
I
guess.
My
question
is
the
process.
AD
If
it
just
seems
like
all
these
developments,
are
you
got
like
the
homeowners
who
are
near
the
site?
You
will
be
impacted
and
then
it's
them
versus
the
developers,
the
County
Board,
the
county
staff,
the
county
manager,
the
Planning
Commission,
the
planning
staff
and
The
non-profits
Who
come
out
too
so
I
guess
like
one
of
the
last
meetings
with
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
planning
staff
and
the
County
Board,
you
know.
Even
though
people
came
out
talking
about
the
six
stories,
there
was
no
discussion
about
lower
density.
AD
AD
My
question
is
like:
why
waste
our
time
I
mean
if
why
do
public
invasion,
that
the
board
knows
what
they're
going
to
vote
for
like
far
in
advance,
then
you
know,
like
I,
guess,
what's
the
incentive
to
get
involved
with
these
local
politics,
if
we
have
no
voice,
I
mean
it
just
seems
like
this:
is
all
the
developer
being
run
and
this
development
you
know
in
any
City
like
or
County
it's
a
marathon?
It's
not
a
Sprint.
AD
If
you
look
around
Clarendon,
it's
being
redeveloped
everywhere,
so
to
say,
like
you
know,
this
has
to
be
built
because
we
need
all
these
units.
I
mean
there's
going
to
be
developments,
we
don't
even
know
about,
and
if
this
gets
passed
you
know
all
the
developments
down
toward
Roslyn
will
be
requesting
the
same
like
12
to
17
stories.
So
I
don't
see
the
argument.
If
you
go
down
to
Tupelo
Honey,
they
got
a
six-story
construction
there
with
the
residents
over
the
build
over
the
retail.
AD
A
AD
AD
AE
Okay,
hi
I'm,
John
nusso
I
am
the
government
Affairs
manager
at
the
Arlington
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
I
am
a
courthouse
resident
for
the
last
18
months,
I'm
here
to
reiterate
all
the
chambers
support
for
the
maximum
height
cap
of
16
stores
on
this
site
within
the
staff's
recommendation
of
c-0-2.5.
AE
As
stated
in
my
testimony
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
in
our
December
2021
letter,
the
chamber
has
been
a
broad
supporter
of
increased
density
in
Arlington,
particularly
in
the
transit
witch
corridors
like
Boston
Verizon
Corridor.
We
also
supporters
of
flexible
land
policy
that
can
best
attract
additional
investment
and
residents
to
Arlington.
The
courthouse
website
is
a
perfect
opportunity
to
do
just
that
as
we're
in
other
testimonies.
This
is
walking
distance
of
two
Metro
stations.
AE
It
has
access
to
eight
different
art,
Metro
Bus
Lines,
only
a
quarter
mile
removed
from
not
just
the
metro
station,
but
the
centers
are
two
very
vibrant
Urban
villages
in
courthouse
in
Clarendon.
In
order
to
increase
affordability
going
forward
for
our
community,
we
must
remove
barriers
to
the
type
of
development.
That's
going
to
create
additional
housing
units
and
a
cap
on
density
is
a
perfect
example
of
that.
AE
We
do
really
hope
that
you
know
going
forward.
We
should
remind
everyone
that
we
have
a
chance
to
refine
this
process
in
the
4.1
site
plan
procedure,
but
going
forward.
We
think
that
a
maximum
High
cap
is
16.
Toys
is
in
the
best
entrance
of
the
community
and
the
project
going
forward.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
that
you'll
be
made
with
my
time.
Thank.
M
We
have
been
placated
by
members
of
the
board
Planning
Commission
and
staff,
that
if
the
board
does
not
cap
height
at
this
stage,
then
something
under
60
stories
may
be
considered
during
the
site
plan
process.
Is
that
fair
to
the
developer
applicant
staff
and
the
community
and
everyone
else
involved
involved
in
the
sprc
process?
After
all
that
time,
work
and
sweat
will
the
board
truly
be
willing
to
tell
everyone
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
for
a
shorter
and
less
dense
development?
The
real
answer
is
a
resounding
no.
M
That
is
why
a
cap
on
height
and
density
must
be
set
at
this
time.
It
is
only
fair
thing
to
do
for
everyone.
In
addition,
drawing
out
this
decision
will
only
breathe
apathy
and
cynicism
in
the
community
where
this
this
development
is
located.
The
ccca
voted
overwhelmingly
for
a
height
cap
of
six
stories.
M
This
is
consistent
with
the
survey
that
limited
choices
to
three
Heights
conducted
by
staff,
where
the
majority
of
respondents
preferred
six
stories,
as
the
staff
study
found
anything
that
height
would
diverge
from
the
surrounding
Skyline
and,
and
that
is
no
precedent
for
a
16-story
building
directly
abutting
low-rise
residential
in
Arlington.
This
will
set
bad
precedent
for
all
the
county.
This
is
a
narrow
area
between
two
low-rise
residential
neighborhoods,
and
he
thought
to
anything
taller
would
stick
out
like
a
sore
thrum
increased
population
in
this
area
is
congested.
M
Tight
space
area
will
have
a
disruptive
ripple
effect
into
the
neighborhoods
and
further
pressurize
this
community.
Already.
There
are
few
and
overused
parks
and
Open
Spaces
limited
schools,
no
Community
Center
fights
over
dog
poop,
pedestrian
and
bike
accidents,
parking
problems,
and
the
list
goes
on.
The
small
area
that
encompasses
the
courthouse
and
Clarendon
Metro
stops
is
already
planned
to
receive
multitudes
of
new
residents
and
tense
tall
developments
around
the
metro
stops.
M
M
You
claim
that
equity
T
is
one
of
your
priorities,
then,
for
the
sake
of
an
equity
Equitable
quality
of
life,
you
cannot
increase
height
and
density
at
this
location
without
a
cumulative
impact
of
all
these
changes
happening
at
once,
especially
not
without
adding
new
parts,
Community
Center
facilities,
schools,
parking
dog
parks,
Green,
Space
infrastructure
and
so
forth,
just
as
you
permitted
only
low-rise
mixed
use.
That
is
only
five
stories
between
Wilson
and
Clarendon
Boulevard,
where
it's
about
residential
areas
and
mixed
use
on
either
side
between
Rosalind
and
Courthouse.
M
This
area
is
no
different
and
the
same
must
be
done
at
this
location
in
between
these
two
same
streets.
Otherwise,
you'll
be
referring
to
mix
to
maximize
the
interest
of
the
developers
over
that
of
your
own
citizens
and
you'll
be
treating
citizens
who
live
within
blocks
of
each
other
inequitably.
I
urge
you
to
cap
this
development
at
six
stories
and
have
it
tapered
for
the
designs
of
this
height
that
were
developed
by
the
county
staff
study.
M
J
M
O
Thank
you
good
morning,
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Scott
pedowitz
I
am
a
Virginia
government,
Affairs
manager
at
the
apartment
and
Office
Building
Association
of
Metropolitan
Washington,
and
also
a
more
than
14
and
a
half
year
resident
of
Courthouse
I
encourage
the
County
Board
to
adopt
the
courthouse
to
West
special
glove
study
with
language
that
allows
for
consideration
of
heights
up
to
16
stories,
which
is
consistent
with
the
proposed
Co
2.5
zoning
district
and
the
medium
office
apartment
Hotel.
O
The
special
glove
study
process
feels
like
a
site
plan
process,
but
it's
not
so
the
maximum
height
in
density
will
still
have
to
be
earned
through
Community
benefits
and
the
4.1
site
plan
process
will
be
a
venue
for
tailoring
tapering
and
molding
the
project.
But
but
none
of
this
can
happen
if
we
constrain
our
process
from
even
considering
it.
A
question
was
raised
about
the
distinction
between
the
zoning
as
code
and
the
glove
study
as
policy
and
in
as
much
as
I
am
all
for
being
flexible
with
policy,
especially
dated
policies.
O
I,
don't
expect
that
we
will
adopt
a
policy
and
plan
to
disregard
it
straight
away.
As
such,
adopting
height
guidance
below
the
zoning
district
will
be
a
de
facto
cap
and
will
likely
preclude
consideration
of
even
having
a
portion
of
the
building
be
taller
in
exchange
for
a
more
tapered
structure
overall
or
in
exchange
for
additional
Community
benefits.
O
Questions
have
also
been
raised
about
how
such
a
structure
would
fit
into
its
surroundings,
often
with
an
implication
that
an
apartment
building
and
its
residents
would
be
an
imposition
on
others
in
the
neighborhood,
and
nothing
could
be
further
from
the
truth.
Courthouse
is
a
Transit
and
service
dense
neighborhood
that
is
already
home
to
more
than
7
000
people,
84
percent
of
the
housing
units
and
Courthouse
or
rentals
and
many
buildings
are
high-rises.
This
sort
of
site
plan
project
could
be
brought
under
the
requested
weapon.
O
Zoning
would
fit
into
our
neighborhood
beautifully
and,
let's
not
lose
sight
of
the
people
who
live
here,
as
I
said
before,
I've
lived
as
a
renter
in
a
courthouse
apartment
for
more
than
14
and
a
half
years,
which
is
more
than
one-third
of
my
entire
life
to
date.
In
that
time,
I've
endeavored
to
be
an
active
participant
in
our
community's
life,
including
service
to
our
neighborhoods.
O
AF
Good
morning
my
name
is
Maureen
Coffey
I'm,
a
renter
in
the
Clarendon
Courthouse
civic
association
area,
a
member
of
the
civic
association
and
a
former
Secretary
of
the
Civic
Federation
I
am
here
to
support
the
planning
commission's
recommendation
of
16
stories
for
the
special
Club
first
and
foremost,
I
think
we
should
remember
that
this
is
a
special
glop
and
not
a
site
plan.
There
is
still
a
whole
other
process
working
out
the
specifics
that
is
going
to
be
very
important
in
getting
to
a
final
decision
here.
AF
Housing
isn't
a
crisis
in
Arlington
and,
unfortunately,
the
impacts
of
the
development
decisions
made
today
are
already
too
late
for
tomorrow.
We're
talking
about
five
plus
years
from
now
the
land
use
plan
and
eventual
building
on
the
courthouse.
West
site
will
stand
for
decades
and
will
Define
the
area
going
forward.
AF
I
used
to
live
in
Quincy
Plaza,
a
building,
basically
right
in
the
middle
of
the
Boston
and
Virginia
Square
Metro
stations,
a
five
to
seven
minute,
walk
to
either
but
directly
on
the
corridor.
That
building
is
similarly
placed
to
where
this
parcel
is
in
the
courthouse.
Clarendon
area
I
live
on
the
16th
floor
of
that
building,
which
was
a
22-story
building.
AF
If
we
cannot
build
the
highest
density
here,
a
five
minute
walk
from
two
Metro
stations.
Where
will
we
build
it?
The
sector
plan
and
addendum
that
are
governing
this
area
were
both
established
before
I
was
born
this
summer.
Well,
I
was
trying
to
find
a
new
lease
in
the
same
area.
I
experienced
firsthand
the
consequences
of
not
having
enough
housing
after
applying
four
units
that
were
open,
I
would
be
told
that
someone
else
had
been
able
to
offer
200
300
or
more
per
month
over
the
asking
rent.
AF
This
is
a
direct
result
of
insufficient
housing
in
our
area.
The
county
has
a
chance
here
to
begin
making
changes
that
allow
us
in
the
coming
years
to
bring
our
supply
into
better
alignment
with
demand
that
requires
more
units
and
particularly
where
the
community
has
agreed
that
they
belong
on
our
walkable
Metro,
accessible
Urban
corridor.
AF
It
takes
a
lot
of
time,
a
lot
of
planning
to
be
at
these
meetings
to
feel
informed
and
to
feel
like
you
can
have
an
opinion
just
because
the
people
who
are
able
to
show
up
and
who
are
able
to
put
their
comments
on
record
are
saying
four
to
six.
Does
that
not
mean
that
represents
the
entirety
of
the
community
of
the
Clarendon
Courthouse
area?
Thank
you
very
much.

member
of
the
Clarendon
Courthouse
civic
association
and
was
an
officer
of
that
Association
during
the
Home
Depot
consideration.
30
years
ago,
we
bought
our
home
on
Danville
street
across
the
street
from
what
we're
then
dozens
of
single-family
homes
now
known
as
Market
Commons.
Two
years
after
we
bought
our
house,
Home
Depot
secretly
acquired
the
homes
across
the
street
to
tear
them
down
and
build
a
mega
Home
Depot.
AA
AA
Before
knows
that,
that's
what
it'll
be
this
building
would
destroy
the
character
of
our
Urban
Village
that
we
fought
so
hard
for
it
takes
the
village
out
of
Urban
Village
and
just
leaves
Urban.
It
would
be
by
far
the
tallest
building
in
the
area
towering
over
almost
all
others,
but
not
for
long.
The
decision
you
make
today
will
set
the
stage
for
the
next
30
years.
If
you
approve
a
16-story
building,
every
other
landowner
nearby
will
be
motivated
to
tear
down
their
quaint
four
to
six
story.
AA
Building
and
build
a
high-rise
that'll
be
the
economic
thing
to
do.
There
are
already
proposals
to
do
exactly
that
that
are
under
discussion
with
the
staff,
and
there
are
proposals,
literally
in
the
planning
stages
for
even
higher
Heights
than
this.
No
urban
planner
thinks
up
clubbing.
A
single
block
is
good
planning.
You
must
look
at
cumulative
impacts.
Once
you
accept
this
proposal,
you
will
set
the
president
for
all
high
rises
to
come
and
there
will
be
many.
The
our
civic
association
opposes
single
parcel
clubbing
and
rejects
a
16-story
construction
in
the
name
of
affordable
housing.
AA
If
you
allow
four
extra
stories
from
12
to
16
12
to
16
that
adds
70
additional
units,
but
only
four
units,
one
to
four
units
of
affordable
housing
per
floor.
Let's
be
honest
one
to
four
from
the
developer.
That
means
one
so
you're
gonna
get
four
extra,
affordable
houses
all
in
the
name
of
this
project.
In
the
reality,
it's
nothing
more
than
window
dressing
and
it
does
not
solve
the
problem.
Please
save
our
Urban
Village.
You
fought
so
hard
for
these.

I've
been
an
Arlington
resident
for
32
years
in
the
corridor
and
23
years,
and
no
comment
on
the
percentage
of
my
age
at
Courthouse
Metro
station
I
am
here
today
to
ask
you
to
defer
this
to
either
Tuesday
or
for
two
months,
because
you
need
more
information
from
the
manager.
First
I
ask
you
to
instruct
the
manager
to
provide
you,
the
County,
Board
and
Arlington
taxpayers,
with
a
public
transpire,
verifiable
report,
accounting
for
the
status
of
the
over
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
developer
contributions
to
the
courthouse.
AG
West

elevator.
3.5
million
is
not
chump
change.
We
are
not
suckers,
and
neither
should
you
I
also
ask
you
to
instruct
the
county
manager
to
come
up
with
a
plan
before
you
approve
this
action
to
jump
start
the
second
elevator
at
Courthouse
West

in
2012,
the
clean
energy
building
provided
for
1.6
million
dollars
for
the
courthouse
West
Metro
station
Improvement
in
2014,
the
Hyatt
Hotel
provided
1.55
million
in
an
earmarked
contribution
for
the
courthouse
West
Metro
Station
in
2001.
AG
The
Navy
League
was
the
first
one
to
contribute
and
I
believe
it
was.
Ten
thousand
dollars
because
I
think
I
got
it
for
the
courthouse
Metro
Improvement
and
there
was
another
180
thousand
dollars
for
Courthouse
improvements,
where's
the
money,
that's
the
question,
I
have
for
you
to
ask
and
get
a
report.
Is
it
still
with
the
county
or
did
the
County
transfer
it
to
Ramada?
How
much
money
is
there?
Do
we
get
interest
on
this?
The
developers
have
contributed-
probably
3.5
million.
What's
it
worth
now
and
why
can't
that
be
used
for
the
elevator?
AG
Now
the
Vision
study
I
could
be
buried
on
Mars
before
you
will
see
a
park
in
that
in
that
parking
lot
we
have
been
promised
that
Metro,
it's
not
a
question
of
just
Courthouse
that
Metro
and
that
elevator
is
the
only
Ada
access
to
the
Metro
platform.
This
it's
ridiculous.
It
is
time
to
move
on
it
and
you
should
not
move
on
this
item
until
you
get
verification
that
it
is
going
forward
further.
AG
You
should
not
allow
any
development
or
site
plan
to
proceed
unless
it
is
clear
that
the
people
it
houses
will
not
be
subject
to
just
that
current
elevator,
that
there
will
be
a
new
elevator
Improvement.
No
new
elevator,
no
second
elevator,
no
new
projects,
that's
the
way
you
should
do
it.
It
is
time
for
you
to
use
the
leverage
with
wamata
with
the
manager
whom
I
respect
and
consider
to
be
a
great
financial
advisor
as
well
to
get
this
done.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
attention.
C
AH
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
I
apologize,
I
lost
track
of
time.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
all
for
letting
the
residents
start
in
this
decision.
AH
I
would
also
like
to
start
by
saying
that,
when
some
of
the
speakers
are
trying
to
inform
the
board
that
they
could
not
find
a
place
to
rent
in
Arlington,
that
is
just
last
month,
my
cousin
will
be
moving
here
for
work
next
month.
Look
for
rentals
around
the
Clarendon
Metro
area
and
he's
still
getting
calls
from
the
building
managers.
So
I
don't
know
where
these
people
are
looking
for
rentals,
but
there
are
plenty
around
this
area
to
choose
from.
AH
So
having
said
that,
when
we
meet
before
objective
I
tried
to
look
for
objectives
of
the
decision
that
is
being
recommended
to
raise
the
height
I
was
I
was
pointed
to
the
seven
guiding
principles
which
the
staff
apparently
aligned
their
accommodation.
With
now
out
of
those
seven
principles,
four
can
be
aligned
just
with
a
smaller
building
or
smaller
height.
One
is
actually
a
cake
higher
height
and
two,
which
can
be
supporting
this
accommodation
are
concentrated
high
density
development
within
Metro
station
areas
and
increased
supply
of
housing.
AH
Now
let
me
ask
everyone
who's
in
favor
of
the
decision.
Three
things
just
in
support
of
in
support
of
these
two
two
guiding
principles.
There
are
some
facts
that
we
need
to
look
at.
AH
Did
we
know
that
the
the
Arlington
is
the
11th
most
densely
populated
county
in
U.S
and
geographically,
it
is
the
smallest
South
governing
County
in
U.S
Arlington
ranks
sixth
in
population
in
Virginia
counties.
If
Arlington
was
incorporated
as
a
City,
Arlington
will
be
the
third
most
populous
city
in
the
state
of
Virginia.
With
these
facts,
the
first
two
guiding
principles
of
concentrating
high
density
development
and
prison
supply
of
housing.
AH
They
are
more
than
taken
care
of
in
Arlington
as
a
concerned,
resident
I
request
upon
information,
I
request
the
board
to
say
no
to
over
development
and
yes
to
Smart
growth,
we're
already
overcrowded
the
other
day
right
at
this
location,
where
the
crossing
Street
crossbow
Foods,
my
five-year-old
got
hit
by
a
basketball
guy,
mindless
development
will
only
make
this
area
increasingly
unsafe
for
residents
and
families
again.
I
urge
you
guys
to
thank
the
residents.
Do
not
succumb
to
the
builders.
AH
Make
us
believe
that
county
is
here
to
protect
it,
protect
our
interests,
not
the
builders.
Builders
always
want
more
money.
We
don't
want
the
county
to
support
us.
We
want
the
county
to
look
at
the
fact
to
look
at
the
objectives.
Why
are
we
doing
what
we
are
doing?
Why
are
we
making
a
decision
that
we
are
trying
to
make
and
thank
you
again
for
your
time
and
I
hope
that
you
will
look
at
the
facts.
Thank
you
again.
Thank.

Hearing
in

where
I
shared
with

the
bullseye
concept
for
the
Ross
in
Boston
quarter,
which
was
the
basis
for
each
of
the
original
five
sector
plans
in
the
corridor.
This
Bullseye
concept
is
the
only
graphic
on

I'm,
assuming
that
something
that
is
on
this
website
would
be
current
County
policy.
AI
Thank
you
for
pulling
up
the
slide.
So,
as
you
can
see,
this
policy
shows
that
the
height
and
density
is
concentrated
over
the
Metro
station's
proper
and
the
height
and
density,
both
taper
down
to
the
neighborhoods
and
tapered
down
in
between
the
Metro
stations.
This
results
in
troughs
between
the
stations,
as
you
may
recall,
I
was
a
citizen
member
of
the
first
Clarendon
sector
plan
in
1984.
AI
AI
This
proposed
building
sits
smack
in
the
trough
between
two
bullseyes
in
the
corridor.
It
will
be
precedent
setting
for
all
the
other
troughs.
In
fact,
the
county
has
already
received
one
one
more
of
these
attempts
to
negate
this
long-term
policy
for
the
RB
corridor,
and
this
is
only
one
of
the
lots
that
will
potentially
be
affected
by
the
precedent
set
by
up
zoning
Courthouse
West.
We
look
for
you
to
stand
behind
this
long-term
policy.

If
the
policy
is
to
be
changed,
it
should
be
done

The

into

be

change.

is
the

job.

making

pointed
out

questions
about

recalibration

which
From

perspective
should
be
undertaken
more
comprehensively

block

look
at

in
the
whole

more
comprehensively
look
at

AI
AJ
Thank
you
everybody.
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Jason.
Harrier
I
am
president
of
the
lion.
Village
citizens,
Association
and
I'm.
Speaking
on
our
behalf,
I
have
a
request
and
I
have
some
comments
on
the
process
that
we've
been
following
here.
First,
the
request
so
lion
Village
is
an
association
we're
requesting
to
defer
consideration
of
this
item
for
90
days
to
allow
the
nearby
Civic
associations
to
work
with
staff
to
see
if
we
can
come
up
with
an
approach
for
this
amendment
that
everybody
can
support.
AJ
So
at
this
point,
none
of
the
surrounding
or
nearby
neighborhoods
support
the
recommendation
of
the
Planning
Commission
and
staff.
Our
neighborhoods,
however,
are
working
towards
consensus
and
we'd
like
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
Planning
Commission
and
staff
towards
an
agreement
in
creating
and
amending
sector
plans
in
the
RB
Corridor
over
the
last
40
years.
The
board
has
always
sought
to
obtain
the
support
of
both
nearby
neighborhoods
and
Property
Owners
within
the
plan
area.
AJ
Just
as
one
example
in
2006,
the
Clarendon
plan
amendments
didn't
go
forward
until
the
County
Board
until
the
five
surrounding
Civic
associations
and
property
owners
were
on
board.
The
county
has
adopted
this
approach
in
the
past
for
a
couple
reasons.
First,
it
assures
that
neighborhoods
and
Property
Owners,
having
supported
the
plan
or
the
changes
that
they'd
like
to
make,
would
not
later
oppose
development
consistent
with
the
plan
and
second,
it
provides
Assurance
to
developers
that
the
building
proposals,
consistent
with
the
plan,
would
move
through
the
county
process
relatively
quickly.
AJ
This
process
has
worked
really
well
over
the
last
40
years
and
virtually
all
of
the
development
proposed
for
the
Clarendon
plan
area
and
the
Western
portions
of
the
courthouse
plan
area
have
been
supported
by
the
surrounding
neighborhoods.
It's
also
allowed
site
plan
proposals
to
move
through
the
county
process
relatively
quickly.
This
has
allowed
the
community,
including
the
review
commissions,
to
focus
on
traditional
site
plan,
review
issues
like
building
materials
and
garage
entrances,
the
location
of
retail
and
so
forth,
and
not
be
so
abstored
with
basic
zoning
issues
with
little
time
to
reach
those
issues.
AJ
Next
I
want
to
have
a
couple
comments
on
the
process,
and
so
this
proposal
in
the
courthouse
plan
Amendment,
have
proceeded
under
a
far
different
process
than
I
just
described
above
first.
This
proposal
is
limited
to
about
three
quarters
of
a
small
block
right
now.
I
know
that
an
earlier
speaker
mentioned
that
the
other
25
might
be
up,
but
right
now
it's
a
it's.
A
75
of
the
block.
AJ
Second
clerk
plan
is
Seeking
a
heightened
density,
that's
roughly
triple
or
quadruple
what
is
currently
allowed
under
the
current
plan
and
third
there's
been
no
serious
effort
to
bring
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
into
a
special
process
as
well
as
one
that
places
the
Clark
site
and
it's
much
larger
context.
In
fact,
this
particular
application
looks
more
like
spot
zoning
rather
than
seeking
permissions
for
this
drowning
property
owners
that
can
have
under
the
plan
and
so
on,
a
larger
level.
AJ
We
see
this
process
being
followed
as
posing
several
long-term
dangers
for
the
accounting
one
and,
as
many
other
folks
have
mentioned,
this
is
setting
a
dangerous
precedent,
such
a
major
departure
for
such
a
small
site
in
a
planned
area.
So
that's
the
precedent
that
other
developers
and
I
think
some
have
like,
including
inline
Village,
to
seek
similar
changes
in
other
areas
of
the
county.
AJ
That
presents
a
problem
for
for
the
folks
living
there,
and
it
also
presents
a
problem
potentially
for
the
board,
because
if
you
say
no
to
those
later
challenges,
you're
opening
the
door
for
for
legal
issues.
Why
did
you
say
no
to
them?
And
you
don't
say
no
to
to
this
group.
So
in
conclusion,
this
planning
process
that
the
County
Board
has
followed
on
the
RV
Corridor
has
worked
well
over
the
years,
but
this
particular
process
is
a
lot
different
than
that.
AJ
The
engagement
of
the
community
than
the
surrounding
neighborhood
associations
has
been
critical
to
the
Past
success
and
we
just
really
would
really
like
to
see
that
now.
So
we
think
the
county
should
defer
this
and
try
and
see
if
we
can
reach
a
consensus
in
the
county
of
the
Planning
Commission
and
all
the
neighbors
and
past
efforts
to
amend
the
plans.
We've
seen
neighborhoods
give
quite
a
bit,
and
we
think
that
that
might
be
the
case
here
as
well.
And
so
thank
you
very
much
for
the
time.

Hello

all
the

association
and
I,
won't
go
over
the
details
of
the
letter
that
we
sent
to
the
board.
But
I
will
note
that
there
are
a
number
of
things
in
the
entire
process
of
planning
this
site
that
have
been
extremely
challenging
for
the
association.
We
have
a
diverse
Association.
AK
We
have
anywhere
from
low-income
housing
to
million
dollar
multi-million
dollar
homes
in
our
neighborhood,
and
it's
always
a
challenge
to
have
a
representative
sample
of
citizens
participate
in
this
particular
process,
which
was
mostly
online
with
a
survey
released
in
the
dead
of
winter.
It's
even
more
difficult
for
an
association
or
even
the
county
itself
to
ensure
diverse
perspectives
are
considered.
AK
That
was
a
continuing
concern
of
residents,
the
lack
of
affordable
housing,
and
while
we
recognize
that
this
site
provides
a
number
of
opportunities
for
housing,
this
site
will
also
be
a
tremendous
change
from
the
current
density
Allowed
by
right
or
by
site
plan.
In
fact,
this
would
triple
the
density
Allowed
by
site
plan
roughly,
and
that
is
part
of
what
caused
a
major
concern
within
our
association
which
led
to
the
recommendation
to
cap
the
height
at
six
stories.
AK
There's
as
Mr
Dorsey
mentioned
earlier
this
morning,
there's
not
it's
not
always
possible
to
reach
consensus
and
we
recognize
that,
but
as
a
whole,
the
civic
association
is
still
committed
to
reasonableness.
And
while
we
understand
that
there
is
some
interest
in
residence
for
higher
density,
there's
also
interest
in
lower
density
and
there's
reasonableness
in
some
of
this
particular
plan
that
the
county
staff
set
forward-
and
some
of
that
includes
the
design
elements.
Some
of
the
the
expectations
for
how
the
site
might
be
oriented.
AK
But
what
we
haven't
seen
is
a
commitment
or
direction
for
how
that
will
play
out
in
the
site.
Plan
process
and
yes
site
plan
is
a
time
to
refine
the
vision
and
to
get
down
to
the
nitty-gritty
in
details
and
it's
difficult
when
we're
not
really
sure
what
size
this
building
is
going
to
be,
because
that
doesn't
form
the
kind
of
community
benefits
to
be
expected.
AK
An
increase
in
density
and
three
times
the
current
allowed
amount
would
represent
a
significant
windfall
for
the
developer
that
we
believe
the
county
should
share
in
it's
not
just
the
current
neighbors.
It's
not
just
the
future
neighbors,
it's
the
county
itself
and
we
expect
the
county
to
uphold
their
end
of
the
bargain
in
any
type
of
density
increase
on
this
site.
AK
This
kind
of
block
by
block
planning
is
extremely
challenging
for
Neighbors.
It's
a
considerable
amount
of
time
and
dedication,
and
usually
neighbors,
have
maybe
one
or
two
comments
at
the
end,
particularly
when
we're
dealing
with
online
sessions,
that's
very
difficult
for
Neighbors,
whether
you're,
busy
or
not
busy.
It's
very,
very
challenging
and
block
by
block
planning
like
this.
AK
Without
the
context
of
a
larger
study,
leaves
most
residents
dissatisfied
and
that
I
think
is
a
consensus
that
we
all
have
and
what
we're
looking
for,
in
particular,
is
for
the
county
to
stop
putting
the
residents
through
this
keep
the
keep
planning
on
a
macro
level,
leave
site
plan
for
the
micro
level.
Look
at
the
sector
plans
update
them
and
make
those
changes.
AK
So
it's
challenging
to
hear
that
we're
both
too
late,
it's
too
old
and
it's
still
unresolved
and
when
we're
looking
for
improving
the
inclusion
and
Equity
measures
across
the
county,
this
kind
of
side-by-side
planning
is
never
going
to
lead
to
a
great
result.
It
might
lead
to
an
okay
result,
but
it's
never
going
to
be
on
par
with
the
expectations
that
most
residents
have
at
the
county
and
we're
serving
not
just
the
current
residents.
But
we
want
Arlington
to
work
for
future
residents
as
well.
Thank
you,
Chavez.
A
AL
Good
morning,
yes,
there
are
two
Casey
Nolans
good
morning
board
members
staff
and
members
of
the
community.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
discuss
the
special
glove
study
for
the
proposed
Courthouse
West
project.
From
the
applicant's
perspective,
my
name
is
Casey
Nolan
and
I
help
lead
the
local
development
team
for
arlington-based
CRC
companies.
Thank
you
to
the
county
staff
for
its
work
on
the
study
and
thank
you
to
the
community
for
your
participation
in
lrpc
meetings,
Planning
Commission
meetings
and
the
online
engagement
opportunities
this
morning.
AL
Courthouse
West
is
a
gap
in
the
RV
Corridor.
Completion
of
the
special
glove
study,
with
a
height
of
up
to
16
stories,
will
enable
density
and
housing
to
be
developed
where
it
belongs
less
than
a
quarter
mile
walk
from
the
existing
Metro.
This
project
will
also
enable
significant
Community
benefits
to
be
realized
by
the
county
and
neighborhood.
AL
The
site
has
substantial
public
infrastructure
in
place.
While
it
was
a
five
to
six
minute,
walk
to
two
existing
metro
stops,
The
Pedestrian
commute
will
become
even
shorter
when
a
future
Courthouse
Metro
elevator
is
constructed.
One
block
away,
the
planned
Metro
infrastructure
will
reinforce
the
spine
in
the
courthouse.
Neighborhood
and
a
project
can
still
taper
North
and
South
through
the
existing
residential
neighborhoods.
AL
These
excerpts
from
the
County's
Master
Transportation
plan
and
all
modest
study
depict
the
new
Metro
elevator
and
how
the
quarter
mile
radius
from
Metro
will
greatly
expand
improvements
to
the
existing
Courthouse
Metro
elevator
and
a
future
Metro
elevator
entrance
only
reinforced
a
walkable
nature
of
this
Transit
oriented
development
site
staff
has
done
an
excellent
job
laying
out
the
planning
history.
I
wanted
to
also
reinforce
that.
This
study
is
not
like
some
prior
special
glove
studies
and
that
there
is
a
sector
plan
in
place.
AL
This
is
not
an
overlooked
parcel
in
the
heart
of
the
RV
Corridor,
there's
clear
guidance
on
it
being
in
a
higher
density,
commercial,
residential
mixed-use
district
there's
also
clear
guidance
in
County
documents
on
tapering
and
density
goals.
Tapering
is
not
a
guideline
between
metro
stops
along
the
spine.
Tapering
is
only
a
guideline
to
the
residential
neighborhoods,
which
are
north
and
south
from
this
site.
Density
is
targeted
within
a
quarter
mile
of
Metro.
AL
These
County
guidelines
led
us
to
believe
Co
was
the
appropriate
category
for
this
block.
Co
has
a
height
cap
of
180
feet,
which
corresponds
to
17
to
18
stories.
Staff
has
recommended
a
medium
density
category
of
Co
2.5
and
a
height
cap
of
12
Stories
versus
the
16
stories
allowed
in
the
zoning
category.
Our
recommendation
is
to
enable
height
up
to
16
stories
and
design
flexibility
during
the
4.1
process
to
achieve
more
Community
benefits
and
more
housing
in
this
location.
AL
The
study
document
has
seven
guiding
principles,
which
we
support
among
them,
as
tapering
of
the
building
massing
and
designing
the
site
to
achieve
sunlight
and
air.
While
this
is
schematic
in
nature,
the
images
on
the
left
to
pick
out
building
could
be
laid
out
to
achieve
those
guiding
principles
with
open
space
facing
south
and
residential
bars
of
a
building
taper
from
16
to
12
stories.
We
have
experienced
molding
buildings
to
achieve
stakeholder
goals,
such
as
the
images
shown
of
the
Clarendon
Apartments
along
Hudson
Street.
AL
I
also
wanted
to
provide
an
update
on
the
public
engagement
process,
which
we
feel
has
been
both
robust
and
inclusive.
Through
this
process,
the
county
will
help
11
public
meetings
or
online
engagements.
We
have
led
over
20
meetings
ourselves
since
2019,
and
also
Step
In
online
community
engagement
website
before
the
pandemic
should
complement
the
ongoing
process
and
have
over
900
followers.
AL
We
respectfully
recommend
the
County
Board
vote
to
approve
the
courthouse,
West
special
glove
study,
with
an
amendment
to
remove
the
height
cap
recommended
by
staff.
Our
recommendation
is
consistent
with
that
of
the
Planning
Commission.
The
density
and
height
up
to
16
stories
will
come
with
significant
Community
benefits.
AL
In
closing,
we
thank
the
County
Board
staff,
the
Planning,
Commission
and
Community
for
the
time
and
meaningful
dialogue
that
has
occurred.
We
hope
and
we
hope
continues.
We
feel
our
firm.
The
courthouse
West
project
are
well
positioned
to
be
part
of
the
solution
to
the
regional
housing
crisis,
while
activating
an
underutilized
transit-rich
site
in
the
heart
of
the
Ross
and
Boston
Corridor,
with
a
Sustainable
Building,
where
people
can
live,
work
shop
and
play.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
You
Mr
knowing
I,
appreciate
that
I
believe
Mr
Nolan
is
our
last
speaker.
That's
correct
all
right!
Thank
you.
So
much
to
all
who
came
to
share
what
it
I
think
are
truly
a
variety
of
perspectives
and
surfacing
what
I
think
are
some
really
meaningful.
A
Broader
issues
about
this
planning
context,
as
well
as
this
particular
special
glove
study,
I,
think
that
it
makes
sense
to
begin
with
some
questions
before
we
entertain
motions
from
colleagues
I
see
the
following
categories:
I
think
we
have
probably
quite
a
bit
of
questions
and
discussion
to
be
had
on
the
planning
context
here
and
I
mean
that
both
geographically
and
also
how
a
special
Club
study
fits
into
the
context
of
our
general
land
use
plan.
Our
other
comprehensive
plan
elements
how
it
relates
to
a
site
plan.
A
Etc
I
think
we
also
want
to
talk
with
some
specificity
and
perhaps
ask
some
questions
about
Heights
and
then
I'm
going
to
maybe
a
third
category,
we'll
call
it
additional
impacts
recognizing
that
the
specifics
of
traffic
circulation
parking
requirements,
Community
benefits,
would
come
through
a
site
plan,
I
think.
Nevertheless,
there
are
maybe
some
questions.
One
I
look
forward
to
getting
into
regarding
the
courthouse:
Metro
second
elevator
construction,
so
anything
else
to
add
Beyond
planning,
context,
height
specifically
and
additional
impacts,
all
right.
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
we'd
love
for
staff
to
just
provide
a
little
bit
of
a
historic
background
on
this
particular
site
being,
as
many
people
have
described
it
as
unplanned
and
being
at
the
service
commercial
level
in
the
glop.
Can
you
just
give
us
a
neat
little
narrative
about
how
that
has
come
to
be.
U
Absolutely
thank
you
for
that
question.
So
the
the
site
is
planned.
I
do
want
to
clarify
that.
From
from
the
start,
there
are
two
two
sector
planning
documents
associated
with
the
study
area,
the
first
being
the
courthouse
sector
plan,
which
is
adopted
in
1981.
U
That
document
identified
the
study
area
as
part
of
a
a
larger
area
that
was
identified
as
commercial
12
years
later,
the
County
Board
adopted
a
courthouse
sector
plan
addendum
in
1993,
and
that
document
identifies
the
study
area
as
part
of
a
an
area
that's
identified
for
higher
density,
commercial,
residential
mixed-use
development.
S
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
explanation.
Can
you
add
just
a
reaction
on
why
this
is
not
spot
zoning.
U
Thank
you
for
that
question.
So
the
the
county
has
a
special
study
process
that
I
believe
the
board
created
back
in
2008
Four
instances.
U
When
a
request
to
look
at
the
general
land
use
plan
for
a
site
is
made
by
by
a
property
owner,
then
these
requests
are
made
in
instances
where
that
there's
some
potential
lack
of
specificity
in
the
existing
specific
planning
guidance
for
that
site
or
the
location
of
that
site
is
in
an
area
that
is
quote
unquote,
unplanned
outside
of
a
metro
station
area
and
there's
not
a
specific
sector
plan
or
corridor
plan
that
provides
specific
planning,
guidance,
Beyond
Beyond,
a
general
induced
plan
designation.
S
Settings
yes,
I
mean
what
this
tells
me
in
in
the
context
of
what
you
answered
to
to
Mr
Doris's
question
is
this
is
not
a
radical,
a
small
piece
of
land
that
is
radically
repurposed
for
Something
Completely,
you
know
unexpected
or
or
out
of
any
possible
context
with
you
know
the
atheist
and
planning
environment
and
actually
delivered
Urban
environment,
residential
and
Commercial
Urban
environment.
So
therefore
it
doesn't,
you
know,
fulfill,
not
not
the
slightest
definition
of
spot
Zone.
Thank.
R
You
I
couldn't
Madam
chair
to
just
leave
just
to
make
sure
I'm
processing
this
correctly
Mr
Murphy.
So
essentially,
what
I'm
hearing
is
this
site
has
in
terms
of
the
most
contemporaneous
planning
that
we
have
for
recognizing
that
that
is
in
fact,
you
know,
30
years
old
is
always
contemplated,
mixed
use,
medium
levels
of
density
on
this
site.
What
this
process
was
really
all
about
was
figuring
out
specifically
what
that
means
for
us
today,
given
the
elapsing
of
time
between
when
that
was
last
considered.
Is
that
reasonable,
that's
correct?
Thank
you.
Q
Sure,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
Mr
dorsey's
questions.
You
tracked
the
history
of
the
relevant
documents
with
respect
to
this
plan,
this
site
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
and
I
think
this
is
in
this
bucket
but
of
questions.
But
if
you
can
tell
us
a
little
bit
of
the
context
on
this
debate
with
respect
to
Bullseye
and
I've
heard
other
terms,
we've
heard
the
spine
and
we've
I,
think
I
mentioned
in
July
or
or
if
I
haven't,
there's
talk
about
a
Saddleback
and
want
to
see.
U
Absolutely
thank
you
for
that
question.
So
the
the
the
bullseye
concept
as
it
were,
was
a
concept
that
originated
in
the
1970s,
as
the
Kanye
was
beginning
to
plan
for
the
creation
of
the
Metro
lines
through
Arlington
I.
Believe
a
report
from
1972
RB
72
are
alternative.
Land
use
patterns
is,
is
the
planning
document
that
was
generated
at
the
time.
U
That
includes
the
bullseye
concept
graphic
and
that
report
was
really
used
as
a
planning
concept
that
looked
at
three
different
kind
of
alternative
Visions
for
the
Roslyn
balston
Corridor
at
the
time
to
engage
in
community
discussion
about
what
what
might
be
appropriate
for
the
future
planning
of
of
the
entire
Corridor.
U
One
one
thing
that's
not
included
in
those
development
and
growth
goals
is
tapering
along.
If
you
will
the
spine
of
of
the
Metro
Corridor
and
so
those
those
development
growth
goals
were
adopted
in
the
mid
70s
into
the
general
land
use
plan
and
those
helped
inform
the
creation
of
the
five
different
sector
plans
for
each
of
the
metro
station
areas
within
the
RV
corridor.
A
U
T
U
So
the
existing
Zoning
for
the
study
area
is
C2
and
that
is
our
General
commercial
service,
commercial,
zoning
District.
What
could
be
done?
There
is
a
service
commercial
use,
so
it
could
be
retail.
AM
It
could
be
office
and
how
high
that's
my,
how
high
how
high
45
feet,
which
is
how
many
stories.
T
Approximately
four
stories,
four
stories:
okay,
all
right,
that's
helpful!
So
once
they
go
over,
they
want.
If,
if
a
developer
Builder
wants
to
go
over
four
stories,
they
got
to
come
to
us
right
and
then
it
has
to
go
through
the
Planning
Commission,
because
we
have
a
whole
process
that
works
when
people
can
have
input
at
that
point,
and
that's
where
we
start
talking
about
the
tapering
and
the
setbacks
right
and
that's
how
so,
if
somebody
wants
to
do
four
stories,
I
thought
it
was
six,
so
that
I'm
glad
I
asked
the
question.
T
If
they
want
to
do
four,
it
could
be
just
a
block
box.
Doesn't
we
have
nothing
to
say
about
it,
but
as
soon
as
they
want
to
go
over
that,
they
have
to
come
to
us
and
we
have
I
I
would
say
we
probably.
Is
it
fair
to
say
we
kind
of
have
two
goals,
one
to
see
that
whatever
the
design
is
fits
well
and
kind
of
works
in
the
space,
and
then
the
other
is
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
extra
income
that
the
Builder
developer
makes
we
share
in
that
profit.
T
A
Thank
you,
Ms
Garvey,
so
I
found
that
incredibly
helpful,
that
sort
of
line
of
discussion,
Mr
Murphy
in
response
to
Mr
de
franti's
question
one
of
the
things
I'm
trying
to
think
about
how
to
articulate
here
understand-
and
this
may
be
a
good
question
for
you
or
for
your
colleagues
in
the
comprehensive
planning
department
when
we
have
a
sector
plan,
especially
a
more
recent
one.
A
We
know
that
that
can
precipitate
not
only
changes
to
our
zoning
ordinance
or
our
glove,
but
to
other
comprehensive
plan
elements
or
at
least
inform
the
updates
of
those
comprehensive
plan
elements
when
we
have
special
glove
studies.
It
is
a
little
less
clear
to
me
how
we
do
that
right,
like
there's.
Not
this
sort
of
codification
exercise
that
we
engage
in
with
respect
to
our
public
spaces,
master
plan
and
others,
and
yet
we
do
find
ourselves
doing
a
fair
number
of
these
special
Club
studies.
U
Yes,
one
one
example
would
be
like
the
public
spaces
master
plan
which
was
updated
just
a
few
years
ago
and
and
that
Document
Speaks
to
achieving
the
public
spaces
one
of
the
major
goals,
and
that
is
achieving
the
public
spaces
that
are
in
the
County's
adopted
sector
plans,
area
plans
and
other
other
plans,
which
would
would
include
special
up
study
documents
that
exist
as
County
policy.
U
So
in
the
instance
with
the
courthouse
West
study
document,
one
of
the
recommendations
is
regarding
the
provision
of
public
space,
and
so
it
fits
seamlessly
with
with
the
the
public
space's
master
plan
to
to
realize
that
Vision.
Within
the
study
document
and.
A
One
of
we
have
something
as
specific
as,
for
example,
the
public
spaces.
Master
plan
has
kind
of
level
of
service
implications
for
how
many
tennis
courts
will
need,
for
example,
again,
that's
the
type
of
thing
that
we
might
update
based
on
sector
plans.
Would
we
we
would
look
to
special
glove
studies
and
their
outcomes
to
think
about
that
as
well.
U
A
Excellent
I
think
I'll
just
say
for
my
part,
the
when
we
talk
about
the
relationship
of
special
Club
studies,
the
comprehensive
plan
I
think
there
are
sort
of
two
issues
at
play
here.
One
is:
are
we
literally
prepared
as
a
community
with
sufficient
public
facilities
and
other
you
know,
roads
in
infrastructure
to
meet
that
I?
Have
some
confidence
right
and
and
I
think
Mr
Murphy
Illustrated
that
well
that
as
a
technical
matter,
we
do
I.
Think
there's
also
the
question
and
I
think
that
was.
A
This
was
really
compellingly
by
mishavez
and
Mr
Harrier
in
context
of
trying
to
organize
their
neighbors
of
you
know,
when
we
do
these
special
glove
studies,
does
the
community
have
the
context
that
we
all
so
crave
that
sometimes
comes
about
from
a
sector
plan,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
distinguish
between
those
two
lest
we
be
seen
as
adding
or
improving
impacts.
This
community
is
unprepared
for
as
a
matter
of
policy
or
infrastructure.
A
So
I
appreciate
that
discussion,
I
guess,
I,
don't
know
if
there's
oh,
miss
Garvey,
please!
No,
no,
that's
a
vestibility!
Sorry
do
you
want
and
then
I
have
one
other
question
sure.
Q
So
I
had
a
question:
the
the
of
the
draft
plan
page
one
sort
of
touches
on
special
glove
studies.
There
have
been
11
and
I'm
trying
to
recall
the
Washington
Kirkwood
and
some
of
the
other
studies,
and
this
may
be
a
question
for
you
or
Mr
fusarelli
I,
don't
know
other.
The
studies
have
been
small
physically
and
have
those
special
glove
studies
been
used
in
this
approach.
Q
U
Yeah
I
think
that's
that's
correct
and
you're
correct
in
that
there
have
been
11
completed,
special
gloves
studies
since
I
believe
since
2008,
when,
when
the
process
was
was
formally
created
in
terms
of
the
the
geographic
area
for
those
studies,
I
think
they
can
range
in
size.
U
One
example
I
think
on
the
larger
end
would
be
the
Shirlington
special
gloves
study
plus
from
a
few
years
ago,
Washington
and
Kirkwood
was
another
special
Club
study,
I
believe
from
2017,
where
I
think
the
size
was
slightly
larger
potentially
than
the
study
area,
but
that
they
can,
they
can
range
in
size
from
from
smaller
sites
to
I
would
kind
of
put
put
Courthouse
West
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
the
spectrum.
U
If
you
will
and
you're
correct
that
these,
these
studies
are
intended
to
to
help
clarify
the
land,
use
vision
and
provide
a
comprehensive
Suite
of
guiding
principles
and
recommendations
to
help
inform
a
future
site
plan
application
and
the
review
of
a
site
plan.
Q
Great,
that's
helpful,
I
kind
of
see
it
as
expectations
when
you're
at
a
big
picture
level
and
then
expectations
when
you
start
to
build
out
and
that
helps
me
kind
of
I
was
watching
the
the
July
hearing,
and
that
is
part
of
why
I
still
recall
Mr
dorsey's
comments
that,
for
me
at
least
you
know
it
doesn't
fit
to
say.
6
12
at
least
is
is
where
I
would
need
to
be,
because
we
have
built
out
now
and
that's
what
we
would
that
the
common
person
I
think
would
expect
that.
So,
thanks.
A
Yeah,
okay,
so
one
more
question
sort
of
on
this
point
of
of
these
in-between
planning
exercises
and
Mr
Charlie
I
might
also
ask
you
because
I
know
the
Planning
Commission
talked
a
lot
about
I.
Think
you
gave
us
the
advice
to
direct
staff
to
actually
update
all
of
these
sector
plans
right,
which
would
be
the
gold
standard,
but
I'd
be
interested
in
your
thoughts
on
the
following
question,
along
with
Mr
Murphy's
or
anyone
from
planning.
A
So
aside
from
being
able
to
do
which
I
think
if
we
had
unlimited
resources,
the
idea
of
actually
updating
all
of
the
Orange
Line
quarter
sector
plan
sounds
terrific,
I'm,
not
sure
that's
at
all,
feasible,
but
I
do
think,
and-
and
you
know,
Ms
Alexander's
comments
are
really
ringing
in
my
ears
here
that
the
that
there
needs
to
be
a
codification
of
a
policy
or
at
least
a
sort
of
philosophy.
If
we
are
shifting
to
more
of
you
know
a
a
spine
philosophy.
A
I
really
appreciate
your
points
that
the
the
bullseye,
at
least
as
recognized
formally
by
our
policies,
has
always
been
about.
You
know
stepping
down
in
the
neighborhood,
not
along
the
corridor.
I
would
find
it
to
be
helpful
to
have
an
adopted
policy,
one
of
course
in
in
conversation
with
the
community
that
captures
and
codifies
an
expectation
about
development
along
the
Metro
Corridor
I
I
will
say
for
myself
by
way
of
associating
myself
with
the
idea
of
a
spine
that
the
idea
of
suppressing
density
it
places
that
are
blocks
for
Metro
stations.
A
You
know
in
order
to
sort
of
achieve
a
taper
between
those
stations,
I
think
that's
pretty
inconsistent
with
our
adopted
goals
in
the
affordable
housing
master
plan
and
the
community
energy
plan
and
the
master
Transportation
plan.
That
doesn't
mean
there
is
not
respect
for
the
principles
and
conversations
that
40
years
ago
helped
lay
the
basis
for
a
very
what
I
think
has
been
a
very
successful
Community
conversation,
but
I
do
think
or
Community
period.
A
I
do
think,
though,
you
know
the
the
way
that
our
transportation
network
has
developed.
The
way
attitudes
about
walkability
to
Metro
have
changed
in
the
ensuing
40
years
to
me.
I
do
think
we
need
to
be
talking
about
this
more
in
context
of
a
spine.
That
is
a
should
be
an
adopted
policy
that
the
that
all
can
expect,
but
the
community,
the
development
Community
our
staff
and
others
I'm
recognizing
I'm,
not
speaking
for
the
whole
of
the
board
there.
A
Without
doing
that,
you
know
the
the
full-scale
sector
plan,
which
would,
of
course,
Take
Years
side
by
side.
U
Yeah
I
think
so,
and
I
I
noted
previously
in
the
presentation
that
one
of
the
projects
on
the
planning
divisions
work
program
this
year
is
The
Five-Year
review
of
the
comprehensive
plan
which
occurs
on
a
set
basis
where
staff
goes
and
reviews
the
the
updates
to
the
comprehensive
plan
over
the
last
five
years.
U
As
part
of
this,
this
upcoming
five-year
review
staff,
via
the
scoping
of
that
that
initiative
is
considering
ways
to
kind
of
bring
in
some
of
these
bigger
picture,
questions
that
were
raised
by
the
Planning
Commission
related
to
how
how
the
we
think
about
the
the
corridor,
how
we
think
about
planning
for
the
rosin,
Paulson
Corridor
and
the
different
Metro
station
areas,
and
so
I
think
that
that
could
be
an
opportunity
to
to
bring
some
of
this
thinking.
To
light
for
for
the
community
and
for
the
board
great.
A
Okay,
so
the
five-year
comprehensive
plan
and
be
sort
of
the
main
vehicle,
but
there
might
be
some
ways
to
bring
this
update
in
Mr,
Mr,
Charlie
I
know
you
guys
talked
about
this
on
the
Planning
Commission.
So
is
there?
Are
there
any
insights?
You
know
beyond
what
I
think
was
well
captured
in
your
letter
that
you
would
add
to
this
conversation.
X
Not
too
much
I
think
you've
captured
the
idea,
we're
just
a
little
nervous
about
so
like
in
our
discussion.
X
One
of
the
conversation
points
were:
are
we
getting
ahead
of
planning
and
you
know,
versus
respecting
the
planning
process
and
sort
of
so
one
of
the
intent
of
the
Planning
Commission
was
to
try
to
get
ahead
to
point
out
that
we're
missing
some
information
on
this
and
do
exactly
as
Mr
Murphy
has
mentioned,
to
do
like
an
overall
master
plan
to
make
sure
we're
sort
of
doing
the
right
thing
holistically
versus
just
these
sort
of
you
know,
Band-Aid
approach,
you
know
without
being
pejorative
in
any
way
it's
a
good
tool.
X
A
You
are
much
more
generous
to
the
tool
of
special
Club
studies
than
I
would
be
I've,
been
very
frustrating
for
all
the
reasons
we've
talked
about.
That's
really
helpful.
Thank
you.
Okay,
I
am
now
monopolized
and
I
think
other
colleges.
T
Yeah
I'll
just
follow
up
a
little
bit
on
what
do
you?
What
you've
been
talking
about?
Miss,
Crystal
I
think
probably
some
sort
of
overall
discussion
of
the
idea
of
bullseyes
and
spines
I'm,
assuming
that
part
of
the
idea
was
to
have
sort
of
an
interesting
Skyline
I.
Don't
want
I'm
worried
that
somebody
thinking
might
think
that
we're
going
to
suddenly
as
a
spine,
we're
going
to
put
a
wall
down
which
I
don't
think
we
have
in
mind
at
all
and
probably
included
in
this
community
discussion
might
be
some.
T
You
know
going
back
over
Urban
Design
principles
and
those
things
I'm
thinking
a
little
bit
of
a
webinar.
You
know
we
kind
of
all
have
to
keep
ourselves
kind
of
thinking
about
what
what
are
sort
of
the
basic
design
ideas
before
we
get
to
the
definite
applications
so
make
something
like
that
kind
of
a
public
webinar
I'd
be
interested
at
any
rate.
I
think
that
could
be.
That
could
be
very
helpful
and
then
the
The
Five-Year
comprehensive
plan.
T
One
of
the
things
that
made
me
think
which
is
associated
with
this
and
a
lot
of
other
things
we're
talking
about
I,
think
people
keep
coming
saying
that
we
haven't
planned.
T
We
don't
have
enough
roads,
we
don't
have
enough
transportation,
we
don't
have
enough
schools,
we
don't
have
enough
Parks,
we
don't
have
enough,
and
every
single
one
of
those
parts
of
the
campaign
addresses
that
so
I
think
we
need
to
find
a
really
clear
way
to
to
message
that
to
our
public,
that
you
know
I
think,
as
you
said,
you're
confident
we
can
do
it,
but
other
people
are
not
aware
and
if
you're
not
aware,
then
you're
not
confident,
you
don't
think
it
even
exists.
T
S
To
add
to
that,
I
I
am
really
interested
in
the
fact
that
the
Planning
Commission
actually
openly
said
that,
or
at
least
a
few
Commissioners
openly
said
that
the
bullseye
concept
is
reaching
its
historic
limits.
This
is
how
I
read
it.
That
means
that
we
have
seen
enough
evidence
that
that
this
may
be
the
case.
I
can
I
can
speak
for
myself,
I
mean
the
bullseye
concept
was.
S
So
this
immediately
there
was
a
need
to
to
give
guidance
about
how
the
land
use
had
to
structure
around
these
new
lines,
and
you
know
the
map
of
1968.,
so
in
Arlington
and
Montgomery
County
I
believe
also
they
they,
you
know
settled
on
the
bullseye
concept,
because
back
then
there
were
only
two
models:
it
was
your
car
or
the
mass
transit,
and
that
was
it.
S
So
if
you
were
a
little
bit
further
away
and
you
would
be
assumed
not
to
actually
walk
and
choose
the
other,
but
today
we
are
in
a
multi-modal
world,
the
the
people,
people
can
and
short-called
Mobility
Circle,
Urban
Mobility
is
absolutely
Paramount
and
so
density
tends
to
to
distribute
in
a
different
way
and
I
think
that,
from
from
a
point
of
view
of
quality
of
life
distributed
density
itself
is
is,
is
more
desirable.
My
question
is:
how
is
I
mean
the
the?
S
U
Yeah,
that's
that's
absolutely
something
that
that
is
a
key
consideration
going
into
the
five-year
review,
understanding
that
the
way
residents
and
and
stakeholders
in
Arlington
utilize,
Transit
utilize,
other
modes
of
travel
than
the
personal
vehicle,
and
how
that
influence
is
kind
of
walk
sheds
Etc.
That's
that's!
Definitely
a
consideration
that
that
factors
into
the
five-year,
View
and
and
kind
of
looking
and
exploring
some
of
these
bigger
picture
questions.
U
A
R
I'll
just
add
to
this:
you
know:
less
people
interpret
that
we're
coming
to
bury
the
whole
concept
of
the
bullseye
I.
Think
for
the
time
that
it
was
created,
it
was
actually
very
smart
and
appropriate.
It's
just
that
we
have
the
benefit
of
seeing
life
technology
and
everything
else
evolve,
and
we
just
simply
know
that
a
blunt
distance
based
from
a
particular
point
is
not
really
the
way
people
experience
their
desirability
to
use
Transit
and
if
we
just
look
at
this
particular
site.
R
You
know:
proximity
aside,
it's
it's
a
gentle,
a
very
easily
accessible
path,
not
just
because
we
have
scooters
and
and
buses
and
everything
else
that
allow
you
to
get
there,
but
for
people
who
are
in
perhaps
a
personal
Mobility
device
or
just
people
walking
with
a
toddler
and
a
stroller
you've
got
wide
sidewalks
that
are
in
pretty
good
repair.
R
Gentle
slope,
it's
incredibly
useful
and
you
know
that
can
contrast
very
distinctly
and
differently
than
people,
maybe
perhaps
at
a
similar
proximity,
but
who
have
less
walkable
paths
because
of
slopes
and
sidewalks
and
everything
else.
So
it
complicates
our
path
moving
forward.
But
at
least
as
we
look
at
this
particular
site,
I
am
encouraged
that
when
it
comes
to,
you
know
Transit
proximity.
This
is
really
hitting
all
the
boxes.
That
experience
has
told
us
really
matter
when
it
comes
to
Transit,
accessibility,.
A
Well,
I
think,
what's
so
interesting
about
this
conversation,
I
can
use
just
a
little
further.
Is
there
is
a
lot
included
in
that
word
right
or
that
metaphor
of
the
bullseye
or
sometimes
called
the
taper?
There
is
the
the
distance
that
that
was
considered
and
might
now
be
different,
then
walkable
to
Metro.
A
You
know
there
is
how
much
density
is
concentrated
in
each
concentric
circle
of
the
bullseye.
So
you
know
I
think
there
are.
There
are
ways
in
which
we
can
recommit
ourselves
to
that
fundamental
planning
principle
of
more
density
that,
where
we
have
transit
to
support
it,
but
still
really
want
to
talk
about
some
of
the
the
the
elements
that
comprise
it
and
and
ensure
that
our
expectations
match
a
a
world
that
is
full
of
micro.
Mobility
right
that
that
wasn't
the
case
40
years
ago
is
just
one
example:
Mr
defranti.
Q
I
was
ready
to
offer
a
little
thought
on
the
bullseye,
but
then
move
us
to
the
next
bucket.
If
that's
okay,
so
this
you
know,
I
was
taken
a
little
bit
it
by
Miss,
Garvey
and
a
spine.
Q
Actually,
if
you
look
at
a
spine,
it's
not
all
just
a
a
wall,
you
know,
and
so
and
they're
also
so
I
do
think
that
we
have
moved
Beyond
I,
believe
we've
moved
Beyond,
The
Spine
and
that
there's
appropriate
context
with
this
special
glup
study,
as
it
relates
to
this
site
with
respect
to
the
height
the
second
bucket
I
guess
I.
Would
it
would
be
helpful
if
we
could
try
to
get
from
the
staff
presentation?
Q
We
could
try
to
get
slide
12
up
there,
because
for
me
you
know
a
spine
does
not
lead
me
to
know
exactly
between
12
and
16.
What
the
precise
height
would
be.
It
leads
me
to
say
that
less
than
12,
I,
don't
feel
is
appropriate,
but
on
that
slide,
there's
it's
a
that's
the
one
with
the
shades
and
we've
modeled
16
stories,
I,
think
we
modeled
12
stories
or
but
I'm,
not
sure
and
I
I
take
I.
Q
Think
it's
fair
to
say
that
the
that
weighing
you
know
having
being
in
the
shade
for
some
part
of
your
day
is
is,
is
a
different
policy
priority
that
we
need
to
wait,
but
we
also
really
need
to
wait
the
amount
of
supply
of
housing
that
we
have,
which
is
critical,
but
I,
guess
for
Miss
Murphy
we've
done
16
stories.
We
haven't
done
12
or
14
stories,
those
sorts
of
of
we
haven't
modeled.
Those
is
that
correct.
U
For
just
to
clarify
from
a
shadow
study
perspective,
yes,
so
we
we
have
what
what
the
what's
included
in
the
draft
study
document
is
a
shadow
study
of
up
to
13
stories,
and
so
that
reflects
that
Heights
of
around
13
stories
do
not
Project
based
on
our
modeling,
do
not
project
Shadows
onto
lower
density
residential
areas.
As
we
start
to
move
above
that
height,
we
do
start
to
see
some
some
projection
of
Shadows
onto
those
lower
density
residential
areas.
Further
north.
Q
Got
it
I
I
am
corrected
and
I
guess
for
me.
Q
There's
in
our
documents
there's
a
piece
that
I
guess
in
originally
initially
there
might
have
been
Roslyn
and
Boston
might
have
been
seen
to
be
a
slightly
more
dense
a
number
of
years
ago
and
I
think
we
got
analysis
from
staff
regarding
the
closest
buildings
currently
not
being
at
16
stories,
at
least
for
the
most
part.
Is
that
I
guess
with
respect
to
that
last
part?
There's
you
know
is
that
accurate
and
there's
immediate
vicinity
and
then
there's
sort
of
near
vicinity?
U
Yeah,
absolutely
and
if
it
would
be
helpful,
I
can
flip
ahead
to
another
slide.
That
was
included
in
the
presentation
that
looks
at
the
surrounding
context.
Here
we
go
so
in
terms
of
existing
Heights.
We
do
see
kind
of
within
this
close
vicinity,
Heights
of
16
stories
within
a
few
blocks
away.
U
Those
those
buildings
are
closer
to
the
to
the
metro
station
to
the
courthouse
Metro
station.
You
pointed
out,
you
know,
as
we
zoom
out
even
further
looking
at
the
entirety
of
the
rosin
Boston
corridor.
U
We
do
see
Heights
that
that
exceed
16
stories
well
well
above
16
stories
in
the
Roslyn
Metro
station
area
in
in
the
Boston
metro
station
area
as
well,
and
so
those
those
Heights
based
on
kind
of
those
original
sector
plans
that
were
originally
developed,
I
believe
you
know,
each
each
sector
plan
had
a
vision
for
the
metro
station
that
that
particular
Metro
station
area.
A
Thank
you,
Heights.
R
Oh
yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
as
it
relates
to
the
heights,
so
Your
Shadow
studies,
even
though
you
didn't
go
incrementally
above
13,
is
it
fair
to
say
that
at
each
successive
story
we're
talking
about
incremental,
as
opposed
to
exponential
changes
to
the
shadow
impacts,
that's
correct,
and
could
you
also
thank
you,
and
could
you
also
discuss
a
little
bit?
I
wasn't
quite
clear
what
the
conclusion
is
by
the
shadow
studies
that
look
at
potential
Redevelopment
at
up
to
45
feet
of
some
of
the
areas
north
casting
an
impact.
U
So,
depending
on
what
the
Redevelopment
of
that
building
looks
like
the
mass
thing
that
we
did
was
a
very
much
kind
of
the
maximum
based
on
the
zoning
that
you
could
do
with
the
C2
zoning
that
would
potentially
create
a
shadow
that
would
overlap
if
you
will,
with
with
shadows
generated
from
the
study
area,
got.
R
S
Thank
you.
So
you
know
Shadows
are
important
because
they
they
change
the
environment,
the
living
it's
a
quality
of
life
issue.
One
one
thing
to
me:
that's
also
important
is
that
the
the
proportion
of
of
the
building
to
the
street
into
the
and
was
what's
across
so
the
the
enclosure
of
the
street
and
the
vistas,
especially
at
pedestrian
level,
because
one
of
the
goals
here
is
obviously
to
to
activate
The
Pedestrian
realm
and
have
this
vibrant
nice
Community,
where
everybody
appreciates
a
very
high
delivery
and
quality
of
life.
U
Yes,
so
Building
height
transitions
from
the
study
area
to
the
surrounding
year
was
a
key
consideration
during
the
study
process.
One
of
the
study
documents
guiding
principles
speaks
to
future
development.
U
The
the
four
stories
you
know
when
we
look
at
the
existing
zoning
and
into
existing
development
to
the
north
into
the
South
to
the
north
is
the
the
low-scale
commercial
development
that
could
potentially
redevelop
it
redevelop
by
right
up
to
45
feet.
So
it
would
create
you
know
there.
There
would
be
Harmony
between
four
stories
and
45
feet
to
the
South
along
the
south
side
of
Clarendon
Boulevard,
our
townhouses,
the
the
maximum
height.
S
Just
as
a
follow-up,
because
it's
it's
relevant
to
my
thinking
of
the
entire
side
as
it
as
it
is
proposed,
so
the
the
the
open
space
the
green
space
is
on
the
south
side
of
the
building
in
on
at
the
corner.
Is
that
prescriptive
for
the
future
site
plan?
Or
is
that
just
a
marker
that
there
has
to
be
one
space
there
and
this
may
may
move
around
depending
on
the
architecture?
Or
you
know,
setting
of
of
the
site
plan
application.
U
So
the
the
illustrative
model
models,
the
the
envisioned
open
space
on
the
southwest
corner.
As
you
noted,
the
study
document
recommendations
speak
to
concentrating
that
public
space
or
open
space
along
Clarendon
Boulevard,
precisely
at
some
point
on
Clarendon
Boulevard.
So
it
could
be
the
Southwest
or
it
could
be
on
the
Southeastern
corner
of
the
block.
But
one
of
the
key
considerations
there
was
ensuring
that
that
open
space
is
is
not
going
to
be.
U
S
And
and
the
balance
between
Hardscape
versus
a
more
naturalized
races
as
I
guess
not
to
be
specified
at
this
level
of
planning
right.
U
So
we
in
the
study
document
there
are
recommendations
related
to
natural
resources
that
speak
to
speak,
to
kind
of
high
level
targets
for
Hardscape
versus
natural
space.
But.
T
Scurvy
now
so
back
to
Shadows,
so
I'm,
assuming
if
we
do
tapering
so
if
you've
got
a
building,
that's
a
square
like
that.
The
shadow
comes
down
like
this,
but
if
you
do
the
tapering
and
setbacks
that
moves
the
shadow
back
in
effect
right
good.
T
Thank
you,
I
wanted
to
to
check
that
and
I.
So
I
spent
some
time
this
weekend
or
the
this
week,
driving
around
counting
floors
on
buildings
and
actually
getting
out
and
walking
around
people.
Think
we
don't
listen.
T
We
do
I
mean
I
spent
a
lot
of
time,
trying
to
count
figure
things
out,
just
to
sort
of
mostly
to
see
how
it
feels
so
how
it
felt
to
me,
one
of
the
things
I
noticed
is
particularly
walking
actually
around
this
Plaza
is
I'm
walking
around
it's
feeling
pretty
good
and
I
step
back
and
I.
Think
oh,
my
Heavens
that
building's
a
whole
lot
higher,
but
I
never
noticed
it
because
of
the
step
back.
T
Is
that
a
reasonable
that
experience
that
I
had
I
assume
that's
sort
of
one
of
the
things
we
kind
of
think
about?
So
what
it
seemed
to
me
is:
if
you
do,
the
step
backs
and
the
tapering
correctly.
The
effect
on
the
street
can
be
it's
a
much
lower
building,
whereas
a
matter
of
fact
you
get
a
lot
more
height,
Without
Really,
affecting
the
feel
on
the
street
you're
nodding
my
head
that
your
head,
that
means
I'm
kind
of
okay.
T
On
my
assumptions
there,
okay,
thank
you,
and
that
means
I
think
when
we
we
will
be
getting
to
a
vote
at
some
point.
It's
part
of
the
reason:
I'm
a
little
I'm,
more
comfortable,
going
a
little
bit
higher
as
long
as
I
know
we're
going
to
do
the
tapering
and
I
know
once
they
get
over
four
stories.
They
got
to
come
to
us
to
do
that.
So
we
have
control
about
how
the
design
looks.
So
all
right,
everybody
seems
to
I,
seem
to
be
understanding.
Okay,.
A
I've
looked
at
similar
questions.
You
help
us
give
us
some
insight
into
how
staff
thinks
about
sculpting
in
I
mean
Club
studies
again
they're,
so
hard
you're,
basically
just
promulgating
massing
studies
right,
but
but
to
what
extent
you
know
when,
when
the
staff
recommendation
is
12
stories,
does
that
assume?
A
You
know
a
a
good
bit
of
sculpting
and
tapering
already,
because
at
some
point
right,
the
Assumption
of
sculpting
and
tapering
starts
to
functionally
cap
right,
whether
the
the
amount
of
density
flurry
ratio,
Etc
that
could
be
achieved
so
so
talk
to
us
about
how
how
much
you
assume
how
you
assume,
what
standards
you
use,
yeah.
U
Absolutely
so,
as
staff
conducted
its
massing
scenarios
and
developing
different
scenarios
for
the
study
area,
one
of
the
the
considerations
is
height,
Transitions
and
tapering.
Obviously,
we
knew
that
that
was
a
key
piece
of
input
and
feedback
from
the
community.
U
U
This
is
it's
intended
to
be
high
level
envisionary
and
provide
recommendations
to
help
guide
that
that
application
in
the
future,
and
so
our
study
document,
what
we've
included
are,
are
a
series
of
kind
of
high-level
recommendations
and
guidance
related
to
tapering
related
to
step
backs
related
to
the
general
placement
of
where,
where
the
tallest
height,
if
you
will,
where
the
tallest
height,
ought
to
be
located
toward
the
center
of
the
site,
providing
that
that
high
level
guidance
at
this
stage
and
setting
the
stage
for
that
future
site
plan
application
and
the
future
review
of
the
site
plan
application
to
really
specify
when,
when
there's
that,
you
know
application
where,
where
are
the
most
appropriate
places
to
realize
these
high-level
recommendations?
A
Really
helpful,
thank
you
so
when
we
say,
for
example,
that
the
the
the
density
here
of
220
units
per
acre,
that
assumes
you
know
not
sort
of
the
full
box
being
built
out
at
12
stories.
U
So
the
the
220
units
per
acre
assumes
some
of
this
high
level:
tapering,
okay,
but
it
it's
not.
It's
not
necessarily
a
full
box
around
the
site.
R
Oh
thank
you
and
just
to
really
go.
Go
there.
Madam
chair
the
images
that
people
saw
if
they
weren't
able
to
continually
sorry
to
absorb
all
of
the
text
and
the
study
document
the
images
that
they
see
the
modeling
images
that
they
see.
Look
at
four
to
six
story:
Podium
Heights.
They
look
at
multiple
step
backs
as
you
reach
that
12
story
recommendation
it
pushes
that
height
more
towards
the
center,
so
everything
that
was
outlined
in
the
text
in
terms
of
playing
goals
is
reflected
in
one
illustrative
way
in
the
images.
R
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
as
we
work
on
height
I
just
wanted,
we
had
some
comments
regarding
site
plan
process
and
when
we've
had
special
glove
studies.
Q
Q
You
know
that's
one
of
the
bullets
in
the
slides,
but
then
putting
the
word
sculpting
and
the
word
tapering
into
a
drawing
in
an
actual
building
takes
some
time.
So
are
you
able
to
speak
at
all
to
the
site
plan
process
and
and
the
special
Club
process?
I?
Think
one
of
our
speakers
said
it's.
It's
regularly
been
built
to
the
maximum
height
I.
Don't
believe
that
to
be
the
case,
but
I
don't
know
if
you
can
speak
to
that
at
all.
U
So
I
don't
have
any
specific
examples
that
I
can
draw
on
at
the
moment,
I'm
not
sure
if
other
staff
might
might
be
able
to
share.
But
one
of
the
key.
The
key
considerations
is
that
the
the
guidance
in
in
the
in
the
study
document
you
know
it
really
informs
that
feature
site
plan
application.
So
if,
if
the
the
study
document
identifies
the
maximum
height,
that
really
is
hoping
to
to
set
the
the
maximum
box,
if
you
will
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to.
AN
Thank
you
thank
you
and
good
morning
for
the
record,
Anthony
pusarelli
with
the
planning
division
and
thank
you
for
the
question
board
member
differenti
just
to
provide
a
few
specific
recent
examples
in
terms
of
how
special
glup
studies
and
the
guidance
and
documentation
that
the
board
has
adopted,
has
then
gone
on
to
inform
and
influence
slight
plans
to
follow
just
two
specific
examples.
AN
In
the
past
few
years
in
the
Washington
Kirkwood
area,
which
I
think
was
referenced
earlier,
the
building
height
guidance
that
that
board,
approved
or
adopted.
With
that
study,
maxed
reached
a
maximum
of
six
to
seven
stories
along
the
north
side
of
Washington
Boulevard.
The
board
has
since
approved
two
site
plans
within
the
geographic
limits
of
that
area.
Both
of
those
site
plans
have
reached
a
maximum
of
seven
stories
and
have
been
either
recently
completed
or
currently
under
construction.
AN
A
to
give
one
other
example:
the
11th
and
Vermont
special
gloves
study
in
North
Boston
again
that
site
is
currently
going
under
construction.
AN
That
site
plan
had
been
approved
and
amended
several
times,
but
again
consistent
with
the
recommended
height
that
was
set
forth
in
the
special
glup
study.
So
I
would
say
that
you
know
I,
think
the
process
is
working
to
the
extent
that
the
guidance
adopted
by
this
board
helps
set
clear
expectations
for
at
Future
applicants
for
the
community
and
for
staff
in
terms
of
what
the
maximum
Heights
can
be.
It
doesn't
guarantee
that
the
maximum
will
be
proposed
or
approved
in
all
instances,
but
those
are
a
few
examples
that
depict
where
they
have.
Q
Thank
you.
That's
very
helpful,
even
if
my
impression
had
included
this
specifics,
but
it's
still
very
helpful.
I
also
want
to,
as
we
sort
of
move
along
the
one
thing
I
will
say
with
Madam
chair
is,
there
is
slide
for
me
slide.
20
of
the
staff
presentation
leads
me
to
concern
with
16
stories,
as
as,
without
the
specificity
of
the
additional
step,
that's
I'm,
not
quite
at
16,
and
because
it
does
seem
as
though
a
midpoint
it
is,
it
would
be.
Q
You
know,
towards
the
top,
and
if
you
think
about
the
other
buildings
that
this
bird
sent
us
you
know,
I
want
density
in
this
particular
place.
As
so
many
people
have
told
us.
Transit
oriented
development
have
done
so
well,
but
I
do
think.
16
stories
seems
slightly
outside
at
least
my
sense
of
what
feels
like
Fair
expectations
even
with
a
spine.
Thank.
A
You,
okay,
well,
the
the
only
other
item
to
to
flesh
out,
maybe
before
we
start
looking
for
motion
on
the
table,
just
any
other
questions
about
additional
impacts.
We
definitely
heard
from
some
folks
in
the
neighborhood
concerned
about
traffic
traffic
safety
in
particular.
Again
many
of
the
specifics,
the
circulation
plans,
parking
Etc,
will
be
addressed
at
a
site
plan
process.
A
I
would
love
to
take
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
the
courthouse
metro,
stuff,
I
really
appreciated
Ms
O'connell
coming
in
about
this
and
I
I
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Thinking
recently
about
Metro
station
elevators
in
context
of
Boston,
but
the
courthouse
Metro
elevator
is.
It
is
an
rcip
with
the
idea
that
construction
would
start
in
fiscal
2026,
which
is
pretty
soon.
A
So
if
staff
could
talk
more
about
specifically
what
the
plan
for
that
elevator
construction
project
is
where
it
is
and
then
any
insights
about,
maybe
how
it's
funded,
because
I
know
Miss
economy.
The
point
that
we
are
sitting
on,
potentially
some
developer
contributions
for
it.
U
Absolutely
so
you
rightfully
noted
in
in
the
current
fiscal
year,
2023
2032,
Capital
Improvement
plan
is
a
a
project
to
replace
the
existing
street
level
to
Metro
station
mezzanine
elevator,
which
is
located
outside
this
building
at
2200
Clarendon
Boulevard
as
part
of
that
project,
but
that
project
is
really
intended
to
do
is
to
remove
the
existing
elevator
widen
that
Elevator
Shaft
to
allow
for
space
for
two
elevators
to
create
redundancy
so
that
you
know
if
an
elevator
goes
down.
U
There's
another
elevator
there,
as
you
noted
that
that
project
identified
in
the
CIP
is
intended
to
begin
Construction
in
fiscal
year
2026
and
is
envisioned
for
completion
in
fiscal
year,
2029
related
to
the
funding
for
that
project.
U
There
there
is
already
funding
set
aside
approximately
3.1
million
dollars
of
other
previously
approved
funds
that
have
been
set
aside
and
dedicated
for
this
project.
In
addition
to
federal
and
state
funding
and
and
that
other
previously
approved
funding
comes
from
development
developer
contributions
from
from
site
plans
within
the
courthouse
station
area.
A
Really
helpful
so
at
the
2200,
Clarendon,
Boulevard,
location,
I
think
that's
really
important.
Ms
o'connelly
may
have
mentioned
it
verbally,
but
I
know
you
mentioned
here
wanting
to
make
sure
we're
not
talking
about
the
one
that
is
interior
two
by
the
by
the
movie.
Theater
I
also
learned
in
sort
of
surfacing
some
conversations
that
at
one
point
there
had
been
an
idea
on
our
MTP
map
that
there
might
be
a
second
Metro
station
entrance
that
would
be
close
to
this
project.
My
understanding
is
that
idea
was
about
15
years
old.
A
T
Garvey
yeah
two
things:
one
I'll
just
follow
up
on
a
little
bit
more
on
the
Metro
entrance
for
Ms
O'connell,
the
manager
sent
us
a
message,
I
think.
If
you
look
on
page
279
of
the
CIP,
all
of
the
spending
is
the
money
that's
come
in
and
what's
been
spent
and
where
it
goes
so,
I
think
all
of
your
questions
about
the
dollars
are
there
in
our
Capital
program.
So
we
can
talk
about
that.
Maybe
offline
or
you
can
talk
that
with
somebody
apparently
on
page
279
online.
T
So
if
you
can't
find
it,
maybe
we
can
help
out
with
that
and
then
I
I
had
one
other
question.
It
may
sound
odd,
Mr
sarley.
If
I
could
ask
you
a
question.
You
said
in
your
statement
because
one
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
is
impacts.
The
definition
of
walkability
has
changed
and
I
looked
at
the
letter.
I
didn't
see.
Could
you
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
because
actually
Transportation
safety
parking
all
of
that
kind
of
falls
into
walkability?
How
is
the
definition
of
walkability
changed?
T
X
So
Mr
Murphy
can
supply
information,
but
at
our
Planning
Commission
meeting
we
did
discuss
that
acceptable
distances
from
residents
or
you
know,
from
place
of
work
to
a
metro.
Stop
has
expanded
if
I'm
correct.
U
Discussing
you
know
the
as
developed
the
the
sector
plans
spoke
to
a
quarter
mile
radius
and
those
development
and
growth
goals
in
the
general
land
use
plan
speak
to
a
quarter
mile
radius,
but
what
we
were
seeing
perhaps
is
that
folks,
from
further
than
a
quarter
mile
radius
are
using
those
metrics,
they're
willing.
T
To
walk
farther
yeah,
particularly
if
we
make
the
sidewalks
wide
and
comfortable
and
we
plant
trees
and
things
it.
That
would
help
too,
but
I
think
people
are
a
little
more
used.
I
was
just
kind
of
curious
about
that.
Thank
you.
That
was
it.
Walkable
ability
is
actually
pretty
important.
Huge
Point.
Q
If
that
works
I,
this
is
not
an
easy
one.
In
my
view,
I
indicated
that
16
seemed
slightly
outside
of
my
sense
of
the
reasonable
sort
of
reasonable
expectations
under
our
planning
systems
and
documents.
I.
Q
I
think
it's
also
important
to
note
that
there
will
be
other
sites,
probably
in
this
interval
that
will
be
redeveloped
over
the
coming
10
20
30
years.
I
do
think
we
have
to
address
the
problem
of
the
housing
Supply.
Ultimately,
for
me,
the
staff
presentation
is
is
persuasive
and
12
stories
seems
seems
reasonable
between
12
and
you
know,
I
think
there
is
a
plausible
argument
for
14,
but
I
think
that
adding
housing
Supply
is
important
and
our
planning
documents
ultimately
for
me
between
leave
some
room
here
and
I.
Q
Think
the
sustainability
of
this
of
our
as
we
continue
to
add
Supply,
is
important
and
I.
Think
the
staff
presentation
this
the
various
pieces
of
the
staff
presentation
are
persuasive,
so
I
would
move
the
staff's
recommendation.
I'm
not
I,
I,
guess
I
would
say
the
difference
for
me
between
12
and
14.
We
are
still
changing
the
spine.
Let's
make.
Q
Please
sure
so
I
guess
I
was
starting
to
say:
I,
don't
see,
you
know
the
our
broader
effort
to
address
supply
issues
being
ended
if
we
as
the
difference
between
12
and
14
I,
do
think
it's
it's
a
little
challenging
because
there's
a
so
much
about
Community
benefits,
that's
at
the
site
plan
stage,
but
I
think
that
the
staff
has
been
thorough
and
I
think
that
it
sort
of
fair
in
listening
to
our
community,
both
those
who
shared
their
thoughts
and
we
have
received
about
10
letters,
I
think
in
support
of
additional
density,
read
those
and
also
have
engaged
with
Neighbors
in
the
nearby
Civic
associations.
Q
I
suppose
it
also
is
probably
partly
informed
by
having
lived
Courthouse
side
and
and
thinking
a
little
bit
slightly
differently
about
the
Clarendon
side.
But
those
are
my
reasons.
I
think
the
staff's
work
has
been
thorough
and
I'd
move.
The
staff's
recommendation
right
I
have
moved
the
staff's
recommendation.
Great.
S
Mr
President,
just
briefly
Madam
chair,
I,
first
of
all,
I'm
very,
very
happy
to
see
that
that
Gap
in
the
in
in
the
corridor
and
finally
being
filled-
and
it's
especially
refreshing
to
to
to
hear
testimony
from
from
Mrs
Nolan
and
Mr
smarts
and
Miss
coffee
who
live
in
the
corridor
and
it's
a
bit
of
it
actually
who
live
in
the
corridor.
Who,
who
are
one
of
you
know
if,
if
we
consider
classes
of
citizens
of
residents
who
typically
engage
with
this
kind
of
in
conversations,
they
are
the
exception
there.
E
S
And
I
welcome
them
here.
They,
they
gave
us
an
enormous
insight
and
the
quality
of
life
that
they
expect,
how
they
live,
and
they
give
us
also
Insight
on
the
pressing
needs
of
you
know:
housing,
Supply
Etc.
This
is
really
very,
very
big
crisis
and
I'm,
absolutely
not
surprised.
You
know,
under
the
current
circumstances,
that
that
the
cry
for
more
density
for
additional
housing
Supply
is
getting
stronger
and
stronger
every
day.
Now
that
said,
this
is
these
are
buildings.
S
This
is
an
urban
environment
that
will
be
with
us
for
a
very
long
time,
and
this
is
the
the
viability
of
that
the
ability
to
distribute
density,
to
provided
a
great
environment
that
is
supported
with
us
as
Transportation
public
facilities,
public
spaces
Etc
includes
taking
into
account
Urban,
Design
and
I
do
believe
that
staff
has
done
a
very
thorough
job
in
balancing
it
very,
very
difficult
task
here.
S
So
I
do
believe
that
12
stories
is
a
good
compromise
for
this
space
pending,
really
an
evolution
of
thinking
on
you
know
what
is
the
21st
century
answer
to
the
design
requirements
for
a
an
urban
Corridor
that
are
lost
in
Boston
Corridor
I?
Do
believe
that
distributed
density
is
now
way
more.
S
You
know
current.
This
is
a
better
way
to
to
think
about
the
corridor.
The
the
Bullseye
Concept,
in
my
opinion
and
I
agree
with
those
who
see
that
it
begins
to
ex
you
know,
expire
historically,
we
have
seen
it
already
and
in
the
transition
or
a
non-transition
between
Boston
and
Virginia
Square,
for
example,
or
a
little
bit
further
down
so
I
do
think
that
we
have
a
completely
different
situation
today.
S
I
also
want
to
remind
remember
that
reminder
that,
according
to
the
literature
I
read,
the
bullseye
concert
was
also
part
of
a
political
compromise
based
on
the
situation
of
the
time
which
wanted
to
use
the
bullseye
concept
as
a
containment
of
urban
development.
At
some
point,
they
were
powerful
political
currents
that
wanted
less
than
five
stops
in
Arlington
in
on
the
Ross
in
Boston
Corridor.
They
were
talking
about
four
stops,
which
would
you
know
make
the
bullseye
bullsey
is
even
smaller
compared
to
the
to
the
entire
availability
of
urban
territory.
S
So,
for
these
reasons
and
to
me,
the
the
street
and
how
the
proportions
work
and
the
vistas
and
how
The
Pedestrian
perceives
that
is,
is
extremely
important.
Design
matters,
as
as
all
other
things
that
said,
I
do
believe
that
there
is
that
we
can
go
that
there
is.
You
know
we
can
be
more
expansive,
but
for
this
in
in
terms
of
density,
but
for
this
building,
I
think
that
this
this
block
I,
think
the
12
stories
represents
a
good
and
acceptable
compromise
for
everybody.
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
First,
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what's
informing
what
will
be
a
substitute
motion
recommendation
I'm
about
to
make
you
know,
I
very
much
appreciate
Ms
Chavez's,
testimony
earlier
outlining
how
this
may
be
a
little
bit
more
complex
than
it
seems
to
be
at
first
blush.
R
That's
that's
my
Baseline
and
and
then
also
I
I
project
that
forward,
knowing
that
this
building
is
going
to
be
a
vibrant
building
in
2050
probably
have
a
useful
life
up
until
2075,
and
you
know,
with
all
of
that
as
sort
of
background
I
see
that
12-story
recommendation
as
a
height
limit
is
a
comfortable
Choice
by
staff.
You
know,
given
the
mixed-use
medium
density
nature
of
this
it,
it
really
looks
to
minimize
impacts
for
the
daily
life
of
people
who
currently
surround
to
the
point
where
they're
not
appreciable
impacts.
R
We
don't
have
draws
on
our
infrastructure.
Beyond
what
we've
planned,
it
seems
like
the
comfortable,
safe
choice,
but
for
many
reasons,
I,
don't
believe
that
it's
we
have
the
the
comp
the
luxury
of
being
comfortable.
You
know
I,
think
Ms,
coffey's,
testimony
made
it
very
clear.
I
was
you
know
unaware
until
a
few
months
ago
that
we
had
gotten
into
the
point
where
the
bidding
wars
that
we
see
in
a
home
purchase
opportunities
is
actually
crept
into
the
rental
market.
R
You
know
I
had
never
known
such
a
concept
that
you
paid
anything
more
than
the
price
they
advertised
to
you
and
to
know
that
that's
not
only
change,
but
that's
the
norm
in
certain
hot
spots,
including
the
courthouse
area,
really
leads
me
to
not
really
want
to
be
comfortable
and
to
figure
out
how
we
can
stretch,
especially
since
we
are
looking
at
that
future
outlook.
That
said
is
I
think
about
16
stories.
R
That
seems
like
a
significant
stretch
beyond
what
we've
really
reasonably
contemplated
for
an
area
such
as
this
and
I'm
uncomfortable
going
there
without
any
broader
planning.
So,
colleagues,
at
the
risk
of
offering
something
that,
at
this
point,
has
not
developed
any
kind
of
public
constituency.
I
am
going
to
put
at
least
for
the
purposes
of
conversation,
a
motion
that
we,
the
board,
adopt.
The
resolution
attachment
one
attached
to
board
report
number
44
dated
September
12
2022
to
adopt
the
courthouse
West
special
General
land
use
plan.
R
R
If
I
could
just
offer
a
brief
of
y-14
and
not
12
beyond
what
I
just
said,
so
it
appears
for
me
from
my
interpretation
of
the
study
document
that
really
we're
talking
about
incremental
increases.
The
closer
we
are
to
12
above
12.,
and
you
know
at
14
stories.
I
see
this
as
being
an
appropriate
place
where
we're
able
to
balance
the
whole
idea
of
minimizing
any
negative
impact
versus
creeping
into
that
category.
Where
maybe
we're
stretching
too
far.
R
I
I
also
really
believe
that
this
ability
to
consider
additional
height
does
succeed
in
accomplishing
one
of
the
key
goals
at
least
alluded
to
on
the
plan,
and
that
is
to
look
at
this
site
as
a
very
interesting
and
novel
Gateway,
as
you
approach
from
the
West
to
looking
at
Courthouse
to
figuring
out
how
or
actually
the
either
direction
you're
coming
from,
but
to
think
about
this
site
as
a
Gateway
site,
so
that
it
really
signifies
a
sense
of
place
to
courthouse
which
I
think,
if
we're
all
being
honest,
it
really
maybe
doesn't
succeed
in
having
to
the
extent
that
it
possibly
could
with
some
more
interesting
ways
to
deal
with
architecture.
R
I,
do
note
also
that
the
two
stories
in
additional
height
and
any
additional
density,
that
that
would
mean
still
have
to
be
earned
and
I,
think
that's
something
that
has
not
been
you
know
necessarily
fully
absorbed
as
part
of
the
public
conversation.
The
plan
has
clear
goals
that
we
believe
can
be
achieved
at
a
level
of
12
stories,
maximum
height
anything
above
that
is
going
to
have
to
provide
clearly
articulable
benefits
beyond
that.
That
can
be
that
can
be
articulated.
A
T
Garvey
and
then
yeah
and
I'm
happy
to
Second
and
support
the
motion
for
all
the
reasons
laid
out.
I
and
I'd
like
to
just
I
I,
realize
I
think
maybe
we
ought
to
be
using.
The
term
earned
a
whole
lot
more
in
our
meetings,
because
people
keep
coming
in
and
I
understand,
it's
all
about
the
developers
in
there.
They
just
want
money,
sure
that's
the
there's
the
profit
motive,
but
often
what
drives
us
is
getting
something
for
the
community
more
park,
space,
more
affordable
housing.
T
It's
one
of
the
ways
that
we
can
help
build
this
community.
The
way
I
think
we
all
want
it
to
be
without
having
to
raise
taxes
more
than
we
already
do,
and
it
really
can
be
a
win-win
when
it
happens
correctly
and
I
also
understand.
I
was
thinking.
T
The
16
stories
felt
more
like
a
little
bit
of
a
leap
instead
of
a
stretch,
whereas
the
14
felt
like
a
bit
of
a
stretch
and
I
I
will
say
my
experience,
just
kind
of
trying
to
walk
around
and
think
about
Heights
and
how
it
affected
me
moving
around
and
realizing
that
if
there's
some
really
good
setback
and
good
design
that
it
doesn't,
it
feels
fine
to
me
I
realize
that's
a
that's
a
very
subjective
statement,
but
in
part,
because
I
couldn't
even
see
the
higher
the
higher
sections
and
so
I'm
willing
to
make
that
stretch.
T
T
There
are
a
lot
of
people
that
don't
have
the
time
and
aren't
inclined
to
do
it
and
I
think
this
can
feel
a
little
bit
intimidating
to
to
folks
who
haven't
been
here
as
much
as
most
of
us
have
at
any
rate,
I
I
think
it's
looking
forward.
50
75
years
long
after
I'll
be
gone.
It
feels
like
this
is,
is
making
a
step
and
and
pushing
Us
in
the
direction
that
we
need
to
go
and
keeping
it
a
good
Community.
T
I
will
finally
say
these
will
be
my
community
concluding
comments
as
well.
I,
don't
need
to
say
anything
more,
but
a
compliment
to
our
staff,
because
the
other
kind
of
look
observing
I've
been
doing
lately
is
when
I
drive
into
the
district,
which
I'm
doing
after
the
pandemic.
When
we're
traveling
a
little
more
is
noticing
in
many
places
it's
so
monochromatic
I
mean
the
Heights.
T
Excuse
me,
I,
don't
know
why
my
voice
is
just
Gravelly
I
think
it's
a
tree,
mold
The
Heights,
it's
so
like
it's
it
and
that
it
does
look
like
a
wall
and
then
I
look
back
at
Arlington
and
it
really
is
interesting
and
up
and
down
so
I
think
we're
succeeding
an
interesting
good
design
and
I'm
pleased
that
we're
doing
that.
So
thank
you
and
with
that
I'll
conclude
thanks.
Q
Chair
just
a
brief
thought
on
I'm,
trying
to
sort
of
I
think
we're
always
balancing.
We
must
serve
our
residents
and
we
also
must
think
about.
Our
residents
needs
in
the
5
10
15
20
year,
Horizon
and
I.
Guess
it's
additive
to
Mr,
dorsey's
thought,
I,
I,
I
think
the
reasoning
is
sound.
I
would
say
that
my
impression
of
the
listening
here
is
that
I
I
think
I
might
add
to
the
word
comfortable
in
saying
that
this
is
a
little
pushy.
Q
It's
it
might
not
be,
and
and
that's
and
listening
to
the
community
that
that's
why
I
was
sort
of
add
I,
think
you
got
a
fair
construct
and
that
I
do
not
believe
in
deferral
and
I
have
been
for
for
some
time
in
in
meetings
with
staff.
I
do
think
that
it
is
very
important
I
might
park
in
that
parking
lot
sometime,
but
it
should
not
exist
that
should
be
density.
Q
So
I
think
that's
why
I
I'm,
not
quite
there
on
the
substitute
but
I'm,
also
not
in
a
place
to
say
that
if
it's
earned
I
don't
want
us
to
move
forward.
I
think
we
have
to
so
I
hope,
that's
relevant
to
making
my
case
and
and
Counting
the
votes
that
I
might
not
have
them.
S
Thank
you,
Mr
Dorsey,
I,
hear
you
and
and
I
I
I
can't
imagine
a
situation
where
we
couldn't
be
responsive
to
what's
happening
in
the
market.
Right
now,
I
mean
this,
the
the
not
not
on
the
Miss
coffee
I
mean
we
are
hearing
I
I'm
hearing
from
constituents.
Absolutely
horrible
stories
about
you
know:
rent
increases
that
are
way
above
10
percent,
new
new
contracts
that
that
you
know
jack
up.
The
the
price
at
plus,
20,
plus
25,
even
plus
30
social
media,
is
full
of
that.
I.
S
Think
it's
credible
in
the
region.
We're
talking
about
rental
price
gouging.
There
is
even
public
talk
about
rent
control,
I
mean
this
is
this
is
really
a
very
deep
crisis
and-
and
it's
very
and
and
I
am
you
know
recognizing
that
we
cannot
be?
We
cannot
Overlook
that
where
the
fact
are
not
overlooking
that
already
by
affording
the
the
12th
story
additional
density,
so
that
said
is.
S
Is
it
part
of
your
thinking
that,
with
the
site
plan
that
we
have
to
expect
here,
that
our
expectation
in
the
package
of
of
of
of
public
benefits
will
be
even
more
aggressive
in
terms
of
affordable
housing
in
terms
of
sustainability
in
in
terms
of
of
the
quality
of
the
public
space?
Etc
is:
does
this
go
with
that,
and
also
better
design
for
this
building?.
R
Yeah,
thank
you,
Mr
Karen
Thomas.
You
know
that.
Does
you
know
I
know.
Staff
has
an
analysis
of
what
would
be
the
expected
range
of
community
benefits
that
might
be
imputed
from
certain
levels.
I
expect
that
Baseline
to
be
adjusted
based
on
a
proposal
that
is
submitted
and
evaluated
accordingly.
So
what
that
means
in
actuality?
It's
not
for
me
to
suggest
it
could
be
in
the
form
of
housing.
It
could
be
in
the
form
of
design
it
could
be
in
the
form
of
open
space
or
all
of
the
above
I.
A
A
Make
some
comments
and,
and
have
them
be
my
concluding
ones
as
well,
so
the
there
are
a
couple
of
things
that
are
Salient
to
me,
a
big
one
is
one
that
Miss
Garvey
is
actually
just
talking
about,
which
is
you
know
how
the
additional
stories
are
experienced
from
the
ground
plane,
which
is
why
I
asked
Mr
Murphy
a
number
of
questions
about
sort
of
the
expectations
regarding
tapering.
A
The
other
thing
that
matters
a
lot
to
me.
You
know
absent,
really,
I
I
think
we're
I'm.
You
can
see
how
much
we're
grasping
for
having
the
guidance
that
that
are
relatively
fresh
sector
plan
might
give
us
right
and
absent
that
we're
looking
for
indications
of
what
fits
into
this
planning
context.
A
What
pushes
the
envelope
a
little
bit
because
I
very
much
associate
myself
with
Mr
dorsey's
desire,
given
the
housing
crisis
in
which
we
find
ourselves,
you
know,
but
but
but
what
relates
to
expectations
in
the
existing
environment
as
well
as
bridging
to
a
50-year,
hence
environment,
and
so
for
me,
you
know
we're
not
just
setting
precedent.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
follow
it
and
I
think
really
looking
at
and
thinking
about
some
of
the
presidential
buildings
images.
Recent
approvals
has
been
very
helpful
for
me.
A
You
know
I
think,
for
example,
about
one
of
the
projects
that
was.
We
voted
for
relatively
early
in
our
tenure,
Mr,
Dorsey
and
I-
that
2000
Clarendon
site
right,
which
is
a
great
example
of
14
stories,
and
and
really
thought
a
lot
about
how
that
would
fit
in
close
to
a
metro
station
but
consistent
with
the
the
the
spine
again
along
the
Orange,
Line
Corridor
and
I
I
do
believe
that
14
stories
is
appropriate
here
I.
A
Would
it
would
be
my
expectation
that
those
additional
stories
would
be
spent
so
to
speak
in
establishing
more
of
that
tapering.
Certainly,
balancing
more
of
that
building.
Focusing
the
you
know
the
main
Corridor
and
stepping
down
to
the
building.
I
I
actually
think-
and
we
talk
about
this
quite
often
that
oftentimes,
it
is
additional
height
that
allows
us
to
both
achieve
a
sculpted
building
and
not
for
nothing,
potentially
more
open
space
right
and
so
that's
meaningful
here,
because
I
do
think.
A
Based
on
what
we've
heard
from
community
members,
there
is
a
strong
desire
for
thinking
about
that
text
of
a
site
plan.
So
I
am
for
the
reasons
I
think
Mr
Dorsey
described
as
well
as
those
design
pieces,
supportive
of
that
idea
of
14
stories
at
least
again.
The
club
study
always
about
setting
the
box
right
with
very
high
expectations
for
the
community
benefits
that
would
be
delivered
within
it
as
well.
As
you
know,
the
potential
for
for
sculpting
that
those
additional
two
stories
might
enable
yeah.
A
Just
in
conclusion,
too
I
you
know,
I,
don't
want
to
be
naive
and
how
much
having
clear
and
modernized
expectations
about
height
and
density
and
our
philosophy
about
that
along
the
quarter
will
alleviate
some
of
the
frustrations
experienced
by
I
would
say,
especially
our
Civic
leaders,
right
those
who
are
trying
to
manage
Civic
associations
in
some
ways.
They
are
you
know
and
mischoff,
especially
in
her
comments.
They
are
doing
a
version
of
what
we
are
doing
right,
which
is
trying
to
find
consensus
among
different
points
of
view
and
I
know.
A
You
know,
I
think
her.
Testimony
really
emphasized
that
a
lot
of
those
questions
and
efforts
to
seek
consensus.
What
is
lacking
are
the
the
types
of
insights
that
will
only
come
with
a
site
plan,
or
maybe
with
a
multi-year,
really
fulsome
sector
plan.
So
I
don't
mean
to
suggest
simply
if
we,
if
we
modernize
our
expectations
about
our
height
and
density
philosophy,
all
will
be
resolved.
Nevertheless,
I
think
for
reasons.
The
Planning
Commission
surfaced
really
well.
A
Ms
Alexander
surfaced
in
her
comments
that
is
really
needed,
and
so
just
want
to
underscore
my
support
for,
for
what
sounds
like
is
going
to
be
some
thinking
from
our
staff
coming
as
part
of
the
five-year
comprehensive
plan
review
to
really
engage
in
that
conversation
as
a
community
I
like
Mr
Karen
tones
really
appreciated
the
the
perspective
of
renters
in
particular,
which
is
one
in
my
tenure,
has
often
been
lacking.
A
I
think
it
is
very
helpful
and
I
hope
you
know,
for
those
who
asked
us
questions,
some
of
which
we're
in
Earnest
about
you
know,
sort
of
who
to
whom
is
the
board
listening
I
think
it's
really
important
to
know
that
there
are
a
variety
of
opinions
among
neighbors
I'll.
Just
note,
I
think
sometimes
these
Expressions
about
well.
A
Nevertheless,
as
much
as
we
might
want
to
Blue
Sky
our
way
out
of
that
into
a
a
system,
more
of
of
social
housing,
we
do
live
in
that
system
and
unless
you
live
in
a
committed,
affordable
unit,
every
single
one
of
us
lives
in
a
home
that
somebody
made
money
making
and
so
I
I
hope
that
we
as
a
community
in
this
Harkins
system.
The
conversations
we
were
having
this
morning
can
really
have
these
questions
and
conversations
and
context
of
neighbors
having
different
perspectives.
A
People
who
live
in
different
types
of
housing
having
different
perspectives,
people
who
have
different
aspirations
for
the
community
have
having
different
perspectives,
not
as
a
matter
of
the
the
first
order
of
somebody
who
might
be
making
money.
I
think
that
these
are
really
important
conversations
that
we
can
have
among
ourselves
all
with
intentions
solely
of
the
betterment
of
our
Collective
community.
Q
A
Sure
sure,
okay,
so
Mr
Dorsey
14
stories
as
we
adopt
the
special
Club
study
documents
is
on
the
table,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
substitute,
please
say:
aye
I,
yes
substitute.
Okay,
all
those
opposed.
Please
say:
no,
no,
okay!
So
that
passes
three
to
two
and
becomes
the
main
motion
Mr.
We
need
to
take
a
second
vote
on
the
main
motion.
A
No,
we
do
okay,
so
before
we
that
now
becomes
the
main
motion
before
we
vote
on
that
main
motion
which
now
14
stories,
I
will
open
the
floor
for
comments.
Mr,
defranti,
I'll,.
Q
Be
brief,
it
was
what
led
me
on
the
community
on
the
substitute
was
Community
engagement
in
this
particular
case,
amidst
a
less
than
bright
line,
clear
planning
environment,
but
if
the
choices
between
deferral
or
less
than
12
stories,
I've
heard
the
comments
on
earning
the
additional
two
stories
and
I
can't
ignore
the
supply
problem.
As
recently
as
two
different
civic
association
meetings
and
conversations
this
week,
folks
said
they
had
they,
they
really
love
Transit
oriented
development.
Q
S
I
was
the
second
one
who
thought
that
fortune
is
still
a
little
bit
too
much
the
there
is
definitely
I
mean
this.
Of
course,
the
additional
stories
are
still
inside
the
philosophy
and
the
idea
and
and
they
the
broader
expectation
of
delivering
density,
where
it
belongs,
where
the
assets
are
where
the
people
are
and
where,
if
problems
can
be
solved,
among
them
also
the
housing
problem.
Whether
while
this
is
not
a
you
know,
the
the
Silver
Bullet
here,
it
is
an
addition,
is
additional
Supply
and
I
I.
S
Remember
always
that,
even
as
a
jurisdiction
and
regionally,
we
committed
the
Cog
to
to
to
commit
housing
resources
where
the
activity,
centers
and
and
the
opportunity
centers
as
well
going
up
to
14
stories
just
adds
an
additional
layer
of
of
responsibility.
Not
only
the
public,
Outreach
and
I
know
that
and
I'm
speaking
out
to
Mr
null
on
as
a
future
applicant
here
to
to
make
an
a
significant
effort
in
in
producing
a
a
great
building.
Building
that
works
with
a
community
where
Community
can
see
the
benefits.
S
I
can
see
the
Improvement
of
the
public
Realm
of
the
pub
of
the
of
the
quality
of
life
around
this
building.
That
adds
to
the
urban
feeling
of
Clarendon
and
redefines
it
for,
for
the
time
where
we
are
living
and,
in
addition,
delivers
on
critical
critical
public
benefits
and
I
would
start
with
housing
and
I
agree
with
Miss
Crystal
on
on
this
size
and
quality
of
the
public
space.
S
And
since
you
are
Mr
Nolan
representative
company,
that
is
one
of
the
first
who
built
a
lead
Platinum
building
here,
if
I
remember
correctly,
so
I'm
I'm
happy
to
that
that
you
will
be
on
the
other
side
of
the
table
when
we
will
have
to
discuss
a
very
high
level
of
lead
and
I
have
high
expectations
that
this
will
be
possible
with
this
additional
two
two
stories.
S
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
do
appreciate
Mr
Karen,
Thomas
and
Mr
deferante
for
signaling
support
of
something
that
ultimately
is
perhaps
a
little
bit
beyond
their
comfort
zone.
It
I
do
not
take
that
lightly
and
I
will
just
note
that
this
attempt
to
try-
and
you
know
sort
of
think
about
this,
while
adhering
to
our
principles
while
also
managing
to
try
and
be
as
responsive
to
as
we
can
to
near-term
and
future
needs,
is
what
I
hope
will
typify
the
sprc
process,
the
level
of
flexibility
and
openness
to
thinking
about
new
things.
R
Just
as
this
particular
action
that
it
seems
the
board
is
poised
to
take
today
differs
from
the
staff
recommendation,
as
well
as
the
initial
proposal
for
this
glove
study
and
create
sort
of
a
new
approach
or
a
new
limit.
I
hope
that
same
Spirit
of
looking
at
this
specifically
guides
the
sprc
process.
While
I
know
many
people
who
have
followed
processes
in
the
past
have
walked
away
with
a
perception
that
the
developers
always
get
their
way.
You
know
one.
R
This
proceeding
is
an
example
of
how
that
does
not
happen
and
should
also
provide
confidence
during
the
sprc.
It
need
not
happen
there
again,
whether
they
propose
something
at
14
stories
or
something
else.
I
hope.
The
excellent
studies,
guiding
principles
and
vision
as
articulated,
is
the
sole
basis
for
how
their
project
is
determined
to
be,
in
conformance
with
what
we
want
as
a
County.
So
I
I
look
forward
to
what
is
to
come
and
that's
it.
A
Thanks
so
much
I
believe
that
we
are
ready
for
a
vote
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right
that
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you
very
much
to
the
Planning
Commission,
and
particularly
to
our
staff,
Mr
Murphy,
in
specific,
for
their
very
good
work
here,
all
right,
Mr
Jacob.
So
we
have
any
other
items
to
come
before
the
board.
Today
we
do
not
all
right
with
that.
We
are
going
to
adjourn
until
Tuesday
the
20th
at
3
pm
see
everyone
there.
