A
Okay,
I
think
we're
good.
Okay
thanks
Alex,
so
welcome
to
our
Housing
Commission
meeting.
We
are
one
person
short
of
Quorum,
so
we
will
not
be
taking
any
actions
until
we
receive,
or
until
we
have
one
more
person
arrive,
but
we
are
going
to
start
on
the
agenda
so
we're
going
to
skip
approval
of
the
notes,
because
that
requires.
B
A
Vote
and
before
we
get
to
the
Americana
Hotel,
just
there
are
two
items
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up
with
the
commission.
One
was
hey,
we
have
four
one
was
the
email
that
I
sent
out
about
having
two
meetings
in
May,
one,
a
joint
meeting
with
the
tenant
landlord
commission
to
have
the
update
from
cphd
on
their
steps
to
implement
the
long-term
strategies
document,
as
well
as
working.
C
A
Not
hear
back
from
everyone,
but
it
seemed
like
a
number
of
people
who
came
with
it.
Some
people
couldn't
make
it.
It
will
not
be
at
the
Serrano
it's
going
to
be
just
here
because
they
didn't
have
didn't,
have
the
audio
available
capabilities
to
do
the
hybrid.
B
A
A
A
So
that
would
be
I
mean
we
could
we
could
do
either
our
meeting
on
the
fourth
virtually
or
that
one
virtually,
although
I
do
feel
that
doing
a
join
me
with
TLC
probably
is
better
to
have
that
in
person.
But
if
people
feel
like
that's
a
lot
and
they're,
you
know
back
to
back
one
week
into
the
next
week
our
media
on
board
virtually,
but
that
would
be
our
last
version.
A
I,
don't
think
that's
the
only
agenda,
yeah,
so
I'm
sure
there
will
be
discussion
but
I,
it's
just
that.
So
hopefully
it
won't
be
more
than
two
hours.
A
F
H
I
think
I'll,
you
know
move
in
whatever
the
majority
of
this
group
feels
but
I
feel
like
we
as
a
commission.
H
We
spend
a
lot
of
time
deservedly
on
Serrano,
but
I
think
we
might
be
able
to
move
a
little
bit
quicker
if
it
went
like
back
to
the
subcommittee
that
the
commission
could,
like
you
know,
move
forward
with
the
commission
business
I
know
the
issues
are
Urgent
I
do
care
deeply
about
them,
but
when
I
think
about
how
many
hours
we
spend
as
an
entire
Commission
on
one
property,
it's
been
a
lot
of
our
time.
This.
A
All
the
cap
strategies,
so
it's
and
I
think
staff
is
really
stressed
out
as
well
that
like
when
we
ask
them
to
have
it
at
the
Toronto
they're
like.
Why
do
you
want
to
have
it
what's
wrong
with
the
season
about
this
Toronto?
A
A
This
is
important
for
us
to
cover
as
a
as
a
whole
commission,
and
we
have
been
talking
to
January,
so
I
I
don't
want
to
back
out
of
having
that
discussion
for
the
full
commission,
but
certainly
if
people
can't
attend
that
night,
that's
okay
and.
H
A
Yeah
and
during
our
May
meeting
I
want
to
talk
about
subcommittees
because
right
now
the
only
one
we
have
is
the
homeownership
ownership.
One
I
know
specifically
I
think
this
is
Russia
staff
had
asked.
Can
we
go
to
the
person
order?
Subcommittee
and
I
was
like?
We
don't
technically
have
one
chairs
for
that,
and
so
that's
something
that
I
want
to
bring
to
the
do.
You
think
we're
our
meeting
of.
C
A
Well,
as
I
have
recommended
revisions
to.
A
And
a
Equity
Housing
Commission
equity
for
us
to
consider
and
for
how.
We
should
include
corporate
Equity
into
the
decisions
that.
C
A
A
F
A
You
see
if
you
can
see
the
tent
okay,
that's
okay,
like
I,
said
it'll
be
recorded
and
you
know,
and
if
people
aren't
able
to
make
it
and
they
have
questions
or
things
that
they
share
with
other
Commissioners,
they
can
always
do
that.
So
again,.
B
A
Just
one
topic
and
I'll
see
if
staff
is
able
to
send
anything
in.
C
A
A
C
A
May
4th
is
a
regular
meeting
and
that
one
we
will
plan
to
do
virtually.
F
It
does
sound
like
the
the
sound
is
not
projecting
well,
so
you
could
try
to
project
it's
it's
not
these
speakers
I
know
it's
confusing.
It's
these
ones
up
here
on
the
ceiling.
Okay,.
A
Thanks
Ann
and
the
other
item
was
around
the
sprc
process,
so
I
attended
an
spfcu
meeting
for
the
Wakefield
Manor
property
and
the
Redevelopment
of
that
parking
lot
and
I
was
I
was
really
just
made
that
there
was
no
tenant
representation
at
the
meeting.
I
used
to
be
a
tenant
there
for
about
10
years,
so
I
had
a
lot
of
comments
and
feedback,
but
when
I'd
asked
staff
you
know
why
is
there?
A
Why
is
known
from
the
property
who's
a
resident
there,
but
we
have
represented
from
the
condos
across
the
street.
The
answer
was
well,
it's
hard
to
get
tenants
involved
and
they
don't
have
a
representative
structure.
So
we
we
just
didn't,
include
them
and
so
I
sent
an
email
to
I
had
a
planning
Division
and
the.
C
A
Of
the
Planning
Commission
say,
like
hey,
we've
talked
about
this
previously
in
the
Housing
Commission
that
we
need
to
have
10
Representatives,
especially
when
the
pre-development
of
the
department
building,
especially
like
a
cap
I
know.
We
talked
about
this
with
Marabella
that
really
disappointing
that
none
of
the
residents
at
the
Mirabella
were
at
the
table.
A
C
A
Head
of
their
sbrc
subcommittee
about
some
steps
that
the
Planning,
Commission
and
staff
can
potentially
take
to
not
just
try
and
get
tenants
to
be
present,
but
also
to
do
more
Outreach
and
make
sure
that
there's
better
consultation.
A
And
so
they're
running
that
down,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
was
that
is
going
to
potentially
require
more
resources
from
the
planning
division
and
they
brought
up
that
the
county
manager's.
B
A
Was
recommending
cutting
one
of
the
planners
from
the
planning
Division,
and
so
they
asked
us.
Would
you
be
willing
to
go
back
to
the
County,
Board
and
sort
of
amend
your
budget
letter
and
say
you
know
we?
Don't
we
don't
want
you
to
cut
any
planners
from
planning
division?
Here's
additional
needs.
It's
going
to
be
really
important,
especially
if
we're
looking
our
tenants
have
a
voice
in
the
processes
that
directly
impact
their.
B
A
C
K
J
This
is
Paul.
Can
you
all
hear.
A
Me
yes,
awesome.
Thank
you.
Okay,
I
will
send
them
an
addendum
to
our
budget
letter
requesting
that
they
not
cut
the
planner
position
and
providing.
C
C
B
A
That
I
wanted
to
discuss
with
you
all
that
we're
not
on
the
agenda.
We
can
go
back
to
approval
of
the
notes,
any
edits
on
the
notes.
A
Okay,
second
and
again,
just
all
those
in
favor
of
proving
the
notes
say:
aye
aye,
aye,
okay,.
A
I
think
we
need
to
roll
call
right
if
I'm
doing
voice
vote
and
we
have
those
engines,
yeah,
I,
think
so.
Yeah,
okay
and
I've
heard
you
Alex
on
that.
Okay,
thanks
Alex,
okay
sounds
good
and
then
our
next
item,
since
we
have
no
public
comment-
is
the
Americana
Hotel.
F
So
good
evening,
everyone
here
and
online,
my
name
is
Alex
McMillan
I'm
with
the
housing
division.
I'm.
The
development
team
and
I
will
be
kicking
this
off
before
passing
it
over
to
the
Americana
Hotel
team,
so
Americana
Hotel
site
plan.
F
It's
at
1400,
Richmond
Highway
in
Crystal,
City
and
JVG
Smith
proposes
the
demolition
of
the
current
Americana
Hotel
building
and
the
development
of
a
19-story
residential
building
with
ground
floor.
Retail
there's
proposed
to
be
639.
C
C
L
B
F
F
F
At
the
Crystal
City
contributions
that
have
been
rezoned
to
CEO
Crystal
City,
going
back
to
2013.,
see
there
are
a
handful
of
sites.
The
first
couple
the
county
did
achieve
that
that
goal
of
20
on
site.
However,
the
last
few
which
this
commission
has
heard
in
the
last
few
years,
which
are
1900
Crystal,
Drive
Plaza
one
and
Crystal
Plaza
five-
they
all
did
off-site
units
at
River
House,
which
is
nearby
and.
F
F
So,
looking
at
the
affordable
housing
program
at
the
site,
the
base
is
about
2.1
million
dollars
or
15
on-site
units
or
22
off-site
nearby
units
or
29
off-site
units
for
the
urn
density
on
the
site.
There's
a
7.5
a
little
bit
over
7.5
million
dollar
AF
contribution.
F
So
there
are
a
few
policy
considerations
that
staff
made
when
making
this
decision
to
do
cash
instead
of
on-site
units.
The
first
of
these
is
leveraging
Cash
contributions,
often
leverage
more
affordable
units
off-site
and
for
longer
affordability
periods
than
on-site
caps.
This
is
especially
the
case
for
projects
located
in
areas
where
the
rent
differential
between
market
and
affordable
rents
are
especially
High.
F
F
In
comparison,
the
county
would
only
receive
probably
between
25
to
30
units
on
site
at
the
new
Americana
Hotel
Site
through
that
site
plan
process,
and
then
another
big
point
there.
The
units,
for
example,
at
Crystal
houses,
would
be
affordable
up
to
99
years.
Instead
of
that
standard
30-year
term
that
is
received
through
site
plans,
so
by
doing
this,
it
really
is
about
three
times
as
many
units
being
leveraged
for
about
three
times
as
long.
F
The
second
consideration
is
the
budget
Outlook,
so
the
county
currently
has
significant
recent
and
anticipated
Financial
commitments,
including
crystal
houses,
and
also
the
Barcroft
Apartments.
The
county
is
expecting
an
ahif
request
of
about
53
million
dollars
for
crystal
houses
and
then
also
opened
a
150
million
dollar
line
of
credit
to
help
acquire
and
keep
the
Barcroft
departments
affordable
for
99
years.
F
C
F
Consideration
here
is
the
goals
of
the
Crystal
City
sector
plan.
The
AF
contribution
would
further
maximizing
the
stock
of
cash
in
Crystal
City
by
providing
the
subsidy
to
the
nearby
crystal
houses
project
and
then
the
Crystal
City
sector
plan
also
has
a
recommendation
of
prioritizing
the
use
of
cash
contributions,
earned
in
Co
Crystal
City
to
be
used
for
county-funded,
affordable
projects
in
the
plan
area.
C
M
Basically,
next
door
to
Amazon
hq2
and
then
to
our
right,
you'll,
see
Route
One
theoretically
is
coming
to
grade
as
a
large-scale
VDOT
project.
M
I
saw
just
touched
on
some
brief
highlights.
I
saw
our
zoning
summary.
We've
got
about
527
000
square
feet
of
growth
square
footage.
We
have
about
3
800
square
feet
of
retail
square
footage.
That's
going
to
be
on
this
East
Side
as
part
of
achieving
sector
plan
goals
of
activating
an
S3
we're
looking
at
639
units
as
of
today
about
200
feet
in
height
across
those
19
stores,
and
we
have
180
parking
spaces
on
site
that
are
comprised
of
two
levels
of
below
grade
parking
and.
M
We
took
advantage
of
the
zoning
state
ments
they
have,
which
one
of
you
another
property
adjacent
to
Mars,
the
Bartlett
that
has
excess
parking
and
so
we're
attributing.
M
M
Here's
just
a
quick
ground
floor
plan,
so
I'll
just
briefly
go
through
some
of
the
items.
Color
coded
in
the
legend
like
I,
said
for
the
retail
portion
of
the
site.
It's
here
where
my
cursor
is
the
green
area
will
be
our
Lobby
in
front
of
the
house.
Space
adjacent
to
that
is
this
red
area,
where
we
have
Leasing
and
office
space
for
the
concierge
team
and
the
property
management
team.
We'll.
M
Was
strategically
located
next
to
this
exit
here
so
that
the
package
and
delivery
next
to
loading
zone
can
be
pretty
direct
and
folks
who
are
making
those
deliveries
don't
have
a
difficult
time
getting
to
where
they
need
to
go.
Additionally,
as
I
just
mentioned,
we
have
our
parking
loading
docks
that
when
you
come
off
each
tree,
you
make
this
turn
here
towards
the
south
of
the
building,
and
this
is
your
garage
entry
and
then
we've
got
the
mechanical,
showing
him
to
start
your
grade
again.
M
M
C
M
B
M
C
M
To
building
we
have
neighbors
neighbor
South,
and
we
had
an
opportunity
to
create
an
expression
in
a
moment
at
Accenture
facade,
and
we
really
felt
that
this
form
and
shape
was
do
that.
We're
really
impressed
with
how
it
came
out
so
happy
to
see
that
it's
looking
like
it's
going
to
make
it
to
the
finish
line
on
the
right
side.
We
have
our
residential
entry
from
the
alternate
view,
so
this
would
be
the
entrance
of
being
at
your
back.
You're
looking
out
between
streams
here
are
aware
of.
M
Hq2
is
Med
Park,
which
is
just
a
short
walk
across
the
street.
For
those
also
worth
mentioning
on
the
slide.
Through
the
4-point
process
and
working
with
staff,
we
increase
the
amount
of
biofil
look
at
Elements
shown
in
this
space,
so
that
includes
this
wooden
material,
soffit,
some
of
the
plantings
and
the
wood
Elements
shown
at
the
pitches.
M
M
G
F
So
there
are
crystal
house
one
and
two
already
on
the
site:
yeah,
those
are
I'm
not
exactly
sure
but
mostly
affordable,
if
not
all
affordable,
but
what
I
was
referring
to.
Mostly
in
my
presentation
was
the
infill
development
opportunity.
F
So
the
county
is
in
an
agreement
with
apple
and
eya
to
develop
those
sites
crystal
house
three,
four:
five,
six
and
seven
that
will
be
adding
655,
affordable
units
as
well
as
about
189
Market
rental
units,
and
then
there
will
also
be
home
ownership,
Market,
home
ownership
opportunities
at
that
site.
So
it's
a
it's
a
multi,
okay,.
F
So
yes,
that's
another
point
that
was
not
touched
on
presentations
both
this
and
that
project
are
both
going
to
be
new
construction.
Okay,
good.
G
L
L
M
F
I
Remember
how
much
did
that
run
as
far
as
a
Junior
versus
one
like?
What's
the
difference
Tennessee,
what
kind
of
like
marketing
you're
targeting
yeah.
J
Thanks,
yes,
thank
you,
so
the
thinking
about
the
on-site
versus
off-site
question
doesn't
this
result.
I
mean
I.
I,
definitely
understand
the
benefit
of
having
cash
to
fund
the
Gap
financing
necessary
to
produce
the
crystal
houses.
Affordable,
housing,
that's
been
committed,
but
doesn't
this
result
in
ultimately
fewer
affordable
units?
J
I
mean
those
are
those
are
an
unfunded
mandate
in
crystal
houses,
but
at
least
they're
dedicated,
affordable
income
and
and
intended
to
be
so
I.
Just
wonder
what
staff,
how
staff
would
respond
to
that
that
we're
getting
money
but
we're
not
getting
any
more
current
housing
opportunities
for
people.
F
Yeah,
so
we
are
right
getting
the
cash
now
and
based
on
a
couple
of
things
that
I
talked
to
really
in
conjunction
with
each
other,
the
budget
Outlook
as
well
as
that
leveraging
piece.
We
will
not
be
getting
any
on-site
units
at
this
new,
this
new
Americana
site,
but
what
we
will
be
doing
is
ensuring
that
we
can
meet
the
commitments
that
have
already
been
made.
F
I
would
say
that
you
know.
Historically,
it
has
been
our
practice
to
get
on-site
units,
but
just
given
the
larger
commitments
and
tight
budgets
we
may
be.
You
know
in
this
case,
exploring
cash
in
lieu
of
those
on-site
units
and
I
think
it.
It
makes.
F
Even
so,
in
this
case,
because
those
off-site
units
are
nearby
they're
in
the
same
neighborhood
and
then,
of
course,
being
able
to
yield
about
three
three
times
as
many
units
for
three
times
as
long
with
that
contribution
for
the
earned
bonus
density.
A
So
Alex
the
county
manager
in
his
budget,
which
we
talked
about
last
month,
he
cut
a
hit
in
half
in
his
proposal,
so
from
18.7.
A
Year
to
I
think
94.,
and
this
could
be
looked
at
as
just
you
know.
Well,.
A
Is
it
yeah
I
think
it
is
kind
of
sort
of
changing
us
a
bit,
which
is
why
I
hope
that
the
County
Board
takes
our
letter
to.
C
A
And
at
that
levels
we
can
never
meet
our
affordable
housing
goals
as
a
community.
A
To
sap
makes
that
decision
right.
This
is
where
the
money
is
going
to
be
spent.
F
Foreign
yeah,
so
I
I
think
the
first
you
know,
usage
of
ahif
is
to
meet
the
requirements
that
have
already
been
made.
For
example,
there's
you
know
death
service
that
has
already
been
committed
to
that
needs
to
be
paid,
and
then
there
are
also
projects
in
the
pipeline,
such
as
the
ones
that
have
also
had
commitments
towards
them,
and
then
you
know
really
it's
kind
of
what's
left
and
how
else
we
can
use
that
money
to
continue
to
preserve
and
create
more
units.
F
A
Buckingham
was
about
nine
million
dollars
a
year,
so
that's
basically
all
that
the
county
managers
recommend
you
know
so
that
total
for
amp
is
already
spoken
for
Debt,
Service
and
then
crystal
house.
F
C
F
That
is
not
a
number
I
know
off
the
top
of
my
head.
It
is
it's
it
changes
frequently
and
I,
don't
believe
we
have
our
asset
manager
on
this
evening.
Yeah,
that's
not
a
number
I
have
right
now.
I
will
say,
though,
that
53
million
for
crystal
houses
will
be
split
up
into
different
phases,
and
so
that
money
will
be
committed
at
different
times
over
the
next
three
to
four
years.
F
I
would
also
say
that
the
contribution
for
this
project
will
also
take
a
few
years
to
come
in
it
doesn't
hit.
The
ahif
account
right
away.
It's
at
the
certificate
of
occupancy
is
when
that
payment
is
made.
So
you
know
it
won't
alleviate
immediate
budget
pressures,
but
it
will.
A
Units
than
you
would
or
the
cash
contribution,
depending
on
how
that
money
is
spent,
but.
A
Issue
if
the
County
Board
and
the
manager
don't
ultimately
investment
levels
that
they
should
for
a
hip
and
they're,
just
relying
on
develop
our
contributions
to
make
up
for
the
commitments
that
we've
already
made
as
a
so
hopefully
that's
not
the
case.
You
know
we
wrote.
A
Talked
to
Matt
defonte
about
it.
C
N
H
N
H
M
H
Ers,
my
last
question
was
when,
when
was
the
last
jbg
project,
where
we
actually
had
committed
affordable
units
on
site-
I-
don't
remember
many
stuff,
but
mine
is.
M
M
M
Believe
the
Bartlett
may
have
been,
but
I'm,
not
certain
that
that's
the
Pentagon
State
technically
so
no
I
think
they
may
all.
The
ones
recently
have
been.
H
Is
it
would
it
rare
if
maybe
this
is
like
an
offline
discussion,
but
as
part
of
the
staff
presentation,
it
might
be
helpful
for
this
commission
to
see
you
know
like
hey.
This
developer
almost
always
puts
on
site,
or
you
know
you
know
this
developer
historically
doesn't
put
on-site
just
maybe
he
has
a
point
of
information.
It's.
F
A
That
on
that
article,
that
talks
about
the
Planning
Commission
discussion,
they
wrestled
with
the
idea
of
on-site
units
versus
cash
contributions
or
off-site,
and
some
some.
B
C
A
Other
people
said
well,
there's
pros
and
cons
of
doing
that
and
Constitution
cash
contributions.
You
tend
to
get
more,
especially
if
you're,
using
that
money
to
preserve
older
units
that
are
cheaper
versus
building
new.
B
A
That
are
more
expensive,
so
the
money
just
doesn't
go
as
far,
but
the
ordinance
in
general
I
think.
One
of
the
points
too
that
was
raised
is
that
the
the
test
contribution
I
think
a
lot
of
people
think
it's
just
not
nearly
enough,
and
it's
been
in
place
for,
like
20
years
now,
the
ordinance
yeah
almost
20
years,
yeah
a
little
bit
less
so
yeah
I.
A
Concern
too,
that
just
it
should
need
to
be
updated
yeah.
Obviously,
that
takes
an
act
of
the
legislature,
but
that,
as
things
have
gotten
more
valuable
real
estate
in
Arlington,
there's
at
least
a.
A
Advocates,
you
feel,
like
developers,
are
not
having
to
provide
as
much
for
affordable
housing
as
they
probably
should,
or
your
turn.
A
American
Hotel
and
there's
few
things
that
are
iconic
in
Arlington
and
hq2
was
gonna,
be
one
of
them
and
who
knows,
if
that's
even
going
to
be
built
now
the.
N
A
Thought
of
like
oh,
we
can
incorporate
this
sort
of
neon,
sign
and
sort
of
make
this
like
unique,
and
you
know-
and
that's
no
disrespect
to
the
plan
that
you
guys
performed
I,
think
it
looks
very
nice
and
would
be
a
great
place
to
live.
But
just
as
far
as
you
know,
I,
don't
know
what
the
name
of
it's
going
to
be
but
doing
putting.
N
C
That,
but
was.
M
C
C
M
Internally,
external
challenges
so
we're
first,
the
first
answer
to
your
questions:
we.
D
M
M
F
E
S
S
A
B
M
C
O
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
find
out
how
many
fully
accessible
type
A
units
you're
going
to
have
in
the
building
that
you're
building
639
units
in
total.
So
it's
a
very
significant
add
of
of
body
family
units,
so
I'm,
just
wondering
and
I'm
also
curious
about
what
the
price
ranges
are
going
to
be
for
units
in
that
building.
M
B
O
That's
only
be
13
units
that
are
available
and
accessible
to
people
with
disabilities,
no
matter
their
income
level,
let
alone
the
fact
that
if
I,
if
I
understand
The
Proposal
correctly,
will
be
adding
to
the
ahif
but
they'll
be
in
this
wonderfully
prominent
project.
You
know,
building
in
in
Crystal
City
near
the
subway
and
the
whole
thing
there
won't
be,
but
only
a
few
units
for
that
that
are
accessible
to
people
with
disabilities
and
I
I.
O
Just
think
that
that
that's
sad
and
I'm
saddened
by
the
fact
that
I'm
seeing
another
jbg
project
going
through
an
affordable
units
are
being
assigned
elsewhere.
So
that's
the
comment
that
I
wanted
to
make
Mr
chairman.
M
Just
to
add
to
that
we
had
an
accessibility
account
spic2.
We.
M
J
A
A
B
A
B
M
A
C
A
A
A
Just
in
the
meeting-
yes,
oh
right,
right,
okay,
well,
I'm!
First
on
here,
so
I
vote.
Yes,
commissioner,
Montgomery.
D
C
A
And
commissioner
circus,
yes,
commissioner,
Blake
yes,
yes,
Mr
Burkey
is
sick.
Commissioner
gilbray,
yes,
commissioner,
I
mean
here
yes
and
commission.
Me
is
not
with
us
right.
C
A
F
So
I
believe
we
have
Joel
Franklin
online,
so
I'll
pass
over
to
you.
Joel.
P
Yeah
good
evening
and
I
will
actually
turn
it
over
to
Hillary
Chapman,
with
the
Council
of
governments
and
Diane
Glover.
Who
is
our
consultant
on
the
project
to
kick
off
the
presentation,
foreign.
S
See
can
everyone
see
this
okay,
okay,
great,
okay,
good
so
good
evening,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
be
with
you
this
evening,
Hillary
Chapman
with
the
Council
of
governments
as
Joel
just
shared
first
one,
to
thank
and
acknowledge
the
eight
local
governments
and
their
staff
who've
come
together
to
make
this
Regional
fair
housing
plan
possible,
in
particular,
of
course,
Joel
Franklin,
who
you'll
hear
from
shortly
as
well
as
Jennifer
Daniels
enrolled.
S
The
Ned
who've
been
a
critical
part
of
our
local
government
project
team
and
I'm
thankful
to
be
joined
tonight
here
with
Diane
glauber
from
the
lawyers
committee
for
civil
rights
under
law
who's,
the
primary
author
for
the
draft
plan
that
we'll
be
sharing
with
you
this
evening
now
I
assume
that
probably
most
of
you
are
aware
what
the
analysis
of
impediments
to
fair
housing
choices
or
the
regional,
fair
housing
plan,
but
just
in
case
this
is
a
plan
that
typically
covers
five
years,
designed
to
develop
meaningful
actions
to
overcome
historic
patterns
of
segregation,
promote
for
housing,
choice
and
Foster
includes
of
communities
free
from
discrimination,
and
once
this
plan
is
fully
approved
at
the
local
and
federal
level,
and
it
will
guide
investment
decisions
of
federal
funds
in
Arlington
County
and
its
partner
governments
to
achieve
the
goals
that
are
outlined
and
you'll
hear
from
about
shortly.
S
So
before
I
dive
into
the
background
and
overview
of
some
of
the
regional
findings.
Just
want
to
remind
everyone
why
it's
important
to
focus
on
Fair
Housing
and
work
to
affirmatively
further
it,
because
this
lack
of
choice
can
impact
residents
lives.
It's
important
to
have
access
to
high
performing
schools,
diverse
communities,
transport,
Transportation
options
and
safe
and
healthy
neighborhoods
free
from
environmental
contamination.
S
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we've
got
it
like
governments
who
have
come
together
to
be
part
of
this
Team,
including
Arlington
County
in
Northern
Virginia.
S
The
county
is
joined
by
the
city
of
Alexandria,
Fairfax
County,
Loudoun,
County,
Prince,
William,
County,
the
District
of
Columbia
and
on
the
Maryland
side,
city
of
Gaithersburg
and
Montgomery
County,
we've
also
been
partnering
as
best
we
can
with
our
local
Housing
Authority
Partners,
and
we
have
a
fantastic
consultant
and
a
federal
technical
assistance
team.
S
That's
been
working
with
us
since
the
very
beginning,
HUD
has
been
partnering
with
us,
provided
technical
assistance
through
Enterprise
Community
Partners,
our
Consultants
that
have
been
working
with
us
to
create
our
plan
and
support
our
community
advisory
committee
led
by
the
lawyers
committee
for
civil
rights,
who
are
also
partnered
with
Urban
Institute,
who
was
our
lead
on
our
data
collection
and
Analysis
and
Ochoa
Urban
collaborative
who
is
the
lead
on
our
community
engagement?
S
Now,
as
I
mentioned
too,
another
key
group,
that's
been
guiding
the
regional
plans.
Development
is
the
community
advisory
committee,
and
these
groups
shown
here
represent
regionally
working
organizations
who
serve
residents
impacted
by
fair
housing
choice
and
the
advisory
committee's
role
is
to
provide
input
to
local
governments
and
serve
as
a
bridge
to
local
communities
throughout
this
process
and,
of
course,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
give
a
shout
out
to
Kellen
and
the
other
NAACP
chapters
that
have
been
part
of
this
planning
process
since
since
the
beginning.
S
So
for
context,
the
last
time
the
region
attempted
to
do
a
Regional,
Housing
Equity
plan
was
over
25
years
ago,
and
we
have
faced
a
number
of
different
challenges
over
the
years
beginning
in
2018.
But
we
are
now
moving
into
the
final
phase
of
the
planning
process
and
I'll
describe
to
you
at
the
very
end
when
we
share
next
steps
where,
where
we
are
in
our
process
and
what
we
anticipate
happening
next.
S
So
the
fair
housing
plan
includes
sections
that
are
region-wide,
such
as
contributing
factors
to
fair
housing
Choice,
as
well
as
elements
that
are
jurisdiction
specific.
So
the
draft
plan
has
is
a
a
rich
data
set
of
information
that
has
informed
the
draft
goals
proposed
in
this
plan.
On
this
slide
and
a
few
that
follow
are
just
a
few
of
the
davidographic
data
elements
that
are
likely
not
a
surprise
or
new
information
to
any
of
you,
but
we're
foundational
in
the
forming
of
Arlington
County's
goals
and
strategies.
S
So,
first,
a
majority
of
residents
in
Arlington
County
are
white,
but
the
proportion
of
Arlington's
residents
have
changed.
Racial
identities
have
changed
over
time,
notably
the
proportion
of
Asian,
Asian
or
Pacific
Islanders
has
grown
over
the
past
two
decades.
S
Spanish
is
the
most
prevalently
spoken
language
by
people
with
limited
English
proficiency
and
relatedly
among
newest
non-us
foreign
residents.
El
Salvador
is
the
most
common
country
of
origin,
however,
from
2015
to
2019,
the
proportion
of
Arlington
County
residents
with
limited
English
proficiency
declined
by
15
percent.
S
So
I'm
going
to
share
a
couple
of
other
Maps
just
two
maps
as
well,
that
are
specific
to
Arlington
County.
The
first
is
poverty
rates
by
by
census.
Tract
I
just
want
to
point
your
attention
to
the
fact
that
the
darker
areas
are
areas
with
higher
shares
of
people
and
living
in
poverty
levels.
S
So
the
Northwestern
and
Eastern
parts
of
the
county
have
lower
rates
with
many
tracks
less
than
five
percent,
and
this
is
the
source
where
this
was
the
American
Community
survey.
Data
back
in
2019..
S
Similarly,
again,
no
surprise
to
anyone
here,
median
rent
we
mean
this
is
the
half.
Reference
were
for
more
than
half
half
or
less
darker
areas
indicate
higher
cost
levels.
S
So
again,
this
is
a
map
representing
where
those
higher
cost
housing
cost
areas
are
40.
Almost
40
percent
of
the
tracks
have
we
need
in
rents
of
two
thousand
dollars
a
month
or
more
with
three
over
thirty
five
hundred
dollars
a
month,
foreign.
S
Among
our
some
of
our
region-wide
findings
on
the
community
engagement
side,
we
found
that
84
of
survey
respondents
noted
that
accessible
and
affordable
housing
is
hard
to
find
the
top
barriers
to
housing
choice
that
some
of
the
participants
identified
again.
S
You'll
hear
from
this
again
when
we
talk
about
our
strategies,
a
lack
of
affordability
is
our
top
obstacle
to
fair
housing,
Choice
in
Arlington
County
and
across
Metropolitan
Washington,
two
of
the
other
top
barriers
government
failure,
meaning
either
lack
of
resources
or
lack
of
sufficient
compliance
for
private
actors
and
racial
discrimination.
S
An
under
discrimination
13
of
respondents
noted
that
they
had
experienced
discrimination
and
of
those
of
that
13
41
reported
that
they
believe
landlords
or
property
owners
were
responsible
solutions
that
came
out
of
our
focus
group
discussions
a
lot
of
them
language
based
desire
for
more
Spanish-speaking,
counselors
and
program
materials
and
other
languages.
Besides
English
expanding
options
for
older
adults
to
age
in
place
and
also
better
compliance.
S
Another
region-wide
Finding
within
this
report
is
unfortunately,
we've.
This
Arlington
County
and
Metropolitan
Washington
has
experienced
increasing
levels
of
segregation
and
significant
disparities
in
Access
to
Opportunity
by
race
and
ethnicity
since
1990,
and
this
has
been
increasing,
not
plateauing
or
decreasing,
which
makes
Metropolitan
Washington.
Unfortunately,
a
little
bit
unique
in
the
United
States
segregation
is
most
severe.
Excuse
me,
the
strongest
between
black
and
white
residents
and
more
moderate
between
Hispanic
and
white
and
Pacific
Islanders,
and
by
access
to.
S
We
also
see
those
same
disparities
to
opportunity
by
race
and
ethnicity
and
by
opportunity
we're
referring
to
access
to
a
good
schools,
highly
proficient
schools,
healthy
neighborhoods,
without
lack
without
environmental
contamination,
access
to
high
capacity
Transit
and
jobs
and
access
is
almost
always
lower
for
Black
and
Hispanic
residents
than
than
white
residents.
S
So
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
this?
We
have
proposed
seven
Regional
goals
and
strategies.
These
goals
and
strategies
apply
not
just
to
Arlington
County,
but
all
of
the
other
partner,
local
governments
as
well
again
there.
They
are
informed
by
a
data
driven,
qualitative
and
quantitative,
gathered
multi-year
planning
process.
These
local
goals
will
be
implemented
not
just
in
Arlington
County
but
across
the
other
local
governments,
as
well
as
the
local
goals.
S
In
addition
to
these
shared
goals,
our
Arlington
County
you'll,
hear
from
Joel
shortly
also
has
its
own
goals
that
are
specific
to
to
Arlington,
and
we
chose
these
goals
because
we
were
concerned
about
making
sure
we
had
a
limited
number
of
goals
that
would
be
most
impactful
rather
than
having
many
many
many
goals.
S
P
Great
thanks
Hillary,
so
yeah,
so
the
as
you
can
see
there.
The
first
goal,
which
applies
to
Arlington
as
well
as
its
neighboring
jurisdiction,
is
increased.
The
supply
of
housing
that
is
Affordable
to
families
with
incomes
at
60
percent
of
area.
Meeting
income
are
below
in
the
region,
particularly
in
areas
that
have
historically
lacked
such
housing.
Some
of
the
strategies
that
we
are
all
committed
to
working
on
together
are
listed
here.
P
This
includes
lowering
the
income
targeting
of
housing
affordable
to
people
with
incomes
of
80
percent
of
area,
medium
down
to
60
and
below
in
order
to
address
the
chronic
housing
shortage
for
low-income
individuals
and
Families.
P
Second,
provide
low
interest
loans
to
single-family
homeowners
and
grants
to
homeowners
with
households,
incomes
up
to
80
percent
of
verity
made
an
income
to
develop
accessory
dwelling
units
with
affordability,
restrictions
on
their
property
last.
One
here
is
use
local
government
financing
and
Regulatory
tools
such
as
bonds,
real
estate
transfer
taxes,
inclusionary
zoning,
as
of
right,
accessory
dwelling
units,
public
lands
set
aside
for
affordable
housing,
expedited,
permitting
and
review,
and
relaxation
of
parking
requirements
for
affordable
housing
developments.
P
So
the
next
slide
is
in
addition
to
the
strategies
that
shared
previously
Arlington
County
has
committed
to
take
additional
actions
that
work
towards
this
shared
goal.
The
first
recommendation
is
to
continue
to
encourage
developers
to
exceed
the
required
number
of
affordable,
accessible
units
in
a
range
of
sizes
and
types
when
new
development
occurs.
P
P
And
lastly,
as
you're
aware
of,
we
are
undertaking
a
new
homeownership
study
that
would
take
a
step
back
from
our
home
ownership
programs
to
develop
clear
goals
for
our
approach
to
homeownership
and
to
rethink
how
best
to
achieve
those
defined
outcomes.
This
could
include
reviewing
existing
homeownership
programs
and
explore
additional
programs
to
support
for
prospective
first-time
homebuyers.
P
Next
slide
is
the
second
goal,
which
is
for
form
zoning
and
land
use
policies
to
expand
access
to
fair
housing
Choice
by
increasing
the
development,
geographic
distribution
and
supply
of
affordable
housing.
The
first
strategy
is
to
increase
inclusionary
zoning
incentives
for
creating
on-site,
affordable
housing
and
increase
fees,
and
they
were
providing
an
on-site.
Affordable
housing
next
is
to
adopt
affordable
housing
overlay
zones
to
increase
the
amount
of
land
or
developments
that
meet
robust
affordability
criteria
are
allowed
as
of
right.
P
Next
slide
is
Arlington
specific,
looking
at
initiating
a
zoning
study
to
examine
alternatives
to
the
current
definition
of
family
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
So
in
response
to
the
change
in
composition
of
families
and
households,
the
county
will
consider
changes
to
the
zoning
ordinance
to
allow
for
a
broader
definition
of
family
and
households
for
occupancy
purposes.
These
changes
will
allow
for
non-traditional
families,
extended
families
and
unrelated
individuals,
including
older
adults
and
persons
with
disabilities,
to
to
live
together
potentially
to
reduce
their
housing
costs
in
some
cases
more
efficiently
access
services.
P
Also,
on
this
one,
the
data
showed
that
a
high
percentage
of
older
households
are
cost
burden
and
highlights
increasing
need
for
housing.
Affordability
for
older
households,
but
older
adults
are
welcome
in
all
committed,
affordable
housing
developments,
targeted
specifically
to
seniors,
could
focus
greater
attention
on
their
needs,
so
the
recommendation
is
to
initiate
a
study
to
examine
how
affordability
requirements
could
be
structured
within
the
Arlington
County
zoning
ordinance
for
senior
housing
projects
approved
via
site
plan.
The
focus
will
be
meeting
on
meeting
the
affordability
requirements
through
on-site
units.
P
Our
beds,
as
this
would
be
the
best
way
to
ensure
low-income
seniors
benefit
next
slide
goal.
Three
is
to
implement
preservation
policies
designed
to
preserve,
affordable
housing
and
prevent
displacement
with
a
goal
of
no
net
loss
of
existing
affordable
rental
units.
So
the
regional
strategy
that
I
really
are
at
starlington
on
this
one
is
to
track
affordable
housing
developments
that
have
expiring
subsidy
contracts
and
then
adopt
a
proactive
outreach
program
and
prioritize
resources
for
the
preservation
of
that
housing.
P
The
next
slide
specific
to
Arlington.
We
are
going
to
periodically
re-evaluate
the
real
estate
tax
relief
program,
that's
targeted
to
seniors
and
disabled
homeowners
and
look
at
it
in
regards
to
deferral
versus
exemptions,
asset
and
income
limits
and
owner's
housing
costs
to
really
preserve
home
ownership
for
the
most
vulnerable.
P
We're
also
looking
at
exploring
reopening
the
housing,
Choice
vouchers
primary
waiting
list
in
order
to
solicit
new
income
eligible
households
seek
rental
subsidy
supports.
As
you
know,
this
federal
subsidy
is
targeted
to
low-income
and
extremely
low
income.
Households
through
a
deep
rental
subsidy.
P
Also
something
that's
currently
ongoing-
is
a
review
of
the
housing
grant
program.
Eligibility
and
maximum.
Allow
for
rent
are
really
evaluating
the
review
of
the
housing
grant
program
to
identify
the
programs
Effectiveness
in
meeting
the
housing
needs
of
extreme
and
low-income
households
and
develop
a
possible
program.
Adjustments
and,
lastly,
here
is
consider
developing
a
program
to
provide
financial
and
technical
support
to
low
and
moderate
income.
P
Homeowners
for
small
repairs,
estate
planning
taxes,
Aging
in
place
and
emergency
relief,
so
goal
four
is
increase
the
number
of
homeowners
in
the
region
and
reduce
inequities
and
discriminatory
practices
that
limit
homeownership
opportunities
by
members
of
the
protected
classes.
P
So
Regional
strategies
include
increased
homeownership
opportunities
for
low
and
moderate
income,
members
of
protected
classes
by
ensuring
affordable
housing,
set-asides
and
new
developments
offer
homeownership,
as
well
as
rental,
supporting,
first-time
homebuyers
by
expanding
financial
literacy
programs
and
homebuyer
education
and
using
Innovative
homeownership
models
such
as
cooperatives
and
Community
Land
trusts,
as
well
as
supporting
current
homeowners
with
protective
characteristics,
including
racial
and
ethnic
minorities.
People
with
disabilities
and
seniors
through
increased
funding
for
repair
repair.
P
We
have
and
renovation
programs
for
products,
expanding
programs
that
provide
energy
efficiency,
improvements
to
lower
utility
costs
and
provide
comprehensive
foreclosure
prevention,
counseling
and
legal
referrals
so
goal.
Five
next
slide
is
protect
the
housing
rights
of
individuals
and
strengthen
fair
housing
education.
P
P
Also,
look
at
Pilot
piloting
a
right
to
council
program
to
really
ensure
legal
representation
for
tenants
and
landlord
tenant
proceedings
and,
lastly,
on
this
one
is
expand
and
increase
support
for
fair
housing,
Outreach
education
and
enforcement
next
slide
specific
to
Arlington.
We
want
to
test
for
housing
discrimination
based
on
disability
status
and
at
least
one
of
the
fair
housing
tests
in
the
next
five
years,
and
continued
tests
for
housing.
P
Also
looking
at
making
the
fair
housing
Provisions
in
the
County's
human
rights,
ordinance
consistent
with
The
Fair,
Housing,
Act
and
Virginia's,
fair
housing
law
and,
lastly,
reduce
language
barriers.
When
seeking
Housing
Services
ensuring
marketing
materials
for
accounted
funded,
projects
are
available
to
different
consumer
needs
goal
six
has
increased
Community
integration
and
reduce
housing
barriers
for
persons
with
disabilities.
C
P
Second,
look
at
developing
a
rental
accessibility
modification
program
and
identify
funding
to
provide
technical
assistance
and
grants
to
assist
low
and
moderate
income
renters
with
physical
or
sensory
disabilities
to
complete
accessible
modifications
to
their
primary
residence
and,
lastly,
explore
the
possibility
of
entering
into
a
memorandum
agreement
with
the
State's
Department
of
Behavioral,
Health
and
developmental
services
to
this
administer
the
state
rental
assistance
program
goal.
P
Seven
is
expand,
access
and
affordability
of
public
transportation
for
members
of
the
protected
classes,
strategies
include
providing
free
bus
transportation
to
low-income
households
and
to
study
and
make
recommendations
to
improve
and
expand.
Bus
routes
across
borders
ensure
that
members
of
protected
classes
can
access
jobs
and
employment
centers.
P
An
additional
Arlington
goal
is
to
increase
effectiveness
of
existing
programs
to
further
fair
housing.
This
includes
the
review
of
current
metrics
for
goals.
The
affordable
housing
master
plan
goals
and
Implement
an
equity
analysis
with
metrics
across
program
areas
as
we
develop
new
programs,
we
also
want
to
develop
a
plan
and
mechanisms
for
collecting
reliable
demographic
data
on
residents
of
committed,
affordable
housing.
P
The
county
does
not
currently
have
a
reliable
mechanism
for
collecting
this
information
on
residents,
Beyond
household
income,
so
a
better
order
in
order
better
understand
who
is
being
served
by
our
affordable
housing,
the
county
will
need
to
engage
with
owners
of
committed,
affordable
housing
to
develop
this
mechanism
for
collecting
things
such
as
age,
race,
ethnicity
and
household
size.
P
The
existing
afford
the
housing
investment
fund
policy,
as
you're
aware,
does
have
a
policy
to
firmly
further
fair
housing
by
having
the
goal
of
not
further
concentrating
low
and
moderate
income
household
households.
The
current
funding
criteria
for
investment
includes
a
geographic
distribution
category
given
Arlington's
low
poverty
rate.
There
are
no
racially
or
ethnically
concentrated
areas
of
poverty
as
defined
by
Hud,
but
we
could
be
potentially
overlooking
some
areas,
so
the
county
is
looking
at
a
modified
definition,
which
is
where
the
non-white
population
of
a
census
tract
is
reduced
from
50
percent.
P
To
forty
percent
forty
six
percent
or
higher
and
looking
at
a
poverty
rate
reduced
from
40
to
15,
and
this
is
something
that
we
are
looking
at,
possibly
including
in
the
nofa.
So
I
will
now
turn
it
back
over
to
Hillary
to
go
over
next
steps
and
close
out
the
presentation.
S
Thanks
Joel
just
want
to
make
sure
bring
everyone
up
to
speed
in
terms
of
where
we
are
in
the
planning
process
and
when
you
might
expect
to
hear
back
from
us
about
it,
the
public
comment
period
was
open
for
60
days.
S
It
has.
It
did
close
on
March
31st.
S
We
are
now
embarking
on
the
process
of
reviewing
and
incorporating
those
plan,
those
comments
and
making
edits
to
the
plan
and
then
from
during
May
to
July.
We
will,
in
six
of
the
eight
governments
embark
on
a
legislative
review
process
to
local
governments.
S
The
District
of
Columbia
and
Prince
William
County
will
be
going
through
an
administrative
review
process
and
then
we'll
go
through
a
a
final
copy
edit
with
the
urban
Institute
before
it
is
sent
off
formally
to
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
or
HUD.
We
are
aiming
to
complete
that
process
by
September
of
this
year.
So
and
there's
some
information
contact
information
here
on
the
screen.
S
A
I,
do
just
first
want
to
express
my
thanks
to
kill
Hillary
Diane
and
all
the
staff
for
the
county,
as
well
as
cogswick
consultants
who
worked
on
this
plan.
So.
N
A
Plan
is
I,
think
160
Pages.
Roughly
it's
a
lot,
it's
hard
to
read
it
all
in
one
sitting,
but
I
would
encourage
Commissioners
who
have
not
had
a
chance
to
read
it
yet
to
do
so,
because
it
has
a
just
a
wealth
of
information
about
where
things
stand
in
the
county,
as
well
as
just
detailed
recommendations
for
how
things
can
improve.
A
I
I
think
that
the
team
has
done
a
fantastic.
Four
is
a
huge
step
forward
from
where
the
county
has
been
and
I
think
where
the
region
has
been
on
these
fair
housing
issues.
I.
Look
at
this
sort
of
akin
to
the
affordable
housing
master
plan.
C
A
Basically,
the
fair
housing
master
plan
for
the
county.
There
are
some
things
that
I,
you
know,
have
some
recommendations
on,
including
that
aren't
in
there
elements
of
comments,
but
I
think
overall,
this
is
a
fantastic
report.
B
C
A
Everything
that's
in
there.
It's
a
lot.
It's
all
very
much
needed,
and
it's
great
but
County
staff
is
already
stretched
pretty
thin
and
to
implement
all
of
these
I.
A
Think
it's
five
years
is
the
implementation
period
correct
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
effort
both
from
just
an
implementation,
also
from
Community
consultation
engagement
on
the
different
aspects
of
the
moving
forward,
so
I
I
applaud
the
county
and
Cog
and
the
consultants
for
the
the
great
work
that
they
put
into
this
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
big
effort
to
work
with
the
county
on
implementation
after
it's
approved
by
the
board.
A
Hopefully
it
sounds
like
before
July
and
just
a
quick
note
on
why
public
comment
ended
at
the
end
of
March.
Why
it's?
Of
course,
now
we
couldn't
fit
in
on
our
agenda
in
March.
We
had
too
much
going
on,
but
even
though
the
comments
or
the
regional
torsion
are
basically
closed,
they
talking
to
County
staff.
There's
there
is
an
opportunity,
my
comments
on
the
Arlington
portion
of
it
those
goals
and
strategies,
and
you
know
things
that
we
recommend
that
they
incorporate
or
potentially
you
know,
change
or
consider.
A
So
that's
that's
why
it's
coming
before
you
and
I
I
just
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
commission
had
a
presentation
and
and
had
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions
and
learn
more
about
this,
because
I
do
think
it's
it's
blown
under
the
radar,
despite
the
very
extensive
engagement
and
Outreach
effort
that
you
know
took
place
over
the
last
two.
A
And
don't
know
what's
happening,
but
it
is
I
think
very
significant
and
I
great
thing
for
our
community.
B
A
I
do
have
a
number
of
of
comments
and
things,
but
I
would
defer
to
other
Commissioners
first,
if
there's
questions
or
feedback,
they
wanted
to
provide.
L
One
comment:
I
have
but
just
I
mean
great
plan.
I'll
just
take
seven
steps
and
strategies,
but
like
how
also
with
the
county
a
bit
like
you
know,
how
is
it
going
to
work?
We
want
to
get
information
out
with
the
schools
like
if
there's
18
year
olds
in
high
school
and
if,
if
they
get
this
information,
you
know
kids
are
now
on
like
Instagram.
Everything
like
that
to
get
this
information
out
to
get
the
next
generation
of
people
working
on
housing
issues,
because.
N
L
Know
I
I
know
people
that
up
here
just
can't
afford
here
and
that's
sad.
You
know
it's
a
great
place
to
grow
up,
but
if
we
start
sooner
and
not
just
oh,
they
come
back
from
school.
You
know
like,
let's
get
it
out
soon
over
to
schools
and
hopefully
that
will
help
emanate
the
information
or.
C
L
L
And
it
would
be
great
for
them
to
have
this
information
rather
than
the
parents
are
trying
to
figure
out,
because
it's
interesting
from
what
2015
to
2019
the
the
decrease
in
what
is
it
limited
proficiency,
English
I
believe
you
know
it's
also
the
rights
of
the
internet
and
social.
C
M
A
To
like
high
school
students
and
students,
or
specifically
about
the
plan
and.
C
R
L
With
the
school
systems,
you
know
these,
the
kids,
or
sometimes
they
advocates
for
their
parents
in
certain
situations
and
and
so
get
them
involved
in
it
to
know
about
it.
If
you
just
said
it
goes
under
the
radar,
engagement,
I
think
working
with
the
school
systems
and
in
addition
to
and
that
the
account
is
already,
then
the
schools.
A
So
I
guess
Joel.
A
Is
there
a
plan
to
do
engagement
with
APS
students
around
fair
housing
and
around
the
issues
that
are
in
this
plan,
either
before
it's
approved
or
after
implementation
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
fair
housing
issues?
They
understand
kind
of
what.
C
C
C
P
Okay,
so
Outreach
for
this
effort
was
extensive,
but
it
has,
it
has
ended,
so
we
we
I
mean
Hillary
and
Diane
can
talk
to
that,
but
as
as
the
it
gets
implemented,
you
know
these
are
many
of
these
are
going
to
have
to
go
under
their
own
planning
efforts
right,
so
they
are
going
to
require
an
engagement
process
through
that
planning
effort.
So
there
will
be
additional
opportunities
for
to
to
get
those
people
involved.
A
A
Education
or
Outreach
in
the
county,
that's
geared
towards
people
under
18.,
but
I
think
you
know
so.
A
So
well,
especially
for
families
where
the
adults
have
more
limited,
English
and
they're
receiving
information
from
their
their
children.
That
could
be
another
Avenue
to
help
ensure
that
we're
we're
addressing
some
of
the
Gap
in
understanding
of
fair
housing
laws.
And
you
know
the
race
that
people
have.
H
H
S
S
Those
communities
that
had
that
were
engaging
with
our
community
around
housing
and
general
had
more
comments
than
those
that
were
not
so,
for
example,
Arlington,
County,
city
of
Alexandria
and
others
I
think
proportionally
compared
to
some
of
the
other
jurisdictions
that
are
part
of
this
plan.
Had
more
comments,
no
surprise.
Some
of
those
comments
were
about
missing
middle,
not
about
this
plan.
S
I
I
want
to
say
no,
it's
not
and
then,
of
course,
the
number
of
comments
we
see
we're
nowhere
in
the
same
universe,
I'm
sure
that
missing
middle
received
so
I
would
say
there
was
probably
a
couple
of
hundred
comments
total
and
how
many
of
those
were
specific
to
Arlington,
County
I
would
have
to
go
back
and
check
you
and
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
H
For
the
you
know,
Arlington
specific
version,
I
think
many
of
us
on
this
commission.
You
know,
month
after
month
we're
pushing
to
get
those
committed,
affordable
units.
You
know
on
site
or
but
yeah,
it's
kind
of
like
half
the
battle
to
increase
the
supply
of
them,
but
then
also,
if
we're
just
concentrating
poverty,
you
know
we
end
up
with
situations
like
Serrano
there's
properties
in
Green,
Valley
or
you
know
just
different
examples
across
the
county.
H
You
know
there's
great
examples
in
DC
and
Montgomery
County
and
really
Across
the
Nation
on
inclusionary
zoning,
which
I
appreciated.
Seeing
and
you
know
when
you
grow
up
and
you
don't
see
opportunity
around
you,
you
might
be
led
to
believe
that
opportunity
doesn't
exist
for
you
or
you
know,
for
people
that
look
like
you
or
you
don't
have
the
same
opportunities
as
other
people.
I
also
think
it
develops
a
deeper
sense
of
empathy
when
we
can
all
live
together,
developed
a
greater
tolerance,
there's
so
many.
H
You
know
great
reasons
why
we
have
to
have
us
all
together
and
not
a
segregated,
like
we've
been
for
so
long.
That's
more
of
a
comment
than
a
question
and
then
Hillary:
can
you
tell
us
how
does
Arlington
compare
to
the
other
governments?
We
heard
you
talk
about.
You
know
online
comment
or
public
comment
participation,
but
as
far
as
the
initiatives
that
we've
taken
are
they
kind
of
in
line
with
what
the
rest
of
the
governments
are
doing?
Are
we
kind
of
out
in
front?
Are
we
behind?
How
do
we
compare.
N
N
You
know
I
think
that
you're
doing
I
I
liked
your
comments,
I
when
you
have
a
chance
to
look
at
the
plan,
one
of
our
recommendations
and
I'm
glad
your
developer.
Friends
left
was
to
have
inclusionary
zoning
on
site
because
you
have
these
opportunities
and
not
do
it.
You
know
off-site
or
payment
in
in.
We
would
like
to
actually
disincentivize
developers
from
paying
into
a
fund
and
and
providing
them
on
site.
So
that's
a
very
clear
recommendation
in
the
plan.
I
think
you've
done
some
really
good
zoning
work
as
well.
N
We
put
in
the
Equity
analysis
I
think
because
of
Amazon
for
one
you
know
to
really
get
a
sense
of
how
the
displacement
of
gentrification
that
will
be
caused
by
this
very
large
development
were
not
anti-development
by
any
stretch.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
but
it
can
be
done
in
a
way
as
a
like.
A
win-win
for
everyone.
H
I
love
that
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
staff
and
Joel.
You
know,
thanks
for
all
that,
you're
doing
I
really
appreciate
kind
of
hearing
that
we're
on
the
Forefront
I
always
think
that
in
Arlington
we
are
so
well
resourced
that
we
really
should
be
leading
the
region
and
the
nation
I
do
wonder
how
is
a
metropolitan
Washington
Council
of
governments
collaborating
with
other
Regional
governments
to
see
if
we're
in
line
with
like
industry,
you
know
best
practices
and
if
we're
on
The
Cutting
Edge
of
what's
Happening.
N
I
will
I'll
just
go
one
more
time
Hillary,
while
you
gather
yourself
because
you
have
to
represent
everyone
and
I
can
be
a
little
more
biased
right,
but
I
can't
tell
you
how
gratified
I
was
to
read.
You
know:
Arlington
and
single
family.
Only
zoning
in
the
headlines,
I
mean
that's
a
really
big
deal
and
our
recommendations
would
especially
with
the
adus,
would
basically
Outlaw
single
family
zoning
everywhere.
I
mean
Virginia
is
a
tougher
nut
to
crack
than
Maryland
or
DC
because
of
home
rule
Etc,
but
you
were
able
to
do
it.
N
I
just
really
applaud
you.
I
do
a
lot
of
work
in
California,
I
wrote
the
Los
Angeles
plan,
for
example,
and
I
just
finished
napping
and
Sonoma,
so
they're
already
as
a
state.
You
know
Leaps
and
Bounds
ahead
of
other
states,
but
I
have
to
say:
Arlington
has
really
been
a
great
leader
in
in
fair
housing.
S
I
was
just
going
to
add.
I
would
say
that
in
the
you
know,
in
the
lead
up
to
this
collaboration,
there
is,
of
course
so
Cog
is
an
association
of
local
governments.
There
is
also
an
association
of
regional
councils,
Nationwide
and
so
definitely
have
been
in
touch
with
colleagues
at
Regional
councils
in
Chicago
metropolitan
area
planning,
Council,
so
mapc
in
in
Boston
Arc,
Atlanta,
Regional
Commission.
S
These
are
and
also
Mid-Ohio
Regional
commission.
So
these
are
all
Regional
governments
that
are
doing
you
know
interesting
Regional,
Housing
collaborations
along
those
lines
and
I,
and
so
I've
I
have
certainly
learned
a
lot
from
from
and
I
think.
This
region
has
also
benefited
from
our
conversations
with
folks
in
Chicago
and
Boston
and
Atlanta.
K
K
Just
because
this
is
well
timed,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
enormously,
because
actually
I
was
in
the
city
of
Alexandria
involved
in
the
25
years
ago.
K
C
K
Try
and
pass
the
poor
people
around
across
the
border
to
sort
of
get
rid
of
them.
Basically,
back
25
years
ago,
there
was
a
our
fair
share
analysis
that
was
going
on.
It
was
rather
disturbing
so
I'm
enormously
gratified
to
see
it
come.
K
B
D
K
H
It's
like
a
couple,
more
comments
for
me
and
then
I
guess
one
question
on
page
17:
the
goals
I
appreciated
that
we
listed
them
out,
but
I
just
kind
of
felt
like
they're
a
little
too
broad
I
think
we
could
have
had
a
little
bit
more
specificity
in
there.
One
of
the
goals
was,
you
know,
increase
the
number
of
affordable
and
accessible
units
outstanding
goal.
But
when
are
we
going
to
do
that
and
how
many
units
are
we.
H
I
was
surprised
not
to
see
plan
Links
at
Boulevard
anywhere
in
the
presentation.
But
again
we
can
continue
that
conversation
Mr
chair.
Where
did
we
end
up
with
source
of
income
discrimination.
B
A
Process
really
I
think
the
County
Attorney
is
still
negotiating
with
the.
H
The
disability
I
appreciated
the
goals
on
that,
but
you
know:
we've
had
conversations
with
this
commission
and
developers
have
looked
us
right
in
the
eye
and
said
well
we're
just
following
the
law,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
we're
going
to
advocate
for
like
that
ten
and
six
percent.
But
what
are
going
to
be
the
strategies?
How
are
we
going
to
incentivize
developers
to
come
to
the
table
so
that
we're
not
you
know
having
to
Advocate,
because
again
they
looked
up
right
in
our
eye
and
just
said:
yeah.
Well
we're
just
following
the
law.
H
My
last
question
is,
you
know:
we've
seen
really
great
examples
of
churches
being
converted
into
affordable
housing
across
Arlington,
County
and
I
was
surprised
that
we
didn't
really
see
some
of
some
more
of
that,
maybe
even
across
the
Council
of
government.
I.
Think
Faith
communities
in
general
have
evolved
definitely
in
the
last
decade,
but
certainly
you
know
in
the
pandemic.
We've
modernized
things
and
I
think
there's
an
opportunity.
I
think
a
lot
of
churches
would
be
willing
to.
H
You
know,
use
their
property
for
a
cause
like
affordable
housing.
Great
examples
of
that.
So
those
are
my
comments
overall,
really
impressed
and
I
know
it's
going
to
be
a
long
road
ahead.
So
thank
you
for
all
that
you're
doing
really
appreciate
it.
N
Could
I
just
address
your
last
comment
quickly?
We
have
I,
don't
know
if
there
are
enough
inventory,
but
one
thing
we're
seeing
a
lot
of,
and
in
fact
California
of
course
just
passed.
Legislation
is
the
conversion
of
Office,
Buildings
and
Retail
into
affordable
housing
and
I
know
in
the
DC
section.
That's
one
of
our
recommendations
in
the
downtown
area
to
bring
inclusionary
zoning
there,
because
there
is
that
opportunity
for
conversion
and
I
think
that
that
might
be
a
trend
in
the
future.
A
I
have
well
one
of
the
ones
kind
of
going
to
what
Sarah
was
mentioning
about
schools
in
the
plan.
They
talk
about
the
disparities
by
race
and
ethnicity,
and
access
to
high
performing
schools
and
schools
with
higher
test
scores
and
math
and
reading,
but
there's
no
there's
no
goals
or
strategies
around
addressing
that,
and
that's,
in
my
view,
a
pretty
significant
challenge.
C
A
To
in
Arlington
and
I
would
really
love
to
see
something
in
the
plan
about
working
with
APS,
to
try
and
address
that
consistent
challenge
that
we've
had
in
Arlington
I,
don't
know
if,
there's
anything
any
response,
Joel
or
anyone
that
you
have
on
that.
P
I
mean
I,
think
yeah
I
think
we
will
continue
to
seek
out
collaboration
with
Public
Schools.
You
know
we
worked
with
them
on
the
the
race
and
Equity
training
program.
We
we
both
have
kind
of
you
know
these
looking
at
things
through
the
racial
Equity
lens,
but
I
think
we
will
take
that
comment
into
a
suggestion.
Thank
you.
A
Additionally,
this
is
something
that
has
come
before
our
commission
multiple
times
with
tenants
and
that's
a
fear
of
reprisal
and
in
the
report.
Speaking
with
Spanish-speaking
residents,
they've
revealed
that
fair
reprisal
is
a
major
issue
if
they're
not
reporting
housing
discrimination
or
substandard
housing
conditions.
A
Again,
this
is
something
there's
no
goal
or
strategy
that
really
seeks
to
address
this
directly
and
I.
Think
given
how
much
this
commission
and
other
advocacy
groups
have
heard
that
from
residents
that
they're
afraid
to
speak
out
and
they're
afraid
to
report
issues,
because
they
fear
reprisal-
and
we
also
saw
in
the
report
that
there's
a
significant
number
of
residents
in
the
DC
Metro.
C
B
A
Some
of
the
reason
is
because
they,
they
fear
retaliation,
so
I
think
having
a
goal
or
strategy
that
specifically
addresses
that
and
talks
about
what
steps
the
county
can
take
to
whether
it's
education
or
you
know,
working
more
closely
with.
A
Obviously
human
rights
and
landlords
and
others
to
you,
know:
Step
Up
enforcement
and
Outreach
when
it
comes
to
our
fair
housing
law,
ordinance
and
and
just
making
sure
people
are
aware
of
their
rights
and
that
they
feel
safe
reporting
issues
and
substandard
conditions,
as
well
as
violations
in
the
Fair
Housing
Network.
A
On
that
feel
free
to,
if
not
that's
fine
to
you,
I
can
move
on
to
the
next
one
yeah.
P
Sure
I
mean
so.
Education,
obviously,
is
a
big
part
of
our
recommendations
and
we
do
look
to
expand
on
that
through
you
know,
Outreach
that
includes
workshops
and
materials.
P
You
know
you
know
education
on
the
current
legislation
that
Outlaw
discrimination
on
source
of
income
I
know
you
know
the
other
thing
we
we
work
with
nonprofits
such
as
bugatta
to
you
know.
If
there's
you
know,
fear
of
government,
it's
sometimes
easier
to
work
through
non-profit
groups.
So
we
do
do
that
as
well.
But
thank
you
for
the
the
comment.
A
Only
looking
for
more
things,
because
I
think
I
think
it
was
helping.
But
it's
not
you
know
it's
not
solved
one
of
the
other
things,
so
the
county
had
as
part
of
their
draft
goals
to
increase
the
the
protected
characteristics
that
are
included
as
part
of
the
fair
housing,
testing
and
I.
Think
the
county,
at
least
in
the
proposed.
B
A
Is
planning
to
do
fair
housing
testing
in
the
next
FY
24
budget
and
but
the
county
only
included
in
the
the
plan
adding
disability
to
race,
ethnicity
and
national
origin,
which
are
what
have
historically
been
tested
for
in
Arlington
and
I.
Think
the
only
things
that
have
been
tested
in
the
last,
at
least
like
10
or
so.
C
C
A
Protected
classes
in
Virginia
I
think
just
adding
one
more
isn't
sufficient,
especially
given
that
the
report
emphasizes
that
source
of
income
discrimination
is
one
of
the
top
discrimination
concerns
that
was
raised
in
the
report.
A
A
Disability
but
I
don't
think
that's,
that's
nearly
sufficient.
So
that's
another
item.
P
You
know
I,
think
what
we
heard
through
the
process
was
that
there
was
a
they're,
very
interest
in
testing
on
disability
and
that
there
was
there
was
fear
of
discrimination
there,
but
Point
well,
taken
and
I
think
there.
There
is
some
interest
I
think
in
expanding
that,
given
given
recent
comments,
so
thank
you.
A
And
then
I
think.
Lastly,
the
report
I
know
it
was
a
struggle
during
the
public
engagement
process
to
really.
B
A
With
lgbtq
plus
groups
in
the
DC
Metro
region,
I
know
there's
a
struggle
on.
B
A
About
the
specific
challenges
facing
members
of
the
lgbtq
plus
Community
when
it
comes
to
housing,
so
part
of
that
it
said
that
lgbtq
plus
youth,
faced
higher
rates
of
homelessness
again
Arlington
does
not
conduct
fair
housing
testing
based
on
sexual
orientation
or
gender.
A
Arlington
are
sending
lgbtq
to
DC
for
housing
support,
because
the
Committees,
like
Arlington,
lack
specific
specialized
programs,
whether
that's
our
homeless
and
services,
programs
or
general
housing
programs
that
don't
offer
anything
specific
to
members
of
the
lgbtq
LGBT
LGBT.
A
Q
Plus
thank
you
Community,
as
well
as
the
the
need
for
specialized
Housing
Services
for
lgbtq,
plus
Youth
and
seniors
and
again,
I.
Think
it's
great
that
the
report
highlights
those
needs,
but
there's
not
really
anything
about
Arlington,
Texas
and
I.
Think
that's,
definitely
something
that's
important
for
the
county
to
look
UNC.
A
Where
are
their
areas
for
especially
vulnerable
and
especially
like
in
the
trans
Community,
where
you
see
a
lot
more
discrimination,
and
you
know
you
know
higher
risk
of
homelessness
and
violence
and
all
those
things
making
sure
that
we're
doing
enough
to
support
the
community
and
not
Outsourcing,
that
to
DC.
That
has
more.
R
P
So
I've
reached
out
to
the
Department
of
Human
Services
on
Sunday.
Are
you
know,
looking
at
updating?
You
know
their
strategic
plan,
then
homelessness.
So
there's
there
are
some
opportunities
to
to
look
at.
You
know
what
additional
goals
or
strategies
might
be
needed
there
as
far
as
any
specialized
housing
that
might
be
might
be
needed
by
that
population.
A
Thank
you
any
other.
Oh
yes,
I'm,
sorry,
doors.
O
Yes,
thank
you
Mr,
chair
first
thing,
I
I
want
to
say
is
wow.
Thank
you.
O
As
far
as
the
regional
plan
and
and
and
particularly
Arlington,
thank
you
to
the
Cog
people
and
the
lawyers
committee
and
everybody
who
work
on
it
and
thank
you
Joel
and
your
team,
because
what
I
see
is
you
listened
to
people
in
in
the
in
the
Civic
engagement
and
it
it
shows
in
in
the
plan
that
you
put
together
the
objective,
the
goals
and
objectives,
and
then
I
want
to
mention
that
I
did
see.
O
Their
goals
and
objective
I
would
agree
with
you
that
that
Arlington
outstripped
everybody
in
terms
of
of
seeing
what
the
need
was
for
a
fair
housing
plan
and-
and
somebody
is
also
looking
at
the
proposed
affa
rule-
that's
a
AF.
O
You
know
the
the
Federal
proposed
rule,
because
when
I
was
reading
that
I
kept
thinking,
hog
I
kept
thinking
this
region
I
kept
thinking
Arlington.
So
the
the
one
thing
I
agree
with
Callum.
We
have
to
be
testing
on
more
of
of
the
of
the
groups,
but
I
really
appreciate
your
hearing
us
about
testing
for
disability,
because
we
weren't
being
tested
in
the
real
one
of
the
real
concerns.
Is
that
that
in
this
region?
O
For
sure
we
we
aren't
at
least
in
Virginia,
we
aren't
enforcing,
and
our
code
enforcement
is
not
enforcing
the
Fair
Housing
Act
accessibility
requirements
and
unless
we
test
in
the
state
of
Virginia,
when
the.
O
The
permits
of
first
occupancy
are
are
about
to
be
approved.
If
we,
if
we
don't
test,
then,
and
for
the
next
two
years,
then
violations
of
the
fair
housing
act
are
are
not
caught
and
and
it's
put
in
the
lap
of
the
person
with
a
disability
and
and
so
then
I
I
wanted
to
ask.
Having
looked
at
the
the
proposed
fair
housing
rule,
the
HUD
rule
coming
up
what
the
process
is
here
going
forward.
O
What
I
mean
is
if
I
understood
what
Diane
said
in
in
the
listening
session
that
we
held
for
the
disability
Community
once
this
Regional
plan
is
approved,
then
it'll
be
used
for
the
next
Consolidated
plan
processing.
You
know
instead
of
what
was
the
AI
and
and
and
so
in
Arlington.
O
Do
we
know
when
that
five-year
process
is
going
to
be
starting,
that
will
that
will
use
this
plan
and
then,
after
it
after
that
process,
as
I
understand
it
by
some
time
going
forward
into
the
next
five
years
that
that
the
required
Equity
plan
through
through
the
rule,
the
HUD
rule,
the
new
HUD
rule,
will
will
be
what
we're
going
to
be
using
to
prepare
the
equity
plan
going
forward
and
and
and
that
will
influence.
O
P
N
You
will
have
quite
a
bit
of
time
now
we
knew
the
rule
was
coming.
It's
it's
called
it's
for
those
that
don't
know
the
2015
AFL
page
rule
was
rescinded
by
the
Trump
Administration
and
then
had
recently
reissued.
The
rule
has
a
comment
period
going
on
now.
It's
instead
of
calling
in
an
assessment
of
fair
housing,
it's
called
an
equity
plan.
There
are
some
differences
and
some
really
good
differences
like
a
an
ability,
a
complaint
process
which
was
never
part
of
this.
N
We
planned
by
doing
this
in
in
the
format
of
an
assessment
of
fair
housing.
We
in
fact,
were
more
comprehensive
than
HUD
will
require
in
the
future,
and
that
was
done
intentionally
so,
whereas
the
for
my
format
might
change
and
there's
some
differences
in
citizen
participation
and
commuting
engagement,
and
so
on.
N
The
questions
that
we've
answered
are
more
onerous
than
the
questions.
If
the
new
Equity
plan,
in
fact,
you
might
have
read
all
excruciating
45
contributing
factors
that
still
haunt
me
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
that
HUD
is
no
longer
requiring.
So
what
you
have
now
is
more
information
than
you'll
need.
N
I,
don't
know
the
exact
dates,
but
assuming
the
three
years
in
the
comp
plan
of
2026
we're,
probably
looking
at
2028
and
boy,
do
I
wish
I
wouldn't
be
working
in
2028,
but
you
never
know,
but
so
it
is
going
to
be
quite
a
quite
a
ways
away.
O
Okay
and
and
the
one
question
that
I
had
also
that
I
made
comments
on
was
the
fact
that
there
was
a
regional
goal
regarding
increasing
the
percentage
of
of
accessible
and
affordable
units,
but
accessible
units,
and
the
word
public,
housing
or
publicly
sponsored
housing
was
used
and
what's
happening
is
right.
Now,
two
things
one
is
just
for
the
commission's
information.
O
The
Virginia
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
is
going
to
have
a
public
hearing
on
Friday,
April,
21
and,
and
if
you
don't
already
have
it,
I
I
can
send
the
announcement
that
I
got
today
and
sounds
like
they're
using
the
old
process.
But
this
is
when
they're
doing
this
is
the
year
I
guess
for
their
Five-Year
Plan
and
my
understanding
is
they'll
have
to
come
under
the
new
HUD
rule,
but
but
is
that
the
place
Diane
where
we
would
go
if
we
were
encouraging?
O
What
I
think
is
the
simplest
and
most
eloquent
way
of
of
increasing
the
percentage
of
accessible
units
which
is
to
to
modify
the
build
the
building
code
in
Virginia
to
increase
that
percentage,
preferably
at
10
percent,
because
we've
got
a
lot
of
time
to
make
up
in
terms
of
having
a
stock
of
accessible
housing.
O
But
what
involvement
do
you
think
we
should
have
with
the
state
process
this
year
and
and
I
will
say
that
I
was
at
a
meeting
of
the
State
Legislative
disability
Commission
on
on
Tuesday,
and
they
are
actually
looking
at
this
issue
of
the
stock
of
accessible
housing
and
other
housing
related
matters
for
legislation
that
could
come
up
next
year
in
the
general
assembly.
So.
N
Because
it's
a
it
would
require
a
state
process.
You
know
we're
trying
to
limit
it.
Our
plan
to
what
we
can
do.
You
know
as
a
jurisdiction
and
a
region,
because
we
don't
have
any
con
I
personally
have
no
control
of
what
the
state
of
Virginia
does
and
it
doesn't
mean
you
stop
the
advocacy,
but
we
wanted
to
have
goals
that
were
measurable,
that
were
able
to
achieve
versus
a
state
goal.
So
that
was
our
purpose.
N
I
certainly
encourage
you,
I
mean
in
I,
worked
in
the
Santa
Monica
plan
and
we
were
able
to
double
the
percentage
of
set
aside
units
for
both
the
set-aside
units
and
we
changed
the
building
code.
But
that's
because
it
was
a
city
building
code.
We
didn't
have
to
change
the
California
building
code,
which
would
be
a
much
heavier
lift
as
it
will
be
in
Virginia.
O
N
N
It
could,
but
don't
forget
that
this
spans
three
different
States
DC
and
we
had
to
come
with
up
with
common
language
for
all
of
these
very
different
jurisdictions.
So
we
can't
really
mandate
all
housing
everywhere,
just
because
of
the
control
Factor,
but
since
Pub
publicly
supported
housing
is
under
the
domain
of
each
housing
department
right
that
gives
more
control
at
a
local
level
than
housing
generally.
O
So
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is
that
I
saw
in
the
HUD
proposal,
though,
that
it
is
discriminate.
It's
discriminatory,
there'll,
be
policies
that
might
be
in
state
law
or
state
ordinances,
as
well
as
local
laws
and
ordinances
that
that
may
need
to
be
changed
in
order
to
provide
equity
on
any
number
of
issues,
and
it
looks
like
they
are
saying
that
it
is
one
of
the
important
goals
and
objectives
that
that
would
be
appropriate
in
in
the
in
the
new
Equity
plans.
N
Well,
if
the
state
wants
to
hire
us,
which
I
would
be
very
surprised
about,
you
know
we're
happy
to
advocate
for
State
policies,
but
that's
really.
They
will
be
responsible
for
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
at
the
state
level.
That's
sort
of
outside
this
process.
O
E
O
P
So,
yes,
we
do
need
to
submit
the
plan
to
HUD
I'm,
not
sure.
If
they
are
it's,
it's
not.
We
technically
don't
have
to
do
it
at
this
point
until
the
the
rule
goes
into
effect,
but
we
are
coming
together
as
a
region,
because
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
so.
Hud
doesn't
necessarily
approve
it
right
now.
Correct
Diane.
N
N
N
It's
submitted
it
in
10,
I,
know
that
and
some
like
in
a
longer
period
than
that
and
I
know
for
DC.
It
was
submitted
what
six
years
ago,
because
we
worked
on
it
five
six
years
ago.
N
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
No
Man's
Land
right
now,
because
the
rule
isn't
in
effect
and
currently
the
only
requirement
is
to
conduct
a
analysis
of
impediments
which
has
virtually
no
guidance
since
the
rule
was
rescinded,
so
we're
sort
of
on
the
fly,
but
once
it's
submitted,
Jennifer
and
Joe
will
need
to
report
on
the
progress
in
in
their
annual
plan
and
have
another
one.
You
know
after
consult
the
next
Consolidated
plan.
A
You
very
much
any
other
comments
or
questions
before
we
entertain
a
motion,
so
this
is
for
Action.
My
recommendation
would
be
and
I
try
to
jot
down
the
comments
that
we
had
to
make
a
motion
to
recommend
approval
to
the
County
Board
of
the
plan.
I.
A
Not
in
final
form
yet
but
at
least
and.
A
Support
for
the
plan
and
then
just
include
our
recommendations.
I
can
briefly
recap
what
those
are
based
on
what
I
heard,
if
people,
if
anything,
is
missing
so.
D
A
First,
one
and
clear
include
fair
housing,
education,
slash,
Outreach,
APS.
A
C
A
Add
additional
fair
housing
testing
areas,
seven
at
a
goal
or
strategy
around
addressing
fear
of
retaliation
minimum
tenants,
an
eight
had
a
little
strategy
around
addressing
lgbtq
plus
Housing
Services.
L
Daniel
mentioned
in
where
to
really
enforce
the
availability
of
on-site
housing
in
new
developments
than
just
giving
them
money
that
will
not
be
provided
or
free
three
plus
years,
like
to
really
make
it
a
focus
of
more
on-site
housing.
For
these,
like
actually.
H
Two
things:
should
we
re-push
source
of
income
and
then
I
think
if
we
use
houses
of
worship
might
be
a
little
more
inclusive.
A
Yeah,
this
isn't
the
exact
thing.
This
is
just
my
notes,
jotted
down,
so
this
will
go
in
the
draft
letter,
send
it
out
to
everyone
when
they
get
it
to
it.
A
I'm
always
happy
to
push
source
of
income
because
that's
been
to
keep
in
mind
with
the
county
for
years
now
going
on
through
so
happy
to
include
that
making
sure
that
that
gets
added
to
the
counties,
human
rights
or
events.
N
Okay,
could
I
just
make
a
point?
Is
that
be
Regional
goals?
And
then
we
have
jurisdictional
goals.
We
are
not
able
to
revise
the
regional
goals,
because
that
would
mean
going
back
to
the
other
jurisdictions
and
then
it
would
be
a
free-for-all,
and
we
would
never
finish
so.
These
recommendations
can
either
go
in
the
body
is
to
add
more
information
or
would
be
become
part
of
Arlington's.
First
I
just
want
to
make
that
distinction.
Yeah.
L
Send
to
the
County
Board
on
this
Regional
fair
housing
plan.
A
Seven,
you
profile
then
start
with
myself.
I
hope.
Yes,
commissioner
Montgomery.
Yes,
commissioner
North.
A
You,
commissioner
service:
yes,.
A
G
A
Commissioner,
McGill
gray,
yes,
Mr
heminger.
Yes,
commissioner
Edwards,
yes,
yes,
commissioner
Brown
did
we
lose
phone
okay,
then
it
passes
units.
Thank
you
all
and
I
know.
We
have
15
minutes
to
consider
our
Shirlington
before
Karen
has
to
leave
when
we
lose
corn.
L
Q
Thank
you
so
much
just
one
moment,
while
I
get
this
set
up,
hopefully
everyone
can
see
that.
A
Q
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you
and
good
evening.
I'm
Melissa
danowski
with
the
housing
division
and
Stephen
Khan
with
standard
communities
is
also
here
and
after
providing
a
brief
presentation,
I'll
hand
it
to
him
to
give
a
short
presentation
and
to
help
answer
any
questions.
Q
The
owner,
Parks
Arlington,
standard
communities
and
Foundation
housing,
referred
to
as
the
borrower
are
requesting
a
34.9
million
ahif
loan
to
renovate
Park
Shirlington
Apartments,
which
contains
294
units
and
built
in
1954..
Q
The
total
AF
loan
includes
the
previous
allocations
approved
at
both
the
July
2021
and
October
2022
caddy
board
meetings,
as
well
as
the
Six
Million
Dollar
Loan
used
to
assist
in
the
purchase
of
the
property
by
standard
and
Foundation
back
in
2017.,
and
it
also
includes
a
540
000
deposit
that
was
used
to
exercise
an
option
to
purchase
a
southern
parcel
which
is
no
longer
being
pursued.
The
total
loan
also
includes
a
request
for
an
additional
up
to
3
million
as
part
of
this
County
Board
action,
so
staff
recommends
we're.
E
C
A
C
Q
Q
All
right
so
in
order
to
not
mess
with
it,
I
might
have
to
leave
this
little
box
up
here,
but
all
right.
Hopefully
this
will
work
one
second,
you
know
so
so
I
think
I
was
just
at
the
end
of
this,
which
is
that
staff
recommends
approval
of
the
up
to
three
million
ahif
loan
allocation
and
Associated
loan
documents
for
the
34.9
million
ahifloan,
as
well
as
an
additional
TAF
allocation
of
181
000,
which
is
in
addition
to
the
124
000
approved
at
the
July
2021
meeting.
Q
Do
you
now
see
a
map?
Yes,
yes,
okay,
all
right!
Sorry
about
that.
As
a
reminder,
the
site
is
located
at
4510
31st
Street
South
in
the
fairlington
neighborhood,
it's
bordered
by
Fort
Reynolds
Park
to
the
west,
and
the
Arlington
County
Trade
Center
to
the
north
I-395
is
located
to
the
south
of
the
property.
Q
Okay.
So
in
this
table
you
can
see
the
sources
and
uses
for
the
proposed
Renovations
at
Park
Shirlington
and
the
changes
since
October
2022,
which
is
when
this
last
came
before
the
County
Board.
The
anticipated
costs
or
uses
are
on
the
bottom
part
of
the
table,
so
some
costs
increased,
While
others
decreased.
For
example,
construction
costs
decreased
by
about
3.1
million
and
the
decrease
is
largely
tributable
to
updated
pricing
from
subcontractors.
The
updated
pricing
removed,
excess
cushion.
Q
That
was
in
the
October
bids,
due
to
the
uncertainties
of
when
Renovations
would
begin,
and
in
addition,
there
were
modifications
to
the
construction
scope
which
helped
reduce
the
anticipated
financing
gap,
which
was
due
to
increased
interest
rates
which
I'll
get
to
in
a
moment.
Examples
include
carpeting
in
the
bedrooms,
as
opposed
to
vinyl,
tile
and
repair
of
a
pool
fence,
rather
than
replacement
to
name
a
couple,
and
the
project
will
continue
to
meet
Virginia,
Housing
and
County
renovation
standards.
Q
Although
construction
costs
decrease,
there
was
an
increase
in
other
costs,
since
the
October
2022
County
board
meeting,
including
the
project
and
debt
reserves
which
increased
and
acquisition
costs
increased.
But
please
note
The
increased
acquisition
costs
due
to
changes
and
the
financing
structure
and
increased
costs
associated
with
the
transaction.
The
purchase
price
had
not
changed
since
October
2022
and
is
still
85
million
and,
lastly,
the
developer
fee
increased
by
1.28
million
to
a
total
4.28
million
fee.
Q
The
developer
fee
serves
as
a
contingency
for
the
project
budget
and
is
typically
sized
to
reflect
the
size
and
complexity
of
the
deal.
In
this
case,
a
developer
fee,
which
was
size
in
2021,
is
below
what
staff
would
likely
size
it
today
and
also
below
the
tax
credit
investors
requiring
specifically
the
cash
developer
fee
or
what
the
borrower
would
receive
at
closing
of
2.5
million
or
approximately
8
500.
Q
Although
the
Lancome
housing
tax
credit
Equity
increased
by
about
1.4
million
to
help
offset
this
mortgage
reduction,
there
was
still
a
6.1
million
financing
Gap
since
that
October
meeting
and
staff
recommends
an
up
to
3
million
dollar
additional
ahif
allocation
to
help
fill
this
Gap
and
then
the
borrower
will
contribute
the
remaining
up
to
3.1
million
to
an
increased
seller
note
to
the
project
and
if
there
are
any
improvements
in
the
tax
credit
Equity
available
to
the
project
or
other
cost
savings
prior
to
closing
on
the
additional
up
to
three
million
dollar
a
hip
loan,
the
county
and
standard
will
equally
reduce
the
amount
of
ahif
and
their
seller.
Q
Q
So
in
total
the
bar
array
is
requesting
34.9
million
a
hip
loan
and
other
than
the
increased
a
loan
amount.
The
ahif
terms
reflect
the
ahif
loan
terms
approved
at
the
October
2022
meeting,
and
it
will
have
a
40-year
loan
term
at
a
point.
Five
percent
interest
rate
and
repayments
are
from
residual
receipts
cash
flow,
which
will
be
split.
50
50
with
the
developer
and
the
borrower
prefers
a
renovation
method
that
would
allow
all
existing
tenants
to
remain
at
the
property
during
Renovations.
Q
Charlington
apartments
at
the
July
2021
County
board,
meeting
at
124,
000
Taff
was
approved
and
since
that
time
the
60
Ami
levels
have
increased
about
10.3
percent,
which
impacted
those
estimates
and
did
result
in
additional
allocation
requests
of
about
181
thousand,
because
the
tenants
would
remain
on
site
during
the
renovations.
The
tap
would
be
used
to
assist
eligible
residents
and
paying
any
increases
in
rent
for
two
years.
Post
renovations
in
terms
of
the
timeline
and
pending
approval
of
the
staff
recommendations
by
the
County
Board
Finance
closing
would
occur
in
late
April
or
May
2023.
Q
So
this
April
or
May
and
Renovations
will
occur
this
summer
and
take
approximately
two
years
to
complete
and
to
conclude,
staff
does
recommend
approval
of
the
updated
loan
documents
and
an
additional
up
to
three
million
dollar
ahif
allocation
towards
the
renovation
for
a
total
of
34.9
million
ahif
loan,
as
well
as
an
additional
181
640
in
tax
funds.
T
And
thanks
Melissa,
and
thanks
to
everybody
for
for
being
here,
I
know
it's
getting
a
little
late,
so
I'll
try
not
to
to
drone
on
too
much
I.
Think
many
of
you
have
have
heard
from
me
before.
We've
been
involved
with
Clark
Shellington
for
a
little
over
five
years
now,
always
in
coordination
and
participation
from
the
county.
T
So
appreciative
of
everyone's
support
of
what
we've
been
trying
to
accomplish
here,
of,
converting
or
creating
294
committed,
affordable
units
from
what
is
currently
a
you
know
a
naturally
occurring
affordable
property,
but
with
no
long-term
rent
protections
and
no
viable
path
towards
an
extensive
renovation.
That
would
also
preserve
affordability.
T
Given
that
I
believe
there
are
some
some
new
members
of
the
commission
I'm
gonna,
if,
okay
with
you
run
through
just
a
handful
slots,
many
of
which
will
touch
on
some
more
themes
as
Melissa
just
talked
about,
but
also
sharing
a
bit
about
standard
and
what
it
is
we
do
and
our
plans
for
the
property
and
then
I'll
open
it
up
for
for
questions
as
I'm
sure
there
will
will
be
money
tips
here
on
my
screen
here.
T
Can
you
all
see
my
screen?
Yes,
wonderful!
Thank
you!
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we've
been
involved
for
a
bit
over
five
years,
starting
in
I.
Guess
it
was
late,
2016
early
2017,
when
the
property
came
to
Market,
spur
good
process
and
standard.
We
are
focused
almost
exclusively
on
the
creation
and
preservation
of
affordable
and
Workforce
housing.
So
we
looked
at
this
a
little
differently
than
most
folks
who
saw
this.
You
know
tremendous
16,
acre
parcel
and
a
Transit
oriented,
oriented
location
in
Arlington
and
I
said.
T
Wouldn't
it
be
great
if
we
could
convert
that
to
affordable
housing,
as
opposed
to
saying
how
can
we,
you
know,
renovate
it
and
raise
rents?
So
we
approached
the
county
thinking
that
they
would
be
like-minded
and
found
them
very
receptive
and
we
were
able
to
work
out
a
deal
with
accounting
where
they
provided
some
support
and
financing
to
help
us
kind
of
play
at
the
level
where
the
more
traditional
value-add
players
were
and
were
able
to
acquire
the
property.
T
At
that
time,
we
agreed
to
put
income
and
rent
restrictions
in
place
for
all
incoming
residents
and
work
towards
a
a
long-term
committed,
affordable
deal,
which
is
what
we've
been
doing
through
various
different
iterations
I,
looked
at
increasing
density
without
giving
up
the
affordability,
looked
at
some
new
development
at
the
property
again
without
displacing
folks
permanently
and
always
keeping
at
least
294
affordable
units.
There.
T
I
won't
go
too
much
into
it
here.
I
think
Melissa
shared
many
of
these
are
similar
pictures
before
you
know
where
the
property
is
kind
of
what
it
looks
like
on
the
inside.
It's
been
maintained,
but
not
truly
renovated
in
more
than
20
years,
someone
called
it
classic
condition
and
I
think
that's
probably
the
generous
property
needs
to
rehab.
We
know
what
we're
excited
to
deliver
it.
The
residents
know
what
we
hear
from
them,
often
so
we're
we're
excited
to
get
in
there
on
that
rehab
when
I
say
comprehensive
I'm.
T
It
is
not
hyperbole.
It's
really
difficult
to
think
of
an
area
of
the
property
or
an
area
of
a
unit
that
is
not
going
to
be
materially
improved
by
what
is
is
planned
unit
Interiors,
all
the
things
you
typically
think
of
in
our
you
know,
most
requested
by
residents,
but
also
the
stuff
that
makes
those
unit
Interiors
habitable.
T
T
Trying
to
make
the
property
feel
a
bit
more
welcoming
by
modernizing
the
the
laundry
rooms
and
rehabbing
the
the
pool
and
the
pool
areas,
the
stairs
the
Landscaping
really
every
element
of
the
the
community
space
in
addition
to
building
a
community
building
just
north
of
31st
Street,
nothing
massive
it'll,
be
you
know
about
2,
000
square
foot,
building
and
kind
of
two
distinct
uses.
T
So
we'll
be
able
to
have
those
two
called
Wings
of
the
building
operate
in
parallel
and
then,
when
the
office
closes
for
the
day,
the
the
amenities
spaces
will
still
have
access,
as
as
it's
appropriate,
it's
not
going
to
be
24
hours,
but
it'll
be
a
true
Community
amenity,
because
this
the
property
now
is
under
amenetized.
It's
got
the
pool
and
a
bunch
of
open
space,
but
that's
really
about
it
so
putting
in
fitness
center
and
computer
Business
Center
multi-purpose.
T
Two-Bedroom
apartment,
will
be
I,
think
great
benefit
to
the
property
as
well,
also
having
that
294th
unit,
currently
the
leasing
office
to
be
returned
to
a
two-bedroom
unit,
so
we've
we've
been
working
with
the
digital
Equity
team
and
part
of
the
the
aaf
allocation
that
has
been
granted
is
going
towards
funding
free,
Union
and
internet
access
for
all
low-income
households
at
the
property
for
the
duration
of
the
Virginia,
Housing
tax,
credit,
initial
compliance
periods.
So
for
the
next
15
years,
what
else
have
I
mentioned?
No
displacement?
T
That's
a
big
one.
I'm
also
mentioned
the
relocation
plan
and
our
that
was
approved
previously
we're
working
with
housing
to
home,
which
I
don't
think
we
were
formally
engaged
with
them.
Last
time
I
presented
to
you,
so
we're
excited
about
that
partnership.
We
know
they've
done
work
in
Arlington
previously
and
are
very
familiar
not
just
with
the
Arlington
relocation
requirements,
but
also
with
HUD
and
Virginia
Housing,
who
are
also
overseeing
our
also
overseeing
the
deal,
and
we
have
to
be
compliant
with
all
of
that.
T
So
having
dedicated
professionals
a
Perpetual
on-site
presence
throughout
this
to
ensure
that
everything
is
handled
appropriately
in
all
Resident.
Concerns
are
addressed
and
handled
as
sensitively
as
they
need
to
be
given
how
disruptive
moving
can
be
even
with
the
best
intentions
is
important
to
us.
So
we
are
excited
to
be
partnering
with
them
and
effectuating
this
transformation
of
the
property
without
displacing
any
qualified
residents.
T
This
is
kind
of
the
the
two-winged
community
building
that
I
had
mentioned
so
leasing
offices
on
that
side
and
then
into
the
the
fitness
center
and
the
community
room
Business
Center
up
here,
and
all
of
this
opens
up
to
the
the
green
space
at
the
kind
of
center
of
the
parcel-
that's
north
of
31st
Street,
so
trying
to
create
kind
of
an
indoor
outdoor
space
there.
T
So
we're
we're
quite
excited
to
deliver
that
I
think
Melissa
ran
through
the
capital
stack
and
how
this
deal
has
kind
of
come
together
and
it's
faced.
Many
headwinds,
not
just
you
know
in
the
last
five
years,
but
specifically
in
the
last
year
or
so
since,
since
I
was
here,
interest
rates
have
not
been
kind.
T
Construction
costs,
similarly
not
kind,
and
the
inflationary
impact
on
operating
expenses
similarly
cut
into
our
ability
to
raise
debt
proceeds.
So
there's
a
lot
of
creative
thinking
and
good
partnership
that
was
done
amongst
all
Financial
stakeholders
and
the
deal,
as
well
as
the
the
professionals
that
are
managing
and
putting
the
construction
and
tried
to
figure
a
way
to
still
get
the
deal
and
pencil.
T
We
we
made
up
a
ton
of
the
Gap,
was
that
was
created
by
these
these
head
ones
and
then
being
able
to
come
back
and
work
hand
in
hand
with
the
county
to
figure
out
how
to
solve
the
rest
of
it,
which
is
what
brings
us
here
tonight,
we're
incredibly
thankful
for
for
the
opportunity
to
keep
this
alive.
T
So
that's
kind
of
the
what
I
had
prepared
a
you
know.
Most
is
going
to
tell
me
I
forget
anything
because
I
often
do
please,
you
know
come
at
us
with
questions.
Have
it
answer
anything
you've
got.
A
C
A
N
A
Thank
you
that
passes
unanimously,
and
now
we
can
have
a
discussion.
We're
going
to
watch.
C
K
So
the
one
question
I
had
was:
how
does
for
staff
is?
How
does
this
additional
request
of
have
impact
any
of
the
funds
that
we've
been
discussing
previously
ever?
Is
this
increasing
our
commitment
and
our
budgetary
constraints.
Q
Yes,
there
is,
there
is
enough,
an
unallocated,
affordable
housing
investment
funds
to
proceed
with
the
up
to
3
million
ahif
allocation
and
I.
Do
want
to
note
that
that's
the
max
if
there
are
improvements
and
the
equity
available,
the
project
or
other
cost
savings,
the
amount
that's
actually
dispersed
could
be
less
than
that.
Okay,.
A
I
had
a
question
for
Steven
and
I.
Think
I
may
have
asked
this
before
when
you
previously
come
before
the
Housing
Commission,
but
one.
A
Our
non-profit,
affordable
housing
providers
often
offer
for
their
properties,
are
kind
of
wraparound
services
that
they
typically
have
like
a
resident
services
in
place,
and
that
can
offer
everything
rated
from
like.
A
C
N
A
Offering
that,
through
your
property
management,
firm
or
Contracting
out
to
a
separate
firm
to
provide
some
of
those
wraparound
services
that
you
know,
we
would
typically
get
if
it
was
a
number
it
affordable,
housing
provider.
T
Yeah
I
appreciate
the
question:
it's
not
something
that
is
currently
contemplated
as
a
you
know
like
a
staffed
position
at
the
property
and
recognize
that
there
are.
There
are
others
who
do
that
and
different
deal
structures,
but
this
one
doesn't
necessarily
lend
itself
well
to
that.
That
said,
it's
it's
a
great
location,
building
this
community
building
with
the
multi-purpose
room.
T
It's
not
something
that
we
intend
to,
let
you
know
sit
vacant,
so
we
we
are
supportive
of
residents
and
I'm
sharing
that
as
I
believe
you
said,
you
know
that
they
are
fulfilling.
You
know
the
potential
and
getting
more
higher
quality
of
life
out
of
being
at
the
property
and
our
property
management.
T
Firm
Franklin
Johnson
group
is
very
familiar
with
the
RN
we'll
be
you
know,
along
with
corporate
support
from
us,
seeking
to
engage
with
many
of
the
the
non-profits
or
other
community
groups
in
the
area,
making
that
Community
Building
space
available
to
them
to
have
programming
and
to
the
extent
that
we
can
sponsor
and
support
that
absolutely
doing
so,
but
unfortunately
a
deal
that
doesn't
lend
itself
well
to
I'm
having
a
full-time
coordinator
or
someone
on
staff
for
it.
T
So
we
don't
think
that
the
residents
will
be
entirely
on
their
own
and
we'll
look
to
to
further
that
as
best
we
can,
in
addition
to
working
closely
with
the
county,
they'll,
be
permanent,
Supportive,
Housing
units
of
the
property
and
all
the
programming
support
that
comes
specific
to
those
residents.
T
A
Yeah
I
definitely
would
encourage
standard
to
take
a
look
and
see
what
Partnerships
and
things
could.
A
To
help
provide
some
of
those
services
for
the
residents,
understanding
that
that
deal
is
not
currently
structured
to
have
a
full-time.
A
If
that's
something
that
you
know,
one
of
the
existing
staff
of
the
property
management
firm
can
take
on
is
an
added
responsibility,
or
you
know,
just
if
there's
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
our
local
nonprofits
that
provide
whether
it's
like
employment
support
or
you
know,
APAC
or
food
or
other
things
would
be
more
than
happy
to
work
at
least
have
discussion
to
figure
out
what
could
be
possible,
but
I
just
recommend.
T
Structure
at
this
point,
yeah
absolutely
appreciate
your
encouraging
us.
We
are
very
anxious
to
go
down
that
road,
so
the
Olympic
disappointed.
A
Other
questions
oh
Haley,.
R
Hey
thanks,
I
was
just
wondering:
do
you
all
have
your
bond
allocation
and
your
HUD
commitment,
I,
guess
I'm
I'm,
hoping.
D
T
It
is
certain
we
have
both
Bond
allocation
for
improvement
and
are
waiting
on
how
to
confirm
the
closing
date,
which
we've
requested
the
28th
of
April
congrats.
Thank
you,
hard
plot.
C
L
My
question
with
the
renovations
and
stuff
was
there
ever
a
point
with
Park
Shirlington
have
having
the
same
issues
as
a
serrano
in
the
sense
of
the
maintenance
of
the
property.
I
mean
I,
understand
Stephen.
You
said
that
it's
it
oh
God,
oh
god,
blanking
out,
but.
L
Were
there
any
issues
that
that
has
happened
like
the
Serranos
happened
with
the
security,
because
the
Toronto
building's
old,
as
well
I.
T
Don't
know
I'm
not
intimately
familiar
with
the
Serrano
specifics,
so
I
can't
you
know,
compare
the
two
I
can
say
that
we
do
not
generally
have
security
issues,
certainly
nothing
beyond
the
norm
of
a
large.
You
know:
multi-family
property,
no
security
issues,
no
significant
deferred
maintenance
issues.
There's
there's
nothing,
you
know
hidden
and
lingering.
That's
you
know
the
big
booty
man
of
the
property
we've
been
involved
with
it
for
five
years.
T
It
would
probably
have
found
it
by
now
and
as
part
of
our
existing,
you
know
County
involvement
as
on
the
lender
they're
in
there
inspecting
as
well
to
make
sure
that
that
we're
being
honest
and
keeping
property
where
it
needs
to
be
so
it's
always
room
for
improvement.
We're
excited
to
improve
it
because
it's
it
feels
like
a
1950s
property.
That's
been
maintained,
but
not
deeply
invested
in,
so
we're
very
excited
to
get
what
it
deserves.
Thank
you.
H
I
have
three
questions:
I
heard
you
talk
about
adding
carpet,
it
might
just
be
my
personal
opinion,
but
I
was
just
wondering
why
we
decided
to
go
with
carpet
over
I
guess,
I
heard
like
vinyl
as
well.
That
seems
to
be
like
the
industry
standard.
T
There's
there's
currently
carpet
throughout,
so
we
had
been
hopeful
of
doing
vinyl
luxury
vinyl
throughout
based
on
a
combination
of
factors,
one
being
cost
and
the
other
actually
being
a
good
bit
of
a
resident
feedback
carpet
in
the
bedrooms
is
not
terrible
and
it
is
a
cross
saver.
So
we're
still
planning
on
the
the
hard
surface
luxury
vinyl
tile
and
the
wood
looking
plank
throughout
common
areas,
but
in
the
bathroom
in
the
bedrooms.
Apologies
definitely
no
carpet
in
the
bathrooms
and
bedrooms
carpeting.
T
So
that's
part
of
the
trying
to
get
the
the
cost
back
in
line
as
we
were
facing
tremendous
number
of
headwinds
and
it
was
not
as
opposed
by
residents
as
as
we
had
thought.
H
And
then
I
was
wondering
you
know
when
they
did
the
95
Lanes
they
added
the
sound
barrier,
all
the
way
up
and
down
on
both
sides,
but
then,
for
some
reason,
like
this,
low-income
property
didn't
get
the
sound
barrier.
I
just
wonder.
Well,
like
the
renovations
include
that
or
do
you
have
any
information
on
why
that
wasn't
put
there
when
they
did
that
or.
T
I
wish
I
had
a
great
answer.
I
was
surprised
and
disappointed
when
they
stopped
right
along
395
just
for
the
property,
and
we
reached
out
to
the
state
to
try
to
get
an
answer
and
see
if
a
decision
could
be
reversed,
but
the
ship
had
sailed.
We
had
not
been
involved
early
enough
in
it,
so
an
unfortunate
situation
there,
but
as
part
of
your
as
I
mentioned,
there
are
a
lot
of
eyes
on
this
renovation
project,
Virginia,
Housing,
HUD
and
the
county
all
have
their
standards.
T
I
know
that
specific
to
the
the
HUD
approvals.
There
is
a
an
interior,
sound
measure
test
and
they
look
very
closely
at
the
specs
that
are
being
used
to
renovate
the
buildings
window
types
installations,
sightings
Etc,
so
extensive
sound
study
has
been
done.
It's
been
designed
to
try
to
attenuate
some
of
that
Highway
noise,
even
without
the
sound
barrier
on
395.
H
H
Barrier,
I'm
glad
that
quality
of
life
kind
of
came
up
I.
Just
that's
what's
top
of
mind
for
me.
My
last
question
is
like
a
two-part
question
and
your
slideshow.
You
had
language
that
said
something
to
the
effects
of
any
unit
internet
access
for
qualified
residents.
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
tell
me
one
what
that
means,
and
then
I
have
a
second
part
to
this
question.
T
Sure
in
unit
meaning
they
will
have
access
in
their
unit
to
internet
at
no
cost.
T
If
I
say
something
that
sounds
silly,
it's
because
I'm
not
especially
technically
inclined,
so
forgive
me,
but
symmetric
30,
megabyte
per
second
upload
and
download
speed
as
what
your
digital
Equity
team
has
educated
me
on
as
being
kind
of
the
the
bear
standard
that
they're
looking
to
have
in
the
unit.
So
we
will
provide
that
to
all
qualified
residents.
I.
T
Imagine
you're
wondering
what
qualify
means
income
qualified,
so
the
county
is
providing
funds
to
allow
this
to
be
put
in
place
at
no
cost
to
Residence
and
income
qualify,
so
low
income,
households
that
are
qualified
under
the
y-type
program
will
be
eligible
to
receive
the
free
internet.
That's.
T
Yeah,
that's
properties,
294
units,
the
vast
majority
that
78
I
want
to
say
percent
are
two
or
three
bedroom
units,
so
it
it
serves
a
tremendous
number
of
families.
So
I
don't
have
an
exact
resident
account
for
you,
but
it's
it's
a
multiple
of
294.
H
I
appreciate
that
when
I
think
about
the
cost
to
do
you
know
internet,
which
I
think
is
great.
It's
part
of
our.
You
know
digital
inequity
goals
to
do
it
for
like
80
of
the
property,
but
not
for
the
20..
It
doesn't
seem
like
they're,
being
very
much
more
cost
to
just
do
the
entire
property.
If
it's
just
20
more
so,
do
you
have
you
Quantified
how
much
that
would
be
for
that
additional
20.
The.
T
Entire
property
will
be
served,
the
infrastructure
will
be
there.
I
think
the
the
reserve
set
aside
with
the
county
funds
is
just
to
provide
that
at
no
cost
for
low-income
households.
So
we
will
use
the
benefit
of
the
scale
of
property
to
try
to
negotiate
a
bulk
contract
so
that
a
provider
can
come
in
and
say
we
put
the
infrastructure
in
place
currently
Comcast
it
as
the
infrastructure
there.
They
will
be
able
to
serve
all
294
units.
T
Those
who
choose
to
sign
up,
low-income
households
will
be
eligible
to
if
they
want
internet
in
their
units
to
have
that
cost
covered
through
these
funds
set
aside
by
the
county.
If
a
household
is
not
alone
from
qualified
and
This
is
Our
intention
that
all
households
of
the
property
will
be,
then
they
would
pay
on
their
own.
You
have
to
still
receive
the
benefit
of
the
scale
kind
of
discount
of
the
bulk
pricing
that
has
been
negotiated
on
behalf
of
the
entire
property.
H
Thank
you.
My
last
question
is
right:
next
to
this
property,
there's
two
apartment
buildings
and
I.
Just
wonder
I
know
like
at
this
point.
You
know
we're
not
going
back
to
the
drawing
board,
but
when
I
think
about
bar
Croft
and
I,
don't
know
if
you're
familiar
with
that
property,
they're
overhauling
it
but
they're
adding
a
ton
of
density
they're
going
up.
We
already
have
the
zoning
laws
in
this
ra
zone.
So
I,
just
wonder:
why
did
we
go
more
dense
on
this
property.
T
A
great
question
it
was
explored.
It
was
Advanced
to
the
point
of
a
4.1
submission
the
they're
going
too
deep
into
it.
It's
been
a
few
years
since
I've
really
been
in
the
Weeds
on
this,
the
layout
of
this
site,
with
the
borders
being
significantly
below
kind
of
where
you
think
of
the
apartments
existing
I
didn't
allow
for
that
much
more
hype
because
elevation
is
or
the
max
height
allowance.
I
forget
what
was
at
the
timer
currently
is
measured
based
on
the
average
above
the
perimeter
elevation.
T
So
if
you
measure
around
the
perimeter
of
the
site
you're
at
times,
20
or
30
feet
below
where
you'd
start
building,
so
you
couldn't
do,
but
so
much
more
and
we
were
going
down
that
path
right
around
the
time
that
the
zoning
changes
were
proposed
and
subsequently
enacted
and
I
believe
there
was,
after
that,
a
modification
to
them,
but
in
that
window
between
when
they
were
passed
and
one
that
we
would
they
were
modified.
We
just
unfortunately
ran
out
of
time
and
ability
to
continue
hanging
on
without
a
a
clear
Direction
forward.
H
That's
it
I
mean
it
just
seems
like
in
a
land,
strap
County
like
Arlington
and
I
know
again
we
can't
go
back,
it's
just
you
know.
In
my
opinion,
you
know
such
a
missed
opportunity.
We've
already
voted.
Yes,
but
you
know
we
need
housing,
I,
think
it's
a
crisis
and
yeah
I
definitely
think
there's
a
missed
opportunity
with
the
the
land
use
there,
but
thank.
I
I
want
to
piggyback
off
of
what
I
just
said.
As
far
as
like
the
housing.
Do
you
do
you
partner
up
with
the
local
I
know
it
used
to
be
called
I,
think
it's
called
pathway,
Ford
or
a
pathway
of
what
percentage
of
the
apartments
on
this
particular
property
could
be
or
would
be
assigned
to
the
individuals
and
just
transitioning
from
homelessness
and
into
searching
for.
I
I
But
like
when
I'm
driving
around
I
see
more
individuals
who
are
homeless
under
the
underpath
and
and
even
walking
around
with,
like
their
shopping
carts
and
I,
didn't
notice
that
before
I've
only
lived
in
Arlington
about
going
on
six
years
now
and
I
know
I
had
volunteered
when
it
was
under
Ace
band
and
they
said
that
they
would
go
drive
around
and
try
to
locate
actual
homeless
individuals.
But
ever
since
then,
this
was
like.
Q
Q
That
yeah
I
was
just
I
was
just
about
to
say
that
this,
this
property
will
include
15
permanent
Supportive
Housing
units
and
permanent
Supportive
Housing
provides
affordable
housing
and
those
Supportive
Services
for
people
at
risk
of
homelessness
people
with
disabilities
to
obtain
and
maintain
their
housing.
Q
I
I
get
to
support
those,
but
individuals
who
are
homeless
9
out
of
10
they're
lacking
the
income,
so
would
they
be?
Would
they
have
to
go
through
the
whole
traditional
path
of
like
going
to
get
Section
8
housing
just
sort
of
things
like
that,
because
if
you're
already
homeless
getting
affordable
housing,
then
that's
considered
like
I,
don't
know
right,
it's
like
1300
that
way.
If
they
they.
A
A
Know
the
answer
to
that
but
I
know
DHS
I
think
contrasts
with
affordable
housing
providers
to
offer
units
or
formerly
homeless
individuals,
but.
A
Typically
baked
in
at
the
deal
stage,
but
honestly
I,
don't
know
enough
about
how
how
they
get
those
units.
Q
Yeah
DHS
works
with
a
variety
of
Partners
and
has
referrals
so
there'll
be
15
permanent
supportive
units
at
the
property,
and
so
DHS
will
help
to
get
those
filled,
and
there
is
a
rent
subsidy
associated
with
that.
So
if
the
units
are
up
to
60
Ami-
and
you
know
the
the
person
who's
being
referred,
you
know,
does
it
make
that
there'll
be
a
event
subsidy
provided
by
their
DHS
program
to
to
help
fill
that
Gap.
A
Is
is
not
a
question
we
could
get
a
specific
answer
from
DHS
on
the
units
where
we
do
rapid
rehousing
for
on
house
individuals
like
how
do
they,
how
do
they
get
those
units
to
do
that
like?
What
is
that
process?
It's.
K
Through
it
is
through
so
ysac
which
I
sit
on,
oh
first
has
rolled
with
that
and
it's
a
referral
basis
from
a
variety
of
different
and
path
forward,
being
one
of
them.
But
yes,
so
the
county
designates
where
those
particular
slots
are
and
then
they
fill
them
as
they
become
available
through.
G
I
I
G
A
B
A
Build
a
lot
of
deeply
subsidized
units
because
they're
very
expensive
there's
efforts
to
get
like
a
bar
crop
I
think
we
were
briefed
on
that.
But
they're
trying
to
set
aside
a
certain
portion
of
the
bar
crop
data
is
for
30
of
Ami
yeah
very
low,
or
is
that
extremely.
A
Arlington
has
a
which
is
typically
where,
if
we
had
public
housing
that
would
serve
that
population.
L
Sorry
Stephen,
you
said
that
the
renovations
are
well.
It
says:
it'll
start
this
summer
right
right,
so
is
there
like
a
plan
to
kind
of
do,
show
and
tell
of
the
renovated
units
the
end
of
this
year
or
next
year
for
the
Housing
Commission,
because
I
think
this
is
a
it's
a
great
plan.
It's
very
ambitious
and
it's
exciting
for
this
for
that
area,
with
the
solar
panels
and
everything
like
that,
I
I
just
think
that's
kind
of
cool
to
see.
L
T
Nothing
planned,
but
it
can
be
arranged
if
that's
of
interest
you
guys,
let
me
know
we're
planning
to
start
Renovations
called.
You
know
August
as
probably
a
fair
date,
clubhouse
being
built
same
as
we
start
the
the
first
handful
of
units
at
the
property.
So
we
should
have
some
finished
units
which
will
obviously
I'll
be
be
occupied.
So
we'd
have
to
find
some
time
to
get
folks
in
there
that
works
for
residents,
but.
O
Go
ahead:
Doris
I
was
just
wondering
whether
any
of
the
renovations
are
going
to
result
in
accessible
units
and
I
I'm,
making
an
assumption
that
the
newly
built
building
is
going
to
have
it.
It's
going
to
have
the
rental
office
right
and,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
community
Center
kind
of
thing.
So
I
assume
it
will
be
compliant
with
Ada,
not
just
fair
housing
but
Ada.
B
T
T
Yeah,
there
are
certainly
some
challenges
that
that
come
with
older
buildings
and
creating
accessible
units.
But
yes,
we've,
you
know,
thought
fairly
creatively
and
I
have
been
able
to
find
not
as
many
as
we
would
like,
but
yes
to
create
some
truly
accessible,
build
units
of
the
property,
both
interior
with
you
know,
the
associated
horizontal
and
vertical
clearances,
as
well
as
accessible
path
to
those
units
which,
given
the
Topography
of
a
site,
was
a
tremendous
challenge.
O
T
C
T
So
HUD
Virginia
Housing
and
the
county
all
have
appropriate
regulations.
I
think
HUD
is
probably
the
most
stringent
on
the
accessible
side
and
we
are,
you,
know,
compliant
and
blessed.
I
had
with
our
funds.
T
Will
be
15
units
with
accessible
interiors
and
of
those
15?
Eight
will
have
accessible
route.
L
Last
question:
with
the
amenities:
all
those
will
also
be
compliant
as
well
for
people
with
disabilities
yeah.
T
T
The
swimming
pool,
yes,
it
will
be
accessible,
the
there's
parking
space
or
a
couple
parking
spaces
right
in
front
of
it,
but
it
does
sit
kind
of
the
the
northwest
corner
of
the
property
down
a
hill.
So
folks
you
you
can't
you
need
to
have
transportation
to
get
there
in
an
accessible
manner.
But
yes,
once
you
are
near
the
pool,
it's
accessible.
T
Yep,
it's
it's
not
grateful.
It's
you
can
get
into
it.
T
O
A
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna,
cut
off
discussion
of
this
item.
There
and
I
really
appreciate
Steven
and
Melissa
your
presentations
on
this,
and
we
will
submit
our
letter
to
the
board
expressing
our
support,
but
also
providing
synopsis
of
the
discussion
that
we
had
as
well.
L
Q
Yes,
that's
me
thanks
again
for
bearing
with
me
for
a
moment
as
I
try
and
start.
Hopefully

slideshow?

and
I'm

general
County
project

for
Barcroft,
even
though
I'm

are
different
staff

different
aspects
of
the
project
and
I
do
have
with
me:
Mark
McCauley,

Arlington

Development,
who's,
leading
and
coordinating
the
we're,
calling
the
master,
financing
and
development
plan
aspect
of
this
project
or
the
long-term
planning
for
the
the
overall

questions

answer
any
questions.
Q
And
did
you
see
the
slide
change?
Yes,
okay,
so
I
did
want
to
come
here
tonight
to
let
you
know
of
a
process
update
for
Barcroft,
but
first
I'd
like
to
show
you
some
background
information
as
a
refresher
back
in
December
2021
Jerry
Lynch
purchased,
Barcroft
apartments,
with
the
assistance
of
a
150
million
dollar
loan
from
the
county
and
160
million
dollar
loan
from
Amazon,
and
the
units
are
restricted
up
to
60
Ami
for
99
years,
which
is
the
longest
affordability
term
in
the
County's
portfolio.
Q
And
since
the
time
of
acquisition,
Jerry
Lynch
had
worked
on
their
Master
financing
and
development
plan,
which
was
submitted
to
the
county
on
October,
29th
2022
and
the
master
financing
development
plan
or
call
it
mfdp
for
short,
is
a
high
level
overview
of
some
of
the
planning
land
use
and
affordability.
Concepts.
Q
And
there
will
there
will
be
a
community
engagement
process
associated
with
the
initial
renovation
project.
Jerry
Lynch
will
host
resident
meetings
to
ensure
that
the
residents
are
informed
of
renovation
plans
and
can
provide
feedback
and
ask
questions
during
lunch
with
me,
with
Community
stakeholders
and
commissions
consistent
with
the
County's
use
permit
in
affordable
housing,
development
processes
and
public
engagement
for
County
Board.
Consideration
of
the
long-term
plan
is
anticipated
for
later
this
calendar
year.
Q
And
County
staff
and
Jay
Lynch
will
be
exploring
ways
to
provide
deeper
affordability
at
Barcroft,
which
could
include
units
restricted
at
various
income
levels
below
60
Ami,
continuing
to
encourage
housing,
Grant
and
housing,
Choice,
voucher,
referrals
for
eligible
residents
and
other
subsidy
options,
so
options
and
recommendations
for
deepening
affordability
in
the
initial
renovation
project
will
be.
