Description
ATV's monthly conversation with Arlington County Board members on the major issues discussed at October's Board meeting
New apartment building approved for Crystal City, with on-site affordable housing
B
Sure
so
this
is
actually
a
the
all
of
the
stakeholders
in
this
project.
This
is
kind
of
near
what
has
been
called
the
tear
drop
parsley
down
there.
There's
a
I
believe
it's
over
Verizon
parking
lot
that
we're
gonna.
That's
the
building
location
for
this
site
and
I
have
not
heard
of
buildings
that
have
come
forward
with
so
few,
almost
all
the
stakeholders.
There
was
one
issue
that
had
to
be
discussed
a
little
bit,
but
almost
all
the
stakeholders
had
worked
through
in
the
county
process.
B
The
county
meetings
with
the
community
had
really
resolved
most
everything,
and
so
one
of
the
key
benefits
is
going
to
be
some
funding
for
a
park
and
open
space,
which
is
right
in
that
area
and
I
think
this
is
a
big
step
forward.
I
won't
miss
the
view
of
that
parking
lot,
particularly
but
I
think
it's
a
big
step
forward
and
it
helps
to
address.
B
We
have
talked
about
the
need
for
housing
supply
and,
in
that
neighborhood
it's
it's
going
to
be
necessary
and
I
think
that
it
will
that
that
additional
housing
will
help
address
some
of
that
supply.
We're
not
claiming
that
rents
are
gonna
go
down
in
that
area,
but
if
you
don't
build
any
additional
units
as
we
grow,
then
then
the
cost
will
continue
to
go
up
so.
C
This
was
always
an
identified
site
in
the
sector.
Plan
to
you
know,
bring
new
forms,
new
housing.
The
great
thing
about
this
is
it.
It
does,
is
matt
mention
in,
and
this
is
right
sort
of
at
HQ
to
central,
because
it's
at
the
corner
of
army-navy
drive
and
in
south
11th
street
down
right
between
Pentagon
City
and
Crystal
City,
and
in
addition
to
a
19
story.
Building,
that's
gonna
have
three
hundred
some-odd
units.
The
important
thing
is
we're
getting
12
affordable
units
on
site,
which
is
something
that
rarely
happens.
C
Typically,
we
get
cash
from
the
affordable
housing
contribution
which
goes
into
sites
elsewhere.
This
project
is
delivering
a
dozen
sites
with
the
devel,
which
is
incredibly
important
to
make
sure
that
growth
can
be
inclusive
and
beneficial
and
that
we
can
have
an
opportunity
for
people
with
constrained
incomes
to
live
near
Metro
and
a
high
amenity,
sustainable
building-
and
you
know
this
this
site,
which
is
an
interesting
one.
It's
the
the
verizon
telecom
facility
and
we
we've
got
some
infill
that's
happening
across
the
street.
C
This
one
will
come
and
then,
as
a
result
of
both
of
them
being
built,
will
have
some
vacant
property.
If
you
will,
which
will
be
developed
into
some
open
space,
we
have
yet
to
go
through
the
process
of
determining
what
that
open
space
will
look
like,
but
we
have
developer
contributions,
and
we
have
you
know
money
within
our
capital
improvement
plan
to
make
sure
that
we're
delivering
some
much-needed
open
space
in
the
area
as
well
again.
