If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
B
Welcome
everybody
Shruti
has
gotten
a
promotion
at
work
and
had
to
go
to
Maine.
So
you
got
me
and
stuff
Mark
I
have
a
question:
can
the
people
on
the
people
who
are
Commissioners
who
are
dialing
in?
Can
they
use
the
chat
they.
A
Cannot
communicate
with
us
virtually
in
any
manner.
Unfortunately,.
B
B
A
A
I
would
like
to
remind
our
attendees
that
the
PRC
meeting
will
be
recorded
and
that
has
already
begun.
We
asked
that
Commissioners
presenters
and
attendees.
Please
mute
your
microphones
and
turn
off
your
video
feeds.
If
you
are
not
speaking
for
those
attending
via
telephone,
you
can
mute
and
unmute
your
microphones
by
dialing
star
six.
The
top
toolbar
contains
a
Razer
hand
function
in
case
a
commission,
member
or
presenter
has
a
question
during
the
meeting.
Commissioners
and
presenters
may
share
their
screens
use
their
content
box,
which
is
right
above
on
the
toolbar.
A
The
chat
box
will
also
be
checked
routinely
mainly
to
address
logistical
questions
or
issues
during
the
meeting
during
the
public
comment
period
and
during
the
agenda
items
discussion,
the
chair
will
recognize
virtual
participation
first
and
then
in-person
attendees
will
be
able
to
comment,
and
that
is
only
if
we
have
an
in-person
Quorum
for
our
commissioners.
A
As
way
of
introduction
information,
we
will
also
be
holding
a
public
comment
period
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
Each
public
commenter
will
have
up
to
three
minutes.
For
that
comment
period.
And
I
will
signal
to
the
speaker
once
the
time
is
up
and
I
believe.
Today
we
have
two
speakers
that
have
signed
up.
A
Over
to
our
Meister.
C
C
A
A
All
right
so
we'll
recognize.
First
for
the
public
comment
period:
Mr,
William,
Barrett
and
that's
that'll
be
followed
by
Anne
Bodine,
so
Mr
Barrett.
E
E
But
I've
talked
to
a
lot
of
people
around
the
county
about
plan
Langston,
Boulevard
and
I.
Have
some
I
have
some
larger
concerns
that
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
and
hope
you'll
take
them
into
consideration
in
Broad
terms,
the
pob
plan
will
fundamentally
change
Highway,
29
or
Langston
Boulevard
from
a
key
Transit
Corridor
with
low
to
medium
density,
to
a
green
Main
Street
with
buildings
up
to
15
stories.
E
Specifically,
those
would
be
around
the
about
run
line,
Village
shopping
center,
but
density
will
continue
along
along
the
boulevard
up
to
10
stories
at
lehights
and
seven
stories
further
down
at
Harrison,
with
a
lot
of
infill
in
between
that
will
go
above,
buy
right
density,
I'm
concerned
with
some
of
that,
because
a
lot
of
what
goes
unset
is
that
buy-ride
density
will
be
added
onto
and
the
the
county
plan
has
this
sort
of
buried
within
it
in
various
sections
that
they
will
add
on
to
it
during
site
planning.
E
They
will
allow
extra
penthouses
that
won't
be
counted
so
15
stories
could
become
18
stories
and
that's
on
a
very
environmentally
sensitive
site
that
probably
can't
even
accommodate
underground
parking,
because
it's
on
it
literally
sits
on
top
of
Spout
Run.
So
I
have
a
lot
of
environmental
concerns
there.
That
I
hope
you'll
at
least.
Ask
questions
about
more
broadly.
E
I
also
have
concerns
that
the
county
is
on
a
Mad
Dash
to
densify,
without
looking
at
the
long-term
consequences
in
2018,
the
county
projected
63
000
more
residents
by
2045
with
then
current
zoning
and
since
then,
we've
added
12
000
people
with
a
new
Pentagon
City
sector
plan.
We've
the
county
approved
the
missing
middle
plan.
That's
going
to
allow
six
times
more
density
inside
neighborhoods
and
the
county
is
not
reconciling.
All
of
this.
E
Other
concerns
I
have
that
the
study
began
a
long
time
ago
in
2015
2016.
They
came
out
with
the
first
scenarios
that
actually
modeled
the
density
in
2021
in
the
middle
of
covid
I.
Think
people
were
also
preoccupied
with
missing
middle.
At
that
time
there
have
been
a
lot
of
public
engagements,
but
I
think
there's
other
priorities
that
we
should
be
asking
the
county.
Why
shouldn't
they
take
priority,
namely
there's
been
population
stagnation.
In
the
last
two
years
we
even
had
a
population
lost.
E
So
some
of
these
concerns,
where
they're
talking
about
housing
crises,
that's
very
ill-defined
and
we
need
to
ask
ourselves:
does
that
crisis
still
pertain
and
has
it
changed
it
anyway
in
is
Langston
Boulevard
density
going
to
answer
the
problem?
The
next
question
is
office.
Vacancy
surges,
I,
think
you're,
aware:
that's
probably
one
of
the
largest
priorities
for
the
county.
They
have
a
record
23
percent
off
to
his
vacancy
rate,
which
means
a
bleeding
hole
in
the
middle
of
their
budget.
I'm.
Sorry,
that's
a
time
in
three
minutes.
A
C
A
She
can't
and
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
too
to
see
if
we
had
Mr
Barrett
with
us
as
well
on
the
line
all
right
so
I'll.
B
Just
summarize
this
his
written
comments.
A
B
You
guys
want
to
refer
to
him.
He
is
a
representative
of
what's
the
name
of
the
school
he's.
C
B
C
B
B
Okay,
great,
thank
you
all
right,
we're
on
a
tight
timetable.
Tonight
I
hope
everybody
reviewed
the
slides
before
and
have
come
up
with
their
concerns
because
we're
going
to
try
to
get
through
these
two
presentations
and
our
questions
by
7
55.,
so
alternative
all.
A
Right
so
our
first
agenda
item
is
the
plan.
Langston
Boulevard
presentation
discussion
and
we
have
Natasha
Alfonso
from
cphd
joining
us
tonight,
we'll
be
presenting
on
this
topic.
F
F
If
you
can
just
tell
me
just
to
make
sure
because
I'm
moving
things
around,
can
you
see
the
slides?
Yes,
okay,
good
all
right,
I'm,
I'm
gonna
have
a
relatively
short
presentation,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
I
allow
enough
time,
for
you
all
to
ask
questions
and
and
for
us
to
give
you
hopefully
the
answers
that
you
want
again.
Thank
you
for
inviting
us.
F
My
name
is,
as
Marco
said,
is
Natasha
Alfonso,
Ahmed
and
I
am
the
project
manager
for
the
Langston
Boulevard
planning
study.
As
most
of
you
are
aware,
staff
is
in
the
process
of
developing
and
ultimately
adopting
a
comprehensive,
very
high
level
vision
for
the
quarter
that
will
guide
both
public
and
private
investment
long
term.
F
We
are
currently
completing
a
phase
three
of
a
multifam
of
a
multi-phase
planning
study
which
began
in
2019,
based
on
prior
analysis
and
Community
feedback,
that
we've
heard
we've
developed
and
recently
released
the
the
draft
plan,
which
was
in
June.
That
plan
includes
new
policies
to
support
the
goals
and
vision
of
a
green
Main
Street,
as
well
as
preliminary
information
on
implementation.
F
The
plan's
vision
and
recommendations
for
corridor
corridor-wide
Elements,
which
include
transportation
and
open
space,
apply
to
the
complete
planning
area.
The
recommendations
also
Focus
primarily
on
the
core
areas
which
are
outlined
in
pink
on
this
map
and
includes
areas
that
are
located
on
or
nearest
to,
Langston
Boulevard
areas
designated
for
commercial
and
multi-family
uses
on
the
County's
General
land
use
plan
and
in
very
limited
locations,
areas
that
include
single
detached
homes.
F
Recommendations
for
all
elements
will
apply
to
the
core
study
area
for
neighborhoods
two
three
and
five,
which
includes
five
West
and
5
East
neighborhoods,
one
and
four,
which
are
East,
Falls,
Church
and
Cherrydale
respectively,
have
adopted
plans
and
those
policies
will
continue
to
apply
in
those
areas.
F
The
policies
for
public
spaces
focus
on
expanding
the
public
space
Network
by
achieving
new
pops
or
privately
owned
public
spaces
with
Redevelopment.
They
also
focus
on
providing
a
variety
of
space
types
activities,
uses
and
sizes,
and
expanding
the
network
of
off-street
pedestrian
and
bicycle
corridors.
To
ensure
that
new
development
provides
adequate
connections
to
these
spaces.
F
So
there
are
24
publicly
owned
spaces
in
the
planning
area,
with
varying
degrees
of
accessibility
and
types
of
amenities.
The
biggest
barrier
that
we
have
in
the
planning
area,
obviously
to
connectivity
is,
is
Langston
Boulevard
which,
as
we
know,
separates
neighborhoods
from
neighbor
from
nearby
schools,
public
facilities
and
public
spaces.
The
corridor
itself
is
very
difficult
to
cross
north
south
east
west
there's
also
very
little
connectivity
and
there's
significant
changes
in
topography
which
make
walking
and
biking
a
lot
harder
and
discourages
that
kind
of
activity.
F
So,
to
achieve
the
vision
for
this
green,
green
Main
Street
in
in
in
the
planning
area
that
links
again
neighborhoods
to
businesses
to
the
mixed
use,
activity,
nodes
to
housing
and
public
spaces,
we
need
a
new
language
framework.
This
map
that
you
see
here
illustrates
how
development
in
the
corridor
should
be
concentrated
in
the
mixed
use
activity
hubs
connected
by
areas
that
are
predominantly
multi-family
to
be
able
to
expand
opportunities.
You
know
for
increasing
housing
Supply
along
the
quarter
and
therefore
affordability.
F
The
plan
proposes
four
new
activity
hubs
in
addition
to
the
existing
ones,
which
are
East
Falls
Church
and
the
Cherrydale.
The
framework
itself
supports
the
policies
for
public
Spaces
by
again
concentrating
development
in
the
poor
areas
to
support
commercial
activity,
expanded
residential
uses
and
densities
and
access
to
new
public
spaces.
F
So
the
policies
on
building
form
are
aimed
at
achieving
context-sensitive
building
design
by
focusing
the
tallest
building
Heights
ad
activity,
hubs
at
Key
intersections
and
within
walking,
distance
of
transit
or
Metro
and
bus
stops,
and
by
establishing
minimum
setbacks
and
other
story
step
backs
and
height
transitions
to
ensure
that
the
new
development
actually
is
sensitive
to
the
adjacent
environment.
F
This
diagram
identifies
the
location
of
the
existing
spaces,
which
are
the
ones
inside
the
gray
circles
and
the
general
location
of
the
proposed
new
pops
or
the
new,
privately
owned
public
spaces,
which
are
inside
the
green
circles.
The
circles
themselves
represent
sort
of
the
you
know
is
the
area
that
it
that
is
within
the
five
minute
walk
or
the
quarter
mile
radius
to
those
spaces.
F
The
existing
spaces,
as
you
can
see,
are
pretty
well
distributed
and
are
generally
spaced
between
a
quarter
mile
and
a
half
a
mile
from
one
another.
The
proposed
new
spaces
are
in
areas
along
the
corridor
where
the
distance
between
again
the
existing
spaces
is
greater
than
the
five
minute
walk,
so
we're
obviously
trying
to
create
better
accessibility
or
more
accessibility
to
spaces
for
all
residents
in
the
entire
planning
area.
F
In
general,
the
new
spaces
are
identified
again
in
activity
hubs
where
the
parcels
are
large
and
they
can
accommodate
the
space,
along
with
new
development,
where
there's
opportunity
for
consolidation
with
adjoining
parcels
and
where
there's
opportunity
to
provide
storm
water,
detention
or
Overland
release
in
relief
in
order
to
reduce,
reduce
the
downstream
flooding
and
flood
risk
news.
F
F
So
in
all
of
the
neighborhood
areas,
the
plan
shows
more
public
spaces
in
the
form
of
Greenways
parks
and
plazas,
and
certainly
more
than
what
we
showed
in
the
preliminary
concept
plan,
which
was
released
a
year
ago
in
area
two.
For
example,
the
plan
increases
the
number
of
parks
and
plazas
by
four
for
a
total
of
six
in
Area
3.
F
The
plan
increases
that,
by
by
two
for
a
total
of
nine
in
area,
5
West,
the
the
plan
increases
it
by
six
for
a
total
of
twelve,
two
of
which
are
in
existing
resource
protection
areas
along
I-66,
the
south
side
of
I-66
and
then
finally,
in
area
5
East.
The
plan
increases
that
number
by
one
for
a
total
of
two
spaces,
so
the
design
guidelines
that
are
included
in
the
in
the
draft
plan
for
the
public
realm
are
also
intended
to
support
the
policies
for
public
spaces.
F
They
provide
recommendations
for
Designing,
new
parks
and
plazas,
as
well
as
existing
and
new
Greenways.
The
design
guidelines
include
specific
recommendations
for
the
custis
trail
and
and
particularly
for
development
along
the
Costas
Trail,
to
make
sure
that
there
is
sufficient
building,
Frontage
and
setbacks
to
accommodate
space
for
pedestrians,
for
cyclists
and,
more
importantly,
for
landscape
areas.
F
Since
we
know
that
in
some
portions
of
the
trail
it
is
pretty
narrow
and
then
finally,
this
map,
just
or
this
slide
just
identifies
the
areas
that
we
have
recommended:
specific
detention
for
underground,
like
underground
vaults,
at
these
public
spaces
or
Overland
relief.
And
as
you
can
see,
there
are
a
few
in
area
too,
as
well
as
scenario
three
and
an
area.
Five
West,
where
the
critical
areas
for
detention
and
and
relief
are
needed.
And
that
concludes
my
presentation.
If
there's,
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
to
take
that.
B
Sure,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation
and
we
will
turn
first
to
the
people
that
are
virtually
participating.
Do
any
Commissioners
have
any
comments
or
questions
that
are
on
the
spring.
D
Thank
you.
It
sounds
like
a
massive
undertaking
for
we're,
adding
lots
of
density
and
we've
got
a
plan
for
schools,
and
we've
got
a
plan
for
green
spaces
and
right
now,
one
of
the
things
Parks
and
Rec
has
been
doing
is
we're
fighting
for
every
square
inch
of
green
space
that
we
can
get
and
what
we
we've
learned.
D
Some
things
along
the
way
and
I
don't
know
if
you
have
some
lessons
learned
from
Boston
and
Clarendon,
but
when
we
deal
with
privately
owned
public
spaces
what's
happening,
is
we
get
these
requirements
to
activate
the
space
which
essentially
means
that
in
these
plasms
they
become
sales
venues
for
the
storefronts
or
ground
floor
of
whatever's
there
and
sort
of
takes
very
much
away
from
the
notion
of
it
being
a
green
space
and
I'm
wondering
if
we're
going
to
have
any
of
maybe
some
restrictions
or
plans
that
are
going
to
limit
that
kind
of
activity
when
they
say,
oh,
we're
going
to
have
movies.
D
A
little
concerned
I'd
like
it
to
really
be
publicly
owned
private
space
that
has
a
spot
for
people
to
sit
in
and
enjoy
some
green.
So
that
would
be
a
one
point
of
view
anyway
to
strongly
recommend
we,
we
not
activate
those
faces,
but
keep
them
as
nice
spots
for
people
to
sit,
read
the
paper
or
walk
the
dog
whatever.
D
F
Well,
the
plan
does
identify
the
types
of
spaces
that
we'd
like
to
see
in
each
one
of
these
neighborhood
areas
and
and
apologies
I
did
not.
I
was
trying
to
to
minimize
the
amount
of
time,
because
I
know
we
only
have
until
7
55
and
you
have
another
item,
but
with
me
on
the
call
is
Ryan
bauma,
who
is
the
with
Acom
planning
consultant
on
the
on
the
study?
F
So
if,
if
we
need
to,
we
can
ask
him
some
specific
questions
as
well,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
the
the
plan
identifies
this
sort
of
specific
types
that
we
would
like
to
see
in
each
one
of
these
neighborhood
areas,
and
it
is
pretty
varied,
but
it
does
allow
for
flexibility
to
be
able
to
determine
whatever
the
types
of
uses
and
the
design,
and
all
of
that
you
know
outside
plan,
basically
because
many
of
these
communities,
we
don't
know
when
the
developments
are
going
to
come
in
what
the
real
need
in
that
particular
area
is.
F
We
have
heard
from
a
lot
of
communities
that
there's
a
real
need
for
playgrounds
and
and
areas
for
activities
for
children,
and
so
we
would
really
like
for
that
to
be
determined
at
site
plan
review.
When
there's
going
to
be
more,
you
know
of
a
global
look
of
what
the
real
needs
are
in
in
those
particular
geographies.
D
F
We
are
not
defining
that
in
this
plan
again
to
be
able
to
leave
that
flexibility,
but
we're
not
saying
that
there
has
to
be
a
minimum
of
X
percent
for
commercials.
D
It's
kind
of
sort
of
piggybacking
on
on
Colt's
question,
so
one
of
the
the
goals
in
the
public
spaces
master
plan
was
for
the
the
county
to
acquire
land,
and
it
seems
like
most
of
this
is
focused
on
privately
owned
planned
to.
Is
there
any
any
Focus
or
any
thought
was
given
to
using
this
plan
as
an
opportunity
for
the
county
to
potentially
purchase
or
acquire
publicly
owned
land.
F
Yeah
for
publicly
publicly
owned
spaces.
We
we
have
heard
that
as
part
of
the
feedback
from
the
community
and
and
we're
certainly
going
to
be
adding
some
language
in
the
RTA
draft.
That
will
address
that
mainly
to
clarify
that
the
county
does
Envision
in
certain
location,
certain
strategic
locations.
Let's
say
where
there's
excess
public,
right-of-way
or
opportunities
to
convert
public
right-of-way
to
public
spaces,
that
that
is
a
place
where
the
county
could
strategically
invest.
So
that's
one
thing.
F
You
know
when
there's
adjacent
Redevelopment,
let's
say
We'll
assist
with
again
the
improvements
of
public
spaces
in
conjunction
to
to
projects
that
are
developing
or
coming
forward
with
a
site
plan
with
a
site
plan
and,
of
course,
that's
going
to
be
dependent
on
the
specific
site
conditions,
the
timing
and
funding
that's
available.
F
You
know
all
of
that
goes
through
its
own
process
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
identifying
what
funds
can
be
allocated
through
the
CIP,
but
we
will
be
clarifying
that
the
county
is
interested
and
will
be
looking
at
opportunities
for
investment
in
those
specific
under
those
specific
conditions,
let's
say
or
opportunities.
D
D
Hard
fast
that
you
can't
break
break
this,
because
some
of
our
zoning
rules
are
like
that.
That's
what
we
can't
change
those
things
which
we're
talking
about
next,
but
but
you
know,
if
we
don't
set
goals,
if
we
don't
set
organs
that
we're
looking
for
it's
not
going
to
happen,
you
know
the
those
those
spaces
will
become
Hardscape
they
won't.
None
of
them
will
be
three
in
the
core.
D
Green
Space
is
another
thing
for
him
to
say
is
also
is
that
this
often
I
find
a
mixing
of
public
space
and
green
space,
meaning
the
same
thing.
They
don't
leave
the
same
thing,
other
spaces
that
that
are
privately
owned.
Public
spaces
are
not
Parks
the
exception
to
that
with
Amazon's
done
in
right
in.
D
But
the
vast
majority
of
these
spaces
are
hardscaped
with
biophilia
around
it,
and
so
I
I
really
want
to
urge
you
to
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
to.
When
you
say,
green
Main
Street
make
it
green
use
as
many
opportunity
as
we
can
to
make
this
bark
space
and
not
just
public
space
and
to
make
it
Park
land
so
that
the
county
can
can
build
on
its
inventory
of
of
Parkland
that
we
have.
B
I
was
I
tripped
over
your
statement
that
the
privately
owned
public,
accessible
space
will
be
maintained
by
the
private
developers,
which
gives
me
quite
a
bit
of
concern
with
respect
to
whether
the
county,
the
County's
values
of
planting
native
species
and
maintaining
a
certain
percentage
of
tree
canopy
will
be
able
to
be
pursued
and
maintained
in
these
privately
maintained
areas
and
who
would
enforce
it
and
how
would
enforcement
occur.
B
So
that's
just
a
follow-up
on
on
what
Adam
and
Colt
were
talking
about.
I
also
had
a
reaction
to
the
photos
of
the
various
types
of
spaces
and
I
noticed
that
you
know
they
are
not
overly
filled
with
native
plants
and
native
trees
and
they're
not
working
there.
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
Hardscape
there,
so
just
at
this
time,
when
you
know
we're
fighting
climate
change
every
way,
we
can
I
think
that's
a
real
high
priorities.
B
My
question
has
to
do
with
tree
canopy
cover
I
know.
The
county
is
working
very
hard
to
try
to
increase,
to
get
at
least
back
up
to
the
40,
which
evidently
we
have
now
dropped
below,
and
so
my
question
is:
what
are
the?
What
are
the
backstops
that
are
in
the
plan
with
respect
to
maintaining
and
increasing
tree
canopy
cover.
F
Sure
so
there
are
a
number
of
questions
there
that
I'll
try
to
to
hit
all
of
them.
I'll
start
with
the
last
one
you
just
asked
about
in
terms
of
the
tree
canopy
cover,
so
the
plant
currently
only
identifies
a
Target,
let's
say
for
public
facilities
and
and
parks
that
are
owned
by
the
county,
which
I
can
remember
right
now.
F
What
the
what
the
number
is,
but
the
plan
only
identifies
a
specific
Target
for
those
we
will
be
adding
in
the
RTA
draft
additional
specific
recommendations
for
private
development
to
to
provide
specific
targets
for
tree
canopy
coverage
on
site.
So
that's
that's
coming,
but
we
do
recognize
that
we
want
to
get
to
the
you
know
to
improve
the
the
coverage
along
the
corridor.
As
We
Know.
F
The
core
itself
has
very
little
tree
canopy
coverage,
so
anything
that
we
do
is
going
to
improve
it,
but
we
don't
want
to
do
just
the
minimal.
We
want
to
be
able
to
provide
very
specific
recommendations
so
that
all
development
provides
increased
tree,
canopy
coverage
in
terms
of
the
The
Greening,
the
main
street
or
Greening
the
corridor
and
the
whole
planning
area.
You
know
we
are
trying
to
balance
many
different
goals
for
this
planning
area
and
I.
F
Think
one
of
the
things
that
we
said
earlier
on
is
that
this
this
area,
for
the
most
part,
is
pretty
well
served
when
it
comes
to
you
know
the
types
of
recreational
facilities
and
and
parks,
and
all
of
that
in
the
surrounding
area.
Obviously,
if
there's
new
development
or
more
density,
we're
going
to
need
to
augment
it
and
provide
additional
spaces
to
support
the
new
population.
So
that's
for
sure,
but
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
is
that
we
don't
have
along
Langston,
Boulevard,
large
Parcels
of
land
that
could
be
allocated.
F
You
know
just
for
recreation
or
just
for
for
green
space,
and
so
in
addition
to
that
we're
trying
to
balance
different
goals,
we
need
land
to
provide
housing,
to
increase
the
supply
of
housing.
So
with
that,
we
have
looked
pretty
carefully
at
every
square
inch
of
land
in
every
one
of
these
neighborhood
areas.
Part
you
know
like,
as
I
said
in
the
core,
where
you
have
vast
amounts
of
impervious
surfaces,
parking
lots
where
it's
mostly
commercial.
F
You
know
and
aging
buildings
and
multi-family
buildings
that
are
also
in
need
of
Redevelopment,
to
see
what
opportunities
we
have
to
create
new
public
spaces
and
so
everywhere
that
we've
found
an
opportunity
to
do
that
and
then
also
provide
storm
water,
detention
and
Overland
relief.
That
was
a
priority,
so
it's
just
been
a
challenge
to
try
to
accommodate
more
spaces
simply
because
we're
trying
to
balance
the
different
needs
along
the
corridor,
but
I
think,
overall,
with
the
treat
canopy
coverage
recommendations
with
recommendations
for
Greening,
not
just
on
site.
F
You
know
at
the
perimeter
of
the
site
on
the
ground
level,
but
also
on
buildings.
You
know
to
create
softer
edges.
We
we
will
accomplish
that
goal
to
Green
the
quarter.
It'll
just
take
a
little
bit
longer
and
over
multiple
it's
going
to
have
to
happen
over
multiple
efforts.
It's
not
just
going
to
be.
You
know,
through
one
park
or
through
a
series
of
parks,
it's
going
to
be
a
number
of
different
things
to
be
able
to
accomplish
that
right.
B
Well,
I
would
just
encourage
you
I'll
get
to
the
next
one.
We
had
a
wonderful
presentation,
I
hope
somebody
can
remind
me
who
gave
it
about
the
definitions
of
Greening
buildings
and
how
many,
how
much
variety
there
is
and
how
much
miscommunication
often
goes
into
greeting
screen
watching
sometimes.
B
Yeah,
so
that
was
a
wonderful
presentation
because
they
are
working
on
refining
those
definitions
so
that
we
can
all
be
speaking
the
same
language
when
we
speak
to
one
another
and
I
would
and
that,
but
that
I
think
that
strictly
relates
to
buildings,
maybe
I'm
wrong,
but
I
would
love
to
see
a
similar
set
of
definitions
apply
to
Green
Space,
and
so
you
know
you
know
to
be
to
be
XYZ
type
of
Green
Space.
B
You
have
to
have
certain
percentage
of
trees
or
whatever,
whatever
you
know,
something
along
that
line,
so
much
percentage
of
Hardscape.
So
we
all
know
exactly.
You
know
what
we're
talking
about
and
then
I'd
also
really
love
to
to
see
that
there
are
requirements
for
Native
plantings.
B
Just
you
know:
crepe
myrtles
everywhere:
okay,
so
I'll
I'll
stop
there
and
go
to
Melissa.
So
like
Colton
mentioned,
this
is
definitely
a
huge
undertaking.
I
am
first
excited
to
see
the
density
alleviated
housing
crisis
in
Arlington,
but
I
did
have
a
quick
question.
I,
don't
know
if
I
missed
it.
You
mentioned
that
that
it
was
difficult
to
cross
the
north
south
east
west
of
the
road
which
I've
personally
had
experienced,
but
I
don't
think
it
was
mentioned.
How
that's
planned
to
be
alleviated.
B
I
think
we
just
kind
of
went
to
the
next
one,
so
I'm
picturing
like
the
over
crosswalks
I'm.
It's
not
Tyson's
Corner,
but
there's
like
a
crosswalk
over
a
big
Road,
Arlington
Boulevard.
Yes,
it's
like
I'm
picturing
that
or
we're
picturing
50
stop
lights,
so
I
just
slow
down
the
traffic
like
tunnels.
Is
there
any
suggestion
of
what
that
will
be?
And
if
so,
how
we
can
make
that
perhaps
public
or
Green
Space?
B
F
I
didn't
share
that
today,
just
because
we
had
very
limited
time
and
I
wanted
to
focus
on
the
public
spaces,
but
we
do
consider
Langston
Boulevard
an
important
public
space
because
it
is
the
streetscape
so
for
the,
for
the
most
part,
we're
proposing
to
reduce
the
lane
widths,
which
will
reduce
the
amount
of
pavement
area,
we're
also
proposing
to
create
protective
bicycle
Lanes,
which
basically
adds
a
layer
of
landscaping
along
the
street
Edge
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
another
layer
for
Street
trees,
so
reducing
the
overall
pavement
area
and
increasing
the
Landscaping
areas
along
Langston.
F
Boulevard
is
one
thing
that
we're
proposing.
The
other
thing
we're
proposing
is
providing
additional
crosswalks,
improving,
very
specific
key
intersections
where
we
know
there
are
just
safety
conditions,
safety
issues
and
concerns
for
people
to
cross,
and
then
the
other
thing
that
we're
planning
to
do,
of
course,
is
to
encourage
the
use
of
Transit,
so
by
increasing
the
headways
so
that
you
know
they're,
not
20,
minutes
or
30
minutes,
but
instead
they're
10
minutes.
That
would
encourage
people
to
use
Transit.
F
So
that's
from
a
transportation
standpoint,
but
there's
definitely
ideas
to
to
Green
that
corridor
from
and
at
least
from
end
to
end
within
the
core
areas.
The
areas
that
we're
showing
for
change.
B
H
You
Sarah
thanks
yeah
I
yeah.
Second,
in
the
comments
of
other
Commissioners,
because
a
massive
undertaking
is
a
huge
planning
area.
I,
don't
think
anyone's
acknowledged
that,
like
yeah,
the
fact
that
you
have
five
sub
areas
is
really
I,
think
Testament
to
how
much
work,
you're
doing
and
I
definitely
recognize
all
the
competing
priorities
there.
H
Within
this
plan,
though,
like
focus
on
stormwater
and
also
privately
owned
public
space
and
the
the
language
about
using
privately
on
public
space
for
stormwater
mitigation,
I
think
is
really
really
promising,
because
I
think
you
know
encouraging
the
functionality
of
those
spaces
both
from
a
recreational
perspective,
but
then
also
an
environmental
perspective.
We'll
get
at
some
of
the
issues
we've
seen
in
site
plans
about
them
certain
situation
and
not
really
like
being
maintained
very
well
like
if
it
has
to
be
maintained
to
mitigate
flooding,
then
people
will
maintain
it
right.
H
But
I
am
a
little
concerned
like
in
the
design
guideline
section
for
the
privately
owned
public
spaces.
There
isn't
really
any
strong
language
about
storm
water
and
low
impact,
development
and
kind
of
how
those
spaces
can
be
designed
to
be
more
functional
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
you
know,
there's
an
opportunity
there
to
add
a
bit
more
detail
and
specification
and
recommendations
on
what
those
types
of
changes
to
the
spaces
could
be
achieved.
The
overall
storm
water
goals
of
the
plan,
but
on
the
weeds,
I
guess
not
we'll.
H
B
You
I
was
just
thinking
about
a
little
bit
out
loud,
so
this
might
be
coming
from
left
field.
But
if
we're
going
to
be
reducing
the
amount
of
traffic
and
and
the
lane
width
on
in
this
corridor,
are
we
expecting
that
some
of
the
traffic
will
divert
to
other
arteries
like
Wilson,
Boulevard
or
smooth
66,
and
have
we
have
we
figured
out
how
we're
going
to
address
that
so.
F
We
vitalize
the
traffic
issues
and
there's
there's
Ryan.
He
can
give
you
a
bit
of
a
summary
of
the
analysis,
but
yes,
we
have
analyzed
it.
G
We
did
do
an
analysis
that
compared
like
the
current
future
that
the
MW
Cog
sees
for
2040,
and
we
compared
that
to
the
Future
that
planned,
Langston
Boulevard
imagines
and
we
were
particularly
concerned
about,
would
we
be
pushing
trips
onto
nearby
streets
and
what
we
were.
What
we
found
in
that
analysis
is
that
we
really
that
really
wasn't
happening.
G
Maybe
there
were
a
couple
spots
where
the
congestion
went
up
just
slightly
in
2040,
but
for
the
most
part,
the
emphasis
on
transit
and
bikeability
did
a
lot
to
offset
the
increased
trips
that
would
come
with
the
growth
and
and
the
the
basically
the
remainder
of
the
network
had
very
minor
impacts,
almost
negligible.
G
It
did
incorporate
that
because
we
were
using
again
the
MW
Cog
model
that
anticipates
growth
throughout
the
Metro
region,
so
we
were
taking
into
account
as
well
by
doing
that
trips
that
might
originate
in
Fairfax,
County
and
end
up
in
DC
that
this
plan
can't
really
directly
influence
but
still
may
move
through.
So
those
those
factors
were
part
of
the
analysis
by
using
that
Cog
model
to
do
it,
but.
D
F
We
know
it
in
units
right,
Ryan,
I,
think
it's
a
net
increase
of
approximately
10
000
units
and
just
to
clarify
the
model
that
Brian
is
is
talking
about.
He
compared
it
to
what
the
potential
growth
would
be
along.
The
quarter
based
on
these
Heights
correct.
D
C
G
In
the
cars
yes
and
the
transportation
analysis
also
accounted
for
the
plan,
the
growth
elsewhere
nearby,
like
in
Falls
Church
or
other
parts
of
Fairfax
County
or
in
Washington.
You
know
Metro
Washington
DC
in
general,
so
all
of
the
growth
that's
currently
in
the
Cog
model,
420
40,
plus
what
we
were
in
adding
addition
to
that
with
plants,
Langston
Boulevard
was
taken
into
account.
B
G
G
For
the
purposes
of
this
analysis,
yes,
we
wanted
to
be
on
the
conservative
side
and
add
that
to
the
overall
model,
so
we
didn't,
for
example,
take
those
units
away
from
another
part
of
the
region.
We
we
considered
it
net
additive
to
the
county,
because
we
wanted
to
be
intellectually
honest
and
rigorous
with
what
we
were
studying.
Okay,.
D
G
The
short
answer
is
yes,
it,
a
significant
part
of
the
transit
set
of
recommendations
has
to
do
with
improving
the
frequency
and
the
experience
of
what
so
the
frequency
of
the
bus
service,
the
experience
of
waiting
for
the
bus,
so
the
predictability
and
the
frequency
go
way
up.
There's
also
recommendations
that
have
to
do
with
signal
priority
and
other
things
that
make
the
the
bus
trip
the
most
predictable
and
kind
of
the
path
of
least
resistance
out
there
in
the
future
compared
to
other
modes.
G
There's
also,
it's
important
to
note,
though,
that
the
improvements
in
the
streetscape
that
account
for
that
help
with
bikeability
and
walkability
in
general,
are
also
really
important.
So
it's
not
only
on
the
shoulders
of
the
bus
system
to
improve.
It's
also
quite
important
that
shorter
trips
be
more
possible
by
bike
and
by
foot
and.
D
This
is
the
anticipation
is
that
Arlington's
County
art
system
or
whatever
it
is
in
2040,
we'll
be
shouldering
this
burden,
because
Metro
is
not
exactly
doing
well
these
days
and
you
certainly
can't
be
making
promises
on
what
they're
going
to
do.
G
That's
a
good
point,
so
that
was
also
the
topic
of
the
transportation
committee's
discussion.
Quite
a
bit.
G
You
know
again
trying
to
summarize
and
tell
me
if
I
get
this
wrong
Natasha,
the
the
folks
at
Des
have
talked
about
the
headways
that
are
necessary
and
they've
talked
about
the
improvements
that
are
necessary
in
the
bus
system
over
time,
and
they
would
be
added
incrementally
to
help
encourage
the
right
kind
of
development
and
to
support
it
simultaneously.
It
is
not
clear
and
it
hasn't
been
committed
to
yet
whether
it's
a
la
model
route
or
whether
it's
an
art
route
or,
like
you,
said,
a
future
service
that
doesn't
exist
today.
Yet.
C
D
I
I
did
want
to
ask
one
other
thing,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
monopolies.
D
D
D
I
find,
though,
that
the
regards
to
Parks
and
Recreation
that
the
dependence
on
proposed
privately
owned
public
spaces
as
a
adequate
substitution
for
actual
parks
and
public
space,
which
can
be
influenced
by
the
people
who
live
in
a
borrowing
term
and
which
react
to
or
people
in
Arlington
wood.
It's
completely.
D
For
the
type
of
growth
that
is
being
planned
for
you
and
and
then
when
you
factor
that
the
transportation
needs
to
these
areas,
I
mean
There,
Are
Places.
You
know
particularly
north
of
Langston.
There
are
pretty
well
served
in
terms
of
Parks
and
Recreation,
but
they're
also
pretty
well
used
and
it'll
be
adding
a
lot
of
people.
Presumably
a
lot
of
families
they're
going
to
need
more
and
they're,
not
just
going
to
need
a
plaza
to
hang
out
in
they're,
going
to
want
playground
space
they're
going
to
want
active
Recreation
space.
B
Yeah
I
have
to
say
I
think
that's
a
really
good
point.
We
are
already
like
above
Max,
Capacity
I,
think
the
county
is
doing
a
survey
of
the
use
in
the
Parks
right
Marco
we're
going
to
be
getting
a
report
on
that
whenever
it's
finished,
but
everybody
who's
played
Sports
does
there's
just
no
there's
not
enough
space
to
play
sports
and.
B
Some
ways
yeah
so
I
I
I,
have
to
Echo
that
I
think
that's
a
really
important
thing
to
think
about.
B
D
You
know
one
place
to
look
for
that,
of
course,
is
the
the
community
centers
that
are
up
there,
Langston
and
Lee
Senator
in
in
terms
of
how
that
I
know,
at
least
at
least
supposed
to
be
renovated
right.
B
So
well,
we
have
six
more
minutes.
B
Yeah
so
well,
let
me
just
sum
up
by
saying
thank
you
so
much.
This
has
really
been
edifying.
We
really
appreciate
the
hard
work
that
has
gone
into
this
and
we
appreciate
you
coming
and
listening
to
our
comments
and
I'm
sure
we
will
be
following
up
with
our
written
set
of
recommendations
too.
F
F
So
there's
time
when
you
know,
if,
when
you
get
the
the
revised
or
the
RTA
draft,
there
are
things
that
we
haven't
addressed,
or
there
are
things
that
are
still
missing,
we're
happy
to
come
back
after
the
RTA
Draft
before
we
go
to
the
county
board
for
final
adoption,
which
we
hope
will
be
in
early
November
or
mid-november
whatever
that
date
is
we're
happy
to
come
back
and
you
know
have
some
follow-up
conversations
if
needed.
F
C
F
A
You
all
right.
The
next
topic
item
is
the
use
permits
for
public
spaces,
design
processes,
presentation,
discussion
and
we
are
actually
joined
here
by
Walter,
Gonzalez,
Irina,
lasek
and
Nick
Rogers.
So
we'll
kick
it
off
to
you
guys.
J
Thank
you
Marco
and
thank
you
good
evening,
Commissioners
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
Irina
Lasik
I'm,
a
long-range
Park
planning,
section
supervisor
with
the
Department
of
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
we
are
pleased
to
pleased
to
present
you
this
evening.
The
second
phase
of
a
broader
zoning
study
related
to
public
spaces
and
this
space
focuses
on
use
permits
for
public
space
processes.
I
am
joined
tonight
by
my
two
colleagues,
Nick
Rogers
from
the
Department
of
Community
planning,
Housing
and
Development
planning,
Division
and,
as
Marco
mentioned
Walter
as
well.
J
Who
is
a
Plano
bdpr
during
this
presentation?
You
will
we're
gonna,
try
to
make
it
as
brief
as
possible
and
you're
gonna
see
all
three
of
us
in
the
presenter
role,
so
I'm
gonna
start
and
then
I'm
gonna
hand
it
over
to
Anika
and
Walter.
So
we
are
going
to
be
also
answering
any
questions
that
you
may
have
after
the
presentation
very
quickly
about
the
purpose
of
this
study.
J
The
purpose
of
this
study
is
really
to
explore
adding
a
use
permit
option
for
the
County
Board
to
consider
case-by-case
modifications
of
Arlington
zoning
code
for
public
spaces
to
enable
more
flexibility
about
the
location
of
facilities
where
the
facilities
in
Parks
can
be
located
to
avoid
environmentally
sensitive
areas
and
to
also
reduce
parking
requirements
where
parking
is
unnecessary
or
other
alternatives
are
available.
This
study
originates
in
the
public
spaces
master
plan.
You
all
know
that
that
plan
was
adopted
in
2019
and
the
plan
included
the
recommendation
to
review
and
update
the
zoning
regulations.
J
The
plane
identified
some
specific
categories
of
the
zoning
that
should
be
reviewed
and
they're
all
listed
here.
Next
slide,
please
the
PCP,
as
you
can
tell
the
psnp
envisions.
This
is
a
very
broad
study
or
very
complex
many
and
very
complex
issues
related
to
the
public
spaces.
So
we
envisioned
this
study
as
a
three-phase
approach.
A
first
study
was
completed
in
March.
J
So
we
already
finished
the
first
phase
and
it
was
adopted
by
the
board
in
March,
and
this
is
the
second
phase
that
we
anticipate
to
finish
this
winter
phase
3,
which
is
a
more
comprehensive
and
more
robust
study.
We
hope
to
commence
in
next
year,
sometime
next
year,
so
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
I
believe
eunuch.
That's.
K
Right
thanks
Arena,
so
in
looking,
you
know,
as
we
were
coming
out
of
the
first
phase
of
the
study,
we
knew
we
wanted
a
near-term
tool
for
the
county
to
utilize
for
some
for
forthcoming
capital
projects
in
Ford's
parks
and
open
spaces
and
other
public
spaces,
and
we
have
some
precedent
that
that
we're
drawing
inspiration
from
with
the
zoning
ordinance
amendment
that
was
completed
in
2016
to
the
benefit
of
APs
to
the
public
school
system.
K
Several
of
you
may
recall
at
the
time
that
APS
was
embarking
on
several
simultaneous
construction
projects
to
increase
capacity
at
at
new
and
expanded
schools,
and
some
of
the
strictures
that
were
identified
in
in
the
psmp
were
at
the
time
similarly
applicable
to
our
public
schools
and,
and
so
what
the
the
board
did
to
allow
that
case-by-case.
K
Flexibility
to
go
along
with
those
individualized
reviews
was
to
expand
the
the
use,
permit
flexibility
to
expand
their
modification
authority
to
account
for
tweaks
and
and
other
modifications
to
existing
regulations
related
to
maximum
height
setbacks,
density
and
parking
as
as
well,
and
so
for,
for
a
brief
moment
Walter
for
the
next
slide.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
educating
the
members
of
the
commission
about
the
use
permit
process.
K
This
is
a
type
of
land
use
application
that
a
business
or
an
institution
can
file
in
order
to
receive
approval
for
a
type
of
land
use
activity
that
is
is
generally
acceptable
and
desirable
in
Arlington,
but
if
located
at
certain,
if,
if
established
in
certain
types
of
locations,
may
cause
different
types
of
land,
use
impacts,
oftentimes,
Transportation
or
related,
or
you
know,
there
could
be
impacts
related
to
nearby
residences,
and
so
because
of
of
the
potential
for
concern,
the
the
county
does
not
permit
certain
types
of
uses.
K
For
example,
you
know
Bike
Share
stations,
outdoor
cafes
in
the
in
the
right
of
way,
as
well
as
live
entertainment
as
well.
That's
that
that's
that
middle
image
there
for
with
the
the
DJs
those
go
through
a
County
Board
review
process
that
oftentimes
they
are
on
the
consent
agenda
staff
has
reviewed
those
in
consultation
with
adjacent
property
owners
and
and
adjacent
Civic
associations
and
and
so
oftentimes.
The
use
permit
is
permitting
a
a
type
of
use.
K
But
next
slide
is,
as
with
the
schools
process,
sometimes
that
that
use
permit
can
be
used
to
modify
individualized
zoning
regulations,
whether
it's
the
parking
requirements
for
a
child
care
center
to
to
allow
for
a
reduction
or
for
an
outdoor
Cafe
to
it
perhaps
expand
the
number
of
seats
or
or
expand
the
hours
of
operation
again
on
a
limited
case-by-case
basis
in
the
mention
for
schools
as
well.
K
What
we're
evaluating
are
are
different
measures
and
and
individualized
zoning
regulations
that
can
be
relaxed
or
modified
in
some
way
shape
or
form
to
the
benefit
of
of
the
public
space
system
and
I
will
clarify.
This
is
predominantly
for
parks
that
are
are
operated
and
maintained
by
DPR
I
know.
A
lot
of
the
conversation
with
your
last
item
was
related
to
Pops
that
are
coming
through
the
site
plan
process,
privately
owned
public
spaces.
We're
really
talking
about
DPR
operating
parks
are
our
public
park
system
with
the
heart
of
this
zoning
study.
I
So
you
may
find
yourself
asking:
why
should
the
county
change?
Why
should
the
County
zoning
change
for
the
public
spaces?
The
purpose
of
the
study
is
to
identify
opportunities
in
our
zoning
standards
for
changes
that
would
enable
more
creative
and
efficient
use
of
Arlington's
limited
land
devoted
to
public
space.
The
zoning
standards,
which
control
the
placement
dimensions
of
structures
in
public
spaces
have
largely
remained
unchanged
since
the
20th
Century's
midpoint.
I
After
examining
several
public
space
projects
that
have
been
completed
in
recent
years
and
considering
how
zoning
flexibility
could
be
helpful
for
the
development
of
planning
of
future
projects,
staff
landed
on
four
main
areas
to
examine
what
this
is
happening.
Study
increased
height
requirements
to
allow
for
taller
structures,
reduce
setbacks
to
allow
structures
to
be
located
close
to
the
street,
particularly
helpful
for
smaller
sites.
I
K
So
we'll
go
through
each
of
those
four
categories:
Madam
chair
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
applicable
regulations
and
then
Walter
will
follow
up
with
some
some
examples
of
of
potentials
and
possibilities.
Some
sometimes
from
retroactive
case
studies
as
well,
and
so
what
you're
seeing
here
on
the
slide
are
the
the
maximum
height
requirements
for
both
the
s3a
and
the
PS
zoning
districts.
K
I
know
that
the
parking
recognition
is
accustomed
to
seeing
our
our
Park
Master
plans
and
other
Park
projects
coming
through
the
process,
usually
having
s3a,
sometimes
that
PS
zoning
and
the
heights
that
we
have
listed
on
the
slide
here
are
absolutes.
They
they
cannot
be
increased
or
or
breached
in
any
sort
in
any
sort
of
way
without
some
sort
of
potential
modification.
Like
the
the
the
potential
amendments
that
we're
suggesting
and
considering,
we've
listed
some
of
the
types
of
of
structures
and
amenities
that
are
that
appear
in
our
public
spaces.
K
That
would
that
that
need
to
adhere
to
these
Heights
again
here
in
Arlington,
we
don't
have
exclusions
or
or
other
types
of
of
cutouts
for
the
zoning
standards
that
are
applicable
to
to
County,
operated
and
owned
Parks.
We
we
need
to
follow
our
own
rules,
and
so
when
it,
what
we've
identified
with
a
lot
of
this
setting
going
back
to
the
the
psmp
is
that
those
rules
need
to
be
adjusted
to
help
maximize
the
public
space
system.
K
So
Walter
I
think
you
were
going
to
talk
about
Jenny
Dean
a
little
bit.
C
I
Yeah
well,
as
you
always,
all
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
Jimmy
Dean
Park,
which
went
through
a
extensive
public
engagement
process
during
the
master
planning
process,
and,
as
you
may
be
aware,
this
is
the
final
design
that
was
adopted
and
implemented
for
the
park,
and
an
issue
for
the
park
was
that
in
the
expansion
in
acquisition
of
some
of
the
sites,
the
expansion
of
JDM
phase,
two
some
of
the
sites,
some
of
the
parcels,
resumed
M1
and
the
rest
of
Genie
Dean,
was
known
as
3A,
and
throughout
this
process
there
were
improvements
to
the
athletic
fields
and
the
athletic
field
lights.
I
After
reaching
final
design,
as
proposed
the
park,
improvements
included,
75
foot,
75,
plus
foot
Athletic,
Field
lights,
the
athletic
field
lights
are
required
to
be
this
tall
to
provide
safe
lighting
levels
while
reducing
light,
spillover
and
glare
into
the
surrounding
neighborhoods.
The
s3a
zoning
District
allows
for
Heights
up
to
68
feet,
but
the
S3
zoning
height
limits
are
too
restrictive
to
accommodate
the
proposal
of
the
height
of
the
athletic
field
lights.
So
in
this
example.
This
is
why
Genie
Dean
was
rezoned
to
PS
District,
because
it
allowed
flexibilities
in
the
Heights.
K
Walter
mentioned
some
of
the
zoning
ordinances
setback
requirements
as
well.
I
acknowledge
Madam
chair
that
this
slide
is
a
bit
wordy
and
I
hope,
you'll,
consult
this
and
and
reference
this
for
for
further
study.
But
you
know
the
idea.
K
The
the
main
idea
that
we
want
to
share
is:
is
that
particularly
for
smaller
sites
like
the
one
that
that
Walter
is,
is
gonna
share
momentarily
these
setback
requirements
which
have
a
purpose
and
intent
in
order
to
create
orderly,
spacing
of
of
buildings
based
on
you
know,
from
site
to
site
from
property
to
private
property
they
can.
They
can
counteract
and
and
impinge
upon,
some
of
the
creativity
in
the
site,
design
and
layout.
K
That
comes
with
the
the
particularly
a
master
planning
process
or
or
other
types
of
upgrades
and
improvements
to
the
public
space
system.
Now
we
have
it
we've.
The
board
has
already
adopted
some
flexibility
for
the
play
equipment:
the
trash
receptacles,
the
bike,
racks,
the
performance
stages,
some
of
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
common
amenities
that
that
again
are
bolted
to
the
ground
and
and
prior
to
March,
of
2023
also
needed
to
be
outside
of
the
setback.
K
So
we've
introduced
that
flexibility
or
the
board
has
already
adopted
that
flexibility,
rather
for
the
smaller
amenities
that
would
be
in
the
park.
We
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
utility
in
extending
modification
Authority
again
through
that
use,
permit
process
on
a
case-by-case
basis
for
for
different
types
of
of
buildings,
potentially.
K
In
this
diagram
just
lists
some
of
us
just
a
pictorial
of
of
how,
when
you
start
pinching
in
on
on
a
on
a
home
site,
this
is
a
diagram
from
the
zoning
ordinance
where
those
no
build
zones
are
on
the
perimeter
of
the
property.
Again.
This
is
a.
This
is
a
typical
diagram,
a
theoretical
diagram,
even
as
the
as
the
commission
can
understand.
Not
all
of
our
our
public
space
properties
are
our
perfect
rectangles.
In
this
regard,.
I
So
Bailey's
branch
is
a
project
that
we
wanted
to
highlight
currently
I'm,
not
sure
if
you're
familiar
with
Bailey's
Branch,
it
is
a
narrow,
linear,
trick
or
part
situated
in
Columbia,
Forest
neighborhood
and
in
the
near
future
is
set
to
start
the
master
planning
process
for
it,
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
can
see
in
the
diagram
below
or
the
legend,
who
might
be
a
little
difficult,
but
I'll
call
out
some
of
the
things
of
the
legend
just
so
you
can
see
on
the
map
there
in
the
blue
on
the
map,
that
is
the
RPA.
I
The
first
line
you
will
see
will
be
the
purple
dash
line
that
would
be
applying
the
50-foot
setback
from
any
Street
Center
Line
into
the
park.
The
following
line,
you
will
see,
is
an
orange
line
dashed
line,
which
is
the
25
foot
setback
from
the
back
of
the
property
line,
which
is
the
degree
as
you
can
see.
It
doesn't
really
live
us
a
whole
lot
of
space
buildable
space
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
park
itself
also,
there
are
great
changes
to
the
site.
Half
the
park
is
in
the
resource
protection
area.
I
And
currently
it
based
on
the
setbacks
that
we're
presented
currently,
given
that
they
are
Front
Street
setbacks.
It's
a
very
limited
space
that
we
have
in
a
very
limited
area
to
plan
within
itself
in
there
we'll
have
to
push
amenities
closer
to
the
property
line
in
order
to
mitigate
those
concerns
regarding
tree
camping,
staying
outside
the
resource
protection
area,
while
also
taking
consideration
topographical
changes
that
or
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see
in
the
air
review,
but
I
believe
you
should
be
able
to
see
it.
I
I
Another
example
that
we've
been
doing
regarding
reduced
setbacks
is
there's
been
a
requests
and
consideration.
There's
been
a
request,
consideration
of
the
place
on
the
wrestling
facilities
and
some
of
our
parks
that
currently
don't
have
any.
In
this
example.
This
was
a
community
request
near
Drew,
Park
and
John
Robinson
Junior
Town
Square,
in
which
the
community
expressed
a
desire
for
a
restroom
to
be
located
close
to
the
property
line
close
to
the
street
in
between
Drew
Park
and
jonty.
Robson
would
be
accessible
and
visible
to
users,
but
going
off
basic
current
setbacks.
I
Drew
Park
is
an
s3a
and
we'd
have
to
apply
to
either
grade
or
50
feet
from
the
center
line
or
20
feet
from
the
property
line.
It's
a
little
hard
to
tell
on
the
drawing,
but
the
pink
line
is
50
feet
from
the
street
Center
Line
and
the
yellow
is
25
from
the
street
right
of
way.
Ideally,
we
want
to
place
the
restaurant
facility
closer
to
the
street,
but
current
setbacks
wouldn't
allow
us
to
so.
I
I
Another
example
regarding
setbacks
specifically
related
to
quartz
and
athletic
field
lighting
is
upper
Bluemont
upper
Beaumont
Park,
which
is
currently
going
through
a
planning
process
as
well.
Currently,
the
master,
the
blue
one
upper
Blue,
Mountain
Park
conceptual
design,
has
proposed
a
redesign
of
the
upper
Beaumont
tennis
courts
and
Park
after
a
year-long
community
process
and
the
community
expressed
desire
and
reconfiguring
relocating
tennis
courts
outside
of
the
resource
protection
area
and
pulling
them
closer
to
Manchester
Street
for
upper
Bluemont.
I
The
design
issues
are
the
courts
and
the
lighting
poles
for
the
courts
encrypted
to
setbacks,
as
this
was
done
to
pull
the
courts
outside
of
the
RPA
as
much
as
possible
in
this
next
slide.
In
the
next
slide,
you
will
see
lighting
poles
for
the
tennis
courts
that
have
been
placed
inside
a
setback
of
the
rules.
I
Here
you
can
see
an
exhibit
regarding
the
proposed
conceptual
redesign
of
the
upper
Blue
Mountain
Park,
the
same
setback,
requirements
for
s3a
applied
here,
the
larger
either
50
feet
from
from
Center
Line
of
any
Street
or
25
from
any
street
right
away.
I
shouldn't
the
exhibit.
You
can
see
the
property
line
in
red,
the
RPA
boundary
in
Green
in
the
setback
lines
Dash,
as
well
as
a
general
location
and
plan
of
the
draft
concept,
one
as
you
see
in
the
exhibit
here.
I
There
are
three
light
poles
circled
in
purple
at
the
bottom,
along
South,
Manchester
Street.
That
would
fall
within
the
setback,
and
this
is
a
common
issue
that
we
run
into.
The
location
of
these
poles
makes
sense,
given
the
location
of
the
courts
and
help
with
illumination
and
help
eliminate
within
the
park
boundaries.
K
And
so
that
third
grouping
of
of
zoning
regulations
that
we've
been
examining
are
the
parking
requirements
and-
and
so
one
of
my
favorite
statistics
that
I
like
to
highlight
from
the
psmp,
is
the
fact
that
47
of
our
parks
are
no
more
than
two
acres
in
size,
and
so
with
that
small
area
and
with
so
much
as
an
old
planning
director
that
I
worked
for
used
to
say
where
we're
trying
to
fit
10
pounds
in
a
two
pound
bag
where
we
have
so
much
that's
going
on
with
our
Parks
related
to
natural
resource
management,
storm
water
management,
casual
use
space
as
as
well
as
more
sport,
courts
and
other
activities.
K
The
space
is
at
a
premium
and
in
the
event
that
that
staff,
in
consultation
with
the
the
community
and
others
may
see
Alternatives
or
other
opportunities
to
Paving
over
our
park
space
simply
to
meet
zoning
ordinance
requirements.
There.
We
see
a
real
opportunity
to
introduce
some
flexibility
to
allow
the
board
to
modify
it
and
and
oftentimes
reduce
those
parking
requirements.
We
think
this
would
be
really
helpful
for
all
for
a
lot
of
those
smaller
sites.
K
Again,
the
zoning
ordinance
for
certain
types
of
of
amenities
that
would
be
placed
in
in
our
public
spaces,
an
athletic
field
that
would
be
considered
outdoor
recreation,
our
courts.
There
would
be
a
parking
requirement
that
goes
along
with
adding
that
amenity
to
to
one
of
our
public
spaces,
and
so
this
this
is
a
real,
essential
piece
that
we,
we
feel
should
be
included
in
what
the
board
can
consider
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
I
As
you
see
here,
there
are
parks
that
are
situated
Urban
corridors
that
have
recreational
amenities
that
require
parking
for
those
types
of
amenities,
but
given
their
locations,
including
parking,
was
not
was
not
feasible
and
would
greatly
impact
design
and
function
of
these
parts.
For
example,
here
on
your
left,
you
will
see
three
Urban
Parts,
which
consist
of
Murray
Park,
Hershey,
Millican,
Park
and
Gumball
Park.
These
three
parks
are
expected
to
start
the
master
planning
process,
hopefully
in
the
near
future,
if
it
used
to
be
parks.
I
As
you
can
see
here,
Murray
Park
has
active
Recreation
with
tennis
courts.
Hershey
Milliken
Park
is
more
natural,
Greenscape
and
Gumball.
Gumball
Park
is
also
a
natural
area
as
well
with
these
Parks.
If
we
were
to
add
any
users
that
required
parking
on
the
smaller
sides,
specifically
Gumball
or
Hershey
Milliken.
I
Parking,
they
would
only
accommodate
very
few
spaces
and
reduce
the
park
space
for
Meaningful
uses,
but
without
knowing
the
future
the
future
uses
of
these
Parks
it's
hard
to
plan
for
incorporating
any
uses
that
trigger
parking
requirements.
Another
example
here
that
some
of
y'all
may
be
familiar
with
is
Roslyn
Highland,
Park
Rosen
Highland
Parks
this
park.
K
And
just
as
we're
about
to
wrap
up
I'll,
just
very
quickly
note,
you
know
the
the
two
things
we
have
a
lot
of
text
on
the
slide,
but
the
two
things
that
we're
we're
really
trying
to
be
mindful
of
when
it
comes
to
our
sign
regulations
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
K
There's
some
there's
some
peculiar
language
about
the
location
of
a
flagpole
near
a
a
an
entrance
of
a
building.
Well,
in
the
event
that
we'd
like
to
install
a
flagpole
in
a
in
a
in
a
public
space
that
does
not
have
any
buildings,
we'd
like
to
eliminate
some
of
the
confusion
around
some
of
those
requirements.
For
for
what
our
sign
ordinance,
the
zoning
ordinances
sign,
chapters
cover
regarding
flags
and
flag
signs
and
then
also
with
the
identification
of
parks.
K
Currently,
the
zoning
ordinance
requires
that
that
freestanding
signs,
like
the
one
that's
depicted
in
the
the
image
here
for
Benjamin
Banneker
Park.
Those
need
to
be
either
10
feet
back
from
a
sidewalk
or
five
feet
back
from
a
property
line
and
in
some
instances
that
that
five
or
ten
feet
can
be
pretty
crucial
in
in
ensuring
that
a
member
of
the
public
or
an
emergency
responder
can
properly
identify
the
name
of
the
park
and
and
Orient
themselves.
K
So
so
we
have
been
asked
by
by
some
of
our
internal
colleagues
to
consider.
Is
there
some
way
to
ensure
that
that
we
can
introduce
some
flexibility
for
for
a
certain
science
standards.
I
I
Engagement
guide,
typical
projects
have
two
to
three
engagements,
but
larger
projects
will
have
more
engagement
depending
on
the
complexity
of
the
project,
and
these
engagements
can
vary
either
in
person
meetings,
virtual
meetings
or
pop-up
events
in
order
to
solicit
feedback
on
top
of
online
feedback
surveys
to
solicit
feedback,
as
well,
usually
with
the
engagements.
The
first
engagement
might
be
a
visioning
with
the
communities
less
feedback
on
design.
Of
course
it
depends
on
the
scope
of
the
project
and
the
type
of
project.
I
J
And
if
I
can
just
add
a
Walter,
oh,
this
is
very
important,
because
I
think
what
we're
trying
to
kind
of
relate
to
you
is
that
this
zoning
study
is
not
replacing
any
of
these
public
space
planning.
You
all
know
this,
but
I
just
want
to
kind
of
state
it
and
confirm
it.
We
are
always
going
to
have
a
public
engagement
for
our
either
Park
Master
planning
or
design
project,
so
we
are
going
to
work
with
the
community
to
come
up
with
the
design
that
will
then
based
on
that
design.
J
We
are
going
to
be
asking
for
a
certain
use.
Permit
modification
so
use
permit
modification
is
really
just
adding
another
process
extra
layer
of
process,
but
it
will
allow
the
County
Board
to
consider
the
designs
that
sometimes
possibly
would
not
be
meeting
current
zoning
regulations
so
just
want
to
clarify
that
and
I
think
some
of
the
examples
such
as
Bloom
on
some
of
the
other
ones
that
Walter
provided
overview
of
I
think
they're
kind
of
proving
this
fact
that
we
go
through
these
extensive
processes.
J
And
there
is
a
good
things
that
we're
trying
to
do
to
avoid
the
environmentally
sensitive
areas
to
to
listen
to
the
community.
And
then
you
know
we're
stuck
with
the
not
being
able
to
complete
the
project,
because
there
is
a
zoning
obstacle
on
our
way.
So
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
that
we
are
still
going
to
have
our
extensive
public
engagement
processes
and
for
all
of
our
project.
As
you
know,
because
we're
all
involved
in
with
that.
So
just
want
to
clarify
that.
J
K
We'd
find
Madam
chair.
We
we
plan,
we
would.
We
would
like
and
we'd
prefer
to
have
our
work
wrapped
up
and
and
at
on
the
county
board's
agenda
with
their
December
meeting
by
the
by
the
end
of
this
year.
We
have
of
several
engagement.
K
Really
your
our
appearance
tonight
is
is
essentially
the
first
publicly
facing
conversation
that
we're
having
with
some
of
the
analysis
that
we've
been
work
working
on
and
some
of
our
thinking.
We
have
an
online
feedback
Forum
that
just
went
live
today.
K
We've
we've
shared
that
with
Mr
Rivero
and
and
we're
hoping
that
that
can
be
shared
with
you
and
and
and
those
of
your
neighbors
as
as
well.
We
do
have
a
tentative
date
of
October
3rd,
a
lunchtime
virtual
public
information
session
that
you
should
be
seeing
some
some
mention
of
in
County
correspondence
and
and
we
plan
to
be
briefing
the
the
planning
commissions
zoning
committee
next
month
at
on
October,
10th
and
so
I.
Think
with
that
Madam
chair
would
be
here
to
answer
yours
and
the
other
commissioner's
questions.
B
All
right
thanks
just
on
this
topic,
so
if
we
were
to
write
a
letter,
what
would
we
do?
I
was
trying
to
figure
out.
A
B
Perfect
all
right
and
just
to
summarize
and
make
sure
I'm
understanding
the
process
that
you're
asking
for
you're
not
asking
to
change
any
zoning.
What
you're
asking
for
is
to
add
a
element
of
process
so
that
zoning
rule
changes
can
be
considered.
That
which
is
presently
not
the
case
am
I.
Is
that
a
correct
summary?
That's.
K
J
Okay
and
those
will
be
done
Case
by
case
I-
think
that's
also
important
important
thing
to
mention,
so
even
whenever
we
do
go
through
the
use
permit
process
that
really
relates
and
applies
only
to
that
certain
use
permit.
So
it
would
not
apply
to
our
other
projects,
so
we
would
again
have
to
go
lucky.
If
we
to
propose
another
project,
we
would
have
to
go
to
another
use
permanent
project
process.
So
every
time
when
we
request
use
permit
for
a
specific
project,
we
will
go
through
the
same
process.
J
B
D
I
have
so
many
questions
but
I'm
going
to
try
to
keep
it
to
you
a
couple
and
it
has
to
it
actually
takes
off
of
what
still
was
just
talking
about
about
the
the
course
of
loose
resistance.
So
what
so,
first
of
all
I
know
the
virginity
you
switched
the
zoning
of
the
park,
so
you
didn't
have
to
deal
with
the
the
expected.
D
J
J
There
is
another
option:
there
is
an
option
as
I
think
Walter
mentioned
it
Jenny
Dean
case,
and
there
were
some
of
other
examples
as
well,
but
in
Jenny
Dean
we
ask
not
to
rezone
this
park
to
s3a,
which
is
normally
where
most
of
our
parks
are
located,
but
to
PS
District
PS
district
is
another
Public
District
which
allows
for
Park
uses.
So
it's
not
uncommon
completely
so,
but
PS
district
is
mostly
for
different
types
of
facilities,
but
this
is
something
the
where
parks
are
located
occasionally,
so
we
could
we.
J
This
was
done
in
the
case
of
Jenny
Dean
and
a
third
option
which
we
normally
don't
like
to
take,
or
we
are
not
normally
it.
Wouldn't
it
wouldn't
be.
An
easy
process
is
to
ask
for
a
variance
to
go
through
a
specific
process
to
us
to
go
through
the
board
of
zoning
appeals
and
ask
for
a
variance
from
the
zoning
regulations,
so
that
process
is
usually
very
complex.
J
I
know
that
our
planning
department
and
the
zone
and
the
Planning
Commission
do
not
usually
support
requests
like
that,
because
it's
really
in
the
request
for
the
zoning
variants,
you
have
to
prove
hardship
and
hardship
is
not
just
well.
This
is
designed
that
the
community
wants
that
wouldn't
really
be
a
perfect
hardship.
You
would
have
to
really
prove
that,
and
sometimes
we
can
do
that.
Sometimes
we
can't
prove
that
there
is
something
unique
with
that
site
that
would
allow
there
was
nothing
else
we
can
do.
We
just
have
to
ask
our
variance.
J
This
is
the
only
option
that
we
have
so
variances
are
hard
to
hard
to
be
approved.
You
know
so
so
I
think
Nick
and
I.
You
can
help
with
this
part,
because
you,
you
know
more
than
I,
do
about
this,
but
I
think
that
is
a
kind
of
this.
To
summarize,
those
are
three
usually
normally
typically
what
we
do
for
some
of
these
when
we,
when
we
know
that
we
are
not
meeting
zoning
regulations.
C
D
Because
even
the
use
permit
process
is
a
process
you
have
to
go
to
and
the
idea
of
having
to
go
through
use
print
process
in
order
to
be
able
to
put
a
sign
in
a
different
place
in
a
park
than
you
can
right.
Now
is
ridiculous,
a
waste
of
a
lot
of
people's
time
and
money
to
do
that,
because
you
have
to
spend
the
time
putting
together
all
the
the
arguments
with
it
and
it
just
it
is
ridiculous.
D
We
still
have
to
do
that
so
yeah,
a
couple
of
Big
Ideas
I
have
first
of
all
defining
a
structure.
You
know
what
it
I
mean
right
right
now,
I
guess
it's
the
point
that
something
that's
attached
to
the
ground
is:
it
was
that
the
intent
of
of
the
setbacks
and
the
height
is
a
bit
that
they
weren't
all
structures,
even
the
poles,
to
not
be
above
that
height.
D
D
So
you
don't
have
to
even
do
that,
because
it's
not
I
doubt
that
that
was
the
intent
to
say
that
we
couldn't
put
a
light
pole.
It
was
higher
than
that
because
of.
D
Know
the
attention
was
probably
more
about
building
the
structures,
but
anyway,
I
think
maybe
maybe
similar
about
how
the
the
the
playground
equipments
can
now
be.
You
know
why
should
play
vertical
to
even
be
considered
part
of
the
definition
of
a
of
a
structure
in
that
sense?
Second
idea:
oh
first
of
all,
why
was
your
confusion
about
whether
the
flagpole
ordinance
apply
to
a
place
that
had
no
buildings,
I
mean
if
the
ordinance
says
the
building,
there's
no
building?
Why
is
there
confusions?
K
Unfortunately,
I
I
I
don't
have
a
good
answer.
Oftentimes
those
sorts
of
determinations
are
again
are
done
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
so
yeah
I'm,
I'm,
I'm.
Sorry,
sir
I
I
don't
have
a
good
answer
to
on
sort
of
not
just
the
intent
of
of
of
that
regulation
but
sort
of
the
the
outcomes.
Let
us
let
us
take
that
back
and
and
in
some
of
our
memos
to
the
the
zoning
committee
into
the
the
County
Board,
make
sure
that
we're
crystal
clear
and
have
those
details
ironed
out.
That's
on
us
yeah.
D
The
zoning
ordinances
in
a
way
that
is
thought
this
will
be
in
Temperance,
is
designed
to
prevent
us
from
from
people
saying
anything
or
complaining
or
suing.
It's
got
a
risk
aversion
strategy,
but
it's
just
ridiculous
that
again
that
you
should
have
to
go
to
the
county
at
the
County
Board
to
ask
for
you
to
be
able
to
put
a
sign
in
a
different
location
than
what
the
ordinance
says.
You
have
to
do.
D
That's
helpful
feedback,
so
I
really
urge
you
in
base
three
to
work
on
what
are
some
things
that
you
can
just
take
out
of
the
Zone
environments
altogether,
and
so
that
I
mean
they
don't
even
apply
to
these
I
mean
still
had
those
guidelines,
of
course,
but
not
something
you
have
to
go
to
the
County
Board
in
order
to
be
able
to
change.
H
C
H
B
C
D
B
Any
any
other
comments.
Well,
I
I
really
do
appreciate
you
being
here
Alex
exactly
right.
It's
a
it's
really
tedious
but
important
work
that
you're
working
on,
because
I
do
want
to
underscore
how
important
it
is
to
save
resources,
your
resources,
you
know
and
streamline
things
as
much
as
possible.
So
and
we
appreciate
this
a
lot
and
we're
only
five
minutes.
Ten
minutes
late.
J
J
C
A
The
next
item
is
an
in-house
item
to
review
the
2022
Bill
Thomas
Park,
volunteer
award
process
and
our
potential
awardee
so
I
guess
we
can
pick
it
over
to
Melissa
and
and
the
review
team
to
see
if
they
can
provide
us.
A
quick
summary.
B
Yes,
so
we
met-
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion,
but
between
the
three
viable
candidates
that
were
given
to
us,
which
was
Beth,
Kaiser,
Patrice
Stewarts
and
the
friends
of
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
B
Oh
we're
wonderful
lots
of
good
work
there,
but
we
did
agree
that
Beth
Kaiser
was
the
nominee
from
our
and
do
remind
us
who
love
the
people.
Who
are
that?
So?
Yes,
are
we
at
all
and
on
the
committee
was
Bill
Browning
who's,
a
former
winner
of
the
award
Jennifer
Soules
who's,
a
parks
department,
member
who
fights
invasives
and
I.
Don't
know
her
real
title.
Oh.
B
As
well
as
committee
members,
Alex
and
Nelson's.
B
C
B
B
So
we
thought
were
more
Community
focused
we're
focused
like
building
Community
versus
having
events
both
are
useful,
but
some
of
them
are
more
long-standing
sustainable
that
we
built
that
that's
application
really
represented
that,
as
well
as
the
locality
to
Arlington
land,
as
we
know
that
some
of
them,
such
as
the
friends
of
Mount,
Vernon
Trail,
sometimes
on
National
Parkland,
so
it's
in
Alexandria,
so
Arlington
focused,
but
still
very
marital,
so
any
other
thoughts
more
discussion.
Last
video.
D
She
thought
that
we
should
consider
creating
a
second
category
and
separating
out
applications
for
individuals,
basically
to
comparing
the
two
white
Fair,
which
is
either
one
and
that
the
future
we
might
want
to
because
I'm
sure
there
are
reasons
I
mean
there
are
only
three
viable
applications.
I,
don't
know
that
that's
something
in
the
past
years
or
not.
It
may
be
that
adding
another
category
if
you
want
to
get
two
or
three
applications
a
year,
isn't
really
great
idea,
but
it
was
something
achieved
for
that.
B
B
D
C
B
A
So
one
thing
I
remember:
when
the
award
I
guess
guidelines
were
reshuffled,
reimagined
I.
Remember
the
former
commissioner
David
Hill
took
that
that
on
and
he
worked
alongside
I
believe
I
forgot,
who
it
was
within
our
commission
at
the
time
to
come
up
with
opportunities
for
in
which
that
review
process
could
either
be
streamlined
or,
if
there's
other
considerations
that
can
be
undertaken.
So
that
might
be
something
that
that
this
commission
can
pursue
within
the
coming
year.
So
that
way
prior
to
you
know
recognizing
a
winner
for
2023.
A
There
may
be
some
new
considerations
implemented
as
part
of
the
review
process.
I.
C
B
That
might
be
a
feeder
pool,
for
you
know
future
applicants,
and
it
might
be
pretty
nice
for
her
to
be
able
to
recruit
more
volunteers.
If
we
could,
you
know,
give
them
a
little
recognition.
C
C
D
Call
you
working
worthwhile
if
we
had
that
information
be
able
to
go
back
a
few
years
and
see
how
many
applicants
we
had
say
over
the
last
five
years,
because
again,
if
we're
only
looking
at
you
know
two
or
so
a
year
and
we're
creating
another
category,
maybe
just
you
know
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
That's.
B
B
B
D
A
We
do
yes,
so
Vice,
chair
Barker.
If
you
can
move.
C
C
B
B
A
D
B
A
All
right,
no
additional.
A
Report
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
just
wanted
to
say
related
to
this
2022
Bill
Thomas
award
is,
we
are
still
working
on
getting
the
in-person
reception
finalized,
hopefully
for
the
October
recess,
County
board
meeting,
so
that
is
actually
a
week
prior
to
our
meeting,
which
would
be
the
week
after
that.
A
So
that
reception
would
happen
after
that
meeting
and
then
we
would
meet
again
as
a
commission,
but
that
would
be
a
virtual
only
meeting,
it's
our
third
one
of
the
I
guess
of
the
year,
so
that
one
will
meet
virtually
for
that.
But
then
the
in-person
reception
would
happen
a
week
prior
to
that
yeah.
A
D
B
A
A
We
will
reach
out
to
our
com
staff
so
that
they
aren't
aware
of
who
the
award
winner
is,
but
also
the
the
winners
from
the
last
two
years,
actually
so
that
their
friends
and
families
can
also
attend
as
well.
A
To
understand
reports,
we
can
move
to
the
commission
number
reports
all.
B
Right
anybody
want
to
particular
from.
C
B
On
the
enerjag,
we
had
a
presentation
from
the
forestry
natural
resources
plan
and
they
accepted
a
large
number
of
our
comments
that
we
wrote
letters
that
wrote
the
letter
about
three.
C
B
Three
times
sorry,
so
that
was
very
gratify
one
more
draft
problem
before
it
goes
to
the
county.
So
we
can
still
comment
if
we
need
to
one
of
the
biggest
points
of
intro.
This
had
to
do
with
what
regarding
deer
management
will
be
in
the
forestry
and
natural
resource
plan,
because
we
still
do
not
have
a
deer
management
recommendation.
B
We
did
get
a
reform
that
they
had
gone
through
most
of
the
comments
and
they
looked
like
barbells,
there's
lots
of
people
in
favor
and
lots
of
people.
Yes,
yes,
so
whatever
we
do,
lots
of
people
are
going
to
be
unhappy.
B
One
of
the
interesting
things
I
thought
is
that
Alonzo
says,
however,
in
our.
B
H
A
document
that
was
from
public
comment
was
just
the
survey
primarily
saying
you
know
how
bad
the
damage
is.
It
wasn't
necessarily
recommendations
yet
right,
there's
no
recommendation
right.
This
is
our
survey.
What
should
we
do
about
it
and
then
the
engagement?
What's
the?
What
should
we
do
without
that?
So
the
the
statement
of
fact
of
drr
I
think
she
even
said
the
biggest
threat
to
Natural
land
in
Arlington,
based
on
the
browse
survey,
is
definitely
going
in
the
plan,
which
is
good.
Yes,.
H
Want
to
ask
if
you
want
to
talk
about
what
David
brought
up
at
energetic,
remember
his
comment
about
potentially
adding
or
recommending
a
new
section
to
the
comp
plan,
the
comprehensive
plan
for
climate
change,
resiliency
and
sustainability.
Oh
David,
Howell
David,
Howell
yeah!
Oh
yes,
do
you
tell
me
vamp
so
I
guess
the
county.
H
Part
of
the
comprehensive
plan
is
up
for
update
in
the
next
like
year
or
so,
and
that
plan
focuses
primarily
on
building
County
buildings
to
be
like
low
energy,
consuming
and
interesting
for,
like
zero
energy
consumption
across
the
county.
But
David
was
kind
of
spitballing
and
brainstorming.
This
idea,
and
for
those
of
you
who
might
not
know
David,
used
to
be
a
member
of.
C
H
Mission
for
a
long
time,
he
phased
out
earlier
this
year
recommending
a
new
either
revitalizing
the
energy
plan
or
adding
a
new
one
that
speaks
to
like
overall
climate
change,
resilience
and
adaptation,
and
not
just
looking
at
reducing
energy
consumption
through
vehicles
and
buildings.
But
thinking
about
like
the
big
picture
of
climate
change,
adaptation
in
the
county.
H
But
I
was
like
that's
what
we
need
a
climate
action
plan
right
and
he
kind
of
put
that
out.
So
it
not
enerjacked
the
natural
resources
for
The
Advisory
Group,
for
those
who
aren't
aware
is
an
advisory
of
composed
of
representatives
from
three
different
commissions,
this
one
forestry
and
natural
resources,
and
then
the
c2e2.
D
H
Yeah
and
so
I
mean
what
they
think
David
was
thinking
is
really
like.
What
is
the
true
intersection
of
everyone
at
energetic
right?
It's
climate
change,
adaptation
and
mitigation,
and
thinking
about
how
we
should
be
shielding
a
company
rather
than
right
now
is
kind
of
in
all
of
these
pieces,
where
we
talk
about
an
unfortunately
natural
resources
and
it's
in
the
energy
plan
and
public
spaces,
but
there's
nothing
that
really
ties
it
all
together,
and
so
his
idea
was.
This
is
just
something
for.
H
To
think
about,
and
as
the
energy
Plan
update
kicks
off
sometime
in
the
next
year
to
start
kind
of
communicating
this
interest
to
staff
at
the
County
border
burden,
I,
don't
know
thinking
about
my
planning,
education,
I
think
the
real
Next
Step
would
be
to
convince
the.
H
This
right,
like
staff,
don't
have
the
authority
to
create
a
new
comp
plan
element.
So
it
would
be
a
writing.
Letters
and
public
comments
at
County
board
meetings
right
like
kind
of
voice
and
support,
and
would
probably
require
more
coordination
across
across
commissions
and
as
well
to
get
that
support
right.
B
Right
right
right
right
right,
but
it's
it's
really
really
Stark.
When
you
look
at
our
county
energy
plan,
I
think
that's
what
it's
called
comprehensive
energy
plan
cep.
It
only
deals
with
energy.
It
doesn't
deal
with
the
entire
picture.
But
if
you
look
at
some
of
our
neighboring
jurisdictions
like
Montgomery
County,
was
it
really
was
comprehensive
climate
action
plan
that
has
all
these
different
elements
so.
D
B
C
B
H
C
C
B
Would
like
to
take
a
personal
privilege
and
recognize
Colt.
This
today
is
his
last
meeting
and
we're
gonna
miss
him.
So
much
I
took
the
liberty
of
contacting
some
of
the
former
chairs
some
other
people,
and
they
have
some
nice
things
to
say
which
I'll
read.
B
Holt
Gregory
has
been
what
I
would
charm
the
perfect
advisory.
Commissioner,
this
is
from
Bill
Ross.
The
last
chair
with
Trudy
said
it's
true
and
recognition
with
specific
areas
of
interest
and
passion,
but
quickly
began
applying
his
intellectual
curiosity
contributions
and
efforts
across
the
broad
spectrum.
Crc
issues
cult
actively
participated
in
the
following
areas,
among
others
always
doing
his
research,
interacting
with
staff
and
as
appropriate,
contributing
crucially
to
PRC
discussions
and
County
Board
letter
authorship,
Alcova
Heights
lots
of
sprcs,
including
National,
Landing,
Jenny,
Dean,
Park,
design
and
construction,
natural
resources
and
Forestry
plan.
B
So
many
times
and
energize
representative,
he
says
cult
made
my
job
much
easier
and
I
appreciate
his
service
and
friendship,
and
then
David
Howell,
who
we
were
just
discussing,
said
thanks
to
Cole
for
his
five
years
of
service
as
a
dedicated
and
knowledgeable
contributor
to
the
PRC.
Mission
he's
made
substantial
contributions,
work
from
representation
of
the
PRC
and
sprcs
to
informed
and
important
expertise
regarding
Urban
nature
and
its
benefits.
I
enjoy
this
collegiality
and
enthusiasm
that
I
have
been
inspired
by
his
knowledge
and
appreciation
of
birds
in
our
religion.
B
Somebody
thanks
you
for
your
contributions
to
the
mission
of
the
PRC,
Community
Arlington,
more
nature,
full
and
biofilling.
So
I
would
just
like
to
add.
Not
only
have
I
known
gold
on
this
commission,
but
he's
a
very
active
member
of
fireman,
which
is
Arlington,
Regional
master
naturalist
and
you
might
have
been
on
the
scene
before
even
Beth,
Kaiser
and
so
and
he's
also
served
in
the
forestry
and
Natural
Resources
Commission.
B
B
D
Very
much
it's
been,
it's
been
a
real
pleasure
to
work
with
a
lot
of
like-minded
people
who
are
interested
in
moving
nature
forward
in
Arlington
through
volunteer
work
through
commission
work
through
analysis.
All
of
the
different
aspects
that
we
have
to
attack
to
save
our
limited
few
square
feet
we
have
left.
B
Okay,
so
we
have
a
few
little
housekeeping
things
left.
We
have
some
letters
to
figure
out.
B
H
B
Is
these
days
all
right
and
then
how
about
the
public
spaces
anybody
else
interested
in?
C
A
B
B
D
We'll
go
back
for
the
use
permit
one.
What,
since
we
do
have
a
little
bit
of
time,
is
that
something
that
maybe
we
should.
D
A
A
D
A
Again-
and
you
know
it
just
to
consider
this
too,
if
there
is
that
by
the
way
by
the
way,
online
feedback
form
was
sent
to
the
commission
about
an
hour
before
the
meeting
began,
and
so
whatever
comes
out
of
that
too.
Maybe
something
to
look
at
as
part
of
a
letter
as
well.
So
that
may
be
something
to
to
think
about.
You
know.
C
B
D
A
B
A
letter
and
then
there's
a
clearing
and
Presbyterian
special
glep
study,
which
I'm
happy
to
serve
on
Ouija
two
people,
so
I'll
be
the
primary
school.
Where
is
this?
This
is
a
Clarendon
priority
in
church
they're,
going
to
put
in
some
senior
housing.
H
H
It
I
skipped
through
their
letter.
I,
didn't
see
anything
about
open
space
in
the
special
glove,
so
I'm
not
sure
that
olvia
human
Focus
yeah
I'm
happy
to
serve
as
the
alternate
if
you'd.
C
B
D
Yeah,
you
all
have
already
thought
about
this,
but
Colt
is
stepping
away
what
are
his
assignments
and
when
do
we
need
to
redistrict
he's
got
a
lot,
but
it's
the
fnrp
was
the
was
the
major
outstanding
piece
but
walked
through
that
whole
thing
and.
C
D
D
C
D
D
D
Because
that's
an
important
piece,
that's
you
know
the
the
gulf.
Branch
restoration
is
going
to
be
an
important
piece
now,
they're,
also
revisiting
Donaldson
in
that
area.
So
they're.
D
Definitely
I
would
recommend
if
you
haven't
gone
through
the
chart
planning
process,
there's
a
couple
of
new
parks
coming
on
and
that's
worth
going
through
an
area
a
park.
That's
in
your
neighborhood!
It's
worth
going
through
that
planning
process
to
hear
about
people
who
want
dog
parks
versus
playgrounds
versus
you
know
of
all
kinds
of
different
uses.
But
if
you
get
a
chance
to
do
that,
it's
a
good
way
to
live.
Look
at
the
Poland
princess.
A
That's
it
well
and
Cedar
Point
Colt
within.
A
Year,
I
think
we're
envisioning
having
quite
a
few
opportunities
for
public
engagement
and
for
a
commission
and
commissioner
involvement,
Within
These
public
space
processes.
So
we've
got
we
just
we've
heard
a
little
bit
about
the
three
Urban
Parks.
That's
one
of
them.
We've
got
Metro
Market
Square,
which
is
starting
off
pretty
soon
as
well.
Gateway
Park,
Arlington
boat
house,
that's
another
one
as
well.
So
there's
a.
C
C
B
Well,
thank
you
guys
so
much
for
having
a
quorum
and
letting
us
vote.
I
was
really
close,
and
so
we'll
lunch
Rudy
know
the
good
news
when
she
comes
back
from
me.
So
if
there's
nothing
else
for
the
give
of
the
cause
for
sure,
okay
thank.
