B
C
D
Thank
you,
Miss
Johnson
good
evening
Commissioners
I'm
Mike
haluski
I'm,
a
real
estate
specialist
with
the
Department
of
Environmental
Services,
here
to
present
a
vacation
of
a
small
portion
of
South
Walter
Reed
Drive.
It's
at
1816
South,
Walter
Reed.
This
is
just
in
front
of
the
Arlington
career
center.
You
may
remember
this.
The
use
permit
and
the
vacation
of
8th
Street
came
before
you
back
in
the
June
meeting.
This
is
one
that
wasn't
quite
ready
for
that
meeting.
It
wasn't
timely
to
be
advertised
for
that
meeting,
but
we're
bringing
it
tonight.
D
So
this
is
a
request
by
Arlington
Public
Schools.
It
will
facilitate
the
construction
of
the
new
Arlington
career
center
that
was
approved
in
June,
as
I
mentioned,
wasn't
sufficient
time
to
advertise
this
for
the
June
meeting.
Originally
this
section
of
South
Walter
Reed
Drive
was
dedicated
in
1923
as
Bingham
Road
and
then
later
renamed,
South,
Fillmore,
Street
and
then
eventually
South
Walter,
Reed
Drive.
D
This
portion
of
South
Walter
Reed
Drive
is
designated
as
a
type
c
arterial
on
the
master
Transportation
plan
that
physically
the
area
is
a
grassy
area
behind
the
back
of
sidewalk,
it's
not
being
used
for
Street,
sidewalk
or
any
utility
purposes,
and
as
part
of
this
project,
we'll
see
in
just
a
moment
there's
an
additional
area
of
Arlington
Public
Schools
land
that
will
be
dedicated
for
public
Street
utilities
purposes.
D
So
here
is
a
plat
of
the
proposed
vacation.
The
vacation
is
a
very
thin
sliver
right
here
at
the
base
of
the
triangle.
It's
it's
just
a
little
under
three
feet:
deep
and
it's
about
88
feet
long,
so
131
square
feet
total-
and
this
section
here
this
is
that
piece
that
bumps
out
into
Walter,
Reed
that'll,
be
the
portion
that
that
is
dedicated
to
the
county.
D
D
E
Yes,
this
was
heard
before
the
Transportation
Commission
last
Thursday
evening.
After
the
stat
presentation,
there
was
no
discussion
and
vote
was
taken.
The
vote
was
unanimous
with
a
finding
that
the
to
recommend
approval
of
the
this
vacation
is
consistent
with
the
master
Transportation
plan.
It's
probably
the
shortest
item.
We've
ever
had.
F
Peterson
I
just
had
a
quick
question,
which
was
that
in
the
report
you
mentioned
that
there
were
no
easements
on
this
land.
There
were
no
utilities,
but
then
in
the
attachment
there
was
a
lot
of
explanation
about
the
app
or
APS.
Would
you
know,
handle
the
utilities,
and
is
that
just
like
legalese
that
has
to
be
there,
because
we
know
that
there
are
no
utilities
there
is
that,
like
in
case,
you
start
digging
things
and
you
find
utilities
that
they
would
have
to.
D
Yes,
that's
correct.
It's
standard
language
in
case
there
are
any
utilities
in
there.
They
would
have
to
relocate
them
before
we
would
perfect
the
vacation,
but
there's
no
indication
that
there's
any
public
utilities
in
the
area.
G
Any
additional
questions,
Jim
David
all.
A
E
I
move
that
the
Planning
Commission
find
that
the
or
the
proposed
ordinance
to
vacate
a
portion
of
South,
Walter,
Reed,
Drive
adjacent
to
Lots,
94
and
95
Arlington
Plateau
being
part
of
the
property
known
as
the
Arlington
career
center
owned
by
the
Arlington
County
School
Board
816,
South,
Walter,
Reed,
Drive,
Arlington,
Virginia,
RPC,
number
25-014-004
and
25-014-010
with
conditions
is
substantially
in
accord
with
the
master
Transportation
plan.
It
is
recommended
to
go
forward
by
the
County
Board.
E
B
H
A
C
Item
number
two
is
zoa-2023-10
fbc-33
and
nfbc-1
9
19.
I'm.
Sorry,
this
is
an
ordinance
to
amend,
reenact
and
re-codify
the
Arlington
County
zoning
ordinance
and
specific
sections
dealing
with
the
Columbia
Pike
neighborhood
special
revitalization
district
form-based
code.
We
have
our
planning
staff
and
Guru
Matt
matusik
to
present
this
item.
I
S,
thank
you.
Madam
Clerk
I
have
a
few
more
slides,
so
I,
don't
think
I'm
going
to
break
any
records
like
the
first
item,
but
mountain
tusak
with
the
planning,
division
and
I
wanted
to
run
through
this
presentation,
which
mirrors
what
you
may
have
read
in
the
staff
report
that
was
distributed
earlier,
and
it
largely
involves
the
relationship
between
ra
zoning
districts
and
special
planning
areas
that
exist
on
our
general
land
use
plan.
I
The
presentation
really
has
four
key
sections
that
mirror
the
chronological
assessment
that
staff
undertook
earlier
this
year,
starting
with
the
Pentagon
City
area
and
then
winding
to
a
county-wide
assessment
of
this
relationship
and
I
want
to
end
with
the
proposed
zoning
ordinance
Amendment
and
walk
you
through
those
changes.
I
So
initially
what
I
wanted
to
start
with
is
just
recent
history
dating
back
to
February
of
last
year,
at
which
point
the
County
Board
adopted
the
Pentagon
City
sector
plan.
At
that
time,
several
zoning
ordinance
amendments
were
also
adopted,
particularly
targeting
the
two
predominant
zoning
districts
in
Pentagon
City,
ra,
615
and
Co
2.5,
to
ensure
that
sites
within
those
boundaries
were
eligible
to
redevelop
per
the
new
sector
plan.
I
Since
that
time,
staff
has
begun
to
consider
several
Redevelopment
applications,
particularly
in
the
western
half
of
that
planning
area,
and
one
of
the
initial
things
that
jumped
out
to
us
was
a
specific
clause
in
that
ra
615
zoning
District.
That
speaks
to
a
specific
height
restriction
that
only
applies
to
Elder
Care
uses
We.
Compare
that
with
the
provisions
that
are
in
the
Pentagon
City
sector
plan,
which
do
not
specify
Heights
by
permitted
uses,
but
rather
just
more
holistically
and
identified
an
inconsistency
that
we
thought
warranted
a
clarification.
I
Similarly,
when
we
looked
at
the
permitted
uses
and
again
focusing
on
the
western
part
of
the
planning
area,
which
is
zoned
ra
615,
you
can
see
here
across
from
West
Post,
formerly
known
as
Pentagon
row.
A
mixed
use
environment
is
envisioned,
surrounded
by
residential
development
in
the
future.
On
that
Western
half
of
the
study
area,
where
both
retail
and
Retail
equivalent
uses,
are
envisioned.
I
I
So,
upon
discovering
this
staff
took
a
step
back
and
assessed
if
this
is
also
the
case
with
the
other
ra
zoning
districts,
so
we
evaluated
the
same
condition
at
a
county-wide
level
and
stepping
away
from
Pentagon
City.
What
we
found
was
that
the
issue
consists
or
pertains
again
to
the
other
ra
zoning
districts.
I
You
can
see
here
the
blank
cells
in
section
6.1,
where
those
retail
uses
are
prohibited,
particularly
the
four
that
are
listed
on
the
screen,
and
what
we
then
wanted
to
see
is
whether
any
of
those
three
zoning
districts
also
correlate
with
special
planning
areas.
That
involved
earlier
planning
efforts
and
may
have
had
additional
guidance,
such
as
a
sector
plan
area
plan
or
revitalization
plan
and
through
a
GIS
analysis.
I
We
discovered
five,
including
the
Pentagon
City
District,
that
have
such
guidance
and
create
a
conflict
and
present
some
ambiguity
that
we'd
like
to
clarify
through
this
amendment.
I
So
when
we
look
at
all
four
or
all
five
of
these,
you
can
see
here
that
certain
districts
I
think
are
more
prevalent
than
others
in
terms
of
that
inconsistency
and
conflicting
guidance,
all
of
which
also
have
a
very
specific
height
restriction
when
it
comes
to
Elder,
Care,
building
Heights.
I
This
is
something
that
actually
stems
from
a
2019
zoning
ordinance
Amendment
at
the
time
Elder
Care
uses
were
being
introduced
throughout
the
county
to
a
number
of
different
zoning
districts
and
in
an
effort
to
address
some
Community
concerns,
staff
included
a
very
specific
provision
for
height
restrictions
that
would
clarify
zoning
or
that
building
Heights,
regardless
of
use,
would
have
a
consistent
height
maximum.
So
the
numbers
that
you
see
here,
the
60
foot,
75
foot,
90,
foot,
95
and
70
foot
maximum
reflect
what's
already
restricted
for
multi-family
projects
in
those
zoning
districts.
I
So
simply
by
introducing
elder
care
to
those
zoning
districts,
we
are
not
increasing
the
permitted
Building
height.
They
would
all
have
the
same
limit
if
you
will
so
part
of
the
assessment
in
front
of
us
was
to
verify
if
those
five
special
planning
areas
did
in
fact
have
additional
guidance
related
to
those
Heights
and
we
did
find
in
each
case
there
was
not
only
additional
height
guidance
but
also
permitted
uses
that
were
broader
than
that
table
in
6.1.
This
applies
to
the
Fort
Myer
Heights
North
plan
from
2008.
I
It
also
applies
to
the
Green
Valley
Village
Center
action
plan
for
me
knock
from
2004,
as
well
as
both
form-based
codes
along
Columbia
Pike,
the
commercial
one
established
in
2003,
and
also
the
neighborhoods
Farm
based
code
in
2013.,
all
of
which
have
taller
Building
height
permissions
and
a
broader
permitted
use
table
compared
to
what's
permitted
for
our
resorting
districts.
I
So
the
proposed
amendment
targets
really
three
categories:
I'll
go
through
those
quickly
again
initially,
starting
with
the
re
zoning
districts.
The
two
Clauses
that
are
impacted
involve
the
permitted
uses
and
also
District
youth
standards.
Where,
if
you
saw
the
staff
report,
we
have
a
exemption,
that's
being
introduced
that
relates
back
to
those
special
planning
areas
and
it
is
unique,
depending
on
the
zoning
District,
not
all
have
the
same
relationship.
I
In
addition,
we
also
are
using
this
opportunity
to
revisit
section
9.6
that
was
created
last
year
and
clarifying
further
that,
in
addition
to
building
Heights
and
densities,
the
land
use
mix
itself
should
be
something
that
the
County
Board
considers
when
assessing
the
appropriateness
of
site
plans
submitted
through
that
new
sector
plan,
because
we
are
dealing
with
a
mixed-use
environment,
that's
envisioned
on
a
otherwise
residential
part
of
the
plan
area.
We
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
was
a
reasonable
density
restriction
for
commercial
densities
that
previously
did
not
exist.
I
So
you'll
see
that
in
the
proposed
text,
language
and
finally,
just
highlighting
the
permitted
uses
that
are
already
represented
in
the
retail
map
found
in
the
sector
plan
and
then
finally,
this
is
a
a
additional
element
that
I
think
meets
the
theme
of
what
we're
discussing.
We
are
adding
Elder
Care
use
category
into
both
form-based
codes
along
Columbia
Pike.
This
was
actually
intended
back
in
2019
when
we
added
elder
care
to
all
the
other
zoning
districts,
but
unfortunately,
unintentionally
omitted
this
language
from
that
staff
report.
I
Finally,
from
our
review
process
perspective,
we
visited
the
zoning
committee
earlier
this
year
in
June
that
same
month
we
held
a
conversation
with
the
Crystal
and
Pentagon
City's
Council
and
advertise
the
changes
at
the
July
hearing
of
the
County
Board.
I
So
with
that,
just
wanted
to
highlight
our
recommendation
that
the
County
Board
amend,
reenact
and
recodify
section
6.2,
6.3,
6.4,
6.5
9.6
appendix
a
and
appendix
B
of
the
Arlington
County
zoning
ordinance
to
clarify
permitted
uses
maximum
commercial
densities
and
maximum
building
Heights
for
buildings,
with
elder
care
uses
for
properties
redeveloping
within
the
Columbia
Pike
special
revitalization
district
Columbia,
Pike,
neighborhoods,
special
revitalization
district
Fort,
Myer,
Heights
North,
special
district
Green
Valley,
Village,
Center,
special
revitalization
district
and
the
Pentagon
City
coordinated,
Redevelopment
District.
I
A
J
Not
much
thank
you
Matt
for
the
great
presentation.
The
zoko
committee
was
very
comfortable
with
this
change.
B
Yeah
so
I
had
a
quick
question
about
the
actual
text
that,
as
it
appears
in
the
sap
report,
in
section
6.2,
6.3
and
6.4
Pentagon
City
isn't
explicitly
mentioned,
is.
Is
there
a
reason
for
that?
It
has
all
of
the
other
ones
in
some
capacity,
but
Pentagon
City
is
doesn't
show
up
until
section
6.5
in
the
proposed
amendment.
I
I
So
ra
615
is
I,
think
impacted
by
all
five.
However,
the
other
zoning
districts
have
less
frequencies
of
those
situations
where
they
happen
to
exist
in
areas
that
were
previously
planned.
So
if
you
go
from
6.2
6.3,
6.4
and
6.5,
that
list
will
vary
depending
on
the
level
of
overlap
between
the
special
planning
areas
and
the
Arizona
District
Lots.
I
F
Thank
you.
It's
one
of
the
community's
concerns
was
safety
for
Senior
Living
Spaces
in
the
really
tall
higher
buildings
and
the
fire
department
had
said.
No,
it's
not
an
issue
because
for
senior
living
facilities
we
have
different
design
standards
to
keep
them
safe
because
we
know
evacuation
might
be
slower.
So
does
that
mean
for
a
building
that
was
not
built
for
a
senior
living
facility
in
the
future
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
have
an
Adaptive
reuse
and
let
that
space
be
used
for
a
senior
living
space.
I
It's
a
great
question:
it's
one
that
we've
since
the
July
request
to
advertise
discuss
with
our
foreign
Marshal
and
building
code
officials.
It
really
stems
from
the
way
in
which
those
buildings
are
designed,
and
typically
that
represents
a
much
higher
standard
compared
to
multi-family.
I
In
generally
speaking,
if
we're
starting
with
a
blank
slate,
that
decision
is
made
early
on
and
the
construction,
typology
and
level
of
evacuation
I
think
is
very
different.
If
we're
going
down
the
path
of
what
you
just
described,
which
is
more
of
an
Adaptive
reuse,
that
just
becomes
a
much
more
expensive
Endeavor
if
you
were
otherwise
trying
to
adapt
from
more
similar
uses,
rather
than
going
to
something
that
has
a
much
higher
threshold
and
that
kind
of
just
stems
from
the
evacuation
strategies
wider.
I
You
know
stairwells
being
able
to
kind
of
stay
in
place
until
you
know
the
fire
department
shows
up
there's
a
lot
of
different
areas
in
which
buildings
like
that
become
very
costly,
and
they
are
basically
held
to
a
different
standard,
but
not
one
that
I
think
lives
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
It's
really
in
the
other
codes
that
still
apply
whenever
buildings
like
that
are
proposed,
so.
F
If
we
want
more
senior
living,
it
has
to
be
done
at
the
beginning
when
we're
we're
doing
the
building
in
the
first
place.
So
thank.
K
K
I
So
we
did
visit
with
the
Crystal
and
Pentagon
City's
Council
I,
think
that's
the
CP
CC
acronym
and
they
did
not
have
any
issues
other
than
to
highlight
I.
Think
the
safety
element
of
solar
buildings
that
accommodate
these
uses,
the
former
School
advisory
working
group
I
believe
in
the
last
year
may
have
gotten
a
verbal
reminder
that
this
was
in
the
works
but
because
it
was
so
Technical
and
because
I
think
it
highlighted
a
process
that
took
place
in
2019
but
really
is
addressing
a
technical
Mission
from
that
report.

Clerk
item
number
three
is
a
site
plan
to
facilitate
construction
of
a
new
10-story
hotel
and
a
new
11
story:
multi-family
residential
building
with
ground
floor
retail
at
3200
Wilson
Boulevard
known
as
Bingham
Center.
We
have
Courtney
Badger
our
planning
staff
to
present
this
item
this
evening.
Thank
you.
M
M
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
construct
two
new
buildings,
a
hotel
on
the
Northern
portion
of
the
block
and
a
mixed
use,
residential
building
on
the
southern
portion
of
the
block.
The
hotel
is
proposed
to
be
10
stories
in
height
with
229
rooms,
a
penthouse
amenity
space
and
a
ground
floor
Cafe,
the
residential
building
is
proposed
to
be
11
stories
with
290
units
and
ground
for
retail.
Both
buildings
will
be
parked
with
the
new
underground
parking
garage.
The
hotel
will
be
parked
at
a
0.35
parking
ratio
in
the
residential
at
a
0.7
parking
ratio.
M
The
there's
also
a
proposed
vacation
with
this
request,
and
you
can
see
part
of
the
vacation
shown
on
the
screen
here.
This
is
a
close-up
of
the
northern
portion,
and
then
this
is
the
southern
portion.
This
is
a
vacation
of
a
public
Alley
between
Wilson
and
10th
Street
North,
a
few
things
to
know
about
the
site
layout.
M
In
conjunction
with
the
Joyce
Motors
project
that
was
approved
earlier
this
year,
the
applicant
will
be
constructing
a
new
10th
Road
North
that
connects
Wilson,
Boulevard
and
North
Irving
Street,
and
also
a
new
alley
that
runs
north
and
south
that
provides
access
to
the
parking
and
loading
additionally
North
Irving
Street
terminates
prior
to
reaching
Washington
Boulevard.
This
is
part
of
the
current
condition
of
the
site.
North
Irving
Street
was
closed
off
during
the
County's
Clarendon
Circle
renovation.
M
The
subject
site
is
subject
to
the
2022
updates
to
the
Clarendon
sector
plan.
The
majority
of
the
sector
plan
guidance
is
codified
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
I
pulled
out
a
key,
a
few
key
guidelines
from
the
sector
plan
that
are
applicable
to
this
site
that
I'll
run
through
fairly
quickly.
For
the
sake
of
time.
First,
the
sector
plan
identifies
two
building
step
backs
on
Wilson
Boulevard
they're
shown
in
purple
here
and
circled
in
red
on
the
map.
M
The
purpose
of
these
step
backs
are
to
ensure
that
the
buildings
have
a
pedestrian
scale
and
that
they're
contextually
appropriate
to
the
adjacent
structures,
in
this
case
North
Side
social,
which
is
across
the
street.
The
applicant
is
proposing
a
deviation
from
the
location
and
the
depth
of
the
step
backs
a
call
for
in
the
sector
plan
on
the
Northern
building.
They
are
proposing
a
triangular
carve
out
into
the
building
and
on
the
southern
building,
they're,
proposing
a
step
back
along
the
whole
Frontage
instead
of
just
at
the
corner.
M
The
proposed
step
backs
are
not
in
the
exact
locations
called
for
in
the
sector
plan,
and
the
step
back
on
the
residential
building
is
not
quite
as
deep
as
what's
called
for
in
the
sector
plan.
However,
staff
feels
that
the
proposed
setbacks
are
meeting
the
spirit
and
intent
of
what
the
sector
plan
is
trying
to
achieve.
M
Finally,
the
sector
plan
identifies
service
functions
and
loading
to
occur
on
the
new
10th
Road
in
the
new
service
alley
kind
of
consolidating
the
service
and
loading
functions
onto
a
t-shaped
spine.
If
you
would
on
that,
the
new
streets
being
proposed-
and
this
is
where
we
saw
the
most
project
Evolution
on
the
left-
you'll
see
what
the
applicant
was
originally
proposing.
They
were
going
to
locate
the
loading
for
the
hotel
on
North
Irving
Street.
M
It's
identified
with
the
Red
Blocks
and
pushed
kind
of
the
back
of
house
uses
onto
North
Irving,
resulting
in
some
limited
transparency
adjacent
to
the
Future
Irving
Plaza.
The
applicant
has,
since
revised
their
ground
floor
plan
for
the
hotel
and
to
locate
the
loading
on
10th
Road
North
and
has
agreed
to
have
transparent
Windows
into
the
kitchen,
providing
transparency
into
what
could
be
a
unique
experience
for
pedestrians
and
people
in
the
plaza
to
have
this
type
of
activation
along
that
public
space
for
the
resulting
facades
for
North
Irving
Street.
M
The
original
submission
is
on
the
top
and
the
current
submission
on
the
bottom.
You
can
see
on
the
the
very
right
hand.
Side
which
is
north
is
the
entrance
in
and
out
of
the
ground
floor
Cafe
and
as
you
move
to
the
left
and
moving
more
south
along
the
facade,
the
yellow
box
are
now
transparent,
Windows
the
ground
floor
windows
will
go
into
the
working
kitchen,
you'll
be
able
to
see
in
and
out
of
that,
and
then
the
area
boxed
out
and
read
is
the
area
that's
conditioned
and
required
to
have
a
decorative
treatment.
M
Finally,
this
project
is
earning
density
through
providing
Community
benefits,
including
participation
in
the
Green
Building
incentive
program.
At
the
0.35
far
level,
they
will
also
be
providing
15
on-site
committed,
affordable
units,
five,
one
bedrooms
and
ten
two
bedrooms.
There
will
be
available
at
the
60
Ami
level.
The
applicant
will
also
be
funding
the
public
design
process
for
the
future
Irving
Street
and
will
be
constructing
what
comes
out
of
that
Community
process.
M
H
H
This
case
is
a
long
time
coming.
This
application
was
filed
before
the
sector
plan
was
updated
during
covid.
The
consolidation
began
many
many
years
ago
and
sort
of
slowly
occurred
next
slide
and
you're
familiar
with
the
site.
I'm
sure
it's
a
Silver,
Diner
sign
it's
a
triangle,
a
giant
triangle:
that's
been
carved
into
more
triangles,
so
our
particular
site
is
essentially
two
triangles
that
carved
a
rectangle
out
for
the
choice
motor
site
that
you've
seen
maybe
six
seven
months
ago,
but
the
site
it
presents
challenges.
H
Any
triangle
does,
and
particularly
this
site,
I
want
to
get
through
those
in
just
a
minute.
Why
don't
we
go
to
the
next
slide?
You
can
see
for
yourselves
I'm
sure,
you're
familiar
with
the
site,
but
the
site
is
really
kind
of
from
1950s
Suburbia
lots
of
asphalt,
lots
of
curb
Cuts,
poor
sidewalks,
a
few
Street
trees
street
lights.
The
urban
experience
we
expect
here
in
Arlington
is
not
there
right
now,
but
we
hope
to
transform
this
site
to
a
really
exciting
gateway
to
Clarendon
next
slide.
H
So
here's
some
details,
Courtney
lets
you
in
on
most
of
them,
229
Hotel
units,
0.34
parking,
11
story,
multi-family
residential
290
units,
0.7
parking
about
16,
000
square
feet
of
retail
and
I
alluded
to
this
earlier,
with
the
fact
that
the
site
has
no
sidewalk,
it
really
doesn't
have
the
land
area
to
provide
for
the
things
that
are
appropriate
in
a
place
like
Arlington
right
now,
so
approximately
38
of
our
site
is
being
given
over
to
things
like
widening
Wilson
Boulevard,
providing
wider
streetscape
of
Street
trees,
a
new
10th
Road
North,
a
new
alley
around
the
whole
periphery
of
the
site.
H
More
than
a
third
of
the
site
is
turned
over
or
given
over
to
provide
those
public
amenities
which
presents
additional
challenges
just
because
it's
a
fairly
tight
site
next
slide
you're
familiar
with
this
as
well.
This
is
your
sector
plan
that
you
updated
a
couple
years
ago,
we're
meeting
these
requirements
next
slide
at
the
taper
on
10th
Street,
as
you
know,
goes
from
75
to
110
we're
respecting
that
here's
a
little
bit
of
our
ground
on
floor
Courtney
mentioned
our
loading
dock,
which
we
moved.
We
spent
many
many
months
talking
about
that.
H
The
hotel
is
not
just
a
hotel
to
business
and
it
needs
to
be
filled
up
every
day
and
people
get
reviews
and
all
that,
so
how
it
operates
is
really
critically
important
to
the
access
to
the
success
of
the
site.
So
we
did
spend
a
lot
of
time,
but
it
was
a
pleasure
to
work
with
staff
and
to
resolve
these
issues.
H
I
think
Courtney
Badger,
Rob,
Gibson
and
also
Mike
coluski
for
working
with
us
and
the
sprc
as
well
to
come
up
with
solutions
that
we
think
work
both
for
us
as
a
developer
and
an
owner
and
operator
and
for
the
community.
You
can
see
sixteen
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
on
the
residential
building,
so
it's
quite
I
think
we'll
create
a
quite
Rich
pedestrian
experience.
Landscaping
we've
got
a
lot
of
trees
got
a
lot
of
Green
Space.
H
We've
worked
extremely
hard
to
get
to
15
tree
canopy
and
every
crack
and
Corner
in
this
place
that
can
support
a
tree
has
one
now,
but
we
think
it
makes
for
a
very
nice
biophilic
design
and
quite
good
experience
for
folks
who
live
and
walk
in
the
area.
Next
slide,
let's
get
into
the
architecture
just
a
bit
as
you
can
see.
H
This
is
a
bird's
eye
view,
you're
kind
of
on
a
balloon
above
North
Side
social,
the
multi-family,
Residential
Building,
is
to
the
right
predominantly
masonry
lots
of
detail,
lots
of
intricate
brick
work,
Rich,
colors,
Rich,
texture,
kind
of
a
feeling,
almost
of
post-industrial,
maybe
but
we're
quite
happy
with
the
design.
We
hope
you
feel
the
same
way.
We
got
many
good
comments
during
the
process
from
Neighbors
Civic
groups
and
the
like
on
the
left
is
the
hotel.
As
you
can
see,
it's
a
close-up
of
the
hotel.
H
We
have
some
metal
panels
and
metal
banding,
that's
copper,
color.
It
may
not
be
copper,
but
it
will
be
metal.
Two
colors
of
masonry
to
set
off
these
sites
ground
floor
with
the
amenities
you'd
expect
in
a
hotel
such
as
you
know,
restaurants,
public
spaces,
meeting
rooms
and
the
likes.
H
This
is
hovering
above
10th
Street.
Looking
down,
you
can
see
the
taper
I
described.
75
95
110
Green
areas,
Terraces
roofs
and
the
like
next
slide.
This
is
from
the
point
10th
Street,
on
your
right
and
Wilson
on
your
left.
We
think
it
makes
a
bold,
strong
statement
here
at
the
corner
and
we're
very
excited
about
the
architecture
next
slide.
H
The
site
is
very
sustainable
and
Lead
friendly,
we're
going
for
lead
gold
at
0.35
level.
We
can
go
into
details.
We
have
our
sustainability
consultant
on
the
phone
as
well
next
slide.
Community
benefits.
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
real
critical
aspects
of
this
you're:
getting
a
new
Irving
Street
Park
Irving,
Street
Plaza,
which
will
be
developed
as
part
of
this
project
contemporaneously.
We
won't
be
waiting
around
for
years
and
years.
H
We're
going
to
be
wadding
that
substantially
we're
also
going
to
be
putting
in
Street
trees,
street
lights,
landscaped
areas
and
really
dramatically
improving
the
other
side
of
Wilsonville
Wilson
Boulevard
in
addition
to
our
own.
And
lastly,
we
just
think
a
hotel
is
going
to
be
a
great
addition
to
the
community
to
the
Clarendon
area
and
we're
extremely
excited
about
it.
So
we'd
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
and
thank
you
for
your
attention.
A
Maybe
you
can
unmute
yourself,
so
we
can
hear
from
you,
okay,
okay,
here
we
go.
Okay,.
N
Right,
thank
you.
The
4.1
submissions
landscape

does
not
describe
the
ground
covers
and
perennials
that
the
applicant
will
install
to
allow
the
public
to
make
informed

comments.
The
applicant
needs
to
add
this
information
to
the
four
foot,
one
submission
before
the
county
board's
meeting
on
the

plan.
N
The

must
contain
the
species
numbers
and
locations
of
all
such
plantings,
the
numbers
perhaps
not,
but
the
species
and
the
locations
I've
requested
this
repeatedly
during
the
site
plan
review
process
from
the
very
beginning,
but
the
applicant
has
refused
to
provide
it
to
comply
with
the
county
board's
2016
Monarch
pledge
the
applicants.
The
plantage
must
contain
plants
that
support
pollinatives,
especially
common
milkweed.
This
is
the
asepia
syriaca.
This
is
necessary.
N
This
is
the
only
plant
in
which
monarch
butterflies
prefer
to
lay
eggs
in
which
the
lives
in
noelica's,
Natural,
Area
tree
trenches,
logic,
Ledges
and
the
green
roof
should
contain
common
milkweed
to
increase
biofilia,
which
this
building
really
lacks.
Native
lines
should
lack,
hang
from
the
roofs,
fines
and
Ledges
and
balconies.
It
should
also
climb
on
trellises
from
the
ground
and
from
Ledges.
The
project
will
contain
a
park
at
the
end
of
North
Irving
Street.
N
Please
recommend
that
the
Planning
Commission
review
you
and
the
County
board
approved
dpr's,
preferred
use
and
designed
for
this
public
space.
This
will
provide
a
public
use
of
dpr's
plans
which,
otherwise
you
can
be
certain,
will
not
occur.
Dpr
typically.
Does
these
landscape
plans
made
children's
Recreation
Commission,
but
they
can't
make
a
decision
only
the
County
Board
can.
This
is
the
fate
of
this
project
of
that
public
space?
It
needs
to
come
back
to
you
and
to
the
and
to
the
county
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
G
Okay
did
any
commissions
Charlotte
tell
me.
E
All
right,
yes,
this
was
also
heard
for
the
Transportation
Commission
last
Thursday
night
and
to
cut
to
the
chase
it
was.
The
commission
voted
to
approve
it
unanimously
with
one
Amendment
before
I
get
into
the
more
of
the
details,
and
that
amendment
was
to
recommend
a
pedestrian
Crossing
at
the
new
10th
Road
North
across
Wilson
Boulevard.
E
E
There
was
some
discussion
about
the
relatively
High
parking
ratio
of
0.7
for
the
residential
unit,
given
that
there's
a
93
walkability
score
and
it's
near
the
metro
station.
But
the
applicant
gave
reasons
why
this
combination
of
neighborhood
concerns
Market
studies
and
uncertainty
because
of
covid
and
the
impact
on
work
from
home.
For
that
we
raise
construction
issues
with
the
sidewalks
would
remain
open
during
construction,
which
is
a
concern
of
the
neighborhoods
they're.
E
Of
course,
there'll
be
every
effort
made
to
keep
sidewalks
open,
but
no
guarantee
when
the
actual
construction
goes
on
other
than
there
will
be
at
least
one
sidewalk
along
Wilson
Boulevard
on
one
side
of
the
other.
During
the
construct
Construction,
a
question
was
asked
whether
there
would
be
a
bus,
shelter
on
Wilson
Boulevard
for
the
bus
stop
there,
and
the
answer
was
no
for
pedestrians
again.
This
is
where
the
part
of
one
of
the
longest
discussions
was
on.
E
The
need
by
the
commission's
field
felt
that
there
was
a
need
for
a
mid-law
Crossing
there,
and
that's
because
the
lobby
for
this
new
building
for
the
Residential
Building
will
be
on
Wilson
Boulevard
right
across
from
the
new
tents.
Road
North
is
north
side.
Social
there's
also
another
preserved,
building
to
the
west
of
North
Side
social.
That
eventually
will
I
would
presume,
be
something
different
than
a
tire
store
now,
but
they
were
preserved
as
part
of
another
project
in
Clarendon.
E
They
will
be
magnets
for
people
from
both
the
apartment
building
and
from
the
hotel,
and
people
will
be
Crossing
that
street
and
having
them
walk
all
the
way
to
the
end
of
the
block
and
then
doubling
back
to
get
Northside
Social
is
not
the
way
people
are
going
to
move.
This
is
a
desire
line
with
us,
the
recommendation
to
have
a
a
Crossing
there.
Otherwise
the
project
was
very
well
received
by
the
Transportation
Commission
and
that
pretty
much
summarizes
it.
Thank
you
thank.
A
You
any
other
commissions
that
are
speaking
on
this
okay,
I'm
gonna
go
to
commissioner
sarley,
who
headed
this
project.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Don't
have
much
to
add
other
than
the
report
that
I
sent
out
the
other
day.
I
think
I
want
to
highlight
staffs
participation
in
this.
They
were
very
instrumental
in
working
with
the
applicant
to
get
the
project
to
the
result
that
it
is
other
than
that
I
think
I'll.
Let
my
colleagues
ask
questions
and
we'll
go
from
there.
A
Thank
you,
so
any
questions
over
overall
any
questions
from
anyone.
There's
been
a
lot
of
movement
on
this
project
and
a
lot
of
good
progress,
I
think,
is
what
we
all
understand.
Any
any
I
have
something
why
don't
I
start?
Okay.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation.
Thank
you
for
a
lovely
project.
A
I
will
say
that
what
often
is
heard
by
this
Planning
Commission
in
particular,
is
the
concern
around
affordability
and
the
number
of
affordable
dwelling
units
that
are
available
on
site
I
want
to
First,
commend
you
and
your
project.
That's
actually
brought
on-site
committed,
affordable
housing,
that's
available.
A
We
haven't
seen
that
in
the
last
couple
of
projects
and-
and
this
particular
commission
has
voiced
a
lot
of
concern,
particularly
in
places
that
are
very
Transit
rich,
like
this
particular
project,
I
will
also
say:
aesthetically,
it's
a
really
beautiful
project
and
and
the
the
changes
that
have
been
made
through
the
iterations
of
this
project
have
been
really
wonderful
and
I
appreciate.
You
know:
you're,
taking
the
community
input
so
seriously,
right
and
and
so
thoughtfully
into
your
process.
I
just
want
to
say
this.
A
One
thing
I
think
that
you
guys
have
really
done
more
than
most
on
the
affordable
housing
issue
and
I
commend
you
for
the
15
units
that
you've
put
on
at
this
site.
One
thing
I
want
to
say
is
we
have
8
000
renter
households
in
the
county
and
at
30
and
below,
and
only
sixteen
hundred
units
affordable
at
that
level.
So
I
I
really
do
appreciate.
I,
don't
want
you
to
take
this,
as
you
know,
as
as
a
lack
of
appreciation
for
the
15
at
60.
A
You
know
the
Arlington
Community
Foundation
has
this
remarkable
shared
Prosperity
initiative
in
which
they
are
sounding
the
alarm
for
affordability
in
our
in
our
community
at
the
30
level
and
are
directing
that
10
of
projects
come
in
at
the
30
level,
and
so
that
would
be
29
units
here
we
don't
have
any
at
that
level,
and
certainly
it
is
a
shared
goal
that
needs
to
be
attained
by
government
and
Private
Industry
I
just
wish
that
we
would
start
to
see
more
at
that
level,
and
particularly
at
such
a
beautiful
site,
and
you
know,
irrespective
of
whether
it
was
beautiful
or
not
the
opportunities
that
lie
at
a
location
like
this,
for
families
that
would
need
the
amenities
I
would
like
to
see
some
more
of
that,
so
that
that's
my
only
comment.
A
I
think
for
this
entire
project
is
the
affordable
housing
concern
for
me,
commission
tell
me.
E
I
want
to
add
one
point:
yeah
I
concur
with
the
chair.
Patel's
comments
there.
This
is
a
great
project,
I'm
very
enthusiastic
about
it.
Having
lived
in
that
neighborhood
for
a
long
time
and
watched
Clara
didn't
evolve.
This
is
like
filling
in
the
last
areas
that
desperately
need
Redevelopment,
and
this
is
a
fantastic
project
which
is
on
the
corner
of
one
of
the
ugliest
intersections
left
in
the
in
the
Boston
Frozen
Carter,
so
you're
definitely
moving
in
the
right
directions.
E
I
note
that,
for
my
fellow
Commissioners
that
the
parking
on
this
is
It's
one,
it's
a
one
garage
shared
by
the
two
buildings.
So
there's
flexibility
there
as
we
learn
more
about
what
the
needs
are
to
go
back
and
forth,
but
even
beyond
that
people
know,
you
might
note
that
there's
two
triangles
there's
also
that
rectangle,
which
is
the
Joyce
motor
site,
which
we
have
seen
before
my
understanding,
is
that
there
are
knockout
panels
that
that
garage
in
the
in
that
building
will
be
able
to
be
shared.
With
this.
E
These
buildings,
which
I
think
again
helps
with
the
flexibility,
helps
us
that
we
don't
have
to
have
the
weirdness
of
hope
somebody
driving
from
one
garage
to
another
because
they're
using
different
buildings,
different
retailers,
so
all
around
this
fits
many
of
our
long-term
desires
and
goals.
For
that
particular
thing.
So
again,
I
want
to
commend
you
and
call
everybody's
attention
to
this
feature
of
it.
E
I
also
want
to
reiterate
that
if
you
decide
you
don't
need
as
much
parking,
you
have
plenty
of
opportunity
to
reduce
it,
save
yourself
an
extra
level.
If
you
don't
want
to
build
it,
we're
fine
with
that.
So
you
know
that
too,
anyway,
again,
the
architecture.
This
is
excellent
architecture.
This
is
a
really
sophisticated.
Looking
building.
Thank
you.
E
Mr
Warden
I
also
feel
that,
given
you
know,
some
people
might
be
concerned
that
it's
a
lot
of
hype
right
against
Wilson
Boulevard,
remember
across
the
street,
those
buildings
are
preserved
and
that
Dominion
substation
is
not
going
anywhere.
This
will
by
no
means
ever
look
like
a
canyon
it.
It
is
exactly
a
great
place
to
have
height
because
of
what's
not
going
to
be
across
the
street.
There
so
all
around
I
think
that
you've
done
a
wonderful
job
here
and
clearly
I'm
very
enthusiastic
about
it.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
You,
commissioner,
gearen
commissioner
Peterson
commissioner
Guevara
commissioner
Burkey,
and
then
commissioner
Schreiner
so
I
hope
you
all
remember
the.
L
Order,
thank
you
so
I'm
going
to
stick
with
the
comments
on
housing
and
also
I,
do
think
this
looks
beautiful,
I.
Think
it's
really
a
testament
staff
did
a
great
job.
Applicant
did
a
great
job.
Rsprc
chair
did
a
great
job
coming
up
with
something
that
sort
of
it's
a
very
constrained
site.
My
only
question
is
the
staff
report
talks
about
two-bedroom
units
being
family
units
and
that's
a
bit
of
a
change
for
me.
L
Full
disclosure
I
used
to
be
an
affordable
housing
coordinator,
I,
always
think
of
family
units
as
being
a
little
bit
larger.
So
this
isn't
really
to
the
applicant
at
all,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
have
this
discussion
about
family
units
and
the
county,
we're
definitely
looking
at
at
least
three
bedroom
units
thanks
Peterson.
F
I
wanted
to
Echo
that
I
had
the
same
question
when
we
were
looking
at
the
Pentagon
City
sector
plan.
The
plan
specifically
calls
out
three
bedroom
units
as
part
of
like
the
family-sized
unit.
You
know
desire
for
the
plan.
So
obviously
this
is
not
Pentagon
City,
but
I
think
we
do
like
seeing
the
larger
size
units
as
well.
I
speak
as
a
family
of
five
living
in
a
two-bedroom
plus
Den.
F
So
we
we
treat
it
like
a
three
bedroom,
but
it's
a
tight
fit
and
we
make
it
work
and
we
love
where
we
live.
But
you
know
we
definitely
need
that
extra
Dent
as
a
family
of
five
I
did
have
a
question
about
architecture.
Should
I
ask
that
thank
you.
F
So
we
are
looking
for
pedestrian
scale
and
yet
the
step
back
is
at
the
fifth
floor,
which
I
don't
tend
to
think
of
as
being
pedestrian
scale.
So
if
staff
can
kind
of
speak
to
what
their
standard
for
pedestrian
scale
is
I'd
appreciate
that
thank
you.
M
Yeah,
let
me
pull
up
the
rendering
again.
So,
when
we
evaluated
this,
we
took
into
account
the
context
of
where
it
was
so.
We
took
into
the
context
the
where
it
was
being
at
a
pedestrian
scale.
M
It
is
at
the
fifth
floor,
which
is
a
floor
above
where
the
sector
plan
calls
for
it
to
be
the
that
there
also
are
canopies
at
the
ground
floor
level
that
provide
a
pedestrian
scale,
that
we
felt
like
kind
of
satisfied
that
requirement,
and
then
the
application
applicant
and
their
justification
for
having
the
setback
not
just
at
the
corner
but
spanning
the
whole
facade
was
to
allow
them
to
get
more
units.
M
Residential
units
in
the
building
which
we
felt
like
was
a
compelling
argument
to
kind
of
allow
for
that
reduced
setback
at
the
higher
level.
So
that's
kind
of
some
of
the
considerations
we
took
into
account
when
evaluating
that.
F
O
I
just
want
to
note,
as
my
previous
Commissioners
have
noted,
about
the
affordable
housing
units
I
think
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
something
I
haven't
seen
since
I've
come
on
board,
so
I
appreciate
that,
of
course,
I
would
prefer
to
have
three
bedrooms
and
30
MMI,
but
I
think
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
O
Just
a
quick
question
in
terms
of
the
15
tree,
canopy
I,
know
that's
sort
of
the
minimum.
Is
there
a
reason
why
we
didn't
have
more
coverage.
H
Well,
it's
it's
really
a
trade-off
between
the
building,
the
setbacks.
You
want
the
streetscape
you
want
and
the
like,
and
so
I
you.
If
you
had
a
smaller
building.
If
your
building
was
stuck
in
the
middle,
you
know
and
you
had
a
30-foot
sidewalk.
You
could
put
more
trees
in,
but
given
the
streetscape
standards
of
Arlington
County,
it
has
limited
opportunities.
H
We
have
them
on
the
roofs
we
have
them
in
on
every
Street
sidewalk
every
place
you
can
put
a
tree,
we
put
one
and
so
I
guess
technically,
if
you
made
the
building
smaller
and
you
had
a
you
know:
Big
Arc
there
we
were
building
a
park
as
a
matter
of
fact.
We
just
don't
get
credit
for
that.
So,
for
example,
the
plaza
the
park
we're
building
immediately
adjacent
to
the
hotel
is
off-site.
So
we
don't
get
credit
for
planting
those
trees.
H
Wilson
Boulevard
we're
putting
trees
on
the
other
side
of
Wilson
Boulevard
again
off-site
some
of
these
Street
trees
off
site.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
trees.
There's
a
lot
of
Green
Space,
but
the
county
doesn't
count
them
in
their
calculations.
Every
single
one
of
those.
So,
given
what
we
have
now,
I
think
this
is
a
dramatic
Improvement,
dramatic
increase
in
the
number
of
trees,
bushes,
shrubs,
the
whole
nine
yards.
You've
got
a
sea
of
asphalt
right
now
and
every
square
inch
you
can
put
a
tree
on
this
site,
we're
doing
it.
H
I'm
telling
you
I
was
on
a
call
that
lasted
seemed
like
forever
to
try
to
find
a
place
for
one
more
tree,
and
so
we've
worked
very
hard
with
that
and
staff
as
well.
I've
been
very
Cooperative
trying
to
make
as
many
places
as
we
can
find.
But
we've
put
one
pretty
much
everywhere.
You
can
following
the
streetscape
standards
and
the
sector
plan
for
placement
of
the
building.
O
P
Sure,
thank
you.
This
is
a
clarifying
question
for
planning
staff,
another
affordable
housing
question.
So
my
read
of
the
proposal
here
is
a
base
contribution
of
cash
or
approximately
10
on-site,
14
off-site
or
19
a
10
off-site
nearby
or
19
off-site
units
right
plus
the
15
on-site
calves,
for
the
bonus
density.
Is
that
correct
yeah?
That's
correct!
Okay,
great!
P
So
you
know
I'd
associate
myself
with
this
whole
conversation
about
housing
and
thinking
about
chair
Patel's,
comment
with
regards
to
the
income
levels
that
we
have
these
units
at
and
I
will
borrow
a
phrase
from
commissioner.
We
are
to
say
the
following
question
does
not
represent
my
view
of
what
we
should
do,
but
I'm
sort
of
curious.
P
You
know,
I
know
with
regards
to
Barcroft
and
other
developments.
Recently,
we've
talked
about
income
mixing
the
ability
to
use
our
affordable
housing
program
to
get
you
know,
lower
Ami
units
in
exchange
for
some
higher
am
I
units,
and
thinking
about
you
know,
trading
different
policy
goals.
P
M
I
think
that's
a
great
question
and
something
that
I
am
happy
to
take
back
to
our
planning
leadership
when
they
go
through
these
negotiations
to
say:
hey,
we've
we're
hearing
this
from
the
Planning
Commission.
This
is
what
the
community
wants.
Is
there
any
way
to
do
it
so
I'm
happy
to
have
that
conversation
sure.
P
I,
don't
claim
to
be
an
expert
in
this,
but
I
know
enough
to
be
dangerous
and
I
think
that
there
are
certainly
policy
trade-offs
in
that
approach
too.
It's
not
you
know
it's
not
total
win-win,
because
you
also
are
losing
some
60
units
in
exchange
that
policy
choice,
so
I
just
presented
as
something
to
for
us
to
maybe
consider
going
forward
thanks.
B
Let
me
turn
a
little
bit
well.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
praise
another
aspect
of
this
project
that
would
be
the
sort
of
sustainability
side
of
it.
I
noticed
that
there's
on-site,
solar
generation,
very
good
and
and
all
of
it
is
in
compliance
with
the
dark
sky
measures
as
well,
which
is
also
a
great
thing
in
terms
of
light
pollution
and
15
of
those
spots,
are
EV
accessible,
also,
very
good.
B
So
moving
on
to
my
question-
and
this
is
for
both-
what
is
the
plan?
Could
you
elaborate
more
on
the
plan
for
the
Irving
Plaza
and
and
are
there
any
plans
for
Irving
Street?
B
That's
a
road
I've
gone
down
many
a
Time
on
accident,
just
to
find
out
that
it's
a
dead
end
and
I
would
love
to
know.
If
there's
anything
in
the
works
for
that.
M
So
I
can
start
off
so
Irving
Street
is
envisioned
to
kind
of
be
not
go
as
close
to
Washington
Boulevard,
if
it
as
it
does
now.
If
that
makes
sense,
and
it
will
turn
to
the
east
to
connect
into
the
other
segment
of
10th
road
that
is
part
of
the
Verizon
site
plan
project.
That's
still
under
review
the
for
the
plaza
that's
in
between
the
Terminus
of
Irving,
Street
and
Washington
Boulevard,
there's
a
condition
as
part
of
this
project
that
the
developer
will
fund
the
community
engagement
process.
M
M
Some
designs
they'll
go
to
the
County
Board
to
get
approval
of
the
design,
and
then
the
timing
has
been
structured
as
such
that
they
will
include
that
design
into
their
civil
engineering
plans
and
their
landscape
plans
so
that
when
the
hotel
is
being
constructed,
they
will
also
be
constructing
the
Plaza,
sir,
so
that
it's
kind
of
the
vision
that
it
will
be
a
community
process.
But
it
will
be
delivered
alongside
this
hotel
and
funded
and
constructed
by
the
developer.
B
M
So
there's
going
to
be
a
portion,
that's
like
right
of
way!
Now
it's
like
road
now,
so
it's
still
all
going
to
be
County
owned,
but
it's
going
to
be
turned
into
a
plaza
and
what
that
looks
like
if
it's
grass,
if
it's
Hardscape,
it's
unsure,
because
they'll
go
through
that
Community
process.
Okay,.
H
I
could
just
add
as
well,
so
the
notion
is
that
we
wanted
to
deliver
the
park.
You
know
a
lot
of
things
are
planned.
They're
talked
about
for
years
and
years.
We
really
wanted
to
make
sure
the
park
was
delivered
in
a
timely
fashion,
both
for
the
community
but
frankly
for
ourselves
for
the
developer,
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
construction
during
the
operation
or
the
opening
of
the
hotel,
and
so
we're
very
excited
about
this.
H
This
will
be
it's
not
huge,
but
it'll
be
quite
nice,
so
we
hope
it'll
be
quite
nice
and
just
be
another
amenity
in
other
community
benefit
associated
with
this
project.
Yeah.
B
Absolutely
absolutely
I
really
like
that.
Second,
my
second
question
is
related
to
The
mid-block
Crossing
on
Wilson,
between
10th
and
Washington.
Is
the
county
or
the
developer,
opposed
in
any
way
to
that
Crossing?
Are
there
any
sort
of
hurdles
towards
making
that
a
reality.
Q
Thank
you,
Robert
Gibson,
Arlington,
County,
Des
Transportation.
So
throughout
the
process,
we've
really
tried
to
ensure
that
there's
a
set
of
Desire
lines
that
can
be
fulfilled
not
just
put
in
the
crosswalk
in
at
the
location.
Q
B
L
So
this
is
a
little
bit
off
these
direct
comments
and
I
I
see
on
page
34.
We
make
reference
to
the
equity
principles,
I'm
wondering
if
we
want
to
start
thinking
about
making
reference
to
the
biophilic
principles
adopted
at
the
same
time,
and
that's
in
part
because
one
reason
we
brought
this
forward
when
we
did
as
for
the
county
to
join
this
network
was
there
is
a
focus
on
canopy
trees
and
sometimes
we
can't
get
all
those
trees
on
site,
but
the
overall
the
impetus
for
this.
L
The
reason
for
this
is
to
bring
nature
to
these
sites.
If
we
focused
more
on
what
can
we
get
on
the
site
and
how
we
might
do
that,
it
might,
it
might
be.
Hoover
saw
because
I
think
it
could
be
more
win-win-win.
We
don't
have
maybe
15
canopy
trees
is
all
you
can
get
on
the
site.
But
maybe,
if
you
looked
at
it
in
terms
of
we
can
get
a
few
understory
trees,
we
can
get
some
Vines.
L
We
can
maybe
have
a
trellis
that
goes
along
the
side
of
the
building
and
animate
that
or
make
that
green
and
a
lovely
way
for
residents
who
don't
have
backyards
to
maybe
see
the
change
of
the
seasons.
I
think
it
helps
us
all
shift
towards
I
think
what
the
original
purpose
was
with
a
lot
of
the
street
canopy.
Obviously,
trees
provide
a
lot
of
this
green
infrastructure
that
supports
our
agent
gray
infrastructure,
but
so
do
these
other
things,
and
this
also
gets
it
Mr
Burns
repeated
comments
in
all
of
our
site
plans.
L
I
think
it
I
think
this
could
also
help
us
highlight
the
work
that
our
natural
resources
team
and
our
Urban
Foresters
do.
I
know
they
look
at
those
final
Landscaping
plans
to
make
sure
that
we
do
not
have
anything
invasive
in
there
and
and
they
look
to
see
what
trees
can
be
kept
in.
Are
there
creative
ways
we
might
try
to
retain
a
tree
so
I'm
wondering
if
sort
of
daylighting
that
in
the
in
the
staff
report,
would
be
a
way
to
kind
of
shift
that
focus
on
tree
canopy
more
towards
where
we're
going.
A
L
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
want
to
follow
up
with
commissioner
strainer's
mid-block
Crossing
and
why
we're
not
doing
it
now
and-
and
my
concern
here-
is
that
proverbial
Paths
of
Desire
will
happen
as
soon
as
that
place
is
open
and
I.
You
know
I'm
just
nervous
about
the
safety
of
The
Pedestrian
Crossing
through
the
mid
block,
which,
inevitably
it
will
happen
so
I
guess.
The
question
is:
why
delay.
Q
Right
now,
Des
has
not
evaluated
that
there
is
that
desire
line
to
put
in
that
piece
of
infrastructure,
so
we
are
recommending
that
it
be
supported
in
the
design
so
that
it
can
be
put
in
when
that
desire
line
does
occur.
I
understand
your
comment
and
we
can
take
that
back
internally.
Thank
you.
G
R
Yeah,
it
seems
like
it
was
three
to
four
years
ago
when
bvsca's
executive
committee
was
brought
in
to
see
the
idea
of
this,
and
it's
really
exciting
to
be
sitting
here
now
and
seeing
it
at
this
level.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
iterations
and
reaching
to
the
community,
and
things
like
that
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
on
commissioner
gearen
and
I
know
that
we
don't
have
to
at
this
point
require
a
full
plan
of
green
biophilia,
plantings
or
whatever,
but
just
to
Dr
Burns
ongoing
concern
about
the
monarch,
butterflies
we
assume
is.
R
S
Thank
you,
I'll
Echo,
some
of
my
colleagues
who
have
addressed
the
the
timing
of
the
mid-block
crossing
I
appreciate
that
staff
is
looking
for
a
way
to
put
that
in
place.
S
I
guess
my
concern
is
that
by
the
time
we're
seeing
the
desired
line
in
place,
people
are
already
making
an
unsafe,
Crossing
and
I'm
not
sure
how
fast
we're
kind
of
gonna
see
that
happen
and
I
think
that
you
know
I
I
would
recommend
looking
again
and
kind
of
echoing
what
commissioner
Starley
was
saying,
looking
at
doing
that
sooner
rather
than
later,
because
it
certainly
seems
like
something
that
is
going
to
be
happening
in
my
view
sooner
rather
than
later,
and
then,
with
the
conversation
earlier
with
regards
to
the
on-site,
affordable
units,
again
very
appreciative
with
the
applicant
moving
in
this
direction
and
putting
a
sizable
amount
of
units
number
of
units.
S
The
makeup
of
the
units
I
think
more
bedrooms
is
better,
but
I
appreciate
the
applicant
moving
taking
that
approach.
Kind
of
you
know
at
the
outset,
and
that's
really
something
that
we've
our
have
as
a
constant
refrain
with
the
applicants
that
we
had
before
us
and
something
that
we
will.
You
will
continue
to
hear
from
us.
You
know,
should
you
decide
to
come
back
for
another
project,
so
thank
you
for
for
doing
that.
S
I
would
like
to
you
know,
as
commissioner
Burkey
said,
I
think
you
know
looking
at
what
we
might
be
able
to
do
with
County
resources
to
get
us
to.
You
know
there
are
trade-offs,
but
to
get
us
to
some
of
the
different,
affordable
percentages.
S
Percent
of
affordability
that
we
talked
about
is
worth
considering
as
from
a
policy
standpoint,
because
if
we're
seeing
that
the
need
is
all
the
way
down
at
the
30
percent
of
Ami,
then
coming
in
at
60,
Ami
is
still
leaving
a
sizable
Gap,
so
something
to
think
about,
and
then
you
know
just
one
last
plug
for
you
know
there
were
any
ways
to
get
units
that
were
more
than
a
two
bedroom
as
kind
of
the
largest
size
in
some
of
those
calves.
S
It
would
be
met
with
great
appreciation
by
this
body
and
I'm
sure
by
the
County
board.
So
thank
you.
F
One
final
question:
please:
during
the
sprcs
there
was
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
potential
garage
connection
between
this
site
and
Joyce
Motors
to
reduce
the
curb
cuts
and
improve
pedestrian
safety.
I
still
I
see
that
that
is
still
a
possible
connection
and
I
wanted
to
know
like
where
are
we?
Are
we
likely
to
get
that?
When
is
that
going
to
get
resolved,
because
as
much
as
we
can
approve
pedestrian
safety?
That
would
be
fantastic.
H
So
I
I
think
it's
difficult
to
say
when
those
things
will
occur.
First
off
you
have
market
conditions.
The
market
is
not
great
for
financing
and
interest
rates
and
all
that
and
so
I
guess
we
don't
want
to
have
a
building,
that's
orphaned,
you
open
a
building
and
then
the
other
half
doesn't
come
along
or
it
comes
along
later.
So
we
plan
for
that
Synergy
for
that
connected
use,
but
we
can't
open
just
one
side
with
the
expectation
or
the
you
know,
only
one
point
access,
so
our
hope
is
that
will
happen
in
the
future.
H
F
J
I'll
just
make
a
really
quick
associate
myself
with
commissioner
tenley's
Kudos
and
I
would
encourage
staff
to
always
be
looking
for
these
and
the
applicant
to
always
be
looking
for
these
connections.
I
think
you
know,
saving
the
square
footage
on
a
ramp
and
and
double
duting.
It
is
just
absolutely
brilliant
and
you
know,
given
the
real
estate
value
around
here,
that's
not
lost
on
anyone.
Thank
you.
A
J
Move
that
the
Planning
Commission

do
I
need
to
say
anything
about
the

have

Okay

Yes,
I
I
move
that
the

add
the
following
language
to
the
staff
motion
to
the
end
of
this
motion
and
add,
as
part
of
this
project,
a
pedestrian
Crossing
at
the
intersection
of
Wilson
Boulevard
and
the
new
10th
Road
North.
G
E
Yeah,
it's
for
all
the
reasons
that
I
discussed
and
actually
my
fellow
Commissioners
have
also
raised
and
as
Mr
Gibson
had
responded
to.
Okay.
A
Yes,
first
the
amendment
so,
commissioner
Bagley
Peterson.
A
Aye
Robertson
aye
Patel
the
motion.
The
amendment
carries
12
to
zero.
Now
the
motion
as
amended:
okay,
Bagley
hi,
Erin,
aye,
Steinberger,
aye,
Weir
aye
and
tell
me.
A
A
C
You
and
I
need
to
read
this
deferral
before
on
the
agenda
before
Matt.
Does
his
presentation
so
item
number?
Four.
This
item
has
been
deferred
to
the
October
PC
hearings.
The
Planning
Commission
will
not
discuss
vote
nor
provide
recommendations
at
this
time.
This
was
a
new
site
plan
to
construct
a
four-story
assisted
living
facility
operated
by
Sunrise
Senior
Living,
located
at
716
South
Lee
Road.
There
was
a
rezoning
and
a
site
plan.
Matt
Pfeiffer
will
present
a
deferral
report
for
this
item.
T
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
My
name
is
Matt
Pfeiffer
with
planning
division.
So
this
item
was
advertised
for
the
planning
commission's
agenda,
and
so
it
is
on
the
planning
commission's
agenda.
After
the
advertisement
of
the
Planning
Commission
notice,
we
were
informed
by
the
applicant
that
they
had
record.
They
were
requesting
deferral
to
the
October
meeting.
T
We
were
able
to
pull
the
ad
from
the
County
Board
advertisement.
Therefore,
while

be
joined
as

Rather
than

I
may
be
asking
some

help
out

sharing
some
of
those

hearing
any
objection
