Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
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).
A
People
who
have
joined
virtually
and
I'd
like
to
say
that
if
you
are
in
person-
and
you
are
logged
into
the
meeting
through
a
mobile
device
or
another
device,
if
you
can
just
mute
your
devices,
please,
because
we
get
echoes
in
the
room,
my
name
is
Bridget
obicoya
and
I
am
the
staff
liaison
for
the
Transportation
Commission,
and
this
meeting
is
being
recorded
before
we
start
within
the
agenda
items.
Are
there
any
comments
on
anything
not
related
to
the
agenda?
B
Good
evening
and
my
apologies
for
not
being
there
with
you
in
person,
I
was
unexpectedly
tested
positive
for
covet
earlier
today.
So
plans
had
to
change
quickly.
I
asked
commissioner
Bros
to
please
handle
the
management
of
the
meeting
for
me,
because
I
think
that
would
be
very
challenging.
B
Virtually
I
would
be
at
the
mercy
of
the
cameraman
to
be
showing
me
who's
got
their
their
hands
up,
and
all
of
that
sort
of
thing
so
I
will
defer
to
commissioner
Bros
to
guide
the
conversation
as
to
which
Commissioners
are
speaking
and
all
that
sort
of
thing,
but
with
that
said,
I
think
we're
ready
to
move
into
the
first
item.
B
B
C
Foreign
hi
everybody,
my
name,
is
modby
Shukla
I
am
on
the
development
team
of
jbg
Smith
I'm
joined
by
our
traffic
engineer,
Felice
brikta
from
gross
Slade
and
our
land
use,
Council,
Matt,
Ted,
Whitmore
and
Matt
gideman
who's,
a
colleague
at
jbg
Smith
as
well.
C
Tonight
we're
going
to
provide
a
project
overview,
a
transportation
overview
and
discuss
some
of
the
transportation
improvements
as
it
relates
to
our
site
and
before
we
do
that,
I
want
to
reorient
everybody
to
where
this
site
is
located.
So
the
future
buildings
are
boxed
here
in
blue
at
the
corner
of
23rd,
Street
and
Crystal
Drive,
and
this
site
plan
is
going
to
help
evolve
the
residential
offerings
in
Crystal
City,
as
well
as
balance
some
of
the
office
quantity
on
Crystal
Drive
foreign.
C
There
is
a
vacant
office
building
that
was
built
in
the
60s
that
sits
on
the
site.
Overall,
this
flight
is
sloped
at
different
grades,
which
has
made
for
some
challenging
pedestrian
connections.
Our
project
will
be
built
at
grade
and
we'll
hope
to
activate
the
retail
along
Crystal
Drive
and
create
a
more
welcoming
and
friendly
pedestrian
experience.
C
And
to
do
that,
I
will
walk
you
through
how
our
site
plan
is
going
to
accomplish
this.
So
from
left
to
right,
you
have
the
L-shaped
223
23rd
Street,
building
with
8
000
square
feet
of
open
space
in
front
of
it.
As
you
move
East
you
run
into
our
north
south
connection,
which
is
the
curbless
street,
designed
to
direct
loading
and
parking
entries
off
of
23rd
Street
and
Crystal
Drive,
and
reduce
some
of
the
congestion
that
you
would
experience
on
those
streets.
Further
east.
C
In
addition,
having
a
bike
friendly
design
has
also
been
important
to
us,
and
our
project
will
introduce
1600
new
linear
feet
of
byte,
protected
bike,
Lanes
to
Crystal,
Drive
and
23rd
Street,
and
we're
accomplishing
this
through
1.1
million
square
feet
across
both
projects.
A
combined
nearly
over
1400
new
residential
units,
we're
going
to
be
targeting
a
0.3
parking
ratio
and
utilizing
parking
off-site
to
minimize
the
impact
of
the
parking
garage.
C
And
our
223
23rd
Street
building
was
designed
by
FX
base
out
of
New
York
I.
Do
want
to
note
that
we
had
two
different
design
Architects
on
one
site
plan
and
the
goal
was
to
introduce
two
different
styles
of
building
to
the
block
and
introduce
a
diversity
of
design
in
the
architecture
and
2250
was
then
designed
by
SCB
based
out
of
Chicago
and
with
that
I
will
hand
it
over
over
to
Felice
to
cover
our
neighborhood
Transportation
overview.
D
Thanks
modby
I
think
I
was
just
going
to
walk
through
the
transportation
overview,
as
mavi
mentioned
this
just
kind
of
shows
some
of
the
the
the
neighborhood
amenities
and
things
we
looked
at
in
the
multimodal
transportation
assessment
again
just
to
kind
of
reorient
everyone
with
the
site's
location,
we're
in
Crystal
City
about
0.4
miles
from
the
Crystal
City
metro
station
and
the
VRE
station.
D
So
as
far
as
Transit
facilities
just
to
dive
into
that
a
little
bit
deeper,
there
are
about
10
bus
stops
located
within
a
quarter
mile
radius.
The
site
is
served
by
about
seven
bus
routes,
including
Metro
way.
There
are
actually
a
couple
of
improvements.
We're
making
to
the
bus
stops
located
on
23rd
Street,
so
we
can
take
a
closer
look
at
those
on
a
later
slide
again.
D
Crystal
City
metro
station
and
the
bre
are
both
just
a
couple
blocks
to
the
north
about
0.4
miles
from
the
site:
pedestrian
facilities,
as
Bobby
mentioned,
that
was
a
focus
of
the
site
design
already
in
a
well-connected
pedestrian
Network.
D
The
streetscape
and
plans
for
the
site
are
just
in
further
enhancing
the
The
Pedestrian
experience
in
the
area,
creating
new
new
pedestrian
connections
within
the
site.
It's
not
mentioned
here,
but
there's
also
a
new
mid-block
pedestrian
Crossing
proposed
on
23rd
Street
and
the
site
already
has
a
Walker's
Paradise
walk
score
of
91.
D
And
then,
as
far
as
bicycle
facilities,
again
we'll
we've
got
a
couple
more
slides
to
dive
into
these
details,
but
there
are
already
existing
bike
Lanes
or
shared
Lanes
already
along
South
Eid
Street,
Crystal,
Drive,
Clark,
Bell
and
18th
Street.
In
the
area
there
are
five
Capital
Bike
Share
stations
located
nearby,
and
then
there
are
a
number
of
bike
improvements
that
are
identified
in
the
2022
proposed
Crystal,
City,
bike,
Network
and
then
on.
D
The
next
slide
is
where
we
get
into
a
little
bit
more
of
the
details,
so
you
can
start
to
see
where
these
bike,
the
new
protected
bike
lanes,
are
located.
So
as
as
noted
here,
we've
got
new
bike
Lanes
both
southbound
along
Crystal
Drive
and
then
both
East
and
Westbound,
on
23rd
Street.
So
we
do
achieve
that
roughly
1600
feet
of
new
protected
bike
Lanes.
D
It's
also
important
to
note
that
there's
a
couple
of
ground
level
bike
rooms,
one
in
each
building,
so
that's
a
nice
amenity.
You
can
roll
right
in
at
the
at
the
ground
level
and
then
there
are
also
additional
bike
rooms
located
on
the
G2
and
the
G3
levels
of
the
parking
garage
and
then
they're
also
short-term
bike
spaces
located
around
the
site
as
well.
D
Something
to
talk
about
for
a
moment
about
the
vehicular
parking.
Again,
we
looked
at
the
off-street
parking
guidelines
as
we
were.
Looking
at
the
parking
for
the
site,
there
is
a
0.3
space
per
unit
ratio
for
the
residential
parking.
D
The
guidelines
also
call
for
0.05
space
per
unit,
visitor
parking
ratio
for
the
first
200
units,
so
that's
being
achieved
by
providing
243
parking
spaces
on
site
on
the
Plaza
block
and
then
another
200
spaces
across
the
street.
At
the
parks
block
and
the
the
image
on
the
right
shows
the
walking
walking
routes
to
get
to
the
entrance
into
the
Parks
Building,
where
you
can
access
the
parking
garage,
and
so
we
are
within
the
800
feet.
D
So
for
the
multimodal
transportation
assessment
we
scooped
it
with
with
the
county
we
looked
at
18
intersections
around
the
site.
We
did
find
the
need
for
two
for
mitigations
at
two
intersections
that
were
able
to
just
required
signal
timing
adjustments
and
then
the
project
impacts
were
mitigated
through
implementation
of
the
site,
design
elements,
improvements
identified
during
staff
review
and
sprc
process,
one
of
which
was
even
after
the
mmta.
Looking
at
the
narrowing
the
garage
access
on
the
east
side
of
Crystal
Drive
into
the
parks
garage.
D
D
And
then
you're,
probably
all
familiar
with
the
transportation
management
plan
elements,
but
those
typically
include
participation
in
funding,
so
the
usual
designated
PTC
ATP
membership
facilities
and
improvements,
promotion,
services
and
policies
and
then
performance
after
the
site
is
up
and
running.
D
And
then
we'll
dive
a
little
bit
more
into
some
of
the
transportation
improvements
showing
some
renderings
and
some
images.
So
this
this
image
on
the
left
shows
the
existing
23rd
Street
section
today.
So
you
can
see
here
it's
a
pretty
wide
section
with
you
know
a
number
of
lanes
at
the
wide
Center
median
and
then
additional
westbound
Lanes
on
the
on
the
far
right
side
of
the
image.
The
image
on
the
right
shows
the
proposed
alignment,
so
you
can
see
it
really.
D
D
So
this
shows
a
little
bit
more
detail
of
the
23rd
Street.
You
can
see
here
the
eight
foot,
clear,
Zone
adjacent
to
the
building,
six
foot
amenity,
Zone,
the
five
foot
protected
bike
lane
and
then
the
median
adjacent
to
that
between
the
the
bike
lane
and
the
travel
Lanes.
D
D
And
then
this
shows
the
north
south
connection
that
might
be
spoke
about
a
little
bit
earlier,
we'll
get
into
another
image
just
following
this
one.
That
shows
a
little
bit
more
about
circulation,
but
this
shows
a
nice
rendering
of
of
how
that
that
noise,
soft
connection
will
look
forward
to
that
yeah,
and
then
this
and
then
this
shows
how
the
site
circulation
on
that
North
Health
connection
will
will
look
as
well.
D
So
things
to
note
here
include
the
loading
for
each
of
the
buildings
are
located
off
of
this
north-south
connection,
to
bring
those
off
of
23rd
Street
and
Crystal
Drive
internal
to
this
connection,
there's
one
garage
entrance
that
serves
both
buildings
located
just
north
of
the
loading
going
into
22.50.
That
garage
entrance
as
I
said,
serves
both
223
23rd
and
2250
Crystal
Drive,
and
you
can
also
access
the
garage
that
goes
underneath
both
of
these
buildings
from
the
existing
Crystal
Drive
garage
access
as
well.
D
This
also
shows
it
shows
those
entrances
to
the
bike
to
the
at
grade
bike
parking
rooms
and
then
up
at
the
very
Northern
end.
You
can
see
there's
kind
of
a
turnaround
for
some
short-term
parking
and
then
that
that
leg
will
provide
a
future
connection
over
to
Clark
Bell
Street.
D
D
D
And
then
this
final
image
just
shows
that
the
transportation
improvements
kind
of
a
just,
a
summary
of
some
of
the
ones
that
we
talked
about
again.
The
north
south
connection,
with
the
flesh
curb
that
we
just
spoke
about
a
few
minutes
ago.
D
The
East-West
pedestrian
connection,
just
north
of
the
2250
building,
again
bubbles
number
three
down
in
23rd
Street,
show
the
location
of
the
improved
bus
stops
located
on
23rd
Street,
which
should
be
the
floating
floating
bus,
stop
Islands,
just
under
number
three,
it's
not
really
identified,
but
you
can
see
the
mid
block
Crossing
there.
That's
that's
located
just
west
of
the
north
south
connection
bubble.
D
Number
four
shows
the
the
protected
bike:
Lanes
provided
along
23rd
Street,
protected
bike,
Lanes
southbound
along
Crystal
Drive,
the
two
intersection
two
protected
bike
intersections
at
23rd
and
Crystal
and
23rd
and
South
Clark,
and
then
again
it
didn't
talk
about
it
too.
Much,
but
again,
something
we
heard
during
sprc
was
narrow.
The
the
potential
for
narrowing
up
the
driveway
into
the
existing
Parks
garage,
which
today
is
very
wide
and
kind
of
has
a
median
in
the
middle
and
kind
of
splays
out.
D
F
Thank
you
good
evening.
My
name
is
Joanne
Gabor
with
Arlington
County
Des
and
I
have
Betsy
Herbst,
my
colleague
with
real
estate
Bureau
with
me
tonight,
presenting
on
Crystal
Plaza
5..
We
have
a
site
plan,
a
block
plan,
a
rezoning,
a
couple
site
plan
amendments
and
a
vacation
that
are
all
necessary
in
support
of
this
proposed
site
plan.
F
This
does
show
you
the
permanent
Arlington
numbers,
if
folks
want
to
see
what
the
specifics
are
on
this
project.
But
again
we
are
rezoning
approximately
100
000
square
feet
from
Co
to
CEO
Crystal
City.
We
are
adopting
a
Block
M
Crystal
City
Block
plan,
we're
amending
site
plan
11,
which
is
the
plaza
block
to
remove
the
one
thousand
hundred
thousand
square
feet
of
area
and
we're
doing
modifications
to
reduce
parking.
We
are
approving
a
new
site
plan
site
plan
464
to
construct
the
two
residential
buildings.
F
We
are
amending
site
plan
167,
which
is
the
parks
block
to
modify
parking
and
allow
off-site
parking.
We
have
some
vacations
of
portions
of
Street
utilities
and
sidewalk
and
utility
easements
and
then
in
December
of
2022.
So
last
month
there
was
a
site
plan
amendment
to
amend,
site
plan,
454,
which
is
the
Crystal
City
pdsp
to
revise
density
and
use
allocations.
And
again
those
are
all
the
items
that
are
necessary
to
be
approved
for
support
of
this
site
plan.
F
Again,
this
site
is
located
in
Crystal
City.
It
is
within
the
Crystal
City
sector
plan,
specifically
the
Block
M
area.
Block
M
is
bound
by
Richmond
Highway
on
the
West
23rd
Street
to
the
South
Crystal
Drive
to
the
East
and
20th
Street
to
the
north.
At
Crystal.
Plaza
5
is
in
the
Southeast
corner
of
this
block
and
then
site
plan
167,
which
is
the
location
of
proposed
off-site
parking,
is
located
east
of
Crystal
Drive.
As
shown
on
this
slide.
F
The
development
proposal,
as
noted
by
the
applicant,
is
two
residential
Towers,
approximately
1400
units
with
0.3
parking
ratio,
two
separate
Open
Spaces,
a
connection
to
the
Crystal
City
Underground.
That
is
a
pedestrian
connection,
the
north-south
connection,
which
does
not
connect
anywhere
else
at
this
point,
but
it
does
provide
the
access
for
parking
and
loading
for
both
buildings
and
then
a
redesigned
23rd
Street
South,
the
Crystal
City
sector
plan
does
provide
us
guidance
on
23rd,
Street
and
Crystal
Drive.
This
shows
you
their
proposed
guidance
from
the
sector
plan.
F
It
is
a
type
B
typology
as
well
for
future
Clark,
Bell
Street,
which
is
adjacent
to
the
site
on
the
west.
We
also
have
guidance
on
sidewalks.
This
sidewalk
guidance
is
the
15
to
18
foot
commercial,
to
mix,
Street
width,
and
we
do
have
the
definition
of
sidewalk
clear
Zone
here.
If
anyone
is
interested,
we
also
have
guidance
on
the
street
Network
and
the
parking
and
loading
access.
The
north-south
connection
again
is
proposed
between
the
two
buildings.
F
F
The
transportation
elements
as
proposed
are
consistent
with
the
Crystal
City
sector
plan
and
the
Crystal
City
bike,
Network
guidance.
There
is
the
redesigned
23rd
Street
and
Crystal
Drive,
there's
a
14
and
a
half
foot
streetscape
on
23rd
Street
and
18-foot
total
streetscape
on
Crystal
Drive,
Again,
The,
Pedestrian
connection
to
the
underground.
The
north-south
connection
for
accessing
parking
and
loading.
Additionally,
as
proposed
with
this
site
plan,
is
the
applicant
will
be
entering
into
an
agreement
to
construct
entering
into
agreement
with
the
county.
F
The
parking
is
a
0.3
parking
spaces
per
residential
unit.
This
is
the
lowest
minimum
allowed
per
the
parking
guidelines
for
market
share
units,
15
Max
compact
parking
spaces.
This
will
be
located
in
a
new
underground
parking
garage
that
is
going
to
be
constructed
below
the
site.
There
will
also
be
off-site
parking
located
in
the
crystal
parks
office,
complex
and
the
Crystal
Plaza
parking
garage.
F
F
There
are
six
total
loading
spaces
provided
three
per
building
and
the
zoning
ordinance
does
require
a
total
of
11
spaces,
and
then
there
are
579
class
1
bicycle
parking
provided
within
the
buildings
that
does
meet
the
minimum
per
our
site
plan
conditions
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
parking.
The
crystal
parks
parking
ratio,
which
is
again
the
area
to
the
east
of
Crystal
Drive,
is
going
to
be
reduced
from
one
space
622
square
feet,
GFA
to
one
space
to
734
square
feet
of
GFA.
F
This
is
the
commercial
office
ratio
in
the
Crystal
Plaza
parking
ratio,
which
is
all
the
area
outside
of
the
Crystal
Plaza
5
in
the
Crystal
Plaza
One
locations
within
the
Crystal
Plaza
parking
garage,
the
commercial
retail
space
ratio
actually
will
be
improved
from
one
space
for
1
820
square
feet
to
one
space
to
1
690
square
feet.
The
existing
ratios
for
residential
and
office
are
going
to
be
maintained
for
the
rest
of
the
block,
including
220
20th
Street
and
2221
South
Clark
Street.
F
The
only
difference
is
some
of
the
parking
will
be
allocated
to
the
crystal
Parks
block.
The
intent
of
this
sharing
is
to
provide
maximum
sharing
between
all
the
uses
and
the
garages.
So
while
we
have
specified
approximately
how
many
spaces
We
Believe
will
be
allocated
to
the
blocks
that
will
be
dynamic
and
managed
by
the
applicant
as
they
are
the
owner
of
both
garages.
F
F
Other
proposed
features
are
this
is
going
to
be
lead
gold
certified
and
they
are
participating.
The
Green
Building
incentive
program
there
are
going
to
be
35
calves
at
River,
House,
a
4.7
million
dollar,
a
half
contribution,
and
as
mentioned,
the
applicant
is
going
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
the
county
to
construct
a
23rd
Street
improvements,
and
if
that,
for
whatever
reason
doesn't
materialize,
a
3.5
million
dollar
contribution
will
be
provided
to
the
county
for
work
within
the
Crystal
City
Pentagon
City
area.
F
The
proposed
zoning
modifications
required
are
for
parking
ratio,
loading,
spaces
density
exclusions
from
GFA.
They
are
asking
for
6.68
far
additional
density
and
Tower
separation
for
the
West
Tower
in
terms
of
public
review.
This
did
start
with
an
lrpc
process.
There
was
one
engagement
and
then
one
virtual
lrpc
meeting,
and
then
we
went
to
the
sprc
process.
F
Specific
commissions
that
will
be
attended
or
have
been
already
attended
is
the
c2e2
Commission
in
October
Housing,
Commission
and
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
in
November.
We
are
here
at
Transportation
Commission
tonight.
This
will
be
heard,
a
Planning
Commission
on
Monday
night,
and
then
it
will
be
heard
by
the
County
board
at
their
January
meeting
on
the
21st.
F
With
that
staff
supports
the
project
and
recommends
approval
with
the
attached
conditions
for
the
site
plan
and
the
site
plan.
Amendments
and
additionally,
staff
supports
the
proposed
vacations
and
recommends
determination
that
the
proposed
vacations
are
consistent
with
the
master
Transportation
plan.
With
that
staff
is
available
for
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
E
Great,
thank
you.
I
think
I
will
start
the
questioning
with
our
folks
online
chairman,
slat.
B
We
had
a,
unfortunately
a
pretty
short
section
of
the
hybrid
sprc
meeting
devoted
to
Transportation,
due
to
other
pieces
of
sprc,
taking
up
a
lot
of
that
meeting,
but
we
definitely
talked
a
bit
about
the
23rd
Street
redesign,
the
protected
bike
lanes
and
other
improvements
to
23rd,
Street
I
think
there
was
also
a
fair
amount
of
discussion
about
how
this
is
all
going
to
work
together
with
the
what
the
eventual
Redevelopment
of
other
parts
of
the
block
the
block
block
plan.
B
Given
that
this
you
know
new
alley,
north
south
connector
is
not.
You
know,
necessarily
what
the
sector
plan
envisioned
and
that
sort
of
thing,
and
we
talked
a
bit
about
parking
but
yeah.
Those
are
the
kind
of
the
main
pieces
of
the
site
and
I
I.
Think.
My
first
question
here
for
Ms
Gabor
is:
has
anything
changed
as
far
as
the
proposed
23rd
Street
design
since
site
plan
review.
B
All
right
great,
thank
you.
I
will
go
ahead
and
hold
off
for
now.
Then
in
case
other
people
have
questions,
but
I'll
have
some
others
to
jump
back
into
in
a
bit.
E
Great
thank
you
just
to
defer
to
our
online
participants.
Commissioner
Lynn
tell
me
any
questions
for
the
the
staff
or
the
applicant.
G
F
The
intent
is
that,
with
the
agreement
that
the
applicant
would
be
entered
with
the
county
that
the
entirety
of
23rd
Street
from
Crystal
Drive
to
Route,
One
would
be
completed
at
once,
and
it
would
include
the
element
shown
so.
The
protected
bike,
Lanes,
the
median
separation
or
the
striped
area,
with
the
vertical
separation
and
curb
delineators
and
the
specific
travel
lanes
that
you
have
seen.
F
And
Crystal
Drive
there
would
be
the
protected
bike
lane
in
the
southbound
Direction
along
the
project
Frontage,
as
shown
in
the
Crystal
City
bike
Network,
and
the
addition
of
the
narrowing
of
the
garage
entrance
at
the
East
End
of
23rd
Street,
which
will
help
to
minimize
some
of
those
pedestrian
Crossing
distances
and
align.
That
garage
entrance
with
the
newly
redesigned
and
realigned
23rd
Street.
G
Yeah
that
that's
that
that's
wonderful,
it's
a
very
wide
driveway
apron
there,
oh
yeah!
Thank
you.
H
Yeah
I
have
one
question
just
related
to
accommodating
deliveries,
including
ubereats
shared
Mobility,
Uber
or
Lyft
drop
off,
especially
with
the
protected
bike
lane.
Can
you
explain
to
me
how
that
functions
and
how
you've
maybe
estimated
for
for
that
type
of
demand?
Thank
you.
D
Sure
so
yeah
I
think
the
north
south
connection
that
we
showed
with
kind
of
the
circulation
patterns
where
the
loading
access
is
occurring
and
the
garage
access
I
think
that's
really
meant
to
serve
that
type
of
activity.
So
that's
not
occurring
along
23rd
Street
and
along
Crystal,
Drive
that'll
really
all
take
place
on
that
north-south
connection.
C
There
are
some
natural
breaks
that
there
are
going
to
be
planners
on
the
north
south
connection
and
I'll
pull
up
a
rendering,
so
you
all
can
see
it,
but
the
goal
is
so
that
folks
are
not.
You
know,
crowding
the
north-south
connection,
and
rather
using
that
short-term
parking
towards
the
back
of
223rd
Street
instead,
but
I
will
pull
up
a
rendering
that
will
show
that
better.
D
Yeah
I
think
that
I
think
that
is
true,
that
that
definitely
happens.
It
gets
you
to
a
point
and
then
not
kind
of
the
rest
of
the
way
into
where
you
really
need
to
be
I.
Think
with
where
the
lobby
entrance
is
located
and
then
also
where
the
garage
entrance
is
located.
I
think
that
also
kind
of
helps
to
pull
people
into
the
site
so
that
it
doesn't
just
kind
of
end
up
with
you
kind
of
hanging
out
on
crystal
crystal
drive
or
on
23rd
Street
I.
D
Think
that'll
that'll
pull
you
in
more
having
both
of
those
things
kind
of
located
along
that
north-south
connection
and
then,
as
Mommy
was
mentioning
I
think
you
know,
there's
kind
of
a
turnaround
area
up
on
that
that
connection
the
future
connection
over
to
Clark
Bell
Street
provides
an
opportunity
for
turnaround,
so
you're
not
kind
of
just
stuck
stuck
in
that
area.
H
I
J
In
the
current
picture
from
23rd
Street,
was
there
Capital,
Bike
Share
in
the
middle
of
that
the
road
there
is
that
going
to
be
moved
somewhere
because.
C
D
That's
I'm,
sorry
believe
that's
correct
there
yeah
there
was,
there
did
used
to
be
a
bike
share
station
located
there.
Let
me
trying
to
trying
to
think
about
the
I
believe.
There's
one
I
think
it's
already
been
relocated
in
that
area.
I,
don't
remember
exactly
I
could
I
could
find
exactly
where
that
is,
but
yeah
I
think
it's
already
been
relocated,
I
believe
it's
not
there
anymore.
K
I
had
two
quick
questions:
could
one
of
the
points
was
off-site
parking?
Could
you
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
that
and
I
think
that
there
was
some
mention
about
ADA
and
I
was
just
trying
to
figure
out
exactly
how
that
all
worked
together.
D
Sure,
of
course,
so
the
the
for
the
0.3
ratio
for
the
for
the
new,
the
two
new
towers
about
233
I,
think
will
be
located
on
in
the
plaza
block.
So
just
just
below.
So
you
can
just
you
know,
go
downstairs
and
get
to
your
space.
An
additional
200
will
be
located
across
the
street
on
the
Park's
garage.
So
there
was
one
image
in
the
in
the
presentation
that
showed
walking
past
to
get
to
a
couple
of
the
street
level
entrances
into
the
parks
garage.
D
So
then
you
can
get
down
into
the
parking
that
way.
Visitor,
visitor
parking,
the
0.05
spaces
per
unit
for
the
first
200
units
about
10
spaces
will
be
located
on
like
directly
below
the
both
of
the
buildings
within
the
building
footprint
and
then
Ada
spaces
are
also
located
just
below
the
building
as
well
so
yeah.
So
those
are
not
not
office.
K
Great,
thank
you
and
then
just
another
quick
question:
how
many
number
of
Will
there
be
electric
vehicle
charging
on
site
and
how
many.
C
E
Great
thanks,
commissioner
Locker
any
other
questions,
I'll
just
say:
I,
the
the
nice
part
of
the
location
of
this
particular
development
is
the
ability
to
take
advantage
of
all
the
transportation
options
between
the
the
metro
and
the
bicycles
and
the
buses,
and
just
the
proximity
to
the
the
bike
trails
Etc
so
good
to
see
that
you
guys
have
utilizing
those
to
the
best
advantage.
E
Any
other
questions.
Commission,
chairman.
B
Great,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
jump
into
my
other
ones,
so
can
either
the
applicant
or
staff
talk
to
speak
to
why
they're
only
protected
intersection
elements
at
two
of
the
Four
Corners
of
23rd
Street
in
the
project
area.
F
Thank
you.
It
is
something
that
I
know
we
have
heard
before,
and
it
is
something
that
we
are
going
to
continue
to
see
if
it's
something
that
we
can
provide.
What
we
have
found
is
that
those
two
intersections
with
the
design
of
the
geometry
for
the
receiving
area,
so
on
Crystal
Drive,
the
southern
part
of
Crystal
Drive,
south
of
23rd
Street.
F
It
becomes
a
challenge
to
have
those
additional
protective
intersection
elements
and
still
maintain
that
alignment,
and
we
are
having
some
of
the
similar
alignment
challenges
on
the
north
side
of
23rd
at
Clark
Bell
Street.
But
it
is
something
we
are
going
to
continue
to
refine
as
we
go
through
our
final
engineering.
It
is
something
we
are.
We
would
like
to
see
at
all
places
that
we
can
throughout
the
county,
I
mean
it
is
something
we
are
fully
supportive
of
when
it
is
viable.
B
Great
thanks
and
then
I
asked
this
at
sprc,
but
for
the
good
of
the
rest
of
the
commission.
Can
you
speak
to
why
the
protection
for
the
protected
bike
lane
changes
from
being
full
on
curbs
to
that
striped
area
with
the
either
the
bollards
or
the
or
the
curb
stops.
F
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
do
want
to
mention
that
between
both
our
presentations
we
may
have
glossed
over
is
there
is
additional
parking
on
the
street
on
the
north
and
south
side
of
Crystal
Drive,
our
23rd
Street.
Excuse
me,
some
of
that
will
be
pick
up
and
drop
off.
Only
some
of
it
will
be
pick
up
and
drop
off
and
or
short-term
parking
spaces.
F
This
partially
is
due
to
working
with
the
fire
department
to
maintain
fire
access
and
provide
that
parking
in
the
protected
bicycle
facilities
and
maintain
the
aerial
access
requirements
that
the
fire
does
require
and
in
looking
at
that,
what
we
did
find
is
just
the
space
constraints
did
provide
some
of
these
challenges
with
providing
a
full
median
concrete
meeting
that
we'd
like
to
have
so
we
do
have
as
Mr
Slatt
mentioned
some
area
where
it
is
just
a
striped
area
where
the
curb
delineators
and
the
vertical
elements
to
minimize
cars
entering
into
that
protected
facility
area.
B
Great,
thank
you.
Would
you
be
able
to
go
into
a
little
more
detail
about
the
aerial
access
requirement
and
how
exactly
that,
all
you
know
how
that
all
interacts?
What
is
it
about
the
aerial
access?
That's
causing
us
not
to
be
able
to
get
that
full
median.
F
Challenge
we
have
is
the
Virginia
fire
code
and
I
will
be
the
first
to
admit.
I
am
I'm
not
with
the
fire
department,
but
we
do
interact
with
them
a
lot
to
make
sure
we
can't
provide
all
the
accesses
with
all
the
challenges
we
do
see
in
this
right
away.
I
think
everyone
is
aware
of
the
challenges
of
trying
to
provide
balancing,
providing
and
balancing
all
the
necessary
requirements
and
things
that
make
this
community
nice
between
the
sidewalks.
The
tree
pits
the
tree
area,
the
bike
facilities,
the
parking
and
the
travel
Lanes.
F
The
fire
code
says
that
you
have
to
have
between
15
and
30.
Foot
is
where
the
fire
truck
has
to
sit
to
maintain
access
to
buildings
that
are
over
35
feet,
which
is
when
the
aerial
axis
is
required,
and
what
we
found
is
on
the
south
side,
where
there
is
the
existing
curb
and
existing
buildings
that
are
not
going
to
be
moved,
I
believe.
Currently,
it
is
a
little
further
than
15
feet
from
the
sidewalk
to
the
building
face.
F
So
when
we
did
the
just
kind
of
doing
the
math
between
the
protected
bicycle
facility
and
then
the
median
and
the
parking
we
were
trying
to
maintain
some
parking
on
that
South
Side.
That
did
require
us
to
have
that
pickup
and
drop
off
only
spaces.
F
So
we
could
maintain
that
30
feet
as
the
maximum
and
we
had
some
of
these
same
challenges
on
the
North
side,
which
is
why
there
is
always
you
you
know
it's
it's
the
push
and
pull
again
of
trying
to
maintain
those
wider
sidewalks
and
some
of
that
larger
landscape
planning
areas,
in
addition
to
having
these
protected
bicycle
facilities,
curb
space
in
having
a
protected
median
to
minimize
those
car
conflicts
and
those
Pike
parking
conflicts
that
you
mentioned
before
about
the
short-term
parking
and
the
Rideshare
individuals.
F
So
it
is
something
that
we
are
challenged
with
throughout
this
area.
In
Crystal
City,
we
do
work
with
the
fire
department
on
every
single
building,
to
figure
out
where
the
axis
is
for
each
building
and
then
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
provide
what
we
think
is
the
best
design
to
balance
all
of
the
elements.
E
One
last
look
at
the
board
here:
boardroom
here,
any
other
questions.
Okay,
I
think
we're
good
to
go
for
a
vote
chairman.
B
Before
we
get
into
the
motion,
let
me
address
the
commission
here
briefly,
so
this
aerial
access
has
started
becoming
a
thing
that
has
popped
up
in
a
couple
of
sites.
Now
this
idea
that
the
the
fire
truck
has
to
be
able
to
get
within
between
15
and
35
feet
of
the
building
face
or
whatever
I
think.
B
It
is
something
that
we
should
be
having
more
of
a
conversation
about
as
a
county,
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
much
Nuance
coming
from
the
fire
department
as
to
what
you
know
constitutes
a
clear
area.
B
There's
certainly
I
think
some
opportunities
here
right
now
we
are
really
being
forced
to
trade
off
space
for
our
most
vulnerable
Road
users,
essentially
saying
like
we
can
either
have
a
great
protected
bike
lane
or
a
wide
sidewalk,
or
you
know,
Street,
trees
and-
and
you
know,
a
landscaping
strip,
but
we
can't
have
all
of
them,
because
the
fire
trucks
can't
get
close
enough
to
the
building,
and
it
just
doesn't
seem
to
be
something
that
other
areas
of
the
world
seem
to
struggle
with.
B
So,
certainly
not
something
to
hold
up
this
particular
project,
but
if
other
members
of
the
commission
are
are
interested,
I
would
be
interested
in
getting
some
folks
from
Des
and
some
folks
from
the
fire
department
at
a
future
meeting
to
have
a
conversation
about
this,
because
my
understanding
is,
unlike
the
20-foot,
clear
width
rule
which
we've
talked
about
other
times,
which
is
said
in
the
set
in
the
Virginia
fire
code.
B
B
No,
no
objections.
I
will
work
with
staff
to
put
something
like
that
together
in
the
future
and
with
that
said,
I
will
move
that
the
Transportation
Commission
recommend
the
County
Board
adopt
the
following
items:
associated
with
the
Crystal
Plaza
5
site
plan,
rezoning
from
Co
mixed
use,
District
to
Co
Crystal
City,
the
Crystal
City
Block
Plan
update
the
site
plan
amendment
to
SP
number
11,
the
site
plan,
SP
number
464
all
as
outlined
in
our
draft
board
report
dated
January
21st
2023.,
one
second,
that
is
moved
and
seconded.
B
I
was
not
able
to
hear
yeah.
E
I'll
repeat
it
to
make
sure
that
your
the
motion
includes
the
vacation
of
a
portion
of
a
public
Street
and
utilities
easement
and
the
site
plan.
167
Amendment
is
that
included
in.
B
E
I
think
we're
okay
with
wrapping
them
together
in
one
but
I'll
I'll,
look
to
the
the
county
staff
is.
B
There
any
objection
to
amending
that
motion
to
also
recommend
that
the
board
adopt
the
ordinance
to
vacate
a
portion
of
an
easement
for
public
Street
and
utility
purposes
running
west
from
Crystal
drive
towards
South
Clark
on
the
south
side
of
parcel
843
ordinance
to
vacate
a
portion
of
an
easement
for
public
side,
walking
utility
purposes
running
west
from
Crystal
drive
towards
South
Clark
Street
on
the
south
side
of
parcel
Lee
43,
and
ordinance
to
vacate
a
portion
of
a
10-foot
storm,
sewer,
easement
running
west
from
Crystal
Drive
on
parcel
a43
and
an
ordinance
to
vacate
three
portions
of
a
public
water
service.
B
Easement.
One
portion
on
parsley,
43
and
two
portions
on
parcel
A4
again,
as
outlined
in
our
draft
board
report
dated
January
21st
2023..
M
One
more
clarification
on
the
vacations:
there
needs
to
be
a
finance
that
the
two
easements
that
you're
acting
on
tonight,
the
street
and
utilities
and
the
sidewalking
utilities,
are
consistent
with
the
master
Transportation
plan.
E
Did
you
hear
that
Kevin
yeah
any
objectives,
any
objection
to
the
the
inclusion
of
those
additional
items
in
the
motion?
B
We
will
move
to
a
vote.
My
apologies,
if
I
call
your
name
and
you're
not
here,
because
I
can't
get
a
great
look
at
the
camera
on
his
here.
But
commissioner
Bros
I
know
you're
here,
yeah.
E
N
B
I
believe,
commissioner
yerry
is
like
on
a
plane
right
now.
Commissioner
Shannon.
N
B
A
M
The
arrow
portion
which
yes,
I
guess
my
pointer
is
showing
the
arrow
portion
portion
is
the
area
to
be
abandoned
and
the
other
smaller
portion
next
to
nearer
to
the
Altair
building
is
the
area
to
be
vacated,
and
this
is
a
request
on
behalf
of
the
county
for
the
Department
of
parks
for
construction
of
the
new
proposed
Arlington
Junction
Park.
M
Once
this
area
is
abandoned
and
vacated
vacated,
what
we
will
do
is
create
through
the
subdivision
process,
two
Parcels
one
for
the
park
and
one
for
the
constructed
South
Eid
Street.
We
will
also
be
dedicating
part
of
the
a
section
of
11th
Street
South
that
connects
South,
Eid
Street
as
a
little
bit
of
history
about
this
original
piece
of
Southeast
Street.
It
was
originally
dedicated
in
1927.
It
was
originally
called
Pearson
Street
in
the
late
60s
and
early
70s.
The
southeast
intersection
was
realigned
with
Army
Navy
Drive,
and
it
is
how
we
know
it
today.
M
The
portions
to
be
abandoned
and
vacated
are
no
longer
shown
on
the
master
Transportation
plan
chances
are
back.
Then
there
was
no
master
Transportation
plan,
but
they're
not
not
currently
showing
the
ordinances
require
that
the
abandonment
and
vacation
be
subject
to
reserved
easements
for
any
existing
utilities,
because
we
do
know
there
are
Utilities
in
that
area.
Those
will
remain
in
place
as
part
of
Park's
project.
M
The
pro
proposed
re-easement
to
be
dedicated
by
subdivision
we'll
also
include
a
dedication
of
a
section
of
11th
Street
South,
which
connects
the
current
Southeast
Street
and
is
shown
as
a
Commercial
Street
on
the
master
trans,
commercial,
local
Street.
On
the
master
Transportation
plan,
this
plot
whoops
got
back
one.
This
plot
was
similar
to
the
vicinity
map
that
I
was
showing,
but
a
different
orientation,
but
we
showed
the
two
pieces
top
small
piece
being
the
area
to
be
vacated.
M
The
arrow-shaped
portion
is
the
area
to
be
abandoned,
and
this
second
plot
that
I
have
here.
This
would
be
showing
what
we're
doing
we
will
be
doing
by
resub
division
and
that
is
essentially
creating
new
parcel
lines.
We're
going
to
be
creating
a
new
parcel,
F1
and
F2
F1,
incorporating
the
abandoned
and
vacated
areas
and
the
Park
area,
and
then
F2
would
be
where
the
currently
constructed
Southeast
Street
is
located.
M
M
And
so
we're
asking
you
tonight
as
staff
to
determine
that
the
proposed
abandonment
of
a
12
076
square
foot
portion
in
an
additional
vacation
of
a
4404
square
foot
portion
of
original
Southeast
Street
are
consistent
with
the
master
Transportation
plan
and,
as
I
pointed
out,
they
they
are
not
not
shown
on
that
plan,
because
they're
constructed
South
Eid
street
is
the
street
shown
as
the
street
on
the
plan
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
E
Thank
you
back
online
chairman
slat,
any
questions
for
the
stuff,
nothing.
B
Sure
all
right,
cheering
hearing,
none,
commissioner
Bros.
How
do
you
vote.
N
N
Q
Thank
you.
I
have
two
action
items
for
the
commission
this
evening,
both
on
Grant
applications.
The
first
one
excuse
me,
as
Mr
Ocoee
said,
is
for
authorizing
the
County's
application
to
nvtc.
I
should
read
mvtc
and
prtc.
Q
I
will
need
to
tweak
that
in
the
Border
port,
for
up
to
eight
million
dollars
in
regional
transportation,
funding
for
Metro
bus
6
route,
16m
service
enhancements
and
further
to
authorize
the
county
manager
or
his
designee
to
execute
all
documents
associated
with
a
standard
project
agreement
for
the
subject,
Project
funding
award
and
subject
to
approval
of
such
agreement
is
performed
by
the
County
Attorney
I,
apologize
that
both
the
board
reports
for
these
items
got
to
the
commission
a
little
bit
late.
Hopefully,
everyone
has
had
time
to
review
them.
Q
Q
Q
A
couple
of
notes
that
did
not
make
it
into
the
draft
board
report
that
went
to
the
commission
but
are
worthy
of
discussion
tonight.
First
off
the
16m
service
will
provide
a
direct
connection
to
Amazon
hq2,
which
is
first
phase
of
construction,
approximately
2.1
million
square
feet
of
commercial
space
coming
online
in
summer
or
fall
of
this
year.
Q
The
other
addition
for
clarification
purposes
in
terms
of
timing
of
the
base
service
and
the
cert
and
service
enhancements
that
are
proposed
under
the
commuter
Choice
application.
The
base
16m
service
will
replace
the
existing
route
16g
and
H
service,
and
the
16m
based
service
is
included
in
wamata's.
The
Ramada
GM's
proposed
fiscal
24
budget.
Q
The
base
service
will
provide
a
frequency
of
five
buses
per
hour,
so
12
minute
headways
during
the
entire
service
day.
The
Grant
application
is
for
service
enhancement
that
will
increase
the
service
to
six
minute,
headways
10
buses
per
hour
during
Peak
periods.
So
that's
what
we're
seeking
for
the
grant
funding
the
base
service,
assuming
that
all
goes
well
with
the
lamada
budget,
will
be
there
this
spring,
this
Grant
application
to
nvtc
and
prtc
for
commuter
choices
to
do
those
service
enhancements
it's
two
years
worth
of
funding.
Q
There
is
no
step
down
provision,
unlike
other
operating
funds
and
computer
choice
that
are
subject
to
step
down.
This
route
would
not
be
because
it
both
crosses
jurisdictional
boundaries
and
provides
direct
service
to
Metro
Rail
stations,
Pentagon,
City
and
Crystal
City.
However,
the
county
would
need
to
reapply
every
two
years
and
be
re-evaluated
as
a
continuing
application.
Every
two
years,
assuming
that
we
receive
the
initial
funding,
which
would
kick
in
on
July
1st
in
fiscal
2024,.
Q
With
that,
I
will
stop
and
be
happy
to
take.
Oh
sorry,
one
one
additional
piece,
because
the
root
is
partially
in
Fairfax
County,
the
you
know,
impact
to
cost
will
be
split.
It's
roughly
25
in
Fairfax
County,
75
percent
in
Arlington
County.
Q
In
addition,
because
of
the
Fairfax
piece,
there
will
be
a
separate
letter
of
support.
Fairfax
County
transportation
staff
has
been
working
closely
with
our
Transit
Bureau.
They
are
bringing
a
letter
of
support
to
their
Board
of
Supervisors
for
approval
roughly
on
the
same
timeline
as
this
item,
and
then
there
will
also
be
a
letter
of
support
submitted
by
the
LaMotta
general
manager
and
CEO
to
accompany
the
application,
and
with
that
I
will
pause.
Four
questions.
E
B
B
You
I
don't
know
if
anybody
is
here
from
transit,
but
it
was
my
understanding
that
the
TDP,
the
transit
development
plan,
now
going
to
be
called
the
transit
strategic
plan.
B
Actually
calls
for
this
enhanced
service
that,
like
getting
the
six
minutes
during
Peak,
only
gets
us
to
what
we
had
planned
for
in
the
in
the
transit
plan.
Is
that
correct.
Q
I
cannot
speak
to
that.
I
can
confirm
with
Transit,
but
I
can't
speak
to
that
directly.
B
Q
I
think
that
would
that
would
largely
depend
on
the
answer
to
the
first
question.
Obviously,
it
would
also
require
an
additional
infusion
of
local
funds
to
support
that
level
of
service.
If
we
do
not
get
the
grant,
I
will
say
that
you
know
this.
This
hits
The
Sweet
Spot
in
terms
of
what
nvtc
is
looking
for,
both
in
terms
of
benefits
to
toll
payers
in
the
395
Corridor.
The
fact
that
it,
you
know
serves
metrorails
crosses
multiple
jurisdictions.
Q
P
B
Yeah
I'd
like
to
move
an
amendment
I
would
recommend.
I
would
move
that
the
Transportation
Commission
further
recommends
that
the
county
move
forward
with
six
minute
Peak
Service.
Even
if
funding
does
not
come
through
from
commuter
choice,.
B
All
right,
there's
a
second
for
discussion.
At
least
I
will
give
some
more
detail
on
that
before
we
move
forward.
I
just
did
double
check.
The
TDP
does
recommend
a
six
minute
headways
during
the
peak
period
and
I
will
also
note
that
the
original
plan
for
Columbia
Pike,
the
Columbia
Pike
streetcar,
had
six
minute
headways
all
day
was
what
we
were
promised
years
and
years
and
years
ago.
B
So
this
is
already
a
step
back,
even
with
the
enhanced
service
from
that
is
being
applied
for
in
this
Grant
and
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
remind
the
county
manager
and
the
County
Board
that
this
is
already
a
degradation
of
the
transit
that
was
envisioned
for
Columbia
Pike,
and
we
need
to
make
it
happen
whether
we
get
grant
funding
for
it
or
not.
B
All
right,
then,
we
will
vote
on
this
motion
to
amend.
This
is
not
on
the
full
motion.
Commissioner
Bros
hi,
commissioner
Lane
Tommy
hi
Locker.
N
P
B
And
I
will
also
vote
Yes,
so
I
believe
that
takes
us
to
the
motion
as
amended.
So
this
is
recommending
that
the
board
apply
for
the
grant,
plus
the
further
recommendation
that
was
in
my
Amendment.
N
Q
All
right
same
apologies
in
terms
of
timing
of
the
Border
Port,
but
again,
hopefully,
everyone
had
a
chance
to
review
it.
This
is
asking
excuse
me
them
asking
the
board
to
endorse
the
priorities
for
the
fiscal
29
congestion
mitigation
and
air
quality
and
Regional
surface
Transportation
program.
Funding,
CMAC
rstp
shown
in
table
one
of
the
Border
port
and
further
to
adopt
the
resolution
authorizing
the
County's
applications
to
the
northern
Virginia
Transportation
Authority
for
CMAC
and
rstp
funding
for
fiscal
29..
Q
The
projects
themselves
match
what
was
briefed
to
the
CC
previously,
as
an
information
item
just
to
review.
The
proposal
for
fiscal
29
is
for
three
projects:
traffic
signal,
optimization,
which
again
is
on
a
three-year
cycle.
So
we
are
actively
doing
this
right
now
in
physical
23.
It
will
be
done
again
in
26
and
then
three
years
after
that,
at
a
request
for
fiscal
29
is
appropriate
for
the
schedule.
Q
The
bulk
of
the
funding
would
be
requested
for
Arlington
County
commuter
Services,
seven
million
dollars
out
of
CMAC
and
then
250
000
for
the
Arlington
Boulevard
Trail
for
the
Edison
to
George
Mason
section.
That
would
be
on
top
of
the
existing
one
million
dollars
that
is
currently
allocated
to
that
project.
In
fiscal
28..
Q
Again
this
is
80
20,
where
the
state
typically
has
always
historically
and
typically
provides
a
20
match.
So
there
is
currently
no
local
match
requirement
and
therefore
no
direct
fiscal
impact
to
the
county
for
putting
forth
these
Grant
priorities
with
that,
I
can
stop
for
any
additional
questions
on
CMAC
and
rstp.
E
Right
great
commissioner
line
tell
me.
E
To
the
boardroom,
any
of
my
fellow
Commissioners
questions
fairly
straightforward
here.
I
see
no
questions
here
in
the
room.
I
am
happy
to
move
to
endorse
the
priorities
for
fiscal
year,
2029
CMAC
and
rst
TP
funding,
as
shown
in
the
report,
and
to
adopt
the
resolution
authorizing
Arlington
County's
application
to
the
NBTA
for
CMAC
and
rstp
funding
for
fy29.
N
N
L
All
right
good
evening,
my
name
is
Matt
Ladd,
with
the
County's
Department
of
Community
planning,
Housing
and

I'm
joined
virtually
tonight
by
my

Richard
Tucker,
also
from

as
well
as
Angie
de
la
Barrera
and
Marietta
gelfert
from
the
Department
of
Environmental.
Services
I'll
be
presenting
an
overview
of
the
missing
middle
housing
study
and
the
draft
options
for
parking
requirements
in
the
zoning
ordinance
amendment.
That
is
the
subject
of
tonight's
request
to
advertise.
L
Just
as
an
overview
of
the
study,
the
missing
middle
housing
study
started
in
2020
with
the
goals
of
increasing
the
County's
housing
Supply
and
allowing
a
wider
range
of
housing
options.
Our
team
has
engaged
with
this
commission
a
few
times
during
the
study
process.
Over
the
last
three
years,
the
study
began
with
the
research
phase
to
provide
Baseline
data
and
an
understanding
of
the
challenges
in
Arlington's
housing
market
and
the
history
of
restrictive
land
use
in
the
county
phase.
L
L
During
the
year-long
community
engagement
in
phase
one,
we
identified
key
priorities
and
concerns
shown
here
on
the
slide.
The
top
priority
from
that
engagement
was
to
reduce
housing
costs,
and
we
also
heard
many
concerns
about
the
impacts
of
growth
and
neighborhood
change,
which
were
documented
in
the
phase.
One
report.
L
L
L
L
The
planning
commission's
long-range,
Planning
and
Zoning
committees
met
four
times
to
review
and
discuss
different
policy
approaches
and
options
and
to
review
the
draft
go
up
and
zoning
ordinance
language
chair
slot
participated
and
represented
the
Transportation
Commission
at
those
meetings
in
terms
of
process.
We
are
at
the
request
to
advertise
stage.
I'll
explain
what
that
means
over
the
next
couple.
Slides
a
request
to
advertise
or
RTA
is
a
procedural
step
that
takes
place
prior
to
County
Board
action
on
any
Amendment
to
the
comprehensive
plan
or
the
zoning
ordinance.
L
The
draft
zoning
text
currently
included
in
the
staff
report
contains
a
number
of
different
options
reflecting
a
range
of
implementation
approaches
in
cases
where
the
draft
indicates
multiple
options,
the
board
could
advertise
all
options.
However,
the
intent
is
that
only
one
option
in
most
cases
would
ultimately
be
adopted.
L
As
is
noted
in
the
staff
report,
the
draft
zoning
ordinance
amendments
presented
during
the
lrpc
and
zoko
process
have
not
been
revised.
You're
still
looking
at
the
October
31st
draft
of
the
zoning
ordinance
Amendment
staff
is
currently
preparing
updated
amendments
for
the
County
Board
RTA
later
this
month.
L
L
Sites
that
are
not
Transit
proximate
could
reduce
their
parking
requirement
if
on
street,
if
an
on-street
parking
survey
indicates
that
the
block
is
less
than
65
percent
parked
and
recognizing
that
sites
located
on
cul-de-sacs
have
different
geometry
and
on-street
parking
availability.
These
sites
would
have
a
one
space
per
unit
requirement
under
all
circumstances.
L
L
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
Planning
Commission
considered
this
RTA
last
month,
they
made
a
number
of
recommendations
to
the
County
Board
related
to
adding
options
to
the
draft
zoning
text
under
consideration
for
advertisement
specifically
related
to
parking.
The
first
option
from
the
PC
is
to
advertise
no
minimum
parking
requirement
for
expanded
housing
option
development.
L
The
second
option
is
to
advertise
no
minimum
parking
requirement
only
for
Transit
proximate
sites,
so
those
are
the
the
blue
and
the
green
sites
from
the
map.
On
the
previous
slide,
the
third
option
from
the
Planning
Commission,
relates
to
curb
Cuts.
This
option
would
not
require
parking
if
the
number
of
required
spaces
is
equal
to
the
number
of
curb
Cuts,
in
effect
not
requiring
the
loss
of
an
on-street
parking
space
to
accommodate
an
off
street
parking
space
staff
is
updating
the
draft
zoning
text
to
include
these
options
for
the
county
board's
consideration.
L
In
terms
of
next
steps,
we
will
be
bringing
the
RTA
for
the
glup
and
zoning
ordinance
amendment
to
implement
expanded
housing
options
to
the
County
Board
later
this
month.
If
the
board
acts
to
advertise,
we
anticipate
a
two-month
review
period,
leading
up
to
additional
public
hearings
prior
to
County
Board
action
on
whether
to
adopt
these
amendments.
That
concludes
staff's
presentation.
B
Yeah,
thank
you.
As
Mr
Ladd
noted,
I
attended
the
Soco
meetings,
as
TC's
representative
I.
Think
it's
important
to
remember
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
parking
minimums,
not
not
parking,
exact
requirements,
not
parking
maximums.
B
B
If
we
were
to
set
a
minimum
of
zero
parking
spaces
per
unit,
it
doesn't
mean
somebody
couldn't
provide
one
or
two
or
three
or
whatever,
and
in
fact
that's
what
most
jurisdictions
that
have
reduced
or
eliminated
parking
minimums
have
seen,
for
instance,
Buffalo
New,
York
removed
parking
minimums
and
all
of
their
their
major
development,
and
they
just
saw
a
percentage
decrease
in
the
amount
of
parking
that
was
provided.
They
didn't
see
it
dropped
to
zero,
so
I
think
that's
an
important
thing
to
keep
in
mind.
B
I
think
it's
also
really
important
to
keep
in
mind
that
when
we're
talking
about
missing
middle
and
how
many
units
can
you
fit
on
a
space
and
are
we
going
to
get
family-sized
units
or
you
know
smaller
units,
a
lot
of
the
math
and
geometry?
Really
just
comes
to
trying
to
accommodate
a
certain
amount
of
parking
parking
takes
up
a
lot
of
space
in
building
it
anything
other
than
surface
it's
prohibitively
expensive.
B
B
I
think
Planning
Commission
did
a
great
job
teeing
this
up
and
giving
the
board
some
other
potential
options
to
look
at
I
personally.
Think
half
a
parking
space
per
unit
Transit
proximate
areas
is,
is
too
much
of
a
minimum.
Some
of
these
you
know
these
trans
approximate
areas
have
really
great
Transit
access,
and
you
can
walk
to
everything
you
might
need,
including
grocery
stores,
and
many
of
them
are
on
major
trails
and
I
mean
all
of
that
sort
of
stuff.
B
It's
insane
to
me
to
require
parking
in
some
of
these
areas
and
I
think
we
can
trust
the
people
who
are
building
these
housing
units.
If
it's
an
area
that
people
are
going
to
really
feel
like,
they
need
a
car
that
they
will
build
it
with
an
appropriate
amount
of
parking
to
make
sure
that
the
units
are
economically
viable.
You
know
that
they
can
sell
them
or
rent
them
or
whatever
it
is
they're
doing
so.
Thank
you.
B
E
Great
thank
you
very
much,
commissioner
Lynn.
Tell
me
any
questions
from
your
side
or
comments.
G
No
I
just
align
myself
with
what
chair
just
said.
Great.
E
I
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
one
of
the
options
that
will
be
put
to
the
board
is
no
parking
minimums
at
all
correct
yeah,
that
that
was
what
the
Planning
Commission
recommended
right.
L
So
that
the
Planning
Commission
recommended
no
no
parkings
for
for
expanded
housing
option
development
only
right
and
not
it
would
be
out
of
scope
to
yes,
you
know,
recommend
no
parking
minimums.
You
know
beyond
correct.
I
Yeah
yeah
all
right,
yeah,
that's
great
I
mean
I
I,
really
appreciate
that
they've
recommended
that
I
think
if
we
look
at
where
other
cities,
where
best
practices
where
all
the
data
is
showing
us,
is
that
parking
minimums
are
really
not
beneficial.
This
is
especially
when
our
primary
concern
is
lowering
the
housing
cost
and
and
I
think
I
think
that
that
option
should
definitely
be
in
there.
H
Yeah,
so
I
realized
that
our
discussion
tonight
is
about
parking,
but
when
I
look
across
the
body
of
work
on
missing
middle
I
see
very
little
analysis
on
Transportation
writ
large.
H
This
is
a
fundamentally
Watershed
kind
of
moment
in
policy
making
in
Arlington's
history.
Something
Akin
may
be
to
the
direction
of
building
this
miraculous
Corridor
between
Roslyn
and
Boston
I.
Don't
think
we
should
underestimate
the
potential
uptake
by
the
market
of
missing
middle
and
what
it,
what
its
impacts
are,
and
so
I
don't
feel
like
I've
got
a
lot
of
information
about
how
this
changes
travel
demand,
travel,
behaviors,
car
ownership,
how
it
affects
safety,
Vision
zero.
H
What
does
this
do
to
car
free,
Arlington,
the
car,
the
Arlington
Car
diet,
I?
Think
in
parts
of
the
county
missing
Middle,
where
there
are
the
transit
amenities
and
the
infrastructures
in
place?
Clearly
it
has
the
potential
to
catalyze
the
things
we
want
to
see,
but
in
vast
parts
of
the
county
that
don't
have
that
type
of
infrastructure
in
place,
at
least
not
yet
I.
H
Think
there's
some
big
questions
about
what
the
impacts
are
and,
if
we're
introducing
a
lot
of
housing
into
areas
that
do
not
have
the
infrastructure
to
support
the
transportation
demand
or
if
we
don't
know
what
that
demand
is.
It
feels
like
we're
walking
into
this
a
little
bit
blind.
H
I
know
we're
voting
on
parking
tonight,
but
I
did
want
to
mention
that
when
I've
looked
at
this
issue
also
Arlington's
quite
distinct
and
different
from
some
of
the
other
places
that
have
have
recently
adopted
missing
middle,
like
Minneapolis,
a
city
that
I've
spent
some
time
in.
If
you
look
at
the
zoning
Maps
for
Minneapolis,
they're,
really
interesting
part
of
the
urban
morphology,
there
is
that
you've
got
grid
systems
predominantly
and
in
those
grid
systems
you
have
a
fabric
of
commercial
that
is
intertwined
and
that's
something
that
we're
really
lacking
in
a
lot
of
Arlington.
H
So
one
question
and
major
concern
that
I
have
about
missing
middle
is
the
lack
of
commercial.
Why
don't
we
have
commercial
woven
in
two
missing
middles
so
that
we're
creating
an
environment
in
some
of
the
neighborhoods
that
would
densify
to
allow
people
to
walk
for
some
of
their
trips
I?
Think
what
we're
going
to
see
is
a
lot
higher
proportion
of
vehicle
ownership
in
the
parts
of
the
county
that
are
allowed
to
densify,
that
don't
have
the
infrastructure
or
the
commercial
walkability
to
support
them.
H
I
think
we're
just
completely
mismatched
in
a
lot
of
the
county
on
a
transportation
basis
and
I,
don't
feel
like
there's
been
very
much
study
or
reflection
on
those
types
of
bigger
issues,
again,
I
think
for
about
half
the
county,
the
fabric,
the
infrastructure
is
already
there
and
it
probably
works
pretty
well,
but
for
much
of
the
county,
which
is
largely
a
car
dependent
suburb,
I,
don't
know
so
I
wanted
to
see
if
you
had
any
any
advice
for
me
on
that
to
help
me
feel
a
little
bit
more
comfortable
with
this
big
decision
that
we're
making
also
just
prefacing
that
we're
voting
on
parking
tonight.
H
L
Now,
thank
you
for
the
question
I'm
going
to
ask
one
of
our
virtual
attendees,
Angie
de
la
Barrera
to
to
start
addressing
that
and
then
I'll
I'll
fill
in.
If
I
need
to.
R
The
county
has
throughout
the
many
years,
has
invested
a
lot
in
our
transportation
network,
they've
invested
in
the
infrastructure
for
a
bicycle
and
pedestrian
and
has
created
a
network
that
it's
increased,
the
walkability
and
the
safety,
and
it
has
programs,
as
you
mentioned,
as
the
vision,
zero
to
create
this
infrastructure,
the
bills,
a
safe
environment
for
people
to
use
Transit
and
to
walk
and
also
Drive.
R
R
So
all
of
those
have
been
taken
into
account
for
staff
to
to
decide.
You
know
it's
hard
at
the
moment
to
know
where
all
these
things
we
have
the
map
and
that's
where
we're
determining
where
the
walkabilities
for
the
parking
spaces
are.
But
those
are
the
issues
that
we've
looked
at
for
staff
purposes,.
E
E
You
know,
networks
that
would
make
sense
for
buses
or
for
again
building
out
bike
lanes,
and
things
like
that
I
think.
That's
really
the
direction
that
if
we
become
much
more
of
a
Suburban
than
Urban
environment
or
the
way,
the
other
way
around
sorry
that
we
need
to
consider
that
in
providing
those
services
for
our
for
our
citizens.
L
Yes
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
that
commissioner
Ludlow
mentioned
was
was
Minneapolis
and
we
have
looked
at
Minneapolis
and
Portland
and
and
other
other
places
around
the
country
that
that
have
done
these
zoning
reforms
and
what
what
we're
seeing
is
the
the
uptake
is
slower
than
had
been
expected,
and
so
we're
we're
taking
that
into
account
and
our
our
Consultants
projections
were
that
it
would
be.
L
You
know,
on
the
magnitude
of
perhaps
100
new
units
per
year,
and
you
know
thinking
of
it
that
way,
and
and
also
within
the
the
zoning
text.
It's
we're
getting,
you
know,
be
beyond
the
discussion
of
parking,
but
there
is
to
respond
to
community
concerns
that
perhaps
those
projections
are
wrong.
There
is
the
possibility
for
the
board
to
impose
a
cap
on
development,
like
we
did
with
the
the
initial
iteration
of
accessory
dwellings.
L
So
you
know
in
terms
of
the
the
pace
of
change,
it's
expected
to
be
relatively
slow
and
and
I
think
you
know
we.
We
can
monitor
that
pace
of
change
and
then,
if
additional
Investments
are
are
needed
or
if
we
get
to
a
point
where
additional
Investments
make
sense
from
a
from
a
Transit
perspective.
I
think
that's
something
that
the
county
would
be
considering.
H
Yeah
I
mean
a
response
to
that
is
I
mean
if,
if
the
County's
got
it
right,
why
would
we
concerned
about
pacing
ourselves?
I
mean
if
we've
got
it
right,
we
should
go
full
Full,
Steam
and
so
I
I.
Don't
I
really
understand
the
trepidation
unless
we're
create
in
looking
at
this
as
a
pilot
which
it
doesn't
sound
like
we
really
are
I.
H
H
A
big
missing
part
of
this
to
me
is
the
commercial
and
how
does
that
fit
into
the
fabric
of
Arlington
if
we're
urbanizing
the
county
and
densifying
it
through
this
kind
of
mixed
housing
approach,
I
think
that
really
has
to
be
a
key
ingredient
or
we're
missing
a
really
incredible
opportunity
to
create
more
to
make
more
of
Arlington,
walkable
and
livable
and
to
even
increase
the
attractiveness
of
the
mix
of
housing.
So
I
just
I'll
leave
it
there.
H
I
haven't
really
heard
this
spoken
about
much,
but
when
I'm
in
Minneapolis
one
of
the
things
I
love
is
the
ability
to
walk,
typically
I'm,
not
I,
hope
I'm,
not
over
generalizing.
Here,
walk
three
to
four
blocks:
maybe
six
blocks
and
hit
a
great
commercial
strip
and
be
able
to
grab
something
to
drink.
Some
groceries,
whatever
happens
to
be
restaurant
and
have
those
types
of
opportunities
really
is
kind
of
game
changing,
rather
than
having
all
of
North
Arlington
kind
of
have
to
continue
to
drive
to
Langston
Boulevard
to
to
do
what
they
need
to
do.
H
So
yeah!
Thank
you
for
that.
Just
from
a
transportation
perspective,
I
think
we've
got
to
think
big
about
this
and
if
we've
got
our
direction
right,
I
don't
see
why
we
would
want
to
Pace
ourselves.
If
we
are
worried
about
things,
then
we'll
Pace,
ourselves,
I
I,
just
I
think
that's
incompatible,
but
that's
my
opinion.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
commissioner.
K
K
We
we
hear
that,
for
you
know
a
single
family,
it's
whatever
it
is
I
think
it's
one
one
dwelling
unit
or,
if
so
sorry,
let
me
what
I'd
like
to
understand
is
what
how
we
can
jump
from
that
our
required
minimums
to
now
having
no
minimums
and
the
kind
of
kind
of
the
ideology
behind
that,
and
maybe
more
for
just
discussion
amongst
you
know
other
you
know
our
commissioners
I
just
not
clear
if
I
can
jump
from
having
some
sort
of
minimum
to
no
minimums
at
all
and
being
able
to
recommend
that
as
or
so
we'd
like
to
hear
what
other
thoughts
are
on
that.
H
K
Is
that
kind
of
your
point
yeah
yeah?
How
are
we
getting
from
having
a
minimum
of
0.3
from
market
rate
units
in
you
know
when
we
were
right
now
we
were
talking
about
Crystal
City.
That
was
is,
has
you
know,
Metro
and
all
of
the
other
amenities
bikes
and
now
we
are
saying
no
minimums
I'm,
just
not
sure
if
I
can
get
there
and
but
I
want
to
get
I,
maybe
want
to
get
there
I.
Just
not
sure
I
can't
see
the
connection
at
this
point.
I.
E
Think,
commissioner,
sort
of
articulated
it
at
the
get-go,
which
was
if
you're,
restrict,
if
you're,
making
a
minimum
on
a
single
lot
of
land
in
which
you're
not
you're
not
doing
like
building
an
underground
parking
garage
right,
you're,
you're,
actually
just
providing
the
whole.
If
you,
if
you're
having
to
provide
a
parking
garage
on
async.
A
lot
of
you
know
a
couple
garages
on
a
single
lot
of
land
you're,
all
of
a
sudden
getting
rid
of
the
the
living
space
that
you
would
have
on
that
land.
E
So
if
we
want
to
create
space
for
families
but
you're
having
to
add
a
you
know,
a
single
car
garage
or
a
double
car
garage
you're,
getting
there's
now
now
that
space
is
is
compressed.
And
so,
if
you
allow
people
to
not
have
to
build
garages
which
is
to
remove
that
minimum,
then
you
give
them
the
opportunity
to
actually
provide
housing
for
folks
in
the
families
that
we're
trying
to
encourage
to
live
in
those
locations.
K
And
I
understand
that
I,
just
I
think
that
there
still
is
unfortunate.
Forge
still
is
a
need
for
parking,
so
getting
rid
of
it.
I
just
can't
seem
to
get
to
that
point
of
that.
They're
they're
still
going
to
be
cars,
especially
I.
E
E
E
G
Yeah
sort
of
going
back
a
little
bit
again
off
topic.
It
is
parking,
but
in
response
to
the
question
about
having
studied
parking,
the
way
I've
looked
at
I'm
sorry
parking
in
the
other
areas
of
the
county
and
what
the
impact
is
going
to
be
by
Ms
middle
on
traffic.
G
Here's
the
way
I
looked
at
it.
Let's
say
you're
right
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
huge
jump
in
the
number
of
these
units
built
instead
of
100
per
year.
Let's
pause
it
2
000
a
year
assume
like
the
county,
is
26
square
miles,
maybe
20
square
miles
or
sale.
Family
Zone
that
would
be
missing
middle.
We're
talking
about
100
cars
per
square
mile,
a
hundred
cars
per
square
mile,
basically
isn't
going
to
be
noticed.
G
It's
almost
a
rounding
error
to
the
amount
of
traffic
that's
generated
on
those
streets,
even
if
they're
not
a
grid
they're.
Still
we
have
a
very
robust
Street
Network
as
confusing
as
it
may
be.
It's
there
and
it
works.
Adding
100
cars
in
a
square
mile
isn't
going
to
move
the
needle
as
far
as
traffic
goes.
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
A
lot
of
those
streets
have
a
lot
of
empty
parking
that
maybe
you
wouldn't
need
it
there
anyway,
because
there's
so
much
street
parking
and
that's
why
I
think
the
marketplace
in
a
no
minimum
could
in
fact
work
though
I
fully
appreciate
people's
nervousness
about
it,
because
we
haven't
experimented
with
it
yet
so
you
know
I
think
it's
worth
discussing
whether
it
will
go
through
I
tend
to
doubt
it,
but
I
think
it
is
definitely
worth
having
as
one
of
the
options
anyway.
That's
that's.
My
editorial
comment
for
this.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
chairman.
B
Thanks
yeah
I
wanted
to
address
both
commissioner
ludlow's
topic
of
conversation
and
also
commissioner
lockers
first
off
I
I,
do
think
when
we
talk
about
smart
growth
and
like
how
we
are
growing
in
a
way
that
is
sustainable.
It's
important
to
remember
that
missing
middle
is
not
that
dense.
We're
not
talking
about
mid-rises
we're,
not
talking
about
high
rises.
B
B
To
you
know,
a
commuting
to
DC
is
still
reasonably
close
to
getting
to
Transit
is
still
reasonably
close
to
you
know,
being
able
to
at
least
bike,
if
not
walk
to
a
commercial
area
and
to
some
extent
you
know
we
with
more
density,
will
come
the
possibility
to
support
more
commercial
and
I
would
say
personally,
I
would
love
to
team
up
with
commissioner
Ludlow
I
think
our
next
one
of
our
next
zoning
things
should
be
to
re-legalize
the
corner
store
in
Arlington
County,
and
that
would
be
a
great
Gateway
into
getting
some
commercial
into
parts
of
Arlington
that
don't
currently
have
it.
B
I
will
also
say
you
know
the
parts
of
Arlington
that
don't
have
great
Transit,
don't
have
great
Transit,
because
there
aren't
enough
people
there
to
support
it,
and
so
part
of
you
know.
Moving
forward
with
myths
and
middle
May
mean
that
some
of
those
neighborhoods
finally
have
enough
people
to
support
some
good.
B
You
know
bus
routes
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
that
benefits
everybody
in
the
neighborhood,
not
just
the
people
in
the
new,
expanded
housing
options
on
parking
minimums
and
not
having
them
honestly,
I
think
in
our
Transit
rich
areas
we
should
be
moving
to
parking
maximums.
That
is
super
important
land.
B
We
have
sunk
an
enormous
amount
of
money
into
Transit
options
in
those
Transit
proximate
areas
and,
like
honestly,
they're
some
of
the
only
areas
that
we
have
where
that
you
know,
support,
really
really
really
really
really
support
car
free
living
and
we're
spending.
A
lot
of
you
know
Transit
money
and
capital
money.
B
Making
that
happen-
and
you
know
we
shouldn't
be
wasting
that
land
necessarily
on
parking
spaces,
but
I
know
that
you
know
not
everybody
is
there
yet
I
think
not
having
a
parking
minimum,
especially
in
transit,
proximate
areas,
or
at
least
in
trans
approximate
areas,
is
a
reasonable
compromise
and
to
say
that,
like
we're
going
from
parking
minimums
to
not
parking
minimums
potentially
like
for
our
site
plans,
we've
been
essentially
in
a
market-driven
parking
situation
for
years
now.
B
You
know
we
have
this
residential
parking
guidelines
about.
You
know,
what's
an
appropriate,
you
know
how
appropriate
is
it
to
reduce
parking
in
a
big
Residential
Building?
How
appropriate
is
it
to
reduce
parking
in
a
big
office
building
and
we're
generally,
the
developers
are
coming
in
with
an
amount
of
parking
that
they
think
is
appropriate
and
we're
going
with
it
in
those
big
buildings?
B
Is
there
a
floor?
That's
not
zero.
Yes,
I
think
you
can
only
go
down
to
like
point
two
or
something
like
that,
or
it
may
be
a
little
higher
outside
of
Transit
proximate
areas
but
like
we
are
essentially
already
have
done
away
with
most
parking
minimums
in
our
site
plan
development.
This
is
just
an
extension
of
that
to
missing
metal
so
and
I
think
I
think
it's
appropriate
again.
It's
not
saying
you
can't
build
parking
and
other
cities.
B
B
E
Thank
you,
chairman.
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
the
parking
maximums
because
I
that's
exactly
where
my
head
was
going
as
we
were
having
the
conversation
about
releasing
the
the
minimums
it
feels
like.
That's
that's
something
to
consider
going
forward
in
certain
locations.
I
know,
commissioner
Terry
had
a
question.
J
L
So
as
I
as
I
mentioned
in
the
presentation,
it
was
really
you
know
working
with
our
our
partners
in
Des
on
sort
of
best
practices
for
or
walkability
to
to
Transit,
but
we
used
a
three-quarter
mile
radius
from
from
Metrorail
half
mile
from
the
premium
Transit
Network
and
the
premium
Transit
Network
I
think
you
were
talking
earlier
about
the
Columbia
Pike.
That's
that's
one
of
the
main
pieces
of
that
Network
and
then
the
other
one
is
the.
L
L
And
so
these
are
all
defined
in
the
master
Transportation
plan
they're,
not
they're,
not
specific
bus
routes,
but
they're
with
within
the
master
Transportation
plan,
saying
it's
the
County's
policy
to
invest
in
these
Transit
corridors
and
and
recognizing
you
can
see
the
the
radius
gets
smaller
as
you
go
from
heavy
rail
to
the
premium
transit
to
the
to
the
primary
Transit
network,
which
is
you
know
which
mostly
buses.
So
it
was
really.
You
know
considering
the
the
quality
of
Transit,
the
frequency
of
Transit,
obviously
that
changes
from
year
to
year.
L
J
I
think
that
we
should
be
broadening
our
definition
around
that
and
really
looking
at
alternative
transportation,
where
I
think
you
touch
a
lot
more
of
the
the
county
and
then
have
those
parking
would
be
adjusted
then
as
to
what
the
recommendation
would
be,
and
certainly
if
we
don't
have
the
infrastructure
for
safe,
alternative
Mobility
for
pedestrians
and
cyclists
in
all
parts
of
the
county.
That's
also
another
thing
that
we
need
to
make
sure
we
address,
especially
if
we
want
to
create
a
livable
Community,
where
we've
got
access
to
walk
to
the
store.
J
I'm
surprised
to
find
out
the
corner
stores
are
illegal.
Would
love
to
find
out
more
about
that
too,
but
certainly
I.
Think
that
that's
something
we
really
need
to
prioritize
and
also
just
think
about
all
the
people
who
look
to
Arlington
as
a
place
where
they
can
bike
and
walk
and
that
we
should
be
thinking
about
that
as
well.
H
Just
a
follow-up
question
there:
this
isn't
a
really
great
map
and
in
terms
of
illustrating
what
some
of
these
radii
look
like
to
what
extent
have
staff
kind
of
ground
truth
this
against
the
data
in
terms
of
how
people
are
actually
behaving,
what
type
of
Transportation
they're
consuming?
How
are
they
moving
I
know:
there's
like
the
ACs,
the
American
Community
survey
and
there's
some
other
things.
I
know
you
periodically
do
some
work
but
has
I
I
guess.
H
Maybe
this
is
the
the
my
my
research
bias
I
like
research,
I
I
feel
like
I
I
need
more
information,
and
you
know
what
is
the
stated
preference
of
of
the
users
of
the
system.
Have
we
have
you
interviewed
developers
and
done
consultations
with
developers
to
understand
how
they
view
parking
and
what
they
would
provide
under
different
scenarios
and
different
circumstances,
because
otherwise
I
feel
like
again
like
we're
flying
a
little
bit
blind
if
you've
done
that
great
I'd
love
to
learn
more.
L
So
I
think
it.
You
know
at
the
level
of
detail
that
that
you're
talking
about
you
know
we
we
haven't
done
that
it's
it's
more.
Relying
on
you
know,
standard
industry,
best
practices
for
for
walkability
from
from
various
Transit
options
into
you
know,
which
is
usually
used
in
terms
of
where
high
density
should
be
located,
but
also
can
be
used
as
a
as
a
proxy
for
obviously
having
having
better
Transit
options,
you're
less
likely
to
need
a
car
or
for
a
family
to
need
multiple
cars.
L
So
really
you
know
just
really
kind
of
looking
at,
like
I
said
best
practices,
but
not
getting
into
the
the
ACs
level,
which
you
know
I'm,
not
sure
that
the
data
is
even
there
to
drill
down
to
to
the
level
that
I
think
you
would
like,
and
you
I
think
you
had
another
question.
That's
all.
H
I
just
wanted
to
know
how
how
deep
you'd
gone,
because
you
know
we
I've
heard
about
the
quarter
mile
and
the
half
a
mile
for
20
years
and
I've
always
been
curious
about
the
degree
to
which
humans
actually
observe
those
radii
and
where,
when
they
use
their
cars
and
when
they
use
their
bikes
and
when
they
walk
and
if
we're
provisioning,
Transportation
Systems
to
accommodate
a
greater
number
of
choices,
Equitable
access
and
and
all
the
other
goals
and
Visions
espoused
in
the
master
Transportation
plan.
H
I,
just
I
think
we
need
that
kind
of
information,
or
at
least
I
would
like
it
as
we're
making
kind
of
watershed
decisions.
L
A
developer
will
recognize
that
and
or
you
know,
or
if
there's
some
some
other
barrier
to
walkability
or
to
be
being
able
to
get
to
that
to
that
Transit
Network,
you
know
the
the
Builder
will
will
recognize
that
and
the
the
person
who
wants
to
live
in
that
house
will
recognize
that
right
and
if,
if
you're
a
household
that
needs
one
car
or
needs
two
cars,
you
will
find
a
housing
option
that
accommodates
that
need,
and
it's
in
the
talk
of
the
discussion
about
minimums
is
really
about
should
be
we
be
requiring
that
if
it's
not
necessarily
needed,
if
there's
a
market,
if
there
are
people
who
who
don't
need
a
car,
should
we
require
that
parking
space
to
be
there
on
the
site.
I
Thank
you,
yeah
I
wanted
to
respond
to
commissioner
Walker's
concerns
and
their
concerns
that
a
lot
of
people
have
as
well
when
you
have
a
a
conversation
with
anybody
in
the
community
and
I
think,
what's
important
at
least
the
way
that
I
look
at
it
and
chairman
slat
already
talked
about
it
is
that
this
does
not
preclude
people
from
building
parking
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
the
debate
and
I'm
not
saying
you.
I
You
were
saying
this,
but
I
know
when
you
go
out
in
the
streets,
they
say:
oh
no
parking
minimums.
They
think
that
no
parking
is
going
to
get
built
and
I
find
it
incredibly
hard
to
believe
that
there
could
be
a
missing
metal
development
on
the
border
with
McLean
that
would
have
SeaWorld
parking
spots
like
I,
don't
know
what
developer
would
do
that
and
who
would
buy
that
and
I
think
the
way
I
view
it.
I
At
least
these
these
mandatory
minimums
at
Abu
it
as
an
unnecessary
government
intervention
into
the
market
that
creates
an
imposition
on
people
that
maybe
in
some
contexts
would
be
appropriate.
The
some
of
the
proposed
ratios
for
you
know
going
back
to
the
example
of
way
up,
North
or
even
Aurora
Hills,
that
these
will
be
sensible
ratios
that
a
developer
might
want,
but
otherwise
and
in
other
places,
I
believe
there
is
a
strong
demand
for
people
to
not
to
not
want
to
parking
spot
to
maybe
want
something
else:
to
want
more
square
footage.
E
Thank
you.
We
have
a
hand
up
from
chairman.
B
Thank
you,
I
had
a
process
question
for
Mr
Ladd.
When
we
originally
talked
about
missing
middle
coming
to
Transportation
Commission,
there
was
a
thought
that
staff
would
only
be
able
to
come
to
TC
once
and
should
that
be
at
the
RTA
stage
or
at
the
adoption
stage
and
I
believe
we
requested
the
adoption
stage.
B
L
I
I
won't
commit
to
anything,
but
you
know
it's:
it's
likely
that
we,
we
probably
would
we
we
wanted
to
come
here
for
the
RTA
and
and
particular
for
you
to
take
action
recognizing
that
the
Planning
Commission
took
some
action
related
to
the
parking
requirements
and
I
I
think
this.
L
This
has
been
a
good
discussion,
but
as
I
as
I
want
to
reiterate
from
my
presentation,
the
purpose
of
tonight
is
what
should
be
on
the
table
for
the
County
Board
to
consider,
and
so
it's
not
necessarily
should
the
parking
policy
for
expanded
housing
option
development
be
no
minimum
parking
requirement
anywhere
or
no
minimum
parking
requirement
near
Transit.
It's
should
the
County
Board
advertise
that
so
that
this
conversation
can
continue
into
into
February
and
March.
B
Yeah
and
that's
why
I'm
asking
is
I'm
happy
to
make
a
recommendation
right
now.
That
is
just
about
the
the
options
that
should
be
in
the
advertisement,
but
if
there's
not
a
thought
that
staff
is
going
to
be
back
again,
I
like
I,
think
the
commission
would
probably
like
an
opportunity
to
say.
Okay,
we
gave
you
a
bunch
of
options
we
thought
should
be
considered.
B
H
B
If
it's
not
you,
even
if
it's
just
one
of
your
delightful
staff
on
Virtual
it'd,
be.
L
Great
and-
and
you
could,
you
could
also
take
this
up
without
staff
right
you've,
you
have
the
information
you'll
have
the
staff
report,
so
what
you
know
whether
whether
staff
is
available
and
other
other
commissions
have
have
done
that
you
know
they've
they've
taken
our
materials
and
they
have,
and
they
have
had
discussion
amongst
themselves
and
they've,
made
recommendations
to
the
County
Board.
B
Excellent
point:
thank
you
very
much
and
then
I
think
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
just
on
the
whole
parking
minimums
conversation
just
another
way
to
think
about.
It
is
one
I
think
us
creating
more
housing
options
that
are
maybe
only
attractive
to
people
who
don't
have
cars
is
great
for
Arlington
County.
That
means
it's
more
likely.
We
will
have
more
car
free
folks,
which
means
less
traffic
on
our
roads
and
more
sustainable
and
carbon
neutral,
Arlington
and
number
two.
B
If
we
do
keep
parking
minimums
on
these
units,
we
are
essentially
saying
that
if
you
don't
have
a
car
you're
going
to
have
to
pay
for
a
parking
space
anyway
and
I'm,
not
really
okay
with
that
I
think
part
of
me
helping
keep
Arlington
County
affordable
is
allowing
people
to
live
here.
Car
free
and
part
of
that
is
not
making
them.
You
know
pay
for
a
parking
space,
even
if
they're
not
going
to
use
one
so
I
just
think.
B
H
So,
commissioner,
Slatt
I,
think
I
think
your
comments
are
100
appropriate
in
the
areas
of
the
county.
Again
that
can
support
a
car,
free
lifestyle,
but
I
think
it's
undeniable
that
missing
middle
will
add
cars.
Commissioner
land
tell
me,
doesn't
think
it'll
be
many,
but
over
time
it
will
be
cars
more
people
living
in
at
this
point,
Auto
dependent
parts
of
the
county
and
I.
Don't
think
we
know
how
to
net
that
out
in
terms
of
where
we'll
be
in
terms
of
car,
free
and
carbon.
E
Okay,
thank
you,
I
think
we're
ready
for
a
motion
chairman
slot.
Do
you
want
to
make
the
motion.
E
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
to
adopt
the
attached
resolution
authorizing
advertisement
of
public
hearings
by
the
Planning
Commission
County
Board,
to
consider
the
following.
The
cited
glup
and
EXO
amendments
to
implement
policies
and
regulations
related
to
the
missing
middle
housing
study
in
further
into
the
goals
of
the
affordable
housing
master
plan.
Citing
those
amendments,
foreign.
P
E
B
This
is
awesome
and
then
I
will
I
will
move.
Essentially
the
planning
commissions
motions
as
well.
You
see
so
I'm
move
as
an
amendment.
The
Transportation
Commission
recommend
expanding
the
scope
of
advertisement
to
include
three
additional
options
for
parking
requirements,
one
that
we
as
advertise
an
option
where
there
is
no
minimum
parking
requirement
for
expanded
housing
option
development,
two:
an
option
where
there
is
no
minimum
parking
requirement,
only
for
Transit,
proximate,
expanded
housing
option
development
sites
and
three
that
we
advertise
an
option
where
there
is
no
minimum
parking
requirement.
B
So
I
will
just
say
on
that
again.
This
is
just
giving
the
County
Board
options.
If
they
don't
advertise
an
option,
then
they
can't
do
it
essentially,
when
we
get
to
final
adoption,
so
it
is
certainly
reasonable
to
vote
to
advertise
something
that
you're
not
convinced
you
could
actually
vote
for
as
a
final
recommendation,
but
I
think
personally,
I
am
in
a
space
where
I
would
like
a
combination
of
two
and
three
I
would
like
to
see.
B
No
minimum
partner
requirement
for
Transit
proximate
sites
and
I
would
also
like
to
see
no
minimum
parking
requirement
if
the
number
of
required
spaces
equals
the
number
of
curb
Cuts.
But
I
would
like
the
board
to
have
the
option
to
just
advertise,
no
to
just
adopt
no
parking
requirement
at
all
and
I.
We
didn't
talk
much
about
the
curb
cut
thing
for
those
who
may
not
have
be
like
wondering
what
on
Earth
that
conversation
is
about.
B
So
that's
that's
where
that's
coming
from!
Thank
you
any.
H
H
We've
got
enough
information
here
to
make
a
good
decision
in
terms
of
the
broad
sweeping
change
this
could
make
for
our
County,
including
the
the
the
points
that
I
made
earlier
about
retail,
about
really
understanding
parking
demand
about
knowing
what
developers
would
potentially
do
under
different
scenarios
in
different
situations,
so
I'm
I'm
still
having
a
lot
of
trouble
with
this
I
may
be
okay
to
vote
for
this
to
go
out
to
be
reviewed
and
to
go
to
public
hearing
as
as
part
of
this
deliberative
process,
but
I
don't
think
we
are
really
as
ready
as
we
could
be,
or
should
be.
H
P
I
actually
just
want
to
say
it's
a
long
time
coming
since
we're
able
to
vote
on
any
kind
of
development
project,
with
a
request
for
no
parking
minimums
and
I
I'm.
Just
thankful
for
the
chairman
for
making
the
motion
I
think
it's
a
I
think
the
Planning
Commission,
what
they
did
was
brilliant
I
I,
commend
it
and
to
commissioner
Ludlow
I.
P
Think
by
moving
this
to
advertisement,
I
think
you
should
definitely
consider
coming
back
to
the
board
and
then
bringing
those
points
forward
as
part
of
a
final
Missing
middle
housing
project
I
think
that's
the
that
is
the
Forum
with
which
you
need
to
bring
that
to
this
and
I
think
yeah
I
agree,
I.
Don't
necessarily
think
it
is
the
the
purpose
of
missing
middle
at
this
point
to
build
a
combination
of
housing
in
commercial
areas,
but
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
get
that
discussion
going.
B
Right
this
is
on
the
motion
to
amend
which
adds
the
additional
options
to
the
advertisement.
Commissioner,
Bros
aye.
Commissioner
Lynn
tell
me.
O
K
E
I
B
And
I
also
vote
Yes
that
passes
eight
to
one.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
as
amended,
so
this
is
recommending?
The
advertisement
is
outlined
in
the
board
report,
plus
the
three
options
that
were
added
in
the
amendment.
E
A
B
Not
as
of
yet
so
this
is
a
special
glup
study
in
between
Clarendon
and
Courthouse.
If
anyone
is
interested
in
being
my
alternate
on
that,
I
can
do
that.
B
That's
on
Glebe
north
of
Ballston,
near
Mount,
Olivet,
United,
Methodist,
Church,
South,
Langston
Boulevard;
yes,
sir.
Anyone
interested
being
the
alternate
on
that.
N
A
Got
it
okay
and
then
I
have
another
item
that
is
outstanding,
and
that
is
we
need
to
discuss
what
meetings
will
be
in
person
and
which
ones
will
be
virtual
and
that's
a
discussion
for
you
all.
So
I
I
have
all
the
meetings
set
up
as
in
person
at
the
moment.
E
Chairman,
do
you
have
a
recommendation
about
when
we
have
virtual
versus
non-virtual
meetings.
B
That
we
have
at
least
two
that
we
can
do
all
virtual
I
would
highly
recommend
that
we
make
our
December
meeting,
which
is
actually
on
November
30th,
all
virtual,
to
make
it
everybody's
a
little
busy
at
that
time
of
year.
Just
make
it
easier
for
everybody.
B
In
the
past
it's
been
my
thought
that
we
wanted
to
kind
of
keep
the
other
one
in
our
back
pocket.
Okay,
in
case
we
got
into
a
a
thing
where
we
couldn't
make
Quorum,
but
given
the
need
to
advertise
the
meeting
as
being
all
virtual
I'm
finding
that
we
don't
know
that
we're
going
to
have
trouble
meeting
Quorum
until
after
we
would
have
had
to
advertise
the
meeting.
B
So
if
folks
have
another
thought
about
another
meeting,
that
should
be
all
virtual
I'm
not
opposed
to
going
ahead
and
putting
that
on
the
calendar.
Perhaps
the
June,
the
July
meeting,
which
is
in
late
June
but
I,
don't
feel
strongly.
E
Yeah
the
summer
meeting
is
the
only
one
I'd
have
thought
about,
but
I
think
we
could
I'm
just
as
happy
leaving
it
in
reserve.
B
All
right,
my
inclination,
then,
is
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
hold
on
to
that
second
one,
and
if
we
haven't
needed
it
by
July,
well,
maybe
we'll
go
ahead
and
flip
that
July
1
to
Virtual
does
that
seem
reasonable.
B
I
think
that's
all
I've
got
many
thanks,
commissioner
Bros
for
managing
the
conversation
for
me
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
healthy
next
month.
We.
