I'll
just
make
one
very
quick
announcement:
Mr
Bogan
had
presented
to
Sogo
back
in
January,
just
with
a
very
over
summary
briefing
of
some
of
the
work
that
he's
spearheading
the
er.
Some
of
the
feedback
that
he
received
at
that
meeting.
He
is
preparing
that
first
batch
of
text
amendmentship
the
errors.
Only
the
RTA
should
be
on
the
board's
agenda
either
for
this
Saturday's
meeting
or
for
the
April
meeting,
and
that's
going
to
go
straight
to
the
Planning
Commission
again
for
that
feedback.
E
B
E
F
All
right
good
evening,
everyone
and
thank
you
for
having
me
here
tonight
to
present
on
this
iteration
of
the
commercial
Market
resiliency
initiative
for
those
of
you,
I,
haven't
met.
My
name
is
Elizabeth
King
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
real
estate
Development
Group
in
Arlington,
Economic,
Development
and
I'm,
joined
here
tonight
by
Jill
hunger,
cphd.
F
F
F
The
commercial
Market
resiliency
initiative
reflects
the
reality
that
rapid
economic
shifts
have
structurally
altered
the
way
that
commercial
office
and
real
estate
spaces
and
Retail
spaces
will
be
utilized
in
the
future,
leading
us
to
the
zoning
Amendment
we're
reviewing
tonight.
This
work
is
essential
because
for
a
county
to
remain
vibrant,
the
zoning
ordinance
needs
to
reflect
the
changing
economic
environment.
There's
a
need
to
reset
traditional
concepts
of
what
occurs
in
commercial
State
Basin,
with
the
understanding
that
most
uses
occurring
inside
commercial
buildings
have
limited
public
impact.
F
This
understanding
has
resulted
in
the
streamlined
commercial
Market,
resiliency
ordinance
amendment
process
for
updating
uses
where
we
are
updating,
uses
more
quickly
and
adding
them
before
we
get
the
ball
rolling
on
the
rest
of
the
presentation.
I
want
to
spend
a
minute
talking
about
new
economy
uses
with
the
decline
of
manufacturing
employment
in
America
in
the
early
2000s
Economic
Development
strategies
shifted
toward
human
capital,
development
and
quality
of
life,
Quality
of
Life
Enhancement,
with
a
greater
emphasis
on
tech
place
and
arts
and
culture-driven
strategies.
F
In
my
previous
role
at
the
economic
develop
Michigan
Economic
Development
Corporation
my
program
had
a
whole
best
practice.
Encouraging
municipalities
to
incorporate
these
uses
into
their
zoning
ordinance
and
I
was
really
excited
to
take.
This
job,
because
Arlington
through
its
CMR
work,
is
implementing
this
best
practice.
F
If
all
goes
well,
Arlington
County
will
have
the
new
economy
uses
best
practice
wrapped
up
for
the
end
of
the
year,
all
right
now
that
we're
all
caught
up
on
the
commercial
Market
resiliency
initiative.
Let's
talk
about
some
specific
challenges
related
to
the
Arlington
County
Summary,
so
these
challenges
include
an
ordinance
that
is
inflexible,
was
limited
and
outdated,
uses
and
examples,
an
ordinance
that
is
misaligned
with
zoning
best
practices
and
use
tables
that
are
lazy
and
complex.
F
Additionally,
the
zoning
ordinance
in
its
current
form,
has
resulted
in
the
denial
of
businesses
with
new
and
emerging
Concepts
that
want
to
call
Arlington
home
and
last,
but
certainly
not.
Please,
please,
is
that
for
small
business
owners,
time
is
money
and
to
help
them
be
successful,
which
helps
our
link
to
be
successful.
We
need
to
instill
greater
predictability.
F
Now
that
we've
gotten
through
all
of
that
background
information,
I'd
like
to
tee
off
our
first
ordinance,
Amendment
indoor
Recreation,
the
County
Board,
authorize
the
request
to
advertise
at
the
February
18th
meeting
and
we
are
anticipating.
This
amendment
will
go
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
its
public
hearing
on
April
10th
and
to
the
County
Board
on
April
22nd.
C
F
Would
be
a
good
question
because
the
world
of
indoor
Recreation
has
been
rapidly
expanding
and
evolving
indoor
Recreation
is
a
broad
term
that
is
inclusive
of
video
game.
Arcades
acts
throwing
bocce
ball,
curling,
Escape
rooms,
feather
bullying,
indoor
play
areas,
miniature
golf
courses,
recreational
crafting,
tabletop
games,
virtual
and
augmented
reality,
gaming
and
more
on
this
slide.
We
see
two
examples
of
emerging
indoor
Recreation
spaces.
The
first
is
the
wing
in
Ivy
City.
F
This
is
the
space
where
parents
can
come
with
their
kids
and
for
a
small
fee
if
their
kids
can
play
on
the
facilities
provided
with
the
other
children,
while
the
parents
have
a
snack
or
the
beverage.
I
came
here
on
a
rainy
Sunday
with
a
friend
specifically
to
do.
Research
for
this
presentation
and
I
could
tell
that
the
parents
really
appreciated
having
the
space
for
their
kids
to
get
the
energy
out.
F
The
second
example
is
of
the
mute
the
mute
is
of
use
in
Ballston
quarter,
which
could
be
considered
recreational
crafting
on
this
slide.
We
have
some
creative
examples
of
indoor
Recreation
from
the
DMV
area
and
Beyond.
First,
there's
a
spin,
which
is
the
ping
pong
bar
in
DC,
where
you
can
secure
a
ping
pong
table
for
a
few
hours
and
order
food
and
drinks.
While
you
play
with
friends
next
we
have
the
plant
house
in
Alexandria.
F
This
would
be
considered
a
recreational
crafting
space
and
plant
store,
we'll
come
in
pick
out
their
plants
and
build
terrariums
right.
The
store
perfect
for
your
next
date
night
and
I'll.
Let
Nick
answer
any
questions
about
that
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
That's
this
photo
below
that
we
have
beat
the
bomb
in
DC
located
in
Ivy
City
feed.
The
bomb
is
a
new
take
on
an
on
the
escape
room
where
players
stood
up
in
protective
gear
and
advanced
through
five
high-tech
game
rooms
to
fail
the
test
get
sprayed
with
paint.
F
The
concept
also
includes
an
arcade
lounge
and
adult
beverages.
Next,
we
have
throw
social,
also
an
ivy
City,
throw
social
offers
at
throwing
space
for
corporate
events
and
more.
Our
final
examples
come
to
you
from
my
home
state
of
Michigan.
The
first
is
of
the
following
warehouse
located
in
Hamtramck
bowling
is
a
combination
of
football
and
bowling.
It
can
be
played
one-on-one
or
in
T
and
sub
two,
and
you
take
turns
throwing
footballs
at
bowling
pits.
F
This
space
is
a
great
example
of
adaptive
reads
what
was
once
an
empty
Warehouse
bringing
minimal
Revenue
into
the
city
is
now
a
vibrant
place
for
people
to
gather,
connect
and
compete.
If
you
want
to
try
out
fully
but
don't
want
to
travel
all
the
way
to
Michigan
I
believe
you
can
find
find
it
at
throw
social
in
Ivy
City.
Our
final
example
from
Detroit
is
a
feather
bowling,
a
rather
obscure
sport,
where
you
roll
wooden
discs
and
try
to
land
closer
to
the
feather
than
your
opponents.
F
This
base
is
attached
to
khaju
Cafe,
where
one
can
grab
dinner
or
drink.
Other
Bowl
has
other
bullying
has
recently
been
adopted
by
a
brewery
in
Brooklyn.
As
you
can
see
from
this
slide,
there's
a
lot
of
creativity
in
the
indoor,
Recreation
industry
and
traditional
descriptors
might
not
cut
it
anymore.
F
From
our
example,
in
the
previous
slides,
you
might
have
picked
up
on
some
Trends
we're
seeing
evolving
restaurant
Concepts
that
blend
high
quality,
food
and
beverage
experiences
with
gaming,
we're
also
seeing
increased
demand
for
recreation,
indoor,
Recreation
facilities
in
walkable
areas,
along
with
emerging
activities
and
to
finally,
in
this
post
pandemic
World.
There
is
a
greater
need
for
places
for
repetitive
social
life,
where
they
can
Bond
and
conduct
over
shared
interest
and
activity.
F
The
video
I'm
about
to
show
you
is
a
great
example
of
that
people
who
live
in
areas
that
urban
areas
such
as
this
don't
have
the
space
to
host
these
activities
at
home,
so
they're
seeking
out
those
spaces
in
their
neighborhoods.
These
amenities
can
also
be
part
of
the
reason
someone
chooses
to
live
chooses
to
live
where
they
are.
F
That
was
an
example
of
an
indoor
Recreation
space
and
a
restaurant
bar
concept
called
hook,
Hall
up
in
Parkview
in
DC
and
they're
hosting
indoor
pickleball
leagues
for
Volo,
and
we
don't
want
to
listen
to
it
again.
F
F
The
company
has
locations
in
DC,
Miami,
Chicago,
Kansas,
City,
New,
York,
City,
Charlotte,
Pittsburgh,
Dallas
and
Houston,
and
there
are
five
additional
venues
committed
and
scheduled
to
open
in
2023,
the
pottery
gets
about
30
of
its
revenue
from
gameplay,
and
the
other
62
comes
from
food
and
beverage
sales.
Along
with
corporate
events.
You
might
be
wondering
why
I'm
talking
about
this
or
how
it
connects
to
this.
F
Let
me
explain:
the
pottery
was
opening
interested
in
opening
a
location
in
Arlington.
They
learned
it
and
wanted
to
go
into
a
portion
of
space
that
was
previously
used
for
Barnes
and
Noble.
The
pottery
applied
for
zoning
zoning
determination
but
was
denied
the
location
was
zoned
Co,
1.5
and
miniature.
Golf
courses
were
not
allowed
in
that
District
under
foreign.
F
Before
we
get
into
our
proposed
ordinance,
amendments
I'd
like
to
talk
about
something
I
alluded
to
earlier:
zoning,
Trends
and
best
practices
and
how
they
relate
to
Arlington
County
is
so
important.
Talking
through.
These
will
help
us
be
on
the
same
page
as
we
look
at
the
proposed
changes
in
the
coming
slides.
Believe
it
or
not.
F
It
is
also
now
a
best
practice
to
consolidate
similar
use,
so
there
are
a
few
meaningful
distinctions
between
sub-use
categories.
These
changes
can
help
with
predictability
and
transparency,
simplifying
overly
complex
tables.
By
making
some
straightforward
changes,
we
can
also
help
simplify
the
use
change
process,
extending
the
useful
life
of
existing
buildings.
F
Now
that
we've
talked
about
some
zoning
best
practices,
let's
take
a
look
at
our
existing
entertainment
and
indoor
recreation
use
categories
to
see
if
you
notice
any
addition,
any
issues
identified
on
the
previous
slide.
You
can
see
here
that
we
still
heavily
rely
on
the
traditional
method
of
listing
out
each
use,
even
if
they
are
not
problematic
or
distinct,
rather
than
more
broadly
relying
on
our
use
categories.
F
You'll
also
see
that,
even
though
many
of
these
uses
are
similar,
they
are
sometimes
regulated
very
differently.
Miniature
golf
courses,
for
example,
are
only
currently
allowed
via
use
permit
in
the
cth
a
district
that
makes
up
0.049
of
the
land
in
Arlington
and
requires
physical
structures
to
look
like
townhouses.
F
F
As
I
promise,
I
promised
some
consolidation,
and
here
it
is
in
the
proposed
commercial
mixed
use
table.
As
you
can
see,
game
arcades
are
no
longer
in
the
entertainment
category.
The
word
commercial
has
been
added
to
swimming
pools
as
part
of
cleanup
to
help
with
consistency,
since
we
have
an
existing
definition
for
this
use.
Finally,
you
may
notice
that
most
of
those
previously
listed
out
indoor
Recreation
uses
are
no
longer
in
this
table.
F
They
have
been
Consolidated
and
now
fall
under
the
broad
indoor,
recreate
all
indoor
Recreation
line
item
which
references
us
back
to
the
broad
use
category.
Under
this
proposal
we
are
now
regulating
similar
uses
in
the
same
way,
and
we
are
permitting
this
use
by
right
and
the
majority
of
commercial
mixed-use
District,
providing
predictability
for
future
applicants.
F
S
this
slide
contains
the
proposed
amendments
for
the
use
category
category
game
arcades
has
been
moved
from
the
entertainment
into
the
recreation
category
under
the
term
amusement
and
video
game.
Arcades
you'll
also
notice
that
the
examples
under
indoor
Recreation
have
been
expanded
to
be
more
inclusive
of
these
modern
indoor
Recreation
examples
about
earlier
Kenneth,
pinball
and
Racquetball
has
now
become
Court
game
facilities
and
skating
rink
has
transformed
into
indoor
skating
facilities
the
term
similar
establishment
has
been
added
to
give
the
zoning
staff
greater
flexibility,
as
new
indoor
Recreation
uses
continue
to
emerge.
F
Arlington
is
not
alone
in
making
these
zoning
amendments.
In
fact,
many
of
our
neighbors
have
already
broadly
added
the
indoor
Recreation
new
economy
use
to
their
zoning
board.
Fairfax
County
uses
the
term
commercial
recreation
indoors,
which
includes
movie
theaters
music
venues,
bowling
alleys,
indoor
skating
facilities,
Amusement,
arcades,
indoor,
shooting
and
archery
ranges,
tennis
and
similar
ports,
recreational
crafting
activities
and
similar
establishments.
F
Alexandria
uses
the
term
Recreation
and
entertainment
use
indoor
which
is
inclusive
of
the
previously
mentioned
use.
Alexandria
permits
these
uses
by
right
in
their
mixed-use
commercial
office
and
Industrial.
So
from
these
examples
you
can
see
that
this
work
brings
us
more
into
alignment
with
our
neighbors,
making
us
a
more
competitive
location
for
indoor
Recreation.
C
F
Ports
will
feature
16,
pickleball
courts,
a
roller
rink,
Lounge,
seating,
Portside,
Cabanas,
indoor,
long
games
and
a
beer
garden.
This
will
be
DC's.
First
indoor
roller
skating
rink,
giving
the
areas
robust
roller
skating,
Community
a
place
to
gather.
It
should
also
help
take
some
of
the
pressure
off
public
outdoor
tennis,
Sports.
F
With
this
zoning
ordinance
update,
we
hope
for
the
following
outcome:
they
think
commercial
spaces
get
a
new
life
new
and
emerging
spaces
for
corporate
team
building
events,
which
can
help
with
attracting
workers
back
to
the
office
can
be
created.
We
may
also
see
some
relieved
pressure
on
public
outdoor
recreation
and
year-round
activities
for
exercise
and
healthy
living
within
walking
distance
distance.
F
This
amendment
will
also
lower
barriers
to
entry
and
provide
greater
opportunities
for
entrepreneurship
and,
last
but
certainly
not
least,
we
may
be
able
to
keep
more
of
these
indoor
Recreation
dollars
in
Arlington,
rather
than
letting
them
flow
across
the
river.
Hopefully,
in
the
future,
we'll
see
more
of
these
indoor
Recreation
examples.
We've
talked
about
today
located
in
Arlington.
F
That
was
all
fun
and
games,
but
now
it's
time
to
shift
our
focus
and
talk
about
audio
visual
production
and
broadcast
studio
uses.
We
are
anticipating
that
the
County
Board
will
authorize
this
RTA
on
March,
18th
and
public
hearings
will
be
held
with
the
Planning
Commission
and
County
Board
on
May,
1st
and
13th
respectively.
F
F
F
Thank
you,
like
we
touched
on
earlier
in
this
presentation.
These
ordinance
amendments
are
needed
in
part
due
to
changing
markets,
technology
and
the
changing
way.
We
use
our
buildings
podcasting
an
industry
that
barely
existed
20
years
ago
and
was
much
smaller
during
the
County's
previous
ordinance.
Reformatting
is
currently
a
two
billion
dollar
industry
and
PWC
products.
It
will
grow
into
a.
F
Audio
visual
production
and
broadcast
studios
are
now
commonly
found
in
Office,
Buildings,
co-working
spaces,
hotels
and
Retail
spaces.
Another
Trend
touched
on
earlier
is
urbanites
turning
to
the
market
for
external
space
for
their
Hobbies.
This
persists
when
talking
about
audio
visual
production
and
broadcasts
related
to
this
is
one
of
the
most
interesting
things
I've
seen
lately:
influencer,
brooms
and
spaces.
These
are
aesthetic
spaces
where
one
can
go
and
take
pictures
and
record
content.
The
photo
and
video
on
this
slide
are
of
the
Cassandra
Smith
agency
in
Atlanta.
G
F
The
book
in
July
got
to
fly
on
a
private
jet.
F
This
same
use
goes
by
many
different
names,
depending
on
where
you're
at,
for
example,
in
Detroit's
ordinance,
they're
called
recording
studios
in
DC
media
Studios
in
Atlanta
office,
arts
and
crafts
gallery
and
Studios
and
PG
Kelly.
They
go
by
the
name,
art,
photography,
music,
dance,
yoga
or
Paul,
yoga
Pilates
or
martial
arts,
studios
or
schools,
and
in
Cambridge
and
San
Diego.
F
They
go
by
the
more
traditional
and
limited
term
radio
or
television
Studio,
and
the
photos
on
this
slide
are
just
another
example
of
how
podcasting
and
Digital
radio
spaces
are
popping
up
in
hotels,
and
this
is
the
line
hotel
in
DC
and
the
Eaton
hotel.
F
With
different
names
and
different
municipalities
from
different
youth
categories
for
the
audio
visual
production
broadcasts,
you
Detroit
houses,
this
use
in
the
office
category
PG
County
places
it
in
the
Arts
and
artisanal
products.
Category
Cambridge
is
the
transportation
communication
and
utilities,
category
San,
Diego
and
Commercial
Services,
and
it's
uncategorized
in
Atlanta,
since
they
use
a
different
ordinance
format.
F
F
We
are
at
7
30
and
we
are
more
than
halfway
through
right
and
these
ones
are
gonna.
Go
quick,
yeah,
yeah,
they're
gonna
go
quick,
we're
almost
done!
That's
what
I
want
yeah,
so
you
can
see
here
that
the
commercial
mixed
use
table
slides
presented.
If
you
look
at
the
office
category,
we're
adding
the
broadcast
use
to
this.
So
we're
really
broadening
this
use
and
we're
also
allowing
this
use
across
a
majority
of
commercial
mix.
F
On
this
slide,
you'll
see
the
proposed
changes
to
the
office
use
category
for
consistency
with
the
table.
We
are
proposing
to
remove
the
words
proposing
to
remove
the
word.
No,
oh
I,
don't
know
how
to
go
back
whatever
we're
proposing
to
remove
the
words,
television
and
radio
radio
and
replace
them
with
the
more
modern
and
inclusive
audio
visual
production
and
broadcaster
Studio
terminology.
F
Yep
yep
yep,
it
used
to
be
called
TV
and
radio
and
youth
in
the
youth
category
didn't
actually
match
the
use
in
the
table.
So
this
will
be
a
little
bit
of
cleanup
here
with
these
proposed
changes.
We're
really
hoping
to
allow
for
the
co-location
of
audio
visual
production
and
broadcast
with.
F
In
spaces
that
are
currently
vacant,
there's
our
hope
that
this
will
be
an
attractive
amenity
wherever
it's
located,
and
that
buildings
will
be
able
to
tap
into
additional
revenue
streams
by
allowing
these
spaces
more
broadly.
In
Arlington,
we
are
again
lowering
the
barriers
to
entry
and
opening
up
the
possibility
for
visually
interesting
streetscapes,
creating
space
for
creativity
and
skills,
building
and
facilitating
in-person
uses
that
bring
people
together
in
our
commercial
mixed
use
system.
F
F
If
you've
made
it
this
far,
you
know
what's
coming
next,
the
proposed
definition
for
research
research,
which
is
as
follows:
administrative
offices
plus
research
facilities
generally
engaged
in
the
in
technological
electronic,
biological,
scientific
or
engineering
research,
as
well
as
related
product
product
or
process
design,
development,
prototyping
or
testing.
This
youth
may
include
laboratory
warehousing
and
small
scale
production
functions
and
may
be
associated
with
institutional
or
commercial
uses,
but
may
not
include
industrial
scale,
production
or
Manufacturing.
F
F
These
businesses
are
looking
for
flexible
commercial
space,
which
can
include
corporate
headquarters
offices
as
well
as
r
d
lab
activities.
In
recent
years,
we've
also
seen
a
significant
increase
in
federal
research
and
development
funding,
which
Arlington
should
be
well
positioned,
benefit
from
through
this
amendment.
F
Similarly,
the
podcasting
there's
been
an
emergence
of
r
d
lab
co-working
spaces,
which
can
lower
the
barriers
to
entry
by
providing
high-tech
equipment
allowing
startups
to
locate
near
existing
businesses,
as
I
mentioned
before.
The
way
we
use
commercial
Office
Buildings
is
changing.
The
r
d
real
estate
supply
has
increased
significantly
since
the
beginning
of
2022.,
primarily
due
to
office
space
conversions.
F
We've
now
come
to
my
favorite
part
of
the
presentation,
where
I'm
going
to
tell
you
the
story
of
how
Municipal
ordinances
can
work
to
facilitate
Economic
Development.
There
are
three
primary
research
and
development
hubs:
Boston
Cambridge
San
Francisco
Bay
area
and
San
Francisco
and
San
Diego
I
would
like
to
focus
on
five
municipalities.
F
The
first
is
Boston
in
1989
Boston
introduced
an
ordinance
for
their
South
Station
Economic
Development
Area.
In
order
to
create
a
mixed-use
district
in
which
office,
retail,
Hotel
research
and
development
and
biomedical
uses
were
combined
to
Foster
economic
growth
and
facilitate
the
expansion
of
those
sectors
downtown.
F
The
second
is
Cambridge
an
Arlington
Pierce
City
in
the
Chicago
resiliency
category,
which
has
an
office
and
laboratory
as
a
combined
use
category
in
their
ordinance
and
allows
technical
office
for
research
and
development
and
laboratory
facilities
in
all
of
their
office,
business
and
Industrial
districts.
Our
third
example
comes
to
us
from
San
Francisco
in
2008.
The
laboratory
use
was
added
to
the
ordinance
defined
and
allowed
in
the
C3
District
in
2023,
San
Francisco
has
decided
to
copy
Arlington
a
project
for
flexibility.
C
F
F
F
Our
final
primary
research
and
development,
Hub
example
comes
to
us
from
San
Diego
research
and
development
was
added
to
the
city's
ordinance
in
2000,
and
this
was
allowed
in
many
of
the
commercial
base
zones
across
the
city
in
2019.
San
Diego
updated
their
ordinance
to
create
two
new
mixed-use
zones
with
the
goal
to
provide
locations
for
compatible
Industries
high
quality
employment
opportunities,
while
adding
to
the
tax
base
reducing
car
dependencies.
F
Now,
let's
take
a
look
at
some
of
our
secondary
research
and
development
hubs.
There
are
many
municipalities
competing
for
secondary
research
and
development,
Supremacy
that
I'm
going
to
focus
on
the
work
of
Seattle,
New,
York
City
and
the
Washington
DC
Baltimore
region
Seattle.
Another
peer
city
has
clearly
defined
laboratory
research
and
development
uses
specifies
them
as
commercial
uses
and
permits
them
in
their
commercial
mixed-use
districts.
F
New
York
City,
a
municipality
that
is
also
facing
a
large
commercial
vacancy,
is
undertaking
zoning
Works
similar
to
Arlington.
In
mid-2022
mayor
Adams
announced
a
zoning
for
Economic
Opportunity
project
with
the
goal
of
modernizing
and
simplifying
zoning.
Removing
restrictions
and
making
it
easier
for
r
d
locations
uses
to
expand
and
grow.
Nyc
is
betting
big
on
the
future
of
r
d,
and
currently
the
city
allows
these
uses
in
manufacturing
districts
and
some
commercial
zones
through
special
use
permits.
They
are
aiming
to
expand
the
allowable
districts
and
remove
the
special
use.
F
The
county
includes
these
uses
in
the
office
and
professional
use
category
and
permits
them
by
right
and
many
of
the
commercial,
residential
employment
and
Industrial
districts
in
2022,
PG
County,
completed
and
adopted
their
zoning
ordinance
overhaul
and
PG's
PG
County's
ordinance
includes
research
and
development,
which
is
clearly
defined
and
places
this
in
the
industrial
service
use
category,
even
though
this
use
tells
in
the
in
that
use
category.
Research
and
development
is
permitted
by
right
in
most
non-single
family
and
Transit
oriented
activity-based
zones.
F
F
F
This
is
such
a
big
change
and
the
old
vision
of
r
d
was
more
industrial
and
less
high-tech.
There
may
be
some
concerns
that
industrial
manufacturing
could
move
into
Arlington's
commercial
District.
It
is
my
help
hope
that
this
slide
will
help
assuage
some
of
those
fears.
There
is
a
clear
dichotomy
between
the
space
used
for
research
and
development
and
the
space
used
for
the
manufacturing
manufacturing
of
goods,
and
it
is
essential
to
understand
the
difference
between
these
two
types
of
spaces.
F
R
d
lab
space
buildings
usually
have
a
60,
40
split
of
lab
and
office.
They
require
large
form
plates
of
which
we
have
many
and
ceiling
Heights
of
13
to
15
feet,
which
is
compatible
with
existing
office.
On
the
other
hand,
industrial
manufacturing
facilities
are
spaces
dedicated
to
the
manufacturing
of
good.
F
These
buildings
require
complex
planning
and
are
not
good
candidates
for
office
reuse.
Does
they
require
intensive,
HVAC
and
power
supplies?
The
build-outs
are
very
expensive
to
each
tenants
processes
and
the
layout
they
require
to
manufacture.
Goods
buildings
also
require
25
22
to
25
foot,
building
figures
and
grade
level
doors.
F
You
can
see
from
the
examples
on
the
screen.
The
r
d
Flex
office
space
looks
like
our
traditional
Office
Buildings,
compared
to
the
image
on
the
right
with
high
ceilings
and
a
direct
loading
dock
straight
into
the
workspace,
by
virtue
of
the
building
requirements
and
the
definition
of
research
and
development
Flex.
Any
industrial
scale
manufacturing
that
wanted
to
locate
in
Arlington
would
need
to
go
into
the
industrial
districts,
and
this
slide
should
look
familiar
to
you.
F
To
begin
to
close
this
presentation
out,
I'd
like
to
discuss
some
of
the
potential
outcomes
we
may
see
with
this
proposed
Zodi
ordinance
amendment
by
allowing
flexible
research
and
development
uses
we're
allowing
uses
where
in-person
work
is
required.
Hopefully,
these
uses
bring
people
back
into
our
business
history,
creating
positive
knock-on
effects
for
local
businesses.
F
The
updates
to
this
use
will
also
put
another
business
attraction
tool
in
the
business
investment
groups
toolbox.
It
would
provide
businesses
that
are
looking
for
more
space,
the
opportunity
to
expand
in
more
districts
and
would
allow
startups
and
entrepreneurs
to
locate
near
universities
and
industries.
F
F
Finally,
I'd
like
to
close
out
this
presentation
with
next
steps.
I
will
take
the
feedback
provided
tonight
and
integrate
it
into
the
zoning
ordinance
where
possible.
Public
hearings
are
anticipated
to
be
held
for
these
studying
ordinance
amendments
as
the
dates
outlined
on
the
screen,
and
we
will
continue
to
provide
information
on
these
use.
Changes
on
the
zoning
studies
and
Commercial
Market
resiliency
pages
of
our
website.
We're
interested
parties
can
provide
feedback
through
the
comment
form.
B
Thank
you
Nick
all
right.
This
is
not
with
the.
C
A
One
thing
that
we
have
a
list
examples
or,
but
that
doesn't
end
up
invertently,
admitting
that
it
should
be.
You
know
you
have
language
at
the
end,
that
gives
flexibility,
but
I
really
would
like
to
see
something
fun.
These
are
examples
that
are
not
meant
to
limit
are
not
limited.
You
know
something
to
that
effect.
A
D
I
follow
up
on
this
yeah.
So,
oh
when
we,
when
we're
broadening.
C
D
Language,
so
that
we
have
a
couple
of
big
terms
that
are
meant
to
Encompass
many
different
uses.
Are
we
then
also
having
a
place
in
the
zoning
ordinance
where
we're
defining
all
of
that
yeah?
So
that's
yeah!
So
that's
what
I
was
thinking
too
yeah,
including,
but
not
limited
to
yep
yeah
right,
so
we
can
add
to
it
and
stay
flexible.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
come
up
with
over
the
last
few
years.
We
feel
like
we're
being
asked
to
approve
things
that
we
should
not
have
to.
G
Commissioner,
Hughes
brought
up
the
general
idea
that,
like
we
should
allow
most
things
unless
they
have
a
detrimental
impact
on
other
people,
and
you
should
be
responsible
for
the
impact
on
other
people.
So
is
there
any
way
to
like
include
that
sort
of
consideration
that,
like
yeah,
you
can
have
all
of
these
indoor
basketball
courts,
but
you
need
to
do
some
really
good
soundproofing,
so
that
if
there
are
residents
you
know
in
the
build
in
the
floors.
Above
you,
you
know
they
aren't
hearing
like
slam,
slam
slam
slam
all
day.
F
D
But
Elizabeth,
could
you
help
us
understand
because
I
understand
where
we
are
now,
but
we're
wanting
to
try
to
be
flexible
and
address
this,
but
there
was
a
reason
that
this
was
all
parsed
out
at
one
point.
You
know
because
these
uses
Were
Somehow
obnoxious
to
someone
else.
They
were
too
noisy
or
there
was
too
much
traffic
or
they
required
parking
in
addition
to
the
parking
that
was
there.
So
how
will
we
and
I
think
we're
on
the
right
track?
But
how
do
we
move
forward
with
that?
D
G
I
just
add,
I'm,
not
sure,
if
you're
familiar
with
like
the
pickleball
fighting,
that
is
currently
happening
in
parks
and
rec
and
like
it's
Parks
and
Rec's
job
to
mediate
things.
But
we
have
neighbors
that
are
like
putting
flyers
in
the
mailboxes
like
yelling
at
other.
These
people
coming
in
well
coming
in
from
yeah
River
to
use
our
dope
as
much
as
there
should
be
a
mediator.
Sometimes
you've.
F
It's
my
hope
that
by
allowing
these
uses
indoor
where
people
can
go,
pay
to
to
do
them
or
not
pay
to
do
them
or
join
a
Volo
League
where
they
can
do
them
inside
that
that
will
take
some
of
the
pressure
off
the
outdoor,
Parks
and
Recreation
great
Point.
That's
a
big
issue
yeah!
F
If
they
have
other
places
to
go,
do
it,
it
won't
take
as
much
as
many
resources
from
our
Parks
and
Recreation
yeah
so
that
that's
kind
of
the
first
idea
and
we're
also
helping
fill
some
of
this
vacant
retail
space
and
again
adding
vibrancy.
Since
the
buildings
you
know,
since
the
uses
are
indoors
all
that
pickleball
noise,
the
squeaking,
whatever
it
the
grunting
I,
don't
know,
I've
never
played.
F
Well,
hopefully,
it
will
be
contained
just
like
any
restaurant.
The
sound
from
indoors
would
be
that's
a
good
point.
The
way
that
you
might
not
be
able
to
do
it
Outdoors
exactly
so
you're
not
going
to
be
annoyed
by
the
pickleball
noise,
because
it
will
have
moved
into
a
space
where
you
only
see
it
when
you're
walking
by,
and
you
only
hear
it
if
you
go
in
honestly.
F
F
F
The
Barcade
is
a
very
common
thing
in
Detroit,
probably
like
five
different
barcades
that
adults
are
going
to
and
playing
games.
So
you
know
these
uses
have
really
evolved
from
the
time
when
it's
kids
skipping
school
to
now
it
it's
adults
going
and
using
the.
A
D
On
any
of
this,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
thinking
as
broadly
as
possible
so
that
there
wasn't
a
reason
with
any
of
these,
that
we
need
to
be
considering,
as
we
say,
yeah
this
this
makes
sense
virtually
everywhere.
It
wasn't
a
parking
issue.
It
was
probably
a
separation
of
uses
to
undesirable
people,
there's
definitely
noise
on
men,
but
there
are
comments
related
to
any
of
this.
Okay.
D
B
I,
maybe
I'll,
oh
yeah,
so
on
the
research
and
development
you
have
a
joke,
but
not
completely.
We
do
have
tenants
like
Lockheed,
Martin
and
Boeing,
and
they
do
research
and
development
in
missiles
right.
How
do
we
control?
What
is?
Where
is
the
language
that
says
we
can't
be
testing
lasers
on,
like
I,
mean
and
I'm
completely
asking
sort.
E
E
B
F
Building
code
so,
and
that's
also,
the
research
and
development
buildings
uses
laboratory
spaces
are
already
highly
regulated.
E
F
Not
just
OSHA,
but
there's
there.
B
I
understand
but
like
is
there
a
zoning
getting
ahead
to
forgive
this
and
that's
fine,
perhaps
is
our
zoning
sort
of
matching
that
at
some
level,
I.
B
A
A
Nuclear
nuclear
I
mean
hospitals,
have
nuclear
materials
that
they
use
in
various
things
are
very
tightly
regular
that
you
don't
you
don't
have
to
put
in
the
zones.
G
A
D
Thank
you.
So
this
is
the
idea
that,
with
some
of
these
uses,
they
were
called
out
specifically
at
one
at
some
point
and
what
why
were
they
called
out
that
way
and
has
that
rationale
going
away,
but
was
it
just
capricious
and
was
it
just
exclusion?
Let
me
ask
a
little
bit
because
I
think
she's
done
the
war
Planet.
This
was
a
very
detailed
presentation.
I
just
want
to
know
how
you
thought
that
through
because
those
might
be
the
sort
of
questions
that
we
get
asked
in
the
public
hearing
or
that
percolate
out.
F
Of
the
community,
you
know
what
those
are
good
questions.
I
was
not
here
when
Arlington
created
right
there
and.
D
F
Yes,
the
the
uses
have
really
evolved
and
the
way
we
think
about
them.
We
don't
think
about
miniature
golf
courses
as
something
for
kids,
anymore
or
pool
halls
as
where
bikers
hang
out,
okay
and
speaking
of
the
billiards
and
pool
halls
ordinance.
F
This
amendment
is
also
a
little
bit
of
cleanup
because
when
the
zoning
of
ordinance
reformatting
happened
in
like
the
mid
2000s,
some
of
the
spaces
were
billiards
and
pool
halls
were
allowed,
didn't
actually
make
it
all
the
way
on
to
the
youth
table.
So
even
the
use
table
as
it
is
today,
wasn't
quite
as
restrictive
as
it
was
back
in
the
day,
but
I
think
I.
Think
the
view
and
reputation
of
these
uses
has
changed
in
recent
years.
D
A
C
E
Staff
collectively
I'm
happy
to
help
on
this
could
help
fill.
C
E
You
know
once
once
you
have
that
public
hearing
staff
report
in
front
of
you.
My
hope
is
that
it'll
turn
to
the
community
engagement,
section
and
you'll
see
a
synopsis
of
the
the
commentary
this
evening,
I'm
seeing
a
staff
opportunity
to
further
in
form
on
two
fronts
number
one
in
this.
This
could
be
an
intensely
laborious
exercise
and
but
it's
worse
kind
of
looking
back
through
some
of
the
older
zoning
ordinances,
and
perhaps
we
can
find
a
couple
examples
or
things
to
demonstrate.
E
Okay,
what
is
the
zoning
order
to
say
in
1950
in
1965
did
some
of
how
was
it
characterized?
How
did
that
change
in
the
2012
to
2015,
so
we
could
and
I
would
contend
that
Elizabeth's
analysis
of
other
jurisdictions
and
things
is,
is
quite
comprehensive.
Perhaps
we
can
fill
in
some
of
the
gaps
on
our
own
Narrative,
of
how
we,
how
we
got
to
this
I
think
that's
what
I
always
hear.
D
Yeah
give
the
conversations
that
we've
had
recently
about
big
changes
in
the
community.
I
want
to
be
able
to
put
our
fellow
residents
at
ease
that
this
isn't
as
dramatic
as
it
sounds
where
this
is
right
in
line
with
where
we
are
today.
B
A
Themselves,
because
they
have
coax
cables
taken
Mass,
you
could
have
the
the
antenna
different
jurisdiction
equipment.
We
have
had
our
test
studios
here
for
decades
to
btas
Forever
Channel
7's
been
here,
awesome,
yeah
and
who
cares
if
it's?
Why
should
we
say
anything
about
those
and
two
more
questions
about
different
podcasts,
because
podcasts
people
do
them
in
their
home?
They
do
the
walking
round.
A
G
G
People
are
currently
doing
it
in
their
homes
and
probably
aren't
recording
it
as
like
taxable
income,
but
now
they're
using
these
Like
official
business
faces
it
does.
Is
there
like
an
extra
layer
that
Arlington
you
know,
tax
assessor
can
come
in
and
say,
give
me
all
your
records
and
see
who
lives
in
Arlington
I.
F
Guess
it
would
depend
on
if
they
have
some
sort
of
official
business
or
paycheck
right.
Some
people
just
podcast
as
a
hobby
I
have
a
friend
that
has
like
a
movie
podcast
or
something
obscure
like
that.
So
you
know
if
it's
like
a
big
Studio
trying
to
think
of
I
listened
to
a
lot
of
Freakonomics
I
can't
remember,
that's
a
good
brand
yeah
I
can't
remember
who
produces
them,
but
that
is
a
use
that
would
not
necessarily
be
in
like
a
co-located,
oh
we're
putting
it
with
the
hotel,
but
that's
probably
a
use.
F
A
C
Yes,
thank
you
just
to
clarify
if
you
occupy
a
commercial
space
and
you
need
your
certificate
of
occupancy,
if
you're
a
business,
you
need
to
also
get
a
b-pull
license.
So,
as
a
former
business
entering
a
commercial
space,
that's
the
that's
the
way
that
we
collect
taxes
on
our
businesses.
This
does
not
preclude
home
occupation,
but
I
will
say
home
occupation,
given
what
the
pandemic
has
done.
C
G
I
had
a
follow-on
to
your
question
just
about
like
regulating
the
safety
and
I
understand.
There
are
organizations
that
are
in
charge
of
doing
those
regulations,
and
yet
we've
recently
learned
that
a
new
president
can
come
in
and
gut
all
of
those
regulations
and
the
examples
of
all
the
other
r
d
hubs
that
you
included
are
all
in,
like
very
blue
Nanny
States.
If
you
will,
that
probably
might
have
like
state
level
regulations
that
keep
people
safe,
whereas
Virginia
may
not
have
those
and
Arlington
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
include
extra.
B
Yeah
so
I
agree.
There's
the
building
code
there's
a
fire
marshal,
but
they
still
are
essentially
mitigating.
What's
already
been
allowed
right,
zoning
is
what
keeps
it
out
so
Zoning
for
better
for
worse
right,
hopefully
better
we're
saying
now
you
can
bring
that
in
here
right
and
the
building
code
and
the
fire
marshal
we're
going
to
say
how
to
do
that
safely
right,
but
we're
still
allowing
something
new
in
and
so
I'm
wondering.
If
there's
you
know
some
unintended
consequences
and
hopefully
Upstate
the
same
point
that
you
are.
F
So
they're,
you
know,
other
municipalities
sometimes
include
standards
such
as
you
know,
performance
standards
that
regulate
noise,
odor
fumes,
vibrations,
Dust,
Light
pollution,
hours
of
operation
and
Disposal
and
storage
for
flammable
or
combustible
chemical
or
hazardous
substance.
F
F
It
really
is
just
a
question
of
if
we
think
that
is
the
work
of
our
zoning
ordinance
and
Zoning
administrators
to
to
regulate
in
that
way,
I'm
not
sure
if
they're
experts
in
research
and
development.
So
it's
it's
a
question
of
we
can
we
can
put
those
in,
but
does
it
put
them
in
a
you
know
difficult
position.
F
Are
they?
Are
the
few
standards
enforceable?
How
does
one
measure
vibration
when
you
convert
an
office
to
research
and
development,
or
you
build
a
from
scratch,
research
and
development
building?
They
actually
need
to
have
very
high.
F
They
don't
want
vibration,
so
they
really
need
buildings
that
are
built
so
to
minimize
vibration,
so
they're
already
building
those
things
and
thinking
about
them
when
they're,
transitioning
or
constructing
the
building.
The
labs
also
take
very
there's
four
r
d
space
and
lab
space.
There
are
a
lot
of
really
strict
standards,
around
ventilation
and
and
approvals
for
that
sort
of
thing.
So
I
think
we
could
put
some
guardrails
on
there.
B
A
Exists:
they're
in
very,
very
dense,
they're
in
Colombia
is
sarcasm
and
Philly
has
some
you
know
or
something
Boston
area.
C
D
D
But
I
would
like
to
confirm
that,
because
that
does
guide
a
lot
of
this
conversation
that
we're
having
right
now,
what
sits
in
our
building.
E
So
I
can
just
add
one
of
the
things
that
I
mentioned
sort
of
an
opportunity
to
layer
in
some
historical
narrative
to
address
some
commissioner
appearance
comments.
I
think,
there's
also
an
opportunity
of
some
of
the
broader,
the
broader
regulatory
environment
Peterson.
There
seems
to
be
an
opportunity
to
outline
some
of
this
in
staff
report.
Let
us
let
us
work
as
a
team
collectively
to
say:
okay
r
d,
what
are
some
of
the
and
again
it's
good.
We
could
go
really
deep
on
this.
D
My
ex-husband,
who
worked
at
Darby
and
Lockheed,
struggled
to
find
r
d
space
here
in
Arlington.
He
wanted
to
stay
and
he
has
enormous
grants.
So
I'm
really
happy
looking
at
this,
because
I
think
we
want
him
here
and
his
sort
of
work.
But
my
question
and
forgive
me
if
this
is
too
simplistic.
This
will
allow
us
to
fulfill
some
of
our
groundwork.
Retail
needs,
not
the
RNG,
but
this
yes
yeah.
Definitely
that's
terrific,
because
you
know
that
it's
something
to
struggle
with
how.
A
D
F
D
It's
probably
more
of
an
equivalent
like
a
hotel
lobby
playing
the
space,
sometimes
like,
like
you,
know,
amenity
space
for
our
Apartments.
You
see
people
in
there
all
of
the
time
and
then
I
think
it
goes
sort
of
so
that
sort
of
that's
going
to
meet
your
your
goals.
D
D
G
Go
first
well,
I
pass
it.
Okay,
I
also
want
to
say.
G
I'm
looking
for
date,
night
ideas,
so
the
recreation
and
that
that
spot
looks
great,
so
I
was
interested
kind
of
towards
the
end
of
the
presentation
when
you
talked
about
like
when
you
were
distinguishing,
you
know,
and
this
wouldn't
be
industrial
research
and
development.
This
is
going
to
be
a
smaller
scale
and
there
was
kind
of
an
implicit
value
judgment
that
industrial
would
be
bad
for
for
Arlington.
This.
This
option
is
good,
so
I
think
I'm
trying
to
understand
like.
G
F
So
industrial
is
already
allowed
in
the
industrial
district.
Industrial
research
and
development
is
allowed
in
the
end,
unfortunately,
oh
hold
on
industrial
scale.
Research
and
development
would
be
excellent.
That's
a
a
really
in-demand
space
right
now,
however,
Arlington
does
not
have
faith,
doesn't
have
a
true
Industrial.
Park
doesn't
have
the
space
needed
for
truly
industrial
scale
Manufacturing,
so
you
don't
really
need
to
limit
it
by
building
size,
because
it's
already
limited
by
virtue
of
business
requirements,
the
businesses
that
are
producing
things
we.
F
F
It's
definition
just
says
it
doesn't
include
industrial
scale,
production
or
manufacturing.
So
it's
limited
right
there.
But
then
you
know
the
different.
The
different
operations
really
just
require
different
different
spaces.
G
F
Was
just
this
fits
this
now
because
of
it
yeah?
That's
now
because
of
the
way
buildings
are
changing
because
of
where
businesses
are
locating
their
research
and
development
space,
because
it's
done
by
smart
people
with
Advanced
degrees
who
want
to
live
downtown.
These
r
d
Flex
is
truly
belongs
in
office
in
your
mixed-use
districts,
downtown,
where
you
know
manufacturing
industrial
scale
manufacturing
is
being
done.
You
know
they're
they're
prototyping
it
here
they're,
inventing
the
things
here
and
then
they're
Mass,
producing
it
hopefully
elsewhere
in
Virginia,
but
just
not
here.
F
Right
we
already
allowed
the
The
Artisan
manufacturing,
so
the
3D
printers
the
the
maker
spaces,
and
now
you
could
kind
of
see
kind
of
what
I
was
talking
about
earlier.
You
know
the
co-working
lab
spaces
or
I,
don't
know
small
scale,
Artisan
prototyping
I,
don't
know
those
questions.
B
D
B
F
Though
so
that
one
is
the
Rah
3.2
is
that
office
apartment
hotel,
but
I
believe
it
also
it's
more
of
the
high
intensity
but
I
believe
it
also
that
District,
if
I
looked
at
the
map,
might
also
be
part
of
like
where
the
Amazon
development
is
I
could
be
wrong,
but
I
just
didn't
want
to,
even
though
it's
a
hotel
District
via
its
name,
I,
didn't
want
to
include
the
use,
but
I
wanted
to
put
up
some
guard
rails.
F
F
So
that's
kind
of
what
makes
their
distinctions
and
yeah
there
are.
A
4.8
is
more
of
a
low
intensity,
residential
mixed
use
and
the
Rah
is
kind
of
a
very
silly
small
Hotel
district
that
is
like
minuscule
and
is
primarily
just
for
hotels
and
the
c1r
is
also
a
district
that
is
like
primarily
just
for
like
one-story
neighborhood
service,
like
your
quarter,
deck
interrupt.
Okay,
the.
E
Quarterback
is
81r
and
about
six
other
yeah.
E
F
E
We're
sharing
with
you
that
is
the
zoning
District
having
done
the
finer
Amendment
at
outdoor
cafes
to
that
District
a
couple
of
years
ago.
That's
the
district
that
primarily
Alston
Center
plan,
so
you're
going
to
see
that
in
and
around
Boston
I
believe
the
Harris
Teeter
development
was
partially
resumed
to
RC.
D
E
About
that
yeah
and
and
I
believe
I
I
don't
have
full
historical
knowledge
on
r,
a
h,
r,
a
4.8.
These
are
older
zoning
districts
and,
and
also
were
some
of
the
earliest
tools
that
the
county
adopted
to
implement
site
plan
development
back
in
the
1960s
and
70s.
So
so
oftentimes
in
in
staff
will
colloquially
refer
to
these
as
site
plan
districts
where,
as
a
as
a
precursor
to
development,
a
site
plan
is
required
to
set
the
development
envelope
a
lot
of
our
earliest
site
plan.
Development
is
so.
C
E
D
I
and
I
think
over
time
and
as
we've
become
a
little
bit,
we're
looking
a
little
bit
more
of
mixed
use
in
our
buildings,
and
some
of
these
older
districts
were
a
little
bit
more
singular.
And
if
there
wasn't
any
commercial
War
region
of
retail,
it
was.
It
was
small
and
it
was
just
just
for
that
building
which
I
think
about,
because
we
all
realized
like
it's
a
it's
a
grand
idea,
but
a
larger
population.

Online
sorry
so
I
guess
I
would
just
say
if,
when
do
the
staff
report,
if
you
can
include
a
paragraph
or
or
more
like,
you
were
saying
earlier
about
how
externalities
will
be
mitigated
and
what
sort
of
like
noise
and
noxious
fumes
and
what
a
resident
could
do
if
they
felt
like
their
quality
of
life,
was
being
impacted
by
this
new
regulation,
because
I'm
not
sure
you
know,
with
the
commercial
vacancy
rates
the
way
they
are.
G
If
these
spaces
do
get
filled
up
with
a
research
and
development
facility
where
people
are
mixing
chemicals
and
causing
noxious
gases,
and
then
a
resident
says:
oh
this,
it
stinks
all
the
time
you
know,
but
the
landlord's
like
look.
This
place
has
been
sitting
empty
for
four
years:
I,
don't
care
what
they're
doing
like
I
failed
this
space
and
I'm
getting
a
rent
check
now
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure.
There's
also
have
options.
G

Mr,
chair
I'm,
not
hearing
anyone
in
the
chat
who
has
indicated
they'd
like
to
speak.
Certainly,
if
there's
anyone
in
the
chat,
any
Commissioners
are
otherwise
who'd
like
to
do
so.
They're
happy
to
presumably
you're
okay
with
them
unmuting
themselves
now
to
provide
some
publicly.
H
Hey
there
Hi,
yes,
my
name
is
Malika
scriven
I'm,
the
vice
president
of
Planning
Development
at
the
national
Landing
bid
and
I
just
wanted
to
offer
just
a
few
words
of
excitement.
H
I
think
that
the
county,
exploring
the
ability
to
be
more
flexible
within
these
types
of
use,
categories
that
we
know
have
significantly
evolved
over
time
is,
is
really
important,
especially
for
growing
Urban
downtowns
like
National
Landing,
which
is
inclusive
of
Pentagon,
City,
Potomac,
Yard
and
Crystal
City,
and
so
I
know
that
as
we're
exploring
how
we're
trending
forward
to
be,
you
know
one
of
the
fastest
growing
most
connected
Innovation
districts
in
the
country.
H
It's
these
types
of
uses
that
will
require
a
lot
more
flexibility
in
consideration,
because
we're
ultimately
looking
to
be
you
know
a
more
vibrant
and
Innovative
place
and
is
through
these
types
of
incremental
changes
to
the
zoning
ordinance
that
can
really
help
help
get
us
thinner.
So
I
wanted
to
just
commend
the
county
for
your
exploration
in
understanding
how
these
uses
can
really
offer
further
vibrancy
in
our
Urban
downtown.
B
D
B
All
right
with
that,
what
are
our
next
steps,
so
this
is
going
to
the
Planning
Commission.
