Agenda
| 7. | SP #13 Site Plan Amendment to add Crystal Houses to the existing Crystal Towers site plan and to construct a new multifamily building of up to 252 units on an existing parking lot in the RA6-15 zoning district under ACZO §15.5.3.A. The property is approximately 16 acres; located at 1900 & 2000 S. Eads St. (part of RPC #36-018-014). The proposed density is 67.3 units per acre. Modifications of zoning ordinance requirements include: number of parking spaces, percentage of compact parking spaces, and other modifications as necessary to achieve the proposed development plan. |
| 8. | Adoption of off-street parking policy for site plan and Unified Commercial/Mixed-Use Development (UCMUD) use permits for multi-family buildings in the Rosslyn-Ballston and Jefferson-Davis corridors, and related recommendations: The proposed policy is intended for use by the County Board in considering whether to approve reductions in minimum parking requirements in residential site plan projects and UCMUD use permit projects, and consists of the following elements: |
1. Minimum parking requirements for market-rate units ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 spaces per unit depending on distance from the nearest Metro station entrance (ranging from 1/8 to ¾ of a mile);
2. Minimum parking requirements for 60%-of-AMI and 50%-of-AMI committed affordable units set at 70% and 50% of the market-rate minimums respectively, and no minimum parking requirements for 40%-of-AMI units;
3. Reductions of up to 50% of the minimum parking requirements in exchange for providing bike parking, bike share, and/or car-share amenities on site, in addition to those already required in base TDM requirements;
4. A separate visitor parking requirement of 0.05 spaces per unit for the first 200 units, which was added in response to concerns about spillover parking;
5. Allowances for shared parking between different land uses in mixed-use projects;
6. Allowances for meeting parking requirements through the dedication of spaces at existing garages located within 800 feet of the new building and in the Metro corridors;
7. Mitigation requirements for provision of parking in excess of 1.65 spaces per unit; and
8. Relief from minimum parking requirements for constrained sites. The related recommendations are that the County Board:
1. Direct the County Manager to explore options for streamlining the approval process for shared parking arrangements between two site plan or UCMUD projects
2. Direct the County Manager to review and recommend improvements to the Residential Permit Parking Program (a review is already underway).
3. Direct the County Manager to review the County’s on-street parking meter fees and hours of operation for the purpose of managing on-street parking demand.
4. Direct the County Manager to explore amendments to the Zoning Ordinance for “Multiple-family Dwelling and Commercial District†(“R-Câ€) districts.
5. Direct the County Manager to explore similar policy for Site Plans, use permits, and form-based code applications in the Columbia Pike and Lee Highway areas following the completion of the Residential Permit Parking Program review.
6. Direct the County Manager to explore amendments to the by-right minimum parking requirements in the Zoning Ordinance following the completion of the Residential Permit Parking Program review.
