[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So just reading over an email on our neighborhood listserv, and Penrose, hold onto your hats! An office building is going to be repurposed to Affordable Housing! You can thank the Planning Commission. The owner of the building wanted to demolish the building and build town homes. But we can't have that land go to "waste" along Columbia Pike, so Affordable Housing it will be. Just 7 stories of it, probably all family-sized units. Will it be zoned Fleet or Hoffman-Boston? Apparently, we can't have any schools in South Arlington that aren't Title 1.

Wait what? [b]Why can’t the owner decide what happens to the land?[/b] What building? Can we get a little more info?[/quote]

Because all of the land in the county falls under the Comprehensive Master Plan that specifies how every parcel can be used and what the building restrictions are on it. You think anyone can just build anything wherever they want? [/quote]
Well no shit, but I’m not seeing the difference in Zoning residential multi family. Why not allow th’s, but green light apts?[/quote]

Because the 20,000 units of AH called for in the AHMP have to be realized somewhere, and it's not going to be in Bellevue Forest. [/quote]

Funny you mention BF. That's where the county mgr who was one of the architects of AH planning in Arlington county back in the 1980s lives/d.[/quote]

It was not an accident that I mentioned BF. It's also not funny, given the racial covenant that governed that neighborhood in particular and the historical practices that continue to affect county land use decisions across the county. [/quote]

PP. as near as I can tell, almost every NA neighborhood, except Hall's Hill, had a racial covenant.[/quote]
