Strunk, Director Zoning Evaluation Division Fairfax County Department of Planning and Zoning 12055 Government Center Parkway, Suite 801 Fairfax, Virginia 22035 Re: Application to Rezone Land in the Tysons Urban Center Georgelas, LLC (the "Applicant") Tax Map 29-1 ((25)) 1 and 2 ("North Spring Hill Station" and the "Property") Dear Ms. Strunk: This letter serves as a statement of justification for a rezoning application on 7.08 acres of land located north of the Spring Hill Metro Station (the "Metro Station") in Tysons. A companion rezoning application by the Georgelas, LLC has also been filed on nearby property identified as Tax Map 29-1 ((1)) 17, 17B, 17C, and 29-3 ((1)) 55 and is referred to as West Spring Hill Station. This rezoning and Conceptual Development Plan (CDP) application (the "Application") proposes to rezone the Property from the Highway Commercial (C-8), Medium Intensity Industrial (I-4), and Highway Corridor Overlay (HC) Districts to the Planned Tysons Corner Urban (PTC) and HC Districts. The Property is currently developed with multiple warehouse/quasi industrial uses, as well as a vehicle sales and service establishment and telecommunication facilities. Built in 1974, the existing structure includes 147,074 SF of gross floor area ("GFA"). The Applicant seeks to transform the Property, referred to as "North Spring Hill Station", from its low rise industrial form into a vibrant, transit oriented, and mixed-use neighborhood. I. Application Area The Property is located on the north side of Tyco Road, in proximity to the Spring Hill Metro Station (the "Metro Station"). It extends from Tyco Road north to the Dulles Toll Road ("DTR"). Land to the east is developed with industrial condominium units. To the west is a single story industrial building. To the south across Tyco Road is property zoned to the PTC District as a part of the Spring Hill Station Demonstration Project.

VA 22201-3359 LOUDOUN 703 737 3633 • WOODBRIDGE 703 680 4664 Page 2 The existing conditions are outlined in the following chart: Tax Map ID Zoning Land Area (acres) Existing Use North Spring Hill 6.51 (283,699 SF) Vehicle Sales & 29-1 ((25)) 1 C-8, 1-4, HC Service, Industrial 29-1 ((25)) 2 1-4 0.57 (24,852 SF) Telecommunications Total 7.08 (308,551 SF) Approximately half of the Property is located between 1/8 and 1/4 mile from the Metro Station, with the remainder located between 1/4 and V2 mile from the Metro Station. To better coordinate redevelopment of the area and achieve a more complete street grid, the Application has been coordinated with the West Spring Hill Station rezoning application located to the west along Tyco Road. The two applications have coordinated developments plans with regard to street grid, parks and pedestrian connections. II. Zoning History On November 11, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved RZ 2014-PR-013 and companion application SE 2014-PR-040 on the Property. The rezoning application rezoned the Property from the 1-4 and HC Districts to the C-8, 1-4, and HC Districts, with proffers. The special exception permitted a vehicle sales, rental, and ancillary service establishment in the area rezoned to C-8. III. Overall Vision The planning vision for the combined North Spring Hill Station and West Spring Hill Station applications seeks to transform the existing car dealerships and quasi-industrial uses into a vibrant community with an exciting array of uses, including office, retail, hotel, multi-family residential and public/open space areas, all with access to the Metro Station. Close proximity to the Metro Station offers an excellent opportunity to promote transit, cycling and walking as viable alternatives to the car. The Applicant's proposal for North Spring Hill Station will replace the majority of the existing low-rise structure with high-rise buildings and structured parking that will make better use of the Property's location and help transform Tysons Corner to an urban transit-oriented development.
