rosslyn sector plan update

3 INTRODUCTION

The Rosslyn Sector Plan Update (RSPU) will focus on a study area of approximately 300 acres surrounding the Rosslyn Metrorail Station in Arlington, Virginia (see Figure 1). The overall goal of the RSPU is to guide future public and private investment over the next 20 years in Figure 1: Rosslyn Sector Plan Update accordance with a refined vision for the Rosslyn Metro Station Area (RMSA), from this point Study Area Map forward referred to as Rosslyn or the RMSA.

The 1992 Rosslyn Station Area Plan Addendum established a vision of Rosslyn as a first class urban center and premier office district that is a vibrant place to live, work, and play. The end result will be a Rosslyn which: • Serves as a proud gateway into Arlington and the Commonwealth of Virginia. • Is a vibrant place to live and work with ample opportunities for shopping, recreation and cultural activities. • Is home to the regional and national headquarters of major corporations and is seen as one of the premier office locations in the country. • Has superior architecture and is an example of the best in urban design. • Is a place where people are comfortable with their surroundings and which serves as a great stage for human activities.

Notable progress has been achieved over the past twenty years. Redevelopment of major projects from the 1960s and 1970s has added a new residential and hotel presence to Ross- lyn’s core, enhanced the office market, and added a new vibrancy to street level retail in certain areas. Other changes, such as the opening of the Artisphere, early phases of the Esplanade project, deconstruction of the skywalk network, and the addition of three high- speed elevators to the Rosslyn Metro Station will also support future investment and growth.

As a result of these successes, the RSPAU planning process will be carried out with dedica- tion to the vision as well as the land use planning components set forth in the 1992 addendum. However, the focus will be to provide guidance for four specific problem areas: • A better urban design framework to create a Rosslyn that is a more attractive and functional place to be; • A more specific and deliberate building heights strategy to help the County prioritize its goals for Rosslyn’s skyline; • A refined multimodal transportation system consistent with current Master Transporta- tion Plan policies to support the enhanced accessibility of Rosslyn’s residents, workers, and visitors, while providing rights-of-way that will accommodate Rosslyn’s future district energy needs; and • A more cohesive and functional parks and open space network to meet the recreational needs of Rosslyn while enhancing its public realm.

This briefing book was developed to offer planning participants with a clear and detailed context from which the planning discussion will emerge. Offering a collection of historical background information, existing condition materials, and plans, policies, and laws, the briefing book may be read as a narrative document. However, it can also be viewed and used as an evolving reference guide, to be consulted and also built upon throughout the

planning process. ROSSLYN BRIEFING BOOK 4 HISTORY OF THE STUDY AREA

INTRODUCTION TO ROSSLYN

The Rosslyn Metro Station Area (RMSA) lies across the Potomac River from Wash- ington, D.C. and is considered a primary central business district of Arlington County. Rosslyn’s boundaries include portions of the North Rosslyn and Radnor/ Fort Myer Heights civic associations and the Colonial Village condominium. A key gateway to Arlington County since the 1840s, Rosslyn has long been a center of activity and commerce along the Potomac River. After the Civil War, Rosslyn was home to drinking establishments and a haven for gambling and vice. By the dawn of the 20th century, successful concerted efforts by local leaders and law enforcement to close illegal businesses significantly improved Rosslyn’s reputation.

From 1896 to 1941, Rosslyn was a hub for an electric commuter rail service with connections to areas such as Alexandria, Mount Vernon, McLean and Great Falls. Around the 1930s an influx of government workers led to a dramatic rise in the County’s population, which increased demand on the existing housing market. This resulted in the construction of 176 Federal Housing Administration- supported garden apartment communities throughout the County, including in Rosslyn. Rosslyn, Pre-1970s, View South from Rosslyn Circle Source: CPHD photo collection The Rosslyn Metro Station Area is centered around the Rosslyn Metro Station, a major hub of transportation activity on the Orange and Blue Metrorail lines. In the early 1960s, Rosslyn was home to an assortment of pawn shops, lumber yards, oil storage tanks, vacant lots and other marginal uses, as well as approximately 2,500 housing units. At that time, Arlington County began applying in- novative special exception site planning processes whereby private developers were allowed to develop at much greater densities than otherwise allowed, as long as they adhered to a County-approved master plan.

The first Land Use Plan and site approval procedure for Rosslyn redevelopment was adopted in 1961. The 1977 Rosslyn Transit Area Study was completed 16 years later.

The Rosslyn Station Area Plan Addendum, adopted by the County Board in 1992, outlines a strategy for a more functional, urban and livable place. In 1996, the Board adopted the “C-O-Rosslyn” zoning district, a new zoning classification to be used to implement the goals of the station area plan and addendum. The “C-O-Rosslyn” district allows the County Board to approve additional density up to a maximum of 10.0 FAR (floor area ratio) when it finds the development Rosslyn, Pre-1970s, View North Towards Key Bridge proposal offers important community benefits identified in approved plans for Source: CPHD photo collection the area. This level of density is only allowed in the “Rosslyn Coordinated Rede- velopment District” designated on the General Land Use Plan and for sites that

Within Rosslyn Farmer’s Market. the 288-acre Rosslyn Metro Station Area, the tree canopy covers 62 acres, or almost 22 percent. However, within the smaller 65-acre commercial Rosslyn serves as the eastern bookend of the well-known Rosslyn-Ballston core, the Rosslyn Coordinated Redevelopment District (RCRD), there are Corridor, and it is a well traversed gateway between Washington, D.C., only 3 acres of tree canopy (4 percent of the RCRD). Arlington County, and the Commonwealth of Virginia. At a regional level, Rosslyn’s vitality derives from its close-in location to the nation’s capital and Rosslyn is also home to three separate subwatersheds: Rosslyn, Colonial accessibility via a network of regional and interstate highways, Metrorail Village Branch, and Rocky Run. Proximity to the Potomac, high levels of service, and local and regional bus service. impervious surface, and minimal tree cover make watershed management an important consideration in planning and new development. Rosslyn is bordered on the east by Interstate 66, the George Washington Memorial Parkway (and associated National Park Service property) and Property Ownership Patterns the Potomac River, which surrounds Theodore Roosevelt Island - accessible from the Mount Vernon Trail. The Courthouse Metro Station Area is situated The RMSA includes parcels ranging in size from 1,850 square feet located in to the west of Rosslyn.

19 ROSSLYN EXISTING CONDITIONS parks and open space

Parks and Open Space Overview

The Rosslyn Metro Station Area offers a selection of parks and both public and privately-owned open space with public access. In addition, Rosslyn is surrounded to the north, east, and west by federal land with open space zoning, namely Roosevelt Island, Iwo Jima Memorial, and Arlington Nation- al Cemetery. These areas are identified in Figure 19 and are as follows:

Public Parks • Gateway Park 3 acres • Rosslyn Highlands Park 1.61 acres • Hillside Park 1.33 acres • Fort Myer Heights Park 0.16 acres • Dark Star Park 0.4 acres • Belvedere Park 0.1 acres • Rhodeside Green Park 0.1 acres Dark Star Park, 1655 Fort Myer Drive County Parks on Privately Owned Land recreational public space. Uses and activities at the public parks and pri- • Freedom Park vate open spaces include arts and cultural programming, especially at • Crandall Mackey Park Gateway Park which is home to events including the Rosslyn Jazz Festival • Annie’s Park (permanently closed for Central Place construction) and the Rosslyn Outdoor Film Festival; tot lots and other youth-oriented play • Metro Park areas at Fort Myer Heights and Rosslyn Highlands Park; passive and restive elements such as benches, ornamental gardens and landscaping and tree Arlington County’s public parks total to more than 7 acres of passive and canopy preservation at parks such as Hillside Park, Rhodeside Green Park, Freedom Park, Dark Star Park, and Belvedere Park, and recreational facilities at Rosslyn Highlands Park (basketball) and Fort Myer Heights Park (basketball and volleyball).

There are also a number of other public and privately-owned spaces, many of which are plazas and elevated terraces, which function as key elements of Rosslyn’s public realm. These include the following: • Key Boulevard Community Garden • Waterview Terrace • Bennet Park public terrace (elevated) • Bennett Park “alley” public space • Oak Street open space • Pedestrian easement at the Atrium • Pedestrian easement at The Gallery Apartments • Colonial Terrace Public staircase on Nash Street

The impact and attractiveness of Rosslyn’s parks and open space is dimin- ished by many challenges. Concerns have been identified such as poor Fort Myer Heights Park, 1400 Fort Myer Drive access - often heightened by grade separation and intersections which ROSSLYN BRIEFING BOOK

20 parks and open space ROSSLYN EXISTING CONDITIONS

are difficult for pedestrians to navigate - particularly those located on the periphery of the RCRD, such as Dark Star Park, Gateway Park, and Free- dom Park. Pedestrian access to the federal parks is also challenged by navigational issues including limited wayfaring signage and heavily used intersections and thruways. In contrast, there are also parks in which over exposure to urban elements and inadequate seating and amenities limits usage. Finally, the parks located outside of the RCRD in the residential areas enjoy high usage and high demand; however, there is a shortage of active recreational facilities such as ball fields, tennis courts, and basketball courts.

28: Existing Building Heights in the RCRD

The current pattern of building heights in the center of Rosslyn generally reflect two periods of development: projects built and approved before and after the mid-1990s. Since the 1960s, most buildings in the RCRD had been approved under the “C-O” Zoning district. The current maximum heights under “C-O” are 153 feet for office and 180 feet for residential, which are largely reflected in many of the buildings existing in the RCRD. There are several exceptions to this rule, generally including buildings that were approved by the County Board with modifications to building height. Central Place 1812 Residential However, in 1996, the Arlington County Zoning Ordinance N. Moore was amended to include a new zoning district eligible for Street properties within the RCRD. Section 25B. “C-O Rosslyn” districts includes provisions that allow buildings to reach a maximum height of 300 feet, with additional height permitted in the two Central Cental Place blocks adjoining the Metro Station. Place Office The tallest buildings in the RCRD have mostly been built since 1996, and under “C-O Rosslyn” zoning. Waterview, 1801 N. Lynn Street, and Turnberry Tower all reach 300 feet and are zoned “C-O Rosslyn”. 1000 and 1100 Wilson Blvd. also reach 300 feet, although they were approved and built in the 1980s. Though not yet built, 1812 N. Moore and JBG’s Central Place approved site plans will include the tallest buildings in the RCRD, generally topping out at approximately 384 and 387 feet, respectively.

38 housing characteristics ROSSLYN EXISTING CONDITIONS

Rosslyn Housing Figure 38 New Census data emerging from 2010 Census reports that the Rosslyn Metro Station Area includes 6,624 housing units, with a margin of error (MOE) of 456 units. Of these 6,624 units, the large majority of these units are renter occupied, and 28.5%, or 1,890, of the units are owner occupied. This distribution of owner and renter occupied units is in contrast with the County, where there is a larger proportion of owner occupied units (43.3%).

Many of these housing units were built before 1960, with a second wave occurring again in the 1980s. The aging housing stock in this area has created the conditions that are preparing the way for yet another wave of development now and through the rest of this decade. Figure 39

Rosslyn Affordable Housing Availability

Of the 4,734 rental units, 472 units, or 10 percent, are committed affordable units. Although there is no public housing in Arlington County, there are several privately owned apartment complexes where rents are subsidized.

The complexes identified on the following pages have some units built, ac- quired or renovated with public funds. As a result, they must set aside units specifically for low or moderate income households at varying levels of af- fordability. These complexes are all privately owned and operated. Some will maintain waiting lists, others might simply rent out affordable units as they become available.

When development of a site within the Revitalization Area of the Fort Myer Heights North Special District includes an application for site plan approval, the County Board may approve up to 3.24 FAR if the development proposal substantially furthers the intent of the goals and objectives of the Fort Myer Heights North Plan. Site plan projects will be expected to meet the goals in the Fort Myer Heights North Plan, including the provision of affordable housing, the preservation of historic buildings, the provision of open space and contributions to the tree canopy. Additional density obtained from the Conservation Area may be used in a site plan redevelopment project if the building height and site design recommendations outlined in this Plan are addressed.

Rosslyn GLUP History

The Arlington County Board has endorsed a land use policy that concentrates high-density development within the Metro subway corridors and preserves lower-density residential areas throughout the County. This policy has evolved from an extensive citizen participation process. It is designed to ensure that Arlington is a balanced community of residential, recreational, educational, shopping and employment opportunities with good transportation supported by a strong tax base and effective use of public funds. The maps and descriptions below illustrate how the General Land Use Plan has changed since origi- nally adopted in 1961.

Rosslyn GLUP, 1961 Rosslyn GLUP, 1964 Rosslyn GLUP, 1966

The 1961 Plan used a color keyed system of 13 land use categories, and designated several large areas requiring further study as “Undetermined Use.” In Rosslyn, the GLUP generally showed much of the area as “Apartments & Offices”, “ High-Medium Residential”, “Neighborhood Shopping” and “Gen- eral Business”. In the 1964 GLUP, the Loop Road concept around the core of Rosslyn is depicted for the first time. Other changes in Rosslyn through the 1966 GLUP are limited. ROSSLYN BRIEFING BOOK

Rosslyn GLUP History

Rosslyn GLUP, 1975 Rosslyn GLUP, 1979

In the 1970’s, the planning focus in Arlington shifted to the future development of the Metrorail transit corridors. In 1973, the County Board adopted a new legend for the General Land Use Plan that doubled the number of residential categories, decreased the number of commercial and industrial categories from five to three, introduced the “Office-Apartment-Hotel” heading, and revised the “Public” and “Semi-Public” designations. After much public discussion, the County Board adopted major land use changes for the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor. (12/7/74). In comparison with the GLUP maps of the 1960s, the 1975 and 1979 GLUPs for Rosslyn show a slightly more refined pattern of land use designations. The Rosslyn Metro Station and Gateway Park appear on the GLUP for the first time, and the core area was primarily designated “High” Of- fice-Apartment-Hotel. Previously undetermined areas around the periphery of Rosslyn were designated with specific uses. rosslyn sector plan update

Rosslyn GLUP History

Rosslyn GLUP, 1983 Rosslyn GLUP, 1987

Between 1979 and 1983, policy recommendations and land use changes were adopted for all of the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor Metro Station Areas. Very few changes in land use designations were adopted for Rosslyn between 1979 and 1983. In 1986 the County Board adopted a new format for the General Land Use Plan, amending the legend and adding extensive text on planning policy, processes and special programs. Several changes in land use designations were adopted for Rosslyn between 1983 and 1987 indicated in the maps above. More specifically, several properties north and south of Wilson Boulevard east of N. Pierce Street were amended from “High Residential” to ““High” Office-Apartment-Hotel during this period.

Several major changes to the GLUP map for Rosslyn took place since 1987. In the updated 1996 GLUP, the Rosslyn Coordinated Redevelopment District (created that same year) appears on the map along with Note 15. By 2004, several other special districts are added, including the Radnor Heights East Special District (Note 17). Finally, between 2004 and 2011, several additional amendments were adopted. The Fort Myer Heights North Special District was added to the GLUP, which falls within both Rosslyn and Courthouse. On the eastern Central Place block across Moore Street from the Metro Station, the extent of areas designated “High” Office-Apartment-Hotel and “Public” were revised, as part of the site plan approval for Site Plan 335 in May 2007. rosslyn sector plan update
