6045 Wilson Boulevard: Feedback on Special Land Use Study Document
A General Land Use Plan (GLUP) amendment can be requested to accommodate the development of a property. A Special GLUP Study is needed when there is insufficient existing planning guidance for the subject property -- either there is no adopted plan including the property, or the requested GLUP amendment is inconsistent with the guidance of the relevant adopted plan, per the Special GLUP Study Resolution.
County staff is reviewing a request related to a parcel located at 6045 Wilson Boulevard between North Livingston Street and North Lebanon Street. The property owner has requested to change the GLUP designation from “Service Commercial” and “Low” Residential (1 – 10 units/acre) to “Low-Medium” Residential (16 – 36 units/acre), with an associated rezoning from C-1 and R-6 to RA8-18. The site is occupied by a three-story commercial office building. The applicant wants to redevelop the site into townhouses.
The draft Study Document for the 6045 Wilson Boulevard Special General Land Use Plan (GLUP) Study summarizes the analysis, findings, and recommendations from the study process so far and is informed by input received from the Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) and the community. Through this process and analysis, staff concluded that consideration of a GLUP Amendment to “Low” Residential (11 – 15 units/acre) or “Low- Medium” Residential (or a combination of the two) and a rezoning from C-1 and R-6 to R 15-30T are appropriate, which should be further evaluated and confirmed by the County Board in the context of a future site plan application.
Review the draft Study Document.
Share your feedback by Sunday, February 16.
Please note that should the Arlington County Board accept the Special GLUP Study Document and authorize advertisement of a GLUP amendment, the applicant would have to proceed through the site plan review process, which includes additional community engagement about the specifics of the proposed plan.
We look forward to hearing from you!
