James, Director RZ/FDP 2009-PR-002 DATE: February 13, 2009 PLANNING AREA: ACREAGE: 2959, Cluster II 4.64 acres TAX MAP: 49-1 ((13)) PROPOSAL: Rezone property from the I-4 District to the PRM, Planned Residential Mixed-Use District, to permit an 11-story multi-family residential building containing 305 units. COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning area is within the Shrevewood Elementary, Kilmer Middle, and Marshall High school boundaries. The chart below shows the existing school capacity, enrollment, and projected five year enrollment. School Capacity Enrollment (9/30/08) Projected Enrollment Capacity Balance Projected Enrollment Capacity Balance The rezoning application proposes to redevelop the area with an 11-story multi-family residential building containing 305 units. Currently the area is developed with three industrial/office buildings. The chart below shows the number of anticipated students by school level based on the County-wide student ratio. Multi-family highrise ratio Proposed number of units Elementary Middle High total SUMMARY: A total of 23 students are anticipated from this rezoning based on the County-wide student ratio. Based on the approved proffer formula guidelines, the students generated would justify a proffer contribution of $265,604 (23 students x $11,548) in order to address capital improvements for the receiving schools. It is recommended that all proffer contributions be directed to the pyramid

2 2 and/or to Cluster II schools that encompass this area at the time of site plan approval. It is also recommended that notification be given to FCPS at the time of site plan approval and/or when construction is anticipated to commence in order for FCPS to include the timely projection of projected students into its five year Capital Improvement Program. There is insufficient capacity projected for Shrevewood and Kilmer for the school year and also for the school year there is projected to be insufficient capacity at all of the receiving schools. The capacity deficit at these schools is anticipated to be further exacerbated from approved residential rezonings that have not been constructed, APR nominations with proposals to add or increase residential development, and recommendations from the Tysons Land Use Task Force to increase residential densities. All of these would impact Shrevewood, Kilmer, and Marshall. The approved residential rezonings that not been constructed are shown in the chart below. The anticipated number of students is based on the current County-wide student ratio.

The charts below were submitted to the Department of Planning and Zoning as part of FCPS s school impact analysis on the proposed APR nominations to show the potential student for each APR nomination. Anticipated student s are based on the current County-wide student ratio.

FCPS has recommended the need for two new school sites in the Tysons area to accommodated the anticipated student growth. s from the approved rezoning applications, proposed APR nominations, and increases in density in the Tysons Corner area are not insignificant and are anticipated to contribute to a capacity deficit at these receiving schools. As stated above, FCPS strongly recommends capital improvement commitments from the developer and future developers in this area in order to address projected capacity deficits.
