ARLINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA County Board Agenda Item Meeting of July 19, 2014 DATE: July 11, 2014 SUBJECT: Adoption of final Urban Design Guidelines Applicant: VNO Pentagon Plaza, LLC By: John G. Milliken, Attorney Venable LLP 8010 Towers Crescent Drive, Suite 300 Vienna, Virginia 22182 C.M. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached resolution approving the final Urban Design Guidelines ISSUES: The approved Pentagon City Phased Development Site Plan required the County Board to adopt the final Urban Design Guidelines. There are no known issues. SUMMARY: The Pentagon City Phased Development Site Plan (PDSP) amendment for was approved by the County Board on September 21, 2013. As a companion to the PDSP approval, guidance for future development on the site is to be provided by the Urban Design Guidelines (design guidelines) following the submittal of a Final Site Plan. The design guidelines were vetted and developed through the Site Plan Review Committee (SPRC) process, in which elements related to circulation, open space and buildings were discussed. Following the approval of the PDSP amendment, County staff has worked with the applicant to finalize modifications to the design guidelines, discussed at the September 21, 2013 hearing, for final review and approval by the County Board. County Manager: ##### County Attorney: ***** Staff: Jason Beske, CPHD, Planning Division 48. B.
The approval for includes development of up to 1,809,000 square feet of office, 50,000 square feet of retail and 300 hotel units (a portion of the office space may be developed as 300 residential units) spread over five (5) buildings. In addition, approximately two (2) acres of open space will be developed on the site. Development is likely to occur in phases via the submittal of multiple Final Site Plans. Upon submittal of a Final Site Plan application, the design guidelines will be the primarily means with which the plan is evaluated during the SPRC process. Subsequent to the approval of the PDSP, there were two (2) items that required further modification prior to final approval of the design guidelines by the County Board. First, any references to the development of a secure facility were to be placed in the appendix of the design guidelines as opposed to the main body of the document. The County Board did not support approval of a concept plan that included a secure facility, but did recommend including provisions in the appendix of the design guidelines for the consideration of a secure facility at the time of submittal of a Final Site Plan. Second, staff was asked to examine modifications to the architectural standards portion of the design guidelines in relation to a sculpting factor concept. This report outlines the recommended changes to the design guidelines that were approved by the County Board during their September 21, 2013 hearing. Staff recommends that the County Board adopt the final Urban Design Guidelines, which reflect the changes. BACKGROUND: The following provides additional information about the site and location: Site: The subject site is located in the Pentagon City Metro Station Area on the block generally bounded by Army Navy Drive to the north, S.

Neighborhood: is located in Pentagon City near Aurora Highlands and Arlington Ridge. The site is also adjacent to Crystal City and a number of condominium buildings are located nearby. Representatives from the Civic Associations and a number of the adjacent condominium buildings were part of the SPRC for and participated in the review of the design guidelines. DISCUSSION: Following the approval of the PDSP amendment for on September 21, 2013, the County Board directed staff to incorporate changes to the design guidelines related to two (2) primary elements discussed during the public hearing. The first area of incorporation is the inclusion of design standards related to the potential addition of a secure facility within the site. The second area is related to the investigation and possible inclusion of changes to the architectural standards within the design guidelines; particularly the concept of a sculpting factor related to building design and massing. The following discussion outlines the changes and modifications made to the design guidelines following approval of the PDSP amendment by the County Board. Secure Facility: The first area of revision in the design guidelines was to incorporate recommendations by the County Board that would move any reference to a development concept that includes incorporation of a secure facility to the appendix of the design guidelines. Early draft versions of the design guidelines included two (2) distinct sections; one section with a scheme that included no secure facilities, and a second that included one (1) secure facility on Land Bay B-West. During the approval of the Pentagon City PDSP amendment for, staff supported a main concept plan for that includes no secure facilities, which was affirmed with the County Board s approval. However, staff did recommend that a secure facility may be considered for development within the site given certain design considerations. Staff recommended inserting the following table (Table 1) into the secure building appendix of the design guidelines (page 102) that includes twelve (12) Elements for Consideration in Siting a Secure Facility. The Elements provide a means of evaluating a variety of design- and use-related criterion to consider when and if a Final Site Plan for a secure facility is proposed for. Table 1: Elements for Consideration in Siting a Secure Facility 1. Building standoff distances 2. Moving planned or built streets 3. Closing planned or built streets to vehicular traffic 4. Adjusting the location and size of secure office building footprints 5. Adjusting adjacent building footprints 6. Limitations on ground floor uses 7. Changes to building design/architecture for the purposes of building hardening 8. Secure parking with limited to no public parking 9. Adjustments to parking ratios that result in reduced parking 10. Moving the location of planned open space SP#105 Pentagon City PDSP - 3 -
11. Design and use of the planned open space 12. Reduction of total land area of publicly-accessible open space Also at the September 21, 2013 hearing, staff recommended, and the County Board approved the removal of any references to the incorporation of a secure facility in the concept plan for from the primary sections of the design guidelines. Instead, the County Board decided that any secure facility references be moved to the appendix for future consideration once a potential Final Site Plan for a secure facility on the site is submitted. Also, any references to a secure facility included in the Plan Set, submitted as part of the application, were to be removed. The following tables outline the modifications made by the applicant following approval of the PDSP amendment by the County Board. Table 2 illustrates recommended changes to the design guidelines discussed by the County Board at its September 21, 2013 hearing. The table includes the page number from the August 28, 2013 draft design guidelines with each recommended change, as well as the page number and modification made to the January 16, 2014 draft design guidelines that is the subject of this report.

The plan would allow for: Up to 1,809,000 square feet of office space (no more than one building on 12 th Street). Up to 300 hotel rooms. Up to 300 residential units on 12 th Street (replacing up to 420,000 square feet of office square footage). Up to 50,000 square feet of ground floor retail and service uses. Potential for a community amenity of up to 20,000 square feet at A-East or B-East. The County Board has also affirmed the B-West parcel of as an acceptable location for a secure office building. Since the exact future requirements for a secure facility at this location were not known at the time of approval of the amendment to the PDSP and these Design Guidelines, the Secure Building Illustrative Plan shown in the appendix provides just one option for siting a secure SP#105 Pentagon City PDSP - 4 - Modification made to incorporate recommended change in the January 16, 2014 Draft Design Guidelines Moved to Page 103 Moved to Page 103 Bullet removed from Page 27 Language added to Page 27

The Secure Building Option appendix of these Design Guidelines sets forth a series of elements a future Board would review and consider when evaluating a Final Site Plan for a secure facility on the B-West parcel, with the assumption that a building setback of up to 82 feet should only be pursued if such a setback is required and if other design tradeoffs that could reduce this setback are not practical. Move the One Secure Office Building Option image to the Secure Building appendix Move the One Secure Office Building Option image to the Secure Building appendix Move the One Secure Office Building Option image to the Secure Building appendix Move the One Secure Office Building Option image to the Secure Building appendix Remove references to No Secure Office Building Option and include as extension of the Concept Plan Include the following language: The Secure Building Illustrative Plan shown in Figure XXX (referenced to a secure facility concept moved to this section from the concept plan section) and the further guidance provided in this chapter represent one potential set of design solutions at time of approval that will allow for the siting of a secure facility with up to an 82- foot setback if such a setback is required and other design tradeoffs that would reduce this setback are not practical, on Land Bay B-West of. However, as future overarching building security standards, individual tenant requirements, and available building technologies were unknown at the time of approval of the amendment to the Pentagon City PDSP and these Design Guidelines, the future consideration of a Final Site Plan for a secure building on Land Bay B-West should consider a number of critical elements of building and site design, as outlined in Table XX (Elements for Consideration in Siting a Secure Facility), that are potentially impacted by secure building requirements. The design review process of a Final Site Plan secure building will have the stated goal of providing the reasonably least impact on the quality of site through a reasoned balance of building and site design tradeoffs, while fully recognizing the design parameters created by security requirements and the economic feasibility of building construction.

In addition to recommended design guidelines and plan set modifications, Condition #106 was added to reference the review of a secure facility and the elements that are to be considered at the time a Final Site Plan is submitted for review. The condition specifically references the secure appendix of the design guidelines, as well as the Elements for Consideration in Siting a Secure Facility table. 106. The developer agrees that if a final site plan application is filed that proposes a secure facility on the B-West parcel, such a proposal will be subject to review and approval by the County Board, to be reviewed at the time of Final Site Plan considering, among other things, the elements set forth in the Secure Building Appendix of the Design Guidelines (and specifically the Elements for Consideration in Siting a Secure Facility table provided in the Design Guidelines) which will be considered in the context of the specific secure facility proposed. Other considerations by the County Board may include, but need not be limited to the economic development activities that provide desirable employment and enlarge the tax base that will be generated by the proposed project. In the event of the approval of a site plan containing a secure building, the loss of value of any open space and other impacts shall be addressed as part of the site plan. Following approval of the PDSP amendment by the County Board, the applicant has made all changes approved by the County Board to the design guidelines and plan sheets, both of which are reflected in the final documents submitted to the County on January 21, 2014. Architectural Standards: The second item that was considered for modification in the Urban Design Guidelines was the architectural standards section. The Planning Commission proposed an amendment to the approval to add a new condition that establishes a work group comprised of experts, Planning Commissioners and the public to explore the concept of sculpting factors with the goal of better defining sculpting factors so that they are made both more easily implemented and understood. Per the discussion of the County Board, it was agreed that there would be no need for an additional condition to address the amendment proposed by the Planning Commission. However, it was recommended that County staff convene a work group to explore the sculpting factor concept and possible incorporation into the architectural standards section of the design guidelines. Subsequently, staff met with a work group comprised of a subset of the SPRC on two separate occasions. Staff and working group members explored potential methods for incorporating a sculpting factor that would achieve the goals of the SPRC for building design. Through this work, it was determined that the sculpting factor was not a good fit within the architectural standards and that there should be no such incorporation in the design guidelines. CONCLUSION: Following the adoption of the Pentagon City PDSP amendment for, staff has worked with the applicant to implement modifications to the design guidelines recommended by the County Board in regard to a secure facility. The applicant has made all changes recommended by the County Board for a secure facility and has revised the design guidelines accordingly. In addition, staff convened a working group of SPRC representatives to further explore the concept of a sculpting factor within the architectural standards of the design guidelines. Upon further review, the working group and staff determined that a sculpting factor SP#105 Pentagon City PDSP - 6 -
for the design of buildings for the site was not a good fit and therefore proposed no further modifications to the design guidelines related to this item. SP#105 Pentagon City PDSP - 7 -
