I. SPONSORS

The Fairfax County Department of Planning and Zoning (DPZ) is the primary sponsor of the Lincolnia

ULI mini-TAP. While DPZ is the primary point of contact for the study, DPZ staff is working closely with

other Fairfax County agencies such as the Fairfax County Department of Transportation, along with the

Mason District Supervisor’s Office in order to support the ULI team.

II. ASSIGNMENT

A) PROBLEM STATEMENT:

DPZ is interested in evaluating the benefits and challenges of designating an approximately 200-acre

portion of the Lincolnia Planning District as a Community Business Center (CBC). See section “V.

Governmental Role” subsection “C. County” for further information on CBCs and the Comprehensive

Plan. The potential CBC is located within Fairfax County along Little River Turnpike (Route 236)

between the existing Annandale CBC (also a designated revitalization area) and a recently re-planned

Landmark Mall within a neighboring jurisdiction to the east, the City of Alexandria. Interstate 395 is a

significant barrier between Fairfax County and the majority of the City of Alexandria. With respect to

potential future connectivity, the City of Alexandria has adopted plans for an east-west Bus Rapid

Transit system along Duke Street (Route 236) connecting the redeveloped Landmark Mall with the King

Street Metro station. Landmark Mall would also host a stop on a north-south Bus Rapid Transit system

along Van Dorn Street/Beauregard Street connecting the Pentagon with the Van Dorn Metro station.

The City of Alexandria is aware that Fairfax County is interested in exploring extending the Duke Street

BRT into Fairfax County along Route 236 to N. Beauregard Street. The socio-economic, racial, and

ethnic makeup of the potential CBC and surrounding areas is very diverse. The current housing stock

within the potential CBC is mostly affordable market-rate rental units. Many of the businesses and

services in the area cater to the existing residents and are locally owned.

B) QUESTIONS FOR THE PANEL:

Corridor Planning/Regional Context/Connectivity:

How can synergy among the potential Lincolnia CBC, the Annandale CBC, and the areas to the

east in the City of Alexandria be leveraged to create a vibrant mixed-use area?

What regional or national examples are there of potential redevelopment that highlight

appropriate development intensity and scale, as well as appropriate transitions to nearby

neighborhoods?

What opportunities exist to enhance connectivity, including pedestrian and bicycle connectivity

1) between the potential CBC area and from the surrounding neighborhoods, especially along

Route 236 connecting to points west and east 2) and within the potential CBC area?

Affordable Housing and Social Equity:

How can redevelopment be used as a tool to preserve and expand affordable and workforce

housing?

Page 4 of 40

How can the current businesses and services that serve the current population in the area be

retained should this area redevelop?

Economic Impact:

From the economic development perspective, what are the benefits in designating the area in

question as a CBC and what might be the market future if this area is not designated as a CBC?

Given the recent commercial trends, particularly commercial space trends, what general mix of

uses might facilitate economic success of this area, should the area be designated as a CBC?

III. HISTORY OF THE STUDY AREA

General

Lincolnia is an ethnically and racially diverse area, with development that is older and more densely

developed than most other parts of Fairfax County. Many Lincolnia neighborhoods were built in the

1950s and 1960s, or earlier. Little River Turnpike, bisecting the study area, was built in the early 1800s

to connect the northern Virginia farms and countryside with the port and market of the City of

Alexandria. In the past 50 years, Route 236 has evolved into a significant commercial corridor, with the

Lincolnia segment connecting to points of activity to the west including I-495 and Annandale as well as

to points to the east including I-395 and Alexandria. Along Route 236, there are three garden-style

apartment complexes built in the 60s. Two 1960s era strip shopping centers, Plaza at Landmark and

Brighton Mall (Grand Mart), anchor commercial uses to the east. Tenants at these centers have evolved

over time from traditional retail to vibrant international markets, along with longtime standard

franchise stores, reflecting the changing demographics of the region. Smaller retail, office and

institutional uses are spread out along Route 236’s remaining frontage as well as along N. Beauregard

Street. In the more recent past, Lincolnia has become a home to many immigrants, some of whom

were refugees. This is one of the factors that has led to the broad ethnic and racial diversity of Lincolnia.

Residents of Hispanic origin also make up a significant portion of the population, more than in the

larger Fairfax County.

Immediately to the east are properties within the City of Alexandria with a variety of uses including

hotel, office, retail and high-rise residential (condominiums and apartments), as well as several

institutional uses. Most of the development in Alexandria was built in the 1980s or earlier.

Planning

The larger Lincolnia Area, as well as the potential Community Business Center area has not been

comprehensively studied for 25+ years. In 2013, the Board of Supervisors authorized a study of the

Lincolnia Planning District. The first phase of this study concluded in 2015 with publication of an

existing conditions report and editorial updates to the Comprehensive Plan for the Lincolnia Planning

District. The second phase of this study is ongoing, with a community task force currently being formed

to address the question of establishing a Community Business Center and subsequent potential

substantive changes to Comprehensive Plan guidance. The task force will begin meeting in February of

2017. For additional information on the currently adopted planning guidance, please see section “V.

Governmental Role”, subsection “C. County”. In 2009, during the county’s Area Plans Review process,

Page 5 of 40

the owner of the roughly 23 acre Plaza at Landmark retail center, which is about 412,000 sf of mostly

retail use developed at an intensity of about .4 FAR, submitted a nomination to add a mixed use

redevelopment option. The requested uses included 611,000 sf office, 470,000 sf retail and 750,000 sf

residential use, or 715 dwelling units. After detailed analysis, staff did not support the proposal due to

resulting traffic impacts that could not be adequately mitigated by the nominated site alone. The

nomination was withdrawn.

IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA

A) PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

For a series of maps displaying the existing built and natural environment along with the planned built

and natural environment, please see Appendix Figures 1-9.

The potential CBC is approximately 200 acres. It is bounded on the east by the City of Alexandria and I-

395, on the north by N. Beauregard Street and Lincolnia Road, and low density residential

neighborhoods to the northwest. The potential CBC is bounded on the west by Chowan Avenue, and on

the south by Evangeline Lane and 8th Street. Little River Turnpike (Route 236) serves as the main

commercial corridor through the area, running east-west. North Beauregard Street is a smaller but still

heavily travelled road intersecting with Route 236, running north-south connecting to several major

arterials and activity points to the north including Mark Center federal office building. Interstate 395

and its Route 236 interchange serves as an eastern boundary for this part of Lincolnia.

Some slivers of land exist between the

study area and I-395 are within the City

of Alexandria (see map to the right).

This city land is mostly commercial uses

consisting of hotel uses, as well as high

density residential. On the eastern side

of I-395 in the City of Alexandria is the

Landmark Mall redevelopment project,

an approved significant node of activity.

See section “VI. Additional Information”

for details on the redevelopment

project.

About 2.5 miles to the west along Route

236 is Annandale, a 240 acre

unincorporated area within the county.

Annandale is designated in the

Comprehensive Plan as a Community

Business Center (CBC) and is planned

for an intense mix of uses to

complement its existing 2 million square feet of commercial development. Annandale CBC is also a

Page 6 of 40

Community Revitalization District, a Zoning Ordinance overlay district providing greater flexibility in

applying regulations and a speedier development review process.

Existing Land Use

The existing land use (by development gross square footage) is mostly residential. The vast majority

(95%) of residential development is multi-family, mostly garden-style apartments. The non-residential

development is mostly retail in character with some office and institutional uses.

Bicycle Plan

According to the Fairfax County Bicycle Route map, there are no existing bicycle facilities within

the study area. However, there are several bicycle facilities planned.

The Bicycle Master Plan designates Route 236 as a Policy Road, meaning the road requires

further study is needed to determine the appropriate facilities. In 2016, the road was studied

Land Use (gross square feet)

Multi-family 2,283,767 72%

Townhouse 111,316 4%

Office 132,885 4%

Retail 584,451 18%

Institutional 76,319 2%

Total 3,188,738 100%

Page 7 of 40

and the long-term recommendation for Route 236 within the study area was for construction of

protected bike lanes.

Lincolnia Road is recommended to provide a buffered bike lane.

N. Beauregard Street is recommended to provide a sharrow, a slightly wider traffic lane painted

to indicate shared bicycle use of the roadway.

Just outside the study area, Turkeycock Run Stream Valley is recommended to provide a shared

use path from Route 236, crossing under I-395 to connect to points east such as Edsall Road,

Backlick Run and Van Dorn Metro.

Trails Plan

According to the Fairfax County Trails Plan, Route 236, N. Beauregard Street and Lincolnia

Road are all recommended to provide major paved trails of asphalt or concrete 8-10’ wide.

Just outside the study area, Turkeycock Run Stream Valley is also planned to provide a major

paved trail, as mentioned in the Bicycle Plan.

Transportation Plan

According to the Fairfax County Transportation Plan, Route 236 is recommended to be widened

to 6 lanes from its current 4 lanes.

The intersection of Route 236 and N. Beauregard Street is planned for a full interchange.

Special Features

The Lincolnia Senior Center is located within the potential CBC on North Chambliss Street, a quarter

mile north of Route 236. The Senior Center, built in 1988, is owned by Fairfax County and provides three

main functions: 1) The Senior Center provides social services to older county residents, including

classes, health and wellness programs, computer/internet access, trips and tours as well as socialization

opportunities. The Senior Center attracts 100 to 150 visitors a day, with less on the weekends; 2) The

Senior Center also is home to Lincolnia Residences, a 26 unit assisted living affordable housing facility

for seniors; 3) Finally, the Senior Center also includes an adult day healthcare center offering daytime

supervised care for seniors.

The Turkeycock Run Stream Valley traverses the western edge of the study area and connects to a

Fairfax County Park Authority owned property. For the location of this property, see “Figure 3 Existing

Land Use” map in the Appendix. See the “Figure 7 Environmental Features” map in the Appendix for

the location of the stream valley and associated Resource Protection Areas.

D) HOUSING

i. Existing Housing

Generally speaking, the potential CBC area is planned as developed.

There are 1,874 multi-family units, 60 townhouses and 3 single family detached.

i. 97% of residential units are multi-family.

The multi-family units are rental apartments within 3 complexes along Route 236.

Crystal Woods is on the south of Route 236 and has 344 garden-style units.

i. Community amenities include a renovated clubhouse including gathering areas,

business center and fitness area, pool and playground. The grounds are well

maintained.

ii. In-unit amenities include newly renovated units with granite countertops,

cherry cabinets, stainless appliances, tile backsplash. Hardwood and ceramic

tile flooring, washer and dryers.

iii. http://crystalwoodsapts.com/

Morningside is to the east and includes a mix of garden (506) and high-rise (173)

apartments with 679 total units.

i. Community amenities include a tennis and volleyball courts, pool and

playground.

ii. In-unit amenities include granite countertop in kitchens and baths. Some units

have washer/dryer while others have shared facilities.

Page 12 of 40

iii. http://livelerner.com/lerner-morningside

Arbor Park, on the north of Route 236 includes 851 mostly garden-style units. Some of

these units are townhouse-style apartments.

i. Community amenities include a renovated clubhouse including gathering areas,

business center and fitness area, pool and playground. The grounds also seem

to be recently improved.

ii. In-unit amenities (some units) include upgraded kitchens with granite

countertops, ceramic tiles, stainless appliances. Some units have washer/dryer

while others have shared facilities.

iii. http://www.udr.com/washington-dc-apartments/alexandria/arbor-park-of-

alexandria/

All 3 complexes are older, built in the 1960s.

Immediately outside the study area are mostly single family detached and townhouses.

Abutting City of Alexandria land includes mostly high-rise condominiums and

apartments

ii. Rentals

Almost all (97%) residential units in the study area are rentals.

The study area has 1,874 multi-family rental units. There are 63 single-family units

(townhouses and detached). Of these 63 units 83% are owner-occupied. Source: Fairfax

County Department of Tax Administration.

There are 3 apartment complexes in the study area.

Averaged across all 3 complexes, a one bedroom rents for $1,350, two bedroom for $1,600

and a three bedroom for $1,950.

The rents for the Morningside Apartments are about $100 less than the average for Fairfax

County while Crystal Woods are about $100 more than the average. These differences are

likely explained by the lack of unit amenities in Morningside and the more recent

renovation of Crystal Woods and amenities such as in-unit washer and dryers.

Page 13 of 40

iii. Rentals Comparable

There is significant competition

from nearby apartments. A Zillow

search of rentals within approximately a

mile of the potential CBC revealed

almost 20 apartment complexes.

Most of the nearby apartments

seem to be similar to the study area’s

Arbor Park and Morningside, older with

fewer amenities.

Roughly a quarter of the

competing market seems to be more

similar to the study area’s Crystal

Woods, more recently renovated with

more amenities. Some complexes have

been built more recently, within the

past decade or two.

Averaged across the 19

competing apartments, the competing

market seems to have slightly higher

rental list prices. See chart below.

Page 14 of 40

It should be noted that all rental list prices were skewed downwards at the lowest list price

specified for the given bedroom count. This difference increases with apartment age and the

availability of modern amenities. The average list prices shown above were calculated from the

lowest list price of each apartment.

Older apartments generally had a $100-150 spread above the lowest listing.

Newer apartments generally had a $300-700+ spread above the lowest listing.

These differences in rental prices have enormous impacts on housing affordability within the

study area.

E) COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT

i. Existing Commercial

Generally speaking, the potential CBC area is planned as developed.

There is just under 800,000 square feet of existing commercial space. The vast majority of

this space is retail use. See chart below.

The Plaza at Landmark includes several tenants

that can be considered anchors. These include

Shoppers grocery store, Ross discount department

store, Marshall’s discount department store, and

Dollar Tree discount variety store.

Brighton Mall includes two tenants that can be

considered anchors. The Grand Mart ethnic

grocery store and 99 Depot Plus discount variety

store.

An initial analysis of the tenants indicates that

about half are local businesses and half are part of

national or large regional chains.

In addition, a number of the businesses seem to

cater to the local ethnically diverse/immigrant

community.

The office space is concentrated in 3 locations. A 2-story office condominium on N.

Beauregard Street north of Route 236, a 3-story office building on N. Beauregard Street

south of Route 236, and 2-story townhouse-style office condominiums at the western end

of the study area along Route 236.

1 Bed 2 Bed 3 Bed

Study Area apartments 1,356$ 1,576$ 1,953$

Competing apartments 1,374$ 1,634$ 2,051$

Difference (18)$ (58)$ (98)$

Rental List Price Comparison: Study Area VS Competition

Page 15 of 40

As shown in the Appendix, Chart 1 Business Summary, there are almost 170 businesses in

the study area, with almost half being services, and a quarter being retail trade.

ii. Competing Commercial

As indicated in the map above, within 1.5 miles there are 7 shopping centers (blue icons) of

the study area’s 2 shopping centers (red icons). Four of these 7 shopping centers also have

grocery stores.

These competing centers are of various sizes and have different ages, business and tenant

mixes.

V. GOVERNMENTAL ROLE

A) FEDERAL

As part of the 2005 Federal Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, a number of Department of

Defense agencies and their associated thousands of employees were moved to Mark Center. Mark

Center is within the City of Alexandria about 2.5 miles north of the study area and is a concentration of

office, residential, hotel and retail use. The traffic related to Mark Center affects the Lincolnia study

area, mainly along N. Beauregard Street.

B) STATE

Express Lanes

The Virginia Department of Transportation is conducting the I-395 Express Lanes project to extend the

I-395 Express Lanes for eight miles north from Turkeycock Run near Edsall Road to the vicinity of Eads

Page 16 of 40

Street in Arlington. The two existing HOV lanes (or High Occupancy Toll) lanes will be converted to

express lanes and a third lane will be added, providing three reversible express lanes. The

improvements primarily will be built within the existing footprint of the I-395 HOV lanes. The project

published an Environmental Assessment in September 2016 and is still in the design phase. I-395’s full

interchange Route 236 will be rebuilt, which will affect the study area. This may be an opportunity. The

project website has additional information:

http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/northernvirginia/395_express.asp

Proffer Reform Legislation

Virginia Code, Section 15.2-2303.4 (Provisions Applicable to Certain Conditional Rezoning Proffers),

went into effect on July 1, 2016 and limits the ability of local governments to request or accept proffers

related to new residential development as part of certain rezoning and proffered condition amendment

applications. However, the law specified certain criteria that could exempt areas within local

jurisdictions from the provisions of this legislation. One of the exemption criteria is stated below:

An approved small area comprehensive plan in which the delineated area is designated as a

revitalization area, encompasses mass transit as defined in § 33.2-100, includes mixed-use

development, and allows a density of at least 3.0 floor area ratio in a portion thereof.

Although this legislation focuses on limiting the ability to request or accept some proffers, it may have

an effect on crafting and implementing Comprehensive Plan recommendations that pertain to

residential uses in areas subject to the legislation. Currently, the study area is subject to the proffer

legislation requirements. Designating the study area as a Community Business Center, served by mass

transit and a revitalization area with mixed use at a 3.0 FAR planned for a portion of the area would

make it exempt for the proffer legislation provisions.

C) COUNTY

General

The potential Lincolnia CBC is within Fairfax County, Virginia. Fairfax County operates under the urban

county executive form of government. The powers conveyed to the county by Virginia are vested in an

elected Board of Supervisors including 9 members elected by district, plus a chairman elected at-large.

Mason District

The study area is within the Mason District, whose elected official is Supervisor Penelope A. “Penny”

Gross. The Mason District has support staff, which includes land use and transportation aides. The

Mason District Land Use Aide is Ervin Uriarte and his role is to support Supervisor Gross with planning

studies, zoning applications and other land use and development related issues. Mason District

website: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/mason/

Lincolnia Planning District Study

The Lincolnia Planning District Study was authorized by the Board of Supervisors in 2013. In support of

the Board authorized motion, at the time of this report, Supervisor Gross was creating a community

Page 17 of 40

task force to review the existing planning guidance for Lincolnia and recommend changes, if any. Study

website: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpz/lincolnia/

Comprehensive Plan

Concept for Future Development

The Comprehensive Plan’s Concept for Future Development establishes broad categories of planned

development use and character for all land in the county. The study area (and its surrounding area) is

currently designated as a Suburban Neighborhood. This designation emphasizes the predominantly

residential character of the area and suggests guidelines which will help maintain this character by

restricting potentially incompatible land uses and/or land use intensities. Roughly 90% of the county is

designated Suburban Neighborhood or the other residential category, Low Density Residential Area.

The commercial uses along Route 236 are currently planned to be restricted in extent and intensity.

Community Business Center

The Lincolnia Planning District Study, and this ULI mini-TAP are considering designating an area of

Lincolnia as a Community Business Center (CBC). CBC’s are described in the Comprehensive Plan’s

Land Classification System as:

“Historically older community-serving commercial areas that emerged along major roadways,

Community Business Centers (CBCs) are areas where redevelopment should encourage a mix of uses

focused around a core area of higher intensity, such as a town center or main street in a pedestrian-

oriented setting. Transitions in intensity and compatible land uses should protect surrounding stable

residential neighborhoods.

Appropriate revitalization and selected redevelopment advance the goal of sustaining the

economic vitality in older commercial centers and adjacent neighborhoods. Revitalization efforts

should also seek reinvestment in these communities and aim to foster a sense of place. There may

be a particular need to address aging infrastructure.

CBC’s should emphasize design that advances pedestrian amenities and circulation.

Given limited transportation infrastructure, a balance of retail, residential and office uses should

optimize the generally older road networks that provide access to CBCs. Where appropriate, a mix

of uses is encouraged to create a more vibrant environment throughout the day.”

CBCs are one of the 4 types of mixed use centers designated across the county. See the Appendix’s

Map 11 Fairfax County Concept for Future Development Map. Nearby CBCs include Annandale, Baileys

Crossroads and Seven Corners.

The existing detailed Comprehensive Plan guidance for the potential Lincolnia CBC and the larger

Lincolnia Planning District is found here:

VI. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Stakeholders

Identifying study area stakeholders is something of a challenge. There is no Chamber of Commerce or

business group serving the study area. There is no civic group representing residents of the study area,

since most residential are apartments. Despite this, there are several stakeholders the panel may reach

out to. A Lincolnia Study task force will have been formed by the time of the mini-TAP. The task force

chairman, or individual members may offer useful insights. In addition, there are two townhouse

developments in the study area, Landmark Property (Shackelford Terrace) and Lincoln Mews (Nancy

Hanks Court & Robert Todd Court). To staff’s knowledge, they do not have homeowners associations.

The largest commercial property in the study area is the Plaza at Landmark owned by Landmark HHH

LLC. Finally the Lincolnia Senior Center is the only public facility and a major social center for the study

area. The senior center is run by the Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community

Services. See the Appendix’s Contact sheet for various Fairfax County staff contacts.

Lincolnia Study’s Additional Outreach

Staff is conducting additional outreach efforts to residents through Fairfax County Public Schools and

Neighborhood and Community Services. Materials will be provided in Spanish. In addition, outreach to

retail tenants will occur. To begin the study, staff conducted the Lincolnia Land Use College, a 3 session

(6 hours total) class to educate residents about the Fairfax County development process and how to

shape development in their neighborhoods.

City of Alexandria Coordination & Development Projects

Due to the proximity of the City of Alexandria to Fairfax County’s Lincolnia, as well as the function of

the transportation corridors, coordination of planned efforts and development between the two

jurisdictions is extremely important. This coordination is summarized below:

Staff from the county and the city have held several coordination meetings regarding planning

and development activity in areas near our respective borders.

The Lincolnia Study has notified, in writing, Alexandria staff, as well as civic associations and

commercial land owners within half mile of the study area.

There are several near and long term development and transportation projects in the City of Alexandria

to take note of:

Bus Rapid Transit

The West End Transitway is a BRT system planned to run north-south along the Van

Dorn/Beauregard corridor. It would connect the Van Dorn Metro station with Landmark Mall,

Shirlington, Beauregard residential area and the Pentagon. There would be a combination of

dedicated and shared lanes.

The Duke Street Transitway is a BRT system planned to generally run along Duke Street. It

would connect Landmark Mall with King Street Metro station and Old Town.

Page 19 of 40

Landmark Mall

The Landmark Mall redevelopment project is a significant node of activity that was approved by

the city several years ago. It will replace a traditional indoor mall with a mixed use residential

and retail community laid out on an urban street grid with amenities and open space.

The development seeks to build 250-300,000 sf of retail and restaurant use along with 350-400

apartments. The developer recently purchased additional land, so these figures may increase.

Beauregard

The Beauregard Small Area Plan creates a vision for development along N. Beauregard Street

from Seminary Road to a little past Sanger Avenue, a length of a little over a mile.

The West End Transitway would connect the area with Pentagon to the north and Van Dorn

Metro to the south. The area would become walkable with mixed use.

The 3+ million sf Mark Center offices is envisioned to be integrated with additional office, retail,

hotel and residential uses. Market-rate affordable housing makes up almost half of the area’s

5,500 existing units. The plan recommends 800 new units be committed as affordable and

workforce rental housing.

The issues facing Beauregard SAP are similar to those facing Lincolnia.

Eisenhower

The Eisenhower West Small Area Plan creates a vision for a 620 acre area of the city southeast

of and bordering the Lincolnia area. The plan allows for growth in residential use and a mix of

uses including office, hotel, retail and industrial uses.

The area would be served by the West End Transitway and would add or enhance several road

and trail connections to the Lincolnia area.

Significant amounts of new residential development along the county’s border would replace

heavy and light industrial uses of today and provide a connection to Van Dorn Metro.
