Key Take-AwaysCounty & School Owned Land
38
Supply for essential services
• At space capacity with many current facilities
• Available land with proper zoning highly limited, especially in North Arlington
• Some facilities are overburdened or becoming obsolescent
Demand from Growth
• More land and seating capacity for schools
• Puts pressure on existing County facilities
• Burdens infrastructure
• Essential services require more resources
Strategic Planning
• Balance all interests
• Needs list exceeds current CIP – must prioritize
• Must fund ongoing maintenance in addition to expansion
• Accommodating all needs requires coordinated planning & co-location

Constraints
• Existing traffic volume on S.

• Poor building condition
• Non-central location
• Scenic easement, Natural
Resource Conservation Area
(NRCA) & Resource Protection
Area (RPA)
• Community concerns about
possible impacts to traffic,
adjacent residential properties
and schools in the vicinity
Opportunities
• Master plan site to
maximize space and
provide buffer to adjacent
uses
• Public ownership of
environmentally sensitive
areas
• Large size and contiguous
building area allow multiple
uses with greater flexibility
Site CharacteristicsVHC Agreement / Lee Highway

SITE DATA
Total Site Area: 2.39 ac. (1.07 ac on north side; 1.31 ac on south side)
GLUP: Service Commercial, Low Residential
Zoning: C-O, C-1-O, R-6, C-1
Existing Uses: Bank, Daycare Facility, Medical Offices, Retail
Opportunities
• Existing uses serve
community needs (medical
office, daycare, commercial)
• High visibility, access to
transit and North Arlington
location could
support achieving other Arlington County goals
• On-going
Lee Highway planning
effort can inform potential development
Constraints
• Existing leases, varying terms
• Parcels are small and abut
single family residential
properties
• Zoning and GLUP
designations are not
compatible with public uses
• Existing buildings aged and
unsuitable for repurposing for
essential services such as
storage and staging
• Access limited and busy
intersection
• High land costs

• Visibility from N. Quincy St.
• Proximity to residential uses
• Small portion zoned R-5 (0.5

Opportunities
• Current zoning supports
essential operational and
support services
• Opportunity to swap land
for other strategic properties
• Centralized location better
serves North Arlington area
• Adaptive re-use of buildings
and surface uses reduces
need for utility relocations
• Can accommodate
