1Long Range Planning Committee Meeting June 23, 2014
CCBP – M -1
(the Crystal Plaza Block)
6.23.2014Block Plan Purpose
2
• Purpose - To facilitate coordinated and incremental redevelopment that arrives at sector plan vision, does not preclude future achievement of planned improvements for surrounding sites, and considers interests of all parties on the block
• Relationship to Sector Plan - An updated long-range planning vision for specific blocks in Crystal City, over time. Intent of block plan is to confirm that proposed site plan advances or does not preclude sector plan goals.
• Opportunities to Amend - block plan updates will be required for all future site plan submissions and will be evaluated against most recently adopted block plan where refinements to the vision have been made. The sector plan will otherwise apply.
6.23.2014Meeting Purpose
• LRPC #3 - review proposed Crystal City Block Plan, Block M
• Work towards determining whether there is:
A) General LRPC consensus that a block plan scenario* (or scenarios) meets sector plan goals and is ready to inform the SPRC review of final site plan
orB) General LRPC consensus that major issues are outstanding with the block plan scenario(s)* and should be addressed before SPRC commences
• Next steps going forward to be informed by outcome of this meeting
*For area of block plan outside of final site plan area3
6.23.2014Block Plan Scenario(s)• Currently, 3 block plan scenarios proposed (down from ~12)
• Potential benefits of having just one scenario:- one scenario may more clearly convey to the public the preferred vision- same approach as having one illustrative concept plan in Sector Plan - multiple scenarios could potentially confuse, and dilute the vision- multiple scenarios may unintentionally convey fewer possiblescenarios for the vision than are possible through future amendments- others?
• Potential benefits of having more than one scenario:- accounts for potential big changes in public infrastructure that may be preferable to that depicted in the Sector Plan- may increase chances of agreement among multiple owners on block - others?
• Staff continues to consider pros and cons, and is interested in LRPC input as to preferences for including one or more than one block plan scenario

Retail Frontage &Underground Issues
• Zero retail frontage provided along 23rd
Street/Clark Bell Market Plaza* (all scenarios)
(*Updated concepts for north edge retail liner would provide partial retail frontage, but would also reduce plaza size)
• Limited retail frontage along 23rd Street due to length of office lobby frontage (all scenarios)
Initial Staff Observations of CCBP
Sector Plan Retail Frontage map
Block Plan Scenario 1-4(w/ retail frontages noted)
= required retail frontage

Architectural Feature IssuesInitial Staff Observations of CCBP
• Lack of building at northern edge of 23rd and Clark-Bell plaza precludes opportunity for coordinated frontage (all scenarios)
= coordinated frontage

Service and Loading IssuesInitial Staff Observations of CCBP
• Proposed garage access location along 23rd Street is not preferred location (all scenarios);
• However, proper amount and locations of access points should be informed by detailed traffic studies associated with the site plan
= preferred street frontage locations for garage andloading access points
