Height and Density In Contest at Courthouse West Development Site
The height and density of the land directed under the General Use Plan released by Arlington County is in contest. Residents have expressed their opposition to the proposed increase from a low-rise “service commercial” dwelling which allows the building to be up to 4 stories, to “Office-Apartment-Hotel.” This designation would allow the development to be between 6 and 16 stories high.
A vote is scheduled for mid-July to allow more density to the site and to allow increased hight. Neighbors have expressed concern about the height and density of the project, concerned it could set a trend for other developments in the area.
In a survey hosted in December, three options were provided, 6, 10, and 17 stories, and about half of respondents, in total about 175, choose the six-story option.
