Coordinated Frontage 119 Y but LRPC found this an acceptable alternative Plan calls for coordinated frontage along east side of Center
frontage. The LRPC indicated that, as the provision of two buildings in lieu of the one building on a podium shown in the Plan is an acceptable/preferable alternative, the provision of a coordinated frontage is not necessary. Surface Transit 57 Y but LRPC found this an acceptable alternative The street section for 18th St. identified in the Plan includes a dedicated street car/transit lane. The project proposes to provide the street cross-section recently approved with the Block G2 redevelopment. The LRPC indicated that following the guidance approved with the Block G2 site plan on the other side of 18th St. is appropriate. Services & Loading 111 N Plan calls for services/loading on 20th St. near Crystal Drive but says alleys should be provided wherever possible. (Proposed alley for services and loading.)

Building Heights 94, 95 N Plan calls for 300’ absolute maximum height. “Flexibility, if any, should only be considered in instances where the resulting redevelopment significantly furthers plan goals…” (Both buildings proposed at approx. 299’.) Bulk Plane Angle 97 N/A No requirements for this site per the Plan. Tower Coverage 99 N Plan calls for tower coverage allowable of 85% of net buildable area. (North and South buildings under 85%.) Tower Separation 94 N Plan calls for separation greater than 60’ between building towers above the 5th floor. (Separation of 63’ or more is proposed.) Land Use Mix 103 Y but LRPC found this an acceptable alternative Site located in the “Central Business District.” Plan calls for minimum 70% office. Current use mix is 83.4% office. Proposed use mix varies depending on the scenario. Plan does call for addition of more residential overall in Crystal City. The LRPC supported the proposed residential use, given that an
The LRPC would like the overall land use mix to be tracked by staff.

Parking 72, 73 TBD Final site plan will determine calculations.
Base Density 93 N Plan calls for residential density of 4.8 FAR (Proposed 5.04 FAR includes LEED bonus.) Architectural Features 119 TBD – will be discussed during SPRC portion of meeting Plan calls for architectural feature on 18th Street/Crystal Drive corner of N. building.

Build-to-Lines 47 Y but will be discussed during SPRC portion of meeting Proposed build-to-lines of 100’ building face to building face is not achieved on 20th Street. The LRPC found that the proposed build-to-line was acceptable given the placement of the BNA building which is not identified for redevelopment in the Plan and is not expected to redevelop in the near future, but deferred final support pending the outcome of the SPRC process.

Public Open Space 79, 83 N but will be discussed during SPRC portion of meeting Plan calls for 74,200sf open space, which the applicant is proposing to provide in two phases linked to redevelopment. The LRPC will review the small green extension linking Center Park to 18th St. which will be discussed during the SPRC portion of this meeting.

Street Network 51 Y Project proposes the addition of new alleys to break up the block, with new vehicular access from Crystal Drive. The Plan supports the addition of alleys to support service, loading, and parking access as proposed with north/south midblock connection. Vehicular access from Crystal Drive, however, was not envisioned in the Plan. The LRPC agreed with the Plan guidance that supports the inclusion
the E./W. connection, the LRPC supported a connection to Crystal Drive at this point, but recommended further discussions at the SPRC meetings/with DES staff to discuss its form and function (pedestrian

Street Sections Crystal Drive 63 Y The project proposes providing a 59-foot street section along with a minimum 15’ to 18’ sidewalk consistent with the Plan. 18th Street South 66 Y The street section for 18th St. identified in the Plan is 75’ curb to curb and includes a dedicated streetcar/transit lane. The project proposes to provide a street cross-section of 55’ curb to curb recently approved with the Block G2 redevelopment. The LRPC indicated that following the guidance approved with the Block G2 site plan is appropriate, but wanted further discussion during the SPRC process regarding whether right-of-way once envisioned for the streetcar on 18th St. should be reserved for a future transit option. 20th Street South 67 Y The street section for 20th St. identified in the Plan is 61’ curb to curb and includes 4 travel lanes along with on-street parking on both sides of the street. The project has proposed a street section of 52’ curb to curb. The proposed section will allow the street to operate with 3 lanes along this block until the delivery of Central Park. At that time, the parking lane could be converted to a travel lane or remain as a parking lane. Staff supports the proposed modification to the street section.
