Crystal City - Phased Development Site Plan (PDSP)

Phased Development Site Plan (PDSP)

Redevelopment should be organized at the block level, or at a scale that does not preclude achieving the Plan improvements. The landowner(s) on each block should submit and gain approval for a joint Phased Development Site Plan (PDSP) for the block on which their site or sites are located before or concurrent with the first site plan application for an individual development project... In order to ensure that future redevelopment in Crystal City takes place in a well-balanced manner, the Phased Development Site Plan process should be used to outline the appropriate phasing and timing of development relative to the achievement of critical public infrastructure specific to that PDSP.

Center Park

Center Park, located at the intersection of Clark-Bell and 20th Streets, is intended to be the centerpiece of Crystal City, and to act as a focal point for all surrounding activities. Envisioned as an open space with a civic character, it will be the largest park in Crystal City with a target size of 74,200 square feet.

Community Space

CC Action 34: Provide Civic Services In addition to community amenities and infrastructure, polling places, a school, a fire station, a police sub-station, a recreation center, a library and

• ther civic services are also necessary to building a truly mixed-use

community that is safe, secure, self-reliant and vibrant CC Policy Directive LU 6 Create tools and incentives to establish a strong presence of desired cultural and community-oriented facilities (such as theaters, large format grocery stores, day care and medical facilities) in the core of Crystal City.

11

Affordable Housing

CC Policy Directives H1) Increase the committed affordable housing stock in Crystal City by developing implementation tools that encourage the provision of on-site or nearby off-site affordable units. H3) Maximize a stock of committed affordable housing within Crystal City. To the extent that a developer’s affordable housing commitment is not met by providing such housing within the Crystal City Planning Area, work to ensure that such housing is provided as close to Crystal City as feasible. H4) Apply the Affordable Housing Ordinance and create special provisions for increased Zoning Ordinance density that achieve up to 20 percent of Gross Floor Area (GFA) above the 2008 GLUP as committed affordable dwelling units, to increase Crystal City’s affordable housing stock, and allow affordable dwelling units to be provided in new or existing buildings.

12

Transportation

CC Action 14 Manage the reconstruction and reconfiguration of Crystal City’s recommended Street and Transit Networks over time by strategically sequencing projects based on levels of priority as identified in the County Capital Improvements Program (CIP) and the ability to execute such projects with or without the redevelopment projects necessary to physically accommodate such construction.
