01.29.18 2. CCBP Background • Crystal City Sector Plan calls for block-level planning analysis - Specifically references “Phased - Development Site Plans (PDSPs)” • In developing “C - O Crystal City” zoning, major obstacles with using PDSPs to implement Sector Plan were identified - Fragmented parcel ownership - Inability to condition property of others - Uncertainty regarding consent • Crystal City Block Plan (CCBP) process was developed to address these issues • CCBPs help to ensure that: - Crystal City develops consistent with Sector Plan vision - Proposed new buildings do not preclude future planned improvements - Systems and infrastructure continue to function during redevelopment - Focus is maintained on timing of community improvements 6

01.29.18 2. CCBP Overview What is a CCBP? - A general, guiding long-range plan for a single block in Crystal City, east of Route 1, depicting existing and proposed general building locations, land use mix, tower coverage, public open space and facilities, transportation and other infrastructure , etc.. When is a CCBP needed? – Rezoning to C-O Crystal City. How is it finalized? - Adopted by County Board as supplemental guidance to Crystal City Sector Plan. Does not create new entitlements . 2 CCCBPs adopted to date. What will the LRPC review encompass? - LRPC review will focus on the Crystal City Block Plan Document. • Base maps, analyses, and supporting information • Culminates in proposed Block Plan scenario map(s) showing how the block could ultimately develop in the future and how it and the final site plan would achieve Sector Plan goals for the block. * Submission also includes Block Development Document, (with civil, technical, legal drawings), primarily reviewed by staff 7

01.29.18 2. CCBP Community Services/Amenities • Review of the CCBP also informed by Crystal City Community Services and Amenities Inventory • Provides continual awareness on progress made towards meeting community-oriented service and amenity goals from a Crystal City perspective, as opposed to a block level perspective • Inventory provides additional context for Planning Commission and community review of CCBPs and Final Site Plans; helps identify opportunities for achieving certain needs on a block 8

01.29.18 2. CCBP Review Process LRPC • Block Plan is reviewed by the LRPC for consistency with the Sector Plan. SPRC • SPRC typically reviews the Final Site Plan after the Bock Plan review. The Block Plan and any proposed refinements are used as a guide for reviewing the final site plan. PC • Following SPRC process, the Site Plan and Block Plan are presented to the full Planning Commission at a public hearing. CB • County Board then holds a public hearing to consider: 1) adoption of the Block Plan and 2) approval of the Final Site Plan, and any associated re-zonings. • Adopted Block Plan would serve as the most current plan for the block, until the next site plan on the block necessitates an updated Block Plan. 9

01.29.18 3. Sector Plan Guidance for the Block 3D MODEL – BIRD’S EYE PERSPECTIVE VIEW (FROM SOUTHWEST) • Target size of Metro Market Square is 43,900 square feet . • The space will provide for and celebrate a new entrance to the Metro Station at the east end of the plaza and will be a primary center of retail activity . • The ground plane of Metro Market Square will be finished primarily in hard surfaces which will allow for market uses , temporary pushcart retail, public gatherings, outdoor entertainment, and a variety of related uses. • Metro Market Square could also create an opportunity for crafting a permanent market building arcade along the length of the plaza which could be used for a local farmer’s market, arts and crafts festivals, and/or carnivals. • The head house on the east end of the market arcade could be the new entry to the Metro Station . • A major connection across 18th Street to the Center Park should be emphasized in the plaza design. • Small water features, benches, cafe seating, larger interactive sculptures, chess tables, bosques of trees, and similar features should be incorporated into the overall design. • Pervious paving, artistic wind turbines, and/or solar panels on the roof of the market building could all be incorporated into the design. 27
