26 passages for “Davies Property” in City Council meetings
Public hearing and Council action – Davies Property Rezoning, General Development Plan, Special Exceptions, and Certificate of Appropriateness at 4131 Chain Bridge Road. All three motions (rezoning/GDP approval, special exceptions, and Certificate of Appropriateness) approved 4-3 with Mayor Read and Councilmembers Amos…
… project has a significant commercial component, and that is the one added density incentive that we have. And then the Davies property, this would result in less density than what was approved and less density from the previous draft.…
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES A NORTH TO SOUTH GREENWAY THAT GOES BETWEEN BUILDINGS B AND C CONNECTING FROM THE DAVIES PROPERTY AT THE SOUTH IT ALIGNS BOTH IN LOCATION AND GRADE IT CIRCUMNAVIGATES THROUGH THE SITE NORTH TO THE POINT THAT I HAD CALLED OUT PREVIOUSLY THERE ARE IS A PROPOSAL IN 637 spaces on two levels. The two …
NOT REQUIRED THAT THE DAVIES PROPERTY HAD BEEN RESOND TO A PLANNED MIXED DISTRICT. WHAT'S ON THE SLIDE HERE SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED SIDEWALKS. SO AGAIN, GETTING FROM THE GREENWAY ON THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SITE, THERE ARE PORTIONS OF SIDEWALKS WITH CROSSWALKS THAT WOULD TAKE YOU TO CHAMBRIDGE ROAD. NOTHING …
…st access drive from university drive to chambers road and a north to south greenway of varying widths that connect the davies property to the south should it be developed to northern properties and it does terminate at this property's lot line TO THE NORTH IT IS JUST TO THE EAST OF THE BUILDING THAT HOUSES THE KELLY'S…
…outhern property line which is what the SO POINTED OUT IN THEIR MEETING. THEY WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE GRADE MATCHES THE DAVIES PROPERTY TO ENSURE THE GREENWAY CONNECTION IS FEASIBLE. THE HEIGHT WAS DISCUSSED, NOT NECESSARILY A CONCERN, BUT THE STEP BACK ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE WAS SOMETHING THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION BEL…
…he Greenway etc. And if you will I'd like to engage your imagination of almost taking a walk with me, starting from the Davies property and the southern portion of it. As you will see, the greenway at that juncture,…
…st roadway. If we can then shift to the next one, again, kind of picking up, you'll see at the bottom of the screen the Davies property where it is crossing to ours. At that initial point, our greenway width is 40 feet. However, if you go back approximately 70 feet, then it opens up and you will see that this is one of…
the Davies property as well as from our site and how do they get to both Chainbridge Road and University Drive. When you look at the Davies property, all of their access points are along the north side of their building. The black dash represents their proposed sidewalk. Their sidewalk abuts where their access points a…
…ensity, which matches the Davies. By the way, based for comparison, the assessed value of the existing structure on the Davies property is $262,000. So, again, it's coming down to the math. We felt that the greenway is the vital importance, and that is the offset. I mean, it really comes down to that. That is the expla…
Speaking of sidewalks, So while I understand why you say you feel they're not necessary, and I would concur with you on the private street on the north side in particular, that's fine. Where the Davies property line is on that side of the building,
…lk a little bit more about there was a mention in INTERPARCEL CONNECTIONS. THERE WERE COMMENTS ABOUT IN RELATION TO THE DAVIES PROPERTY AND THAT SORT OF THING. ANYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT HIGHLIGHT HOW THIS SORT OF BUILDS OUT THAT WHOLE AREA?…
…his evening is indexing the size, scale, and the structure of what happens here based on what happened next door at the Davies property. you're probably aware that resulted in quite a bit of concern by the community. So the idea that that is precedent setting and should be the basis upon and the template upon which we …
And this is more of a comment rather than a question. It's just, and I understand the comparisons with the Davies property because it's adjacent to you and you'd be sharing a greenway. But Davies property also had significantly less acreage. And so just a little disappointed that in terms of open space, we only got to …
And I would agree with you in my very limited traffic knowledge. But I do think that, you know, you have the Davies property, which it's going to change things on its own, and then you have the next development next to it and all these different things. you can only predict what you know at that time and what you think…
…the big politics out of Fairfax City. That's another part of the problem. Again, colluded votes. I hate to say it, when Davies Property went from zone for, what was it, nine units per acre and was approved at 102, I started looking around at VPAP.org to see if any developers had paid politicians. The answer was no.…
of very temporary, very brief parking spaces. And the other thing we keep talking about, you know, the rate, you know, it specifically said Greenway, and we have a Greenway in the small area plan, and the Davies property allowed for that in their design. And the pre-application we got for Christopher Companies also were like,
…at this I think sort of points to how density within itself is inherently somewhat arbitrary looking at for example the Davies property that is a project that utilized below-grade parking, which is something that, as was mentioned, we want to incentivize, not discourage. And, you know, with that comes the potential for…
…n there and George Mason University, which is logical and recommended in many ways. I think the decision we made on the Davies property is inconsistent with that, but nonetheless, that is very much a development strategy that is probably worth taking a second look at and seeing where that leaves us. Again, that would i…
…ound, but the density there is a lot lower than the density that we see in some other projects, like on the other hand, Davies property, five stories along Chain Bridge, and then as you get over to university, it's subsided to four stories, but it's a bit more complicated than that…
…tprint that's recommended in small area plan you know of course that's I know very rough not you know exact but But the Davies property, as an example, is much higher density, and that was recommended for approval by staff, but I believe for denial by a planning commission, but still both informed by the small area pla…

CERTAINLY. SO IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN HERE, YOU SEE THE ROAD. LET'S ASSUME THAT DAVIES WAS CONSTRUCTED. THAT ROAD EXISTED AND THERE WAS A ROAD TO ACTUALLY CONNECT TO. Our zoning ordinance requires non-residential parcels or parcels that don't have single family, I should say. In this case, it's residential,…
Okay. Wonderful. Good to know. 392 units. And I am curious in terms of the comment that you're exploring all options. That's a lot of units. If my numbers are right, it's 102 per acre, which is the same as Davies. So proportionately, that's a pretty high level of residential here. Any thoughts about having a higher per…
