Heidi Merkel
Senior Planner
Department of Planning & Zoning
Dear Heidi,
Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Comprehensive Plan text language
for the Reston Transit Station Areas. In this case, we are reviewing Version 3, which includes the recent
addition of language on Public Facilities. Our approach in reviewing this draft is as follows:
Follow-up on some earlier comments, including our own, annotated in the draft Plan
Some specific comments on Versions 2 & 3.
Some general thoughts about draft Plan language as it is evolving.
Follow-up on Earlier Comments
We greatly appreciate the staffs efforts to re-examine the general goal of 3.0 jobs/household and the
assumed size of office space per worker. (p. 5)
On the former, we would note that both US Census 2010 data and DPZ data submitted to MWCOG for
the 8.2 version of its forecasteach covering slightly different geographies--put the current Restonwide J/HH ratio near 2.5/1. This is shown in the summary table below.

Community-wide Jobs/Household Ratio 2010

Households
Jobs
J:HH Ratio
US Census--Reston CDP
24,528
64,538
2.63
MWCOG 8.2--Reston Study Area
30,226
69,495
2.30
Note: MWCOG 8.2 Household count is for 2011. 2010 not available.
As we stated before, we believe enlarging that ratio is a major step in the wrong direction. At most, it
should remain at 2.5/1 over the next 20-30 years as we attempt to bring the TOD areas in to some
degree of J/HH balance.
We also risk sustaining the huge J/HH imbalance in Restons transit station areas and included TOD areas
if we continue to assume that the gross square foot per office worker grows to 300 GSF. We appreciate
the distinction between GSF, leasable space, useable space, and the many other sub-categories of office
building space outlined in the 2010 standard, but we can find no evidence that office space per worker
has increased and an abundance of evidence that it has, is, and will decrease. We will continue to
monitor and report on this situation.
We continue to recommend an aggressive County posture on air rights over the Dulles Corridor despite
staffs recommendation of no change in the existing language. (p.8)
1

We know that this is an expensive proposition and that, for the time being, there is little likelihood of
sufficient market demand to develop the space over the corridor, but we would argue that is exactly the
reason to acquire those rights promptly. We would note for the record that Supervisor Herrity is
exploring the air rights option as a way to help reduce future Dulles Toll Road fare growth, which still
looks huge despite recent state steps to contribute to the building of Phase 2 of the Silver Line. We
would also note that air rights provide the only means to acquire additional land to build many of the
infrastructure projects and amenities that are included in our community vision and the evolving Plan.
When the County (& others) see that the demand is there for developing this space, the price will be all
that much higher, possibly many times higher, both from a construction perspective and simple market
demand pricing. We think now is the best time to make this investment for the future of Reston.
We believe stronger language is needed on alleviating traffic congestion; non-degradation is
inadequate. (p.9)
We greatly appreciate the excellent work that the Department of Transportation has done in evaluating
the various development scenarios we have been through to date. They have been painstakingly
thorough and responsive. Obviously, we do not like the results or their implications for future Reston
congestion on its main corridors. If we were to accomplish non-degradation, we would still have 11
intersections in the Phase 1 study area with LOS F during the peak hourthe current conditions as
reported by FCDOT in 2010. According to FCDOT data, the worst gateway intersection delay is
currently (2010) 4-1/2 minutes at Wiehle and Sunset Hills in the evening peak hour. That is not
satisfactory under any reasonable development plan.
We believe the Reston Comprehensive Plan should set a minimum traffic standard at its gateway
intersections (plus those linking to the DTR) of LOS E. This is the core LOS laid out for Tysons
development in a presentation by FCDOT to the Tysons Corner Committee on June 22, 2011. In fact, it
calls for LOS D/E on low speed boulevards (4-8 traffic lanes, 40MPH design speed, 35MPH operating
speed) in the Tysons area. These standards were incorporated in the Tysons Plan per Transportation
Design Standards for Tysons Corner Urban Center, VDOT in partnership with FCDOT, September 13,
2011, see Table 2, p. DS-3. We believe Wiehle, Reston Parkway, and Fairfax County Parkway all meet
that standard, including their intersections with Sunset Hills, the DTR, and Sunrise Valley.
We know of no reason whatsoever that Reston traffic should be treated to a lower LOS standard than
the Tysons area. (Indeed, we are becoming increasingly exasperated with a variety of special
treatments accorded Tysons versus Reston and other emerging urban areas in the County.)
We believe the extension of the planning horizon is appropriate and welcome it in light of the timing of
the new Comprehensive Plan and the uncertainty regarding regional growth. (p. 10)
We agree with staff that efforts to extend the TOD area by enlarging the point of origin are
inappropriate. (p. 11)
We agree that there is a substantial difference in South and North Town Center Sub-Districts and that
limiting South Town Center Sub-District development intensity is appropriate given the current impact
analysis. (p. 12)
We agree that the language concerning a focus on residential development in the Central Sunset Hills
District is appropriate. (p. 13)
2

We agree with the TF comment that the names surrounding some sub-districts are confusing. (p. 14)
We agree with staffs updating the language concerning application of the ratios in the mixed use areas
applies to the entire area, not individual project, BUT we are less certain that the ratios specified are the
appropriate ratios. (p. 15)
First, the use of the phrase transit station mixed use is confusing. We also speak of transit station
areas elsewhere, which include the totality of the TOD areas and beyond. It is important that this piece
of the TOD development area focus on the first -mile around the Metrorail station platform. This could
be called Inner -mile mixed use or Commercial mixed use (so long as it applied to the -mile
circle) as a counterpoint to the outer residential mixed use circle, but we leave the wording to you.
More importantly, the actual spatial relationships (50%/50% inner and 25%/75% outer respectively)
depend entirely on the square footage we assume per office worker. If we keep DU size at 1,200GSF
and office worker space drops to 200GSF/office worker, these ratios assume about 3 workers for each
resident whereas our current assumptions call for 2 workers per resident. We definitely do not want a
50/50 GSF split in the inner quarter mile if this is the case, and the 25/75 GSF split in the residential
mixed use area may also be off substantially. At this point, we believe it is premature to specify what
these ratio goals ought to be until we have a better understanding of the underlying GSF per office
worker assumption. (Note: To date, we have assumed that office workers account for about 85% of the
non-residential space and, therefore, it is the driving factor in achieving a desirable J:HH balance in
either part of the TOD area.)
For the record, we will also note that it has been RCAs position that the number of workers and number
of residents in a TOD area should eventually be equal overall. However these relationships work out in
terms of the spatial allocations in the two rings, we believe a 1:1 worker-residential balance should be
the long-term goal achieved in each TOD area (notwithstanding Herndon-Monroe is a half a TOD area).
We believe the more demanding language concerning housing diversity is an excellent addition to the
Plan language. (p. 17)
We have been concerned about the bucket usage problem along with others, but we do not have any
specific recommendations on how to fix this endemic problem. Nonetheless, we would encourage both
parcel consolidation and, as a less effective alternative, coordinated development plans. (p. 18)
We believe that redevelopment proposals in the outer -mile seeking bonus intensity should require
consolidation or coordination if the parcels are less than a minimum size to be determined. We leave to
staff what that threshold should be. (p. 20)
Comments on Versions 2 & 3
Environmental Stewardship
Given Restons tradition of environmental consciousness and action, we appreciate the thoroughness
with which this topic is treated in this Plan language. We have only a couple of comments on selected
topics.

Green Buildings: We would propose two changes:

The LEED Silver certification or equivalent should be extended to residential as well as
non-residential development in the Phase 1 area. We appreciate the complexity of the
residential development LEED problem, but believe it is important to sustaining the
environment consistent with the tone of this Plan, Restons vision and planning
principles report, and Restons tradition.

Achievement of higher levels of LEED certification is also strongly encouraged.

Urban Parks, Recreation Facilities and Cultural Facilities

The key to this section is the Countys Urban Park Framework. We believe the key standards there for
acreage for parkland per resident (one acre per 1,000) and workers (one acre per 10,000) severely
underserve the Countys urban residents, current and prospective. They are especially inadequate for
Reston which has placed a high premium on its parks and open spaces since its founding vision and
principles. In addition, park accessibility is important in understanding the value of a park to a
community.
We have examined the performance of urban parks nationwide using the most recent data from the
National Trust for Public Lands (TPL), an organization that advocates for parks and public spaces, and
inserted Reston data for comparision. In brief, our research shows:
At nearly 23% parkland, Reston is and will continue to be among the leaders nationally in
percent of area devoted to parkland, including regional, county, RA, and private parks and
natural areas.
o Reston is among the top communities nationally in parkland per capita, but its rank will
drop significantly with the population growth anticipated in its transit station areas.
o It accomplishes this despite being currently ranked in the middle of the 109 cities cited
in the TPL list. Its forecast density increase would bring it to the top quarter of the cities
in this list.
o As a result, Reston currently rank high on the list of 100 cities tracked by the TPL in its
park accessibility score rankinga combination of park area and population density
although its rank will drop from 10th to 13th as population growth outstrips the growth in
parkland.
The transit station areas fare less well both today and in the future.
o DensityEven if Reston grows even at the diminished rate currently forecast in
MWCOG 8.2, the station areas will become one of the most densely populated areas in
America (rank #6).
o Park AccessibilityThe Reston station areas rank in the bottom ten percent of park
accessibility both now and even worse in the future.
Reston Town Center will become one of the worst communities for parks in the country using
TPLs assessment.
o Its density will be second only to Manhattan Borough in the United States.
o It currently ranks fourth from last in this list in terms of park accessibility and will fall to
next-to-last in 2030 if growth follows the forecast track, just ahead of Hialeah, FL.
For further details on these findings, please read the attached workbook with several spreadsheets.
The steep projected decline in Restons TOD and Town Center park scores can be directly attributed to
the Countys Urban Park Framework, which is a minimalist standard at best when compared with the
4

experience of cities across the county. At present, the County ranks well in the TPL park accessibility
scores at 14th. Nonetheless, applying the Urban Parks Framework to Restons TOD areas and their
expected growth to 2030 would give Restons urban areas the fifth poorest score in the TPL listing. That
standard puts Fairfax Countys urban areas in the same ballpark as North Las Vegas, Norfolk, Stockton,
and Santa Ana, CA. This standard is not acceptable for a County that presumes to be a leader in active
lifestyles, urban growth, and attracting a knowledge economy. Indeed, the result of such a policy will
likely be to reduce the growth potential not only of Reston, but other urbanizing areas in the County,
including Tysons.
The combination of the limited planning for parkland in Restons urbanizing areas and the low
expectation set by the County for parks in urban areas run directly counter to the needs identified by a
panel of County and RA parks and recreation officials that calls for facilities requiring more than 100
acres of parkland for a variety of game fields and facilities, many of which are captured in the table in
the draft plan. Moreover, it is unfair and inequitable to expect the rest of the community to provide
the space to meet the needs of the urban areas. From a quality of life perspective, the conversion of
existing Reston open spaces and parks to other uses to meet the needs of residents and workers in the
station areas represents as much of a loss to the community as it does a gain to Reston transit station
areas. RCA cannot support this taking of its existing community common ground for other people or
purposes. It makes no more sense than taking parks from Springfield or Annandale or Chantilly to
serve Restons urban residents.
Precisely because the taking of Restons common ground would be a loss to the communitys quality of
life, we have argued from the outset of this planning effort for the creation of a large urban park in
Town Center North. We continue to advocate for that large park as a central park for Reston named for
its founder, Robert E. Simon. Not only would such a park provide a critical gathering place for the entire
Reston community, it would greatly reduce the congestion and environmental impact created by
prospective transit station area residents or workers traveling to the farther reaches of Reston. We
believe a large park20 acres or morewill be a critical element to Restons growth and its reputation
for excellence as a planned community.
We would make one specific recommendation for this section at this time consistent with the above: It
should specify that a proposed community/district recreation center should be built in the transit
station area, not in existing Reston parks or open spaces outside these centers of population growth.
Its construction in a transit station area would not only facilitate local pedestrian/bicycling access, but
also enable users beyond Reston to reach it by Metrorail.
Public Facilities
We appreciate that the public schools portion of the draft plan is not yet complete, yet we acknowledge
that the language here is generally consistent with the discussions we have had with Reston school
board member Pat Hynes and members of the FCPS planning staff. We would make two observations
about this draft text and our discussions:
Besides locating one elementary school in Town Center North, we believe the second needed
elementary school should be located on the north side of the Wiehle Station area, not
elsewhere in Reston or beyond. The closest Reston elementary school north of the corridor is
Forest Edge, and the prospective students in this area need to have access to a neighborhood
school.
5

We understand that land availability is the key driver for locating a new middle and high school
along the Rt. 28 corridor, but we wonder about the implementation of bringing Reston students
to this location, especially during peak traffic periods. We anticipate that FCPS may be
considering school boundary changes to accomplish filling these new schools. We would hope
that those boundary changes maximize the attendance of Reston students in Reston schools
rather than whole transportation of Reston students to the Rt. 28 area. Although it may be
premature to put that kind of language in a Comprehensive Plan, we believe it is important to
note our concern at this time.

We also appreciate your commitment to following up on the issues raised by RCAs alternative task force
representative, Dick Rogers. We look forward to those additions in forthcoming versions of this draft
plan.
We have no comment on the Fire & Rescue portion of the draft plan other than to note that we believe
a fire and rescue presence is needed in Reston Town Center as planned.
General Comments
We have two general concerns that the preceding discussion help highlight:
The imposition of new infrastructure on the non-urbanizing parts of Reston to meet the needs
of station area residents and workers.
The value of a County consolidated government complex in a single or adjoining buildings to
save land for open space and parks.
We have periodically expressed our concern that the task force sub-committees and others have
expected that the existing Reston community should absorb the infrastructure requirements dictated by
a growing urban corridor. We reject that because it basically says the existing Reston community must
lose something so the new urbanizing station areas may gain something, whether it is worse traffic
congestion, less open space, more crowded schools, and so on. We insist on creating a win-win
situation where the entire community benefits, not just a portion of it. We will continue to bring your
attention to this concern whenever we believe the task force is asking the Reston community to suffer
so it can gain.
As I mentioned at the last task force meeting, we believe a lot of space can be gained bringing together
most, if not all, the County services that will be required with the build out of the transit station areas.
So far, we have seen little evidence of this thinkingthe new police station being a case in point. Here
are a few highlights of our thinking:
Parking requires a lot of space. Combining county staff and public parking in a single parking
garage that serves all or most of the county purposes can conserve a tremendous amount of
space.
We believe there is an opportunity for synergy among the public library, the recreation center,
and the elementary school in Town Center North, largely to the benefit of the school.
It would help if the library/rec center/ school backed to a public park whose facilities may also
be used by the elementary school and rec center.
We believe the countys social services offices could easily be co-located with the homeless
shelter in a small footprint high-rise building. This building could also house the Supervisors
office and associated community rooms.
6

The fire and rescue station could be part of the ground floor of the office building, including
crew living quarters above the station.

An optimal situation may involve the construction of these facilities in an L around a corner facing
outward. The office building/shelter/station could face the short side of the L. The parking garage
could adjoin the office building on the long side of the L and serve as a divider between office building
and the school/library/rec center complex on the other side of the garage. Behind all of these buildings
would be a public park.
Conclusion
We appreciate the great effort that DPZ has made in bringing the Reston areawide comprehensive plan
draft forward and we know that this involved not only accommodating task force members, but also
extensive discussions with other county staffs. We thank you for your continuing excellent efforts and
look forward to the opportunity to review and comment on future sections.
We hope that you find our comments and suggestions useful as you move forward through this plan
development process.
Sincerely,
