Saturday, March 15, 2025 – Regular County Board Meeting  

Item #9 – Arlington Neighborhoods Program Projects
The County Board will consider approving $1.2 million of Arlington Neighborhoods Program bond funds for two priority neighborhood projects in Slater Park on N Culpeper Street (in the John M. Langston neighborhood) and on 1st Road S. (in the Arlington Heights neighborhood). Descriptions of each project are as follows:  

Slater Park – North Culpeper Street 
This park improvement project will renovate and replace the existing (original) 27-year-old tot lot playground with new equipment, site furnishings, access, circulation and improved grassy areas. Improvements will also include enhanced landscaping and required stormwater management. Minor furnishings will be placed within the adjacent parkland areas, and invasive plant treatment will occur in areas of the park adjacent to the playground site.  

1st Road S. - South Glebe Road to Old Glebe Road 
This traffic calming and intersection improvement project will enhance pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicular safety while improving connectivity and traffic patterns. It will also maintain existing parking near Alice West Fleet Elementary School and Thomas Jefferson Middle School by incorporating curb extensions and additional directional signage. 

Both recommended projects underwent the standard Arlington Neighborhoods Program (ANP) public engagement process, which is a collaborative community effort that seeks input from residents and civic associations on concept designs. 

Item #10 – Neighborhood Mini-Grant Program
The Board will also consider approving the use of $20K for the Neighborhood Mini-Grant Program (NMG) to be used in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026.  

The NMG Program is designed to assist community groups, civic associations and not-for-profit community-based organizations in engaging neighborhood residents in activities that strengthen and enhance the community, especially in Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC), renters/tenants, seniors, young families with children and other diverse populations. Grant awards are reimbursable up to a max of $1,000 per award per applicant.  

This will be the second round of funding from the NMG program, with the available funding increasing from $10K in FY25 to $20K in FY2026, potentially doubling the number of possible grantees from last year. Funds for the NMG would come from the balance of the original $150,000 in the FY 2024 County Government Appropriation Resolution and the amended FY 2025 County Budget for Equity Demonstration Projects that is in the County Manager’s non-departmental budget.  

Item #14 – Acceptance of 6045 Wilson Special GLUP Study Document, and RTA on future Public Hearings 
The Board will also consider accepting the 6045 Wilson Boulevard Special General Land Use Plan (GLUP) Study document and approving a request for advertisement (RTA) of future public hearings by the Planning Commission and County Board to consider a related amendment. The Special GLUP study was conducted at the request of the applicant to consider an amendment that would enable and guide redevelopment of the 6045 Wilson Boulevard site from Office to Townhouse development.  

The applicant is interested in redevelopment of the site with a target yield of 16 townhouse units. To facilitate the redevelopment, the applicant is requesting to amend the GLUP from "Service Commercial" and "Low" Residential (1-10 units/acre) to "Low-Medium" Residential (16-36 units/acre). In addition, the applicant indicated their intent to request a rezoning from C-1 (Local Commercial District) and R-6 (One-Family Dwelling District) to RA8-18 (Multiple-family Dwelling District) to correspond with the requested "Low-Medium" Residential GLUP designation.  

Acceptance of the study does not mean that the requested GLUP amendment was approved. A public hearing, Board consideration and possible adoption of a GLUP amendment related to this site will happen later this year.
