As a follow-up recommendation in the Columbia Pike Initiative – A Revitalization Plan, Update 2005, staff is initiating the second phase of planning along the Pike to study the residential areas that were not included in the first phase of the plan, which focused on the commercial nodes.

 | Rosslyn Sector Plan Addendum, 2012
Plans are being developed to kick-off a new planning effort for Rosslyn designed to resolve specific planning problems that have posed obstacles to transforming the neighborhood into a more vibrant place to live, work and play. At their 3pm afternoon session of their June 14, 2011 recessed meeting, the County Board voted to approve a 2012 Rosslyn Sector Plan Addendum Scope of Work for this planning effort, which will build on the 1992 Rosslyn Station Area Plan Addendum. The new Rosslyn planning effort will focus on creating a framework to improve urban design quality, refining and improving transportation options, recommending a building heights strategy, and developing a more cohesive and functional parks and open space network.
Additionally, prior to a kick-off meeting this fall, the type and design of the public process to be used for engaging the community in helping to formulate recommendations was developed. The County Manager presented a Participatory Process Framework, which will be used to structure the planning process, to the County Board at their September 20, 2011 meeting.
