I. SPONSORS
The Fairfax County Department of Planning and Zoning (DPZ) is the primary sponsor of the Lincolnia
ULI mini-TAP. While DPZ is the primary point of contact for the study, DPZ staff is working closely with
other Fairfax County agencies such as the Fairfax County Department of Transportation, along with the
Mason District Supervisor’s Office in order to support the ULI team.
II. ASSIGNMENT
A) PROBLEM STATEMENT:
DPZ is interested in evaluating the benefits and challenges of designating an approximately 200-acre
portion of the Lincolnia Planning District as a Community Business Center (CBC). See section “V.
Governmental Role” subsection “C. County” for further information on CBCs and the Comprehensive
Plan. The potential CBC is located within Fairfax County along Little River Turnpike (Route 236)
between the existing Annandale CBC (also a designated revitalization area) and a recently re-planned
Landmark Mall within a neighboring jurisdiction to the east, the City of Alexandria. Interstate 395 is a
significant barrier between Fairfax County and the majority of the City of Alexandria. With respect to
potential future connectivity, the City of Alexandria has adopted plans for an east-west Bus Rapid
Transit system along Duke Street (Route 236) connecting the redeveloped Landmark Mall with the King
Street Metro station. Landmark Mall would also host a stop on a north-south Bus Rapid Transit system
along Van Dorn Street/Beauregard Street connecting the Pentagon with the Van Dorn Metro station.
The City of Alexandria is aware that Fairfax County is interested in exploring extending the Duke Street
BRT into Fairfax County along Route 236 to N. Beauregard Street. The socio-economic, racial, and
ethnic makeup of the potential CBC and surrounding areas is very diverse. The current housing stock
within the potential CBC is mostly affordable market-rate rental units. Many of the businesses and
services in the area cater to the existing residents and are locally owned.
B) QUESTIONS FOR THE PANEL:
Corridor Planning/Regional Context/Connectivity:
How can synergy among the potential Lincolnia CBC, the Annandale CBC, and the areas to the
east in the City of Alexandria be leveraged to create a vibrant mixed-use area?
What regional or national examples are there of potential redevelopment that highlight
appropriate development intensity and scale, as well as appropriate transitions to nearby
neighborhoods?
What opportunities exist to enhance connectivity, including pedestrian and bicycle connectivity
1) between the potential CBC area and from the surrounding neighborhoods, especially along
Route 236 connecting to points west and east 2) and within the potential CBC area?
Affordable Housing and Social Equity:
How can redevelopment be used as a tool to preserve and expand affordable and workforce
housing?
Page 4 of 40
How can the current businesses and services that serve the current population in the area be
retained should this area redevelop?
Economic Impact:
From the economic development perspective, what are the benefits in designating the area in
question as a CBC and what might be the market future if this area is not designated as a CBC?
Given the recent commercial trends, particularly commercial space trends, what general mix of
uses might facilitate economic success of this area, should the area be designated as a CBC?
III. HISTORY OF THE STUDY AREA
General
Lincolnia is an ethnically and racially diverse area, with development that is older and more densely
developed than most other parts of Fairfax County. Many Lincolnia neighborhoods were built in the
1950s and 1960s, or earlier. Little River Turnpike, bisecting the study area, was built in the early 1800s
to connect the northern Virginia farms and countryside with the port and market of the City of
Alexandria. In the past 50 years, Route 236 has evolved into a significant commercial corridor, with the
Lincolnia segment connecting to points of activity to the west including I-495 and Annandale as well as
to points to the east including I-395 and Alexandria. Along Route 236, there are three garden-style
apartment complexes built in the 60s. Two 1960s era strip shopping centers, Plaza at Landmark and
Brighton Mall (Grand Mart), anchor commercial uses to the east. Tenants at these centers have evolved
over time from traditional retail to vibrant international markets, along with longtime standard
franchise stores, reflecting the changing demographics of the region. Smaller retail, office and
institutional uses are spread out along Route 236’s remaining frontage as well as along N. Beauregard
Street. In the more recent past, Lincolnia has become a home to many immigrants, some of whom
were refugees. This is one of the factors that has led to the broad ethnic and racial diversity of Lincolnia.
Residents of Hispanic origin also make up a significant portion of the population, more than in the
larger Fairfax County.
Immediately to the east are properties within the City of Alexandria with a variety of uses including
hotel, office, retail and high-rise residential (condominiums and apartments), as well as several
institutional uses. Most of the development in Alexandria was built in the 1980s or earlier.
Planning
The larger Lincolnia Area, as well as the potential Community Business Center area has not been
comprehensively studied for 25+ years. In 2013, the Board of Supervisors authorized a study of the
Lincolnia Planning District. The first phase of this study concluded in 2015 with publication of an
existing conditions report and editorial updates to the Comprehensive Plan for the Lincolnia Planning
District. The second phase of this study is ongoing, with a community task force currently being formed
to address the question of establishing a Community Business Center and subsequent potential
substantive changes to Comprehensive Plan guidance. The task force will begin meeting in February of
2017. For additional information on the currently adopted planning guidance, please see section “V.
Governmental Role”, subsection “C. County”. In 2009, during the county’s Area Plans Review process,
Page 5 of 40
the owner of the roughly 23 acre Plaza at Landmark retail center, which is about 412,000 sf of mostly
retail use developed at an intensity of about .4 FAR, submitted a nomination to add a mixed use
redevelopment option. The requested uses included 611,000 sf office, 470,000 sf retail and 750,000 sf
residential use, or 715 dwelling units. After detailed analysis, staff did not support the proposal due to
resulting traffic impacts that could not be adequately mitigated by the nominated site alone. The
nomination was withdrawn.
IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA
A) PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
For a series of maps displaying the existing built and natural environment along with the planned built
and natural environment, please see Appendix Figures 1-9.
The potential CBC is approximately 200 acres. It is bounded on the east by the City of Alexandria and I-
395, on the north by N. Beauregard Street and Lincolnia Road, and low density residential
neighborhoods to the northwest. The potential CBC is bounded on the west by Chowan Avenue, and on
the south by Evangeline Lane and 8th Street. Little River Turnpike (Route 236) serves as the main
commercial corridor through the area, running east-west. North Beauregard Street is a smaller but still
heavily travelled road intersecting with Route 236, running north-south connecting to several major
arterials and activity points to the north including Mark Center federal office building. Interstate 395
and its Route 236 interchange serves as an eastern boundary for this part of Lincolnia.
Some slivers of land exist between the
study area and I-395 are within the City
of Alexandria (see map to the right).
This city land is mostly commercial uses
consisting of hotel uses, as well as high
density residential. On the eastern side
of I-395 in the City of Alexandria is the
Landmark Mall redevelopment project,
an approved significant node of activity.
See section “VI. Additional Information”
for details on the redevelopment
project.
About 2.5 miles to the west along Route
236 is Annandale, a 240 acre
unincorporated area within the county.
Annandale is designated in the
Comprehensive Plan as a Community
Business Center (CBC) and is planned
for an intense mix of uses to
complement its existing 2 million square feet of commercial development. Annandale CBC is also a
Page 6 of 40
Community Revitalization District, a Zoning Ordinance overlay district providing greater flexibility in
applying regulations and a speedier development review process.
Existing Land Use
The existing land use (by development gross square footage) is mostly residential. The vast majority
(95%) of residential development is multi-family, mostly garden-style apartments. The non-residential
development is mostly retail in character with some office and institutional uses.
Bicycle Plan
According to the Fairfax County Bicycle Route map, there are no existing bicycle facilities within
the study area. However, there are several bicycle facilities planned.
The Bicycle Master Plan designates Route 236 as a Policy Road, meaning the road requires
further study is needed to determine the appropriate facilities. In 2016, the road was studied
Land Use (gross square feet)
Multi-family 2,283,767 72%
Townhouse 111,316 4%
Office 132,885 4%
Retail 584,451 18%
Institutional 76,319 2%
Total 3,188,738 100%
Page 7 of 40
and the long-term recommendation for Route 236 within the study area was for construction of
protected bike lanes.
Lincolnia Road is recommended to provide a buffered bike lane.
N. Beauregard Street is recommended to provide a sharrow, a slightly wider traffic lane painted
to indicate shared bicycle use of the roadway.
Just outside the study area, Turkeycock Run Stream Valley is recommended to provide a shared
use path from Route 236, crossing under I-395 to connect to points east such as Edsall Road,
Backlick Run and Van Dorn Metro.
Trails Plan
According to the Fairfax County Trails Plan, Route 236, N. Beauregard Street and Lincolnia
Road are all recommended to provide major paved trails of asphalt or concrete 8-10’ wide.
Just outside the study area, Turkeycock Run Stream Valley is also planned to provide a major
paved trail, as mentioned in the Bicycle Plan.
Transportation Plan
According to the Fairfax County Transportation Plan, Route 236 is recommended to be widened
to 6 lanes from its current 4 lanes.
The intersection of Route 236 and N. Beauregard Street is planned for a full interchange.

Census data, block level.
Special Features
The Lincolnia Senior Center is located within the potential CBC on North Chambliss Street, a quarter
mile north of Route 236. The Senior Center, built in 1988, is owned by Fairfax County and provides three
main functions: 1) The Senior Center provides social services to older county residents, including
classes, health and wellness programs, computer/internet access, trips and tours as well as socialization
opportunities. The Senior Center attracts 100 to 150 visitors a day, with less on the weekends; 2) The
Senior Center also is home to Lincolnia Residences, a 26 unit assisted living affordable housing facility
for seniors; 3) Finally, the Senior Center also includes an adult day healthcare center offering daytime
supervised care for seniors.
The Turkeycock Run Stream Valley traverses the western edge of the study area and connects to a
Fairfax County Park Authority owned property. For the location of this property, see “Figure 3 Existing
Land Use” map in the Appendix. See the “Figure 7 Environmental Features” map in the Appendix for
the location of the stream valley and associated Resource Protection Areas.
D) HOUSING
i. Existing Housing
Generally speaking, the potential CBC area is planned as developed.
There are 1,874 multi-family units, 60 townhouses and 3 single family detached.
i. 97% of residential units are multi-family.
The multi-family units are rental apartments within 3 complexes along Route 236.
Crystal Woods is on the south of Route 236 and has 344 garden-style units.
i. Community amenities include a renovated clubhouse including gathering areas,
business center and fitness area, pool and playground. The grounds are well
maintained.
ii. In-unit amenities include newly renovated units with granite countertops,
cherry cabinets, stainless appliances, tile backsplash. Hardwood and ceramic
tile flooring, washer and dryers.
iii. http://crystalwoodsapts.com/
Morningside is to the east and includes a mix of garden (506) and high-rise (173)
apartments with 679 total units.
i. Community amenities include a tennis and volleyball courts, pool and
playground.
ii. In-unit amenities include granite countertop in kitchens and baths. Some units
have washer/dryer while others have shared facilities.
Page 12 of 40
iii. http://livelerner.com/lerner-morningside
Arbor Park, on the north of Route 236 includes 851 mostly garden-style units. Some of
these units are townhouse-style apartments.
i. Community amenities include a renovated clubhouse including gathering areas,
business center and fitness area, pool and playground. The grounds also seem
to be recently improved.
ii. In-unit amenities (some units) include upgraded kitchens with granite
countertops, ceramic tiles, stainless appliances. Some units have washer/dryer
while others have shared facilities.
iii. http://www.udr.com/washington-dc-apartments/alexandria/arbor-park-of-
alexandria/
All 3 complexes are older, built in the 1960s.
Immediately outside the study area are mostly single family detached and townhouses.
Abutting City of Alexandria land includes mostly high-rise condominiums and
apartments
ii. Rentals
Almost all (97%) residential units in the study area are rentals.
The study area has 1,874 multi-family rental units. There are 63 single-family units
(townhouses and detached). Of these 63 units 83% are owner-occupied. Source: Fairfax
County Department of Tax Administration.
There are 3 apartment complexes in the study area.
Averaged across all 3 complexes, a one bedroom rents for $1,350, two bedroom for $1,600
and a three bedroom for $1,950.
The rents for the Morningside Apartments are about $100 less than the average for Fairfax
County while Crystal Woods are about $100 more than the average. These differences are
likely explained by the lack of unit amenities in Morningside and the more recent
renovation of Crystal Woods and amenities such as in-unit washer and dryers.
Page 13 of 40
iii. Rentals Comparable
There is significant competition
from nearby apartments. A Zillow
search of rentals within approximately a
mile of the potential CBC revealed
almost 20 apartment complexes.
Most of the nearby apartments
seem to be similar to the study area’s
Arbor Park and Morningside, older with
fewer amenities.
Roughly a quarter of the
competing market seems to be more
similar to the study area’s Crystal
Woods, more recently renovated with
more amenities. Some complexes have
been built more recently, within the
past decade or two.
Averaged across the 19
competing apartments, the competing
market seems to have slightly higher
rental list prices. See chart below.
Page 14 of 40
It should be noted that all rental list prices were skewed downwards at the lowest list price
specified for the given bedroom count. This difference increases with apartment age and the
availability of modern amenities. The average list prices shown above were calculated from the
lowest list price of each apartment.
Older apartments generally had a $100-150 spread above the lowest listing.
Newer apartments generally had a $300-700+ spread above the lowest listing.
These differences in rental prices have enormous impacts on housing affordability within the
study area.
E) COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
i. Existing Commercial
Generally speaking, the potential CBC area is planned as developed.
There is just under 800,000 square feet of existing commercial space. The vast majority of
this space is retail use. See chart below.
The Plaza at Landmark includes several tenants
that can be considered anchors. These include
Shoppers grocery store, Ross discount department
store, Marshall’s discount department store, and
Dollar Tree discount variety store.
Brighton Mall includes two tenants that can be
considered anchors. The Grand Mart ethnic
grocery store and 99 Depot Plus discount variety
store.
An initial analysis of the tenants indicates that
about half are local businesses and half are part of
national or large regional chains.
In addition, a number of the businesses seem to
cater to the local ethnically diverse/immigrant
community.
The office space is concentrated in 3 locations. A 2-story office condominium on N.
Beauregard Street north of Route 236, a 3-story office building on N. Beauregard Street
south of Route 236, and 2-story townhouse-style office condominiums at the western end
of the study area along Route 236.
1 Bed 2 Bed 3 Bed
Study Area apartments 1,356$ 1,576$ 1,953$
Competing apartments 1,374$ 1,634$ 2,051$
Difference (18)$ (58)$ (98)$
Rental List Price Comparison: Study Area VS Competition
Page 15 of 40
As shown in the Appendix, Chart 1 Business Summary, there are almost 170 businesses in
the study area, with almost half being services, and a quarter being retail trade.
ii. Competing Commercial
As indicated in the map above, within 1.5 miles there are 7 shopping centers (blue icons) of
the study area’s 2 shopping centers (red icons). Four of these 7 shopping centers also have
grocery stores.
These competing centers are of various sizes and have different ages, business and tenant
mixes.
V. GOVERNMENTAL ROLE
A) FEDERAL
As part of the 2005 Federal Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, a number of Department of
Defense agencies and their associated thousands of employees were moved to Mark Center. Mark
Center is within the City of Alexandria about 2.5 miles north of the study area and is a concentration of
office, residential, hotel and retail use. The traffic related to Mark Center affects the Lincolnia study
area, mainly along N. Beauregard Street.
B) STATE
Express Lanes
The Virginia Department of Transportation is conducting the I-395 Express Lanes project to extend the
I-395 Express Lanes for eight miles north from Turkeycock Run near Edsall Road to the vicinity of Eads
Page 16 of 40
Street in Arlington. The two existing HOV lanes (or High Occupancy Toll) lanes will be converted to
express lanes and a third lane will be added, providing three reversible express lanes. The
improvements primarily will be built within the existing footprint of the I-395 HOV lanes. The project
published an Environmental Assessment in September 2016 and is still in the design phase. I-395’s full
interchange Route 236 will be rebuilt, which will affect the study area. This may be an opportunity. The
project website has additional information:
http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/northernvirginia/395_express.asp
Proffer Reform Legislation
Virginia Code, Section 15.2-2303.4 (Provisions Applicable to Certain Conditional Rezoning Proffers),
went into effect on July 1, 2016 and limits the ability of local governments to request or accept proffers
related to new residential development as part of certain rezoning and proffered condition amendment
applications. However, the law specified certain criteria that could exempt areas within local
jurisdictions from the provisions of this legislation. One of the exemption criteria is stated below:
An approved small area comprehensive plan in which the delineated area is designated as a
revitalization area, encompasses mass transit as defined in § 33.2-100, includes mixed-use
development, and allows a density of at least 3.0 floor area ratio in a portion thereof.
Although this legislation focuses on limiting the ability to request or accept some proffers, it may have
an effect on crafting and implementing Comprehensive Plan recommendations that pertain to
residential uses in areas subject to the legislation. Currently, the study area is subject to the proffer
legislation requirements. Designating the study area as a Community Business Center, served by mass
transit and a revitalization area with mixed use at a 3.0 FAR planned for a portion of the area would
make it exempt for the proffer legislation provisions.
C) COUNTY
General
The potential Lincolnia CBC is within Fairfax County, Virginia. Fairfax County operates under the urban
county executive form of government. The powers conveyed to the county by Virginia are vested in an
elected Board of Supervisors including 9 members elected by district, plus a chairman elected at-large.
Mason District
The study area is within the Mason District, whose elected official is Supervisor Penelope A. “Penny”
Gross. The Mason District has support staff, which includes land use and transportation aides. The
Mason District Land Use Aide is Ervin Uriarte and his role is to support Supervisor Gross with planning
studies, zoning applications and other land use and development related issues. Mason District
website: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/mason/
Lincolnia Planning District Study
The Lincolnia Planning District Study was authorized by the Board of Supervisors in 2013. In support of
the Board authorized motion, at the time of this report, Supervisor Gross was creating a community
Page 17 of 40
task force to review the existing planning guidance for Lincolnia and recommend changes, if any. Study
website: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpz/lincolnia/
Comprehensive Plan
Concept for Future Development
The Comprehensive Plan’s Concept for Future Development establishes broad categories of planned
development use and character for all land in the county. The study area (and its surrounding area) is
currently designated as a Suburban Neighborhood. This designation emphasizes the predominantly
residential character of the area and suggests guidelines which will help maintain this character by
restricting potentially incompatible land uses and/or land use intensities. Roughly 90% of the county is
designated Suburban Neighborhood or the other residential category, Low Density Residential Area.
The commercial uses along Route 236 are currently planned to be restricted in extent and intensity.
Community Business Center
The Lincolnia Planning District Study, and this ULI mini-TAP are considering designating an area of
Lincolnia as a Community Business Center (CBC). CBC’s are described in the Comprehensive Plan’s
Land Classification System as:
“Historically older community-serving commercial areas that emerged along major roadways,
Community Business Centers (CBCs) are areas where redevelopment should encourage a mix of uses
focused around a core area of higher intensity, such as a town center or main street in a pedestrian-
oriented setting. Transitions in intensity and compatible land uses should protect surrounding stable
residential neighborhoods.
Appropriate revitalization and selected redevelopment advance the goal of sustaining the
economic vitality in older commercial centers and adjacent neighborhoods. Revitalization efforts
should also seek reinvestment in these communities and aim to foster a sense of place. There may
be a particular need to address aging infrastructure.
CBC’s should emphasize design that advances pedestrian amenities and circulation.
Given limited transportation infrastructure, a balance of retail, residential and office uses should
optimize the generally older road networks that provide access to CBCs. Where appropriate, a mix
of uses is encouraged to create a more vibrant environment throughout the day.”
CBCs are one of the 4 types of mixed use centers designated across the county. See the Appendix’s
Map 11 Fairfax County Concept for Future Development Map. Nearby CBCs include Annandale, Baileys
Crossroads and Seven Corners.
The existing detailed Comprehensive Plan guidance for the potential Lincolnia CBC and the larger
Lincolnia Planning District is found here:

VI. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Stakeholders
Identifying study area stakeholders is something of a challenge. There is no Chamber of Commerce or
business group serving the study area. There is no civic group representing residents of the study area,
since most residential are apartments. Despite this, there are several stakeholders the panel may reach
out to. A Lincolnia Study task force will have been formed by the time of the mini-TAP. The task force
chairman, or individual members may offer useful insights. In addition, there are two townhouse
developments in the study area, Landmark Property (Shackelford Terrace) and Lincoln Mews (Nancy
Hanks Court & Robert Todd Court). To staff’s knowledge, they do not have homeowners associations.
The largest commercial property in the study area is the Plaza at Landmark owned by Landmark HHH
LLC. Finally the Lincolnia Senior Center is the only public facility and a major social center for the study
area. The senior center is run by the Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community
Services. See the Appendix’s Contact sheet for various Fairfax County staff contacts.
Lincolnia Study’s Additional Outreach
Staff is conducting additional outreach efforts to residents through Fairfax County Public Schools and
Neighborhood and Community Services. Materials will be provided in Spanish. In addition, outreach to
retail tenants will occur. To begin the study, staff conducted the Lincolnia Land Use College, a 3 session
(6 hours total) class to educate residents about the Fairfax County development process and how to
shape development in their neighborhoods.
City of Alexandria Coordination & Development Projects
Due to the proximity of the City of Alexandria to Fairfax County’s Lincolnia, as well as the function of
the transportation corridors, coordination of planned efforts and development between the two
jurisdictions is extremely important. This coordination is summarized below:
Staff from the county and the city have held several coordination meetings regarding planning
and development activity in areas near our respective borders.
The Lincolnia Study has notified, in writing, Alexandria staff, as well as civic associations and
commercial land owners within half mile of the study area.
There are several near and long term development and transportation projects in the City of Alexandria
to take note of:
Bus Rapid Transit
The West End Transitway is a BRT system planned to run north-south along the Van
Dorn/Beauregard corridor. It would connect the Van Dorn Metro station with Landmark Mall,
Shirlington, Beauregard residential area and the Pentagon. There would be a combination of
dedicated and shared lanes.
The Duke Street Transitway is a BRT system planned to generally run along Duke Street. It
would connect Landmark Mall with King Street Metro station and Old Town.
Page 19 of 40
Landmark Mall
The Landmark Mall redevelopment project is a significant node of activity that was approved by
the city several years ago. It will replace a traditional indoor mall with a mixed use residential
and retail community laid out on an urban street grid with amenities and open space.
The development seeks to build 250-300,000 sf of retail and restaurant use along with 350-400
apartments. The developer recently purchased additional land, so these figures may increase.
Beauregard
The Beauregard Small Area Plan creates a vision for development along N. Beauregard Street
from Seminary Road to a little past Sanger Avenue, a length of a little over a mile.
The West End Transitway would connect the area with Pentagon to the north and Van Dorn
Metro to the south. The area would become walkable with mixed use.
The 3+ million sf Mark Center offices is envisioned to be integrated with additional office, retail,
hotel and residential uses. Market-rate affordable housing makes up almost half of the area’s
5,500 existing units. The plan recommends 800 new units be committed as affordable and
workforce rental housing.
The issues facing Beauregard SAP are similar to those facing Lincolnia.
Eisenhower
The Eisenhower West Small Area Plan creates a vision for a 620 acre area of the city southeast
of and bordering the Lincolnia area. The plan allows for growth in residential use and a mix of
uses including office, hotel, retail and industrial uses.
The area would be served by the West End Transitway and would add or enhance several road
and trail connections to the Lincolnia area.
Significant amounts of new residential development along the county’s border would replace
heavy and light industrial uses of today and provide a connection to Van Dorn Metro.
