Residential uses, including affordable housing, are envisioned for three of the six development sites.
An additional section with implementation recommendations contains five draft implementation actions that relate to Housing: Facilitate the development of committed affordable housing units through bonus density. Ensure residential development is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies in the Arlington County Affordable Housing Master Plan (Adopted XX, 2015).
