The McLean Citizens Association Planning Committee is going to make a presentation to the PHCA, October the 4th at 7:30pm at the Pimmit Hills School on Lisle Avenue. We normally do not have a meeting the month of October, but it has come to our attention that many things are in the making around Pimmit Hills and we would like to stay informed and make sure our voice is heard. Some of the topics that will be discussed are:
McLean Commons Plan which includes the following:
- 8 buildings between 13 and 23 stories in height
- 2.5 million square ft of residential and commercial space
- parking for 4000 vehicles
ISSUES:
Density creep - Will the new development eventually creep into our neighborhood through rezoning? We need guarantees that the low density buffer zone between us and the development remains.
Traffic - What will stop some of the 4000 new vehicles from using our neighborhood as a bypass to route 7? We need to see traffic studies for the area and prevention of visitors from parking in our neighborhood.
Loss of Parkland - Scotts Run Park lies within a zone of high density development as defined by the county and may be in the firing line for developers in the future.
