2.) PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT FOR HUNTINGTON CLUB
66
77
Huntington Club Plan Amendment
• Included the proposed mix of uses and intensity in the land use alternative.
• Public hearings anticipated in the spring of this year (April/May 2017)
2A.) ACTIVITY DENSITY COMPARISON

99
What is Activity Density?
Activity Density = Population + Jobs
Acreage
• Acres = 503 (half mile radius)
• One of the factors used by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) to designate the corridor as appropriate for bus rapid transit (BRT).
• DRPT Suggested Transit Investment by Planned Activity Density: 14-34 Express Bus34-70 BRT/LRT70 or more LRT/ Heavy Rail
*Activity Density for BRT scenario is greater in the CBCs (55 to 138)

Ongoing Sensitivity Analysis:• Environmental• Transportation
• 2040 alternative land use
• Critical intersections and impacts to road network
1414
BRT Travel and Analysis
• Continuing to evaluate the BRT travel speed• Preliminary analysis findings - BRT and auto travel
times are competitive • Mode choice factors:
• Predictable travel times = Reliability of service• Access• Transit wait time • Comfort • Ability to multi-task • Cost
• Design phase of BRT – utilize transit signal priority system and rapid boarding process
• Economic Benefit• $1 invested in transit = approx. $4 in economic returns• $10M in capital investment = $30M increased business
sales• Environment
• Saves gasoline and reduces carbon emissions• Households near transit drive less miles
• Health and Safety• Buses with advanced technology produce less
pollution than cars per passenger mile• Individuals using transit get 3x more physical activity• Provides access for all ages and abilities

Benefits of BRT Transit

• Visualizing BRT, vehicle movements and turns• Hybla Valley portion – AM Peak Hour• Traffic Signal Priority (TSP) - extended green time• No mitigations at intersections

4.) INTRODUCTION TO IMPACTS ANALYSIS
176
Impacts Analysis • Topic areas in accordance with Policy Plan:
• Transportation • Affordable and Workforce Housing• Environment
• Stormwater Management • Green Buildings• Environmentally Sensitive Areas
• Heritage Resources• Public Facilities
• Schools• Libraries• Police• Fire and Rescue• Wastewater treatment • Water storage and treatment (Fairfax Water)
• Human Services • Parks and Recreation
18
Impacts Analysis • Assessment of potential needs (e.g. facility
expansion, new facilities) based on projected number of residents and employees from the land use alternatives.
• Completed through extensive inter-agency coordination.
• Guidance may be included at both the corridor-wide and site-specific/CBC level, depending on the topic area.
