Council approves three-townhome planned development at East Randall Mill Road
Summary
The council approved zoning case PD24-27 to allow three townhomes on a 0.233-acre site at 301 East Randall Mill Road after the applicant and one supporter described design and staff collaboration; council voted to approve the PD by motion.
Arlington City Council approved a planned-development zoning change Jan. 6 to allow three townhomes on a 0.233-acre site at 301 East Randall Mill Road.
The applicant said the project proposes three two-story townhomes with two-car garages and floor areas between 2,320 and 2,920 square feet. Staff and the applicant had worked through drainage and traffic analyses and made small plan changes requested by Planning & Zoning, including a buffer for guest parking; the applicant said the Planning & Zoning Commission had voted unanimously in favor, with minor modifications.
One speaker in support, Andy Winn, thanked staff for collaborating with the developer. Councilmember Bridal and others asked about trash and recycling storage; the applicant said bins would be stored in the garages. Councilmember Bridal moved to approve the PD and Councilmember Gallante seconded; the motion passed.
Construction for nearby right-of-way work (Randall Mill expansion) will remove about 2,276 square feet from the site and construction on that project is anticipated in winter 2029, staff said. The PD allows townhome lots smaller than the UDC minimum after accounting for right-of-way dedication; applicant representatives said unit building sizes meet RM12 standards.
The council’s approval allows the applicant to proceed with the development under the approved PD plan; council members praised the applicant’s work with staff and the design.
