Over 200 citizens -- old, young, renters, homeowners, newcomers and lifelong residents -- showed up to share their views and perspectives with the Arlington County Board during the Public Comment period at the March 18th County Board Meeting. More will speak at the Recessed Meeting scheduled for 6:30 PM on March 21st. The County Board will then consider what they have heard, deliberate on the proposed zoning changes (now called Expanded Housing Options), and vote. A video of the March 18th meeting can be found under the News Tab.
UPDATE: The EHO changes to the zoning ordinance were approved 5-0 on Wednesday March 22. The meeting can be viewed HERE

I recommend watching the final 30 minutes during which each of our Board members summed up their reasons for voting Yes and shared important thoughts on where we go from here.
