cation would be "spot zoning" and
unlawful under the Virginia
Enabling Act.
The rezoning also drew criticism
from Daniel A. Dugan, recently
elected County Board member who
will take Office January /. He called
it "spot rezoning."
The project, however, was indorsed
by the County Chamber of Com
merce and the Arlington Board OF
Trade.
Thomas w. Phillips, attorney rep
resenting Woodward & Lothrop, told
the board the only reason the store
asked for rezoning to general COM
mercial classification was to permit
construction of a building as feet
higher than the 35-foot limit allowed
under local commercial.
Mr.. Phillips stressed that the store
would not be "a neighborhood enter
prise" but would serve all Of the
Northern Virginia area. He said
the company is under binding
contract" to buy the property If the
rezoning is granted.
B. w. Parker, chairman Of the
Board of Directors Of Woodward &
Lothrop, said the development "is
in no sense a real estate venture.
We contemplate building just as
soon as materials are available. "
The building will cost between
81 ,0OO, 900 and $1,500,000, the board
was told.
