DR.. Muncy advocated rezoning
about 275 additional acres for
use by industries. Such action.
she said, would increase the
county's tax revenue.
DR.. Muncy recommended in
creasing industrial Develop
ment along Jefferson Davis
highway and along Four Mile
Run of Shirley highway. These
are the growing industrial
areas, she said.
The Cherrydale and East
Falls Church areas are rela-
lively static by comparison,
she said. No changes were
recommended for Cherrydale,
and only a slight industrial in
crease was suggested for East
Tails Church.
Would Revamp Rosslyn
DR.. Muncy strongly urged a
decrease and eventual elimina-
ton Of industry in the Rosslyn
area which fronts on the Po-
tomac River between Memo
rial and Key Bridges.
"Rosslyn, as the gateway to
Arlington, offers an outstand-
ing redevelopment opportu-
nity," she said. only a bold
imaginative redesign will be
worthy of this unrivaled site"
In connection with future re-
development and urban re-
newal programs in Arlington,
Planning Commission Chair
man James H. Berkey said adj
ditional legal assistance will be
sought.
Mr.. Berkey said the Plan
ming Commission and County
Manager A. T. Lundberg have
agreed to ask the County Board
to authorize funds at an early
date for hiring, through the Of
flee of the Commemorative
Attorney, legal aid to study the
technical procedures.
Attorneys presumably will be
instructed to draft legislation
for redevelopment and urban
renewal programs to be pre-
scented at the next session of
the Virginia General Assembly,
he said.
Would Revise Zoning
Arlington's situation as q
county is peculiar since other
redevelopment projects. de-
signed for slum clearance. have
been undertaken only by cities.
Mr.. Berkey said. Such projects
qualify for Federal aid.
In her industrial land study,
DR.. Muncy recommended re-
visions of the county's coming
ordinance as a protection for
industrial land and for the COM
munity. New controls, she said,
should include higher space and
design standards, performance
standards, exclusive industrial
coming and site layout approval.
She advocated the formation
# an industrial development
corporation which could aquire
and hold vacant industrial land.
and could plan. design finance,
execute and maintain industrial
parks.
DR.. Muncy also said the es-
adjustment of an industrial
advisory committee to the Plan
ming Commission could propose
encroachment of industrial
land, investigate taxes that in
hibit industrial growth and i'm
plement industrial planning
programs.
Selective Industries
Because of Arlington's lin
tied amount of industrial land,
DR.. Muncy said the county
should encourage only high
value industrial bull dings,
rather than the open-storage
type. She said a low employ
ment density would be desir-
able.
New industrial areas, DR..
Muncy said, should be located
at Johnson's Hill off Column
bia pike. New Arlington in the
vicinity of the Four Mile Run
and Freed Parks; Glen Carlyn.
along the Washington & Old
Dominion Railroad; Bonair,
North Highlands and Dominion
Hills. also along the railroad.
DR.. Muncy said most of the
land she has recommended for
new industrial usage is now
