The Arlington County Board approved a plan on Oct. 20 to redevelop the Red Top Cab property in Clarendon with three residential buildings and ground-level retail, along with changes in block structure/road network and improvements to the intersection of Washington Boulevard and 13th Street North. The board adopted both the site plan and a related Zoning Ordinance amendment.
The County Board voted 5 to 0 to approve the site plan, and an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance’s Clarendon Revitalization District to support the site plan. The board will hear an associated application and Master Transportation Plan at the board’s Nov. 14 meeting.
The Shooshan Company plans to build three free-standing buildings with a total of 580 multiple-family residential units and nearly 3,500 square feet of retail on the 3.51-acre site, with 468 parking spaces. The site already is under contract by the Shooshan Company. Red Top Cab plans to move its operational headquarters elsewhere in Arlington. The other existing buildings — a two-story commercial building and a child care center — also will be demolished.
