Arlington Comprehensive Plan Update Adopted 3-17-2015 | Page 132

Rural Residential (Low Intensity) - This area
provides a unique opportunity for the city to
provide residential choices to residents who
desire larger, higher priced single family homes
in a more rural setting. The area should focus on
very low density single family residential with
various natural amenities and trails to connect to
the city’s greenway network.

Established Residential (Areas of Stability) This area covers the largest portion of the city
and contains a variety of housing types as well
as retail services. People living in these areas
would enjoy the benefits of neighborhood parks,
schools and community recreation centers.

Mixed Use Residential (Medium Intensity) - This
area is surrounded by entertainment, commercial
and industrial activity areas. Building on the New
York Avenue Strategy adopted in 2013, this area
is envisioned to contain a mix of housing types,
appropriate neighborhood and community
convenience retail services and specialty stores,
along with mixed-use, retail, office, institutional
and civic uses.
