The projects remain under review and were not approved or denied at this work session. The 575 Herndon Parkway proposal includes housing, retail, office or flex space, structured parking, streetscape improvements, bus bays, and a pedestrian connection to the Metro pavilion. At 250 Exchange Place, the proposal would replace five office buildings with residential development, public open spaces, streets, and structured parking. Staff recommended approval of the Chesapeake Bay-related zoning text amendment, but the minutes do not record a commission vote.
