Actions: a. Identify and implement opportunities for new streets through sector plan efforts. b.

52 Public Art Master Plan Guidance on Courthouse Area Courthouse is the County s civic center and also attracts visitors because of its restaurants and movie theatres. Art projects here should highlight Arlington s civic traditions, particularly as they relate to its history and its emerging global context. Public art should be incorporated into the eventual completion of the Courthouse area plan, including the proposed village green, underground parking, 15th Street Festival Street, and cultural center. Arlington Public Art / Arlington Economic Development May 2014
53 Public Space Guidance 2004 PSMP Chapter 3 Overview of Existing and Planned Public Spaces, E. Urban Public Spaces and Streetscaping Courthouse is the home to the County governmental offices and courts as well as a sizable residential population. The Courthouse area includes significant public spaces at Rocky Run Park and Key Elementary School. The surface parking lot between the county government offices and the county courthouse building is currently used for a weekend farmer s market, and has great potential for redevelopment into a more attractive central plaza. Several economic development studies of a major cultural center in this area have suggested that coupling a center with an outdoor civic gathering space will strengthen the County government complex PSMP Chapter 5 Recommendations, A. Objective 1: Recommendation Focus on Planning for the Rosslyn- Ballston Corridor Continue to achieve major open space through fee simple acquisition or public access easements on privately owned land, with a focus on the civic plaza at Courthouse, public plaza at Rosslyn Central Place and expanding the park in the block surrounding Maury Park Open Space Master Plan: Objective 5, Strategy B: Use open space to promote a civic/governmental center image for the Courthouse vicinity Open Space Master Plan, Urban Open Space: Would establish a new urban open space at the old Court House and Detention facility site Court House Sector Plan Addendum Create a civic plaza through the consolidation of open space at the old Court House and Detention Facility site. Consolidate open space at the western end of the Court House Metro Station block and along the promenade linking the government center and office development located east and west of Court House Square. Provide a prominent at-grade pedestrian connection from Colonial Place to Court House Square. Relocate the farmer s market location to North 15th Street, between Clarendon Boulevard and North Court House Road. 63
54 Implementation Identify funding for design and subsequent construction. Potential sources include bond funds, yearly close out funds, developer contributions Utilize a professional design/engineering firm managed by County staff. 64
55 Envision Courthouse Square Buildings - Cultural Facilities AED May 21, 2014
56 Cultural facilities - guidance Courthouse Sector Plan Addendum (1993) Explore the possibility of developing a cultural facility, which may include a performing arts center, at the existing APA Building site [Court Square West]. A cultural facility or other similar public space, (possibly as part of an overall development scheme featuring private and/or future county office space) is recommended at the present site of the APA [Court Square West] building. This type of development should include easily accessible retail and restaurant uses and could serve to help activate the "Square". Public Spaces Master Plan (2005) Courthouse is the home to the County governmental offices and courts as well as a sizable residential population Several economic development studies of a major cultural center in this area have suggested that coupling a center with an outdoor civic gathering space will strengthen the County government complex. (Chapter 3, Section E) Building a multi-use centralized cultural center The current preferred site is in the Courthouse Plaza area, where a center could be designed in concert with a major underground parking facility and outdoor central plaza. (Recommendation 4.1) Courthouse Square Planning & Urban Design Study Working Group Charge (2013) The Working Group will address the following elements as part of this study the treatment of a potential cultural facility.
