“The Spectrum case is mildly controversial, not so much for
the project itself, but because of issues related to existing traffic concerns on

Washington Drive,” said MDLUC Chair Daniel Aminoff.
“Spectrum failed to provide county staff with an engineering
report on how they plan to connect Charles Street to Glen Forrest, as required
in the current plan,” Aminoff said. “As such, the county could not provide
draft comprehensive plan language for us to review.” Spectrum will report back
to the MDLUC on July 22.
Also at the meeting, the MDLUC agreed to recommend the
Planning Commission approve a modification at the Skyline 7 office building on
Leesburg Pike to provide space for three restaurants with outdoor seating. Hearings
are scheduled on that project July 24 before the Planning Commission and June 29 before
the Board of Supervisors.
