The request would allow a continuing care facility of roughly 825,000 square feet in three towers. This meeting is a public hearing on the request.

- Chain Bridge Road/Colshire Drive intersection is a four-way stop with community safety concerns; applicant agreed to an earlier signal warrant study and to install a signal if warranted.
- Staff still wants the Circulator proffer revised to coordinate on a bus shelter, and says the 546 parking spaces overpark the site (about 320 needed under the ordinance) and encourages a lower supply.

- Grid streets: Results Road half-section depends on neighbor easements (interim private drive otherwise); no commitment to replace Summit Street streetscape; 3-4 ft grade difference may affect VDOT acceptance.
