CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING AND FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT -PROPERTY ACQUISITION PRIORITIESProperty Acquisition Priorities
Many factors contribute to the need for property acquisition, including the continued growthof student population and facility needs; the fact that fewer than one-quarter of Falls Churchstudents are educated within the City limits; that the George Mason High School and MaryEllen Henderson Middle School site has reached its FAR (Floor Area Ratio) maximum; thatthe current Thomas Jefferson site cannot sustain additional building and appropriate outdoor spaces; that the Mt. Daniel site has proven difficult to expand.The School Board’s long term goal is to position itself to be able to purchase propertieseither adjacent to or in close proximity to current school sites as those sites becomeavailable. Properties which would have priority for acquisition would:
•
Improve flexibility in use of current school sites by adding driveways, entries, busloops, parking lots, playing fields;
•
Improve accessibility of the current sites by adding second (additional?) access points, improved accessibility at different grades for persons with disabilities;
•
Increase the FAR or potential footprint of a current school site, or allow thedevelopment of plans that increase capacity/space without increasing the footprint of the facility (i.e., increased efficiency of land use).The School Board will also closely monitor the status of any large sites either within theCity or less than a mile outside the City limits at any point. Sites outside the City should beat least 10 acres in order to allow a significant school building project. Sites within the Citycould be as small as 3 acres, which could support a primary school.The Board will consider the shared purchase of properties that involve potential school andcommunity related uses including affordable housing for teachers, open space, recreationalfacilities, etc.The Board will include allocation of annual funding in its approved CIP document.Analysis of the usefulness of adjacent properties will be included in architectural studies of current buildings. The Board will authorize contact with owners of potential larger tractsand properties adjacent to current sites, to indicate the Board’s interest in being apprised of
