Potomac Yards Land Bay C-East (Site Plan and PDSP #346) was approved by the County Board on June 15, 2021, as part of this site plan and per the Potomac Yards Design Guidelines, the developer will be building their portion of (Eastern Site) the North Park Plaza as envisioned.

At the March 1 Virtual Site Plan Review Committee (SPRC) Meeting, the committee asked that the public space be adjusted so that it would be a year-round attaction, that it was more organic and included biophlic apsecs with more plantings and less impervious surfaces. They also asked that the water feature be reassessed so that it was safter and more durable.

The applicant updated the design so that it harmonizes with the original design and so that it less hardscape, increased plantings, and incorporated more biophilic principles. The proposed plaza is consistent with the Design Guidelines and aligns more recent County efforts to increase biophilia. They also changed the water feature to be easier to maintain and safer.
