The Downtown Arlington Management Corpora on’s (DAMC)
Strategic Ac on Plan (SAP) provides direc on and ac vi es to
be completed during the next five years. The plan represents
consensus among the DAMC board, members and staff. It
establishes DAMC’s common vision for Downtown Arlington as
a unique community, rich in opportuni es. The purpose of this
SAP is to:
• Establish a “to do” list by se ng DAMC’s course for
the next five years
• Define high priority ac ons to be completed over the
next two to three years
• Provide policy guidance and a reference point for
future decision-making
• Iden fy a reflec on of needs, values and desires in
Downtown
• Capture a clear Downtown vision and ar culate how
DAMC can help facilitate ac on
• Help manage DAMC resources and aid in funding
opportuni es
In addi on to this Strategic Ac on Plan, DAMC works under the
con nued guidance of past plans, most significantly the 2006
City of Arlington Downtown Master Plan. The 2006 Master Plan
outlines goals, guidelines, strategies and strategic ac ons. Many
of the exis ng goals remain relevant today, thus DAMC recognizes
the benefits in con nuously revisi ng the Downtown Arlington
Master Plan as well as updates to incorporate significant changes
in the area.
The SAP planning process built upon recent successes, past
planning efforts and decades of leadership demonstrated by local
officials, entrepreneurs, stakeholders, educa onal partners and
ci zens. The plan is intended to help manage DAMC resources
in an orderly fashion and maximize its assets to strategically
improve Downtown’s image and physical environment.
The SAP planning process kicked off in late spring 2013 and

INTRODUCTION

The SAP planning that defines Downtown Arlington is the same as
the Business Improvement District (BID) boundary. The planning
area is approximately 448 acres or 0.7 square miles. With slight
varia ons, the BID area is approximately bound to the north
by North Street, to the east by Collins Street, to the south by
2nd Street and to the west by Cooper Street. While the BID is
a defined boundary, DAMC planning strategies go well beyond
Downtown Arlington to create an environment that capitalizes on
trends, markets, regional influences and opportuni es to make
Downtown a vibrant des na on.
Based on exis ng developments, ameni es and planned projects,
two special planning areas have been outlined on the Downtown
Arlington Area Map. These areas should not be viewed as hard
boundaries but rather as illustrated strategy areas. This most
central area, Core Area (shown in red), offers an iden fiable zone
with the most con guous walkable environment and highest
quality urban form. This is due to exis ng buildings and street
level ac vi es. It is approximately the area where the average
pedestrian would feel comfortable walking, due to street-level
con nuity, from one end to the other. This central area is a high
priority zone for DAMC efforts.
Future Expansion Areas (shown in purple), illustrate the central
area growth on the Downtown Arlington Area Map. These areas
are immediately adjacent to the Core Area and hold the greatest
poten al to expand the central walkable area through new infill
projects and well designed street-level ac vi es. The Future
Expansion Areas represent a secondary priority area for DAMC
efforts.
PLANNING AREA
The Greens at College Park is a focal point along the City of Arlington’s

The Groundwork...
The City of Arlington: Downtown Master Plan was created in
2004 and provides vision, policy goals and guidelines for the
development of Downtown Arlington. The 2004 Downtown
Master Plan laid the groundwork for many recent project
successes in Arlington and many components s ll remain valid
today. DAMC con nues to reference its goals and objec ves
and uses the 2004 Downtown Plan for decision making. This
SAP is not a replacement document of the 2004 Downtown
Master Plan. Rather, the SAP is a complimentary document that
builds upon the 2004 Downtown Master Plan and helps to focus
DAMC’s ac ons and involvement to further implement the Plan’s
recommenda ons.
This SAP sets in mo on what DAMC can do to help further the
2004 Downtown Master Plan, as well as other planning efforts
ongoing with the City and UTA. It is DAMC’s desire to work in
concert with viable planning ini a ves such as the Division
Street Corridor Redevelopment Strategy, UTA’s master plan and
others that exist to promote the health and vitality of Downtown
Arlington.

The DAMC supports roadway and streetscape enhancements to
Abram Street that elevate its status as an urban gateway street. It
is desired that future improvements would incorporate a similar
concept as recent updates to Center Street. Enhancements
should include strong aesthe cs, removal of overhead u lity
lines and increased streetscape elements. Such elements include
street trees, banner poles, landscaped areas, site furnishings and
signage. Safe pedestrian spaces are encouraged though the use
of wide sidewalks, decora ve pedestrian crossings, signage and
pedestrian ligh ng. Infrastructure improvements and on-street
parking should be incorporated to help s mulate a business and
customer friendly environment.
Abram Street Design Principles
Abram Street improvements are directly related to DAMC’s
mission statement, vision statement and all five major goals. In
addi on, numerous objec ves and ac ons related to Abram
Street can be found throughout the SAP. Specific design principles
desired for Abram Street reconstruc on include:
1. Incorporate strong urban design, quality urban forms,
and pedestrian improvements to create a sense of place
and to promote Abram Street as a gateway experience for
Downtown.
2. Remove or relocate u lity poles and overhead u lity lines.
3. Provide infrastructure to support Downtown events.
ABRAMSTREET downtown’s immediate issues
Two significant projects that will greatly impact Downtown will be constructed or designed in the next few years. These key projects are
the Downtown library and Abram Street. Both projects are located in the heart of Downtown and will be highly visible. Their designs
and physical a ributes will set the tone for future Downtown improvements. These projects will con nue to define how Downtown is
used and developed for decades to come. Rather than create conceptual design solu ons per project, DAMC is providing the following
descrip ons and design principles for each.
4. Reduce traffic speed.
5. Provide pedestrian ameni es.
6. Create streetscape to promote first-floor uses in buildings
and ac ve public spaces.
7. Incorporate wide sidewalks.
8. Provide unique landscaped areas.
9. Provide street trees.
10. Provide both vehicular and pedestrian ligh ng.
11. Use interes ng materials, textures and colors similar to
Center Street streetscape enhancements for sidewalks and
pedestrian crossings.
12. Incorporate site furnishings with con nuity in design
character that include benches, trash receptacles, light and
banner poles.
13. Incorporate public art.
14. Provide safe pedestrian crosswalks that are well lit and
provide design interest at intersec ons.
15. Provide parking solu ons that promote a business- and
customer-friendly experience. Parking should be easily
accessible to businesses, par cularly ground floor retailers.
16. Minimize unnecessary driveway cuts and increase cross-
access between businesses.
17. Incorporate design elements that visually connect the Levi
Pavilion, new road improvements and the City Hall block.

The DAMC supports improvements to the exis ng Downtown
library in the form of redevelopment, renova on and/or
reloca on in Downtown. The site of the current library is in a key,
prominent loca on in Downtown. However, the current design
does not relate to the urban fabric by promo ng ac vity on all
four sides. Future design and/or reloca on should promote a
pedestrian-friendly realm on all four sides, par cularly on the
blocks that front Center, Abram and Mesquite. DAMC believes
the Downtown library provides an essen al public space and
community services that should be a part of the Downtown
environment. DAMC stresses its desire for Arlington to maintain
its central library branch in Downtown. Updates to the library
DOWNTOWNLIBRARY
should help ac vate first-floor uses and create be er street-level
ac vi es. DAMC supports be er rela onships between the
library to surrounding context such as land uses, sidewalks and
streets. DAMC encourages the City to consider a public-private
partnership to help finance the redevelopment project.
Downtown Library Design Principles
Library improvements are directly related to DAMC’s mission
statement, vision statement and all five major goals. In addi on,
numerous objec ves and ac ons related to the Downtown
library can be found throughout the Strategic Ac on Plan. Specific
design principles desires for the Downtown library improvements
include:
1. Arlington should maintain a library in Downtown.
2. Use Downtown’s library as a magnet for economic
development.
3. Downtown’s library should exhibit an urban-style
development which incorporates joint uses such as retail and
restaurant
4. The library should promote to street-level ac vi es and other
civic buildings and uses. It should create a strong civic area.
5. The library should incorporate well designed outdoor public
spaces.
6. Locate the library to serve as an anchor or des na on for
new development.
7. Incorporate inspiring architecture to promote civic uses and
community pride.
8. Encourage large windows to take advantage of natural light
and to provide snapshots into building ac vi es and spaces.
9. If renovated in its current loca on, the design should ac vate
street-level uses, par cularly along Abram Street.
