A $1.2 million Lyon Village home has gone up for sale with a planned condition — it can’t be redeveloped as a multi-family residence. It’s not the first time Arlington residents have turned to housing covenants to prevent multi-family development under the Expanded Housing Option — or Missing Middle — zoning changes. A lawsuit could possibly argue that these provisions are contrary to public policy, based on Missing Middle zoning ordinances. The County Attorney’s Office told ARLnow in September that it is aware of private covenants on Arlington properties. Real estate agent Eli Tucker tells ARLnow that he is not aware of any other local listings that have referenced this kind of agreement since Missing Middle went into effect last July.
