Staff Reports for Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments

The Code of Virginia requires localities to review their Comprehensive Plans at least once every five years. The Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan is evaluated more frequently to manage the dynamic changes in the County and to conduct Plan maintenance.  Plan amendments are initiated by a motion by the Board of Supervisors.  In order for an amendment to be adopted, it must be the subject of a public hearing before the Planning Commission (PC) and the Board of Supervisors (BOS). See the Planning Commission's Meeting Calendar for information about currently scheduled Planning Commission public hearings. The Board of Supervisors must vote to adopt the amendment in order to change the Plan.  

Staff reports for the proposed amendments scheduled for public hearing are listed below. Click on an amendment to expand for more information.

This page contains only Plan amendments for which staff reports have been published.  Please visit the Current Plan Amendments page to view Plan amendments that are under review.

Staff Report

On April 11, 2023, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors (“Board”) authorized Plan amendment SSPA 2023-I-2B for Tax Map Parcel 51-3 ((1)) 43 located at 6200 Wilson Boulevard, Falls Church, VA 22044. This Plan amendment considers adding a Plan option for a mix of uses, including up to 20,000 square feet of retail and an increase in residential potential up to 300 additional multifamily dwelling units, resulting in a total of up to 520 residential units on the property. The existing residential structure, with 220 units, is proposed to remain.

The Plan amendment is under review concurrent with Rezoning application RZ/FDP‑2024‑MA‑00013, which proposes rezoning the property from the R-20 (Residential, twenty dwelling units per acre) to the PRM (Planned Residential Mixed-Use) District to accommodate up to 250 additional multifamily dwelling units and 5,000 square feet of retail use. Any recommendation for this Plan amendment should not be construed as a favorable recommendation by the Board, the Planning Commission, or staff on the proposed zoning applications and does not relieve the applicant from compliance with the provisions of all applicable ordinances, regulations, and adopted standards.
