TextAn Update on Braddock District Land Use Items
University Mall
On April 20, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed rezoning for the University Mall which has been under
consideration and review for two years. On April 26, at a public hearing
before the Board of Supervisors, the Board of Supervisors agreed and
approved Supervisor Cook’s recommendation to approve this application by
unanimous vote. The site plan for this project, 8974-SP-001-1 has now
been received and is available in the Braddock Office for review at any
time.
Trinity Christian School
Trinity Christian School has submitted an application
(SEA-96-B-010-02) to alter operational development conditions imposed in
the original Special Exception. The school seeks to expand the use of its
playing fields and buildings by youth sports leagues and other non-profit
organizations such as Boy and Girl Scout troops and to permit the use of
its facility for Sunday worship service between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. with a
maximum seating of 240.
A community information meeting has been scheduled at the school for
June 9, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. Letters will go out to impacted neighbors and
more information will be available in June. A copy of the application is
available in the Braddock District office.
Song Subdivision
A public hearing before the Planning Commission has been scheduled
for a two house subdivision (SE 2010-BR-006) proposed at 10611 Zion Road
in the Kings Park West community on May 26, 2011. A staff report will be
available on May 11. Register on-line to speak on this application
http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/planning/speaker.htm or call
703-324-2865.
The Special Exception is required because this two acre property does
not have the minimum 150 feet of required public road frontage in an R-1
zoning district. The proposal is to allow 100 feet. More information on
this application will be mailed out this month to affected neighbors.
Commonwealth Swim Club
A community information meeting on the proposal to place a cell
tower in the rear parking lot of the Club was held on April 11 and was
well attended. Residents expressed continuing concerns about the
visibility of the top of the 120 foot tower which is designed to resemble
a pine tree. Ongoing concerns about the impact on property values and
possible health risks were also verbalized. Staff is still reviewing the
submittal and no hearing dates are yet established.
Steamboat Landing Lane Subdivision
An onsite meeting with neighbors, engineers from the firm of Charles
P. Johnson Associates and the proposed contract purchaser, the
Christopher Companies, was held on April 27 to discuss ongoing concerns
regarding this three house “by right” subdivision. Questions were asked
about sight distance for the entrance, street lights, possible egress
consolidation into one driveway and mitigating the impact of construction
traffic on the neighborhood. Dialogue on the best way to resolve these
issues continues.
