The Code of Virginia mandates that the Comprehensive Plan be reviewed at least once every five years. Because of the dynamic growth experienced by the County over the past thirty years, the Plan has been evaluated more frequently. Amendments are initiated by a motion by the Board of Supervisors. Proposed amendments to the Plan are submitted for a public review process. In order for an amendment to be adopted, it must be the subject of a public hearing before the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors must vote to adopt the amendment in order to change the Plan.
Please see the Planning Commission Web page for current information about Planning Commission public hearings.

Plan Amendment (PA) S07-CW-T1 (Incorporation of references to the Hunter Mill Road Traffic Calming Study into the Comprehensive Plan) concerns Hunter Mill Road from Chain Bridge Road (Route 123) to Baron Cameron Avenue (Route 606). The proposed Plan amendment will incorporate references to the Hunter Mill Road Traffic Calming Study into the Comprehensive Plan. The Hunter Mill Road Traffic Calming Study was sponsored by the Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) on behalf of the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA), and was completed in December 2006. This study makes recommendations for Hunter Mill Road in its entirety from Baron Cameron Avenue to Chain Bridge Road that would help to improve both traffic operations as well as preserve its historic and scenic nature. As part of the Plan amendment, references to the study would be added to the transportation sections of the Comprehensive Plan for those planning districts and sectors that are adjacent to or include the Hunter Mill Road corridor.
