    Directions to the Government Center

  • The Planning Commission advises the Board of Supervisors on all matters related to the orderly growth and development of Fairfax County, including applications for rezoning, special exceptions, conceptual/final development plans, proffered condition amendments, and all associated amendments to such applications, as well as any amendments to the County’s Comprehensive Plan. The Commission also reviews all public facility applications to ensure that they are compatible in location, character and extent to surrounding neighbors. Further, the Commission provides citizens with an opportunity to voice their support for or concerns with an application for development in and around their community.
