Merrifield Town Center Rezoning Application

December 5, 2005

Mr. Chairman:
Merrifield Mixed Use LLC is preparing to file a rezoning application for its proposed development of a portion of the Merrifield Town Center area. The application will include approximately 27 acres of land on the south side of Lee Highway, currently developed as a multiplex cinema. The applicant proposes to relocate the existing multiplex cinema to the rear of the parcel, and to construct a mixed-use "Town Center" development on the remaining portion of the property. The application contemplates the inclusion of 12,646 square feet of right-of-way in the application. The right-of-way proposed for inclusion is near the Lee Highway frontage of the property, and is approximately 12,646 square feet, or 0.29031 acres, of Route 744, Hilltop Road. The applicant proposes to include this area as part of its overall project, which incorporates major transportation circulation improvements as contemplated by the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is seeking Board authorization to include the right-of-way in its rezoning application.

Motion:

I therefore move that the Board of Supervisors include a total of approximately 12,646 square feet R-O-W adjacent to Tax Map Parcels 49-3-((1))-80A and 80B, in the Merrifield Mixed Use LLC rezoning application.

This motion does not relieve the Applicant from complying with all regulations, ordinances, or adopted standards, and does not prejudice the consideration of the rezoning applications or future abandonment/vacation requests in any way.
