The zoning and land development process in Fairfax County involves comprehensive reviews by numerous county and non-county agencies. The list below includes all pending land use applications in the Dranesville District that require Board of Supervisor approval. The consideration of a Rezoning or Special Exception application includes an analysis by County staff and public hearings before the Fairfax County Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. All applications are reviewed for conformance with the County’s Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
Special Use Permit applications are decided by the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), which consists of seven members appointed by the Circuit Court. The Board of Supervisors does not have a role in appointing the BZA members or in deciding applications considered by the BZA. For more information about the BZA click here.

Plan Amendment 2017-II-M1
McLean CBC, Subarea 12, 6707 Old Dominion Drive, McLean
On February 20, the Board of Supervisors adopted a Plan Amendment for 6707 Old Dominion Drive. The amendment creates a new subarea (subarea 12a) within the McLean Community Business Center and designates the subarea as a Redevelopment Area. This reclassification sets higher expectations of a rezoning application including substantial pedestrian improvements, a reduction in the amount of surface parking, substantial landscape treatments, and streetscape enhancements. The amendment also allows residential uses, as part of an option for mixed-use development at an intensity up to 2.0 FAR. See associated Benchmark Associates rezoning application below.
