The Tysons community is invited to help shape the future of certain areas currently designated for office use as Fairfax County kicks off a new planning study. The Department of Planning and Development has launched a holistic review of the Tysons Office Land Use Category within the Comprehensive Plan—the county’s guide for land use and development decisions.
Specifically, the study will focus on office designated areas generally located along the edges of Tysons, including areas near the Capital Beltway, Dulles Toll Road, south of Old Courthouse Road and the MITRE campus. While these sections are currently designated for office use, the study is evaluating a broader mix of potential uses, including residential and mixed-use development. New recommendations will also consider updated guidance for transportation, parks and open space, environmental sustainability and urban design.
Community insight, combined with staff analysis, will be used to update the relevant sections of the Tysons Urban Center portion of the Comprehensive Plan. All who visit, live or work in Tysons are encouraged to participate and help guide how these areas develop over the coming years.
The community is invited to:
- Take the Community Survey: Share your thoughts on future land use changes and improvements. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and will close on Sunday, June 14, at 11:59 p.m.
- Stay Informed: Visit the project webpage to learn more about the study’s scope and view the designated area map.
Community feedback is vital to ensure that Tysons continues to evolve as a vibrant, mixed-use urban center. Community meetings are planned for the summer as the planning study continues.
