A staff report with recommendations for Reston’s Comprehensive Plan is available for public review and feedback ahead of public hearings for the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Prepared by county staff, the recommended plan text includes changes to the plan’s guidance for topics like land use, affordable housing, open space, community health and more.

Last updated in 2015, the Reston Comprehensive Plan is the guiding document for land use and development decisions in Reston. The Plan Amendment, detailed in the Reston Comprehensive Plan Staff Report, was informed by input from staff analysis, a two-year community task force and public feedback in more than 50 task force meetings and seven post-task force public meetings.

The Planning Commission public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, June 14, at 7:30 p.m. Those who wish to share their views in-person should sign up as a speaker online. Ahead of the public hearing, comments may be submitted to the Planning Commission by phone, in-person, email or recorded video.

If the Planning Commission recommends moving forward with the Plan Amendment, then the Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, July 25. Following the public hearing, the Board of Supervisors will take action on the recommended Plan Amendment text.
