Staff Reports for Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments

The Code of Virginia requires localities to review their Comprehensive Plans at least once every five years. The Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan is evaluated more frequently to manage the dynamic changes in the County and to conduct Plan maintenance.  Plan amendments are initiated by a motion by the Board of Supervisors.  In order for an amendment to be adopted, it must be the subject of a public hearing before the Planning Commission (PC) and the Board of Supervisors (BOS). See the Planning Commission's Meeting Calendar for information about currently scheduled Planning Commission public hearings. The Board of Supervisors must vote to adopt the amendment in order to change the Plan.  

Staff reports for the proposed amendments scheduled for public hearing are listed below. Click on an amendment to expand for more information.

This page contains only Plan amendments for which staff reports have been published.  Please visit the Current Plan Amendments page to view Plan amendments that are under review.

Authorized for Public Hearing

On October 25, 2022, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors (“Board”) authorized a comprehensive review of the Plan guidance for the Centreville Area and Suburban Center. In doing so, the Board noted that the existing Plan language had not been comprehensively reviewed in more than 25 years and directed staff to evaluate whether the adopted recommendations continue to reflect current conditions, community needs, and countywide priorities. The Board further emphasized that the study should advance inclusive community engagement goals and, based on study findings, identify new Plan priorities, potential opportunities for redevelopment, and potential changes to the Comprehensive Plan.

Staff Report

On January 26, 2021, the Board of Supervisors (“Board”) authorized the consideration of Plan amendment (PA) 2021-IV-LP1 for the LP2-Lorton-South Route 1 Community Planning Sector and Suburban Center (“the Suburban Center”) in the Mount Vernon Supervisor District. The most recent areawide review of the LP2 Suburban Center Plan occurred in 1992. Over the past decade several community members met regularly to discuss a new vision and outlook for future development to create an environment for living, shopping, dining, gathering and working within the local setting. Accordingly, a comprehensive review of the Plan guidance for this area is warranted to ensure it remains responsive to current conditions and future opportunities. In authorizing this amendment, the Board directed staff to identify and evaluate potential changes that reflect the community’s vision through an updated plan for land use, placemaking and connectivity, parks and recreational areas, environmental corridors, historic resources, public facilities, multi-modal transportation and other supporting infrastructure that could contribute to an improved “sense of place” within the Lorton area.
