The 2025 Countywide Site-Specific Plan Amendment nomination period will open soon! This is Fairfax County’s process for reviewing proposed land use changes (called “nominations”) to the County’s Comprehensive Plan for individual sites. The Comprehensive Plan is used to guide the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to make land use decisions.
For the 2025 Countywide SSPA process, County staff are preparing minor edits and additional guidance for the submission and justification criteria, as well as additional guidance for nominators. These will be discussed at the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisor’s Land Use Committee meetings.
- PC Land Use Process Review Committee Meeting: September 26, 2024, at 7:30 p.m.
- BOS Land Use Policy Committee Meeting: October 1, 2024 at 11:00 a.m.
- Board action on the new process: Fall 2024
- If the Board endorses the 2025 process, additional community engagement will take place in advance of the nomination period.
