The county’s Site-Specific Plan Amendment Process, or SSPA for short, gives the public a way to propose a land use policy change in the Comprehensive Plan for a site or collection of parcels. This is a biennial countywide cycle for reviewing site-specific proposals, called nominations, to change the Comprehensive Plan’s land use recommendations. The Comprehensive Plan is the guiding document for land use and development decisions in Fairfax County and sets forth the community’s vision for the future. With the property owner's consent, anyone can submit a proposal for site-specific land use changes.
