Fairfax County has published proposed revisions to agriculture and commercial land uses and zoning regulations as part of its zoning modernization project called zMOD.
These proposed regulations will be presented at a public meeting on Feb. 26, at 7 p.m., at the Fairfax County Government Center, conference rooms 4 and 5, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax.
This meeting can also be viewed live on the Fairfax County Zoning Facebook page.
zMOD includes a categorization and modernization of the uses permitted or conditionally permitted in different zoning districts. Drafts of the modernized use names, definitions and regulations are being released in four installments, in the following order:
- Industrial uses (October 2018)
- Public, institutional, and community uses (November 2018)
- Agricultural and commercial uses (January 2019)
- Residential, accessory, and temporary uses (expected Spring 2019)
The county’s consultant, Clarion Associates, will return in May 2019 to conduct several public and stakeholder meetings to present and answer questions about proposed changes to all the land use regulations.
For more information, visit the zMOD webpages to view both current and previous presentations and documents for the project and provide comment. Or, contact the Department of Planning and Zoning’s Zoning Administration Division at 703-324-1314, TTY 711, or by email, for questions, feedback and requests for reasonable ADA accommodations.
