FCDOT is considering a proposal to create a Community Parking District in Dranesville District, which calls for parking restrictions within the following boundary area:

• South of Route 7, running along the Fairfax County boundary with Loudoun County to the west;
• Along the Dranesville District Boundary with Hunter Mill District to the east; and
• The Dranesville District boundary with Sully District to the south

The district appears in two segments on the map around the Town of Herndon; boundaries are highlighted in red on the map below:

Community Parking Districts are established under Section 82-5B of Fairfax County Code, and prohibit parking of the following vehicles on public streets in residential areas:  

• Watercraft, boat trailer, motor home, camping trailer, or any other trailer or semi-trailer, regardless of whether such trailer or semi-trailer is attached to another vehicle;
• Any vehicle with three or more axles;
• Any vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating of 12,000 or more pounds except school buses used on a current and regular basis to transport students;
• Any vehicle designed to transport 16 or more passengers including the driver, except school buses used on a current and regular basis to transport students; and
• Any vehicle of any size that is being used in the transportation of hazardous materials as defined in Virginia Code § 46.2-341.4.

Community Parking District restrictions prohibit parking of these vehicles at all times; however, restricted vehicles may park while performing work at a residence within the district, or for a maximum of 48 hours while loading, unloading or preparing for a trip.
