• Proponent: Ardavan Badii
• Action: Special Exception Amendment #SE-2016-0159
• Location: 4086 Airline Parkway, Chantilly, VA 20151
The SDCCA heard this proposal at its June 2016 meeting, the information below is taken from that meeting's minutes.
Bullion & Diamond Co. LLC. has a request for a special exception to allow a Jewelry pawnshop in a C-5 (Industrial) shopping center. The application proposes a pawnshop ONLY for jewelry, diamonds, precious metals and stones within an existing business and existing location. A line of service would be added to the business for new and existing clientele. Applicant anticipates roughly 60 people will be at facility per month at peak, with a net gain of one or two a day as a result of this new service.
Their presentation is available for review both as PDF or Powerpoint.
Bullion & Diamond Co. LLC has been in same location 7 years - it has received good Yelp reviews.
Collateral (pawnshop) loans of are provided at the rate of 5 - 7 % per month on jewelry and watches.
Ardavan had to go through a process to be approved as a pawn broker which involves police approval and certification by a judge. As the last license was granted 13 years ago, county staff were unfamiliar with the process and had to review what was entailed. Fairfax County allows for the issuance of 13 pawn broker licenses; three are still available with the closest pawn broker in Vienna.

THE SDCCA had no objection to this Special Exception Amendment. We ask that if the staff report raises any objection, that the proponent return to the Sully District Council Land Use and Transportation Committee and indicate plans to address the staff concerns.

   • The Fairfax Center Area Study
   • Fairfax Center Area Study Map The Fairfax Center Area Study [Plan Amendment (PA) 2013-III-FC1] is a multi-phase planning study to examine the Comprehensive Plan guidance for the Fairfax Center Area. The Fairfax Center Area comprises approximately 5,500 acres west of the City of Fairfax and east of Centreville, generally between Lee-Jackson Memorial Highway (Route 50) and Lee Highway (Route 29). The area has evolved from greenfields into a community of neighborhoods, retail, and employment. The Fairfax Center Area Study provides an opportunity to assess how the Fairfax Center Area will continue to evolve in the next 20-30 years.
   • The Board of Supervisors adopted Phase I of the Fairfax Center Area Study [PA 2013-III-FC1(A)] on December 2, 2014. This phase involved an evaluation of the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for the suburban neighborhood and low density residential areas along the edges of the study area. The adopted text can be found here. The second phase, currently underway, is evaluating the Suburban Center portion of the study area and the Area-wide guidance. An area-wide working group has been meeting monthly to discuss proposed Plan changes. Find out more about the progress of the study at the working group's meetings page.
   • Public hearings for this study have been scheduled for:
   • Planning Commission: Wednesday, November 9, 2016 at 8:15 P.M.
   • Board of Supervisors: Tuesday, December 6, 2016 at 4:30 P.M.
   • Visit the meetings page for more information on the Working Group meeting schedule.
   • The Dulles Suburban Center Study
   • The Dulles Suburban Center Advisory Group has stated its meetings to consider updating land use recommendations for the Dulles Suburban Center.
   • The Dulles Suburban Center Study is a land use planning study that will update recommendations for future land uses and development. The last Comprehensive review of land use recommendations occurred in 1993. The comprehensive planning study will assess current conditions and the planned land uses of approximately 5,000 acres of land that are adjacent to the Washington-Dulles International Airport along the Route 28 and Route 50 corridors. This study will not include Land Units A and B of the Dulles Suburban Center since they were the subject of a recently adopted land use study.
   • Submissions to suggest potential changes to the Dulles Suburban Center Plan were received. Land Units A and B will be excluded from consideration at this time. Please see the form for other exclusion areas.
   • The interactive map of Dulles Suburban Center provides a variety of information, including layers showing the location of police and fire stations, schools, bike trails, bus routes, libraries and much more. Click on the "Layers" tab to the left of the map and scroll through the available layers. Please note that some layers are only visible if you zoom in or out on the map. You can also use the "Address Search" feature found below the "Information" tab to locate a specific address and see what features are nearby.
