- Action: Bringing back a citizen nomination process for site-specific proposals
- Location: Countywide
As you may recall, our comprehensive planning process Fairfax Forward has been undergoing an evaluation to look at how successful the process has been as a replacement to the Area Plans Review process. Two of the main concerns have been the amount of public engagement in the process and the amount of general understanding of the process. Staff has been working with the Planning Commission to draft proposed modifications to the process which bring back elements of the old APR process – namely, bring back a citizen nomination process for site-specific proposals . We would like to discuss these changes with the Sully community.
