They have provided a colored site plan for the proposed COPT PCA.
Briefly, their request is to amend the approved office plan for the COPT property to revert back, more or less, to a plan that was approved back in 2000. They have provided the statement of justification that they filed which explains the background of this property.

8:20 -- FCDOT Transportation Priorities Plan

Proponent: Jeffrey Parnes Sully Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC)
Action: Review of the county's Transportation Priorities Plan
Location: Countywide
Fairfax County Department of Transportation Director Tom Biesiadny asked the TAC for input on the county's proposed Transportation Priorities Plan (TPP).
He provided three handouts, a brief on the TPP (pdf or pptx), and two lists of proposed improvements, the first containing shorter list of higher priority improvements and the other a longer list of lower priority improvements.
Jeff would like the committee's views on Tom's queries:
1. On the Outreach Effort: what would be the best communication tools/outreach ideas/suggestions to reach out to the people in Fairfax County, especially the people that we don’t normally interact with on transportation issues?
2. On the Short TPP list: is there anything that should be included in the Short list from the Long (Master)
3. On the Long or Master TPP list: is there anything that missing from the list or should be included in the Long list?
Please note that both lists are DRAFT lists. The Long list is attached in a DRAFT Excel spread sheet format. From that sheet, you can sort by district and sort the projects that were forwarded for consideration in FY 18-23. The column ACTION it will indicate if the project was forwarded for consideration, which indicates that project is on the short list. Please be advise this sheet is a work in progress and changes frequently.
The following questions were raised in another district - here are the questions and the responses that Jeff provided.

Q: Who decides what projects make this list? Is it county staff? Supervisors of that district? The TAC committee?
Q: How does a project get selected from the long list" to the short list?" Is that county staff? Is that supervisors? Is that TAC committee appointees?
Q: Who ranks the priority level for each project?
In essence the answer was the same for each query - county staff with input from the supervisors - the TAC was not involved until this request was received from the director.

Jeff would appreciate preliminary inputs by close of Tuesday 11 July if feasible. At the June SDCCA meeting coveringDevelopment in the Tri-county Area" it was suggested that improvements to Braddock Road east of Schneider Crossroads: the dangerous s-curve and the lack of left turn lanes at the intersection of Old Lee and Braddock roads should be included in the list of road improvements (long list).

Comment Online on the E.C. Lawrence Draft Master Plan Revision by 10 July

The Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) continues to explore new ways to engage with the community in its park master planning efforts. As the Park Authority requests public input related to the revision of the Ellanor C. Lawrence Park Master Plan, citizens who wish to comment are now able to use CiviComment as an alternative to email.
CiviComment is a crowdsourcing website that allows users to comment directly into the draft master plan document and discuss comments made by other reviewers. They understand that many residents will choose to provide their comments via email, in writing, or in person, which is fine. They welcome all comments! For those who are unable to download and print large documents (such as on a public computer) or those who prefer a more collaborative experience, please consider giving CiviComment a try.
The Ellanor C. Lawrence Park draft master plan revision is available for review on the project's website at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park Master Plan Revision. After following the link from the project's website to the CiviComment site, users will be asked to create an account before participating.
As CiviComment is a new tool for the Park Authority, they would appreciate any feedback about your experience using CiviComment. If the experience is beneficial, they may expand use of the service to supplement their public planning process on future projects.
All comments on the Ellanor C. Lawrence draft master plan revision must be received by 10 July 2017, to be included in the official public record. If not using CiviComment, written comments should be directed to Project Manager Ryan Stewart, Planning & Development Division, Fairfax County Park Authority, 12055 Government Center Parkway, Suite 421, Fairfax, VA 22035.

Learn About Proposed Zoning Changes That May Affect You at July 26 Fairfax County Open House

Come to an open house on July 26, 2017, at 7 p.m., at the Herrity Building to learn about proposed zoning changes that may affect you and your community.
You will be able to talk to zoning staff one-on-one, and learn about specific upcoming changes that are proposed, including rules for short-term rentals like Airbnb.

Come to the open house to learn how these proposed changes may affect you and your neighborhood.

Herrity Building

work program for zoning ordinance amendments

known as zMOD

At the open house, you’ll be able to hear short presentations on each of these topics, including a presentation on how zoning regulations are amended. You will also have an opportunity to learn about how zoning affects land use and development and talk one-on-one with staff or ask questions about zoning issues.

This year, some of the first priority zoning amendments include:

Short-term rentals: These are properties that are rented less than 30 days on websites like Airbnb, Flipkey, Homeaway, VRBO and many others. We are looking at changes that regulate where these rentals would be allowed, what kinds of properties could be rented and how often they could be rented out. You can take a short survey to provide input that will help to shape the proposed rules.
Rear Yard Coverage: It is increasingly common for residents to add hardscaping, like patios, to their yards, but current zoning rules make it difficult for homeowners with small backyards to do so. We are proposing changes to give homeowners living in single family detached homes more flexibility to add these features.
Restaurants: We are considering changes to give fast casual restaurants, like Panera, Chipotle, or Pei Wei, more flexibility to open in commercial areas.
Signs: Because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, we must rewrite our sign rules to make sure they are “content neutral.” Our current ordinance regulates or classifies certain sign types based, in whole or in part, on the message on them.
Agricultural Districts and Uses: We are proposing to update our zoning rules to accommodate increasing interest in establishing community gardens and opportunities for urban agriculture and to address agritourism activities on farms such as harvest-your-own activities, farm festivals and other special events.
Continuing Care Communities: The proposed changes are to consider creating a new use or zoning district to accommodate “full spectrum” care and accommodations, such as memory care or assisted living facilities.

Zoning Ordinance Administration Division

Survey for Proposed Zoning Rules For What Are Called Short-Term Rentals - Respond by 31 August 2017!

Fairfax County is working to create proposed zoning rules for what are called short-term rentals. These are homes, condos and apartments rented out for less than 30 days on websites like Airbnb, Homeaway, VRBO, FlipKey, or Roomarama.
They want your feedback to help them develop their proposal. Please take this short, 10-question survey by 31 August 2017: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/short-term-rentals.
The regulations may address:

Where these rentals would be allowed in the county
How often they could be rented out
What types of properties could be rented out
How many people would be allowed to stay in a property at any one time

They have just started their effort to draft possible rules-beginning with getting our thoughts. They also will be seeking more public feedback this summer. The Board of Supervisors must ultimately approve any proposed regulations, and they anticipate they will not hold public hearings until late this year. For more information, including future public meeting dates, visit http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpz/short-term-rentals.htm, or call the Zoning Administration Division at 703-324- 1314, TTY 711.
