Joint Sully Land Use and Transportation Committee topics
In light of an amendment to the Code of Virginia, the county has provided us with a statement be to read when our land use committee meets with a prospective applicant for a rezoning or proffer condition amendment (PCA) for new residential development and/or new residential use in areas of the County that are not exempt from Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303.4. It is recommended that if our committee is meeting with more than one applicant to read this statement for each rezoning/PCA.
All times estimates are provided as a courtesy, presentations will start after the completion of the proceeding presentation, however long it takes. Recommend that presenters be ready at least 30 minutes prior to their scheduled time.
Both the Zoning Administration Division, Department of Planning and Development, and Kathy Smith's office determined it would be best if Agritourism was not presented at tonight's virtual meeting. This topic has been postponed to our 20 April meeting — see below.
The Zoning Administration Division has been able to successfully upload the Voice Over of the Dranesville Town Hall presentation to Facebook which can be viewed here. Their plan of action is to create a similar Voice Over for Sully to be uploaded to Facebook and distributed to our group. This will allow residents to view the proposal while they are unable to meet in person. Once they get the "all clear" to reconvene public meetings, they will work with us to get on the agenda for an in-person meeting that allows for a presentation followed by Q&A. They have heard from a number of interested parties that they would appreciate an opportunity to speak to staff in person so they feel this is the best path forward while still keeping communication lines open.
They will not have the Sully specific Voice Over ready today but will get in touch with us and Supervisor Smith's office as soon as it is available. In the meantime, people can view the Dranesville video on Facebook. The only difference will be the Dranesville maps will be replaced with Sully maps.
We have received assurances from the zoning administrator, Leslie Johnson, that they will not move forward with drafting the amendment for BOS authorization until they have had an opportunity to meet with our group and others to allow for more participation and Q and A, which they hope can occur in April. They thanked us for reaching out to them.

With the resubmission of the revised application materials back to the County two weeks ago, this request has morphed a bit. The Applicant (Contract Purchaser of the Germain Property) is now seeking to develop only one new auto dealership on the front portion of the property (C-8 requested) along Route 50 (5.38 acres) and has amended the original application to now seek I-5 Industrial zoning on the rear 6.68 acres to accommodate new vehicle storage and vehicle service uses. A special exception for vehicle sales is requested for the C-8 land and a second special exception to allow a vehicle light service establishment for the I-5 land (note: vehicle storage and major vehicle service are by right permitted uses in I-5).
As circumstances permit, next month's meetings will start at 7 PM either virtually or in the Sully District Governmental Center Front Meeting Room, 4900 Stonecroft Boulevard, Chantilly, VA, 20151, unless otherwise indicated.
