6. The next Sully District Council of Citizens Associations Membership meeting will be online at 7:00 p.m. 18 December 2024.
   Topic: Long Term Planning for 2025

7. The JSDLU&TC will meet in person and online on Monday, 16 December 2024.
   
   • 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.
   • Prospective presenters are requested to register on the Land Use and Transportation Committee Presentation Registration Form as a condition of their presentation.
   • Topics:
     1. 7:00 — Conversion of a former Extended Stay hotel into a shelter facility for unhoused families
     • Proponent: Brianne Clohessy Fuller, AICP, Countywide Coordinator, Office of the County Executive, 12000 Government Ctr Pkwy, Suite 552 Fairfax, VA 22033
     • Proposal: The County has an application in for a 2232 Public Facility Review in the Sully District. The project proposes to convert a former Extended Stay hotel into a shelter facility for unhoused families. The subject site is within a small office style park at 3997 Fair Ridge Drive. At this time there is significant demand for a family shelter in this part of the county as nearby Embry Rucker and other facilities are lacking the space for unhoused people. This particular site meets the needs for this type of facility and the function of the building as a temporary lodging will remain the same.
     • Location: 3997 Fair Ridge Drive, Fairfax, VA 20333

8. Old Business
• RZ 2020-SU-005 / SSPA 2023-III-2BR
• The concurrent rezoning and Plan Amendment (RZ 2020-SU-005 / SSPA 2023-III-2BR) for A&A Contracting, Inc., to develop warehouse, parking or similar industrial uses at their property at the terminus of Dulles S. Court [Tax Map 33-2 ((1)) 1] was initially presented before the JSDLU&TC on February 20, 2023.
• The proponents were expecting to make a followup presentation, but instead RZ 2020-SU-005 is not quite ready for an upcoming meeting. The proponent requested to pull both that application and SE 2022-SU-00004 from our agenda and will reach out when they are ready.
• Centreville Mews Rezoning Application
• The Centreville Mews Rezoning Application was initially presented before the JSDLU&TC on 18 November 2024.
• Jim hart provided the following to the application proponent
  • A map of the Battle of Blackburn's Ford which we mentioned at the meeting last month, the map is by American Battlefield Protection Program — Park Service, Public Domain
  • The RZ site might be within the blue perimeter for the battlefield study area on that map
  • Here is a Wikipedia article on the battle
  • This below is a Library of Congress map, the battle went more or less along the current route of Rt. 28 in that area
  • Here is a Post article about the graves unexpectedly discovered at the excavation for the current McDonalds (further north than your site) and they were from that same battle (which went all the way down 28 to Bull Run)
  • Here is a Centre View article about it
  • This was a big deal at the time, they weren't expecting this, the McDonalds had been approved (your firm actually handled it IIRC) I think they were identified with DNA
• Items of General Interest:
  • Fairfax Federation Seeks Nominations for Fairfax County 2024 Citizen of the Year
    • The Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Associations is soliciting nominations for its 2023 Fairfax County Citizen of the Year. Each year, a selection committee of county-wide organizations meets to review nominations for the Federation's "Citizen of the Year" and merit awards. The winners are honored at our annual banquet, planned for Spring 2024
    • Both the Citizen of the Year Award and the Citation of Merit recognize and honor those citizens whose voluntary contributions of time and talent resulted in major accomplishments that have enhanced the quality of life for citizens of Fairfax County.
    • Eligibility:
      • Nominees must be current residents of Fairfax County.
      • Elected officials and full-time county or commonwealth employees are ineligible for consideration if their contributions are related to their full-time positions.
      • The Citizen of the Year is recognized for voluntary acts that are not related to employment.
    • Criteria:
      • Contributions and accomplishments must have countywide rather than local significance.
      • The nominee's achievements can be either:
        • General, such as multi-year community service with one or more organizations or activities with cumulative impact over the years of current importance or with positive implications for the future, or
        • Specific, including intense efforts as the major promoter of a single program or project completed in a finite period of time.
    • Persons whose contributions of time and talent resulted in major accomplishments that have enhanced the quality of life for citizens of Fairfax County, who do not meet the published eligibility standards for the Citizen of the Year consideration, may still be honored by the Federation. Please submit information about these nominees on the nomination form, indicating that this is an alternative nomination.
    • Nominations will be accepted until 28 Febuary 2025. The nomination form is available online from the Federation's website, http://www.fcfca.org/coy1.htm.
    • The Federation, established in 1940, is the countywide voice for homeowner, civic, and community associations. An all-volunteer organization, the Federation works on issues that impact Fairfax County residents, including education, transportation, environment, human services, land use, county budget, and county, state and federal legislation.
