- The Fairfax Forward study of the Fairfax Center Area Plan is currently underway. The study evaluates the Comprehensive Plan for the Fairfax Center Area to verify that factual information is current and that recommendations remain consistent with current policy and practice. The two main phases of the study include examination of:
- The peripheral edges of the study area, designated as Low Density Residential Areas and Suburban Neighborhoods on the Concept for Future Development; and
- The central portion of the study area, designated as the Suburban Center on the Concept for Future Development.
- The areas of Sully District that are within the Fairfax Center Area are being reviewed with the first phase.
- Old Business
- Updates on previously considered Land Use and Transportation issues:
- Assisted Living facility on Centreville Road - report provided by Jonathan D. Puvak, Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley & Walsh, P.C
- Smith Packett, a senior housing development company, has hired WM Jordan and Company to construct the Independent and Assisted Living with Memory Care building as well as the Skilled Nursing building. They are a large construction company based in Norfolk, VA, with significant senior housing construction experience. Construction has just commenced and the community should see clearing and grubbing activity in the near term as well as the installation of the erosion and sediment controls. Our arborist, along with the County’s arborist, is overseeing the proper tree save measures during this process. Once the erosion and sediment controls are in place, then the overall grading of the site will commence.
- The buildings should be completed in the 2nd quarter of 2015 if all goes according to plan. We are anxious and look forward to both of these senior housing buildings becoming a part of this community. To that end pre-marketing activities should commence for the independent living this summer and the assisted living in late 2014 or early 2015. Most of the skilled nursing residents will be transferred from the current INOVA Fairfax hospital nursing facility that will close down upon the opening of this new nursing rehabilitation facility.

- New Business
- Posibility of changing date of March Meeting
- Sully Supervisor Michael Frey and Sully School Board Representative Kathy Smith are hosting a Sully District meeting at Rocky Run Middle School on March 27th. In order to minimize the burden on Staff, Michael has asked whether the council if we would be willing to jointly host the meeting on the 27th and forgo the planned meeting on the 26th.
- We have inquired whether there would be a room for our use at the school so that the Council might hold its follow-on Land Use and Transportation Committee meeting there, and correspondingly have inquired whether the proponent for the Saudi Acadamy would be able to appear on the revised date.
