- 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.

- 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.

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.
