What is the agenda for the April 22 2026 Fairfax County Planning Commission meeting?
Well, good evening. Welcome to our April 22nd, 2026 Public Planning Commission meeting. We're going to open with Commission Business, which will include three application deferrals before convening a public hearing on a set of proposed minor and editorial revisions and changes to the zoning ordinance. So moving into Commission Business, Commissioner Bachelak-Causey, you have a deferral motion?
I do, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. This application is not ready, so I move that the Planning Commission defer the public hearing for SE 2023-DR-00036 to a date certain of July 15, 2026.
It's been moved by Commissioner Bacikazi, seconded by Commissioner Landgraf and Bennett. Is there any discussion? Hearing no discussion, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, nay. Any abstentions? That motion carries. Uh, vice chair of Spain, you have a deferral motion.
Uh, yes, I do chair. Um, we found out at the moment that there are some, um, some additions that need to be, or adjustments that need to be made to the application. So. I plan to move. Oh, I, I moved that the planning commission defer the public hearing for application. 2232-2025-SU-0000 to a date to be determined in the future.
Second. It has been moved by Commissioner or Vice Chair Spain, seconded by Commissioner . Excuse me. Yes, ma'am.
Can I have you repeat that case number? Yes, ma'am. I move that the Planning Commission defer the public hearing for application 2232. And we've got a second
from...
To a date to be determined in the future.
And we have a second from Commissioner Bennett.
Why did Commissioners defer three application hearings and what dates were set?
Is there any discussion? Hearing no discussion, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, nay. Any abstention? That motion carries as well. And then finally, Commissioner Carter, you have a deferral motion.
I do. This is RZ-FDP-2025-HN-00018. Old Reston Avenue Association, LLC. I intend to defer the public hearing for RZ-FDP-2025-HM-00018 from May 6, 2026 to June 3, 2026. A deferral motion will be made on May 6. This is a 2,000-unit development. The first four blocks of a 2,000 may need
a little bit more time. So you're announcing that there will be a deferral?
Yes.
Okay. Thank you. And Parliamentarian Bennett, you have an announcement on behalf of Secretary Hancock regarding minutes.
Yes. The draft minutes for the January 7, 2026 meeting January 14, 2026, and January 28, 2026 meetings have been distributed, and we will vote approval at next week's meeting on April 29, 2026.
Okay. Thank you. Finally, we have no committee meetings this week. Now, does any other commission have any business? Okay, then I'll close Commission business, and without objection, we will move immediately into our one public hearing. Before we do so, let me start off welcoming those attending our meeting here in the auditorium, which, thank you, sir, for being here, or watching on TV or subsequently on video. We invite and encourage the public to speak to the Commission. We have just a few ground rules that ensure everyone is treated equally, and the Commission hears from all who wish to be heard. Individuals wishing to provide testimony to the Commission have a number of options. They can testify here in person, or they can provide testimony by phone or YouTube video.
At the designated point in the public hearing, I will call for speakers from a speakers list, and they will either come forward or their video will be shown, or they will be connected by telephone. There will then be an opportunity for anyone else who would like to speak to the application to come down to the podium or to call in on a number that will be provided on the screen. Speakers testifying via video must sign up and submit their video no later than 9 AM on the day prior to the hearing. For all in-person or telephone testimony, you are given four minutes to speak as an individual. If you are the spokesperson for a group, you are given seven minutes. All persons testifying by video will be given three minutes to speak.
Should you decide during the public hearing that you wish to be heard and did not previously sign up to do so, you will have three minutes to speak.
