Loudoun County Planning Commission · Planning Commission Work Session - Feb 12, 2026 · 12 Feb 2026 meeting

I do want to make a quick comment about

that these 39 houses we keep talking about, I've always said development is not a choice of something or nothing, it's a choice of something or something else.

In this particular case, one of those something else's would be 39 houses on 117 acres, which in this day and age, I can assure you, would not be 3,000 square foot houses.

These would be eight to 10 to 12,000 square foot houses.

They're gonna have five, six, seven people living in them, provided that the drain fields can support that kind of a thing.

Once that happens, I would venture to guess that a third of these houses will have 40 by 20 swimming pools in the back of them, which they'll bring in water from tanks, but then they're gonna constantly fill their systems as their pools, as they go about it.

So this is gonna be a high usage water area one way or the other.

This way it is regulated and it also regulates the type of businesses that can come here, which to the 5,000 square feet of rural economy uses they're providing, I'm never a fan of specifically saying you have to leave this for somebody because the marketplace is determining what shows up.

But in this particular development, in this particular part of the county,

I'm pretty sure more than 5,000 square feet of these uses will be rural economy uses, just by the very nature of where it's located.

Also, this project allows us to prevent what happened earlier this week, I hope to some degree.

A leading employer and leading business in Loudoun County recently took 250,000 square feet of warehouse space

in Clark County because we're running out of places for people like that to go.

An existing business in Loudoun County that has lots of other land and they sold some spaces and they need more, they had to leave the county to find it.

And this will help to some degree keep that from happening.

So I am...

I'm grateful for that.

And also, as Commissioner Kearse has said, I think the question Mr. Moderelli followed up with, as we pull the building envelope out of the tree save area, the likelihood of finding room for this approximately 130,000 square feet of land

of building space that they could find, it's gonna be difficult for them to find elsewhere.

The likely scenario is that that 130,000 square feet does come out of this plan because the nature of warehousing is it's horizontal, it's not vertical.
