May 2013 Membership Presentation
Fairfax Forward
Fairfax Forward proposes a new approach to Comprehensive Plan review and community engagement in planning, as a replacement to the Area Plans Review process. Plan review would be scheduled using a Plan Amendment Work Program, which would order planning studies for a three-year period. The Planning Commission public hearing for Fairfax Forward was held on March 27, 2013 and their decision was issued on April 3, 2013. The Planning Commission recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt the process and work program as a pilot, with an evaluation in two years measuring the efficiency, effectiveness, accessibility, and impact. The Board of Supervisors public hearing will be deferred until July 9, 2013. For more information about Fairfax Forward, please visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpz/fairfaxforward. County planning staff member Meghan Van Dam, AICP, will present the Fairfax Forward proposal and will be joined on the panel discussion by Planning Commissioner Earl Flannigan and Federation Representative to Fairfax Forward & First Vice President Rob Jackson. The Federation is delighted to be joined by the Mason District Council members. All meetings of the Federation is open to the public. Thank you for sharing this event information with your friends and neighbors.
