In full
A potential applicant, Ox Hill Development Company, has proposed redeveloping the property into a 96-room, three-story hotel with a spa and pool, conference and event center, and restaurants. The property is currently zoned RM (single-family residential), and the proposal would require a rezoning to commercial status. The site is noted in the city's Comprehensive Plan under parcel-specific considerations, contains a Resource Protection Area at the rear, and has no current historic designation — though staff noted that a historic designation should be explored.
The matter has been reviewed at the pre-application/concept stage only: the Planning Commission held a pre-application briefing on February 10, 2025, and the City Council held a pre-application work session discussion on February 25, 2025. No formal action has been taken by either body. Neighboring Farcroft Homeowners Association representatives appeared at the February 25 Council work session to raise concerns about potential impacts on their adjacent community.
