City of Fairfax 2035 Comprehensive Plan Five Year Review

Summary

The City of Fairfax 2035 Comprehensive Plan Five Year Review is a statutorily required periodic review (per Code of Virginia Section 15.2-2230) of the City's long-range land use and policy planning document. The review process included staff preparation of a draft updated plan, followed by Planning Commission work sessions and a public hearing. On September 9, 2024, the Planning Commission held a continued work session where staff presented the draft plan, with no action taken and a public hearing tentatively scheduled for September 23, 2024. On September 23, 2024, the Planning Commission held that public hearing and unanimously adopted Resolution PC-24-03 (7-0 by roll call vote), approving amendments to the 2035 Comprehensive Plan as drafted on September 18, 2024 — subject to modifications regarding incorporation of City Council feedback, clarification and confirmation of updated map graphics, and related inline text edits — and recommending approval and adoption by City Council. The matter was then forwarded to City Council for a public hearing scheduled for October 8, 2024, and has since been approved.
