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 planning policy document.

On September 9, 2024, the Planning Commission held a continued work session on the draft, with staff presenting the updated plan and no formal action taken; a public hearing was tentatively scheduled for September 23, 2024. That hearing proceeded as scheduled, and on September 23, 2024, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution PC-24-03 (7-0 roll call), approving the amendments and recommending City Council adopt the updated plan.

The resolution was subject to modifications including incorporation of City Council feedback, clarification and confirmation of updated map graphics, and related inline text edits. The matter was subsequently forwarded to City Council for a public hearing scheduled for October 8, 2024.
