Kamp Washington
Summary
Kamp Washington is a named area within the City of Fairfax that is the subject of an adopted Small Area Plan. The Kamp Washington Small Area Plan has been in place long enough to be considered for review and update alongside three other area plans (Old Town, Northfax, and Fairfax Circle). The plan has already shaped at least one infrastructure initiative: the Fern Street Connector Path Project was identified in the Kamp Washington Small Area Plan, and a public hearing on that project was held before the City Council on January 13, 2026 (no Council action was taken at that hearing). In June 2026, both the Planning Commission (June 8) and City Council (June 23) held work session discussions on the potential review and update of the Kamp Washington Small Area Plan along with the three other area plans; no votes or formal actions were taken at either session.
Open questions & options on the table
- Whether the City will formally initiate a review and update process for the Kamp Washington Small Area Plan, and if so, on what timeline and scope.
- Whether the Fern Street Connector Path Project will advance to a Council action or approval stage following the January 2026 public hearing.
