7. LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE:
• 7:00 -- Horsepen Run LLC, the RZ at Middleton Farms, now known as Fosters Glen
• Proponent:Lori R. Greenlief, Senior Land Use Planner, McGuireWoods LLP
• Action: Rezoning
• Location: Middleton Farms
This committee previously heard this application in February 2018 before the staff report was available. At that time the recommendation was that the SDC had no objection to the approval of the Middleton Farm Rezonimg; WFFCA made no determination.
• Meeting Discussion:
• Plan amendment passed. SDC concerns regarding the widening of Frying Pan Road was raised at PC Plan amendment hearing. FCDOT indicated that they were looking for funds from the 2014 bond issue to plan the widening. The PC indicated that everyone was in agreement that the road should be a priority, but no funds were identified to make it happen.
• Lori Greenlief gave a presentation on the proposed development (pdf) (pptx)
• PC hearing is scheduled for on 26 April
• Schedule -- Phase 1 -- Build N/S road, which will continue with the name of Sunrise Valley Drive (floodplain letter was received from staff); the road is already designed, with the floodplain letter they can finalize the bridge (three concrete spans – looking at plan approval within 6 months
• Working with VDOT to approve plans to modify current signal at Sunrise Valley Drive and Frying Pan Road
• Some rear lots will need sound walls to bring the noise level to suitable levels
• There will be sufficient parking for visitors
• Parking for the new park fields will be off Sunrise Valley Drive, residents of this development will need to make a U-turn to get to the park fields
• Access to/from the Jackson Property is not finalized, pending the Jackson Plan Amendment, but is required by the Middle Farms plan amendment
• Recommendation: The SDC has reaffirmed that it had no objection to the approval of the Middleton Farm Rezonimg, but identified two concerns:
1. The ability of drivers going north on the North/South Connector to make a u-turn so as to get to the new park fields parking lots
2. There needs to be a plan to facilitate the improvement of Frying Pan Road from its intersection with Sunrise Valley Drive to its intersection of Centreville Road
• Dan Stevens. the project manager for the Frying Pan Road six lane widening project that will go from Route 28 to Centreville Road, provided this update after the meeting:
• The plan moving forward with the project is that once the land use in the vicinity of Frying Pan Road and Sunrise Valley Drive is finalized (i.e. Dulles Suburban Center study, rezonings), FCDOT will establish the next steps for a study.
• The study will be more involved than what was done for the Dulles Suburban Center study and the rezonings. Assuming that all of the land use plans and rezoning cases are finalized this spring, FCDOT could start scoping out a study by late spring/early summer.
• Concerning the timing of when Frying Pan Road will be widened to six lanes, they will have a better idea once they scope out the study.
• 7:30 -- PCA 82-S-032-02 (Sterling Center LC) on Penrose Place (link to staff report)
• Proponent:Rajai Zumot
• Action: Proffered Condition Amendment (PCA 82-S-032-02)
• Location: West side of Sully Road and south side of Penrose Place approximately 800 feet east of Lee Road
The applicant seeks approval of a proffered condition amendment (PCA) to permit a modification to the proffers to delete a requirement to develop in conformance with a plan that is no longer applicable.
• Meeting Discussion:
• The project is a by-right I6 development. In 1992 Southern States gained permission to use the site for petroleum use (southern portion of the has office building on it site). In 1992 the remaining I6 uses were limited to petroleum use only.
• Current request is to build another office on the northern portion of the site that is limited to petroleum uses only. They are submitting request to change the wording to allow otherwise allowed I6 uses and development plan for the additional office.
• The developer is building the office on speculation. His philosophy is to build manage the construction, the leasing and the maintenance of the building, keeping the structure rather than selling to others. All his other existing buildings are full, and he expects this to be fully rented as well.
• Site has been certified as environmental clean -- all petroleum uses remains have been removed.
• Hope to start this construction this fall; it will one year to build shell, another year to rent it out.
• He is offering $100,000 to install light. Waiting for VDOT to provide plans -- which should be in place in the next year
• He will provide health facility in building and electric charging stations
• PC date 19 April
• Recommendation: The SDC has no objection to the approval of the Proffered Condition Amendment.
8. Items of General Interest:
9. The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority adopted its first six-year transportation program
   • The Program is designed to provide congestion relief throughout the region. This milestone is a result of collaboration and coordination of Northern Virginia jurisdictions, transportation agencies, partners and Northern Virginians, who participated in the selection of projects that will improve the quality of life in the region. With a total of 44 regionally significant, multimodal transportation projects. the program includes funding for nine projects within Fairfax County. This accounts for $531 million or 41.32 percent of the $1.285 billion program.
   Fairfax County Projects:
   • Richmond Highway Widening (Mt. Vernon Memorial Hwy to Napper Road) – $127 million (full request)
   • Richmond Highway BRT - $250 million (full request)
   • Frontier Drive Extension – $25 million (partial funding; should fully fund the Right of Way)
   • Route 28 Widening (Route 29 to Prince William County Line) - $16 million (amount would fund widening to six lanes)
   • Richmond Highway/CSX Underpass – $12 million (full request)
   • Rolling Road (Hunter Village Dr. to Old Keene Mill) - $11.1 million (full request)
   • Fairfax County Parkway (Ox Road to Lee Highway, including Popes Head Interchange) - $67 million (full request)
   • Rock Hill Road Bridge - $20.6 million (partial funding, sufficient to move project forward)
   • Town of Vienna Mill Street NE Parking Garage – $2.3 million (full request)
   • NVTA invited the public to weigh in on candidate projects at several public meetings around the region to gather feedback from Northern Virginians. In addition, Fairfax County held two town hall meetings to gather community input on the proposed projects. In total, NVTA received more than 1,200 comments during the public comment period.
   • Through three previously adopted funding programs, the Authority has funded 78 transportation projects, valued at more than $690 million, including many throughout Fairfax County.
