8. Old Business
• No Va Casino
• Senator Surovell's bill to allow Fairfax County voters to choose whether or not they want an entertainment district in Tysons Corner (SB756) appeared before the Gaming Subcommittee of the General Laws and Technology Committee. He believes that Northern Virginia, has felt the brunt of the federal government’s irresponsible and reckless cuts. This has had significant impacts on families and the local economy, which has put a huge strain on our state and local budgets. He wants to ensure that the county is able to generate crucial revenue to pay for its needs and not give them away to out-of-state entities. Keeping our dollars in Northern Virginia and Fairfax County is why he has fought for this bill. He is also proud to stand with our local unions who support this because they know this project will bring good union jobs, both construction and permanent jobs, to Fairfax County.
• Notwithstanding the BOS explicitly telling the Virginia General Assembly that it did not support a Tyson casino and testimony to that effect by several organizations, Senator Surovell's bill was referred to the State Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee by a vote of 5-3. Vienna Town Mayor Linda Colbert; Linda Walsh, Lynne Mulston, and Jennifer Falcone from the No Fairfax Casino Coalition; Vienna resident Beth Eakis; Rhena Hicks (Freedom VA); and FFX County Legislative Affairs Director Jennifer Van Ee testified against the bill at an 8:00 a.m. hearing scheduled with less than 24-hours' notice.

    • Policy Plan Update Approved
    The Board of Supervisors approved Plan Forward Phase 1, the first major update to the Policy Plan since 1990. Revisions modernize countywide land use, transportation, environment, parks and healthy community policies, with equitable development integrated throughout. Community input shaped the updates, and work on Phase 2 will begin in 2026 with more opportunities for public engagement.
    • Board Approves Updated Rules to Help Preserve Affordable Housing Opportunities in Manufactured Housing Communities
    • The Board of Supervisors approved three actions aimed at supporting and preserving manufactured housing communities in Fairfax County. This includes a zoning amendment that modernizes standards for manufactured housing communities, and a separate Comprehensive Plan amendment that outlines long-term goals for preserving affordability and stability. The Board also adopted new Manufactured Housing Relocation Guidelines that outline how manufactured housing homeowners and renters will be assisted if a community is proposed to redevelop to a different use.
    • Fairfax County has seven manufactured housing communities with about 1,750 homes, including the Meadows of Chantilly in the Sully District. These neighborhoods are a crucial but shrinking source of affordable housing. In most cases, residents own their homes but rent the land underneath, which creates unique challenges that are not found in other housing types.
    • Share Your Thoughts on Potential Changes to Regulations for Accessory Living Units
    
    • Accessory Living Units (ALUs) are a secondary dwelling area of a single-family detached residence, often known as in-law suites, basement apartments or guest houses. The Zoning Ordinance contains requirements for ALUs, which include limitations to size, occupancy, entrances, parking and more. 
      
    • Potential updates to the county’s zoning regulations for (ALUs) are under consideration, and the community is invited to weigh in through an online survey. 
      
    • The community survey offers county residents an opportunity to submit feedback on potential changes for ALU regulations, which county staff will use alongside their analysis to determine next steps. The survey will be open through February 28.
