MCA board unhappy with plan for higher density in Fairfax development, InsideNOVA, May 5, 2016
This InsideNOVA article provides an excellent overview of the draft FAR 5.0 zoning ordinance amendment and the McLean Citizens Association's opposition to it. It begins:
McLean Citizens
Association (MCA) board members on May 4 inveighed against a proposed
Fairfax County zoning-ordinance amendment that would ramp up building
density dramatically in some areas.
The proposed
amendment would increase the maximum allowable floor-area ratio (FAR) to
5.0 in selective areas of Planned Development Commercial and Planned
Residential Mixed-Use zones.
Sites not within selective Planned Development
Commercial areas could have a maximum FAR of 2.5, up from 1.5, according
to an MCA resolution that passed unanimously.
“Many in the county are concerned about this,”
said Mark Zetts, who chairs MCA’s Planning and Zoning Committee. “This a
real deal-breaker.” . . .
