CPR Thanks Supervisor Hudgins for Keeping Proposed Zoning Amendment off County Calendars as Dialogue With Reston Residents Continues

Following an energetic meeting of over 150 Reston residents on Monday evening, April 23, Coalition for a Planned Reston (CPR) sent a letter to Supervisor Hudgins expressing appreciation for supporting small group discussions and a continued hold on any action by County staff to move their proposed amendments forward. CPR held the meeting to review the results of a community-wide survey on the County’s proposed zoning density increase. CPR’s letter stated:

As you are aware, we believe strongly the County's proposals will make Reston less livable, less vibrant, less welcoming, less diverse and less united.  In short, the County’s proposed density amendments would seriously undermine everything that makes Reston, Reston.  

Nevertheless, we are committed to work together to find common ground and a path forward.  We believe that mutual trust is a key component for this to work and thus we are encouraged by your suspension of any further action on lifting the cap while we work together, including efforts by County Staff or others to schedule the proposed zoning amendment for consideration by the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.     

In addition to planning to attend working sessions with the Supervisor and County staff, in May CPR will be conducting community action meetings for 300 volunteers among the nearly 500 Restonians who completed CPR’s survey.
