15 development proposals submitted for Mason District

Developers and property owners have submitted 53 nominations to the 2025 Countywide Site-Specific Plan Amendment process.

Fifteen of the proposed developments are in Mason District, including a major project on the long-vacant Sears property in Seven Corners.  

The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to accept or reject the nominated projects at its March 4 meeting.

The nominations that are accepted will be reviewed by planning staff. Community meetings will be held in March and April.

After that, the Planning Commission will hold public workshops on the nominations in April and May to determine which ones should be added to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Work Program. The Board of Supervisors is expected to adopt a new Work Program in June.

Nominations that are added to the Work Program will proceed to the evaluation phase for formal review as Plan Amendments. Development proposals still in play at this point will go through a community engagement process and public hearings before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.
