Task force to resume work next month on redevelopment proposals in Annandale and Seven Corners

A mixed-use development is proposed for this site on Little River Turnpike in Annandale.

The Mason District task force appointed by Supervisor Penny Gross to review a series of development proposals will resume its work in August. 

The task force met only once, in March, before its work was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

 

The proposals – to amend the Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan – are part of the South County Site-Specific Plan Amendment Process. As part of that process, the county invited the public to propose development projects in the Mason, Lee, and Mount Vernon Districts. Twenty-two plan amendments are on the table for those three districts, including six projects in Mason. 

 

 

Each supervisor in those districts authorized a task force, made up of residents and business people – to review the proposed plan amendments and recommend whether they should be added to the county’s Comprehensive Plan Amendment Work Program. Task force meetings are open to the public. 

 

The Mason District Task Force will meet as follows: 

 

• First Christian Church, 6165 Leesburg Pike, Seven Corners – up to 113 multifamily age-restricted units, up to 5,000 square feet of ground floor medical or general office space, and a place of worship of up to 27,500 square feet; and 
• 6420-6443 Arlington Boulevard and 6220 Spring Terrace, Falls Church – an assisted living, nursing care, and memory care facility of up to 90,000 square feet. 

Aug. 19 

• 6152 Leesburg Pike, Seven Corners – five to seven townhouse units on a lot occupied by a single-family house; and 
• Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center, 3159 Row St., Seven Corners – a community center, house of worship, senior housing, and retail on 7.5 acres.   

Sept. 2 

• Public Storage, 4312 Ravensworth Road, Annandale – an improved self-storage facility designed as an adaptive building; and  
• Western Annandale CBC, 7616 Little River Turnpike and 4102-4125 Woodland Road, Annandale – expansion of the Annandale Community Business Center and a planned mixed-use residential/commercial development on a 10-acre site currently occupied by two office buildings and several single-family homes. 

Sept. 9 – Final vote. 

 

Members of the public can participate in some of the meetings through the WebEx video platform or by phone, but the details on accessing the Mason District task force meetings haven’t been announced yet. 

 

After the task forces complete their review, they will share their recommendations with the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will then hold public hearings before deciding which proposals should be submitted to the Board of Supervisors. The BoS will make a final decision on whether the plan amendments should go forward.
