Countywide Policy Plan Amendment
On December 6, 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized the consideration of a Comprehensive Plan amendment to update the Countywide Policy Plan. The Countywide Policy Plan consists of the following elements: Preface and Introduction, Land Use, Transportation, Housing, Environment, Economic Development, Heritage Resources, Public Facilities, Human Services, Parks and Recreation, Revitalization, and Visual and Performing Arts.
The multi-year update to the county’s Policy Plan is called Plan Forward, and will include several opportunities for community feedback that begin May 2024 and will continue into 2025. The goals of Plan Forward are to:
- Review, update, and streamline existing Policy Plan elements;
- Add new Policy Plan elements as needed; and
- Ensure the Policy Plan is in alignment with the Countywide Strategic Plan, the One Fairfax Policy, and other recently adopted policies and initiatives.
Plan Forward is an important opportunity for everyone in Fairfax to make sure the updated Comprehensive Plan policies enhance the quality of life for our residents.
