Joint LUZ/EPT Committee Meeting

Residents of Great Falls, both GFCA members and non-members, are invited to attend this meeting sponsored by the Land Use & Zoning (LUZ) and the Environment, Parks & Trails (EPT) Committees.

A range of environmental issues have been raised by residents, GFCA, and Fairfax County staff relating to the proposed development of Brooks Farm. GFCA requested a two-month delay in the county’s consideration of this rezoning application so a more in-depth environmental review could be conducted.

GFCA will be hosting a public forum on Tuesday, April 14 to learn more about the County's environmental evaluation of the proposal and answer questions from Great Falls residents. The meeting will be held at 7:30 pm at the GF Library.

GFCA has asked Fairfax County officials to address:

• Department of Public Works and Environmental Services - storm water management, Resource Protection Areas (RPAs) and forest management
  
• Health Department - well and septic review
  
• Department of Planning & Zoning - other environmental reviews
  

Speakers will address both broad county environmental policies and specific considerations re: the Brooks Farm application. The meeting is a joint initiative of the GFCA Land Use & Zoning Committee and the Environment, Parks & Trails Committee.
