A Small Area Plan (SAP) defines a vision for redevelopment or reinvestment in a relatively small area of the City, approximately 10 blocks in size. The vision is sensitive to the area's history and responds to the current and future needs of the City's residents, workers, and visitors.
The East End Small Area Plan will provide a vision for reinvestment and building on the existing strengths of the area. The East End is one of the City's eight "Planning Opportunity Areas" that were identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan as commercial areas that would benefit from renewed investment. Planning in advance of development is key to creating an environment that maximizes community benefits and minimizes negative impacts.
Community involvement is a key component of developing a Small Area Plan. Questions and comments regarding the East End Small Area Plan can be sent to plan@fallschurchva.gov.
The area outlined in yellow in the map below is the Planning Opportunity Area. The borders include Wilson Blvd., E. Broad St., and Hillwood Ave. Businesses in the area include BJ's Wholesale Club, the Eden Center, Koons Ford, 24 Hour Fitness, and other smaller businesses. There are no residences in this area.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback. The City has taken those comments and feedback into consideration for the revised draft plan, below. New text and other changes are in red:
The City, accompanied by a Vietnamese interpreter, hosted a series of four pop ups at the Eden Center to further engage with the community, giving anyone interested an opportunity to learn more about the plan and give feedback and suggestions.
To learn more about the pop-ups and what we heard check out the Pop Up Report here:
