Countywide Site-Specific Plan Amendment (SSPA) Process Meetings

A series of community meetings for proposed site-specific land use changes in Fairfax County will be hosted March 24 through April 21, as part of the countywide Site-Specific Plan Amendment (SSPA) process. The SSPA process allows anyone to propose a land use change to the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which guides decisions on land use and development.

A combination of virtual and in-person community meetings will be held from March 24 through April 21. During each meeting, community members will have the opportunity to learn more about the proposed land use changes, provide comments and ask questions.

Fairfax County received a total of 53 SSPA proposals, called “nominations”, to amend the Comprehensive Plan during the 2025 SSPA nomination period. On March 4, 2025, the Board of Supervisors accepted 43 of the nominations into the Screening Phase of the SSPA process to allow for community engagement and initial staff review.

Examples of the types of proposed changes include new residential development, including multifamily, townhouses, single-family detached, and age-restricted housing types, as well as proposals for mixed use, office, and retail.
