Planning Commission roundup: Yacine Jewelers deferred, calendar deferred to Jan. 15 and Puentes honored
Summary
At its Nov. 18 meeting the Planning Commission deferred the Yacine Jewelers site plan, deferred adoption of the 2025 meeting schedule to Jan. 15, approved minutes with one amendment, and adopted a motion of appreciation for Commissioner Puentes.
The Falls Church Planning Commission’s Nov. 18 meeting included several routine actions and recognitions.
On a procedural application, the commission opened and closed the advertised public hearing for the Yacine Jewelers site plan (application 20230138) and voted to continue the item until the applicant resubmits revised final site plans; staff indicated the item could resurface in February when resubmission occurs. The motion to close the hearing and reschedule was moved by Commissioner Stevens and passed unanimously.
Commissioners discussed the proposed 2025 meeting calendar, noted holiday and school-break conflicts and agreed to align the planning commission’s schedule with City Council practice; Commissioner Krasner moved to defer adoption of the calendar to Jan. 15, 2025, and the motion carried. The commission also approved Planning Commission minutes from Nov. 20, 2024, with a small amendment requested by Commissioner Stevens.
The body adopted a motion of appreciation recognizing Mr. Puentes for 11 years of service to the commission; members delivered remarks in tribute and the motion was approved by voice vote.
The meeting concluded with the director’s report covering upcoming items (election of officers and several work sessions and hearings in January and February) and staff noting ULI TAP invitations for a Gordon Road/triangle land-use study in late January.
