Falls Church planning commission forwards recommendations on Lee Park 2 site plan after stormwater, alley and screening concerns
Summary
The planning commission reviewed the Lee Park 2 subdivision/site plan on Jan. 7 and voted unanimously to transmit recommendations to the designated agent, asking staff and the applicant to consider denser evergreen screening behind alley units, a resident path through a small amenity area, and a bike rack in the Park Avenue amenity zone. The application is by Lee Park LLC / Madison Homes and proposes 15 single‑family lots on ~31,071 sq ft.
The Falls Church Planning Commission on Jan. 7 transmitted formal recommendations to the city’s designated agent on the Lee Park 2 subdivision and site plan after a lengthy discussion about stormwater, alley access, parking and landscaping.
Staff described the application as a consolidation of three parcels into a 15‑lot subdivision totaling about 31,071 square feet in the southwest quadrant of Park Avenue and North Lee Street. The applicant, MS Lee Park 2, LLC, contract purchaser Madison Homes presented the site plan and said the proposal is a by‑right development under the T‑1 zoning standards: 15 units, a density of roughly 21 units per acre, and a 45‑foot maximum building height.
"This is a true by‑right plan," Andrew Rosenberger of Madison Homes told commissioners, noting the project includes a retaining wall (maximum about 3½–4 feet) and hydrologic modeling prepared by Kimley‑Horn to address overland relief and a 100‑year storm event. Rosenberger said the firm paid for the modeling and that it shows no adverse impacts to adjoining properties, including the Kensington and the Hilton Garden Inn garage.
