Aug 13, 2026

The full story

The board postponed consideration of the RPC 1404625 appeal for the property at 4100 Fairfax Drive until Wednesday, Aug. 19 to allow the county to supply written legal citations explaining the statutory authority for assessing an approved adaptive-reuse conversion as a depreciated apartment shell and land-rate combination. Appellant counsel and several board members raised concerns about whether the county's approach — valuing approved future rights and a depreciated shell rather than treating the site as comparable to a site-plan demolition scenario — is authorized by Virginia law.
