Board postpones decision on 4100 Fairfax Drive to Aug. 19 pending code citation
Summary
Hearing on RPC 1404625 (4100 Fairfax Drive) was postponed after board members requested the county provide written code or statutory authority supporting the adaptive-reuse cost-based assessment method; the case is set for Aug. 19.
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.
Chair requested the county provide the specific code references in writing; the county assessor indicated staff would research and provide the requested material. The chair said that, depending on the county's response, the board may revisit prior decisions if the legal research supports different conclusions.
