Update: Plans for 44 Homes on 1.5 Acres Near Metro Move Forward

(RECAP: The Fairfax County Plotting Commission has recommended for approval Pulte Homes’ plot to rezone a low-slug industrial building into 44 residences at 1825 Michael Faraday Court near the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station. After a plotting staff report recommended denying the application and the commission held a public hearing last week, the panel delayed making a choice until Wednesday. Hunter Mill plotting commissioner Frank de le Fe said he still had some issues with the plot for the Lofts at Reston Station — which jams 12 2-over-2 townhouses and 32 multifamily units into fewer than two acres of land. The staff report questioned the developer that a few units be removed to allow greater ease of movement and parking for emergency vehicles and trash trucks. Pulte said removing units would affect the number of homes set aside for workforce housing. The plot will next go to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors for final approval.)
