The initiative, called Fairfax Forward, will serve as an alternative to the current system used by the county to make land use decisions.
Fairfax County residents have a little more than two weeks left to leave submit comments on the new Fairfax Forward initiative which will be an alternative to the Area Plans Review (APR) process for managing the county’s Comprehensive Plan.

The vote was unanimous following Mason District Supervisor Penelope Gross' recommendations after a public hearing on Tuesday.
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to approve the S11-I-B1 Peace Valley Lane property plan amendment following a public hearing about the property on Tuesday.

The decision contrasts with the position of the…
