SUBJECT: Rezoning Proposals for McLean Planning District, Fairfax
County, Virginia
1. The Planning Division of Fairfax County, Virginia, presented
orally to the County's Planning Commission a preliminary proposal for
rezoning the McLean area, which is the eastern portion of Dranesville
Magisterial District. The public hearing on this proposal is scheduled
for 28 February or later, probably in the McLean High School gymnasium
for its more convenient location and capacity. The presentation was at
2150 hours on Monday, 3 January 1966, at the County Courthouse in
Fairfax. Stephen Hartwell presided as the newly re-elected Chairman of
the Planning Commission.
e. .une iirsz plan Ior McLean was in .Ly>O. IT, allowed for a - C/REC
tripling of the McLean area's population which now is 36,000. The new
plan will increase the allowable population slightly, to 114,000 capac--DC/
ity. Zoning will be reviewed on a five-year basis up to 1985. Nine
new schools are planned, but no rapid transit system can be supported,/

The Pimmet Run Parkway has been deferred in favor of widening Dolly-
Madison to a 160-foot right of way with connections to Arizona Avenue
(Chain Bridge) and Glebe Road. The extension of George Washington C/,
Parkway beyond the Beltway (Route 495) was recommended to complete the
loop of this roadway system. The sketched route was well inland from. the Potomac River. Route 66 is scheduled for completion in 1971, then
Dulles Access will be extended to south at Pimmet Run.
;. The proposed rezoning plan would provide for multi-family
housing in the McLean Commercial District area primarily, it formerly
having been confined to Tysons Corner. Multi-family housing under
present policy can be within a half mile from the periphery of the
business district which must be of sufficient size and variety to sup-
port the concentrated population. The maximum density considered was
thirty units per acre but mostly ten units per acre, or town houses,
were provided. Generally, the high density area was south of Dolly
Madison, at McLean Center and Tysons Corner. There is, however, a
forty-unit zone at about the intersection of Pimmet Run and the Arling-
ton County Line. There will be a p ing center developed at the
intersection of Kirby Road and Old 4ni .3e .tire area under

discussion is thirty square miles having 98 per cent of the population
in single-family detached residences. The rezoning applications cur-
rently are predominantly for town house development. Pressure for high
density is severe.
4. Single-family residential zoning is planned to become more
concentrated, especially south of Dolly Madison where about 1.6 units
per acre will be allowed on an average. No change appeared indicated
for north of Dolly Madison and east of our Headquarters site nor any
shift in present policy precluding high density land use within a half
mile of the present George Washington Parkway right of way.
5. The 514 acres presently zoned for multi-family housing is pro-
posed for increase to 750 acres, of which one-third will be in the
McLean commercial area, with the balance to the south and around the
clover leaf of the Dulles Access Road. No expansion of industrial-land
is proposed. The staff plan was modified to fit the recent employment
shift from preferred decentralization to the current revision of 85 per
cent centralization in the District of Columbia.
