On November 17, 2020 at the Fairfax County Planning Commission Markup, the Commissioners voted against our community and the initial County staff report regarding the property at 6235 Brandon Avenue. Prior to the vote, the Planning Commissioners received a considerable number of letters, comments, testimonies from Springfield Civic Association (SCA) members, and a petition with 270 signatures from our community members in opposition to the proposal to allow a seven story self-storage facility to be built on this site. The initial recommendation by the County’s Planning and Development staff was also in opposition to the proposed amendment. In spite of this community and staff opposition,Lag Lee District Planning Commissioner Daniel lagana made the motion to include the proposal in the Plan Amendment Work Program and the Planning Commission concurred. In other words, the Commissioners are in favor of further consideration to allow a self-storage facility to be built at 6235 Brandon Avenue.

We continue to stand in opposition to this decision because we believe it undermines the integrity of this area’s distinction within a Commercial Revitalization District (CRD).
We believe:
-
the longstanding CRD revitalization plan should NOT be set aside because of the current economic trend.
-
a storage facility of any size is NOT appropriate one block away from residential homes!
-
a 7-story storage facility is NOT the gateway feature we want characterizing the heart of Springfield.
Last week, members of the SCA Board and other SCA members met with Supervisor Lusk regarding the property at 6235 Brandon Avenue. Supervisor Lusk expressed his view that the development of one property can stimulate interest for other investors to look at an area. While there may be wisdom in this, we wonder (1) will this actually happen and (2) what type of development could this attract?
Next, the Board of Supervisors will be voting January 26, 2021 on whether they feel this proposal should be on the Plan Amendment Work Program. If accepted into the Work Program, the impacts and benefits of a self-storage located at 6235 Brandon Avenue would be further analyzed. There is no Public Hearing scheduled prior to the BOS vote, but public comment may be made by:
