McLean Citizens Association (MCA) board members on Oct. 5 approved a resolution support a proposed Fairfax County comprehensive-plan amendment that would reclassify 7.6 acres in central McLean for higher-density development.
The site, known as McLean Community Business Center (CBC) Subarea 29, is located along Beverly Road between Elm Street and Fleetwood Road.
No big plans are set for the site, currently home to The Ashby at McLean apartment complex and some office and retail uses. County officials are requesting the plan amendment to allow mixed-use development with a floor-area ratio (FAR) of 3.0 at the site in order to allow the McLean CBC to qualify for an exemption from the Proffer Reform Bill passed by the General Assembly last year.
