County and regional approach is to concentrate growth in mixed-use activity centers
• Efficient
• Sustainable, accessible, prosperous, and livable
• Responsive to market demographics from millennials to baby boomers

Why Revitalization?
Revitalization – Is part of Fairfax County’s overall strategy to strengthen the economic viability, appearance and function of the County’s older retail and business centers
Through targeted efforts the County seeks to make older areas more:
Commercially competitive
Offer better services and improved living and shopping opportunities
Become viable candidates for private reinvestment

Revitalization Challenges
Overcoming Market, Physical, and Financial Barriers
Market conditions, and economic feasibility including capital required to redevelop income producing properties and lease buy-outs
Shallow, small and/or irregularly shaped lots Ownership patterns and parcel consolidation issues Fitting into the existing fabric of the area Balancing competing public interests, and meeting community expectations Existing development regulations that are “suburban” Parcels with underutilized or dilapidated structures Lot configurations which may require special considerations to become suitable for
development Constrained sites make expansions or enlargements of existing uses difficult under
existing zoning requirements 7

Metro Corridor Challenges
Transforming existing suburban development pattern into an urban pattern that supports walkability
Adding housing and residential amenities (libraries, parks and recreation) to formerly non-residential areas
Building partnerships and cooperation between adjacent property owners and with the County
Funding major transportation improvements to support growth -$3.1 billion over 40 years in Tysons8

Metro Corridor Challenges
Redeveloping land that is already developed and income producing
Phasing development over time:
• Buildings and sites – what does the interim state look like?
• Infrastructure (roads, facilities, park networks) –how is interim development served?
• Changes in technology and design – how to determine today what is needed tomorrow?
