Changes
to Growth Proposal: 33,821 New Houses
This afternoon the county finally released the analysis of the revised
Dulles
South CPAM, just one business day before Monday's public hearing.
It is not fair to expect citizens to review the analysis and give
meaningful comment on the CPAM by Monday.
The
new analysis shows that the revised CPAM would allow a staggering
33,821 new houses and apartments
to be built in the Transition Area of eastern Loudoun. It also shows
that developers have already submitted rezoning applications to
build 19,000 of the new houses which would be allowed under the
proposed changes.
Because the
analysis was just made available today, we haven't had time to fully
examine the information. However, the county
staff report outlines the Planning Commission's recommendation
for:
- 33,821
new houses and apartments
- Almost
90,000 new residents
- 18,780
new students
- $1.13
Billion in capital costs (capital
costs don't include operating expenses like teacher salaries)
Tell
the Planning Commission:
We encourage
you to read the county's current
growth plan for this area, which would allow 4,608 new houses.
