Impacts of the 14 developer proposals

Below is a summary of the impact these 14 proposals would have on the County.  The information is derived from the Board of Supervisors' adopted Capital Intensity Factors, which set standards of service.

  •   Number of new residential units:  33,883
  •   Number of new residents:  90,237
  •  Number of new students:  18,527

Got traffic?
How about over 1 million more car trips on our roads?

The potential 33,883 new residential units would have a severe impact on Loudoun's already overburdened road system.  On average, one single family house adds 10 daily vehicle trips to our roads.

Sources of additional daily car trips:

Developer proposals: 338,883
Houses in pipeline:  384,790
Loss of rural zoning:  467,026
