East End Small Area Plan

The East End Small Area Plan is currently being developed. Follow this page to keep up with the planning process and opportunities to get involved.

Why Develop a Small Area Plan?

A Small Area Plan will provide a vision for reinvestment in the City’s East End. The East End is one of the City's eight "Planning Opportunity Areas" that were identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan as commercial areas that would benefit from renewed investment. Planning in advance of development is key to creating an environment that maximizes community benefits and minimizes negative impacts.

How Can I Get Involved?

Community involvement is a key component of developing a Small Area Plan. Questions and comments regarding the East End Small Area Plan can be sent to plan@fallschurchva.gov.

Draft Vision Statement 

The East End is a cultural hub focused on the Eden Center. Transportation investments put people first by prioritizing connectivity and accessibility. Green spaces provide opportunities for community members to gather, recreate, or relax. Nearby housing affordability is preserved while new commercial and residential development occurs within the Planning Opportunity Area.
