designate the site at 9640 Fairfax Boulevard which will include the proposed Lamb
Center/Wesley Housing Project Site (the "Area" as more completely identified on Exhibit "A"

WHEREAS, the Lamb Center/Wesley Housing has proposed to construct
approximately 54 affordable dwelling units as permanent supportive housing within the Area,
which project will redevelop an existing obsolete motel building and ancillary parking; and
WHEREAS, this permanent supportive housing project will provide a critical source of
affordable housing for current and future low- -income persons in and within proximity to the
Area and which is essential toward supporting the Comprehensive Plan's adopted goal of
ensuring the availability of housing that is affordable.
NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY RESOLVES that the above -
referenced development is located within the Area (as defined above) that is hereby designated
a Revitalization Area within the City of Fairfax, Virginia, in accordance with Code of Virginia
§ 36-55-30:2.
THE CITY COUNCIL FURTHER DETERMINES that: (i) the industrial, commercial
or other economic development of such Revitalization Area will benefit the City but such area
lacks the housing needed to induce, among other things, the manufacturing, industrial,
commercial, governmental, educational, entertainment, community development, healthcare or
nonprofit enterprises or undertakings to locate or remain in this area, and (ii) private enterprise
and investment are not reasonably expected, without assistance, to produce the construction or
rehabilitation of decent, safe and sanitary housing and supporting facilities that will meet the
needs of low and moderate income persons and families in this area and will induce other
persons and families to live within this area and thereby create a desirable economic mix of
residents in this area.
