WHEREAS, Chick-Fil-A, Inc., Applicant, by Wire Gill LLP, attorney/agent, has submitted
Application No. 5E-24-00079 requesting Special Exceptions to the City Code as listed above; and
WHEREAS, City Council has carefully considered the application, the recommendation from
Staff, and testimony received at the public hearing; and
WHEREAS, City Council has determined that the proposed Special Exceptions are appropriate
because the proposal meets the requisites established by City of Fairfax Code Section 110-6.17 for the
following reasons:
1. The proposal ensures the same general level of land use compatibility as the otherwise applicable
standards;
2. The proposal does not materially and adversely affect adjacent land uses and the physical
character of uses in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development because of inadequate
transitioning, screening, setbacks and other land use considerations;
3. The proposal is generally consistent with the purposes and intent of the city code and the
comprehensive plan;
4. The proposal is based on the physical constraints and land use specifics, rather than on economic
hardship of the applicant.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fairfax on this 9'
day of September 2025, that Application No. 5E-24-00079 be and hereby is APPROVED, as requested,
with the following condition:
1. The proposed use shall be consistent with the Application and Statement of Justification
received with the application.
2. The applicant shall obtain all necessary local, state and/or federal permits prior to any
construction on site.
The motion to adopt the resolution was approved September 9, 2025.
