WHEREAS, City of Fairfax, by City of Fairfax City Manager, has submitted
Application No. SE-24-00482 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
110-6.16 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 44 day of October, 2025, that Application No. SE-24-00482 be and hereby is
APPROVED, as requested, with the following conditions:
1. DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT
PLAN SET.
2. THE PROPOSED BUILDING ADDITION TO THE STACY C. SHERWOOD
COMMUNITY CENTER SHALL BE APPROVED AS AN OPTIONAL
COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT.
The motion to adopt the resolution was approved October 14, 2025.
