A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING BIENNIAL REVIEW OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council believe that a current and well-studied
Comprehensive Plan for the City of Fatrfax is essential for the purpose of
guiding and accomplishing the coordinated and harmonious developments of land
within the City limits; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council believe that the Comprehensive Plan
can be effective in accomplishing its purposes only if it is employed as a
primary consideration in establishing zoning classifications and drawing zoning
district boundaries; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council believe that, in addition to the
scheduled 5-year review, biennial review of the Comprehensive Plan is necessary
to provide for the trends of growth and change and for the current and future
needs of the community; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council have further determined that decisions
to amend the Comprehensive Plan in the biennial review must be based on
statistical data indicating a need serving the public interest;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Fairfax that
the Planning Commission and City Council establish and pursue a systematic
procedure for biennial review of the Comprehensive Plan to determine whether it
is advisable to amend the Plan, the first of such reviews to occur in 1990 and
1992;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any amendments resulting from the biennial
review of the Comprehensive Plan shall be based on statistical information
establishing an immediate need serving the public health, welfare or benefit;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all other amendments will be considered
as part of a scheduled five-year review of the Comprehensive Plan;
AND BE IT STILL FURTHER RESOLVED that, effective immediately, it shall be
the policy of the City of Fairfax to deny zoning requests that are not in
substantial accord with the adopted Plan.
Adopted this 25th day of April , 1989.
