is less, provided that a minimum of seven (7) feet in width shall
be provided. Such landscaped strip shall be planted with at
least one deciduous tree meeting the dimensional requirements
contained in Section l10-259(a)(1)a, for every two hundred
square feet of required landscaped strip.
Each off-street parking area adjacent to a public right-of-way
shall be separated from such right-of-way by a landscaped strip
of not less than the width of the required building restriction

located and shall contain an earthen berm, compact evergreen
hedge or an equal or better alternative approved by the director
and at least one deciduous tree not less than three and one-half
inches in caliper for every 500 square feet of landscaped strip.
WHEREAS, City Council has determined that the proposed Special Exception is
appropriate because the proposal meets the requisites established by City of Fairfax Code

The proposed development is an interim use that will facilitate future
redevelopment of the subject site in a manner consistent with the
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed development will not result in inadequate amenity on the
subject site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fairfax
on this 12th day of November, 2002, that Application No. SE-311-02-1 be and hereby is

City Council approval SE/SUP plan and development conditions are completed within
six months after the currently pending application for a different, permanent use of the
site has been denied, withdrawn, or otherwise ceases to be diligently pursued as
determined by the Director of Community Development and Planning. However, in
the event that an application for an alternative use or development of the property is
approved by the City Council prior to that date, then the approval of such development
or use may provide for a reasonable extension of the deadlines established herein.

applications related to the subject properties. It is understood that failure to comply
with the conditions of approval and the requirements of the City Code constitute
grounds for revocation of the special use permits and/or special exceptions.
Adopted this 12th day of November, 2002.
