WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Fairfax
Virginia, believes that applications for amendments to the
City Zoning ordinance should be thoroughly examined by the
City Planning Commission in order that the Planning Commission
might give to the City Council its recommendations on the merits
of said amendments; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is of the opinion that to
permit an applicant to amend his application with respect to
the areas to be zoned or categories in which they are to be
zoned during or after his presentation to the City Planning
Commission and without requiring him to return to the Planning
Commission for a second examination of the amended application
would be to frustrate the reasons for requiring a review by
the Planning Commission.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council
of the City of Fairfax, Virginia, that the City's firm and
official policy is that in all cases where application has
been made for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, the
application shall be heard by the City Planning Commission
which shall make its recommendation on the unamended applica-
tion to the City Council. No amendments with respect to the
areas to be zoned or categories in which they are to be zoned
shall be made to the application prior to or during Council
hearing unless the applicant has returned for a second hearing
on the amended application before the Planning Commission.
Dedications to the City are not to be construed as amendments
to the application.
