Zoning Map Amendment (Rezoning)

Summary

The Zoning Map Amendment (Rezoning) concerns the property at 4085-4117 Chain Bridge Road, associated with the "Highlands at Mantua" application. The proposal seeks to rezone the site from PD-C (Planned Development-Commercial) to PD-R (Planned Development-Residential), while retaining the existing ACOD (Architectural Control Overlay District) designation. The application is bundled with a Special Use Permit, Special Exceptions, and a Major Certificate of Appropriateness. On June 8, 2026, the Planning Commission held a post-submission work session in which staff presented a report and the Commission provided feedback; no vote was taken at that stage. On July 27, 2026, the matter was scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Commission, though no minutes or action record from that hearing is yet available.
