Stanley Martin Homes, LLC, has submitted two rezoning applications to Fairfax County for the East Link redevelopment project, which aims to transform approximately 36.22 acres of an underutilized office park in the Herndon Transit Station Area into a transit-oriented residential community. The applications, which are identical in their project details, represent a formal request to rezone the property from I-4 (Medium Intensity Industrial) to PDH-30 (Planned Development Housing). The application includes a Proffered Condition Amendment to remove the land from a prior 1980 approval and a combined Conceptual/Final Development Plan (CDP/FDP). As of Tuesday, the Fairfax County Planning Commission has not scheduled a public hearing on Stanley Martin's applications.
