Herndon High Monopole Decision Delayed Indefinitely

HERNDON, VA — Two upcoming decisions before the Fairfax County Planning Commission affecting the Herndon and Reston communities have been indefinitely postponed due to meeting cancelations.

The Planning Commission decision about whether to approve an application to install a telecommunications monopole on the grounds of Herndon High School has been delayed yet again.

Commissioner John Ulfelder (Dranesville) made the motion at the Planning Commission's March 4 meeting to postpone the vote until its March 18 meeting to allow Fairfax County Public Schools an opportunity to address some of the concerns raised by Herndon residents about the monopole.

The Planning Commission canceled its March 18 meeting, pushing back the vote to an as yet to be determined date.

The Planning Commission was also going to review an application by Wiehle-Reston East Ventures, LLC to add signage on the north side of Sunrise Valley Drive, the east side of Association Drive and west side of Commerce Park Drive at its March 25. That meeting has also been canceled.

According to the Planning Commission calendar, here is the status of upcoming land use meetings:

March 25 - Planning Commission Meeting: Canceled

March 26 - CIP Committee Meeting: Canceled

April 1 - Land Use Process Review Meeting: Canceled

April 2 - Planning Commission Meeting: On Schedule

All agenda items that were on the schedule for the canceled Planning Commission meetings will be rescheduled for future dates.
