Leesburg Approves Rezoning For Drive-Through Restaurants: Report

LEESBURG, VA — The Leesburg Town Council granted rezoning approvals Tuesday to the developers of an area between the Dulles Greenway and the Leesburg Executive Airport that will allow four new drive-through restaurants to be built. Peterson Companies is developing the area, known as Compass Creek, part of which is inside Leesburg town limits and the rest is in Loudoun County.

The names of the four food establishments have not been disclosed, although one will be a coffee shop and three will be fast-food restaurants, the Loudoun Times-Mirror reported Wednesday.

Loudoun County is reviewing a proposal for a 116-room hotel, gas station and convenience store, retail shops and a sit-down restaurant that would be built near the four new fast food restaurants, according to the Times-Mirror.

The Leesburg Town Council is hoping to complete a boundary line adjustment with Loudoun County that would bring hundreds of acres, including the rest of the Compass Creek property, into the town limits, Loudoun Now reported. The majority of the expansion area is eyed for a Microsoft data center campus.

Approval of the rezoning applications for the restaurants reportedly was one of the conditions Peterson Companies had placed on its acceptance of incorporation into the town.
