Reston Resident Analyzes Supervisor Alcorn's Podcast Remarks on Reston National Golf Course Zoning
Reston resident and real estate analyst Michele Hudnall has published an analysis of Hunter Mill District Supervisor Walter Alcorn's interview on the Reston Observer podcast, the first episode of a four-part series on the Reston National Golf Course applications released September 23rd.
In the interview, Alcorn said he did not find the applicant's 1966 zoning documentation conclusive and that the applicant appears to be "setting up a court fight." Hudnall's analysis compares his remarks with the 1971 development plans and approvals C-135, C-203 and C-281, and tracks the residential acreage from about 11 acres described in the interview to 14.7641 in the original filing and about 16 in the revised filing (RZPA-2025-HM-00034, RZPA-2026-HM-00007, RZPA-2026-HM-00008).
The Fairfax County Planning Commission public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, November 4th, at 7:30 p.m. at the Fairfax County Government Center. Hudnall is scheduled to appear in Part 2 of the series, followed by Jessie Williams of Rescue Reston and applicant attorney Mark Looney.
Hudnall is also collecting responses to a survey on zoning and open space, open to anyone in Fairfax County: <a href="https://forms.gle/Eqi2EJj4jANXrreP6" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://forms.gle/Eqi2EJj4jANXrreP6</a> &#120350;&#120361;&#120354;&#120373; &#120362;&#120372; &#120373;&#120361;&#120358; &#120346;&#120374;&#120371;&#120375;&#120358;&#120378;? Preparation in the event this comes back through the front door, what do we as a community see as development compromise. 10 Questions. Check the Boxes. Register Your Voice.

Alcorn on Reston National: "I DON'T BUY THAT"

Reston Resident Analyzes Supervisor Alcorn's Podcast Remarks on Reston National Golf Course Zoning...

Reston East: County Counts 35 Parcels. There Are 70 Deeds.
A parcel-level review of Fairfax County tax assessment records inside the Reston East study boundary found 70 separately deeded tax records across the area the county describes as 35 parcels.
Forty-one of those 70 are individually owned professional office suites held by 28 different owners across two condominium regimes &mdash; a structure that cannot be consolidated regardless of price.
The finding bears directly on a question county planning staff raised at the August 31 Reston Planning and Zoning Committee meeting, where six unrelated development concepts submitted across two application cycles were presented. Staff told the committee the concepts do not relate to one another and do little to establish a street grid, connected park network, or adequate open space.
Every parcel in the study area is zoned I-3, Industrial Light Intensity. Owners currently operating inside the boundary include the Federal Republic of Germany, the American Society of Civil Engineers, Atlantic Union Bank, and Hensel Phelps Construction. The two professional condominium regimes carry $27.9 million in assessed value and pay $401,356 annually in county taxes, with values rising.
County staff are currently preparing guidance to send developers back to redraw their concepts &mdash; before revised submissions, a staff report, or any public hearing.
