VIENNA, VA -- A proposal for a Chick-fil-A is tentatively scheduled to be brought up by a developer May 9 before the Town Council.

The fast-casual restaurant serves up chicken sandwiches, strips and salads. Currently, there are several of the restaurants in Northern Virginia, including one at Tyson's West on Leesburg Pike.

The restaurant would be located at 540 Maple Ave. West (see map below) and is being proposed by Vienna Car Wash LLC, according to Planning Commission minutes.

A car wash is currently located at 540 Maple Ave. West.

Due to its location, the proposal faces more rigorous scrutiny under the new Maple Avenue Corridor (MAC) endeavor, which reinforces Maple Avenue’s role as the Town’s Main Street.

The Town Council approved the proposed MAC ordinance at their Sept. 22, 2014 meeting and was adopted by the Town Council on Oct. 20, 2014.

The MAC institutes a multi-step process with increased public engagement and public hearings. This enhances the opportunity for community involvement and a collaborative spirit in shaping the long-term character and resiliency of Maple Avenue, according to the Town.

Patch will keep an eye on any new updates or hearings on the proposal.
