Intersection:
Comprehensive Plan Updates (2014-2018)
• February 2014: Update of the Reston Transit Stations Areas in the Comprehensive Plan
• July 2014: Opening of the Wiehle-Reston East Metrorail station
• December 2014-November 2016: Hunter Mill Road study (initiated by FCDOT)
– Six alignment scenarios identified and studied
– Preferred alignment identified
• May 2017-March 2018: Comprehensive Plan Amendment initiated and adopted to incorporate planned realignment
– Did not address changes to surrounding land use

Hunter Mill Road &Sunset Hills Road
Intersection:
Challenges to Implementation
• Four separate owners own the needed right-of-way for Sunset Hills Road relocation, widening of Hunter Mill Road (north of DTR) and portions of the proposed roundabout
• Current planning and zoning permits low density residential development at 0.2-0.5 dwelling units per acre
– Discourages consolidation and cooperation
– Planned road improvements not implemented with by-right development
• Lack of available public funds to complete the work
– Projected cost: $73 million

Hunter Mill Road &Sunset Hills Road
Intersection:
Opportunity to Accelerate
Improvements
• With appropriate development and coordination, Brookfield Residential would complete the upgrades years ahead of schedule
• Public funds can be reallocated to facilitate other improvements
• Requires Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning to address surrounding land uses

Benefits of Acceleration
• Preliminary scenarios studied using VDOT standards for Level of Service (“LOS”) and delays with and without improvements
• LOS is valued with a letter grade (A through F)
• Length of delay determines grades

• 27 seconds better in AM
• 45 seconds better in PM
Dulles Toll Road ramps:
• 1-10 seconds better

= 236 new trips in AM peak hour and 308 new trips in PM peak hour
• Formal operational analysis will be completed with rezoning and subject to VDOT and Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) review and approval
• FCDOT will also likely conduct a traffic analysis as part of the Comp Plan Amendment
Hunter Mill/Crowell Road intersection:
• Add 1.7 seconds in AM
• Add 0.7 seconds in PM
Dulles Toll Road ramps:
• Add 1-10 seconds14

Land Plan Priorities
1. The realigned Sunset Hills Road will avoid adverse impacts to the Resource Protection Area (RPA).
2. The distance between the realigned road and the Hunting Crest community will be maximized.
3. There will be no direct or indirect connection from the realigned road to Hunting Crest Way (pedestrian or vehicular).
4. The project will have sufficient density to fund road improvements.
5. The project will focus on single-family homes with diverse unit types and a range of price points.

Next Steps • Request Comprehensive Plan Amendment (Q1/Q2 2020)
• Prepare rezoning application for submission to Fairfax County (Q2 2020)
• Review and revise development per County review (Q3 2020 - Q2 2021)
• Present to the Planning Commission for recommendation, and Board of Supervisors for approval (Q2 2021)
• Further site plan, construction permits, building plans, etc. to be reviewed and approved by the County (TBD)
