Fairfax County is officially evaluating the potential of incorporating a Reston Community Center satellite facility in its anticipated redevelopment of a Lake Anne apartment complex.
The county’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously yesterday (Tuesday) to have planning staff review a comprehensive plan amendment significantly expanding the amount of non-residential uses allowed on the Crescent Apartments property at 1513 and 1531 Cameron Crescent Drive.
The Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) is starting to test the waters on an initial concept for its plan to replace and expand on Reston’s Crescent Apartments.
Now more than a decade in the making after a previous push to revitalize the Lake Anne area stalled, the redevelopment will prioritize preserving the property’s status as a valuable affordable housing site, while also better integrating it with the surrounding community, according to FCRHA Associate Development Director Thor Nelson.
