New Police Station Takes Next Step

The Fairfax County Planning Commission agreed at its meeting on Wednesday to send several applications relating to a planned new FCPD Reston District Station to the Board of Supervisors.

That means the county is one step closer to building a new facility next to where the current station stands at Town Center Parkway and Cameron Glen Drive.

The planning commission recommended for approval a construction permit; an application to amend proffers previously approved for governmental uses; an application to permit the eight amendment of the development plan with unlimited FAR to permit site modifications and associated modifications to site design;  and an application to approve the Planned Residential Community  plan for reconstruction of a police station and government offices. 

The building will house, as it does now, the Reston District Police Station and the offices for the Hunter Mill District Supervisor. A 2006 bond referendum provided the $18 million funding  for the renovation/expansion of the current police department station (built in 1985) and the government offices.

Pending final approval, construction is slated to begin in late 2012 and be completed in 2014.
