The Loudoun County Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 29, 2025, addressing several critical issues related to a proposed development project. Key discussions focused on water supply concerns, road alignment, and the potential impact on neighboring properties.

One of the primary topics was the viability of the on-site well, which is reported to produce 52 gallons per minute for up to 14 hours a day. While initial assessments indicated no issues, county consultants later raised concerns about the long-term sustainability of this water supply and its potential adverse effects on nearby wells. The applicant had attempted to engage neighboring landowners in additional water studies to monitor well usage, but many declined to participate, leaving some uncertainty regarding the project's impact on local water resources.

Another significant discussion revolved around the proposed road alignment shown in the countywide transportation plan (CTP). Commissioners questioned the necessity of extending the road, as its current alignment appears to encroach on private property. It was suggested that the road could be re-evaluated to determine if it remains necessary or if it could be modified to avoid impacting neighboring yards. The county's Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure (DTCI) would need to assess this further.

Additionally, the commission discussed the types of uses permitted under the proposed zoning changes. If approved, the development would allow various industrial and office uses, excluding data centers. Questions were raised about the maximum height and square footage allowed for the most intense uses, with further clarification needed in future sessions.

The meeting highlighted ongoing concerns regarding the balance between development and community impact, particularly in relation to water resources and infrastructure planning. The commission plans to continue discussions in a work session to address these issues and determine the best path forward for the proposed development.
