A RESOLUTION:
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO ENDORSE THE COUNTY
PLANNING COMMISSION'S POSITION ON THE LANSDOWNE
REZONING
WHEREAS, Lansdowne requested a county rezoning of approximately 1,011 acres to allow the
development of 2,975 single-family detached, attached and multi-family units and 2,000 adult retirement
units; and
WHEREAS, in a March 2, 1995, staff report the county transportation staff "strongly objected"
to the applicant's proposal in the rezoning to delete the construction of a grade-separated interchange at
Route 641 (Lansdowne Boulevard) and Route 7; and

developing Lansdowne project which may ultimately include the Loudoun Hospital.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia as follows:
The mayor is hereby authorized to endorse the County Planning Commission position on the
retention of the grade separated interchange proffer in the Lansdowne rezoning (ZMAP 1994-0001, ZCPA

Mr. George Barton, Chairman
Loudoun County Board of Supervisors
18 N. King St.
Leesburg, VA 22075
Dear Chairman Barton:
The enclosed resolution endorses the County Planning Commission action of March 23, 1995, which
retained the transportation proffers of ZMAP 1994-0001, ZCPZ 1994-0002, SPEX 1994-0002,
Lansdowne. The construction of the interchange at Route 641 and Route 7 is an important element
of the Route 7 Corridor Transportation Plan and essential to ensure a free flow of traffic on Route
7.
This transportation improvement is also necessary to ensure effective economic development for
Leesburg and will assist in implementing the town's comprehensive plan. The town agrees with the
county staff's concern that the interchange may not be constructed when it is warranted if the
proffers are modified.
Thank you for any consideration.
Sincerely,
· Clem
Mayor
