“My motion is to amend Commissioner Scheifler's motion to approve his original motion, which was to recommend approval of the ZTA with a textual change from 90 days to zero days. My amendment would result in a... modified motion that would modify, which would recommend the approval of the ZTA subject to the modification of the text beginning with the number 90 and ending with the word approval such that 90 is struck and replaced with the number 180 and the end of that line is extended to read subject to the requirement that any such developments contain a minimum 500-foot setback of any…”

“Just a reminder to the audience and also to the Commission that if we are not able to take action tonight, if we're not able to find agreement on some reasonable compromise amongst ourselves, then there is, as I understand it, by this body not taking action, it starts a 90-day clock, at which point we either, at some point in the future, take action, have this meeting again, which could potentially not bear fruit a second time, a third time, I suppose. and also pushes the board's ability to act forward by three months, meaning that there would not even be the possibility for this zoning text…”

“Does the planning office have some kind of estimate or modeled number of the count of projects that would likely be submitted under criteria five, either projects that have already, you know, where the applicant has already been in preliminary discussion with the planning office or otherwise?”

“I certainly echo Commissioner Justice's thoughts on working with community organizations to get information out. Now on page, I believe it is, page 31 of this document, It's mentioned that with the 64% reduction that what remains are 130 parcels eligible under Criterion 5. That includes projects that have already been submitted for QC, or is that all eligible or potentially qualifying parcels?”
Planning Commission · Jul 15, 2026

“Okay. Um, but, but criterion five is also a catch all within 90 days for anybody else that submits to QC. So what is the number of parcels excluding the 130 that would technically be eligible should a project be submitted?”

“Okay. Is that information that will be available to the board?”

“Some of the industry information available suggests that for a data center development application typically takes about six to 18 months from sort of conception to submittal for QC. Is that in line with what you all see at the planning office? Do you all have any Prince William County specific data on that part of the project timeline?”

“So commissioner Landrum, um, the, the original, um, ordinance was, um, that, that was the product of work by the board.”

“And in their draft that was submitted to the planning office, was the 90 days included in that draft?”
Planning Commission · Jul 15, 2026

“But the 90 days in some form was in the original draft that was submitted to the planning office?”
Planning Commission · Jul 15, 2026
- Play at 1:35:43
“Right. So just to clarify, the 90 days was a number that was conceived by one or more of the supervisors and not the planning office itself?”

“I'd just like to offer one comment, if I may. Respectfully to Commissioners Ross and Carroll, I can appreciate the consideration of the broader industrial development trends, the tax base, and some of the desire to pump the brakes on development that has in a lot of ways scarred parts of the county and residents. But I would be very hesitant personally to supplant my views as a planning commissioner in suggesting that that 90-day be shrunk, because clearly there was an impetus for including it, some kind of grace period to facilitate the planning office's work or to provide more of a, I…”

“I have one question, just for clarification purposes. heard a couple numbers floated around for timelines. I know one is for the revision of the design standards. The other is for the zoning text amendment. What is the anticipated, just for my own mental note, what is the expected amount of time before the 90-day window would take effect by the passage of the zoning text amendment?”
Planning Commission · Jul 15, 2026

“And that's anticipated to be in September, is that correct? Yes, yes. Okay, and it's about three months from now. I'll just offer a comment, if I may. Given that an application prior to submission for QC is not an instantaneous process, and there may be some that are currently in development, there may be some that aren't, but I could anticipate sort of a mad dash by the development community, which would then put a lot of strain on the planning office, because three months between now and passage, starting that 90-day clock, WHEN A PROJECT AT, YOU KNOW, ACCORDING TO SOME INDUSTRY CITATIONS…”

“I'd like to offer a friendly amendment to Commissioner Scheifler's motion, which would be to make a recommendation with that recommendation of approval to make the additional recommendation that the 90 days be extended to 180 days for the purposes of both developer applicants and the planning office caseload.”

“Yeah, I'd just like to add that to Vice Chair Justice's remarks, due process is a foundational principle in the American legal system. And this is an outcropping of the American legal system. We're talking about in three months' time, if the schedule goes according to what's been forecast, in three months' time, Property rights that landowners have enjoyed for quite some time are going to be significantly restricted and largely eliminated. And so we're talking about significantly curtailing landowners' rights in a process of time in about three months. And I have no doubt that there are folks…”

“I would just say that with regard to the 180 days versus the 90 days, it's not a question of positives for the developer community, negatives for the residents. There are certainly... Plenty of people with a lot of money that can pay for the services required and expedite those services to try to get things in at the 90-day deadline. But I do have concern that that would result in substantially lower quality projects that take less of the concerns of the community into account or less of the concerns of the county into account. where they just try to rush them through 180 days would give…”

“On the friendly amendment. Did you accept my friendly amendment? I'm sorry?”
Planning Commission · Jul 15, 2026
- Play at 2:16:15
“Well, the first question would be, does Commissioner Scheifler accept my friendly amendment? If he accepts my friendly amendment, then it becomes part of his motion. Otherwise, there's a vote for it. So that would be the question. That's true.”

“Yes. With one point of clarification, Chair Brown, that the Amendment itself, I said a couple of additional things in addition to what I had intended as the amendment is simply the recommendation that it be extended to 180 days and not any reasoning that I may have offered afterwards.”

“All right. One moment. And I would like to... I would like to move that the Planning Commission recommend approval of subject to the proffers dated May 5th, 2026, conditioned on the applicant working with Planning and Transportation staff to, one, rework the entrance area between the main building and Marina Way to enhance the pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to support more use and comfort for people traversing between the property and the Greater North Woodbridge Town Center area. And two, explore all options to meet county parking requirements, including the conversion of full-size…”
