Planning Commission to hear Rural Crescent mosque proposal

A plan to build a mosque just inside Prince William County’s Rural Crescent near Bristow will be heard by the county’s Planning Commission. 

From Prince William County Brenstville District Supervisor Jeanine Lawson: 

The Special Use Permit for the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) land use proposal is scheduled to be heard by the Prince William County Planning Commission (see below).  The commission is a panel of eight citizens appointed by the Board of County Supervisors (BOCS) to advise the Board on land use and development issues. All land use applications are first deliberated by the commission who will make a formal recommendation to the BOCS.  The application is then scheduled for a public hearing before the Board of County Supervisors for the final decision.

The case name/number is:  PLN2014-00313

The planning staff report will be available online October 26, 2016. At that time, I will forward the link. If you would like additional information on this application, you may contact Planning Manager Steve Donohoe. Phone: (703)792-5282 [email protected]

This marks the first time the proposal will have a public hearing. Employees of the Prince William County Planning Office have been working with developers from the All Dulles Area Muslim Society for more than two years — an unusually long amount of time, according to Steven Donohoe at the planning office.
