The project, which is slated to have 1,058 units along more than 1,100 acres, has caused significant resident pushback. The developments are in the rural areas of western Prince William County, near the Prince William Gold Club, the Alderwood Fields, Patriot High School and Burnside Farms.

According to the staff reports, there would be a total of 855 single-family detached homes and 136 townhouses across the three properties. The developer planned to have 712 acres dedicated to open space with 10 miles of trails nestled within the development. There would also be transportation improvements along Vint Hill Road to accommodate the large development.

“Prince William County is launching an exciting new planning effort to help guide thoughtful, sustainable growth along the Vint Hill Road Corridor,” the county’s Planning Office announced. “The Vint Hill Corridor Small Area Plan (SAP) will build on our community’s vision: protecting rural character, strengthening economic opportunity, and preserving what makes this area truly special.”

The Vint Hill Corridor SAP will be developed in collaboration with residents, business owners, and local stakeholders to balance growth, enhance mobility, and support locally rooted businesses while maintaining the area’s rural charm. A community kickoff meeting will take place on November 17.

In a 6-1 vote — Christopher Carroll, who represented the Brentsville District, left the Commission before the decision — the Planning Commission is passing along the project to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration.

The project spans 1,123 total acres with 1,058 units across three developments. One of the developments is adjacent to the Prince William Golf Club and the Longleaf Nature Preserve and is aptly named “Long Leaf at Kettle Run.”
