There are two meetings this week with some relevance to MAC zoning.

Monday, 1/13/2020, at 7:30 PM in Town Hall, the Town Council work session will include discussion of projects to undertake from the Maple Avenue Multimodal transportation study, and discussion of the scope of work for the contract to rewrite all the zoning rules in Vienna, including MAC zoning.

Thursday, 1/16/2020, at 7:30 PM in Town Hall, the last item for the Board of Architectural Review meeting is a request to add screening to the Flagship Car Wash to prevent interior lighting from that building from disturbing the neighbors.

Commentary:  Of these, the public discussion of the scope of work (ground rules) for rewriting Vienna zoning comes as a surprise.   This item was only added to the agenda as of last Friday, and the last I had heard, that discussion was supposed to take place in private via a “Noah’s Ark” meeting.  I’m not sure what, if anything, has changed about .
