Some topics to be discussed this week include:
- Rewriting all Town of Vienna zoning ordinances.
- Increasing allowable lot coverage in residential areas in exchange for stormwater management.
- Rental electric scooter pilot program.
- Red light cameras and speed cameras in Vienna.
- Possible sale of 380 Maple West building rights to Sunrise Assisted Living.
- Extending the MAC moratorium to June 30, 2020.

Monday, 10/28/2019, at 7:30 PM in Town Hall, Town Council will hold a work session to discuss, among other things, the scope of a proposed (roughly) quarter-million-dollar contract for a consultant to help update the Town’s zoning ordinances. Separately, they will discuss a proposal to allow 30% lot coverage in residential areas (up from the current 25%) if homeowners implement a stormwater management system.

Tuesday, 10/29/2019, at 8:00 PM in Town Hall, the Transportation Safety Commission will meet to discuss, among other things, a pilot program for rental electric scooters (and other “shared mobility devices”) in the Town of Vienna. Separately, they will discuss red-light and speed cameras in Vienna.
Prior to this, starting at 7 PM, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety advisory committees will meet, but no agenda is yet available for that meeting.

Tuesday, 10/29/2019, at 7:30 PM in the Community Center, there will be a meeting to introduce (probably) Sunrise Assisted Living as the (possible) new owner of the 380 Maple Avenue (Maple and Wade Hampton) MAC development.
As far as I know, there has been no official public announcement of this by the Town of Vienna. I believe that some individuals received an email. Citizens are welcome to hear Sunrise’s plans and to ask questions or offer concerns.
Wednesday, 10/30/2019, at 8:00 PM in Town Hall, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on extending the MAC moratorium to June 30, 2020. (The extension should not be controversial, but this public hearing is a legal requirement.) Prior to this, starting at 7:00 PM, they will hold a work session for discussions with the Town Attorney.
This is a public hearing, so I believe citizens may speak for up to three minutes.
