The proposal includes a mix of residential and commercial spaces.

The Reston Association Board of Directors has canceled a presentation by the owners of Reston National, citing concerns that the committee had included the presentation on its meeting agenda. This decision has sparked concerns among residents and business owners in the area, who are eager to learn more about the proposed redevelopment project. The proposal, submitted by Virginia Investment Partners 2019 LLC and NVR, Inc., includes a mix of residential and commercial spaces, including office buildings, retail stores, and residential units.

RA’s Land Use Resolution 6, Golf Course Policy, which was dated Dec. 15, 2016, states that Reston originated as a golf course community. Reston National and the Hidden Creek Golf Club would remain golf courses.

Rescue Reston works to protect the green spaces at Reston’s two golf courses. Reston National’s previous owners failed in their attempts to change the PRC designation.

The resolution was passed by the Reston Association Board of Directors in 2019.The Origins of the Resolution

The Reston Association’s (RA) Land Use Resolution 6, Golf Course Policy, was born out of a desire to address the changing needs of the community. In 2018, Wheelock, a prominent resident and advocate for the community, presented a similar proposal to the Reston Association Board of Directors.

The resolution, which aimed to increase the city’s affordable housing supply, was met with opposition from several members of the board. The motion to suspend was seconded by board member Sarah Johnson, who argued that the resolution was not in line with the committee’s original purpose.
