Baywood submitted an application to rezone the property to allow the project to proceed, and the rezoning was approved by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in July 2012, according to the Southeast Fairfax Development Corporation. The MVCCA Planning and Zoning Committee approved a resolution in July that allowed the project to move forward. Baywood’s Site Plan application was approved in November and the project will be proceeding this year.
