Alexandria’s Department of Planning and Zoning has a full docket at its upcoming bi-monthly virtual community meeting.

On Sept. 2 (Tuesday), planning and zoning staff will conduct a meeting via Zoom to discuss updates to these issues:

“These updates offer community members an opportunity to stay informed about larger development projects under consideration, changes to regulations that affect new development, and upcoming planning initiatives,” DPZ said in a release. “Learn where to find more information and how to participate in the process.”

The meeting will be held via Zoom. More on the meeting and how to join is below.

The department held its last virtual meeting in June, and it included a large presentation on the projects.
