Herndon Council Preview: Zoning Discussion on Demolition of Historic Landmarks

The Herndon Town Council will discuss a zoning ordinance text amendment to update the town’s ordinance on the demolition of historic district landmarks, buildings or structures tonight.

The amendment updates the town’s ordinance to bring it into compliance with Virginia State Code. 

During tonight's Herndon Town Council work session the council will also discuss a contract to sell 532 square feet of Town real estate on the north side of the Herndon Commerce Center building to be used as a planting strip.

The town would retain public easements for the improvement of the downtown streetscape and other public municipal uses. The Herndon Commerce Center plans to install windows on the parking lot side of the building.

The town will receive $17,290 for the piece of land, which is the appraised value.

• An ordinance granting a 20-year Franchise to Verizon Virginia, LLC for the location of telecommunications facilities within the Town’s public streets and public places.

• A resolution authorizing the submission of a local government grant application to the Virginia Commission for the Arts Challenge Grant.
