Deliberation Falls Church City

Welcome

Deliberation Falls Church City is a community deliberations program and an occasional online community news blog.  Our next deliberation in Fall 2008 is being planned now, with public input.

Deliberations in 2007 asked "What are we becoming?" in the spring and, in the fall, we considered the future of the City Center.  Starting in late February 2008 and continuing through municipal election day on May 6, the DFCCVA news blog covered the race for three City Council and three School Board seats. 

Please scroll down for more on our latest news and activities.  Comments are welcome and will be posted immediately.  News and announcements found on this site are often repeated to our e-list of 260 city residents.  To send us an email or to join the e-list, click here.

Deliberation Day 2009: City Zoning Rewrite

The planned rewrite of the city’s zoning code is our topic for the next Deliberation Day.  The date and venue for Deliberation Day are not yet fixed.

In response to participants’ suggestions, there are two new, additional features to our plans this spring.  First, we will do an informational dinner speaker and panel discussion on zoning at the Community Center, before Deliberation Day.  After Deliberation Day, we will convene an action forum, also at the Community Center, for people who want to follow up on particular ideas for influencing the zoning code revision.

More information to come.
