Alexandria council schedules final vote on North Ridge/Rosemont master plan amendment

Overview

Updated 1 hour ago

Alexandria residents in North Ridge and Rosemont have a scheduled chance to speak before City Council takes a final vote on a master plan amendment. The Nov. 14 public hearing agenda lists second reading and final passage of an ordinance adopting Master Plan Amendment No. 2026-00002 into the North Ridge/Rosemont Small Area Plan chapter.

The agenda does not describe what the amendment changes. A master plan sets land-use policy for a neighborhood, so the vote would make the amendment part of the city's guiding document for those areas. The listing is from the published agenda and has not been confirmed with the clerk; items can be deferred or withdrawn.

Why it matters

A final vote would add Amendment 2026-00002 to Alexandria's master plan, guiding land-use decisions in North Ridge and Rosemont.
