Land use · Falls Church, Virginia

senior assisted living

Named in 2 of this ordinance’s zoning districts.

How this ordinance defines it

The operative definition is the local one. Codes routinely subdivide a category into tiers — “day care 2, family”, “group home 2” — and attach different permissions to each, so only Falls Church’s own text settles what this covers.

48-453, 48-521, and 48-546 are permitted. Apartment structures, indoor commercial recreation uses, and senior assisted living facilities are permitted within MUR option 1 applications when overall site densities do not exceed the maximum allowed floor area ratio
