Judge Issues October 25 Written Decision to End Arlington's Missing Middle (EHO) Program, Clarifies Previous Ruling to Allow 45 Issued Permits to Proceed with Caveats, County Says it Will Appeal

On September 27, 2024 retired Fairfax Judge David Schell ruled that Arlington had violated both process and substance requirements when changing zoning (in March 2023) to allow up to 6-unit dwellings in areas that previously only allowed single family construction.  NO NEW EHO permits may be issued unless the County wins on appeal.  Read more here about the Sept 27 ruling

Read more here about the County's request for a stay of execution, and here for excerpts from the Judge's 22 page decision.​
