LEESBURG, Va., Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Loudoun County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) has another bite at the apple this Thursday to act on a controversial zoning application from Newport Academy/Institute, a national chain of mental and behavioral treatment facilities. Primarily owned by Canadian private equity group, ONEX, the company was not permitted to operate from three adjacent McLean homes in 2019 and has now purchased three adjacent Loudoun residences.

Key Points: 
  • The BZA hearing this Thursday, January 26, at 6pm in the Government Center at 1 Harrison Street, is the second public hearing.
  • After 4 hours of testimony in April, the evening ended with a ruling that neighbors lacked standing and that their appeal should not have been allowed.
  • Like the Fairfax attempt, the three Loudoun homes share a common pipestem driveway, fencing, and function as a unified property.
