AROUND BRAMBLETON

BCA SPOTLIGHT

Brambleton Developer Rezoning Plan - The Brambleton Developer has submitted rezoning proposals for three parcels south of Evergreen Mills Rd that will go before the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors for review and possible approval.

COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Common Area Encroachment - Residents are reminded that per Brambleton’s Declaration, exclusive use of common areas is not permitted. Examples include:

• Changes to common areas without prior written approval from the Association.    
• Storage of personal items or equipment in common areas, including items like woodpiles, play equipment, and sheds.
• Mulching, installing plant material, and cutting naturalized areas.
• Dumping or placing materials such as leaves, grass clippings, or construction materials.

To remedy encroachments on common areas, BCA will take appropriate enforcement action. This may include assessments for the cost of removal or restoration, additional charges, or other sanctions permitted by BCA’s governing documents or law. Please contact the Community Standards department with any questions or to report a concern.

Parking Considerations - BCA regularly receives inquiries about parking in the community. Brambleton’s Board of Directors has established a vehicle policy, and county parking ordinances are enforced by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office. We encourage residents to consider how parking impacts their neighbors, and we offer the following suggestions to be more neighborly:

• Use your garage and driveway as a first option rather than parking on the street or in open visitor spaces.
• Allow some distance when parking near a driveway. Parking too close to or opposite a driveway can make it difficult for residents to navigate around your car.
• While an overflow of guests can lead to parking up and down a street, encourage guests to use the space in front of your house first.
• Understand that you do not own the public parking spot in front of your house and it is first come, first served.

The following should be reported to LCSO for enforcement: 

• Parking across sidewalks or blocking sidewalk ramps  
• Parking close to stop signs, intersections, or fire hydrants
• Expired tags/inspection stickers, illegal parking, and abandoned or suspicious vehicles

The LCSO non-emergency number is 703-777-1021. Please contact the Community Standards department with any questions.
