Planning Commission
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our fellow Commissioner, Dr. John W. Lyver, IV., of the Gainesville District. Commissioner Lyver was appointed to the Prince William County Planning Commission on January 9, 2024, by Prince William County Board Supervisor, Bob Weir and participated in his first Planning Commission meeting on February 7, 2024. Commissioner Lyver served our Planning Commission with dedication and made a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. Commissioner Lyver brought his energetic and larger-than-life personality to the dais at each hearing. He was fiercely dedicated to his Planning Commissioner duties, often spending numerous hours reviewing and commenting on land-use development applications. His studious habits were characteristic of his devotion to the residents of the Gainesville District, the Planning Commission, and other organizations in which he served. His quick wit and infectious laugh will surely be missed by all. We send our sincerest condolences to his wife, Sally Lyver, his family and friends, and to all those who knew Commissioner Lyver.
The Prince William County Planning Commission is a panel of eight citizens appointed by the Board of County Supervisors to advise the Board on land use and development issues in the County. Unless specified otherwise, all meetings take place on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of every month at the Prince William County James J. McCoart Administration Building. Generally, Planning Commission work sessions commence at 6:00 p.m. in the Board Chambers, agenda review commences at 6:45 p.m. in the Potomac Conference Room, and public hearings commence at 7:00 p.m. in the Board Chambers. The meetings are open to the public. Dates or locations may be subject to change or cancellation based on need and/or changing circumstances.
