The side yard (setback) requirement is not met. (7th District)

Summary

The City of Richmond's Board of Zoning Appeals will conduct a public hearing on September 2, 2026, to review an application by Richmond Cash Offer LLC for a building permit. The application seeks approval for a two-story addition to a single-family home located at 3112 P Street, within an R-6 zoning district. The proposed construction does not meet the required three-foot side yard setback, categorizing it as a vertical expansion of a nonconforming structure, which typically faces restrictions. The Zoning Administrator expressed that an administrative variance is unlikely to be granted due to the lack of demonstrated undue hardship and potential detriment to neighboring properties. Residents in the vicinity will be notified and can participate in the hearing either in-person or virtually.
