Title: 2219 M Street - Partial demolition and new addition to the side of an existing single-family building
Summary
The City of Richmond's Commission of Architectural Review (CAR) is reviewing a proposal for alterations to the property at 2219 M Street, located within the Union Hill Historic District. The property currently houses a single-family dwelling built in 1910. The owner has submitted two options for additions: a single-story addition of 342 square feet and a two-story addition of 270 square feet. Both proposals aim to enhance living space while respecting the historical integrity of the existing structure. The single-story option emphasizes compatibility with the original dwelling and meets local zoning requirements, while the two-story option expands the existing addition, aligning with the neighborhood's architectural character. This review process is crucial for maintaining the historical fabric of Richmond's neighborhoods.
