Summary
On March 10, 2026, the City of Richmond introduced Ordinance No. 2026-061, which seeks to authorize the special use of properties at 1300 and 1302 North 34th Street. This legislation permits the construction of two two-family detached dwellings, two single-family attached dwellings, and one single-family detached dwelling with garages for rent, in an area currently zoned as R-5 Single-Family Residential, where such uses are not typically allowed. The ordinance is intended to facilitate diverse housing options and align with the Richmond 300 Master Plan's vision for mixed-use neighborhoods. The City Planning Commission has reviewed the proposal, determining it will not adversely impact community safety, traffic, or local services.
