Description
Title: To authorize the special use of the property known as 4508 West Broad Street for the purpose of automobile sales and service, excluding engine replacement, transmission replacement, and collision repairs, upon certain terms and conditions. (1st District)
Summary
On July 27, 2026, the City of Richmond introduced Ordinance No. 2026-179, which seeks to grant a special use permit for the property located at 4508 West Broad Street. This permit allows the establishment of automobile sales and service, excluding certain repairs. The property owner aims to transform the existing commercial truck center into a Lincoln showroom, enhancing the aesthetic of the area and attracting more customers. The proposal aligns with the Richmond 300 Master Plan, although it slightly deviates from the designated future land use. The ordinance includes specific terms to ensure community welfare, such as restrictions on vehicle storage and building materials. A public hearing is scheduled for September 14, 2026, to gather community input on the proposal
