RE: To authorize the special use of the property known as 1209 Hull Street, for the purpose of authorizing a brewery, upon certain terms and conditions.
ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To authorize the special use of the property known as 1209 Hull Street, for the purpose of authorizing a brewery, upon certain terms and conditions.
REASON: The applicant has proposed a brewery accessory to a restaurant. Breweries are not permitted in the B-5 Central Business District. A Special Use Permit is therefore required.
RECOMMENDATION: In accordance with the requirements of the City Charter and the Zoning Ordinance, the City Planning Commission will review this request and make a recommendation to City Council. This item will be scheduled for consideration by the Commission at its October 1, 2018, meeting. A letter outlining the Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council following that meeting.
BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of a 12,998 SF or .3 acre parcel of land improved with at three-story, 19,644 SF mixed-use building constructed, per tax assessment records, in 1920. The property is located in the Manchester neighborhood within the City’s Old South Planning District on Hull Street at West 12th Street. The mixed-use building is intended for a restaurant/brewpub and residential dwelling units. The proposed brewery use would be authorized by the special use permit in order to allow additional production of beer on site that would be warehoused and distributed from the site.
The City of Richmond’s Downtown Master Plan designates the subject property as Downtown Urban Center Area which is “…characterized by higher density, mixed-use development, typically arranged on a fine-grained street network, with wide sidewalks, regular tree planting, and minimal setbacks. Uses are less restricted, and commercial uses are often located on the ground floor with large windows and doors fronting the sidewalk. The upper stories of buildings are typically a mix of office and residential uses.”(City of Richmond Downtown Master Plan, pp. 3.25(6).)
This property is within the B-5 District recently established for this portion of Hull Street with the intention of encouraging more mixed-use, pedestrian oriented development along the corridor while reducing the parking requirements under the previous UB2-PE1 zoning designation. Properties to the north and west of the subject property are zoned R-63 Multi-Family Urban Residential.
A mix of commercial, mixed-use, vacant, single-, two-, and multi-family residential land uses are present in the vicinity of the subject property.
FISCAL IMPACT / COST: The Department of Planning and Development Review does not anticipate any impact to the City’s budget for this or future fiscal years.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Staff time for processing the request; preparation of draft ordinance; and publishing, mailing and posting of public notices.
BUDGET AMENDMENT NECESSARY: No.
