BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of a 311,454 SF or 7.15 acre parcel of land improved with a three story, 97,812 SF building constructed, per tax assessment records, in 1987. The building currently contains 23 two (2) bedroom apartments pursuant to the 2011 special use permit. The new Special Use Permit would allow for 12 of the apartments to be divided into 1 bedroom/ studio apartments for a total of 24 (twenty-four) 1-bedroom apartments and 11 (eleven) 2-bedroom apartments. The property is located in the Jahnke neighborhood within the City’s Midlothian Planning District.
The City of Richmond’s current Master Plan designates a future use for the subject property as Single family Low Density (SF-LD). This designation allows “…dwellings at densities up to seven units per acre. Includes residential support uses such as schools, places of worship, neighborhood parks and recreation facilities, and limited public and semi-public uses. Typical zoning classifications that may accommodate this land use category: R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5.” (City of Richmond, Master Plan, p. 133) The current zoning for this property is R-3, Residential (Single Family) as are much of the adjacent properties.
The current zoning designation for this property is R-3, Single Family Residential District. Adjacent and nearby properties are located within the same R-3 District.
The applicant has request an amendment to the existing special use permit ordinance in order to increase the total number of units within the existing building.
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.
