ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To authorize the special use of the property known as 2600 Idlewood Avenue and 309 South Robinson Street for the purpose of a social service delivery use and accessory parking, upon certain terms and conditions.
REASON: The applicant is requesting a special use permit to authorize a social service delivery use within a building accessory to a church and accessory parking within the church’s parking area. The R-63 Multi-Family Urban Residential District does not permit social service delivery use. 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 September 4, meeting. A letter outlining the Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council following that meeting.
BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of a 15,772 SF or .4 acre parcel of land improved with two 2 story buildings as well as a church which, together, total 11,150 square feet. The building directly associated to this application is 4,250 square feet and was constructed, per tax assessment records, in 1928 and is located in the Near West Planning District. The property is located within the Fan neighborhood.
The City of Richmond’s current Near West Planning District Land Use Plan designates a future land use category for the subject property as SF-MD (Single Family - Medium Density) “Primary uses are single-family and two-family dwellings, both detached and attached, at densities of 8 to 20 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-5A, R-6 and R-7.” (Richmond Master Plan, Chapter 10, Land Use, p. 133)
Nearby properties are a combination of the R-63, R-7 Single- & Two-Family Urban Residential and B-6 Mixed-Use Business Districts. A mix of residential, commercial, and industrial land uses are present in the vicinity.
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.
