ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To authorize the special use of the property known as 1731 Leicester Road for the purpose of a day nursery for up to 4 children, upon certain terms and conditions.
REASON: The applicant has requested a special use permit to legitimize an existing home day care nursery operation currently not permitted within the R-3 zoning 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 14,175 SF, .35 acre parcel of land currently improved with a single-family detached dwelling and located in the Westover Hills neighborhood of the Midlothian planning district.
The City of Richmond’s current Master Plan designates a future land use category for the subject property as Single Family Low Density, (SF-LD). Primary uses for this category include “…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 property is currently zoned R-3 Residential Single Family as is much of the neighboring and nearby community. Single-family land use predominates the area.
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.
