PURPOSE: To rezone the properties known as 400, 401, and 418 Maury Street from the M-2 Heavy Industrial District, and the B-7 Mixed-Use Business District, to the TOD-1 Transit Oriented Nodal District.
REASON: The applicant has requested to rezone the aforementioned properties for future infill development that follows the TOD-1 Transit Oriented Nodal District zoning requirements.
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 April 20, 2020 meeting. A letter outlining the Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council following that meeting.
BACKGROUND: The subject property consists of a three unimproved parcels together totaling 174,724 SF, or approximately 4 acres, and are a part of the Old Town Manchester neighborhood in the City’s Old South Planning District.
The City of Richmond’s current Master Plan designates the two smaller parcels in the southern portion of subject properties for Industrial uses (IND). The plan calls for Primary uses include a wide variety of manufacturing, processing, research and development, warehousing, distribution, office, warehouse and service uses. Office, retail and other uses that complement industrial areas are often secondary support uses. The mix of industrial uses and character of such areas may vary depending on the location and available highway access. Typical zoning classifications that may accommodate this land use category: OS, M-1, and M-2.
The larger parcel towards the north is within the Master Plan’s Downtown Urban Center Area designation 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.
The properties are currently zoned M-2 Heavy Industrial and B-7 Mixed-Use Business as are surrounding parcels. A mix of commercial, residential, and industrial land uses are present in the area. The property is flanked by Interstate 95 access to the east and the rapidly developing Manchester neighborhood to the west.
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.
