ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To rezone the property known as 1001 German School Road from the R-3 Single-Family Residential District to the R-43 Multifamily Residential District, upon certain proffered conditions.
REASON: The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to the R-43 Multifamily Residential District, which allows a greater range of housing types and densities than the current R-3 Single Family Residential Districts.
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 5, 2021 meeting.
BACKGROUND: The property consists of approximately 43272.9 SF, or 1 acre, of land. The property is located in the Jahnke Neighborhood at the intersection of German School Road and Glenway Drive.
The City’s Richmond 300 Master Plan designates this property as Neighborhood Mixed-Use. Such areas are described as existing or new highly-walkable urban neighborhoods that are predominantly residential with a small, but critical, percentage of parcels providing retail, office, personal service, and institutional uses. Primary Uses: Single-family houses, accessory dwelling units, duplexes, small multi-family buildings (typically 3-10 units), and open space. Secondary Uses: Large multifamily buildings (10+units), retail/office/personal service, institutional, cultural, and government.
Currently, properties in the vicinity are zoned in the R-3 Single Family Residential, as well as R-53 and R-43 Multifamily Residential Districts, and B-1 Neighborhood Business District.
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.
