ORD. OR RES. No.
PURPOSE: To rezone the property known as 4501 East Main Street from the RF-2 Riverfront District to the TOD-1 Transit Oriented Nodal District.
REASON: The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to the TOD-1 District, which requires, among other requirements, less off-street parking and greater lot coverage than the current RF-2 District.
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 November 1, 2021 meeting.
BACKGROUND: The property consists of approximately 80,817 SF, or 1.86 acres, of land. The property is located in the Shockoe Bottom Neighborhood between East Main Street and the CSX Railroad Right of Way to the East.
The City’s Richmond 300 Master Plan designates these parcels as Corridor Mixed Use. Such areas are “found along major commercial corridors and envisioned to provide for medium- to medium high-density pedestrian- and transit-oriented development.”
Primary Uses: Retail/office/personal service, multi-family residential, cultural, and open space.
Secondary Uses: Single-family houses, institutional, and government. (p. 60)
Currently, most nearby properties are zoned M 2 Heavy Industrial. The adjacent property to the North is currently zoned TOD-1.
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.
