Code Refresh Draft Three is Here!

For every Richmonder who attended a community meeting, spoke with our planning staff, commented online, left a post-in note, or suggested a change: THANK YOU! This project is only possible because of your efforts and care for our city. 

 

  Updating our outdated zoning code lets us build...

More homes for more people, expanding housing choice and opportunity for Richmonders of all races and incomes.  

Complete neighborhoods and a diverse economy, connecting people to the places they live, learn, work, shop, and play more easily.  

Beautiful communities, preserving the authenticity and distinct neighborhood character that make Richmond special.  

A sustainable city, protecting Richmond parks, trees and green spaces; encouraging eco-friendly development; and building the energy grid of the future.
