1 permits applied1 in zoning & land use1 new businesses & uses0 code cases1 failed inspections

Zoning & Land Use (1)

New filings, Planning Commission recommendations, adopted SUPs, BZA decisions, and capital project events.

DateCaseTypeDetail
Sep 14, 2026AdoptedSUP-174660-2025Special Use PermitOrd. 2026-179

New businesses & changes of use (1)

When a business opens, a tenant or owner changes, or a use is cleared by zoning, the city issues a Certificate of Zoning Compliance (use cleared) or a Certificate of Occupancy (now open / changed hands). New-construction occupancy is shown under Building Permits, not here.

Use details are shown for non-residential properties only. Richmond also issues home-based-business zoning approvals at residential addresses; those records are public on the city portal, but we deliberately don't highlight the use here, because it ties a home address to an individual's livelihood.
