Property & Development

8 permits applied0 in zoning & land use1 new businesses & uses10 code cases18 failed inspections

Zoning & Land Use (0)

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

No zoning or land-use activity this period.

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.

DateCaseSignalUse
Sep 24, 2026ApprovedCZC-191546-2026Use clearedHatch Kitchen Member2601 2 Maury St Richmond VA 23224

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.
