New businesses & changes of use (2)
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.
| Date | Case | Signal | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 13, 2026Approved | CZC-194466-2026 | Use cleared | Office building - Suite 1001520 W Main St Richmond VA 23220 |

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.
