Zoning & Land Use (2)

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

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.

DateCaseSignalUse

Aug 7, 2026ApprovedCZC-162981-2025Use cleared[Nonconforming use] Painting company admin office; three offices, one conference room and bathroom3536 Grove Ave Richmond VA 23221

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.
