Council approves lot split and combination request for Division Apartments LLC
Summary
The council approved a lot split/combination request from Division Apartments LLC to parcel off a portion of property that fronts Howard Street; applicant said the parcel could be sold for residential building.
The Richmond City Council approved a requested lot split and combination from Division Apartments LLC involving two parcels the company owns on Howard Street and Division Street.
City staff said the request traces to a 2021 zoning board of appeals variance that allowed a narrower residential buildable lot than the current 60-foot requirement; the previous owner had not completed the lot-split paperwork. The new owner, Division Apartments LLC, brought the application forward after consulting the city assessor and staff. Patrick Kingston, a partner with Division Apartments LLC, told the council the parcel that extends to Howard Street is not suitable for the company’s own expansion and that the owners plan to parcel it off so it can be sold to a neighbor or another party to build a residence.
Administration recommended approval and the council voted to approve the lot split and combination for the identified parcels. Councilmembers said the additional buildable lot space will help provide more housing opportunities in town. The motion passed by voice vote; no numerical roll-call counts were recorded in the transcript.
