Land Use Committee forwards floodplain ordinance and VDOT grant request; strikes photo-speed resolution
Summary
The Richmond City Land Use Committee voted to forward an updated floodplain ordinance and a $10 million VDOT revenue-sharing application to full council with recommendations to approve; it also forwarded two street-designation ordinances and voted to strike a resolution urging study/deployment of photo speed monitoring devices.
The Richmond City Land Use Committee on an uncontested vote recommended that City Council approve an updated floodplain ordinance aligned with the latest FEMA flood insurance study, and also recommended approval of the city’s VDOT revenue-sharing application totaling $10 million for fiscal years 2027–28.
The committee advanced three ordinances to council: Ordinance 2025-104 (floodplain ordinance), Ordinance 2025-105 (designating the 300 block of N. 32nd Street in honor of Reverend Dr. Edward Daniel McCreary Jr.) and Ordinance 2025-106 (designating the 2100 block of Edwards Avenue in honor of Harold Thomas). The committee also approved forwarding Resolution 2025-R18, the city’s application supporting $10 million in VDOT revenue-sharing funds. By separate vote the committee struck Resolution 2024-R041, which had expressed support for study and installation of photo-speed monitoring devices.
