Planning Commission approves minutes and adopts consent agenda including six land-use items
Summary
The Richmond City Planning Commission approved minutes from Dec. 2, 2025 and June 2, 2026, and adopted a seven-item consent agenda that included three special-use ordinances, a VDOT funding amendment (~$295,267) for street projects, and two planning resolutions updating Richmond 300.
The Richmond City Planning Commission met June 2 and unanimously approved minutes from Dec. 2, 2025 and June 2, 2026 before adopting a consent agenda that included multiple zoning and planning items.
The consent agenda, presented by the clerk, included Ordinance 2026-127 authorizing special use for 902 North 28th Street to allow up to one detached and one attached single-family dwelling; Ordinance 2026-128 for 3012 Grayland Avenue to allow up to two single-family detached dwellings; and Ordinance 2026-129 to authorize a special use at 2518 Grove Avenue for a multifamily dwelling. The agenda also included Ordinance 2026-147 authorizing the chief administrative officer to accept approximately $295,267 from the Virginia Department of Transportation and to amend the capital budget to fund Chamberlain Avenue repurposing and a Bolton-to-Hammond Avenue segment.
The consent packet also contained Planning Commission Resolution 2026-003 to adopt 'Richmond SPIRE' as an amendment to Richmond 300 (the city's guide for growth) and Resolution 2026-004 to adopt the 'Richmond Connects' strategic plan as a transportation-equity amendment to Richmond 300.
Chair called the public hearing on the consent items, found no speakers online or in person, and the Commission moved, seconded and adopted the consent agenda by roll call, with members recorded as voting aye. The clerk had earlier read that written public comments submitted by 12 p.m. had been provided to commissioners.
The Commission also handled procedural business: a motion (mover/second not specified in the record) to permit Commissioner Knight to participate remotely from Washington, D.C. carried by voice vote; and motions to approve the Dec. 2, 2025 and June 2, 2026 minutes were adopted by roll call.
What happens next: items adopted via the consent agenda will be processed according to standard City procedures; the ordinance that accepts VDOT funds will be used to amend the FY2025-26 capital budget for the specified transportation projects.
