Richmond Planning Commission 7/2/2026

The Richmond Planning Commission held a meeting on July 2, 2026, which included a presentation from the Human Resources Director on mandatory and recommended training requirements for commissioners, including anti-harassment, fiscal, and workplace violence prevention trainings. The commission also conducted a public hearing on proposed amendments to the city's Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance to align with recent state law changes. The amendments clarified definitions, updated height and parking requirements, and introduced pre-approved ADU plans to streamline the permitting process. The commission voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 26-15 recommending City Council approval of the zoning text amendments. No contract awards or procurement decisions were discussed, but the meeting addressed regulatory compliance related to housing development and training policies for city officials.
