City of Richmond Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting of Wednesday, June 10, 2026

The City of Richmond Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on June 10, 2026, to consider several variance petitions related to residential property use and development standards. Key procurement-related discussions involved petitions from Crawford's Home Improvement seeking variances to convert a duplex into a three-unit apartment building, including approval of an efficiency apartment and a reduction in minimum dwelling unit size. Despite staff recommendations to deny based on zoning ordinance nonconformities, the board unanimously approved the variances, citing practical use and neighborhood compatibility. Another petition from Jeremy and Nellie Miles requested a variance to place a storage shed on a vacant lot without a primary structure; after discussion and a written commitment to exclude a concrete slab foundation, the board approved the variance. No contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, but these zoning decisions could impact future property development and related procurement activities in the city.
