Code Refresh

The City of Richmond is currently rewriting its zoning rules for the first time since the 1970s. This project, called the Code Refresh, will change the “rules” for what can be built on different pieces of land. The goal is to make our neighborhoods more walkable and to allow for a wider variety of housing types (like duplexes or small apartments) to make Richmond more affordable and equitable.

Because this will affect property rules across the city, we encourage all neighbors to see how the new maps might impact our blocks.
