The Richmond City Council approved a special use permit for 6241 Forest Hill Avenue to allow two single-family detached dwellings on a single lot. The additional dwelling, located above a garage, exceeds accessory dwelling unit size requirements and requires a special use permit. The project aligns with the Richmond 300 Master Plan, which designates the area as residential with a focus on maintaining neighborhood character. Key conditions include material specifications and screening for mechanical equipment.
This decision supports increased housing options while preserving the character of residential neighborhoods.
