The Richmond City Council approved a Special Use Permit for 3310 Q Street to allow the construction of two two-family detached dwellings with two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in the rear. The project involves dividing the property into two lots, each featuring a two-family detached dwelling and an ADU, totaling six housing units. The site is within an R-6 Single-Family Attached Residential District, which does not permit multiple principal dwellings and accessory dwelling units without a special permit. The project aligns with the Richmond 300 Master Plan’s Neighborhood Mixed-Use designation, supporting urban density and walkable residential development.
This project introduces modern infill housing while increasing residential density in a historically significant neighborhood. The approval promotes housing variety and affordability while maintaining compatibility with the surrounding urban fabric.
