Form-based code presentation & seminar

The City of Richmond Planning Commission invites interested members of the public to participate in a seminar on Form-Based Code on Wednesday, March 12, 2008 @6PM at City Council Chambers at City Hall. Form-Based Code is a type of zoning that regulates patterns of development by focusing on the relationship of buildings to each other and the street. The seminar will include presentations on the legal and practical aspects of this type of zoning. The presenters include Dan Slone with McGuire Woods LLP and Geoffrey Ferrell with Ferrell Madden Lewis LLC.

The draft Downtown Master Plan recommends the implementation of a Form-Based Code. This seminar offers the community an opportunity to understand its potential applicability in Richmond.

A copy of the draft plan is available for review at the following locations:
