Sec. 30-440. - Intent of district. Pursuant to the general purposes of this chapter, the intent of the B-4 Central Business District is to define the urban center of the City of Richmond by promoting dense, transit-oriented development with greater building height than elsewhere in the region. The district regulations are intended to promote redevelopment, placemaking, and development of surface parking lots to create high-quality urban spaces. Such regulations are also intended to improve streetscape character and enhance public safety by encouraging an active pedestrian environment consistent with the mixed-use character of the district and by providing uniform setbacks, first floor commercial uses, and windows in building facades along street frontages. (Code 2015, § 30-440; Code 2020, § 30-440; Ord. No. 2019-170, § 2, 7-22-2019)
