Richmond, Va., City Code § 30-1045.1
in effectSec. 30-1045.1. - Intent.
Pursuant to Code of Virginia, §§ 15.2-2286, 15.2-2303, conditional use provisions are intended as a means for the City Council, after review and recommendation by the Planning Commission, to authorize certain uses which, although generally appropriate in the district in which they are permitted, have potentially greater impacts on neighboring properties than uses which are permitted by right. Such uses may or may not be appropriate at a particular location in the district depending on surrounding land uses, other site-specific factors, and determination in each case of potential local impacts from the use and the measures proposed by the applicant to mitigate any adverse impacts. The conditional use permit procedure provides the opportunity for the City Council to review each proposed conditional use and to approve or disapprove the use or impose such conditions as reasonably necessary to ensure the use will be compatible with the surrounding area and consistent with the purposes of this chapter.
