Changes to Residential-Commercial
(R-C) Zoning District

Since late 2018, the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors have been considering changes to the Residential-Commercial (R-C) zoning district, which permits commercial (and limited residential) development and is located primarily along the U.S. Route 60 corridor between U.S. Route 522 and the Chesterfield County line. 

To allow additional stakeholder input regarding the proposed changes, the Board of Supervisors created the R-C Zoning Workgroup, which met in January and February 2019.

The ordinance to eliminate the R-C zoning district was approved on April 24, 2019.
