Hull Street Road Revitalization Plan
Overview of planning area
Zoning
As shown on the map below, the predominant zoning classification
throughout the corridor study area is commercial (Chesterfield) or
business (Richmond), which are roughly equivalent to one another in
their standards and applications. Within the Chesterfield County section
of the study area, these commercial uses comprise all but two parcels,
whereas residential uses of varying intensity are interspersed among the
business uses throughout Richmond’s portion.
According to the C-5 (General Business District) zoning in Chesterfield
County’s ordinance, the purpose and intent is: “... to provide areas
primarily for motor vehicle use…that ensure maximum compatibility with,
and minimal impact on, existing and future residential development.”
For example, the C-5 district includes uses such as:
• Special contractor businesses
• Automotive repair services
• Restaurants
• Commercial parking lots and
• Limited light industrial uses
The exceptional parcels in this portion of the corridor are an R-7 parcel –
the Elkhardt Baptist Church – and a C-3 parcel that comprises half of the
Cloverhill Motors vehicle storage lot. There are no explicitly prescribed
design standards for Chesterfield’s C-5 zoning category.
The Richmond portion of the Hull Street Road study area contains 10
distinct zoning categories, with the majority of parcels zoned as either
B-2 (Community Business District), or B-3 (General Business District).
