Step 3: Preparation of Land Use and Environmental Applications

Special permits within the Special South Richmond Development District (SSRDD) are discretionary approvals that can modify zoning controls within the Special District, such as use, bulk, and parking. Special Permits are reviewed by the City Planning Commission pursuant to the Zoning Resolution and are subject to the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure.

The BluePRint Team will soon be at work on application standards and samples for SSRDD certifications. Check back here for more information.
