Richmond Livable Corridors Form Based Code
Project Description
Prior to the Zoning Update process getting started, the City, through a Prop 84 Planning Grant, developed a draft Form-Based Code (FBC) for several of its commercial corridors and surrounding areas to implement the mixed-use vision established in the General Plan. Since these two regulatory documents are converging, staff is seeking Council approval to integrate the FBC into the Zoning Update to create a consolidated series of land use regulations.

City Council - September 20, 2016, 6:30 PM, 440 Civic Center Plaza, Council Chambers
Adopt Resolution directing staff to integrate portions of the draft Form-Based Code into the Zoning and Subdivisions Regulations Update.
A. Draft FBC
The intent of the FBC is to foster a high-quality built environment. The FBC focuses on the creation, revitalization, and preservation of vibrant, walkable urban places by utilizing physical form, rather than land use, as the primary organizing principle. It also promotes standards for both private and public spaces. The FBC addresses physical characteristics and standards governing private realm components along the corridors, including building placement, form, height, frontage, and land use, ensuring that new development contributes to walkable urbanism. The FBC also addresses roadways, streets, sidewalks, and civic spaces. Special emphasis is given to sustainability and public health indicators, ensuring that regulations promote environmentally responsible places that maximize public health benefits. This community planning effort is funded in part
