Subdivision Exception for 2300 2nd Avenue, per Sec. 25-219 of the Subdivision Ordinance.

This item requests an exception to Section 25-219 of the Subdivision Ordinance, which requires lots in dwelling districts to have an average depth of not less than 100 feet. The property at 3200 2nd Avenue (0.33 acres, 14,700 sq ft) is zoned R-6 Single-Family Attached Residential District. The proposed subdivision includes two single-family detached dwellings, one existing two-family dwelling, and four single-family attached dwellings. Three of the seven proposed lots would not meet the 100-foot average depth requirement. The request is supported by the Richmond 300 Master Plan's designation of Residential land uses and the historic lot pattern in the area. Staff recommends approval of the exception.

This exception allows for a subdivision at 3200 2nd Avenue that deviates from standard lot depth requirements, potentially enabling a development pattern more suited to the urban context and historic character of the neighborhood. The impact on residents is primarily related to the type and configuration of housing being developed.
