From press release:

For Immediate Release:

Monday, June 4, 2018

On Wednesday, June 6, 2018 in Richmond City Hall at 1PM, the Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association (OHNA) and other aggrieved parties will have an appeal of a recent ruling by the Richmond Zoning Administrator heard before the Richmond Board of Zoning Appeals. We believe the Zoning Administrator erred on a ruling concerning the status of “Transitional Sites” and other issues relevant to application of the appropriate zoning parameters of a development within the Oregon Hill Historic District (as recognized on the National Register of Historic Places). We also believe this incorrect ruling, if it stands, bodes profound adverse consequences and loss of protections for other neighborhoods in our City.

We thank the Fan District Association, the Carver Area Civic Improvement League, the Forest Hill Neighborhood Association, the Church Hill Association, the Union Hill Civic Association, the Sherwood Park Civic Association and the Uptown Association for their support. Their letters of solidarity are attached. We stand together united with the conviction that we will accept nothing less than FAIR and LAWFUL rulings by the Department of Planning and Development Review according to the precise wording of the written statutes.

We look forward to making our case before the Board of Zoning Appeals.

C. Todd Woodson, President
Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association, Inc.
