Land use · Richmond, Virginia

group homes

Named in 1 of this ordinance’s zoning districts.

How this ordinance defines it

The operative definition is the local one. Codes routinely subdivide a category into tiers — “day care 2, family”, “group home 2” — and attach different permissions to each, so only Richmond’s own text settles what this covers.

the lot shall be provided for multifamily dwellings, nursing homes, adult care residences, group homes and lodginghouses (see definitions of terms in Section 30-1220). (Code 1993, § 32-426.6; Code 2004, § 114-426.6; Code 2015, § 30-426.6)
