Modify zoning rules for where schools can be built and add design standards
In Plain English
Current city zoning laws limit where schools can be built in Richmond. The proposed changes would allow schools in more areas and create new design requirements for school buildings. If approved, developers would have more flexibility in school locations but must meet specific architectural standards.
