Description
  Abstract: Represents parcel locations with Special Use Permits (SUPs).
  Purpose: Richmond's version of the special use permit process may authorize any use at any location subject to specified conditions. This power is unique to Richmond and should not be confused with the traditional special use permit as used in other jurisdictions. Upon the request of Council, the General Assembly in 1960 revised the Charter to give Council a new broad power to grant "special uses" unlimited by name of use, district classification, or detailed standards. This has been interpreted to mean that Council may permit "any use - anywhere under any conditions", so long as the general welfare, safety, health, congestion in streets and other vague and general applications of the police power are recognized.
  Supplemental Information: Additions to the Special Use Permit feature class are performed when an ordinance is adopted by City Council. Special Use Permit Points are using in a spatial join operation with parcels in order to create a polygon representation, which is published to the GIS "publication" geodatabase and used by the Zoning Parcel Mapper to make it easier for users to perform the idenfity operation.
