$3.7M donation for new police equestrian center on City Council agenda
The Richmond City Council meets Monday. Agendas available here.
Business on the 6 p.m. regular meeting agenda includes authorization to accept a future donation from the Friends of the Richmond Mounted Squad for construction of a new home for the Richmond Police Mounted Unit on 3.5 acres of city-owned property at Crestview Road and North 39th Street, between Chimborazo and Gillies Creek. The donation of materials and labor is valued at $3.72 million.
The new facility would replace the unit’s stables at 801 Brook Road, below the Chamberlayne Avenue overpass near the Interstate 64/95 interchange. The Friends group has lobbied for the project for several years, but funding challenges and other facility priorities have delayed it. The proposed facility would include 12 stalls, training pens and paddocks, offices and parking.
Enterprise Community Development is seeking a special-use permit to allow a four-story building with 43 apartments and ground-floor commercial space at 1203 E. Brookland Park Blvd. It’s also requesting to reduce the age requirement for its Highland Park Senior Apartments so that 80 percent of the units can be rented to persons 55 and up. The units are currently restricted to tenants 60 years of age or older.
Other business includes approval of the FY22-FY26 Economic Development Strategic Plan, which is proposed to establish a strategic framework for equitable economic development in the city and increase opportunities for job creation, capital investment and general fund revenue generation.

Lilly Pad permit, Broad Street apartment project approved in Henrico
At their June 14 meeting, Henrico supervisors approved a provisional-use permit for The Lilly Pad restaurant and Kingsland Marina that limits live music to certain hours and decibel levels, among other conditions. County staff recommended the changes after determining that the expanded restaurant had outgrown the parameters of a previous permit.
The board approved Arizona-based Alliance Residential Co.’s plan to build 340 apartments at the former Motleys Asset Disposition site at 4400 W. Broad St., and a rezoning request from RDK Land Holdings LLC for a 160-unit townhome development on 16 acres southeast of Chamberlayne Road and Wilmer Avenue.
