Both a Southside senior housing project and a Carver bar received special-use permit approval Monday evening.

Last night Richmond City Council greenlit SUPs for senior apartments at 1801 Richmond Highway and Space Mountain Hi-Fi, an audio-focused bar planned for 312 Goshen St. 

The planned 96-unit Richmond Highway development from local firm The Real McCoy Companies would rise on a vacant 0.8-acre lot south of the Model Tobacco Lofts. The development, described in planning documents as “amenity rich,” would be limited to those age 55 and older.

The owners of Cobra Cabana are planning to convert the red-doored building into a listening bar.

Space Mountain Hi-Fi’s SUP approval clears the way for Herbie Abernethy and Josh Novicki to open the 1,000-square-foot bar in a two-story building the duo owns behind their other bar, Cobra Cabana. They also own nearby pizza joint Hot For Pizza. 

Both special-use permits were on Council’s consent agenda and were approved unanimously.

Council also looked set to vote on a 260-unit low-income housing development from Tennessee-based developer Elmington at 2201 McDonough St., but that ordinance was continued to Council’s Sept. 23 meeting.

It’s embarrassing how many things require SUPs in the city, and how long they take to put in. I hope the new zoning code fixes this.
