The Richmond Historic Preservation Commission was appointed in 2000 by City Council. It is the intent of the ordinance “to provide a means to promote the cultural, economic and general welfare of the public through the preservation and protection of structures and areas of historic and cultural interest with the City of Richmond.” The Commission has created three Conservation Districts by the request of property owners (see Link to Conservation District Maps). They have also sponsored a survey of historic sites and structures in Richmond. Commission meetings are the second Monday of each month at 5 p.m. in the Community room unless the media is notified.

Neighborhood Preservation Plan

The Richmond Neighborhood Preservation Plan is a document that delineates responsibilities and preservation goals and objectives to help navigate Richmond’s neighborhoods through their preservation efforts. The plan includes information on the history and development of Richmond’s neighborhoods and a preservation context statement that explains the importance of preservation planning. A series of goals, objectives, and actions compliments a significant portion of the study. The plan also describes the varying roles that both organizations should play within Richmond’s neighborhood preservation planning. Finally, the appendix includes valuable resource material and proper contact information to aid in the search for preservation related recommendations and communications.
