Service Description: <div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div>The overlay districts represented in this layer include areas established to address corridor-specific development, redevelopment initiatives, transportation and safety considerations, community character, and long-range planning objectives. These overlays are implemented through ordinance amendments to Chapter 24 of the Henrico County Code by the Board of Supervisors and are intended to guide development in a manner consistent with adopted plans and policies.Overlay Districts:Airport Safety Overlay District restricts the height of structures and natural growth in the vicinity of Richmond International Airport and prohibits any use that would interfere with aircraft landing, taking off, or maneuvering with the intention of using the airport.Form-Based Alternative Overlay (The FBA-O) District is intended to provide an alternative set of standards for targeted areas within the County that may be used as an option by a landowner in place of the zoning district standards that apply in the base district, in order to achieve a balance between vehicular and pedestrian-oriented design and facilitate mixed-use, walkable development at higher densities. The FBA-O District standards allow landowners and developers to access otherwise untapped potential on a property by allowing additional forms of development by right in exchange for a better public realm.The FBA-O District is composed of the following FBA-O subdistricts: Best Products Reimagined, Broad &amp; Parham, Brook Road North, Brookfield, Short Pump Town Center, Virginia Center Commons, and Williamsburg Road. Best Products Reimagined Subdistrict supports the redevelopment of the former Best Products office campus into a vibrant mixed-use destination anchored by a regional entertainment venue. The district encourages residential, commercial, hospitality, restaurant, entertainment, office, research, and light industrial uses, along with improved pedestrian and roadway connections.Brook Road North Subdistrict encourages coordinated reinvestment and redevelopment along the commercial corridor by creating walkable mixed-use nodes and improving connections among neighborhoods, businesses, and regional infrastructure. Development near the Fall Line Trail is intended to support residential and trail-oriented uses, public gathering spaces, and alternative transportation options.Glen Allen Overlay Subdistrict encourages development that is appropriate for the district, prevents traffic congestion, avoids distracting visual clutter, and facilitates the creation of a convenient, attractive, and harmonious community. More specifically, it is intended to ensure adequate buffering, screening and landscaping to help reduce the visual impacts of development; ensure well planned development; protect landowners from adverse impacts of adjoining development; and enhance the environment and appearance of the district.Innsbrook Redevelopment Subdistrict provides flexibility for redevelopment projects through development policies adopted with the Innsbrook Area Study contained in the 2026 Land Use Plan while protecting landowners from possible adverse impacts of adjoining development and encouraging development that is consistent in timing and location with available public facilities.Route 5 Corridor Subdistrict ensures new development and significant redevelopment is consistent with the desired character of the district by preserving views from Route 5 of existing mature stands of trees, ensuring that development is located and designed in ways that respect existing topography and the natural features of the land, minimizing the visual impact of new development using existing and supplemental vegetation, maintaining a consistent character along the corridor, and ensuring development is consistent with the built character of development in the corridor.West Broad Street Subdistrict establishes additional requirements for development in the West Broad Street corridor in order to reduce traffic congestion, protect landowners from potential adverse impacts of adjoining development, avoid distracting visual clutter, and enhance the appearance and environment of western Henrico County consistent with the aesthetic values of the district.Westwood Redevelopment Subdistrict provides flexibility for redevelopment projects by providing alternative parking requirements, protecting landowners from adverse impacts of adjoining development, ensuring adequate access for existing and future development, and encouraging the timing and location of development consistent with available public facilities.All edits are made by the Planning Department.
