The City of Richmond Board of Zoning Appeals, frequently referred to as the BZA, was established pursuant to the
provisions of Article 7, Chapter 22, Title 15.2, of the Code of Virginia. The BZA's powers, duties, and procedures are
set forth in broad terms in the City Charter, and are further detailed in the City of Richmond Zoning Ordinance. The
Board of Zoning Appeals provides a means through which a property owner may seek relief from provisions of the
zoning ordinance. The BZA hears and makes decisions regarding requests for variances and special exceptions, such as
waivers involving setbacks, height, parking, etc. The BZA also makes decisions regarding appeals to any decision
made by the City Zoning Administrator. The BZA is not empowered to change the use of a property.
