C.A.R. Additional Requirement
-
For a
Certificate of Appropriateness,
the
Commission of Architectural Review
requires
12 hard copies (paper)
of each of both the
application
and
plans
to be
submitted to Room 510 of City Hall.
The Richmond Commission of Architectural Review (CAR) was established by City Council in 1957. The CAR is the
city's official historic preservation body and is charged with reviewing all exterior changes to structures within the
city's Old and Historic Districts and issuing Certificates of Appropriateness for those projects that it deems to be
appropriate.
When a neighborhood organization or other applicable entity submits a nomination request, the CAR oversees the
process for designation of Old and Historic Districts and makes a final recommendation for designation to City Council.
The CAR also assists and advises City Council, all city boards and departments,
and property owners in matters involving historic resources relating to appropriate
land use, zoning, and other issues.
The current members are as follows.
