Planning and Development Review guides building and development in the city of Richmond. The department oversees

In the facilitation of these duties, the department supports a number of boards and commissions.
Major Departmental Initiatives
The City of Richmond reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in response to complaints filed
against the City by mobile home park residents. The agreement addresses
assertions that Richmond unfairly targeted Latino-occupied mobile home
communities for maintenance code enforcement and that the City did not offer
sufficient interpretation or translation services.
