Dear Oregon Hill friends,
On Monday, Aug. 15th, the Richmond City Planning Commission will vote on a wonderful amendment to the master plan that will simply acknowledge what we all know: that Oregon Hill is a Residential neighborhood, Please send a short note in support of this master plan amendment, which has already been unanimously approved by City Council.

Below is a draft letter for your consideration, and please feel free to elaborate on your love of Oregon Hill, which has been a Residential neighborhood for over 150 years. Send your comment to: PDRLandUseAdmin@richmondgov.com

Dear Members of the Richmond Planning Commission,
I urge you to support the common-sense amendment to the master plan (agenda item CPCR.2022.094) that would designate the future land use of the Residential R-7 zoned area of Oregon Hill as Residential. Oregon Hill’s master plan amendment (2022-R033) has already been approved by the unanimous vote of the Richmond City Council.
Within Oregon Hill’s R-7 zoning, 99% of the buildings are two-story Residences. The two- story Residential future land use designation is appropriate for Oregon Hill and will allow the Oregon Hill neighborhood to continue to thrive.

Sincerely,
YOUR NAME and ADDRESS
