Westwood Small Area Study
Henrico County is preparing a small area study for the Westwood area, which is generally located between West Broad Street, Staples Mill Road, and CSX Railway’s Acca Yard. The purpose of this study is to examine potential redevelopment opportunities, and determine any constraints for development within the study area. The Board of Supervisors initiated potential 2026 Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinance amendments at their September 25, 2018 meeting. Department of Planning Staff is now working with the Planning Commission to evaluate those potential amendments. A copy of the draft study can be found by following the link below.
