Lavender Hill outdoor event space SUP

Richmond

Description

After 20 months, five continuations, and failed negotiations with Fitzhugh Avenue neighbors, the council denied Lavender Hill's permit for up to 52 outdoor events a year with 120 attendees and amplified music. The owner will have to file a new application.

Impact summary

The City Council denied it on May 11, 2026.

Neighbors keep their 2024 100-foot outdoor-entertainment buffer; the venue cannot host large outdoor amplified events and must reapply.
