Changing zoning or special permit in Henrico County near Richmond

[Eddie Gonnella]

Hey all, I'm looking at a property in Dumbarton, right near Lakeside (two neighborhoods in Henrico County, VA), just outside of Richmond City. It is zoned as a single dwelling only, but it could be a great 3 unit. I've looked at the zoning maps for Henrico already and it is R-2. Anyone familiar with getting zones changed, whether this is really a problem at all, or familiar with Henrico County in particular?

Thanks for the help!
