Title
Rezoning Application No. 25-0101 by OBT Virginia Investors LLC to Rezone +/- 0.96 Acres at 1263 W Queen Street [LRSN: 2000422] from One Family Residential (R-11) and Light Manufacturing (M-2) Districts to One Family Residential (R-11) District with Conditions to Allow One-Family Dwellings on Three (3) Proposed Individual Lots
Purpose
Background Statement:
Rezoning Application No. 25-0101 is a request by OBT Virginia Investors, LLC to rezone 1263 W Queen Street [LRSN: 2000422], totaling +/- 0.96 acres, from One-Family Residential (R-11) and Light Manufacturing (M-2) District to One-Family Residential (R-11) District with conditions. The rezoning would allow for the parcel to be subdivided into three (3) separate parcels which would further allow for the development of 1-family detached dwellings. Additional details of the proposed development can be found in the application and staff report.
The future land use recommended by Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) is low density residential. Additional policies applicable to this land use application include, but are not limited to, encouraging and maintaining a diverse mix of housing types and values; promoting high quality design and site planning that is compatible with surrounding development; and encouraging high quality new developments that are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods.
The proposed rezoning aligns with the Community Plan’s goal of promoting residential development within existing neighborhoods. The shift from Light Manufacturing (M-2) to One-Family Residential (R-11) further supports the long-term vision of maintaining compatible residential uses in areas adjacent to established neighborhoods and would eliminate incompatible land uses permitted within the M-2 District. With the proposed proffered conditions in place, staff has determined the proposed rezoning and subsequent development of 1-family detached dwellings would be consistent in character and quality with the existing adjacent homes within the Hampshire Glen neighborhood.
