Background Statement:
The applicant is seeking to rezone +/- .2454 acres at N Armistead Avenue, with proffered conditions and to rezone +/- .2510 acres at 916 N Armistead Avenue, without proffered conditions from Heavy Manufacturing (M-3) District to One Family (R-9) District. The purpose of the application is to subdivide the vacant parcel at 914 N Armistead Avenue into three (3) building lots to construct one family detached dwellings. Additionally, the application seeks to rezone 916 N Armistead Avenue to allow the existing one family residence to be in compliance with zoning regulations.
The Hampton Community Plan, 2006 as amended, provides goals, objectives, and policies for the future of Hampton , which includes recommendations for appropriate land uses. The future land use map indicates mixed-use land use for these properties. The are no additional policies from the plan that support this application.
The parcels are located in the Downtown Master Plan area. The Armistead Avenue Corridor is the northern gateway to the Downtown district. A review and update to the Downtown Master Plan are underway. This corridor and area will be assessed during the update and planning recommendations will be available when complete.
There are nine (9) proffered conditions that would apply only to 914 N Armistead Avenue. These include providing three (3) off street parking spaces per dwelling, providing architectural styles similar to recently constructed homes in the area and providing appropriate landscaping for residential site. There are no proffers offered for 916 N Armistead Avenue as the property already has an existing single family residence.
The application does not align withte current adopted policies of the Hampton Community Plan. These properties are located in an established manufacturing zoning district in close proximity to existing M-3 businesses. Additionally, the parcel at 914 N Armistead Avenue is ineligible to be subdivided into three (3) lots due to required frontage and area standards.
This general area may be considered for a future comprehensive zoning change upon conclusion of updates to the Downtown Mast Plan and Comprehensive Plan.
