Title
Use Permit Application No. 24-0529 by Magruder Holdings, LLC to Permit Retail Sales, General on a Portion of 3200 Neil Armstrong Parkway [LRSN: 6000997]
Purpose
Background Statement:
Use Permit Application No. 24-0529 is a request to permit retail sales, general on a proposed subdivided parcel, Site B, located at 3200 Neil Armstrong Parkway. The property is currently zoned General Commercial (C-3) District, with conditions and proposed to be rezoned to Langley Business Park (LBP) District, with conditions. More specifically, the proposal includes the demolition of the existing structure to be replaced with a new three-story, multi-use building on proposed Site B, located in the western portion of the parcel near the intersection of Neil Armstrong Parkway and Floyd Thompson Drive. The majority of this building will feature a climate-controlled storage facility with over 500 units; however, the front portion of the first floor of the building is proposed to feature 3,000 square feet for future retail use, and 5,700 square feet for coworking space
The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends the future land use for this property as commercial. The Plan also encourages development that could attract more small businesses and workers to the park, building and site design that enhances the community, the efficient use of land and high-quality site planning, and the ability of older commercial and industrial areas to support new and expanded business activity. The contemporary architectural design and uniqueness of the proposed buildings could help reposition the aging business park. The proposed development meets the purpose and intent of the Langley Business Park (LBP) District and achieves the objectives of providing a site that supports the economic growth and diversification of Hampton’s tax base, and creating a high-quality and innovative development capable of attracting and sustaining a diverse mix of businesses.
This application is in conjunction with Rezoning Application No. 24-0526 and Use Permit Application Nos., 24-0527 and 24-0528, which would permit a storage facility 2 on Site B and retail sales, general on Site A, respectively, within the Langley Business Park (LBP) District with an approved use permit for each.
