Purpose
Background Statement:
Rezoning application no. 24-0430 is a request by Armia Real Estate LLC to rezone the parcel located at 1721 N King Street from Multiple Residential (R-M) District and Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) District to Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) District with conditions. The applicant proposes to add an additional use to the existing structure located at 1721 N King Street. The existing facility is currently split-zoned Multiple Residential (R-M) District and Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) District, with the entire facility located within the R-M District. In order to permit a number of commercial uses, such as a Day Care 1, Commercial, the property is required to be rezoned to a zoning district that permits the desired use.
The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) designates the subject site as Commercial land use. More specifically, the Community Plan recommends that land use proposals be evaluated from a regional, city-wide, and neighborhood perspective (LU-CD Policy 4) and to safeguard the integrity of existing residential neighborhoods (LU-CD Policy 7). The North King Street Master Plan (2007, as amended) also reinforces the designated land use recommendation of the property as commercial. Although there are no specific recommendations for the subject site, the Master Plan encourages land uses that reflect market realities and a commercial tenant mix that provides for reinvestment and future growth. Additionally, it emphasizes that the reuse of select existing commercial properties may be in the long-term best interest of both neighborhoods and businesses that can prosper along the corridor.
