Title
Rezoning Application No. 16-00002 by the City of Hampton to rezone 34.63± acres including the portion of LRSN 13004302 within the inner fort area, as shown on the attached map, from One Family Residential (R-13) District to Fort Monroe Inner Fort (FM-1) District
Purpose
Background Statement:
The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends military land use for this area but is proposed to be amended by concurrently-advertised Fort Monroe Land Use Plan (2016), which recommends mixed uses with a focus on park support for this area.
