There will be a mix of unit types: 42% will be one-bedroom units, 37% will be two-bedroom units, and 21% will be three-bedroom units.

The rear of the site will include an outdoor amenity area, along with a parking lot with a total of 199 parking spaces. A 15-foot landscape buffer and a six (6) foot tall opaque wooden fence will separate the site from the one family residences to the north and east. Additional details of the proposed development can be found in the application and staff report.
The future land use map from the Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends mixed-use development for this site. The Coliseum Central Master Plan (2015, as amended) recommends high-density residential development on this site, to allow for pedestrian connections to the Hampton Coliseum and Newmarket Creek. The Plan encourages mixed-use and pedestrian-oriented development throughout Coliseum Central.
