Purpose
Background Statement:
Rezoning Application No. 24-0462 is a request to rezone 1814 Kecoughtan Road [LRSN 1005156] from Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) and One Family Residential (R-11) Districts to Multifamily Residential (MD-4) District with conditions to convert a vacant commercial building, originally constructed as a single-family home, to a multifamily residence. Key proffered conditions include adherence to the concept plan, improvements to the exterior materials, removal of the commercial sign, and enhanced landscaping.
The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends low density residential land use for the subject property. The Community Plan also includes policies protecting the character of existing neighborhoods while supporting an increase in housing mix and density in appropriate locations. The Kecoughtan Road Corridor Master Plan (2006, as amended) has an overarching vision of transforming Kecoughtan Road into a residential boulevard with commercial uses focused in key locations. On the west end of Kecoughtan Road in particular, the plan recommends redeveloping or repositioning underutilized commercial properties, many of which are deteriorating, to residential use.
The MD-4 District requires an approved Use Permit for multifamily use. Therefore, the rezoning application is coming forward in conjunction with Use Permit Application No. 24-0463.
