Title
Rezoning Application by the E-Commerce Center of Hampton, LLC to Amend the Proffered Conditions Attached to the Zoning of the Property at 1708 Todds Lane [LRSN:3009404]
Purpose
Background Statement:
This application is a request to amend the existing proffers for the E-Commerce Center of Hampton to allow additional commercial uses from those uses that are currently allowed. The subject property, 1708 Todds Lane, is zoned General Commercial (C-3) District with proffered conditions.
