Title
Use Permit Application No. 17-00004 by Peninsula Main VA, LLC for an extended stay hotel at 3000 Allainby Way
Purpose
Background Statement:
Use Permit Application No. 17-00004 is a request for an extended stay hotel. The subject property is located at 3000 Allainby Way [LRSN 13002082], more specifically, the southern portion of the former Macy’s building in Peninsula Town Center. If approved, the use permit would apply to Block 6, Parcel 4 and Merchant Lane extension as depicted on Plat Book 2 Page 180, titled “Block 6, Peninsula Town Center”, Hampton, Virginia (see Exhibit A in the attached conditions).

Seeking a use permit for both an extended stay hotel and a hotel allows the applicant to pursue different types of hoteliers.
By definition, the distinguishing feature between the two uses is the kitchen facilities such as: a stove, a sink separate from the bathroom sink, and a refrigerator. Kitchen facilities are permitted in the rooms of an extended stay hotel but are not allowed in the rooms of a hotel; furthermore, a hotel use does not permit occupancy to exceed more than thirty (30) consecutive days for any guest. Per the attached conditions, the extended stay hotel must have a minimum of 120 rooms, with over 1,000 square feet of meeting room space.
Within the Coliseum Central District, the subject property is located on the western side of Peninsula Town Center, closest to Interstate- 64. More specifically, it is located at 3000 Allainby Way [LRSN 13002082]. The applicant intends to re-purpose the former Macy’s building (...
