Title
Ordinance To Amend And Re-Enact Chapter 2 Of The Zoning Ordinance Of The City Of Hampton, Virginia Entitled “Definitions” By Amending Section 2-2 Pertaining To The Façade Zone
Purpose
Background Statement:
Staff is proposing to expand the definition of a façade zone in Section 2.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Currently, the definition only allows for a façade zone to be created off of a property line. This proposal would change that to permit a façade zone to be drawn from a setback line in addition.
This proposed amendment is being brought forward in conjunction with Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 19-00001 to alter the development standards in the Infill Housing Overlay District and create a façade zone, and also Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 19-00002 to update the lot frontage requirement for a parking reduction in the Infill Housing Overlay.
