Purpose
Background Statement:
Rezoning Application No. 16-00010 is a request to rezone 1.2+ acres located at 504 N King Street [LRSN 13004388] from C-3 [General Commercial] to DT-1 [Downtown Business District] with proffers. Rezoning to DT-1 will allow for renovation of the existing armory building as a micro-brewery, micro-distillery, restaurant, and live entertainment venue. This request is in keeping both with the policies and goals of the Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) and the Downtown Master Plan (2004, as amended).
The Downtown Master Plan (2004, as amended) specifically recommends reuse of this property as a live performance venue and notes it should be redeveloped to set the tone and character for redevelopment in the district. Applicable goals of the community plan speak to encouraging preservation and adaptive reuse of buildings that have historic value to the community and fostering the successful redevelopment of well-situated vacant industrial properties.
The proposed operation will have an occupancy of approximately 1100 when considering both customers and staff. Expected hours of operation are from 11:30AM until 10:00PM Monday through Thursday, 11:30AM until midnight on Friday and Saturday, and 11:30AM until 10:00PM on Sunday. In total, 174 parking spaces are required to accommodate this volume of staff and customers. Per the zoning ordinance, off-site parking credits have been awarded to reach this number.
Twelve conditions are proffered with this rezoning application and include limiting the uses to micro-brewery, micro-distillery, restaurant and live entertainment; a conceptual layout, materials, and fencing.
