Title
Ordinance to Amend And Re-Enact Chapter 3 Of The Zoning Ordinance Of The City Of Hampton, Virginia Entitled “Uses Permitted” By Amending Section 3-2 Pertaining to Dance Schools and Business Schools
Purpose
Background Statement:
The Use Table is located in Chapter 3 of the Zoning ordinance; it lists public and private schools together and business and dance schools independently. If approved, this amendment will remove business and dance schools from the Use Table because these uses will fall under the definition of a public or private school. It also makes a housekeeping change to separate private school and public school in the Use Table. This Zoning Ordinance amendment is proposed concurrently with Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 17-00006 (Agenda Item # 17-0374), which adds definitions of public and private school. Any proposed business or dance school would then fall under one of these two school categories.
Currently, public and private schools are permitted subject to approval of a use permit in the following zoning districts:
-All of the One-Family Residential zoning districts; except, they are not permitted in (R-4).
-All of the multi-family residential districts; except, they are not permitted in Multi-Family(MD-4)
-All commercial districts: Neighborhood Commercial (C-1), Limited Commercial (C-2), and General Commercial (C-3)
-Limited Manufacturing District (M-1)
-Residential Transition (RT-1)
-All of the Downtown districts [Downtown Business (DT-1), Downtown Waterfront (DT-2), and Downtown Residential (DT-3)]
Public and private schools are permitted without a use permit in:
-Hampton Roads Center South (HRC-1)
-Hampton Roads Center North (HRC-2)
