Title
Rezoning Application No. 18-00001 by B&B Contracting LLC, to rezone approximately 0.8± acres of land located at 6 Windsor Drive
Purpose
Background Statement:
This is a request to rezone a 0.8+ acres of land at 6 Windsor Drive [LRSN 7000267] from One Family Residence [R-13] District to One Family Residence [R-11] District with proffered conditions. The subject property is located within the Windsor Terrace neighborhood off of Armistead Avenue. The proposed development features the subdivision of one lot into three lots to include three two-story single family homes with attached two-car garages. Each home will contain approximately 3,100 square feet of living space.

In contrast, the proposed R-11 zoning district allows for a density of up to 4.5 units per acre with a minimum lot frontage of 70 feet. Most of the properties/lots within the Windsor Terrace neighborhood are in line with the dimensional lot standards for R-11, even though the entire neighborhood is zoned R-13. If approved, the requested zoning change would allow for the applicant to build three homes under the R-11 zoning, instead of constructing two homes under the existing R-13 zoning district.
Since portions of the subject property falls within the Flood Zone Overlay (O-FZ) District there will be requirements for some of the homes to be elevated to comply with the flood zone standards. In addition to the zoning regulations, the Hampton Community Plan (2006, as emended) and the Coliseum Central Master Plan (2015, as amended...
