Rezoning Application No. 21-00005: This is a rezoning application by HRCN, LLC to rezone a parcel at the northeast corner of Commander Shepard Boulevard and North Campus Parkway [LRSN: 13004555], totaling +3.26 acres, from Hampton Roads Center 2 (HRC-2) District to Limited Commercial (C-2) District with proffered conditions. Approval of this application would permit development of a commercial retail center. The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends business industrial for this area. Lead Staff: Donald Whipple, Chief Planner B. (Deferral requested by applicant to October meeting) Use Permit Application No. 21- 00012: This is a use permit application by Kristopher W. Wilgus to operate an Animal Day Care, located at 2409 and 2411 Kecoughtan Road [LRSN: 1003602 and 1003603, respectively]. The property is zoned Neighborhood Commercial (C-1). The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends mixed-use for this area. This property is within the Kecoughtan Master Plan area, which recommends enhancing Kecoughtan Road as a residential boulevard with commercial development clustered in certain areas. Lead Staff: Frank Glover, City Planner C. Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 21-00003: This is a proposal by the City of Hampton to amend and re-enact the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Hampton, Virginia by amending Section 3-2 entitled “Table of Uses Permitted” and Section 3-3 entitled “Additional Standards on Uses,” to modify where and how the uses of multifamily dwellings and upper-floor dwelling units are permitted. The Multiple Dwelling (MD-2, MD-3, and MD-4) and Limited Commercial (C-2) Districts currently permit multifamily dwellings by-right; if approved, this amendment would require a use permit for multifamily dwellings in those districts. The Residential Transition (RT-1) Page 1 of 2  District currently permits multifamily dwellings by-right; if this amendment is approved, a use permit would be required in the RT-1 District. The Downtown Districts (DT-1, DT-2, and DT-3) currently permit multifamily dwellings by-right. Under the proposed amendment, the Downtown Districts would permit multifamily dwellings by-right if certain additional development standards are met; multifamily dwellings not meeting those standards would be permitted with an approved use permit. This amendment would add upper-floor dwelling units as a by-right use to the Buckroe Bayfront (BB-3, BB-4, and BB-5) and the Fort Monroe (FM-2 and FM-3) Districts if certain additional development standards are met. The amendment would also add additional standards to the Phoebus (PH-1, PH-2, and PH-3) Districts. This amendment was previously heard under Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 20-00021, which was deferred indefinitely by City Council to allow additional time to consider impacts within the Coliseum Central area. This amendment also includes a technical change for restaurant and micro-brewery/distillery/winery uses in Chapter 3; this change does not impact the regulation of these uses.
