City of Hampton Page 3 Printed on 9/18/2024 MEMORANDUM TO: Hampton Planning Commission FROM: Mike Hayes, AICP Planning & Zoning Administration Division Manager DATE: September 13, 2024 SUBJECT: September 2024 Planning Commission Meeting The next meeting of the Hampton Planning Commission is Thursday, September 19th at 3:00PM. We will meet in the Community Development Department Conference Room for the work session. The regular meeting will begin at 3:30PM in City Council Chambers. This month’s agenda has two special sections. The first is the election of Chair and Vice Chair. During the work session, we will review the procedures for the election. The second section of the agenda that does not appear routinely is related to the three short- term rental Use Permit applications, which were deferred by the Commission to this meeting with the updated ordinance having become effective at the beginning of the month. One of the applicants requested a withdrawal of their application. Since the application was duly advertised then deferred to this specific meeting, it must appear on the agenda with a request for the Planning Commission to accept the withdrawal. To be clear, action is required by the Planning Commission to accept the withdrawal. The other two Use Permit applications have converted to Zoning Administrator Permits. However, in keeping with the action taken by City Council and in an effort to have a clean record for the Use Permit applications, staff has included them on the agenda to make clear for the public and the record that they have converted. This section of the agenda, involving the short-term rental applications, is not a public hearing. With respect to public hearing items, there is only one on the agenda. It is a rezoning application for 67 W. Little Back River Road where the owner is requesting to rezone the property to the R-4 District single-family district to subdivide a lot that is unusually wide for the neighborhood into two lots. The Director’s Report this month will be taken solely by Youth Planner Report. Please reach out and let us know if you expect to be in attendance at the September meeting. If you have questions about the package or particular items, feel free to reach out to me at 757.728.5244 or mdhayes@hampton.gov.

City of Hampton Page 1 Printed on 9/13/2024 AT THE WORK SESSION OF THE HAMPTON PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONFERENCE ROOM, 5 TH FLOOR, CITY HALL, 22 LINCOLN STREET, HAMPTON, VIRGINIA, ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 2024 AT 3:00 P.M. Chair Michael Harris called the work session to order at 3:01 P.M. A call of the roll noted Commissioners Kathy Rogers, Tracy Brooks, Brian DeProfio, Vice- Chair Ruthann Kellum and Chair Michael Harris as being present. Commissioners Trina Coleman and Hope Harper were noted as absent. Staff in attendance were Secretary to the Commission/Community Development Deputy Director Kimberly Mikel, Planning and Zoning Division Manager Mike Hayes, Zoning Administrator Allison Jackura, Assistant City Attorney Jessica Kraus, Senior Planner Davis Pemberton, Resiliency Specialist Olivia Askew, Resiliency Specialist Anna Hammond, Support Services Coordinator Kristie Graves and Clerk of Boards and Commissions Arlena Cahoon. The Commission and staff discussed the agenda items, with the following information being provided. Consideration of Appointment of Secretary to the Planning Commission: Assistant City Attorney Jessica Kraus introduced Community Development Department Deputy Director Kim Mikel to the Planning Commission. She noted the first item on the agenda is the appointment of a new Secretary to the Planning Commission. Typically, the Community Development Department Director is appointed as Secretary, however, the Bylaws allow the Director to assign a designee for the appointment. With that said, the Community Development Department Interim Director Jason Mitchell selected Deputy Director Mikel as the designee. Deputy Director Mikel has been working in the Community Development Department for a long time as Deputy Director, Zoning Enforcement Division Manager, and Codes Official. She is also currently working on a lot of Planning and Zoning work so she will be a great fit for the Planning Commission. Deputy Directory Kim Mikel noted there is one (1) public hearing item on the agenda this afternoon. It involves a rezoning application for construction of a townhouse development on fee simple lots. This item was deferred by the Planning Commission in June to provide some time for the applicant to meet with City staff and the Montessori school to address concerns from the community. The proffers have been updated by the applicant, which include a fence along the shared and rear property line. Senior Planner Davis Pemberton stated that prior to the June Planning Commission meeting, staff received feedback and concerns from faculty and parents of the Montessori school. In efforts to address the concerns, staff worked with different departments and divisions as well as Hampton City Schools. Additionally, the applicant has met with the Montessori school and they have reached an agreement for the applicant to install a fence on the school’s site. The fence installation agreement between the applicant and the Montessori school is not a part of consideration for this application. Assistant City Attorney Kraus added that the Planning Commission may hear about two (2) fences tonight. One of the fences are on the applicant’s property, which can be taken into consideration for approval or denial. The other fence is on a separate piece of property, so it cannot be included in the decision-making process. Work Session & Public Meeting Minutes 20240822 Page 1 In response to a question from Vice Chair Kellum, Senior Planner Davis Pemberton responded that the Magruder Run Apartments abuts the southern property line of the Montessori school. Due to the lack of pedestrian infrastructure in the area, it is believed that residents from those apartments are crossing into the Montessori school’s site in order to get to the intersection of Commanding Shepherd Boulevard and Neil Armstrong Parkway. In response to another question from Vice Chair Kellum, Senior Planner Pemberton responded that one of the concerns from June was that the site was being used as a turnaround point by Hampton City School buses. Staff contacted Hampton City Schools Chief Operations Officer, confirmed that it is now a no-go zone, and the issue has been resolved. Deputy Director Mikel noted that in addition to the public hearing items, there will be an August Youth Planner report followed by a Natural Infrastructure Resilience Plan Briefing. This briefing has already been presented to Hampton City Council as a work session item. There will be a brief overview at tonight’s meeting and will be brought back to the Planning Commission sometime in the fall as a Comprehensive Planning Amendment to vote on. Assistant City Attorney Kraus announced that elections for Chair and Vice-Chair will be at the September Planning Commission meeting and the current Chair and Vice-Chair are eligible to run a second term if they would like to do so. The work session adjourned at 3:09 P.M.

APPOINTMENTS 3. 24-0379 CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT OF SECRETARY TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Assistant City Attorney Jessica Kraus noted that this agenda item is for appointment of the Secretary to the Planning Commission. With the departure of the Community Development Department Director Bonnie Brown, the Planning Commission requires a new Secretary. The Bylaws of the Planning Commission state that the Director of Community Development, or their Designee, can be appointed as Secretary. Public Works Director Jason Mitchell was selected as the Interim Director of Community Development and designated Deputy Director Kim Mikel as the recommended Secretary. Deputy Director Mikel has been a part of the Community Development Department for a long time. In her current role, she has worked closely with the Planning and Zoning Division. Prior to that, she worked with enforcement and served as a code’s official. Considering Deputy Director Mikel’s experience, she is qualified to be appointed as Secretary to the Planning Commission.

Staff recommends approval of Rezoning Application No. 24-0278 with fourteen (14) proffered conditions. On behalf of the applicant, Mr. Tim Trant, presented the proposed site plans for the parcels located at 31, 39, 41, and 49 Semple Farm Road and was available to answer questions on the subject application. Chair Harris opened the public hearing. Michelle D’Antonio, head of Hampton Roads International Montessori school, stated that they met with D.R. Horton to review the changes in the proposed site plan and they support the decision to approve the subject application. Vice-Chair Kellum thanked the applicant and Montessori school for taking the opportunity of meeting with each other to resolve any concerns. With there being no further questions or speakers, the Planning Commission approved the following resolution: WHEREAS: the Hampton Planning Commission has before it this day a rezoning application to rezone four parcels located at 31, 39, 41, and 49 Semple Farm Road [LRSN: 6001077, 6000966, 6001076, and 6001075], totaling +/- 7.93 acres, from One Family Residential (R-11) District to Townhouse Multifamily Residential (MD-1) District with conditions to construct townhomes on fee-simple lots; WHEREAS: The proposed development as described in the application includes 67 two-story townhome units in a mix of building configurations from 3-unit to 6-unit models. The homes are anticipated to contain approximately 1,500 square feet of conditioned Work Session & Public Meeting Minutes 20240822 Page 4 floor space, feature front loaded garages, raised slab foundations, and brick or stone veneer on all sides of the foundation. The proposed townhomes are expected to be for-sale units. The development will also feature community bike racks, a community gazebo, children’s playground area, pedestrian trail, and two (2) electric vehicle charging stations; WHEREAS: the subject properties are zoned One-Family Residential (R-11) District. The subject properties are also located within the Overlay – Magruder Visual Corridor (O-MVC) District; WHEREAS: the Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) recommends rural density residential and high density residential for the subject properties; WHEREAS: the subject site features a portion of the 200-foot Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) utility easement. With this and the unique shape of the lot, the project utilizes 2.24 acres of the 7.93-acre site for residential purposes, and 4.82 acres for open/natural space. The remaining 0.87 acres will be dedicated to roads and rights-of-way. In total, the development is expected to have a development density of 8.4 units per acre. Overall, the expected development density falls between the two future land use recommendation categories and aligns with the recommended development density for low-density residential at 8.4 units per acre WHEREAS: there are fourteen (14) proffered conditions including unit count, conformance with the conceptual plan and elevations, high quality building and fencing materials, inclusion of community amenities, and resilient and sustainable elements. Additional proffered conditions can be found in the rezoning application. The proffered conditions ensure that the proposed development will meet the goals of the Hampton Community Plan. WHEREAS: City staff’s analysis of the proposal confirms it is in alignment with the City’s overall adopted polices and recommendations that support safeguarding existing neighborhoods through appropriate land use transitions and a diverse mix of housing types and values in this area. With the proposed proffered conditions in place, staff finds that the development would support the adopted policies relevant to this site; WHEREAS: City staff recommends approval of this Rezoning Action application with fourteen (14) proffered conditions; WHEREAS: The applicant’s agent, Tim Trant, presented the proposal to Planning Commission on behalf of the applicant, D.R. Horton, Inc.; and WHEREAS: one (1) member of public spoke in favor of this rezoning application.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR’S REPORT 4. 24-0377 AUGUST 2024 MONTHLY YOUTH PLANNER REPORT Senior Planner Davis Pemberton introduced the new Junior Youth Planner Henry Godfrey to the Planning Commission. Junior Youth Planner Henry Godfrey provided an overview on the work he has done that involved youth engagement and assisting with revising the new Youth Masterplan for 2025. Senior Planner Pemberton presented the Youth Planner Report for the Hampton Youth Commission (HYC). On August 19th and 20th, the Hampton Youth Commission met at Fort Monroe for their annual retreat to prepare for the upcoming academic year. They worked on their goals and objectives including the Youth Masterplan as well as planning for a grant hearing and candidate forum for the election year. Additionally, they elected the Chair and Vice-Chair for the Youth Commission and its Subcommittees. In response to a question from Commissioner Brooks, Youth Planner Godfrey and Senior Planner Pemberton responded that they are still working on the details of the time and location for the candidate forum. Once they finalize the details in the next Youth Commission meeting, they will send out the information. Vice-Chair Kellum congratulated Youth Planner Godfrey on being selected as the new Junior Youth Planner. She further commented that the candidate forum is one of the best forums and would like to publicize it once the details are confirmed. Chair Harris congratulated Youth Planner Godfrey on behalf of the Planning Commission and mentioned that he is planning to attend some of their meetings this year. Upcoming Events: • September 16th: Commission meeting (Ruppert Sargent Veterans Conference Room) • September 23rd: Commission meeting (City Hall, 5th Floor) • October 28th: Candidates Forum (Time and Location to be determined) 5. 24-0383 NATURAL INFRASTRUCTURE RESILIENCE PLAN BRIEFING Resiliency Specialist Olivia Askew presented a briefing on the Natural Infrastructure Resilience Plan. This included an overview of the plan and process, data analysis, draft implementation strategies, and what the next steps will be. In response to a question from Vice-Chair Kellum, Resiliency Specialist Olivia Askew answered that the incentives for conservation landscaping are more related to financial incentives, such as grants or reimbursement programs. Work Session & Public Meeting Minutes 20240822 Page 6 In response to another question from Vice-Chair Kellum, Resiliency Specialist Askew responded that this plan has already been through a community engagement process. When staff talked to the community about why they are not implementing conservation landscaping, it was usually due to the costs. Additionally, the term “conservation landscaping” doesn’t necessarily equate to an overgrown lawn. Commissioner Brian DeProfio added that if there are financial incentives involved, it would go through the City’s budget process and be considered by City Council. For example, when thinking about incentives, the City may also offer flexibility to developers in order to achieve other goals of the City. Resiliency Specialist Askew added that when it is time for the plan to be voted on, it will contain action items that will provide a better perspective on general terms like “incentivize”. Furthermore, the City is always reviewing the Codes and Ordinances to see how they can support natural infrastructure while maintaining the standards set for the community. In response to a question from Chair Harris, Resiliency Specialist Askew responded that the analysis is capturing the space as tree canopy, instead of the grass or the shrub that’s underneath it. That’s why the pervious decreases as the canopy increases. VII. ITEMS BY THE PUBLIC There were no items by the public. VIII. MATTERS BY THE COMMISSION There were no matters by the Commission. IX. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:31 PM.

Due to it having been previously advertised and deferred to this date by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission must act to accept the withdrawal. UPDATED BACKGROUND STATEMENT FOR MARCH 21, 2024: At the February 28th City Council meeting, City Council chose to defer the short-term rentals on their agenda to the June 12 City Council meeting. This deferral is in order to allow time for the development and codification of policies related to short-term rentals. In line with City Council’s decision, staff also recommends that the Planning Commission City of Hampton Page 1 Printed on 9/13/2024 Agenda Item Summary Continued (23-0280) defer all current short-term rental Use Permit applications to the July 18 Planning Commission meeting. UPDATED BACKGROUND STATEMENT FOR DECEMBER 14, 2023: This item was deferred at the September 21, 2023 Planning Commission meeting. Background Statement: Use Permit Application No. 23-0280 (formerly 23-00028) is a request for a use permit for a short-term rental (STR) located at 507 Whealton Rd [LRSN: 3000788]. The property is zoned One-Family Residential (R-13) District. Since City Council began holding public hearings regarding specific use permit applications, they have heard from many community members about the anticipated impacts to their neighborhoods stemming from the use. So far, City Council has approved eleven (11) use permits for short-term rentals, and there are many more currently pending. City Council requested that city staff evaluate the issue of density of short-term rentals. City Staff is currently in the process of developing legal and policy recommendations and will brief the City Council in February. In light of comments that Council has received regarding the appropriateness of short-term rentals within primarily residential areas, Council is now also asking staff to provide recommendations about how the City might regulate areas where short-term rentals may be permitted within the City. These recommendations were provided to Council during a briefing in September in closed session at which time Council determined that staff should engage stakeholders concerning future policies before proceeding with any policy decisions. Therefore, the City Council voted to defer all short-term rental items on the agenda for the November 2023 City Council meeting to the February 2024 City Council meeting. This will allow time for Council to receive legal guidance from the City Attorney’s Office, consider its options to regulate density, and to what extent particular areas of the city are appropriate for short-term rentals. It will also allow the opportunity to engage with the public concerning the proposed path forward before acting further on short-term rental use permits. Staff is recommending that all short-term rental items on the Planning Commission’s December 2023 agenda be deferred to the March 2024 Planning Commission meeting public hearing. All pending STR applicants have been informed of City Council’s and Planning Commission’s decision to defer all STR applications. Given the City Council’s request for further policy development in order to evaluate pending and future STR applications, staff is not in a position to recommend either approval or denial of such applications nor is staff in a position to recommend conditions, at this time. Recommendations: City of Hampton Page 2 Printed on 9/13/2024 Agenda Item Summary Continued (23-0280) Staff Recommendation: Accept the withdrawal of this application City of Hampton Page 3 Printed on 9/13/2024 Narrative Statement for Use Permit For STR The proposed short-term rental will be only used within the principal dwelling, which has 2761 square feet and has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The property also features an attached accessory dwelling unit (mother-in-law suite) which features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. This mother-in-law suite will not be used for the short-term rental. When people visit the city of Hampton, they want to experience what it’s like to be a local. We give them that experience by providing the amenities and services of a hotel, but through privately owned properties, like this one. Our guests generally visit from out of the area, and typically stay for 1-6 nights. Once they’ve provided their ID and if approved by us, they book their stay. After each guest departs, the property is thoroughly cleaned to the highest standards by our professional cleaning company. Guests are allowed to park in the parking area which accommodates about 8 cars. The property can house about 8 guests at a time. We have 2 employees; a housekeeper and a handyman. We intend to have 100% occupancy if possible. The property has about 8 parking spaces onsite but our guests typically need just one since they usually come in with one vehicle. The home owner has permitted Chinwendu Calis Nnagbo and her team members to operate a short-term rental business from this property.

City of Hampton Page 1 Printed on 9/13/2024 Agenda Item Summary Continued (23-0352) UPDATED BACKGROUND STATEMENT FOR MARCH 21, 2024: At the February 28th City Council meeting, City Council chose to defer the short-term rentals on their agenda to the June 12 City Council meeting. This deferral is in order to allow time for the development and codification of policies related to short-term rentals. In line with City Council’s decision, staff also recommends that the Planning Commission defer all current short-term rental Use Permit applications to the July 18 Planning Commission meeting. Background Statement: Use Permit Application No. 23-0352 (formerly 23-00002) is a request for a use permit for a short-term rental (STR) located at 28 Castle Haven Rd [LRSN: 13000709]. The property is zoned One-Family Residential (R-11) District. The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) designates this area as low-density residential. It sets forth the policies that a mix of land uses appropriate for the district should be encouraged, and tourism and entertainment opportunities should be expanded provided this is done in a way that safeguards the integrity of existing residential neighborhoods. This item was deferred from the July 20, 2023 Planning Commission meeting. Seven members of the community expressed opposition to this proposal based on concerns regarding property values, safety, and integrity of the neighborhood. If the use permit is to be granted, staff has identified fifteen (15) recommended conditions based upon the proposed use’s operational and land use characteristics. Among the conditions are limitations on occupancy and capacity, which is governed by the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, in addition to conditions related to a ledger, a local contact person, and restrictions on events. Before the City Council began considering short-term rental use permits, Council convened a stakeholder group to provide the Council with recommendations about how to best regulate short-term rentals. That stakeholder group included neighborhood commission members, a bed and breakfast operator, a hotel operator, and short-term rental operators. The group provided Council with recommended conditions for short-term rentals. However, since the Council began holding public hearings regarding specific use permit applications, they have heard from many community members about the anticipated impacts to their neighborhoods stemming from the use. So far, City Council has approved eleven (11) use permits for short-term rentals, and there are approximately fifty (50) applications currently pending. City Council requested that city staff evaluate the issue of density of short-term rentals. City Staff is currently in the process of developing legal and policy recommendations and will brief the City Council in September in closed session. City of Hampton Page 2 Printed on 9/13/2024 Agenda Item Summary Continued (23-0352) In light of comments that Council has received regarding the appropriateness of short-term rentals within primarily residential areas, Council is now also asking staff to provide recommendations about how the City might regulate areas where short-term rentals may be permitted within the City. Therefore, the City Council voted to defer all short-term rental items on the agenda to a November 2023 City Council meeting. This will allow time for Council to receive legal guidance from the City Attorney’s Office, consider its option to regulate density, and appropriate areas for short-term rentals. It will also allow the opportunity to engage with the public concerning the proposed path forward before acting further on short-term rental use permits.

Traffic Impact Staff does not anticipate that the requested rezoning and development of two single-family homes would cause a significant or negative impact in the parking or traffic to the current or surrounding properties. Community Meeting A community meeting has not been scheduled at this time. Analysis The applicant and property owner of 67 W Little Back River Road [LRSN: 8005581], Cornerstone Custom Homes LLC, is seeking to rezone the parcel, totaling +/- 0.35 acres, from One-Family Residential (R-9) to One-Family Residential (R-4) District with proffered conditions. The rezoning would allow for the parcel to be subdivided into two (2) parcels for the purpose of building a single-family home on each. Under current zoning regulations, lots in the R-9 District require a minimum frontage of sixty (60) feet. The surveyed parcel currently has one hundred (100) feet of street frontage, making it ineligible for subdivision under the existing base zoning district. Rezoning to the R-4 District, which requires a minimum frontage of fifty (50) feet for lots without alley access, would allow the parcel to be subdivided and developed into two (2) single- family homes. In order to qualify for the R-4 District, adherence to a “city adopted pattern book” is required [Zoning Ordinance Section 4-101(2)]. In addition to a city adopted pattern book, the proposed lots and overall development as part of this application would generally meet the characteristics of several single- family lots surrounding it; a number of parcels located along West Little Back River Road, Westover Street, Rebel Street, and Sinclair Road feature less than sixty (60) feet in street frontage, which demonstrates a neighborhood character that supports smaller lots. With this in mind, if these surrounding parcels were platted today, they would need to be zoned R-4 in order to comply with minimum dimensional lot requirements of the current zoning regulations. Therefore, applying the R-4 zoning district to the subject property is not only appropriate but also consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. The Hampton Community Plan (2006, as amended) provides goals, objectives, and policies for the future of Hampton. Policies applicable to this land use application include Page 4 of 6 RZ 24-0399 STAFF EVALUATION but are not limited to encouraging and maintaining a diverse mix of housing types and values; promoting high quality design and site planning that is compatible with surrounding development; and encouraging high quality new developments that are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods. The Community Plan also includes recommendations for appropriate land uses. The Land use recommendation for the subject property is low-density residential, which includes areas with a recommended density range of from 3.5 units to less than 9 units per acre. In addition to the polices found within the Hampton Community Plan, the property falls within the boundaries of the North King Street Master Plan (2007, as amended), which is augmented by the Hampton Pattern Book (2011, as amended). These documents were created and adopted in recognition of the uniqueness and opportunity of the area. While the subject property is not specifically highlighted or mentioned in the Master Plan, one of its primary objectives is to support and enhance the overall health of its adjacent neighborhoods, and it highlights one of the largest obstacles to achieving the potential housing market is the lack of available land and the lack of new investment. In its opening, the Pattern Book describes its purpose, which is informative when reviewing applications for development in the North King Street area: The best qualities of historic neighborhoods are those that provide connections between the elements most meaningful to both past and future, whether those are connections between people and a sense of community, between places and buildings, or between heritage and growth. The Hampton Pattern Book describes the city’s unique character and the essential characteristics of its built form that citizens know and cherish. The Pattern Book demonstrates how new development can fit in harmoniously with the community’s historic traditions. New buildings and public spaces should reflect the cherished characteristics of the region’s existing neighborhoods.… The Pattern Book illustrates how to properly plan and design for that growth. The qualitative design measures contained in the Pattern Book augment the requirements defined in zoning and other development-related requirements. The design and construction of the proposed structures will adhere to the Hampton Pattern Book's Colonial Model style, complementing the character of the older homes in the neighborhood. Key features of the building design include the use of high-quality, durable materials on the front, side, and rear facades. The first finished floor will be raised a minimum of thirty-six (36) inches, and the foundation will be faced on all sides with full- face brick. If a garage is included, it will be set back eighteen (18) inches from the main front facade of the structure, and the garage door will feature windows and decorative hardware. Page 5 of 6 RZ 24-0399 STAFF EVALUATION The proposed rezoning is in line with the Hampton Community Plan’s policies and future land use recommendation, and meets objectives of the North King Street Master Plan by utilizing available and undeveloped land while supporting and enhancing the overall health of its adjacent neighborhood.
