Main Street, Zoning Map 25, Parcel 45A, and Zoning Map 26E, Parcel F*G*PT*J. APPLICANT: Adam Edbauer, Ryan Homes, applicant, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Virginia, property owner. LOCATION: The subject property is located downtown in the Main Street commercial and mixed-use corridor, about one (1) mile north of the Main Street bridge and the Nansemond River. The subject property is the site of a former Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) maintenance facility. PRESENT ZONING: The subject property is currently zoned B-2, General Commercial zoning district. The property is approximately eighty-nine (89) acres of which approximately seventy-two (72) acres are the subject of this rezoning request. The subject property is also located within the Special Corridor Overlay District (SCOD) along North Main Street. EXISTING LAND USE: The property is the former site of a VDOT maintenance facility that is no longer operational. Infrastructure and pervious surface that supported maintenance activities are present on the site. There is also a historic office building that is currently vacant. There are CBPA-regulated wetlands and non-CBPA-regulated wetlands present on the property. PROPOSED LAND USE: The applicant proposes to rezone the majority of the property (72 acres out of a total of 89 acres) to the RU-18, Residential Urban-18 zoning district (Conditional), to develop a total of 497 units, 12,000 s.f. of commercial space, and 38,000 s.f. of office space, as well as associated parking areas, a clubhouse, and a waterfront park. These 497 units are composed of the following: 168 age-restricted multifamily units (“senior housing”), 200 back-to-back townhomes, 75 front-load townhomes, and 54 rear-load townhomes. Please refer to the applicant’s proffer statement and conceptual plan for details regarding the proposed land use. SURROUNDING LAND USES: North: Mixed used development with a combination of multifamily units, offices, and commercial uses zoned MUD, Mixed Use Development Overlay District, and wetlands zoned RL, Residential Low zoning district. South: Commercial and office uses zoned B-2, General Commercial District. East: Single family detached dwellings zoned RLM, Residential Low Medium District. West: Commercial uses zoned B-2, General Commercial District, and single-family detached dwellings zoned RLM, Residential Low Medium District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The City’s 2045 Comprehensive Plan designates this area as part of the Central Growth Area, and as both Multifamily Neighborhood and Commercial Corridor land use types. CHESAPEAKE BAY PRESERVATION AREA DESIGNATION: The property is located within the City’s Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Overlay District (CBPA) and is designated as a Resource Protection Area (RPA). FLOOD PLAIN: The property lies within Flood Zone X, and Flood Zone AE as shown on Panel No. 5101560114E, dated August 3, 2015, of the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of Suffolk, Virginia. HISTORY: The subject property is the former site of a VDOT operational/maintenance facility. Staff found there was a boundary line adjustment where a lot line was vacated between Tax Map 25*45A and 25*45E. In addition, a rezoning application (RZN2023-008) was submitted on December 1st, 2023, although this application was later withdrawn by the applicant on 1/25/2024. There are no other relevant items to report. ISSUE: The applicant proposes to conditionally rezone approximately 72.2 acres of the subject property from the B-2, General Commercial District, to the RU-18, Residential Urban-18 (Conditional). Some sections at the south and northeast of the subject property/Tax Map 25*45A are to remain as B-2, General Commercial District. These remaining B-2 sections will allow for commercial and office uses to be established in the southern end of the property (in the vicinity of the historic office building), and will also allow for a commercial use at the northeast end of the property. Tax Map 25*45E, at the southwest of the property, will remain zoned MUD, Mixed-Use Development, to allow for a 1.3-acre public park, and to serve as the secondary entry road to the Meridian Obici site and into the proposed RU-18 residential neighborhood. The proposed proffers allow for a maximum of 497 residential units, from which 168 units are age-restricted, limited to residents ages 55 or older in accordance with the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development standards, and 329 units are single-family attached townhomes. This would yield a gross density of approximately 13.7 dwelling units per acre, which is below the maximum 18 dwelling units per acre that are allowed in the RU-18 zoning district. The applicant is proposing to convey the existing VDOT historic office building and the surrounding 2.3 acres of property within 30 days of subdivision plat approval.

The affected parcels include Tax Map Parcels 25*45A, 26E*F*G*PT*J, and 25*45E and total +/-89 acres. The first two parcels (along Main Street) are currently zoned B-2, General Commercial, along a Special Corridor Overlay District. The third parcel, Tax Map 25*45E, would remain zoned MUD, Mixed-Use Development, to allow for a +/-1.3-acre public park and serve as the secondary entry road to the Meridian Obici site and the proposed RU-18 residential neighborhood. Creating a grand entry by re-aligning the existing Memorial Drive from Main Street to the existing MUD and the current VDOT property will emphasize connectivity and walkability and allow us to consolidate access points along Main Street. It will create an alternative road network parallel to Main Street by extending Memorial Avenue south helping to eliminate additional trips onto Main Street. A shared road network with sidewalks will promote walkability between the adjacent mixed-use development, retail sites and the proposed community. The applicant proposes to rezone +/-72 acres of the +/-89 acres to the RU-18, Residential Urban zoning district, to develop a total of 497 dwelling units comprised of 168 active adult units, 4-story back-to-back townhomes, and 3-story front and rear loaded townhomes. The mix of residential products will provide housing for several different buyers in Suffolk, Virginia. The product mix allows for the much-needed active adult housing to allow Suffolk residents to age in place. The back-to-back townhome product fulfills the need for the “missing middle” housing. This concept highlights the need for diverse, affordable housing choices in sustainable, walkable neighborhoods. The development will also provide traditional townhomes and rear load townhomes. Some homes will back up to the preserved wetland area and Nansemond River while other homes will be arranged in a rowhouse style with an alley in the rear and fronts facing onto pedestrian friendly roadways or a passive green space. A +/-6.6-acre site fronting North Main Street adjacent to the existing Ford dealership and the Economic Development Authority’s property will be reserved as B-2 zoning to allow for commercial uses consistent with the remainder of the corridor. The front commercial site is envisioned to include neighborhood services for the adjacent communities. The B-2 area will also include the renovated historic office building. We envision saving some of the large trees within a park like setting where a gathering space for the community could be created. We envision open play, food trucks and other programmed gatherings to take place in the large park area shown on the Conceptual Plan along Main Street. A second +/-8.7-acre commercial site is reserved at the southeastern corner of the property along the Nansemond River to allow for a small public marina, water access, a restaurant or event space, and community clubhouse and pool. VDOT Rezoning Application –2– July 11, 2025 The applicant has proffered that the existing historic 3-story district office building (+/-38,000 SF in size), formerly used by VDOT, will be dedicated to the City of Suffolk in lieu of school proffers. The calculated impact of school proffers is $4,708,322.87 and the property’s appraised value is $6,270,000. Approximately 2.3 acres of land that includes the existing building and appropriate parking area shall be dedicated at the time of subdivision approval. The Master Plan features an appropriate balance of non-residential and residential uses for the area, a walkable street grid, 2 public parks, several private parks, preserved wetlands, forested areas, and appropriate transitions in uses that are compatible to surrounding properties. Overall, this is an excellent opportunity to fill an existing void along North Main Street, extend the road network parallel to Main Street and create a mixed-use, infill neighborhood that promotes a pedestrian friendly network north of downtown. This application is consistent with the 2045 Comprehensive Plan as the front of the property will remain part of the Commercial land use district and the majority of the rear of the site will be converted to the Multifamily land use district. The Comprehensive Plan supports retail, restaurants, personal services, office and multifamily uses at this location. The proposed density of roughly 13 units per acre falls within the middle of the Comprehensive Plan’s recommended density of 8-16 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan also encourages building heights of 2 or more stories, short walkable blocks, on-street and off-street parking, and pocket parks, which have all been incorporated into the Conceptual Master Plan.
