The Hampton Planning Commission convened on November 16, 2023, at 20:30 UTC (3:30 PM local) to address several land use applications, a capital improvement plan briefing, and routine matters. The meeting opened with an unexpected change in agenda order due to a potential power outage by Dominion Power, prompting the Commission to hear Riverside Hospital items early. Key actions included approvals of rezonings and use permits for medical and residential developments, as well as a briefing on the city's capital improvement plan.
We'll call it an order of the meeting of the Planning Commission. Please call the role. Commissioner Bond is present. ICARS. Present. Commissioner Brooks. Present. Commissioner Colman. Present. Commissioner Callum. Here. Commissioner Halker. Present. Chairman. Chairman Bond. Present. I will now turn it over to Director of Community Development, Barty Warren. Good afternoon, everyone. As we discussed in our work session, and for the benefit of the public, we understand that Dominion Power is doing some work in the area. And we may unexpectedly lose power. As a result in City Hall, we decided to move forward with the meeting, but we may end up having to end the meeting. So as a result of that, I'm requesting that the commission move up items five and six related to Riverside Hospital. Those particular applications are tied to a federal funding deadline, and we really need to hear them today if we can. So if the commission by consensus is okay with moving that up, I'd like to take those now and then we'll return back to the minutes and also add an item for a CIP briefing. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you. Commissioners, are we okay with moving that by commission? Thank you. Okay, great. So the first item then we'll move right to item five, which is a rezoning application number 23 0313 by Riverside Hospital Inc. to rezone a parcel totaling 13.8 acres from multiple residents RM district and limited commercial C2 district to limited commercial C2 district with conditions at 2244 Executive Drive, LRSN 7001882. And item six is use permit application number 23 0314 by Riverside Hospital Inc. to permit a mental health substance abuse treatment facility at 2244 Executive Drive, LRSN 7001882. Our presenter is David Pemberton, City Planner. Thank you. Good afternoon, Chair Vaughn, Vice Chair Harris, and the rest of the planning commission. This is rezoning application number 23-0313 and use permit application number 23-0314. The subject property is 2244 Executive Drive, and the applicant is Riverside Hospital Inc. More specifically, the rezoning application is an application to rezone the parcel located at 2244 Executive Drive, just under 14 acres from multiple residential RM district and limited commercial C2 district to limited commercial C2 district with conditions. Additionally, the use permit application is a use permit to allow the mental health substance abuse treatment facility use on the property. As indicated by the Red Star, the property is located within the Coliseum Central Area of Hampton. More specifically, as outlined in blue, you can see the property is located just west of the of the Centera Care Place campus across Coliseum Drive. So the proposal includes an expansion of the existing facility, approximately 420 square feet for a new entrance and waiting area to the outpatient services portion of the current uh use. And here's just a closer up aerial showing the approximate area of expansion within the existing building, um, more on the northeastern portion of the existing structure. And here's a rendering provided by the applicant demonstrating what the proposed edition may look like once it's complete. As previously mentioned, the property is currently split zoned, um resid multiple residential or RM district and limited commercial C2 district, with the primary structure and use being located on the RM within the RM district. Additionally, is also in located in the Coliseum Central Overlay District. And the future land use plan for this property designates it as mixed use. So going back on a little bit of history for this parcel and its uh current use and zoning.
