On the community development directors report, we have the June Youth Planner Report, and that will be presented by Henry Godfrey.
So as we see as we've hit the halfway point, you know, being that it's June, what has this year looked like so far?
Has it been a lot of planning for vacation?
Has it been this year stretching you?
What has it been?
However, it's been this is how the Hampton Youth Commission has ended our year.
Looking at the month of August, you know, we have the annual retreat.
This is where the executive committee got appointed, you know, being able to be voting for the executive committee, our first annual stakeholder jamboree where we got to meet a lot of the stakeholders, you know, the mayor, all the people that helped make up the city of Hampton, and neighborhood commission representative appointment by the commission for the commissioners as well too.
September kicked off our first official meeting.
Looking at October, we have recruitment planning.
You know, we made a budget, learned about the CIP, and started the youth master Plan.
November Compassion night was a night where we got to have the opportunity to brand ourselves and really get our name out there.
The stakeholders meeting was where we got to discuss with different school stakeholders and be able to see how we can make an impact within our selective schools.
In December, we had our grants hearing, you know, commissioners funded grants to make an impact of youth for Hampton.
This would be a defining event because a lot of groups all made an impact within the city and are continuing to do so by the day.
Looking at January, we have our start a start of recruitment season, you know, really planning for how we were going to talk to the different students of the respective high schools, as well as the youth climate action fund, which is basically a fund which helps different international organizations throughout the country to be able to establish an impact community on climate change.
Sorry about that.
February, we had an annual reset for the Hampton Youth Commission.
This is where we established new norm new norms, kept old ones and grant review, as well as commissioners actively recruiting at high schools.
March was our skate no hate event, youth orchestra and continuation of recruiting.
That was all gas no breaks from the beginning, so we just wanted to keep going with that.
April was Teen Town Hall.
You know, we talked to different stakeholders, like the officers as well as the fire chief, and we started commissioner interviews.
May marked our official onboarding meeting, new commissioners, conclusion of recruiting and planning for our senior dinner.
And finally, June was our senior dinner year end party and preparation for next school year.
I do want to say first of all, thank you so much for the past two years.
As I conclude my last presentation ever, I do want to say thank you to everybody who supported me, and really it gave me a lot of bit of confidence, so really thank you for that as well too.
I now open the floor to any questions you may have.
Thank you, Mr.
Godfrey.
Are there any questions from commissioners or comments?
Yes, Commissioner Griffith.
Mr.
Godfrey, I just want to thank you for your presentations, they're so uplifting, and it's a pleasure to have you present to us uh each commission meeting.
Thank you so much for your hard work, sir.
Thank you.
Commissioner Samuels.
Mr.
Godfrey, I just want to commend you once again for um my time being here.
I have enjoyed your presentations.
They're always very, as my um colleagues said, very uplifting, and I just think you are such a wonderful young man.
I have seen you in different venues, and you have always performed.
I know that you graduated from VPCC.

Commissioner Coleman.
Thank you, madam chair.
Mr.

Uh it's been a pleasure.
I'm glad that we were able to cross paths as we had some people in common.
And um, I know you're gonna do great things, and you'll be close by, so I'll be harassing you and seeing how you're working on your canvas skills.
All right, thank you.
Any other comments, madam chair?
Yes, uh, Commissioner Muggler.

I'd I'd also like to um thank Mr.
Godfrey for participating uh through the youth committee and on the planning committee, and uh on behalf of the council, thank you for all the work, and uh I want to say congratulations on your recent graduation, one from high school, one from Virginia Peninsula, and you said that this would be your last presentation ever, and I don't think this is your last presentation ever.
I think it's your last presentation to this commission, maybe, but I think there are a lot of presentations in front of you.
Thank you so much, and Braun, thank you.
Amazing world.
All right, Mr.
Godfrey.
Clearly, you have a lot of cheerleaders up here that are wishing you the best, and they'll be looking forward to hearing from you in the future.
Um, perhaps we'll see you sitting in the audience or coming up to speak for public hearing going forward.
All right, thank you so much.
Thank you.
Our next uh agenda item is the Planning commission bylaws.
Yes, madam chair.
As we discussed in the work session, I'd like to request that you uh defer this item until next month on the suggestion of the city attorney.
And commissioners, um, we just need agreement that we will defer the um discussion about bylaws until next month.
Are we in agreement to defer?
Okay, so let that be recorded that we will address the bylaws next month in July.
Thank you.
All right, we will be heading on into our public hearing.
Um Director Michael.
All right, thank you.
I will start by reading the public hearing protocol.
The planning commission of the city of Hampton takes pride in being fair and courteous to all parties in attendance.
It is important that all involved understand how the commission conducts its hearings and how all persons before the commission should conduct themselves.
Individuals other than the applicant or their representative who have signed up to comment on the case will have three minutes to present their comments.
All comments must be directed to the commission.
No person may address the commission unless he or she is called by the chair.
Speakers must remain at the podium or microphone while addressing the commission.
Speakers who have signed up may not donate their time to other speakers.
And please note that unless otherwise stated, the actions taken by the commission today are in the form of a recommendation to the Hampton City Council.
The first decision to approve or disapprove an application will be made by the city council at a future date.
With that, the first public hearing item is 26-0176.
It's a rezoning application by Prileman's property management LLC to rezone approximately 5.19 acres at 618 632, 634, 636, and 638 Aberdeen Road and 2303 60th Street.
LRSN 1000303, 1000440, 1000441, 1000442, 1000443, and 1000301, respectively.
From light manufacturing M2, limited commercial C2 district, and one family residential R11 districts to Light Manufacturing M2 with conditions to expand and operate a crane and rigging business.
Here to present on behalf of staff is Chief Planner Donald Whipple.
Thank you, Madam Chair, members of the commission.
As just read, this is re-zoning application number 26-0176 by uh Prolman Crane and Rigging, uh located uh the properties in question uh 618 to 636 Aberdeen Road and 2303 60 Street.
Specifically is to rezone these properties, which are approximately uh over five acres from one family R11 district and limited commercial C2 district and light manufacturing M2 district to M2 district conditional to expand and operate a crane existing crane and rigging business.
As indicated by the red star here, this is the property location within the city of Hampton.
It is located within the Copeland Industrial Park.
More specifically, here's the property.
The subject properties is outlined in blue.
This as identified here by the cursor.
This is the existing uh operation as it is today, and then the proposed expansion would be in this area here.
So specifically, there's an existing crane and rigging business that, as I just pointed out on the map, that currently operates at the 2303 60th Street uh location, and they wish to expand their business to encompass five additional parcels, 618, 632, 634, 636, and 638 Aberdeen Road.
The site access will uh be off of 60th Street, and their proposal also includes landscape buffer uh as well as fencing along Aberdeen Road and the residences uh that occur to the north.
This is their concept plan.
Uh, you see all the area in blue, that is the area that would be rezoned.
Or out actually, out the outlined area would be the property that is zoned uh would be re rezoned to M2.
Uh, the area in blue is the operational area, and then the green band here uh to the left side, and then across a portion of the bottom.
That is the proposed landscape buffer.
This is the existing zoning map, as I uh previously mentioned, the existing site is uh light industrial M2.
This is a property that's uh existing commercial property, that's zone C2 on the corner, and then these four residential lots.
Two of the parcels as being business industrial and the other four as low density residential.
Other guidance from the public policy from our community plan refers to promoting the efficient use of land and as well as protecting the community appearance and character.
And that goes along also with safeguarding the integrity of the existing residential neighborhoods, preserving and enhancing the city's corridors, as well as encouraging corridor-oriented commercial development within specified areas.
And then from a resilience, protecting natural systems and restoring and recreating natural systems.
There are proffered conditions associated with this application.
They include the conceptual plan that we went over, vacating the parcel lines, incorporating the Copeland Industrial Park Design Guidelines into this proposal.
There's a condition regarding fencing material, landscape guidance, resilience and sustainable elements, lighting, dust control, limitation on uses, as well as the hours of operation.
There was a community meeting that was held in December, and there was a couple people that were in attendance concerned with the potential impact on the existing apartment community that is across Aberdeen Road, kind of diagonally, and their main issues were with the visual aspect of the proposed business as well as the potential for noise.
And coming out of that, the applicant increased their buffering offering through landscaping and fencing, as well as they added a additional proffer regarding the restriction of our the hours of operation that you see there.
Regular hours would be 4 30 a.m.
to 8 p.m.
Monday through Friday, and then they do the nature of their business does necessitate responding to emergency calls, which could happen at any time.
But again, that would not be routine business would not be happening other than within the actual regular hours.
So staff summary of this proposal is that we believe that it aligns with the city's policies.
This is Aberdeen Road is a business corridor with or uh with commercial and industrial development along it.
The this proposal actually would enhance uh the quality, the scenic quality of this business corridor by uh providing the landscape buffer along Aberdeen Road.
It uh helps support the expansion of an existing business, and there are safeguards in place to protect the residential community through opaque fencing, landscape buffers, and the restriction on the hours of operation.
The applicant is here, does have a short presentation, and after that uh in the public hearing, staff is recommending approval of rezoning number 26-0176 with 14 proffered conditions.
That concludes my presentation.
Be happy to answer any questions you have at me at this time.
Thank you, Mr.
Whipple.
Commissioners, do you have any questions for staff?
No, okay.
Okay, thank you, Mr.
Whipple.
And the applicant is here and wishes to present.
Good afternoon, Madam Chair, members of the commission.
My name is Tim Trant.
I'm an attorney with Kaufman and Canoll's office at 11815 Fountain Way in the city of Newport News.
It's my privilege to be here today on behalf of the applicant.
Prilleman's property management, which is the property owning entity that the Prillman family owns.
Prelimin Cranin rigging is the tenant and operator of the business located on the property.
With me also here today is Mr.
Paul Prilleman, owner and operator of that business.
So hopefully between the two of us, we can answer any questions that you might have.
Mr.
Perlman has been in business at this location since we believe around 2014, so almost 12 years now, and excited about the growth in his business and the need for expansion.
Mr.
Whipple gave you a great orientation to the proposal.
I just point out that they're here if we need to come back to them to address questions.
First off, why are we here?
I think Mr.
Whipple covered it, but very fortunate that the crane and rigging business that the Prolumens own and operate is really growing.
There's a high demand for their services throughout the region, and they need more room to store equipment and to house employees.
Just a little bit about site operations, so you all know there's very little crane and rigging that goes on on site, right?
Most of the crane and rigging operations happen off-site at construction projects and and whatnot throughout the uh the Hampton Roads area.
So what happens on site primarily is equipment storage, service and repair, and then basic office uses.
And just to explain uh the hours of operation, they seem kind of early and they run kind of late in the evening.
Um, there's very little activity in those early morning hours.
You know, there's very few people on site at 4 30 a.m.
or 8 p.m.
But um because of the nature of their equipment, it's fairly large equipment, they have special permits that they have to obtain to travel on public streets, and they they are often given associated with those permits, sort of travel windows that are before and after sort of peak commuting hours.
They're trying to keep the big pieces of equipment, wide loads and whatnot off the the interstate and the highways at peak commuting hours.
So what would typically happen is, you know, if a crane needs to be on a job site on a particular day, it would either be moved there at night, you know, at the 7 kind of to 8 p.m.
window after that peak commuting hour ends, they would move it in the evening.
Excuse me, uh, or that morning that somebody would arrive on site in the morning at 4 30 and and arrive, take it to the job site, or or bring it back as the case may be.
So that's the reason.
Most of the business activity happens during normal business hours during the day.
Uh and as uh we pointed out the response to emergencies, just to give you an example of that.
It is uh not common, but it does happen.
For example, you know, uh, and unfortunately, from time to time there are accidents on in the interstate and other highways, particularly when they happen on bridges where a crane may be needed to to extract a vehicle or to to uh remove a vehicle from an accident situation, and then of course, you know, in the in storm damage situations where there's you know, uh a tree on a home or something like that.
There can be cranes that have to be moved and uh to respond to those conditions and at uh emergency times.
Um the business, as I mentioned, utilizes some fairly expensive equipment.
It employs a highly uh skilled and compensated wage force, and in order to try to stay in place and expand in their current location, which they're very pleased with.
They purchased the four adjacent residential parcels that Mr.
Whipple identified and are looking to utilize that for expanded parking and storage area.
Um I also failed to mention another component of the crane and rigging business and some of the activity that occurs on the site is some training and education, as you might expect.
These are uh highly technical jobs that require some some level of expertise in operating cranes.
They don't send, you know, new green uh operators all off with these pieces of equipment.
So there is some training that happens on site, and that that's also a reason for for the need for expansion is to give them some room to conduct that training.
As uh Donald Whipple mentioned, we did host a community meeting.
Um the only attendees were representatives of the owners of the apartment community, sort of adjacent or kind of cornered to the site.
Um they were lovely, they had all uh good questions and very constructive feedback for us.
We work directly with them and their council to address all of their concerns.
I'm pleased to report that that we were able to accomplish uh through revisions to the proffers, addressing and the master plan, all of their concerns.
Uh, as Mr.
Whipple pointed out, you know, proposing a substantial fenced uh area, expansion of the fence, a landscape buffer in front of the fence, um, the removal of residential driveways that currently front on a busy corridor, and what we believe will create a more appropriate transition between and reduce some of the conflict, uh potential conflicts and land uses between residential and the adjacent industrial activity by expanding to Aberdeen Road, produce provides a growth uh opportunity for for a local business, and um as Mr.
Whipple has indicated, and I know as your package uh reflects, we've proposed an extensive number of proffered conditions which not only apply to the expanded area but to our current site as well, so that some restrictions on what can be done by right now, you know, the use of that of that already zoned M2 property is is uh further restricted by these proffers and through this rezoning, both in terms of uh the land uses and buffering and resiliency measures.
So, with that, I'll uh be quiet and answer any questions that you may have.
Thank you for your presentation.
Do we have questions for the applicant?
No.
Okay, thank you, sir.
Thank you, ma'am.
This is a public hearing, so I will open the hearing.
Is anyone signed up to speak?
Mr.
Trant was the only one signed up to speak.
Okay, in that case, we will close the public hearing.
And I'll call for a motion.
Madam Chair, I move to the planning commission recommend approval of rezoning application 26-0176 for light manufacturing at 2303 60th Street and 618 632, 634, 636, and 638 Aberdeen Road, subject to 14 proffered conditions as contained in the agenda packet.
Second, we have a motion and a second on the floor to approve rezoning application 26-0176.
Is there any additional discussion?
Any further questions?
Hearing none, Madam Clerk.
Will you please call for the vote?
Commissioner Samuels.
Aye.
Commissioner Griffith, Commissioner Brooks, Commissioner Coleman.
Aye.
Vice Chair Mudler.
Aye.
Commissioner DeProfio.
Chair Rogers.
Aye.
And the motion carries.
The next public hearing item is 26-0188.
This is an ordinance to amend and reenact the zoning ordinance of the city of Hampton, Virginia by amending Chapter 11 to reduce required minimum parking for single family detached two-family duplex or multifamily uses.
And to add language permitting administrative reductions and minimum requirements.
Here to present as city planner Quinn Heinrich.
Thank you, Kim.
Good evening or good afternoon, members of the planning commission.
Once again, my name's Quinn Heinrich, and tonight I'll be presenting the proposed zoning ordinance amendment 26-0188 for reducing parking requirements in certain residential developments in the city of Hampton.
The purpose of this amendment is to reduce parking requirements in designated areas around public transportation facilities as required by a recent House Bill number 888.
Also, as required by the House Bill, add provisions to permit administrative reductions in parking requirements outside of these designated areas around transit facilities.
And we will also be removing some existing language for transit parking credits.
So a summary of the House Bill 888 was passed in the 2026 legislative session, was signed by the governor.
It will take effect on July 1st, and it requires that within a half mile of a mass transit or public transportation facilities that all localities in Virginia reduce parking to no more than one half of one parking spaces per multifamily dwelling unit in these areas and one parking space per one family, two-family or townhouse unit within these areas.
Additionally, the bill requires localities to create a process to reduce off-street parking requirements for residential uses outside of that half mile radius of transit by at least 20%, and that must be done administratively.
So this is a table of our existing residential parking minimum parking requirements.
As you can see, single family detached currently requires a minimum of two spaces per housekeeping unit.
Accessory dwelling units, we generally don't require additional parking unless there's no on-street parking.
And then two-family or duplex units have two minimum of two spaces per unit as well.
Multifamily are parking requirements depend on the number of bedrooms.
For one bedroom units, we require a minimum of one space, two bedrooms, one and a half spaces, and three or more bedroom units, two spaces.
Additionally, in a multifamily complex, there will need to be guest parking at a ratio of one space per five dwelling units.
We'll also require one bicycle parking space for every 50 automobile spaces required.
So this what this amendment will do is add a new section underneath the parking table, which would be section 11-2.1, which outlines the required reductions in minimum parking.
It will define which designated areas of the city that this standard will apply to.
And in those areas, it outlines that parking minimums will be reduced to 0.5 spaces per for every multifamily unit in the designated areas, and one space for every one-family, two-family duplex or townhouse unit in the designated areas.
This is a map showing where this will apply at present.
We anticipate the only area that this will affect is the within a half mile of the Hampton Transit Center, which is shown by the red star on this map.
Areas within a half mile of that include the all of downtown Hampton, the business district there, all of Pasture Point, and some portions of old Hampton and Old Northampton.
This is the red line of what are in the amendment, which includes some definitions of designated area, public transportation and public transportation facility.
And then it outlines what the parking will be reduced to in those areas.
And it also states that any land use application that falls within that area must disclose that it's in the area and identify the public transportation facility, which lies within a half mile of the project site.
The second portion of this we will concern section 11-8 number three.
We will be striking the current language in that section, which concerns transit parking credits and transit-oriented developments.
Then we will add language on the procedure for administrative reductions.
In short, to request a reduction, the applic any applicant will need to submit a parking study and narrative statement to zoning staff.
And zoning staff will make a determination on whether or not they can receive a reduction based on any of the factors on this slide, which include impact on parking occupancy on site, proximity to public transportation, proximity to shared parking or on-street parking, the walkability of the surrounding area, any impacts to environmentally sensitive areas such as the Chesapeake Bay Preservation District, and if it's a mixed-use parcel, the nature of any non-residential uses that are also occupying the site.
This includes striking of the current language, and then the language that is replacing that will be off-street parking.
Uh sh outlines the what needs to be submitted, and then the criteria that zoning the zoning administrator or their designee can use to evaluate any administrative reductions.
And one other clause is that in no case may the zoning administrator grant this reduction to any development that has a minimum of five or fewer off-street parking spaces.
So to conclude this uh zoning ordinance amendment um it will comply, it complies with this state legislation, brings us um in accordance with the new law that has just been passed.
It provides additional flexibility for developers to reduce parking in certain cases, but in most of the city it will allow us to maintain a case-by-case analysis of these projects and be able to determine or yeah, and it also will promote walkability and transit oriented development in Hampton.
And therefore, after a public hearing, staff recommends approval of zoning ordinance amendment number 26-0188.
Thank you, and I'm available for any questions.
Thank you for your presentation, Mr.
Heinrich.
Commissioner Coleman.
I have a question regarding the short-term rentals.
Yeah, so I think the the way that we wrote it, it they would have to be required to have a minimum of five parking spaces.
So I don't think that that would necessarily apply to one single family home.
So I don't think that the reduction would necessarily apply to SDR uses.
And that's for the administrative process.
Could you clarify please what you mean by administrative areas?
So the administrative area, so the parking reductions that are outlined in the first portion of this amendment are only apply to designated areas in the city that are around transit centers or major transit facilities, which in the case of that we have right now is only the downtown transit center.
So anywhere else in the city that wants or that would do reductions in parking would be using the second portion of this bill, which is the administrative reductions.
So are the properties on settlers landing in that half mile?
Like near the corner of the Armistead and Settlers Landing, the older homes over there.
I believe that is within the half mile radius.
Any other questions?
Thank you for your presentation.
Well, this is a public hearing, so I'll open the hearing.
Is anyone signed up to speak?
No, there's nobody.
Then we'll close the public hearing and call for the motion.
Madam Chair, I move the planning commission recommend adoption of zoning ordinance amendment 26-0188 regarding minimum parking requirements as presented in the agenda packet.
Do we have a second?
Second.
Okay, we have a motion and a second on the floor to recommend adoption of zoning ordinance amendment 26-0188.
And commissioners, do we have any additional questions or discussion?
Yes, Commissioner Coleman.
Yeah, I was just still kind of playing in my brain with the short-term rental thing because I know we spend a lot of time on that.
And if there are minimum requirements, then I know they have like a lot.
One parking per two people or something like that.
So, it's still not clear to me whether they'll be able to say, well, if you're doing it over there, then we do it if they're within that radius.
And I know that was it near transit public transit right now.
We have the one that was uh shown on the slide, but um there may be others in the future, and um is public transit like cap stand, for example, that has that people can call for rides via medical or otherwise, those are not considered public transit because they are operated by private.
Uh Madam Chair, if if you like I can answer some of those questions to your last question.
Um, so the statute defines what the you know what the facilities are that we draw this radius around.
It does not include private services, private transportation services.
Um also I just checked the zoning ordinance and our use table, which characterizes short-term rentals as a commercial rather than residential use.
Um, so I don't believe this would apply to short-term rentals in that area.
Any other discussion or questions?
Madam Clerk, please call for the vote.
Commissioner Samuels, aye.
Commissioner Griffith?
All right, Commissioner Brooks, Commissioner Coleman, aye, Vice Chair Mugler.
Aye.
Commissioner DeProfio, Chair Rogers, aye.
And the motion carries.
The next public hearing item is 26-0193.
This is an ordinance to amend and reenact the zoning ordinance of the city of Hampton, Virginia by amending Chapter 4, Section 4-101 entitled intent and application of the district to amend the district's application and section 4-104 entitled lot area to reduce the required minimum lot area and the minimum frontage of a one-family residential R4 district.
Here to present is Chief Planner Donald Whipple.
Thank you, Madam Chair, members of the commission.
This is zoning ordinance zoning ordinance uh number 26-0193 to the one-family residential R4 district, um, and that is in chapter 4.
Specifically, modifications to section 4-104 to reduce the required minimum lot and the minimum frontage of the one-family residential R4 district.
Uh the purpose of this amendment is to comply with Virginia House Bill 1212, which states um that uh localities need to adopt and maintain uh a district that would permit a minimum lot size of 30 square feet as well as a minimum lot width uh of 30 feet, and that it needs to take place within an existing zoning district.
So the solutions uh that are before you today are to uh make these modifications within our one-family residential R4 district.
This is an existing zoning district, it is the smallest.
Uh it has the smallest lot area and lot frontage of all the residential districts, and the purpose of this district is as you might expect, because of the smaller lots and smaller frontage, it's intended for more dense and urban neighborhoods, uh, which is characteristic of the older uh neighborhood um neighborhoods that we have within the city.
Other one-family uh residential districts that are within the zoning ordinance have much larger lot areas and lot frontages, which would contrast uh too greatly, we believe, to the small lot size and small lot frontage requirements.
So this is the current uh ordinance language with respect to lot area uh and uh lot width.
Uh, right now it has it uh has a minimum of 4,000 square feet, 40 foot wide frontage and 5,000 square feet and 50 feet of frontage.
The recommendation uh is kind of you see here in the red line, just to point out the the highlights here in developments that are less than a total of 24,000 square feet of continuous land area.
Uh it you see the allowance there of three thousand uh square foot lots and 30 feet of frontage.
Uh we are still maintaining the existing uh lots of 4,000 square feet and 40 uh feet of frontage as well as the 5,000 square foot lots with 50 feet of frontage, and the second is in the case of uh continuous land area that is larger than 24,000 square feet.
Again, there's the minimum of uh 3,000 square feet with the 30-foot uh width, uh, but in that instance, these lots would need to be served by an alley.
Again, this is going back to this is maintaining this is existing language with respect to the alley that occurs within the R4 district, and again the reasoning there is we're looking at more urban dense uh neighborhood layouts.
So, staff analysis on this uh this proposed amendment would be complying with the new state mandated legislation.
Uh R4 district offers the greatest flexibility when it comes to developing smaller lots.
It is has the greatest compatibility with the development standards that are currently within this district, and it would be more compatible with the dense urban neighborhood character.
And as mentioned before, the other residential districts would be too dissimilar regarding the development standards.
And with that, this is a public hearing item after the public hearing.
Staff is uh requesting approval of zoning uh ordinance amendment number 26-0193.
That concludes my presentation.
Be happy to answer any questions you have at this time.
Thank you, Mr.
Whipple.
Questions for staff?
Mr.
Whipple, I I have a couple questions.
So this is um uh state legislation that's been passed that that localities are required to comply with yes.
Just for curiosity, the purpose of this on the state level is it is it to increase housing, is it to increase affordable housing?
I'm just curious as to why this why we have this.
Yeah, and I'll make an attempt of it and then I can defer to Corey to provide probably some greater insight.
I think it's to open uh widen the door, if you will, for those that have existing lots, you know, that may be less than what we currently uh require as far as minimum lot sizes, and then also just in even if it's not an existing lot to create a new lot, it's just the open and broaden the housing options that we currently offer out there.
I think that's essentially it.
Um it's it's tough to know the intent of the General Assembly given that they're you know all individual members, uh, but I believe it was generally to increase density in order to increase affordable housing.
So we may have some lots in these districts that right now aren't buildable because of the current requirements of 4,000 and 5,000 square feet.
Okay, and do we have any idea of like the numbers of vacant lots in R4 that might qualify for this?
I mean, is it substantial?
We don't.
Uh I would say it's probably very few.
Uh another reason for the R our recommendation for the R4 is that it is not like it was it's a relatively new district, it was created to forward the implementation strategies of the master plan strategic master plans, uh primarily in those areas of the older neighborhoods, such as downtown Phoebus, Buckrow and the Kikatan corridor.
Um so it's a new zoning district, and so uh we didn't have we don't have wide areas of R4, most of those have been recent rezonings to our four to facilitate specific projects within these older neighborhoods.
So there isn't a lot.
There is, I would say there's not much, if you will, of existing R4 zoning that's undeveloped.
Thank you.
Anything else?
Yes, Commissioner Griffith.
Mr.
Whipple, um question about the the 30 foot frontage consideration.
I imagine you still have to deal with setbacks no matter what so you probably I'm just guessing that your motivation or staff's motivation is probably not go much lower than that you know it's because there are 25 foot frontages in some of these lots right yeah yeah the setbacks are the other developmental standards within the district aren't being recommended to be changed the front and rear setbacks are 15 building setbacks 15 feet from the rear or from the the front property line and five from either side so that would so you could still do a 20 foot wide house which and if you've if you've been around here long enough you know that we're dealing with um some we're looking to do some changes with the in field housing and some of we do have a number of existing lots throughout the city that are less than 30 feet already that are 25 feet wide and that presents a challenge because if you take away the 10 feet for the five foot on either side now you've got if I'm doing my math correctly a 15 foot wide house which is really narrow.
Thanks for going into detail and I was curious about it.
Thank you.
Okay if we have no other questions for staff then I will open the public hearing is anyone signed up to speak no so we will close the public hearing and I'll ask for a motion I move that the planning commission recommend the adoption of the zoning ordinance amendment 26-0193 reducing minimum lot area requirements and the R4 district as presented in the agenda packet second we have a motion and a second on the floor for adoption of zoning ordinance amendment 26-0193 is there any discussion or additional questions by commissioners hearing none madam clerk please call for the vote commissioner samuels aye commissioner griffith aye commissioner brooks commissioner coleman aye vice chairmore aye commissioner deprofio chair rogers aye and that motion carries the next public hearing item is 26-0194 this is an ordinance to amend and reenact the zoning ordinance of the city of Hampton Virginia by amending chapter 14 article one sections 14-9 and 14-11 entitled violation and revocation of use permit to update procedures governing the revocation of use permits here to present is zoning administrator Melvion Folgeham good afternoon chair vice chair members of planning commission I am Mel VIFIM zoning administrator for community development the item before you today is zoning ordinance amendment number 26-0194 which proposes amendments related to the use refouling and use permit revocation process this amendment modifies section 14-11 to allow city council to consider the revocations of a use permit directly additionally it modifies 14-9 to apply to existing to an existing one year refining restriction only no excuse me it modifies section 14-9 to apply the existing one year refouling restriction not only to denied use permit applications but also to revoke use permits currently section 14-11 authorized city council to revoke a use permit for violations of permit conditions repeat code violations failure to comply with approved plans or the submission of falsified information or misleading information.
However, the ordinance remains requires that a revocation process follows the same procedure as approved approval for a use permit, including review and recommendation by planning commission before city council may take action.
The proposed amendment would allow for city council to consider a possible revocation directly.
All council notices and public hearing requirements would remain in place, including the requirement for a written public notice to the property owner at least 15 days before the public hearing.
Section 14-9 currently prohibits the filing of a substantially similar use permit on a substantially the same property for one year following denial by city council.
The ordinance amendment would extend that one that same one year period to situations where a use permit has been revoked.
Under the proposed language, the holder of that permit would not be permitted to seek a new use permit for substantially the same use on substantially the same land until one year has passed following the date of revocation.
Staff finds that these amendments improve administrative efficiency.
Additionally, the amendment as revocation to the action prohibiting immediate reapplication for a use permit for a term of one year.
This concludes staff's presentation following the public hearing.
Staff recommends approval of zoning ordinance amendment number 26-0194.
I'm available for any questions the board may have.
Thank you.
Thank you for your presentation, Ms.
Fuljam.
Are there any questions for staff?
Um I do have a question.
So if the permit is um revoked, the business is still able to operate operate under whatever is by right.
Is that correct?
Uh it would depend on the use.
Or is this like a commercial retail store?
Because ultimately, if it is revoked for the use, then they would have to go through that year period before they can reapply for that use permit or come back before the board for some type of approval.
Okay, so in some situations, it could cause a business to have to close completely for a year?
Yes, depending on what use, like for instance, restaurant three versus restaurant one under the current regulations, a restaurant one, if they were to receive a denial or say a revocation, they have the opportunity as underneath the current code to drop down to a lesser use, which would be a restaurant two underneath the current standards.
If this provision were to be approved, if a restaurant three were to be denied or revoked, receive some type of revocation for their particular use, they would not be allowed to drop down to a restaurant two to continue a similar use, they would have to drop down to a restaurant one where they will only be allowed to serve dining food, not do any type of entertainment or alcohol sales underneath that provision.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, I just want to further clarify.
So if a use permit is revoked, they wouldn't be able to apply for substantially the same use and apply for another use permit.
However, if a if the use is uh permitted by right, there wouldn't be nothing that would prevent them from operating that use by right, but it would just prevent them from coming back and obtaining the use permit for the substantially same use.
And I think in the next public hearing item you'll hear what we are recommending in terms of um requiring a delay once a restaurant to or use permit is revoked.
Essentially, the restaurant uses that'll make more sense in the next public hearing item.
Thank you.
Any other questions?
Okay, thank you, Ms.
Spoken.
Thank you, ma'am.
All right, I will open the public hearing.
Is anyone signed up to speak?
No, they're not.
Then I'll close the public hearing and ask for a motion.
Move approval of zoning ordinance.
ZOA.
Number 26-0194.
Second.
We have a motion second on the floor for zoning ordinance amendment 26-0194.
Any additional discussion or questions from commissioners?
Being none, please call for the vote.
Commissioner Samuels.
Aye.
Commissioner Griffith.
All right.
Commissioner Brooks.
Commissioner Coleman.
Aye.
Vice Chair Mugler.
Aye.
Commissioner DeProfio.
Chair Rogers.
Aye.
The motion carries.
The last public hearing item is 26-0195.
This is an ordinance to amend and reenact the zoning ordinance of the city of Hampton, Virginia by amending Chapter 3, Section 3-3 entitled Additional Standards on Uses.
Subsection 13 thereof to modify security and related standards and permit revocation procedures applicable to restaurant two establishments.
Here to present again as zoning administrator Melvieon Foldman.
Good afternoon again.
Today I'm presenting the proposed zoning ordinance related to restaurant two establishments.
The proposed amendment would address the operational impacts associated with certain late-night restaurant operations while maintaining the intent, intended character of restaurant two.
These proposed amendments are intended to modernize the restaurant two regulations and better address operational impacts associated with late-night entertainment activities.
The proposal focuses on establishments that combine alcohol service, live entertainment, and later hours of operation and larger occupacies.
Finally, the proposal addresses the gap in current in the current ordinance related to security, third-party promotions, and visibility standards.
Currently, restaurant two establishments with ABC license may operate between the hours of 5 a.m.
and midnight.
The ordinance also limits the live entertainment areas to 75 square feet and prohibits dance floors or similar opening gathering spaces.
Existing security requirements are relatively limited, and when live entertainment occurs, an attendant is required to monitor the ingress and egress points and parking areas.
Staff believes that these existing standards may not adequately address the operational impacts associated with higher intensity entertainment environments.
Establishments do not allow for the service of alcohol or live entertainment.
Restaurant two establishments may operate until 2 a.m.
when alcohol is not served.
When operating with ABC license, the hours of operation are limited to 5 a.m.
through 12 midnight.
Restaurant 2 establishments may offer, excuse me, also offer limited live entertainment and be subject to operational restrictions and approval through the zoning administrator permit and restaurant three establishment are reviewed through the use permit process and may operate outside of the limitations established for restaurant one and two establishments.
As a part of this review, staff evaluated how surrounding localities regulate similar establishments.
The comparison shows that while alcohol sales are commonly permitted, localities frequently impose standard and additional standard related to entertainment activities, late-night operations, and security measures.
Many localities also regulate third-party promotions either through their ordinance provisions or a permit condition.
This slide focuses on specifically on the security staffing practices used by surrounding localities.
While the standards vary, the common approach requires monitoring of ingress and egress points.
This would be the area that is utilized by patrons, along with additional exterior monitoring of parking areas and surrounding premises.
The proposed Hampton Standard were informed by the Hampton Police Department operational recommendations and prior use permit approvals.
In summary, surrounding localities commonly impose additional requirements when establishments include alcohol service, live entertainment, late night operations, and larger occupancies.
Staff also reviewed how localities address third party promotion activities.
Cities like Portsmouth prohibits third party promoters directly through the zoning ordinance, while Norfolk restricts them through a conditional use permit condition.
These approaches, along with the recent Hampton use permit conditions approved by City Council, informs staff recommendations to restrict third party promotion activities with the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendment would establish a clear condition for when security is required, distinguish between the incidental and intensive live entertainment types, and prohibit third party promotions.
Require window transparency during evening operation hours to support visibility and oversight.
This slide outlines four conditions that trigger the security requirement.
Those conditions are alcohol service, intensive live entertainment offered at any time, occupancy of 100 or greater, and operation beyond 11 p.m.
For example, if a restaurant establishment indicated through a zoning administrative permit, the process it may offer intensive live entertainment at any time, the establishment also serves alcohol and has an occupancy load of greater than 100 and also operates beyond 11 p.m.
The security requirement would apply at 11 p.m.
until 12 30 each day, regardless of whether live entertainment is occurring at a specific time.
This approach based excuse me, this approach bases the security requirement on the approved operating characteristics of the establishment rather than the live entertainment occurring at a particular time, basing enforcement solely on the live entertainment of basing enforcement solely on when live entertainment is occurring is historically been a difficult task to administer and can create uncertainty or in regards to the security card when to apply the security requirements.
This slide compares the existing and proposed definitions of live entertainment.
We will review the different categories of live entertainment introduced by this amendment in the next few slides.
The proposed revisions primarily clarify what constitutes live entertainment, establish a clear distinction between the various types of live entertainment.
This slide introduces the distinct.
I'm sorry.
This slide introduces the distinction between the incidental and intensive life entertainment.
Incidental live entertainment is intended to cover a lower intensity performance such as solo artists, live comedy, trivia, or spoken word performances.
Intensive live entertainment includes performances such as multiple performers, karaoke, DJing, or entertainment formats incorporating pre-recorded material in conjunction with live entertainment activities.
This distinction is important because the proposed security requirement would apply specifically to the intensive live life entertainment operations.
This amendment also proposes a definition and prohibition related to third-party promotions activity.
The definition is intended to address the arrangements where outside promoters receive compensation tied to attendance, event revenue, and temporary operational controls of an establishment.
Staff concerns is that these arrangements may create an operational environment that differs significantly from the approved restaurant use and may increase crowd management and a public safety concern.
When all four operations operational thresholds are met, security standards would apply.
The proposed requirement for one Department of Criminal Justice Service certified officer per 100 occupants to monitor the interior and exterior of the building and points of egress and I'm gonna read that again.
One Department of Criminal Justice Services certified officer to uh one hundred occupants monitoring the in the exterior and ingress and egress points and two Department of Criminal Justice Services certified officers monitoring parking areas and exterior premises.
These requirements would apply at 11 p.m.
until 30 minutes after closing.
In addition to personnel requirements, the proposal including camera and identification measures, the amendment would require exterior security cameras connected to the Hampton Police Department, real-time information center.
Businesses will be responsible for obtaining and installing compatible equipment necessary for connection, and the proposal would also require an ID scanner starting at 8 p.m.
to verify a patron's age and keep a record of retention for a period of seven days.
The major measures are extended, intended to support enforcement and improve incident response capabilities and enhance public safety oversight.
To summarize, staff recommends that the security measures apply only when all four characteristics are present, such as alcohol service, approval of the intense live entertainment, operation beyond 11 p.m.
and the occupancy exceeding 100 persons.
When all four conditions are present, the security requirements will apply nightly from 11 p.m.
until 1230, regardless of whether the intensive live entertainment is occurring at a specific site.
Staff is also recommending restrictions on third-party promotions, evening window transparency requirements, and a pre-permit compliance meeting for establishments seeking approval for the intensive life entertainment.
This slide highlights additional administrative refinements.
The revised floor plan requirement would provide greater details of the operational layout of the establishment, including identifying the points of ingress, egress, the dining area, bar area, event spaces, and performance areas.
The intent is to improve clarity during the permit review and ensure the approval of operational layouts remain consistent over time.
Madam Chair, if I may jump in just briefly.
Excuse me, it's uh 17.
As we discussed, this is the language that does not appear in the red line you received, but we do recommend for approval today, and I have provided language for you to recommend approval of this as amended.
Um I didn't realize that both parts of the language are on uh slide 17.
Um, so we'll refer to the first and second bullet on slide 17.
I apologize for the uh, of course, if there's trouble in any trouble in stating the motion, I'll be happy to help.
Sorry.
Thank you, sir.
Staff is also opposed proposing an additional eligibility standard related related to prior permit revocations.
Under the proposed language, when a restaurant three use permit has been revoked, that business would not be eligible to obtain either a new restaurant three use permit or a restaurant to zoning administrator permit at the same location for a period of one year following revocation.
This provision is intended to maintain consistency between enforcement action and future operational approvals, this concludes staff's presentation following the public hearing.
Staff recommends approval of zoning ordinance amendment 26-0195.
Um available for any questions the board may have.
Thank you.
Thank you for your presentation, Ms.
Folgium.
Questions for staff.
Yes, Commissioner Muggler.
Hi, I have one question for staff with regard to the definition of um live performance.
We talk about um artistic presentation, theatrical presentations, DJs, etc.
Does not specifically address dancing, and um I understand that may be interpreted as an artistic um presentation, but I think for um more clarity and transparency that that should be included, if in fact that is one of the included entertainment allowed.
Madam Chair, if I may ask a question, uh Commissioner Mugler, are you referring to uh dancers as performers or patrons of an establishment dancing?
Performer.
Okay, um, I do think dancing is fairly included in that definition, um, but if we'd like to add language to that, I can help you state that as well.
Any other discussion or comments?
No.
Thank you, Ms.
Folchum.
Thank you.
We'll open the public hearing on this item.
Is anyone signed up to speak?
No, there are not.
All right.
Then we will close the public hearing and ask for the motion.
Madam Chair.
Uh I move that the planning commission recommend adoption of the zoning or amendment 26-01.
Amending permit requirements and other standards applicable to restaurant two as presented in the agenda, subject to the following amendment.
Strike proposed subsection 3-3 13-81A at lines 109 to 10 strike unarmed from subsection 3-3 13H2 at line 20.
Insert subsection 3-3 13K to read as presented in the second bullet, slide 16, staff presentation, and amend subsection 3-3 13D to read as presented in slide 17 of staff presentation, and then with respect to my with recent uh comment, I would add the amendment to add the language in definition.
For live entertainment to conclude the word dancing.
Madam Chair, uh, before there is a second, I just wanted because the pagination and the in the PowerPoint has changed since I prepared this, um, the new three thirteen is three three thirteen K is the first bullet on slide seventeen.
I apologize for the confusion.
Do we have a second on the motion?
We have a motion and second on recommending adoption of zoning ordinance amendment twenty six dash one zero one five.
Commissioner Samuels.
Aye.
Commissioner Griffith.
All right.
Commissioner Brooks.
Commissioner Coleman?
I Vice Chair Mugler.
Commissioner De Profio.
Chair Rogers.
Aye.
And that motion carries.
No, I don't believe so.
All right.
In that case, are there matters by the Commission?
With no matters by the Commission, this meeting is adjourned.
Mm.
