Hampton council approves rezoning at 1263 West Queen Street for three single-family lots
Summary
The council voted unanimously to rezone a 0.96-acre property at 1263 West Queen Street from mixed industrial/residential to one-family residential (R‑11) to allow a three‑lot subdivision with two new single‑family homes and retention of the existing house.
Hampton City Council on Wednesday approved rezoning application 25‑0101 to reclassify about 0.96 acres at 1263 West Queen Street from R‑11 and M‑2 to R‑11 with conditions, allowing a three‑lot single‑family subdivision.
City planning chief Donald Whipple told the council the proposal would retain the existing house that fronts West Queen Street and divide the rest of the parcel into two new lots for single‑family homes. The proposed new houses are described in the application as roughly 2,450 square feet with four bedrooms and three bathrooms; the developer proffered EV‑charging outlets and connections for emergency generators and included landscaping and design standards to match the surrounding neighborhood.
Whipple said the parcel lies adjacent to the Hampshire Glen neighborhood and that staff considered the change an adaptive reuse of an underutilized M‑2 parcel to a low‑density residential use consistent with the future land use map and the city’s community plan. Staff recommended approval subject to 12 proffered conditions included in the agenda packet.
There were no public speakers signed up for the item. After the public hearing closed, a council member moved approval of rezoning application 25‑0101 subject to the proffered conditions; the motion passed on a roll call vote in which Councilman Bowman, Vice Mayor Brown, Councilwoman Carolyn Campbell, Councilwoman Ferebee, Councilwoman Harper, Councilwoman Mugler and Mayor Gray recorded “Aye.”
The proffered conditions require following the subdivision review and compliance with the city’s subdivision ordinance and include the concept plan and building elevations described in staff materials.
The applicant did not present additional materials at the meeting but was available to answer council questions, Whipple said.
