Council approves rezoning and three use permits for mixed‑use project at 3200 Neil Armstrong Parkway

The Hampton City Council voted to approve a rezoning and three use permits for redevelopment of the property at 3200 Neil Armstrong Parkway, moving the site from General Commercial (C‑3) to the Langley Business Park (LBP) district and allowing a mixed‑use plan that includes retail and a multi‑story storage facility. Chief planner Donald Whipple told the council staff and the planning commission recommended approval with conditions.

Whipple described the plan as a two‑parcel redevelopment that would renovate an existing building on “site A” and construct a new three‑story building on “site B” to house a storage facility with first‑floor coworking and retail. He said landscaping, screening, proffered square‑footage limits for storage, and restrictions on outdoor storage and allowed retail types are among the conditions that staff recommended. “Staff and planning commission are recommending approval of the rezoning,” Whipple said during his presentation.

Council members asked technical questions about access at the Neil Armstrong and Floyd Thompson intersection and design standards; staff confirmed an existing traffic signal and proffered design standards. Each measure — rezoning 24‑0526 (with 10 proffer conditions) and the three use permits (24‑0527, 24‑0528, 24‑0529) with their listed conditions — was moved, seconded and approved by roll call. The clerk recorded unanimous “Aye” votes from the council.
