Council approves Canopy Development's 255-unit use permit in Coliseum Central
Summary
Hampton approved a use permit for Canopy Development to build 255 multifamily units at 1044 Von Schilling Drive, including resilience features, EV charging, onsite amenities and 375 parking spaces; one public commenter raised affordability and service-capacity concerns.
Hampton City Council approved the use permit (20-21) for Canopy Development's 255-unit multifamily proposal at 1044 Von Schilling Drive in the Coliseum Central overlay. Planner Quinn Heinrich described a three-building plan with 38 studios, 110 one-bedroom units, 99 two-bedroom units and eight three-bedroom units, plus shared amenities including a clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center, a dog park and bicycle parking.
Staff recommended approval with 21 conditions, citing compliance with the Colosseum Central Master Plan and the Hampton Community Plan. Applicant Hal Yule said the project repurposes a vacant site formerly occupied by the Cinema Cafe and aims to create a high-quality, pedestrian-oriented development. One public speaker raised concerns that the units labeled "affordable" may be out of reach for entry-level local workers and asked whether council had assessed additional demand on police, fire and schools. Council voted to approve the use permit as presented.
The approval includes conditions for resiliency, screening, site management and security cameras; next steps include site-plan submission and condition compliance checks before permits are issued.
