Two agenda items at the Hampton City Council’s June 8 regular meeting regarding the same potential development were postponed. The action came at the request of the developer, who was seeking R-4 zoning for a nine-acre site at 16 Derrick Avenue, just off Elm Street and east of downtown, along with a change in the future land use map to allow medium-density residential use.

The council recommended in March to deny both requests, at which time the developer sought to delay until this month to review the property’s sewer connection. A planned development rezoning was recommended by city officials with 19 conditions. Information: hamptonga.gov.
