The Hampton City Council voted at its Feb. 11 regular meeting to approve the first reading of an ordinance allowing a conditional use permit for a 4.83-acre piece of property at the southeast corner of South Hampton Road and Hampton Locust Grove Road.

The site is zoned RA (residential-agricultural) and the request is for a church. The vote to approve with conditions was unanimous. In an unrelated action, the council approved the modification of a master development plan for 65 acres located south of Hwy. 20 between West King Road and South Hampton Road, adding a general commercial pod to the site which already had commercial and multi-family residential uses.
