Modification of development plan approved in Hampton

The Hampton City Council voted at its March 10 regular meeting to approve an ordinance granting a requested modification of a master development plan for roughly 65 acres south of Hwy. 20 between West King Road and South Hampton Road. The site is zoned PD (planned development) and the request was to change a general commercial pod within the plan to a combination of multi-family residential and general commercial development.

The vote to approve was 4-1 with Errol Mitchell voting in opposition.

A first reading of the ordinance had been approved with conditions at the council’s February meeting.
