| one_two_family_residential | Mostly lot-size-encoded in thousands of sf — BUT with four legacy mismatches: R-13 is 12,000 sf, R-11 is 9,000 sf, R-9 is 6,000 sf, R-8 is 6,000 sf (NOT 13k/11k/9k/8k). R-33/R-22/R-15 match their names. R-LL=2.5 acres. R-43=1 acre (43,560 sf). R-R='Rural' at 6,000 sf. R-4='alley/infill' at 4,000 sf/40-ft frontage. |
|---|---|
| multifamily_residential | MD-1..MD-4 = multifamily density tiers (MD-1=10 du/ac, MD-2=16 du/ac, MD-3=20 du/ac, MD-4=setback/parking-driven, no minimum lot). R-M = legacy Multiple Residential (51 ft/3 stories). |

1960-ordained code formally recodified June 1, 2015 under Va. Code §15.2-1433. §1-3 defaults annexed territory to R-13; §1-5 defaults unclassified-on-map land (including sub-marginal, water, federally/state-owned) to R-13. Legacy-index naming in low-intensity residential districts is the most significant quirk. | sub_flags_raw=[legacy-1960-recodified-2015, military-base-adjacent, coastal-tidewater] ; narrative_ref=narratives/hampton-va/7b2f1a44-hampton-20260418.json
Worth knowing
- Legacy-index residential district names. R-13 = 12,000 sf (not 13k), R-11 = 9,000 sf (not 11k), R-9 = 6,000 sf (not 9k), R-8 = 6,000 sf (one/two-family; 4,000 sf per duplex unit). R-33/R-22/R-15 DO match their names. R-LL = 2.5 acres. R-43 = 1 acre (43,560 sf — matching name). The mismatch reflects 1960 legacy codification; 2015 recodification preserved it. — [§4-63 (R-13); §4-73 (R-11); §4-83 (R-9); §4-93 (R-8)]
- Default-district rule: annexed territory (§1-3) AND map-unclassified land including 'sub-marginal land, water areas, and federally-owned and state-owned land' (§1-5) are auto-R-13 pending city council action. Explicit floor district — unusual among VA cities. — [§1-3; §1-5]
- O-IH (Infill Housing) Overlay imposes LOWER max height (25 ft / 2 stories) than base districts (35 ft). Trade-off: dimensional flexibility for substandard lots, capped by compatibility height. — [§9-43(1)]

Quirks & notes
- Legacy-index residential district names. R-13 = 12,000 sf (not 13k), R-11 = 9,000 sf (not 11k), R-9 = 6,000 sf (not 9k), R-8 = 6,000 sf (one/two-family; 4,000 sf per duplex unit). R-33/R-22/R-15 DO match their names. R-LL = 2.5 acres. R-43 = 1 acre (43,560 sf — matching name). The mismatch reflects 1960 legacy codification; 2015 recodification preserved it. — [§4-63 (R-13); §4-73 (R-11); §4-83 (R-9); §4-93 (R-8)]
- Default-district rule: annexed territory (§1-3) AND map-unclassified land including 'sub-marginal land, water areas, and federally-owned and state-owned land' (§1-5) are auto-R-13 pending city council action. Explicit floor district — unusual among VA cities. — [§1-3; §1-5]
- O-IH (Infill Housing) Overlay imposes LOWER max height (25 ft / 2 stories) than base districts (35 ft). Trade-off: dimensional flexibility for substandard lots, capped by compatibility height. — [§9-43(1)]
- DT-3 height measured from base point raised to 8.5 ft above MSL (not grade). Coastal-resilience provision: elevated buildings retain full entitlement despite base flood elevation adjustments. — [§8-44(3)(a)]
- Over-water structures in DT-2/DT-3 (Hampton River / Salters Creek) capped at 35 ft / 2 stories regardless of base district cap, measured from mean-high-water grade extension. — [§8-43; §8-44(3)(b)]
- R-4 is a plan-activated district — per §4-101 applies only to (a) contiguous lots ≥24,000 sf consistent with comp plan, OR (b) adopted master/small-area/neighborhood plan areas governed by a pattern book. — [§4-101]
- Langley Flight Approach (LFA-1 through LFA-6) are BASE districts — NOT overlays. A parcel in the Langley flight path can carry an LFA base classification AND sit in O-AICUZ contours, triggering both regimes concurrently. — [Ch. 8 Art. 1 §§8-1 through 8-7; Ch. 9 Art. 1 §§9-1 through 9-10]
- HRC and O-CC design review. HRC-1/2/3 (§§8-32 through 8-34) mandate Hampton Roads Center Architectural Review Board approval; O-CC (§§9-21 et seq.) mandates Coliseum Central Design Review Committee (CCDRC) approval. Design review is additive to Planning Commission review. — [§8-33(2)(a); §9-21 et seq.]
- Bifurcated Municode publication. The Zoning Ordinance (library.municode.com/va/hampton/codes/zoning) is published SEPARATELY from the general Code of Ordinances (/codes/code_of_ordinances). Zoning Ord. cross-references to 'Ch. 22 Art. III' (airport noise sound attenuation) and 'Ch. 35.1' (site plans) point to the general Code, not Zoning. — [§9-1(1)(b); §1-8]
- 1960 ordainment preserved via 2015 formal recodification under Va. Code §15.2-1433. Legacy lot-grandfathering retained (e.g., ≤40-ft-wide lots of record prior to Jan 27, 1960 may use 5-ft side yards each). — [§1-01; §4-6(2) et al.]
- C-1/C-2 residential (townhouse/multifamily) density caps are EMBEDDED in commercial districts — C-1 = 10 du/ac, C-2 = 20 du/ac, both at 20,000 sf min lot. Mixed-use is dimensional-driven, not form-based. — [§§6-4(3)(5); 6-13(3)(5)]
- Buckroe Bayfront (BB-1 through BB-5) is a coastal 5-district ladder from single-family to optional/required mixed-use. Unusual granularity for a small coastal neighborhood sub-area; reflects distinct Buckroe Neighborhood Plan (1995, adopted Jan 1995 per §8-53(4)(a)) and PO-2 Buckroe Beachfront as publicly-held assemblage. — [Ch. 8 Art. 3 §§8-21 through 8-26; §8-53]
Formulas
Definitions
- height
- Grade to highest point of structure (Ch. 2). DT-3 base point may be raised to 8.5 ft above MSL (§8-44(3)(a)). Over-water DT structures measured from mean high water extension.
- lot_coverage
- Building footprint / lot area; principal + accessory (Ch. 2).
- far
- Not primary metric in Hampton code; density controlled by min lot size and du/ac caps.
- du_ac
- §2-__ distinguishes gross density (du/gross acre) from net density (du/buildable acre). MD-1/2/3 density caps are BUILDABLE acre.
- setback_front
- Front property line to nearest building face. R-LL/R-43/R-33/R-22/R-15/R-13/R-11/R-9: pre-ordinance lots use block-average-front-yard rule (avg of block, minimum 20 ft, capped at 60 ft).
- setback_side
- Most one/two-family districts use a % formula: sum of two side yards ≥25% of lot width, no individual <10%. Lots ≤40 ft and of record prior to Jan 27, 1960 may use 5 ft each.
- setback_rear
- Base 20 ft; increased by 1/3 of lot depth over 75 ft, capped at 35 ft max.
