City planner Saul Garcia presented the Blue Chip Realty Corporation application and said the parcel has been zoned R-4 (single-family dwelling) since the 1997 comprehensive rezoning. Garcia described the proposal as a two-story house with a covered front porch, brick-first-floor facade and an attached one-car garage recessed from the front of the structure; staff recommended approval with 10 conditions, including submission of elevations and exterior materials to the Department of Planning for director review prior to building permit issuance.

During the public hearing two speakers raised concerns about address confusion between the proposed new dwelling parcel and an adjacent apartment property. Irvin Goldstein, who said he represents the adjacent Newmarket Apartments owner, described ongoing problems serving eviction paperwork and deliveries because the apartment building and related parcels had been referenced inconsistently as 602 and 604 Fourth Street in prior records. Goldstein said the confusion has created operational problems for the apartment owner and could affect emergency response.

Property manager and owner Bailey Wang appeared and said mail, deliveries and service attempts had been disrupted by the inconsistent addressing.

Saul Garcia responded that planning staff had worked with the assessor's office and GIS to resolve the discrepancy. \"We readdressed the one that was 602 to 604,\" Garcia said, adding that the assessor's parcel ID did not change but that the physical address in the city GIS now shows 604. Garcia told the commission that police, fire and the sheriff's department had been notified and were \"thankful of that,\" and that staff considered the addressing discrepancy fixed in city records, though those speaking from the apartment ownership said they wished to confirm the change in their records.

After hearing public comments the commission closed the public hearing and voted 7-0 to recommend approval to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Garcia said the BZA will consider the case in March 2025.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Newport News - Planning Commission Meeting - Mar 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission recommended approval, 7-0, of Special Exception SE2025-0003 for a two-story house at 60470 Fourth Street.

City planner Saul Garcia presented the application for a parcel cited in the staff report as located at \"114920 Fourth Street.\" Garcia said the lot is less than 50 feet wide (37.5 feet was cited as the comparable width in staff presentations), and that the zoning ordinance permits the Board of Zoning Appeals to approve a special exception for a single-family residence on such nonconforming lots provided certain design and setback criteria are met (Section 45-3204, per staff).

Garcia said staff's proposal included a two-story house with a covered front porch, a first-floor brick veneer, and an attached one-car garage recessed 18 feet from the front facade. He reported a proposed front-yard setback of about 11.1 feet to the covered porch and side-yard setbacks of about 5.11 feet. As with other cases, staff recommended conditions that require submission of elevations and exterior material samples to the Department of Planning for review and director approval prior to building permit issuance.

The owner-builder, identified in the record as Mr. Riddick, attended the meeting and answered a commissioner question about floor plans and elevations; commissioners noted the submitted elevations did not appear to exactly match the floor plans, and Garcia said staff would rely on the floor plans for review but that elevations and materials must be submitted and approved before permits issue. After closing the public hearing, the commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval. Garcia said the matter will be scheduled before the Board of Zoning Appeals in March 2025.","The Planning Commission recommended approval, 7-0, of Special Exception SE2025-0002 to allow a two-story single-family dwelling on a nonconforming lot on Fourth Street; the owner-builder attended and staff said final elevations will be reviewed by the director prior to permit issuance.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6650602,"Commission recommends special exception for two-story house at 2810 Roanoke Avenue",390,1062000,1452000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2505996-65291ba9cf95ad7b37f490175ab46b9b&start=1062&end=1452","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2505996-65291ba9cf95ad7b37f490175ab46b9b/thumbnail_1062000.jpg","/articles/6650602/Virginia/Commission-recommends-special-exception-for-two-story-house-at-2810-Roanoke-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6650602-fd31455f3f1d30bfe9c55bfbe772fd5c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771106011&Signature=f-afKV2SSZ-DwtuReWPD20H5uKZnGp6b~GJU-gMAgZ4NsY8KulDsZOGO9bsbCusF2H-2VgCkCl07Lag7kHxYQZcHeeIrDus8EhQuV0Sie2NuaWQNF9pjYg06TtFe6Vkck4wNuAPDqhq4uIuZgzcJQV9WBCm8UrqGz231Ul0fGEm2QkI1CcPlpSTS2S5c1CuXgHny1M1dZnRSVoBY1Bek156AyRxfAQzvx4lKUhgnjliITVyfTrWKe9UXZlOWfhJjkTT8khsrccLSXLduFDWfhmnZAOrJiRjNfaAX6WwptOGO13Aza60e7mNOhqWYt9FZGPDQREWA7HAIYD6rV0dZjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newport News Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of Special Exception SE2025-0001, allowing construction of a two-story single-family detached residence on a nonconforming lot at 2810 Roanoke Avenue.

City planner Saul Garcia presented the application by NCR Homes and Construction LLC. Garcia said the subject parcel is approximately 0.086 acres with less than 50 feet of frontage and is zoned R-4 (single-family dwelling). He cited Section 45-3204 of the zoning ordinance, which allows the Board of Zoning Appeals to grant a special exception for a single-family dwelling on a nonconforming lot provided specified design and setback criteria are met.

Garcia said the proposed two-story residence will include a covered front porch and an attached one-car garage recessed 18 feet from the front facade. Staff reported a front-yard setback of about 13.4 feet to the covered porch, side-yard setbacks of about 5.1 feet, and a requirement that the first-floor front facade and base of the structure have brick veneer; front steps are to be brick. Staff recommended approval with 10 conditions, including submission of building plans and elevations to the Department of Planning for director review prior to a building permit.

The applicant was present but did not speak. The commission opened and closed the public hearing with no members of the public speaking on the item. Chairperson Taylor called for a motion and commissioners voted 7-0 in favor of the recommendation. Garcia said the matter will be considered by the Board of Zoning Appeals in March 2025.","The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of Special Exception SE2025-0001 to allow construction of a two-story single-family detached dwelling on a nonconforming lot at 2810 Roanoke Avenue; the item will go to the Board of Zoning Appeals in March 2025.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6650607,"Planning commission backs conditional use permit for child care center at 617 Randolph Road",803,190000,993000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2505996-65291ba9cf95ad7b37f490175ab46b9b&start=190&end=993","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2505996-65291ba9cf95ad7b37f490175ab46b9b/thumbnail_190000.jpg","/articles/6650607/Virginia/Planning-commission-backs-conditional-use-permit-for-child-care-center-at-617-Randolph-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6650607-7e9a9fc8aef1908058ef2471d50fe121/orig.mp4?Expires=1771106011&Signature=Hio12m9TgGPzFd7UlMuT6Lo9~e~M27gYphxJF40lRju-K1t-ltE6vone0TV1i3LLVjFB-leyOCylu1stdavnpD9k8~BH257TGCwaKrwEL1kw5aZFexbBjSirbTTmRvlpPwZtgDTRvlQFmwVI-W6bZjJCjxHiQ8M72s-uGKoKSIbvJDlvsTA5pMUiboLi4AK1uz5I1EuP63R2hpjdR7pWb4JJ1r5r-bharCgJwRygx01uPNS21xU~n~4HGVGg~KEpXlhDT3I61LU8x1pHcQfRGQ8ofqN-aRePoqTFI1qmxFYtC4GpNEbvNrdni8sat8EUu5gQ84b8tJruEADlpRUCxA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newport News Planning Commission on a unanimous 7-0 vote recommended approval of Conditional Use Permit CU20250001 to allow a child care center at 617 Randolph Road.

City planner Saul Garcia told the commission the applicant proposes to convert an existing building originally used as a church into a licensed child care center. Garcia said the property contains 0.91 acres and is zoned R-4 (single-family dwelling), and that Section 405-402 of the city's zoning ordinance permits a child care center in R-4 with a conditional use permit. He said the Virginia Department of Education must issue a license before the center may open.

Garcia said the preliminary plans indicate the structure could serve up to 68 children ranging from 6 weeks to 5 years old, with before- and after-school programs and summer services for 6- to 12-year-olds. Operating hours would be 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday (holidays excluded). \"The total number of children permitted in the program shall not exceed 68 children,\" Garcia said. Staff reported the center would operate with 10 full-time and three part-time staff and that an outdoor play area of at least 4,125 square feet would be required within a roughly 9,000-square-foot open space at the rear of the property.

Garcia summarized staff's recommendation that the commission approve the permit with 13 conditions, including maintaining state licensing in good standing, operating within the approved floor plan, submission and approval of building plans that meet city and state codes before licensing, and review of any signage by the planning director.

Commission members asked questions about signage, illumination, landscaping and whether the applicant would alter the building footprint. Garcia said no change to the footprint was proposed and that any sign would require director review; he also confirmed required access and circulation plans for drop-off and pick-up and a secure path between the building and the play area.

Chairperson Taylor called for the motion to accept staff's recommendation; the motion passed unanimously. Garcia said the item will be heard by City Council in March 2025.","The Newport News Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend a conditional use permit allowing a former church at 617 Randolph Road to be converted to a child care center serving up to 68 children; the item will go to City Council in March 2025.","actionData","errors"]
