The Suffolk Planning Commission on Tuesday tabled votes on two requests for the same piece of property in Harbour View.

Both public hearings were deferred 60 days until the May 15 meeting. The property is located at the northeast corner of Harbour View Boulevard and Hampton Roads Parkway. The 38-acre parcel is currently undeveloped and covered by forest and isolated wetlands.

One request would rezone the parcel from Office-Institutional to Residential Urban-24 and General Commercial zoning. This would allow for proposed multi-family apartments. The second request is for a conditional use permit to allow for a mini-warehouse to provide climate-controlled storage.

City planning staff had recommended denial of both applications.

On March 14, the Saunders & Ojeda law firm filed a letter requesting the commission to table both applications. The decision came “as a result of discussion with area community associations,” the letter read. “The applicants wish to revise their current application and revise the studies submitted to the Department of Planning.”

The applicant, Harbour View Partners, was having discussions with both Harbourview Homeowners Association and Harbourview Commerce Association.

“There are two community associations — one commercial and one residential,” Whitney Saunders said. “We are in discussion with both of them and trying to do something that will be approved and beneficial in the eyes of both associations.”

In the packet supplied to the Planning Commission, the Harbour View HOA attached a letter of support from November 2017 for the development plans.

“This committee represents the larger community and has carefully vetted the usual concerns we all have,” the letter stated.

Neither community association responded to inquiries for comment.

The applications included proffers to make a cash contribution for school construction, construct turn lanes for access to the project and add a traffic signal if necessary.

City staff believed rezoning was inconsistent with the 2035 Comprehensive Plan, citing lower-than-recommended density, layout inconsistent with pedestrian-oriented designs and zoning that is not consistent with mixed-use core guidelines.

The applicants will return in 60 days to request rezoning and a conditional use permit.

“That is certainly the plan. We don’t know with certainty how discussions will go,” Saunders said. “Our purpose is to try and come to a decision about uses that will be acceptable and approved by both associations.”
