April 23, 2026 Norfolk Planning Commission Public Hearing

The April 23, 2026 public hearing of the Norfolk Planning Commission focused on multiple conditional use permits and zoning amendments related to commercial and residential development projects. Key procurement-related discussions included approval recommendations for Hogan's Pizza to expand with a commercial recreation center, Stanley Holmes LLC's rezoning and conditional use permit for a 68-unit multifamily townhouse development with phased construction and community amenities, and Burger King's site improvements including a second drive-thru lane and extended hours with negotiated timelines for construction and off-site improvements. The Commission also considered conditional use permits for restaurants with extended hours and live entertainment, outdoor advertising sign conversion to LED displays, and several short-term rental unit permits. Notably, the Commission addressed concerns about short-term rental compliance and neighborhood impacts, recommending approval for some permits while denying others due to violations. Additionally, the Commission recommended approval of a street vacation to support a floodwall and coastal storm risk management project. Several motions were passed recommending approval of permits and zoning changes to City Council, with conditions and timelines discussed for construction and operational compliance.
