Burton Station

Page Content
 
The plan for the Burton Station/Northampton Boulevard Corridor Strategic Growth Area Implementation Plan was adopted by the City Council on January 27, 2009.

The area is predominantly industrial but also has significant tracts devoted to residential and commercial uses. It also has a considerable amount of undeveloped land but lacks a good network of internal streets.The study area is located at the convergence of major highway, rail and airport facilities.
 
 
The Strategic Growth Plan achieves a land use and design strategy that respects the heritage of Burton Station’s African-American community and provides guidance on how this and the rest of the study area should evolve in a complementary fashion.

The Burton Station area also benefits from nearby deep water ports and a major military installation. The ultimate pattern of development envisions a revitalized Burton Station neighborhood that reflects its historic roots and is an integral part of a larger planned residential community with open space and employment opportunities.
 
 
The key recommendations of the Burton Station Plan are:
  •  

       

      • Respect and retain the existing houses in the neighborhood along Burton Station Road and maintain the low density character of this neighborhood.
      • Provide infrastructure including roads, utilities, and stormwater facilities needed to support existing residential and planned land uses within this SGA.
      • Work with the City of Norfolk to achieve a mutually beneficial exchange of land.
      • Implement the arrangement of land uses as outlined in the SGA plan to achieve an attractive, coherent, and marketable destination.
      • Improve the design and function of Northampton Boulevard to improve pedestrian and transit access, and create a high quality first impression for this area.
      • Provide significant areas devoted to recreational and open space amenities.
      • Leverage the economic growth potential of this area that is provided, in part, by the presence of multimodal transportation systems.
