The purpose of this article is to improve the unique and architectural value and character
of the Lee Hall area of the City of Newport News contiguous to major corridors, as
defined herein, and to provide for and promote its orderly development and redevelopment
by creating an overlay district. The overlay district recognizes the significant routes
of tourist access of the major corridors, which serve as the gateways to the Lee Hall
area and its historic destinations.
This overlay district is also intended to encourage appropriate renovations to existing
mixed-use, commercial and industrial structures and compatible new construction by
promoting the use of building forms, materials and site design that will improve the
architectural and visual character of these major corridors, and to encourage a diversity
of architectural style that is compatible with the character of the area's historic
resources.
