WILLIAMSBURG – After months of fine-tuning a plan, the Williamsburg City Council appears poised to approve an ordinance at its meeting on December 8 that will allow up to three hotel/motel owners to convert their properties to as many as 250 apartments for income-eligible tenants.

Property owners would have to apply for special use permits to adapt hotel or motel rooms into permanent living quarters. Seventy-five percent of the units would be studio apartments; the other 25 percent could be one- or two-bedroom units.

The New Local News Model

On July 1, we started a new way to pay for news. Yes, we want you to subscribe, but we know nobody subscribes to every site they visit just because there's a paywall.

So if you don't want to subscribe (even at the low price of $39.99 for a year), you can pay for access to individual articles. Or just buy a 24-hour pass, as if you were buying a single copy of a newspaper. We use a new payment service called Transact, which lets you pay for individual articles in as little as three seconds. And you will get $3 in credit when you sign up (just an email address, no credit card required), which will let you pay for at least 20 articles.

This is new for everyone, so we're going to ease you into this. Initially, there won't be many articles that you have to pay for. Short ones will always be free. And even the longer stories will let you read the first half or so for free. We'd love to hear what you think, so send us a note at feedback@peninsulachronicle.com.

The Peninsula Chronicle reports on business news on the Virginia Peninsula, from Williamsburg to Newport News and Hampton.
