Norfolk is an independent city that administers its own zoning ordinance through the Department of City Planning. The ordinance, adopted January 23, 2018, addresses shipping containers by name in a dedicated accessory structure section. That section requires a zoning certificate before any container is placed on a lot and lists exactly which zoning districts allow a permanent container. Moveable temporary storage containers of the PODs variety are handled separately under the City Code rather than by zoning.

Norfolk International Terminals supports a drayage, transload and warehousing trade, and those operations can run short on ground. An owned container is storage the company controls outright, with no per diem clock running on a steamship line's box and no waiting on a yard slot.
Ship repair yards, riggers, coating crews and marine suppliers along the Elizabeth River stage heavy, awkward gear between jobs. A container can hold staging, valves, fittings, coatings and tooling at the yard fence line, locked and out of the weather, instead of tying up shop floor.
With the fleet homeported here, households can face a move or a deployment. A container on the property can hold furniture, gear and a workshop in one place during a deployment or between houses. It stays where you can get to it, on your own timeline rather than a storage facility's.
Norfolk's zoning ordinance carries a written section for freight and shipping containers, and it names the industrial, business and commerce, and institutional districts where permanent placement is allowed with a zoning certificate. For a business operating on that kind of parcel, the ordinance gives a written answer rather than a gray area.
Sitting where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic means planning around the storm season. Wind and Water Tight and Cargo Worthy containers can keep records, tools, generators and irreplaceable belongings dry, locked and in one place you can reach before and after a storm.
Renovation work across Ghent, Colonial Place, Larchmont, Park Place and Ocean View, and new work across South Hampton Roads, has crews that move site to site. One container on the lot can keep tools, copper, fixtures and finish material locked overnight, without a daily load-in and load-out.
