There are around 19, 000 acres of undeveloped land north of the Green Line (this does not include First Landing Park), approximately 10% of the total acreage of the City.

M. ITEM # 46880 Mayor Oberndorf expressed concern relative the homeless families (men, women, children) inhabiting the wooded areas near the proposed Town Center. These people will be displaced Andy Friedman, Director, Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, advised the City will work with these individuals to provide shelter. Mr. Friedman advised Spot Blight Abatement is a "tool" and it is hoped this will enhance the City's ab ility to preserve and enhance neighborhood quality in Virginia Beach. Through the utilization of power point, Mr. Friedman displayed information relative Spot Blight. The first slide exemplifiedvacant property, legally in compliance with the laws, next door to well maintained properties and creating an extremely negative perception o fan area. SPOT BLIGHT ABA TEMENT BA CKGR 0 UND State authority provided in 1995 Staff review in 1998 Proposed for consideration of City Council in December 1988 as part of l 1 point Neighborhood Investment Strategy. Presented to Planning Commission in July 1999 By adopting the proposed Ordinance, City Council wouM authorize the City Manager to bring forward properties for consideration under this Ordinance. All localities may, by ordinance, declare a property to be blighted, and may cure the blight through repair or demolition or may acquire the property using the power of eminent domain. The locality is authorized to hold, clear, repair, manage or dispose of such property. In addition, the locality has the power to recover the costs of any repair, demolition or disposal of such property from the owner. The locality may, in lieu of the above, declare a property to be a public nuisance, and abate the nuisance without acquiring it. There are two options to utilize the Authority: Option 1 Abate the Problem Staff Recommendation City Manager/City Attorney Approval Council Ordinance Staff acts to Abate the Nuisance Option 2 Acquire the Property and then Abate the Problem Staff Recommendation and Abatement Plan City Manager/City Attorney Approval Planning Commission review/recommendation Council Decision on Ordinance If Council approves acquisition, staff initiates condemnation proceeding Once property is acquired, staff carries out abatement plan July l l, 2000 -6- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING SPOT BLIGHT ITEM # 46880 (Continued) Financial Considerations Costs, couM be incurred for the abatement activity itself(repair, demolition) Costs couM be incurred for the purchase if acquisition is carried out. Costs couM be incurred for holding and re-use/disposal All costs are chargeable to owner. If property is acquired, costs can be recovered from eventual sale. If not acquired, incurred costs become receivable until paid. Costs for some properties (housing to be reused for affordable housing) couM be federally eligible. Other costs wouM need other sources. Staff would recommend a source o f funding as part of an Abatement Plan. Mr. Friedman advised staff would consider only properties that meet one of the following criteria for the Spot Blight Abatement process: Vacant an/or boarded for at least three months Subject of documented complaints and code enforcement actions No longer being maintained for useful occupancy Dilapidated or lacks normal maintenance and upkeep Subject of nuisance abatement actions undertaken by the City Only a few properties (6~year or less) are expected to actually go through the entire process resulting in nuisance abatement and/or acquisition. Staff may initiate the process on more properties, but those are expected to become compliant before Council action is required The staff wishes to compel compliance, not acquire property or fix it. When the property owners receive the initial notice under this law, it is hoped that the property owners will then take action to resolve the problem. Reports from the City of Norfolk and Fairfax County indicate that this is frequently the case. Mr. Friedman displayed a specific example: aerial photograph of the Princess Anne Plaza Town Homes on the right and the adjacent Plaza Apartments. The Plaza Apartments are a professionally managed group of apartments whose owners have invested really significant funds in upgrading their property. Several million dollars of private funding investments have been utilized to make these apartments a better place to live. Plaza Apartments are extremely aware they are unable to make the other owners in the surrounding town homes comply even though they have tried. There are many Plaza town home owners who have maintained their property; however, unJbrtunately some owners are not maintaining their property. This is despite city action to bring their neighborhood in compliance. CommunitypoBcing has intensified to eliminate crime in this area. Code enforcement has been also intensely utilized. The City property has been cleaned up. Housing and Neighborhood Preservation has assisted in the organization of the Civic League. The Community Development Corporation (VBCDC) has purchased ten (1 O) houses, which have been managed professionally and kept up to standards. Grants are available to owners to repair the interior and exterior of the dwellings. Mr. Friedman displayed three vacant townhouses which are victims of spot blight. Mr. Friedman made the following acknowledgments: Policy Report content by Alex Davis - Code Enforcement Administrator Legal Review by Assistant City Attorney Kay Wilson Photos by Drucker & Falk and Virginia Beach Police Department Presentation by Katherine Williams - Department of Housing Special thanks to Carol Williams, Wendy Drucker, Stewart Bazemore and Lt. Douglas Backman. Councilman Mandigo advised this will be very controversial among the citizens and wished all to be well informed. Mr. Friedman advised the Mayor, the VIRGINIAN-PILOT will compose an article relative Spot Blight Abatement and contact will be made with all the civic leagues. An Ordinance relative Spot Blight Abatement will be scheduled for a future City Council Session. July l l, 2000 -7- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING TROLLEY SYSTEM ll:$2A.M. ITEM # 46881 Michael Townes, Executive Director - Hampton Roads Transit, introduced Michael Perry - HRT Chief Operations Officer.. Mr. Townes concurred with the Vice Mayor that the resources shouM not be expended unless the trolley system functions correctly. HRT is committed to improving the system.. Michael Perry b eheved HRT under emphasized the importance of providing quality service and meeting the challenges of a Holiday Weekend. This is a challenge. Mr. Perry cited the recommendations: Establish stronger liaison with the City's Planning staff Coordinate with Human Resources to track and hire qualified appBcants, both season and full time. These issues will be addressed with the contract negotiations with the unions. Find new and innovative methods to attract qualified employees. Mr. Townes referenced statistics provided by Mr. Perry and his staff The number of trolleys to be operating during the July Fourth Holiday were on the street and had "bunched up" on the other end of the line, which he has been advised is not an uncommon occurrence. HRT's supervisors and operators are responsible for keeping a reasonable distance between vehicles; however, some of the "bunching" is due to traffic congestion. The HRTstaffhas established an additional liaison with the City's Police Department, Captain Eisenberg. The Captain and his staff will assist in any way feasible to keep the traffic lanes open. HRT is struggling with its current low pay rates to the trolley operators. Vice Mayor Sessoms reiterated the Beach trolley system is a major asset. These trolleys are extensively utilized. [qce Mayor Sessoms believes the trolley system service should be expanded. The trolleys pay for themselves. Mr. Townes advised there are 47 buses on order. There are 4 units on the north side which are 30-foot, low floor buses. There are 30-foot high floor buses on order to replace the trolleys utilized on regular routes in l~rginia Beach and Norfolk. HRT does not believe the trolleys shouM be on regular route service. They do not provide enough comfort for regular route service. High floor buses are needed on the south side because of flooded streets when storms occur. The low floor buses from the north side will be brought over to replace the trolleys on the regular routes. These will provide more trolleys for the beachfront operation. Mayor Oberndorf expressed concern relative the clustering and the trolleys not arriving on time for pickup. Things were not running smoothly. Mr. Perry is going to be very aggressive in correcting the problem of clustering and the drivers conferring with one another. Mr. Pierson has been with the operation for the last twenty years since it was first a private operation run by the city. He is now Mr. Perry's subordinate. Mayor Oberndorf referenced the Gallup Buses which ran expeditiously from the Pavilion Parking Lot to the oceanfront and were on time. The total amount under expended for the City's services will be provided, as well as the number of hours. Councilman Harrison fully supported [qce Mayor Sessoms' comments concerning the need for a transportation system which the visitors and citizens couM rely upon. Councilman Harrison advised guests staying at his house on the north end have been disappointed they cannot get a trolley and must walk to 42"a Street to catch one. Councilman Harrison suggested the possibility of expanding the sbrvice to 57th Street and turning around in the median on the feeder road and coming back. He looks forward to working with Mr. Townes, Vice Mayor Sessoms and Council Lady Wilson to improve this service. Mr. Townes advised HRT established a fund of $900,000 to assist the City in placing signage for the permanent trolley lanes and these funds have not been utilized Electronic signs, road markings or physical barriers couM be established at the determination of the City. Mr. Townes advised Council Lady Wilson the bargaining unit work rates effect all of the work rates. At the present time, the trolley drivers are hired at SZ 50 an hour. McDonalds hires at this opening rate. Benefits are not offered to the part time, hourly and seasonal employees. Therefore, HRT has difficulty attracting the type of worker desired. July 11, 2000 -8- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING TROLLEY SYSTEM ITEM # 46881 (Continued) Council Lady McClanan requested clarification relative the HRT billboards. Mr. Townes advised HRT has soM advertising on placards and as "wrapped" buses since the organization has existed The revenues do lower the City's costs. This year a net income of over SI-MILLION is anticipated from that advertising program. If this income were to be reduced, Virginia Beach wouM have to bear approximately several hundred thousand dollars and it wouM be difficult for him as a Transportation Manger to arrange a transit system where buses with advertising operated in six (6) cities and not in the seventh. If it were decided that Virginia Beach abhorred the advertising so much then the other partners wouM have to come to some conclusion that it is not what HRT shouM be doing and this advertising wouM be ceased. As a business person, he wishes to maximize every resource possible. Council Lady Eure advised she had previously expressed this concern relative the "rolling billboards". These buses have increased recently. Council Lady Eure advised Mr. Townes had indicated if Virginia Beach did not like these signs, they wouM not run in Virginia Beach except when necessitated due to lack of buses. Mr. Townes advise he mis-spoke and apologized. ~'ce Mayor Sessoms advised as a result of City Council's and Pat Bridges' (14rginia Beach Beautification Commission) concerns, he contacted the City Attorney, who advised these bus signs are not billboards. Mr. Townes will provide an amount of funds received for this advertising and compare them to not having to supplement for other transportation needs of the disabled, elderly, new routes et cetera. The present concept will be evaluated Mayor Oberndorf suggested this concern be discussed during the City Council Retreat. duly 11, 2000 -9- ITEM # 46882 Mayor Meyera E.

ITEM # 46885 Mayor Oberndorf referenced request of the Chairman of the School Board relative demolition of the Woodstock Elementary School and expediting a 2006 completion at Princess Anne. Dr. denney requested a meeting with Council Members post haste. Council Lady McClanan was under the impression the City was not building any more new schools. The Modernization Committee had expended a great deal of funds on a study. Council Lady Wilson advised these construction companies did not like the idea of modernizing these schools as the construction had to be performed around the students. Additional problems were found than originally believed, i.e. additional asbestos. The bids are so high for modernizations that it proved to be more financially feasible to tear the school down and rebuild. Modernization only results in a 25-year life span while a new school has a 40-year life span. Bayside Elementary proved too costly to modernize. The cost to rebuild proved comparable. It has been determined that Woodstock Elementary is going to cost much more than budgeted. The Modernization Committee has stated they wouM be reconvening every two years to review the situation. Council Members Branch and Eure, Council Members Liaison to Schools, will review and provide information. uly l l, 2000 CITY -13- MANAGER'S BRIEFING BOARD WALK TRAM 1:12 P.M. ITEM tt 46886 Dale Castellow, Transportation Planning Coordinator, advised information was previously presented to City Council relative the concept ora tram on the newly expanded boardwalk. A t this time, the staff was directed to meet with the various Resort interest groups and identify their position, funding issues and the design of the tram. At this point, the Hampton Roads Transit is requesting endorsement by this City Council which will essentially give them the authority to move forward. The Hampton Roads Transit shall prepare a service proposal for City Council's review. An operation schedule will also be provided Initially, the Federal Transit Administration advised this was not a transit vehicle, but was essentially an amenity. However, they have concluded it is a transit vehicle and agreed to fund same. HRThas set approximately $750,000 in their Capital Grant. The City wouM be required to provide a 20% match, which amounts to approximately $15o, ooo. Until 1993, Tidewater Regional Transit (now Hampton Roads Transit) operated a trolley along the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. The trolley, which charged a $. 50fare, was routinely the most utilized and most efficient trolley route at the Oceanfront. Throughout its operation, the trolley required minimal city subsidy because of its high ridership. The trolley served as both a transportation facility and a tourist amenity. The Boardwalk Trolley was canceled after several citizens complained about the size of the trolley and its proximity to pedestrians and cyclist. Although the trolley was not involved in any major accidents, most people agreed the trolley was too large for the space available on the boardwalk. Several complaints were also noted about the fumes emitted from the trolley. The present concept is HRT will operate the tram and it will not replace of the Atlantic Avenue Trolley. Rob Hudome, Convention and Visitor Development, advised this proposal was reviewed and endorsed by the Resort Advisory Commission, the Virginia Beach Hotel-MoteI Association, Virginia Beach Restaurant Association and the Resort Retailers Association. This will be an open air pedestrian scale vehicle, preferably gas. Four units are being proposed A charging station is envisioned on the boardwalk. It is hoped this system will be in place for the 2001 season. Mr. Hudome displayed a photograph ora similar system. The hours will be 12:00 Noon until 12:00 Midnight weekdays and 12:00 Noon until 2:00 A.M. on weekends. City Council recommends advertising not be placed on the boardwalk trams. Mr. Hudome advised this unit is just an example. The vendors are willing to buiM the tram according to specifications. Council Members Parker and McClanan advised this Trams resembles more the vehicles that are utilized in major recreational facilities i.e. Disney World. Council Lady McClanan beheved rather than just four units, more shouM be considered. Council Lady McClanan inquired also relative the staffing and funding of the vehicle. An estimate shouM be prepared based on attendance and usage in other resorts. Mr. Hudome advised previously there were 2 boardwalk trains with a capacity of 60. All the proposed units will be ADA accessible and have wheelchair lift. There will be the ability to add another trailing unit rather than procuring a whole new motor unit. Right now, an example of the motor unit and the trailing unit are about 48feet long and 8feet wide. Council Lady Wilson suggested a market analysis of the fares of other resort communities. Mr. Hudome advised the staff is reviewing a continued expansion of trolley service and the season. A custom graphicspackage will be createdandpresented to City Council during a Workshop Session. Mr. Castellow advised, relative operating costs, if the trolley is any indicator, there will be no operating costs to the City. This trolley will qualify for State and Federal aid. In years past, this has resulted in no cost to the City. July11, 2ooo -14- AGENDA RE VIE W SESSION 1:28 P.M.

In June 2000, the City was awarded a national recognition of the waterways. Mrs. Gilbert quoted from Hillary Rodham Clinton's letter: "The Millennium Trails Project is a public/private partnership led by the White House Millennium Council, United States Department of Transportation, Trails Conservancy, National Endowment for the Arts, National Park Service, American Hiking Society, and a committed group of federal agencies, national organizations and private companies. New coalitions are being formed every day to continue the nationwide effort to connect every community in America with a network of Millennium Trails. The Millennium Trails are tangible gifts to the fi~ture that represent a commitment and investment in the kind of country we want to create in the 21'~'t Century." The Waterway in Virginia Beach was officially dedicated in September 1986. Since that time, it has been cleaned by both private and City personnel. July11, 2000 - 27- Item PRESENTATION ITEM # 46910 C. Mac Raw& Executive Director of Museums and Cultural Arts, presented the schematic designs of the Virginia Marine Science Museum, Phase III, which will translate these conceptual plans into real space and also provide the basis for an accurate cost estimate. The Virginia Marine Science Museum will exceed the City's expectations and be one of the best marine education centers in the United States. Additionally, the impact of this facility will be interpreted by the exhibit programs and information relative the recently completed economic impact survey. The site will be treated as a separate item and this information will be presented to City Council at a future Session. At that time, recommendations will be made relative the acquisition of certain properties. Peter Sollogub, Chermayeff, Sollogub and Poole, advised in May 2000, the firm completed the schematic design which encompass architectural documents of all the major engineering disciplines, especially the factors of life support and habitat design. Those documents were submitted and evaluated by an independent Project Manager and Cost Evaluator and were also reviewed by Everett Herndon. Phase III has been conceived as a stand alone building, 114,000 square feet on multi-levels. It has now been designed to extend the Museum's theme from the estuary's and the Chesapeake Bay to the Virginia Coast and its ocean. It has been designed to contain and extend the Museum's focus from marine conservation, animal stewardship care, and education and to extend those concepts in this new facility. The large tank contains 1,600,000 gallons of water, is 130feet long and 40feet deep, and is supported by four levels of facility care. This tank will exceed the size of the tank in Lisbon, which until now has been their largest tank. Viewing windows 20feet tall create an emersive experience. The lobby will be three times the size of the current facility and contain visitor services and educational facilities. The visitor will proceed upward 60 feet on an elevator 60 feet with a sound and light experience; and, at that point, they will enter the emerging habitat. The habitat is nearly as long as a football field, (almost 300 feet in length). The stranding gallery is a "state of the art"facility. The building has been designed as a pavilion of glass, warm colored steel and cast stone. It has been designed in such a way as to allow the exhibit to be seen from the outside. At night, it will glow like an lantern above the estuary. PROJECT COST ESTIMATE SCHEMATIC DESIGN 1999 Design $ 5,000,000 Construction Building Exhibits Sub-Total $ 28, 205, 854 $ 6, ooo, ooo $ 34, 205, 854 Site Work $ 0 Furniture and Equipment $ 0 Site Acquisition $ 0 Contingencies $ 3,420,585 Project Totals $ 42, 626, 439 Mark Swingle -Curator - Stranding Center, advised this project expands the Mission to educate citizens relative the Marine Environment. The new Stranding Center will have more than 100,000 gallons of emergency medical pools for the rescue and rehabilitation of stranded dolphins, seals and sea turtles. There will be research and data management facilities and laboratories for full-time medical and animal care staff In the last decade, the Stranding Team responded to more than 1500 marine animal strands in Virginia. The new center will be the finest marine animal rescue facility in the Mid-Atlantic region. The new facilities will allow for emergency and long-term care of stranded animals. Stranding is labor-intensive, extremely expensive and does not produce revenues. Educational Value of Marine Mammals in Aquariums People are inspired to care by experiencing live animals. The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) lists aquariums and zoos as some of the most important informal learning resources. Of those responding to public polls, 91% believe zoological institutions are important for educating people about marine mammals. In 1999, 132-MILLION people visited zoos and aquariums.

Vice, Esquire Meyer & Glitzenstein 1601 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20009-1056 Re: Virginia Marine Science Museum Phase III Expansion Dear Mr. Vice: I am writing in response to your letter to me, dated August 9, 2000, and as a follow up to our telephone conversation on August 24, 2000. In your letter, you expressed concern that a "Presentation" on the Virginia Marine Science Museum's Phase III expansion, scheduled for City Council's July 11 meeting, was changed at the last minute to a public hearing without notice to PETA and other concerned citizens. You then requested that, in light of this change, a new hearing be scheduled as soon as possible in order to "provide full opportunity for PETA and others to present their views .... " In our conversation, I indicated that there will be several opportunities between now and the end of the year for the public to comment on the expansion, even ifa formal "public hearing" on the matter is not scheduled during that time. These opportunities will be available whenever an ordinance or resolution concerning the Museum appears on a Council agenda. Therefore, given the availability of these additional opportunities for public comment, the separate public hearing you have requested will not be necessary. And finally, your request for advance notice of all future public hearings on the expansion can be satisfied by simply calling the City Clerk's Office after 3:00 p.m. on the Friday before a Council meeting and inquiring whether any Museum-related items are on the Council's pending agenda,l Additionally, City Council's agenda is published the Sunday before each Council meeting in the Beacon, a supplement to The Virginian-Pilot. ~The City Clerk can be reached at (757) 427-4303. Proud Recipient of the 1998 U.S. Senate Medallion of Excellence for Productivity and (.~uality in the Public Sector. Daniel R. Vice, Esquire 2 August 29, 2000 I trust that this response adequately addresses your concerns. However, if you would like to discuss this matter further, .please do not hesitate to call me at (757) 427-8892. Very truly yours, RMB/sat cc: The Honorable Meyera E.

DolphinFreedomcorn July 14, 2000 Councilwoman NancT Parker 604 Goldsboro Ave. Virginia Beach, VA 23451 D~ar Councilwoman Parker, Regarding Tuesday's presentation bs' the Virginia Marine Science Museum, the Dolphin Freedom Coalition alw%vs welcomes the oppom~nity to address CiW Council. However, we mnst again express our deep dissatisfaction with the manner in which that presentation-was adve~ised and. implemented. Although a "public hearing" occurred, it was not advertised as such to the general public, nor was it correctly identified as a forum for public comment during any of the numerous calls that I made to tho city clerk. If this was simply an error, thc proper thing for thc council to do would have been to hold tho presentation as it had been advertised and reschedule the public hearing for the ~uture. Instead, the council decided to hold a "public heating," again, without notifying the public, directly after a 30-minute money pitch by Mac Pawls. The time for a public hearing is not right after one side of an issue has been promoted for 30 uninterrupted minutes. Nor is it proper to hold a public hearing immcdiatcly foiloxving a pr~scmation that has offered new information on thc issue. Finally, if a true "public hearing" is what you denired, why would you hold it in the middle of a weekday aternoon, when most people cannot attend due to employment restrictions? In subsequent conversations with various city staff members, I have learned that Mac Pawls knew that there would be a chance to comment all along, This explains why there were pro-captivity supporters there. Il/hat it doesn't explain is why this information was never released to the general public, ~ven when they called to ask. This basic failure of cmmcil to include the public in their deci.~inn-making process se~-ras to occur quite a bi~ in our city. I can't tell you how many people, in the hallway ,alter the presentation and over the telephone since the "public heating," have expressed embarrassmem because of council's actions and a strong desire to see council express an eagerness to hear public comment rather than a rctuclancc to do so. We have b~n respectful Of this process all along, speaking at the approlSriate forums and f6cusing our campaign on the construction of a dolphin tank at the museum and not the many complaints that wg have received concerning the museum's treatmem of animals already in the facility. Our continued patience is dependent on council's ability to respect our righ~ to take part in this democratic process and have our voices heard. Sincerely yours, Bill Ne~ly Public Aft'aim Coordinator.

Page 20, Section VI (Alternative Land Use Policies), Paragraph D, shall read as follows: This corridor plan provides a range of development options, incentives and performance criteria to help achieve these objectives. The amount of density recommended within each Sub Area range will be commensurate with the degree to which the development inteqrates the Goals and Objectives (page 5), Development Criteria (page 20) and Area-Specific Recommendations (pages 21-29) of this corridor plan. It may be useful to demonstrate examples of how appropriate density levels might be considered. We will use Sub Area 2 as a case site. It consists of 27 properties, comprises about 100 acres and is presently zoned AG-1 and AG-2. First Example - In the case of a hypothetical development proposal that consolidates 5 parcels on 30 acres with direct roadway access to Princess Anne Road, no more density above that allowed in the AG-1 and AG-2 districts should be granted because none of the goals and objectives of the corridor plan have been met. Second Example - A development proposal that consolidates 60 acres, protects the adjoininq neighborhood with landscaped buffers, and ties all internal roadway accesses to London Bridge Road Extended may warrant a "baseline" density of 2 dwelling units per acre with no conunercial element. Third Example - This example reflects an "incentive" level of development, one that may warrant 6 dwelling units per acre and 50,000 square feet of neighborhood serving commercial uses would incorporate a number of carefully planned and designed features. This kind of development would include 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 8O 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 complete or neari¥ col~lece parcel consolidation of Sub Area 2, would have no direct access to Princess Anne or Holland Roads and, instead, would complement the view along this roadway with well landscaped open spaces and water features. The internal roads would provide access for this new development and would link the adjoining neighborhood and church to London Bridge Road Extended. All internal roads would be very attractively designed. The development would integrate a regional stormwater management facility that doubles as a publicly accessible park. Other open space areas would be used to enhance vistas and improve land use compatibility. Adjoining neighborhoods would be protected through the use of natural looking berms and well landscaped open --spaces that integrate many of the mature trees in this area. A variety of dwelling unit types incorporating exceptional architectural features would be carefully designed around an attractive, pedestrian friendly, neiqkborhood commercial center. Exceptional ~aenities including a co~nunity center with artworks and community pool would be added to give the neigh_bors and civic groups a place to meet and relax. Finally, a system of multipurpose trails would link the new co~unity's activity center to the larger corridor trail system. As shown in these three examples, the recommended density is tied directly to the level of conformance to the goals, objectives and development criteria cited in this corridor plan. And, because isolated, piecemeal developments seriously compromise the planned vision for this corridor, such proposals would not be favorably considered for zoning changes above what currently exists. There may be occasions when the efforts of individual property owners to comply with the provisions of this plan are frustrated by physical constraints or factors beyond their control. Some weight should be given to this in determining allowable densiDy. In instances %~here the provision of street ties to adjoining properties are encouraged in order to merit higher density, such provision should not be uncompensated. Density credit should be given for such areas including the street tie. 2 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 regulatory .... -' ----~- -. 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 2. Page 21, Section VI (Land Use Recommendations) , Paragraph A, shall read as follows: General Criteria for Sub-Area Development: To advance the corridor objectives of creating well- planned developments, protecting existing neighborhood areas and preventing the addition of any unplanned accesses along the arterial parkways, the following land use planning strategy should be applied to the Sub Areas within the Princess Anne Corridor as described in this document. 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 It is the desire of the City that all proposed developments within this corridor adhere to the general Goals and Objectives cited on page five and the Development Criteria noted on page 20. In addition, Area-Specific Recommendations are presented on page 21. It is the policy of the city to strongly discourage development of individual parcels or isolated tracts of land within the Sub Areas of this corridor. Such methods of development result in an unplanned, inefficient, unattractive and fraqmented 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 pattern of growth and contribute to increased traffic congestion. Therefore, in those cases where applicants submit development proposals for such unwanted development, especially those that propose direct access to the arterial parkways, they will be judged against the criteria and objectives of this corridor plan and the comprehensive plan in general. 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 (Renumber subsequent paragraphs as needed.) 3.

Page 25, illustration (Sub-Area 2), shall read as follows: Example of Undesirable Piecemeal Development 5. Page 32: Section VIII (Corridor Utilities), Paragraph A (Utilities), Item 1 (Electrical and Communication) shall read as follows: The preferred recommendation is that~%~-~electrical and communication utilities should be moved into underground duct banks located on both sides of the roadway i~mediately behind the roadway storm drain system, if economically feasible. Utilities should be placed in shared parallel duct banks. Placement of the duct banks in this location behind the storm drainage will provide safe access to the utilities for maintenance while minimizing traffic disruptions. These duct banks should be sized to accommodate future expansions and upgrades. If it is determined that placing these utilities underground is infeasible, then, where possible, attractive utility structures and landscape treatments should be used to soften the visual impact to the greatest practical extent. 164 165 6.

ORDINANCES/RESOL UTIONS ITEM # 46921 d. B. Datson, Military Affairs Co-Ordinator and Robert Matthias, Assistant to the City Manager, advised the F-14 aircraft have been in the Navy's inventory for over 25 years and will be totally removed from the inventory by the year 2008. The Navy has developed the new Super Hornet F/A-18E and F aircrafi to replace the F-14s. The Navy will be conducting a series of pubHc information meetings and will evaluate, through an Environmental Impact Statement, the placement of these aircraft at Oceans, Meridian, Mississippi, Beaufort, South Carolina, or Cherry Point, North Carolina. Oceans is currently the largest employer in Virginia Beach and has an annual impact of about $1.2-BILLION (approximately $ 700-MILLION in salaries and $5OO-MILLION in goods and services purchased). With the departure of the F-14s, if all F/A-18 aircraft on the East Coast are based at OCEANA Naval Air Station, approximately 300 planes could be stationed there. This would mean a reduction in Field Carrier Landing Practice activity by 1/3. Mr. Matthias referenced an Amendment to the Resolution, the additional paragraph: "That City Council is desirous of making sure that the opinions of every affected citizen group in the City be taken into consideration before Council takes action on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Council will therefore establish an II-member Super Hornet Commission that will have representatives from the business community, citizen action groups, the miliary(if applicable), civic leagues, and other organizations as determined by City Council to make a recommendation on what should be the official position of the City when the draft Environmental Impact Statement is published late next year. City Council agrees to take a formal vote on the recommendations of the Commission." One of the main issues that has arisen is the need to have the Navy fully investigate Naval Auxiliary Landing Field which would reduce the amount of time Fentress and Oceana are used for FCLP s. FCLPs must take place prior to deployments and during pilot qualifications. Most of the operations must be conducted at night with pilots often times flying until 3:00 a.m. which results in noise impacts on the area around Oceana and Fentress. A new auxiliary landing field located outside the metropolitan area would greatly reduce noise impacts. The Navy will be holding public meetings to discuss the "scoping" of the Environmental Impact Statement relative the citizens' comments on July 25 (Strawbridge Elementary - Virginia Beach) and July 26, 2000 (Butts Landing Intermediate School - Chesapeake)from 4:00P.

VA 23456-9001 TO: FROM: DATE: Department Directors James K. Spore, City Manag~_~ July 13, 2000 SUBJECT: Navy Public Information Meeting The Navy has scheduled two public information meetings which serves as a "scoping process" for the Environmental Impact Statement (ELS) that will be done on the location of the F/A-18 E and F model aircraft. These are not public hearings but will consist of a series of stations where information can be obtained and/or comments provided. The F/A-18 E and F model Super Hornet is the successor to the F-l'4s and the older F/A-18 stationed at ©ceana. It is very important to the long-term viability of Oceana that the majority of the Super Hornets be home-based at Oceana. I request that you attend one or both of the public information meetings to show your support for the movement of the Super Hornets to Oceana. The meetings have been scheduled as follows: July 25, 2000 (4:00 - 9:00 p.m.) Strawbridge Elementary School July 26, 2000 (4:00 - 9:00 p.m.) Butts Station Intermediate School (Chesapeake) Attached are some of the salient points of why ©ceana is the best site for the future of naval aviation, the Super Hornet.

The following is based upon their response. Oceana currently has approximately 307 aircraft including the F/A-18 C and D model, the F-14 squadrons, and approximately 10 aggressor squadron aircraft. Approximately one half of the F-14 squadrons stationed at Oc,,eana will be transitioned to Super Hornet squadrons on th~ west coast where they will remain. The remaining F-14 squadrons will transition to the Super Hornet and will be stationed at an east coast base yet to be determined. By late 2001, three F-14 squadrons, including 36 aircraft, xvill be transitioning to Super Hornets that will fly exclusively from the xvest coast. If none of the Super Hornets are home based at Oceana by 2008, there could only be 142 aircraft stationed here (approximately 130 F/A- 18 C and D models and the aggressor planes). If all of the Super Hornets are stationed at Oceana by 2010, there will be less than 300 aircraft here and this number will continue to decline as the older F/A-18 C and D aircraft are retired from the inventory. Proud Recipient of the 1998 U.S. Senate Medallion of Excellence for Productivity and ~Ouality in the Public Sector Members of Council July 11, 2000 Page 2 A time line representation of the previous intbrmation is as t'bllo,,vs: NumberofAircraR ifno Super Year NumberofAircraR Hornets are based at Oceana 2000 307 307 2001 307 2002 278 2003 283 2004 289 172 2005 275 2006 268 2007 268 2008 285 142 2009 290 2010 290 A very important fact to be aware of is, if none of the Super Hornets are stationed at Oceana, by the year 2012 there will be very few planes based at Oceana. This woul'd mean that when the final decision for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is made in early 2002, ~ve could be faced with the thct that Oceana would have a gradual but increasingly negative impact on the City's economy. For instance, all of the perceived negatives such as AICUZ issues, jet noise, etc., would be in place and there would be 'a greatly decreased amount of economic benefit. Further, beyond 2010, if no Super Hornets ~{re based at Oceana, it is highly possible that Oceana would dwindle and lose "critical"mass and be subject to closure. Finally, the Navy's next generation aircraft is now predicted to be the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). Limited numbers of these aircraft may be purchased because of the cost. It is also possible that since these are joint acquisition aircraft, they could be stationed at a joint Navy/Air Force base. The JSF is not likely to become a reality until post 2010. It is also possible that the JSF may be skipped completely and a new generation of aircraft may become the future of naval aviation. Attached is information on the F/A-18 aircraft. I hope this information further defines the importance of having the Super Hornet aircraft so that the beneficial economic impact can be guaranteed into the second decade of the century.

Spore ity Manager c: Bob Matthias mililary ~iroJane~ F/A-18E/F Super Hornet I More Information The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, the nation's newest strike fighter, entered service with U.S. Navy squadron VFA-122 in November 1999. Seven production model Super Hornets landed at Naval Air Station Lemoore, Calif. on Nov. 17. VFA-122 is a fleet readiness squadron responsible for aircrew and maintenance training in the Super Hornet. The seven Super Hornets ferried to NAS Lemoore from Naval Air Warfare Center - Weapons Division China Lake, Calif. where Air Test and Evaluation squadron Nine had recently completed operational evaluation (OPEVAL) of the aircraft. A final report on the Super Hornet's performance during OPEVAL is expected early this year. The final report is similar to a report card and the best possible grade the Super Hornet can receive is operationally effective and operationally suitable. The Super Hornet successfully completed its second round of sea trials thre~' days ahead of schedule in March 1999. F1 and F2 trapped aboard the USS Harry S. Truman March 3 and catapulted off on March 14. The engineering and manufacturing development flight-test program for the Super Hornet was also completed in May 1999 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, MD. Flight-testing was completed on the original schedule and within the original budget established for the program in 1992. Seven flight-test aircraft completed more than 15,000 test points, a total of 3,172 flights and 4,673 flight hours in less than three and a half years of flight testing. The EMD flight-test program was conducted by an integrated test team (I?J-T) that consisted of government and industry members who shared all of the program's data and assets. The F/A-18E/F program is one of the first programs in which the new testing model has been completely-and successfully-implemented. The Navy has ordered 62 Super Hornets and plans to buy a minimum of 548 of the aircraft through 2010. All 12 of the LRIP 1 aircraft were delivered on or ahead of their contractual delivery date. The first class will graduate from VFA-122 in the early par of 2001. The first Super Hornet fleet deployment is scheduled for the spring of 2002. Congress approved a multi-year procurement of 222 Super Hornets over the next five years-fiscal years 2000 through 2004. The multi-year contract will save U.S. taxpayers about $700 million. The Super Hornet is the newest version of the combat-proven F/A-18 Hornet. The aircraft is 25 percent larger than its predecessor but has 42 percent fewer parts. Both the single-seat E and two- seat F models offer increased range, greater endurance, more payload-carrying ability, more powerful engines, increased carrier bringback capability, enhanced survivability and a renewed potential for future growth. http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/military/fa18ef/fa18ef, htm 07/07/2000 Structural changes to the airframe increase internal fuel capacity by 3,600 pounds, or about 33 percent. This extends the Hornet's mission radius by up to 40 percent. The fuselage is slightly longer - the result of a 34-inch extension - and the wing is 25 percent larger with 100 additional square feet of surface area. There are two additional weapons stations, bringing the total to 11. This allows for increased payload flexibility by mixing and matching air-to-air and/or air-to-ground ordnance. The aircraft also carries the complete complement of "smart" weapons including JDAM and JSOW. For aircraft carrier operations, about three times more payload can be brought back to the ship. Increased engine power comes from the F414-GE-400, an advanced derivative of the Hornet's current F404 engine family. The F414 produces 35 percent more thrust and improves overall mission performance. The F414's nine-to-one thrust-to-weight ratio is one of the highest of any modern fighter engine. Enlarged air inlets provide increased airflow to the engines. The Super Hornet is an adverse-weather, day and night, multi-mission strike fighter whose survivability improvements over its predecessors make it harder to find, and if found, harder to hit, and if hit, harder to disable. The Boeing Company leads a nationwide industry team that builds the Super Hornet. Boeing builds the forward fuselage and wings, and conducts final assembly. Northr0p_Grumman Corp. is the principal airframe subcontractor, supplying the center and aft fuselage. General Electric Co. produces the F414 engines, and ~heon provides the APG-73 radar.

Two Marine Corps F/A-lSD model Hornets-the two seat version-equipped with the Advanced Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance System (ATARS) entered combat operations May 26, 1999 filling a void in airborne manned tactical reconnaissance in the Marine Corps since the RF-4 Phantom retired from service. The Marine Corps began taking delivery of Hornets with provisions for a reconnaissance package in February 1992. Plans call for a total purchase of 31 tactical reconnaissance conversion kits, 24 data link pods and seven squadron ground stations. Deliveries will continue through 2002. The combat-proven F/A-18 Hornet is a single- and dual-seat, twin-engine multimission tactical aircraft. It is the first tactical aircraft designed from its inception to carry out both air-to-air and air-to- ground missions. ,. Today, the F/A-18 is in service with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Madne Corps and the air forces of Canada, Australia, Spain, Kuwait, Finland, Switzerland, and Malaysia. As of May 1999 Hornet pilots have accumulated more than 3.7 million flight hours and, in the process, are establishing new records daily in safety, reliability, maintainability and mission performance. A key aspect of the Hornet's popularity with pilots is the ease with which the aircraft can be converted from fighter to strike mode and back again; it's as easy as flipping a switch. During Operation Desert Storm, F/A-18s routinely performed fighter and strike missions on the same sortie. Fulfilling a variety of roles-air superiority, fighter escort, suppression of enemy air defenses, reconnaissance, forward air control, close air support, and day and night Atrike missions-the F/A-18 has proven to be the most versatile cc;mbat aircraft in service. The Hornet was designed to be reliable and easily maintainable. These factors result in significantly lower operating and maintenance costs for the F/A-18 compared to other U.S. Navy fighter and attack aircraft; and life cycle costs comparable to other modern multi-role aircraft. Survivability is another key feature of the Hornet. The F/A-18 uses a variety of systems and technologies to increase its likelihood of reaching a target undetected, of escaping unhurt if detected, and of returning its crew safely if it is hit. These systems and technologies have been significantly enhanced in the .F-_/__A-~I_8_EJ_E_S~pe~r_H__pm_e_t to further improve survivability. The F/A-18 has been upgraded regularly since entering service in 1983. In November 1989, the first F/A-18s equipped with night strike capability were delivered. Since 1991, F/A-18s have been delivered with F404-GE-402 enhanced performance engines that produce up to 20 percent more thrust than previous F404 engines. The Hornet's two engines deliver about 36,000 pounds combined thrust and a top speed of more than Mach 1.8. Since May 1994, the Hornet has been equipped with upgraded radar - the APG-73 -, which http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/military/falS/fa18.htm O7/07/20O0 substantially increases the speed and memory capacity of the radar's processors. In addition, today's Hornets have a laser target designatoflranger, housed within the targeting forward-looking infrared sensor that enables the aircraft to deliver precision laser-guided bombs with pinpoint accuracy. The Hornet's exceptional operational record and its continuous improvements have sparked ongoing international interest. The Philippines, Chile, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland have all expressed interest in the Hornet for future procurements. Canada was the first international customer for the F/A-18, and its fleet of 138 Hornets is the largest outside the United States. Deliveries to Canada were completed in 1988. Canadian CF~18s operate out of Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake, Alberta; and Canadian Forces Base Bagotville. The Canadian Forces are currently planning an aircraft modernization program, which would significantly upgrade the avionics of their CF-18s. The Operational Conversion Unit at Royal Australian Air Force Base Williamtown received its first Hornets in May 1985. Hornets delivered to the RAAF were assembled in Australia. Aircraft are located at Williamtown, in the east, and RAAF Base Tindal, in the north. Deliveries were completed in May 1990. Currently, the fleet is undergoing a two phase upgrade to include advanced avionics, new countermeasures, a new radar and an advanced air to air weapons system. The Spanish Air Force procured 72 EF-18s from 1986 to 1990. The SAF operates Hornets from air bases at Zaragoza, Torrejon and Meron. In September 1995, the SAF signed a letter of offer and acceptance to procure an additional 24 F/A-18As from the U.S. Navy inventory. To date, 13 of these aircraft have been delivered to the SAF. Kuwait signed a letter of offer and acceptance for 40 F/A-18 aircraft in August 1988. Delivery of the 40 aircraft was completed in August 1993. The aircraft are based at Al Jabar Air Base, near Kuwait City. Kuwait received the first F/A-18s powered with General Electric's new?404-GE-402 enhanced performance engines. Currently, Kuwait is in a post-production support mode. The United States continues to support the Kuwait Air Force with program management, contract administration, logistics, field team visits and sustained engineering. Finland signed a letter of offer and acceptance for 64 aircraft in June 1992. The Boeing Company delivered seven F-18D two-seat aircraft to the Finnish Air Force in 1995. The first of 57 single-seat aircraft, all C models, were delivered in June 1996 by Boeing's subcontractor Finavitec in Halli, Finland. Finavitec is scheduled to deliver the final F-18 in 2000. '.,~ Switzerland is procuring two complete' F/A-18s, 32 F/A-18 kits, support equipment and services. An F/A~18D and F/A-18C were delivered to Switzerland in December 1996 and early 1997 respectively. Kits for the remaining 32 aircraft were delivered in 1997. They are currently undergoing final assembly and ramp operations at the Swiss Aircraft and Systems Co. in Emmen, near Lucerne, Switzerland. Malaysia signed a letter of offer and acceptance for eight F/A-18 aircraft and support in December 1993. All eight aircraft were delivered during 1997. The Boeing Company leads a nationwide industry team that builds the F/A-18 Hornet. Boeing builds the forward fuselage and wings, and conducts final assembly. Northrop Grumman Corp. is the principal airframe subcontractor, supplying the center and aft fuselage. General Electric Co. produces the Hornet's engines, and Raytheon manufacturers the aircraft's radar. 1999 International Conference 120th Anniversary I Blue Angels I Fun Facts I JHMCS News Releases I Photos_ I Specifications I Video Boeing Hom_e I Military Airplanes Copyright ® 2000 The Boeing Company- All dghts reserved http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/military/fa 18/fa18.htm 07/07/2000 ews release Boeing Awarded Five-Year Contract for Super Hornet ST. LOUIS, June 16, 2000 -- The U.S. Navy has awarded a multiyear contract to The Boeing Company for the production of 222 _S_~p?_Ho_r_n~e_!.s_.. The $8.9 billion contract ensures continued production of the Super Hornet at Boeing facilities in St. Louis for the next five years. Under the terms of the contract, the Navy will purchase 36 aircraft in fiscal year 2000, 42 aircraft the following year, and 48 aircraft for each of the following three years. The multiyear agreement builds budgetary flexibility into the contract by allowing the Navy to increase or decrease the quantity of aircraft on order, except for the first year, by as many as six aircraft. "A key benefit of the multiyear contract is that Boeing and our suppliers now have a predictable workload enabling us to better plan our work force," said Pat Finneran, vice president and general manager for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps programs. "With 284 aircraft under contract, we will be able to invest in more processes and production improvements that will pay off in the future." Although the United States has historically procured most of its defense systems for only one year at a time, Congress can authorize an exception when a commitment to a longer-term buy makes good economic sense. The Super Hornet multiyear is expected to save U.S. taxpayers more than $700 million over the traditional, single-year procurement. "The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is the cornerstone of the future of Naval aviation," said Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jay Johnson. "It will provide twice the sorties, a third the combat losses and 40 percent greater range. We can't wait to get it to the fleet? Strike Fighter Squadron 115 (VFA-115).fi:om Naval Air Station Lemoore, C~iif., is slated to be the first fleet operational Super Hornet squadron. Currently flying F/A-18Cs, the squadron will start the transition to F/A-18Es later this fall and embark on its first deployment in June 2002 aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Boeing now has orders for 284 Super Hornets of which 22 have been delivered on time or ahead of schedule. The Navy plans to buy a minimum of 548 of the aircraft. An industry team led by Boeing builds the Super Hornet. Boeing builds the forward fuselage and wings, and conducts final assembly.

The following information was collected by Bob Matthias and is submitted for your review. * The meetings to be held in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach are public information meetings to act as part of the scoping process for the ElS to be done on the placement of the east coast F/A-18 E and F Super Hornet aircraft. The actual ElS will take approximately a year to complete and we expect a draft to be available by the end of 2001. The Navy is considering a number of sites for the placement of the Super Hornet aircraft which include: Oceana, Meridian, Mississippi, Beaufort, Sout~' Carolina, and Cherry Point, North Carolina. . .. .,~ A single site for all of the Super Hornet aircraft is preferred. The F/A-18 E and F models will be replacing the existing inventory of F-14 aircraft and the older F/A-18 aircraft. The F/A-18 C and D models were purchased beginning in the mid 1980s. These aircraft will start to be retired incrementally later this decade. An ElS has been completed for the west coast F/A-18 E and F aircraft and their fleet squadrons are starting to be purchased now. If all of the east coast F/A-18 E and F aircraft come to Oceana, there would still be approximately 1/3 less Fleet Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) at Oceana and Fentress because the east and west coast F-14 aircraft will be removed from the Navy's inventory. Proz~d Recipient of the 1998 U.S. Senate Medallion of Excelle~zce for Productivity and ~Cz~ah'ty in the Pz~bh'c Sector. The Honorable Mayor and Members of Council July 7, 2000 Page 2 Eight F/A-18 E and F aircraft operated out of Oceana over the past week without any noticeable increase in complaints. This supports the belief that the noise impact generated by the Super Hornets is comparable with the F/A-18 C and D aircraft. We believe Oceana is the pr_eferred alternative because of the cost savings to the tax payer and the various ~quality of life issues such as proximity of the home port of the aircraft carrier, the ability of Ihe pilots to conduct FCLPs prior to deployment and return home to their families in the evening, spousal employment, educational opportunities, and housing. Oceana has more than adequate infrastructure in place to support all of the east coast FIA-18 aircraft once the F-14s are retired. The F/A-18 E and F model is the future of naval aviation. One of the issues raised by CCAJN is the need to construct another outlying landing field. This is an issue that the Mayor has been pursuing with the Navy and Congressman Pickett is working to have funding made available to the Navy so they can begin studying an alternative outlying field now rather than waiting for the ElS process to get underway. We are very supportive of this action because of the reduction of FCLPs and noise impacts it would have on the citizens of Virginia Beach-and Chesapeake. Alternatives being considered by the Navy include a sea base i~land to be constructed much like an offshore oil platform and conventional bases such as Fort Pickett and areas in North Carolina. If the F/A-18 E and F models do not come to Oceana, then the favorable economic impact of Oceana will be reduced. It is likely that without the E and F aircraft at Oceana, the base would be at great risk for closure during the next BRAC process. CCAJN has requested construction of a second Hush House,. ;The Navy believes it is premature to construct an addiiional Hush House when the Io~ation for all of the F/A-lBs has not been determined. Als'd, the Navy has indicated that one Hush House may be able to accommodate all of the FIA-18 aircraft stationed at Oceana because of the reduced amount of time needed in a Hush House and the fact that the facility can operate on a 24-hour basis. I hope this information is helpful. Please call if I can provide anything further. Sincerely, ~ames K. Spore /,~./C ity Manager JKS/at - 43 - Item V- J..9.
