ITEM' MEETING DATE' I CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM An Ordinance to Amend the City Code Pertaining to Taxation by Updating Penalty Provisions for Late Remittance of Certain Taxes March 9, 2004 Background: The Virginia Code, at: § 58.1-3916, authorizes localities to establish due dates for the payment of local taxes and impose penalties when such taxes are not paid on time. Considerations: The current provisions for meal, lodging and admission taxes impose a penalty of five percent (5%) for late payment of amounts due; this penalty increases each month the tax remains unpaid, to a maximum of twenty five percent (25%). However, Virginia Code § 58.1-3916 only authorizes a late payment penalty of the greater of ten percent (10%) of the amount due or ten dollars ($10.00). Furthermore, § 58.1-3916 provides that it is "the sole authority for local ordinances setting due dates of local taxes and penalty and interest thereon."

FEB.2004 CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: MEETING DATE: Encroachment Request: Wooden Pier and Stone Rip Rap Location: 2901 Sandpiper Road Applicant: Regina M. Buhrman March 9, 2004 Background: Regina M. Buhrman, has requested permission to encroach into a portion of existing City Property. known as Mill Creek, located at the rear of 2901 Sandpiper Road, in the Sandbridge Beach community. The purpose of this encroachment is to allow an existing wooden pier and proposed stone rip rap. Considerations: Construction of the stone dp rap and continued allowance of the wooden pier will not be a detriment to maintenance of the canal, based on staff review. There are existing improvements of this nature bordering either side of the waterway, in the vicinity of the subject property. Regarding the bulkhead and/or dp rap: The Department of Public Works supports the utilization of "hardened slope stabilization" methods including bulkheading, grouted rip-rap and dp-rap with filter cloth to minimize and prevent soil loss along bank slopes associated with open drainage ditch, canal and lake systems. These methods are successful in areas with soil types classified as highly erodible, specifically during major rainfall events which create high velocities and wave action along bank slopes due to high winds. Public Information: Advertisement of Council Agenda. Altematives: Approve encroachment with recommended conditions, deny the encroachment or add conditions as desired. Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of this request.

The amount included $707,278 for renovation or replacement of bus garage facilities and/or site acquisition as required. On February 4, 2003, City Council adopted an ordinance that appropriated all of the funds as requested by the School Board, except for the amount requested for the bus garage facility. This appropriation was delayed for a study on possible future consolidation effort with the City's vehicle maintenance operation to be completed. As a separate matter, on February 17, 2004, the School Board adopted a resolution requesting that City Council create a new capital project 1-034, "High Schools Addition Study," and that the Council approve the transfer of $75,000 to this new project from 1-062, "ADA School Modifications." Considerations: After a recent meeting, the City/Schools Service Consolidation Comrnittee recommended that the $707,278 originally designated for a school bus garage facility be appropriated to a Schools capital project.

The Major Events Program has enjoyed over a decade of recognition for its appeal to families who visit or reside in Virginia Beach. From the standpoint of economic retum, the program has been successful in meeting its objective of increasing visitation in the shoulder season and distinguishing Virginia Beach among its competitors. Considerations: The % ¢ tax designated for this program has been projected annually and appropriations estimated. When taxes collected exceed the appropriation, the program is under funded. Historically the Major' Events Program was paid the under funded amounts for 1991 - 1995. For 1994/1995, 1995/1996, 1996/1997 and 1998/1999 the program was over funded to the degree that no additional funding was due the program up through and including FY 1999/2000. At the end of 1999/2000 the cumulative over funding of the program was $3,897. As the city's tourism industry enjoyed increases in visitation and tax revenues, by the end of 2000/2001, the % ¢ tax had produced sufficient tax revenue that the program again became under funded by a net amount of $24,694. For FY 2001 ~2002 the program was again under funded by $66,929, which brought the amount due the program to $91,623. As a new trend emerged, leaving the program appropriation under funded, a request was made to appropriate the $91,623. Action on the funding request was deferred pending completion of the City Audit. While this action was pending, the 2002~2003 fiscal year ended, producing an additional amount due the program of $158,787, bringing the total unappropriated funds for the program to $250,410. FY 200012001 $ 24,694 FY 200112002 66,929 FY 200212003 158~787 Total $ 250,410 In order to eliminate prograrn-funding delays, a new process has been established by Management Services to accumulate revenues in the Tourism Growth Investment Fund (TGIF) as they are earned and manage the program on a pay-as-you-go basis. · Public Information: Public Information will be through the normal means. · Alternatives: N/A Recommendations: Appropriate $ 250,410 to allow a true-up of the taxes collected for the purpose requested by the Virginia Beach Hotel/Motel Association and ordained by City Council, to provide the Special Events Committee with an up-to-date accounting of funds available for programming, and to provide the Special Events contractor adequate funding for start-up costs for the upcoming season. Recommended Action: Appropriation of $ 250,410 into TGIF/Major Events Program Account from the fund balance of the General Fund. This action provides the needed fund "true-up" and allows the transition to the TGIF pay-as-you-go basis developed by Management Services.

Services / / Approved as to Legal Sufficiency: City Atto~neklzfs Office ITEM: MEETING DATE: I II I CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM II Cardiovascular Equipment Lease March 9, 2004 Background: The Department of Parks and Recreation desires to fund the acquisition of exercise equipment with a lease-purchase agreement. This equipment (cardiovascular exercise machines) will replace old machines at five of the City's community recreation centers. (Out of 81 pieces of equipment, 44 % is greater than 9 years old, and 77 % is. greater than 5 years old.) Given the age and heavy use of the existing equipment, recreation center patrons often find machines that are broken or being serviced. As a point of reference, the current industry standard for equipment replacement in health and fitness clubs and gymnasiums is one year. Considerations: Using a lease-purchase agreement to obtain this equipment, in lieu of purchasing it outright, will save approximately $50,000 over a 3-year period, based on the equipment cost and warranty savings. Furthermore, recreation center users will have access to state-of-the-art cardiovascular equipment with minimal equipment maintenance down time. The lease-purchase agreement includes full maintenance for the three-year term, ending the need for extra cost maintenance agreements. The Department will also be able to increase its inventory by 13 pieces, to 94 total pieces. Before the Department may enter into the lease-purchase agreement, the City Council must appropriate the full lease-purchase proceeds of $190,540. Entering into a lease- purchase agreement increases the City's overall debt level (not constitutional debt, but debt as considered by rating agencies), but the increase in this case will have minimal impact. Funding for the first year's payments also must be transferred within the Department's Operating Budget, since the Department originally contemplated leasing the equipment without a purchase option. Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council Agenda notification process. Alternatives: The community recreation centers can continue with the past practice of purchasing equipment when funds are available, and maintaining/repairing equipment as needed. However, due to the advanced age and condition of much of the existing equipment, it would take several years and a significantly greater financial investment to provide the needed equipment. · Recommendations: Adoption of the Ordinance · Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approve Ordinance Submitting Department/Agency: Department of Parks and Recreation City Manager~ ~ H:\GG\orders~Parks & Rec Equipment Lease.arf. doc AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $190,540 FROM THE PROCEEDS OF A LEASE PURCHASE FINANCING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION, AND TRANSFER $23,178 WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET, FOR THE ACQUISITION OF RECREATION EQUIPMENT 7 WHEREAS, the Department of Parks and Recreation has determined 8 that entering into a lease-purchase agreement will provide more 9 timely replacement of recreation equipment and maintenance cost 10 savings. 11 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 12 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 13 1.

Police staff reviewed alternatives and determined that there is a more functional, reliable, and affordable service weapon available. The preferred service weapon is lighter, easier to operate under stressful conditions, more durable, easier to repair and maintain, and easier to shoot. It also costs less than the current model. Beginning with the August 2002 recruit academy, a new model service weapon was issued to recruits attending the academy. These weapons were purchased with appropriated funds in the Police Department's operating budget. Since that time, additional replacement service weapons have been funded through a combination of the general operating budget and appropriations from the "Police Store Fund" and the department's Property and Evidence accounts. The Police Department would like to replace all remaining service weapons with the new model at the earliest opportunity. Another funding source exists which can assist and expedite the replacement program, and reduce the impact on the general fund's operating budget. Virginia Beach police officers have had the opportunity to purchase, with their personal funds, the old model service weapon as these weapons have been taken from street service. This "buy back" program conforms to city, state, and federal regulations. The Police Department requests that these funds be appropriated for use in the replacement program. On March 23, 2003, City Council appropriated a total of $143,000 from the "Police Services Fund" and the Police Department's "Property and Evidence" accounts to help reduce the impact on the general fund for this project. · Considerations: There is $58,953 from the "sale of weapons" fund. These funds can be used to purchase 120 replacement weapons and holsters. · Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal Council Agenda process. · Alternatives: Use of these funds would allow the department to expedite the replacement process without solely relying upon the operating budget. Replacing all weapons within a short period of time has significant advantages for training and equipment maintenance. Phasing weapons in over several years requires the department to provide training programs on two types of weapons. · Recommendations: It is recommended that City Council appropriate $58,953 from the sale of weapons fund to accelerate the purchase of the new model of service weapon for all sworn personnel. · Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: Police City Manager:~lL- ~,~ AN ORDINanCE TO APPROPRIATE $58,953 IN REVENUE FROM THE SALE OF WEAPONS TO POLICE OFFICERS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S FY 2003- 04 OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE PURCHASE OF REPLACEMENT SERVICE WEAPONS WHEREAS, Virginia Beach police officers have the opportunity to purchase older model service weapons for personal use, with the revenue from the sale dedicated to the purchase of 9 newer model service weapons. l0 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY !!

Donald Reid - Subdivision Variance, Change of Zoning District Classification and a Conditional Use Permit MEETING DATE' March 9, 2004 · Background' (a) An Ordinance upon Application of F. Donald Reid for a Conditional Use Permit for an Open Space Promotion on property located at 3592 Indian River Road (GPIN 1483386300). DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE (b) An Ordinance upon Application of F. Donald Reid for a Chanqe of Zoning District Classification from AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional R-20 Residential District on property located at 3592 Indian River Road (GPIN 1483386300). The Comprehensive Plan recommends use of this property for appropriate growth opportunities consistent with the economic vitality policies of the City of Virginia Beach. DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE (c) Appeal to Decisions of Administrative Officers in regard to certain elements of the Subdivision Ordinance, Subdivision for F. Donald Reid. Property is located at 3592 indian River Road (GpIN 1483386300). DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE The City Council indefinitely deferred this matter on September 23, 2003 and on December 2, 2003. The City Council approved these requests on February 10, 2004. On February 17, 2004, the City Council moved to reconsider the vote of February 10, and set March 9 as the date for that reconsideration. There have been no chanqes to the proposal since the February 10 approval. Considerations: The existing site is heavily wooded with mature trees and vegetation. Wetlands areas and Southern Watershed Management Areas exist on the western .side of the site. The highest noise zone under the AICUZ designation encumbers the eastern side of the site. A single-family dwelling occupies the site. The site is zoned AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural. The applicant proposes to rezone the site from AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional R-20 Residential District and to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for Open Space Promotion. The Open Space Promotion allows for a F. Don Reid Page 2 of 3 reduction in lot sizes provided a minimum of 15 percent open space is provided throughout the development. Within the R-20 Residential ©pen Space Promotion, the minimum lot size is 12,000 square feet. The proposed development will consist of 45 lots varying in size from 12,000 square feet to 41,129 square feet with an average lot size of 15,875 square feet. Four of the lots do not meet the required lot widths in the Conditional R-20 Residential District with an Open Space Promotion. The lots are shown as flag lots on the submitted plan. The applicant is seeking a Subdivision Variance for those lots. The site is located within the Transition Area. Residential development should be a secondary component of the open space, and the overall development should strive to achieve a minimum of 50 percent open space using the existing natural resources. The applicant proposes 60 percent open space throughout the development, including areas of the existing natural resources and the land area encumbered by the greater than 75dB Ldn AICUZ. Staff utilized the Transition Area Matrix to determine the permitted number of lots within the proposed development. The proposed development is configured to protect and maintain the existing natural areas along the right-of-way and perimeter of the site. A minimum 300- foot buffer of existing treed areas along Indian River Road is maintained as a scenic buffer, as recommended by the Transition Area Design Guidelines. The buffer area will insure that a wooded area is maintained along Indian River Road and will effectively camouflage the residential development from the roadway. Large open space areas of woods and wetlands are maintained on both the western and eastern sides of the site. Eight foot wide mulch trails meander through the buffer areas. The applicant has submitted a conceptual site plan with proffers that effectively addresses the recommendations of the Transition Area Design Guidelines. Staff recommended approval. There was no opposition to the request. · Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0-1 to approve the requests as proffered and with the following conditions: Conditions for Use Permit: 1. The proposed development shall substantially adhere to the submitted Exhibit entitled "CONCEPTUAL SITE LAYOUT PLAN OF POTTER TRACT, VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA", dated 05-06-03, prepared by MSA, P.C., which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning. F. Don Reid Page 3 of 3 . Before any land disturbance occurs on the site, the applicant shall submit a detailed tree protection and restoration plan to the Development Services Center of the Planning Department for review and approval. The plan shall clearly delineate vegetation to be preserved and all restoration areas. Tree rnitigation for the restoration areas shall be 2:1. o Residential lot tree canopy shall be double the total canopy cover specified in the City of Virginia Beach's "Residential Tree Requirement Table." . For the purpose of screening the development from the existing agricultural operations to the northwest, supplemental plantings of evergreen trees shall be required along the boundaries of lots 31 through 40 in the open space area adjacent to the parcel to the west, if needed. 5. Right and left: turn lanes shall be provided into the site. The design and location are subject to the approval of the Public Works Department. 6. The eight foot mulched trails proposed on the eastern portion of the site shall be modified to provide connectivity with the parcel to the east. 7. A note shall be placed on the plat for Lots 31 to 40 as follows: "Lots 31 to 40 may be subject to sounds, odors, and other affects commonly associated with agricultural operations." Conditions for Subdivision Variance: I . The subdivision shall substantially adhere to the submitted Exhibit entitled "CONCEPTLJAL SITE LAYOUT PLAN OF POTTER TRACT, VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA", dated 05-06-03, prepared by MSA, P.C., which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning.

Property is located at 2484 North Landing Road (GPIN 14948115330000). DISTRICT 7- PRINCESS ANNE Considerations: The Conditional Rezoning from AG-2 Agricultural District to Conditional B-lA Limited Community Business District was approved by the City Council on February 8, 1994 with three proffers, as outlined in the staff report. The requested changes are as follows: The original Proffer 1 specifies a site design that would allow two additional buildings of only approximately 1,800 square feet each. The applicant has requested to modify' this proffer to allow for larger buildings (7,500 square feet each). The new proffered site plan also shows additional parking to meet the needs of the new retail area. Extensive landscaped areas are included, as well as several pedestrian crosswalks linking each of the buildings and adjacent public sidewalks. Proffer 2 will remain essentially the same but has moved to new Proffer 9. The proffer has been changed slightly to allow for restaurants with carry-out food. Proffer 3 is requested to be removed as all of the requirements specified therein have been met or are no longer applicable. The applicant has worked extensively with the Planning Staff and members of the Historic Review' Board to create an overall design that meets the guidelines of both the Historic and Cultural Overlay District and the Transition Area Technical Advisory Committee (TATAC): (1) The site has been laid out to preserve open space between the buildings and the roads; (2) Extensive pedestrian features, including patterned crosswalks and landscaped seating areas, have been provided; North Landing Development, LLC Page 2 of 2 (3) Architectural design and colors are a blend of the vernacular style of the restaurant and the Georgian design of the adjacent office buildings to the west and within the Municipal Center; (4) The buildings have two fronts: one facing the roads and one within the site facing toward the restaurant; (5) The rear of Building 1, which will be visible from the adjacent property to the north and from George Mason Drive, includes architectural features to improve its appearance. The rear of Building 2 has no doors but is well landscaped to screen its visibility from North Landing Road; (6) Screening of mechanical equipment and refuse collection areas has been addressed with an attractive design; (7) Extensive landscaping has been provided both within and surrounding the site; (8) Both signage and lighting have been specified to be compatible with the historic nature of the area; (9) Both right and left turn lanes will be provided on North Landing Road as required by the Department of Public Works / Traffic Engineering. (10)The limitations on allowable uses have been maintained as provided in the 1994 proffer agreement. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because of the pedestrian friendliness of the project, its consistency with the objectives for the Transition Area, and the enhancement of the proposed development beyond what was originally proffered. Staff recommended approval. There was no opposition to the request. Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0 to approve this request, as proffered.

The property is located within the Historic and Cultural Overlay District surrounding the Municipal Center. The applicant has worked extensively with the Historic Review Board and has received their approval. The site is in an AICUZ of 65 to70dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana and NALF Fentress. This application was deferred at the December 2003 Planning Commission agenda to finalize details of the proposal and again in January 2004 for failure to post notification signs. The signs have now been posted properly on site prior to the deadline. NORTH LANDING DEVELOPMENT Agenda Item # 22 Page 2 Summary of Proposal' ":: The Conditional Rezoning from AG-2 Agricultural District to Conditional B-lA Limited Community Business District was approved by the City Council on February 8, 1994. The Conditional Rezoning has three proffers: , The Property shall be developed substantially in conformity with the Site Plan entitled "SITE PLAN FOR FAMILY VENTURES, PRINCESS ANNE BOROUGH, VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA," dated September 25, 1993, made by Kellam-Gerwitz Engineering, which said plan has been exhibited to the City Council and is on file in the Department of Planning of the City of Virginia Beach. 2. The Property shall not be developed for or devoted to any of the following uses' so Business and vocational schools; Funeral homes; Grocery stores, carry-out food stores and convenience stores; Marinas; Mini-warehouses; and Veterinary establishments and commercial kennels. , The Grantor recognizes that the Property is located within the limits of Transitional Area I identified in the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Virginia Beach, adopted by City Council on March 5, 1991. The Comprehensive Plan states that all development within Transitional Area I shall pay its pro rata share of all needed capital improvements reasonably required to meet the demands and impacts created by the development of the Property. The Grantor agrees to pay its pro rata share as follows: a. bo The Grantor hereby proffers the sum of Eighteen Thousand Two Hundred Fifty- Seven Dollars ($18,257.00) (the "Proffer Charge"). The Proffer Charge shall be subject to credits totaling Ten Thousand Two Hundred Seventy and 08/100 Dollars ($10,270.08) (the "Credits") for the following dedications to be made to the City of Virginia Beach: i. The Grantor has obtained or agrees to obtain the dedication to the Grantee for right-of-way purposes of a strip of land eight feet (8') in width along the frontage of the Property adjacent to North Landing Road. ii. The Grantor has obtained or agrees to obtain the dedication to the Grantee for right-of-way purposes of a strip of land eight feet (8') in width along the frontage of adjacent property owned by Robert G. Brewer and Donna S. Brewer GPIN NO: 1494-71-6347 (the "Brewer Property")adjacent to North Landing Road. iii. The right-of-way dedications have been or will be made in conjunction with subdivision plats of the Property and the Brewer' Property. In the event thai: road improvements to North Landing Road (incorporating the parcels described above in subparagraphs 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii)) have not been included in the City's five-year CIP at the time of subdivision approval, the Grantor will execute an agreement in form acceptable, to the City Attorney, to ensure that such dedications will be made at such NORTH LANDING DEVELOPMENT Agenda Item # 22 Page 3 time as the road improvements are included in the five-year ClP; provided, however, if at the time of subdivision review, it is determined that the need for the dedication is reasonably generated by the development, such parcels will be dedicated to the City with the recordation of the subdivision plats. d, e. The Grantor recognizes that the payment of pro rata share costs does not eliminate other required fees normally associated with the development process. The Grantor agrees to pay the difference between the Proffer Charge and the Credits ($7,986.92) as follows: twenty percent (20%) of such payment shall be made prior to the issuance of a building permit for the Property, and the remaining eighty percent (80%) shall, at the same time, be secured by a bond or an irrevocable letter of credit acceptable in form to the City Attorney, which shall secure payment of the remaining sums which will be due prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. All funds collected by the Grantee may be utilized for any capital improvement in the five-year CIP at the date the funds are collected, or any other improvement of the type not normally included in the five-year CIP, so long as the need for the improvement bears a reasonable relation to the rezoning and to needs generated by the rezoning. Should the Grantee fail to utilize the Proffer Charge or any part thereof for any of the purposes set forth herein within then (10) years of the payment of same, then any of the said sums not so used shall be returned to the Grantor or other parties making such payments. Proffer 1 specifies a site design that would allow two additional buildings of only approximately 1,800 square feet each. The applicant has requested to modify this proffer to allow for larger buildings (7,500 square feet each). The new proffered site plan also shows additional parking to meet the needs of the new retail area. Extensive landscaped areas are included, as well as several pedestrian crosswalks linking each of the buildings and adjacent public sidewalks. Proffer 2 will remain essentially the same but has moved to new Proffer 9. The proffer has been changed slightly to allow for restaurants with carry-out food. Proffer 3 is requested to be removed as all of the requirements specified therein have been met or are no longer applicable. The Comprehensive Plan Map depicts this area of the city as Princess Anne (formerly known as the Transition Area). This area serves as a land use buffer between the urban northern portion of the city and the rural southern portion of the city. Land uses and densities within this area should not be a continuation of either form but a transition from one to the other. NORTH LANDING DEVELOPMENT Agenda Item # 22 Page 4 The Transition Area Design Guidelines state that commercial properties within Princess Anne should be thought ,of as Neighborhood Serving Centers. Although there are currently no neighborhoods within walking distance of the subject site, several office complexes, including the, Municipal Center, are within close proximity to the site. The proposal should incorporate pedestrian features to accommodate walking customers from nearby offices and any future neighborhoods. Since the property is within the Municipal Center destination node, the architectural design should incorporate features found on surrounding buildings so that the new buildings blend well with their surroundings. The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this request. Staff's evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these issues are adequately addressed. · Compatibility of building and site design with Historic and Cultural Overlay District. · Degree to which proposal meets guidelines of the Transition Area Technical Advisory Committee (TATAC).

This is a Modification of a Conditional Use Permit for a child-care center. John Norris: Thank you Mr. Commissioner. I'm John Norris, senior pastor of the Virginia Beach Freewill Baptist Church, my associate Larry Russell, and we're in agreement with the conditions that were permitted. William Din: Thank you Mr. Norris. Is there any opposition to this item? If not, will you also explain this one Ron? Ronald Ripley: Yes. This is a matter that came before us in September. It's a church on S. Witchduck Road off the expressway. It's a 2.8 acre parcel. It's in the Kempsville area and it was, I believe on consent at the time. I don't understand how you all must have gotten mixed up with your numbers but a request for the number of children was a lesser number then what's being requested today. So they came back to staff and staff met with them and they felt that the capacity was adequate and the facility could handle it. This Use Permit is requesting 139 children at a child care environment, if you will, in the church. The Commission looked at it and we believe that it's appropriate also and therefore we're recommending approval. William Din: Thank you Ron. Ms. Wood, I'd like to make a motion to approve the following consent item, Item #15 Virginia Beach Freewill Baptist Church, a Modification of a Conditional Use Permit with one condition.

DISTRICT 7- PRINCESS ANNE Considerations: The subject site, designated as Parcel E7, is part of a larger parcel that was rezoned on March 25, 2003 for an apartment community (Parcel El) with two commercial outparcels (Parcels E6 and E7) fronting on Nimmo Parkway. Proffer 7 in the recorded Conditional Zoning Agreement associated with that rezoning governs the subject site. The subject site is proposed for an auto repair establishment. Proffer 7 states: "The architectural design of the commercial buildings constructed within Parcels E6 and E7, when constructed, shall be compatible with the design of the buildings constructed, or planned design of buildings that may be constructed pursuant to Section 6 above, on Parcel El. The predominant colors may vary but shall be earth tones. Accent colors of individual choice are permitted." The site work for the apartment community is currently underway and the apartment buildings are in the final design stages. In addition, Parcel E6 was recently approved by City Council for an Exxon convenience store, gas pumps and car wash. The ..site plan and buildings on the subject site have been coordinated with both the apartment plans and Exxon plans so that the site orientation, landscape plan and architectural elevations will be compatible with the apartments and Exxon. The use proposed by the applicant can be problematic when located adjacent to residential uses, mainly due to concerns of noise and aesthetics. There are several details provided in the applicant's proposal that Staff feels mitigate these concerns. The applicant has provided wide landscaped buffers on the south and east sides that are adjacent to residential areas. A landscape buffer of 22 feet planted with Category IV plantings has been provided adjacent to the apartment complex. A landscape buffer of 60 feet planted with evergreen shrubs and Kramer Red Mill #20 Page 2 of 3 including a 6-foot high masonry column and wood panel fence is provided where the site adjoins the established single-family neighborhood to the east. Also, the applicant has stated that the store hours will be limited to 7:00 am to 7:00 pm and that all work will be done within the building. Staff and the Planning Commission have also recommended several conditions to be included with this use permit that will help maintain the aesthetic quality of the site and ensure continued compatibility of the use with the surrounding area. Staff recommended approval. There was opposition to the proposal. · Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 8-1 to approve this request with the following conditions: 1.

The portion of the road between General Booth Boulevard and Upton Drive was constructed as a four lane divided controlled access roadway by the developers of the adjacent Wal-Mart and regional shopping center. The current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) calls for the continuation of this roadway as a two lane minor arterial from Upton Drive east to Atwoodtown Road. CIP 2-151 - Sandbridqe Corridor Improvements (Partial) includes funding for the City's share of the two- lane roadway. The CIP states that construction of the roadway will be pursued via a cost participation agreement. On May 27, 2003 the Master Transportation Plan was amended to extend Nimmo Parkway east of Atwoodtown Road to Sandbridge Road. This portion of the roadway is designated as a 100 foot wide divided right-of-way with controlled access, bikeway and aesthetic overlay.

Conditional Use Permit South side of Nimmo Parkway District 7 Princess Anne February 11, 2004 REGULAR Joseph Strange: The next item is Item #10. It's a Conditional Use Permit for an automobile repair establishment on property located on the south side of Nimmo Parkway. The applicant is Kramer Red Mill, L.L.C. Dorothy Wood: Mr. Tisdale, welcome. Warren Tisdale: Good aftemoon Madame Chair, members of the Commission. My name is Warren Tisdale and I'm an attorney. I represent the applicant. You see here an application but it was not drawn on a blank slate. You recall this property along with the apartment parcel to the south was rezoned about a year ago. I think it was last March. There are conditions associated with that which the applicant had to deal. Also more recently, the parcel to the west, an Exxon convenience store is being developed. City Council had issued a Conditional Use Permit for that in August of last year. In terms of the impact on us, what we were doing with the situation where we had to develop with guidelines pretty much were all ready set for us. I think what you see with the design in front of you is something which responds to all of those. If you look and actually, this is upside down from the north to the top map that we were just looking at, but if you look to the left, there is a 100 foot drainage easement which you're probably familiar with that runs from the end of Nimmo Parkway. You can see that the whole development is drawn to the right that is away from that drainage easement and towards the road that is going to run between the Exxon convenience store and this facility. We set it up, again worked with Planning staff, and taken into account their comments. We shrank the side so that there is only going to be the lot itself is only going to be the impervious cover percentage is something only like 57 percent, which is extraordinarily low for a piece of property zoned B-2. You may recognize the landscaping along the bottom of the picture. That is the continuation of the landscaping that was required and matches the landscaping that is going to be provided for the Exxon convenience store facility, which is going to be to the right. Similarly, at the top of the picture, again you may recall from the work of the apartments they are going to be on top of this picture. There are garages for the apartments that run along there. Again, the landscaping along the back or along the outside of that matches with what was done with the Exxon facility. Similarly, along the road between us, and Exxon, with the guidance of the developer who retained some contractual rights to approve what it is we're proposing and also the Planning staff and this is the plan that we came up with. I think it's about as low impact then you can get and still be a good B-2 conditional use. Also, you may have looked at it in the informal this morning but also the elevations themselves that were presented. The colors that have Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 2 been proffered are going to match the color whatever the apartments use. The whole idea was to have some sort of unified development adhering colors so the brick and the siding and the other shades are going to match what goes on the apartments, similar 'with the architectural brick shingles are going to match that development. So again, that's another tie-in. This shows the Nimmo Parkway frontage and one of the things that we added again, with input from staff was that we moved the building back a little bit from Nimmo Parkway. We did add the foundation landscaping that you can see on the preliminary plan. Going back to the preliminary plan if you would please, the one thing when we weren't looking into the ]Exxon facility for guidance on landscaping and design. You'll see that there's a fence. Actually, it's a masonry column wood fence that would be on the side of the property towards the drainage ditch. The idea there was that whatever impacts might be on the property across the drainage ditch would be alleviated by construction of the fence. The fence, you can go back to the fence detail that's provided would be a nice looking, six foot structure, again with the same materials and the same colors that was used on the facility. We 'think that the elevations and also the design layout are good. I think with the operation controls that you saw in the conditions when you looked at it this morning, also certainly rnitigate any impact on the adjacent properties. A lot of those, of course you got the standard ones that tie the development to what were proffering here today, in terms of planned elevations. Some of them are verbatim from the Exxon convenience store next door. We also had added there would be no outdoor storage of vehicles, auto parts or fires permitted. All work must be performed within the building. I got that message a little to late to be incorporated in the initial staff. I understand that was a report that you all saw this morning. Also, the hours of operation limited is from 7:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. So, I guess that is what we're bringing to you now. We think that as configured and as conditioned that it presents a logical use for that site, one of which, as conditioned would have less of impact than some other uses that might other be available under zoning B-2. Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Tisdale. Do we have any questions? Warren Tisdale: I should say we did meet Sunday with the Board of the Red Mill Farm Civic League, which I think went real well. It obviously didn't go as well as I thought. I know that they're here to speak. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any questions of Tisdale? Are there other speakers Mr. Strange? Joseph Strange: We hawe speakers in opposition. The first speaker is Marlo Rosales? Did I pronounce that fight? Mario Rosales: It was close enough. Joseph Strange: Okay. Mario Rosales: It will get me to the supper table. Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 3 Dorothy Wood: Thank you. We're happy to have you with us. Marlo Rosales: Madame Chairman, thank you for having me, members of the Planning Commission. Hello. My name is Mario Rosales. I live at 1321 Warner Hall Drive in the Red Mill Farm subdivision. I'm the president of the Red Mill Farm Civic League. I came to comment on this. We do officially for the record do support the effort that they've done. My thanks go out to Barbara Duke and Eric Anderson of Lakeside Construction for working with Mr. Tisdale and Mr. Lipscomb. It's an excellent elevation. It doesn't look like any car repair facility that we've seen in the city. The only thing when we met with him this past weekend, we just had four things that we would like to see addressed more clearly in the proffers. With regard to the no overnight storage of parking, we would like to have them address in there about no drop-offs of cars. I know that early bird specials at some places like Firestones and things like that are prevalent but given the fact that the front of the building does not face any street. We have a crime concern there because especially in our neighborhood now larceny of automobiles and personal property is very prevalent. It's on the rise. With regard to the dumpsters, we're seeing also an increase in the shopping center. People like to throw their personal trash in the dumpster. So, we would like to ask that the enclosure, which he has provided for in the elevations be gated and then locked nightly, so that no one can come in. Also, the hours of operation, while they say right now daily from 7:00 to 7:00 and that was the last letter that I've received. I now understand from 7:30 to 7:30? Warren Tisdale: 7:30 to 7:00. Mario Rosales: 7:30 to 7:00? Okay, thank you. We were told at the meeting that they don't operate on Sundays. Ed Weeden: You got about 45 seconds. Mario Rosales: Thank you. We were told that they don't operate on Sundays so we would like that spelled out in the proffers also, Monday through Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Other than that, it's a good job and everybody is commended for caring for our neighborhood. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Would you please answer questions of Planning Commissioners? Mario Rosales: Sure. Dorothy Wood: Mr. Ripley? Ronald Ripley: The one comment that you made about the gate and locking of the dumpster enclosure, I mean that sounds like a solution but on a practical matter these companies come to pick up their trash have to able to get to it. If they're locked, there are different trucks and nobody has a key. That's probably not a practical solution. Item # 10 Kramer Red Mill//20, L.I_,.C. Page 4 Certainly, enclosing it properly and making sure visually you're okay with it is something that I think we're trying to achieve. Locking the gate could be pretty tough. Mario Rosales: Well, Ibe, lieve Mr. Eric Anderson has that in his commercial development agreement is that the dumpsters only come during the day. The dumpster drivers only come during ~he day. They don't come at night. Ronald Ripley: When they show up and if there is nobody with a key it's a problem. Then you have overflowing and it's a mess. Mario Rosales: That is what we're trying to mitigate because we do see an increase in that especially seagulls now hangout a lot in the parking lot. And, I live directly across and there are four houses that would be directly impacted by this as well. As well as there are a couple of houses directly catty corner to it, as well South Shore Estates, will be directly impacted by this. Ronald Ripley: It's good to hear that the applicant was very cooperative and it looks you all worked together pretty good. We appreciate that. Mario Rosales: Yes. Thank you very much. Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions? Jan? Janice Anderson: Could you explain a little bit more about the activity you call drop-off that you don't want done at the site? Mario Rosales: Right. What we are concerned about is these early bird specials for people who want their cars changed but they don't have time. Like me, I have to be at work by 6:30 in the morning. And, since they don't open up until 7:30, I would like to be able to drop my car off and some people would probably want to drop it off at 7:30 or 8:00 o'clock at night. Since they're not going to allow cars to be left overnight in the parking lot we simply like: to have that taken one step further and not allow cars to be dropped off at all. That could be mitigated with a chain across their entrance because there is only one entrance into that property. It's just something to be addressed to prevent that occurrence. Janice Anderson: You wouldn't be able to drop your car. Mario Rosales: Exactly. But, again this is a car repair business. This isn't just changing tires. There are oil changes, alignment, brake jobs and things like that. It's the last commercial piece of property and all be it the nosiest that hits straight into a residential district. Looking at the property right there you move to the left of the screen you're in the middle of Red Mill Farm and South Shore Estates. So, we want to minimize the impact of a commercial business as much as we can. Item # 10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 5 Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any other questions? Thank you Mr. Rosales. We appreciate you coming down. Joseph Strange: We have two people speaking in opposition. The first one is Carole Normandy. Carole Normandy: Good afternoon. Thanks for taking the time to listen to us today. I brought a few photos. Ed Weeden: Could you identify yourself please? Carole Normandy: I'm Carole Normandy and I live at 1072 Sandoval Drive in South Shore Estates. My property catty comer adjacent to the back and I am right there. So, I have some photos that show my house and neighbors. You can see the proximately and also these three houses here so you can see the proximately to this. My main concern is that I'm opposed to this type of business is the noise level. Our living space in our house, our family room, kitchen, master bedroom are all on that backside of the house. So, the noise of a car tire place, the tire removal noises early in the morning, on the weekends while we're in our family room. The construction that is happening now on the apartment, the noise we can hear it inside the house with the doors and windows shut, the reverse beeping of the trucks or the dump trucks dumping. You can really hear all the noises very clearly. So, if there is a business that's a noisy like that behind our house, we feel that is going to bring down our property values and detrimentally affect our quality of life in our home. So, those are the main concerns. They had addressed working requiring the bay doors to be closed while they're doing the work. You know with a tire place, they are in and out a lot so those doors are opening and closing a lot and the noise is still escaping. Dorothy Wood: Your sound effects were wonderful. Carole Normandy: Thank you. Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions? Janice Anderson: What are the pictures trying to show? Carole Normandy: They just show the proximately of the houses. Janice Anderson: Just how close it is? Carole Normandy: Just how close it is to the proposed site. It's hard to tell when you're looking at it. Dorothy Wood: We go out and visit every site and we did see it. You have lovely homes and they're well maintained. Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 6 Carole Normandy: Well,. thank you. Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions? Thank you very much. Robert Miller: Do you want us to see those pictures? Carole Normandy: Sure, if you would like too. Robert Miller: If you want to, you can give them to us. Dorothy Wood: Make sure you get them back after the meeting. Carole Normandy: They're copies. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Carole Normandy: Thank you. Dorothy Wood: Are there any more speakers? Joseph Strange: The next speaker is Eric Hemmings. Dorothy Wood: Thank you for coming Mr. Hemmings. Eric Hemmings: Thank you very much. Good afternoon Madame Chairperson, congratulations. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Eric Hemmings: Committee members, my name is Eric Hemmings and I'm the Vice President of South Shore Estates and Ms. Normandy, who you just spoke is one of my biggest opponents of this projects. For the record, South Shore Estates doesn't oppose the project. I have several issues that I'll go through really quick with you to kind of discuss that. First and foremost, within the actual proffer reading, the major issue is actually the compatibility with this type of business. In the area being residential and so forth, we don't really feel like as with the Exxon, we don't really feel like that was adequately addressed. We still believe that these two businesses and obviously Exxon was approved in going forward and we believe that this business represents more of a high impact business, not necessarily low impact. Ms. Normandy gave you the sound effects. We are concerned with that with the noise and so forth so, the major compatibility. I had spoken with Mario, who is at Red Mill Farms and 'we agree with that if we can get some sort of condition put in there that if and when this is approved that there be no drop-off. We; felt strongly about that as well. And, we would like also in the conditions if we could actually have the doors closed at all times. Again, if and when this project is approved if the work could be done in doors at all times, which I believe is one Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 7 of the conditions but if we could have the actual condition be that the actual bay door are closed to reduce the noise. The third thing seems to be that there is some confusion about the operating hours. We had originally been told 6:00 p.m. and I guess that was a mistake and it has gone back to 7:00 p.m. We would like 6:00 so people can get home from work and have dinner and so forth or sit on their deck and have dinner and not have to listen to that type of noise so we would push for 6:00 o'clock. Ed Weeden: You have just about 45 seconds. Eric Hemmings: I guess the last thing I would like to make is that Eric has done a great job out there. Mr. Anderson and we appreciate his help and think he's done a great job but again, our long term goals is really to preserve that last lot that's at the end of the lake. We just really and if you remember the last time we were up here we kind of pushed the Council for that as well. We really like him next to when he comes up to really have a legitimate low impact business at the end of that lake because it is a beautiful property. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Would you mind answering questions from the Commission? Eric Hemmings: Absolutely. Dorothy Wood: Do we have any questions? I believe the hours are 7:30 in the morning until 7:30 in the evening. Eric Hemmings: I've heard a few things. We originally got to 6:00 p.m. I think the agreement says 7:00 - 7:00, and then I've heard other things since. We would like 6:00 p.m. Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. Are there any other questions? Thank you so much for coming. Eric Hemmings: Thank you very much. Dorothy Wood: Mr. Tisdale, would you like to rebut? Warren Tisdale: First thing time. I regret that I must have miscommunicated with Ms. Duke. It is 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., not 7:30 p.m. So, it's 7:30 to 7:00. I appreciate all the points that have been made. Again, this project was developed basically in response in anticipation of those comments because it is a residential neighborhood across this drainage ditch. Most of you have probably been out there one time or another and unless you get there and it is next door but there is a huge lake. There is this huge drainage ditch. It's 100-foot easement. We're 60 feet further in. The building itself is another 60 feet so all of that together at least from the Red Mill Farms backyard you're at least 200- 300 feet or something like that. The South Shore Estates, again they're across what is Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 8 Nimmo Parkway that impact should be less. The work will be done inside. I don't think it's feasible to keep the doors shut while they're working on the cars all the time. All the work is done inside and we think it's far enough away that it is not going to generate aggravated noise or noise that annoys people. Again, the Sunday hours and I can tell you that Kramer Tire does not open on Sunday. None of its locations are open on Sunday. It's not anticipated that it's going to happen but in terms of the market what might happen in 5 or 10 years, if everybody else starts doing it they may have to in order to be competitive. They might have to come back and get it modified in each of the 6 or 7 locations that they have iht Virginia Beach. This is a local company. They work and live in this community and have a lot of businesses in this opportunity so they're very much interested in staying in good terms with everybody. The dumpster issue, again, we proffered the elevations and how that enclosure is going to look. It's going to be nice. I guess if it's the Commission's desire we could go with some sort of security setup for it. I don't think it's going to be quite the draw because it's on the other side. It's not going to be obvious where the dumpster is. Also, as the seagulls, we don't have any food waste. We don't have an3' paper like the convenience store next door would have so we probably won't have the kind of materials there that would draw that kind of nuisance also. So, I guess the upshot is that I appreciate all the comments that have been made. We're hopeful that conditions and the significant work that we've done with Eric Anderson and the staff and the positive staff report would lead you to give a favorable recommendation. Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Tisdale. Are there any questions? Robert Miller: Can you go back to the site plan please? You gave us two elevations. What side are the doors on? I assume they were on the side towards the access way. Warren Tisdale: If you look at one elevation, this is actually the front. This where you come in, the doors are going to be here and here. Robert Miller: So there are doors to drive all the way through? Warren Tisdale: Correct. Robert Miller: In the norraal course of operations, would the doors on the back side, towards the drainage easement on the left as your looking at it, would those be closed during the normal course of operations while you have people driving in and then you open them to drive car out? I'm just trying to ask an operational question because I think it affects the noise issue. Warren Tisdale: My experience is that some are open and some are closed, very infrequently would all of them be closed. Robert Miller: They wouldn't be open all the time is what I'm to get out of that side. Normally, they would be closed. Is that the normal operational standard that you follow? Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 9 Warren Tisdale: I refer to Julian Lipscomb who' s the Vice President of Property Development of Kramer Tire. Robert Miller: If you wouldn't, I think it goes to the noise question, if he could come up? Dorothy Wood: Mr. Lipscomb, would you please come to the podium? Julian Lipscomb: Madame Chairman, gentlemen. I'm Julian Lipscomb. I'm the one of the Vice Presidents. I think there's another one as well. I'm retired except for development of property. And to answer your question we deliberately positioned this store on this piece of property to minimize any of the sound. As you said, the left and right and our doors are right and left there. The right side faces the back of the Exxon store to begin with. We moved the building. We were using more of the property but we deliberately moved the building over quite a ways. Then we increased this plantation and we added a fence all in an effort to minimize any sort of sound. To keep the doors and to get back to your question, to keep the doors close Mr. Miller, when you're changing cars from one bay to the other bay to the next bay, some doors are going up and down constantly. And, you would be changing tires in this bay and the doors open on the second bay. It really doesn't serve any purpose. We don't think we generate enough noise to be of any concern period. Number two you'll see we're adequately bermed with plantation all around. All of this is a sound damper as well as beauty. We think we have addressed all of these problems. We hope we have. We're trying to be good neighbors and that property could be easily a McDonald's or something. It would be a lot more trouble than a 7:30 to 7:00 hours. They would be open all the time with a sound speaker and everything else. Robert Miller: I think you all have done and I want to give you the proper credit Mr. Lipscomb. You all have done a great job working with Red Mill as they acknowledged and some of the other neighbors. I think the neighbor's concern towards the noise as it was heard last night may be a individual noise situation at one point in time. But what I was trying to understand was your operational side of things and what you've explained is very, very good. I think you did a great job with the architectural design of it. The layout seems to be filling a lot of the issues that we were concerned with and certainly the landscaping and the fence along the backside adds an additional level of comfort to it. I'm satisfied with your answer. I didn't mean to and anything you do operationally is really something that we don't understand. That is why I asked the question was how those doors would go and could they be closed all the time? I assumed during certain times of the year it's probably advantageous to have them closed like during the winter. Julian Lipscomb: In the winter, they will be closed. Robert Miller: And, then during the summer at times that it may be somewhat advantageous unfortunately to have them open. So, you all don't have a restriction on when making them closed. Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 10 Julian Lipscomb: No. Robert Miller: Thank you. Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions for Mr. Lipscomb or Mr. Tisdale? Gene? Eugene Crabtree: I was going to ask this question. I was going to address the thing of drop-off. I know that it's common practice with Kramer for their other stores to have the drop-off facility to benefit their customers that have to go to work early. I also know that most of the Kramer stores have an area where when people drop-off that they park their cars where a visible area and out so that security won't be a problem of someone possibly breaking in to them or stealing them. If you were to have drop-off, could you have the drop-off in one of your parking spaces that would be visible to the Exxon operation as well or be visible sufficiently that you would eliminate vandalism or theft? Warren Tisdale: I think we could probably designate spaces for drop-off. Again, the scale of drop-offs and I know a lot of the car dealerships use them now and a lot of people get there early and see them stacked up. A location like this and I think if they handle 30 cars a day or sold 37 tires a day they would be extremely happy. You're not talking about 10 people dropping their cars off in the morning. There may be some and as a courtesy to the custotner they would like to retain the right to do that. And some of them could be early with military personnel in the area and going to work early. They might have to drop them off early. I'm sure they could designate certain spaces, which have the best visibility from the Exxon station, again, which would be open to maybe along the road may be cut in there. Normally, people will do that probably anyway as they park their cars. Eugene Crabtree: I'm looking at this from the customer standpoint. It is a benefit to customers who have to be at work early to be able to do that. I just wanted there to be someplace where it would be visible that would not objectionable to the community. Julian Lipscomb: Mr. Crabtree, let me address that, Julian Lipscomb again. What we would propose is that people who have to make that choice would park in front of that first bay. That's where the drop-off facility, I mean the place for the keys and what not. So they would immediately park in front of the bays. It would be clearly visible except for whatever Exxon puts up on their piece of property. But that is where it would be. Eugene Crabtree: Thank you sir. Julian Lipscomb: Are there any other questions? William Din: Let me ask you this question Mr. Tisdale. We were handed a sheet of revised conditions here. You've seen them correct? It has nine conditions on. there. Warren Tisdale: And that's correct, except for the 7:30 p.m. It should be 7:00 o'clock. Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 11 William Din: I wanted to make sure that you saw that it said 7:30 to 7:00 p.m., I guess, but it doesn't specify the days of operation. Warren Tisdale: Correct. William Din: I think they were asking and you sort of agreed that there would be no Sunday operations. Warren Tisdale: My client's position is that they don't want to limit themselves to six days a week at the same time they don't operate on Sunday now and there is no intention too. They want to avoid having to come back and get that condition changed if the market changes and that is what their competitors do. William Din: So you want to leave it open in other words and not specify the days of operation? Warren Tisdale: Correct, with the understanding that with anything I would add would be a limitation so you could say seven days a week to be more clear about it. William Din: Okay. Number 8 was modified to add that there was no storage of vehicles outside. I'm not sure if drop-off is considered storage or not. Warren Tisdale: I would suspect it's not. What that means if they're working on a car and it's going to be there all night and they can't get to it or it's a kind of job that takes more than one day or from one afternoon to the next morning, that would not be parked outside. Any cars like that would be kept inside. William Din: So, if they had to be kept overnight, you would move them inside? Warren Tisdale: Definitely. William Din: I guess I didn't understand that there were doors on the left hand side of your building there, the side facing the drainage area. Warren Tisdale: Yes. William Din: Obviously, if you have work going on during the day those doors would be normally closed. I would consider those normally closed doors to keep the noise down to the absolute minimum and only operate them to allow vehicles to go in and out. Is that correct? Warren Tisdale: I think that's correct. I think the default position is that they be closed. It may depend on the weather. Again, they may more activity on some days than others but generally I don't think them coming in the morning and opening up all the doors. We can wait and see what happens. Item # 10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 12 William Din: Thank you. Warren Tisdale: The doors are closed until they need to be open. William Din: I rather see that as a written policy in the conditions rather than leave that as an open statement of understanding of operation that you would have there because that does face the residential area if anything. I can understand that during some periods of time that the doors on the right side could be left open but even those situations you're going to have a lot of noise coming out of there when you're changing tires. If you have doors facing the residential area I don't think there' s enough landscaping or fencing there to keep any noise from going directly across there and I think that it would be too much. Warren Tisdale: To address your point, there is no denying that the use of this automobile related use and it does create noise but I don't know if you've been around one of those. I guess everyone drops their cars off now and then but there is some noise generated even if the door is open. But it is contained on three sides and it drops off dramatically the further away you get. I think sometimes we think of these noises from what we hear standing outtside while somebody is working on a hot car inside and it sounds real loud. Again, you're talking through the backyard of the nearest neighbors in the Red Farms area. If you go from their backyard, first of all you got a 100 tbot drainage easement and then you got on our side 60 feet before you even get to the parking lot and then you got another before you get to the bays. I think you got another 60 feet. So, you're talking 220 feet and sound travels. I'm not saying you'll never hear it but I think what we're dealing with is a baseline and maybe over emphasizing how loud it is going to be. I guess in response to your question and your question is whether we could build into the proffer a policy. An operational policy to within reasons at all times that when they're being used. They don't need to be open to keep them closed. William Din: These are conditions and maybe the conditions can be modified. When I look at the elevations in rny agenda item on page 12, could you go back to the elevations? That doesn't look like doors there. Is that the backside? Warren Tisdale: That's the Nimmo side. William Din: The Nimmo side. You didn't show the backside. Warren Tisdale: We don't have one of the back side. But yes, they run all the way through which it wasn't clear on the preliminary plan. I apologize. It should be clear on the preliminary plan. That is what we call the front. But again, that faces the Exxon. This is meeting other design considerations or other pressures. The building is turned this way so that the opening is away from the houses but that presents the other elevations that you have in your packet is the Nimmo Parkway appearance. We don't have one of the back side. William Din: Will the backside look very similar to this? Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 13 Warren Tisdale: You'll have the five but I guess you won't have the blue band or the sides or anything but you will have the bays that will look like that. Yes. It will basically go all the way through. William Din: Okay. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. William Din: Thank you. Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions? Mr. Horsley? Donald Horsley: Go back to the zoning map Stephen if you would? You said from the backs on the yards, the people who live to the fight of the B-2 that is in red, from the back side there to where your building is going to be, how many 200 something feet? Warren Tisdale: Well, I'm saying that I believe that is a 100 foot drainage easement right there, that big huge distance back there. I didn't measure but that is how it appears on every plan that I've seen. It says 100 foot. And if you look at our preliminary plan from there to where the parking starts there is another 60 feet. I think that it is mentioned in the staff report. And, then from where the parking lot starts to where you actually get to the building, again roughly scaling it off, I think it's another 50 to 60 feet. So, together that would be 200 feet. Donald Horsley: Yes, if all those figures are close to being correct. Warren Tisdale: Two thirds of a football field. Donald Horsley: My only other question that I have and out of all the B-2 property in this area, was this your number one choice or this what was left over? Warren Tisdale: Initially, in working with the developer, there was a site which Kramer Tire and I wasn't involve with it but I understand it was proposed on Upton for various reasons. Some of them, I understand proposed by the City and had it been a good idea. They definitely wanted to locate in this area. Again, the property was rezoned Bo2 fairly recently. Everybody went through there land use analysis and I'm not sure what the recommendation was here but City Council said that we understand that's a B-2 parcel. It's next to the residences but the way we can make people condition it so it's not an impact. Somebody made the judgment that was a B-2 parcel. Dorothy Wood: Mr. Strange, did you have a question for Mr. Tisdale? Joseph Strange: Yes. I'd like to go back to the Sunday hours for a minute. I would think that the residents would at least like to have some type of assurance that they would be at Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.iL.C. Page 14 least modified hours on Sunday even if they couldn't get the assurance on when you would be open at all. Warren Tisdale: I guess 'we never thought that far into thinking about that. Something in the lines of if it was open on Sunday, it would 12:00 to 6:00? Joseph Strange: That would be at least something. Julian Lipscomb: We have not considered that because we don't open on Sundays. We never even thought about opening on Sundays. I'm sorry we can't answer that because we've thought about it because we don't see a necessity for that at this point. Another thing we didn't want to see traffic blocked up for something that wouldn't be beneficial for some of the homes. We don't know if some of the owner had it or something. We have no intention of opening on Sundays, at this point. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any other questions for either Mr. Tisdale or Mr. Lipscomb? Thank you both. Is there any discussion? Mr. Rosales, we normally don't allow people to come back unless they have new information or sponsored by a member of the Planning Commission. Joseph Strange: I'll sponsor him. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Mario Rosales: Thank you Mr. Strange. I do have some new information. When we met and could we please go back to the elevation to what they call the side elevation please? Okay, when we met with them last Saturday that was represented to us by Mr. Tisdale but that was the back. So, therefore we had the civic league, the Board of Directors had no real issue with the noise problem because that was represented to us and we specifically asked that, "is that the back?" We positioned it when we laid out the site plan on the floor. We had the front elevation and we had a copy of the rear elevation and he confirmed it visually. And, we asked the question specifically if that was a solid wall and they said yes. But if this is the side, then the deal is off. It's a deal breaker to have the door running through the back because there will be noise through there and that would be our issue. That was our first concern for the four houses. That right there was presented to us as being the rear elevation. And, if it's an oversight, I'm sure it was an honest hone. But, it changes our perspective. Dorothy Wood: Thank you very much. Mario Rosales: Thank you. Warren Tisdale: I understand he's withdrawing and that's another comment. But let me say that at the meeting Sunday with all the things spread there may have been an misunderstanding but I've always known that was the Nimmo Parkway side and never in Item #10 Kramer Red Mill #20, L.L.C. Page 15 my wildest dreams have I told somebody that looking at that I would have never told him. If there was a misunderstanding and that is certain that is exactly what it was. I never told anybody that was the side the faces the residences. Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Tisdale. Let's open it up for discussion. Mr. Miller? Robert Miller: I'll take on the low hanging fruit here. The hours of operation 7:30 to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday and what I would suggest that condition read and as such time they would want to be open on Sunday, you can come back. I think Mr. Lipscomb was very clear and Mr. Tisdale also that is not the normal course of our operations. I wanted to get that out of the way. The back doors and my opinion is that what we have the state is that those doors need to be closed as a matter of course that is the normal condition of those doors. And, that they would be closed during operations within the reasonability of being able to be closed. In other words, when you're working on the vehicles inside that those doors would be close and at that would be a condition of this approval were it to be approved. As far as the trash collector goes, I'm not personally in favor of putting locks on things and evidentially to find some bolt cutters and break them off and things like that. I think that's a responsibility of the owner. These people are investing in this property. I know the Kramer Tire people have been around here for many, many years and run a very, very nice operation. I think they are taking a lot of pride in the way they presented this particular facility. So, I can't see that being a problem. Seagulls are something we love and enjoy in Virginia Beach and I'm not going to pick on seagulls. They can be wherever they want to be. I think the issue with regard to what was presented to the civic league, or what was understood by the civic league, is something that I feel is something, I just don't feel we can address. I personally feel like I'm going to support this with those additional conditions. If I missed anything else I'm sure somebody will catch that. Oh, the drop-offs, excuse me. I did miss that one thing. I don't have a problem with drop-offs. I think that is part of what would be reasonable in this type of business. I think as Mr. Lipscomb says that it be kept at the front of the building towards the Exxon station is exactly where I would want them to be done. If that becomes an issue of them being dropped off for extended periods of time, that's already covered in the conditions that you're not going to be able to keep vehicles there. I think that is adequate that we be able to drop vehicles off at the site would be fine with me. I believe they have done a good job with the project. I'm not thrilled with the Nimmo Parkway side of this building but I guess that is what everybody wanted. I guess I'll go along with that and the rest of the operational things as so stated. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Mr. Crabtree? Eugene Crabtree: I just say I support exactly what Bob said and the conditions and the rewording of the conditions as he specified. I also will support this thing. I think Kramer has done a good job on this one. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is there any other discussion? Mr. Din? Item #10 Kramer Red Mill//20, L.L.C. Page 16 William Din: I guess the condition for the closed doors on the left side will be addressed between now and Council so I'll agree with that. When I first looked at this elevation I thought this was the backside facing the residential area also and that is why until it was revealed that the doors would be passing through. It was kind of a surprise to me also. I think with the closed doors it should help that situation out. I do believe the tire changing operation is allowed operation and I'm not sure that I can support the type of noise that will be generated here but I think we are trying to mitigate this. I think we will try to do a good job with the neighbors here. I'll be supporting this thing with the conditions that noise be attenuated with tlhe closed doors. Dorothy Wood: Mr. Ripley? Ronald Ripley: I don't think I would comment. I thought Will was saying something to be resolved between now and City Council but if I understood Mr. Miller, the doors on the east side of this building need to remain closed at all times where possible.. That is what we're talking about. They need to let cars in and let cars out after they serviced them. William Din: I would like to see there is that the doors be normally closed except when open to allow vehicles to leaVe and enter. Dorothy Wood: Is there any other discussion? Stephen White: Madame Chairperson, can I propose at the end of Condition//8 that it will simply state, "garage door facing the east side of the building must remain closed except for the purpose of 'vehicles entering and exiting the building." Ronald Ripley: That's good. Joseph Strange: I have one other question. How are the customers going to know where they drop the cars off?. How are they going to be directed to make sure that the cars being dropped off are minimal effect in the neighborhood? Julian Lipscomb: We assume they would make arrangements verbally and of course we have a letter slot and a personnel door right at that corner, which is the logical place to dispose of their keys or leave their keys. Now of course, right in front of the first bays is the logical place, as you know, we're not a motor company because we don't get a whole line of cars. I wish we did but we don't. Joseph Strange: Most of these places do have a place marked either with a yellow line or something for them to come in. Julian Lipscomb: We do too. Joseph Strange: Okay. That is what I was talking about. Item # 10 Kramer Red Mill//20, L.L.C. Page 17 Julian Lipscomb: A letter drop for their car keys and a sign. Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Lipscomb. Is there any other discussion? Donald Horsley: I'll just make one comment. I'm not real excited about putting this facility that close the neighborhood. I know it is B-2 property and we could have some other things in there. The staff and the applicant seems like they've done an outstanding job of trying to blend this into neighborhood. I would much rather seen this over in the shopping center area. I think it would benefit over there but there's no room for it over there. Knowing the track record that Kramer Tire has in the lengths they have gone to trying to accommodate the neighborhood and the wishes of the Planning staff, I'm going to say that I'm going to be in support of the application. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Do I hear a motion? Robert Miller: I'd like to move for the approval of Item #10 Kramer Red Mill with the 9 conditions we had and the modification of Condition #8, third sentence, "garage doors on the east side of the building will be closed except for vehicles entrance and exit." Modification of Condition #9, "hours of operation will be 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday." The addition of Condition #10, that the drop-offs will be limited to the area on the west side of the building with appropriate signage and identification of where the vehicles to be dropped off. Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Miller. Do I hear a second? Donald Horsley: I'll second it. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is the vote open?

No trees or wetlands are present. The site exists primarily as lawn. The site is in an AICUZ of less than 65dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. Summary of Proposal ' !;i, The applicant is proposing to operate a small used motor vehicle sales business on what are now two adjacent pieces of property. The site is currently zoned B-2 Community Business District with approximately 232 feet of frontage along Virginia Beach Boulevard. The application indicates that they will have 10 employees and plan to have as many as 50 vehicles for sale on the property. The number of vehicles may change as a result of adherence to all final site plan review requirements including screening and landscaping as set forth by the City Zoning Ordinance. The proposed hours of operation are: Monday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The existing dwelling wilt serve as the office for the sales business. Modifications are minor and include new doors and windows. The height of the building will not change and is not permitted to be above 35 feet according to the B-2 Community Business District requirements. SHORELINE INVESTMENT Agenda Item # 6 Page 2 Major Issues The foflowing represent the significant issues identified by the staff conceming this request. Staff's evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these issues are adequately addressed. · Compatibility with surrounding land uses and existing zoning. · Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. · Aesthetics and screening of the proposal. · Efficient and safe internal access and circulation for pedestrians and vehicles. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan identifies these parcels as Primary Residential Area. The land use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area. In a general sense, the established type, size, and relationship of land use, both residential and non-residential, located in and around these neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering future development. Staff Evaluation" Staff recommends approval of this request. SHORELINE INVESTMENT Agenda Item # 6 Page 3 Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials, adequately addresses each of the 'Major Issues' identified above. The proposal's strengths in addressing the 'Major Issues' are (1) The site is adjacent to single-family dwellings to the south; however, the property does have approximately 232 feet of frontage along the extremely commercialized Virginia Beach Boulevard corridor. The need to protect the existing residential community is important, and the existing screening, the proposed landscaping and proposed screening accompanied by the recommended conditions give Staff a high level of comfort that this type of business can operate on this site without negatively impacting the adjacent properties. (2) The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area of Virginia Beach Boulevard as highly commercial and important to the City's economic vitality. All new commercial development in this area should be consistent with the goal of providing an attractive, safe, and quality physical environment. The proposal is a small-scale operation, oriented towards Virginia Beach Boulevard. Additionally, the existing site is not well kept. With the applicant's investment in site work, architectural modifications to the existing building and the addition of landscaping and screening, the site's appearance will improve. Finally, as Virginia Beach Boulevard has grown and evolved, particularly in this part of the City, transitioning this property from residential to a commercial use is in line with current trends and policies. (3) As stated above, modifications to the structure will not change the scale or mass of the building thereby minimizing the potential for any negative visual impacts on adjacent properties. Also aiding to improve the overall aesthetics of the site will be the required screening along the rear property line, adjacent to the residential dwellings, as well as the installation of streetscape landscaping along Virginia Beach Boulevard, Toy Avenue and Sedgefield Avenue. A condition is recommended below that will require a minimum landscape strip ten (10) feet wide be installed along each right-of-way, planted in accordance with the standards for streetscape landscaping as set forth in the City's Landscape Guide. (4) Currently, there are two access points on Virginia Beach Boulevard. The submitted plan indicates that one of these will be removed. Based on the above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the recommended conditions below.

Joseph Strange: The next application is Item #6, which is a Conditional Use Permit for a vehicle sales operation. Dorothy Wood: This is for Shoreline Investments. R.J. Nutter: Thank you. Again, for the record, my name is R.J. Nutter and I'm an attorney. I represent Shoreline Investments, L.L.C. We did have the opportunity to hear your comments this morning in the early morning session so I'll try to be real brief on our presentation. I did want to highlight a couple of things for you. There is no opposition signed up on this case. Actually, my clients in this case have purchased two adjacent parcels that are both zoned Unconditional B-2 as you see on the board. And, this is the office to the car business at this location. We tried to meet with both adjacent property owners and only one has returned their calls and this Mr. Johnson who lives right here, who has no objection to the application. In fact, he is very much pleased with the improvements that they are planning for the property and you have seen on the van trip. I guess it's just a little pressured by the events of the Boulevard for residential properties. I did want to stand up and let you know that we had done that and we have fully worked with staff on this application and the conditions. To let you know that we will be complying with all those conditions, which are very significant and that they list all the restrictions that they place on used car facilities and new car facilities as well. In addition to that outline, exactly how the building in this case will be remodeled to provide for the office for this facility, using that facility, and if there are any changes in the building they will have to come back to the process. They understand those restrictions. They accept them readily. They readily understand the signage restrictions as well. They're putting in actually a very nice solid fence across the rear property line. It's actually a very nice fiberglass dense, very, very nice fence with landscaping. In fact, Mr. Johnson's property is right here. They were very concerned about that and when they saw the landscaping/fencing they felt much, much better. So, at any rate, I just wanted to let you know that we fully intend to comply with all the conditions. Otherwise, we're very, very happy to have staff's recommendation and no opposition. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have. Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions for Mr. Nutter? Item #6 Shoreline Investments, L.L.C. Page 2 R.J. Nutter: Yes, Mr. Miller? Robert Miller: I'm the one who was heading up the discussion this morning and I talked to Jeffbriefly about it. I think the biggest thing is that I want to make sure the documentation you normally present and as your owners would want to present, I think they have done a real good job of conforming to the standards and the conditions and so forth, and that certainly meets all the goals and intention. So, prior to going to Council, it probably would be helpful to have a little better picture of some of this stuff so that it would answer some of the,' questions with a realistic depiction of what would 'be coming. R.J. Nutter: Mr. Miller, we appreciate that since in this case one of my clients have flown in from out of town. So, we appreciate that. Robert Miller: I think the use is very appropriate and I said that this morning. I don't have a problem with the use. I'm glad you talked to the adjacent property owner. I hope you will talk to both of them before you can get to Council but I think we understand Virginia Beach Boulevard very well and feel that this is a great addition to the economy and the Boulevard. R.J. Nutter: Well thank you very much. We appreciate it. Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions for Mr. Nutter? Thank you Mr. Nutter. R.J. Nutter: My pleasure. Dorothy Wood: Any opposition? Are there any other speakers? Joseph Strange: No opposition and no other speakers. Dorothy Wood: I'll open it up for discussion. Robert Miller: I'd like to make a motion for approval of the application. Ronald Ripley: Second.

CVBDA Agenda Item # 1 Page 2 Major Issues The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this request. Staff's evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these issues are adequately addressed. · Consistency with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for the area. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area as Strategic Growth Area 4, Pembroke Area. The area is comprised of three sub-areas including Town Center, the West Pembroke area and Bonney Road West corridor. This request is located within the Town Center area. The Plan recommends the vertical and horizontal integration of urban designed uses including office, retail, restaurant, entertainment, residential, cultural, education, leisure, and open space. Well-designed, centralized parking structures coupled with urban streetscapes are recommended to accommodate pedestrian movement in a safe, interesting and attractive environment. Proffers The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to "offset identified CVBDA Agenda Item # 1 Page 3 problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable," (§107(h)(1)). Should this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning. PROFFER # 1 The Property shall be developed in conformity with the standards, policies and recommendations of (i) the Comprehensive Plan (December 2003), (ii)the Pembroke Central Business District Master Plan, and (iii) the Central Business District Urban Design Guidelines, City of Virginia Beach, prepared by CMSS Architects, P.C., dated May 1, 2003. In addition, the quality and architectural style and character of improvements constructed on the Property shall be substantially in conformity with that of Phase I and II of the Town Center of Virginia Beach project. Staff Evaluation of Proffers: The proffer is acceptable as it insures that development of the site will be consistent with the overall Town Center project in accordance with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, the Pembroke Central Business District Master Plan, and the Central Business District Urban Design Guidelines. City Attorney's Office: The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the proffer agreement dated October 21, 2003, and found it to be legally sufficient and in acceptable legal form. Staff Evaluation Staff recommends approval of this request. Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials and the proffers, adequately addresses the Major Issue noted earlier in this report. The parcel was not available for purchase during the initial planning of the Town Center project. With the purchase of the site by the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority, the parcel can now be incorporated into the larger project. The request to rezone the site from its current B-3 Central Business District to Conditional B-3A Pembroke Central Business District, as proffered, insures that any project proposed for CVBDA Agenda Item # 1 Page 4 the site will be consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for the Town Center area. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request. NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of appficable City Ordinances.
