Laskin Road Phase I (Republic Road to Oriole Drive)
Laskin Road Phase II (Oriole Drive to Little Neck Creek)
Laskin Road Gateway
Norfolk Avenue/Birdneck Road intersection
Initial multi-modal/aesthetic improvements to 1 gth Street
Traffic signal upgrades
Upgrade transit system
*The majority of these are already funded, are included in the Capital Improvement Program and moving
toward implementation. The NorfolkAvenue/BirdneckRoad intersection is notfunded as a part ofBirdneck
Road and will require some additional funding. This is not an expensive project. The initial multi-
modal/aesthetic improvements to 1 gth Street ( if City Council decides to move in this direction) would be
linked in some manner to the upgrade of the transit system and would need to be funded in some fas hion to
complement this other work. Traffic signal upgrades are funded. Over the next several years, the financial
demands on the City Council would be fairly modest and the City would still be making progress, The next
ten (10) years are critical.
2nd Phase 2010-2020
l'lh Street/Virginia Beach Boulevard improvements
2010-2012 Pacific Avenue/Atlantic Avenue gridlock issue
2(Jh Street extension
Arctic Avenue improvements from l'lh Street to 22nd Street

Mr. Block advised depending on the timing, financial assistance might be available in the Urban Program
on Virginia Beach Boulevard. There is probably one critical issue ahead of this that is not currently
programmed: the Lesner Bridge. Depending upon the City Council's choice on Atlantic and Pacific, a fairly
small amount or a large amount offunds might be involved. In 1996, a study concerning upgrading Pacific
Avenue illustrated a cost of $60-MILLION" Mr. Block estimates this cost would now be $80 to $100-
MILLION to develop into a major thoroughfare with capacity significant to move all the traffic.
The City Manager advised that according to the surveys at the Oceanfront, participants are citing the
difficulty of getting into the region as a reason of not returning to the Oceanfront,
Mr. Block advised if the comprehensive approach is taken on Pacific Avenue to redo and make adequate
the long term capacity needs versus a one-way pair, it would entail approximately 15 to 20 times the cost.
The cost of one-waying would be approximately $5 to $6-MILLION Mr. Block advised if only the one-way
pairing is done and no other improvements anywhere in the system, Atlantic and Pacific would work very
well and other parts of the system would begin to degrade, A graph shall be provided Members of City
Council. Relative the Lesner Bridge, there is a recommendation to begin planning in the upcoming fiscal
year and the City has requested the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) include the Lesner
Bridge in the City Council's 6-year plan. If "money were no object" the design would entail ten (l0) years,
with acquiring right-of-way, building and permitting. However, currently funds are not available.
Relative this RESORT AREA MOBILITY PLAN (RAMP), the study was accomplished with the assistance
of outside expertise and by City Staff Mr. Block shall advise the cost. Council Lady McClanan advised
residents of the Northend have advised some of the best retail at the Oceanfront is located on Laskin Road.
Council Lady McClanan advised a company, with visionary ideas, is corresponding with City Council and
wishes to develop off Laskin Road. The opinions of the residents who live and work here should be
considered. Mr. Block advised many public meetings have been held and additional meetings will be
provided.

Bus Rapid Transit
2:13 P.M.
ITEM # 53749
Councilman Maddox advised the vast majority of business owners in the Resort are tenants. They do not own
the land.
Vice Mayor Jones advised approximately $40-MILLION was expended on Atlantic Avenue over the last ten
(10) years. Vice Mayor Jones is going to find it difficult to spend $75-MILLION to tear all this up.
Councilman Maddox concurred and one-waying should be tried in the beginningfor a for lesser cost of
approximately $5-MILLION
The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has been the subject of much speculation and misinformation. This Briefing
encompasses the future of transit in Virginia Beach and the region. This transit is commencing at the Resort
due to an aging trolley fleet which needs replacement, Any viable transportation in the City needs an east-
west component. The notion of being able to connect economic engines in our City is a strong idea. An
efficient Resort transportation system is needed. This would also be a means of moving convention
delegates throughout the Resort. This Briefing is the culmination of 2-years of study and is a conservative
analysis. The financial model utilizes the most expensive BRT model, route as well as a conservative
replacement cost for the trolleys ($350,000 each). Twenty-two (22) stakeholder meetings have been
conducted in the last twelve (12) months (Visions "twice ", the Chamber of Commerce, Resort Advisory
Commission and their Transportation Subcommittee, Hotel/Motel Association "five times ", Retail and
Restaurant Association. Councilman Maddox distributed a Vehicle Analysis:

Councilman Maddox read into the record correspondence from Senator Kenneth W. Stolle dated April 1,
2005. Said letter is hereby made a part of the record. The $10-MILLION that was included in the
Governor's budget for the BRT program was the largest earmarked for a mass transit program outside
Northern Virginia. The funding cannot be used for any purpose other than BRT. The General Assembly
supported this appropriation largely based on the merits of the program and because of the resolution
adopted by the majority of City Council supporting the prioritization of this program.
Councilman Maddox introduced the representatives in attendance: Chad Edison from AECOM, William
Cashman - Principal Transportation Planner - and Ray Amaruso - URS, Inc.; Michael Townes, Executive
Director, Lester Durant and Jayne Whitney - Chief Development Officer - representing Hampton Roads

Michael Townes, Executive Director - Hampton Roads Transit, advised the standard rolling stock, the 40-
foot bus, isfunded through the normal Capital Replacement program, substantially 80% Federal and 20%
derived from a Capital Fund built by charging each City a proportionate share of its annual depreciation
of our Capital assets. The City pays this with the Operating Fund which creates a pool utilized as a match.
In the case of speciality vehicles such as the ferries operating on the Elizabeth River, the Electric Buses
in downtown Norfolk and the trolley buses in Virginia Beach, the capital costs for all these vehicles has
been borne directly by those jurisdictions. Mr. Townes advised re the Norfolk-Southern right-ofway
acquisition, cordial and constructive discussions with the railroad are being conducted. Relative building
additional park-n-ride facilities is the responsibility of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT),
The VDOT Regional District Administrator and the HRT President and Chief Executive Officer are working
hard on a shared concept.
James Ricketts, Director - Convention and Visitors Bureau, advised the cost of the Charter Buses are
increasing rangingfrom $500 to $700 per day. This bus usually has a capacity offorty-jive (45) passengers.
This is usually a negotiated item. Sometimes a convention meeting planner will pay, at times the City, and
other times might be a combination of both. National conventions are anticipating reducing costs,
Jayne Whitney - HRT's Chief Development Officer, stated, relative the BRT, a project of similar size to
expand to other areas of the city would encompass approximately 2-~ years.

at a density no greater than one (1) dwelling unit per five (5) acres of
developable land.

CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING
JOINT LAND USE STUDY (JLUS) POLICY COMMITTEE
ITEM # 53750 (Continued)
>75 dB DNL Noise Zone: Residential development limited to one (1)
dwelling unit per fifteen (15) acres of developable land unless the City
Council determines that such density is unreasonable and that no other
use (non-residential) is reasonable. In such a case, allowed density
would be the minimum reasonable density.
Where the subject property lies within more than one Noise Zone,
dwelling units must be located in lower Noise Zones if practicable.
Resort Area
The total number of residential units will not exceed the aggregate
number of units allowed under current zoning. The City will endeavor
to work with all stakeholders to reduce the number of residential units
significantly below that number through zoning ordinance
amendments.
The Navy shall be among the stakeholders involved in the revision of
the Oceanfront Resort Area Concept Plan dated June 28,1994.
The AICUZ Overlay Ordinance would represent a significant increase in the extent to which AICUZ-
related considerations govern land use decisions in Virginia Beach.
It would also ensure that, in cases in which development may not be recommended by the AICUZ guidelines,
the approval by the City Council will be at the lowest reasonable density or intensity.
The Proposed Statement of Understanding was distributed to City Council.
The City Attorney advised the Proposed Statement of Understanding is ajoint effort of the Navy (Captain
Keeley) and the City staff. As a result of the Proposed Statement of Understanding, a concept of the AICUZ
Overlay Ordinance was formulated. There are certain decision points within this Overlay. The Navy cannot
compromise re its OPNA V Instructions and City Council's Liaisons and City staff have attempted to
balance the Navy's and City's interest to develop a compromise, a "win-win" for both. There are no
ordinances to ADOPT, rather concepts. In the "green" area depicted on the map, 65 to 70 dB area, there
will be notification of noise attenuation matters both for residential and commercial; however, as to the
OPNA V Instruction, the proposal is not to change the Comprehensive Plan. In the next area 70 to 75 dB,
depicted in "yellow", rezonings or use permits would not be allowed which would violate the OPNA V
Instructions. In the 75 dB and above, depicted in "brown ", and the APZ 's, the OPNA V Instructions would
be followed and rezonings or use permits would not be allowed which would violate the OPNA V
Instructions, unless to deny the rezoning would deprive the landowner of reasonable use of his/her
property. In the Western Portion of the Transition Area (Interfacility Traffic Area), the Navy is
concerned, ( depicted in "yellow'). In some areas, 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres might be allowed. Agricultural
zoning would be maintained. This would be an 80% reduction in zoning. In the Resort Area, the concept of
decreasing residential density in that area has been introduced. However, no ordinances have been brought
forward. The City Attorney advised only a concept is requested to go forward as per City Council's
direction.
Councilman Reeve had proposed Navigation Easements.

Mayor Oberndorfpolled the City Council Members present relative support of the Joint Land Use Study
(JLUS) concept to move forward:
Mayor Oberndorf wants to be sure the understanding with the Navy is their awareness of their value to
Virginia Beach in National Defense as well as an Economic engine.
Council Lady McClanan expressed concern re density at the Oceanfront, conflict with the Navy, the
redevelopment strategy, and evaluation of the Transition Area. The Navy is a great partner to the City.

Drive and to schedule a Public Hearingfor interested citizens to state
their views.
Deputy City Attorney Macali advised the map depicts Virginia Beach Boulevard as not being a Federal Aid
Primary Highway. Virginia Beach is a Federal Aid Urban Highway. The Statute states the trees can be cut
on Federal Aid Primary Highways. Therefore, this Statute does not apply and the Commonwealth
Transportation Commissioner has no jurisdiction or authority to issue this permit to cut trees and other
vegetation. Therefore, the Resolution has been amended. The City Clerk has been directed to transmit a

PUBLIC COMMENT
ITEM # 53764
Mayor Oberndorf INVITED PUBLIC COMMENT:
CITYVIEW right-of-way alignment for Constitution Drive Extended
The following registered in SUPPORT:
Attorney R. E. Bourdon, Phone: 499-8971, represented the CityView development team and expressed
appreciation for the vision and commitment with respect to the Town Center. Cityview represents
a private investment in excess of $1 OO-MILLION Constitution Drive should be extended, as planned,
from the southern terminus at Thalia Creek to the intersection of Bonney Road. This will offer immediate
access to the core center of Town Center, without the necessity of traveling on Independence Boulevard.
The alternatives proposed, especially Alternative F, may cause much of this opportunity to be lost, An
alignment has been provided where the road could be shifted to the East, which is similar to Alignment A
contained in the City's study. Attorney Bourdon distributed a concept of the proposed shifted alignment.
Cecil Cutchins, 829 Greentree Arch, President of Olympia Development Corporation and developer of the
Convergence Center. Aerial photographs and Convergence Center exhibits were distributed. This
development produces $350,000 in annual real estate tax revenue. This Office park provides over 1600
jobs. The Convergence Center envisions doubling its current status. A map, dated June 1998, (Central
Business District) was distributed. All of the planning was developed around this City document. The
Convergence Center supports the original alignment connecting Constitution Drive to Bendix Road.
Alternative A would go right through the parking lot and would be devastating. Mr. Cutchins distributed
petitions containing 252 signatures supporting Flyover Alternative F and opposed to Alternative A, Said
petitions are hereby made a part of the record.
Timothy Robertson, 1101 South Bay Shore Drive, Phone: 228-3624, Olympia Development Corporation
supported the original alignment
Andrew Heatwole, 808 Newtown Road, Phone: 473-8575, one of the Principles of City View, opposed to
east Alternative F and the 125-foot roadway section displayed during April 4, 2005, Public Information
meeting. Phase A of the City View project is lost with Alternative F.
Attorney Les Watson, One Columbus Center, Phone: 497-6633, represented the developers of the
Convergence Center. Alternative A would be devestating to the Convergence Center. Alignment F would
be catastrophic to others. The City should remain with the alignment, as planned, which provides
tremendous access to and from the Town Center.
The following registered in OPPOSITION:
William Bailey, 4841 Rosecroft Street, represented the Virginia Beach Professional Firefighters
Association and his family located in Kempsville. The Association is opposed to any diversion
of traffic down Edwin Drive.
There being no further speakers, Mayor Oberndorf CLOSED THE PUBLIC COMMENT.

9 APPLICATIONS OF ADAMS OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
10 FOR PERMITS AUTHORIZING THE CUTTING OF
11 CERTAIN TREES AND OTHER VEGETATION ON
12 VIRGINIA BEACH BOULEVARD
13
14
15 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 33.1-371.1 of the Virginia Code,
16 Adams Outdoor Advertising (Adams) has filed applications with the
17 Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) , seeking the issuance
18 of permits to cut certain trees and other vegetation owned by the
19 City of Virginia Beach and located within the right-of-way of a
20 portion of Virginia Beach Boulevard in order to enhance the
21 visibility of its billboards in that area; and
22 WHEREAS, the permits sought by Adams would allow it, among
23 other things, to cut the City's crepe myrtle trees located within
24 the median and along the south side of Virginia Beach Boulevard
25 between Rosemont Road and Lynn Shores Drive so as to leave standing
26 approximately four feet (4') of each crepe myrtle tree, thus
27 eliminating all of the branches and foliage of such trees; and
28
WHEREAS,
the statutes that authorize the Commonwealth
29 Transportation Commissioner to issue permits such as those sought
30 by Adams, Virginia Code Sections 33.1-371.1 and 33.1-353, apply
31 only to "signs, advertisements, or advertising structures [that]
32 are visible from the main traveled way of any interstate highway,
33 federal-aid primary highway as that system existed on June 1, 1991,
34 or national highway system highway;" and
35 WHEREAS, according to a map maintained and furnished to the
36 City by the Virginia Department of Transportation, the portion of
37 Virginia Beach Boulevard on which the billboards that are the
38 subject of Adams' applications is not an interstate highway, a
39 federal-aid primary highway as that system existed on June 1, 1991,
40 or a national highway system highway; and
41 WHEREAS, as a result of the facts set forth in the preceding
42 paragraph, the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner does not
43 have the jurisdiction or authority to issue the permits sought by
44 Adams; and
45 WHEREAS, even if Virginia Code Sections 33.1-353 and 33.1-
46 371.1 did allow the permits to be issued, the stated purpose of
47 that Section is to allow, under certain limited circumstances, the
48 "selective pruning" of vegetation that obstructs motorists' view of
49 signs displayed on outdoor advertising structures, such that
50 neither the letter nor the spirit of the statute authorizes the
51 cutting of trees that do not significantly "obstruct" the
52 visibility of billboards; and
53 WHEREAS, the trees that Adams desires to cut do not
54 significantly obstruct motorists' view of the billboards, within
55 the meaning and intent of the statute, but impede visibility only
56 slightly and momentarily as motorists drive past the billboards;
2
57 and
58 WHEREAS, Virginia Code Section 33.1-371.1 requires that all
59 "pruning" shall be performed in a manner that beautifies the area
60 surrounding the billboards, and it is patently obvious to even a
61 casual observer that, rather than beautifying the area, the cutting
62 of the trees in the manner sought by Adams would seriously detract
63 from the visual appearance of the portion of Virginia Beach
64 Boulevard between Rosemont Road and Lynn Shores Drive; and
65 WHEREAS, the citizens of the City of Virginia Beach have, for
66 many years, enthusiastically and overwhelmingly supported the
67 City's ongoing beautification efforts, including the planting of
68 trees and other vegetation in and along the City's major
69 thoroughfares, and should be entitled to retain the benefits of
70 those efforts or, at a minimum, to have the opportunity to voice
71 their concerns in this matter to the Commonwealth Transportation
72 Commissioner, as the chief executive officer of VDOT and the
73 official statutorily charged with the duty to determine whether to
74 issue the permits requested by Adams;
75 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
76 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
77 FIRST:

79 hereby is, requested to refuse to act upon the applications sought

Virginia Beach Boulevard between Rosemont Road and Lynn Shores
Drive;
SECOND:
That alternatively, the Commonwealth Transportation
Commissioner be, and hereby is, requested to deny the aforesaid
applications on the grounds that they fail to meet the criteria set
forth in Virginia Code Section 33.1-371.1 and associated
regulations; and
THIRD:
That, alternatively, the Commonwealth Transportation
Commissioner schedule and conduct, at a suitable location within
the City of Virginia Beach, a public hearing at which the citizens
of the City of Virginia Beach and other interested parties have the
opportunity to state their views concerning the aforesaid permit
applications, both in favor of and in opposition to the issuance of
such permits.

is hereby directed forthwith to transmit a

the density of this application would be a challenge to Fire, Police and Emergency Medical Service staff
Attorney Thelma Carroll, 55903 Clear Springs Road, Phone: 420-5055, advised Inclusionary Zoning also
known as Opportunity Based Housing is a tool for providing an adequate supply of safe, decent, attractive
and diverse housing with a range of values, including owner-occupied and rental units to accommodate
the present and future needs of all Virginia Beach residents as stated in the Comprehensive Plan
Reverend Danny Reed, 739 Yarmouth, President - Empower Hampton Roads. Reverend Reed disagreed
on the definition of affordable workforce housing. Members of Empower Hampton Roads enjoyed a
engaging meeting with Art Sandler and members of the Sandler design and financing team. Empower
Hampton Roads received a private presentation of the development and now have a fuller understanding
of the Cornerstone development. Empower Hampton Roads is in opposition to the awarding of the
density bonus.
Tim McCarthy, 3845 Prince Phillip Circle, Phone: 486-3375, urged adoption ofInclusionary Zoning and
develop more affordable housing within the community. Empower Hampton Roads is opposed to the
density bonus requested by the Sandlers, without afull assurance of affordable Opportunity Based Housing

WHEREAS, Grantor owns four (4) parcels of property located in the Kempsville District
of the City, containing a total of approximately 48.8 acres and designated as Tracts 1,2,3 and 4
in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. These four (4) parcels
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Property"; and
WHEREAS, Grantor has initiated a conditional amendment to the Zoning Map of the
City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, by petition addressed to the City so as to change the Zoning
Classifications from A-12 to A-24 with a PD-H2 Overlay; and
WHEREAS, the City's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land for
various purposes through zoning and other land development legislation; and
WHEREAS, Grantor acknowledges that the competing and sometimes incompatible uses
conflict and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the Property and at the
same time to recognize the effect of change, and the need for various types of uses, certain
reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the community that
are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned are needed to cope with the situation to
which Grantor's rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, Grantor has voluntarily proffered, in writing, in advance of and prior to the
public hearing before the City, as a part of the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map, in
addition to the regulations provided for by the A-24 Zoning District, the PD-H2 District and the
adopted land use plan by the existing Zoning Ordinance, the following reasonable conditions
related to the physical development, operation, and use of the Property to be adopted as a part of
said amendment to the Zoning Map relative and applicable to the Property, which has a
reasonable relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning.
NOW, THEREFORE, Grantor, for itself, its successors, personal representatives, assigns,
grantees, and other successors in title or interest, voluntarily and without any requirement by or
exaction from the City or its governing body and without any element of compulsion or quid pro

units substantially in conformity with the elevations which have been exhibited to the City
Council and are on file in the Department of Planning. It is recognized and understood that

these structures shall be submitted to the Planning Director for review and approval prior to
building plan approval.
3. Grantor agrees to reserve a ten (10) foot strip of land on the Property adjacent to
and along the frontage of Bonney Road to allow for the ultimate seventy (70) foot right-of-way

Grantor's application materials and shall be subject to review by the Planning Director to ensure
consistency with the Plan.
(b) A variable width area consisting of:l: 7.4 acres, located east of Bonney Road and

units)" (the "Flyover Area"). Grantor shall grant an option to the City for the purchase of the
Flyover Area upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding.
Grantor and the City shall enter into an option agreement consistent with the terms and
conditions of the Memorandum of Understanding, which establishes, among other things, the
method for determining the fair market value of the Flyover Area. The option agreement shall
further provide that, if the City has not exercised its rights under the option agreement and
prepared to close on or before July 31, 2008, the City's option shall expire and Grantor may
develop the Flyover Area in the manner indicated in the Plan. Grantor and the City shall
diligently pursue and negotiate the option agreement in good faith.
The above conditions, having been proffered by Grantor and allowed and accepted by the
City as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, shall continue in full force and effect
until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning of the Property and specifically repeals such
conditions. Such conditions shall continue despite a subsequent amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance even if the subsequent amendment is part of a comprehensive implementation of a
new or substantially revised Zoning Ordinance until specifically repealed. The conditions,
however, may be repealed, amended, or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and executed by the record
owner of the Property at the time of recordation of such instrument, provided that said instrument
is consented to by the City in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of an ordinance or a
resolution adopted by the governing body of the City, after a public hearing before the City
which was advertised pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia,
3
1950, as amended. Said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with said instrument as
conclusive evidence of such consent, and if not so recorded, said instrument shall be void.

(1) The Zoning Administrator of the City shall be vested with all necessary authority,
on behalf of the governing body of the City, to administer and enforce the foregoing conditions
and restrictions, including the authority (a) to order, in writing, that any noncompliance with
such conditions be remedied; and (b) to bring legal action or suit to insure compliance with such
conditions, including mandatory or prohibitory injunction, abatement, damages, or other
appropriate action, suit, or proceeding;
(2) The failure to meet all conditions and restrictions shall constitute cause to deny
the issuance of any of the required building or occupancy permits as may be appropriate;
(3) If aggrieved by any decision of the Zoning Administrator, made pursuant to these
provisions, Grantor shall petition the governing body for the review thereof prior to instituting
proceedings in court; and
(4) The Zoning Map may show by an appropriate symbol on the map the existence of
conditions attaching to the zoning of the Property, and the ordinances and the conditions may be
made readily available and accessible for public inspection in the office of the Zoning
Administrator and in the Planning Department, and they shall be recorded in the Clerk's Office
of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and indexed in the names of Grantor
