Oberndorf called to order the CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING re BASE REALIGNMENT and CLOSURE COMMISSION (BRA C) Update in the Council Conference Room, City Hall, on Tuesday, September 6,2005, at 3:30 P.M Council Members Present: Harry E. Diezel, Robert M, Dyer, Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones, Reba S. McClanan, Richard A, Maddox, Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf, Jim Reeve, Peter W. Schmidt, Ron A, Villanueva and James L. Wood Council Members Absent: Rosemary Wilson [Entered: 3:38 P.M.] - 2- MA YOR 'S COMMENTS ITEM # 54334 3:30 P.M. Mayor Oberndorf advised ChiefCade called to inform the Virginia Beach FEMA Team II will be returning tonight at the Fire Training Center, between 7:00 and 8:00 P.M. Councilman Diezel will be leaving the meeting to greet the returning team, If it were not a City Council Session, the Mayor would be in attendance. Mayor Oberndorf requested Councilman Diezel relay the pride and appreciation of the City Council. FEMA Team II has responded to Oklahoma City, after their horrendous bombing, reacted to "911" (conducting assistance at the Pentagon), and now provided service to Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi. September 6, 2005 - 3 - CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING BASE REALIGNMENT and CLOSURE COMMISSION (BRA C) Update 3:30 P.M. ITEM # 54335 Mayor Oberndorf referenced the Joel Rubin television show on Sunday, September 4, 2005. There appears to be a misunderstanding that the City is not assuming a leadership role in reacting to the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) decision. This is erroneous. There has not been anything received in "writing" from BRAe. As of today, their Website has not been updated. In fact, the information that was on the Web has been removed. The City Manager distributed a copy of his presentation. As the Mayor mentioned, the BRAC has not issued its report, but has until September 8, 2005, to present the President with the results of the BRAC recommendations, BRAC REQUIREMENTS. 1, IjVirginia Beachfails to meet the BRAC Commission's conditions, NAS Ocean a will be realigned, not closed; i.e. The Base will remain a naval facility 2. Enact State legislation requiring Virginia Beach and Chesapeake to adopt zoning ordinances consistent with AICUZ/OPNA V Instruction to prevent incompatible development in the 70 dB or greater noise zones, 3. To protect and clear the area defined by and within the Accident Potential Zone 1 (APZl). State and local laws must be enacted to establish a plan and spend at least $15-MILLION per year to purchase the property within the area, The plan must include provisions for eminent domain acquisition. (The majority believe eminent domain is a possibility, but could be avoided and voluntary acquisitions attemptedfor many years) 4. The provisions of the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) must be enacted by the Virginia General Assembly and the Virginia Beach City Council 5, The State must legislate requirements for Virginia Beach and Chesapeake to evaluate all undeveloped properties in the 70 dB, or greater, noise zones that are zoned for uses incompatible with the OPNA V Instruction to determine if they can be rezoned so as not to permit incompatible uses 6. State and Local governments must establish a program for the purchase of development rights in the flight path between NAS Ocean a andNALF Fentress defined as the "Inter-Facility Traffic Area" 7. The State must enact legislation creating an Oceana/Fentress Advisory Council September 6,2005 -4- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING BASE REALIGNMENT and CLOSURE COMMISSION (BRA C) Update ITEM # 54335 (Continued) 8. The Deadline for enactment of the BRAC Commission requirements is the end of March 2006. (The key compliance date would be a review conducted in June by the Comptroller General of the United States, certifYing whether Virginia Beach has or has not complied with the requirements.) 9, If the conditions are not met, and the State of Florida meets certain conditions, all Master Jet Base units and functions at Oceana will relocate to Cecil Field, subject to: a. Appropriate sufficient funds to relocate commercial tenants previously located at Cecil Field b, Appropriate sufficient funds to secure public-private ventures for all personnel housing required by the Navy at Cecil Field for a relocation c. Turn over fee simple title to Cecil Field and its improvements to the Department of Defense on or before December 31,2006 10. The BRAC Commission statedfurther that "it is the sense of the Commission that the future of Naval Aviation is not NAS Oceana." The BRAC urged the Navy to begin transitioning high intensity training evolutions to other bases that are less encroached upon. However, this statement is inconsistent with sworn testimony of Naval officials and with representations of the Navy, The City Manager referenced correspondence of Admiral Willard, Vice Chief of Naval Operations, dated August 23, 2005, addressed to the Chair Anthony J. Principi, Base Realignment and Closure Commission Admiral Willard advised Oceana would provide a better option for the Navy for the next several decades and possibly beyond. The City Manager referenced the BRAC Timeline: September 8, 2005 September 23, 2005 November 7, 2005 (No later than) December 8, 2005 January 3,2006 (No later than) March 31, 2006 April 10,2006 June 1,2006 BRAC Recommendations to the President President approves/disapproves BRAC Recommendations (If the President disapproves the recommendations, BRA C must transmit revised list by October 20, 2005) Final Presidential Approval General Assembly Pre-filing deadline Congressional Approval of BRA C BRAC Compliance Governor Signs Bills Government Accountability Office certification deadline September 6, 2005 - 5 - CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING BASE REALIGNMENT and CLOSURE COMMISSION (BRA C) Update ITEM # 54335 (Continued) Another key provision is the requirement in the Legislation that the Department of Defense has six (6) months to analyze Cecil Field versus a green field development (building a base on a site and State yet to be determined). This would entail Congressional action in Mid November and could be as long as six (6) months from January Third (June). There arefour (4) months involvedfor comment on the Department of Defense comparison, The City Manager advised the points would be emphasized. Oceana could be maintained far less expensively than retrofitting and updating Cecil Field or the new green field development, Mayor Oberndorf advised Governor Warner came to Norfolk recently and talked to representatives of Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Portsmouth and Norfolk re appointing a State Level TaskForce re the BRAC issue. The Governor is anticipating leading statewide efforts. The issues associated with Oceana are regional in scope and impact. All cities need to be involved. The Task Force will address all bases on the Peninsula side and Northern Virginia, The Master Jet Base is important to maintaining a larger military presence. The State representatives will meet with the Comptroller General to clarifY compliance criteria and process, Virginia Beach effort needs to mesh with the State Task Force. The Governor appointed a statewide BRAC Advisory Board, chaired by former Congressman Owen Pickett, Mayor Oberndorf, Vice Mayor Jones and the City staffbelieve a Local Work Group should be created Local Work Group Purpose Coordinate and work with the Governor's Task Force and Regional efforts To collect/ analyze data needed by City Council related to compliance with the BRAC requirements To keep all decision paths open until City Council makes a decision, Vice Mayor Jones distributed and read an Ordinance to be ADDED to the Agenda: Ordinance to APPROPRIATE $50,000 from the City's Reserve for Contingencies to retain an Economic Consultant to study potential costs resulting from the decision of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC). Mayor Oberndorf referenced the Local Work Group structure: I City Council - Review and Comment - Public Work Group Steering Committee Membership: Mayor Vice Mayor City Manager City Attorney Lead from each Subgroup Subgroups: Economic Impact/Land Use Issues/Public Communications/Legal/Acquisition Issues September 6, 2005 - 6- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING BASE REALIGNMENT and CLOSURE COMMISSION (BRA C) Update ITEM # 54335 (Continued) Technical Committee Membership: City Manager's Office City Attorney's Office Management Services Media & Communication Planning Public Works Real Estate Office Outside Expertise Economist Legal Media Appraisers Others as needed Council Lady McClanan wished assurances that the residents of possible affected areas would be included within this Committee. Mayor Oberndorf introduced Delegate Terrie L. Suit and Senator Kenneth W Stolle. Delegate Suit advised, at the present time, information is being collected. 95% of the conditions outlined by BRAC arefeasible. Legislation devised by the Mayor, City Attorney, Deputy City Attorney Macali and Delegate Suit has been composed with the assistance of Legislative Services. Every member of the General Assembly has been polled. and a majority of the House and Senate have indicated their affirmative votes to pass said legislation. The information that is missing is the necessary economic data. The eminent domain portion was a grave concern and a "shock". BRAC has not issued their final order. Delegate Suit complimented Mayor Oberndorfre her representation of the City at all BRAC Hearings, Florida is being extremely aggressive, retaining a retired Admiral at a cost of over $500,000, and analyzing every newspaper article and every action of Virginia Beach. NAS Ocean a is not going. The runway is staying active, and the base is staying in tact, The only matter on the table is whether Ocean a keeps or loses the Jets. Senator Kenneth W Stolle advised Florida is attempting to exploit every opportunity to place the City in a position offailure. Once the criteria is available, Virginia Beach gets to decide re the future ofNAS Oceana. Senator Stolle advised representatives from the offices of Congresswoman Thelma Drake, Senator George Allen, and Senator John Warner were in attendance. Senator Stolle urged the City to move forward in a methodical manner and not commit until the final order has been issued by BRAe. The Counsel for the Governor, Attorney General's Office, representatives from the Federal Legislators and the City Attorneys from Virginia Beach and Chesapeake have met and will continue to meet to discuss options concerning BRAC's right to impose these guidelines. Historical data will be provided of all the homes in the Accident Potential Zones (APZ's) and the Air Installation Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) will be provided whether existing "by right ", or by City Council action (with or without the Navy's approval or disapproval). The City Manager advised staff is preparing this data and a timeline is being developed re changing types of aircraft, restrictions, maps, etc. All of which is independent of actions of City Council. Concerning the Local Work Group, The City Manager has received a number of citizen inquiries re assistance, This list will be provided. Vice Mayor Jones advised the City Council will be notified of all meetings, should they wish to participate. The CITY PAGE should be utilized to advise NAS Oceana will not be closed, but realigned as well as other pertinent information. Residents should be aware if they reside in the APZ. The City's website shall be clarified to enable citizens to write in their address and then the map be shown immediately to depict their zones. September 6, 2005 - 7 - C IT Y MANA G E R 'S B R IE FIN G HURRICANE KATRINA 4:55 P.M. ADD-ON ITEM # 54336 Charles W Meyer, Chief Operating Officer, advised Fire Chief Gregory Cade will provide details concerning the activities of Virginia Beach's FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Team relative Hurricane Katrina, Dr. Terry Jenkins, Human Services Director, will discuss the City's response to individuals displaced by the Hurricane on the Gulf Coast, Mr, Meyer will then conclude with information concerning requests through a Nationwide Mutual Aid Network. Chief Cade advised the Urban Search and Rescue Team was deployed to Hancock County, on the west side ofBiloxi, Mississippi. The FEMA Team arrived Wednesday, August 31,2005.

Hopefully, the Team should arrive back home approximately 7:00 PM, this evening, September 6, 2005, No personnel or canines experienced injury. Mayor Oberndorf advised Councilman Diezel would be representing the Mayor and City Council to "welcome the FEMA Team home ", Dr, Terry Jenkins, advised the City is aware there are individuals displaced by Katrina coming to Virginia Beach, but does not know the number. The Virginia Beach School system has advised, as of close of business on Friday, September 2, 2005, fifty-six (56) children, identifYing Louisiana as their home, were registered. The Red Cross in the Region has the primary responsibility for registering individuals and making sure FEMA has been contacted. The Red Cross has received sufficient funding to be able to provide fourteen (I 4) days of emergency lodging. The local motels are being utilized. The Department of Human Services is working closely with the Red Cross. A number of individuals have appliedfor Food Stamps and Medicaid, some of whom were receiving these benefits in the Gulf area. Many of the individuals are coming to the City with "nothing ", They require clothingJood and medical care. Human Services contacted the Beach Health Clinic and the Medical Reserve Corps. An Assistance Center is being created within the Department of Human Services, with its own telephone number. This Center will be staffed with Human Services personnel, as well as volunteers. Human Services met with the Interfaith Community, who are identifYing resources for individuals. Human Services is especially concerned with children who have been traumatized by the events over the past week. Another major issue relates to what happens when the emergency lodging provided by the Red Cross ends infourteen (14) days. Mayor Oberndorf advised the President of the Sandbridge Civic League called and is offering cottages to displaced individuals, Mr, Tom Fraim also called concerning whether families could be housed in Pendleton and St, John's School. A displaced teacher could also be employed. Mr. Meyer referenced assistance to municipalities for basic services. The Emergency Management Assistance Compact is a mechanism by which the storm impacted staters) would request, through their government, assistance for firefighters, police, equipment, dispatchers, etc, Virginia Beach would be responsible for responding to that request, advising the City is capable of providing (for example) the necessary firefighters. Hurricane Katrina was an extraordinary event. The Emergency Management Assistance Compact is the most organized system by which assistance can be provided. The majority of requests have been public safety related. The Public Safety departments are currently evaluating these requests and preparing responses.

Oberndorf, Mayor Members of City Council Subject: Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Dear Council Membeffi: In the past, the City has received the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) from the Department of Justice (DOJ) which is used to assist with law enforcement and criminal processing programs. Recently, the Justice Department has combined the LLEBG with several other grants to create the Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG). The Byrne JAG also supports a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on local needs and conditions. Unlike the LLEBG, this grant does not require a City match with the grant. I am pleased to announce . that Virginia Beach has been selected to receive $173,406 through the Byrne JAG program, $100,000 more than we received last year from the LLEBG. As part of the requirements of accepting this grant, the City Council must be notified of the projects that this grant is funding. A public hearing will be scheduled for comments on April 5th as well. The Criminal Justice Board which has representatives from the departments of Police, Sheriff. Courts. Community Corrections. Magistrates, Non- profits, Juvenile Probation, & Public Defender met on March 10th to recommend the following projects and funding amounts for this grant: Vi.d~()_.Con{erencing..~ $&0,268 This proposal is for equipment needed to enable one General District Courtroom, one Circuit Courtroom, and one Juvenile & Domestic Relations Courtroom for video arraignment and bond hearings. The equipment will save the sheriff time and manpower in transporting prisoners as well as the Courts time in having to wait for deputies to transport prisoners. Alzheimer Locator Bracelets - $12,000 Project Lifesaver places state of the art personalized radio transmitters on identified individuals who are at-risk of wandering away from home and becoming lost. The The Honorable Meyera E. Oberndorf, Mayor Members of City Council Byrne Memorial JAG Program March 18, 2005 Page 2 funding in this project will support radio tran smitters that work in conjunction with transmitter bracelets. This project is particularly useful in locating patients with Alzheimer's who have wandered off. This project was administered by the Sheriff is now being administered by the Police Departme nt. Flashlights. $26,458 The shooting review board and police firearms ra nge staff have recommended issuing the surefire flashlight to sworn officers and animal control officers to assist them in situations where they may need to draw and point their firearm. These flashlights are small and are more compatible for use with a firearm than the current flashlights although they can be used for general duty purposes as well. These flashlights will go to the Police Department and for this funding the Department should receive approximately 395 flashlights. Contracted Manpower. $20,000 (General District Court) This position will assist the General District Cou rt with imaging their Court records. This Court looks to begin imaging their paper cases this summer. This position will assist with the scanning of records allowing records to be located faster and assisting in a variety of criminal justice processing factors. Telecommunications Maintenance. $1,866 The Juvenile Domestic Relations Court has acquired video conferencing which will assist the Court with daily video arraignments wh ich will reduce the Sheriff's costs and transport times and ensure that deputies never have to leave a Courtroom. This funding will cover the maintenance contract for this particular video conferencing equipment. This equipment will connect the juvenile detention center with the Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court which is separate from the video conferencing system proposed by the Sheriff's Department. Printers - $1,992 The Community Corrections program has received level funding from the State Department of Criminal Justice Services. The office relies on eight total printers not only for day-to-day staff work but the printing of reports, and information for offenders referred to the program. Several of these printers have broken down in the past making repair at this point an unfeasible suggestion. This funding will replace four of the eight printers. The Honorable Meyera E. Oberndorf, Mayor Members of City Council Byrne Memorial JAG Program March 18, 2005 Page 3 Contracted Manpower.. $22,900 (Community Corrections) The Community Corrections program currently utilizes a contracted person to assist with general clerical duties as well as data entry. This person handles a tremendous load of filing and checks in offenders who report to the program. Evidence Display. $7,922 This proposal will provide technology to the Circuit Court for evidence presentation. The use of this technology would allow display of evidence on a plasma monitor. Witnesses and attorneys could then manipulate the on screen image including the ability to rotate, flip, invert, mark specific areas, etc. The Office of the Commonwealth Attorney would benefit from this request as well as the Sheriff's Department and Police Department in preparation of evidence. Most of all, jurors would receive a better evidence presentation. The current amount of money is not sufficient to purchase the entire system (estimated $40,174) but since this grant can be used over a four year period, the hope is that other grants or funding sources can be combined with this first installment. If no other funding source can be found, this funding can be used for other purposes instead of being returned. TOTAL GRANT FUNDING AMOUNT: $173,406 Please know that one of the grant requirements is written notification of the grant to the governing body before March 31St, and this letter serves that purpose. The next step is a public .hearing scheduled on this grant for the April 5th Council Meeting. At this point, no formal action is necessary from Council. Once the City has satisfied the requirements from DOJ, we anticipate an official award sometime in June or July. At that point we will ask Council to appropriate the funding from this grant. If you have questions or comments regarding this grant please contact either myself or Catheryn Whitesell. Sincerely, .) ~--..

ARTICLE 18. Special Regulations in Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) Sec. 1800. Title. 95 This Article shall be known as the Air Installations 96 Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) Overlay Ordinance of the City of 97 Virginia Beach. 98 99 Sec. 1801. Purpose and intent. The purpose of this Article is to regulate, in a manner 101 consistent with the rights of individual property owners and the 102 requirements of military operations at Naval Air Station (NAS) 103 Oceana, development of uses and structures that are incompatible 104 with military operations; to sustain the economic health of the 105 City and Hampton Roads Region; to protect and preserve the 106 public health, safety and welfare from the adverse impacts 107 associated with excessive noise from flight operations at NAS 108 Oceana and the potential for aircraft accidents associated with 109 proximity to airport operations; and to maintain the overall 6 I , 110 quality of life of those who live, work and recreate in the City 111 of Virginia Beach. 112 COMMENT 113 The section sets forth the purpose and intent of the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance. 114 115 116 Sec. 1802. Findings. 117 The City Council hereby finds that: 118 M Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana was first established 119 as an auxiliary airfield in 1943 and was designated as a major 120 Navy jet air base in the 1950s. It is now one of the largest 121 Navy air bases in the country and is the Master Jet Base for the 122 Navy's Atlantic Fleet. NAS Oceana is a vital component in the 123 architecture of the Defense Department's joint service method of 124 operational planning and execution and in the newly-emerging 125 inter-agency approach to meeting homeland defense requirements; 126 127 Jel NAS Oceana is the single largest employer in the City of Virginia Beach. In 2003, it had a gross annual payroll of 128 over $750 million and spent another $400 million for goods and 129 services. In that year, over 12,000 personnel, comprised of 130 nearly 9,800 military and over 2,500 civilian employees, were 131 employed there. Most of those employees live within the 132 communi ty, infusing additional benefits into the local economy, 133 primarily through spending and spousal employment salaries. 7 134 When considering the personal impact of the military in the 135 community, the economic benefit exceeds $1 billion annually; 136 H There are more than 30,000 acres of land in areas 137 wi thin the 70-75 >75 dB DNL Noise Zones. dB DNL 0 r 138 Approximately 4,200 acres of this land is encumbered by 139 easements or restrictive covenants that limit the uses of the 140 land to those that are not incompatible with flight operations 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 arising out of NAS Oceana; lQl Encroachment by since the installation's incompatible land uses has inception, and includes the occurred high-density, residential and commercial development type of tha t now threatens the viability of the station's mission; ~ In August 2005, the Base (BRAC) Commission added to the list Realignment and Closure of installations to be closed or realigned the recommendation to realign NAS Oceana by relocating the Atlantic Fleet's East Coast Master Jet Base to Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Florida if, among other things, the cities of Virginia Beach and Chesapeake fail to enact and enforce legislation to prevent further encroachment of NAS Oceana by the end of ordinances that require the March 2006 by adopting zoning governing bodies to follow Air Installations Compatibility Use Zone guidelines in (AICUZ) 156 deciding discretionary development applications for property in 8 157 Noise Level 70 dB Day Night Average Noise Level (DNL) or 158 greater; 159 (f) The closure or realignment of NAS Oceana would have 160 serious adverse economic consequences to the City and the 161 region; 162 163 ill Pilots stationed at NAS Oceana fly more than 200,000 training operations each year. In response to NAS Oceana 164 officials have voluntarily modified flight arrival and departure 165 procedures. These modifications resulted in flight have 166 procedures/training that do not replicate actual aircraft 167 carrier operating procedures; and 168 ill In 2004 and 2005, the City of Virginia Beach, along 169 with the cities of Norfolk and Chesapeake, joined with the Navy 170 and the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission to craft a 171 regional Joint Land Use Study (JLUS). Among the recommendations 172 of the JLUS was that the City adopt an ordinance applicable in 173 all noise zones greater than 65 dB DNL to help prevent 174 encroachment at NAS Oceana. The JLUS was accepted by resolution 175 of the City Council in May of 2005 and the City Council directed 176 that appropriate ordinances implementing the recommendations of 177 the JLUS be brought forward for its consideration. 178 179 180 9 I 1 181 COMMENT 182 183 The section sets forth the findings of the City Council underlying the AICUZ Overlay 18 4 Ordinance. 185 186 187 Sec. 1803. Applicability. 188 189 (a) Area of applicability. Except as provided in Section 1805, provisions this Article apply to shall the of 190 discretionary development applications for any property located 191 within an Accident Potential Zone (APZ) or Noise Zone 70-75 dB 192 DNL or >75 dB DNL, as shown on the official zoning map, that 193 have not been approved or denied by the City Council as of the 194 date of adoption of this Article. For purposes of this Article, 195 discretionary applications shall include development 196 applications for: 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 1. Rezonings, including conditional zonings; 2 . Conditional permits new for uses or use structures, or for alterations or enlargements of existing conditional uses where the occupancy load would increase; 3. Conversions or enlargements of nonconforming uses or structures, except where the application contemplates the construction of a new building or structure or expansion of an existing use or 10 206 structure where the total occupancy load would 207 not increase; and 208 4. Street closures where the application 209 contemplates the construction of a new building 210 or structure or the expansion of a use or 211 structure where the total occupancy load is 212 increased. 213 COMMENT 214 215 The section provides that the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance applies to discretionary 216 development applications (i.e., those requiring approval of the City Council) for property in 21 7 Accident Potential Zones (APZs) and in the 70-75 and >75 dB DNL Noise Zones. Applications for 218 conditional use permits and conversions or enlargements of nonconforming structures in which the 219 proposed use or structure would not result in an increase in occupancy load are exempted from the 220 provisions of the section, although they, as all other types of discretionary development application, 221 would remain subject to the City Council's legislative discretion to grant or deny them under 222 general principles ofzoning law. 223 224 Sec. 1804.

As an example, if an application contemplates the 263 development of 100 single-family dwellings (which are designated as Not Compatible in 70-75 and 264 >75 dB DNL Noise Zones), the City Council may approve the application with fewer dwelling units 2 65 density even if there is no reasonable use of the property other than single-family dwellings if it finds 266 that a lesser number of dwelling units would constitute a reasonable use of the property. It is also 267 important to note that, as stated in Section 1806(a), the City Council may exercise its zoning powers 2 68 to the fullest extent, such that it may deny an application for any valid reason, even if that reason 2 69 does not involve AICUZ-related considerations. 270 271 The section also contains the tables that designate whether or not a use is Compatible (Y) or 272 Not Compatible (N) in APZs and Noise Zones 70-75 dB DNL and >75 dB DNL. 273 274 Sec. 1805. Sound attenuation. 275 Sound attenuation measures shall be incorporated in any use 276 or structure located in Noise Zones 65-70 dB DNL, 70-75 dB DNL 277 or >75 dB DNL in accordance with the requirements of the 278 Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. 279 COMMENT 280 The section provides that sound attenuation measures are required to be incorporated in 281 uses and structures in Noise Zones 65-70, 70-75 and >75 dB DNL, if required by the Virginia 282 Uniform Statewide Building Code. The Code, which was recently amended to incorporate 283 legislation enacted by the 2005 General Assembly, requires sound attenuation in Assembly, 284 Business, Educational, Institutional and Mercantile Use Groups, as defined in the International 285 Building Code. Sound attenuation in residential structures is already required under the Code. 286 287 288 289 Sec. 1806. Allowable residential density in Western Transition Area. 20 290 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 405 (Alternative 291 Residential Development in Agricultural Districts), single- 292 family residential development in Agricultural Districts shall 293 be permitted as a conditional use at the following density in 294 that portion of the Princess Anne/Transition Area designated as 295 "Interfacility Traffic Area" on the official zoning map. 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 Noise Zone Maximum Permitted Density (Single- Family Dwellings) 70-75 dB DNL: One (1) per five (5) acres of developable land >75 dB DNL: One (1) per fifteen (15) acres of developable land (b) Where a tract of land is located within more than one Noise 306 Zone, lots shall be situated, to the extent practicable, on the 307 portion of the tract within the lowest Noise Zone. In such cases, the 308 portion of the tract wi thin the lowest Noise Zone may contain the 309 entire number of dwellings allowable on the acreage of the entire 310 tract. 311 COMMENT 312 The section limits the maximum allowed density in the Interfacility Traffic Area portion of 313 the Princess Anneffransition Area to one dwelling unit per 5 acres of developable land in the 70-75 314 dB DNL Noise Zone and to one dwelling unit per 15 acres in the >75 dB DNL Noise Zone. Those 315 maximum densities are subject to the provisions of Section 405 (Alternative Residential 316 Development in Agricultural Districts). 317 318 319 Sec. 1806. Reservation of powers; severability. 320 (a) Nothing in this Article shall be construed to require 321 the City Council to approve any application solely because it 21 322 meets the requirements of this Article , it being the intention 323 of this Article that the City Council shall be entitled to 324 exercise its authority in such applications to the fullest 325 extent allowed by law. 326 (b) The provisions of this section shall be severable, it 327 being the intention of the City Council that in the event one or 328 more of the provisions of this section shall be adjudged to be 329 invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this 330 section shall be unaffected by such adjudication. 331 COMMENT 332 The section provides that (1) the City Council shall retain, to the fullest extent, its other 333 powers over discretionary development applications, such that it may deny any application for 334 reasons not related to AICUZ considerations; and (2) the provisions of the section shall be deemed 335 severable, such that if one or more of its provisions are held to be invalid or unenforceable by a 336 court, the remaining provisions are to remain unaffected. While such language is not binding upon 337 a court, it raises a legal presumption that the invalid provision may be stricken, leaving the others 33 8 intact. 339 340 Adopted by the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach, 341 Virginia on the day of , 2005. 342 CA-9596 343 OID\ordres\AICUZ Overlay Ordinance.doc 344 R-8 345 August 26, 2005 22 - 23- Item V-L3.

City Council requested the City Manager repeat the briefing relative the Base Realignment and Closure Commission Update presented earlier in the afternoon. The BRAC has not issued their report, but has until September 8, 2005, to present the President with the results of the BRAC recommendations: BRAC REQUIREMENTS. 1. If Virginia Beach fails to meet the BRA C Commission's conditions, NAS Oceana will be realigned, not closed; i.e. The Base will remain a naval facility 2, Enact State legislation requiring Virginia Beach and Chesapeake to adopt zoning ordinances consistent with AICUZ/OPNA V Instruction to prevent incompatible development in the 70 dB or greater noise zones 3, To protect and clear the area defined by and within the Accident Potential Zone 1 (APZl). State and local laws must be enacted to establish a plan and spend at least $15-MILLION per year to purchase the property within the area, The plan must include provisions for eminent domain acquisition. (The majority believe eminent domain is a possibility, but could be avoided and voluntary acquisitions attempted for many years) 4. The provisions of the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) must be enacted by the Virginia General Assembly and the Virginia Beach City Council 5. The State must legislate requirements for Virginia Beach and Chesapeake to evaluate all undeveloped properties in the 70 dB or greater, noise zones that are zoned for uses incompatible with the OPNA V Instruction to determine if they can be rezoned so as not to permit incompatible uses 6, State and Local governments must establish a program for the purchase of development rights in the flight path between NAS Oceana and NALF Fentress defined as the "Inter-Facility Traffic Area" 7, The State must enact legislation creating an Oceana/Fentress Advisory Council September 6,2005 Item V-J.1 PUBLIC COMMENTS -27- Non Agenda Items ITEM # 54358 (Continued) 8. The Deadline for enactment of the BRAC Commission requirements is the end of March 2006. (The key compliance date would be a review conducted in June by the Comptroller General of the United States, certifYing whether Virginia Beach has or has not complied with the requirements.) 9. If the conditions are not met, and the State of Florida meets certain conditions, all Master Jet Base units and functions at Ocean a will relocate to Cecil Field, subject to: a. Appropriate sufficient funds to relocate commercial tenants previously located at Cecil Field b. Appropriate sufficient funds to secure public-private ventures for all personnel housing required by the Navy at Cecil Field for a relocation c, Turn over fee simple title to Cecil Field and its improvements to the Department of Defense on or before December 31,2006 10, The BRA C Commission stated further that "it is the sense of the Commission that the future of Naval Aviation is not NAS Oceana." The BRAC urged the Navy to begin transitioning high intensity training evolutions to other bases that are less encroached upon, However, this statement is inconsistent with sworn testimony of Naval officials and with representations of the Navy. The City Manager referenced correspondence of Admiral Willard, Vice Chief of Naval Operations, dated August 23, 2005, addressed to the Chair Anthony 1. Principi, Base Realignment and Closure Commission. Admiral Willard advised Oceana would provide a better option for the Navy for the next several decades and possibly beyond. The City Manager referenced the BRAC Timeline: September 8, 2005 September 23, 2005 November 7,2005 (No later than) December 8, 2005 January 3, 2006 (No later than) March 31, 2006 April 10, 2006 June 1,2006 BRAC Recommendations to the President President approves/disapproves BRAC Recommendations (If the President disapproves the recommendations, BRAC must transmit revised list by October 20, 2005) Final Presidential Approval General Assembly Pre-filing deadline Congressional Approval of BRAC BRAC Compliance Governor Signs Bills Government Accountability Office certification deadline September 6,2005 - 28- Item V-J.l PUBLIC COMMENTS Non Agenda Items ITEM # 54358 (Continued) Another key provision is the requirement in the Legislation that the Department of Defense has six (6) months to analyze Cecil Field versus a green field development (building a base on a site and State yet to be determined), This would entail Congressional action in Mid November and could be as long as six (6) monthsfrom January Third (June). There are four (4) months involvedforcomment on the Department of Defense comparison. The City Manager advised the points would be emphasized. Ocean a could be maintained far less expensively than retrofitting and updating Cecil Field or a new green field development.
