Virginia Beach Amusement and Pier Corporation (a family business) constructed the pier and related facilities. In April of 1962, City Council issued an invitation to bid for the construction and operation of a fishing and amusement pier at 15th Street on the oceanfront (the "Virginia Beach Fishing Pier"). On May 11, 1962, a franchise for a term of 20 years was granted to the same family business, known as the Virginia Beach Pier and Amusement Company ("VBPAC"). Since the expiration of the original 20 -year term, additional 5 -year franchises and one three-year franchise have been granted to VBPAC's successor, Entertainment, Inc. The pier has been continuously maintained and operated by the same family since 1949. The current franchise has expired and Entertainment, Inc. has expressed a desire to continue to operate the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier (including its related facilities). Accordingly, a franchise agreement has been drafted by the City Attorney's Office for Entertainment, Inc.'s use of the City's property for the operation of the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier. ■ Considerations: The term of the franchise will be from October 10, 2007 until October 31, 2009. Entertainment, Inc. will pay an annual franchise fee of $14,000, payable in equal quarterly installments. ■ Public Information: Advertisement for public hearing as required by §15.2-1800 of the Code of Virginia, advertisement of City Council agenda. ■ Alternatives: Adopt the ordinance as presented, change any conditions or terms of the franchise agreement or disapprove the ordinance. 15th Street Fishing Pier Page 2 of 2 ■ Recommendations: Adopt the ordinance granting the franchise and authorizing the City Manager to execute the franchise agreement in accordance with the attached Summary of Terms. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Summary of Terms Recommended Action: Approval.

Tract (as defined below), being bounded on the west by the Entertainment, Inc. Tract, on the east by the low water mark of the Atlantic Ocean, on the north by an extension into the Atlantic Ocean of the northern line of the Entertainment, Inc.

'M g CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept Eight Positions from the State Compensation Board, Appropriate $327,330 in Additional State Revenue, and Transfer $145,212 from the General Fund Reserve for Contingencies to the FY 2007-08 Operating Budget of the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: The State Compensation Board approved three new attorney positions for the Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney's Office for FY 2006-07. At the time, the Office lacked adequate space to hire the new positions and transferred three City -funded positions to state functions until such time as their space constraints were resolved. For FY 2007-08, the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office was granted an additional five positions by the State Compensation Board — two attorneys, two paralegals, and one clerk. Since the expansion of the Commonwealth's Attorney's office space to the basement of Building 10B is nearing completion, additional office space is now available for current and new employees. The Commonwealth's Attorney intends to fill two of the positions as paralegals, one as an office assistant, and the remaining five positions are anticipated to be filled as attorneys. The timing will enable the Commonwealth's Attorney to fill several of these new positions with employees who are currently employed with the Office under grants that are due to expire in the coming months. The State Compensation Board is providing $327,330 for FY 2007-08 toward the salary and fringe benefit costs of these eight positions. The City portion of the salary and benefits for the remainder of the year totals $145,212, for a total cost of $472,542. ■ Considerations: According to the State Compensation Board staffing standards, the Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney continues to be understaffed based on the number of state -authorized personnel. The impact of the space constraints has inhibited the Office from filling the positions authorized last year. The Commonwealth's Attorney's Office has one of the highest caseloads in the state, which will continue to increase without approval of the additional positions. Declining these positions would result in a permanent reduction of the prosecution of misdemeanor appeals and domestic violence cases, and it would affect reimbursement amounts from the state. ■ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal agenda process. ■ Alternatives: Staff allocated to the prosecution of misdemeanor appeals and domestic violence cases would be permanently allocated to the prosecution of felonies, resulting in a reduction/elimination of these services. ■ Recommendations: Accept eight additional positions approved by the State Compensation Board, appropriate $327,330 in additional revenue from the State and transfer $145,212 from the General Fund Reserve for Contingencies to the FY 2007-08 Operating Budget of the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney�� City Manager: SNM 1 AN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT EIGHT POSITIONS FROM 2 THE STATE COMPENSATION BOARD, APPROPRIATE 3 $327,330 IN ADDITIONAL STATE REVENUE, AND 4 TRANSFER $145,212 FROM THE GENERAL FUND 5 RESERVE FOR CONTINGENCIES TO THE FY 2007-08 6 OPERATING BUDGET OF THE COMMONWEALTH'S 7 ATTORNEY'S OFFICE 8 9 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, 10 VIRGINIA: 11 12 1.

Property is located at 1212 North Inlynnview Road (GPIN 1498459841). DISTRICT 5 — LYNNHAVEN MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: The existing lot has 1.79 acres, a lot width of 187.07, and is zoned R-40 Residential District. There is an existing single-family house located on the lot. The lot is impacted by the -Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area, Resource Protection Area. The applicant has obtained approval from the Chesapeake Bay Board for the construction activity proposed with this proposal. The City Council indefinitely deferred this application on January 9, 2007 and again on August 14, 2007, at the request of the applicant. The applicant has now requested that the matter be returned to the City Council for consideration. The applicant has submitted a revised subdivision plat (page 7 of attached report) that reduces the size of the proposed house shown on the parcel from 5,200 square feet to 4,200 square feet. The applicant has also submitted letters of support and a petition of support for the proposal. ■ Considerations: It is the intent of the applicant to subdivide the existing lot into two lots and develop the new lot with a single-family dwelling. The lot that will contain the existing house lacks the required lot width of 125 feet. According to the submitted plat, the lot has a width of only 25.04 feet. Evaluation of this request reveals that the applicant has not met the criteria listed in Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance for a variance. Application of the existing ordinances and regulations produces no undue hardship upon the site. The site can still be used and or redeveloped in accordance with the current ordinances and regulations. The existing lot shares the same topographical characteristics as other lots within the area and thus, this is not a valid reason for granting the variance. The existing neighborhood will be adversely affected with the introduction of lots smaller in size than those currently existing on the waterside of the street. While several variances to lot width have been approved in the past (see Page 3 of 3, below), those requests produced lots varying in size from 88,000 square feet to 33,500 square feet outside of water, marsh and wetlands. This request proposes lots of 28,628 square feet and 26,821 square Pyong Tu Cho Page 2of3 feet outside of water, marsh and wetlands. Thus, this proposal is not comparable to past subdivision variance actions. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to deny this request. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends denial. Planning Commission recommends denial. Submitting Department/Agency: Planning Department / A City Manager: �,` c(N� �1�-' Pyong Tu Cho Page 3 of 3 z .

Single-family dwelling / R-40 Residential NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is within the Resource Protection and Management areas of the CULTURAL FEATURES: Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. The applicant received a variance from the Chesapeake Bay Board on July 24, 2006 for construction related to a new dwelling on the proposed lot. The following conditions are attached to the variance: 1. A pre -construction meeting shall be convened with Civil Inspections prior to any land disturbance, inclusive of demolition. 2. A 36" wire re -enforced silt fence shall be installed prior to any land disturbance and shall remain in place until such time as vegetative cover is established. 3. Permanent and / or temporary soil stabilization as determined by staff shall be applied to all disturbed / denuded areas prior to a final building inspection or certificate of occupancy. 4. Construction limits shall lie a maximum of 15' seaward of improvements. 5. The construction access way shall be noted on the site plan as well as the stockpile staging area. 6. Stormwater from existing and proposed impervious cover associated with both lots shall be conveyed to stormwater management facilities. 7. If and when the shoreline is re -hardened, a rip -rap revetment shall be constructed in lieu of a vertical retaining structure (vinyl, timber or steel bulkhead). The toe of said revetment shall lie at or landward of mean high water or tidal vegetated wetlands. Said condition shall be so noted on the site plan. 8. Under deck treatment of sand and gravel shall be installed. 9. A maximum of 10% of Lot Y-1 and 5% of Lot Y-2 of the residual yard area not devoted to impervious cover may remain in turf. The residual 90% and 95% respectively, shall be devoted to buffer restoration — approximately 18,086 square feet for Lot Y-1 and approximately 19,390 square feet for Lot Y- 2. Said restoration shall utilize bayscape landscaping principles and incorporate a mulch layer of organic material 4" — 6" in depth. In addition to the aforementioned buffer restoration, a minimum of 34 trees shall be installed for Lot Y-2 and thirty- four (34) trees for Lot Y-1, tree species shall be comprised of 50% deciduous and 50% evergreen, and shall be evenly distributed throughout the lots to the greatest extent possible. Required buffer restoration and tree installation for Lot Y-2 shall occur prior to final plat recordation. Required buffer restoration and tree installation for Lot Y-1 shall occur prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. Said condition shall be so noted on the site plan. PYONG TU CHO Agenda Item 7 Page 2 10. A separate landscape / buffer restoration plan for each lot shall be submitted concurrent with the site plan / preliminary subdivision reviews detailing location, number, and species of vegetation to be installed. The landscape plan shall clearly delineate existing naturalized area (forest floor), planting beds, and turf zones. 11. The conditions and approval associated with this variance are based on the site plan dated April 1, 2006, prepared by Gallup Surveyors and Engineers Ltd. 12. There shall be no pier constructed for Lot Y-1 and Y-2 beyond what exists today, exclusive of sub -aqueous bottom. 13. A revised site plan shall be submitted to the Department of Planning, Development Services Center for review and approval prior to the issuance of a building permit. AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of less than 65 dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Inlynnview Road is a residential dead end street. There are no traffic counts for the street. Addition of one home will generate ten (10) additional ADT. WATER & SEWER: An eight -inch City water main increases to a 10 -inch City water main in Inlynnview Road. The site has an existing water meter, which may be used or upgraded. A separate water meter will be required for the new lot. There is an eight -inch City gravity sanitary sewer force main on Inlynnview Road fronting the lot. The site is connected to City sanitary sewer. A separate sanitary sewer connection will be required for the new lot. Analysis of Pump Station 215 and the sanitary sewer collection system will be required to ensure future flows can be accommodated. Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states: No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that: A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship. B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected. PYONG TU CHO Agenda Item 7 Page 3 C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance. D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions and topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by the use or development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self- inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance. E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is located at the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of this request. Evaluation: Evaluation of this request reveals that the applicant has not met the criteria listed in Section 9.3 and provided above. Application of the existing ordinances and regulations produces no undue hardship upon the site. The site can still be used and or redeveloped in accordance with the current ordinances and regulations. The existing lot shares the same topographical characteristics as other lots within the area and thus, this is not a valid reason for granting the variance. The existing neighborhood may be adversely affected with the introduction of lots smaller in size than those currently existing on the waterside of the street. While several variances to lot width have been approved in the past, those requests produced lots varying in size from 88,000 square feet to 33,500 square feet outside of water, marsh and wetlands. This request proposes lots of 28,628 square feet and 26,821 square feet outside of water, marsh and wetlands. Staff, therefore, cannot support the request.

Joseph Strange: The next item is item #7, Pyong Tu Cho. Appeal to Decisions of Administrative Officers in regard to certain elements of the Subdivision Ordinance, Subdivision of Pyong Tu Cho. Property is located at 1212 North Inlynnview Road, District 5, Lynnhaven. Barry Knight: Do you have a representative for the applicant? Ed Weeden: Richard Bartlett. Barry Knight: Is the applicant present? Richard Bartlett: A representative of the applicant. Barry Knight: That is fine. Welcome sir. Please state your name for the record. Richard Bartlett: My name is Richard Bartlett. I'm here on behalf of Mr. Pyong Tu Cho. This is Paul. This is his son. Paul Cho: My name is Paul Cho. Richard Bartlett: Mr. Cho desires to subdivide this property. I could have one of the slides? One more please. In Lot Y-1, which is left of the green line shown and Y-2, which is right of the green line shown there. It is presently a residence, which Mr. Cho occupies. Just below the letter Y to Lot Y-2, and that his is principal residence. The intent is to subdivide it so he can build another single-family residence on Lot Y-1 for his son, who is in Chicago. Mr. Cho started this process last spring, and in the spring of 2006, when the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act variance was requested. And I fully understand the difference between the Planning Commission and the CBPA Board. He went through the process of the CBPA and the CBPA approved, based on that indication there, a variance for that CBPA plan on July 24, 2006. The next step after that was to come before the Planning Commission; therefore, we request permission to legally subdivide the property so we can move forward on this. In the timeframe from July to when we made the application on behalf of the Cho's, Paul, Mr. Cho's son, has canvassed the neighborhood, having signatures or comments in support of this process here, and on North Inlynnview Road, and if you can go back a little bit? Go back please? On North Inlynnview Road, you can see it sort of goes to the left where the Crossness property is and then takes that left at the bottom of the screen. We've contacted about 80 percent of the residents along there, and everyone that he has contacted has signed a signature page that was submitted with the application package in support of that. The 20 percent that he didn't get are where they were not home where did not sign it. They didn't express a desire not to have it done, but they were either not available or desired not to sign it. He has received no opposition from neighbors whatsoever in support of this. The other thing that I wanted to note and it's important. Paul is going to hold this up here. Previous Planning Commissions have approved subdivision of lots in the neighborhood. I don't know if you can all see this. Ed Weeden: Mr. Bartlett? Try to stay next to the microphone. Richard Bartlett: I'm sorry. Okay. The green arrow here is Mr. Cho's lot. The orange rectangular coming out is Mr. Cho's lot. All the other red arrows are subdivided lots. These lots have all been subdivided with approval from previous Planning Commissions. There was a concern expressed that subdividing Mr. Cho's lot, which is approximately 2 - acres, and if we can go back again, Y-1 and Y-2 are approximately 1 -acre. I think one is .92 and 1.04. I think it is about 2 -acres. Several of these subdivisions have also been split, and that 1 -acre, and specifically Lot 3, have been separated into lots that are 1 -acre, as well as Lots 5 and 6 have and Lot 8. There have been other lots established through subdivision process that approximately equate the land area. Mr. Cho's should be subdivided. What were asking is that the Planning Commission be consistent with past Planning Commission rulings and apply the same criteria and allow him to subdivide his lots into two, approximately 1 -acre lots for future residential construction on Lot Y-2. Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions for Mr. Bartlett? We don't have any other speakers do we Mr. Strange? Joseph Strange: No. Barry Knight: No. Okay. Ms. Wood? Dorothy Wood: Mr. Bartlett, you do know that we did receive a letter from a neighbor who is in opposition. Richard Bartlett: I am not aware of that. Dorothy Wood: You have signatures from your adjacent neighbors, both of them, and the people across the street? Paul Cho: Next door ma'am. We have the adjacent. Yes. Dorothy Wood: Both sides? 2 Paul Cho: Not both sides, only one side. Dorothy Wood: And the other side was objecting? Paul Cho: Yes. Barry Knight: Ms. Katsias? Kathy Katsias: Could you show us on that site plan which neighbor objected? Barry Knight: There is a laser right there Mr. Bartlett. Richard Bartlett: This neighbor right here objected. We are not aware of the objection, because we don't have any record of any objection. Barry Knight: Would that be Mr. Edwards? Does Mr. Edwards live there? Paul Cho: Mr. Edwards lives across the street. He lives right there. Dorothy Wood: Yeah. Barry Knight: Okay. Richard Bartlett: His house is for sale. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Bernas? Jay Bernas: Could you show with the laser on that map you got, you have arrows where there were other subdivisions. Can you use the laser to show as existing lots, which ones? Richard Bartlett: This lot right here was subdivided and this lot here. Dorothy Wood: How big is that lot now? Richard Bartlett: Lot 3? Let me see. That is a result of a subdivision and those lots were 3.45 acres, 1.5 acres, .92, 1.87, and .97. All of these lots here have been subdivided on a larger parcel now consist of those five numbers here. So they run the gamut of .92 acres to 3.45 acres. Barry Knight: Ms. Katsias? Kathy Katsias: So, these two lots that you are trying to subdivide would be just a little bit more than a half -acre? z Richard Bartlett: No. Kathy Katsias: 25,000 square feet? Richard Bartlett: No. They would be .92 acres and 1.02 acres. Kathy Katsias: Okay. Barry Knight: Is that of high land? Richard Bartlett: I'm sorry. I didn't hear you. Barry Knight: Is that total acreage including high land and land that is in floodplain? Richard Bartlett: That is total acreage of the lot. Barry Knight: Total acreage. Mr. Ripley? Ronald Ripley: I don't know anything about the other variances at all. Since I've been on here, I don't think we've had any in this neighborhood. I can't recall any. But the staff had a problem because they couldn't find whether it was a hardship. Can you tell us what the hardship is that we need to address, because that is really what we need to look at here? Richard Bartlett: Right. And I understand that. Ronald Ripley: What is the hardship? Richard Bartlett: The only hardship that we are approaching here is that consistency be applied from previous Planning Commissions. Ronald Ripley: That is the hardship? Richard Bartlett: Yes. Let's not single out where other Planning Commissions have allowed it. Ronald Ripley: How is that a hardship? I don't understand. Is there a hardship relating to the property itself? Richard Bartlett: There is no hardship to the property itself. It is just the treatment of the individual. Ronald Ripley: Okay. So this is some sort of policy hardship basically that you are interpreting? Richard Bartlett: I wouldn't say policy. Whatever term you want to use, it is the standards of existence to the City of Virginia Beach. Ronald Ripley: Okay. I understand. Thank you. Richard Bartlett: Thank you. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Ms. Wood? Dorothy Wood: When was the adjacent property subdivided? I don't remember it either, and I've been on for seven years. Richard Bartlett: These here? Dorothy Wood: Yes sir. Richard Bartlett: 1987. Dorothy Wood: Quite a while ago. The Planning Commissions have changed through the years. Richard Bartlett: Yes. I understand that none of you here were on the Planning Commission in 1987. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Richard Bartlett: A couple of others were after that. Dorothy Wood: But they are not exactly in the neighborhood, are they, like Brittany Estates isn't exactly in the neighborhood? Richard Bartlett: Lot 2, which is right next to it, was done in 2000. It is just acreage. Lot 1, 2005, Lot 2 was 2000; so, we've had subdivisions in that area. My first comments were those that were comparable areas. Barry Knight: Mr. Henley has a question. Al Henley: The lot that will be created where the new home will go, you said it was roughly little over an acre. Approximately, what area of that parcel is wetland, marsh or water? Richard Bartlett: A percentage? Al Henley: Yes. e Richard Bartlett: My recollection of it, and I don't have a calculator but you're look at about 10 percent or so. Al Henley: So, 10 percent would be wetlands? The second question is that the resident to the left, the resident who lives there subdivided that parcel some years ago? Paul Cho: Next to the left they just built a house, and last year they moved in. Al Henley: Okay. Ed Weeden: Mr. Cho, you need to get to the mic. Paul Cho: Oh, I'm sorry. Right next to the left lot, they built a house, and they moved in last year. 038 and 481, and all three lots were one owner. They subdivided it. Al Henley: Okay. Thank you. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for the applicant? Thank you sir. Richard Bartlett: Thank you. Paul Cho: Thank you. Barry Knight: Mr. Secretary, you said we have no more speakers? Joseph Strange: No other speakers. Barry Knight: We'll open it up for discussion among the Commission members. Ms. Anderson? Janice Anderson: I would like to say hello to Paul. I haven't seen you in a long time. I've known Paul for several years, and his parents. They run a business near London Bridge, which I frequented several times, and they are - I think the world of Paul and his parents. So, they are wonderful people. But, I have reservations of supporting this, because I do not believe it meets the criteria we're supposed to look for a hardship. And, the hardship is really supposed to be for the subdivision. And the hardship is in the property and not in finance where it would be convenient for the Cho's to subdivide the property because they have sufficient land to put their son's house there. I know that is what they desire, but that is not a hardship. The property is rectangular shaped. It is not unusually large and I just can't believe, and we've got some letters from neighbors that say that they believe that it negatively impacts their neighborhood and the character of it. I just don't think it meets the qualifications. Barry Knight: Thank you Ms. Anderson. Is there anyone else? Ms. Katsias? Kathy Katsias: As the Lynnhaven representative, I totally agree with Ms. Anderson, and therefore, I except the recommendation of the Planning staff and support their recommendation. Barry Knight: Would you like to make a motion? Kathy Katsias: I make a motion to approve the recommendations? Barry Knight: To deny the application? Kathy Katsias: I mean to deny the application? Barry Knight: To deny? Okay. Kathy Katsias: Oh to deny. Right. Barry Knight: Okay. John Waller: I'll second it. Barry Knight: Okay. There is a motion on the floor to deny agenda item #7 by Kathy Katsias and a second by John Waller. Is there any other discussion? Mr. Bernas? Jay Bernas: The only thing that I'm struggling with is, and you're looking at it right now. You've got three flag logs on the same side of the street, and they are all close to each other. But I do agree with Commissioner Katsias and Commissioner Anderson's comments, and it seems like based on this table, that there is a significant area of these lots that would be in the marsh that are included in the lot size. Based on this table, the upland area of Y-1 is almost 27,000 square feet. The Lot Y-2 in the rear, the upland is almost 28,000 square feet. So, to me, I'm kind of struggling with the resulting size based on the upland area because there are a lot of wetlands that is included in the one -acre lots. Then you got those flag lots, and they are right there, directly adjacent on the same side of the street. So, I'm still kind on the fence. Barry Knight: Mr.. Ripley? Ronald Ripley: I tend to agree also, but I think for my point of clarification, Mr. Scott, it does meet that upland requirement doesn't it? Robert Scott: It apparently does. It's an issue of width. Ronald Ripley: Yes. That's it. Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? There is a motion on the floor by Kathy Katsias and a second by John Waller to deny. So a vote of AYE is to deny. We'll call for the question.

(GPIN —1476612829). DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE. MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: CH&B Associates is requesting approval of a conceptual site plan for a commercial shopping center. The request is not a change of zoning on the site for the purpose of allowing the shopping center, as the site has already been rezoned for that purpose in 2003. Moreover, the site has been designated as commercial since 1971 as part of a PUD (later PD -1-11) Planned Development Land Use Plan for the Brenneman Farm. This current request is for approval of the plan for the site, as required by the proffers of that rezoning. At the time of the 2003 rezoning, neither a concept plan for the site layout nor elevation drawings for the buildings were available. Thus, the applicant proffered the following: The Property shall not be developed until an application has been submitted for approval and acted upon by City Council in a timely manner with respect to a conceptual site plan addressing the design elements relating to the site, buildings, parking areas, landscaping and pedestrian and vehicular access. Thus, the specific purpose of this application is to review the design of the site, buildings, parking, landscape plantings, and pedestrian and vehicle access to and from and within the site. ■ Considerations: The submitted concept plan depicts a traditional strip -style shopping center (214,417 square feet total), anchored by a major tenant (shown as 48,706 square foot `grocery store' on the plan), with four (4) outparcels adjacent to S. Plaza Trail, a cluster of small shops adjacent to the intersection of Princess Anne Road and S. Plaza Trail, and a self -standing restaurant adjacent to Princess Anne Road. The cluster of small shops adjacent to the intersection provides a focal CH&B Associates, L.L.P. Page 2of3 point at that location, which is a desirable design feature under the Zoning Ordinance's regulations for retail establishments and shopping centers (Sections 243 - 249). Also located within the cluster of small shops is a landscaped plaza area, which is also a desirable design feature. Additional details pertaining to parking, vehicular and pedestrian access, building design, and landscape features are provided in the attached staff report. The submitted plans provide evidence that the retail center will be of high quality, consistent with the high quality of design established by the existing retail, residential, educational, office and institutional uses surrounding the site. The site and building designs are also consistent with the provisions of the retail design regulations contained within the City Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they concluded the proposal was consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan and the retail design requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, staff recommended approval, and there was no opposition. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 with 1 abstention to approve this request with the following conditions: 1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the concept plan entitled "Brenneman Farm Retail, Master Plan, Option X, dated August 30, 2007, submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. 2. The site shall be landscaped in substantial conformance with the concept plan entitled "Brenneman Farm Retail, Conceptual Planting Plan, Option X, dated August 15, 2007, submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. The streetscape plantings and features shall consist of the plantings described on such plan and as depicted on the rendering entitled "Conceptual Perspective, October 12, 2006", by Hines Design, submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. 3. The architectural design elements, exterior material finishes, and exterior colors of all buildings located on the site shall be substantially as shown on the renderings submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. 4. The primary identification signs for the development shall be located at the points shown on the plan described in Condition 1. Such signs shall be monument -style and shall be substantially as depicted on the rendering entitled "Conceptual Perspective, October 12, 2006", by Hines Design, submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. In no case, however, shall signage for the site exceed the requirements of the City CH&B Associates, L.L.P. Page 3 of 3 Zoning Ordinance. 5. Identification signs for the individual businesses within the buildings shown on the plan described in Condition 1 shall be located on the buildings substantially as shown on the renderings submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. There shall be no neon signs or neon accents installed on any wall area of the building, on or within any windows and / or doors, awnings, light poles, or any other portion of the site. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

White REQUEST: Approval of a conceptual site plan addressing the site and building design elements consistent with the existing commercial designation in accordance with proffers previously approved by City Council on September 9, 2003. ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located at the northeast corner of Princess Anne Road and South Plaza Trail. GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE: 1476612829 2 - KEMPSVILLE 27.6 acres CH&B Associates is requesting approval of a conceptual site SUMMARY OF REQUEST plan for a commercial shopping center. The request is not a change of zoning on the site for the purpose of allowing the shopping center, as the site has already been rezoned for that purpose in 2003. Moreover, the site has been designated as commercial since 1971 as part of a PUD (later PD -1-11) Planned Development Land Use Plan for the Brenneman Farm. This current request is for approval of the plan for the site, as required by the proffers of that rezoning. At the time of the 2003 rezoning, neither a concept plan for the site layout nor elevation drawings for the buildings were available. Thus, the applicant proffered the following: The Property shall not be developed until an application has been submitted for approval and acted upon by City Council in a timely manner with respect to a conceptual site plan addressing the design elements relating to the site, buildings, parking areas, landscaping and pedestrian and vehicular access. Thus, the specific purpose of this application is to review the design of the site, buildings, parking, landscape plantings, and pedestrian and vehicle access to and from and within the site. The submitted concept plan depicts a traditional strip -style shopping center (214,417 square feet total), anchored by a major tenant (shown as 48,706 square foot `grocery store' on the plan), with four (4) outparcels adjacent to S. Plaza Trail, a cluster of small shops adjacent to the intersection of Princess Anne Road and S. Plaza Trail, and a self -standing restaurant adjacent to Princess Anne Road. The cluster of small shops adjacent to the intersection provides a focal point at that location, which is a desirable design feature under the Zoning Ordinance's regulations for retail establishments and shopping CH&B Agenda Item 1 Page 1 centers (Sections 243 - 249). Also located within the cluster of small shops is a landscaped plaza area, which is also a desirable design feature. Parking is well distributed throughout the site in various groupings of spaces, with access to the groupings provided by an internal roadway system. The result is the elimination of the 'sea of asphalt' affect typical of older shopping centers. Additionally, parking spaces are located immediately adjacent to the small and medium-size shops located in the main shopping strip. A total of 1,261 spaces are provided, which exceeds the number required by the Zoning Ordinance. Vehicular access to and from the site is provided at two points on S. Plaza Trail, one point on Healthy Way, and two points on Princess Anne Road. The primary vehicular access point is at the existing intersection of Brenneman Trail and S. Plaza Trail, where a traffic signal will be necessary. The remaining access point on S. Plaza Trail and the two access points on Princess Anne Road will allow only right -in and right -out movements by vehicles. The access point on Healthy Way will be at a new median break on Healthy Way, and thus, will allow the full range of turning movements for vehicles. There is also an access point at the end of the cul-de-sac bulb for Healthy Way; however, this access is designated as being for delivery and service vehicles rather than customers of the center. Pedestrian access is provided throughout the center, with a number of connections to the public sidewalk system on Princess Anne Road and S. Plaza Trail. Walkways within the site are adjacent to the internal roadway system and are connected to walkways that cross drive aisles in the parking lots to connect with the walkways for each outparcel as well as the walkway fronting the main shopping strip. The walkway system also provides connectivity between outparcels and allows for ingress and egress from the site via walkways between that run between outparcels. Additionally, as required by the retail design provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, a wide landscaped walkway is located within the parking area in front of the anchor retail building, running from the entrance of that building through the parking lot and ending at the walkway adjacent to the internal roadway. Landscape plantings are provided throughout the site and within the parking areas, as required by ordinance. The 'plaza' area located at the cluster of small shops at the southern corner of the site has plantings of large shade trees, such as London plane trees, and small flowering accent trees, such as cherry trees. Adjacent to Princess Anne Road and S. Plaza Trail is a streetscape feature consisting of a white open -rail fence, crape myrtles, and evergreen shrubs, matching the streetscape feature already installed on the southeast side of S. Plaza Trail. This feature is instrumental in providing screening of the parking spaces and drive aisles located between the buildings adjacent to Princess Anne Road and S. Plaza Trail, as the retail design provisions of the ordinance require such screening when parking spaces and drive aisles are located between the buildings and the property line. The proposed buildings possess a mixture of Colonial, Modern, and Victorian style elements, which, combined, provide an interesting facade with a variety of patterns, materials, and colors. Specific elements include pediments, cornices, arches, pilasters, arcades, awnings, and a bracketed tower. Exterior material finishes include brick veneer and exterior insulated finish system (EIFS) with standing seam metal roofing on the pediment above the main anchor store and on the roof of the corner tower. In sum, the submitted renderings depict buildings that comply with the requirements of the retail design provisions of the City Zoning Ordinance. A condition to be added to an approval of the submitted site plan and the building elevations is recommended below to ensure that all of the buildings on the site will be of similar design, exterior finish, and colors.

There are no known features on the site of historical or cultural significance. AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of Less than 65 dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. ZONING HISTORY: The Brenneman Farm Land Use Plan was originally approved by City Council as a PUD in June of 1971. This plan was comprised of 241 acres and consisted of mixed residential uses with a total of 1,024 units, 16 acres of commercial development, and a 23 acre office park. No details of the development were provided other than a general land use plan. In 1982, the City Council rezoned all properties in the PUD zoning district in Virginia Beach to PD -H1. In 1992, 15 acres were rezoned from PD -H1 to R-10 Residential District and a Conditional Use Permit for the Catholic High School was granted. In 1998, City Council approved another amendment that resulted in a revised Land Use Plan. In 2003, the site was rezoned from PD -H1 to Conditional B-2, Conditional 0-2 and A-12 with a PD -1-12 Overlay. That rezoning resulted in all of the residential uses being on the southeast side of South Plaza Trail. The northwestern side of South Plaza Trail was rezoned for office (north and west of the new Bon Secours medical facility) and retail commercial uses (on the subject site). CH&B Agenda Item 1 Page 3 IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES TRAFFIC: Public Works / Traffic Engineering has reviewed the Brenneman Farms Retail Master Plan dated June 29, 2007 in regard to the proposed access to the retail center. Traffic Engineering is also currently reviewing the revised Traffic Impact Study for this retail center, dated August 2007, that shows the specific retail uses indicated on the Master Plan [NOTE: A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was done in 2003 with that rezoning; the TIS submitted with this current request is an update to the 2003 TIS based on the specificity of the proposed concept plan]. A summary of the trip generation for the retail center from the original TIS and revised TIS is provided below: Existing TIS: 10.730 ADT (average daily trips) weekday based on 250,000 s.f. retail shopping center. 935 trips P.M. peak hour TOTAL COMMERCIAL Revised TIS: 5,669 ADT weekday based on 55,446 s.f supermarket 5,747 ADT weekday based on 133,460 s.f. specialty retail 4,396 ADT weekday based on 21,511 s.f. (four) restaurants 986 ADT weekday based on 4,000 s.f bank 16,798 ADT weekday TOTAL COMMERCIAL 1,242 trips P.M. peak hour TOTAL COMMERCIAL The TIS indicates that a traffic signal will be warranted at the South Plaza Trail / Brenneman Trail / Retail Center Entrance intersection. The TIS concludes that a traffic signal will not be warranted at Healthy Way, Traffic Engineering, however, concludes that with the addition of the retail center traffic, the intersection could possibly meet traffic signal warrants in the future. Thus, the applicant will be required to post traffic signal bonds at the site plan submittal stage for both the Brenneman Trail and the Healthy Way intersections. WATER and SEWER: This site must connect to the City water and sewer systems. STORMWATER: The original City approved Master Storm Water Plan (MSWP) for the Brenneman Farm, prepared in 1998, includes a series of eight (8) interconnected wet ponds that ultimately discharge to the canal along the eastern boundary of the Brenneman Farm [NOTE: canal is located on southeast side of S. Plaza Trail, between the currently developing residential area and the Timberlake neighborhoods]. One of those eight ponds, Pond #7, was anticipated along the South Plaza Trail frontage on the commercial property. After going through conceptual planning for the commercial tract, however, it was quickly realized that the pond as shown on the original City approved MSWP would have to be relocated toward the rear of the property in order to achieve the goals of the development. It also became evident that the proposed pond was no longer an amenity since it was relocated to the rear of the development. The 1998 SWM Plan, however, showed another proposed small stormwater pond (Pond #3) northeast of the Bon Secours Property on the portion of the Brenneman Farm zoned Office along South Plaza Trail. From an amenity perspective, it was concluded that a single large pond on the Office property in lieu of two small ponds located on either side of the existing pond on the Bon Secours parcel is the best alternative and will provide the best opportunity to create an amenity using the stormwater ponds. Consequently, it was concluded that Pond #7 should be combined with Pond #3 to provide for the needed storage volume requirements stated in the City approved MSWP. Thus, stormwater for the subject retail development will be piped to this combined pond, which will be constructed to the northeast behind the existing Bon Secours medical facility. The result will be a single larger pond that provides a storage volume equal to or greater than that anticipated with Pond #7 and Pond #3 in the 1998 MSWP. CH&B Agenda Item 1 Page 4 The ponds that make up the Brenneman Farm pond system all have the same normal water surface elevation and are connected by submerged stormwater pipes such that the storage volume (volume in the pond above the normal water surface) provided in the pond system for runoff during storm events is shared for the entire Brenneman Farm development. The interconnected pipe and pond system on the Brenneman Farm is contained within a Public Drainage Easement. The MSWP was designed to establish basic parameters by which the future development should be based. Since the relocation of Pond #7 from the commercial parcel to the office parcel maintains the available storage volume for the runoff from the entire Brenneman Farm development, the proposed change will not significantly impact the existing or future developments on the Brenneman Farm. In addition, because the existing pipe and pond system is within a public drainage easement, no further legal arrangements are needed to allow a connection to the system. Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this conceptual site plan and building renderings with the conditions below. Evaluation: As noted at the outset of this report, this request is not a change of zoning for the site to allow the shopping center, as the site was already rezoned for that purpose in 2003. Moreover, the site has been designated as commercial since 1971 as part of a PUD (later PD -1-11) Planned Development Land Use Plan for the Brenneman Farm. This current request is for approval of the plan of development for the site, as required by the proffers of the 2003 rezoning. At the time of that rezoning, neither a concept plan for the site layout nor elevation drawings for the buildings were available. Thus, the applicant proffered the following: The Property shall not be developed until an application has been submitted for approval and acted upon by City Council in a timely manner with respect to a conceptual site plan addressing the design elements relating to the site, buildings, parking areas, landscaping and pedestrian and vehicular access. Thus, the specific purpose of this request is for approval of the design of the site, buildings, parking, landscape plantings, and pedestrian and vehicle access to and from and within the site. Staff concludes that the submitted plans provide evidence that the retail center will be of high quality, consistent with the high quality of design established by the existing retail, residential, educational, office and institutional uses surrounding the site. The site and building designs are also consistent with the provisions of the retail design regulations contained within the City Zoning Ordinance. CONDITIONS 1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the concept plan entitled "Brenneman Farm Retail, Master Plan, Option J", dated August 30, 2007, submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. 2. The site shall be landscaped in substantial conformance with the concept plan entitled "Brenneman Farm Retail, Conceptual Planting Plan, Option X, dated August 15, 2007, submitted to and on file with CH&B Agenda Item 1 Page 5 the Department of Planning. The streetscape plantings and features shall consist of the plantings described on such plan and as depicted on the rendering entitled "Conceptual Perspective, October 12, 2006", by Hines Design, submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. 3. The architectural design elements, exterior material finishes, and exterior colors of all buildings located on the site shall be substantially as shown on the renderings submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. 4. The primary identification signs for the development shall be located at the points shown on the plan described in Condition 1. Such signs shall be monument -style and shall be substantially as depicted on the rendering entitled "Conceptual Perspective, October 12, 2006", by Hines Design, submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. In no case, however, shall signage for the site exceed the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance. 5. Identification signs for the individual businesses within the buildings shown on the plan described in Condition 1 shall be located on the buildings substantially as shown on the renderings submitted to and on file with the Department of Planning. There shall be no neon signs or neon accents installed on any wall area of the building, on or within any windows and / or doors, awnings, light poles, or any other portion of the site. NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards. The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.

Approval of Conceptual Site Plan Northeast corner of Princess Anne Road and South Plaza Trail District 2 Kempsville September 12, 2007 CONSENT Barry Knight: Our next portion of the agenda will be the consent items. I'll let the Vice Chair handle this portion. Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Chairman. This afternoon we have 13 items on the consent agenda. The first item is agenda item 1. The application of CH&B Associates, L.L.P. This is an application for approval of a site plan addressing the development of commercial property. It is located on the northeast corner of Princess Anne Road and South Plaza Trail. It has five conditions. The application is in reference to proffers that were approved by the City of Virginia Beach Council on September 9, 2003. This is in the Kempsville District. Welcome Mr. Nutter. R.J. Nutter: Thank you very much Ms. Anderson. It is a pleasure to be here. For the record, my name is R.J. Nutter. I'm an attorney representing the applicant. We appreciate being on the consent agenda. I appreciate your consideration during the early morning session. The revised five conditions are fully acceptable to us. I would also like to state for the record, since this goes to Council, that we have met with the adjacent civic associations, the Catholic church and Bon Secours. All of them wrote letters in support. I have left a copy of those for Ed for the file. Thank you very much. Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Nutter. Is there any objection to this agenda item being placed on the consent agenda? I see none. The Chairman has asked Henry Livas to review this application. Henry Livas: As previously stated, this is for approval of a conceptual site plan for a commercial shopping center located at the northeast corner of Princess Anne Road and South Plaza Trail. This site was rezoned to allow for a shopping center in September 2003. At the time of the rezoning, neither a concept plan site layout nor elevation drawings for the buildings were available. Thus the applicant proffered that the property shall not be developed until an application has been submitted for approval. Thus, the specific purpose of this application is to review the design of the site, buildings, parking, landscape plans, pedestrian and vehicle access to and from within the site. A submitted concept plan depicts a traditional strip type shopping center approximately 214,417 square feet, anchored by a grocery store about 50,000 square feet. The Planning staff recommended approval of the conceptual site plan and building renderings. However, they did have some problems with the two accesses off of Princess Anne Road, but after consulting with Traffic Engineering, they determined that it is not as critical on that Item #1 CH&B Associates, L.L.P. Page 2 section of Princess Anne Road as other sections, and the Planning Commission has decided that two access sites would be appropriate; so, therefore, we eliminated condition 6. Therefore, we now recommend approval of the conceptual site plan. Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Livas. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion to approve agenda item 1. Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor. There is a second by Gene Crabtree. Ms. Katsias. Kathy Katsias: Mr. Chairman, I have to abstain from item 1. My company does business with the applicant. Therefore, I will not be able to vote on it. Barry Knight: Thank you. David Redmond: Mr. Chairman? Barry Knight: Yes, Mr. Redmond. David Redmond: I should also state with regard to CH&B. My company provides work for that applicant. I do not. However, on the advice of the City Attorney, I need only to disclose that fact. I do not believe it will affect me in any way from exercising judgment on it. Barry Knight: Mr. Weeden. Have you noted Ms. Katsias' abstention? There is a motion on the floor by Jan Anderson and seconded by Gene Crabtree to approve item 1. I'll call for the question.

The anchor tenant, Harris Teeter, will certainly be a welcome addition to the existing merchants in this area of Kempsville_ If these plans are adhered to, the upscale nature of the structures with the abundance of landscaping will be an asset to the entire Gables at Bellamy community. Your willingness to share this information with the association is greatly appreciated. Too many times things are designed, built and opened with neighboring communities only guessing until very late in the process. This `sneak preview' was a testament to: your role as a developer in the Tidewater area. You have the fbll support of the Gables at Bellamy Condominium Association as the plans for this project move forward.

Property is located at 6226 Providence Road (GPIN 1456335185). DISTRICT 1 — CENTERVILLE. MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: The Conditional Rezoning from B-2 Commercial District to Conditional A-36 Apartment District was approved by the City Council on January 23, 2007. A Conditional Use Permit for Senior Housing was also approved in conjunction with the rezoning request. The applicant rezoned the four -acre site to Conditional A-36 for the development of up to 144 senior housing, independent -living units within two (2) buildings. The applicant now desires to cover 44 of the parking spaces with a carport type structure and to add a maintenance structure. Neither the covered parking nor the maintenance structure was depicted on the original submittal. It is, therefore, necessary to modify the proffered plan from the original rezoning to allow those structures. ■ Considerations: At the time of the rezoning proposal, the applicant was unaware of the desire among potential residents for covered parking. The layout of the apartment buildings is not changing. The modifications to the plan are minimal in scope and will not negatively impact the proposal for senior housing apartments. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the modification to the proffered plan is minimal, the addition of the covered garages will provide an additional amenity to the development, and there was no opposition to the proposed changes. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes College Park, L.L.C.

A Conditional Use Permit for Senior Housing was also approved in conjunction with the rezoning request. The applicant rezoned the four -acre site to Conditional A-36 for the development of up to 144 senior housing, independent -living units within two (2) buildings. Senior housing is defined as facilities with dwelling units where at least one (1) family member is 62 years of age or older. The parking requirement is modified for these facilities to only one (1) space per independent dwelling unit. It is the applicant's intent to cover 44 of the parking spaces with a carport type structure and to add a maintenance structure. Neither the covered parking nor the maintenance structure was depicted on the original submittal. It is, therefore, necessary to modify the proffered plan from the original rezoning to allow those structures. The Conditional Rezoning has four (4) proffers: PROFFER 1: When the property is developed, it shall be substantially in accordance with the Preliminary Site Plan entitled "COLLEGE SQUARE SENIOR APARTMENTS, 6226 PROVIDENCE ROAD" dated 08/02/06, prepared by Engineering Services, Inc., which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and COLLEGE PARK Agenda Item 4 Page 1 is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning ("Site Plan").

PROFFER 3: When the property is developed, there will be no more than one hundred forty-four (144) independent senior housing units provided within the building depicted on the Site Plan. PROFFER 4: Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed Site Plan review and administration of applicable City Codes by all cognizant City Agencies and departments to meet all applicable City Code requirements. Proffer 1 tied the development to a specific plan that did not consider covered parking or a maintenance building on the property. As such, the applicant is required to gain approval for the proposed modifications shown on the plan. The elevation drawing for the maintenance building depicts a mix of vinyl and brick on the exterior with one (1) garage door and a pedestrian door.

Is there any objection to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? I see none. The Chairman has asked Al Henley to review the application. Al Henley: Thank you. The property is located on the north side of Providence Road, west of Indian River Road at 6226 Providence Road. The conditional rezoning from B-2 Commercial District to Conditional A-36 Apartment District was approved by the Council on January 23, 2007. A Conditional Use Permit for the senior housing was also approved in conjunction with the rezoning request. The applicant rezoned the four -acre site to Conditional A-36 for the development of up to 144 senior housing, independent - living units within two (2) buildings. Senior housing is defined as facilities with dwelling units were at least one (1) family member is 62 years of age or older. The parking requirement is modified for these facilities to only one (1) space per independent unit. It is the applicant's intent to cover 44 of the parking spaces with a carport type structure and to add a maintenance structure. Neither the covered parking nor the maintenance structure was depicted on the original submittal. It is, therefore, necessary to modify the proffered plan from the original rezoning to allow these structures. Staff recommended approval of this item. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommend that this item be placed on the consent agenda with the submitted proffers. Thank you. Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Henley.

Martin, Phone: 471-3502, represented the applicant Upon motion by Councilwoman McClanan, seconded by Councilman Baum, City Council ADOPTED an Ordinance upon application of ST. MICHAEL LUTHERAN CHURCH for a Conditional Use Permit: ORDINANCE UPON APPLICATION OF ST. MICHAEL LUTHERAN CHURCH FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A CHURCH R04881138 BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA Ordinance upon application of St. Michael Lutheran Church for a Conditional Use Permit for a church on the northwest side of Princes Anne Road, 103 feet northeast of Huckleberry Trail on Parcel One, Subdivision of Property of Alot Corporation. Said parcel contains 3 acres. PRINCESS ANNE BOROUGH. The following conditions shall be required: 1. A dedication of right-of-way for a right turn lane is required for the site from Princess Anne Road. 2. Improvements to the right turn lane may be required with future expansion of the church facilities. The requirement of turn lane construction will be determined during future detail site plan review. This determination will be based on the type and extent of the expansion and the additional need generated by the expansion. 3. Improvements for two left turn lanes may be required with future expansion of the church facilities to provide for safe U-turn movements. The required left turn lanes will be located eastbound on Princess Anne Road at its intersection with General Booth Boulevard and westbound on Princess Anne Road at its intersection with Huckleberry Trail. The requirement for turn lane construction will be determined during future detail site plan review. This determination will be based on the type and extent of the expansion and the additional need generated by the expansion. 4. As an alternative to the left turn lane improvements, it is suggested that the representative of the church negotiate rights of ingress and egress with the owners/developers of the adjacent property located to the northeast. If and when this property is developed and appropriate City ordinances allow for the ingress and egress of the church related traffic across the property, the church related traffic will be afforded access to the traffic signal at General Booth Boulevard and Princess Anne Road, thereby relieving the need for left turn lanes for U-turn purposes.

It is the application of St. Michael Lutheran Church. This is for a Modification of Conditions connected to a Use Permit that was approved by Council back on April 25, 1998, on property located 2208 Princess Anne Road, in the Princess Anne District. Welcome sir. Roger Whitaker: Thank you. I'm Roger Whitaker. I'm a member of St. Michael and Director of Church Operations. We appreciate you putting us on the consent agenda today. If you have any questions, I will try to answer them. I think it is pretty simple. Janice Anderson: Okay. Thank you Mr. Whitaker. It has two conditions. Have you reviewed those? Roger Whitaker: I have. Janice Anderson: Are they acceptable? Roger Whitaker: Yes. Everything is acceptable. Janice Anderson: Thank you very much. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? The Chairman has asked Gene Crabtree to review this for us. Eugene Crabtree: As Mr. Whitaker has said this is rather simple. The church has come before us a number of times in the past years for things that we have approved and City Council has approved various changes. In October 2004, there was one, August 2005, August 2006, and all of these conditions and requirements that were put on the church at that time still remain in effect. However, with this one, they just simply have a request to enclose this picnic area in order to make it a classroom that they can use for the church and expand their classroom uses. It does not impact on any parking. It doesn't impact on any additional number of church membership or activity in the neighborhood. Therefore, we thought it was a perfect item to be put on the consent agenda. Janice Anderson: Thank you Gene. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion to approve agenda item 10. Item #10 St. Michael Lutheran Church Page 2 Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor by Jan Anderson and seconded by Gene Crabtree to approve agenda item 10. I'll call for the question.

DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE. MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a church to be located within an office building. The office building consists of a number of suites in a condominium form of ownership. The applicant's suite is located at the southeast corner of the building. ■ Considerations: The church has services and meetings on Sundays from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., Wednesday 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., Friday 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m., and Saturday 8:00 p.m. until 12:00 p.m. There are currently two church staff members. The church's goal for the maximum number of individuals attending Sunday morning services is 150. The proposal to use this unit for a church is, as conditioned below, compatible with the other uses within this office complex and will not negatively impact neighboring properties. There are a total of 107 parking spaces located on this site. The Zoning Ordinance requires 30 parking spaces if the church's anticipated 150 individuals attend a service. As always, the parking for a church use in any retail or office complex peaks opposite of the retail or office uses. Staff concludes, therefore, that sufficient parking is available to accommodate the proposed use and the other tenants. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda, as they concluded the proposed use will not conflict with the other tenants of the office building and there was no opposition to the proposed use. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request with the following conditions: Victorious Living Church Page 2of2 The applicant shall comply with all applicable City requirements for building codes, including fire safety and suppression, required for a change of use from commercial to a place of assembly prior to the issuance of an Occupancy Permit for this unit. This includes obtaining a Fire Inspection, a Fire Code Permit, and a Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Official's Office. 2. The number of congregants at any service shall not exceed the occupancy number for the unit as established by the City's Fire Marshall. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

Rupert George: Thank you and good day. Thank you all the members. My name is Rupert George. I am the Pastor of Victorious Living Church. Janice Anderson: Pastor George? This has two conditions. Have you reviewed those and are those acceptable? Rupert George: Yes ma'am. Janice Anderson: Thank you. Rupert George: I just want to say real quickly. We are really looking forward to this happening. We thank God for the privilege of being a resource to the community. Most of our programs in ministry are outreach focus, so we plan on being a resource to the community spiritually, socially, educationally and financially. So, we look forward to this process. Janice Anderson: Thank you Pastor George. I'm sure it will be an asset to the community. Rupert George: Thank you. Janice Anderson: Thank you. Is there any objection to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? See none, the Chairman has asked Don Horsley to review this application for us. Donald Horsley: Okay. This Conditional Use Permit for a church in an office building is something that happens quite often in our City. It appears that the hours of the church and the hours of the surrounding businesses in the office do not coincide, so therefore, parking will not be a problem. There should be adequate parking. So, we think that this is a good use for that area, hearing no objections we put it on consent agenda. Item #9 Victorious Living Church Page 2 Janice Anderson: Thank you Don.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM . ITEM: Application of Willie Donald Martin, Jr. for a Conditional Use Permit for an automobile repair garage on property located at 1128 Barrs Road (GPIN 1459700591). DISTRICT 4 — BAYSIDE. MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site for an automobile repair garage. The applicant currently operates his business on Connie Lane and Connie Way. A street closure and conditional rezoning recently approved at that location to allow development of a multi -family project necessitates the need for the applicant to relocate. It is the applicant's desire to relocate to the subject property, which has been in his family for over 70 years. The site is located within Strategic Growth Area 1 — Northampton Boulevard Corridor Area. The Plan's policies for Strategic Growth Area 1 recognize that this area has evolved into a major employment center in South Hampton Roads with exceptional transportation access that serves its corporate and industrial clientele. A study has been undertaken jointly by the City of Virginia Beach, the City of Norfolk, and the Norfolk Airport Authority to assess the potential for comprehensive development of the area in which this rezoning request is located. The study, known as The Northampton Boulevard Corridor Master Plan Study, is currently in draft form and has not yet been approved by the City Council. City staff is currently in the process of determining implementation measures that will allow the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for this area to proceed. The draft study assemblage of land for high-intensity development, specifically multi -story class A and B office Campus Park with mixed uses to include flex/office, research and development, and light industrial and retail. ■ Considerations: The applicant proposes to construct an 8,000 -square foot building, 12 parking spaces, landscaping, and a six-foot chain link fence enclosing the site. The proposed building is a steel system building, 100 -feet in width by 80 -feet in depth. The proposed height ranges from 12 -feet to 20 -feet. While the proposed automobile repair facility would, at first glance, appear consistent with the development policies established for Strategic Growth Area 1, Willie Donald Martin, Jr. Page 2 of 3 a continuation of uncoordinated development efforts such as this are not consistent with the City's long-term vision and strategy for making this area an important and evolving office / industrial park. Unlike any of the other office - industrial parks in the city, the Airport Industrial Park is served by excellent Interstate and arterial highway access and a key railroad link that provides access to major external markets located in the region, state, and nation. The pending Northampton Boulevard Corridor Master Plan /Airport Industrial Park Expansion Plan for this office / industrial park corridor does not support the uncoordinated singular land use efforts that are starting to emerge in this office park. Additionally, the applicant has several other hurdles to overcome. First, the applicant must obtain approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to construct the building on the site. Second, the applicant must work with the Fire Department and the Permits and Inspections Division of Planning to install the required fire protection systems for the proposed use. Finally, the site is not served by public water or sewer, and the nearest water and sewer lines are over a half -mile away in Burton Station Road. Staff cannot support this application at this time due to these outstanding issues, and recommends indefinite deferral, providing the applicant an opportunity to address the obstacles above and staff time to finalize implementation strategies for Strategic Growth Area 1. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-2 to approve this request with the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall file the "Notice of Proposed Construction", Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Form 7460-1 as required by Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77 with regard to development in the Runway Protection Zone of Norfolk International Airport. A copy of the FAA approval shall be submitted to the City of Virginia Beach Planning Department before any site development and building construction plans are accepted for review. 2. If approved by the FAA, the site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted "BOUNDARY AND PARTIAL TOPOGRAPHIC SUREVEY OF 1128 BARRS ROAD — SITE 12, CORNICK FOARM — 2.71 ACRES for WILLIE MARTIN", prepared by East Coast Hydrographic Surveyors and Consultants, and dated 9/12//06, unless modification to the plan is required by the FAA approval. Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. Willie Donald Martin, Jr. Page 3of3 3. If approved by the FAA, the proposed building shall substantially conform to the General Steel Corporation Building Systems elevations submitted with the request. The sides and rear of the building may be steel building system. The front of the building shall be a combination of block and steel as depicted on the elevations. Said elevations have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file in the Planning Department. 4. The applicant shall work with the Virginia Beach Fire Department and the Permits and Inspections Division of the Department of Planning to obtain approval for the required fire protection systems. 5. Any proposed fencing around the building or site shall meet the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance Landscape Screening and Buffering regulations. 6.

Agenda Item 26 September 12, 2007 Public Hearing Staff Planner: Faith Christie REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit for an automobile repair garage "Q Willie Donald Marti r. ,7 i R -SO r . C IT rrx 4olor curer W.Ar" r&xh Siupj ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located at 1128 Barrs Road GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE: 14597005910000 4 - BAYSIDE 2.71 acres The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow SUMMARY OF REQUEST development of the site for an automobile repair garage. The applicant currently operates his business on Connie Lane and Connie Way. A street closure and conditional rezoning recently approved to allow development of a multi -family project on that site necessitates the need for the applicant to relocate. An 8,000 -square foot building, 12 parking spaces, landscaping, and a six-foot chain link fence enclosing the site is shown on the submitted site development plan. The proposed building is a steel system building, 100 -feet in width by 80 -feet in depth. The proposed height ranges from 12 -feet to 20 -feet. Application History: This request was deferred indefinitely at the June 13, 2007 Planning Commission meeting due to several issues: • A study has been undertaken jointly by the City of Virginia Beach, the City of Norfolk, and the Norfolk Airport Authority to assess the potential for comprehensive development of the area in which this rezoning request is located. The study area is bound by Lake Wright on the west, Northampton Boulevard on the south, Baker Road on the east, and Norfolk International Airport on the north, and comprises approximately 400 acres. The study, known as The Northampton Boulevard Corridor Master Plan Study, is currently in draft form and has not yet been approved by the City Council. City staff is currently in the process of determining implementation measures that will allow the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for this area to proceed. The draft study assemblage of land for high-intensity development, specifically multi -story class A & B office Campus Park with mixed uses to include flex/office, research and development, and light industrial and retail. Staff is continuing to work on the proposed plan; however it is not ready for public presentation at this time. WILLIE DONALD MARTIN, JR. Agenda Item 26 Page 1 The applicant must file the appropriate paperwork with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to construct the building on the site, as the site is within the Runway Protection Zone (Clear Zone) of Norfolk International Airport. The applicant has filed the Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration with the FAA as requied. • The applicant must work with the Fire Department and the Permits and Inspections Division of Planning to install the required fire protection systems for the proposed use, as there is no public water service at this loctaion. The applicant met with Fire Department Officials on-site to determine a method for fire protection. • The site is not served by public water or sewer, and the nearest water and sewer lines are over a half -mile away in Burton Station Road. This issue is not yet resolved. LAND USE AND ZONING INFORMATION EXISTING LAND USE: Three small sheds, totaling 712 square feet, an office trailer, and several semi -truck containers currently exist on the property. SURROUNDING LAND North: . Wooded parcel / 1-1 Light Industrial USE AND ZONING: South: . Wooded Parcel / 1-1 Light Industrial East: . Norfolk and Southern Railroad West: • Barrs Road NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is partially wooded and partially cleared, and is located within a CULTURAL FEATURES: Chesapeake Bay Area Resource Management Area. There are no significant natural resources or cultural features associated with the site. AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of Less than 65 dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. The site, however, is located within a Runway Protection Zone (previously the Clear Zone) for Norfolk International Airport. Additional information from the Norfolk Airport Authority is provided at the end of this report. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP).: Barrs Road in front of this site is a two-lane undivided local street. There is no Capital Improvement Program projects are slated for this area. In order to comply with current City standards, the following will be required during detailed site plan review: • Dedicate 15 -feet of right-of-way to further bring the ultimate right-of-way width to a 50 -foot WILLIE DONALD MARTIN, JR. Agenda Item 26 Page 2 minimum standard. • Provide right-of-way improvements in accordance with the City's 30 -foot typical roadway section. This may include pavement widening, curb and gutter, drainage, and street lighting. • Replace the existing gravel entrance with a VDOT standard entrance apron. TRAFFIC: Street Name Present Volume Present Capacity Generated Traffic Barrs Road No traffic No traffic counts available Existing Land Use — counts 206 ADT available Proposed Land Use 3- 49 ADT 'Average Daily Trips Zas defined by typical land uses in 1-1 Light Industrial zoning 3 as defined by automobile repair WATER and SEWER: City water and sewer are not available to the site. Health Department approval is required for the use of a private well and septic system. FIRE: The Uniform Statewide Fire Prevention Code requires an approved water supply capable of supplying the required water flow for fire protection be provided to the premises upon which the facilities, buildings or portions of buildings are constructed (Section 508.1). The closest approved water supply is a fire hydrant in front of 5805 Burton Station Road. It is located over 3,000 -feet from the proposed automotive repair facility, which is well over the maximum travel distance of 400 -feet for commercial buildings. Based upon this the Fire Department does not recommend approval of the request. STORMWATER: The referenced project must develop a stormwater management plan for water quantity and quality in accordance with the Public Works Specifications and Standards. The Preliminary Site and Landscape Plan do not show a stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) for the proposed request. It should be recognized that approval of this plan does not permit the exclusion of installing and adequately sizing a BMP for the site. If including a BMP impacts the proposed plan, the plan may be required to be resubmitted for revision approval. The project will need to identify adequate offsite receiving drainage systems. The proposed stormwater management plan must be designed in accordance with the Virginia Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit. The operations of the proposed facility must not impact the water quality of the downstream receiving storm drain systems. This property is located within a City of Norfolk watershed area and thus may be forward to the City of Norfolk for their stormwater review. Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff cannot recommend approval of this application at this time. An indefinite deferral is in order. Comprehensive Plan: The site is located within Strategic Growth Area 1 — Northampton Boulevard Corridor Area. The Plan's policies for Strategic Growth Area 1 recognize that this area has evolved into a major employment center in South Hampton Roads with exceptional transportation access that serves its corporate and industrial clientele. Proposals located near Norfolk International Airport must meet or exceed local, state, and federal aviation regulatory requirements as they apply to the proposed use, height, and stormwater management facility design. WILLIE DONALD MARTIN, JR. Agenda Item 26 Page 3 Evaluation: Staff recommends deferral of this request. A study has been undertaken jointly by the City of Virginia Beach, the City of Norfolk, and the Norfolk Airport Authority to assess the potential for comprehensive development of the area in which this rezoning request is located. The study area is bound by Lake Wright on the west, Northampton Boulevard on the south, Baker Road on the east, and Norfolk International Airport on the north, and comprises approximately 400 acres. The study, known as The Northampton Boulevard Corridor Master Plan Study, is currently in draft form and has not yet been approved by the City Council. City staff is currently in the process of determining implementation measures that will allow the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for this area to proceed. The draft study assemblage of land for high-intensity development, specifically multi -story class A and B office Campus Park with mixed uses to include flex/office, research and development, and light industrial and retail. While the proposed automobile repair facility would, at first glance, appear consistent with the development policies established for Strategic Growth Area 1, it is unclear how, in the long-term, a continuation of uncoordinated development efforts such as this will match up with the City's long-term vision and strategy for making this an important and evolving office / industrial park. Unlike any of the other office -industrial parks in the city, the Airport Industrial Park is served by excellent Interstate and arterial highway access and a key railroad link that provides access to major external markets located in the region, state, and nation. The pending Northampton Boulevard Corridor Master Plan / Airport Industrial Park Expansion Plan for this office / industrial park corridor does not support the uncoordinated singular land use efforts that are starting to emerge in this office park. Additionally, the applicant has several other hurdles to overcome. First, the applicant must obtain approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to construct the building on the site. Second, the applicant must work with the Fire Department and the Permits and Inspections Division of Planning to install the required fire protection systems for the proposed use. Finally, the site is not served by public water or sewer, and the nearest water and sewer lines are over a half -mile away in Burton Station Road. In sum, Staff cannot support this application at this time due to these outstanding issues, and recommends continued indefinite deferral, providing the applicant an opportunity to address the obstacles above and staff time to finalize implementation strategies for Strategic Growth Area 1. If those obstacles cannot be overcome, the application should be denied. NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards. The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.

This federal regulation requires the owner of the property to file the applicable "Notice of Proposed Construction" (FAA Form 7460-1) with the Eastern Region of the Federal Aviation Administration. The Airport Authority is not in a position to render any opinion regarding the determination of height restrictions in the Runway Protection Zone (previously clear zone) or other applicable surfaces in the vicinity of the Airport. Those determinations can only be made by the FAA. 2. The property is also subject to an easement applicable to the Airport which was granted by the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach on March 24, 1967 and is recorded in Deed Book 1000. Page 104. 3 The Airport Authority would prefer to see this property developed in keeping with an overall plan approved by the City of Virginia Beach for the entire Burton Station area rather than in a piecemeal manner that appears to be occurring. Our Authority has supported a number of studies undertaken by the City of Virginia Beach to determine the best approach AIRPORT AUTHORITY LETTER WILLIE DONALD MARTIN, JR. Agenda Item 26 Page 11 Nle;'-ULK Hlh,'NI} HUH raIj: May 'l) Arlt 14.:JY. U2 to coordinating the development of this critical area of the City. Without such a comprehensive plan for the orderly development of the subject area, the City will face a potential hodgepodge of development through piecemeal zoning. The Airport Authority urges the Planning Commission to deny the subject application and actively pursue the preparation of an aggressive comprehensive development plan for the entire Burton Station and surrounding area. The Authority is prepared to continue its support of that effort. We appreciate being advised of this matter and for the opportunity to provide our comments. Please advise if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance. Sincerely. I enneth R. Scott xecutive Director KRSfjpj WILLIE DONALD MARTIN, JR. Agenda Item 26 Page 12 Item #26 Willie Donald Martin, Jr. Conditional Use Permit 1128 Barrs Road District 4 Bayside September 12, 2007 REGULAR Joseph Strange: The next item is item 26, Willie Donald Martin, Jr. An application of Willie Donald Martin, Jr., for a Conditional Use Permit for an automotive repair garage on property located at 1128 Barrs Road, District 4, Bayside. Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am. Joyce K. Martin: Good afternoon to the Planning Commission and staff members as well. My name is Joyce Keeling Martin, and I've read the conditions that have been handed to me today, and they are in compliance and right in alignment with what we have received previously. The only thing that I have to address is that I did send the application to the Federal Aviation Administration, and I sent that by certified mail. I do have a signature and a receipt copy here, but I haven't received anything from them. My only concern is how long it will take them to approve it, because I'm ready to move on. This property has been in our family for I would say for 100 years or so or close to it. We actively anticipating seeing our elder son, Willie Jr., continue to be an economic asset in the City of Virginia Beach, where he has been operating for seven years in the auto body and paint business. And, with the FAA and any time possible, I'll have to add that, I will make all efforts to get that process and speed it up since those conditions 1 and 3 are directed in that direction. Barry Knight: Do you have anything to add Ms. Martin? Joyce K. Martin: Well, as I look at the conditions, and as I have already fore stated to some of the staff planners, item 4, I think was a standout in the original submission for the request for the Conditional Use Permit. And, in modern day technology, they no longer have a requirement for access to fire hydrant to provide water. Because the auto body and paint industry now, they use what they call an "industrial automatic fire suppression system", and my son basically explained it to me, since he has been doing it now for, I guess since he was about 15 or 16 years old and involved with the vocational program out of high school; so, he's been pretty much knowledgeable having to work for other persons who utilize this concept because it has the capability of doing more than watering things down. And, then in combination with that, we also have to meet the requirements of OSHA, as well as the EPA requirements, being that the type of work that we're doing in utilization of the product lines that we use with paints and polymers we use today, we have to meet certain requirements to protect the environment as such. We are doing a lot of that right now in our present operation. And, we know of the fact that Item #26 Willie Donald Martin, Jr. Page 2 we will be submitting a request to the Health Department of Virginia Beach to reactivate, which is already on the premises, a septic tank system as well as well water. Barry Knight: Do you have anything to add Ms. Martin? Joyce K. Martin: I have a lot to add, but I've been with you all day. I've enjoyed your presence, and I wanted an opportunity to get up here and share, believe you me, because I've waited along time for this. Barry Knight: It might be appropriate. I don't believe we have any opposition. Joseph Strange: Do you have anyone else in support? Joyce K. Martin: All of them had to leave, unfortunately, because they had other commitments which they had to address. Barry Knight: Now would probably be a good time to ask Ms. Martin any questions? Mr. Redmond? David Redmond: Mrs. Martin, how long have you been in this kind of line of work? Joyce K. Martin: Well, my son has been on his own now for 7 years going into 8, and all of his operations have been in the City of Virginia Beach. Being that he has poured some monies back into the economic climate of Virginia Beach, and he employs persons in the City of Virginia Beach, as well as for a long range plan, we're looking at providing a benefit that was afforded him in high school, and that is to provide a summer work program, as well as apprenticeship avenues for young men and women who desire to enter into this occupation as well, because it worked so well for him. My desire was that he would go to college and do something else but he fell in love with this when he took it as a vocation in high school. And, as I aforementioned, this property, where it is situated, has been in our family for some 90 something years or 100 years, if you go back and being very accurate and trying to go back and streamline the process. David Redmond: This is your principal means of support, this business? Joyce K. Martin: Yes it is. It is supports my son, his wife and his daughters. David Redmond: Thank you. Joyce K. Martin: Thank you. Barry Knight: Mr. Whitney, I think I see which way this may be going. I note there are no conditions on here or the conditions will be applied at site plan review? Maybe I missed them. Excuse me. David Redmond: Faith seemed to have disappeared. Item #26 Willie Donald Martin, Jr. Page 3 Barry Knight: No, she is there. David Redmond: Oh there she is. She is right behind Stephen. Okay. She has got a copy of that and she has handed it out. Barry Knight: You gave me too many pieces of paper today. Mr. Redmond, you have looked at the conditions? David Redmond: Yes. I've looked at the conditions, and unless Mrs. Martin has an objection to them, they seem appropriate to me. My view is that they owned this property, and I think Ms. Christie said since 1912. That would be 95 years. We have been developing a plan for this corridor for also about 95 years. I don't mean to be a smart aleck, but I think it is time that they had the opportunity to make the most productive use of this land that they can, unless there is some compelling reason why they shouldn't, and I can't find any compelling reason why they shouldn't. The staff s recommendations for a deferral not withstanding, and so, I understand, and I heard in the informal this morning from the gentleman from Economic Development who said that we continue to work on this plan. My fear is that we could be, and as he indicated, five years from now, still be working on the plan, and still have this family and a number of other families in limbo. I don't think it is fair to them to leave them in limbo. This is a concrete proposal. What they are proposing is not substantially different from what they are able to do by -right with the current zoning that they have. It just seems to me a fundamental issue of fairness that they be able to do that. So, at the appropriate time, I'm going to make a motion that we approve their application. Barry Knight: I'll get Ms. Anderson. Janice Anderson: Thank you. I understand your point David, and it is well thought of, and you brought up a lot of issues. But, I just can't support it, mainly because of the commitment that Economic Development is making towards this area. I would have to go along with the recommendation of the Planning staff for a deferral on any use that requires a Conditional Use Permit to be issued on the property. I would just have to defer it until the Master Plan comes out. Economic Development can give you a time when it is gong to be and actually put into place. But they are committed to it, and there seems to be some issues with the Norfolk Airport Authority, which haven't been worked out quite yet. So, I would take the position for a deferral. Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree and then Mr. Livas. Eugene Crabtree: I agree with David that this has gone on for years. And, we have penalized the people for not using their property over these current years. We don't know how long it will take Economic Development people to get a plan that is agreeable between the City of Virginia Beach and Norfolk and the airport all three. So, my position is to support it and let them go ahead with their business. And when, and if, this plan Item #26 Willie Donald Martin, Jr. Page 4 comes about between the three cities, then we will address to what happens to their property at that time. Barry Knight: Mr. Livas? Henry Livas: Yes. I want to state that I support the project too, and we are talking about our staff's recommendations. They indicated they wouldn't approve it, and this is because they're waiting on the Economic Development report along with the City of Norfolk and the City of Virginia Beach. In my notes here, it says that is not a real reason not to approve something because we're waiting on studies. And, as he has stated, those studies could take five or ten more years; so, I'm of the inclination to go ahead and support the project, and I agree with David. Barry Knight: Mr. Redmond? David Redmond: Mr. Chairman, I make a motion that we approve the application of Willie Donald Martin, Jr., agenda item 26 with the nine conditions that were provided by staff. Barry Knight: Mr. Livas? Henry Livas: I'll second it. Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor to approve agenda item 26, Willie Donald Martin, Jr., made by Dave Redmond and seconded by Henry Livas. Is there any discussion? I'll call for the question. Ed Weeden: By a vote of 9-2, the application of Willie Donald Martin, Jr. has been approved. Barry Knight: Mr. Secretary?

CUP for Indoor Recreational Facility GN Stu �t z! CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: Application of Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use Permit for an indoor recreation facility on property located at the southeast intersection of Holland Road and Warwick Drive (GPIN 1495086742). DISTRICT 6 — BEACH. MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site for an indoor recreational facility within a structure of 115,000 square feet. The site is zoned B-2 Community Business, allowing a variety of by -right retail commercial and related uses. The currently undeveloped site is located in a Primary Residential Area, as designated by the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan recognizes the importance of preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods in the Primary Residential Area. Development adjacent to stable neighborhoods should generally try to reinforce rather than change the positive character of neighborhoods. ■ Considerations: This is a proposal for a year-round, multi -sport facility consisting of playing fields for soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, and flag football. Also proposed within the building are a locker room, a party room, and a small gym. A limited amount of bleachers will be provided surrounding the fields, which is typically used by family members watching their parents or siblings play. The facility is geared towards the athlete rather than the spectator. The site plan depicts a 35 -foot high building located in the middle of the property with parking on both sides. The bottom portion of the structure will have aqua color split -face block and beige to gray horizontal metal panels above. A translucent light band is shown at the top of the walls, just under the roof, in lieu of sky lights in the roof, to provide natural light into the building. The main, covered entrance will face Holland Road. The Zoning Ordinance requires 1 parking space for every 100 square feet of floor area, which results in 1,103 spaces for this proposal. The applicant has indicated that this number is well beyond their needs and is requesting that the parking requirement be reduced to 464 spaces. The structure is proposed 60 feet from Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 2 of 4 the eastem property line, the property line adjacent to the Scarborough Square neighborhood. Category IV buffering is proposed along this property line behind existing residential dwellings. The landscaping transitions to streetscape landscaping as it fronts Old Clubhouse Road. Landscaping beyond the minimum standards is depicted on the plan. A dumpster is depicted behind the building, and Staff is recommending a condition to relocate it away from the residential dwellings. The City has consulted with industry -experts Brailsford & Dunleavy to study the need for and marketability of an indoor sports facility such as this. The general conclusion of the study indicated that there is a need for such a facility similar to the size, type and scale of the applicant's proposal. The study does indicate that the facility may be most successful if it were located within the athletic village of the City's Princess Anne Commons area in order to take advantage of the proximity to supporting amenities. The applicant has met with the Parks and Recreation Department staff and is aware of the findings of the report. Staffs conclusion is that the proposed use will generate far less traffic than a typical by -right use, such as a shopping center and will be more compatible to the neighborhood than most by -right B-2 projects. In addition, the indoor recreation facility is an accepted and compatible use within the AICUZ, and the plan depicts landscape material well beyond the minimum requirements. Further, Staff is confident that the limitations and conditions recommended below ensure that the proposed use will be acceptable and compatible. There was opposition to the request. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request with the following conditions: 1. The development of the property shall be in substantial conformance with the plan entitled, "Virginia Beach Indoors Sports Complex Preliminary Site Plan," prepared by The Spectra Group, dated June 29, 2007, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 2. The final landscape plan shall reflect the landscape material depicted on the plan entitled, "Virginia Beach Indoors Sports Complex Preliminary Site Plan," prepared by The Spectra Group, dated June 29, 2007, and all other applicable landscape requirements. Said landscaping shall be submitted to the Development Services Center of the Planning Department with the final site plan. 3. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) shall be submitted with the final site plan. This study must be approved by the Public Work's Traffic Engineering Division and Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 3 of 4 any recommendations of the TIS must be reflected on the final site plan prior to approval of the final site plan by the Planning Department / Development Services Center. 4. The Public Works Traffic Engineering Division must approve locations of any and all vehicular ingress/egress points as well as the number of ingress/egress points prior to final site plan approval noted above. 5. HVAC equipment shall be located adjacent to the building along the southern facade, at least 200 feet from the eastern property line. All HVAC equipment shall be caged and screened with evergreen shrubs so as to be unobtrusive from the right-of-way. The location of said equipment and screening shall be depicted on the final site plan. 6. Any dumpster or trash receptacle shall be located no closer than 100 feet from the eastern property line. 7. A Photometric (Lighting) Plan shall be submitted for review and approval with the final site plan submission to the Development Services Center. Such lighting plan is to include height of poles located within the parking lot, as well as the location of all pole -mounted and building -mounted lighting fixtures. Illuminating Engineering Society of North America light standards shall be used. 8. A full engineering hydraulic analysis of Pump Station Number 548, as deemed necessary by the City of Virginia Beach Department of Public Utilities, shall be conducted and reported to the Development Services Center during final site plan review to ensure flows from this proposal can be accommodated. 9. Any freestanding signage, other than directional signs, shall be limited to a monument style sign, no taller than eight (8) feet in height, without movable copy, and constructed with materials and color scheme that match the exterior of the main structure. 10.Building mounted signage shall be limited to the comers of the structure as depicted on the elevation entitled, "Virginia Beach Indoor Sports Complex," prepared by the firm baskervill, and shall not exceed 15 percent of the length or height of the facade. The use of neon or other signage inside any of the building's fenestration or windows shall be prohibited. 11.A solid fence shall be installed where appropriate, in combination with Category IV landscaping, along the eastern property line in order to shield motor vehicle headlights from view. It is understood that the height of the fence will vary between four (4) feet and six (6) feet in order to meet the Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 4of4 requirement of the City's Zoning Ordinance. Said fencing shall be depicted on the final site plan. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

The bottom portion of the structure will have aqua color split -face block and beige to gray horizontal metal panels above. A translucent light band is shown at the top of the walls, just under the roof, in lieu of sky lights in the roof, to provide natural light into the building. The main, covered entrance will face Holland Road. RAPPAHANNOCK Agenda Item 15 Pagel LAND USE AND ZONING INFORMATION EXISTING LAND USE: wooded site SURROUNDING LAND North: . Warwick Drive, vacant woods / B-2 Community Business USE AND ZONING: District South: . Apartments / A-18 Apartment District East: . Townhouses, duplexes / A-18 Apartment District, R -5D Duplex District West: . Holland Road, townhouses / PD -H1 District NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is predominately wooded. Older growth trees exist along the CULTURAL FEATURES: east property line; however, these are slated for removal. Other than the trees, there does not appear to be any significant environmental or cultural resources on the property. AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of 70-75 dB Ldn and a small portion in APZ-2 surrounding NAS Oceana. After clarification of the exact nature of the proposed use as an indoor recreation facility, the application was determined to be compatible within this AICUZ by both the City and Navy representatives. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): This section of Holland Road is shown on the Master Transportation Map for improvements on a 130 foot right-of-way. These improvements are proposed as part of CIP 2-008, Holland Road Phase VII. This project is currently shown as "not funded / inactive" in the CIP. The Public Works signalized intersection analysis report from 2006 shows that the Holland Road and Warwick Road intersection has a peak hour volume to capacity ratio of 0.81, which indicates that this signalized intersection currently operates at acceptable levels. TRAFFIC: Street Name Present Volume Present Capacity Generated Traffic Holland Road 33,200 ADT T 32,700 ADT (Level of Existing Land Use — (1,315 Peak Service "D") — 34,500 ADT 5,500 ADT Hour Trips) ' (Level of Service "E") Proposed Land Use 3— (1,710 —1,800 Peak Hour 4,000 ADT (240 Peak Tris) Hour Trips) 'Average Daily Trips Y as defined by typical uses on 10 acres of commercial zoning 3 as defined by proposed use RAPPAHANNOCK Agenda Item 15 Page 2 WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is an eight (8) -inch City water main in Warwick Drive, a six (6) -inch City water main in Old Clubhouse Road, and a 16 -inch City water main in Holland Road. SEWER: This site must connect to City sanitary sewer. There is an eight (8) -inch gravity sanitary sewer main in Warwick Drive and an eight (8) -inch gravity sanitary sewer in Old Clubhouse Road. Pump station #548 is the receiving station for this site. This station has capacity issues and may require system modification. As such, a full engineering hydraulic analysis will be required during final site plan review. Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. Comprehensive Plan: This site is located in a Primary Residential Area. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods in the Primary Residential Area. Development adjacent to stable neighborhoods should generally try to reinforce rather than change the positive character of neighborhoods. The Plan states that: "Limited commercial or institutional activities providing desired goods or services to residential neighborhoods may be considered acceptable uses on the edge of established neighborhoods provided effective measures are taken to ensure compatibility and non-proliferation of such activities." In general terms, this means that the established type, size and relationship of land uses, both residential and non- residential, in and around neighborhood areas should serve as the guide when considering future development proposals (page 89). Evaluation: The applicant has worked closely with Staff in order to develop a site layout that eliminates any negative impacts to the surrounding property owners, particularly the residential neighborhood to the east. As the site is heavily wooded, the loss of almost 10 acres of trees will be visually dramatic. Understanding this, Staff is recommending the below conditions to further improve the proposal. These conditions address lighting, noise, landscaping, aesthetics, signage and quality of life issues. When originally submitted, the plan depicted a different layout and more than 600 parking spaces. That initial plan proposed parking behind the structure, closer to the existing residences, and depicted a larger building. The applicant has been very open to suggestions for improvement in order to present the best plan possible. In addition to playing fields, there will be locker rooms, a party room, and a small gym. A limited amount of bleachers will be provided surrounding the fields. According to the applicant, this seating is typically used by family members watching their parents or siblings play. The facility is geared towards the athlete rather than the spectator and as such, was deemed compatible with the AICUZ. The City has consulted with industry -experts Brailsford & Dunleavy to study the need for and marketability of an indoor sports facility such as this. The general conclusion of the study indicated that there is a need for such a facility similar to the size, type and scale of the applicant's proposal. The study does indicate that the facility may be most successful if it were located within the athletic village of the City's Princess Anne Commons area in order to take advantage of the proximity to supporting amenities. The applicant has met with the Parks and Recreation Department staff and is aware of the findings of the report. Staffs position is the proposed use will generate far less traffic than a typical by -right use, such as a shopping center and will be more compatible to the neighborhood than most unconditional B-2 projects. RAPPAHANNOCK Agenda Item 15 Page 3 In addition, the indoor recreation facility is an accepted and compatible use within the AICUZ, and the plan depicts landscape material well beyond the minimum requirements. Further, Staff is confident that the limitations and conditions recommended below ensure that the proposed use will be acceptable and compatible. CONDITIONS 1.

Conditional Use Permit Southeast intersection of Holland Road and Warwick Drive District 6 Beach September 12, 2007 REGULAR Barry Knight: Mr. Secretary, the next item to be heard. Joseph Strange: The next item to be heard is item 15, Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. An application of Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use Permit for an indoor recreation facility on property located at the southeast intersection of Holland Road and Warwick Boulevard, District 6, Beach, with 11 conditions. Barry Knight: Welcome back Mr. Bourdon. Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Chairman. Again, for the record, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach attorney, representing the applicant. Two of the principals of the applicant have come down today and are here, both Tom and John Wack. I apologize. I have a couple of handouts and if you all can share. A lot of the information is going to be on the PowerPoint but there are a few bits of information in these handouts that are not, and I'll go over some of the information, and I'll pass these around. David Redmond: Thank you sir. Eddie Bourdon: The application is one for a Conditional Use Permit. It is for a proposed Virginia Beach Indoor Sports Complex. The land itself, which is the subject of the application, is on the east side of Holland Road at the intersection with Warwick Drive. It is a 10 '/z acre parcel of land that is zoned unconditional B-2 General Commercial Zoning District. This is not a rezoning of that commercially zoned property. It is a Use Permit for an indoor sports complex. The proposal is one that involves a use that the city very, very, very desperately needs. We have a number of groups and organizations who are supportive of this request. We did not impinge upon their time to have them all come out today. They are planning on coming to the City Council hearing on this application. The facility is one for indoor recreation. It is not a spectator facility. It is a number of fields, you see what I passed around, it is actually on the PowerPoint, shows the interior of the facility. It is all indoors. It has indoor recreation fields, larger and small. It is not like an outdoor field. They are still smaller than that. You're typical game on one of these fields is going to involve 12 to potentially 16 participants. The sports that are the primary utilization of these fields are indoor soccer, indoor field hockey, indoor flag football, and indoor lacrosse, and lacrosse is an activity that is gaining a great deal of popularity in this area. The use of the facility is 55 percent adult or will be 55 percent adults, 45 percent youth. There are leagues that use these facilities there are adult Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 2 leagues, year round adult leagues and seasonal adult leagues as well as youth leagues. Obviously the primary time of the year when this facility will be utilized is during the cooler weather months, and the winter months, November through March but it is a year round facility. The peek times that this facility would be used are in the afternoon and evenings during the weekdays basically from 4:00 in the afternoon until 10:00 and on weekends pretty much all day 10:00 o'clock until 10:00 o'clock. If you go back to the site plan, what we have done is that we have designed the facility so that it is centered on the property. We have proposed one access point with a right -in, right -out on Holland Road. We got a signalized intersection at Warwick Drive, and again, one access on Warwick Drive to the facility roughly half way back from the property itself. We set the building from the rear property line, 60 feet in. The height of the building to the eave is 331/2feet and to the peak of the roof is 35 feet. Obviously it is a pretty flat roof. There is a little bit of slope there. The parking that we have provided is actually 464 parking spaces depicted on the plan. Based on their experience, based on the number, again this is not a spectator facility. This is for participants. You will have some family members that will come and watch and for that purpose there are some minimal, like three or four rows of bleachers, but you don't have any real spectators other than family members there. But the parking that is depicted far exceeds the need at the reduced amount that is shown, far exceeds what the history of the similar facilities will be. We do not project at any point in time to have more than 400 people in the facility, which the provision for 464 parking spaces clearly exceeds what we're going to have in terms of people in the facility. The most optimistic of scenarios, you might have more than 400 but not very many more than 400. By contrast, a shopping center use on the property would involve a shopping center potentially being built without anybody's approval, 15 feet from the eastern property line, the access to the shopping center of this size is more likely going to be greater but certainly not less than what is shown here. I would point out that we will doing a traffic impact study to ascertain, if this is approved, with the site plan approval, whether a turn lane other than on Holland Road where there is another lane is possibly necessary on Warwick Drive or any other potential improvements that traffic may deemed necessary on the impact study but based on, as your staff has pointed out, if it were developed as it is currently zoned for, which we are not changing the zoning but as a commercial site you would actually have a far greater number of trips per day then the exaggerated number of trips per day. I don't mean intentionally, but this type of facility there aren't a huge number of them. My clients have the benefit of operating one in Fredericksburg and they keep very meticulous numbers on the people who come to the facility, and so they are able to, and we believe, accurately project the usership of this property, and the traffic that it would generate. We worked closely with staff on this application. We have absolutely no disagreement with any of the conditions that have recommended, with condition #5 on HVAC being revised, as you believe have to 150 feet back from the property. The HVAC will be screened and buffered. We can put it on the roof or we can put on the ground, either one. We also agree to move the dumpster per the condition that is shown on the site plan. The dumpster is actually depicted on the back and that will be moved per the condition. This is where it is shown (point to PowerPoint) but that dumpster will be moved up in this area here, and will be totally screened and enclosed. There is a solid fence proposed along the rear property line or the Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 3 eastern property line. In this area it would be four foot high fence because of the presence of Clubhouse Road with the Leland cypress of whatever trees that will be planted in the row behind it. In this area of the these single family homes, the fence would be able to be a six foot high fence versus a four foot high fence, again, all of the landscaped area to the west of that. The issue, I assume, and I did meet with the civic league. Frankly, the only comments that I received at that meeting were actually positive comments but there wasn't a whole lot said. Traffic is the issue. We're reducing traffic with this application versus what can be done on the property by -right. There is really no morning peek issue at all. The only traffic that's of any consequence that would have any affect on anyone would be p.m. peek traffic, and again, it is a far lesser use than the commercial use that the property is zoned for, although this is a form of a commercial use. It is in the highest noise zone. And it is in APZ2. Because it is not a spectator facility, it is perfectly acceptable under the OPNAV and AICUZ and JLUS provision in our Zoning Ordinance because of the type of the larger on a much large piece of property, the gym that was approved for the church earlier, similar even though it is not an APZ2, similar high noise zone, similar type use just on a larger scale. Again, the conditions are all acceptable. I'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon at this time? Ms. Anderson. Janice Anderson: Eddie, the back into the neighborhood. There is no parking up to that fence right? Is that green space? Eddie Bourdon: That is all green space Ms. Anderson. From this point back (pointing to PowerPoint) is all green space. And actually on the ends, it is a little bit more than 60 feet of green space. And this obviously will go away with the relocation of the dumpster, which is Condition 4 or 6, I believe, in to this area here. The HVAC would be located towards Holland Road in front of where the dumpster would be or it can be on the roof, either one. Janice Anderson: Okay. Eddie Bourdon: It will all be moved forward. Janice Anderson: Can you just tell me how this facility works? Do people become individual members? Or like you said, there are groups. Do the groups become members? How does it work? Eddie Bourdon: The reality is that you have leagues that are primarily year round leagues for adults. You have some teams that will rent space and utilize the fields for practice especially during the bad months. But you are a member if you're on a team or you can become a member and get on a team but it is basically team oriented. It is not individually oriented use. It is teams that compete in these different sports or practice those particular sports as a group or as a team. Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 4 Janice Anderson: One of the pictures and how they're set up, each field is walled. It looks like it is walled? Eddie Bourdon: It is plexi -glass. It keeps balls from going over to the adjacent field. It is a significantly sized facility but when you're talking about playing games with lacrosse balls or soccer balls, it would disruptive of any type of continuity to the game to have balls flying across the field from the field next door. That is the purpose for the walls. I mean indoor soccer, which I have, a greater familiarity with, and you actually play the ball off the wall. It is part of the game is to play the ball off the wall. Janice Anderson: Okay. Then the hours would be 10:00 o'clock. Eddie Bourdon: No. 10:00 o'clock is the end of the peek. There are leagues that will go in and will use the facility. They will have practice after 10:00 but 10:00 o'clock and when you look at the numbers of people that are in the facility after 10:00 o'clock, it drops from 150 to 160 total down into the 60 to 80 range, and then drops off, obviously midnight, which you don't have in any people to speak of. Janice Anderson: So is it open 24 -hours? Eddie Bourdon: No. It is not open 24 -hours a day. It will depend. During the winter months when there is a tremendous demand because teams can't practice outside and we don't have the facilities to practice, during the winter months it is certainly conceivable that you may have people in there practicing even after midnight to say 1:00 o'clock in the morning. It is not beyond the realm of possibility. But it is all inside. There is nothing going on outside other than people parking their cars and getting out and going in. There are no outside activities. There is no one washing their cars, no one pumping gas. There is nothing happening outside other than getting into the facility and out of the facility. Janice Anderson: Okay. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Crabtree? Eugene Crabtree: Eddie, I noticed that King's Daughters owns the property. Eddie Bourdon: Yes sir. Eugene Crabtree: Have they pursued somewhere in the past other endeavors for this piece of property? Eddie Bourdon: The property was acquired by them for the purpose of developing a medical complex, and my understanding of this is with the Sentara/Princess Anne Commons Project, they were prevailed upon to put their assets into that project. Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 5 Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Mr. Bourdon? Thank you. Eddie Bourdon: Thank you very much. Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have Lyn Henry. Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am. Please state your name for the record. Lyn Henry: Thank you. My name is Lyn Henry. I am a concerned member of the Scarborough Civic League. I had prepared a whole thing to speak of but after hearing Hunt Club, and everything that has gone on this morning, so I'm just going to speak. We just recently won the Raceco issue. And based on that, we are still concerned about this project. The entrance onto Warwick Drive, I understand there was a car counter there. I called and spoke with Public Works this morning. They could not give me the totals for that yet. We are very interested in seeing what they came up with as far as the traffic on Warwick Drive. It is already a very busy street. It is our only entrance to our neighborhood. It is our only exit to our neighborhood. Now there are short cuts through Cardinal Estates but those all go out to Shipp's Corner, and that is a high traffic area too, without an outdoor Sportsplex and the Moose Lodge getting ready to open on Shipp's Corner. We have bus stops in the area of the general vicinity of this place. Our traffic concerns, our trees are going to be gone. They are going to demo everything, all of the trees on this beautiful lot, and nothing but this building and parking spaces. We have real concerns about this. We actually got to speak to the Rappahannock representative one time. We were a little pre -occupied at the time because we had something bigger on our plate that was coming in front of City Council. We would like, I guess rather than oppose it, we would like a deferral so we can get some more information and maybe work a little closer with them on this project. Please take the time to consider this because it is going to be in our front yard. I mean our main entrance is right there. We're going to have to pass it every day to and from our homes. Thank you. Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Ms. Henry? Ms. Henry, when you're looking for a deferral for more information, do you have any questions right now that you need answered or do you know of any questions? Lyn Henry: We would like to sit down as a civic league and ask the questions. We downloaded the agenda item off the internet and not all of us have had to time to look at that. There have been some revisions to what we were originally proposed or what we were presented with at the civic league meeting. There are a huge number of questions we would like to ask. Barry Knight: Mr. Livas and then Mr. Bemas. Henry Livas: Did you ask some of those questions at the meeting that you had? Lyn Henry: We did. Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 6 Henry Livas: Were they responsive? Lyn Henry: To a point. But at that time, our big priority was a different issue and that is what we were focusing on. Mr. Bourdon represented both issues. At that time, our biggest issue was the Raceco and getting through that situation. This was secondary at the time because we have one meeting a month, and the next City Council meeting was coming up quick on us. Barry Knight: Mr. Berms? Jay Bernas: So, just in general, are you concerned about the use that it is an indoor recreation facility that I would think the young teenagers and the young families would possibly want to utilize it. Lyn Henry: If you're part of a league, which we're concerned about it. We are a moderate family income neighborhood and we're afraid that this place is going to be priced out of our means that we're not going to be able to have access to it. It is not going to be like a recreation center like Bow Creek Recreation Center. You have to be part of a league to be able to even participate and to use this facility. So, anyone of our children in our neighborhood could not go and use one of the courts or one of the fields. It is not going to be like that. It is not going to be an open door recreation type center. You have to be a member of a league and that is part of our concern, the financial aspect of it. Barry Knight: Do you a question for Ms. Henry? Okay. Thank you ma'am. Joseph Strange: Our next speaker in opposition is Inez Gilles. Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am. You can tell us your name. Inez Gilles: Good afternoon Council. My name is Inez Gilles. My concern is the traffic that is going to come at the entrance of Warwick Drive, just Warwick Drive. And, the times, and he said something about 10 to 10. The school buses, you know they come, you know what I'm saying, between that time. And you got kindergarteners, you know that get out at 12:00. Those are my concerns. The traffic and whether or not this facility will be an asset to the neighborhood. That is about it. Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Ms. Gilles? Okay. Thank you ma'am. Inez Gilles: Thank you. Joseph Strange: Our next speaker in opposition is Carl Wright. Barry Knight: Welcome sir. Please state your name for the record. Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 7 Carl Wright: Yes. My name is Carl Wright and I live 1144 Mondrian Loop in the Scarborough Square Borough. As Ms. Henry said, we just fought back an issue there involving traffic, concerns about safety, the availability for the emergency vehicles to get in. We have semi -retired group of folks there. We have kids. We have school buses. You know, basically it is a cul-de-sac. We are bringing in these big boxes and we're talking about hundreds of cars coming into this community. We are already to the gill on Holland Road. I came here actually to defer today but after listening to some of the times, dates and numbers of people and in order to really make this thing work, they are not going to be able run this thing a couple of hours. We're not talking about one or two people coming at a time. We're talking about groups and after listening and we're talking about probably. I don't know what a team is but the numbers they have on teams but I coached football and basketball and I know with the teams come people. In order to run a facility like this you got to have a number of people to be able to financially support it. And, I don't see that really, and he said something about 60 to 80 people being there at one time, I don't see how that is going to work. I don't see how they are going to be able to court that every time 60 or 80 people in this facility. We just fought back this issue with Raceco, and you're taking about coming into a residential neighborhood with children and things like that. I understand that this is a business effort but we're talking about putting the value of a child's life or one of these senior folks get sick and they can't get an emergency vehicle in there or get them out in time. I would hate to be the one that didn't stand up for this situation if something like that happens. I don't see where it really enhances the community or it brings any value to the community. These folks have worked very hard in Scarborough Square to bring this community forward. I don't see at all how this will bring any value and you shouldn't take way from the community when these folks have worked so hard to bring it up. I wish I sat down and talked to them earlier but some other things were coming up and I wasn't able to sit down and talk to these folks. Bu after listening to what they have planned here, I just don't see that working in this community here at Scarborough Square. This is a residential community and we're talking about bringing in almost a commercial operation here for a group of folks coming into this neighborhood. Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. Wright? Mr. Horsley? Donald Horsley: You are aware of the zoning on this property? Carl Wright: Yes sir. Donald Horsley: B-2. Carl Wright: Yes. Donald Horsley: A lot of very intense things can take place on this property. I mean it is zoned and they could build a shopping in there next week. Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 8 Carl Wright: Yes sir. I'm sure that who ever comes in here will look at the integrity of the community and try to enhance the community to work within the community as well. We're not opposed or anything going to open space because people have a right to build but you shouldn't invade the privacy and the safety of the community itself and the way this is going to do. I mean bringing in groups. You are talking about soccer teams and lacrosse teams, and this is a group of people. We're not talking about one or two folks coming in at a time. Barry Knight: Ms. Wood has a question. Dorothy Wood: I appreciate what you have done with your neighborhood and how you have worked so hard to keep it up, and it is a congratulations. Carl Wright: Thank you. Dorothy Wood: Do you think if the applicant was going to be interested that you all could work something out before Council. I mean, I'm just trying to think of what you could possibly? You said some people said they didn't have a chance to talk? Carl Wright: Obviously some folks haven't talked to them. After looking at the plans, we're talking about hundreds of cars Ms. Wood here. We're not talking about 20 or 30 cars. You got more folks coming here than using the recreation center at a general time. We're talking about different. They got soccer fields, lacrosse fields. There is no way in the world you're going to get 50 or 60 folks at any given time to be able to support this operation. They got to bring in hundreds of folks to support this operation. You're bringing it to a residential area. Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. I was just wondering if we could work something out. Thank you. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Ms. Katsias? Kathy Katsias: So if was developed as a shopping center, wouldn't you have people coming and going, more than 50 or 60 people? Carl Wright: They are just saying it could be a shopping center. There hasn't been a proposal for a shopping center. They're saying it could be but I'll assure you there would be some other precautions taken if there was a shopping center there. There are other things that it could be used for. Kathy Katsias: For instance? Carl Wright: Churches, medical facilities and things that enhance and bring value and helps the integrity of the community itself. But it wouldn't be group of folks coming in here at 300 or 400 at a time, and then he said 10:00 p.m. He didn't stop there. From Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 9 what I was hearing they're saying they might be there until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning for practicing. Barry Knight: Ms. Katsias? Kathy Katsias: I see there is an access on Warwick Drive. If they eliminated that access and only had access on Holland Road, would you be amenable to that, which wouldn't create traffic along Warwick? Carl Wright: Yes ma'am. That would probably help some. I don't know if you have been down Holland Road lately trying to get down right now. So, if you're trying to get in this facility off of Holland Road that would even back the traffic up more because at any given time here at 3:00 or 4:00 o'clock, the traffic is backed up. I'm trying to get out of Holland Road and Warwick Drive it is backed up clear to Dam Neck Road right now. Kathy Katsias: Unfortunately, I think any road in Virginia Beach has the same problems. Carl Wright: Yes ma'am. I'm just trying not to add to it. Kathy Katsias: So, would you be in favor if it were deferred to get with the applicant? Carl Wright: Talk. We can talk. I mean, we just dealt with this Raceco situation, and I mean the concerns of the community, is the fact of the backing up of the traffic. You know, imposing a big box on the community. You know, you're talking about putting a six foot fence in folk's front yard. You're talking about a facility that will not be open to the community. It is a private community. They have the right to do that but we got not two blocks away there is brand new beautiful soccer field that just opened, and then there is the Sportsplex that we are really trying to get enough folks to use over there. Kathy Katsias: But this is an all indoor facility. Carl Wright: Yes ma'am. I know. You're talking about putting a lot of folks in this facility and you're still bringing traffic. It is nice to have folks, the parking spaces, but you're not going to tell me that all the spaces are not going to be used, and them people are going to park other places other than that facility when they come into the community. Kathy Katsias: Thank you. Barry Knight: Mr. Henley has a question. Al Henley: You've indicated that the traffic is backed up. Is it more of a concern of your neighbors on Warwick Drive? I realize at times on Holland Road, but that it is primarily backed up on Warwick Drive. Is that correct? Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 10 Carl Wright: Yes sir. Exactly. The school buses are coming in and out of there. It is a big problem. Another big problem Mr. Henley is that you do have elderly folks there and the emergency vehicles. It is almost impossible for them to get through that traffic if there is an emergency. AL Henley: I think Public Works Engineering could look at that to, and I'm not saying where we're going with this today but for some reason if it is approved, Public Works Traffic Engineering can delay that traffic cycle and adjust that traffic cycle on Warwick Drive to let that traffic out, and to eliminate a lot of that back up. Because right now it is limited to a certain, and I forget how many seconds, but they can adjust that and could help accommodate one of your concerns which is the traffic backup. Carl Wright: Yes. The emergency vehicles have to get in and out, with the traffic itself, and the safety of the children. And we're not talking about a couple like 100 to 150, and we're talking about close to 500 parking spaces. I'm sure they are going to go beyond that. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Wright? Thank you sir. Carl Wright: Thank you. Joseph Strange: That concludes our speakers. Barry Knight: I would like to ask Mr. Whitney a question, if I could. Mr. Whitney? This property is zoned B-2. And, we're not going to downzone the property. The property is what it is. Can you tell us some uses that are allowed by -right and nobody has to come other than for site plan review that are permitted uses on this piece of property, and possibly some hours of operation and possibly some traffic totals on those uses that are permitted as it zoned today. Jack Whitney: They are a wide range or retail uses. Everything from convenience stores to shopping centers, to restaurants, a wide gamut under B-2 that could come onto the site. None of which, in a by -right situation could have conditions applied to them, as would be the case under a rezoning or Use Permit application. So, that is one advantage in having uses that require either Use Permits or zoning changes. You can tailor and mitigate one of the impacts of that particular use there. Under by -right, that is not available. They could come in, submit a site plan, we would review it in accordance with the zoning ordinance and the site plan ordnance, and it would all be done administratively. Barry Knight: Could you give us some intense uses that could be here and possibly some hours of operation and some maybe some traffic totals? Jack Whitney: I'll ask your Zoning Administrator who has got the list in front of her to review a number of them for you. Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 11 Karen Lasley: You can see the traffic projections in your staff report. With the existing zoning, I think it is about 1,500 trips per day higher than what they predicted. Uses by - right in B-2? I would say auditoriums assembly halls but that's up for change so we will skip that one. There could be any kind of restaurant, a big box Wal -mart, K -marts or any big box retail. Any kind of retail strip malls. The auto repair and that type of heavy use are Conditional Use Permits also but probably restaurants and just regular retail. Any kind of convenience stores, grocery stores, banks. Barry Knight: Are there any limits on hours of operation? Karen Lasley: No sir. None at all. Barry Knight: No limits on hours of operation by -right. Tell me again, if you would, the traffic counts. You can have some uses here that traffic could be substantially higher than what is being requested today. Karen Lasley: Correct. Yes. It is in your staff report. A typical B-2 use generates, I think it has got 5,500 trips per day. This is predicted to be lower than that. Barry Knight: 4,000. Thank you. Does anyone have any questions for Ms. Lasley while she is there? Eugene Crabtree: I got maybe just one question or may be just a comment. Since this property was owned by King's Daughters, if they built a hospital there, which would be under the use 24 hours a day, and would have changing shifts, they would probably have more than 400 cars going there a day. They would probably generate probably to closer to 1,000 trips a day that what is generated now. So, even if they were to build what they originally had wanted to, which was a medical facility, which has to operate 24 hours a day, and that would really generate more traffic and more goings and comings. Karen Lasley: That would be hard for me to say. It would depend on the size and the type of use. Eugene Crabtree: But the possibility is there. Karen Lasley: If a big trip was generated with emergency vehicles, and that type of thing. Eugene Crabtree: Right. Barry Knight: Thank you Ms. Lasley. Karen Lasley: It is a Conditional Use. Barry Knight: Mr. Bourdon? Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 12 Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Chairman. The traffic numbers are also certain. The traffic numbers in the city's write up at 4,000 is way over to what it would actually be. But to answer, and I have a number of comments. First thing, the usage of the facility during weekday hours, and that is prior to 4:00 pm, the maximum, which is during lunch hour 12:00 —1:00 o'clock in the winter months, the maximum number of people that would be in the facility would be 80 people. If they all drove their own car, that is 80 cars. Okay. That is the maximum during the day and that is during the winter between 12:00 and 2:00. There aren't too many school buses that are going in and out of the neighborhood between 12:00 and 2:00. The traffic leaving the neighborhood peek is in the morning. That is by far the least amount of usage of the facility. If the facilities usage is in the pm hours as I mentioned before. The trees that are on the property as Ms. Henry indicated that our trees will be gone. Well, unfortunately they are not her trees or their trees. They belong to the property owner. The trees can be gone at any point in time. I did, in fact, did go to their civic league meeting. I worked very hard to get invited to their civic league meeting, and frankly, made the presentation on this application. There were no questions that were asked that were not answered. Frankly, there were very few questions that were even asked. I was basically rushed out. They really didn't want to, talk about this application. In fact, I got two questions that were asked. One was by the gentleman, who I believe who hosted the meeting, at his church facility there in the shopping center. He couldn't believe it and asked, "you really need a Use Permit for this?" He was surprised. He was surprised that we even needed a Use Permit to do something like this. Chandler Scarborough with Green Run Community Association actually came up to me at the end and said, "he thought it was fantastic, they needed it in the area." If for some reason if it didn't go here, he hoped that he could find a place in Green Run for it. The city does in fact need it. I was going to stay and answer any questions that all were asked, and none were asked. Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Eddie Bourdon: The facility is open to the community. It is open to any one who wishes to use, who wishes to be involved in a team. We're not puling people from mars here. They are citizens of the City of Virginia Beach that will be using it and not criminals that will be coming to create havoc for Scarborough Square or any other neighborhood. Again, I wish we brought all the different groups in who are very, very interested in seeing this facility built so you could see their faces and hear their words. This is something that is anything but a negative for the community. Also, I want to mention that churches are not a compatible land use under the APZ ordinance so this property cannot be a church as was mentioned by Mr. Wright. At no point in time have I done anything other than to try to talk the folks, engage in dialogue with the folks. And frankly, this situation hasn't transpired. I will be glad to continue to talk. I'm glad to listen but this is a very good land use for this piece of property given all things considered. It will unavoidably reduce the amount of traffic that is there, at least that could be there if the property were developed as it zoned for. The last thing I'll mention because it struck me to hear that it was suggested that this was the only way in and out of the neighborhood when I heard the same people argue that the neighborhood has an Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 13 entrance over on Shipp's Comer Road and the neighborhood would be used to cut through, I'm not really sure which way they wish to argue it. But we are not going into their neighborhood. We're trying to stay out of their neighborhood. The traffic impact study will determine the appropriate access but everyone has looked at it. It is quite certain that the access that is shown and is something that is similar to it is the most appropriate access to the property. If it were developed as a shopping center, or any other retail use, they would actually likely have a third access and they could have a third access without anyone saying yes or no actually on Clubhouse Road. So, if you look at the first application on your agenda, you look at their traffic numbers and correlate that to a similar facility on this piece of property, the numbers that it would generate in terms of traffic exceed 5,500 trips per day. Your staff is 100 percent on point with this. I just don't know how you can argue when it is all indoors, and it is small teams because they are small fields. It is not outside. Indoors and you're talking about again, 8, 10, maybe 14 participants or 16 participants at the most on any of the larger fields and even less on the smaller fields. No basketball courts. It is not a basketball facility. Someone mention something about using the courts. It is not a basketball facility. Barry Knight: Mr. Bourdon, Ms. Katsias has a question for you. Kathy Katsias: one issue was affordability. Could you give us a perimeter of what the affordability of the facility is? Eddie Bourdon: I'm going to have John Wack give you that information. I'm not familiar with the actual pricing. Barry Knight: Mr. Bourdon, would you get him to introduce himself please? Eddie Bourdon: Yes. I will. Actually this is Mr. John Wack, one of the principals. John Wack: John Wack. Barry Knight: Welcome sir. Ms. Katsias has a question? John Wack: Ma'am, typical we sell the activities that we have in our facility last about eight weeks if it is something for a young child. For instance, one of our soccer development programs that usually is about $80 to about $100 for an eight week program where you will be meeting for an hour a week. On some of our smaller fields, we have programs that are less costly. For instance, we have a partnership with Ripken Baseball in our facility in Fredericksburg where the kids will have a one hour game once a week for eight weeks and that is just $45.00. Our use per hour, the cost ranges roughly somewhere between $5 and $10 and that is true for youth and adults. Kathy Katsias: Thank you. Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 14 Barry Knight: Ms. Wood has a question. Dorothy Wood: Do you think you could have a scholarship for some of the people that live right in the area that we're concerned about? Is that something that you have ever done? John Wack: We have not had that situation at our Fredericksburg facility. Dorothy Wood: Maybe you could even thing about it? John Wack: But we will certainly be willing to consider it. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Crabtree? Eugene Crabtree: In this whole thing and all has any discussions gone on with our Parks and Recreation and our existing programs that are going on within the City, and sometimes in the future plans with Parks and Recreation do you know of anything like that? I see Mr. Bourdon coming back up here. He seems to know this. Eddie, has Parks and Recreation been a part of this or any discussion? Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Crabtree, I'm going to give you a disjoined answer but the city has a study that was commissioned that was done by Brailsford & Dunleavy. In fact, it is mentioned in your staff write up, where the City has recognized that a lot of us that are involved in one way or another in athletics and realize for sometime that a facility like this is desperately needed. In fact, more than one because you got other sports other than the ones that I mentioned that this is designed for. They are very much interested. They are very much in communications with my clients. There are no two ways about that. The city has some other agendas as well, which we are involved in conversation with them across the board. Eugene Crabtree: That is why I asked him because I know there are some things in the works with Parks and Recreation at this time. Eddie Bourdon: My clients have worked very closely with staff at all levels throughout this process. Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson? Janice Anderson: How do you gain entry? Is there going to be somebody staffed at this all the time or is it a key entry like a storage unit that you can get in? John Wack: You go in. You have a card. You don't have access to the facility unless our staff is there. Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 15 Janice Anderson: Okay. John Wack: So, we open the facility much the way I would say like a YMCA. Each participant in the league is issued a ID card, so when you come in for your activity you present your ID card, we check you in, and then you go to your activity to participate. Some things like a birthday party won't require that sort of ID check but the host of the birthday party would come in and say they were there, and we would direct them to their field or party room but for all the league players will be issued an ID and we check it. Janice Anderson: Okay. But there are staff members there the whole time? John Wack: Yes ma'am. Janice Anderson: Okay. I have a few more. I guess the concern is the green space between the neighborhood. Is there anyway, since they did mention that the tree buffer could remain along that and maybe buffer that from the parking lot any perceived noise that may happen. I mean, it is an indoor facility. The only thing that I could say Eddie is maybe something from the parking lot maybe concerned if you kept some trees there. Eddie Bourdon: If we could get the aerial? We don't have any aerial of the site? No aerial. Okay. Janice Anderson: There is one in our package here. Eddie Bourdon: There are issues as we all confront from these applications. There are issues with drainage and trying to create odds end drainage and half drainage and go forward as opposed towards the rear of the property. All we can commit to Ms. Anderson is to make every reasonable effort to retain these trees that could be retained on that back 40 to 50 feet. I'm not sure on the area where the parking is and this is the best to view it. I don't know if there are any trees in that area. It is open towards the Warwick Drive side of the property, which is where that side of the parking. There is parking on the south side so there would be some potentially some use in terms of helping to screen it. If we can do that engineering wise, we certainly have no problem to a condition that to the greatest extent possible consistent with the drainage we have to create. We will do that or otherwise we will be planting new trees in that area. Janice Anderson: Okay, because your site plan doesn't show any kind of or does it? Eddie Bourdon: Category IV landscaping with the solid fence is shown on there. Category IV is a row of trees that will grow up to 12, 15 or even 20 feet over time, but that is what is shown on there. We have talked about it and if it can be done, there is no reason for us to cut down trees and plant new ones if we can maintain 20 or 30 feet of the vegetation in that southeast corner of the property. We will certainly try to do that. We want to do that but we just don't want it depicted and then with the engineering people Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 16 said that you have to cut them all down because you have to create positive drainage. We can drain on them because you have to drain forward to and towards Holland Road. Janice Anderson: Okay. But if we could, I think buffer with more vegetation maybe that would stick down. The last thing, I guess, and the neighbors have talked about their concern of their children in the neighborhood. You originally said that, I guess you were still working on your traffic impact study and you were going to go over that during site review. Is that correct? Eddie Bourdon: The traffic impact study will be prepared and provided to the city during site plan review to determine whether the accesses that have been shown are appropriately designed, appropriately in place and if there are any other improvements that need to be made. The belief is that what is shown is what is necessary and appropriate but to make certain of that, and that is why. If it was something like where there was a disagreement you would hear about the disagreement. The general consensus is that what we are showing is appropriate but we are doing the traffic impact study to make certain of that, and if there are additional improvements that need to be made or modifications that need to be made, one of the conditions require that we do whatever is recommended by the study. Janice Anderson: Right. Mainly, you will go through traffic engineering and if it is a public safety issue you are going to make those corrections there. Eddie Bourdon: Right. If it requires a turn lane off of Warwick Drive. If it requires striping on Warwick Drive, something along those lines, then that will be done. Janice Anderson: Okay. Thank you. Eddie Bourdon: We have a minimal amount of access. There is a right in and a right out and one off the main road and one on the main road. Barry Knight: Mr. Strange? Joseph Strange: I just want to make a comment that I agree with Dot Wood. I think a certain number of scholarships should be available for some of the local kids there. Something this big and cost looks like it is minimal, would be a nice thing. Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Strange. We can certainly explore that and that request was certainly not one that was entertained when I met with the civic league. I think it is a constructive suggestion. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Bourdon? Thank you gentlemen. I open it up for discussion amongst the Commission members. Dorothy Wood: I think he wants to say something else and I'll sponsor him Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 17 Barry Knight: You will? Come back up sir and you're being sponsored by Ms. Wood if it is brand new information. Carl Wright: Yes it is. Barry Knight: Okay. Reintroduce yourself please Mr. Wright and just speak to the new information. Carl Wright: Yes sir. Carl Wright, 1144 Mondrian Loop. I just want to make this clear before you all make a decision. If you all approve this and this is not a success, we are stuck with a great big box on Warwick Drive that we have to look at, and the folks behind it have to look at it as long as they live there. We know there are a lot of these boxes around, the old HQs and places like that, and we are just stuck with them until they figure out what to do with them. So, when you all make this decision, I want you all to understand that we all live in this community. We're stuck with the situation. I understand what they're talking about with the scholarships and things like that but we have one of the finest recreation department in the City. We're talking about sports, and a lot of the kids in the community don't even participant in them. We do have some kids that do participate in soccer. It is great. We have a lovely soccer facility right here in Virginia Beach. I just wanted you to understand that if this is passed, and it is not a success, we are stuck with this great big box. Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Wright. Dorothy Wood: As you would be with a Wal -mart or a K -mart. Carl Wright: Yes ma'am. But we we're hearing a lot of hear -says and most of the folks that I heard Mr. Bourdon refer to didn't have the same comment when it comes to this facility here. I'm a member of this community and I haven't heard that said. Dorothy Wood: I know you are and we appreciate it. Thank you. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Wright? Mr. Bourdon? Eddie Bourdon: Let me just correct one thing. There is absolutely no indoor soccer facility located in Virginia Beach or Norfolk or Chesapeake or Portsmouth. None. Barry Knight: We'll close the public hearing portion and open it up for discussion among the Commission members. Mr. Bernas? Jay Bernas: I think to address one of Mr. Wright's issues. I think the City was proactive in that we hired a consultant to really look at the need before we we're pursuing this, so the City did hire a consultant to look at the marketability of this indoor sports facility. I would also like to say that if you look at the traffic counts conservatively by -right, this will be a reduction of more than 20 percent, if not more. This seems like it is a very Item #15 Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Page 18 conservative average daily count. So, I think it is a nice facility. I think it is something that is needed. Our consultants are telling us that the City needs it. There is not one in the entire region. So, I would be in support of the project. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions or comments? Mr. Crabtree. Eugene Crabtree: I just want to say one thing. The reason why I asked Mr. Bourdon about Parks and Recreation, and as Jay said, they looked into this indoor facility or indoor arena type for things to be put in some of the Parks and Recreation property around the city. There are things for them to do in the future but it is way in the future. It is not in the immediate future. So, this does coder the need for the City with indoor facilities in the meantime before we do get something done by our Parks and Recreation people later on. Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Livas? Henry Livas: Yes. I analyze this and the complaints that were brought forth today. The main concern is traffic. Our staff has looked in to that and they indicated a lot of things that could be done under B-2, which would generate more traffic, so I would say that the traffic is not as a big issue as they think it is going to be. So, for that reason, I would support it. Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? The Chair will entertain a motion. Eugene Crabtree: I'll make a motion that we approve the application as presented. Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor by Gene Crabtree and seconded by Jay Bernas to approve agenda item 15, the application of Rappahannock Sports, L.L.C. Is there any discussion? I'll call for the question.

CUP for Communications Facility r r ro f 'b ids 2 i � CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: Application of Cingular Wireless for a Conditional Use Permit for a communication tower on property located at 4021 Charity Neck Road (GPIN 2411550252). AICUZ is Less Than 65 dB DNL. DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE. MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of a portion of a site zoned AG -1 Agricultural for a wireless communications tower, antennas, and associated equipment building. The proposed lease area will be developed with a 195 -foot tall communications tower and equipment cabinet. The proposed tower will accommodate up to four (4) wireless communication carriers. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site to be within the "Rural Area" with uses related to farming, forestry, rural residential and other rurally compatible uses. "From providing a legacy for a future generation of farmers, to providing habitat for wildlife, keeping taxes low, and maintaining the rural community, the vision for our rural landscape is important," (Pg. 161). ■ Considerations: The proposed tower location provides approximately 400 feet from the lease area to the closest residential property line. The location is beside an existing, tree - lined buffer along the northern property line, which will be less obtrusive and not as detrimental to surrounding properties as other locations. An additional buffer will be planted adjacent to the non-residential uses on the site, consisting of 50% indigenous grasses and shrubs and the remaining 50% with a mixture of 25% deciduous and 75% evergreen. The applicant submitted the required structural report indicating that the proposed tower's design meets the requirements of the Intemational Building Code and a Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation Report (NIER) indicating that emissions do not result in ground level exposure at any point outside the facility and is within compliance with all regulatory agencies and standards. In sum, staff concludes that the proposed tower is consistent with the standards provided in the City Zoning Ordinance for wireless communication towers. Also of importance in staff's evaluation is the need for wireless communication service in the southern portion of Virginia Beach, particularly as it pertains to enhanced emergency response and 911 communications. There are still portions of this Cingular Wireless — Charity Neck Road Page 2 of 3 part of the city that are not adequately covered by wireless service, rendering use of wireless devices for emergency calls moot. There was opposition to the request. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request with the following conditions: 1. The tower shall be constructed substantially in adherence to the site plans entitled "NO60XC833-C VEPCO Structure # 27/289 Sprint, Co -Location Transmission Tower", prepared by Alcoa Wireless Services, Inc., and dated 9/14/05 (issued for construction). This site plan has been exhibited to City Council and is on file with the Department of Planning. 2. The tower shall be limited in height to 195 feet. 3. The tower shall not be lit. 4. The applicant and / or owner shall plant Leland Cypress behind the existing trees on and along the along the portions of the property line shared with the adjacent property owner to the east of the tower. 5. The portion of the subject property between the tower and the adjoining property to the east will remain undeveloped and used only for agricultural purposes except as shown on the site plan. 6. The applicant shall install a board on board style privacy fence in lieu of the chain link fence. No barbed wire shall be permitted. Landscaping around the tower shall comply with the City of Virginia Beach requirements. 7. No signs indicating the location of this facility are allowed. 8. Unless a waiver is obtained from the City of Virginia Beach Department of Communications and Information Technology (COMIT), a radio frequency emissions study (RF Study), conducted by a qualified engineer licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, showing that the intended user(s) will not interfere with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communications facilities, shall be provided prior to site plan approval for the tower and all subsequent users. 9. In the event interference with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communications facilities arises from the users of this tower, the user(s) shall take all measures reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time, the user shall immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop Cingular Wireless — Charity Neck Road Page 3 of 3 the interference. 10. Should the antennae cease to be used for a period of more than one (1) year, the applicant shall remove the antennae and their supporting tower and related equipment. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Charity Neck Road is a rural local street. No improvements are currently planned. WATER & SEWER: Water and sewer are not available. The proposed use does not require service. FIRE: No comments at this time. COMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: The proposed site design is acceptable. A frequency spectrum (MHz) report is required to ensure that inference is not encountered with a City -owned facility located on Pleasant Ridge Road. Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site to be within the "Rural Area" with uses related to farming, forestry, rural residential and other rurally compatible uses. "From providing a legacy for a future generation of farmers, to providing habitat for wildlife, keeping taxes low, and maintaining the rural community, the vision for our rural landscape is important." (Pg. 161) Evaluation: The proposed tower at a height of 195 feet has been designed to accommodate up to three (3) additional providers, for a total of four (4) antennas. The application, when originally submitted, located the tower at 202 feet from the rear property line of the adjacent dwelling to the east, which was not in keeping with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for these types of towers. Section 232(b)(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance stipulates no communication tower be located closer to an existing residential structure than the distance equal to 125 percent of the total height of the tower. The applicant worked with staff and relocated the proposed lease area for the tower to a point further west from the original location. The revised tower location provides approximately 400 feet from the lease area to the residential property line. The revised location is beside an existing, tree -lined buffer along the northern property line, which will be less obtrusive and not as detrimental to surrounding properties. It is recommended, however, that an additional buffer be planted adjacent to the non-residential uses on the CINGULAR WIRELESS - CHARITY NECK ROAD Agenda Item 25 Page 2 site, consisting of 50% indigenous grasses and shrubs and the remaining 50% with a mixture of 25% deciduous and 75% evergreen. The applicant submitted the required structural report indicating that the proposed tower's design meets the requirements of the International Building Code and a Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation Report (NIER) indicating that emissions do not result in ground level exposure at any point outside the facility and is within compliance with all regulatory agencies and standards. In sum, staff concludes that the proposed tower is consistent with the standards provided in the City Zoning Ordinance for wireless communication towers. Also of importance in staffs evaluation is the need for wireless communication service in the southern portion of Virginia Beach, particularly as it pertains to enhanced emergency response and 911 communications. There are still portions of this part of the city that are not adequately covered by wireless service, rendering use of wireless devices for emergency calls moot. The wireless communication providers are required to provide 911 connectivity, and the antennas located on this tower will assist in meeting that requirement and ensuring the safety of those living or traveling in this area of the city. CONDITIONS 1. The tower shall be constructed substantially in adherence to the site plans entitled "N060XC833-C VEPCO Structure # 27/289 Sprint, Co -Location Transmission Tower", prepared by Alcoa Wireless Services, Inc., and dated 9/14/05 (issued for construction). This site plan has been exhibited to City Council and is on file with the Department of Planning. 2. The tower shall be limited in height to 195 feet. 3. The tower shall not be lit. 4. The applicant and / or owner shall plant Leland Cypress behind the existing trees on and along the along the portions of the property line shared with the adjacent property owner to the east of the tower. 5. The portion of the subject property between the tower and the adjoining property to the east will remain undeveloped and used only for agricultural purposes except as shown on the site plan. 6. The applicant shall install a board on board style privacy fence in lieu of the chain link fence. No barbed wire shall be permitted. Landscaping around the tower shall comply with the City of Virginia Beach requirements. 7. No signs indicating the location of this facility are allowed. 8. Unless a waiver is obtained from the City of Virginia Beach Department of Communications and Information Technology (COMIT), a radio frequency emissions study (RF Study), conducted by a qualified engineer licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, showing that the intended user(s) will not interfere with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communications facilities, shall be provided prior to site plan approval for the tower and all subsequent users. 9. In the event interference with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communications facilities arises from the users of this tower, the user(s) shall take all measures reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time, the user shall immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference. CINGULAR WIRELESS - CHARITY NECK ROAD Agenda Item 25 Page 3 10. Should the antennae cease to be used for a period of more than one (1) year, the applicant shall remove the antennae and their supporting tower and related equipment. NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards.

An application of Cingular Wireless for a Conditional Use Permit for a communication tower on property located at 4021 Charity Neck Road, District 7, Princess Arnie with seven conditions. Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am. Lisa Murphy: Good afternoon. I would say good evening but it is not quite that late. My name is Lisa Murphy. I'm a local attorney and I'm here today on behalf of the applicant. I've got to commend Stephen White. He did a great job earlier this morning in trying to explain to you why you're going to be seeing so much more of myself and the other folks who do wireless work. And, I thought the best way to kind of give you a sense of what is going on, and you all have that map. If you look at the map that you have you will notice all of the white, sort of triangles or existing sites that are on the air. And you will see they are predominately in the northern part of the city. That is also really where most of the population is. Where you have those sites you got already your basic network built out, and what you're starting to see in the northern part of the city is really sort of fill in and capacity sites. So areas where they find there is a lack in coverage, they come back and try to complete the coverage. And you will notice, if you look at your maps, if you look along the interstate just how close those towers are, and somebody has asked the question, "well how many, how close"? And it really depends on whether or not you're talking about your basic network, which is what we're talking about in the southern part of the city or you're taking about filling in sites. So, if you look down to the area where we are and the site that we're talking about in particular is noted in purple as a proposed site, and that is 308. If you look around that there are very few of these white existing sites that are already turned on. There just a lot in there. And that is really going to mirror what the prorogation maps show on this map. On this map or just sort of spotty coverage, white is very limited to no coverage, especially none inside buildings and the green is that good solid coverage. So, as you would expect from the map that shows the great distance of the existing towers from this particular location, there is a huge area that is white with no coverage or just spotty coverage in that area. With this particular tower, we're able to fill in a great deal of that with the green, which is a very good coverage, and also pick up a whole lot of orange to get us to connect with those other sites that are on the air. The biggest difference, I think between the heavily populated cities and the southern parts is that the network just hasn't been built out. Your basic backbone of sites, and I was thinking about it this morning and it is almost like your power. You start out with a big transmission towers and as they get into the certain heavily populated area, Item #25 Cingular Wireless Page 2 they can get lower and lower with the poles. Somewhat similar to that but except for with antennas the way they work they have to be up higher than what they are trying to communicate with on the ground. So, it is not a perfect analogy but that's basically the technology. The other reason why you're seeing so many of these, interestingly, after September 11, when the capital markets tanked, so did funding for the wireless companies. And those of us who do this type of work saw a real dip in the work. And instead of continuing to build out their networks, the carriers told their engineers that "hey, we have every limited funding, tell us what your top ten sites are in all of Hampton Road or all of Richmond, and we'll try to plug in those holes". So, we're now seeing the funding come back around and that's part of the reason why you're starting to see more of these applications. The particular application, again, is off of Charity Neck Road just to sort of orient you. There is Charity Neck Road (pointing to PowerPoint). The tower site is over here. There is a nice natural buffer of trees in through here. And actually, a ditch, sort of a water line, that comes in through there, so it actually makes a pretty good buffer. There are floodplains that run in through here. And, what we've tried to do over the course of months and working with the property owner, is to try and get this tower back into an area where we can get some of the benefit of those trees but yet stay out of the floodplain, and stay far enough off that canal that goes through there and the area where we can't campus the tower. So, we picked this particular location for the tower, as it is mentioned in your staff report. It is a 195 foot tower. This drawing shows it a little bit but there is actually where the sort of tree line comes out. It jets out a little bit here and then goes back in and jets out again there. So, there is a benefit of a little jet out of trees right in that area. The tower itself, they're going to put to the absolute corner so it can make the most use out of that tree line. That shows you that point right there would be the tower. So, it is far enough off of the tree line to get away from the water issues there but yet, you see this, where the tree line jets out here, we get some of the benefit of that putting the tower right in that particular location. The proposed tower is 195 feet. It is a monopole design, which you all discussed somewhat. The monopole design is actually fairly standard. It allows for collocation, in this case at 195 feet, we can get four carriers on it. The carriers all work very closely together. AT&T is the carrier who is building this particular tower with Cingular Wireless. But there will be others who will come on and will be able to share that tower. A monopole design is one of the least visually intrusive types of designs because you got a pole which is essentially 6 to 8 feet in diameter at the base, and then and you see it tapers as you get to the top, and it can taper up to 3 feet in diameter at the top. And, then you got the antennas attached there. So, as far as the pole portion of it, as was mentioned this morning, that tends to blend in with the background. In the area of, as was mentioned, to the north of this site, there is actually a City owned tower at the Mosquito Control Center there at Pungo. That tower, as was mentioned is over 400 feet tall, and it can be seen really quite a distance. So, we're talking about a tower that is twice the height of our tower. It is a lattice design and it is painted orange and white, which is required by FAA. So, by comparison, our monopole will be half the height essentially. We've added as a condition, I think, Ms. Prochilo provided to you that it will not be lit. I've got a FAA determination that I can give you that indicates that the tower itself will not pose any type of threat or hazard to air travel. I think there was initially a question that came in. We got the determination Item #25 Cingular Wireless Page 3 from the FAA that indicates no hazard, no lights required. And, I met with the gentleman in charge of the local airport and he was very comfortable once I had explained to him and provided him with a copy of that report. In meeting with and communicating with the directing adjacent property owner, there is a home on this property over there and a trailer, a one-story structure on that property. And the concern was the view shed to the tower, and again, as it was mentioned this morning, we've gone back a distance of 409 feet, so it is quite a distance away. But the concern was what would be seen from that one-story structure. So, what we've done is added conditions that would essentially add tree plantings. You see, your access is going to come along through here. We've added a conditional indicating that there will be Leland Cypresses planted along this property line and then most importantly along this property line. Also, we've added a condition that the area between the tower and the property will not be used for anything but agricultural and access, and then the tower itself, in addition to the city required landscaping around the base, we've actually added a board on board fence. So what will be seen will be very heavily screened and very heavily buffered from the ground level. And, I'm happy to answer any questions. Barry Knight: Are there any questions at this time for Ms. Murphy? Lisa Murphy: I'm sorry, one other thing. We actually have a petition of folks who are in support of the tower. I'll pass that out as well. Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Ms. Murphy? Okay. Thank you. Lisa Murphy: Thank you. Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have James Diersen. Barry Knight: Welcome sir. James Diersen: Good afternoon to the Commission. My name is James Diersen. I live at 1780 Gum Bridge Road, which is the house that you see just to the left of the blue line. And, I just have a couple of concerns about this. Since no one bothered to come to the homeowners around the property and address this, and not to take up my whole three minutes but I didn't receive my notice about the meeting until yesterday at noon also, although it was dated August 28, 2007. It is my understanding that the purpose of the zoning regulations is to protect the health, safety, well being, and property values of the community. I don't see where this is going to do many of those. I feel that the current residents are being forced into an involuntary exposure of RF radiation hazards. I have serious concerns about the flooding issues where they're proposing to put this tower. I'm happy to have the luxury of having waterfront property several times a year from right here all the way to here (pointing to PowerPoint). And, I've actually seen this entire area, which doesn't drain very well now, completely under water. My barn sits right here and the horses have a high flat area to stand in my yard right there. So, they stand on the hill and all of this has ducks in it swimming around. I'm concerned that when they put this Item #25 Cingular Wireless Page 4 roadway in and they build this tower, it is definitely not going to be below the floodplain, and all of this that you see right here and this tree line going back drains this way across this road and out towards Newbridge. When they put this road in this isn't going to anything to enhance that drain. It is actually going to hurt it. So, I'm questioning on what's being looked at for that? Has the Army Corp. of Engineers been contacted? The DEQ? Has there been any environmental impact study done on what this is going to do in that area? Also, it wasn't really answered by the previous presentation but I'm wondering in the rural section of Virginia Beach that were supposedly not developing, is this going to serve existing customers or are they simply putting this tower up with the idea they will be the first people with tower that can sell space on it, and then that way when they do start to develop below the green line, they will be the first people with the tower up and ready to service or are they putting it up for the people already there now because we don't have good coverage? That is all that I have. Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Mr. Diersen at this time? Donald Horsley: The only comment that I will make is probably putting it up the hill helps us to keep coverage and get coverage. James Diersen: I have Verizon. I get great coverage at my house. I don't know very much about this and I wasn't going to be involved in it until I was drug into it by local residents that I talked to oppose it. No one came to and said this is what we're planning to do. How do you feel about it or anything else? I did Google it. I got 1.2 million hits on cell phone towers and RF radiation and things of that nature. It is constantly being studied. There is a lot of stuff going on with it. I was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. I moved out to the country. I don't particularly want to live next to a cell phone tower. I don't see where that adds any value to my property. It is going to take away and you're going to have all these other concerns with flooding and everything else. It is not just "I don't want it in my backyard" situation. There is a lot of area out there in Pungo. The airport has opened up. I have planes flying low over my house all the time. Ultra lights fly over the house. They fly, close enough that they can see us wave in my pool. So, I have concerns, also. Before they said there is no concern with the air traffic, yet the planes fly very low. It doesn't bother me. They are old planes. They're nice to look at. But, the tower would definitely be sticking out above the tree line and it will cause a hazard. Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Mr. Diersen? Thank you. James Diersen: Thank you very much for your time. Joseph Strange: Our next speaker in opposition is Maria Benetz. Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am. Maria Benetz: Thank you. Hello. Thank you very much. Item #25 Cingular Wireless Page 5 Barry Knight: Please state your name for the record. Maria Benetz: Maria Benetz. Dear Members of our Planning Commission and all people present. Thank you for this moment. My name is Maria Benetz and I'm speaking for my dear mother Elizabeth Benetz, who just turned 85 years young September 7, 2007. My mother is the landowner of 4001, and my little cottage of 3973 Charity Neck Road. I'm not only speaking for myself and my mother but for many, many residents of our dear Pungo. These are residents of beautiful homes on Pleasant Ridge, Charity Neck Road and new homeowners across from historic 1789 Charity United Methodist Church, and the residents on and off of Gum Bridge and Dawley Road. All of these residents, taxpayers and voters of the City of Virginia Beach who have signed this petition against this 195 foot monopole cell tower on the property of 4021 Charity Neck Road. I am speaking for all of these undersigned residents who do not wish to walk out of their front or back doors and look up into the sky and see this 195 foot monopole of Cingular Wireless because we chose this field and landscape in their natural beauty. God Bless you! Thank you. Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Ms. Benetz? Ms. Benetz, you live in the top right hand corner just outside the blue? Is that correct? Maria Benetz: Yes. Barry Knight: Are there any questions? Dorothy Wood: I would like to thank Ms. Benetz for spending her day with us. She was here when we arrived this morning. You are certainly a lovely lady and I watched you with your mother today. You're a very lovely lady. Maria Benetz: Thank you. God Bless you! Barry Knight: Are there any questions? Okay. Thank you. Joseph Strange: That concludes our speakers. Barry Knight: Ms. Murphy? Lisa Murphy: Just a couple of points. One that I wanted to really discuss especially sitting through today's applications, the type of use that we're talking about is an incredibly passive use. There is no parking. There are no crowds. There are no traffic issues. It is essentially but for the stroke of Congresses' pen, a public utility, although it is not really a public utility. Once the tower is actually built it will be visited maybe once or twice a month by each carrier that is on it and that is just to go out and make sure that the antennas are still working properly. So, as far as the other types of planning uses that you consider an impact, it is a very low impact use frankly. The added benefit, again, towards being able to on a large piece of farm land, and this happens so many times in Item #25 Cingular Wireless Page 6 rural applications especially, this is farmland that will remain in agricultural use. Most of the folks that end up becoming landlords, they have large pieces of property. They do it so they can keep from developing that property. The development is really coming all around us. And we mentioned to Ms. Benetz when we met with her and to others this really prohibits this property from being developed in any other way. It is not going to be a neighborhood. It will be as you see it now for a very long time. That is predominately because the commitment that the landlord has to the tenant can get up to be a 15 to 20 year commitment. So, that really locks in the use and this very passive use, which I think is a benefit to the area because it is something again, that won't add traffic. Cingular Wireless, which is now known as AT&T is licensed by the Federal Government, as you know to provide wireless services. There are other carriers who are also interested because they're licensed by the federal government, they have to go through a higher level of scrutiny, if you will, as far as environmental review, need for review, so they have to comply with all the federal laws, in addition. When we met with Ms. Benetz, we offered and asked her to invite the other folks who she said had interest to come to the meeting at her home, and it was just herself and a relative and another gentleman. So, we did try to reach out to the group. And again, this is really an amenity and a public utility for the folks in the area who don't have the coverage and service at this point. I thank you. Again, staff recommends approval of the application and it does comply with your Zoning Ordinance. Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions? Ms. Wood? Dorothy Wood: Lisa, we couldn't read your signatures. Lisa Murphy: I have a better copy. Dorothy Wood: Maybe you could just tell us. We have a lot of signatures on Charity Neck that are opposed to it, so where are the people? Lisa Murphy: There are about 50 in support. They are on Pleasant Ridge, Princess Anne Road, Morris Neck, Gum Bridge, Muddy Creek, Pleasant Ridge, Charity Neck, Mill Landing, Charity Neck, Charity Neck. Dorothy Wood: It is hard to believe that there are this many people there that have signed both. I mean looking around. Lisa Murphy: Well it is interesting because my assistant, her family lives very close by and she looked at the list and she said that was one of my teachers in elementary school. I know that person and sort of a who's who. But I will give staff the original written copy so that you can see much more clearly. As you all probably know from sitting through a lot of these, the people who want the service are usually the people who don't show up at these hearings. I mean it is very rare that folks come to speak in support other than the carrier who is doing the application, and then the other carriers. I can tell you that we are actively marketing this site to Verizon and to some of the other carriers to see Item #25 Cingular Wireless Page 7 if there is interest. And on some of our tower applications, there will be one or two other carriers that will be involved. Dorothy Wood: Thanks. Barry Knight: Ms. Wood, I asked Ms. Murphy to email me her petition because I had the opposition petitions so I can try to compare them. And, I recognize a lot of names on both of the petitions. I'm not going to say that it is equally divided but there are a lot of names on both petitions. Dorothy Wood: Thanks. Barry Knight: They are from within the area too. Lisa Murphy: You know the most striking thing and the thing that folks ask me the most was "what about the orange and white tower to the north"? Because it is really sort of stand -out feature that you can see from many directions. My clients have spoken with the City about that. I confirmed with the City that this isn't a tower that there isn't leasing space on. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Ms. Murphy at this time? Mr. Horsley? Donald Horsley: The revised conditions that we have here, I saw you meeting with the Benetz after our informal session this morning, and did you address these with the opposition, and are they comfortable with these conditions? Lisa Murphy: I won't speak for Ms. Benetz but I think she was more comfortable because this obstructs the view but I don't know that she would ever be comfortable. Donald Horsley: But you did go over these because they are different then the ones in our packets. Lisa Murphy: Yes. The last, I think starting from the tower won't be lit down. Karen Prochilo: Excuse me. I just want to bring up that the conditions are similar to what you had provided Lisa Murphy with but we incorporated them into the report and the numbers are not the same. Lisa Murphy: Okay. So, I think there was originally a condition about the landscaping around the base of the tower and to that was the board on board fence. The Leyland Cypress along the property lines. That was added. The commitment to keep the area between the tower and the property line in either agricultural use or just as shown on the site plan, which would essentially be the road. Those were all added. And, also since we know that the tower will not be lit we added that as a condition as well that it will not Item #25 Cingular Wireless Page 8 have a light on it. But those were all things that we offered up and discussed with that with the property owner. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Ms. Murphy? Thank you. I'll open it up for discussion. Is there any discussion? I'll add a little postscript on it I guess. Mr. Chaplain, it is nice to see you sitting here today. I know that you're the property owner. I see down at the bottom right hand corner where Charity Neck Church is and Charity Neck Cemetery is, and you're well aware of it because you live across the street. But I don't go to Charity Neck Church. It is not going to affect my vote whatsoever. But, sure it would be nice if they could expand there cemetery into your property. So, I just thought I would put a plug in for the church. Is there any discussion? The Chair will entertain a motion. Donald Horsley: I spoke with Benetz earlier on a couple of months ago as they called me in concern and I told them at the time, and I wasn't being facetious, I said I'm looking out my back window and where there is a tower and I really don't see a tower. And, I think the perception and rightfully so, these people just don't know what to expect when one of these are put up. But, we got use to having a tower, very close and close proximity to where we live. Unless you really walk out your backdoor and look up in the air, you really don't even know it is there. A lot of people walk around their yard and they don't really realize a tower is there unless you look up. Quite often, they have a tendency to blend in with the sky depending upon the atmospheric conditions. There are needs for these. The city is changing technology that we have. It is more and more prevalent everyday so there is a need for more towers in our area. This may not be the perfect site. It is a site that the applicant chose and that is the one that is before us today and that is the one we have to vote on. It may be another site that would be a little bit better and even more easier to pass, but there wouldn't be as much opposition or it may not have any opposition, but that is not here today. This is the one to pass. I know we appreciate the concerns of the neighbors but I think the applicant has done all that it can do to make this thing less intrusive on their property. So, at this time, I make a motion that we approve item 25, Cingular Wireless Charity Neck Road application. Barry Knight: And I have a second from Al Henley. So, there is a motion made to approve the application by Don Horsley and a second by Al Henley. Is there any discussion? I'll call for the question.

Piccillo[mailto:George.

Please be notified that we are opposed to the location of the tower as currently proposed. It is our belief that at the very least the tower should be moved further back into the adjacent woods to a less intrusive position so that the current resident next to the tower location would not have such an eyesore immediately behind their home. We are also concerned regarding the amount of low-flying air traffic from the Virginia Beach Airport which is due west of the proposed tower. It would appear that this towers' location may pose a safety threat to the operations of the airport. Finally, we are opposed to this proposed location as it causes the intrusion of a more commercial influence in the agricultural atmosphere of this community which was the very reason we purchased our lot on Charity Neck Road five years ago, built our home there this spring and moved here from the Kempsville district. I will make every effort to attend the Planning Commission hearing.

I had hoped to present my views at the Planning Commision Hearing on Wednesday August 8th but unfortunately I cannot attend due to a previous commitment. My property and home is at 1789 Gum Bridge Road across from the proposed site. I feel that this Application should be rejected for several reasons: (1) The proposed site is adjacent to Charity United Methodist Church which although it may not be on the registry of historic sites is nevertheless a historic site and House of Worship. (2) My home at 1789 Gum Bridge Road is also a historical property. Although my house is covered with conventional vinyl siding, it is actually a very old log house made from hand-hewn timbers. As such, I have had numerous opportunites to register my home as a historic site. (3) The presence of a communications tower will undoubtedly adversly affect property values in the immediate area and destroy the historic beauty and simplicity of this important historical neighborhood. (4) There is a health hazard for those whose homes are in the immediate vicinity of said proposed communications tower. Back in May 1990 a proposal by AMERICAN EAGLE COMMUNICATION to build a Broadcast Tower on Gum Bridge Road was denied by City Council. At that time I presented to City Council evidence based on prior studies that living in close proximity to Broadcast Towers is hazardous to human health. The Cingular Tower will be for the transmission of microwaves which on the surface seem to present no problem; however, said microwaves are modulated which bring them down to the ELF Frequency Range which is where the health problems occur. You were our Council Representative at that time so I attach a copy of my notes from that meeting which give a full explanation of the facts. To my way of thinking one of the duties of All Government is to insure the health and tranquility of its citizens. Another important duty is to preserve the historical areas of our city for future gernerations. I thank You for your continuing service to the Citizens of Virginia Beach.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: Application of Greg Smith for a Conditional Use Permit for a home occupation (making and selling glass bead pendants) on property located at 594 Van Buren Court (GPIN 1486576552). DISTRICT 3 — ROSE HALL. MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a home occupation for glass blowing. The applicant proposes to run a business making and selling glass bead pendants. This site is located in a Primary Residential Area as designated by the Comprehensive Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan states that the objective of the Primary Residential Area is to protect the predominantly suburban character that is defined, in large measure, by the stable neighborhoods of the Primary Residential Area. Proposed development within the Primary Residential Area should focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area. ■ Considerations: Home occupations are typically appropriate conditional uses within residential areas provided the requirements established in the City Zoning Ordinance are adhered to, such as, but not limited to, restricting the amount of area that can be used for the home based business, prohibiting the use of signage, and generating no additional traffic than what is customary of a residential street. The applicant's product will be produced in the garage attached to the house, where the applicant already does glass blowing as a hobby. The majority of the sales will be done over the Internet. Some of the pendants will be sold to galleries and stores for wholesale. The applicant is the main employee but does have some assistance from his wife. The minimal activity related to this proposal is not likely to adversely impact the surrounding properties in any way. From the exterior of the house, business activity associated with the proposed home occupation should be virtually undetectable. The proposal is compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhood and consistent with the criteria found in Section 234, Home Greg Smith Page 2of2 Occupation, of the Zoning Ordinance. There are no employees, few deliveries, and only a small number of individuals coming to the house for merchandise. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they concluded the proposed use will not impact surrounding properties, the proposal is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance's criteria for home occupations, and there was no opposition. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request with the following conditions: In accordance with Section 234 of the City Zoning Ordinance, not more than twenty (20) percent of the floor area of the dwelling unit and accessory structure shall be used in conjunction with the home occupation. 2. No signs advertising the business shall be permitted on the premises or installed on the lot or buildings on the lot at any time. 3. There shall be no individuals employed by the applicant to assist with the home occupation other than one family. 4. Sales to the general public of product or merchandise shall not be permitted on the property. 5. The home occupation shall not create noise, dust, vibration, smell, smoke, glare, electrical interference, fire hazard, or any other hazard or nuisance to any greater or more frequent extent than would normally be expected in the neighborhood under normal circumstances wherein no home occupation exists. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

Greg Smith: Yes ma'am, I have. Janice Anderson: Thank you sir. Greg Smith: Thank you. Janice Anderson: Is there any objection to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? See none, the Chairman has asked Gene Crabtree to review this application. Eugene Crabtree: This application, basically what it is for a hobby that has grown to the extent that it has become necessary to be a business and has to have a Conditional Use Permit in a home garage. It does not affect any other surrounding properties. It doesn't affect any other homeowners in the area. There is no opposition to it from anyone in the area. It will not create anymore traffic into the area. There will be no employees other than family members that will work in this business, so it doesn't really impact whatsoever on the neighborhood. There will be no signs. There will be no merchandise sales made directly on the property. They will always be wholesale or on the internet. Therefore, we felt it was the appropriate thing to put it on the consent agenda. Janice Anderson: Thank you Gene. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion to approve agenda item 8.

J. Nutter, 222 Central Park Avenue, Phone: 687-7502, represented the applicant and advised the applicant will dedicate a right-of-way to straighten out Princess Anne Road, in addition to excess property donated to Nimmo Church for their expansion. Attorney Nutter displayed a large area between the homes. The existing right-of-way for the Church will remain open space preservation area (a very large area of tree preservation between the residents and those traversing Princess Anne Road). A preservation easement will also be dedicated to the City. The issue entails connectivity to the Three Oaks neighborhood immediately to the south of this application. There will NOT be a vehicle connection with Three Oaks. However, when the P-1 area is rezoned, Council Lady Henley, representatives of the City will meet with the neighborhood and determine (although no vehicular connection), if emergency and pedestrian connections are desired between Matthews Green and Three Oaks. The applicant will pay the cost of these connections. Dennis Meligonis, 2256 Kindling Hollow Road, Phone: 430-4425, President - Three Oaks Homes Association, advised he would enjoy the upscale neighborhood consisting offorty-nine (49) homes adjacent to Three Oaks. The community has not had time to meet re the emergency access and bike path. They would like to confer with Council Lady Henley and the Fire Chief Joseph Giancola, 2228 Kindling Hollow Road, Phone: 427-0245, resident of Three Oaks for 19 years, submitted the original petition to oppose any connection to Mathews Green. The Petition contains the signatures of 218 homeowners opposed to any connectivity to the Mathews Green community. Said petition is hereby made a part of the record. The first survey resulted in 189 signatures opposed to a street connection. The following registered in OPPOSTION.- Renee Swinson, 2200 Kindling Hollow Road, Phone: 427-1956, over the past few years, numerous developments have been considered and approved within the Transition Area. With the increase in density, the need for this development is questioned. During the last three (3) years, over eight hundred (800) homes have been approved for development in the Transition Area. Kellam and Three Oaks Elementary Schools will have a difficult time accommodating the students. The cost for owning a home in Virginia Beach is more expensive and traffic congestion is also increasing. Funds are not increasing to balance the infrastructure needs with the increased density created by residential developments. Mayor Oberndorf referenced the correspondence form Captain P.J. Lorge, U.S. Navy, Commanding Officer, Naval Air Station Oceana;.suggesting representatives of Mathews Green Association contact the Community Planning Liaison Officer, Ray Firenze. The Navy's Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Program designates residential development in this contour as incompatible. However, the 2005 Hampton Roads Joint Land Use Study produced no constraints on development in the 65 to 70 dB DNL sound contour. Said letter is hereby made a part of the record. Council Lady Henley advised the Civic Association has suspended meetings for the summer; therefore, they have not addressed the recommendations from the Planning staff for a pedestrian trail or from the Fire Chieffor emergency access without a connecting road. As the application for P-1 Preservation area will have to be considered at a future City Council Session, these accesses could then be considered. August 22, 2006 CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: Application of Mathews Green Associates, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning District Classification from R-20 Residential District with a PD -1-12 Overlay to P-1 Preservation District on property located at 2217 Mathews Green (GPIN 2404949948). DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE. MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 ■ Background: The applicant proposes to rezone a portion of property currently zoned PD -1-12 (R-20) to P-1, as required in the proffers of the Conditional Rezoning for the entire parcel approved by City Council on August 22, 2006. As part of that rezoning, the applicant proffered the dedication to the City of Virginia Beach the portion of property proposed for rezoning to P-1. ■ Considerations: The relevant proffers from the 2006 Conditional Rezoning are as follows: PROFFER 10: Grantor shall dedicate the area shown on the Conceptual Plan as "Open Space / Preservation Area" (the Preservation Area") to the City of Virginia Beach, no later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of the first building permit within Grantor's development. The Preservation Area shall be subject to restrictive covenants recorded which prohibit the use of such area for any purposes other than open space use or passive recreational uses, such as hiking trails, walking paths, or other similar uses which do not detract from the forestral nature of the Preservation Area. The restrictive covenants shall run with the land and be in full force and effect for a period of at least fifty (50) years. The covenants shall become part of the deed dedicating the Preservation Area to the City of Virginia Beach. The covenants shall be approved by the City Attorney, or his designee. PROFFER 11: Grantor shall file and obtain approval of a rezoning petition to rezone the Open Space Area to P-1 Preservation District, as defined in the CZO, prior to the approval of any subdivision plat within Grantor's development or the issuance of a building permit. Mathews Green Associates, LLC Page 2of2 A secondary issue remaining from the 2006 Conditional Rezoning pertains to the installation of an emergency gate where Kindling Hollow Road ends in the adjacent residential neighborhood. This gate allows for emergency access through the open space area of the proposed community, connecting with Mathews Way. While this is not a requirement of the proffers of the 2006 rezoning, the applicant noted that it would be addressed at this point in the development process. To provide for the safety and well-being of these adjoining communities, the details for the provision of the emergency access way have been agreed to, and thus this issue is satisfied. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because it fulfills a proffer of the August 22, 2006 rezoning, ensures the preservation of a forested open space area, and there was no opposition. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

It is the application of Mathews Green Associates, L.L.C. This is an application for a Change of Zoning from R-20 Residential District with a PD -H2 Overlay to Conditional P-1 Preservation District on property located at 2217 Mathews Green in the Princess Ann District. Welcome. James Hogan: My name is James Hogan representing Mathews Green Associates. Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Hogan. James Hogan: We are in agreement with what the proffers stated on the application. We do understand there are some issues concerning this gate at Kindling Hollow Road, but I think that is an open discussion that will continue from this point to City Council. Janice Anderson: Okay. It is my understanding that you are still going to work with that gate issue but the rezoning, that would be straight rezoning on this? James Hogan: Yes. Janice Anderson: Thank you. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? I see none. The Chairman has asked Don Horsley to review this application. Donald Horsley: Thank you Ms. Anderson: This piece of property was just recently rezoned R-20 with a PD -H2 Overlay. And the applicant wishes to change the zoning classification, a portion of it to P-1, which was required to get the Conditional Rezoning on August 22, 2007. The part of the rezoning, the applicant proffered to dedicate the portion of the P-1. So, this is just merely a housekeeping issue as part of the conditions that were imposed on it in August of this year. The gate that the gentleman mentioned is still in discussion but I think that is a very easy solution can be put to allowing access to this preserved area. So, there was no opposition to this application so the Commission thought it warranted the merits of being put on the consent agenda. Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Horsley. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion to approve agenda item 3. Item #3 Mathews Green Associates, L.L.C.

KOTARIDES DEVELOPERS Agenda Item 17 Page 3 EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers. The proffers are provided below. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area as part of the Primary Residential Area. The land use policies reflect the importance of neighborhood character and its relationship to compatible land use and traffic management, and 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, residential and non-residential, located in and around these neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering future development. The Plan states that: "All development should incorporate environmentally sensitive design that protects the integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, incorporates crime prevention principles and enhances the overall function and visual quality of the street, neighboring properties and community." Page 179 The long term goal for the Military Highway Corridor is to replace the industrial activities with other uses that are more compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhoods. These may include a variety of higher density residential, office, hotel and institutional uses (i.e. education, religion, recreation, health, etc.). Evaluation: The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for the area. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the goal of this area is to promote redevelopment with a variety of higher density residential, office, hotel and institutional uses that are compatible with surrounding residential uses. The proposed rezoning is more compatible to the surrounding residential area than the existing business zoning. The proposed density of 18.5 units to the acre as arranged on the site is compatible with the residential area to the east and the multi -family developments to the south. The quality of life for residents of the proposed development will be enhanced with recreational and leisure opportunities located within the complex including a tot lot, walking path, swimming pool, picnic shelters, gazebos, open space, and clubhouse with an exercise facility and kitchen. The applicant is enhancing the site's natural resources with the addition of a fountain and scenic bridge within and over the existing water body, and a pathway integrated throughout the site and the existing wooded Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area on the eastern edge of the site. Staff finds the proposed fencing along with a fifteen (15) foot Category IV landscape buffer located between the proposed apartments and the existing commercial to the north an adequate buffer between the two uses. Staff further finds that the existing infrastructure including roads, water, access for KOTARIDES DEVELOPERS Agenda Item 17 Page 4 emergency vehicles and schools will support the proposed development with the recommendations as specified in the "Impact on City Services" section of this report. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of the proposed rezoning with proffers as submitted.

An application of Kotarides Developers for a Change of Zoning District Classification from B-2 Community Business District to Conditional A-24 Apartment District on property located at 920 South Military Highway, District 1, Centerville with 15 proffers. Barry Knight: Welcome Ann. We would like to let you know that we have no noted opposition but this is such a large project so if you could give us a brief synopsis of it, that would give us a clear picture. Ann Crenshaw: Yes. For the record Mr. Knight, Mr. Chairman, Ann Crenshaw, I'm at the Virginia Beach office at Kaufman and Canoles. I have the pleasure of representing Kotarides Developers this afternoon. Kotarides has been in the business along time. They acquire, build, maintain and service their apartment complexes. They have over 1,700 apartment homes in the area, and have never sold one. So, they're in for the long term and they're local folks. The site is 16.94 acres. It is currently a old driving range, arcade, and a miniature golf facility. It is currently zoned B-2, and I'm grateful for the exchange that took place with Mr. Bourdon's application because this indeed could be a shopping center or a big box by -right. Instead my clients have proposed a residential community. They have asked for an A-24 classification, solely for height purposes. We have agreed to proffer no more than 18.5 units per acre. There will be twelve three-story apartment complexes, 300 units including 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apartments. We have more than adequate parking. The primary access will be on Old Providence Road. We have worked extensively with staff to make sure that we have complied with Category IV buffers. There will be very many amenities that were explained in detailed in the informal. We have also attempted with this project to fulfill the community need for workforce housing. We are providing the amenities that would go along with a languorous apartment complex but we can provide housing for folks who have as little as $36,000 income per year. And, the rents would be market. There are no subsidies. But, in short, I will say that what we want to do is eliminate what we believe we're offering is to generate less traffic then we could generate by -right with a B-2 use. We will be eliminating large stadium lighting that is currently affects the neighbors. We hope to perform a service by providing workforce housing that is attractive and an improvement to the neighborhood. Barry Knight: Ms. Crenshaw? You did say A-24 zoning? Item #17 Kotarides Developers Page 2 Ann Crenshaw: Yes. A-24 but we have proffered no more than 18.5 per unit. We needed that for the extra height. Barry Knight: Right. Thank you. Mr. Strange? Joseph Strange: Did Mr. Blevins want to make a statement? Ann Crenshaw: No. If I could just say one thing? We wrote approximately 18 civic leagues, offered to meet individually. They did not seek to do that. We instead, had a community meeting and since nobody really wanted to meet with us, we held one anyway and invited all of these folks to come. We had a few folks appear but none of whom who were in opposition to the projects. Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Ms. Crenshaw about the project? Okay. Thank you. Ms. Wood? Dorothy Wood: I would like to make a motion that it be approved. Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor to approve by Dot Wood and a second by Kathy Katsias. Is there any discussion? I'll call for the question. Ed Weeden: By a vote of 11-0, the Board has approved the application of Kotarides Developers.
