December 8, 2009 -8- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFINGS EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCENTIVE 3:10 P.M. ITEM # 59452 Sherriff Paul Lanteigne advised Councilman Diezel, Chair -Mayor's Committee on Employee Pensions, had requested the Sherriexamine a Retirement Incentive Plan similar to 1991 for his Committee. The City Manager had distributed a survey requesting three (3) options, each saving approximately $3.7- MILLION. 2.5 Furlough Days for employees Decrease in salaries of one percent (1 %) Lay off of sixty (60) employees *Patricia Phillips, Director of Finance, advised a savings of $3.7-MILLION was derived from the lay- offs, by calculating the salaries and benefits. Mrs. Phillips advised the calculations re unemployment benefits were not utilized. Sherriff Lanteigne detailed these calculations: LAYOFF'S According to Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) • Current weekly maximum is $ 378 • Current maximum number weeks is 26 • Current maximum pay-off per employee $ 9828 Sheriff Lanteigne advised that including the unemployment benefits would reduce the savings of $3.7- MILLION by $600,000, equating to $3.1-MILLION. On the other hand, if sixty (60) employees were enticed to retire, approximately $4.5-MILLION could be saved. LAST HIRED -FIRST FIRED? • Typical government philosophy • Easiest to defend • Least cost efficient • Least effective • Values seniority over productivity Chesapeake had layoffs, which were based on productivity. December 8, 2009 -9- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFINGS EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCENTIVE ITEM # 59452 (Continued) Solumc 10, ixeue i dctobcr i, 2009 SNEXIFI=' P<9GfI LAt~`TEIGNE'S 1'I'l]sSS 1Gls SPECIAI, EDI°I`IC)N Since our fast newsletter the State budget cuts that I reported have increased sig- ni#icantly from approximately $680,000 to over $930,000. As many of you are aware, the Clerk of Circuit Court was forced to lay off 11 employees in an effort to deal with the State budget cuts they are now facing. To say that we are in unusualtimes would be an understatement. I am currently working on several fronts in an effort to mitigate the damage which will allow us to get through these challenging times as best we can. We can not expect to maintain the status quo; reductions will be the norm in every division. 1 have implemented a hiring freeze that will probably last through the fiscal year. ", Unfortunately, with the state of the economy, our attrition rate will be minuscule. Based on our projections there is no way that voluntary separations alone will provide the needed savings. I will do everything in my power to avoid layoffs. I can not, however, guarantee that layoffs are completely out of the equation. The one thing that I can assure you of is that should layoffs occur they will not be dealt with in the typical government process of last hired -first fired. We will examine each personnel file, checking the annual evaluations, disciplinary actions and other documented work behavior. As has always been our philosophy -working here will be based on performance. I understand that one of the most significant stressors in our lives is a lack of control. Whi e we can not predict the future, we can work harder in the present. I know that all of you will assist by working together as a team to get us through these tough times. You have never let me down. In fact., you have consistently exceeded my expec- tations. I am confident that we will once again succeed in facing the challenges that lie 1 ahead.

Villanueva, Rosemary Wilson and James L. Wood Council Members Absent.• None INVOCATION: Reverend Ted David Virginia Beach United Methodist Church PLEDGE OFALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OFAMERICA Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED as an officer of TowneBank (which has a corporate office located at 297 Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), he is directly and indirectly involved in many of TowneBank's transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, TowneBank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Prudential Towne Realty, which is an affiliate of TowneBank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act'), it is his practice to thoroughly review each City Council agenda to ident~ any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a `personal interest ", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of March 24, 2009, is hereby made a part of the record. December 8, 2009 -38- Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank.

Three prominent Surfers from Virginia Beach [Bob Holland, Pete Smith and Butch Maloney) were among those advancing the reputation of this event all along the East Coast. The third year the Virginia Beach Jaycees sponsored the event, more activities were added which enhanced the event that now draws more than one hundred thousand surfing fans and beach lovers to watch the "World's Best" amateur and professional surfers compete for the "crown': Today, the ECSC is the second longest, continuously-run surfing contest in the world" George has gone beyond his love of surfing and volunteered his knowledge, leadership and expertise as a City Council appointed member of the Board of Zoning Appeals, first in 2002 as an Alternate and now a full time member. His calm disposition is an attribute which affords his tactfully addressing the concerns of citizens whose applications are considered for zoning variances.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. No. 115-5, 123 Stat. 115 (2009) (the "Stimulus Act") added sections 1400U-1 through 1400U-3 to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), authorizing state and local governments, including cities such as the City, to designate "recovery zones" for the purposes of issuing Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds and Recovery Zone Facility Bonds. The City has received an allocation pursuant to the Stimulus Act enabling it currently to issue up to $4,996,000 in Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, and the City plans to seek additional issuing authority under a Recovery Zone Bond re-allocation program to be established by the Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to the Governor's Executive Order Number 94 (2009), issued on September 30, 2009. The City Council has by resolution designated the 19th Street Corridor within the City as a recovery zone and desires to issue directly or indirectly one or more series of Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, 45% of the interest on which is to be paid by the U.S. Treasury Department pursuant to the Stimulus Act, to fund or reimburse qualifying expenditures within the recovery zone as permitted by Section 1400U-2 of the Code. The City has applied to the Virginia Local Government Finance Corporation, a Virginia nonstock, nonprofit corporation (the "Program Administrator"), for the Industrial Development Authority of the County of Stafford and the City of Staunton, Virginia (the "Issuer") for the purchase of the City's general obligations bonds and the Issuer has indicated its willingness to purchase such bonds from the proceeds of its Recovery Zone Pool Bond Program to be funded through the Issuer's Revenue Bonds (Recovery Zone Bonds Program), Series 2010A (the "RZ Pool Bonds"), in accordance with the terms of (i) a Loan Agreement to be dated as of a date specified by the Issuer, between the Issuer and the City (the "Loan Agreement") and (ii) a Local Bond Sale Agreement to be dated the date of sale of the RZ Pool Bonds, between the Issuer and the City (the "Local Bond Sale Agreement"), the forms of which have been presented to this meeting. The City Council has determined it is in the City's best interest to issue and sell up to $9,300,000 of the bonds authorized on May 13, 2008 to fund capital expenditures within the 19tH Street Corridor Recovery Zone for the purpose of promoting development or other economic activity within the zone. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY: 1. Issuance of Bonds. There shall be issued, pursuant to the Constitution and statutes of the Commonwealth of Virginia, including the City Charter (Chapter 147 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1962, as amended) and the Public Finance Act of 1991 (Chapter 26, Title 15.2, Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended), general obligation bonds of the City in the maximum principal amount of $9,300,000 (the "Bonds"). The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to pay or reimburse certain qualifying expenditures including property acquisition within the 19th Street Corridor Recovery Zone (the "Project") as permitted by Code Section 1400U-2, and to pay certain costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Project and the expenditure of proceeds of the Bonds for Project costs are hereby approved. 2. Authorization of Loan Agreement. The form of the Loan Agreement submitted to this meeting is hereby approved. The City Manager is authorized to execute the Loan Agreement in substantially such form, with such completions, omissions, insertions and changes not inconsistent with this Resolution as may be approved by such official, whose approval shall be evidenced conclusively by the execution and delivery thereof. The issuance and sale of the Bonds to the Issuer shall be upon the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. The proceeds of such bonds shall be applied in the manner set forth in the Loan Agreement. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Loan Agreement. 3. Bond Details. The Bonds shall be issued as one or more registered bonds, shall have the description and terms set forth in the form of Bond attached as Exhibit A (the "Bond Form") shall be in the principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth above and shall mature no later than 22 years after the date of their initial delivery. The City Council authorizes the issuance and sale of the Bonds on terms as shall be satisfactory to the City Manager; provided, however, that the Bonds shall have a "true" interest cost not to exceed 6.5% (taking into account any expected subsidy payments related to the RZ Pool Bonds and allocable to the Bonds, but exclusive of Additional Payments), shall be sold to the Issuer at a price not less than 98% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds (exclusive of any original discount on the RZ Pool Bonds allocable to the Bonds), and shall be subject to optional redemption upon the terms set forth in the Loan Agreement.

The Bonds shall be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor or Vice-Mayor, shall be countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the City Clerk or Deputy Clerk, and the City's seal shall be affixed thereto or a facsimile thereof printed thereon; provided, that if both of such signatures are facsimiles, no Bond shall be valid until it has been authenticated by the manual signature of the City Treasurer, as Registrar, or an authorized officer or employee of any bank or trust company serving as successor Registrar and the date of authentication noted thereon. 6. Bond Form. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A, with such completions, omissions, insertions and changes not inconsistent with this Resolution as may be approved by the officers signing the Bonds, whose approval shall be evidenced conclusively by the execution and delivery of the Bonds. 7. Pledge of Full Faith and Credit. The full faith and credit of the City are hereby irrevocably pledged for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. Unless other funds are lawfully available and appropriated for timely payment of the Bonds, the City Council shall levy and collect an annual ad valorem tax, over and above all other taxes authorized or limited by law and without limitation as to rate or amount, on all locally taxable property in the City sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. 8.

Any such transfer or exchange shall be at the expense of the City, except that the Registrar may charge the person requesting such transfer or exchange the amount of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect thereto. The Registrar shall treat the registered owner as the person or entity exclusively entitled to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and the exercise of all other rights and powers of the owner, except that interest payments shall be made to the person or entity shown as owner on the registration books as of the Record Date set forth in the Bond. 9. Mutilated, Lost or Destroyed Bonds. If any Bond has been mutilated, lost or destroyed, the City shall execute and deliver a new Bond of like date and tenor in exchange and substitution for, and upon cancellation of, such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost or destroyed Bond; provided, however, that the City shall so execute and deliver only if the registered owner has paid the reasonable expenses and charges of the City in connection therewith and, in the case of a lost or destroyed Bond, (a) has filed with the City evidence satisfactory to the City that such Bond was lost or destroyed and (b) has furnished to the City satisfactory indemnity. 10. Preparation and Delivery of Bonds. The officers of the City are authorized and directed to take all proper steps to have the Bonds prepared and executed in accordance with their terms and to deliver them to the Issuer as the purchaser thereof upon receipt of the Purchase Price from the Issuer as set forth in the Loan Agreement and the Local Bond Sale Agreement. 11. Arbitrase Covenants. The City covenants that it shall not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission of which will cause the Bonds or the RZ Pool Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" (within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations issued pursuant thereto (the "Code")), or otherwise cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in the gross income of the registered owner thereof under existing law or cause the RZ Pool Bonds to not qualify as "recovery zone economic development bonds" (within the meaning of Section 1400U-2 of the Code). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City shall comply with any provision of law that may require the City at any time to rebate to the United States any part of the earnings derived from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds or the RZ Pool Bonds, unless the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that such compliance is not required to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in the gross income for federal income tax purposes of the registered owners thereof under existing law or to prevent the RZ Pool Bonds from not qualifying as "recovery zone economic development bonds" (within the meaning of Section 1400U-2 of the Code). The City shall pay any such required rebate from legally available funds. 12. Tax Compliance Documentation. Such officers of the City as may be requested are authorized and directed to execute and deliver any documentation necessary to establish the exemption from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds or the qualification of the RZ Pool Bonds as "recovery zone economic development bonds" (within the meaning of Section 1400U-2 of the Code) as may be approved by the officers of the City executing such documents, whose approval shall be evidenced conclusively by the execution and delivery thereof. 4 13. Limitation on Private Use. The City covenants that it shall not permit the proceeds of the Bonds or the RZ Pool Bonds or the facilities financed with the proceeds of the Bond or the RZ Pool Bonds to be used in any manner that would result in (a) 5% or more of such proceeds or the facilities financed with such proceeds being used in a trade or business carried on by any person other than a governmental unit, as provided in Section 141(b) of the Code, (b) 5% or more of such proceeds or the facilities financed with such proceeds being used with respect to any output facility (other than a facility for the furnishing of water), (within the meaning of Section 141(b)(4) of the Code), or (c) 5% or more of such proceeds being used directly or indirectly to make or finance loans to any persons other than a governmental unit, as provided in Section 141(c) of the Code; provided, however, that if the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that any such covenants need not be complied with to prevent the interest on the Bonds from being includable in the gross income for federal income tax purposes of the registered owners thereof under existing law or to prevent the RZ Pool Bonds from not qualifying as "recovery zone economic development bonds" (within the meaning of Section 1400U-2 of the Code), the City need not comply with such covenants. 14. Official Statement. The City authorizes and consents to the inclusion of information with respect to the City contained in the Issuer's Preliminary Official Statement and the Issuer's Official Statement in final form, both prepared in connection with the sale of the RZ Pool Bonds. 15. Investment Authorization. The City Council hereby authorizes the Director of Finance to direct the City Treasurer to utilize the State Non-Arbitrage Program of the Commonwealth of Virginia ("SNAP") in connection with the investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, if the City Manager and the Director of Finance determine that the utilization of SNAP is in the best interest of the City. The City Council acknowledges that the Treasury Board of the Commonwealth of Virginia is not, and shall not be, in any way liable to the City in connection with SNAP, except as otherwise provided in the SNAP Contract. 16. Allocation of Volume Cap for Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds. The City Council of the City hereby allocates all of its current volume cap for Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds to the RZ Pool Bonds or to the Bonds as determined by the City Manager and, to the extent required, the City Manager is hereby authorized to make any designation or take any other actions needed to issue either the RZ Pool Bonds or the Bonds as Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds. The City Manager is further authorized to take any action needed with respect to additional volume cap reallocated to the City pursuant to Executive Order 94 (or any subsequent Executive Order addressing the same) of the Governor of Virginia. It is hereby determined that the Project will promote development or other economic activity and is for a qualified economic development purpose (within the meaning of Section 1400U-2 of the Code). 17. Authorization to City Manager. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, in lieu of issuing the Bonds through the RZ Pool Bonds program, the City may issue the Bonds as Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds directly to the public upon the City Manager's determination that it is in the City's best interest to do so, and the City Manager may make all necessary designations in connection therewith. Upon such determination, the City Manager is hereby authorized to cause the Bonds to be issued without further approval by City Council within the parameters of (i) the principal amount, (ii) term to maturity and (iii) "true" interest cost (taking into account expected federal subsidy payments) as set forth in paragraph 3 of this Resolution, and with redemption terms established by the City Manager in consultation with the City's Financial Advisor. Further, upon such determination by the City Manager, the Bonds shall be issued using a Preliminary Official Statement and Notice of Sale substantially in the forms of such documents presented to and approved by City Council in connection with the City's General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2009A and 2009B, to be issued, and may be included for sale as a series of bonds with such refunding bonds, any other series of bonds or sold separately as the City Manager may determine. Such documents shall be revised or updated to reflect terms deemed necessary or appropriate for the issuance of the Bonds, and the form of such Bond shall be substantially in the form of bond approved for the Series 2009A and 2009B Bonds. The City Manager and officers of the City are further authorized to perform such acts and sign such documents deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds as is customary in connection with the issuance of general obligation bonds of the City, as generally reflected in the resolution approving the Series 2009A and 2009B Bonds. 18. Statement of Intent to Issue Bonds. In the event the City Manager determines it is in the City's best interest to issue Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds directly, as opposed to issuing such bonds through the RZ Pool Bonds program, the City Council hereby expresses its intent to issue such bonds by way of competitive sale as a part of the City's general obligation refunding bond sale presently scheduled for January 2010 or such other competitive sale of the City. 19. Other Actions. All other actions of officials of the City in conformity with the purposes and intent of this Resolution and in furtherance of the issuance and sale of the Bond are ratified, approved and confirmed. The officials of the City are authorized and directed to execute and deliver all certificates and other instruments considered necessary or desirable in connection with the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds pursuant to this Resolution, the Loan Agreement and the Local Bond Sale Agreement. 20. Concurrence in the Resolution of the Issuer. The City Council of the City concurs with the resolution of the Issuer adopted or to be adopted by the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the RZ Pool Bonds as required by Section 15.2-4905 of the Code. 21. Repeal of Conflicting Resolutions. All resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict herewith are repealed. 22. Effective Date.

WITNESS my signature and the seal of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, this st day of December, 2009. Clerk, City Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (SEAL) 1885783v1 COUNCIL 12_8_09 RESOLUTION DESIGNATING AN AREA OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA KNOWN AS THE 19TH STREET CORRIDOR AS A RECOVERY ZONE PURSUANT TO THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. No. 115-5, 123 Stat. 115 (2009) (the "Stimulus Act") added sections 1400U-1 through 1400U-3 to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), authorizing state and local governments, including cities such as the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "City"), to designate "recovery zones" for the purposes of issuing Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds and Recovery Zone Facility Bonds (such bonds are referred to collectively as "Recovery Zone Bonds"). Pursuant to the Stimulus Act, the term "recovery zone" means (i) any area designated by the issuer as having significant poverty, unemployment, rate of home foreclosures, or general distress, (ii) any area designated by the issuer as economically distressed by reason of closure or realignment of a military installation pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, and (iii) any area for which a designation as an empowerment zone or renewal community is in effect as of the effective date of the Stimulus Act, which effective date was February 17, 2009. The Stimulus Act imposes a national bond volume limitation (the "volume cap") for Recovery Zone Bonds and requires issuance of such bonds by January 1, 2011. In Internal Revenue Service Notice 2009-50 (the "IRS Notice") issued pursuant to the Stimulus Act, the City's allocation includes $4,996,000 of volume cap for Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds, which are taxable governmental bonds that may be used to finance expenditures for certain "qualified economic development purposes. The IRS Notice provides that any state, county or large municipality that receives a volume cap allocation for Recovery Zone Bonds may make the designations of recovery zones in any reasonable manner as it shall determine in good faith in its discretion. By Executive Order Number 94 (2009), dated September 30, 2009, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia established procedures to be followed by local governments to reserve Recovery Zone Bond volume cap allocated pursuant to the Stimulus Act, including, filing by November 2, 2009 of a notice of intent to issue Recovery Zone Bonds, filing by December 15, 2009 of a Project Verification Report, containing, among other things, documentation evidencing establishment of one or more recovery zones and approval of the projects to be undertaken, and issuance by March 15, 2010 of Recovery Zone Bonds. The City Council of the City (the "Council") desires to designate a recovery zone in order to permit the issuance of Recovery Zone Bonds pursuant to the Stimulus Act and to satisfy a requirement of the Governor's Executive Order for reserving Recovery Zone Bond volume cap. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: Section 1. Findings; Designation of Recovery Zone. The Council hereby finds and determines, based upon certain financial information and economic data presented to the Council, including median income, household income, number of residents at or below the federal poverty level and the number of federally subsidized housing units, that the area of the City known as the 19th Street Corridor, shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, is experiencing significant general distress when compared to the City as a whole. Based on such findings, the Council hereby designates the area shown on Exhibit A as a "recovery zone" for the purpose of issuing Recovery Zone Bonds. The recovery zone so designated shall be identified as the 19th Street Corridor Recovery Zone (the "Recovery Zone"). Section 2. Authorizations. The Council authorizes the City Manager to make or effect any, election, selection, designation, approval, consent, filing or waiver regarding volume cap allocations, including re-allocations of such volume cap to City-related entities, as the City is permitted or required to make or give under the Stimulus Act or under procedures or policies adopted by the Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to Executive Order Number 94 (2009). The City Manager is further authorized to develop guidelines for the use of Recovery Zone Bonds and seek additional or supplemental Recovery Zone Bond volume cap from any re- allocation process established under such Executive Order and any amendments thereto. The authorization herein granted to the City Manager may be delegated by the City Manager in his discretion to one or more officers of the City. Section 3. Other Actions. All actions of the officers, staff and agents of the City previously taken that are in conformity with the intent and purpose of this Resolution and in furtherance of the designation of the Recovery Zone are hereby ratified, approved and confirmed. The officers and staff of the City are authorized and directed to take all such further action as may be considered necessary or desirable in connection with the intent and purpose of this Resolution, including taking all necessary steps to identify projects for which the issuance of Recovery Zone Bonds would be appropriate. Section 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

Christopher Farms is the primary one. The density in the Comprehensive Plan for that area is 3 to 3-% units per acre. In 1997, the Comprehensive Plan was revised to create incentives to assemble all these smaller parcels and part of this Incentive Plan was if these parcels could be assembled and dedicated to build London Bridge Road Extended from Holland to Princess Anne (which is a 125 foot parkway). The Comprehensive Plan provided that up to six (6) units per acre residential versus 3 to 3-% units per acre. Now, with the BRAG, this cannot be accomplished. The development of this property would not create the need for this road. This portion of the Plan needs to be revised.

Pages 3-8 and 3-9: SHORE DRIVE CORRIDOR • The Shore Drive Corridor is an integral part of the Bayfront Community, extending from North Independence Boulevard to First Landing State Park. While primarily a residential community, the corridor shares the responsibility of being one of Virginia Beach's primary east-west connectors, creating unique and sometimes problematic challenges. The area is considered a resort 1 neighborhood and not a resort destination. This means that the Shore Drive Corridor: 1. while the most densely populated area of the city, is primarily a neighborhood residential area; 2. comprises commercial uses to support the neighborhoods; 3. has to accommodate Shore Drive, a primary circulation corridor for the city; 4. affords more passive recreational and tourism amenities; The Bayfront Advisory Committee (originally established as the Shore Drive Advisory Committee) was established by City Council in 1998 to guide and provide guidance for matters relating to planning, community design and public information. More information is provided in the 1997 Bayfront study conducted by the Urban Land Institute. These are supported by a set of Shore Drive Corridor Design Guidelines that provide the form and function of land use in this area. Both of these documents are available in the Document Library at www.ourfuturevb.com. THE PLANNING POLICIES THAT APPLY TO THE ENTIRE SHORE DRIVE CORRIDOR AND BAYFRONT COMMUNITIES ARE: • complete remaining roadway improvements (all identified Phases) along Shore Drive to enhance the safety, access and character of the Corridor; • replace the aging Lesner Bridge with a new "signature bridge"; • retain Shore Drive as a four-lane road for as long as is practical, but protect the necessary right-of-way for an expansion to a six-lane facility, if necessary; • preserve and protect the character of the established neighborhoods; • improve land use compatibilities and avoid over commercialization to insure that resort-based uses compliment rather than dominate this corridor; • encourage reuse/ revitalization of existing commercial properties; • achieve the lowest reasonable density for future residential uses; • develop residential Design Guidelines for the corridor and its established neighborhoods, to complement the existing commercial property guidelines; • enhance the use of incentive zoning and overlay districts to include commercial properties, to manage future growth and promote corridor beautification; • improve public parking and public access to the beachfronts; • provide safe and appropriate pedestrian and bicycle circulation; • provide a continuous multipurpose trail through this corridor; • provide continued support for the cleaning of the Chesapeake Bay, Lynnhaven dredging and oyster restoration efforts. 2 The following sections provide further planning guidance for the three sub-areas in the Shore Drive Corridor and Bayfront Communities: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PLEASURE HOUSE POINT - IF THE PROPERTY IS DEVELOPED THE FOLLOWING SHOULD APPLY: SFA 1.1- PLEASURE HOUSE POINT Support a well planned and well design project that could include residential, retail, office, institutional, environmental research, or educational components, or other public uses that complement the sensitive site.
