Relevant Information
The Conditional Use Permit allowing an

Independent Living Senior Housing Facility was

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH –CITY ZONING
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
City of VB
An Ordinance to amend Section 902(b)(7) of the City
Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the MaximumDensity
of Multifamily Dwellings
Relevant Information
This amendment clarifies that the method for
•
determining density for multifamily dwellings is
the same in the B-4C Central Business Mixed
Use District and the B-4K Historic Kempsville
Area Mixed Use District.
Section 902(b)(7) provides the maximum
•
allowable density for both the B-4C and B-4K
Districts; however, the method for calculating
density on the same line of that ordinance
section mentions only the B-4C District.
The City Attorney’s Office and staff concluded
•
that this was an oversight and the proposed
amendment is a ‘housekeeping’ correction.

Relevant Information
The applicant proposes Modification of
•
Proffers of a 1999 and 2010 Rezoning as well
as Modification of the Conditions of the 2010
Use Permit for an auto repair facility and car
wash.
The primary purpose of the modifications is
•
to maintain two separate parcels (one for
existing store and one for the proposed
repair facility).
Also proposed is rearrangement of the
•
interior of the repair facility. The new interior
layout, lessens the potential negative impact
on the adjacent residential area.

Forbes
Expansion of a Nonconforming Use
Charles and Sharon Forbes
Relevant Information
The property is one lot with two separate
•
single-family dwellings: Condominium Unit A
and Condominium Unit B.
The Zoning Ordinance, however, does not
•
allow two single-family dwellings on the
same lot, thus each is non-conforming.
The applicants (owners of Unit A) are
•
requesting an expansion of their house. The
proposal entails converting an existing
covered patio at the rear of the house into
184.1 SF of living area.

Evaluation and
Recommendation
Since this is an application for the expansion
•
of a non-conforming use, the Planning
Commission does not have a public hearing;
therefore, there is no recommendation.
The staff will provide a recommendation to the
•
City Council prior to the March 27 meeting.

AragonaChurch of Christ
Relevant Information
On January 10, City Council indefinitely deferred this
•
item to provide the applicant an opportunity to meet
with the community and resolve outstanding issues.
The applicant has been in discussions with the
community, and a resolution has been reached.
The applicant proposes to subdivide a 1.68 acre
•
parcel from an existing 3.9 acre church site and
rezone this property to a Conditional PD-H2 with
underlying A-12.
The proposal is proffered for 16 single-family
•
dwelling units (with a minimum floor area of 1,350 SF.
The exterior architecture of the dwelling units is
•
similar to a coastal cottage design with architectural
shingles, raised standing seam metal roof accents,
vinyl siding and brick skirts.
The Conditional Use Permit for the church is required
•
because the applicant is reducing the size and design
of the church property.
