Mr. Harris welcomed Secretary of Commerce Jim Cheng, along with six (6) members of the Development Authoriry who provided tremendous support to this project. Mr. Harris stated the Project being introduced today is an incredible opportunity from two large entertainment companies. Comcast-Spectacor and Live Nation joined forces to put together an excellent opportunity for the City whereby an Arena arzd entertainment venues, in addition to sporting venues, could occur within the City. The proposal is an 18,500 seat Arena to be located in the area adjacent to the Convention Center on 19th Street. A number of reports are out suggesting a formal proposal " being presented; however, due to the complexity and nature of this Project, that would be difficult to put together without a consensus from the City. What will be presented today is a"level of interest" that is second to none to work with the City in an open environment with public involvement as an important purt of the pf•ocess. Peter Lukko, President/COO - Comcast-Spectacor was in attendance and assisted in the presentation, which consisted of the following power point: August 28, 2012 -3- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) OPPORTUNITY TO DEVEIOP a state of the art 18,500 seat arena Proposed by the team of COMCAST-SPECTACOR AND LIVE NATION CAPTURE MAJOR LIVE PERFORMANCE EVENTS that currently bypass the region Create a MAJOR NEW ECONOMIC GENERATOR to enhance the quality of life for residents of the City Today's Program ?

This project can enhance not only the City but the Commonwealth with the activities and attention that a facility like this will bring to the City and the Commonwealth of Virginia as a whole. August 28, 2012 -5- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62I28 (Continued) The Project adds to the assets in the Resort Area, located within a 15 minute walk to the Ocean Front, witlz excellent proximity to the Interstate and good transportation networks. The site also has the benefit of being a part of the Resort Area SGA. The Resort Area SGA encourages the Ciry to look at becoming a"Year Round Resort" and stimulate the Resort Area with activities that can occur outside the traditional Summer months toprovide additional revenue and economic impact into the Resort Area. August 28, 2012 -6- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) A short video clip of Governor McDonnell's support was included in the presentation. The Timeline - In February 2011, at the request of City Council and the receipt of a previously unsolicitedproposal that was ultimately rejected by City Council, the Development Authority looked into the possibilities for the Ciry to be a"host ciry " for an Arena. HKS Worldwide Events was retained and the process began to look at what potentially could occur with the prospect of having a First Class Arena in our Market. The assessment stated our market is substantial and has an incredible opportunity. Phase 2 Jooked at the general site analysis, the Market Study and conducted a Public Opinion Poll and began research on current facilities in the market place. Outside consultations were added and public opinion data were analyzed. Phase 3 began with looking at site considerations and process internally a financial model in terms of what the Arena would look like, with or without a team. In March, they met with the NBA and the NHL who provided excellent guidance on what a market could look like, what an Arena would look like and what was the potential for teams interested in relocating. Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) has discussed their tournaments. Currently, the project is in Phase 4 and reviewing economic impact data, including the State economic impact. Dr. James V. Koch was retained and additional stiidies are being conducted at this time. August 28, 2012 -7- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) August 28, 2012 -S- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) Currently, Southeastern Virginia consists of 3-Million people with an Arena larger than 12, 000 seats and the only state of the art facility located in the Commonwealth is at the University of Virginia. "I'm happy for the Beach. I hope this works out. A majorsports team would benefit all of Hampton Roads." - Paul Fraim, Mayor, City of Norfolk "As the largesT metropolitan area without a professional sporis franchise, this could be a wonderful opporiuniiy for ihe Peninsula. This would be a team ihat all Virginians can embrace as their own. It is my hope that ourregion canjoin the elite status of other cities with a professional team:" - Chris Stuarf, Hampton Ci1y Council August 28, 2012 -9- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62I28 (Continued) Thcre is significant power and strength in Southeastern Virginia. This follows along with a lot of work that is being done with a number of leading business leaders to combine the strengths of the Richmond ancl Hampton Roads Arena to provide a Market in excess of 3-Million residents, along with ten (10) Fortune 500 Companies, which are ready to become corporate partners.

Seeing ihis type of enterfainment venue from the plane before ihey land would beg the immediate question, 'What is ihat?' We would answer, ihat is our entertainment venue built for the people of our city where we watch sporfs teams, band concerfs, rodeos, college sports and STIHL Timbersporis." -Fred Whyte, President STIHL Inc. a 5- 7zo&, August 28, 2012 -12- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) The City has a proven track record in the Farm Bureau Live Amphitheater. This facility has 16 years of success and a"financial wind fall " for the City. Since 1986, there have been more than 400 concerts with more than $4-Million tickets sold. The Amphitheater was nominated "Yenue of the Year" by the Academy of Country Music. The City is fortunate to have Live Nation as a partner in this endeavor. This Project provides the opportunity to capture major events years round. It is important to note most Mzcsical Artists tour during the summer months where outdoor venues can be utilized or design their tour to be indoor venues usually duYing the "non-summer" nzonths. In essence, the City could host conceYts yeaY `round and no longer be bypassed during the "non-summer" months. Many opportunities have bypassed Virginia Beach. There are a number of athletic events which could occur that are outside any sports franchise with various college conference championships and a number of NCAA tournaments. August 28, 2012 -13- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) The idea of this site being located adjacent to the Convention Center provides potential event synergy with additional opportunities for bookings, unique meetings and assemblies. The potential is endless, adcling and expanding upon the already fairly successful visitor delegate count the City enjoys, second only to the Virginia Aquarium. Again, the reaction from the athletic/sporting world has been positive. John Swofford, ACC Commissioner, has stated Virginia Beach would be an attractive location to host a conference championship tournament. "The ACC's footpriniwillsoon stretch across nine contiguous states and as we look ahead we certainly welcome quality venues to consideras host locationsfor our conference championships and tournaments. We have twoconference members- Universityof Virginiaand Virginia Tech - that are located within the statewhich would make Virginia Beach an attractive location." - John Swofford, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Commissioner rc O d ? ACCG ? August 28, 2012 -14- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) Mr. Harris introduced Peter Lukko - President/COO, Comcast-Spectacor a joint venture formed in 1967. Mr. Lukko will be sharing some of their thoughts about participating in this opportunity. Mayor Sessoms welcomed Mr. Lukko and expYessed his appreciation. Mr. Lukko expressed his appreciation to the City Council for the opportuniry to share in this presentation. Some months ago when approached about this Project, Comcast-Spectacor and Live Nation `jumped on it " for a couple of reasons: first, both companies do a tremendous amount of business in Hampton Roads and secondly, instinctively, I knew this was one of the largest underserved markets in North America. 3- Million people without an 18 to 20-Thousand seat Arena and felt it was a perfect opportunity for our involvement. ? ?ig CcOt11CQSt i ? ? ?PECTACOC comcast. " 5PECAC0R August 28, 2012 -15- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) Mr. Lukko stated Comcast-SpectacoY is a joint venture of Spectacor, which is essentially Ed Snyder, a sports entrepreneur, and Comcast, the media giant. The Company was founded in 1967, when Ed Snyder mortgaged his home, got an advance on fruit service commissions and engaged partneYS to buy a team in the National Hockey League in Philadelphia, which did not have even one hockey rink. Mr. Snyder saw an opportunity and founded the team which began in 1967. Shortly after, in 1971, the Spectrum Arena, a public/private partnership, went bankrupt. Mr. Snyder took the Spectrum out of bankruptcy, paying 100 Cents on the Dollar. Mr. Lukko has been with the Company since 1985. The company's roots have been in sports and entertainment since the 1960's. In 1996, Comcast approached the company for a partnership. Comcast's had an opportunity to buy the Philadelphia 76ers, combine that team with Spectrum, the Philadelphia Flyers and start a sports network; Comcast-Sportsnet. Today, the business has over $4-Billion in Revenue. August 28, 2012 -16- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) Specifically, Comcast Spectacor can help Virginia Beach with this Project as they are the owner of various other entities. The Company owns Philadelphia Flyers and Mr. Lukko sits on the Board of Governors of the National Hockey League. Until a year ago, the Company owned the Philadelphia 76ers ancl Mr. Lukko was a member of that Board when they owned the team. Comcast Sportsnet, the Networks, are important in that it gives the opportunity to promote events. Ovations is the food service cornpany that is owned by Comcast-Spectacor and provides food for arenas, stadiums, convention centers, etc. Presently, Ovations has four (4) accounts in this Region 's market place in sports and entertainment venues - Harbor PaYk, Ted Constant Convocation Center, Scope, etc. Front Row Marketing Services is another important company owned by Comcast. When a major arena is built, a big revenue source to make it work is the naming rights and the selling of box seats, club seats and tickets. More information will be expanded on Global Spectrum as this is the entity that would manage the Arena. Paciolan is a"ticketing" business, mostly in colleges with development and data collection is the expertise. Xfinity Live is a new division of the Company in Philadelphia which pened a 60,000 square foot development - bars, restaurants, NBC Sports Arena - essentially a complex for people to come and enjoy themselves around a sporting event, concert or family show. It has been very successful in the initial stages. August 28, 2012 -17- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) Global Spectrum is the division that would be the entity to manage the Arena in the City. Below is the company's "numbers ". Currently, Global Spectrum manages Constant Convocation Center, Sandler Center for the Performing Arts and Farm Bureau Live at Virginia Beach. August 28, 2012 -18- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) Below is the initial pYOposal for the Virginia Beach Arena: • Comcast-Spectacor/Global Spectrum will ledse, operate and program arena (concerts, athletic events, familyshows, corporate events, communityprograms) • Comcast-Spectacor /Global Spectrum will commit to pursuing a professional sporfs franchise for the arena • 25 year lease term • Guaranteed annual lease payment • More than 200 events annually • 1.4 million visffors annually • Guarantee annual operating costs comcast. ?- sPECrACaR Mr. Lukko thanked City Council for having him and stated he looks forward to working with the City.

August 28, 2012 -19- CITY COUNCIL BRIEFING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION ITEM #62128 (Continued) Mr. Harris thanked Mr. Lukko for his presentation and his confidence in the Market Place. The Virginia Beach Development Authority would like to negotiate a"Term Sheet" and present same to City Council at the appropriate time that will ensure all City financial obligations are met as follows.• VBDA will negotiate and present to City Council a term sheet that will ensure all City financial obligations are met in accordance with these principles. The Virginia Beach Arena will: - Generate sufficient revenues to meet all debt service obligations as well as generate excess revenue to the City A Substantially increase existing City revenue streams (ie, ?

This will give the City an opportunity to attract events not currently in the market place to come into the community. The companies are providing guarantees with lease revenue and operational costs. This will also help to full- fill the City 's Vision of being a` year round destination resort ", bringing a substantial regional and state wide attraction, giving the City national and international exposure.

More specific issues in the Report are the span of control of Child Welfare Director; lack of attention to morale issues in Child Protective Services(CPS); lack of management level support for State initiatives and networking; lack of communication from department to department; and, concerns about supervisory competence and consistency. Another concern is the State has been implementing the Children Services System Transformation (CSST) and the City is not on board with CSST showing poor permanency outcomes. Some specifics in the three (3) major Child Welfare programs: backlog of incomplete referrals and low morale in CPS; too many kids staying too long in Foster Care; and, concerns about how Resource Families are trained and utilized.

It is being recommended for action due to its condition, the responsible party's ongoing failure to bring the property into compliance, and to restore the structure to a habitable condition. Under the process required by the City Code, City Council must hold a public hearing, determine that the property meets the definition of "blighted property" and that the owner/responsible party has failed to remedy or present a plan sufficient to remedy the blight. "Blighted property" is defined as follows under city code 16-39(b): [A]ny individual commercial, industrial, or residential structure or improvement that endangers the public's health, safety, or welfare because the structure or improvement upon the property is dilapidated, deteriorated, or violates minimum health and safety standards, or any structure or improvement previously designated as blighted under the process for determination of "spot blight". The principal structure on the property, a single-family dwelling, was determined to be unsafe on 1/18/2012, as it was vacant and open. The Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation (DHNP) / Code Enforcement Division has issued 14 notices of violation, including 7 property maintenance notices and 5 notices for exterior code violations. Court action was initiated against the former property owner in 2011; however, this proved to be ineffective and the case was closed. The initial notice in the spot blight process was issued on 5/30/2012, notifying the property owner and the mortgage company that they must present a plan to correct blighted conditions within thirty days. To date, there has been no response to this notice. A copy of this report, the proposed ordinance, and the Council agenda request was mailed to the property owner and the mortgage company on August 16, 2012, and revised copies were mailed by Express Mail on August 21, 2012. r ?s, ...?. ?-,.. _N1? ' aJOr,ISSLJeS Plan for Use of Propertv - Should City Council determine that this the single-family dwelling on the property meets the necessary criteria under the Spot Blight Ordinance, the recommended action is demolition of the dwelling. Recommended Action - Demolition: In lieu of acquisition, under Section 16-39 (i) City Council may declare the property to be blighted and to constitute a nuisance, and have the structure removed. The actual demolition costs to the city would be charged to the property owner of record and a lien placed against the property to ensure funds are recovered. CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH Spot Blight Report - 5405 Keystone Place Page 4 Results: The blighted structure will be removed, and the property will remain under ownership of the current owner. Considerations: The cost of demolition will be placed as a lien against the property. There is a risk that this cost may not be recoverable in the near term. Staff will coordinate with the City Treasurer to assume collection of funds. Post Demolition Results Ownership Structure Occupancy Cost and Outcome Condition Issues Remains Private Demolished Vacant lot Mid-range cost option; costs likely to be recovered COStS Item Amount Explanation Advertising, legal, appraisal and holdin costs $ 2,000 Title search, appraisal, etc. Estimated demolition cost $10,000 Contingency for unanticipated ex enses $ 2,500 Additional abatement and demolition assessment costs Total Pro'ect Cost $14,500 Requested Action It is requested that City Council make the following determinations: 1. That the principal structure (single-familv dwelling) located on the propertv is bli hted. The property meets the criteria for blight as outlined in the Spot Blight Ordinance. • This property has been vacant for over 1 year • This property has been the subject of 14 code enforcement notices in the past 1.5 years • The structure is in poor condition. Code violations remain on the exterior and the interior has been completely destroyed. The property is an eyesore to the neighborhood. • The property owner owes $1130 in liens to the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation for contractual nuisance abatement processes. CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH Spot Blight Report - 5405 Keystone Place Page 5 2. That the owner or responsible party has failed to cure the bliqht and has failed to present a reasonable plan to do so. A notice of the Spot Blight Abatement was issued on 5/30/2012. The notice stated that they must present a plan to correct blighted conditions within thirty days. To date, no plan has been presented. Demolitien: 1. The city would issue an RFP to have the structure demolished and place a lien against the property to recover the cost of the demolition. 2. The current property owner would retain ownership of the property and the city will attempt recover all costs associated with the demolition through collection efforts by the City Treasurer or at which time the property is sold. Recommendation: Authorize staff to carry out demolition action. Authorize the transfer of $14,500 to DHNP operating budget to carry this out.

The SGA is aenerallv bound bv a diverse muc of retail located north of Laskin Road, Lvnnhaven Strategic Growth Area to the west, Linkhom Bav to the east and Potters Road to Fge the south. , Though this area is located within a high noise zone, it is a good candidate for redevelopment and reinvestment because of its existing commercial strength and its proximity to the Oceanfront Resort Area, NAS Oceana, and I- 264 interchange. The area south of I-264 is subject to greater AtCUZ restrictions due to the presence of accident potential zones and the clear zone.

HILLTOP RECOMMENDATIONS The Hilltop SGA Master Plan available in the online document librarv at www.VBgov.com/planning, transitions under-utilized commercial propertv into a transit-readv retail and office mixed-use urban environment builds a network of streets to improve traffic flow, qrovides trails and sidewalks for pedestrians and cvclists matches the aualitv of local businesses with an eauallv memorable built setting and provides additional transit connections. The Hilltoq SGA Master Plan represents a unique opportunitv to enhance an established retail market area with a distinct identity within the Citv. With improved streets will be sidewalks, crosswalks, landscaping and lijzhting that will transform Hilltoq into a walkable district. Over time, existing retail buildings will be replaced with new retail buildings built facing the new streets. The suburban pattern of highwavs lined with parking lots and strip centers will graduallv sive wav to a new qedestrian friendlv mixed-use district. The following summarizes the kev recommendation of the Hilltop SGA Master Plan: ;o Define a clear hierarchy of streets to establish a structure of development blocks and reconnect places. Major street improvements should support urban, walkable environments that are positioned to service growth. 'v Build upon the existing natural resources to expand access to pubiic open space through an interconnected system of parks and trails. ? Evaluate repositioning the proposed transit station to the core of the Hilltop SGA with street and trail improvements to promote transit-oriented economic development. 'v Incorporate an Urban Tree Canopy Program within the Hilltop SGA to create a pedestrian environment and aid stormwater management. ie Encourage redevelopment of obsolete commercial structures with new buildings placed according to new urban planning standards for the district. -W .J Ir ..+s sM..uI.d .,rL.Ge ell ..Ia., ed miti ..f I,CVM .. ..Ii*.. .ar..il .,ffi..e ?.

July 11, 2012 CONSENT An Ordinance to Amend Sections 111, 203, 901, and 1521, Repeal Section 233.3, and Add Section 239.03 of the City Zoning Ordinance, defining the term "Open- Air Markets," deleting the term "Flea Markets," adding Open-Air Markets and deleting Flea Markets as Conditional Uses in the B-2, B-3, B-3A, B-4, B-4C, and RT-3 Districts and establishing off-street parking requirements for Open-Air Markets. SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT With the advent of the Internet and innovative means of selling and buying products that in the past were typically sold and bought at Flea Market events, the concept of a Flea Market has expanded into products and services that were not common at Flea Market events of the past. Additionally, the increase in awareness of the importance of fresh, naturally grown food products, as well as the increased desire of residents to support those who provide `Green' products and services, has further altered the character of the traditional Flea Market. Reflective of these changes, the proposed amendments substitute the term "Open- Air Market" for the currently used term "Flea Market." The definitions are substantively identical, but the definition of "Open-Air Market" clarifies that sales of produce of other farm products are included within the definition.
