CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
CAVALIER SUB -COMMITTEE REPORT
ITEM #62686(Continued)
Mr. Rawls advised the Task Force established the following two goals:
To seek the historic preservation of the
Cavalier Hotel and protection of its main
viewsheds from encroaching development.
• To seek to have the. Cavalier Hotel placed on
the Virginia Historical Landmarks Register.
The Cavalier Hotel consists of three parcels: (1) the largest parcel is where the hotel is actually located;
(2) a smaller parcel located beside the largest parcel where a parking lot and tennis court are currently
located and (3) the parcel that is across the street on the Oceanfront. The Task Force realized early
there is nothing the City could do to stop a developer from purchasing the property and demolishing the
hotel; however, they concluded the City should offer incentives to a developer that is willing to preserve
the integrity of the property.

and historic preservation options e three
parcels.
• The RT -1 District zoning regulatios` mituse"of

CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
CAVALIER SUB -COMMITTEE REPORT
ITEM #62686(Continued)
Zoning Considerations
• Based on inquiries regarding RT -1 zoning
from potential bidders, City Manager
provides further information to CBRE
(Broker) via letter dated March 29.
• Additional information clarifies the number
and mix of `lodging units' and `dwelling' units'
that can be developed on the two RT 1
parcels.
7
Mr. White advised he defined the definition of "Hotel ":
Zoning Considerations
• Hotel - A building or group of attached or`
detached buildings containing dwelling or°
lodging units in which 50 percent or more of
the units are lodging units
• Up to 15% of the total; allowable density may be
`dwelling units'; however
those units, as part of a hotel, must be functionally
integrated with all of the other` components of the
hotel (entire site considered a hotel - site cannot
be subdivided for fee -simple lots), and F
— The number of dwelling units built at any onetime
must include an equal number of lodging units.

CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
CAVALIER SUB -COMMITTEE REPORT
ITEM #62686(Continued)
Mr. White advised that Zoning, under the Oceanfront Resort District, would provide greater protection
for adjoining residential areas and greater flexibility regarding site layout, land use and building form.
Zoning Considerations
Any development type other than
hotel/motel will require a rezoning of the Site
to Oceanfront Resort (OR) District:
- OR District is designed to implement the
recommendations of the Resort Area SGA:
- OR District provides. greater protections for
adjoining residential"areas (Le., , buffers, lighting,
setbacks, uses), and
- OR District provides greater flexibility in regard
site layout, land uses, and building form.

ITEM #62687(Continued)
What Can Be Cut
• The Budget Control Act of 2011 prohibits cutting
active duty military personnel (we have about
95,000 in Hampton Roads), but civilian DOD
personnel are fair game (we have 39,000).
• FY 2013 is almost one-half over; it will be difficult
to cut $43+ b. in six+ months.
• Many other areas of federal spending (social
security payments, many things in the DOJ, etc.)
are exempt from cuts.
• This means that the remaining categories will
really feel the axe.
• Hence, civilian DOD employees (14 furlough days
through Oct. 1st) and ship construction, repair and
maintenance are especially vulnerable.

• Ship repair and maintenance delayed or cancelled
(Theodore Roosevelt, refueling; Abraham Lincoln,
3 -year overhaul at Newport New Shipyard)
• Diminished procurement
• Fewer ship deployments (Harry S Truman)
• Longer deployments
• Cancelled contracts

What is Virginia Beach's Share
of the Cuts I've Outlined?
• Virginia Beach's share of the decline in
income (and this is the critical measure) will
be about one-third of the total and probably
will be larger than the losses experienced by
Norfolk.
• Norfolk hosts lots of jobs, but doesn't receive
the income from those jobs. Virginia Beach
often does.
Virginia Beach is made up of 53% of Citizens that work and live in the City:

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE and
SEQUESTRATION IMPACTS
ITEM #62687(Continued)
Virginia Beach's Vulnerabilities
• In the short term, Virginia Beach will suffer from DOD
spending cuts, but these cuts, while difficult, will be
tolerable.
• In the longer term, however, Virginia Beach is
susceptible to significant reductions in DOD spending
because: (1) the repositioning of aircraft carriers; (2)
the possible de -emphasis of aircraft carriers in our
nation's future military strategy; and, (3) the spiraling
cost of major weapons systems. (1), (2) and (3) point
to the loss of air wings at Oceana Naval Air Station.
Dr. Koch advised the Country could not sustain the increase in weapons costs and fewer "major assets"
will mean fewer active duty military and civilian personnel:
Some Perspective on Rising Weapons Costs
• In 1945, a new P-51 Mustang cost $40,000. In
2010, a new F/A-18 Super Hornet deployed at
Oceana cost $66,000,000.
• Thus, the cost of a front line fighter aircraft has
risen an average of 14.4% annually, 65 years in a
row.
• The bottom line is that the DOD will not be able to
afford to buy as many aircraft in the future (nor as
many aircraft carriers and submarines).
• Fewer "major assets" likely will mean fewer active
duty military and civilian personnel.

Below are the Commonwealth's Attorney significant issues:
Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney
Significant Issues
➢ Handled over 17,500 criminal charges last fiscal year
➢ Due to the increase in the use of forensic science and technology, cases are
becoming more complex, requiring more time for advanced case
preparation
➢ Due to ever-changing case law, attorneys are spending more time reading
and researching to be thoroughly prepared for court
➢ As a result of the DUI laws becoming more complicated our attorneys are
assisting in all 2nd offense DUI cases and many 1' offense DUI cases (as well
as other special assist cases)
➢ The office prosecuted:
➢ 4,900 felony property crimes committed by 1,480 defendants
➢ Over 2,040 various violent crimes committed by 570 defendants

Mr. Bryant advised the City Treasurer's Office was recently awarded the contract to collect Delinquent
Fines and Costs, which is expected to generate an additional $1 -MILLION in Revenue to the City. The
Treasurer's Office can send a "Treasurer Lien" and avoid having to file suit in the General District
Court to proceed in collections against individuals:

$139,000 or 5.8% for FY 14 and will increase another $33,080 in FY
15.
D. A full time receptionist will ensure continuity in this crucial position,
as this employee is the first encounter for all citizens that contact
our office. Currently we fund this position with vacancy savings
through contracted manpower which results in frequent turnover.
The additional cost is less than $10,000 annually.
> Departmental health insurance increased by $195,000 representing
nearly 2% of the overall increase of 2.5%.

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 identify 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.

Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank.
Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial') purchased Resource Bank. On
March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a
Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a
"personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton
Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal
knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting
of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential
conflict. If during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the
appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones
regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the
record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED her husband is a principal in the accounting firm of Dixon
Hughes Goodman and is directly and indirectly involved in many of Dixon Hughes Goodman 's
transactions. However, due to the size of Dixon Hughes Goodman and the volume of transactions it
handles in any given year, Dixon Hughes Goodman has an interest in numerous matters in which her
husband is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
Council Lady Wilson 's letter of January 10, 2012, is hereby made a part of the record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Prudential
Decker Realty. Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation, the size of Prudential, and the
volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Prudential has an interest in numerous matters in
which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
Council Lady Wilson's letter of January 27, 2004, is hereby made a part of the record.

7
8
9 WHEREAS, the Southeastern Public Service Authority ("SPSA") was created by
10 concurrent resolution of the Cities of Chesapeake, Franklin, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and
11 Virginia Beach and the Counties of Isle of Wight and Southampton (the "member localities") in
12 1976, and
13
14 WHEREAS, between 1983 and 1984, Virginia Beach and the other member localities

18
19 WHEREAS, all of the Use and Support Agreements will expire on January 24, 2018;
20 and

24 management issues following the expiration of the Use and Support Agreements; and

31 of expiration of the current Use and Support Agreements; and

33 WHEREAS, SPSA provides a reliable, effective and environmentally sound operation
34 for the disposal of municipal solid waste; and

41 technical committee was established to review and address numerous policy and operational

62 private entity customers, are also not uniform; and
63
64 WHEREAS, under current statutory provisions, a member locality may withdraw from
65 SPSA, provided that all written obligations to SPSA incurred by such locality while it was a
66 member of SPSA shall remain in full force and effect following the locality's withdrawal; and

77 leasing, and use of the transfer stations operated by SPSA; and
78
2
79 WHEREAS, in the event of SPSA's dissolution, its assets are to be distributed in
80 accordance with applicable provisions of the Act, but that the current Use and Support
81 Agreement between SPSA and the City of Suffolk provides that the Regional Landfill site shall
82 be conveyed to the City of Suffolk upon permanent completion of the operation of the Landfill
83 by SPSA for the disposal of solid waste; and

110
111 3. After January 24, 2018, SPSA may be comprised of Divisions, with the
112 divisional membership based upon the method of solid waste disposal employed
113 by the member localities, which impacts the establishment of a fair and
114 reasonable tipping fee that is uniform within each division;
115
116 4. If SPSA is comprised of divisions, when an issue to be decided affects the
117 member localities of only one Division, only the representatives of the member

124 5. Members shall pay equal fees for similar services, and fees for non-member
125 customers will be equal to or higher than those of member localities for such
126 services;
127
128 6. A member locality will have the right to withdraw from the Post -2018 SPSA
129 organization and terminate its Use and Support Agreement or other instrument
130 binding it to SPSA, provided it satisfies its written obligations in accordance with
131 applicable statues;
132
133 7. Based on a thorough review of the alternatives, the SPSA Board of Directors will
134 determine by majority vote the fiscally and environmentally best disposal method
135 for the waste it receives;
136
137 8. In a future Memorandum of Understanding entered into by the member localities
138 prior to the execution of a binding Use and Support Agreement, the member
139 localities will agree on a method of determining the percentage and types of solid
140 waste to be delivered to SPSA;
141
142 9. SPSA will seek a comprehensive conditional use permit allowing the full
143 expansion of the Regional Landfill and determine the financial feasibility of that
144 expansion prior to the execution of new Use and Support Agreements;
145
146 10. Ownership of the all transfer stations will become or remain, as the case may be,
147 that of the locality in which the property is located;
148
149 11. Post -2018 SPSA long term debt will be restricted to capitalization costs
150 associated with the Regional Landfill, and a maximum of Five Million Dollars per
151 member as contributory financing for the construction of new, relocated,
152 revitalized or expanded existing transfer stations within the member localities,
153 and will be in conformity with the provisions of Virginia Code Section 15.2-
154 5102.1(8) provided that such payments to a member shall be approved by the
155 Board of Directors after presentation of information sufficient to support the need
156 for such new, relocated, renovated or expanded transfer station;
157
4
158 12. An annual business expense will be created to serve as a host fee for the City of
159 Suffolk, with such expense to be allocated within the tipping fee rates established
160 for all member localities;
161
162 13. SPSA will have the authority to provide, to the residents and businesses located
163 in the City of Suffolk, other solid waste disposal services in addition to municipal
164 solid waste disposal if the provision of such other services is permitted by law,
165 financially feasible and appropriate contracts are entered into for such services
166 and the cost allocated to users of that service; and
167
168 14. The use of the Virginia Beach landfill for municipal solid waste disposal will only
169 occur during emergency conditions such as, but not limited to, natural disasters.
170
171 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA
172 BEACH:
173
174 That the City of Virginia Beach will commit to remaining in SPSA upon the expiration of
175 the current Use and Support Agreement, with all assets except the transfer stations remaining

178 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA
179 BEACH:
180
181 That the City Manager is directed to undertake all necessary actions to effectuate the
182 provisions of this Resolution, with a view toward the continued existence of SPSA as the

THE CAVALIER HOTEL
.1201 A tAN1IC AV1N )L
VIRGINIA UEACFi, vIR(H Ili
PPO`rRTUIti1Y OVERVIEW
CBRE Hotels and DJM Realty have been retained as exclusive brokers
for Charles R. Goldstein, in his capacity as Receiver for The Disthene
Group, Inc., and its subsidiaries for the sale of the historic and iconic
Cavalier Hotel on the Oceanfront of Virginia Beach, Virginia. The
complex consists of the original seven -story 115 -room Cavalier on the
Hill, the 282 -room Oceanfront Hotel, an employee housing building
(currently used for storage), a single family residence and a freestanding
commercial building. The complex straddles the junction of Atlantic
Avenue and Pacific Avenue. It is the northern gateway to the resort strip
of Virginia Beach. The Cavalier property has a total area of 21.2 acres.
This includes three parcels: The Oceanfront Hotel which is situated on
6.151 acres and has direct ocean frontage of approximately 568 feet;
the Cavalier on the Hill encompassing 12.5 acres; and the Tennis Court/
Church Lot parcel which encompasses 2.549 acres. The complex is
being offered unencumbered by brand, debt or management contract
and can be purchased as individual parcels or in its entirety.

The historic Cavalier on the Hill was built in 1927 and contains 115 rooms, 17,600 SF of
meeting and function space, and an indoor pool. The hotel sits atop the highest point at the
oceanfront at approximately 30 feet in elevation. The land area surrounding the hotel runs
from Pacific Avenue back to Holly Road. It has approximately 1,026 frontage feet on Pacific
Avenue and 664.19 frontage feet on Holly Road.
The Oceanfront Hotel opened in 1973 and contains 282 rooms, 32,878 SF of meeting and
function space, a fitness center, outdoor pool and both below -grade and surface parking. This
site has one of the longest frontages on the oceanfront in the entire resort strip.
These hotels sit at the most northern and desirable end of the resort strip. The City of Virginia
Beach would be very supportive of a master plan redevelopment of the entire site. The size and
location of this complex provides a purchaser the unique opportunity to redevelop the site into
a very special destination. It is only confined by limitations of a purchaser's imagination.
The current zoning is Oceanfront Resort for the Oceanfront Hotel, and RT -1 for the Cavalier on
the Hill and its surrounding land. The Oceanfront Resort zoning is fora, based and allows a
high degree of flexibility. There is no density limitation. RT -1 zoning allows the development
of approximately 3,600 hotel rooms, which should offer significant trade-off for any rezoning
for other uses. Both parcels have a height limitation of approximately 200 feet, but new
development requires approval of the Federal Aviation Administration due to its radar coverage.
There is limited new supply in this market. A 168 -room Hilton Garden Inn is under construction
on the oceanfront at 34th Street and Atlantic Avenue. The City of Virginia Beach has been
promoting a Conference Center hotel to be developed adjacent to their 525,125 SF convention
center, but as of now they have not chosen a developer.

Known as 'America's First Region", the Virginia Beach MSA includes the independent cities of Chesapeake, Hampton,
Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk, as well as other smaller cities, counties and towns of Hampton
Roads. Virginia Beach is the most populous city in Virginia, and the 41st largest city in the United States with a
population of 437,994 according to the 2010 Census. The area is situated near the middle of the Eastern seaboard,
providing businesses access to more than two-thirds of the US population within a 750 -mile radius. This region's
strategic mid-Atlantic location, relatively low-cost business environment, and educated workforce have contributed
to a diversified economy.
Virginia Beach has a strategic central location, only 110 miles southeast of Richmond, the state capitol, 200 miles
south of Washington, DC and 250 miles south of Philadelphia. The Virginia Beach region is easily accessible by
its interstate system. Interstate 264 extends west from the oceanfront, and intersects with Interstate 64 on the east
side of Norfolk. Interstate 64 is the major east/west interstate connecting the East Coast to the Mississippi River
corridor. Additionally, Norfolk International Airport handled more than 3.1 million passengers in 2012, placing it
in the top 15% of airports nationwide in number of passengers served annually. The airport is currently served by
American, Continental, Delta, Southwest, United Express and US Airways. Nearly 100 nonstop flights depart daily
to destinations including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Orlando and Washington, D.C.
The resort city is home to 38 miles of beaches, 79 miles of scenic waterways and a three-mile boardwalk. Virginia
Beach has attracted over five million visitors with over S1.0 billion in tourism expenditures between 2008 and 201 1 .
Percen
RevPAR Change
LODGING MARKET
The Virginia Beach hotel market performed well from 2006 through 2011. A sample set of competitive full-
service and select -service properties experienced only modest single digit declines in RevPAR during the recent
US financial crisis according to Smith Travel Research (STR) data. Additionally, a full recovery is underway as
evidenced by RevPAR growth of nearly six percent in 2012 for the Norfolk -Virginia Beach tract according to STR.
• This remarkable trend is attributed, in part, to the market's balance of lodging supply and demand. In fact, the
141 -room Hampton Inn, which opened in 2009, is the most recent hotel to open in the market.
• Hotels in the market also benefit from a diverse local
economy that includes the following sectors:
• Tourism - the area's coastal location attracts
hundreds of thousands of visitors with its famous
three-mile boardwalk and 38 miles of beach front;
• Military - the presence of four military bases;
• Higher educational institutions - Virginia Beach is
home to the satellite campuses for Virginia Tech and
the University of Virginia;
• Companies - Businesses such as Sentara Medical
Group, SAIC, Stihl, and GEICO provide year-round
lodging demand.
• A recovery appears eminent with RevPAR growth
around the mid to upper single digit level for year to
date November 2012.

Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
April 9, 2013
Federally -Required Plans for the Housing Choice Voucher Program
The Virginia Beach Department of Housing & Neighborhood Preservation
(VBDHNP) operates the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP). This
program provides funding for rental subsidies to nearly 2,000 households in
Virginia Beach and, in some cases, in neighboring cities through the use of
cooperative agreements for project -based housing developments. The U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development funds this program and requires
grantees to create and adopt the following plans:

Voucher Program, VBDHNP is only required to submit a streamlined Annual
Agency Plan Update that does not contain the level of detail required in the past.

Executive Summary
2013 Housing Choice Voucher Plans — Annual Plan Update and
Administrative Plan Amendment
Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
April 9, 2013
However, the Annual Agency Plan Update does contain a summary of progress
in meeting the strategic goals as stated in the Five Year Plan.
At a meeting on January 30, 2013, the Plan Update was reviewed with the
Resident Advisory Board, which is comprised of participants in the Virginia Beach
Housing Choice Voucher program. On February 5, 2013, the Annual Pian
Update was made available to the public for the required 45 -day review period.
A public hearing was held on March 26, 2013, and all comments received have
been considered for inclusion in the final Plan Update.
The approved Annual Agency Plan Update and the two required certifications
must be electronically submitted to HUD not later than 75 days before the
beginning of the city's July 1, 2013 fiscal year. Therefore, the Annual Plan
Update is due on April 15, 2013.
Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative Plan:
Staff has developed the following revisions to the plan for 2013:
• Includes a change in the threshold amount for prosecuting fraud involving
unreported income. Failure to accurately report income results in
excessive rental subsidy payments. Persons determined to have willfully
underreported income may enter into a repayment agreement for a period
of up to 36 months. Amounts in excess of $2,400 will result in immediate
termination from the Housing Choice Voucher Program and referral to the
City Attorney for criminal prosecution.
• Includes a provision for family members to serve as live-in aides, provided
they meet all requirements consistent with HUD's definition of a live-in aid.
