Uhrin family vacation INVOCATION: Father Andrew Buchanan Galilee Episcopal Church PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED he is retired from Towne Bank (which has a corporate office located at 297 Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), and no longer has any involvement in Towne Bank's transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, Towne Bank 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 Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Town Realty, which is an affiliate of Towne Bank. 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 idents 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 January 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record. April 7, 2015 -60- 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 she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Town Realty ("Berkshire Hathaway"), which was formerly known as Prudential Towne Realty. Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Berkshire Hathaway 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.

The program provides funding for rental subsidies for over 1,900 households in Virginia Beach and in some cases in neighboring cities. Funding for the HCV program is from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In order to comply with all Federal requirements for this program, the city must establish policy and procedures to ensure consistency in program operation and adopt the following plans: Plan Name Summary Purpose and Status Content Five Year Provides long term guidance This plan was developed Agency Plan for the program and adopted by Council in 2015.

The administration plan and any revisions of the plan must be formally adopted by the City Council. This is required because Virginia Beach does not have a housing authority and, therefore no board of commissioners. The administrative plan states VBDHNP's policy on matters for which the VBDHNP has discretion to establish local policies. The plan must be in accordance with HUD regulations and requirements. The current administrative plan was approved by the Virginia Beach City Council on February 24, 2009 and subsequently submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The administrative plan is the key attachment to the HCV Five Year and Annual Agency Plans which are also submitted by the VBDHNP. CONTENTS OF THE PLAN 1 EXHIBIT A Executive Summary 2015 Housing Choice Voucher Plans — Five Year, Annual and Administrative Plans Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation April 7, 2015 Federal regulations 24 CFR 982.54 further stipulate the VBDHNP administrative plan must cover VBDHNP policies on the following subjects: • Selection and admission of applicants from the DHNP waiting list,including any DHNP admissions preferences,procedures for removing applicant names from the waiting list, and procedures for closing and reopening the DHNP waiting list(Chapter 4); • Issuing or denying vouchers, including DHNP policy on governing the voucher term and any extensions or suspensions of the voucher term. "Suspension"means stopping the clock on the term of a family's voucher after the family submits a request for"approval of the tenancy".

It consists of a mission statement, and a series of strategies to accomplish those goals. On a yearly basis, an agency is allowed to adjust the goals and/or strategies. Annual Agency Plan: This plan must be submitted annually. The plan as developed by staff contains the following information: - Eligibility, selection and admissions policies, including de-concentration and wait list procedures - Financial resources - Rent determination procedures - Operations and management - Grievance procedures - Self-sufficiency programs (FSS) - Civil rights certifications - Fiscal year audit - Housing needs for the area - Strategy for meeting housing needs 3 EXHIBIT A Executive Summary 2015 Housing Choice Voucher Plans — Five Year, Annual and Administrative Plans Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation April 7, 2015 - Progress in meeting mission and goals - Any significant amendment and substantial deviations or modifications - Any plan elements that have been revised since the last Annual Plan certification - A listing of the locations where key elements of the Plan can be found As mentioned,many of the above requirements are contained in documents that are maintained in the offices of DHNP. Those documents and their location can merely be cited rather than included in the plan. In addition to City Council adoption of the 2015 Five year and Agency Plan, there must also be approval of two HUD required certifications. A copy of those certifications is attached to this executive summary. The first certification is HUD Form 50077 which speaks to DHNP's compliance with various program and statutory requirements including Fair Housing, Title VI or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, ADA regulations and various other federal laws. The second certification is HUD Form 50077-s1 which states that the Housing Choice Voucher Agency Plan is consistent with the City's Consolidated Plan, and is previously cited. On March 2, 2015, the Annual Plan Update was made available to the public for the required 45-day review period. A public hearing was held on March 26, 2015, in conjunction with our Resident Advisory Board meeting. Their comments will be attached to the final HUD submittal along with any that are received from the general public. The approved Five Year and Annual Agency Plan along with the two required certifications must be electronically submitted to HUD no later than April 15, 2015, which is the required 75 days before the beginning of our Federal Fiscal Year of July 1, 2015. Administrative Plan: Staff has developed revisions to the 2015 plan. Primary differences between the prior plan and this proposed revision are as follows: • Numerous format, grammatical and organizational corrections. • Revisions to ensure the plan reflect actual day-to-day operations of VBDHNP's Rental Housing Division. • Includes a revision to the guidelines for waiting list removal. Families, who fail to respond within 10 work days of an inquiry for housing, will be removed from 4 EXHIBIT A Executive Summary 2015 Housing Choice Voucher Plans — Five Year, Annual and Administrative Plans Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation April 7, 2015 the waiting list. Families who are removed from the waiting list will be entitled to an informal review and reinstatement possibilities. • Includes a change in the threshold for interim income increase reporting. Families who experience an income increase of$500.00 a month or more are required to report the increase. • Revisions to the Owners Disapproval and Restriction Policy detailing the qualifiers for program restriction. • Insertion in the Owners Disapproval and Restriction Policy on program reinstatement practices. • Insertion of the word "currently"relative to preference points awarded for victims of domestic violence which allows the policy to address victims facing an immediate or imminent crisis. These proposed revisions were advertised and made available along with the Annual Plan as noted above. 5 PHA Certifications of Compliance U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development with PHA Plans and Related Office of Public and Indian Housing Expires 4/30/2011 Regulations PHA Certifications of Compliance with the PHA Plans and Related Regulations: Board Resolution to Accompany the PHA 5-Year and Annual PHA Plan Acting on behalf of the Board of Commissioners of the Public Housing Agency(PHA)listed below, as its Chairman or other authorized PHA official if there is no Board of Commissioners,I approve the submission of the_X_5-Year and/or_X Annual PHA Plan for the PHA fiscal year beginning 7/1/2015, hereinafter referred to as"the Plan", of which this document is a part and make the following certifications and agreements with the Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) in connection with the submission of the Plan and implementation thereof 1.

Apply for additional vouchers 2. Leverage private or public funds to create additional housing opportunities 3.Assist other housing organizations to obtain resources for housing development During the 2011 program year,VBDHNP partnered with Virginia Beach Community Development Corporation to provide 32 project based vouchers to support the development of Cedar Grove Apartments,the first affordable,permanent rental housing development for disabled and/or homeless military vets in Virginia Beach. Cedar Grove provides affordable and assessable housing with an array of support services. It consists of 28 one-bedroom units and 4 two-bedroom units, all fully furnished. 16 of the 32 units will be handicap assessable. Herons Landings, a 60 unit regional SRO development completed construction in December 2012. This project resulted from a partnership with several Hampton Roads housing agencies and Virginia Supportive Housing,who owns and manages the property. VBDHNP provides 8 project based vouchers to house homeless person in Virginia Beach. VBDHNP has conditionally awarded 76 project-based vouchers to four organizations responding to RFP's issued during the strategic period. As these organizations secure the necessary fmancing and complete all necessary requirements under HUD regulations,VBDHNP will execute HAP contracts to provide rental subsidies. VBDHNP continues to work closely with Hampton VA Medical Center to ensure that veteran families are provided needed housing assistance as expeditiously as possible under the HUD-VASH program which combines rental assistance and case management services for homeless veterans and their families. We will continue to apply for additional VASH program vouchers as funding opportunities become available. Goal: Improve the quality of assisted housing Objectives 1. Improve voucher management score: (SEMAP) 2. Increase customer satisfaction VBDHNP has continued to ensure the quality of assisted housing through on going,timely inspections of assisted housing units and enforcement of HCV housing quality standards and city property maintenance codes and ordinances. In addition,we work closely with housing developers receiving financial assistance through the project base voucher program and other local resources to encourage the use of state of the art green design and other building techniques such as energy efficient lighting and appliances, and high quality construction. In 2013 VBDHNP began quarterly housekeeping classes for program participants to provide them with tools and information on how to better maintain their assisted dw-11"g units, and to ensure that their units pass annual inspections on the first scheduled inspection visit. Strategic goals update Page 1 VBDHNP has taken strides to improve its owner restriction from the program process. VBDHNP wants to send a clear message that a quality housing stock an important component to the success of the program. Goal: Increase assisted housing choices Objectives 1. Provide voucher mobility counseling. 2. Conduct outreach efforts to potential voucher landlords All participants are advised of the portability features of the housing choice voucher program during the initial or annual briefings. We conduct owner outreach to encourage program participation. Using funds provided through the HOME grant program,we offer rental assistance via the Tenant Based Rental Assistance program, and Rental Security Deposit program. Additionally we use CBDG grant funds to provide relocation assistance to displaced families. Goal: Improve community quality of life and economic vitality Objectives 1. Continually work with Code Enforcement Division Staff in the DHNP to maintain and improve the livability conditions of all neighborhoods within the City. The Rental Housing Division of VDI-INP continues to work closely with the municipality's Code Enforcement Division to improve housing conditions of the neighborhoods of program participants.

Sessoms Mayor WDS/RRI -84- Item -VI-K.3 PLANNING ITEM#64739 The following individuals registered to speak: Eddie Bourdon, Attorney for the Applicant, advised this Application is a Review of the Virginia Beach Planning Commission's finding of a 9-1 Vote,for the dedication and construction of Lake Wright Boulevard, from Northampton Boulevard to Miller Store Road, as proposed and at his client's expense, and stated the project will be substantially in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. Scott Richardson, Simon Property Group, Bill Cashman, Traffic Engineer with URS and Randy Royal, Civil Engineer with Kimley-Horn accompanied the Attorney. This Application is the first of its kind for the area and is NOT a request for any change of zoning or to approve any general or specific land use. Simply put, this is a review and comparison of two alternative alignments for the dedication and construction, at no cost to the City, of a four-lane roadway to connect Northampton Boulevard to Miller Store Road in the Burton Station SGA. The SGA Plan recommends and envisions "substantial new growth", including 719,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant space, 424 new apartments for senior and single-family residences, 150 new hotel rooms and 7,800,000 square feet of new office, commercial and flex space for this area. Simon is prepared to construct either the extension of Wesleyan Drive or Lake Wright Boulevard in conjunction with its Premium Outlets development that will break ground later this year. The decision as to which of these two roads the City prefers to be constructed is yours, and Simon will abide by that decision. He provided letters of support from Burton Station residents, as well as a letter from the Virginia Beach Division of the Chamber of Commerce. The Northampton Boulevard business owners provided letters. Scott Richardson, 225 West Washington Street, with Simon, reiterated how excited Simon is to bring what they feel will be a regional amenity to the area. Simon is willing and excited to make a major investment into this market. Simon did review another site but felt this is where they wanted to be. We are more than happy to build Wesleyan Drive as it's shown on the Comprehensive Plan; however, Lake Wright is clearly a better option as it's the safest, most efficient way to move traffic through the corridor. In conclusion, Simon is 100% committed to building this outlet center utilizing either Lake Wright Boulevard or Wesleyan Drive. Tom Alberico, President of Norfolk Academy Board of Trustees, requested approval of the proposed road known as Lake Wright Boulevard. While Norfolk Academy has no public position for or against the development of an outlet mall or the Strategic Growth Area Comprehensive Plan, we remain strong advocates of safety. All technical traffic reports, including ours, indicate our City needs Lake Wright Boulevard to support not only the existing traffic demand but future traffic generated by proposed development projects. Dennis Manning, Headmaster of Norfolk Academy, spoke in SUPPORT. Mr. Manning advised Norfolk Academy is the 8th oldest school in the Country, the first in Virginia and has been an integral part of Hampton Roads for almost 300 years and has approximately 2,300 alumni living in South Hampton Roads, 1,300 of which in Virginia Beach and many of them very much involved in leadership in this community. Bruce F. Vaughan, 1584 Wesleyan Drive, Phone: 455-3309, Vice President of Operations of Virginia Wesleyan College. Doctor Greer sends his regrets that he couldn't be here to speak, himself. Virginia Wesleyan's position is the same as our neighbors, Norfolk Academy. The biggest concern is the safety of our constituents. We have about 1,800 faculty/staff/students on a daily basis,plus visitors well into the 2,000-plus range, and the movement of them and their safety is of our utmost concern. April 7, 2015 • -85- Item -VI-K.3 PLANNING ITEM#64739 (Continued) Janet Bhajir, owns and operates the Big Charlie's Truck Plaza on Northampton Boulevard, as well as the Magnuson Hotel on Northampton Boulevard and support the Lake Wright Boulevard. They are excited about the outlet project as it's going to help generate revenue for the area. Simon is planning on paying for it. Robert Garris, 5108 Booker Street, Phone: 509-1836, in SUPPORT. Mr. Garris owns property in the Burton Station area and requested the City not stop progress. Shep Miller, 5269 Cleveland Street, Phone: 286-7437, resides in Norfolk; however owns property and built three technology businesses in the City. Mr. Miller advised he attended the Planning Commission Meeting out offrustration after reading about this project in the paper. Mr. Miller feels it is time Hampton Roads work towards working together and find regional solutions to our problems. He feels this is a classic regional situation where the folks in Norfolk want to build this mall. He served on the Commonwealth Transportation Board representing this City and other urban areas in our Commonwealth. Damen Watson, part owner of a national liquor brand called Ty Ku and is a Virginia Beach native. Simon is willing to build this road themselves with no cost to the City. This ensures the safety of the children and everybody around it and it will bring easier revenue to this development. He is in favor for the Lake Wright project. He is a supporter of Virginia Beach and all for this project. Pamela Riddick, 5949 North Hampton Boulevard, Phone: 714-8553, spoke in OPPOSITION. Ms. Riddick is a lifetime resident of Virginia Beach and remembers when Northampton Boulevard was actually Waterworks Road. She advised her house was probably the first house out there. Her concern is Northampton Boulevard is already so congested. The only way of exiting her house is to enter Northampton Boulevard, go to the intersection and make a U-Turn. In the morning that is impossible. She recalls when there was no Norfolk Academy, and it was a dairy. Peggy Hagans and Ralph Saunders, with L&J Garden, spoke in OPPOSITION. Ms. Hagans is the Co-President of L&J Gardens Civic League and asked the Civic League Members in attendance stand. She advised they are in strong opposition of the Premium Outlet Mall, as well as the construction of a proposed access road, Lake Wright Boulevard. The proposed road will be located one tenth of a mile west of the neighborhood's main entrance. This project will affect the quality of life currently enjoyed by the residents of L and J Gardens and request City Council look favorably upon the neighborhood's expressed position with regard to the Outlet Mall. Ashley McCloud, 5508 Dell Park Avenue, Phone: 748-7084, spoke in OPPOSITION to the additional road. Wesleyan Pines has 905 homes which make up Campus East Community Association. Other surrounding subdivisions are Lawson Forrest, Wesleyan Chase, Cypress Point, L and J Gardens, Burton Station, Aragona Village, Diamond Lakes Estates, Sajo Farms, and Ridgely Manor; however, these are not the only residential neighborhoods that utilize the Northampton 64 corridor. Eastern Shore residents must utilize Northampton in order to access Interstate 64. While the City may not be able to prevent the Outlet Mall from being established on the Lake Wright Golf Course property, residents are asking that the City help decrease the impact this Outlet Mall traffic by discouraging an entrance off of Northampton, especially adding this additional road, Lake Wright Boulevard. April 7, 2015 -86- Item-VI-K3 PLANNING ITEM#64739 (Continued) Dane Blythe, 2004 Oak Leaf Lane, Phone: 537-1700, advised he lives in the Bayside District and travels throughout Tidewater for work and it is rare a day goes by he does not travel down Northampton Boulevard. He expressed concern, looking at the Lake Wright Boulevard, does not think it will reduce congestion either. The best solution would be if we could finally go ahead and improve the 1-64 interchange at Northampton, as well as over at Military Highway. It would help preserve the plans at Burton Station, that historically important part of the City, as well. Ralph Parham, 5509 Carol Anne Terrace, Phone: 319-0970, spoke in OPPOSTION stating the City spent a lot of time and money in creating the SGA and Norfolk was well aware of this and showed no consideration. The traffic on Northampton Boulevard is outrageous. Jeanne Evans-Cox, advised she is wearing two hats; one on behalf of the Central Business District Association representing over 150 companies, and as a citizen of this fine City. The CBDA went on record last year opposing this project because of the concern of our retailers related to the practice of national retailers offering two lines of distribution; a full-line retail store, and a factory outlet store. Ms. Evans-Cox advised in attendance tonight are stakeholders from the Pembroke Strategic Growth Area, Lou Haddad, CEO of Armada Hoffler, Fred Napolitano, and Richard Olivieri, partners of Pembroke Mall, Gerald Divaris of Divaris Real Estate and Josh Schulman, partner with Columbus Center Suites. City staff has established this project is incompatible with the City's Comprehensive Plan and she realizes City Council is not here tonight to vote on an Outlet Mall but to consider the construction, maintenance, and use of a road leading to the Outlet Mall. She expressed serious concerns relating to the impact of this development on local infrastructure, the lack of sales tax, and traffic to an already highly congested area. Lou Haddad, advised as a matter of policy, Armada Hoffler refrains from commenting on the projects of others. Rarely do we violate that edict and is doing so tonight only to clarify a few facts. It has been a mutual long-term goal at Town Center to attract high-end specialty retailers to the market. Gerald Divaris, Chairman and CEO of Divaris Real Estate and a founding member of the Central Business District Association advised his company manages and leases about 25 million square feet of space throughout the United States, a direct majority of which is retail. He has been in the business for over forty years. Regionalism is a priority for Hampton Roads, as it will benefit the entire region's population and all the cities that make up that region. The Lake Wright site is a regional site with regional implications, and as such it should be treated with a regional perspective. The approved plan envisioned for the site should be retained as a recreational open space plan that would enhance the Burton Station Village. Northampton Boulevard is a major artery for the region connecting the interstate with Shore Drive and the Eastern Shore. The proposed outlet mall will only add traffic to that road. It's incompatible and will severely increase congestion and adversely hamper through traffic at this intersection. The outlet mall will result in several issues, including the City not realizing one cent on tax revenues while burdening it with expenses. Secondly, it threatens the very nature of the region's desire to enhance and improve its retail offerings, as you heard from Lou Haddad. This is not a choice of one road over another. It's not a question of the roads. Ramsay Smith, 1259 Barn Brook Road, Phone: 748-7441, President of Pembroke Commercial Realty. He reiterated the CBDA's letter and ask that City Council deny this application. John Eason, 4733 Little John Road, Phone: 642-4844, is a Virginia Beach resident from the Haygood Point section of Virginia Beach in the Bayside District. He uses Northampton Boulevard quite often and is in OPPOSITION to this planned roadway and it's just too much congestion. The SGA for Burton Station was developed over a long period of time. He requested City Council deny this request. April 7, 2015 -87- Item -VI-K.3 PLANNING ITEM#64739 (Continued) Joshua Schulman, One Columbus Center, Suite 600, Phone: 687-8170, advised he is also wearing a couple of different hats tonight. Mr. Schulman is the President of the CBDA Young Professionals Group based in the Central Business District as well as a lawyer and managing partner of Columbus Executive Suites in Town Center. He stands in opposition. On his own behalf he feels it's important for you to know that he came to Virginia Beach in search of opportunity almost eight years ago. He moved from Detroit, Michigan, an area that you all know has suffered from some very difficult times. If it weren't for the Central Business District and Town Center, in particular, he, like so many of his colleagues, would not be here in the first place. Edna C. Riddel, 5868 Northampton Boulevard, Phone: 461-5388, advised she is a resident of Norfolk, and property owner of 5868 Northampton Boulevard, which is directly beside Lake Wright Golf Course. She is opposed to the Lake Wright Boulevard plan. She has been to many of the meetings, and heard everything that has been said. Christopher Brown, 1433 Sangaree Circle, Phone: 642-6709, advised he is a local realtor and spends many hours driving the roads in the area and see the impact driving has on the driving experience. Roads should alleviate congestion, not intensify it and this will only add to the congestion. Additionally, the Comprehensive Plan for Burton Station was developed with public input and he urged Council to reflect on who their constituents are and what would be in their best interest. An outlet mall will help Norfolk with tax revenue and low wage employment, but what is in it for Beach residents? David Redmond, 1453 Ewell Road, Phone: 215-5302, advised he is a 37 year resident of Thoroughgood in the Bayside District in Northern Virginia Beach and is thoroughly opposed to this road for a host of reasons and just as insistent that Council, our City's elected leaders, act to protect Virginia Beach's interests. This site for its intended use and open air shopping center is a demonstrably bad site, and there is no fixing it. Should this road ever happens, this shopping center would forever negatively affect Northampton Boulevard. Northampton Boulevard is today one of the most heavy traffic urban roadways in greater Hampton Roads. He knows City Council will be criticized and unfairly criticized for refusing to allow this road, but this is Virginia Beach, the largest city in Virginia and our interests matter. Steve Batton, spoke in OPPOSITION as this is not about land use. Virginia Beach neighborhoods spent a lot of time crafting the plans for Burton Station Keith Freeman, spoke in OPPOSITION. He lives off of Shore Drive and it takes him 45 minutes to get off of interstate onto Northampton Boulevard and this will only add to the traffic congestion. He is all for regionalism, but only if regionalism benefits all of us. The City clearly had a plan for Burton Station and Norfolk knew that. That was well publicized, yet their actions in not seeking our guidance and cooperation early on in the project does not speak well for regionalism. Eric Wray asked if the proposed road fits our Comprehensive Plan or the Burton Station Plan? He feels clearly it does neither. Gabriel Platt, 5925 Northampton Boulevard, Phone: 455-6837, resides in L&J Gardens and spoke in OPPOSITION. It's a safety matter for those of us that live in the neighborhood. April 7, 2015 -88- Item -VI-K.3 PLANNING ITEM#64739 (Continued) P.J. Padrick, 5613 Lawson Hall Road, Phone: 572-5639, spoke in OPPOSITION. She spoke for the Board of the Northwest Beach Partnership as the organization's President. The Northwest Beach Partnership is a coalition of 25 leagues in the Northwest Beach section of Virginia Beach, encompassing an excess of 12,000 homes. She is also President of the Lawson Forest Civic League. The City held many public hearings and the meetings with Burton Station residents and other surrounding groups of citizens and neighbors that were held over a protracted period of time before we arrived at a consensus. The citizens are a critical part of the final form of the Northampton Boulevard/Burton Station SGA Plan and no change of this magnitude should be accepted without extensive public input. Upon motion by Vice Mayor Jones, seconded by Councilman Wood, CITY COUNCIL OVERRULED THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS. THE ROADWAY IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE COMP AND SGA/BURTON STATION PLANS. THE CITY MANAGER SHALL NOT ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF LAKE WRIGHT BOULEVARD IN VIRGINIA BEACH: SIMON ACQUISITION II, LLC NORFOLK PREMIUM OUTLETS re the Comprehensive Plan Consistency Review for determination of whether general location or approximate location, character and extent of proposed roadway connection between Norfolk Premium Outlets and Northampton Boulevard is substantially in accord with the adopted Comprehensive Plan, or part thereof pursuant to Virginia Code Section 15.2-2232 DISTRICT 4—BAYSIDE Voting: 7-2 Council Members Voting Aye: Robert M Dyer, Barbara M.
