On December 9, 2014, City Council adopted a resolution (the "December 2014 Resolution") approving a non-binding term sheet for the construction and operation of the Arena. The December 2014 Resolution directed staff to work with USM to develop definitive project documents for the development of the Arena and to return to City Council for consideration of those documents. To define the respective rights and obligations of the parties, the City and USM developed the following "Arena Documents": 1. Development Agreement. 2. Arena Lease. 3. Revenue Fund Agreement. 4. Cost Participation Agreement. 5. Loan Cure Rights Agreement. 6. Cooperation Agreement. 7. Appendix. On December 8, 2015, City Council adopted a resolution authorizing execution of the Arena Documents and authorizing transfer of approximately 5.8 acres of City- owned land across from the Virginia Beach Convention Center (the "Arena Land") to the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the "Authority"). The Arena Land will be the site of the Arena and leased to USM pursuant to the Arena Lease. On December 15, 2015, the Authority adopted a resolution accepting the transfer of the Arena Land and agreeing to enter into the Arena Lease with USM before transferring the Arena Land back to the City. USM and the City executed the Development Agreement on December 11, 2015. As set forth in the Development Agreement, the remaining Arena Documents are to be executed at USM's construction loan closing. The executed Development Agreement and all the other Arena Documents remain on the City's website for public inspection. USM had proposed to finance the development of the Arena with a combination of approximately $170 million in debt and $40 million equity (the "Financing Plan"). The equity was to come from USM associates and the debt was proposed to come from an international bank. Satisfaction of this Financing Plan was a condition to the City's obligations in the Development Agreement. In June of 2016, USM approached the City with a proposal to modify the Financing Plan. Instead of the previously contemplated debt and equity mix, USM proposed to borrow all the funds necessary for the construction of the Arena from bonds to be issued by the Authority (the "Bond Structure"). These bonds would be placed by a domestic placement agent and administered by a domestic bond trustee. On July 12, 2016, City Council adopted a resolution supporting the Bond Structure with several conditions (the "Resolution of Support"). Since the adoption of the Resolution of Support, USM and the City have negotiated terms for the City's endorsement of the Bond Structure. Based on those negotiations, USM has agreed to the following with respect to the Bond Structure: (i) limit the amount of bond debt to $200 Million attributable to the construction contract for the Arena plus costs of financing and required reserves and escrows, (ii) cap the total amount of bond debt at $240 Million, (iii) restrict USM's ability to take a development fee or pay their incurred costs (other than related to the issuance of the bonds)from the bond proceeds, (iv) require the contribution of at least $7.5 Million in equity towards the cost of construction of the Arena, and (v) require USM's sources and uses of funds to be generally consistent with the proposed sources and uses provided to the City on September 26, 2016. USM has also requested to extend its deadlines for performance under the Development Agreement by sixty (60) days. The changes to the Financing Plan require an amendment to the Development Agreement (the "Amendment"), which is attached to the Resolution as Exhibit B, and also necessitate the re-authorization of the transfer of the Arena Land from the City to the Authority. • Considerations: The development of an arena has been a goal of both City Council and many members of the public for several years. As set forth in the Arena Documents, USM would be responsible for construction, maintenance and operation of the Arena on the Arena Land to be leased to USM for a term of sixty (60) years. As set forth in the Development Agreement, the Arena Land would be transferred to the Authority at the time the conditions for execution of the Arena Lease have been satisfied by all parties. The Authority would be the party executing the Arena Lease and would immediately transfer the Arena Land back to the City, subject to the Arena Lease. The conveyance of the Arena Land to the Authority is expressly conditioned on the Authority adopting a resolution agreeing to accept title to the Arena Land, execute the Arena Lease and immediately transfer the Arena Land back to the City. The Authority is expected to consider the adoption of such a resolution at in the coming days, but not later than October 18, 2016. USM has requested certain changes to the Financing Plan. A Summary of Amended Terms is attached to the Resolution as Exhibit C. If approved, the proposed Bond Structure would be reflected in the Amendment. Information: A public hearing on the transfer of the Arena Land was held on September 20, 2016 and a second public hearing has been duly advertised in The Virginian-Pilot for October 4, 2016. ■ Alternatives: Approve the Amendment as presented, approve with modifications, or do not approve the Amendment. • Attachments: Resolution, Amendment, Summary of Amended Terms, Location Map, Disclosure Statement Form Recommended Action: Approval Submitting D, • • • e• • • •ency: City Manage ;ib City Manager. 1 RESOLUTION (1) APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO 2 THE ARENA DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND (2) 3 RE-AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF THE ARENA 4 LAND TO THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH 5 DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 6 7 WHEREAS, on behalf of the City of Virginia Beach (the "City"), the City Manager 8 and City staff have engaged in extensive negotiations with representatives of United 9 States Management, LLC, and its affiliates (collectively "USM"), regarding the 10 development of an arena on City-owned land adjacent to the Virginia Beach Convention 11 Center (the "Arena"); 12 13 WHEREAS, the General Assembly has authorized the City to "enter into 14 contracts for the construction, development, maintenance, or operation of, and regulate 15 the use and operation of facilities developed under the provisions of [Chapter 59.1 of 16 Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia]," and an arena is explicitly defined as a "Facility" in § 17 15.2-5921 of the Code; 18 19 WHEREAS, on December 9, 2014, the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach 20 (the "City Council") approved a non-binding term sheet dated November 25, 2014 (the 21 "Arena Term Sheet"); 22 23 WHEREAS, subsequent to the approval of the Arena Term Sheet, the parties 24 negotiated the terms and conditions of the agreements necessary to document the 25 transaction contemplated by the Arena Term Sheet (collectively, the "Arena 26 Documents"); 27 28 WHEREAS, on December 8, 2015 the City Council approved a resolution (i) 29 authorizing the execution of the Arena Documents, and (ii) authorizing the transfer to 30 the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the "Authority") of approximately 5.8 31 acres of City-owned land across from the Virginia Beach Convention Center (the "Arena 32 Land") (the "2015 Approval Resolution"); 33 34 WHEREAS, the Arena Documents include a Development Agreement between 35 the City and USM setting forth the responsibilities of the parties prior to the 36 commencement of construction of the Arena; and the approved forms of all the other , 37 Arena Documents are attached to the Development Agreement as exhibits thereto; 38 39 WHEREAS, the Arena Documents also include a lease of real property to USM, 40 and, to accommodate the term required by USM, the City approved the transfer of the 41 Arena Land, as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto, to the Authority; 42 43 WHEREAS, the transfer of the Arena Land to the Authority is conditional on the 44 execution of the Arena Documents approved in the 2015 Approval Resolution; 45 WHEREAS, USM has approached the City with a request to amend the terms of 46 the Development Agreement to provide for a bond financing with a different mix of debt 47 and equity than previously contemplated; 48 49 WHEREAS, on July 12, 2016, City Council adopted a resolution supporting the 50 bond financing structure on the occurrence of certain conditions (the "Resolution of 51 Support"); 52 53 WHEREAS, the City and USM have negotiated an amendment to the 54 Development Agreement (the "Amendment") to reflect the conditions by which the City 55 will approve the bond financing, and to extend certain deadlines under the Development 56 Agreement; 57 58 WHEREAS, the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and a summary of 59 the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit C; 60 61 WHEREAS, the transfer of the Arena Land to the Authority was conditioned on 62 the satisfaction of the terms in the Development Agreement so the Amendment 63 necessitates the re-approval of that transfer; and 64 65 WHEREAS, the City Council desires to (1) approve the Amendment and 66 authorize the City Manager to execute the Arena Documents, as amended, subject to 67 the conditions set forth below and (2) approve the transfer of the Arena Land to the 68 Authority subject to the conditions set forth below. 69 70 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY 71 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 72 73 1.

The date upon which closing for the 2 Construction Loan (the "Construction Loan Closing") occurs is referred to as the "Construction Loan Closing Date". In order to qualify as the Construction Loan Commitment, a commitment must be duly authorized by the issuer in substantially the form and level of detail typically utilized by prospective lenders in similar major commercial transactions, including requirements for closing and conditions thereof, and must set forth the proposed principal amount, interest rate, amortization terms, collateral or guaranty requirements, maturity date of the loan and expiration date of the commitment." 3. A new Section 10.19 is hereby added to the Development Agreement to read as follows: "10.19 Assignments and Consent to Assignments.

POST LABOR DAY OPENING FOR SCHOOLS SPONSORED BY THE VIRGINI BEACH CITY COUNCIL Background Information: The total spending from the tourism industry in Virginia Beach for 2015 was $1.4 billion, stimulating 12,924 jobs. Starting schools in Virginia Beach and other localities in the Co imonwealth prior to Labor Day would have significant financial consequences on the tourism indus . in the long term. Beginning schools prior to Labor Day would effectively reduce the available vacation time in August by two weeks, which is prime family vacation time that cannot be replaced. If the V rginia Beach school system begins before Labor Day and other localities follow our lead, it will have a egative effect on the economic impact of the tourism industry cutting short the critical summer season hich will hurt small businesses, hardworking families and their employees. To a lesser extent, this will also have an impact on this industry by affecting the labor pool available prior to Labor Day. Request: The General Assembly is requested to maintain the existing legislation concern ng post Labor Day opening of schools. This allows all schools to open after Labor Day except those ;iven exemptions by the State Board of Education. . � 1 I .3 r 2. EXPANSION OF THE VIRGINIA HUMAN RIGHTS AC SPONSORED BY THE VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEMBER BOB DYER& VIRGINIA BEACH HUMA RIGHTS COMMISSION Background Information: The Virginia Human Rights Act (Va. Code § 2.2-3900 et seq.) currently prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, age, marital status, or disability. The City of Virginia Beach has prohibited the aforementioned since 1994. Request: The City requests that the General Assembly amend the Virginia Human Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. ,f(4t 4 3. MORATORIUM ON URANIUM MINING SPONSORED BY THE VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL Background Information: Virginia has had a moratorium on uranium mining since the 1980s. A large deposit of mineable ore has been found in Pittsylvania County. This deposit is upstream of the John H. Ke Reservoir, which provides 93% of the inflow to Lake Gaston, which provides water directly to irginia Beach, and indirectly to most of Southside Hampton Roads. A study prepared by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) indicates that uranium tailings disposal cells represent 1 ong-term risks for contamination, that limited data exist to confirm the long-term effectiveness of thos- disposal cells, and that extreme natural events combined with human errors have the potential to le.d to the release of contaminants. The NAS study concludes that Virginia has no experience with uran urn mining, that the federal government has little or no experience with wet climates and extreme prec pitation events, and that there are gaps in legal and regulatory coverage for uranium mining and 'teep hurdles to be overcome before mining could be established in Virginia within a regulatory framework that is protective of health, safety, and the environment. The City contracted with nationally prominent experts to prepare a study of the downstream water quality impacts that would occur from a hypothetical, catastrophic breach of an al ove-grade, uranium mine tailings disposal cell. The study indicates that in the aftermath of an a:sumed catastrophe, radioactivity in the main body of Lake Gaston would remain above state and fed:ral regulatory levels for up to two months during wet years and six to sixteen months during dry years The only practical response during this time would be to shut down the Lake Gaston project. Dependi g upon the weather, this could have significant consequences to all of Southside Hampton Roar s, but particularly, Chesapeake,Norfolk, and Virginia Beach. The Cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and the Hampton Ro.ds Planning District Commission have all passed resolutions opposing uranium mining in Virginia and lifting the legislative moratorium on uranium mining. Request: The General Assembly of Virginia is requested to maintain the existing moratori on uranium mining in Virginia. Also, the Commonwealth is requested to vigorously oppose federal co actions to overturn the Uranium Mining Moratorium.

INCREASED FUNDING FOR MENTAL HEALTHCARE SPONSORED BY THE VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL Background Information: People with serious mental illness, as well as their loved ones, and people with addiction disorders and their families face a crisis when it comes to accessing services they need. Decades of neglect to the mental health system, plus an increased need from people who are uninsured, underinsured, or facing economic hardship, have exacerbated the problem. According to the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Development Services, almost 4,500 Virginians are waiting to receive community-based services for mental health alone, and almost 1,500 of those have waited for services longer than four months. The well-being of families and our community is seriously threatened by the failure of those in need to receive timely and effective mental healthcare... Request: The City requests that the General Assembly provide significant increases to funding for mental healthcare services beyond that provided in 2016. The City supports the Virginia Association of Community Services Board(VACSB) budget priorities for 2017-2018 and requests funding to include, but not limited to the following: • Workforce development with a focus on recruiting and are retaining licensed or license-eligible staff by offering tuition reimbursement and clinical supervision financial incentives-- $3,991,000 • The VACSB Emergency Services and Substance Abuse Councils are seeking expansion of medical detoxification to improve our crisis response system for individuals with substance use dependence and ensure that resources are available for safe detoxification during a crisis episode -- $16,000,000. • Reintegration services for high-risk youth and adults to expand capacity for the purchase of community-based services and treatment to address youth and adults who are high-risk for re- hospitalization or re-offense due the severity of their behavioral health challenges -- $7,000,000 • Additional Waiver Slots: The VACSB Developmental Services Council is supporting The ARC's Waiver Waiting List Reduction Package to reduce the ID/DD Waiver waiting list by 50%. Waiver slots build capacities that will enable individuals who need developmental services and supports, including those with multiple disabilities,to live a life that is fully integrated in the community. o Fund 200 Developmental Disability Waiver slots as part of the DOJ settlement agreement in FY16 o Fund 800 Individual and Family Support Waiver slots in both FY 2017 &FY 2018 *Each ID waiver slot costs approximately$45,000 a year SECTION 1 .2 - CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH NEW POLICY INITIATIVES I 13 6. AMEND THE VIRGINIA CODE SECTION §42.170 TO INCREASE THE CIVIL CASE FILING FEE ASSESSED IN 1988, FROM $4.00 TO $5.00 SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER,AMELIA N. ROSS-HAMMOND Background Information: The Wahab Public Law Library (WPLL) is under the governance of the Department of Public Libraries, however, all operational funding, including that for personnel, is not derived from the City's General Fund, but from civil cases filed in the Virginia Beach Circuit and General District Courts. The Circuit Court Clerk takes 5% out of each $4.00 filing fee as a commission, as provided for in §17.1-289 of the Code of Virginia, with WPLL receiving a total of$3.80 per each$4.00 filing fee. WPLL ensures free access to a significant collection of current and accurate resources, specifically for the purpose of providing legal information. It is open to anyone in need of legal information for research and the practice of law in the community. WPLL has been a part of the Virginia Beach Public Library since 1971. The library is, as the name states, a Public Law Library. Our customers include citizens; employees in city and state agencies such as the City Attorney, Public Defender, Commonwealth's Attorney, Circuit Court; members of the legal profession; and students who are researching legal topics or studying legal writing and research as part of their certification or degree coursework. WPLL has evolved over the years from a small room near the Circuit Court Building in the early 1970's to the current location in the Court Support Building of the Judicial Center. The 5,000 square foot facility houses a collection of nearly 14,000 print volumes, and microform. The WPLL public computer lab features free Internet access for the public, legal research databases Lexis and Westlaw, and a microform reader printer. The WPLL staff consists of two full-time and two part-time employees. The Wahab Public Law Library (WPLL) is under the governance of the Department of Public Libraries, however, all operational funding, including that for personnel, is derived not Request: The City requests the General Assembly to increase the filing fee to $5. With a $1 increase, all funding will go to support the Law Library. Operation and maintenance of the Wahab Public Law Library cannot be sustained on the revenue it currently receives. Since 1995, WPLL relied upon financial assistance from both the General Fund and its revenue fund balance. The budget was reduced by nearly half in FY 2008, including a reduction in hours for the general public. In FY 2009, the WPLL budget was reduced again to balance expenditures with court revenue only and eliminate the need to obtain support from the General Fund. The lack of funding has resulted in inadequate staffing levels to cover all service points and a reduction in hours of operation to the general public. Insufficient operating costs to cover the purchase of legal resources have compounded. With the additional cost of a rent increase in FY16 from $12 per squ.re foot to $19.28 per square foot to be paid over a three-year period, the fund balance continues to diminish. By FY 2018, the fund balance will be below the required 10%balance that must be maintained per Management Services. 1, I 4 µy',r 7. VOTING RIGHTS SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER,AMELIA N.ROSS-HAMMOND &THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION Background Information: The right to vote is a fundamental right of every citizen of our Commonwealth and nation and it is the foundation of our democracy. Barriers to the ballot box harm our state and our nation and are inconsistent with the ideals and principles upon which our great nation and our Commonwealth were founded. Increased voter participation, on the other hand, strengthens our democracy and results in leaders who are responsive to the diverse needs of all of our citizens. Request: The City requests that the General Assembly support legislation that removes barriers to voter participation and improves the ability of all Virginia citizens to exercise their fundamental right to vote. In particular, it is requested that the Right to Absentee Voting be offered to any person qualified to vote in person without providing a reason. Currently,there are specific excuses for voting early that limit turnout. 115 8. SOLUTION TO COASTAL FLOODING REGIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INITIATIVE SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER,BARBARA HENLEY Background Information: The Hampton Roads Region (along with New Orleans) is the most at risk for coastal flooding and Sea Level Rise in the country. Recurrent Flooding and Sea level rise is a reality, as can be evidenced by tide gauges kept by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and others since the early 1900's. Sea Level Rise is real, and much of Virginia Beach is low and drains poorly. Storms that were small nuisances just 10-15 years ago, now caused major destruction of roadways and damage homes. The City Council has embarked on a strategy of studying the various watersheds within the City, which will in the end provide plans on how to address Recurrent Flooding and Sea Level Rise. The other localities in the region are doing similar efforts. This is a regional effort, which will take actions by the state, federal, and local government. It will also be a very expensive endeavor. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative as it currently exist in states from Maryland and New York north, allows carbon allowances to be purchased for every ton of CO2 emitted. Companies decide how to stay below a cap that is set through the region, and these allowances are sold at quarterly auctions. The proceeds are then returned to the state for reinvestment. It's projected that roughly $200M in auction revenues through 2030 could be provided to Virginia. This could also help address the administration "Clean Power Plan". Request: The General Assembly is requested to adopt legislation as was introduced by Delegate Ron Villanueva of Virginia Beach and Chesapeake in the 2016 Session. This would allow Virginia to join with the Northeast RGGI. This would allow us to manage cuts in carbon emission, while at the same time providing revenue to address Sea level Rise and Recurrent Flooding. Currently the nine RGGI states represent 25% of the U.S. population. They have had $1.3B in net positive economic impact, have cut pollution three times faster than non-RGGI states, and have had lower bills for power than other areas. V:41.1 X16 9. USE OF OYSTER LEASES FOR NAVIGATION PROJECT SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS,JAMES L WOOD&JOHN E. UHRIN Background Information: The City has numerous rivers and tributaries that require maintenance dredging. T is includes both the main channels of the Eastern and Western branches of the Lynnhaven River an. multiple navigation channels serving the multitude of neighborhoods of the fully developed watershed. Not only do these waterways provide access for homeowners to utilize their waterfront property, out these navigation channels support recreational boating for residents and visitors to the City in addit on to serving water- dependent local businesses and watermen. Virtually all of the coves of the Lynnh.ven were developed with navigation channels. With the support of General Assembly legislation, Special Service Districts (SSDs) are being created to formulate neighborhood navigation dredging projects to reclaim those navigation cha els that have filled with silt, mud and sediment foreign to the Lynnhaven's past. Restoring navigabl- channels for these waterfront neighborhoods is a critical goal for the City, and the Navigation SSD pro. am provides a venue to accomplish this. The silt, mud and sediment that have inundated this body o water contribute to degradation of the water quality of the Lynnhaven, which is condemned or restricted to oyster production in many areas. As a result of contamination, most oyster leases are unprodu•-tive or have costly restrictions and compliance measures before a harvest can be brought to market. Restoring navigation channels is a part of the City's effort to cleaning up the Lyn aven River, but the widely popular SSD neighborhood navigation dredging program has been placed at risk due to 2014 legislation barring localities from exercising eminent domain to acquire portions of oyster leases of state- owned bottomlands, even if the purpose is navigational dredging. Due to guar,intees made by the Commonwealth to the holders of oyster leases, consent from the oyster lease holde is required for any dredging permit issued by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. The egal result of this requirement is that a single oyster lease holder with a nonproductive, vacant oyster .ed in a condemned creek retains veto power over a navigation dredging project affecting hundreds of waterfront property owners and recreational boaters. The oyster leases cost $1.50 per acre/per year for . 10-year lease, and although there is a requirement that leases be worked for oyster production, there are ,_enerous exceptions for rivers like the Lynnhaven, where such production would not likely yield oy ters. The proposed legislation is to promote a balance that allows the municipality and its property o ers to maintain the navigation channels while providing fair treatment to active producing oyster lease hole ers. , r Request: The General Assembly is requested to amend the code of Virginia §28.2-618 § 28.2-618. Commonwealth guarantees rights of renter subject to right of fishin The Commonwealth shall guarantee to any person who has complied with ground assignment requirements the absolute right to continue to use and occupy the ground for the to of the lease, subject to: 1. Section 28.2-613; 2. Riparian rights; 3. The right of fishing in waters above the bottoms, provided (i) that no person e -ercising the right of fishing shall use any device which is fixed to the bottom, or which, in any way, inter Beres with the renter's rights or damages the bottoms, or the oysters planted thereon, and (ii) that crab pots . ad gill nets which are not staked to the bottom shall not be considered devices which are fixed to the botto unless the crab pots and gill nets are used over planted oyster beds in waters of less than four feet at mtan low water on the seaside of Northampton and Accomack Counties; 4. Established fishing stands, but only if the fishing stand license fee is timely recei ed from the existing licensee of the fishing stand and no new applicant shall have priority over the oyster lease. However, a fishing stand location assigned prior to the lease of the oyster ground is a vested inter-st, a chattel real, and an inheritable right which may be transferred or assigned whenever the current licen•ee complies with all existing laws; and 5. In navigable waters that are located in the Lynnhaven River and its creeks and tri utaries, the right of navigation, including dredging projects to improve, deepen or restore existing na 'igation channels in areas approved by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, so long as the person dredging designs the project to minimize affecting active, producing beds and, to the extent any such bed cannot be avoided, the dredger relocates the oyster material that would be disturbed at its sole cost or he Virginia Marine Resources Commission includes in its permit a condition that the person dredging wi.l pay the holder for any losses of oysters in production in an amount to be determined by agreement of the oyster holders or, if no agreement can be reached, by a court of competent jurisdiction as of the date he oysters are first disturbed. This change would allow the City to compensate for loss of use while allowing muc needed projects to go forward. (24(1) 10. REMOVE PREQUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT FOR BOND WAIVE PROGRAM SPONSORED BY CITY CO CIL MEMBER,BOB DYER Background Information: The City of Virginia Beach has undertaken many efforts to further equal opportunity and non- discrimination in City procurement. In 1995, the City Council created the r gion's first Minority Business Council (the "MBC"). The City and the MBC have worked over the ye. s to further programs and efforts to reduce barriers in City procurement to include: • The City Council establishing a goal of 10%minority participation in City Co Ztracts; • De-bundling of City contracts to better enable small, woman-owned, and minority-owned ("SWaM") businesses to compete; • Utilization of a comprehensive database of SWaM businesses and the types of goods or services that each business provides; • Enactment of a Small Business Enhancement Program requiring contractors to utilize at least 50% SWaM businesses in subcontracting plans; • Implementation of a City Administrative Directive to require solicitations of SWaM, including minority-owned and woman-owned, vendors for City contract of less th. $50,000. • Entry into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Virginia Departme t of Small Business abd Supplier Diversity (through its predecessor, Department of Minority B siness Enterprise) to develop a productive and mutually beneficial working relationship; • City Council adoption of a bond waiver program to the extent authorized by the General Assembly on Feb 7, 2006, which includes a prequalification process. The City of Virginia Beach has found that the prequalification process is time c nsuming for small business and as a result the bond waiver program has not been as successful as intend-d. Since inception, this program has only been used eight times by: 3 small businesses, 4 woman-own:d businesses, and 1 minority owned business. Request: The City of Virginia Beach urges the General Assembly to adopt legislatio to remove the prequalification process for waiving the bid bond for non-transportation projects bet een $100,000 and $500,000. \-:,711/ 1 1 11. ONLINE RENTAL PLATFORMS/AIRBNB AND OTHERS SPONSORED BY VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL, Background Information: City Council adopted a Resolution in January 2016 requesting the General Asse ibly to give localities authority to regulate online platforms such as Airbnb. This is a growing issue for Vir:inia localities, in that property owners list their homes on the internet through these online platforms foi rental. The City has little authority to regulate these enterprises, which compete with the convention;1 hotel and bed and breakfast business. Conflicts also occur at the neighborhood level as the legal right If quiet enjoyment by adjoining property owners is impeded, and parking, health safety and welfare issues continue to grow. Additionally, the City and State are unable to collect the State Sales Tax and Local ransiency Occupancy Tax from these properties as currently required by law. This means that these prope ies are being illegally rented out (either whole house, or room), and compete directly against conventional hotels that must comply with health safety and welfare regulations, and collect and remit taxes due ..irectly to the locality and state. Every hotel is required by law to create a folio on every guest that shows he number of nights, money spent, etc., which is auditable by the state. No such audit train exists for the on ine rental platforms. The General Assembly referred this issue during the 2016 Session of General Ass ombly to the Virginia Housing Commission. A special workgroup, the Short-Term Lodging Workgroup, as been working on this issue, and is expected to produce recommendations by December 1St Request: The City of Virginia Beach requests the General Assembly to adopt legislation during 'he 2017 Session of General Assembly that requires these online rental platforms operate with the same requirements as the Traditional Lodging Industry does such as: • Collection of the taxes due and remittance directly to the state and local gover ents, • Regulation by localities for issues such as health, safety, and welfare incl ding adequacy of parking, • Control on where these properties are allowed to be located, • Requirement of platforms to delist non-compliant properties. Furthermore, some penalties for violating the above requirements, and also causing harm to quality of life in existing to neighborhoods that have the expectation of quiet enjoyment of thei properties should be included in the legislation.

COASTAL PRIMARY SAND AND BEACHES ACT: UTHORIZING VIRGINIA BEACH WETLANDS BOARD TO ISSUE SAND MANAGEMENT GENERAL PERMIT SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEM 3ERS,BARBARA HENLEY Background Information: Sandbridge Beach is a nourished beach consisting of residentially zoned propert in Virginia Beach. Although portions of the beach are privately owned, they are subject to recreat'on and construction easements authorizing public use and sand replenishment. Many of the properties ave bulkheads along the western easement lines. Beach restoration projects have addressed erosion but over time, sand has migrated inland from the beach and in many cases overtopped the bulkheads, caus'ng interference with fences, gates, swimming pools, decks and other structures. This migrating sand creat-s safety hazards and interferes with the enjoyment and use of the owners' property. Under the current provisions of the Coastal Primary Sand Dune and Beaches Act, property owners cannot move sand that is oceanward of their bulkhead (or if no bulkhead, oceanward of th- nearest impervious surface) and cannot place and spread any sand removed from their property upo the beach without obtaining a permit from the Virginia Beach Wetlands Board ("the Board"). There are numerous properties along Sandbridge Beach that are affected by the accumulation of migrating sand. It i. cumbersome, costly and inefficient for each property owner to obtain an individual permit for the manage ent of this nuisance sand. A general permit process would benefit the public, the property owners and th:, City while allowing appropriate protection of the beach. Request: The City requests that the General Assembly amend the Coastal Primary Sand Dun: and Beaches Act, Section 28.2-1408.2 to add provisions authorizing the Board to issue a gene al permit for the management of nuisance sand ("Sand Management General Permit") in the ►andbridge Beach Subdivision and to provide a reasonable, timely and cost effective process for pro.-rty owners in the Sandbridge Beach Subdivision to become covered under the Sand Management Gene al Permit. A draft of the proposed amendment is attached. Va. Code Ann. § 28.2-1408.2 § 28.2-1408.2. Exemptions A. Notwithstanding the requirements of§ 28.2-1408 or any other provision of this Code, the Virginia Beach Wetlands Board (Board) shall make an ongoing determination in the Sandbridge Beach Subdivision to determine which structures or properties are in clear and imminent danger from erosion and storm damage due to severe wave action or storm surge. The owners of such structures or properties shall not be prohibited from erecting and maintaining protective bulkheads or other equivalent structural improvements of the type, size and configuration as approved by the Board. As used in this section, the"Sandbridge Beach Subdivision" means the area that is bounded on the north by Dam Neck Naval Base, on the west by Sandpiper Road, and on the south by Little Island Park. The Board shall not impose arbitrary or unreasonable conditions upon its approval of any such bulkhead or other structural improvement. The Board shall maintain a continuing responsibility to ensure that each bulkhead or structural improvement constructed under the authority of this section is maintained in a condition that is safe, structurally sound, and otherwise in conformity with the conditions imposed by the Board. Upon submission of an application to the Board pursuant to this section, as a requirement for approval, the applicant must consent in writing to any subsequent construction approved by the Board whereby an adjacent property owner desires to tie in a bulkhead at no additional cost with the bulkhead proposed by the applicant. Such consent shall constitute a waiver of property line defenses relating to the bulkhead line. B. The Board may develop and adopt, after holding a public hearing, a General Permit for Sand Management for properties in the Sandbridge Beach Subdivision along with appropriate Placement Profiles. The Board shall cause notice of the hearing to be published at least once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks prior to such hearing in a newspaper having general circulation in the City of Virginia Beach. Any Sand Management General Permit and Placement Profiles adopted by the Board shall set forth sand management practices that encourage owners of real property in the Sandbridge Beach Subdivision to undertake responsible, cost-effective sand management practices that protect and enhance the value and use of their property and that preserve and protect coastal primary sand dunes and public beaches and prevent their despoliation and destruction. The Sand Management General Permit and Placement Profiles shall specify all permissible sand management practices including, but not limited to, the manner in which sand removed from said properties shall be transported to and placed upon an appropriate sand placement and spreading zone as may be designated in the Placement Profiles promulgated by the Board, and the requirement that such sand shall be in the condition of clean beach sand prior to such transport and placement. The Board may from time to time revise the Sand Management General Permit and Placement Profiles as appropriate, in accordance with this subsection. Following adoption, the owner of real property in the Sandbridge Beach Subdivision, or the designee of such owner, may obtain coverage under the applicable Sand Management General Permit and Placement Profile by submitting a registration statement to the Board on a form to be promulgated by the Board requiring the following information: (i) Owner's name; (ii) Owner's address; (iii) Owner's telephone number and email address; (iv)Address of property or properties; (v) Designee's name: (vi) Designee's address; (vii) Designee's telephone number and email address; (viii) Identification of applicable Placement Profile for the property or properties; (ix) Signature of applicant or designee; and (x) Date of application. The Board may impose a reasonable fee in connection with processing the registration statement. I 22 The Board shall within thirty (30) days of receipt of a registration statement notify the applicant in writing whether the registration statement is approved or disapproved. The Board's written notice of approval or disapproval may be delivered to the applicant via email at the email address stated in the registration statement or it may be delivered via U.G. Mail at the address stated in the registration statement, or both. If the Board fails to notify the applicant in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of a registration statement, then the registration statement it is deemed approved. If the registration statement is disapproved, the Board shall provide in its notification to the applicant a complete statement of the reason(s)for the disapproval. Notwithstanding the requirements of§ 28.2-1408 or any other provision of this Code, if the registration statement is approved, then the applicant is authorized to manage sand in accordance with the applicable Sand Management General Permit for a periodofthree (3) yeanafromnthedataof the application. The approval or disapproval of a registration statement submitted by an applicant is a decision of a wetlands board that is reviewable pursuant to §28.2-1411 of the Code. • 13. ROAD MAINTENANCE FUNDING FORMULA REVISION (ROAD DIE 5) SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL ME BER,ROSEMARY WILSON Background Information: The General Assembly created the roadway maintenance funding formula in the 1970s. VDOT uses this formula to determine how much money to pass thru to localities that maintain their o roads: "For the purpose of calculating allocations and making payments under this section, the Department shall divide affected highways into two categories, which shall be distinct from but based on functional classifications established by the Federal Highway Administration: (1) principal an. minor arterial roads and (2) collector roads and local streets. Payments made to affected localities shall be based on the number of moving-lane-miles of highways or portions thereof available to peak-hour traffic i that locality." (Code of Virginia §33.2-319, emphasis added) Absent an explicit definition for "moving-lane-miles", VDOT has interpreted the germ as lanes of any width that are open for thru motor vehicle use, thus excluding turn lanes, on-street par ing, and bike lanes. "Road diets" reconfigure the lanes of an existing road to improve the safety and e iciency of the road, often without changing the curb lines or edges. Road diets usually reduce the num s er of lanes but add other features such as center turn lanes and bike lanes. The prototypical road diet con erts a 4-lane road to have 2 thru lanes, a center turn lane, and 2 bike lanes. Such a conversion woulreduce a locality's inventory of"moving-lane-miles" and thus also the funds received for maintenance, but there would still be just as much asphalt to maintain. In 2015, HB1402 was introduced to adjust the formula so that localities conducting oad diets would not suffer reduced maintenance payments. The final form of HB1402 as adopted was li ited to the City of Richmond for 2015 only, but it also required VDOT to prepare a report on how to incl de bike lanes. In 2016, SB669 was introduced in response to the VDOT report, with the same goal ol preserving funding for localities that conduct road diets. SB669 applied only to bike lane conversions co ducted after July 1, 2014; limited localities to 50 moving lane miles or 3% of the locality's total; d required that a Professional Engineer (PE) assess the conversion for adequate capacity and compli. ce with the "Urban Bikeway Design Guide" of the National Association of City Transportation Officials i ACTO). Request: The General Assembly is requested to revise the roadway maintenance funding form la to accommodate the conversion of moving-lane-miles to bike lanes without reducing the maintenance ding provided to localities after the conversion,perhaps along the lines of SB669 (2016). 1 '24 14. MENHADEN FISHING REGULATION SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS,MAYOR WILLIAM D. SESSOMS,JR., .LOUIS R.JONES,JAMES L. WOOD JOHN E. UHRIN&BENJAMIN DAVENPORT Background Information: A small fish- Menhaden- is often referred to as "the most important fish in the sea". Because it is close to the bottom of the food chain, the populations of many species rely on the Menhaden as a source of food. These include important commercial fisheries and tourism such as: blue crab, rock fish, speckled trout, mackerel, flounder, tuna, and shark. Over fishing of Menhaden affects those populations, and hurts many people's income that rely on the sale of seafood to make a living. Tourism also suffers if the top of the food chain species go elsewhere in search of food. The importance of Menhaden is not solely founded on the population of other species. Menhaden also provide a service in filtering the Bay, second only in importance to the oyster. As they filter the Bay they return much needed oxygen to the waters for life to flourish. The Chesapeake Bay and the near shore Atlantic Ocean waters of Virginia Beach are commonly referred to as the "Menhaden Nursery". Maturation of the Menhaden primarily happens in the Bay which provides the Atlantic Coast with these important fish. Keeping the Menhaden population flourishing is not only healthy for the bay and for the entire Atlantic coast, but for the businesses that are such a part of the economic engines known as tourism and commercial fishing. Menhaden fishing is currently regulated by the General Assembly. Although the General Assembly's knowledge of many issues is both wide and deep, regulation of fisheries is best left to those more knowledgeable of the science. Menhaden is also a multi-state resource that needs to be looked at as a whole, rather than the needs of few. The General Assembly has removed itself from the regulation of most other fish & game species, and the regulation of Menhaden needs to be placed with the Virginia Marine Resources Commission where the technology and science exist to best manage it. Also, the current regulation of Menhaden does not require those fishing for this species to operate at a reasonable distance from shore either on the Bay or the Ocean. Breakage in nets leads to regular pollution of the Bay and Atlantic Ocean beaches with deposits of dead fish. Request: The City of Virginia Beach requests the General Assembly to adopt Legislation introduced during the 2016 legislative session similar to HB-150 introduced by Delegate Barry Knight, and SB-98 introduced by Senator John Cosgrove. This would require the Virginia Marine Resource Commission to adopt regulations to implement the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Menhaden. It would also require any moratorium on the fishery to be subject to legislative review. Additionally, as was proposed in HB-151 by Delegate Knight, in the 2016 legislative session, fishing for Menhaden with purse nets in the Chesapeake Bay would be prohibited within one mile and within three miles of the shore lines of Virginia Beach extending from the North Carolina border. This common sense legislation would allow this very important resource to be managed for the overall health of the Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and Virginia's economy based on science and facts. • I 2 5 15. A GOVERNOR'S CABINET LEVEL STATE RESILIENCY OFFICER FOR RECURRENT FLOODING SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER,JAMES L.WOOD Background Information: Hampton Roads is identified as one of the most flood prone areas in the nation. This is due to the combination of sea-level rise, subsidence of land, and construction in tidal areas over the last 400 years. That development has reduced natural drainage areas and the ability to absorb flooding along with a host of other reasons. To address these issues the General Assembly created the Joint Sub-Committee on Coastal Flooding. This is chaired by Delegate Chris Stolle of Virginia Beach. They have met multiple times over the last several years, and have identified a number of issues that need to be addressed by the General Assembly. One recommendation that was suggested, but not adopted, was that a State Resiliency Officer position be created. Currently, Secretary of Public Safety, Brian Moran is acting as the Commonwealth's Resiliency Officer by agreement with the Governor's office. Unfortunately, the issue of recurrent flooding is in need of constant attention due to its threat to the economy of Virginia, particularly in Hampton Roads, and the wellbeing of all of our citizens. Recurrent flooding for instance is a threat to major military installations in Hampton Roads, which was identified by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission. The City of Norfolk is recognized as one of the most flood plain areas in the nation, second only to New Orleans, Louisiana. The ports of Virginia could become more susceptible to recurrent flooding, and their beneficial impact to the Commonwealth could be reduced if this issue is not addressed. Also there is an impact on almost every citizen in tidal Virginia because of the increase in nuisance flooding. Rain events that were unnoticed now create impassable streets and destroy property. Furthermore many insurance companies are reluctant to write homeowners policies because of increased risk/claims. Currently, the state lacks a single point of contact charged with identifying and addressing recurrent flooding issues and proposing methods to counter them. Request: The City of Virginia Beach requests the General Assembly to create a stand-alone cabinet level secretariat State Resiliency Officer, and program. This program should be identified as the lead in order to give direction, and ensure accountability to possibly one of the most important issues facing all of tidal Virginia. Furthermore, the Resiliency Secretariat should be closely aligned with the Secure Commonwealth Panel, and be sufficiently supported with staff and resources from other state agencies. The current operation of having this as a subordinate duty for the Secretary of Public Safety will likely prove to be ineffective in the long term for bringing resources to bear on this important issue. Recurrent flooding affects all of Coastal Virginia, and Hampton Roads especially. Even in times of scarce resources, as the Commonwealth is currently facing, this clear threat to the wellbeing of the Commonwealth's citizens and our businesses should be addressed effectively and resourced as needed • I 26 16. ANIMAL CRUELTY SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER,JAMES L. WOOD Background Information: State law sets the penalties for cruelty to animals. Currently, Virginia Code § 2.2-6570 provides that an abuser can only be charged with felony animal abuse if(1) the animal dies as a result of torture or severe abuse; or (2) the abuser previously had been convicted within the last five years of cruelty to animals. Accordingly, if a Virginia court concludes that a defendant tortured or severely abused an animal, but the animal survived the abuse, the court cannot sentence the defendant to more than one year in jail unless the abuser had been convicted of the same offense within the past five years. If the defendant instead could be found guilty of a Class 6 felony, the court would have the discretion to sentence the abuser to up to five years imprisonment. Amending the law to allow a felony charge would enable our courts to better address severe instances of animal abuse. Request: The City Council requests that the General Assembly amend Virginia Code § 3.2-6570 to allow persons who severely abuse companion animals to be charged with a Class 6 felony, regardless of whether the animal survives or whether the defendant had been previously convicted of the same crime within the past five years. 1 27 17. GAP FINANCING REPEAL SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER,JOHN D.MOSS Background Information: Virginia Code §58.1-3851.1 was adopted by the General Assembly in 2011. his statute allows a qualifying tourism project to receive revenues from state and local taxes generated o the project premises to support "gap financing," as that term is defined in the statute. The developer of such a project has to match the amount contributed by the state taxes, and the developer match is referred o as an "access fee." The state taxes, local taxes, and access fee are quarterly remitted to the City, irected to the local development authority, and paid to a private financial institution. Such paymen s continue until the qualified gap financing is paid in full. In 2015, the General Assembly modified §5; .1-3851.1 to allow a project with 70 percent of project funding, through debt and equity, to qualify for gap financing. The 2015 General Assembly also added §58.1-3851.2, which authorizes additional state d local taxes and developer access fee to be directed to gap financing for a"tourism project of regional significance." Rationale for Request: • Subsidies, no matter how noble there purpose, inject the inefficient applic.tion of capital. Rare would the denial that unfettered capitalism imposes social outcomes that a m.jority of our republic demands be mitigated. • The former being acknowledge, subsidies be they in the form of direct publii investment, indirect tax expenditures, and/or tax and fee rebates enabled by "GAP" financing or " ourism district" give new development a competitive advantage over existing businesses and real gns existing revenue streams from current businesses to the new subsidized development. • The opportunity cost of the displacement effect of taxpayer subsidized development, if recognized, is under assessed and underappreciated. • A level economic playing field in our free enterprise generates the most prosperity and the most innovation. • It is in the best long term interest of the Commonwealth to return to a free ma ket approach to local government. The current legislation while well intended is bad policy. Request: The City Council requests the General Assembly repeal §§58.1-3851.1 & 58.1-3851... (T.\ I 2 8 18. CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC NEED SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER,BOB DYER Background Information: The Certificate of Public Need (COPN) has been used for many years to manage expensive healthcare delivery facilities in the Commonwealth. This means that when hospitals wish to expand adding new beds or equipment they must go to a state body to receive permission to do so. The Certificate of Public Need is seen as a way to reduce duplication of expensive services and facilities, and also to make sure that facilities constructed are not just those that profit the hospitals and other individuals the most. The COPN is seen as a way to reduce healthcare costs and make services available as widely as possible. However, many in the medical services delivery field see the COPN as an unwarranted intrusion into the free market. During the 2016 session of the General Assembly, multiple bills were introduced to either outright repeal or other adjustments/modifications to the existing law. Delegate Chris Stolle, of Virginia Beach, who is not only a medical doctor but a Hospital Administrator, introduced House Bill-1083. HB-1083 would have modified the COPN while maintaining the bedrock of the process. Delegate Stolle's bill was defeated; however, other legislation is being studied over the period between the 2016 session and the 2017 session. There will most assuredly be legislation introduced in the 2017 session that again ranges from outright repeal to modifications as needed. Request: The City of Virginia Beach requests the General Assembly retain COPN in its current form with process reforms similar to those recommended by Delegate Chris Stolle (HB 1083) in the 2016 session. This legislation addresses concerns surrounding the COPN process while maintaining the integrity of the program. Additionally, any legislation to deregulate COPN must be coupled with polices to promote access to care, ensure provision of essential health services, fund graduate medical education, and maintain the fiscal stability of Virginia's community. ;:8,r,-'!.'-''''''"2--..-',,, ; iid-4h.g6 , CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM J ITEM: A Resolution Appointing Elizabeth Bradley DeJarnette to the Position of Associate City Attorney MEETING DATE: October 4, 2016 • Background: Section 2-166 of the City Code provides that "[t]he city council may, from time to time, upon recommendation of the city attorney, appoint such deputy and assistant city attorneys as it may deem necessary to serve at the pleasure of the city attorney." • Considerations: This Resolution appoints Elizabeth Bradley DeJarnette as an Associate City Attorney, effective October 7, 2016.

APPROVED AS TO CONTENT AND LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: Mark D. Stiles, City Attorney CA13641 R-2 September 23, 2016 4E CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing 1) the Acquisition of an Agricultural Land Preservation Easement from My III Sons, LLC (83.76+/- Acres), 2) the Issuance by the City of its Contract Obligations in the Maximum Principal Amount of $461,611, and 3) Transfer of Funds to Purchase U.S. Treasury STRIPS MEETING DATE: October 4, 2016 • Background: In May 1995, the Agricultural Lands Preservation Ordinance (the "Ordinance") was adopted by the City Council for the purpose of promoting and encouraging the preservation of farmland in the rural southern portion of the City. Under the Agricultural Reserve Program established by the Ordinance, the City purchases the development rights of eligible parcels of land, leaving the fee simple ownership of the land unchanged. These purchases are embodied by perpetual agricultural land preservation easements pursuant to which only agricultural uses, as defined in the Ordinance, are allowed on the land. The subject property has been appraised by an independent appraiser retained by the City. The appraiser has determined the fair market value of the property, based upon seven (7) comparable sales. From the fair market value, the value of the development rights has been determined by subtracting $1,800 per acre, which has previously been established as the farm value (i.e., value of the land restricted to agricultural uses) for land throughout the southern rural area of the City. The resulting amount is the value of the development rights of the property. All offers by the City to purchase the development rights of property are expressly made contingent upon the absence of any title defects or other conditions which, in the opinion of the City Attorney, may adversely affect the City's interests, and other standard contingencies. • Considerations: The subject property consists of two (2) parcels of land having approximately 83.76 acres outside of marshland or swampland. It is owned by My III Sons, L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company. Under current development regulations, there is a total development potential of nine (9) single-family dwelling building sites, and one (1) has been reserved for future development. The parcels, which are shown on the attached Location Map, are located on Hungarian Road (GPINs: 1388-47-6179 and 1388-57-1235) in the District of Princess Anne. The proposed purchase price, as stated in the ordinance, is $461,611. This price is the equivalent of approximately $5,500 per acre. The terms of the proposed acquisition are that the City would pay interest only for a period of 25 years, with the principal amount being due and payable 25 years from the date of closing. The interest rate to be paid by the City will be the greater of 2.20% per annum or the per annum rate which is equal to the yield on U.S. Treasury STRIPS purchased by the City to fund its principal obligation under the Installment Purchase Agreement, not to exceed 4.20% without the further approval of the City Council. The ordinance authorizes the transfer of the amount needed to purchase the U.S. Treasury STRIPS from the Agriculture Reserve Program Special Revenue Fund to the General Debt Fund. The proposed terms and conditions of the purchase of the development rights pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, including the purchase price and manner of payment, are fair and reasonable and in furtherance of the purposes of the Ordinance. • Public Information: Notice of Public Hearing has been advertised by publication in a newspaper having general circulation in the City once per week for two successive weeks. • Alternatives: The City Council may decline to purchase the development rights to the property. • Recommendations: Adoption of the ordinance and acquisition of the development rights, assuming all contingencies are met. • Attachments: Ordinance Summary of Terms of Installment Purchase Agreement Disclosure Statement Form Location Map Recommended Action: Adoption Submitting De• • :nt/Ag cy: Agriculture Department City Manager: 4. ,SPA 1 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING 1) THE ACQUISITION OF 2 AN AGRICULTURAL LAND PRESERVATION EASEMENT 3 FROM MY III SONS, LLC (83.76+/- ACRES), 2) THE 4 ISSUANCE BY THE CITY OF ITS CONTRACT OBLIGATIONS 5 IN THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF$461,611, AND 6 3)TRANSFER OF FUNDS TO PURCHASE U.S. TREASURY 7 STRIPS 8 9 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agricultural Lands Preservation Ordinance (the 10 "Ordinance"), Appendix J of the Code of the City of Virginia Beach, there has been 11 presented to the City Council a request for approval of an Installment Purchase Agreement 12 (the form and standard provisions of which have been previously approved by the City 13 Council, a summary of terms of which is hereto attached, and a copy of which is on file in 14 the City Attorney's Office) for the acquisition of the Development Rights (as defined in the 15 Installment Purchase Agreement) on certain property located in the City and more fully 16 described in Exhibit B of the Installment Purchase Agreement for a purchase price of 17 $461,611; and 18 19 WHEREAS, the aforesaid Development Rights shall be acquired through the 20 acquisition of a perpetual agricultural land preservation easement, as defined in, and in 21 compliance with, the requirements of the Ordinance; and 22 23 WHEREAS,the City Council has reviewed the proposed terms and conditions of the 24 purchase as evidenced by the Installment Purchase Agreement. 25 26 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 27 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 28 29 1.

VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: A Resolution Supporting Increased Crossing Capacity Across Hampton Roads Harbor and Endorsing SEIS Alternative B MEETING DATE: October 4, 2016 • Background: The Virginia Department of Transportation, in concert with the Federal Highway Administration has published a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement ("SEIS") on providing additional transportation capacity to connect Southside Hampton Roads to areas north and west. Four alternatives were examined, along with a no-build alternative. Staff has reviewed these alternatives and has commented in the SEIS process. • Considerations: Alternative B adds capacity to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel corridor and provides a new east-west connection from 1-564 to Route 164, connecting to 1-664, which can comply with the fiscally constrained Long Range Plan. Alternatives C and D are non-permittable based on comments by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Navy. The no-build alternative and Alternative A fail to address the purpose and need of the SEIS. • Public Information: A discussion was held with City Council on September 27, 2016. Public comment will be received at the October 4, 2016 meeting in Council Chambers. • Recommendations: It is recommended that City Council approve the attached resolution that supports the construction of Alternative B as detailed in the HRCS-SEIS. This includes the expansion of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel by 2 lanes and a new crossing of the Elizabeth River from Norfolk to Craney Island. • Attachments: Resolution.

During review of this encroachment application, a shed was identified in the rear- yard setback. The shed has been reported to Zoning Enforcement for resolution. • Considerations: City Staff has reviewed the requested encroachments and has recommended approval of same, subject to certain conditions outlined in the Agreement. There are similar encroachments in Lake Joyce, which is where the Renn Trust has requested to encroach.

Staff is of the professional opinion that the establishment of a 15-foot-wide vegetated riparian buffer area consisting of under story trees and shrubs in a mulched bed running the entirety of the shoreline adjoining the applicant's property is feasible and warranted to help reduce long term water quality impacts associated with the existing and proposed encroachments. The applicant has submitted a plan for establishing a 15-foot-wide vegetated riparian buffer that has been reviewed and approved by the Department of Planning/Environmental Management Center. • Public Information: Advertisement of City Council Agenda • Alternatives: Deny the encroachment, or add conditions as desired by Council. • Recommendations: Approve the request subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. • Attachments: Pictures, Location Map, Disclosure Statement, Agreement, Ordinance and Map.

PHONE: (757)773-8084 EMAIL: RICKOPCC-LLC.CON JUNE 13, 2016 SHEET 1 OF 1 1,11 �V v CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEMS: (1) An Ordinance to Appropriate $706,385 from the Fund Balance of the Tourism Advertising Program Special Revenue Fund for Marketing Activities (2) An Ordinance to Transfer Funds within the FY 2016-17 Operating Budget of the Convention and Visitor's Bureau and to Authorize Seven New FTEs MEETING DATE: October 4, 2016 • Background: In August 1995, City Council established the Tourism Advertising Program (TAP) Special Revenue Fund with the intent to use the TAP Fund for the City's travel and tourism advertising programs. This fund collects revenues dedicated from one cent of the percentage-based portion of the transient lodging tax, one-half cent of the restaurant meal tax, and a flat lodging tax of one dollar per night. At the close of FY 2015-16, the TAP Fund is anticipated to have an un-appropriated fund balance of $806,385. The fund balance results from previously appropriated funds that lapsed at the end of the fiscal period and accumulated interest. Additionally, revenues from the previous fiscal year that exceeded estimates are available for appropriation by Council. Historically, this amount has been appropriated by City Council in the subsequent fiscal year. Of the anticipated fund balance, $706,385 is being requested for appropriation. Historically, the City Council has continued its support by appropriating these revenues to the TAP Fund in the Operating Budget for the City's advertising and marketing programs to promote and increase tourism, conventions and amateur sports competition visitation to the City. These programs include the operation and maintenance of the Visitor Information Centers and additional regional and national advertising for the City with increased emphasis on marketing through the City's website, www.visitvirginiabeach.com, and a variety of electronic media. In April 2016, Brad van Dommelen was appointed as the new Director of the Convention and Visitor's Bureau. On September 20th, Mr. van Dommelen briefed the City Council on his observations regarding the Department after his first six months on the job and made two specific proposals in order to improve departmental operations and increase fiscal efficiency. The first proposal is to redirect a portion of the funds currently allocated to the department's advertising agency to more effectively utilize and increase oversight of advertising resources in the TAP fund. The implementation of this proposal requires the addition of five new FTE's, three of which will be performing duties previously handled by the advertising agency and two of which will replace current contracted positions. In addition to the positions, funding will also be required for computers for three of these positions along with a new integrated software platform. The second proposal is to add two additional FTE's (from within the Tourism Investment Program Special Revenue Fund (the TIP Fund)) in the Resort Management Office to monitor adherence to permitted activities for special events occurring in the Resort Area. • Considerations: Two ordinances are attached to this agenda item. The first ordinance seeks to appropriate available TAP Fund fund balance for the following marketing purposes: 1. Increase investment in existing and new advertising and marketing programs (specifically targeting additional domestic leisure advertising) to more effectively promote Virginia Beach as a year-round destination in existing and new opportunity markets ($656,385); 2. Invest in marketing sponsorship opportunities associated with U.S. Travel Assoications IPW 2017 event in Washington DC (June 3-7, 2017). The event is the travel industry's premier international marketplace and the largest generator of travel to the U.S. and brings more than 1,300 international and domestic travel buyers together with supplier destinations like Virginia Beach. The proximity of this event to our City brings a very unique opportunity to showcase our destination ($50,000). If these funds are appropriated, the TAP Fund will have a fund balance of $100,000 to allow for an emergency reserve. The second ordinance provides for a re-allocation of resources within the CVB. This request is for the creation of seven new FTEs. Of the seven, five are funded by the TAP fund (one Convention and Tourism Market Administrator, one Administrative Assistant, one Multimedia Communications Specialist II, one Administrative Specialist II, and one Media and Communications Coordinator I). The creation of these positions will allow the CVB to bring several key functions currently performed as part of the CVB's existing agency programs in house, reducing existing targeted agency expenditures by an estimated $55,852/month. The difference in the costs associated with the creation of these positions (including the required operating expenses associated with them) and the reduced targeted agency expenditures will be redirected towards increasing our advertising efforts to further promote Virginia Beach as a year-round destination. Two new full-time Event Coordinator positions are also requested in the TIP Fund. Due to the seasonal nature of many of the large special events occurring in the Resort Area, the CVB requests that the two new positions in the TIP fund be authorized as of April 1, 2017. • Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal Council agenda process. • Recommendations: Approve the attached ordinances. ■ Attachments: Ordinances (2) Recommended Actio l • pproval /\ ;1 Submitting De• . t ent/A•ency: Convention and Visitors Bureau ✓ / City Manager: 1 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $706,385 FROM 2 THE FUND BALANCE OF THE TOURISM ADVERTISING 3 PROGRAM SPECIAL REVENUE FUND FOR 4 MARKETING ACTIVITIES 5 6 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, 7 VIRGINIA, THAT: 8 9 $706,385 is hereby appropriated, with specific fund reserves increased 10 accordingly, from the fund balance of the Tourism Advertising Program Special 11 Revenue Fund To the Convention and Visitor's Bureau's FY 2016-17 Operating Budget 12 for various marketing projects to promote the City as a year-round destination and for 13 marking sponsorship opportunities associated with U.S. Travel Association's IPW 2017 14 event Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia on the day of 2016.

This funding is part of the DBHDS Annual Performance Contract and is restricted to use by the Community Services Board (CSB) for the PSH program. The state funding will provide housing assistance to 52 individuals with a Serious Mental Illness diagnosis who are chronically homeless and meet the income requirements. Individuals will meet the homelessness criteria if they are chronically homeless, at risk of becoming chronically homeless, or are unstably housed and are frequent users of hospital or criminal justice system interventions. The PSH program is a collaborative project with the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation (DHNP) and will provide affordable supportive housing opportunities for very low income adults with serious mental illness. The program goals are: • Promote wellness through integration of care • Prevent and end homelessness • Avoid hospital admissions • Facilitate discharges from institutional facilities • Community integration The PSH program service model is comprised of evidence-based recovery-oriented service delivery models and is rooted in the following key principles: • Choice of housing • Separation of housing and services • Decent, safe, and affordable housing • Access to housing • Flexible, voluntary services ■ Considerations: There is no additional General Fund support required for this program. Per the terms of the award, one new full-time and one new part-time MH/MR Clinician II positions will provide supportive services to assist with acquiring and maintaining housing, and serve as liaisons between landlords, DHNP, and an individual's treatment team. Funding is also provided to support 33% of an existing DNHP Housing Specialist, who will perform rental calculations, mange landlord payments, and perform rental property inspections. The remainder of the award covers rent payments and utility allowances for individuals participating in the program, and office support costs for the clinicians. The first year funding also includes the purchase of one vehicle to accommodate home visits by the clinicians and office set-up expenses for new positions, along with a reserve to assist individuals participating in the program with current and future year costs related to securing, furnishing, and maintaining safe and stable housing. If this funding is accepted and appropriated by City Council, DHS anticipates accepting individuals into the program beginning in October 2016. Over the next 12-to-15 months, the program will house approximately new 4 individuals per month until the program capacity of 52 is reached. As required by the State in the Annual Performance Contract with the CSB, state funding for the PSH Program that is not spent by June 30, 2017 is to be reserved in a separate account, such as in a special reserve in the Fund Balance of the General Fund or carried forward into FY 2017-18 for re-appropriation and use in this program in FY 2017-18 and future years. • Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal Council Agenda process. • Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance • Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval Submitting D: • - it -nt/A•ency: Department of Human Services , tif//--- City Manager: ii :f L 1 AN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT AND APPROPRIATE STATE 2 FUNDS FROM THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF 3 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES 4 WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES TO 5 ESTABLISH A PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING 6 PROGRAM 7 8 WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health Services (DBHDS) has 9 awarded the Virginia Beach Human Services Department an additional $740,195 in 10 ongoing state funding as part of the annual DBHDS Performance Contract to establish a 11 Permanent Supportive Housing Program for very low income adults with serious mental 12 illness, and is not requiring a local funding match. 13 14 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 15 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA THAT: 16 17 (1) $740,195 is hereby accepted from the DBHDS and appropriated,with estimated 18 state revenues increased accordingly, to the FY 2016-17 Operating Budget of 19 the Department of Human Services to implement a Permanent Supportive 20 Housing program including start-up costs; and 21 22 (2) One additional full-time equivalent Clinician position and one part-time Clinician 23 position totaling 1.5 FTEs are authorized in the FY 2016-17 Operating Budget of 24 the Department of Human Services to serve in the new Permanent Supportive 25 Housing program, and the FTEs authorized herein shall be contingent upon the 26 continued state funding.

AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate Funds from the Fund Balance of the Commonwealth Attorney's Federal and State Seized Assets Special Revenue Fund and to Transfer Funds within the FY 2016-17 Operating Budget of the Office of the Commonwealth Attorney to Purchase a Replacement Case Management System MEETING DATE: October 4, 2016 ■ Background: The Office of the Commonwealth Attorney (CWA) needs to replace its existing case management application. The existing case management system is SunGard Integrated Justice Suite/Prosecutor, which was developed 6.5 years ago and has been operational for 3 years. The SunGard application lacks the functionality required by the CWA to efficiently manage the prosecutorial caseload as well as perform data queries and analysis of prosecutorial caseload data contained in the database. CWA has identified 500+ requirements that are needed in the replacement system, many of which are not met by the SunGard system. The CWA has been working with the Department of Information Technology (IT) over the last year to develop the list of requirements and proposal for the replacement case management system. One such requirement is that the replacement system should be able to accommodate the CWA's process to transition to a paperless operation in future years. The CWA is working with the City's IT Department in securing this work product. a Considerations: The estimated cost of the replacement case management system is $365,000. The CWA requests Council approval to transfer $225,000 within the CWA's FY 2016-17 Operating Budget and appropriate $140,000 from the fund balance of the CWA's Federal and State Seized Assets Special Revenue Fund to cover this cost. As of September 13, 2016, the CWA's Federal and State Seized Assets Special Revenue Fund has a fund balance of $753,640. Operating and maintenance costs already budgeted for the existing SunGard system would be used to cover the same for the replacement system. ■ Public Information: Information will be disseminated through the regular Council agenda notification process. ■ Recommendations: Adopt the attached the ordinance. ■ Attachment: Ordinance _ , '1 lj Recommended Action: Approval Submitting D•pa e • s ency: Office of the Commonwealth's Attorney City Manager �J� 1 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FROM THE 2 FUND BALANCE OF THE COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY'S 3 FEDERAL AND STATE SEIZED ASSETS SPECIAL 4 REVENUE FUND AND TO TRANSFER FUNDS WITHIN THE 5 FY 2016-17 OPERATING BUDGET OF THE OFFICE OF THE 6 COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY TO PURCHASE A 7 REPLACEMENT CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 8 9 WHEREAS, the existing case management system in the Office of the 10 Commonwealth Attorney requires replacement as it lacks the functionality required to 11 efficiently manage the prosecutorial caseload as well as perform data queries and analysis 12 of prosecutorial caseload data contained in the database. 13 14 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 15 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA THAT: 16 17 (1) $140,000 from the fund balance of the Commonwealth Attorney's Federal and State 18 Seized Assets Special Revenue Fund is hereby appropriated, with estimated 19 revenue increased accordingly, to partially fund the replacement of the case 20 management system; and 21 (2) $225,000 is hereby transferred with the FY 2016-17 Operating Budget of the 22 Commonwealth Attorney to fund the balance of the cost to replace the case 23 management system.

The City of Virginia Beach is the sponsoring agency for VA-TF2. • Considerations: FEMA has awarded $1,418,582 to VA-TF2 for support of ongoing expenses for a 36 month period from September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2019. The grant does not require a local match. FEMA provides annual funding at levels necessary to maintain current programs as well as funding to expand team capabilities to meet new threats at a heightened state of readiness. This annual preparedness grant continues funding for 2.25 FTEs previously approved by City Council in the current FEMA cooperative agreement grant including 1 full-time position (Admin Technician) and 2 part-time positions (Training Manager and Logistics Manager — Total of 1.25 FTE). The grant provides funding for the continuation of facility lease and expenses, replacement of equipment and supplies, training, formal exercise and travel expenses. Both personnel and equipment resource demands have far exceeded the capacity of the sponsoring agency to cover support costs. FEMA assistance of this magnitude is necessary to maintain VA—TF2 at required performance levels.

LLC [Applicant] THREE FIVE MINISTRIES, INC. [Property Owner] Conditional Change of Zoning (R-15 Residential District to Conditional B-2 Community Business District) 929 First Colonial Road (GPIN 2408605805). COUNCIL DISTRICT— LYNNHAVEN MEETING DATE: October 4, 2016 • Background: The application was deferred from the August 16, 2016 City Council hearing to allow the applicant additional time to address concerns expressed by surrounding residents primarily related to the high volume of traffic along First Colonial Road. The subject site is currently zoned R-15 Residential and developed with a church, constructed in 1950. The applicant requests to rezone the property to Conditional B-2 Community Business District to allow for the redevelopment of the site with a grocery retail establishment, specifically Aldi. The submitted site plan shows the 18,000 square foot building located towards the rear of the site, with the parking area located between the building and First Colonial Road. A substantial landscape buffer will be installed between the building and the adjacent residential properties. Landscaping, including a three-foot in height berm planted with large street trees and shrubs, will be installed along First Colonial Road. Access to the site will be from the existing curb cut which accesses First Colonial Road at a signalized intersection. • Considerations: The site is located within the greater than 75 dB noise zone. Rezoning the site to Conditional B-2 for redevelopment with a grocery retail establishment will remove a residential zoning and an existing assembly use that are both identified as incompatible uses within the Compatible Use Table in Article 18 of the City Zoning Ordinance(Special Regulations in Air Installation Compatible Use Zones). The site is also located within the First Colonial Medical Corridor. The Comprehensive Plan recommends that priority should be given to redevelopment proposals that complement the area's medical and health activities. Staff evaluated this request and believes that due to the property's location in the southern-most portion of the corridor and its close proximity to other retail uses, that this request is appropriate. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation of the request, are provided in the attached staff report. ALDI (N.C.)

LLC Agenda Item D2 Page 1 Background and Summary of Proposal • This request for a Conditional Change of Zoning was deferred at the May 11, 2016 Planning Commission meeting.The applicant requested additional time to address concerns that were raised by property owners in the vicinity of the site, predominately with regard to traffic congestion along First Colonial Road. • The subject site is currently zoned R-15 Residential and is developed with a church building that includes a chapel, offices, and a gymnasium. City records indicate that the church building was constructed in 1950.The metal gymnasium building was added to the site in 1986.The initial Conditional Use Permit for the church was approved in 1962.A second Conditional Use Permit for religious use was approved in 1983. • The applicant requests to change the zoning on the site from R-15 Residential District to Conditional B-2 Community Business District for the purpose of redeveloping the site with a grocery retail establishment. • Site Design o Access to the site will be via an existing signalized entrance along First Colonial Road. o The submitted site layout depicts an 18,850 square-foot building (19,564 square feet including the canopy), located towards the rear of the site. o The proposed parking area will be situated between the building and First Colonial Road,approximately 90 feet from the right-of-way.The 107 planned parking spaces meet the requirements of Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance related to on-site parking. o The conceptual Landscape Plan depicts a berm,three feet in height,to be installed along the First Colonial Road frontage.The berm will be planted with large street trees and screening shrubs. o The existing vegetation on the rear of the site will remain, and supplemental vegetative screening will be installed containing a mix of large evergreen trees, deciduous understory trees, and small evergreen shrubs. o In accordance with the City of Virginia Beach Landscaping Guide, interior parking lot islands will be installed as required throughout the parking lot. o The proposed stormwater management facility is depicted behind the new grocery building. o A freestanding, monument sign is proposed at the entrance to the site and will meet all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. o The loading area will be located on the side of the building,facing First Colonial Road.A dumpster will be located in the loading area and will be screened by a privacy fence with a minimum height of six feet. • Building Design o The submitted building elevations depict a predominately brick facade with EIFS accents near the entrance, a row of horizontal windows on the front facade, and a cornice design feature along the roofline. o The entrance to the building is identified by a change in the roofline, EIFS accent panels, storefront windows and a canopy.A cornice design feature runs along the roofline. o Projected brick columns and decorative horizontal brick accents break up the otherwise expansive brick side walls. o The building signs are shown centered on the EIFS panels over the entrance and on the side of the entry tower feature.These signs will meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital anchors a major medical complex along First Colonial Road from Mill Dam Road south to Republic Road.The area includes medical offices, rehabilitation centers,senior housing and a good mix of non-medical uses such as banks,general offices, places of worship and other neighborhood based services.The Plan recommends that priority be given to infill or redevelopment proposals that complement the area's medical and healthcare activities. (pp. 3-20) Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts The site is located within the Chesapeake Bay watershed.There do not appear to be any significant natural or cultural resources associated with the site.

First Colonial Road is well over capacity as shown in the above traffic volumes information. First Colonial Road is an ultimate six-lane major arterial, 150 feet right-of-way on the MTP. There are no proposed projects for this section of First Colonial Road. Aldi (N.C.)

Sewer The site currently connects to City sewer.There is a 12-inch City gravity main along First Colonial Road. Evaluation and Recommendation This request to change the zoning on the subject site for the purpose of redeveloping the property with a grocery retail establishment is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Guidelines for the First Colonial Medical Corridor. However, Staff believes that due to the property's location in the southern-most portion of the corridor and its close proximity to other retail uses,that this request is appropriate. The site is located within the greater than 75 dB noise zone.Applications in this area are evaluated for compatibility with the uses outlined in the Compatible Use Table in Article 18 of the City Zoning Ordinance (Special Regulations in Air Installation Compatible Use Zones). Review of that table reveals that the proposed commercial zoning and the retail use are compatible with the provisions of Article 18. This request will remove from the highest noise zone, both an incompatible residential zoning and an incompatible existing assembly use from the site. The initial submittal depicted the addition of an outparcel that was to be created at a later date.This outparcel contained 4,950 square-feet of additional retail space.As retail use is recognized as one of the highest traffic generators, and due to the current high volume of traffic along the First Colonial Road corridor,Staff requested that the outparcel be removed from the proposal. In an effort to address ingress/egress safety concerns related to the increase in projected vehicular trips that the grocery store will likely generate,the applicant has entered into an agreement with the adjacent property owner to the north to modify their vehicular ingress/egress point.This will improve access for the applicant's property to an existing right-turn lane,on a road that is already over capacity. Fortunately, egress from the site is already controlled and will continue to be controlled with a traffic signal. In addition,Staff has worked with the applicant to revise the internal layout for the parking lot, incorporating stacking lanes for traffic leaving the site at the existing signal.The site has been designed so that no rear vehicular access is required for potentially disruptive activities such as tractor-trailer deliveries and trash removal. Specifics of the traffic patterns and proposed improvements will be reviewed in more detail during the final site plan review process. According to the applicant's representative,this proposal has been presented to the adjacent commercial and residential property owners and reported to Staff that there is no known opposition to the request.The applicant has proffered a substantially wide, planted buffer behind the proposed building and along the rear parking spaces to sufficiently screen the adjacent residential properties from the future activities on this site.Additionally,the building has been situated nearly 135-feet from the rear property line to minimize the potential for adverse impacts on the existing residential neighborhood. For the reasons stated above, Staff recommends approval of this request as proffered below. Aldi (N.C.) LLC Agenda Item D2 Page 4 Proffers 1.

Conditional Change of Zoning 929 First Colonial Road District 5 Lynnhaven June 8, 2016 REGULAR Jan Rucinski:The last item on the agenda today is D2, an application of Aldi (N.C.), L.LC .for a Conditional Change of Zoning from R-15 Residential to Conditional B-2 Community Business District on property located at 929 First Colonial Road, Lynnhaven district. R.J. Nutter: Thank you very much. Mr.Chairman and members of the Commission, my name is R.J. Nutter. I am an attorney representing the applicant. Thank you. I guess it is a pain that Eddie had to follow me,and everybody knows I have a long winded way about myself, so I guess this is payback. At any rate, I represent the applicant,Aldi, Inc. Aldi is a new company. It has been in the United States now for some time, but it is entering the Virginia and Hampton Roads markets throughout every Hampton Roads city. They are new to us, not just the fact that they are a new company, but,their concept of groceries is dramatically different than anything we've ever witnessed. In fact, it is directly opposite of everything we witnessed with the last 20 years. We've witnessed Food Lions starting out at 35,000 square feet, Farm Fresh is at 40,000 and Harris Teeter is at 60,000 square feet, Kroger is depending which one you pick, anywhere from 55,000—120,000 square feet. And on top of that,you throw Wal- mart Supercenters and in Wegmans,which are about 150,000 square feet and you use the trend where groceries have gone. So when a grocery store comes to you and comes to a neighborhood and says we're only 18,000 square feet,one half the size of the smallest store that first came to this area, and of that,we are only 11,000 square feet of actual retail sales area that is a very different animal and requires a lot of explanation. That is why we have to take the time we've had with the residents around us to explain how all the works and to let them know all about it. In addition to the size differential, it has to do with the fact they are designed not to be a destination, but a convenience store for people who are already going to a market in their area. There is no way they can compete with a 60,000 square foot Teeter because they are only 11,000 square feet retail space. So,they are for people who are already going shopping at the Kroger, Harris Teeter or Wal-mart,and want to have their line of products out a less expensive price, and are frankly,very in tune with their environment,and how they do business. That is a lot of their customer base. As a result,their customer radius is about two miles. And,as a result of that,they are going to have stores planned in Virginia beach on Shore Drive,further down towards the Oceanfront,on Virginia Beach Boulevard in the Thalia area, and I may have missed a few. They are opening up in Kempsysille, and there will be several more after that. In short, people are not going to drive to a destination location where somebody might drive from Kempsville to go to the store. They are not going to be driving from a very long distance.They will be going in route, and the reason for that is because,quite frankly,they are not trying to compete with them. They can't. They have a different model. The net result of that is the traffic that they generate doesn't fit in all of the books. The other thing about them is the traffic they generate is largely traffic that is already on the road to go to that area around Hilltop. In fact, I live in Great Neck,and I will tell you that if you live in that market,you're going to go to Hilltop for your shopping, or for clothes,for any number of items including groceries. And,when you do,you're going to have the opportunity to pass this store,They Item#D2 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 2 found,for instance,that a larger percentage of the people who come to their stores. are already on the road going to another location. There are estimates that over 70 percent of the people who come to their stores, are actually already going down the road to go to someplace else.So,that's a big factor in how, if you look at the book, it will tell you 35 percent. That is based on a traditional grocery store,a much larger sales area,a lot farther to drive area with people going greater distances.So,you can't rely on all the books in this case.We've tried to look at a store in Richmond Virginia on Perham Road. As many of you know, Richmond on Perham Road. A very high traveled road.We picked it because the store has the same trader,a two mile trader. It has a high traffic count per day than first Colonial Road. This is the right store to pick to see how many people come into the store on a daily basis over a weekly time and what are the peak hours for them. What we found was anywhere from 400 to 600 people come to those stores on a daily basis. The other interesting thing is the peak hour is actually at 3:45 and 5:30. It just bleeds over to the next half hour.So,you have very different travel patterns. As you know, they don't open until 9:00 am, so they don't have virtually any am peak hour period traveling period. That is just a small part of the equation of this company and that is what I want you to understand. The biggest part of this just like any application,you know is not based on one issue. It is based on a variety of factors. Here are the factors that I want you to take serious consideration of in addition to what I told you about the traffic situation. First of all,what is the impact on adjacent properties? We always start there. First I will show you, we have 0-2 right next to us on the south,0-2 on the north. We got residential behind us.We have 02 across the street,we have a bank located there, a commercial bank and Bank of America with the largest number of drive-thrus I've ever seen in my entire life.So,to say this is a commercial quarter is a bit a mystery. But to suggest that this be residential redeveloped, is obviously not realistic. A church has already got a Used Permit there, and that church by the way, is about 26,000 square feet and you look at that site and you think boy it's a pretty rare site, a lot of open space. These stores at this location is going to occupy 18,900 square feet,8,000 square foot less of building on this site,than exist today and everyone feels like that is very,very and pleasant site. So, let's talk about the narrative. Not only do we have land uses which are highly compatible with this, and in fact this zoning will eliminate, as your staff points out,two navy issues. It eliminates the R15 zoning that is here, because this is in a 75 plus noise zone. And it eliminates the congregational use,which is also prohibited in the 75 noise zone. So, we're eliminating tow Navy issues here. If you look at from a policy perspective from the Navy,we are in good shape. Now, let me tell you where we started and we met by the way. Long before this application was even advertised, we met with the residents behind us. I am happy to tell you that one of them went out of her way on my promise that she will be out of here by 2:00-2:30, so poor thing. She has taken her time. God bless her. So,we met the residents there,there are six homes along here. Our first thought was that we've got to meet with them and tell them about the Aldi Store. We got to answer all of their questions. We did what they asked us to do,and their input, directly resulted in this site plan. Let me go back to site plan. I will tell you what we did. First of all,we met with them and told them the whole story and we said we are prepared to put a significant buffer in the back. This buffer, by the way, is at its closest point is 130 feet. It is 160 feet at this furthest point. So,this is a buffer like no other. Second,we got a lot of trouble with kids coming back in here and we're very concerned about that. Can you put in heavy landscaping along here, so;we said yes. We will send you our landscaping plan before we submit it to the City,so if you want to revise it, please let us know so we can do that. And we got two comments that we add landscaping on here because there is school is right up here and there is a townhouse development up right here. There are a lot of kids that traverse in this area as they go out to Hilltop in that area. Then they walk on the right-of-way, they just go back here which is all green. So,we put in landscaping to stop that. All of that was done. We also agreed of course,as you can see there are no roads, no drive aisle, there is no nothing behind the Item#D2 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 3 store. In fact, the truck access is here on the other side, next to office. It is located almost inside the building behind a wall and the big bulk of the building. The bay itself is also recessed, and significantly. The trash compactor area is located in that area. All the other things they asked were where is your loading dock area?Where about the machine that move equipment inside the store?Where is that stored? All of that is stored inside the store. So,you are going to be one of the quietist uses we've got out here. If you look and stop right there,we have a situation where we apply with the land use program here, we have met with all the neighbors concerned. We have a better benefit from the Navy perspective. We have given you a great amount of open space. There is a huge amount of buffer here in the front; much more because we agreed to eliminate an out parcel in the front. We took all that out and put in all the landscaping there and all the landscaping in the back. Then when we met with the residents across the street,they had a lot of concerns about traffic. In addition to that, can you add, because we want to be able to get there,a walkway and a bike loading area for us. It lines up directly with the crosswalks that exist today on First Colonial Road. So, all of that was put in at their request, and the president of the Civic League called me and we spoke later that week. He said the civic League is not going to take a position on this case.You've done what we asked you to do,you kindly addressed the issue on First Colonial Road, so,you will have some people come and speak because they are concerned about traffic.Our civic league will not take a position on this case. And that was music to our ears, if you could imagine.That will give you some indication we had our meeting with them where there was over 40-50 people at that meeting. Councilman Wood attended that meeting with us as. Following that meeting,give us two weeks to try to address some of other questions you raised on First Colonial and we will get back to you,and we did. We met with,the Deputy City Manager involved, and we got Jim Wood's help on that if I might add, but we got serious high level attention placed on this intersection. What could be done to make it better?To help not just us, but the more importantly the people across the street. So,they recognize that. I will tell you,that you don't have a lot of people here today, and didn't have them at 12:00,any more than you had them at 4:15. It is some evidence of the face that most people understood that we've done everything that we could do. We have an application of a new company bringing new jobs, and a new capital investment into the area. We go a company that is located at a spot where everybody is fine. Your staff has recommended approval, and your staff recommending approval comes with consideration that traffic engineering weighed in on this application, because we've been making improvements to that light. We're all for making additional improvements there in terms of timing, adding a left turn lane,which we said that if that doesn't help, please don't do it. If it does, we're willing to pay for it. So,you get an applicant that is more than met the standards by which of any application has seen that has come down here to you, and seeks for your recommending of approval. But if you can see,we've also engaged into a large amount of public outreach. I know you've given me some time after the little red light. I appreciate that. I did want to get in outreach applies with all of these programs, and to let you know what we've done, so I will stop. We have several speakers in support. I have some engineers if you have some questions. Two from Kimley- Horn, one on the traffic side. I have Josh Wall,with Aldi Foods. He is from Richmond. He came down today for the hearing. I have Les Watson who represents the church, and how much the church, has participated in this process with us. More importantly, I have Alex, and Alex is just wonderful who stayed all of this time Perecko,to speak in favor,who lives behind it. Finally, I will pass this out. It is a letter of support.There is one from Alex on behalf of her neighbors in the back, additionally met with the property owner on either side of us, on the north and south, and the owners on the north that signed the letter in support of the application. I'll pass those out for you as well. And I'll stop for a second. And let someone else talk, unless you have any questions? Item#02 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 4 Jeff Hodgson: Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Nutter? I have one quick one.You said the church was 26,000 square feet? R.J. Nutter: Total side of the buildings including the gymnasium. Jeff Hodgson: Thank you. Jan Rucinski: Is there any order? R.J. Nutter: I think Mr.Watson wanted to speak briefly for the church, and how much they have gone through, and worked with us and the neighbors. They wanted to make sure the neighbors were addressed correctly as well,as you might imagine. Jan Rucinski: Okay,our first speaker in support is Les Watson. Please state your name for the record. Les Watson: Mr. Chairman, and members of the Commission, my name is a Les Watson. I am a local attorney. I represent the owners of the land,which is the subject of this application. We,of course, support the application. But beyond that, I want to tell you how impressed we are by what we perceive is an incredible level of commitment on the part of Aldi to respond to the concerns of people who live adjacent to this property and near this property. We've been to several meetings, which Aldi has called with the neighbors,and we have watched them respond with compassion and concern to the issues raised by the residents. And I think you will even find that residents who abut the property in the rear may even be here to support the application. That is all that I wanted to tell you. We are very impressed by the way which the way they conducted themselves through the course of this application, and we fully support, and we think this a superb use for this property. Jeff Hodgson: Any questions of Mr.Watson? Thank you sir. R.J. Nutter:Jan, do you mind calling Alex? I promised her.Thank you very much. Jan Rucinski: Our next speaker in support is Alex Perecko. I hope I pronounced that correctly. If you can,just state your name for the record please. Alex Perecko: I am Alex Perecko. I am the owner of the property behind to the right. Basically,they have been very responsive. They had a meeting at the church. Several of my neighbors showed up. We were concerned with lighting. They addressed every concern. We didn't want lights in our backyard at night since the store was going to be open after dark,they told us that the lights they used point down. They time to turn on and cut off.The pedestrian traffic like R.J. mentioned was a huge concern. But they literally emailed their response, and it was in two days. Look at this plan from the landscaper. How does this look? Does it look like cutting it down, and even so far as saying we'll use thorny prickle bushes if it doesn't stop the pedestrian traffic.So very responsive and I actually went up to off of these and faced timed me, so I can see what it is going to look like,and I think it will be a great addition to the neighborhood. I'm hoping I'll be able to get over the thorny bushes, if need be. I'm in full support of it. They have been very cooperative and helpful, and eased everyone's concerns that was ever brought to our attention. Item#D2 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 5 Jeff Hodgson: Are there any questions for Ms. Perecko? I was wondering if you were going to use thorny bushes or poison Ivy? Alex Perecko: Whatever works. Jeff Hodgson:Thanks for spending your whole afternoon with us. Alex Perecko: Thank you very much. Interesting process. Jan Rucinski:The next speaker is support is Mark Boyd. Sir, if you can, please state your name for the record. Mark Boyd: Sure, Mark Boyd with Kimley-Horn. Jan Rucinski: Let us know why you support the project. Mark Boyd: I'm in support of the project. I've been working. I'm the civil engineer for Aldi the last three years. I found it to be a very great client to work with.They are always concerned and accommodating of all requests,and citizen outreach is one of their big deals. We always look at that up front,and try to coordinate with everyone as much as we can. I think they've done everything they can on the site to provide a good use and especially if you tried to mitigate any concerns that some of the citizens have. Jeff Hodgson: Are there any questions for Mr. Boyd? Thank you sir. Jan Rucinski: Our next speaker is, Bill Baggett. Bill Baggett: Excuse me if I am a little nervous. It is my first time. Jeff Hodgson: That's okay. We're nervous too. Jan Rucinski: If you will just state your name for the record. Bill Baggett: William Baggett. I don't know which way to go. Because the improvement I fully support, as long as it is an improvement. But if it is moving parallel or stepping back, my thought would be and the former employers all said the same thing, as long as you're moving forward. My biggest concern is the traffic. For example,any of us going to Virginia Beach General Hospital travel First Colonial Road. It doesn't matter what time of day or night you go, except for maybe 2 or 3 in the morning,you're going to hit traffic. I can't think of how many times I've had to watch fire trucks,emergency personnel, rescue, EMS, police vehicle going from the hospital and took off come back, had to drive down the wrong side of the road just to get to Hilltop. Everything is dumped into Hilltop. Of course you have Hilltop north. Just like the other church,they have four lanes. We have trouble with traffic. I'm hoping it doesn't develop into a similar situation of Independence Boulevard and Virginia Beach Boulevard. My other concern, like I said, I can sit in my family house and I can listen to the sirens and tell you what's going by. I can tell you which direction and how bad the traffic is. But again, you factor in anything else, but it is like the Aldi's representative said, it's a small door. You're already there. You are going to stop and out, similar to a 7-11 grocery store. Again, if we can think about it as best as possible, and do our best foot forward Item#D2 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 6 first,then we won't have to come back and reevaluate two or three years from now. First colonial Road is going to has to be expanded, and in order to expand it,you have to take. So,why not let's take a little farther down the line and once it is done, same project. That makes everybody happy. I thank you for your time. It has been a long afternoon. Mr. Inman, I remember you from Novack Shell. I spent 20 years. I get around. So,thank you everybody. I hope you all have a nice evening. Jeff Hodgson: Are there any questions? Thank you sir. Jan Rucinski: Our next speaker is Valerie Porowski. I did that right? Valerie Porowski:Yes you did. Jan Rucinski: Oh my gracious. Jeff Hodgson: good afternoon. Valerie Porowski: Good afternoon everybody. I can't believe the patience you people have, because I would have lost it a long time ago. I am Valerie Porowski, and I live at Tottenham Lane,which is off of First Colonial Road and we are in the townhouses that are at the traffic light that's across from the section that Aldi wants to move in to. So,we have a problem with traffic going in and out of our area. That's the same place where Bill is also. And, I have written down what I like to say, so I hope you don't mind me reading it? It would be easier for me. I am a resident of Southall corner off of First Colonial Road since 1999. I always wondered why there is so much traffic on First Colonial. It took me a while to realize that it is one of two roads that cars coming from the north from Shore Drive area,can get to the shopping areas or the beach front. They come down Great Neck Road to First Colonial to go to the many shopping centers in the beach front or they stay on Shore Drive, and add many miles to the trip. They go by the state Park at First Story, and down to Atlantic; instead,they go down Great Neck to First Colonial, and then to their destinations. Going from Tottenham Lane,where I live and attempting to take a left on First Colonial is a nightmare at times. There is a traffic light at one of the entrances and exits,the other has no light. If I want to take a right,there is a problem. I can use either egress to take a right but when I want to take a left on to First Colonial Road,at the intersection where there is a light, I cannot get onto First Colonial because things are jammed up many times because the bottleneck starts at the left entrance for the Hilltop shops on First Colonial. So, sometimes we have traffic all the way from the hospital down through First Colonial Road, all the way down to the Hilltop shops. Traffic studies have shown that usage on Frist Colonial Road is more than 140 percent of recommend usage. It was not built to accommodate this many cars with a hospital on First Colonial Road, emergency vehicles using First Colonial,there is no space for cars to get out of the way of these vehicles. And now how they change the lights so they can go through it, it takes a while to get the lights back on cycle. Also living on Tottenham Lane, many drivers think they can beat some of the traffic by cutting down my lane to get to the south Hall and First Colonial intersection. Many times they speed down the road, and don't bother to stop at the stop sign when they get to Southall. I've got many of them to slow down, and got angry responses. In reading the Planning Staff report, "Planning recommends that priority be given to infill and redevelop proposals that complement healthcare activities. " It also states retail brings high traffic and the current traffic volume here is way over capacity now. I'm not against Aldi's but I am against more traffic, which First Colonial Road cannot handle.Of course,therefore, I am greatly against the rezoning of this property at 929 First Colonial Road. Where will the zoning stop? It may just continue up Item#D2 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 7 First colonial Road towards the hospital and then to Great neck Road. Please don't change the zoning. We don't need any more grocery stores in the area.We have more than enough. Thank you in advance for anything you can do to alleviate our traffic problems. And thank you for your time for listening to me! Jeff Hodgson: Are there any questions for Ms. Porowski? Thank you ma'am. Valerie Porowski: You're welcome. Jan Rucinski: Our next speaker in opposition is Douglas Murdock.Would you please state your name for the record? Douglas Murdock:Yes. My name is Douglas Murdock and I am speaking on behalf of my mother,who is Beth Murdock. She lives at Tottenham Lane. She has lived there since 1990. And I am also a resident of Virginia Beach. So, I am speaking on her behalf. Edward Weeden: Can you get closer to the mic? Douglas Murdock: Yes. Okay. And first I would like to say that I'm sorry to see the church being torn down. It is icon there. It is a smart business and eventually it is going to go under like bigger churches, let's say. So,first of all, I like to say that I read the applicant report, and there were a few discrepancies. Namely when they were talking about First Colonial Road. We are to the end of the applicant, and very little was said about us because we are not abutting the property. We are adjacent. I believe we're adjacent because we are east of it. But we don't abut the property, so you hear mostly about what's going on behind Athen's Property north and south. Our neighborhood is Southall Court,and is Southall Court Road where the light is. On the other side of the road is Tottenham.There is an entrance way out and in out of there, but there is no light. You can't put a light there because you can't put one there is is too close to Westwood traffic light. So,therefore,they ended up putting a light out there by the 1990s. When you take a left,yes a peak times,you can't hardly get on. You really have to fight to get in there, because the blockage is going from Wolfsnare Road all the way down to Southall Road. And,you kind of got to wait for to ease out to loosen up so you can work your way in there. Now,with that being said, the applicant didn't state there was a major hospital there. He just stated there are homes there. That is also a main corridor for the fire and rescue squad. Like I said,the cycle goes in and out all the time and that is just the extra turn as well.That is all that I have to say. Thank you. Jeff Hodgson: Thank you sir. Are there any questions? Thank you sir. Jan Rucinski: That is the last speaker. Mr. Nutter if you would like to rebut? R.J. Nutter:Thank you very much. And I will be very brief like I told you. As I told you,we took every one of these very seriously and that is why we deferred this last month to look at that, and the reason why I have their engineers here, in case there were any questions about it. But what we found is that the traffic generation from this store is to be diminius compared to many of the other uses that could be there. The other thing that we found,actually speaks to what Dr. Kwasny said,that sometimes when there is an application that directs the City's attention, to solve these problems. I will tell you in many years of appearing before you and Council, I can't tell you that I've seen any much any more attention Item#D2 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 8 paid to the right of Southall and First Colonial than I have than I have in the last 30 days. The City is serious. They looked at a number of opportunity to make that better,and they feel that all they can add to that can help solve those problems. No matter what we do, we're going to have a traffic impact there.And, I'll give you a little story about the value of this property. One night Jim Wood told us, "look if you want to talk about a problem, let me talk to you about a church?" The Wave church up the road or Spring Branch Church up on the road on great Neck Road, so because this is a low attendance today doesn't meant that it couldn't be a mega attendance tomorrow with the same exact zoning with no input whatsoever from the City. The other thing is,and this is an actual fact, when Aldi came to this property, it was actually under contract with Remke. Remke wanted to put two retail uses on it.And, it wanted Aldi to be one of those two uses. I told Aldi that would not work.That this had to be a low intensity type use,so they bought out the contract from Remke to prevent that type activity from occurring. Not many people could do that. Quite frankly,they were committed to this site,this location. They feel strongly about it, but I will tell you those are the kind of uses you're going to see coming to this site. And this is why this application is so insignificant. It is among the smallest retail uses that you can have. It will provide the largest amount of open space of any property within the entire region including the hospital property I might add.They eliminated the out parcel and frankly,they didn't because the problem on First Colonial Road. They can't solve the problem on First Colonial Road.The city has to solve the problem, and you can't shut down development along that roadway because of the traffic issue. There is a street down every single one of your districts and there is a traffic count where there is excess traffic on, and that if that is the measure,we can all go home early because that will be the measurable what we do. This application comes to you with staff recommendation for approval. It is an application that has reached out to the neighbors that the neighbors supported on all sides of it,and reached out to the civic league across the way. The point that the civic league takes no position, because of the action has all been taken both on the site plan and as well as with the City trying help to solve traffic problem. We can't change the graphics of what's there. We can help solve it. That is why the civic league really voted to take no position. They felt like we've done all we could, and nobody could do more. So, I'm happy and proud to represent them. They've done a great job. I would tell you that because of the high percentage of cross over traffic,there will be some increase in traffic over by the way,just what this church provides. If you put a similar use on it, the traffic will actually go down,so if you put an office use on it,the increase traffic beyond and that would be destination traffic. New people come in because there are new doctors. There are new lawyers.There are new politicians.That is where Mr. Forbes office is. All of that will be coming to that location. Rather than driving by on the way to their other locations. So, we urge your support. We're happy and proud to have staffs recommendation of approval, and we urge you to support your staff as well. Jeff Hodgson: Thank you. That was it? Jan Rucinskl:That was it. Jeff Hodgson: We're going to close the public and open it up for discussion. Not everyone speak at once. Mike Inman: Okay. Jeff Hodgson: Mr. Inman. Item#D2 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 9 Mike Inman: It seems to me they have reached out to all the effected by groups and responded to calls and requests for meeting,and worked things out, in a successful way,for the most part. Now,you look at, and I'm really convinced by the fact that there is going to be some use there of that property and there is going to be a commercial use. Is this perhaps the lowest impact that we can have? Because I do believe that it makes sense to me that people are already traveling in that area to another destination to multiple allies on the list to stop by. So, sole destination in terms of generation of traffic by this particular use, it may not appear to be to some and, so minimal use in terms of the amount of structure that is put on the size of the site. So, I know we have an issue there with First Colonial Road, no question about it. I experience it like the people here in the audience, and on the Commission, it needs attention, and this is going to get some attention. I think this is going to help bring some attention. All of the discussion that has been had to the traffic light situation, and the attention of expansion, I suppose of First Colonial. I would support the application. Jeff Hodgson: Ms. Oliver. Dee Oliver: And I think you've all done a good job as far as buffers and the neighbors behind with this application. I don't have any problem with it. But I do have a problem with is the amount of traffic and that it is our medical corridor that protects those areas of the city. They keep them such that they are a medical corridor for a lot of reasons. It makes sense to have medical offices next to the hospital. We have a fire department on Old Donation. It is a main thoroughfare road from Mill Dam and Great Neck and First Colonial Road. The traffic there is so bad,and even though with the turn lanes added for Southall,and all of that. They've done a great job. When you're there by the time it backs up at Southall, it backs up at Wolfsnare. It backs up with Republic. It backs up at First Colonial. It is a nightmare and you're trying to get rescue squad down there, and God forbid if it is one of us in the back of that truck,or the fire department has to get through and they can switch the lights because my daughter runs rescue. There is no doubt about it. But then it just backs up even more after the fact. It used to be it was just rescue going to the hospital. They are having so many problems rescue leaving the hospital and trying to get back out into the City. It doesn't make sense that would cause more congestion, and even though it is minimal, I totally agree, but it is 400 to 600 cars more. Traffic is already stated the fact that we are so far over in capacity for that road. I don't even understand how we did that. And,then we are going to add more to it, and the peak hours within the school zone and people leaving the offices,so; at 3:45 to 5:00 everybody,the doctors are leaving,the shift changes and at the hospital. The schools are letting out. You have Cape Henry and Cox using that road. We have First Colonial using that road. We got the elementary school,which started causing problems from the beginning. And you have Hilltop. I know for a fact that when I'm on that road, I'll look at it and it is easier for me to loop through up to Great Neck, cut back through London Bridge and go back down to get around that. It is less time and I'm covering more area. I don't' know the solution. I don't think this is going to help. I think it is going to make it worse, and I think at one point as a public safety and that is where our closest hospital is and one of our main fire department,we should take that into consideration when we are looking at this corridor. And, for that, I can't support it. I'm sorry. Jeff Hodgson: Anybody else? Mr. Redmond? David Redmond: A couple of things. The responsibility of this goes back for decades. This road would have been widened decades ago in my view,so here is not fixing that. With regard to the use, I think this is a substantial site improvement, landscaping is going to be an awful lot better. The site is frankly Item#D2 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 10 oversized for the use. You wouldn't be able to have that big buffer in the front and that big buffer in the rear if it weren't. So I think 18,000 foot building, which is essentially the size of a Petsmart,to give you an equivalent, is not at all an outrageously sized use on property of that size.The way this particular market works is that people don't do their weekly shopping there. It is typically a 2, 3,4 items, and my guess is the vast majority of traffic that is coming to that store is going to be coming off First Colonial Road because it is on First Colonial Road.That is why they want to be there to capture all of that. There are much larger and much more comprehensive supermarkets within a one mile radius that would capture a lot larger sale of a trip.This is a much more convenience oriented supermarket.Smaller produce, smaller fish, smaller meats, smaller dry good,can goods. Somebody is going to go in and get a can of salmon,toilet paper,and bottled water, costing$12 bucks or whatever. But it is typically is not $150 grocery bill for a family of 4 for the week, so I am confident that the vast majority of the traffic is already there. It is not going to add much. Frankly,there are uses that could be far worse. From all the things we would like to see buffering, landscaping, setbacks,walking path, all of those things were done. But I've never seen in a supermarket that didn't have a lot load in the rear. There is an awful lot of thought and care, I think,that went into that site plan to make it as accommodating as possible. So, I think it has a lot to offer. I don't see,quite frankly, anything with regard to the application that would cause me not to support it. So, as Mr. Inman, I intend to support the application. Thank you Mr. Chairman. Jeff Hodgson: Is there anybody else? Mr. Ripley? Ronald Ripley: One of the things that Dave mentioned,that I was going to mention as well, is the intensity of use here is really very mild. It is 5,400 square feet an acre. If you did an office building,you would do at least 20,000 square feet an acre, I think, and here you probably have about 60,000-70,000 square feet in there that could employ 300-400 people in there depending on whatever. So, it looked like tome a very low intense development, so,just picking up from what you said. That was my comment. Jeff Hodgson: Mr. Horsley. Donald Horsley: I agree with that, and the intensity of the use is low, but what really drove my attention this morning when they had the picture up there. We got a lot of vacant land left on First Colonial Road that is not developed.So, I'm hoping that somebody higher up than we are is going to see that we need to do something about traffic on First Colonial Road because you can see these large parcels that are undeveloped, and we got some redevelopment that is going to occur down there too,just like this piece of property. But I think we need to send a message that we need to start thinking about what to do about the traffic on First Colonial Road, but I am going to support the application. Jeff Hodgson: Mr.Wall Jack Wall: I think it is kind of an odd use. It seems like we would want to preserve our medical office. It is predominately medical office area for protecting that. Being a medical corridor, and an office area with minimal business, a community business, but at the same time it seems like it is a low intensity use and I don't' think it is really going to make the traffic that much worse. Jeff Hodgson: Ms. Rucinski. Item#D2 Aldi (N.C.), L.L.C. Page 11 Jan Rucinski: I think what's happening with that medical thing that there has been so much new development that Princess Anne out by the new hospital that people are leaving that corridor and moving out. I noticed the last time that I was by there. There are a lot of vacancies. I was surprised because I have a couple of doctors over there that is there no longer. So, I think maybe that corridor may be in a transition. Jeff Hodgson: Mr. Redmond. Dave Redmond: Mr. Chairman, I move approval of the application. Mike Inman: Second. Jeff Hodgson: A motion made by Commissioner Redmond to approve the application and seconded by Commissioner Inman. Bob Thornton: Ed, I'm not voting on this. My company represents the applicant. Karen Kwasny: I completely over this parcel, because Mr. Nutter used to call my name to testify for the rationale here, and I don't'want to sound like I'm sliding back on that particular thought that I felt there. But because I see so much available here, I'm more concerned about this is one of those things were I'm concerned about precedence,and whether or not we put something in and then we start the ball rolling. I don't think traffic, I'm not saying stormwater management is easy to handle or gets the priority, but I think traffic is probably underneath that in terms of the priority list. It is down below that even further. And, I don't think it gets addressed and because it requires funding from outside sources, not from the developer. I think to start the ball rolling and precedence for this area that could be very negative in its impact following this, so, I cannot support it because of that. I feel it does create further traffic. It creates further problem and may create more of one if we have more of that type of thing coming in. Thanks for letting comment.

Up to seven employees will be onsite during any one working shift. • Considerations: As the site is located within the Corporate Landing Business Park, the proposal will be subject to the recorded proffers and the Corporate Landing Design Criteria. All such development is reviewed for consistency with these guidelines by the Virginia Beach Development Authority. The site is a compatible use within the greater than 75 dB DNL noise zone. The facility is also compatible with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for SEGA 3 — South Oceana in regards to economic development opportunities for this area. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation are provided in the attached Staff report.

Agenda Item 10 Page 1 Background and Summary of Proposal • The subject site is zoned Conditional I-1 Light Industrial and is part of the Corporate Landing Business Park. This property is subject to recorded proffers that specify permitted uses, architectural design and site layout elements. • All sites within Corporate Landing are subject to the Corporate Landing Design Criteria which address setbacks; parking areas; loading areas; building orientation; design and materials; landscaping requirements; and signage. Accordingly,simultaneously with the final site plan review,the building's elevations and the site layout must be reviewed and approved by the Virginia Beach Development Authority for consistency with the aforementioned criteria. • The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit on this 3.5-acre parcel to construct an approximately 20,700 square-foot Fiber Optics Transmission Facility on a 3.5-acre parcel. A Conditional Use Permit is required for a Fiber Optics Transmission Facility within the I-1 Light Industrial District. • This proposed facility will house the first transoceanic fiber cable station in the Mid-Atlantic region. Telefonica, Microsoft and Facebook have all partnered in this operation. The first cable will link Virginia Beach and the rest of the United States to Spain, while a second cable is proposed to link the United States with Brazil. • The site will be accessed via a joint ingress/egress easement, 36 feet in width,from Corporate Landing Parkway. A potential second access point from a future roadway to the northeast is possible once that road is constructed. • A large truck turn-around is depicted on the layout plan to accommodate the maneuvers of large vehicles,as the proposed shared access will provide a single means of ingress and egress for the site.The turn-around area is proposed to be screened from view with a mix of tree and shrubs. • The proposed elevation depicts a 27-foot tall building with exterior building materials of precast concrete walls, red brick veneer and a metal roof with aluminum fascia. • The main entrance to the building will be located along the western façade. The loading area with a single eight- foot high roll-up door,the fuel tanks,the dumpster,the generators, and two large areas(each approximately 1,300 square feet)for the condensers that will keep the equipment inside the building cool are all depicted on the eastern side of the building. This side of the building faces the Green Flash Brewery currently under construction. • The condensers will be screened from view from the right-of-way with an eight-foot brick wall.The dumpster screen is proposed as a seven-foot brick veneer wall with metal swing doors. A generator transformer and associated diesel tank are proposed to be screened from view with plant material. • Two approximately 4,000 square-foot future building expansions are depicted on both the north and south sides of the building. Any future expansions will require a modification of this Conditional Use Permit. • Within the facility,there will be two colocation/teleconferencing rooms,two battery rooms,a control room,a reception area, a meeting room,office space, a kitchenette and storage space. Telxius Cable USA, Inc. Agenda Item 10 Page 2 • Up to seven employees will be onsite during any one shift. The 14 parking spaces depicted on the layout are sufficient to satisfy the requirements of Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance for onsite parking spaces. • Seven existing large canopy trees will remain along Corporate Landing Parkway. Required foundation, parking lot interior and street frontage plantings are depicted on the submitted Landscape Plan. Supplemental plantings throughout the site are also proposed. All landscape and screening requirements will be reviewed in more detail during the final site plan review process. Telxius Cable USA, Inc.

The Plan identifies this SEGA as a special area with significant economic value and growth potential, (page 2-87). All development within this area must align with the City's AICUZ provisions and the Oceana Land Use Conformity program. Measures to mitigate negative impacts on adjoining stable residential areas must be part of any development proposal in this area. Mitigation measures should include adequate screening, and light and noise attenuation in building and site design. Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts This subject site is located in the Southern Rivers watershed. There do not appear to be any significant natural or cultural features associated with the site. Traffic Impacts street lame Present Volume Presentap y - Generate `rbc Corporate Landing Parkway 8,600 ADT' 13,100 ADT 1(LOS°"C") Existing Land Use 2—266 ADT 22,800 ADT'(LOS°"E") Proposed Land Use 3-25 ADT 'Average Daily Trips 2 as defined by 3.5 acres of 3 as defined by a telecommunication 4 LOS=Level of Service I-1 Industrial property facility with seven employees Telxius Cable USA, Inc. Agenda Item 10 Page 4 Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Corporate Landing Parkway in the vicinity of this application is considered a four-lane divided local street. The existing infrastructure currently resides in a 100-foot right-of-way. The MTP proposes a four-lane facility within a 100-foot right- of-way, so the roadway is currently built out. There are no roadway CIP projects slated for this section of road. Public Utility Impacts Water The site must connect to City water. There is an existing 12-inch City water main along Corporate Landing Parkway. Sewer The site must connect to City sanitary sewer. There is an existing eight to 12-inch City water main and a 12-inch City sanitary sewer force main along Corporate Landing Parkway. Evaluation and Recommendation This request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Fiber-Optic Transmission Facility is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for SEGA 3—South Oceana, and is consistent with the provisions of the Land Use Compatibility Table in Article 18,AICUZ, of the Zoning Ordinance for a site located within the greater than 75 dB DNL noise zone. This property is located in the "Research and Development" section of the Corporate Landing Master Land Use Plan and, as such, the proposed communications facilities is identified as a permitted activity within this section of Corporate Landing Industrial Park. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a Conditional Use Permit is required for a Fiber Optics Transmission Facility within the I-1 Light Industrial District. A cross-access easement will be recorded between this parcel and the adjacent parcel to the north as a shared entrance between these two sites is proposed. Staff recommends that if, in the future, a second access is established to a future roadway for this site,that the proposed truck turn-around area be removed and replaced with plant material. In order to ensure a continued high level of aesthetics as one travels along Corporate Landing Parkway,Staff recommends a condition that in the meantime, no truck parking be permitted between the front façade of the building and Corporate Landing Parkway. Until such time that the second access is installed, the turn-around will be screened with plant material. According to the applicant,the proposed generator transformer on the site will routinely run for maintenance reasons. Due to its location in close proximity to the adjacent brewery, Staff recommends a condition that the applicant submit a maintenance schedule of the generator to the Virginia Beach Development Authority for review and approval. Technology-based businesses, such as the proposed Fiber-Optics Transmission Facility, have the potential to transform the economy of Virginia Beach. The first cable associated with this facility will link the United States with Spain. Shortly after, a second cable will be installed that will link the United States with Brazil. The Economic Development Authority has worked with industry leaders, such as the applicant and their partners,to cluster similar industries within the Corporate Landing Business Park. It is the City's desire that similar facilities choose Virginia Beach and the Corporate Landing Business Park for their operations. Staff finds the proposed use appropriate for the subject site and does not anticipate any negative impact to the adjacent properties. Based on the considerations above,Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below. Telxius Cable USA, Inc. Agenda Item 10 Page 5 Recommended Conditions 1.

COUNCIL DISTRICT— ROSE HALL MEETING DATE: October 4, 2016 • Background: This application was previously deferred from the September 6, 2016 City Council hearing as issues regarding the Navy's restrictive easement were identified. The applicant has operated the Young Veteran's Brewing Company on the subject site since 2013. The applicant intends to expand the business to approximately 6,000 square feet. The Zoning Ordinance was amended in October 2014 to add Craft Breweries as a Conditional Use within the I-1 Light Industrial District. As a result, a Conditional Use Permit is now required for the expansion. The expansion will include a tasting room, office space, manufacturing space, storage space etc. • Considerations: The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use goals for South Oceana — SEGA 3, and is a compatible use in the 70-75 dB DNL noise zone according to Article 18, AICUZ, of the Zoning Ordinance. On October 15, 2016, the applicant met with the Navy in regards to compatibility concerns with the restrictive easement that exists on the subject property. Since that time, the applicant and the Navy have developed a plan to bring the proposed Craft Brewery into compliance with the easement. As a result of this compliance inquiry, Staff has recommended several changes including a revision to the site layout to remove the proposed outdoor seating, the prohibition of food trucks, and the elimination of live performences onsite. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation are provided in the attached Staff report. Thomas Wilder Page 2 of 3 • Recommendations: The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of this request. 1.

The operation currently occupies one suite (104), with approximately 2,000 square feet within an existing industrial warehouse building. The Zoning Administrator has determined that the retail area permitted as an accessory use on the site is limited to 10%of the gross floor area of the business. • The applicant desires to expand the business to include two additional suites (102, 103) for a total of approximately 6,000 square feet. Suite 107 will also be occupied by Young Veterans Brewing Company for office space, and is not included in this Conditional Use Permit request. • The Brewery began operating on the site as a Beverage Manufacturing establishment. On October 7, 2014,the Zoning Ordinance was amended to add Craft Breweries as a Conditional Use within the I-1 Light Industrial District. As a result, a Conditional Use Permit is now required for the expansion. • The expansion will include a 750 square-foot tasting room, a 400 square-foot cooler, office space, manufacturing space, storage space, an outdoor seating area and a 352 square-foot copper art shop. No changes are proposed to the exterior of the existing building. • Proposed hours of operation are 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday; 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday; and 12:00 p.m.to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday. • Beverages will be available for on-site consumption within the tasting room, which will only serve beers produced by Young Veterans Brewing Company.

The Plan identifies this SEGA as a special area with significant economic value and growth potential, (page 3-32, Policy Document). All development within this area must align with the City's AICUZ provisions and Oceana Land Use Conformity program. Measures to mitigate negative impacts on adjoining stable residential areas must be part of any development proposal in this area. Mitigation measures should include adequate screening, and light and noise attenuation in building and site design. Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. As the site is fully developed with an office warehouse and associated parking,there do not appear to be any significant natural or cultural features associated with the site.

The existing 1.5-inch meter(City ID#95067436) may be used or upgraded to accommodate the proposed development. Sewer The site is currently connected to City sanitary sewer service. Evaluation and Recommendation The applicant's request to expand the existing brewery is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use goals for South Oceana—SEGA 3, and is compatible with the provisions of the Land Use Compatibility Table in Article 18,AICUZ, of the Zoning Ordinance for a site located within the 70-75 dB DNL noise zone. The Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code requires noise attenuation measures be incorporated into all structures within the high noise zones. In Staffs opinion, that this use is appropriate for the location, and does not anticipate any negative impacts to adjacent property owners. Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below. Thomas Wilder Agenda Item 1 Page 3 Recommended Conditions 1.
