October 18, 2016 24 CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS SOUTHEASTERN PARKWAY UPDATE ITEM#66419 4:41 P.M. Mayor Sessoms welcomed Phil Pullen, Public Works. Mr. Pullen expressed his appreciation to the City Council for their continued support and distributed a copy of the presentation, which is attached hereto and made a part of this record. Mr. Pullen advised the presentation is to provide updated information on the Southeastern Parkway (SEPG) and address four (4) questions: is the SEPG still a viable and permitable regional limited access roadway; are there segments of the SEPG alignment that have independent utility as roadway segments; are there other future/potential uses for the SEPG right-of-way; and, what is the estimated sale value of the parcels that could be sold within the SEPG right-of-way? The SEPG has been divided into five (5) segments and the traffic analyzed for volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio. The segments that show high V/C are Segment 3: Dam Neck to Princess Anne Road(specifically between Holland and Princess Anne Roads approaching capacity); Segment 4: Princess Anne to Indian River Road (specifically Elbow Road is over capacity); and, Segment 5: Indian River to the Chesapeake City Line (again Elbow Road is over capacity). The recommendation is to widen Elbow Road to six (6) lanes or combine Segments 4 and 5 and create a new East/West connector. Robin Brandenburg, City Real Estate Agent advised the total footprint of the SEPG is 525 acres. 313 acres are publically owned and 262 acres are City-owned property. Of the 262 acres owned by the City, 96 acres are defined "wetlands." By initial calculations, it appears as though the City has a surplus property in each of the five segments. Brian Solis, Transportation and Transit Planning Manager, provided an overview of the existing and planned land use. The review of the ITA Master Plan just began and this information will be helpful in updating the Plan. The property located within the Princess Anne Commons Corridor can be utilized for the Biomedical initiative. Mr. Pullen advised the Staff's recommendation is to remove Segments 1, 2 and most of Segment 3 from the SEPG and Master Transportation Plan. Mayor Sessoms thanked Mr. Pullen, Ms. Brandenburg, Mr. Solis and the entire Team for their hard work.

However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, Towne Bank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Town Realty, which is an affiliate of Towne Bank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is his practice to thoroughly review each City Council agenda to idents any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a `personal interest", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of January 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record. October 18, 2016 50 Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED,for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank. Three (3)years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial')purchased Resource Bank. On March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a "personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the record.

However, to meet the overall objective of the Overlay District, the Applicant has chosen to build four(4) cottages. The North Beach Civic League is in favor of this request. Jane Arrington, 208 76th Street, Phone: 422-1516, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mrs. Arrington does not object to two single family homes being built on the property but objects to four single family homes being built. The street cannot handle the additional run-off and this should not be approved. Joyce Walsh, 218A 76th Street, Phone: 641-2561, spoke in OPPOSITION. Ms. Walsh expressed concern for the increased stormwater runoff. This street is quant and quiet but this fourplex will change the integrity of their street.

This is a small street with only one lane and the additional homes are not wanted on this road. Barbara Messner spoke in OPPOSITION to the uncontrolled growth in the North End.

What began as a vision for a 'downtown' as set out in the 1991 Central Business District Master Plan led to the establishment of the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District and the development of the Virginia Beach Town Center. it _,-_-________.

In order to determine how to manage and achieve this growth, the City adopted master plans for each of its Strategic Growth Areas. The Pembroke Strategic Growth Area 4 Implementation Plan Page 1-1/CBC District Design Guidelines January 2014Amended October 2016 DUCTION (referred to in this document as the Pembroke SGA Plan) was adopted in 2009 to establish a shared, long term vision - and an implementation strategy to achieve that vision - for the Pembroke SGA. The Plan divides the Pembroke SGA into six `urban districts,' with each district possessing a slightly different purpose and design character. The `CBD/Core' District is envisioned as a strong urban nucleus with high density, commercial development that will serve as a focal point for region-serving retail, hotel, and office uses while also creating an urban skyline for Virginia Beach. As development moves away from the Core district, land use densities will decrease, but the urban framework continues. The creation of this urban framework, particularly when the existing `canvas' is suburban, requires a combination of appropriate zoning regulations and design guidelines that address both the public and private realm. Pu pose The purpose of the Central Business Core District Design Guidelines is to: 2 �. t' 1`� .�� t` t' a. Assist property owners and developers regarding appropriate site, building, and sign ', , . ,�-.• ' r design for the District. r h' i ' t b. Encourage innovation and creativity in the "' ``r► - 4 I r� design and use of sites, buildings, and signage in ,, r , T1. - it the District; ‘1� � `t r' ' ti` +t. c. Enhance the visual appeal, and thus the general ambience of the District, making it a more pleasant place for residents and visitors; f��r y... d. Encourage replacement of legally, .,rrr;,4: nonconforming buildings and signage with `! rt"' those that meet the new zoning regulations and the Design Guidelines; CMSS Architects 2009 e. Enable an alternate means by which a development can comply with zoning regulations and achieve the goals of those regulations without following a strictly prescribed form. These Design Guidelines are not mandatory requirements; they are voluntary and strongly encouraged. Page 1-2 /CBC District Design Guidelines January 2014Amended October 2016 INTRODU STION 1 Applicability As noted above, these Guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the zoning regulations of the Central Business Core (CBC) District (Article 22 of the City Zoning Ordinance). In addition to the specific regulations for the Central Business Core (CBC) District, there are two other sets of available provisions for development. The first of these, "Optional Forms of Development," is a by-right option by which one or more of the prescribed (required) forms may be altered or even eliminated if certain building features and/or elements described in these Guidelines are provided. The OFD provisions in Section 2206 are intended to provide the opportunity for a different, but equally desirable, means of accomplishing the same end result as would be provided by the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. The second provision, "Special Exception for Alternative Compliance," applies to development proposals that, while not conforming to the applicable Design Guidelines, are nonetheless visually attractive and advance the goals of the District. Therefore, in recognition that not all design criteria in these Guidelines may be workable or appropriate for every design, the Alternative Compliance provisions of Section 2205 may be used as an alternative to strict conformity with the Design Guidelines and with the Code. Such decisions will be made by City Council on a case-by-case basis with the overall purposes of the Design Guidelines and the Code as the guiding principles. flev- lopment Principles These Guidelines are based on the following Development Principles as provided in the Pembroke Strategic Growth Area 4 Implementation Plan: I. Efficient use of land resources Applying the land use techniques of compact development, infill development, and shifting toward more structured parking areas are key components to successfully achieving a more efficient pattern of growth. The benefits include reduced sprawl, protection of existing stable neighborhoods, increased protection of farmland and open spaces, reduced dependency on the automobile and more cost-effective use of existing infrastructure. Page 1-3/CBC District Design Guidelines January 2011Amended October 2016 1 INTR•DUCTION 2. Full use of urban services Compact development patterns mean more people will benefit from using existing public infrastructure and services such as roads, schools, water, sewer, police, fire, rescue and others. While expansion of some existing facilities and services will be necessary, the findings of many studies across the county show that, in the long, run, low-density sprawl costs more tax dollars to serve than does compact development. 3. Compatible mix of uses Providing a complementary and vertical blend of residential and non-residential uses within reasonable walking distances of one another is an important part of a successful compact development strategy. Effective mixed-use developments also have a `critical mass' where the mixture of uses is such that the need for an automobile for routine trips for goods and services is significantly diminished. Architectural design considerations and controlling the hours of business operations must be factored into the land use strategy. 4. Transportation opportunities Compact development patterns afford greater choice of transportation alternatives and less overall congestion than is otherwise experienced in communities that are almost exclusively suburban. This contributes to decreased dependence on the automobile, especially the single occupied vehicle, reduction in citywide vehicle miles traveled, increased opportunities for more efficient and cost-effective forms of shared and mass transportation and opportunities to commute by walking or biking. Other opportunities include local and metropolitan transit systems to link to regional and interstate transportation systems which leads to cleaner air and safer travel. 5. Detailed human-scale design Urban areas that are safe, 3"- well-designed, and attractive . , are a key community goal. ' 'Xi It is important for these i.. q }p rrA%ie _ h areas to be built at a '= a. `human-scale,' especially as _ #" as ri1!

Urban streetscapes are designed CMSS Architects 2009 Page 1-4 /CBC District Design Guidelines January 2011Amended October 2016 INTRODU STION 1 with special paving, landscaping, lighting, and other features that create an interesting and inviting environment. When designed and built with quality in mind, these physical elements galvanize to foster a positive sense of urban place, one that is enjoying a resurgence of public interest in many communities across the country. As is the case in nature, cities evolve and gradually adapt to changes in their physical environment. 6. Environmental stewardship Sustaining the urban setting requires public and private involvement in improving and maintaining the various components of the natural and built infrastructure. Private development practices utilizing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design TM (LEED) and other certification type construction have now been incorporated into public planning practice. Many rural and suburban municipalities promote it—this through incentives, while major metropolitans incorporate *-sustainable building practices into their ordinance, regulations and planning documents.

Accordingly, their design should be of the highest quality and should ensure that they are intended for all of modes of transportation —from the motor vehicles that traditionally travel along most of the width of the street, to the bicycles that share that width, to the pedestrian that travels the sidewalk along the edge. Design Principle 5, presented earlier in these Guidelines, 1111 EnI11 stresses the importance of streets and the creation of the y 1� 11 11 `streetscape that frames each street: --- -- - Urban areas that are safe,well-designed, and attractive are a Pw j' -r. .. .. key community goal. It is important for these areas to be , �� :: :: built at a`human-scale,'especially as people experience �o activity along the streets, sidewalks,and public spaces.` V Urban streetscapes are designed with special paving, i 114,1' landscaping, lighting,and other features that create an +'k p interesting and inviting environment. Design is important for all facets of the streetscape, including the overall street network, the number and width of vehicular travel lanes, and an especially careful consideration of the sidewalk element, which contains much more than just a paved walking path. These Guidelines promote streets that are integral components of the overall urban design of the District. As new streets are created, continue the grid pattern established in Town Center and reinforced in the Pembroke SGA Plan. Expanding the public street network will ; provide alternate travel routes and open " up parcels for higher density development with greater visibility.

Building placement, massing, and appearance define this relationship. Each building's architectural style, form, rhythm of bays and openings, architectural details, exterior materials, textures, and color work together to provide an environment that encourages pedestrians to linger and experience everything around them. Design elements such as windows, awnings, canopies, seating, and the extension of interior uses, such as dining, into the sidewalk area create an active street environment that makes for a great urban place. The street is often described by urban designers as "a Placement large outdoor room." The ability to shape this room exists on every street, and its walls are defined by the primary facades of its buildings, which create a street wall. The proximity of the building to the street (placement) and the continuity of buildings placed along the street create the street wall, which is one of the most important components of an urban area. To maintain a consistent street wall, avoid ':14. large gaps between buildings, unless the M f 3 area is used for outdoor amenity space, 1 - �, such as a plaza or forecourt. 3 r ti), i — ff el— is. e. . ,, a�. a....: „.; .tie e!! :;..,..

I How building mass is distributed on a site usually has the Mas greatest impact on a project's overall appearance and on the strength of the street wall. Breaking the footprint of a large building into smaller parts and varying a building's height through the creation of smaller structures or facades is a valuable concept when designing large projects that consume half a block or more. Sculpting a building's massing can also help avoid big bulky structures that result in visual monotony rather than visual interest. It is the well-balanced variety of building massing and textures of shadow, light, and material that, in total, add to the richness of the District's built environment.

Similarly, if signs are i placed too closely to each other, they all compete for attention (a phenomenon Multiple signs and information are competing for known as "shouting"). Rather, the attention and'shouting� 'at the viewer. placement of multiple signs should be such that the eye is drawn to only one sign at a time. EMI Integration " Encouraged Where a business has more than one sign, 11}t all signs should be designed to be kit compatible with each other in terms of � � materials, color, lettering style and logo Jji usage.

Signage should be compatible not only with the building on which it is located, but with the scale and character of other signage in the immediate vicinity. 5.4 Legibility Encouraged Messages on signs should be brief. A sign with a succinct message is easier to read, looks cleaner, and is more attractive because it is not cluttered. Business hours, telephone numbers, sales information, listings of goods or services (except as indicated in the name of the business), brand names carried, and credit cards accepted, should not be included on Page 5-4 /CBC District Design Guidelines January 2014Amended October 2016 SIGM a business's primary sign. _______,........... 01 i1 Words and lettering should be properly spaced.

Page 5-23/CBC District Design Guidelines January 2014Amended October 2016 Sustainability 6 Sustainable design and building practices can reduce pollution, save money, and enhance the quality of our built environment. Designed properly, many of these practices can serve multiple purposes, like managing stormwater while providing outdoor amenity space. Certification programs like Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), EarthCraft, and the Sustainable SITES Initiative (SITES TM) are encouraged as they provide standards for assessing sustainable design and materials. However, even small, inexpensive features can go a long way to contributing to sustainable design. CIAlternative Modes of 5 Transportation Encouraging alternative modes of , ! transportation, including mass transit, bikes, 4ifir walking, and low or no-emission vehicles will contribute to improved air quality. This street in Portland Oregon accommodates pedestrians,bicyclists,transit riders,and motorists of all ages and abilities. Photo credits www nedhikeimages.org/Laura Sandt Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking should be installed near building entrances in safe, well-lit locations that are convenient for cyclists but not in w r the way of pedestrians.

The"Tactil Bicycle Rack"gives a friendly wave to cyclists in Barcelona,Spain. Page 6-1/CBC District Design Guidelines January 2011Amended October 2016 6 SUSTAINABILITY Bioretention Areas 6.3 " sas ? Bioretention areas capture and treat stormwater runoff as it filters into the ground and replenishes groundwater. With appropriate plantings, these areas can enhance and soften the hardscape of the urban area. They can also take advantage of underutilized spaces, like road medians, parking lot islands, pavement edges, and courtyards. This"stormwater planter"in Portland,OR takes advantage of limited space by placing a soil filter in an above-ground container. 6.4 Blue Roofs To get both cooling and stormwater detention benefits, blue roofs use controls atop the roof's downspouts to detain rx~ stormwater runoff flow from the roof. The water is eventually released to a stormwater harvesting or infiltration system at a controlled flow rate. ,.: This blue roof system captures rainwater in gravel filled trays. 6.5 Building Materials Use building materials made from sustainable resources and manufacturing processes.

These plant materials and 1q soils reduce runoff from otherwise impervious, compacted surfaces. Adequate soil volume is essential for healthy, long term sustainable growth for plant material. Streetscape plantings at Town Center. 6.10 Open Space Preservation Natural open space is even more important in urban areas because of its scarcity. In addition to providing relief from the urban hardscape, natural open space can provide valuable outdoor amenity space for walking, hiking, and biking, protect waterways from erosion and runoff, and increase urban tree canopy. In particular, natural features such as mature trees or treestands that provide urban tree canopy or riparian buffers that protect natural waterways should be preserved and enhanced. View of Town Center from Thalia Creek.
