SHORE DRIVE ASSOCIATES ITEM #130,36
The City Manager indicated that there was an item on the FORMAL AGENDA today
(July 9, 1979) regarding the application of Shore Drive Associates for a
Change of Zoning from B-2 Community-Business District to A-3 Apartment District.
The Planning Commission recommended APPROVAL of the application; however, they
also recommended Council WAIVE standard site improvements.
The City Manager requested standard site improvements be placed back on the
stipulations for approval.
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN ITEM #13937
rlr. Robert J. Scott, Planning Director, appeared before Council at the INFORrpAL
SESSION to discuss the remainder of the Comprehensve Land Use Plan.
@ir. Scott indicated that at last week's Council meeting (July 2, 1979) Council
discussed six (6) Areas in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan; however, he wished
to clarify one point which came up under two of the Study Areas, Bavside and
Courthouse-Sandbridge Study Areas, which concerns a particular density per
acre - four (4) units per acre or six (.6) units per acre. What was meant by
thatwas the number of units per RESIDENTIAL ACRE. An example: If twenty-five
(25) acres were recommended for commercial use that would leave seventy-five
(75) acres left for residential use out of a one hundred 1\100) acre tract of
land.
THE BAYSIDE STUDY AREA AND TIIE COURTHOUSE-SANDBRIDGE STUDY AREAWERE IN THE
MINUTES OF JULY 2, 1979.
THE LITTLE NECK STUDY AREA is located in the north central portion of the City.
It is bounded genera'ily on the north by Lynnhaven Bay; on the east by the Eastern
Branch of the Lynnhaven River; on the west by the Western Branch of the Lynnhaven
River; and on the south by the Norfolk-Virginia Beach Toll Road.
The Little Neck Area is predominantly residential in character. Some commercial
and office uses are present but confined to the Virginia Beach Boulevard corridor
and the Pembroke area. Little @leck can be divided for discussion into three fairly
distinct sections:
1. The section of the study area north of Kings Grant
is exclusively lovi density residential in nature with
the exception of one small area zoned for apartment
use;
2. The section from Malibu to Kings Grant is predorqinantly
medium density residential; and
3. South of Malibu is the Virginia Beach Boulevard corridor
which is predominantly commercial with some high density
residential areas.
The transportation inadequacy in Little Neck can berectifiedand fliture
inadequacies prevented by the construction of the North Plaza Trail Pro.iect
and by the widening of Bonney Road and its connection to Constitution Drive,
both within this planning period.
Future land use decisions must be made according to their relationship to
existing conditions and trends in Little Neck. In general the following
should serve as a guide to growth management in the study area:
A. Residential Development - the character and integrity of
existing residential areas should be maintained. The
numerous established neighborhoods in the area should be
protected from encroachment by incompatible uses. The low
density section of the study area north of Kings Grant is
07/09/79
- 3 -
undergoing considerable development. This new construction
is occurring at densities allowed by R-1, R-2 and R-3 zoning,
which is consistent with surrounding subdivisions. No future
growth should occur in this area at greater densities due to
the potential adverse effect on Little Neck Road and neighbor-
hood integrity.
B. Commercial Development - is located exclusively along the
Virginia Beach Boulevard corridor. This strip extends from
Pembroke east to London Bridge Creek. Commercial development
should be encouraged to infill rather than ex'Dand into areas
which are residential. The following areas which total nearly
300 acres in large tracts are suitable for additional commercial
expansion:
1. Undeveloped acreage in the Pembroke area zoned B-2 and B-3;
2. Undeveloped land in the Thalia area north of Virginia Beach
Boulevard east of Thalia Drive and south of Virginia Beach
Boulevard bordering on Bonney Road; and
3. North and south of Virginia Beach Boulevard in the Little
Neck Road area.
In addition, the Rose Hall propertv, which is in an Iiistoric
and Cultural District, is partially available for commercial
development that is in keeping with the historic nature of
the Francis Land House.
C. Flood Plain - is extensive in this study area. Although it is
presently 74% developed, all development in the remainder of
the flood plain should be at the lowest practical density with
all proposals closely scrutinized to assure maximum public pro-
tection fron flooding and to assure the natural conveyance of
stormwater. Strengthening of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
to provide for this protection is essential.
D. Industrial Development - is only a small scattered amount of
industrial activity viithin the study area at the present time.
There is a small amount of vacant I-1 acreage (approximately
30 acres in several parcels), but this land is severely impacted
by environmental constraints and is not suitable for major
industrial location.
The OCEANFRONT STIJDY AREA was discussed in the minutes of last week (July 2,
1979); however this study area is located in the eastern portion of the City.
It is bounded generally on the north by Seashore State Park and Fort Story;
on the east by tlie Atlantic Ocean; on the south by Camp Pendleton and Owls
Creek; and on the west by NAS Oceana and Linkhorn Bay.
Growth of both residential development and population is stabilizing in the
Oceanfront Study Area. Development since 1960 has been moderate compared
to the growth rate in several other study areas. Commercial development has
occurred in the eastern portion of the study area on the oceanfront itself.
The southwestern portion of the Oceanfront Study Area borders Oceana Naval Air
Station. The potential for aircraft noise is high and the potential for aircraft
crashes is moderate in the area of Birdneck Road, north of Virginia Beacli Boulevard
and continuing through Birdneck Point. From Birdneck Point east to the Oceanfront
the potential for noise problems is moderate, and the potential for aircraft crashes
is low.
More than any other study area, the Oceanfront functions as a magnet drawing
most of its traffic from outside the study area to the resort portion of the
City. Most traffic does not originate at the Oceanfront, but instead passes
through other study areas to get to the Beachfront via major corridors such
07/09/79
- 4-
as Shore Drive, the Norfolk-Virginia Beach Expressway, Laskin Road, General Booth
Boulevard and Virginia Beach Boulevard. Therefore, most transportation concerns
are for traffic circulation methods rather than road expansion.
The Atlantic Ocean Coastline is one of the most unique and valued public assets
of the State and Community. In order to protect this important environmental
resource and to help insure public safety, it is vital that the recently adopted
Coastline Management Ordinance be effectively enforced.
With increasing development, the stormwater runoff increases in both volume and
pollution level. In an area of critical environmental relationships, such as the
Oceanfront area, this runoff can be a serious problem. The City of Virginia
Beach should seek to mitigate this problem by reviewing and adopting the best
management practices of the 208 Study.
The PUNGO-BLACKWATER STUDY AREA was discussed in the minutes of July 2, 1979;
however, this study area has the most environmental impact and the least land
use changes proposed. It is a very stable area as far as population is concerned.
In this study area, City water and sewer service is not available. No such service
is planned for the study area in this planning period. Water supply and sewage
disposal is handled by wells and septic tanks, which is a suitable approach for the
rural nature of the study area.
There are two (2) important issues:
A. . The Master Street and Highway Plan calls
for some very wide roads down in this study area. It is
suggested that these roadways be reduced sixty-six feet
(66') which will be more than sufficient to handle the
needs of the residents in the area. If there is a vast
increase in population the City would cercainly need
wider roads in this area. With a sixty-six foot (66')
right-of-way the City can build a four-land undivided
highway, with curb, gutter, drainage and sidewalks.
B.
ance
especially,
m that this
area of
water qtality ground water, etc.). It is regulated by the
State Water Control Board as they regulate the discharge from
lagoons that are associated with hog raising.
*COUNCILMAN ERVIN ENTERED MEETING AT 12:58 p.m.
The City Manager indicated there was an odor problem in the area of hog farms,
and he will be coming to Council in the near future requesting funds to air-
condition Creeds School.
The official maps will be available for citizens and Council Members.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan is to be advertised for Public Hearing to be heard
on August 6, 1979.

(d) Thirty-five miles per hour or the minimum speed allowable,
whichever is greater, on any highway other than an interstate highway, if the
vehicle is being used as a school bus carrying children, and forty-five miles per
hour on interstate highways; provided, however, that for any such vehicle which
neither takes on nor discharges children between its point of origin and point of
destination, the speed limit shall be forty-five miles per hour.
(e) Forty-five miles per hour on any highway if the vehicle or
combination of vehicles is operating under a special permit issued by the State

to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic except when reduced speed
is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law.
(b) Whenever the State Highway and Transportation Commissioner or
the city determines on the basis of a traffic engineering and traffic investigation
that slow speeds on any part of a highway consistently impede the normal and reasonable
movement of traffic, the Commissioner or the city may determine and declare a

person shall drive a vehicle except when necessary for safe operation or in compliance
with law.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the State Highway and
Transportation Commissioner or the city manager or any other authority having
jurisdiction over highways may decrease the speed limits set forth in subsections
(1)(a) through (1)(c ) of this section and may increase or decrease speed limits
set forth in subsections (1)(f) through (1)(h) of this section on any highway under
its jurisdiction; and may establish differentiated speed limits for daytime and
nighttime by decreasing for nighttime driving the speed limits set forth in
subsections (1)(a) through (1)(c) of this section and by increasing for daytime
or decreasing for nighttime the speed limits set forth in subsections (1)(f)
through (1)(h) of this section or any highway under its jurisdiction. Such increased

Mayor Standing announced that in 1979 a Committee, consisting of Councilmen Payne
and Ervin with the Mayor, were appointed to select candidates for the position of
1978, with an annual salary of $17,520 and a six-month probation period. That
probation being completed, the Co,,,lnittee reviewed the performance of the City
Clerk. The evaluation being that Mrs. Smith performed her duties in an exceptional
manner, the Committee recommended, and Council concurred, a recommendation for an
administrative salary increase effective 16 July 1979.
This recommendation being UNANIMOUS, no vote was recorded.
(ITEM II-K.1) ITEM #13960 i'@E@i BUSINESS
John Mansfield, Campus Crusade for Christ, appeared before Council to discuss
with Council the projects and duties of the Campus Crusade for Christ around
the Tidewater area.
(ITEM II-K.2) ITEM #13961
Mr. Bill Anderson, President of the Tidewater Chapter of the Virginia Gasoline
Retailers Association, indicated that in 1974 in this City the average retail
price for gasoline was 38.9cts a gallon. The price for premium gasoline was 42.9cts
a gallon. Prices have already risen to 99cts a gallon in some parts of the City,
and are expected to go even higher. This drastic increase in the retail price
for gasoline has caused a tremendous burden on the retail outlets in the City.
As Council is aware, the business licenses for retail operations in the City
is based on total gross sales. Unfortunately, the increase in gasoline prices
has caused an increase in business license fees of as much as 300 percent.
Mr. Anderson asked the City Council to correct the inequities in the system to
assure the dealers they are only paying their fair share.
The Association also requested the Council to have a moratorium on any new
retail locations opening in the City as long as an allocation program is in
effect.
Council asked the City Manager and City Attorney to check into these matters
and report back to Council.
Mrs. Sherman, City Hall Texaco, also appeared regarding this matter.
ITEM #13962 MATTERS BY CITY COUNCIL
Councilman Riggs indicated that the General Assembly gave Council the option
of either permitting or not perinitting "Instant Bingo" and requested the City
Manager to check into this matter and report back to Council with recommendations
as to whether the City should permit "Instant Bingo".
Councilman Riggs further indicated he has been informed that many welfare
recipients are pla@ting bingo, and if this is true he is very concerned about
it.
Councilman Riggs requested the Commonwealth's Attorney to check into this
matter and report back to Council.

Mayor Standing informed Council of the meeting with the Currituck Board of
Supervisors, at the Mariner Motel at 6:00 p.m., on Wednesday, July 11, 1979.
ITEM #13965
Mayor Standing indicated that several months ago he appointed a Committee of
three Council Members, Councilmen Ervin, Holland and Merrick, to report on the
allegations made by Mr. William Reil regarding the Utilities Department.
The report has been forwarded to Council, and Mayor Standing called upon
Councilman Ervin to give the Committee's report.
Councilman Ervin indicated the report has been distributed to the press and
news media, and if any one wishes to review the report a copy is in the Office
of the City Clerk.
The Committee has worked over three (3) months investigating the charges made by
Mr. Reil. There is one item under recommendations that the Committee, by majority
vote, asked to have added. Item number eight (8) "The matters in the investigation
and any further discussion of this matter be denied to Mr. Reil or anyone else."
The feeling of the Committee was that this matter was not one that could be treated
properly in an open forum discussion of this type.
Councilman Ervin indicated the Committee was submitting the report for acceptance
and review by Council, and further indicated that he, Councilman Holland and
Councilman Merrick will be in the Council Board Room after the Council meeting
if the press would like to go into a detailed discussion of the recommendations.
