RECOMMENDATIONS a. Letter from the City Manager transmitting the request of National Beach Corporation for a change of zoning on two parcels located at the intersection of Holly and Pinewood Roads (Vir- ginia Beach Borough), from R-3 Residential District and R-1 Residential District to R-9 Residential Townhouse District. The requests for a change of zoning from R-3 Residential District to B-2 Community-Business District on a 1.239-acre parcel and a change of zoning from R-1 Residential District to B-2 Conmunity-Busi- ness District on a 1.886-acre parcel were denied by City Council on July 25, 1977. An appeal was heard on August 24, 1978 in the Circuit Court, and the Court ruled that Council acted properly in denying B-2 Community-Business District, 0-1 Of- fice District, or A-2 Apartment District zoning, but that the existing single-family detached zoning may not be appropriate and Council should reconsider zoning the property based on the Court decision. b. Letter from the City Manager transmitting the re- commendation of the Planning Commission for approval of the application of Joseph M. and Clara V. Mattox for a change of zoning from B-2 Cominunity-Business District to 1-1 Light Industrial District on a 6.71 acre parcel located between Northampton Boulevard and Shell Road, east of their intersection (Bayside Bor- ouah).

Letter from the City Manager transmitting the recom- mendation of the Planning Commission for approval of the petition of Henry A. Shook and Phyllis S. Shook for closure of a portion of Hill Road (Lynnhaven Borough). On January 22, 1979, City Council deferred this item for two weeks until the question of adequate access to a public street for the properties concerned could be further investigated.

Oberndorf, J. Curtis Payne, Roger L. Riggs, and Mayor Patrick L. Standing Council Members Voting Nay: None Council Members Absent: None - 3 - ITEM #13280 Mr. Hanbury introduced Mr. Alfred W. Craft, Jr., Chairman of the ch D.,,@l- ment Authorit - City ir i a B@. Mr. Craft presented to Council a report on the Development Authority. He noted in the report awlings and mpany, Certified Public Accountants, in which it states..."The ability of the Authority to continue as a going concern is related directly to its ability to obtain continuing financing from the City of Virginia Beach or other sources." He noted that they were a Development Authority and they started with no profit. He indicated that the City of Virginia Beach had made numerous loans to the Authority in support of their work. During 1978, the Authority paid off a Bank debt of $300,000; Lynnhaven Mall situation closed; they began construction on Sky Hawk Circle and hopefully, by the end of this week, they will have all the property inside the circle completely sold. Mayor Standing indicated that it was a brief report to summarize all of the good things that the Authority has accomplished this year. He noted particularly the Authority working with Industries to bring them to this City. Councilman Holland stated the job done by the Industrial Development Authority was an almost impossible one. He indicated the Authority, through its industrial development of the City, had afforded the people of Virginia Beach a better tax rate and greater relief in the years to come. Mr. Craft presented the City of Virginia Beach a check in the amount of $481,193.00 as full and final payment for the Airport Industrial Park project. (The report is on file in the City Clerk's Office) ITEM #13281 Mr. Hanbury stated that there will be a Public Hearing during the FORMAL SESSION today, February 5, 1979, regarding rate increases for taxicab owners for the City of Virginia Beach. He noted that in comparison to other Cities, he felt the rate increase was justified. Mr. Hanbury indicated that at the present time, a taxicab driver can take a passenger from Virginia Beach to Norfolk Regional Airport, but cannot return with a passenger to Virginia Beach from the airport. He noted that only Norfolk taxicabs can take passengers from the airport to the City of Virginia Beach. He indicated that Norfolk has a special taxi squad to be used to check taxicabs in violation of the City Ordinance. It is felt that this is a detriment to both Cities and he would like to bring a Resolution to Council requesting the City of Norfolk to amend its Code to allow Virginia Beach taxi drivers to pick up passengers from the airport. - 4 - Mrs. Oberndorf referred to the proposed Amendment in regard to the fees that would be charged to a passenger for having laundry bags and groceries. She noted that Senior Citizens used taxicabs as a mean s of t ran sportati on and this is a 50% in crea se to 90 .She indicated that she did not understand the rationality of charging persons for using laundry mats and grocery stores. Mr. Hanbury indicated that he thought it was because of the services rendered in comparison with services rendered in other Cities that it is a competi ti ve price and they have req ues ted an in c rea se. He stated that in the City's study they felt they were justified if they had to handle grocery bags and so forth, and carry them upstairs that 50cts was a reasonable charge. Vice Mayor McCoy indicated that the Transportation Commission is using the taxicabs for services for Senior Citizens. He asked the City Manager if this service is what caused the request for a charge on grocery bags and laundry bags? Mr. Hanbury stated that to his knowledge that was not the case. Taxicab drivers have requested price increases in other Cities. Mrs. Oberndorf asked if the 50% increase was in the Presidential guidelines, or are they not affected by that. Mr. Hanbury indicated that the Presidential guidelines were on a certain percent of their salaries. Mayor Standing indicated that those persons requesting rate increases would be at the Public Hearing and Council's questions could be directed to them. ITEM #13282 Mr. Hanbury indicated that the Legislators will be having a hearing tomorrow on Senate Bill 804 which would expand the Board of Zoning Appeals responsibilities in making decisions to an act of determining simple hardships, and that he would bring this up under NEW BUSINESS in the FORMAL SESSION.
