All interested persons are invited to attend.
ine Loiiowing persons appearea on the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and
related Zoning Maps:
1. Mr@ Richard Brody - Parcel of land between Baylake Pines and Indian
14ill oad, proposed to be zoned R-5, and under old zoning it was T-1,
Under the proposed R-5 zoning the property would lose its value. The
property was acquired on a basis of $62,000, and if zoned R-5 it would
knock the value down, and it would be impossible to get even half the
value of the property.
2. Mr. Peter ARelesto - I ask for you to consider R. E. Townsend who
has property zone In ustrial and by the maps this industrial class-
ification has been taken away. The land in its vicinity is indlistrial,
I would ask you to consider two areas of land. One on slide E-4. The
railroad right of way runs along in an Easterly direction, this property
shows an industrial classification init'lally the area showed a blisiness
classification, but was later changed. The property I'm talking abolit,
which is owned by my client, is a triangular piece of property currently
zoned M-1 3, and this large block of which we own, all but six blocks,
and we are in the process of acquiring those six. This entire area is
industrial, but Council may wish to assign a business classification.
It is industrial and we would hate to lose it.
57th and 58th Streets which are currently zoned R-D 2 with a T-2
Supplement, and the property is shown as H-1. The land owner
attempted to make certain utilization to his property, which linder
the current zoning is not permitted, and so he withdrew his application.
I ask consideration to have the classification such that he could not
do in the future what he's not permitted to do today. I only ask your
assurance that this matter, likewise, would receive consideration as
I didn't see the chaiige either in the text or the maps of this parti(@,illar
parcel.
3. Mr. A. J. Coffman - I represent myse'lf, Mr. Edward Lindsley a
b.is corporations, and Mr. Frank Butler, also on the list. rage 3
of the Ordinance, referring to the conditional uses that are allo
pursuant to certain sections of the Ordinance to be restrictive
further, not by the language, but by old development plaiis. Ther
no definitions of devel.opment of our text-. Not in the beginning
this section on definitions, so I don't know whar- yoll are refe-.r@i.T'g
to outside of the text, but further restcictions - on lat-id ,ise. it-
makes that section vague.
Slide E-4: Several parcels of land along tlie Toll Road that now have
outdoor advertisement structures on them. The property was origina'lly
zoned residential. These billboards wotild be nonconform@l-ng i@, i-i.,tst
about every section of the new ordinan(,e, but in 1-1 they - r-hei.r siz(--
and structure would be conforming. Thes@, parcels of laild under str4C-
conversion should not be zoned something unrealistic "o a!" zoning, Tt
should be zoned something in relation to the actual impr,@,vemert put-stiant:
to a valid use pe=it, It would not be spot zoring, it would be a
realistic adjustment of a use already granted by the Council by ordinan(.@e
and would be in spirit with the strict conversion which Counc-'Il has lirg('.d
upon the Planning Commission, and which -1@s generally rezoned, There are
other parcels of land, which in the City had a use permit on them. The
same applies in cases which the Board of Zoning Appeals lias grantec, a
variance from an existing zoning to allow some other ecotiomi-ca7 iise to
to be rebuilt or replaced on the land. This in the strict conver.,@:Cr,.
would require you to give the property a zoning in conformity with tl,,e
variance granted by Board of Zoning Appeals and to ignore that also if
in violation of spirit of strict conversion of property especiall.'l
where the economical improvement has resulted from the Board (if Zoni.n-g
Appeals granted variance.
Strip of land 100 feet wide, the area adjacent to here. The Norfolk
and Southern Railroad property is under sale because it is industrial.
zoning, and it is under current law. This photograph doesn't sl"ow it
clearly, but the property bears no current zoning whatsoever,
blank. The staff assured me that it had been an oversight and would
be subsequently advertised. We have had these assurances on seieral
occasions, but it has never appeared zoned industrial. The oversight
should be corrected. This property should bear the I-1 zoning x4hich
would be straight conversion.
4.. Mr. Frank Atkinson - Slide D-12. Own a motel and all around it
is zoned B-2. A B- zoning doesn't permit motels. Had been zoned H-1.
but not sure if want to keep it as H-1, as the B-4 zoning does permit
.notels. If you don't see fit to convert all of it to B-4, at least get
i-e to B-4.
5. Mr. James Evans - I represent Thalia Wayside Corporation. They
own approximately@ 0 acres of land lying on the North side of Virginia
Beach Boulevard bordered by Thalia, some Willis Wayside property, and
a church. The property has an outstanding use permit for 458 apartment
units. The property was zoned A-4 and now the property is R-6, single
family residence.
6. Mr. Grover C. WriRht, Jr. - Mr. Wright represents Mrs. Shirley Marlow,
the Kings Grant, Kingston, and Little Neck Civic Leagues. The property
was advertised on September 24, 1973, as R-9. The property, today, is
A-1. The property is approximately 31 acres. In light of the ruli-ng
from the City Attorney, Council can't make changes today. It appears
you have to leave it today as A-1. It puts the residents at a dis-
advantage. We ask you, by Resolution, to initiate a rezoning petition
on own motion today. This piece of property was zoned from R-S 1, highly
restricted. Zoned to R-M in May of 1964. The owner deeded certain
parcel for recreation and park use, three and one-half acres. Ask,
by residents, property be rezoned back to single family residence,
7. Mr. Robert L. Simpson The area at Barbeton was A-1. I aD
requesting A-3.
8. Mr. Sam Houston, Sr. Your attention is directed to Yokley,
on "Zoning Law a d Practice", 3rd Additi-on, Section 4-21, page
172 which reads: 'The general rule is that a zoning ordinance mast
prescribe definite standards and that neither the Citv Council, the
Board of Zoning Appeals created by ordinance or statute, nor the
Building Inspector are properly vested with discretion any rights
in granting building permits or variances in exception to the zoning
ordinance unless there has been established a definite standard to
guide them in the exercise of such powers." The same text on pagc-,
173 reads: "For zoning ordinances to be valid and effectual t'hey
must set forth with clarity some norm or standard by which all
persons may know their rights and obligations thereunder." It is
ou@ contention, as has heretofore been presented to you, that when
you leave freedom to exercise discretion and judgement to officials
in charge of administering such an ordinance as this, that you have
the legislative responsibility to prescribe standards for their
guidance which must be reasonably percise as the subject matter iciquiru@,-;
or permits. This is what the Supreme Court of Appeals of VirgiT'.ia.
held in "Our Properties vs Ley, Va 96 S, E (2nd) 754. -@his the
law in this state and it has not been overruled.
The fourth revision of the CZO dated February 22, 1973, Article 14,
Miscellaneous Regulations, Section 1403 Amendments on page 150, i-s
recommended to you for adoption by the Plannin-g Commission had a
sub-paragraph (b) "General Intent Concerning Amendments" which read
as follows: "It is the intent of City Council to avoid spot changes
in the zoning map." Today, in the October 1973, white cover edil--;-ol
of the CZO, page 9, under Article 1, Section 107, Amendments, it is
found that you, the City Council, have eliminated the above sub--
paragraph (b) which gave assurance to the general public that
.'spot zoning" would not be tolerated in the future.
Again, the same Section on page 10, sub-paragraph (g) you place a
substantial fee ($200.00) that any property owner would have to
pay to amend, supplement or change these regulations, district
boundaries or classifications of property. This has no reference
to a zoning application or use. It has particular application to
changes in this ordinance. One could fairly draw the conclusio-n
that you do not choose to listen to constructive suggestions of
citizens for any amendment unless he pays a fee ($200.00). The
last sentence under sub-paragraph (f) reads: "An affirmative vote
of a majority of all members of City Council shall be required to
amend the ordinance." These words make you, the City Council, the
final arbiter of whether a property owner was frivilous or a nuisance,
but not if he was seriously constructive. Why charge him $200.00 for
being constructive?
9. Mr. Ralph Katherman - Mr. Katherman introduced Mr. Peter M. Gunnar
who is going to speak on property known as the Ocean Island Inn. The
property has been down-zoned.
10. Mr. Peter M. Gunnar - The property was zoned R-D 2 with a T-2
Supplement, which Voul-d have permitted us to develop the existing
use into condominium units and add additional 200 rental condominium
units. We discussed this matter with your personnel at the time and
they assured us that this property would be zoned H-2. They based
their assurance on the fact that this was not to be a change in zoning
as far as area is concerned, but that you would generally strictly
follow the present use of the property under the present zoning of
the property. Based on H-2 we could go forward with this type of
development, however, in B-4, as it is presently zoned, economically
it will not work out for that use. I know that Council is tired of
hearing the CZO, but I submit that further consideration might well
be given to this circumstance, because, in effect, it penalizes the
pioneers of this area. On each side of them you will find fifteen
to sixteen stories going up in a B-4 zoning, which apparently would
be a nonconforming use under your present operation. We urge you
not to penalize local people who have pioneered in that development,
and instead return this particular property to H-2.
11. Mr. Thomas Broyles - I represent Chesapeake Investment Company.
This involves a piece of property which -.s the H-1 area. Slide F-2.
This is a piece of property which is Level Green Corporation, thi-rty
acres zoned from C-G 3 to industrial. We feel this ought to be put
back into a business catagory or straight line convert it, because
the problem here is someone going to this section of College Pal-k
must pass through this industrial property in order to get to
approximately two hundred acres of rezoned property. So, we are
asking if you all can't here us today, to hear us at a later date.
Assuming from some of the statements that have been made here today
you all are going to give the agrieved property owner recourse. i
would like to ask you all to state a definite date and also put this
within a time limit so we can perfect an appeal if you pass the Ordinance
today - the CZO today - within thirty days I understand it will become
the law. We would have at that point thirty days to perfect our
appeal. I would like for you all to state a date, somewhere, in @@act
I would like for it to be within forty-five days.
12. Mr. Robert A. Holmes - I work for the Law firm of Kellam, Lawl.er
and Pickrell. I'm ere today in behalf of W. W. Reasor Enterprisps.
I appeared last September to voice similar objections. First of all
the model used in making changes in the o-ficial Zoning Maps, since
last May, probably is in violation of the Due Process Law, tl,,,e U,, S.
Constitution and the State Constitution. Secondly, Woody Reasor
Enterprises owned a parcel of property, Map E-5. I'm referring to
the piece of property right here. It's zoned R-8. It is essentially
a multiple - a single family dwelling and duplex use. Since 1-959
this property has been zoned as a sewage disposal plant. In September
I requested it to be zoned R-1 or B-2, unfortunately it has not been
reclassified. As you can see the surrounding property is essentially
zoned as a commercial use and the current use would be a prime exa7,.,,,)Ie
of spot zoning. Thirdly, W. W. Reasor Enterprises owns a triangular
piece of property located on map E-4. It is the piece of property
right here. As you can see all of the land zoned North of that piece
of property has an industrial use. This property is bol,-nded on the
Southwest by the Norfolk-Virginia Beach Toll Road, bounded on the
North by the Norfolk and Western Railroad tracks, bounded on the East
by Witchduck Road. Prior to last September the entire tract was zoned
B-2. Last September I appeared and requested the tract be zoned I-1,
half of it has been rezoned I-1. I respectfully request the entire
tract be rezoned I-1.
Finally, Woody Reasor Enterprises owns a parcel of land approximately
two hundred feet by two hundred feet at the entrance of Newtown Road
and the proposed Five Forks Road. It is now zoned R-5, however, Mr.
Reasor had the impression at a prior City Council meeting the property
was going to be rezoned for an M-R use. It is now, I believe, a A-!
or A-2.
13., Mrs. Gwen Wood - Slide E-8. A zoning of B-2 is all around us, in
the P3-newoo ar ens where we live. This is where Talbot and Associates
is. This is B-2 and this was spot zoned B-2. This is industrial. All
we are asking is please don't let them put industrial zoning right up to
our back-door.
14. M---Peter Ostrander - Oxford Manor at Newtown Road. requesting it
be direct converte t. 2@ p is still A-1; also Chesapeake on the
Bay is sti 1 B-4 nd I t;i k Mia should be H-2. Requesting City Council
to state a date within the next two weeks so that people who feel they
do have a grevience can come back and be heard; so Council can, on their
own volition, initiate zoning changes without payment of fees.
15. to the CZO; 37th Street, one hundred
and f e and fifty feet on 37th Street through
to a I presume that's what its going to be.
How c On page 112 of Plats, I don't think
its b Referring to a restaurant that we hope
to pu restaurant that's other than a drive-in,
eat ai t is at least one space per seventy-five
feet w our hinking is that our client would be building
a 4,000 aquare foot building, a d we have 7,000 square feet of space in
the parking lot. One car parked for every 75 feet of building space.
Gentlemen, I wonder if something can be done to make it possible for a
restaurant to be put on that block?
Mr. Charles Carrington, Planning Director, informed Mr. Ewing that he
can appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals if he can prove a hardship.
16. Mr. Grover C. _ Jr. - Slide E-9. Suspose to be R-5, single
family, present time is R-S-3. It was A-1, B-2 and all we said was
make it B-1.
17. Mr. Kenneth Slv - Converting the A-1 parcel of land in Litt-Le
Neck area adjacent-to Kings Grant. This A-1 zoning is adjacent,
Gentlemen, to one of our prettiest lakes, and we in the Civic League
and in the area are concerned. This is Kings Lake and it runs all
along this A-1 zoning. Now, of course, this is all single family,
which of course the whole area surrounding it is. I understand the
fact that we have to adopt this today, but we want it to go on record
and make it further understood that Kings Grant and Little Neck Civic
Leagues are opposed to this and very streneously, and I would hope that
this flexibility that we have associated with the CZO will allow us to
come back at a later time. In closing, Sir, the only question I have
is this flexibility that we've associated with the CZO also concerns
the subject matters like Old Donation Parkway?
18. Mr. Grover C. W . ht, Jr. - You are doing something in your ne
Ordinanc ordinance that you've got proposed,
you say rezoned property to a different classification from what was
advertised so long as you don't zone it to a less restricted class-
ification, and that's in effect what we ask you to do today to rezone
this from A-1 to R-4, which is now a less restricted classification.
It's a more restricted classification you're permitting under the
ordinance, that's against the law, then it ought not to be in the
ordinance. I don't think it is against the law.
19. Mr. Fred Rhvne - I have a piece of property with six units on it.
It was con o lng ow it seems to be zoned A-1, which when proportioned
s it c@mn
out m ke tn forming. Slide D-12, 29th Street, between Pacific
Avenue and Baltic.
20. Mr. G. P. DeJardin - One area needs additional study, rezoning
appli a@t3-on on property which we have owned for a number of years.
I've noticed the B-4 zoning, which you are showing for this area has
been changed with respect to height and density. 1, of course, applied
for rezoning under the M-H zoning, which it can be fully justified, is
'c-he basis for the rezoning application which you will hear. I do believe
the area between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Avenue is apparent for the
M-H zoning that the City of Virginia Beach presently is, and I feel that
t@llie CZO should provide for that type of zoning in that area. I hope at
some point it will. There are three or four items on the question of the
resort zoning. Commercial and hotel resort zonings that I feel needs
47 arther study. We would hope that the Council will direct the staff to
F,..udy these. In addition I would like to comment particularly on the
items that I am concerned about. I think if you will increase the H-1
density more along the lines of what you di.d in the last hearing to
90 to 100 units per acre, that you will remove and designate the bay
Tion@, condominium units from H-1. I think you may be able to make the
H-i zoning more appropriate, and also perhaps remove the nonconforming
@,,:atus of the bay front condominium units. I think that the B-4 zoning
,@t@3,uld provide for the H-2 density rather than H-1 density. I feel that
"he B-1 density and restrictions that you provide for in the B-4 zoning
. I do feel they are an artificial reason, which should
5-i o@ur -g est in the City of Virginia Beach and I hope that
tlie matter would@e t@udied.
The onl.y other item which I'm concerned about is the wording which exists
in yoi.ir H-2. The H-2 zoning that says and provided also there be an
en2 of commercial enterprise from outside the boundaries of a motel,
ard in our opinion a motel in a resort area is different from a motel
c-Ise,.,ihere in the City. If you have a restatirant in the area and parking
Provided, for which you have strict parking requirements, it seems to
@,le a restaurant should not be restricted from having a sign on the
building that says to tourists, generall.y, @hat there is a good
re@,,taurant in this motel. In my opinion the CZO should provide for free
@,nterpri-se in this most orderly fashion, and I think there are a couple
of these points which I hope ultimately would be corrected by Council.
1 furnish each one c)f you a detailed list of the comments which I
@@@,ve made. Thank you,
Zl. Mr. George Darden - Page 67, under the R-6 residential, Section
')53, su-)-section D. it has to do with rear yard setbacks. This
partiLcular part differs from the other draft. It says the minimum
rear yard setback shall be 10 feet, further down it says rear yard
sF-.tback, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, shall have an additional
15 @oot rear yard setback for a total of 30 feet. In the previous
copy the language is an additional rear yard setback, and I suggest
it was an oversight.
Mr. C..qrrington stated that it was a typographical error and it should
be a 20 foot setback.
