Members of City Council
Dear Council Members:
Subject: Current and Proposed City Pay Plans
Attached are former, current and proposed pay plans for City employees fumished by the
Human Resources staff.
The proposed pay plans have been reduced by 24 pay ranges. The executive plan has been
combined with the administrative plan. This is accomplished with minimal potential cost since
none of the executives have reached the maximum of their pay range.
Aside ftom these changes, tlie plan should be easily administered.
Sincerely,
me, K - Spore
ity Manager

Policy Report
ACKGROUND
Some form of regional economic development program has existed in
South I4ampton Roads since 1956. The first of these, the Tidewater
Virginia Development Council was reorgarized in 1980 as the Greater
Hampton Roads Organization (GHRO).
In 1984, GHRO merged with the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce to
create Forward Hampton Roads (FHR) , a division of the Chamher
established to handle regional economic development marketing for
the five member cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk
and Virginia Beach. To this date, FHR @ias been funded exclusively
through private sect@:)r contributions.
Since FY 1991-92, the Department of Economic Development has made
a commitment to FEIR to prc)vide up to $25,000 to support joint
marketing efforts and to participate in foreign and domestic
marketing trips and trade shows. These funds were made available
through the Economic Development adverti-sing and promotion budget,
not through any additiional @illocation f-,om the General Fund.
FHR is currently soliciting direct financ:ial commitments of $4,0,000
each from the cities of Chesapeake, Norf()lk, and Virginia Reach and
$20,000 from the cities of Flortsmouth aiid Suffolk in each of five
fiscal years, beginning in 1994.
The $160,000 collected from the five c-ities each year wc)uld be
matched by FHR to create a p(Dol of $320,DOO annually, and invested
in advertising the liampton Roads regic)r) as a place to locate@ or
expand businesses.
ONSIDEPATIONS
The Hampton Roads Chamber c)f Commerce operates autonomously and
elects the governing board of FHR. Historically, the cities of
Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Suffolk liave participated along wit-h
1
not participated i k
Virginia Beach in FHR marketing ventures. The City of Norfol has
n these programs.
To date, the Virginia Beach Department (Df Economic Development has
participated in Japanese, Korean and Canadian trade visits,
marketing trips to California and New York, and target market trade
shows for the electronics and packaging industries, national
industrial devel(Dpers and tlie Virginia Report to Top Management.
Marketing on a regional basis has been successful, is cost
efficient and staff effective at the iriternational level. However,
it is understood that, the individual citv development organizations
remain competitive ,vithiri the region. '
Regional advertising at this leve-@ has riot been tested and no data
exists to project it-s value or effi.ciency.
PUBL C INFORMATION
No Impact
ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION
(1) Approve FHR request for $40,000 annually for five years for
regional advertising.
(2) If annual contributioris of $40,000 are not feasible, consider
a negotiated program of cooperative regional advertising or
marketing to inc,lude all five cities at some lower cost.
(3) Continue cooperative marketing program currently fundeci at
$2 5, 0 0 0 ,financed through Lhe Department of Economic
Development budget.
IIUDGETARY IMPACTS &: CONSIDERATIONS
If FHR's request for $40,000 is approved, decision to fund all or
a portion of that amount from the General Fund, the Economic
Development Investment Fund or other Source mu,t be made.
Participatory marketing and trade show activities have resulted in
some direct benefit for Virginia Reach. The regional program now
proposed would not benefit the City directly, but indirect
recognition and inteiest would ultimatel,/ benefit the entire ai-ea.
2
ECOMMENDATIONS
Continue the city's current practice of supporting joint marketing
efforts to participate in foreign and domestic marketing trips and
trade shows with Forward Hampton Roads with an increase in the
annual limit from $25,000 to $40,000. The additiorial $15,000 is to
come from General Fund Reserve for Contingencies. Once commitments

CONVENTION CENTER EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
in June, 1993 the project team of Williams, Tazowell and Associates and Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback
and Associates were commissioned by the Cfty of Virginia Beach to conduct a teasibilfty and site evaluation
study for the proposed Virginia Beach Convention Center Expansion ProjeCt. ThiS team was charged wfth
the s@cation of a building program, and the evaluation of frve sftes designatl-d by the City leading to an
eventual test of the physir-al ramifications of the proposed expansion program on the selected sfte.
FollovAng inftlal interviews and preliminary sfte analysis, ft was readily concluded that the Pavilion Sfte was
far superior to the other tour sftes in suitability for the development of a new multi-purpose convention
center. Addftional evaluation concentrated on planning and programming objectives tocused on testing
several altemates on the Pavilion sfte.
Methodoloov
Facility @s and consensus opinions for both the building program and sfte selection were ldentffied from
the InlU assembly of Information from Virginia Beach planning documents, area master plans, previous
market studies, as well as extensive Interviews wtth govemment crfficials, convention management, cfttzen
groups, private developers and local organizations and instftlitions.
Two bl*ding programs were developed. The first was based on the basic component areas gonemted in
the 1991 Market Analysis prepared by Delottte & Touchs. A second modtfied program was developed
incorpomting reduced ballroom and meeting room areas representing a compromise between areas
proposed by the 1991 Market Study and room sizes reflecting lridustry standards. The meeting rooms and
ballroom are key components In determining an appropflate program for Virginia Beach. The modified
prograrm wfth smaller meeting rooms and ballrooms, generates a 25% smaller total building area and
therefore signfflcantly reduced construction costs. The modified building program is later utilized in this
repon as a basis for preliminary building design studies on the Pavilion Stte.
Based on a comparative analysis of the ftve sftes. the sfte evaluation concludes wfth the Pavilion sfte as the
sfte best sufted for the development of a new multi-purpose convention cervtor. Each she was evaluated for
fts access, parking capabiltty, relationship to services, environmerttal issues, economic and symbolic factors,
sfte intrastructure, availability and cost. The Pavilion sfte readily indicates a greater number of posftive
characteristics distinguishing ft from the other four sftes. Most important of these WaS the size of the Pavilion
site and the existing 130,000 s.f. multi-purpose facilfty which r-an be Incorporated into the building program
areaforasubstantialsavingsinconstructiondollars. Incontrast,the3lstStreet,LoopandDomeSfteswere
considered too small to accommodate the building program. The McCleskey ske was considered too
remote from existlng actlvfty centers; and ft lacked major interstate visiblifty and access.
Upon narrowing the selection to the Pavilion site, a planning scheme was ufilized to further evaluate the
sfte's potential for meeting the planning and programming objectives of the new Vlrginia Beach Convention
Center. The scheme ldenttfied future expansion possibilftles and Illustrated the poten@is and liabilfties at
sfte development, building program layout, proposed hotel sfting and parking garage locations. Also
explored were options for incorporating the exmng facilfty into the new program.
In conclusion, the feasibrity study for the expansion of the Virginia Beach Convention Ceryter provides the
ctty wfth recommendations for a 'modffied' building program, ldentfflcation of the Pavilion sfte as the
preferred building sfte, and basic program objectives and overall design crfteria tested with planning
schemes on the Pavilion sfte.

CONVENTION CENTER BUILDING PROGRAM SUMMARY
The purpose of this section is to oLAine the necessary building program required to adequately expand the
existing Virginia Beach Convention Center so that Virginia BP-ach can maintain fts existing convention and
meeting act@ and expand ft's share in the growing convention and trade show market.
lnftial program areas determined by the 1991 Market Arialysis prepared by Deloftte & Touche, include a
125,000 square focyt flat floor exhibk hall, a 67,000 square foot banquet space, a 20,000 square foot kftchen
and a total of 56,000 square feet of meeting rooms. From Table 1, addftional program areas required to
support expanded convention center activfties are derived and are based upon a standard or 'typical
convention center program'. The 'typical convention cervter program' areas and percentages represervt the
average allocation of program space Litilized in a dozen recently built and/or expanded convention centers.
These buildings are considered to represent industry staridards in the current market place.
It should be noted that the 1991 Market Analysis indicates that the Virginia Beach area can sustain more
meeting rooms and a much larger ballroom than that udlized by the typicaj new convention centers of this
size. The Incorporation of this addftional space irito the program wfll also Increase suppon area
requirements for public circulation, storage, service and food service. Sufficient space for ballroom and
meeting room services and support functions are crftical to the proper function of convention center
facilities.
Industry standards suggest that total area of support faclittles should be provided at a 1:1 ratio wfth the
exhit)ft halls, ballroom and meeting rooms. Thus, enlarging the ballroom and meeting room requirements
from the typical convention center's 18,000 s.f. and 26,000 s.f. to 67,000 s.f. and 56,000 s.f. can uftimately
add up to 150,000 s.f. to the additional building program area. Table 11 identifies the size of ballrooms and
meeting rooms available at 10 dffferent convention centers around the country. Based on exhlbft hall size,
even the largest convention centers only utilize ballroom sizes af 33,000 s.f. to 56,000 s.f., wfth the average
ballroom for these larger facilfties being 35,000 s.f. Combining a 35,000 s.f. ballroom wfth a more typical
area of meeting rooms (26,000 s.f.) wouid yield a program of meeting spaces which is generous by national
standards.
In conclusion, the ballroom and meeting rooms are the key components in determining an appropriate
program for Virginia Beach. Table 1, which follows, ftemizes the Existing Pavilion Program, a Typical
Convention Center program, the Market Analysis Program and a Modified Building Program Into six general
space categories. Anention should be focused on the Modffied Building Program that assumes a smaller
ballroom and less meeting room space for a much smaller total building area which allows for substant'IW
cost savings. This program represents a compromise between the meeting room and ballroom proposed
by the Market Study and the size generated by a "Typical Convention Center Program'.
Each of the six program categories listed in Table 1, the Building Program, represents a multftude of dffferent
spaces, which are later ftemized in Table Ill and funher descdbed in notes tollowing that table.

CONVENTION CENTER BUILDING PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
EXHIBIT HALL
Exhibit Hall
Exhibft Halls should be configured to provide flexibility to accommodate simuitaneous multiple events in
dffferent stages (move-in, in session, move-olit) while minimizing interference wfth one event by another.
Exhibft space should be on one level and contiguous.
Column free space is ideal; however, since this is not usually economically or structurally feasible,
columns on a maximum size structural grid are desired. New columns should align wfth existing columns
ff possible where new Exhibft Halls adjoin existing Exhibft Halls. Ninety (90) foot spans should be the
minimum column spacing for first class Exhlbft Space.
A square plan or a rectangular plan (wfth length no greater that I 'h times width) is the optimum shape
for Exhibft Halls; however, practical limftfions such as structural spans, travel distance to emergency
exfts, proportions of subdivlsions, existing condttions and site constraints often require adjustment to this
crfteria. Design efforts of the Exhibft Halls should address and attempt to overcome any limitations and
constraints and approach the regular shape of a "pure" rectangle.
The plan configuration crf the Exhibft Halls should pennft direct access of exhibft materials to the floor
through dock berths and by means of ramps to allow over-the-road trucks to drive onto the exhibft floor.
Each hall subdivision must have direct access to the service dc)ck in order to permft simuftaneous,
multiple shows. A continuous dock along exhibk hall divisions allows addkional benh numbers to
service a division ff other divisions are not in use.
A utility grid system in the floor is to be provided to give exhibftors access to utliftles required for their
exhibfts. Exhibft booths and aisles are iaid out on a ten (10) foot grid system wfth ten (10) foot booths
back to back along ten (i 0) foot aisles generating a thirly (30) foot grid. The thirty (30) foot x thirty (30)
foot booth and aisle planning grid should be coordinated as a part of a larger grid for the utilfties. The
structural grid should also superimpose ftself over and be a mliltiple of the planning and utility grid.
Show Manager's Office
During the individual show as well as during move-in and move-out, these offices will serve as the
administrattve center for the event. At other times, these spaces may be used as small Meeting Rooms
or Board Rooms. An ideal arrangement for the offloe would allow direct access to the exhibft floor both
visually and physically. Access from public circulation space wfthout going through a securtty
checkpoint is desirable. One or two show manager's office spaces should be provided for each exhibft
hall division and one near the registration area.
Press Room
The Press Room can be a meeting room that is adapted for use by the news media as a working press
room. Press conferences may be held here, but more normally would take place in another adjacerit or
nearby Meeting Room or in a VIP lounge. The room should be designed for as many as 20 news media
personnel at worktables wfth outlets for telephones, facsimile machines, typewrfters or word processors.
Closed circuft teievision monftors should be able to be accommodated in the pace. This room will
double as a Convention Center Meeting Room and should corrform to the crfteria for these spaces.
WILLIAMS, TAZEWELL AND ASSOCIATES
Thompson, Ventuiett, Stainback & Associates, Inc.
VIRGINIA BEACH
CONVENTION CENTER BUILDING PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
MEETING/BALLROOM
Meeting Rooms
A variety of room sizes should be achieved through the use of operable walls wfthin permanent rooms to
provide spaces sized appropriate for many different events. Whether serving a banquet, seminar, board
meeting or other function, the meeting room should be designed to provide a pieasant backdrop for the
event. Service corridors should be arranged to permft back-of-house service access to as many as
possible of the niaior meeting room divisions, allowing simultaneous multiple event usage. ML-eting
rooms shouid be closely related to exhibft halls and grouped to relate to each hall division, ff possible.
Ballroom
The Ballroom may be used for large banquet and social functions or for moderately sized meeting and
assembly activities. This space should be the premier space in the Convention Cervter In terms of the
quality of its finishes, lighting and the sense of elegance that ft portrays. It is desirable to locate the
Ballroom so that R can be used for functions which use only the Ballroom (arid/or fts related
pre-function) wfthout having persons attending these functions move through other parts of the building.
The space must be free of colutnns that restrict sight lines. Muftiple stage locations should be
considered. AJI stages and accessories are to be portabie.
PUBLIC CIRCULATION
Entrance Lobby
rhe Entrance Lobby will serve as the main receiving point to the building for the visftor. Smaller lobbies
should be provided at secondary public ertrances. -1 hese areas provide visftors wfth their first
impression of the building, and ft is desirable that they have a strong contextual identity. It is important
to be able to move quickly and easily through the lobbies, with a clear sense of direction, to an ultimate
destination in the Center, including the registration arealls) anci other lobbies.
Registration Lobby
Registration should relate to the building's entry points and be distributed relative to Exhibft Halis and to
accommodate single and simultaneous shows. The concepts and layout of registration areas as
implemented by show managers and convention managers vary considerably. Therefore, It is important
that registration areas be as flexible as possible. Space needs to be provided for multiple arrangemertts
of tables and/or booths and for delegates wafting their tum to regiszer avoiding the blockage of the
traffic flow and other activkies in the area. There should be one main registration area for visftors using
all Exhibtt Halls or a major portion of the Canter. Secondary registration areas should be located in
other areas of Public Circulation spaces or near secondary entrances.
Concourse
In the Public Concourse Space, viskors should be able to quickly grasp the plan of the building,
maintaining orientation and be able to move easily to an ultimate destination wfth a cip-ar sense of
direction.
Both Pre-Function and Registration Spaces as describld under other individual space descriptions could
be included as a part of the Public Concourse(s) ff appropriate to the design configuration of the center
by increasing fts width at key points.
WILLIAMS, TAZEWELL AND ASSOCIATES
Thompson, Ventuiett, Stainback & Associates, Inc.
VIRGINIA BEACH
CONVENTION CENTER BUILDING PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Dayiighting is a very important contriblitor to the quality of the space and can assist in providing
orientation.
Ballroom Prefunction
The Ballroom and Meeting Rooms will frequently be used for events which wil be preceded by
receptions or @imilar actwies requiring adjacent space. The Baliroom Pre-Function space may also
serve as a lobby for the Ballroom which could have fts own separate entrance.
VIP Lounge
VIP Lounge(s) serve a variety of needs including providing a high qualfty space tor receiving and
entertaining speakers, visking dignftaries and special Convention Center guests. The lounge should be
convenieridy located, but wfth the abilfty to provide secured access away from public view.
Oppottunities tor views to the exhibft hall should be considered.
SERVICE AND SU RT
Truck Docks
Truck Docks shoidd be located so that they are visually isolated from the public spaces of the building
to the greatest e)dent possible. It is mandatory that the dock surface is at the same floor elevation as
the Exhibit Hall to facilftate set up/take down of exhibfts. The truck apron should be four feet below the
dock surface. Ramps from the apron to the dock/exhibft floor should be provided to allow direct access
for trucks to each hall division as well as to provide exking off the dock level. Ideally, docks should be
arranged so that the dock is continuous, providing access to each hall division for maximum flexibufty of
use. Dedicated food service and house supply berths, including one for a compactor, should be
provided in addftion to Exhibft Hall service docks. The food service docks should be separated from
Exhibit Hall docks d possible to avoid competftion between these two functions.
Crate Storage
Space for the storpge of crates is the major storage issue related to the exhibft hall space. The
combustible nature of these materials presents some serious fire code impl@ions. Several options for
crate storage are available, Pach wfth fts own set of posftive and negative implications: dedicated crate
storage; ctirtain off one and of the exhlbft hall; on the truck apron or in a dock berth; or loaded back on
the trailers which are stored efther at the dock berth or in a marshalling area. Cost arid space/area
limitations could dictate which approach is feasible.
Public Toiws
Public re@s should be distributed throughout the Public Circulation spaces and wfthin the Exhlbft
Hall area. Exhibft Hall toilets should be located relative to each hall division and wfthin the hall security
pefimater. Whhin the space, toiiets may be located to draw visitors through the exhibfts.
Restrooms serving Public Circulation and Meeting Room spaces should be distributed and located to
serve blocks of Meeting Rooms. Restrooms shouid not be concentrated in or around the Registration
areas, in order to avoid congestion during registration or peak ingress/egress skuations. Fbcture counts
required by code for all public toilets should be modffied to allow for a range of maje/female mb(es
which vary wfth the event. A "swing' area of water closets between male and female restrooms which
can be locked off from or open to efther group may be considered to accommodate disproportionate
gender mixes. Each restroom lor-ation should provide both male and female facilfties rather than
spiitting them between remote locations.

Thompson, Verituiett, Stainback & Associates, Inc.
VIRGINIA BEACH
CONVENTION CENTER BUILDING PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Visttor Services
An area should be provided convenient to the main Registration area to accommodate exhibftors and
visftors business needs such as public stenography, photocopying and facsimile transmission; aidine
and travel reservations; to purchase newspapers, periodicals and sundries, and to make local dinner
reservations and ticket purchases for entertainment events. They should be individual, built-in spaces
wfth a consistency of design and graphics. Each space should be individually secured in the way that
will not detract from the appearance of the facility on those occasions when they may not be open tor
business when the Center is open. The design should permft flexibilfty in size and use as the need for
services may change.
Exhibft Hall Storage
Storage space associated wfth Meeting Rooms and Exhibft Halls is required for storage of tables, chairs,
portable stages, lectems and other equipment used during shows and meetings. The storage spaces
should have access to meeting rooms through the back of house corridor system. Exhlbft hall storage
areas should have direct access to the exhibft floor via the truck dock service entrances. Stomge areas
should be organized in association wfth blocks of meating room space mther than being consolidated
into one area or divided into a specific storage arp-a for meeting room. Exhibft hall storage may be
consolidated Into a single, large space ff distributed areas can not be provided. A single exhibft hall
storage area should be linked to all hall divisions via service dock or back-of-house corridors.
Back of House Service Corridors
The back-of-house corridor system should provide service access for all parts of the Convention Center.
This system should be separated from Public Circulation to the greatest extent possible. TypicoJly,
these corridors also serve as passages leading to emergency exft stairs or areas of refuge. Minimum
corridor width is determined by fire exft width requirements, however, other factors may require the
corridor to be wider in order to maintain the minimum clear exft width while utilizing the corridor for
Food Service operations.
Other necessary requirements: space outside the Ballroom and Meeting Rooms for parking of food
service carts during meal service: space for temporary storage of empty chair and table trucks; and
space for fixed beverage stations, inciuding ice machines and other food service equipmerd.
Main Banquet Kitchen
The Main/Banquet Kkchen will be the primary food production facility for the Convention CerTter. The
kftchen will be divided into major work centers, including pre-preparation, salad and dessert assembly,
entree production, banquet plating and ware washing. Addftionally, the space must accommodate
production offices and storage for the many food transportation r-arls.
Food ftems will be prepared, weighed, measured, assembled, cookl-d and proportioned prior to being
transponed to the various service areas. These Rems will be placed in heated or refdgerated holding
carts for dispatching to the Ballroom, Meeting Rooms, Concourse, Cafe, Emp4oyeas' Cafeteria and, in
some instances, the Concession. These or other suftable carts will be used to transport soiled dishes
and service utensils from these areas to the central ware washing facility.

CONVENTION CENTER BUILDING PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Exhibft Food Service
Concessions provide the benefft of keeping visitors near the exhibk space when they wish to purchase a
snack or drink. One concession area wll be provided wfthin each Exhibft Hall division for the
convenience of the exhfbft vlsftors and exhibitors. This area will support portable concession stand unfts
which can be placed strategically on the exhibft floor for specffic show preferences.
Most exhlbftors prefer to have some refreshment areas near the exhibk floor to prevent the visftors from
lp-aving that area. Locations should be established to encourage movement throughout the entire exhibft
area. Adjacency to restrooms and telephone alcoves is also desired.
Food Service Receiving
Food Service Receiving should include food service receiving docks and be the center for recetving and
redistributing food deliveries to the faclity. Both refrigerated and dry storage areas should be provided
as holding areas for food and food service supplies. Also locations should be "Mblished for the
equipment and Lqility connections necessary to support the removal and disposal of garbage and trash.

CONVENTION CENTER SITE EVALUATION SUMMARY
This section expiores the feasibilfty of five pre-selected sftes and their correlation to the convention center
program and concludes wfth the recommendation of the preferred site. To provide a framework for the
evaluation of each ske, a set of evaluation crfteria is utilized. This crfteria consists of each sfte's access and
parking capactty; relationship to services, environmental issues, economic and symbolic factors, and sfte
infrastructure, availabuity and cost.
Location maps document irifomiation spl-cffic to the Virginia Beach area as ft relates to each of the five sftes
and to the Convention Center needs. The site analysis data documents the comparattve analysis and
information gathered from visits to each of the five sftes.
Based on the comparative analysis of the sfte evaluation crfteria, the P&Aion site affords the greater number
of positive characteristics. We therefore conclude that ft is the sfte best sufted for the development of a new
multi-purpose convention center.
The Pavilion sfte offers excellerit visibility and aocessibiltty from the Virginia Beach Expressway (Route 44)
and 19th Street, which act as primary and secoridary access from the resort area. Major hotels located at
the oceanfront, the adjacent Radisson Hotel and a variety of restaurants are wfthin a one-mile radius of the
sfte. The large tract of land available allows niaximum flexibility for a building footprint, adequate parking
wfth the addftion of a garage space for future expansion needs, as well as, allowing the option for
development of an adjacent hotel. Moreover, the Pavilion sfte affords the incorporation/renovation of the
existing 130,000 sq.ft. multi-purpose facility, fts available utilfties and retaining some of the existing paved
parking areas; all which would result in a significant savings of construction dollars.
Improvements that should be made for the Pavilion sfte include
strengthening the connection between the oceanfront acttvity centers and the Pavilion sfte
by developing the 19th Street corridor and transportation system;
improving upon the properties existing arrival points and cleady defining a convention
center entrance;
0 renovating the existing convention center architeciure prevalent on the Virginia Beach
Expressway to create an invftlng community image.
Section Vcontains an expanded Pavilion sfte analysis that explores the potential for renovating and
expanding the existing convention center by testing a preliminary sfte plan.
The four sftes other than the Pavilion sfte were not considered suitable convention center sftes as they did
not appropdately satisfy the following essential sfte evaluation crfteria of the sfte study.
I . Be large enough to accommodate the building program, including some on-site parking and
offer opportunfties for future expansion of exhibft facilfties and meeting rooms;
2. Offer good highway access and/or arterial road access to and from the faciltty; and
3. Have good sfte visibility.
Sfte cost and utility availability were not considered essential or limiting factors in the inftial sfte selection
process.
WILLIAMS, TAZEWELL AND ASSOCIATES
Thompson, Ventuiett, Stainback & Associates, Inc.
VIRGINIA BEACH
CONVENTION CENTER SITE EVALUATION SUMMARY
The following paragraphs summarize the posftive and negative features of each of the other four sftes:
The 31 st StrW ske provides excellent views to the ocean, convenient access for convention center
users and is centrally located to the tourist attractions, hotels, shopping and restaurants.
Unfortunateiy, the 3.7 acre sfte is not adequate to accommodate even the minimum convention
center building program; not to mention on-sfte parking and future expansion needs. The facilfty
area alone would require a minimum building footprint of 8 to I 0 acres, Addftionally, civic event and
service traffic would compound existing vehicular congestion in the area.
The Loop stte at 9.5 acres is also too small. Its narrow configuration would be very dffficult to
accommodate the building program wfthoul compromising the required program area adjacencies
required to produce a successfully functioning converition facility. Also to fts detriment, the sfte is
located at the southern limft of the Hotel area and is remote to major interstate traffic and visibility.
The lack of a secondary ouuet to major roads and the dead-end condftion at the south end of
Atlantic Avenue would create a major traffic congestion problem for this convention center site.
The McCleskey sfte at 29 acres is large enough to accommodate the building program, including
the capacity for on-sfte parking and flrture facility expansions. Because the site is the most remote
of the 5 sites from existing hotel facllities, major interstate visibility and access, ft has poor potential
of becoming a integratl-d part of the Virginia Beach resort.
The Dome ske iocated amongst the cfty's tourist attractions, hotels and restaurants affers an
appealing convention center sfte due to its central location. In addftion, the development of this sfte
could influence further development aiong the 19th Street corridor and adjacent sftes. The site is
highly visible from Pacffic Avenue and easy to access.
Unfortunately, the 8 acre sfte is too small to effecti\,,ely ar-commodate the minimum building program
except as a ',.Aacked" or rnulti-@@tory facility, w[iich erttails higher construction costs. Cfty acquisftion
of additional adjacent property might warrant addqional study of this convention center sfte. The
8 acre sfte requires the assimilation of two or more city blocks and interruption and/or closing of
city streets, iriduding 19th Street, a major resort access street and developing corridor. It should
be understood that this sfte would require the altering of resort traffic flow to avoid congestion in
the convention center area, and planning efforts would need to be made to minimize the oceanfront
visibility and accessibilfty timftations incurred in developing a city "superblock".
Although this feasibilfty study finds the Dome, Loop, 31 st Street and McCieskey sftes unsuitable for
the development of a new multi-purpose convention Genter, these sftes do hold significant appeal
for other types of development such as retail, hotel, entertainment and resort uses.

CONVENTION CENTER SITE EVALUATION CRITERIA
LOCATIONAL FACTORS
Public assembly facltty, such as Pavillon Center, are developed to serve many purposes including
enhancement of the quality of [Re in a communfty and stimulation and support of economic actmty- The
Impact attributed to a publlc faclitty depends upon the types of users as well as the faclltty's location.
Major uses projected for the Convention Center include conferences, seminars, conventions, local
meetings, banquets, consumer shows, and trade shows.
Each type of event places emphasis on she access and faclitty visiblitty. An appealing, accessible and
convenient Convention Center design and location is esseritial.
ACCESS
Streets and hiatmays, Car and truck access by expressway and surface streets Is essentlw for all
events. Multiple rolites to and from the sfte are highly desirable as are multiple points of egress from the
major par$dng areas. Traffic dispersal pattems restriated to a single intersection should be avoided.
Vehicular access to the facilfty should be very clear and user friendly to people unfamiliar wfth the city of
Virginia Beach..
Ser,Ace vehicles. Service traffic wlll include semi-trailers, vans and small delivery vehicles which will
place constraints upon the existing roadway system. Skes offering a secondary access will have the
advantage of separation of service vehicles from visftor vehicles.
PARKING
On-sfte and off-sfte parkina. it is essential that adequate parldng be provided on-site, and adjacent to
the she; further, N remate parking lots are required, they should be supplemented wfth shlittle service to
the convention center. Optimum on-ske parking sould accommodate 1,800 to 2,200 cars and woud
minimize the use of off-sfte parking and shuttle service for all blit the largest of convention center events.
The 1,800 to 2,200 cars is based on the following assumptions:
0 one parking space required per four theatre seats.
* one parking space per 125 square feet af available gross floor area.
0 the assumption that the meetlng rooms and exhibft hall will never be full
at the same time.
RELATIONSHIP TO SERVICES
Hotels and motels. Avaftability of hotel and motel rooms is an importartt factor In attracting group
conferences, converytions @ trade shcyws to a she. It is important that hotels be wfthin a short
commute and on an eashy accessible rolite to the facilky. It is not essential that hote4s be within walking
distance to the ske; however, sftes located adjacent a corr4ention hotel have a advantage because of the
convenience offered to the user. Should convention and longer duration conference use increase, an
adjacent headquarters hotel would become Important.
Shoppina and restaurants, Meals for convention and trade events wHi most likely be catered to the
faclifty. For mufti-day conventlon and conference events and for local patrons attending communfty ans
events, opportunfties to shop and dine before or after an event will be enhanced R the center is
conveniently located near area restaurants and retall facilfties.

CONVENTION CENTER SITE EVALUATION CRITERIA
ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC AND SYMBOLIC FACTORS
Impact of faclifty on surroundina area. A major public investment in a convention center can act as a
catalyst for new private kwestment which can result in increased tax revenues for the communfty,
Opportunfties for the development or redevelopment of propem" surrounding the sfte should be
consldered. The location of a new faclltty around existing act@ centers can provide opportunfties for
enhancement and reirdorcement.
Destlnation at)peal visiblftv and views. A convention center Is a special use. but one which requires a
surrounding environmerit which can be considered "conifortabie@ for both residents and out-of-town
viskors. The surrounding environment should be able to make a posftive rontribtition to the faclifty (as
well as vice versa), not act as a deterrent to faclifty use. The natural beauty of a sfte, surrounding
amenfties and entertainment opportunfties will strengthen the appeal of a partictaar sfte as a destination.
Facility visibilfty is desirable from both an access and markefing standpoint. The faclilty should be
located on a ske wfth significant prominence and t>e visible to the maximum number of users.
Relatioriship to cftv plans. Various plans, lncludlng zoning and larid use adopted over the years, express
public policy Intentions. A major new public investment shotad be harmonious wfth such plans or
strong reasons made available to amend the plans before auftrizing the facility location.
Communftv Imaae. The new Convention Center will often be used for local cMc meetings and
banquets, and as such h should represent the civic focus of the Virginia Beach community. Sites are
more desirable ff they are near central cores of community actmty and are also central to the residential
population.
SITE CAPABILITY, AVAILABILITY AND COST
Size and rapablifty Of sfte for inftial development and expansion. The 1991 Market Analysis prepared by
Deloftte & Touche has determined ftt the Virginia Beach area can sustain a Convention Center
consisfing of a 125,000 s.f. flat floor exhibft hall and 67,000 s.f. banquet space, wfth addhional meeting
rooms totaling an area of 66,000 s.f. The total facilfty area of approximately 400,000 s.f. would require a
minimum sfte of 9 acres. This minimum sfte area does not incilide area for parking or expansion.
A key element the development of a convention center Is the ease of land assembly and the need to
relocate exlsting structures and functions. A large number of small parcels to be acquired Indicates a
high probability of efther increased cost, Increased time of assembly, or both. Similady, parcels wfth
existing buildings or uses require addftional negotiation regarding cost and relocation expenses. Larid
owned by the cfty, minimizing cost and assemblage factors, presents an advantage over skes which
must be purchased and assembled from the prtvate sector.
Expansion opportunfties. Experience has shown that expansion capabilhies of at least 100% of phase
one coriverition and conference construction should be anticipated. Adjaceryt property of approximately
4 to 5 acres should be allowed for a linear expansion of the exhlbft hall, service areas and public
circulation.

CONVENTION CENTER SITE EVALUATION CRITERIA
Sfte preparation and tithity ronstraints- Existing buildings, railroad tmcks, streets, and slmiiar factors
may increase site pmxration In time or expense. Steeply graded land will t>e more expensive to
prepare for bugdlng than a fW stte. Water and sewer capacity are primary conslderations for Lmlity
service. Although utl@, including sewer, water and electrical service, can be provided for any of the
skes, the eodsterice of adequate on-sfte utuftles or other public infrastructure can offset some
deveiopment costs.
Sfte cost, ActuaJ land acquisftion cost is an important alement in total project cost for a convention
canter. It becomes even more Important when considering the need for expansion.

Very convenient access from the Norfolk - Virginia Beach Expressway (Route 44) via Parks Avenue
and 1 9th Street. Secondary access from Route 44 via Birdneek Road and 1 9th Street. The capacity
of the Birdneck Road off ramp may need to be expanded. The intersection of Route 44 and Park
Avenue may need to be upgraded to carry an increase volume of tuming traffic onto Park Avenue.
ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE PARKING
Ske size adequate to acr-ommodate on-sfte parking, H parking structures are Litilized.
Off-sfte parking currenliy not availabie, but addftional land acquisftion appears possible.
MOTELS
The sfte is dlrectly adjacent to the Radisson Hotel, a convention quaitty hotel, and Is wfthin .5 to 1
mile of other major hotels located at the Oceantront.
SHOPPING AND RESTAURANTS
Sfte located approximately 5.5 miies from Lynnhaven Mall via the Norfolk - Virginia Beach
Expressway (RoLite 44) and approximately 1.5 miles from Hilltop Shopping Canters via Birdneck
Road and Laskin Road. Restaurants are located wfthin a 1 mile radius of the site.
IMPACT OF FACILITY ON SURROUNDING AREA
A new addftion would encourage development aiong the "19th Street Corridor. Further
development of this sfte wotad greatly improve the visual impact of the existing facility from Route
44, and would encourage improved development of the surrounding area.
DESTINATION APPEAL, VISIBIUTY AND VIEWS
Visiblifty from Norfolk - Virginia Beach Expressway (Route 44) is excellent, the main artery into the
resort area.
RELATIONSHIP TO CITY PLANS
The sfte is currently zoned RT-3.

CURRENT LAND AND BUILDING VALUES (CITY ASSESSMENTS)
The existing Pavlion facility is already owned by the cfty.
Approximately $1 million for the wooded lot adjacent the existing Pavilion facility.
Approximately $2.9 million for the property east of the Pavilion facility, located between Parks
Avenue and Cypress Street, and 19th and Virginia Beach Boulevard.
Optional Hotel site to the south cyf 19th Street and to the west of the War Memorial is assessed at
$3.2 million.
EXPANSION OPPORTUNITIES
This sfte offers excellent opportunfties for long term expansion of the Corivention Center.
SITE PREPARATION AND UTILITY CONSTRAINTS
The sfte talls in Zone X, which designates a site not within the 100 year flood zone.
The existing 37.8 acre sfte is largely used for parking now and could be easily developed. The

VIRGINIA BEACH
CONVENTION CENTER PAVILION SITE STUDY SUMMARY
This study finds the Pavilion site to be far superior to the other four sites studied, in potential for meeting
all esseritial sfte evaiuation crfteria.
The Pavflion stte is being explored in greater detail to further test fts poterttial toward reedizing the planning
and programming objectives of the new Virginia Beach Convention Center. A planning altemate was Litilized
to test the physical ramifications of the proposed expansion program.
In addftion to basic program objectives, the following overall design criteria were also considered in the
evaluation of the planning schemes:
Recognize the importance of available sfte footprint area wfth direct proximtty to the existing
exhibttion space and ma)dmizing the potential for expanded (present and future),
contiguous exhibftion space.
Recognize OW hotels, restaurants and reson act@ centers primarily lie to the east and
migration of the building's new expansion entranoes and open public functions
(lobbies/prefunction/concourses) should be in that direction.
Provide an enhanced image of the convention center alorig the Virginia Beach Expressway
and the r*or sfte approaches, presenting an invfting iniage to the public.
Identify sfte plan alternatives that allow for continued operations of the faciltty during the
construction period
Identity opportunfties to tie the building into the surrounding street panern rather than being
a super block interruption of ft.
To identity potential convention hotel sftes adjacent and possibly connected to the
convention center sfte.
To explore the ramff ications of primary arrival from efther the Expressway, Park Avenue or
19th Street, wfth an emphasis on developing a clear and concise building entrance and
separating the public spaces from the service and loadirig docks. Although all streets vie
for recognftion, a well planned and directed building approach along a prominent street wfth
convenient parking directly adjacent to the buildings main entrance will maximize the
building's prominence as a convention center.
To identity aftemate ballroom sizes and configurations ranging from a gross area of 30,000
s.f. to 67,000 s.f
To identity 'best use" and re-use of the existing convention center complex.

VIRGINIA BEACH PAVILION SITEPLAN
CONVENTION CENTER ALTERNATE
PHASE I
SITE ACCESS
0 This sfte plan allows forthe development of two main entrances, one off of lgth
Street and one off of 20th Street.
0 Vehicles traveling west on Virginia Beach Expressway would not have access
to the 20th Street entrance uniess a road is provided between 20th and 21st
to allow westbound travelers to enter the sfte.
0 A parking garage is located adjacent to the new 19th Street entrance. The
20th Street entrance is remote from the on-she parking areas unless the city
purchases the property to the east for addhional on-grade parking. Much of
the existing on-grade parking is retained for the theatre and ballrc>om users.
0 The original building, entrance and garden sculpture area is retained and
utflized as an entrance for ballroom and theatre events separatlng them from
concurrent exhibft hall events.
SITE DEVELOPMENT
0 The Lrtilization of igth Street for both public access and tractor/trailer service
dock wfll require appropdate screening and traffic control to functionally and
aesthetically separate these functions,
0 The property to the east of the convention center is ldentffied as a possible
hotel sfte. This alternate does not require immediate purchase of the property,
except, to possibly supplement on-grade parking. A future parking garage on
this sfte could be utilized for beach parking. An alternate hotel sfte solrth of
lgth Street as well as an on sfte location at igth Street were identtfled.
0 Visftors entering both the 19th and 20th Street entrances have Immediate
access to the lobby where visftor information, general public services and
securfty are located.
This sfte plan preserves 575 existing on-sfte parking spaces.
This plan maintains a landscaped path to the existing Radisson Hotel to the
west of the convention facility, blit due to the location of the parking garage
and service docks, this path does not provide direct access to the main front
entrance.
BUILDING DESIGN
This plan alternate provides for a new building facade and convention center
image along Virginia Beach Expressway.
Construction and renovation work can be phased to minimize the Interruption
of existing building functions.
Two floors of meeting rooms are accessed from the main lobby and are
adjacent to the exhibft hall space.

VIRGINIA BEACH PAVILION SITEPLAN
CONVENTION CENTER ALTERNATE
0 This plan alternate reuses the existing exhibft hall as ballroom space (see
Ballroom options following this section).
9 Large storage areas are available wfth direct access to loading docks and
exhlbft hall floor.
0 This plan aftemate maintains the existing kftchen, thereby reduced new kftchen
const@n and kftchen equipment relocation costs.
0 Adequate back-crf-house access is provided to all faciltties-
Expansion)
SITE DEVELOPMENT
0 The bulding expansion closes Park Avenue between 21st and igth Streets.
The dead ertd of Park Avenue along 20th Street can be Lrtlllzed as a convention
cerTter/hatel entrance drive.
0 The bulding's 21 st Street entrance is remote from avallab4e parking. Viskors
parMng in the garage behind the hotel would have to anter the east @ of the
exhibft hall expansion (a third security point) and walk west 700 f@ to the
main lobby. All visftors arriving by car would probably find the 1 9th Street
entrance more accessible to parking.
0 The long expansive area of truck loading docks off of 19th Street, adjacent to
the bulding entrance, would detract from the convention r-enter's image to
convention center users K not propedy screened.
BUILDING DESIGN
9 Provides 100% expansion of exhibft hall and meeting room spaces wkh a
contiguous exhlbft hall floor area of 250,000 square feet.
0 The concourse and access to exhibft hall and ballroom space Is very long (over
1, I 00 ft.).
0 The expanded loading and truck dock areas remain contiguous behind the
exhlbft hah expansion.

VIRGINIA BEACH
CONVENTION CENTER EXISTING PAVILION FACILITY RE-USE
Ftenovation and re-use of the e)dsting Pavilion Center faciffties, in conjunctionwfthanew building expansion,
would allow for substarTtIW sar,/ings. The replacement value of the 129,ooo s.f. of existing facilities, not
including the theatre, could approach 14.8 to 16.8 million dollars, whereas the demolition and renovation
costs of the existing facility would amount to only 5 to 8 million dollars.
Total renovation costs lncjude required demoittion work, some required alterations of the faciltty to meet
codes, resurfacing ot the root and remodeling wfth new finishes. Space plan layouts that reuse the existing
kftchen tacilfties, meeting rooms, administration offices, storage and loading dock areas, will result in the
greatest savings in construction costs.
Consideration should be given that retaining the existing exhibft hall as exhibft space could be a dethment
for the new faclifty. Based on todays' convention center staridards, the back-d-house corridors and storage
areas are inadequate. But, the existing exhibft halls qualtty construction, finishes and column free space do
lay the ground work for a high quaj]ty ballroom with reduced cc)nstruction costs. Conversion of the e)dsting
exhibft hall Into a baj[room would place this area in ciose pro)dmtty to the existing kttchen, thus avoiding
costs to relocate the kitchen and the ballroom, wtth new larger docks and storage spaces being added at
the new exhibft hall.

VIRGINIA BEACH EXISTING EXHIBIT HALL
CONVENTION CENTER AS BALLROOM RE-USE
The Pavflion Center schemes take advantage of the existing convention center's 67,000 square foot exhibft
hall spaoe by rousing ft for ballroom or ballroom/rneeting room space. This planning option makes good
use of the existing exhlbft halls high ceflings, clear span volume, quality finishes and close proximfty to
essentiaJ and existing kftchen facilkles, services and loading docks. Renovation of the existing exhlbft space
into a new ballroom vvill require a now cefling and a cortwn degree of upgrade, finish and FF&E. However,
the exisbng exhibft hall is readily adaptable to high quwlty ballroom space allowing the city to forego the
up-trorit expense of these attributes in a neMy constructed ballroom thus freeing up addftional construction
dollars tor other aspects of the projecl
Addftionally, an expansion of the @ exhfbft hall would resuft In the creation af an expanded hall wfth
a significandy dtfferent Image trom the current facutty. To match the exisfing profile and level of finish would
be inappropriately expensive and wotad not facil@ an easy mftigation of the current building image.
Ballroom renovation possibllttles for the e)dsting exhibft hall space are numerous and with the use of
operable walls, many can be configured to accommodate various size ballroom events. One example
includes a 67,000 sq.ft. ballroom that can be dtvided IrTto a 40,DOO/25,000 spift or a 40,000/13,000/12,000
splft (Figure 1). Other options include dividing the area into a smaller 40,000 sq.ft. ballroom wkh a
permanent wall to separate a suite of meeting rooms (Figure 2) Or as a third option, one whoie bay can
be reserved for critically needed storage space (Figure 3).
