CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend and Reordain Section 2-85 of the Code Pertaining to Limitation on Accumulation of Annual Leave MEETING DATE: September 9, 2003 ■ Background: Current City Code provisions authorize the accumulation of four hundred (400) hours of annual leave for full-time employees, without regard to the employee's hourly workweek or rate of annual leave accumulation and use. Employees on a forty (40) hour workweek accumulate and use annual leave at a rate lower than that of fifty-six (56) hour workweek employees. Four hundred (400) hours of annual leave accumulation equals ten (10) weeks of paid leave for a forty (40) hour workweek employee, but only approximately seven (7) weeks of paid leave for a fifty-six (56) hour workweek employee. ■ Considerations: The proposed ordinance would allow fifty-six (56) hour workweek employees to accumulate the equivalent of ten (10) weeks of annual leave on a fifty-six (56) hour workweek schedule. Thus, if the ordinance is adopted, an employee will be able to accumulate the equivalent of ten (10) weeks of annual leave, regardless of whether the employee works a forty (40) hour or fifty-six (56) hour workweek. ■ Public Information: The proposed amendment will be advertised as an ordinary agenda item. ■ Recommendations: Adoption of Ordinance ■ Attachments: Recommended Action: Adoption of Ordinance Submitting Department/Agency: Human Resour City Manager: 0`L F:IUsersUWcDowellwp%WorklOrdinancesl2-85ARF.wpd 1 N ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND REORDAIN 2 THE VIRGINIA BEACH CITY CODE 3 PERTAINING TO ANNUAL LEAVE; TAKING 4 NOT REQUIRED; LIMITATION ON 5 ACCUMULATION 6 SECTION AMENDED: §2-85 7 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA 8 BEACH, VIRGINIA: 9 That Section 2-85 of the City Code is hereby amended and 10 reordained to read as follows: 11 Sec. 2-85. Same --Taking not required; limitations on accumulation. 12 (a) No employee shall be required to take annual leave. No 13 employee shall be paid for unused annual leave except 14 upon termination of employment. Upon termination, 15 employees shall be paid straight time for accrued annual 16 leave; and payment shall be processed as expeditiously as 17 possible. No employee shall be allowed to carry more than 18 four hundred (400) hours of accumulated annual leave from 19 one calendar year to the next if the employee works a 20 forty (40) hour workweek, or five hundred sixty (5601 21 hours of accumulated annual leave from one calendar year 22 to the next if the employee works a fifty-six hour 23 workweek 24 year to the next, nor shall any employee who terminates 25 employment with the city receive pay for more than four 26 hundred ( 400 ) hours of accumulated annual leave if the 27 employee works a forty (40) hour workweek, or five 28 hundred sixty (560) hours of accumulated annual leave if 29 the employee works a fifty-six hour workweek. 30 (b) Part-time employees hired on or after July 1, 1996, shall 31 not be allowed to carry more than forty-eight (48) hours 32 of accumulated personal leave from one calendar year to 33 the next, nor shall part-time employees receive any 34 monetary payout upon termination of employment for their 35 accumulated personal leave. 36 COMMENT 37 As amended, this ordinance will allow an employee to accumulate the equivalent of ten (10) 38 weeks of annual leave, regardless of whether the employee works a forty (40) hour or fifty-six (56) 39 hour workweek. 40 Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, 41 Virginia, on the day of , 2003.

The Virginia Department of Emergency Management has awarded the City two grants totaling $1,217,130. The next step in the process is submitting applications that set out the type of equipment that the City intends to purchase. The City Council must adopt the proposed resolution that supports these applications, and the Department of Emergency Management has to approve the proposed purchases before any funds are disbursed. A committee has met to assess the needs and priorities for the City as a whole. The final determinations for funding were endorsed by the Safe Community Strategic Issue Team. This committee determined that this initial funding was best spent primarily on public -safety related equipment. Funding from these grants will be allocated as follows: 2003-Base Grant Distribution: Personal Protective Equipment for Responders Police $ 61,716 Fire $ 71,717 EMS $ 40,180 Other Departments $ 11,717 • 1 EMS MCI Response Vehicle $ 41,000 • Replace Detection and Monitoring Equipment $ 17,000 • Police WMD-SWAT Trailer $ 8,500 • Cyber Locks for Public Utilities $ 35,000 Total $2869830 2003-II Grant Distribution: • Vulnerability Assessment and Responder Plan $ 20,000 • Bomb Robot Accessories & Suit $ 70,000 • Field Deployable Command Center $650,000 • Emergency Operations Center Equipment $150,000 • ID Machines $ 40,300 Total $9309300 ■ Considerations: This funding will provide better capabilities to safely address everyday emergency response in addition to increasing the City's preparedness to respond to events involving terrorism or weapons of mass destruction. ■ Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. ■ Alternatives: The city currently does not have the capacity to fund the requested items within current revenue projections. ■ Recommendations: Adopt the resolution to support to the applications for the grant proposals totaling $1,217,130 to address ongoing emergency response need and increasing the City's capability to effectively respond to WMD events. ■ Attachments: Resolution Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: Management Services City Manage er. 1 A RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR TWO U.S. 2 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR 3 EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR RESPONSE TO THE USE OF 4 WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION 5 WHEREAS, the City of Virginia Beach has applied for two 6 equipment grants from the U.S. Department of Justice, related to 7 local response to the use of weapons of mass destruction. 8 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 9 VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia: 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 1.

Subsequent State budget shortfalls in transportation funding caused VDOT to cancel various contracts for engineering services and instead endeavor to perform engineering design functions "in-house," thereby taxing existing available resources. The City has requested, and VDOT has approved the administration by the City of the design, site acquisition, and construction of the referenced projects This initiative will allow the City to directly and more effectively coordinate, manage, and provide resolution of project issues in a timely manner The City is currently in the process of selecting consultant engineering firms to resume design activity. It is anticipated that notices to proceed with design for the five projects will be issued in the Fall of 2003 ■ Considerations: The referenced capital projects will provide relief for the motoring public from the severe traffic congestion at the Princess Anne Road/Kempsville Road/Witchduck Road (CIP 2- 048) intersection and along the heavily -traveled corridor from just north of the Witchduck Road/Bonney Road intersection to Interstate I-264, Witchduck- Road Phase I (CIP 2-931) and from Interstate I-264 to Virginia Beach Boulevard, Witchduck Road Phase II (CIP 2-025). Indian River Road Phase VII (CIP 2-256) will alleviate the ever increasing traffic volume which is currently served by a two-lane rural road Elbow Road Extended -Phase II (CIP 2-152) will provide a key linkage between Princess Anne Road and Indian River Road and will complete a cross -City east -west corridor ■ To proceed with administration of these projects, it is necessary to adopt a resolution authorizing execution of a Project Administration Agreement with VDOT and an ordinance to appropriate State/VDOT current funding (through FY2003-2004) of approximately $35,485,142 (which is net of expenditures to -date) VDOT will reimburse the City for expenditures within this appropriated amount The Cnty's share of project cost's, approximately $4 mullion, is already appropriated for activities currently programmed for the five projects. The Princess Anne Rd /Kempsville Rd Intersection Improvement project is essentially fully funded for design, site acquisition, and construction. The remaining projects are currently funded for design and partial site acquisition These proposed appropriations will address current program activities only A breakdown of the required State/VDOT appropriations for each project follows Princess Anne Rd./Kempsville Rd Intersection Improv CIP 2-048 $191164800 Witchduck Road Phase I CIP 2-931 $ 46711057 Witchduck Road Phase II CIP 2-025 $ 7141000 Elbow Road Extended - Phase II CIP 2-152 $ 553073,085 Indian River Road Phase VII CIP 2-256 $ 9.349,000 Total Appropriations Required $355,485,142 Page 1 of 2 Based upon VDOT's current Six -Year Program, additional VDOT funding of approximately $34 5 million will need to be appropriated over the next six years beginning in FY 2004-2005 for these five projects Future funding requirements will be addressed during upcoming Capital Improvement Programs beginning with FY 2004-2005. ■ Public Information: The citizen involvement process has been ongoing for three ofthe five projects identified for administration by the City. On January 9, 2002, VDOT held a Citizen Information Meeting for the Princess Anne Road/Kempsville Road/Witchduck Road Intersection Improvements (CIP 2-048) project Following evaluation of citizen comments, Council adopted a preferred intersection alternate. The process of alternatives evaluation and final selection by Council of a concept for the preferred intersection configuration was enhanced sigruficantly by early participation in the project study/design phase by a Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) Tlus committee is comprised of stakeholders within the general vicinity of the intersection It is anticipated that the CAC's involvement will continue with development of the Witchduck Road Phase I (CIP 2-931) project and as needed with the development of the Witchduck Road Phase II (CIP 2-025) project. VDOT has held Citizen Information Meetings, as well as a Location Public Hearing for the Indian River Road Phase VII (CIP 2-256) and the Elbow Road Phase II (CIP 2-152) projects, and a preferred roadway corridor has been endorsed by Council A public hearing for the appropriation by the City of the State funding for the five roadway projects was held on August 26, 2003 This action was required since the appropriated amount exceeds 1 percent of the approved FY 03-04 funding in the Capital Improvement Program ■ Alternatives: Do not approve the Project Administration Resolution and Ordinance for Appropriation of State Funding for the five VDOT projects and have VDOT administer the projects This alternative has the potential to affect the Cnty's ability to effectively coordinate, manage, and provide resolution of project issues in a timely manner. Delays in the design, site acquisition, and construction phases for the referenced projects, which are integral links in the City's overall transportation network are likely to occur. ■ Recommendations: Approve the Project Administration Resolution authorizing administration by the City of prof ect design, site acquisition, and construction activities for the referenced intersection and roadway improvement projects, and approve the Ordinance for Appropriation of State funding for the five projects ■ Attachments: Location maps, Agreement for the Development and Administration ofPrincess Anne Road, Witchduck Road, Indian River Road, and Elbow Road by the City of Virginia Beach, Project Administration Resolution; and Ordinance for Appropriation of State Funding for the five referenced roadway unprovement projects Recommended Action: Approve Project Administration Resolution and Authorize City Manager to Execute Agreement; and approve Ordinance for Appropriation of State Funding for the five projects.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing the Acquisition of an Agricultural Land Preservation Easement and the Issuance by the City of its Contract Obligations in the Maximum Amount of $255,346 (Property of John G. Cromwell, Jr. and Edward F. Cromwell, Trustees of the John G. Cromwell, Sr. Trust) MEETING DATE: September 9, 2003 ■ Background: In May, 1995, the Agricultural Lands Preservation Ordinance (the "Ordinance") was adopted by the City Council for the purpose of promoting and encouraging the preservation of farmland in the rural southern portion of the City. Under the Agricultural Reserve Program established by the Ordinance, the City purchases the development rights of eligible parcels of land, leaving the fee simple ownership of the land unchanged. These purchases are embodied by perpetual agricultural land preservation easements pursuant to which only agricultural uses, as defined in the Ordinance, are allowed on the land. The subject property has been appraised by an independent appraiser retained by the City. The appraiser has determined the fair market value of the property, based upon eighteen (18) comparable sales. From the fair market value, the value of the development rights has been determined by subtracting $900 per acre, which has previously been established as the farm value (i.e., value of the land restricted to agricultural uses) for land throughout the southern rural area of the City. The resulting amount is the value of the development rights of the property. All offers by the City to purchase the development rights to property are expressly made contingent upon the absence of any title defects or other conditions which, in the opinion of the City Attorney, may adversely affect the City's interests, and other standard contingencies. ■ Considerations: The subject property consists of one (1) parcel of land having approximately 21.103 acres outside of marshland or swampland. It is owned by John G. Cromwell, Jr. and Edward F. Cromwell, Trustees of the John G. Cromwell, Sr. Trust. Under current development regulations, there is a total development potential three (3) single-family dwelling building sites, none of which would be reserved for future development. Thus, the preservation easement acquired by the City would cover approximately 21.103 acres. The site, which is shown on the attached Location Map, is located on Indian River Road, in the District of Princess Anne. The proposed purchase price, as stated in the ordinance, is $255,346. This price is the equivalent of approximately $12,100 per acre of easement acquired. The terms of the proposed acquisition are that the City would pay interest only for a period of 25 years, with the principal amount being due and payable 25 years from the date of closing. The interest rate to be paid by the City will be the greater of 3.75% per annum or the per annum rate which is equal to the yield on U.S. Treasury STRIPS purchased by the City to fund its principal obligation under the Installment Purchase Agreement, not to exceed 6.75% without the further approval of the City Council. The proposed terms and conditions of the purchase of the Development Rights pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, including the purchase price and manner of payment, are fair and reasonable and in furtherance of the purposes of the Ordinance. ■ Public Information: The ordinance has been advertised by publication in a newspaper having general circulation in the City once per week for two successive weeks. ■ Alternatives: The City Council may decline to purchase the development rights to the property. ■ Recommendations: Adoption of the ordinance and acquisition of the development rights, assuming all contingencies are met. ■ Attachments: Summaryof Material Terms of Installment Purchase Agreement (full Agreement is on file in the City Attorneys Office) Recommended Action: Adoption Submitting Department/Agency: Department of Agriculture 436City Manage t'� F:1Users\WMacali\WP\ARP\PURCHAS E\CromwellTrust\cromwelltrustarf.wpd 1 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF AN 2 AGRICULTURAL LAND PRESERVATION EASEMENT AND THE 3 ISSUANCE BY THE CITY OF ITS CONTRACT OBLIGATIONS IN 4 THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $255,346 5 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agricultural Lands Preservation 6 Ordinance (the "Ordinance"), Appendix J of the Code of the 7 City of Virginia Beach, there has been presented to the City 8 Council a request for approval of an Installment Purchase 9 Agreement (the form and standard provisions of which have been 10 previously approved by the City Council, a summary of the 11 material terms of which is hereto attached, and a true copy 12 of which is on file in the City Attorney's Office) for the 13 acquisition of the Development Rights (as defined in the 14 Installment Purchase Agreement) on certain property located in 15 the City and more fully described in Exhibit B of the 16 Installment Purchase Agreement for a purchase price of 17 $255,346; and 18 WHEREAS, the aforesaid Development Rights shall be 19 acquired through the acquisition of a perpetual agricultural 20 land preservation easement, as defined in, and in compliance 21 with, the requirements of the Ordinance; and 22 WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the proposed terms 23 and conditions of the purchase as evidenced by the Installment 24 Purchase Agreement; 25 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE 26 CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 27 1. The City Council hereby determines and finds that 28 the proposed terms and conditions of the purchase of the 29 Development Rights pursuant to the Installment Purchase 30 Agreement, including the purchase price and manner of payment, 31 are fair and reasonable and in furtherance of the purposes of 32 the Ordinance, and the City Manager or his designee is hereby 33 authorized to approve, upon or before the execution and 34 delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement, the rate of 35 interest to accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the 36 purchase price set forth hereinabove as the greater of 3.750 37 per annum or the per annum rate which is equal to the yield on 38 United States Treasury STRIPS purchased by the City to fund 39 such unpaid principal balance; provided, however, that such 40 rate of interest shall not exceed 6.75 o unless the approval of 41 the City Council by resolution duly adopted is first obtained. 42 2. The City Council hereby further determines that 43 funding is available for the acquisition of the Development 44 Rights pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement on the 45 terms and conditions set forth therein. 46 3.

The City Council further directs the City Clerk to affix the seal of the City to, and attest same on, the Installment Purchase Agreement. The City Council expressly authorizes the incurrence of the indebtedness represented by the issuance and delivery of the Installment Purchase Agreement. 4. The City Council hereby elects to issue the indebtedness under the Charter of the City rather than pursuant to the Public Finance Act of 1991 and hereby constitutes the indebtedness a contractual obligation bearing the full faith and credit of the City. Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, on this day of , 2003. 3 70 Adoption requires an affirmative vote of a majority of 71 all members of the City Council.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: Acquisition of a new sanitary sewer pump station site for the construction of Maxey Manor Pump Station #388 MEETING DATE: September 9, 2003 ■ Background: This new pump station project will convey flows from existing residences and businesses currently on septic systems. Evelyn G. Marshall Trust and Evelyn G. Marshall Trustee own the property in fee simple. The property is located in the Lynnhaven District. ■ Considerations: The landowner is willing to sell 2,659 square feet and is willing to grant a temporary construction easement, which is sufficient for the construction of the new sanitary sewer pump station. ■ Public Information: Since the Maxey Manor community does not have a civic league, a notice of intent to hold a public meeting was mailed to each landowner, resident and business owner. We received two phone calls in response to the notice. Both calls were made regarding the schedule of construction.

Several lots would have to install private pumps to connect with the gravity sanitary sewer system. The new pump station eliminates the need for private pumping systems. ■ Recommendations: Staff recommends City Council approve the attached ordinance authorizing the City to acquire, by agreement or condemnation, all land necessary for the construction of the new sanitary sewer pump station.

The City of Virginia Beach is one of the communities that entered into an ongoing annual Local Performance Partnership Agreement with VDEM to receive a share of these funds In the past, funding was based on a set formula. Funding for the 2003 grants is now based on a new formula that includes not only a base amount but also a per capita allotment ($2,000 plus 160 per person based on the 2000 census) As a result of the new funding formula, the City is receiving a total of $70,041. This provides an additional $28,041 above the $42,000 already estimated for this grant in the upcoming budget. ■ Considerations: Historically, the funds from this grant have gone into the General Fund to support the salary of the Emergency Management Deputy Coordinator in the Fire Department. Based on the various and sizable needs of the City in the area of emergency preparedness and Homeland Security initiative implementation, these additional funds could be more effectively used to support specific planning projects such as the Emergency Operations Center slated for inclusion with the new Communications building. There is no deadline for use of the funds which would allow use to support other grant projects that cannot be completed with allocated funding or support projects within the Resource Management Plan specifically designated for emergency preparedness that require additional funding to meet project goals by acquiring needed equipment in the new EOC ■ Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. Alternatives: These funds are an unanticipated increase in allotment for the VDEM 1 EMPG program Funding is not available within current City revenue estimates to divert to additional emergency planning activities ■ Recommendations: Accept and appropriate the $28,041 increase in the VDEWEMPG grant to support ongoing emergency preparedness initiatives in the City Attachments: Ordinance Notification Letter from Virginia Department of Emergency Management Recommended Action: Accept and Appropriate Funds.

This grant program provides basic funding for emergency management nationwide at bot'-i the local and state level. In Virginia we use EMPG to provide funds to local governments that enter into on annual Local Performance Partnership Agreement (LPPA) with the Department of Emergency Management. Approximately half of the local governments in Virginia participate in LPPA each year. Prior to 2003, the allocation from Congress had not increased for several years and local payments through LPPA had remained level. Congress had not approved the 2003 budget when the fiscal year ?vegan on October 1, 2002. Tl �._.'.117rV, T" l�Eir� signed agree entS wit I-ah-t:-s for 20103 activaieS bn�C'd Oii the 20v2 aiiv^CatiOns. When Congress approved the budget, it increased the 2003 EMPG appropri:11.3on making additional funds available for local governments in Virginia this fiscal year. These additional fiends are intended to enhance emergency management activities_ at the _local level. In Virginia these funds may be used to extend the activities initiated earlier this year through the Supplemental 2002 All -Hazards Planning Grants, to broaden citizen preparedness activities such as Citizen Corps and CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), and to support emergency management elements delineated in the LPPA. For distribution of the 2003 grants, VDEM has developed an equitabir_ formula for all jurisdictions consisting of a base amount plus a per capita allotment. The traditional LPPA allocations have not been based on population. Since many localities rely on the LPPA grant for salarie., and other essential costs, and would not be able to absorb mid -year changes, we have adopted an approach that considers both the allocations of the past and the new population -based formula. Mr. Mark C. Marchbank May 8, 2003 Page Two Your locality has signed a Local Performance Partnership Agreement with VDEM for 2003 and expects to receive reimbursement for $46,893. If we applied the new formula ($2000 plus 16� per person based on the 2000 census) your locality would receive a grant of $70,041. Since this amount is more than your current allocation, your 2003 grant will be increased to $70,041. You are still responsible for the LPPA activities. These funds will be reimbursed to you as stated in your agreement. If you have questions about this information, please contact your VDEM Regional Coordinator.

Cline CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $52,339 in the Oyster Heritage Trust Fund, and to Appropriate $15,000 From the Wetlands I Dunes Restoration Fund to the Department of Planning FY 2003-04 Operating Budget for the Cost of Constructing Lynnhaven River Watershed Oyster Reefs MEETING DATE: September 9, 2003 ■ Background: The City of Virginia Beach has established an Oyster Heritage Trust Fund for the purpose of collecting donations dedicated to the restoration of oyster habitat and oysters in the Lynnhaven River watershed. In conjunction with the Trust Fund, the Department of Planning has been developing an Oyster Heritage Plan with assistance from various agencies of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. This plan has resulted in the identification of sites in the Lynnhaven watershed for construction of oyster reefs, which began in the summer of 2002 and resulted in the construction of approximately 8 acres of oyster habitat. Reef construction has been undertaken by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission for all projects completed to date. ■ Considerations: City staff has been working to develop a cost sharing arrangement as part of the Oyster Heritage. The total cost of this year's oyster reef projects in the Lynnhaven watershed is $67,339. Of this amount, $52,339 in funds are being provided from the Oyster Heritage Trust Fund. The remainder of the $15,000 in funds are being provided from civil penalties funds collected in enforcement of the Wetlands, Coastal Primary Sand Dunes and Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Ordinances, and administered by the Department of Agriculture. ■ Public Information: Information will be disseminated to the public through the normal Council agenda process. ■ Alternatives: Alternatives to this approach considered by staff included a "No Action Alternative" and several more oyster reef project alternatives, each of them more aggressive in extent. These alternatives were not deemed to accomplish the intent of the project as selected, inasmuch as they were less likely to garner strong support at the State or Corps level, were less likely to best utilize available funding assistance, or because they did not allow for accomplishing multiple outcomes as would be possible with the preferred alternative. ■ Recommendations: Approval of Ordinance. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approve Attached Ordinance Submitting Department/Agency: Planning City 9 Mana er. `�7:tjb44z F:\Data\ATY\Ordin\NONCODE\oysterarf.wpd 1 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE 2 $52,339 FROM THE OYSTER 3 HERITAGE TRUST FUND AND $15, 000 4 FROM THE WETLANDS/DUNES 5 RESTORATION FUND TO THE 6 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING'S FY 7 2003-04 OPERATING BUDGET TO 8 CONSTRUCT OYSTER REEFS IN THE 9 LYNNHAVEN RIVER WATERSHED 10 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE 11 CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 12 1.

W CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: John M. Steward, Jr. — Subdivision Variance MEETING DATE: September 9, 2003 ■ Background: Appeal to Decisions of Administrative Officers in regard to certain elements of the Subdivision Ordinance, Subdivision for John M. Steward, Jr. Property is located at 4464 Lee Avenue (GPIN 1570702992) DISTRICT 4 — BAYSIDE ■ Considerations: There is an existing single-family dwelling with a detached garage and garage apartment located in the rear of the property, behind the home. The garage apartment is a non -conforming use in the R-10 District The site is currently zoned R-10 Residential District and is within the Shore Drive Overlay District. The total parcel size is 32,617 square feet. The applicant desires to divide the parcel in such a way as to put the existing single-family and the garage apartment on separate parcels. The parcel proposed for the garage apartment will not meet the 80-foot lot width requirement for the R-10 Residential District. Staff cannot support this request because it does not meet the requirements of Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance for a hardship. Most importantly, there are similar lots in terms of size, configuration and access in close proximity to this site It would be unwise to `open the door' for other property owners to explore similar opportunities where a genuine hardship does not exist. Staff recommended denial There was no opposition to the request. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 7-4 to approve this request with the following condition 1. Structures on the lots are not to exceed two (2) stories.

STEWARD, JR. / # 16 Page 3 application to consolidate 10 non -conforming lots and re -subdivide the property into four (4) parcels (item #2) was granted by City Council A Subdivision Variance was required, as the existing structures on the site, which were to remain, did not meet the setbacks of the Zoning Ordinance. Granting of this variance reduced the nonconformity that existed and created lots that met both the required lot widths and lot areas for the zoning districts of each of the four (4) proposed parcels In October 1986, City Council reviewed and granted a Subdivision Variance for a parcel that was created as a result of a 1971 Street Closure (item #1). This 3,035 square foot lot was shy of the required 5,000 square feet of lot area required by the ordinance as well as approximately 15 feet short of the required 45 feet of lot width required at the right-of-way There are several flag lots on the south side of Lee Avenue. Records indicate that no subdivision variances were granted for these lots, the lots were created under the provisions of Section 200(e) allowing such subdivision for lots of unusual depth that meet specific criteria outlined in Section 200(e).

Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 JOHN M. STEWARD, JR. / # 16 Page 4 Fire and Adequate — no further comments Rescue: Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan recommends that the area within the vicinity of this request be developed and redeveloped as Suburban Residential at medium and high densities of generally 3 5 dwelling units per acre and above. Evaluation of Request Staff evaluation of a Subdivision Variance is based on several factors, including the degree of compliance with City ordinances and regulations, consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, and adherence to good accepted land use and development practices and theory. Personal hardship does not enter into the Staffs evaluation. Above all, Staffs evaluation is based on Section 9 3 of the Subdivision Ordinance, which addresses variances to the ordinance. Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states: Section 9 3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states: No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that: A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship. B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected C The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions and topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by the use or development of property immediately adjacent thereto Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 JOHN M. STEWARD, JR. / # 16 Page 5 E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is located at the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance. Over the last two (2) decades, several subdivision variances have been proposed in the vicinity of this property. As described above in the Zoning History section of this report, none of the variances granted in the last 20 years mimic the situation presented with this application In 1982, a Subdivision Variance was granted by City Council (item #4 on the Zoning History map) to allow a 15 foot wide lot width to create a "flag lot" in the then R-8 Residential District rather than the required 45 feet at the right-of-way The stated hardship in the application was that the "Present property has become a burden to owner because of upkeep and yard care. Owners are no longer at the age where they can maintain this additional lot in addition to their personal residence." The City Council at that time felt that this was indeed a hardship and granted the request The applicant's representative has noted that this current proposal is a reasonable request because it takes what the representative characterizes as a "legal Nonconforming Use" (the garage apartment) and makes it legitimate and therefore, ultimately a better situation A Subdivision Variance, however, should not be granted in order to make a bad situation into a better situation A Subdivision Variance should be granted only if a hardship meeting the criteria of Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance has been found to exist. Staff cannot support this request because it does not meet the requirements of Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance for a hardship. Most importantly, there are similar lots in terms of size, configuration and access in close proximity to this site It would be unwise to `open the door' for other property owners to explore similar opportunities where a genuine hardship does not exist Based on these factors, staff recommends that this request for a Subdivision Variance be denied. NOTE: Upon granting of a subdivision variance, a final subdivision plat must be submitted to the Development Services Center for approval and recordation. Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances. B9 Lit Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 JOHN M.

Steward, Jr. Appeal to Decisions of Administrative Officers in regard to certain elements of the Subdivision Ordinance West side of Shoveller Avenue District 5 Lynnhaven August 13, 2003 REGULAR Robert Miller: The next item is Item # 16, John M. Steward. Eddie Bourdon: Thank you. For the record, Eddie Bourdon representing Mr. John M. or Jack Steward and Jack's here with me. While you were all out, I put in front of you a couple of handouts. And, I'll explain what they are. One is our statement of support written from 32 of Jack's neighbors on Lee Avenue and the block around the property. My client has owned and resided on this property for over two decades. Close to a quarter of a century as a matter of fact. The property is zoned R-10 but it has over 32,600 square feet of land. It has two residential structures on the property. They were built in 1945. Princess Anne County in the year 1945 had no zoning and no prohibition of building multiple units on one piece of property. It is thus a legal non -conforming structure and use because there are two separate dwellings on the property. The application is to clean up that non conforming situation which handcuffs a property owner and not being able to do anything to those units without going to City Council, which does not permit him to sell one unit and derivate the other. The situation is one that doesn't come up very often but does come up. And, I have provided you with five examples of flag lot variances going back for a number of years that I did some research of the records that I keep of similar situations in the City. What I've given you are the staff comments but all of these were approved and many of the cases staff wasn't making "making recommendations." That only started a few years ago. These are all examples of non -conforming situations where two homes existed on one lot that the owner came in to clean up that non -conformity and you had to approve the subdivision variance to create the lots for the two individual homes. And, that's what exactly we have here today. Again, each lot far exceeds the required square footage but it does not have the lot frontage because by definition it's a flag lot. The two homes will continue to use the existing driveway based on the easement. That will be granted over the existing driveway. There's no intention of putting another driveway in at all. Things will not change from those that existed on this piece of property for going on sixty years. The staff evaluation at one point said the traffic generation said that the existing land use has 10 trips per day with the proposed being 20 trips per day. I don't think so. The existing since 1945 has two units on the property and that would be 20 trips today and 20 trips per day, if this is approved there's no increase in density that's taking place with this application. I would also note that on Lookout Road directly to the north of this property you will see a situation, now granted, this is R-5R zoning in this section and the R-10 on this section here. There's a flag lot configuration granted for the variance and interesting enough a flag lot for a duplex. There are two units here and two units here, four units on this property with a flag lot. You will also hopefully note that across Lee Avenue there are four flag lots. Four flag lots directly across the street from this property. Flag lots are certainly not out of keeping with the character of this neighborhood. Approving this variance for Mr. Steward will allow him to clean up his non -conforming situation and give him some flexibility as he is retired and he's going to need some ability financially if he should need, well just to care for potential medical needs, etc. and this is what this will do. There is no detriment to the character of the neighborhood. There is no change in the character of the neighborhood or the character of the property. And, that is attested to by all of these neighbors who have signed in favor of his request. Staff seems to be concerned about the potential for this repeating itself. First of all, this is misleading what you see here. It's not accurate. I've got the composite map. This house to the east of Mr. Steward's property is on two lots. There's a lot line that goes right through here. I've got a composite map if anybody wants to see it and I've shown it to staff. So, that's not possible. That property cannot have the same situation not to mention the fact from a presidential perspective there is only one house there. This is unique. There are no other situations in this area where that exists. The property to our west, this is not a house this is a garage. There are no residential units there. There's only one unit on this piece of property. It is the same size as Jack's property. The rest of these are not of sufficient size to permit any type of flag lot configuration or maybe not have two existing legally non -conforming residences on them. So, basically, you got a situation and the hardship is created by the application of the zoning ordinance to a developed piece of property that creates a non -conforming lot because it has two houses on it at the time the zoning was applied to it. What we're asking for is something that the zoning ordinance and zoning principals want to clean up and that is non -conforming uses. You want those non- conforming situations to be made conforming one way or another and this is the practicable way to make this conforming and to suggest that there is some detriment to the character of the neighborhood to have a flag lot for these two units for the unit in the back when it abuts a flag lot with a duplex on it, I think that's a stretch. So, we believe this is justified and warranted and based on previous precedence should be approved the precedence in this neighborhood and precedence city wide for cleaning up these same types of situations. We do not have any adversion or problem whatsoever with the condition that restricts the houses on these two lots to be no more than two stories in height. That's not a problem whatsoever. We also in full agreement to what we intend to do is have an easement for the driveway. The driveway will continue to be the access to both residences and not to put a second driveway in. Beyond that, I don't know what else I can offer to you that might address any concerns or issues that any of you may have but we do believe the criteria under the ordnance is met by this unique situation. We hope that you will look favorably toward the application. Ronald Ripley: Questions? Charlie. Charlie Salle': Eddie, you mentioned something about the buildings begin two stories. Is that a condition that you're proposing? Eddie Bourdon: Yeah. Well, we received this morning and I know Bruce Johnson very well and we'll be talking to Bruce. But Bruce had sent a letter, which there hasn't been a civic league meeting where this was discussed where we have any knowledge and Jack is a member of the civic league. And, in there, I thought he made reference to the desire that it not be more than a two-story building on the property or not being any larger than what's there now in terms of height. So, that is what's there now. We're perfectly amenable to a condition that it may not be more than a two-story building. And, the duplex behind us is a two-story building. I'll be very happy to a condition that restricts us to two-story in height. Charlie Salle': I haven't gone to this site but is the building in back one that would, if this was approved essentially be torn down? Eddie Bourdon: No. We don't intend to tear it down at all. Now, its not saying that it would never happen but actually Jack intends to eventually move into that building because it's a smaller unit and he doesn't need the space he has now. It's currently rented. It's not the intent to tear it down at all. Again, in the future that may happen. That's the point for restricting the height if that's a concern to anybody. We're perfectly willing to agree to that but there is no intent of tearing down either of the houses on property at this point. Ronald Ripley: Why now though, this little piece of Lee? As we know in Chesapeake Beach, there are a lot of different types of houses back in there. There are duplexes. There are a lot of things in there that aren't so great. There are some real nice homes that are back in the area. This little stretch of road is like a little nice single-family feeling. It's very nice. And, I see where you had some flag lots on the waterside and I see that there are some flag lots behind it that were on the other zoning. I guess it was the R-5 zoning but I'm just having a hard time seeing why we're going to change the lot configurations in this area. I'm not convinced. I think staff is probably correct. Eddie Bourdon: I disagree with staff and with the Chairman. The reason for now and the reason for doing it, is to clean up a non -conforming situation. Ronald Ripley: I understand that. Was it a garage and an apartment was built over the top of it? Eddie Bourdon: It has been that way since 1945 and you have two residences on one piece of property. Ronald Ripley: I know that. Eddie Bourdon: And, just like in the other five situations that I've provided you with examples of that is the zoning ordinance to get rid of non -conforming situations. One way you tear them down. The other way is you make them conforming. And, when you have a piece of property of this size that can easily be made conforming with that variance because both of the lots far exceed the square footage requirements. The idea of why now, there's no sinister motive. Jack, and I'll be more than happy to let him talk to you about this but he wants to clean up the situation for his future. He doesn't have any intention to change anything. But he has no ability to mortgage one property versus the other. He has no ability to sell one versus the other. He has not the ability to do anything to either house without going to City Council for approval. Ronald Ripley: Well, the way it's laid out right now, in my opinion, it just appears to me just a real nice single family street. I don't think we're doing anything to help the neighborhood by subdividing a lot. You may be helping the applicant and I don't disagree with that and I understand. But, I'm not convinced. Eddie Bourdon: Nothing changes with the application and that's why 32 residents have signed that they support and approve his request because I don't understand the concern that something is changing because nothing is changing. It remains single family. This isn't duplex zoning. There won't be any duplexes built here. It can't be. It's a mixed block to start wit because look what you have up here. Six units. Ronald Ripley: It's a different zoning. Eddie Bourdon: Right. That's what I'm saying. Look at the whole block and it's a mixed bag and all we're doing and that's all again, previous non -conforming situation and what we're doing is rather at some point in the future and I'm saying this will or won't happen with the demand for land, the pressure would actually, I think be increased to do something here other than what you see. This preserves the character versus having the piece of property be 32,000 square feet zoned R-10. Ronald Ripley: You could tear the building down back there. Eddie Bourdon: You could assemble two or three pieces of property and do a totally different subdivision which surely changes the character of the road because you got this 30,000 square foot piece here and 30,000 square foot piece here. Put a cul-de-sac in between and you can get into a number of scenarios with the value of the property going up. This actually does more to preserve the character of what's there and what's been there then to do nothing. Ronald Ripley: Well, I did go out and look at the property and I am familiar with Lee Avenue. And I had to go back and refresh myself and take a look at it and right after I did I said, "I just don't see the point here." I don't think it's in the best interest of the neighborhood to do it. That's just my opinion. But, I've said enough. Somebody else may have something else to say. Eddie Bourdon: The neighbors I think differ with you. Dorothy Wood: Eddie, did the City ask him to do this? I'm trying to think back where it's coming from. Eddie Bourdon: No. Dorothy Wood: No. But, he's not ever going to tear the garage down? Eddie Bourdon: That's not his intention at all. Dorothy Wood: But he could possibly? Eddie Bourdon: That can certainly happen. That could happen today for that matter. At that point, it would no longer be non -conforming. The value, as you well know, the value of your property is your ability to utilize it. And, it has been utilized since 1945 for two residential units. All he is trying to do is preserve that and provide the opportunity to upgrade it, which he doesn't have that ability to upgrade it because it's non -conforming, again, without going to City Council. And, to be able to borrow money at today's low interest to do needed repairs and upgrades to the property. Dorothy Wood: He can't repair the property? Eddie Bourdon: He can repair. He can't do anything that would in any way expand the footprint of unoccupy able space without requesting an expansion of a non -conforming use, non -conforming structure. Dorothy Wood: But he could repair. Eddie Bourdon: He can repair. Dorothy Wood: He can repair. Eddie Bourdon: He can repair. Yes ma'am. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Ronald Ripley: Are there any other comments? Yes, Jan. Janice Anderson: I know that he has a legal non -conforming use and you said that you want to rectify this situation. There's nothing forbidding him from renting out that apartment for the next twenty years like it is right now. Is that correct? Eddie Bourdon: That's correct. Janice Anderson: So, if he can use the land like he has been using it just like it is with rent. Eddie Bourdon: That's correct. He has no ability to sell it. No ability to do anything else with it other than to leave it exactly the way it is. No ability to invest money in bringing it into more habitual and better situation than what exists today. Janice Anderson: Right. But if this was granted then you're actually turning it into two single-family dwellings. Eddie Bourdon: That is what is there now, two single family dwellings. Janice Anderson: Well, it's a non -conforming that's what they've let to continue as a small garage apartment. If this was, then as you say, he could expand it, make it larger. He then has intention and he could tear it down and do a big house. Eddie Bourdon: He could tear it down and build a house that met the setback requirements. Yes, that could be done. That's correct. Janice Anderson: Right. Ronald Ripley: Charlie. Charlie Salle': Eddie, the lot that's to the east, did you say that was two lots actually where the house is built across. Eddie Bourdon: It is two lots with the house built across the property line. I got the composite map. This is the property line. Where the show the dotted line because the house is on two separate lots. Charlie Salle': And, if this was granted will the unit in back meet all the rest of the setback? Eddie Bourdon: The unit more than exceeds the setbacks everywhere except the setback of the line where we split the line between the two houses. It exceeds all the setbacks on every side except between the two units. And, we're within a couple of feet there but there is a need, which would be approved with the variance of the lot. These two are not forty feet apart. But they far exceed the side and rear setbacks. Charlie Salle': How far apart are they? Eddie Bourdon: I believe its 26. It's ten because it's a side. That's right. It's 26 between them, which is 10 foot and 20 foot so we're four feet short of the requirement and that's between the two 26 feet. Ronald Ripley: Dot. Dorothy Wood: I'd like to make a motion Mr. Chairman to deny the application for Item # 16, John Steward. Ronald Ripley: We have a motion to deny. Do I have a second? Seconded by Jan Anderson. Is there any further discussion? Charlie. Charlie Salle': Sounds like it's moving well for you this application. Actually, I don't have a problem with it in the sense that in my view that we're not really changing the situation by granting the variance The buildings exist. They're non -conforming. They've been there for many, many years. We're not increasing the density. I think what we're doing is really what we've done a lot of times as Eddie's indicated we have used this procedure to deal with non -conforming use. Make them conforming and because it's not likely that the units are going to go away. They're probably going to be there and they can be repaired, renovated. They can't be expanded but I'm sure economically there's no reason why anybody would voluntary do away with the second structure, so it's going to be there. Nothings going to change on the ground so in my opinion we're better off legitimizing what's there and allow the owner flexibility he will need if he wanted to expand it or sell whether than have to sell both units. I don't see that it has any impact on the neighborhood. I don't think there's another situation with its non -conforming use situation existing out there. So, I would have no problem in turning down the request for an adjacent lot, because I don't think this sets precedence because as I say, it's the only non -conforming situation out there. But anyway, that's the way I feel about it. Ronald Ripley: Yes, Gene. Eugene Crabtree: I agree with Charlie. I don't see where this is going to make any difference. It's going to help the homeowner. The neighbors don't seem to mind. It's been done before in the area. I don't think were setting precedence. I personally do not have any problem with this application. I'm more in favor of supporting it than I am denying it. Ronald Ripley: Barry, do you have a comment? Barry Knight: I'll have to concur with Charlie and Gene. It looks like it's been here since 1945 and if all the neighbors, they certainly don't have a problem. They don't think it's going to change the character of the neighborhood and I don't see anyway that it's going to. I'm going to have to concur with Gene and Charlie. Ronald Ripley: Is there anybody else? I'll just reiterate. I just don't think it's in the best interest of the neighborhood. You ride in and look through the neighborhood it just doesn't feel like it needs to be subdivided. It's a single-family neighborhood. It's very nice. It's a very nice section of the City. It will surprise you if you drive on to Lee Avenue and you see how pleasant that little stretch of road is and it just doesn't feel like a situation that needs to be subdivided and the applicant is not being deprived of anything. I mean he still has the property. He still can rent it. He can still live back there and rent the front out if he wished. It just doesn't put you in a position of subdividing being able to create a second lot. So, I would vote in favor of denial. So, is there anybody else? Let's call for the question. John Steward: Is it too late for me to make a couple of comments? Ronald Ripley: It is. We're kind of at the point where we ought to vote it now. Ronald Ripley: By a vote of 5-6, the motion fails. Kay Wilson: We need an affirmative vote. Ronald Ripley: We need an affirmative vote. We need another motion. Charlie Salle': I'll make a motion that we approve the application and I guess I would add as a condition that the units on the lots not exceed two -stories in height. Eugene Crabtree: I'll second it. Ronald Ripley: We have a motion to approve with the addition of limitation of the height of the building and we have a second by Gene. Is there any discussion? Let's call for the question. I'm sorry, I voted wrong. I'd like to change my vote. Ed Weeden: Would you like me to reset the vote? Ronald Ripley: Yes, reset the vote. I'm so used to voting aye.

Property is located on the west side of Shoveller Avenue, approximately 630 feet north of Mill Dam Road (GPIN 24081996300000). DISTRICT 5 — LYNNHAVEN ■ Considerations: The existing lot is 1.26 acres and currently zoned R-10 Residential District. The dimensions of the lot are 105 feet by 525 feet This depth is not characteristic of similarly zoned parcels throughout the City It is the intent of the applicant to create two (2) lots, one of which will not meet the minimum required lot width of 80. Each lot will far exceed the minimum square footage requirement of 10,000 square feet and provide ample opportunity for the construction of two (2) single- family dwellings. Due to the excessive depth of this lot, the creation of one additional lot through the granting of a variance to Section 4 4(b) of the Subdivision Ordinance appears reasonable and should not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property nor adversely affect the character of the surrounding neighborhood. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because of the unusual depth of the existing lot and each of the newly created lots would far exceed the required area for the R-10 Residential District Staff recommended approval There was no opposition to the proposal ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request with the following conditions 1.

Personal hardship does not enter into the Staffs evaluation. Above all, Staffs evaluation is based on Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance, which addresses variances to the ordinance Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states, No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that A Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship B.

Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance E The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is located at the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance. The existing lot is 1 26 acres and currently zoned R-10 Residential District. Each lot will far exceed the minimum square footage requirement of 10,000 square feet and provide ample opportunity for the construction of two (2) single-family dwellings The dimensions of the lot are 105 feet by 525 feet, characterizing it as a lot that is uncharacteristically deep for similarly zoned parcels throughout the City Due to the excessive depth of this lot, the creation of one additional lot through the granting of a variance to Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Ordinance appears reasonable and should not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property nor adversely affect the character of the surrounding neighborhood.

Appeal to Decisions of Administrative Officers in regard to certain elements of the Subdivision Ordinance West side of Shoveller Avenue District 5 Lynnhaven August 13, 2003 CONSENT Dorothy Wood- The second is Item #15. It is an Appeal to Decisions of Administrative Officers in regard to certain elements of the Subdivision Ordinance, Subdivision of H.A.V., Inc. Property is located on the west of Shoveller Avenue near Mill Dam. It has two conditions. Mr. Bourdon. Eddie Bourdon: Thank you. Eddie Bourdon for the record representing the applicant. We have no objections to the conditions and appreciate being on the consent agenda. Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Is there any opposition to Item # 15? Hearing none. Do you want to comment on that now? Mr. Din, would you like to comment? William Din: Yes. Just to provide a little comment on why the Planning Commission has placed this on consent. The purpose of this is to create two lots on a 1.26-acre parcel. One of these lots will not meet the minimum requirement of 80 feet of lot width so a subdivision variance is required. Because of the size of the lot, each lot subdivided will far exceed the minimal lot size of 10,000 square feet. The intent is to put two single- family dwellings on it. The lot is long and narrow so some unusual circumstances in that case. We felt that it would not be a detriment to the character of this area and therefore placed it on consent. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Mr. Ripley, I would move to approve number #15 with two conditions. Ronald Ripley: So we have a motion by Dot Wood to approve. Do I have a second? Seconded by Barry Knight.

DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE The purpose of this request is to include a childcare and education center as a use associated with the church currently operating on the site ■ Considerations: The site is currently developed with a sanctuary and fellowship hall, classroom building and parking lot The site is currently zoned R-10 Residential District. A Conditional Use Permit for a church expansion was granted on the site on November 10, 1998. The applicant desires to operate a childcare and education center for children aged six weeks to five years.

BEACH FREEWILL BAPTIST / # 19 Page 3 rOa`:t4`N�n B�1`'P� F Z��u ; S Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan recommends the use of this site for suburban residential purposes. The plan also recognizes that certain non-residential activities, such as schools, places of worship, and parks are appropriate within these areas. Summary of Proposal • The applicant is requesting to be allowed to operate a childcare and education center for children aged six weeks to five years. The center will operate from 6.30 am to 6 30 pm Monday through Friday. The maximum occupancy of the center is 46 children with 13 staff members. • When construction on the new main sanctuary was recently completed, the older buildings behind the sanctuary were converted into classroom spaces These buildings are where the childcare and education center will be located. • The right turn lane on Witchduck Road required with the sanctuary addition by the Conditional Use Permit granted in 1998 has been installed. The church also has access from Grayson Road. • There is an outdoor play area in the rear of the site and an arts and crafts/picnic pavilion next to the play area • No changes to the physical improvements on site are proposed Evaluation of Request The request for a Conditional Use Permit for a childcare and education center is acceptable. The education center proposed will not have a substantial impact on traffic in the area due to the limited number of participants (46 children). The education center is an appropriate use at this location and will provide a needed service to the surrounding residential community. It is recommended that the Conditional Use Permit for a childcare and education center be approved with the following conditions. Conditions 1 The childcare and education center is limited to an enrollment of 46 children. Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 VA.

DISTRICT 1 — CENTERVILLE The purpose of this request is to construct a current 2,500 square foot addition and a future 3,767 square foot addition. ■ Considerations: The property is currently used as a church and is zoned R-5D Residential. The original Conditional Use Permit for the existing church was granted on January 25, 1994 Since that use permit, an expansion to the church was approved in 1996 The applicant is requesting a 2,500 square foot expansion of the existing 10,000 square foot church The proposed current expansion will be a 25-foot by100-foot addition to the front (south) facade. The seating capacity will not be increased by this addition. The elevation of the additions depicts attractive, architecturally compatible improvements. The future 3,767 square foot addition is proposed to increase the seating capacity from 220 to 435. The date of these future phase improvements is not known The church is seeking a variance, from the Board of Zoning Appeals, of 7 feet to allow for a 23-foot front yard building setback as well as a variance to required on -site parking The existing parking lot is actually located on property owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation (identified as a Park and Ride lot).

Summary of Proposal Proposal • The applicant is requesting a 2,500 square foot expansion of the existing 10,000 square foot church The proposed expansion will be a 25-foot by100-foot addition to the front (south) facade. The seating capacity will not be increased by this addition. • The future 3,767 square foot addition is proposed to increase the seating capacity from 220 to 435. The date of these future phase improvements is not known. Site Design • The site has frontage on both Josephine Crescent and Stickland Boulevard; however, access is limited to Strickland Boulevard. No change to the existing ingress/egress is proposed • The front of the existing church faces Indian River Road and this is where the earliest expansion (2,500 square feet) is proposed. A future expansion (3,767 square feet) to increase the seating capacity of the sanctuary is proposed to the east and mimics the west end of the building in terms of height and design. This second phase will actually help to "balance" the budding • The church is seeking a variance, from the Board of Zoning Appeals, of 7 feet to allow for a 23 foot front yard building setback as well as a variance to required on - site parking The existing parking lot is actually located on property owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation (identified as a Park and Ride lot) A copy of Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 AVALON HILLS BIBLE CHURCH/ # 22 Page 4 the encroachment agreement for the parking area has been submitted with this application. • The parking lot is proposed for expansion and improvement. The site plan indicates that a total of 93 parking spaces will be constructed. This meets the minimum parking standard in the Zoning Ordinance of 1 space per 5 seats, or 87 spaces, which is sufficient for the future expansion to 435 seats. • A stormwater management facility is depicted to the east of the future expansion and located in perhaps the only remaining "stand" of trees on the site The applicant has indicated that alternative sites for the facility were reviewed but that this location was deemed the best in order to accomplish the desired design of the parking lot expansion, etc. Vehicular and Pedestrian Access • One singular ingress/egress is provided from Strickland Boulevard. • Pedestrian access appears to be adequate. Architectural Design • The existing structure has a reddish brick exterior with dark gray asphalt shingle roof. • The elevation of the proposed 2,500 square foot expansion depicts a brick exterior with an arcade supported with white columns Four (4) large windows are shown on either side of the renovated entrance. A large pediment covers the entry doors with a steeple beyond This addition will be flush (other than the pediment that will extend NEW ELEVATION SCALE t J8'= t'-4" Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 AVALON HILLS BIBLE CHURCH/ # 22 Page 5 beyond) with the western portion of the structure, as currently, this section of the building is recessed. • A future expansion (3,767 square feet) for the sanctuary expansion is proposed to the east and mimics the west end of the building in terms of height and design. This second phase will actually help to "balance" the building. Building materials for this "second phase" will match those of the existing structure as well as the proposed first phase, 2,500 square foot addition Landscape and Open Space • While not depicted on the plan, requirements for interior parking lot landscaping and foundation landscaping must be met Further review of these standards will be done during site plan review. • A condition of approval is recommended that requires Category I landscaping be installed along the length of the eastern foundation (70 feet) to provide a visual buffer, over time, to the metal building. Evaluation of Request Staff recommends approval of this request for the expansions to the church subject to the conditions below The elevation of the additions depicts attractive, architecturally compatible improvements The applicant is aware that variances must be obtained from the Board of Zoning Appeals in order to construct these improvements as depicted on the preliminary site plan. Staff has included a condition below that requires that foundation landscaping and interior parking lot landscaping be installed to meet the standards of the City Zoning Ordinance. This parking lot is mostly devoid of landscaping and this renovation of the parking area as well as the proposed parking addition provides a good opportunity to bring the site up to current standards %a BEq Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 AVALON HILLS BIBLE CHURCH/ # 22 Page 6 Conditions 1 The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the site plan entitled "AVALON HILLS BIBLE CHURCH, PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN," prepared by The Spectra Group, dated May 27, 2003, which has been exhibited to the City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 2 The proposed two (2) additions shall be constructed in substantial conformance with the elevation entitled "FACILITY EXPANSION," prepared by Andre Marquez Architects, dated July 2003, which has been exhibited to the City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.

Finally, the Planning Department, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any of the units within Parcels A, B and C, must approve the Restoration Plan • The fence and landscaping as described above, minus the tree preservation/restoration area, along the rights -of -way adjacent to Parcels A and B will be carried along the entire length of South Plaza Trail and South Independence, along the luxury multi -family property lines adjacent to these rights -of -way • The landscape design for the northeastern corner of South Plaza Trail and South Independence Boulevard intersection consists of large shade trees, small flowering trees, large and low growing evergreen shrubs and a large annual planting bed This extensive landscape treatment is possible as the applicant redesigned the proposed parking lot to avoid installing asphalt to the edge of the right-of-way The result will be an attractive design that will enhance to curb appeal of the apartment complex. • Along the entire eastern property line, adjacent to the Timberlake neighborhood, a 25-foot wide swath of existing trees will remain. While there is a ditch in the vicinity of the property line, the centerline of this ditch is not on the subject property. The applicant's engineer has indicated that this ditch will not be needed for any drainage nor will it need to be improved in any way, therefore, the existing vegetation can remain. A solid six (6) foot high wood fence is proposed along this eastern property line as well The wood fence, rather than a more maintenance free white vinyl material, was selected as it was viewed as less obvious and a natural compliment to the remaining woody vegetation. PD-H2 Land Use Plan for the Residential Units The detailed PD-H2 Land Use Plan for the residential parcels is contained within proffer number 13 below. t' Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 CH & B / # 6179 8, & 9 Page 15 structures Brick veneer proposed at the water table will also add an attractive architectural detail Landscape and Open Space • The Brenneman Farm, the property under consideration, is identified as a Top Priority in the City of Virginia Beach Outdoors Plan for potential athletic facilities. Based on the 1999 population figures, the Department of Parks and Recreation indicates a 288-acre deficient open space in this part of the City. • The minimum acreage required for open space for a development of this size is 15 percent or 12.36 acres. The proposed zoning plan depicts 14 55 acres reserved as P-1 Preservation District. • A 14 acre wooded parcel that bisects the residential parcels (east to west) is proposed as P-1 Preservation District and will serve as the primary consolidated open space area for the development. At one time, at least 11 acres of this area was deemed as wetlands as defined by the United States Corps of Engineers. However, the property is dry enough to support passive recreational uses Walking and biking trails are depicted within the open space as well as an optional recreation area (possible tennis courts) for use by the occupants of the multi -family units (apartments). • The extensive details of the proffered landscaping for entrance plans, fencing, tree preservation and restoration, and signage can be found within the Brenneman Farm Development Manual. A synopsis of the highlights is discussed below • The proffered plan depicts a 25-foot wide tree preservation area along South Plaza Trail, the southern property line adjacent to parcels zoned R-7 5 and along the eastern property line adjacent to the Timberlake community. Specifically, the landscaping along South Plaza Trail and Brenneman Trail, fronting Parcel A, and along South Independence Boulevard the length of Parcel B consists of a sidewalk, a two (2)-rail white vinyl fence with brick columns, small flowering trees between the sidewalk and the fence, a wax myrtle hedge beyond the fence and a 25-foot wide tree reservation/restoration area After initial clearing of the site, the applicant has proffered to meet with the Planning Department to schedule a review of existing vegetation within the restoration area. During this review, it will be determined where additional plantings shall occur to provide a Category IV -type screen within the restoration area. A "Restoration Plan" will then be submitted to the Planning Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 CH&B/#6,758,&9 Page 14 windows that appear to be double -sash are trimmed with wide white vinyl with keystones at the head Keystones are also depicted above the garages Additional architectural accents depicted on the elevation include standing seam metal roofs and premium vinyl shake. These units will be approximately 2,100 square feet. • The three (3)-story Carriage Homes are depicted with rear -loaded garages. Exterior front building materials proposed include brick veneer and premium beaded vinyl siding with vinyl shake used for accent The sides and the backs of the units are proposed with premium beaded vinyl siding. The units are proposed with gable roofs and gable or dormer accents on the roofs covered with architectural grade asphalt shingles. The covered front entries all have a second story porch above Mullion windows, mostly double -sash, with keystone heads are shown on the drawing Arched brick detailing on the window is proposed on the brick front units The carriage homes will range in size from 2,190 square feet to 2,633 square feet. • The four (4)-story luxury multi -family units (apartments) are depicted with a reddish brick veneer on the first floor that transitions to premium beaded vinyl siding (light yellow to beige color) then transitions again at the fourth floor into cedar shake style vinyl siding (same color as the beaded vinyl) Dark brown architectural style shingles cover the roof with dormers as accents Vinyl coated aluminum clad wood trim is proposed on the stairwells, and other accent features All buildings will have two (2) elevators. o The elevation for the clubhouse for the apartments described above depicts most of the same exterior building materials and colors, other than the vinyl shake, as the apartments The drawing shows a one (1)-story structure with a hip roof with a center atrium skylight A reddish brick is proposed along the water table. Mission style clerestory windows with mullions are depicted above casement or fixed rectangle shaped windows. The covered entrance is shown with a pediment extending out from the building. o The detached garages available for the occupants of the apartments mimic the design of the clubhouse. The elevation depicts the identical colors and building material as the clubhouse creating cohesiveness throughout the community The structures are proposed with hip roofs with dormers Each of the five (5) garage doors shown on the front fagade will have three (3) windows The center garage unit is covered with a pediment with white columns on both sides of this garage door provide an illusion of a main entry, providing interest and style to the Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 CH&B1#61718,&9 Page 13 wall with a sign rather than a freestanding sign • A pump station is depicted on the east side of South Plaza Trail This station will provide sewer service to the development. Vehicular and Pedestrian Access • No direct access will be provided to any of the residential parcels via South Plaza Trail or South Independence Boulevard. All interior road systems will be private and, as such, maintenance and trash collection will be done privately • An extensive pedestrian trail system of "rolled stone" is planned throughout the open space areas with multiple access points in each parcel and one direct access to the sidewalk proposed along South Plaza Trail. Rolled stone can be described as small pieces of compacted granite and is actually more flat than round. Rolled stone is suitable for both biking and walking. Architectural Design • The two (2) story townhouse elevation depicts transitional style units where the predominate exterior building material is premium beaded vinyl siding. The units are proposed with gable roofs and gable front ends covered with architectural grade asphalt shingles. Some of the units are shown with dormer windows on the roofs, and all units are proposed with small Palladian window accents. Mullion windows that appear to be double -sash are trimmed with wide white vinyl clad with keystones at the head. Keystones are also depicted above the garages The covered entries vary in design and have either a shed or a gable end roof. Architectural accents such as standing seam metal roofs, and the use of brick and premium shake vinyl are also portrayed The sides and the backs of the units are proposed with premium beaded vinyl siding. These units are proposed with square footages ranging from 1,586 to 1,767 The three (3)-story townhome elevation depicts transitional style units similar to the units described above for Parcel A The predominate exterior building material is premium beaded vinyl siding The first floor fronts are shown with brick veneer accents. The sides and the backs of the units are proposed with premium beaded vinyl siding. Raised, uncovered entrances are shown, typical of an urban setting, with a second story Palladian window above The units are proposed with gable roofs and gable or dormer accents on the roofs covered with architectural grade asphalt shingles Mullion Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 CH&B/#617989&9 Page 12 Due to the apartment complex proposed on the Parcel to the west, these three (3) story units provide a good transition, as the height of the two (2) styles of dwellings are similar. Developing this parcel with the single-family attached or the two (2) story townhouses could give the appearance that the apartments are out of scale with the remainder of the residential development. As with the two (2) story townhouses on Parcel A, the proffers limit the number of joined units to six (6) According to the conceptual development plan, 55 units will back up to open space and the lake system. The goal of the design was to provide desirable views to as many of the units as possible. • Condominium Parcel C, totaling 17 8 acres, will be developed with Carriage Style homes, attached in the rear with double car garages This parcel is to the east of Parcel A, adjacent to the Timberlake residential community Access will be from the Brenneman Trail right-of-way The proffers limit the number of dwelling units to 128. These units will be rear loaded and served by both 12-foot wide alleys and private streets. The majority of these units will have views of either open space, a lake or a 25 foot wide vegetated buffer. The design is reminiscent of neo-traditional site planning in terms of the site layout and unit design • The proposed Luxury Multi -Family parcel is located at the southeastern intersection of South Plaza Trail and South Independence Boulevard The 20- acre site is limited by the proffer agreement to no more than 304 units (apartments) In addition to ten, four (4) story buildings, the concept plan also depicts a clubhouse with a pool and seven (7) detached garage units along both South Plaza Trail and South Independence Boulevard. The clubhouse is depicted immediately at the entrance into the site. A large lake, serving aesthetic purposes only, is proposed within the interior of the site, providing an attractive amenity within the development. Initially, the layout depicted the parking lot up to the right-of-way at the intersection of South Plaza Trail and South Independence, a typical corner treatment The applicant has since revised the design and the parking lot's edge of pavement is now approximately 100 feet from the right-of-way This enables additional landscaping to be installed at this highly traveled and visible intersection aiding in "softening" the overall scale of the project. • Identification signage is proposed with extensive landscaping at several locations throughout the property The elevations of the identification signs depict predominately brick monument style signs with a white sign face and precast concrete finials that top each end of the signs The entry sign for the apartment complex is shown with much more brick and resembles more of a Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 CH & B / # 6, 7189 & 9 Page 11 • There are four (4) existing lakes that are designed to serve as stormwater management facilities for the future development. Future facilities are also depicted on the plan for the commercial and office parcels The final locations and the necessity of these ponds/lakes will ultimately be determined during final site plan review. • There is a 13.7 acre parcel currently zoned PD-H1 and identified in the current Land Use Plan as office that has been sold and is not under the ownership of the applicant and, is therefore, not part of this rezoning request. Residential Parcels Site Design • All of the residential parcels will be located on the southeast side of South Plaza Trail. An interior pedestrian trail system, composed of "rolled stone" is proposed throughout the open space areas with at least two (2) "formal" access points to the residential parcels A children's play area is planned on approximately 1.43 acres, located between Condominium Parcels B and C An optional 2.25-acre recreational area for use exclusively by the multi -family apartment occupants is depicted within the 11 acre open space area. Only amenities permitted under the P-1 Preservation District zoning will be allowed within these areas. • Condominium Parcel A, 13.8 acres, will be developed with no more than 125 two (2) story townhouses. The conceptual layout of this parcel depicts vehicular ingress/egress from the existing Brenneman Trail right-of-way. These front -loading units will be accessed via a private street system. This parcel has approximately 1,500 feet of frontage along South Plaza Trail The proffers limit the number of joined units to no more than six (6); however, the plan shows the units with three (3), four (4) and (5) unit groupings. Of the ten units immediately adjacent to South Plaza Trail, only three (3) units have the rear of the structure facing this right-of-way. The design goal was to ensure that visually there would be "breaks" as one traveled along the roadway Up to 38 of the proposed units, will enjoy views of the existing lake and/or back up directly to the wooded open space • Condominium Parcel B, 29.97 acres, will be developed with no more than 165 three (3) story townhomes. This parcel will be located at the northeast corner of the site, adjacent to the Timberlake community Vehicular access will be from a proposed variable width right-of-way leading to South Plaza Trail These front -loading units will be accessed via a private road system Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 CH & B / # 69 7, 8, & 9 Page 10 degrade the affected roadways below acceptable standards, the review of the site's existing natural resources and incorporation into the layout of the development, and the use of conditional rezoning to ensure adherence to proposed development criteria Summary of Proposal Proposal • To change the zoning of 81.57 acres of property (this 81.57 acre figure does not include lakes or open space) currently zoned PD-H1, located at the southeast side of South Plaza Trail and identified in the Land Use Plan as single-family dwellings, apartments and condominiums, to Conditional A-12 Apartment District with a PD-H2 Overlay for the development of: 1) 304 luxury multi -family apartments on 20 acres at the southeast corner of South Independence Boulevard and South Plaza Trail (Parcel D), 2) 125 2-story townhouses on 13.8 acres (Parcel A), 3) 165 3-story townhouses on 29 97 acres (Parcel B), and 4) 128 attached single-family dwellings on 17.8 acres (Parcel C) The total number of units on Parcels A, B and C will not exceed 418. • To change the zoning of 14.55 acres of property currently zoned PD-H1 to P- 1 Preservation District.

The current PD-H1 zoning will be replaced with Conditional B-2, Conditional 0-2 and A-12 with a PD-H2 Overlay Zoning History The Brenneman Farm Land Use Plan was originally approved by City Council as a PUD in June of 1971. This plan was comprised of 241 acres and consisted of mixed residential uses with a total of 1,024 units, 16 acres of commercial development, and a 23 acre office park. No details of the development were provided other than a general land use plan. In 1982, the City Council rezoned all properties in the PUD zoning district in Virginia Beach to PD-H 1. In 1992, 15 acres were rezoned from PD-H1 to R-10 Residential District and a Conditional Use Permit for the Catholic High School was granted. This acreage had been designated for townhouse development. Another 1992 amendment to the Land Use Plan was approved to replace the number of townhomes "lost" on the 15 acres removed from the plan The City Council again reviewed and approved a plan that shifted the townhouse density from the east side of Princess Anne Road to the west side of Princess Anne Road and incorporated two (2) additional properties into the Land BF,,gcyL Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 CH&B/#617,89&9 Page 5 Land Use, Zoning, and Site Characteristics: Existing Land Use and Zoning The entire 161 acres under consideration today is currently zoned PD-H1 Planned Unit Development.

In addition, two other adjacent parcels, both currently zoned R-7.5 Residential District and totaling approximately 7 acres, are also proposed to be rezoned to Conditional B-2 Community Business District The 27 acres of B-2 property will be located at the northern corner of the South Plaza Trail and Princess Anne Road intersection • To change the zoning of 39.7 acres of PD-H1 and identified on the current Land Use Plan as four (4) acres of office use, 12 acres of condominiums, 16 acres of retirement/independent living units and future right-of-way and stormwater management facilities to Conditional 0-2 Office District. The proposed 0-2 parcel will be located on the northwest corner of the property, adjacent to the South Independence and South Plaza Trail intersection. • There are four (4) existing lakes that are designed to serve as stormwater management facilities for the future development. Future facilities are also depicted on the plan for the commercial and office parcels. The final locations and the necessity of these ponds/lakes will ultimately be determined during final site plan review. • There is a 13.7 acre parcel currently zoned PD-H1 and identified in the current Land Use Plan as office that has been sold and is not under the ownership of the applicant (owned by Bon Secours) and, is therefore, not part of this rezoning request Staff and the Planning Commission agree that the proposed elimination of the existing PD-H1 zoning on these parcels is a reasonable and appropriate request, as this designation limits the flexibility necessary to develop the farm to its fullest potential, benefiting the developer and assisting the City of Virginia Beach to reach its goals and objectives as expressed in the Comprehensive Plan. This proposed rezoning significantly improves the development pattern of the property, as it is also more compatible with surrounding residential uses, and provides large tracts of land zoned for office use, which will assist the City of Virginia Beach in its economic development goals Adequate safeguards are in place, through the use of Conditional Zoning Agreements, to ensure high quality development Staff recommended approval There was no opposition to the requests CH&B Page 2 of 4 To shift all of the residential acreage to the south side of South Plaza Trail and to eliminate the retirement/independent living component To maintain the same number of residential units allowed under the current PD- H1 Land Use Plan, but to construct those units on fewer acres (from 120.8 acres to 94 19 acres with an increase in density from 5 87 units per acre to 7 66 units per acre) Note: the density for just the area that qualifies for density (excluding the open space and similar land) equates to 10 43 units per acre This is below density permitted by the underlying A-12 Apartment District zoning of 12 units per acre ■ Considerations: The Brenneman Farm Land Use Plan was originally approved by City Council as a PUD in June of 1971. This plan was comprised of 241 acres and consisted of mixed residential uses with a total of 1,024 units, 16 acres of commercial development, and a 23 acre office park. No details of the development were provided other than a general land use plan In 1982, the City Council rezoned all properties in the PUD zoning district in Virginia Beach to PD-H1 In 1992, 15 acres were rezoned from PD-H1 to R-10 Residential District and a Conditional Use Permit for the Catholic High School was granted. This acreage had been designated for townhouse development. Another 1992 amendment to the Land Use Plan was approved to replace the number of townhomes "lost" on the 15 acres removed from the plan. The City Council again reviewed and approved a plan that shifted the townhouse density from the east side of Princess Anne Road to the west side of Princess Anne Road and incorporated two (2) additional properties into the Land Use Plan This change again reduced the number of townhouses allowed on the property (from 285 to 240). Most recently in 1998, City Council approved another amendment that resulted in the current Land Use Plan described in the attached staff report The proposed changes are • To change the zoning of 81.57 acres of property (this 81.57 acre figure does not include lakes or open space) currently zoned PD-H1, located at the southeast side of South Plaza Trail and identified in the Land Use Plan as single-family dwellings, apartments and condominiums, to Conditional A-12 Apartment District with a PD-H2 Overlay for the development of: 1) 304 luxury multi -family apartments on 20 acres at the southeast corner of South Independence Boulevard and South Plaza Trail (Parcel D), 2) 125 2-story townhouses on 13 8 acres (Parcel A), 3) 165 3-story townhouses on 29 97 acres (Parcel B), and 4) 128 attached single-family dwellings on 17 8 acres (Parcel C) The total number of units on Parcels A, B and C will not exceed 418 • To change the zoning of 14 55 acres of property currently zoned PD-H1 to P-1 Preservation District This land will serve as the primary open space CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: CH & B Associates, L.L.P. — Change of Zoning District Classification MEETING DATE: September 9, 2003 ■ Background: An Ordinance upon Application of CH & B Associates, L.L.P. for a Change of Zoning District Classification from PD-H 1 Planned Development Housing to Conditional A-12 Apartment District and Conditional P-1 Preservation District with PD-1-12 Overlays on the southeast corner of South Independence Boulevard and South Plaza Trail (GPIN 1476727504).

The Comprehensive Plan recommends use of this site as a Planned Community, consisting of a range of residential, employment, commercial, institutional, cultural, educational, open space and public uses. DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE The purpose of the requests is as follows - To increase the acreage of commercial property (from 16 acres to 27 6 acres) and relocate it all to the north side of South Plaza Trail To increase the acreage of office property (from 23 acres to 39.7 acres) and relocate it all to the north side of South Plaza Trail •l: 2-1-00 - Conditional Use Permit (Church expansion) —Approved 2-24-98 - Conditional Use Permit (Cell Tower) — Approved 10-28-97 - Conditional Use Permit (Church expansion) —Approved Billy Garrington: Then you had CSI, the septic tank people but you're right. He's taken a huge number of smaller lots that he's comglomerated them together and what he's doing is bonus Eugene Crabtree: I don't know of anyone in this district or this area that would not terribly approve of this. Ronald Ripley: Gene, I take it that's a support. Eugene Crabtree: Yes sir. I sure do support it wholeheartedly. Ronald Ripley: Was that a motion? Eugene Crabtree: Yes sir. I'll make a motion that we approve that we approve this application as written with the conditions as stated. Ronald Ripley: Motion by Gene Crabtree. Seconded by Kathy Katsias. Does anybody else need to comment? Robert Miller: I need to abstain from this one. My firm is working on the project. Ronald Ripley: Does anybody else wish to say anything? Is there anybody here opposed to it or who wishes to speak for against it? Okay. Thank you. Billy Garrington: Thank you Mr. Chairman. Ronald Ripley: We have a motion and a second. A little bit out of order but we get to the same place. Let's call for the question. AYE 10 NAY 0 ANDERSON AYE CRABTREE AYE DIN AYE HORSLEY AYE KATSIAS AYE KNIGHT AYE MILLER RIPLEY AYE SALLE' AYE STRANGE AYE WOOD AYE ABS 1 ABSENT 0 Ronald Ripley: By a vote of 10-0, with Mr. Miller abstaining, the motion carries. recently opened up right there on the edge of Interstate 264 as you're going west into the City of Norfolk. Ronald Ripley: Is that a picture of the body shop? Billy Garrington: No sir. The body shop is already there. This is a picture of the building that will take place of the existing Nissan store, you have the S&S property, which is behind it, which is zoned I-1. I-1 doesn't even allow motor vehicles sales and services to be on the property. So, we've got 14.6 acres of and out there of which less than one acre is still zoned I-1, which won't even allow the type of operation that we want to do. So, the rezoning is to allow this new facility to be built and the Conditional Use Permit is to take down the existing facility that is out there now and put this facility in place of it. And, as a part of the master plan that you see is what's going out there, you also see this after market building, which is here. This is where the Holloway Tree service was originally. This is a used car building. And, this over here is just another future franchise building because in the car dealership the car business franchises come and go at a moment's notice. Right now, that property is encumbered with the service department. The point there being is that if your in the sales department looking at a car and you need to go across the street and into the service department you have to go completely outside into the elements. That's a bad design and if any of you have been on this body for a while, this facility was originally built and it wasn't a car dealership. It was a camping store. Mr. Welch built it. It's not conducive to automobile sales and service. This is a state of the art facility designed by the Nissan people that will accommodate his needs probably for the next 10-15, maybe even 20-30 years. So, that's what you have is that major conglomeration of 20-30 foot wide lots that Mr. Hall has bought at a very high price. And trust me, there are other small parcels of land out there now that Mr. Hall presently doesn't own but I can promise you that he will pursue diligently and at some point in time he will probably own 99 percent of everything that is out there. It's an asset to the City of Virginia Beach, economically creating jobs. It's a benefit to everyone and it's taking an existing facility and it's just expanding it and making it nicer than what was already there before. There are several conditions in here and I got to thank Barbara Duke immensely for her working with us and conditions that the staff has put in their write up in regards to this application and we are in total agreement with all of the conditions that the staff have worked with and we would respectfully ask your approval of this request today. Ronald Ripley: Okay. Are there any comments or questions? Yes, Gene Crabtree. Eugene Crabtree: Well, this is in my district and I go by there everyday. I have lived in this district since it was Princess Anne County. There is no way in the world that this will not improve Bonney Road. It is a tremendous improvement to that neighborhood and this district. I personally commend you folks on what you're doing to that property. I dealt with the tree cutting service and Mr. Holloway for years. I hated to see him go but it's an improvement. Yes. Item # 17 & 18 Kenneth A. Hall Family, Ltd. Partnership Change of Zoning District Classification Conditional Use Permit 3757 Bonney Road District 3 Rose Hall August 13, 2003 REGULAR Robert Miller: The next items are Items #17 & 18, Ken Hall Family, Ltd. Billy Garrington: Good afternoon Mr. Chairman. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Garrington, how are you today? Billy Garrington: Ladies and gentlemen of the Planning Commission, for the record Billy Garrington here today on behalf of the applicant Mr. Kenneth Hall on Hall Family Member Partnership better known as Hall Auto World in Virginia Beach. I ask for your approval for this rezoning and this Conditional Use Permit for certain property located on Bonney Road. Mr. Chairman, there's two applications here and in the essence of saving time is it okay if we locked the two of them together. Ronald Ripley: Please do. Billy Garrington: That way I can leave this podium as briefly as I have to be and trust me I want to get out of here worse than you do. I would like to see if you have a site photo of the S&S warehouse that we're going to be tearing down. Don't have it? That's a shame. That's got to be by design. Because that is without a doubt one of the ugliest buildings in the City of Virginia Beach. And, if I could show you the building that we are to take down and how bad it looks and if any of you went out to the site visit you have seen it. And then show you this picture that we want to replace it with I don't even think I could mess this application up Mr. Chairman. I think I would be here less time then I'm going to be. But even though you don't have those pictures let me just tell you if you looked at what Mr. Hall is doing on Bonney Road corridor in the past 5-7 years, he has been massing large acres and quantities of property out there, consolidating those into bigger parcels of land and he has done an economic development out there that is so good for the City of Virginia Beach it is unbelievable. Most of the land was vacant. Some of it was used for businesses that were no longer even compatible for that area. You had that tree cutting service back there which was not very pretty. You had the septic tank company back there and you also have the S&S properties that we have bought, which is commonly referred to as, "looks like a junkyard." There are dismantled, inoperative junk vehicles all over the place. And in return for that property being taken down you will put this facility in place. This is exactly the second biggest crown jewel that you have on the property that Mr. Hall is developing. The first one would be that body shop that has just V a PM4 ii: CM Z ONE4 N Aft iSCLOSURE STATEDE &T Applicant's tame ��� �� � � =�._._ Fis f_ - - ^ :SAS _ �.,� List All Current (� Property Owners: � • �. �� _� � _ _ _ __ APPLICANT DISCLOSURE If the applicant is a CORPORATION, list all officers of the Corporation below: (Attach list if necessary; If the applicant is a PARTNERSHIP, FIRM, or other UNINCORPORATED ORGANIZATION, list all mem ers or partners in the organization below: (Attach list if necessary)� Ej Check here if the applicant is NOT a corporation, partnership, firm, or other unincorporated organization. if the applicant is not the current owner of the propert)6 complete the property Owner Disclosure section below.

Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 KENNETH A. HALL FAMILY, LTD PARTNERSHIP / # 17 & 18 Page 14 Evaluation of Request The request for a rezoning from B-2 Community Business District to 1-1 Light Industrial District on 1.7 acres and the request for a Conditional Use Permit for auto sales/service on 14.6 acres is acceptable. The applicant has provided a master plan that will govern development on the site during the next three to five years. The existing buildings on the site will be demolished and replaced by new buildings in phases. All new buildings will follow a defined architectural style that will help to improve the quality of the overall business and will enhance the surrounding area. The improvements shown are consistent with the goal in the Comprehensive Plan of improving this area to achieve greater economic potential from the existing properties The request for a rezoning from B-2 Community Business District to 1-1 Light Industrial District on 1.7 acres and the request for a Conditional Use Permit for auto sales/service on 14.6 acres is recommended for approval with the following conditions. Conditions 1. This Conditional Use Permit supersedes the Conditional Use Permits previously approved for portions of this site on August 11, 1986, October 13, 1986 and December 10, 2002. The development of the site shall substantially conform with the site plan entitled "Hall Properties, Bonney Road, Virginia Beach" dated May 30, 2003 exhibited to City Council and on file in the Planning Department. 2. The 37,000 square foot building shall be developed in substantial conformance with the rendering entitled "Hall Nissan, Front Elevation - Bonney Road" and "Hall Nissan, Right Side Elevation — Butternut Lane" dated May 30, 2003 as exhibited to City Council and on file in the Planning Department. 3.

Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 KENNETH A. HALL FAMILY, LTD PARTNERSHIP / # 17 & 18 Page 13 • All of the curb cuts shown on the proposed site plan exist and there are no changes proposed to the general vehicle circulation patterns on the site, except that one existing substandard entrance on Bonney Road in front of the Nissan building will be removed. • The three buildings facing Bonney Road have provided customer parking in the front, as well as display areas. Architectural Design • The applicant has submitted an elevation for the 37,000 square foot Hall Nissan sales building. The elevation shows a 24 foot tall structure. The front of the structure facing Bonney Road contains storefront display windows with silver fixed aluminum louvers flanked by white flat aluminum composite panels. The rear of the building would be concrete block painted light gray. Red accents and signage are also proposed. • No elevations have been submitted for the other three new buildings shown on the plan, but the applicant has indicated that the architecture will be compatible and in keeping with the style and colors of the main building. • The submitted elevation shows a building that is complementary to the new auto body shop (collision center) that is currently under construction. The same general color scheme and materials are used in both structures. Landscape and Open Space Design • The submitted site plan shows the required street frontage landscaping along all parking areas. The site plan also shows the required foundation landscaping for the new buildings and the landscaping required along the perimeter of the vehicle storage area • Some interior parking lot landscaping is shown on the submitted site plan. This landscaping will be reviewed and refined in accordance with the regulations for display areas during detailed site plan review Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 KENNETH A. HALL FAMILY, LTD PARTNERSHIP / # 17 & 18 Page 12 • The master plan shows the extension of a 50 foot right-of-way reservation along the boundary of 1-264, consistent with the reservation provided- on the collision center site. There is a parking area located within the right-of-way reservation, but the aftermarket building proposed on this portion of the site is set back 40 feet from the right-of-way reservation. Street frontage landscaping consistent with the landscaping provided on the collision center site is also shown within the reservation area • The proposed Nissan building, located between Butternut Street and Spruce Street is the largest of the four new buildings, measuring 37,000 square feet. The master plan shows the phasing of construction for the new buildings and parking/display/storage areas. The 37,000 square foot Nissan building and associated parking/display areas will be constructed as the first phase. The second phase will consist of a 15,000 square foot dealership building, parking/display areas and an enclosed body shop storage area. The third phase will consist of a new sales building for used cars, a new building for aftermarket adjustments and associated parking/display areas. Aftermarket adjustments include items such as window tinting, stereo installation, pin striping, etc. • The master plan shows that all vehicle parking/display/storage areas will be paved and landscaped and that the storage area on the east side of Chestnut Avenue will be enclosed with a 6 foot high solid privacy fence and landscaping. • There is an existing 180 foot tall monopole communication tower located on the east side of Butternut Lane, between the auto body shop that is currently under construction and the new 37,000 square foot sales building. This tower and the associated equipment buildings are shown to remain within a landscaped green space. Vehicular and Pedestrian Access • There are several public streets that bisect the site and that are used for access to different portions of the site. Chestnut Avenue, which borders the site on the west, provides access to the subject site as well as properties on the west side of Chestnut Avenue. Butternut Lane provides access to the subject site as well as the contractor's yard on the west side near 1-264. Spruce Street provides access solely to the subject site. Pine Street provides access to the subject site, as well as the auto paint shop at the northwest corner and the Virginia Beach Schools Credit Union on the east side. Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 KENNETH A. HALL FAMILY, LTD PARTNERSHIP / # 17 & 18 Page 11 Use Permits will govern the auto sales/service operations and the other Conditional Use Permit governs the existing communication tower • As noted above in the Zoning History portion of this report, the existing auto sales and service business has been operating on this site since 1986. During subsequent years, numerous buildings, sales display areas and vehicle storage areas have been added at different times. The applicant is now in a position to combine the majority of the property, 14.6 acres, under one master plan that will govern the development of the property for the next three to five years The only portion of the business that is not part of this master plan is the auto body shop (collision center) currently under construction adjacent to 1-264. The applicant has not requested any changes to that Conditional Use Permit which was recently granted by City Council on June 5, 2001. • In the area of the collision center, now under construction, the southern portion of the Spruce Street right-of-way as well as a portion of Second Street was approved for closure by the City Council on June 5, 2001. The applicant has met all the conditions and has purchased this right-of-way. • In the area of the future aftermarket building, the southern portion of Pine Street right-of-way as well as another portion of Second Street was approved for closure by City Council on January 28, 2002. The applicant has not yet submitted a plat for this closure. The applicant has until January 28, 2004 to comply with the conditions and purchase this right-of-way. • It should be noted that a condition of the street closures approved by City Council on June 5, 2001 and January 28, 2003 was to record an agreement for repurchase of the property encompassed by the rights -of -way if needed by the City in the future for improvements to the Rosemont Road/1-264 interchange. The master plan conforms to this agreement, as it does not show any new buildings located within these areas. Site Design • The master plan submitted shows four new structures proposed. There are existing structures located in the same area as the three new structures facing Bonney Road. These existing structures will be demolished. • The master plan shows the auto body shop (collision center) and vehicle storage and parking areas that are currently under construction in the rear of the site for reference purposes only Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 KENNETH A.

Plaza Trail District 2 Kempsville August 13, 2003 REGULAR Robert Miller: The next items are Items #6, 7, 8 & 9, CH&B Associates, LLP. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Nutter, we don't have any opposition at this point or if anyone comes forward with opposition. We still want you to be mindful of the 10 minutes. We've got a huge agenda. R.J. Nutter: I understand. Ronald Ripley: Get as far as you can and let us know what you need. Okay? R.J. Nutter: I sure will. Quite frankly, I want to begin by thanking, first for the record, my name is R.J. Nutter. I'm an attorney. I represent the applicant CH&B Associates. First, really let me thank Carolyn Smith, Bob and Stephen. We have worked on this application for close to a year. It is a very complicated application. So, we can go into an enormous detail on this application if we wanted to and I'm happy too. But, I will try to keep it on an overall scale and like Carolyn did in her write up, even though it is 50 something pages long. She begins by an overview of what's really occurring in this application. What makes this so complicated, frankly, is the fact that much of the zoning, in fact, all of the zoning that we're seeking today is already on the property. Every single land use that we're proposing for this property in this change is already approved for this property. The locations are changing. And, we've gone to great lengths where they're located and why And, the other complicated factor of this is that this was all zoned originally back in the 70's as PD-H 1. We no longer accept applications for PD-H 1. These changes, frankly, gave us then the opportunity to really transfer what was previously PD-H1 property into an overall zoning plan for the property by using your existing zoning categories. And, that's why you have a lot of criteria that is built into this process. In fact, one of the things that I liked about this application is that it is really taking a 1970's plan with the same densities and I'll address that in a second, the same densities that were approved largely as late as 1998 and really modifying the plan to a major improvement and nailing down the degrees of development that occurred here. Let me begin by telling you as I have, overall what's occurring. But let me give you a small bit of history only because many of you asked two questions this morning. Many of you are newer to the Planning Commission and weren't part of the process back in the 1980's and 1998 when these recent changes were made. And, that has to do with why are we increasing the commercial number one and number two, why are we increasing the office? And, I will get to the rest eventually. First let me tell you why the answer to both of those questions that rose this morning. The commercial area that you see that is proposed here today and I'll try not to get away from my time today is this area entirely in here. That is about 27.6 acres of commercial. Our current plan just about at the same location has 16 acres of commercial. This roadway is the same boundary that we see in the new plan. This area was always planned, always proposed to be commercial. In 1998, when we amended the plan at that time, we agreed frankly with Mr. Scott that we would not and the City, that we would not rezone these pieces. We would come back and rezone these pieces later when we were ready to develop the commercial property. And, that way the City would have additional control over the type of development that occurred on that property because we would have to have a rezoning. And, we agreed to the most unusual proffer that applies to any commercial parcel in the City and that is where we would actually come back and what is normally an administrative process for a site plan approval and we would inject a public hearing before the City Council on the site plan approval because we didn't have a user. Well, nothing has changed since that time. We have no user today. However, in reviewing the plan for submission on this one, Mr. Scott felt like that its really made no sense to keep these pieces zoned residential. If you're coming in to do this plan, don't give me a plan that shows encumbered commercial next to 7.3-acres between the road and 7.3-acres of residential. It made no sense. So, in essence we were cleaning up that portion of the plan from 1998. But, I would tell you that area has always been designated or foreseen by the City as commercial area and it has in the new proffer that runs with this whole area, now gives the exact same condition. Namely that, we would come back to City Council and the public hearing process for site plan approval when none is exactly required in the City. And, we have no user today so this area, we have no intention of developing in this area at this time. The next question, and I got a lot of information from this morning's discussion. Well, we've had office development previously on this site. We're increasing that office development and why are we doing that? And quite frankly, over the course of the last three or four years, we've been working closer with the City on several occasions now. Two in particular, where the City's Economic Development Department has come forward and asked if they could market this site for companies wishing to come into the area because it was close the Pembroke area and it was large enough and they thought accessible enough, and I agree, and really beautiful enough to be attractive to someone who might be willing to put in an office park setting. Frankly, the City did not have many properties that could move forward in that light. All that came about out of a result of a series of meetings with senior staff of the City and we were asked to look at adding additional office space to the site. And, that's why you see more office space on the site than what existed previously. The other component of that is we already had portions of the site zoned office. This, as you know, is already zoned office for the Bon Secours facility. There was additional office. There we go. That is the old plan. There was additional office next to that piece and then we had a six -acre office piece on the other side of the road. So, we decided to move all the office and commercial on to this side of South Plaza Trail and at the same time come up with conditions that would benefit the residential area, the area right around that is zoned residential. These have been in place since 1991, that we would have a 25-foot perimeter barrier along that entire area. The other thing that we agreed to do is we would limit the height of structures so that no structure within 100 feet of these property lines could be in excess of 35 feet. And, then we put in the building materials based upon the building materials that were proffered with the Bon Secours application that was all approved in 1998. So, that's how we handled that side of the road. So, what you have now is a site. We put everything on the same side of the road, continued the proffers approved by Council in 1998 in the commercial piece and we put the same and improved the proffers on the office piece and are offering it. We have no market. Because you know how the office market right now. There is a lot of extra office space on the market so some may say that zoning is putting an end to office is contrary to be grained on account of the market place. We understand that and we intend to bank this property and look for users that we think make the best sense in the future. I'll tell you they provide an opportunity for the City to market this thing. The other side and what we did is as a result of moving things from that side of the road, there was also residential. There were two different types of residential products on that side of the road. We had condominiums and we had retirement housing. And, we moved all the residential on to this side because quite frankly, we have residential on three sides of the property on this side. And, so the result is that we started looking for developers because we did not want to come forth on the application on residential until we could nail down for you the quality and the appearance of those structures. And, that is what led to months of meetings with architects, staff and the preparation of this booklet, which is fully proffered. And, let me just go over some of the highlights of this and then I'll break it down into individual components if you like. Because in going through some of the questions this morning, let me tell you how many units that are approved on the site today by right versus how many were doing today and tell you about open space and will try to build up one of the properties. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Nutter, you're running out of time. R.J. Nutter: I see that. Ronald Ripley: How much time do you think you will need? R.J. Nutter: I will say no more than five minutes. Ronald Ripley: Because I'm sure there will be a lot of questions. R.J. Nutter: I'm certainly more than happy to answer them. Ronald Ripley: I'm sure you have an opportunity to talk a lot. R.J. Nutter: And, I'm happy just to stop when you want me to. But, let me tell some significant numbers for you. There are currently approved 720 units by right on the property today. We're actually putting in 722. The only reason for the two increase is because of the layout of the number of units in the apartment buildings is the way they came out. But it's hand in hand of the same exact number of units, in essence, that was approved, and have been on the property for some time. We were required to put in different types of units. We were required to put in open space and nail down the quality. And those things are important. What we did was orient the different types of units. We looked at quite frankly, and where staff was heading with the new Comprehensive Plan. We looked with what we were trying to accomplish on the property and we looked at market types. And, what we found is that with these number of units we come up with a high quality of product that would range from about $180,000-250,000 dollars in purchase price, which is one thing that staff was asking us to try to do. We want to raise the bar. And our standard here was to be out or above the standards set by the Commission and Council and mass volume, which were being developed by the same residential development. So, that was the bar we set. Now what's really nice in the write up is not quite as detailed on this, it is the percentage of open space. As she correctly points out we're required to have 15 percent open space and what I would like to show you a little bit is how much open space we actually have. I would tell you that if you eliminate the lakes, which are not required to be counted at all, you would come down and we would be at over 24 percent open space on this site. Almost 10 percent more than required. If you add in the lakes because they're beautiful, these are two five -acre lakes and there are two two -acre lakes on the property. That acreage, which is just as beautiful quite frankly in an area to live along and be near and have the pleasure of living near it is equally important. If you would to add those figures you would be 39 percent open space on this piece of property, on just the south side. Ironically, they forgot to count the perimeter buffing around the apartment complex which is in some cases is up to 100 feet wide. So, that doesn't include that portion but that will give you some idea of what they try to accomplish here and that is keeping the density the same, coming up with a high quality product in a clustered, organized fashion with limited to no access. These have no access on the adjacent right-of-ways. These are all through internal roadways and private roads. The other and what, if you don't mind Mr. Ripley, given the time, every single detail of the units, the construction, what they will be like is stated in this booklet, which is fully proffered. Two things and I'll close. First, I'd like to tell you that another important component of this was that we obtained a unified landscaping, signage treatment along South Plaza Trail. And, we started by looking at the complexes constructed just two years ago here right at the corner of Princess Anne and South Plaza. We do not own that parcel and have never owned that parcel. We agreed to continue that landscaping feature all the way down around the corner on S. Independence. Even though there will be multiple buyers, multiple owners and two different developers. We have S&L Nusbaum and the Fleder and Caplan Family are actually doing the rest of the multi -family and L.M. Sandler Company doing the residential. So, even though every single detail, the signage, landscape are shown in multiple directions for you, above view, straight view and some in cases a back view, is set out in this very comprehensive and very nicely nailed down manual, which is fully proffered. So, I think that will address the quality issues for you. The interesting part is about South Plaza and finally I'll tell you that we will be doing the improvements to South Plaza Trail and the intersections of South Plaza and South Independence and South Plaza and Princess Anne Road. Those improvements together with the improvements to the sewer and water and the pump station we're constructing, our participation in those which is 100 percent of the cost by the way, at just about five million dollars. And, those improvements would otherwise not be built if we did nothing. One of the nice parts about this is that we did a full traffic report, those improvements are helping to eliminate a traffic level of service problem that is going to be occurring in about 3-5 years if traffic background information is correct in the study at Princess Anne and South Plaza. We were told in that study that if we did nothing on the property, just went home and never applied and the plan stayed the way as it is, they would be approaching a failing level of service at that intersection in the next few years. By the clients putting in the improvements to those intersection would eliminate that so at no time would you go above a level of service "D'' at those intersections. That's fully proffered in this application. As we develop different portions of the site we're required to put in additional right-of-way improvements to make sure that we never go below this. We have gone through a great detail with Public Works. So, I try to give you an overview. I apologize for the length Mr. Ripley and I appreciate your willingness to let me go beyond my 10-minute limit. And, I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have on this. Ronald Ripley: Any questions? R.J. Nutter: Yes, Ms. Katsias. Kathy Katsias: I see that there are only two entrances going in and out of the site and it is separated by the open space. R.J. Nutter: Yes ma'am. Kathy Katsias: Was that okay with traffic? R.J. Nutter: Yes ma'am. In asked in fact. They didn't want anymore. In fact, they wanted to make sure that none our neighborhoods had any direct access out so they were fine with that. In fact, we also meet with the Timberlake Homeowners Associations and there was a letter in the package from them for support. We had spoken with the secretary of the Board of the new development, which you received one letter from and I think if she were here, she could see that the commercial has always been planned. Quite frankly, that was one of her biggest comments and it has always been planned at that location And, the other is Brenneman Trail, which is the access into her subdivision as well as to ours, was actually built by our clients. And, many of you may not remember this but this is an amazing story. Eddie Bourdon was involved in an application for the owner of that property to rezone it to its current zoning status by the way. He was successful in that rezoning And, was shooting through here and was on the consent agenda. It was a great application. And, we had to call Eddie and ask him to defer it because we wanted him to move his access this way. And, the applicant in this case had worked so long and hard with the City of Virginia Beach on where his access way would be that he lined up the lights in the future so he wouldn't have future traffic problems. And, the access way, being proposed by Eddie's client at that time, was to not coincide with the location of that light. And, that would mean that people coming in and out would have to go down and do u-turns at the light so our clients went to Eddie's clients, who were a little upset about it at the time and our clients agreed to give them property on their property so that they could relocate their access way to Brenneman Trail. They agreed to take the funds that they were going to build for their access and apply it to it and we would pay the difference. So, it worked out to where now there was a combined entrance for both intersections that would reduce the number of curb cuts on South Plaza. Both would come out at a lighted intersection. We would not have to bond in the future to put a new light in. So, it worked out in a much better plan and so that's just one example of planning that's gone into the property over the course of the last three or four years. Otherwise, you knew nothing about it until I told you about that. And, I'm sorry that the writer of that letter was not present and told him that and will contact her as soon as we can to let her know those facts. Ronald Ripley: Open space? Now you got passive open space it looks like and I assume, will it be active at times to or do have active areas or is it all passive? R.J. Nutter: We have some active areas as well we'll have some of the trail systems through the larger 11-acre piece. We're looking at the possibility of adding some tennis courts in this area, in fact the interesting part about that is that we agreed that any facilities like that, which were all out in P-1 district, we would locate back 100 feet from South Plaza Trail and we would put tennis courts to be put in right here closest to this new road that has as yet no name. The tennis courts would be set back 25 feet from the internal roadways. Ronald Ripley: How much acreage do you have of that type of open space, both passive and active? R.J. Nutter: Passive and active we have 19.75-acreage. Ronald Ripley: How about in the lakes? How much acreage is in the lakes? R.J. Nutter: In the lakes we have almost 14 acres, 13.75 acres in the lakes. Ronald Ripley: My question really has to deal with the lakes. Have the engineers sized the lakes so they know that the lakes are going to be that size or are those lakes going to eat in to that passive open space? R.J. Nutter: I'll be happy to answer that. These three lakes you see today are existing and fully designed and in place. Ronald Ripley: Okay. R.J. Nutter: No one will be touching them. The only remaining lake and the nice part about it is and Carolyn pointed it out during your review this morning those lakes are tied by a master storm water system in the lakes on the other side of the road. So, all these systems work in unison with one another. The other lake that is not shown on this plan is a two -acre lake in this area, which is in excess. We still have, independent of that lake, we have 5.3-acres of open space in the apartment complex. The lake is two -acres. That is not yet fully designed. Ronald Ripley: But your lakes were designed for the other land use plan so now you have a new land use plan. My question is are these lakes sized now correctly or are we going to be looking at a situation where we come back and all the open space, which is meaningful open space, is gone? R.J. Nutter: No. They are fully sized. Mr. Sauro is that correct? Ronald Ripley: They're completely engineered and you got all the drainage calculations and you're satisfied? Ronald Ripley: Is that a yes? Tom Sauro: Yes. Ronald Ripley: So the engineer says yes. I want it on the record. Okay? R.J. Nutter: That's okay. And, we've done the same thing with every component of the project from the roads to the lakes to open space. Ronald Ripley: Okay. R.J. Nutter: And, I understand the question and that's why I wanted to make sure and I didn't understand it at first but now I do. Ronald Ripley: We see a lot of plats that show a lake and that is not what it ends up being. R.J. Nutter: I see. The one lake that I would tell you is not necessary but were putting it in anyway is the one inside the apartment complex. That's purely an amenity. Ronald Ripley: I understand. R.J. Nutter: It's still sufficient in capacity for the existing lakes to handle for this rezoning. Ronald Ripley: Looking over your materials on the residential, post materials, railing materials are they all vinyl clad9 R J. Nutter: Yes sir We went through extraordinary steps with staff on those issues. These are vinyl clad around the columns in the residential areas. They're all vinyl clad in the apartment complex. In fact, let me tell you one detail and you'll appreciate this Mr. Ripley. We went a great length with Carolyn on and that has to do with the multi -family. The pages are not readily numbered but if you look at section three of your book, which goes into the apartment complex and you look at that first elevation. People who developed these apartments, S.L. Nusbaum recently built the apartment complex known as South Beach down on 19th Street, which has won all sorts of awards from the City. This is very similar to that. What we did is we took staff down to that building, walked through the units, the open areas, clubhouse, between the buildings to see what changes we would want to make for that. You have to improve on something every time. So, what we found is they liked the style but in that case they wanted all architectural single roof on this facility where that facility did not have that. It was an extraordinary difference in price. And they agreed to do that. Then all the eaves are wrapped and here's where the details are very unusual. They have these decks areas are wooden. The railings are wrapped either aluminum or vinyl clad and because they might be visible underneath they agreed to put a wide board along here to help hide that, even though none of the buildings and if you look at the plan you'll find none of those buildings are even going to be visible from that adjacent right-of-way. But, we worked at great length and we even looked at a possibility of making those vinyl clad. The problem we ran into was the drainage quite frankly. And whether or not that material would rot over time if you did that because there would be seepage of water through. Ronald Ripley: You'll just let it run out the back? R.J. Nutter: Yes sir. Sir, what we did is we came up with that feature across all those so that in fact we can address that issue. Ronald Ripley: Adding the shingles doesn't add that much. It's not really that much but it is really well help the appearance for sure. It's not that expensive. R.J. Nutter: It's about $50 thousand dollars more for the buildings. Ronald Ripley: A question about the office area. Back to the railings, does that apply also to the townhouses? R.J. Nutter: Yes sir it does. Ronald Ripley: Through out? Okay. What I would like to avoid is seeing any kind of exposed salt treated wood, railings that intend to deteriorate, warped, etc. R.J. Nutter: We thought the same thing. Another nice part about this is because this will be condominium ownership there will be a common maintenance plan for all of these, which we felt was very important. That would also apply to streets. All these will be privately owned. We have the exact same view. Ronald Ripley: Okay On the office area, they're saying that you don't believe there's a market for it right now? We're looking at 40 acres and they could be 300,000-600,000 square feet of office space. On that much land, what's the thinking? R.J. Nutter: What's the thinking? Sure. Ronald Ripley: That's a lot of space. R.J. Nutter: That is a lot of space. We actually had designed and this would accommodate under your current ordinances 350,000 square feet of office space. Ronald Ripley: Okay. R.J. Nutter: But this was designed for non -structured. More of a campus style office design. So the thinking here was frankly and the City has been contacted in the last few years by two companies, one local and one from out of the area. Both of which wanted 350,000 square feet of office space. While there is an office market it is generally more site specific and a lot will depend on what whether or not Bon Secours proceeds with its development of the property next door. Sir, our thinking on this is that we would try to bank this land. As you know, they have owned this property since the 1960s. It's been zoned since the 1970s, and for all practical purposes, undeveloped. So, they're not ones who are known to rushing to judgment or rushing to get into the ground. Quite the contrary, in this case they view that as a long term benefit to the area. And, I know they worked with the City for the last three years and will continue to work with them on additional properties as they come forward. We're also waiting to see what Bon Secours does on the piece next door. Ronald Ripley: It just seems like a lot of office land to me. And, the last question has to deal with and I realize this is not a land use issue but it kind of solidifies the quality that seems to be proposed here and it does appear to be a quality project. Would you go over with us what the projected prices are going to be on various types of product that's going to be built in this community starting with the two-story town houses? R.J. Nutter: I'll be happy to. Can I ask Catherine Holder to come up for a second? Ronald Ripley: By all means. R.J. Nutter: Catherine wasn't here when I arrived so I'm glad to know that she's back. Catherine is with L.M. Sandler Companies and Catherine is the one who worked most heavily with Carolyn and Carolyn's staff on the architecture and pricing. Catherine Holder: Catherine Holder with L.M. Sandler & Sons. We're looking at prices starting with the two-story $165,000-175,000 with the three story town $175,000- 185,000. And then with the carriage home it's $185,000 probably to $200,000. Ronald Ripley: $200,000. Catherine Holder: Yes sir. Ronald Ripley: Okay. R.J. Nutter: That's the base without the options Ronald Ripley: Okay. How about rents? What are the rent structures approximately? R.J. Nutter: That will run anywhere from $800-$1100 a month. Ronald Ripley: Okay R.J. Nutter: All the multi family, each building has two elevators, so none of these are walk up units. We felt that was very important. This is an older market than the beachfront where you didn't have to put in elevators. These, however, in Kempsville, we anticipate a more mature market and this will facilitate that market. Ronald Ripley: Any other questions? Robert Miller: The only other speaker is Tom Sauro, who signed up. Ronald Ripley: That's it Mr. Nutter. Thank you very much R.J. Nutter: Thank you very much. Ronald Ripley: Good presentation. Okay. We'll open it up for discussion. Eugene Crabtree: He answered all my questions. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Crabtree, okay. Anybody else? Yes, Jan. Janice Anderson: I'm going to be supporting this plan. I think it's a rather large project. What I'm happy to see is that it has been thought out and thought has been taken and like you stated, not from staff that this has been worked on for over a year. And, I think we've come up with the best solution for this. And, there are so many particular things on the project but the main thing was moving the commercial across the street. I think that's a good idea taking it away from the residential. So, I think it's going to turn out to be a lot more open space. Ronald Ripley: Does anybody else wish to comment? Mr. Miller? Robert Miller: I'd like to make a motion to approve Items #6, 7, 8, & 9. Kathy Katsias: I'll second it. Ronald Ripley: We got a motion to approve by Bob Miller and a second by Kathy Katsias.

Sandler & Sons Corporation. The purpose ofthis meeting was to hear thcir presentation ofthe plans for development ofBrenneman Farm, adjacent to Timberlake Community Association. We all liked what we heard. The proposed development should be a first class addition to our area which would be a welcome neighbor to our community. Mr. James Caplan has always paid immediate attention to any concerns that we have had over the years and his involvement in this venture gives us the confidence that our interests will be protected during and after this project is completed. Our only request to you is that you support our desire to leave Lumberjack Drive closed between our homes and the new homes to be developed on Brenneman Farm. We also wish the developer to save as many of the existing trees as possible. Timberlake Community Association made this same request several years ago when the previous plans were presented. Please accept this letter as our official notice of support for this proposed development. Should you have any questions or require additional information from us please contact me at 467-9011 Very truly yours, Philip 4J.MasyAMMS, PCAM cc: Catherine Holder C •J C4-A'G Teresa Nantz 4592 Carriage Drive Virginia Beach, VA 23462 Current Planning Division Municipal Center Building 2, Room 115 2405 Courthouse Drive Virginia Beach, VA 23456-9040 To The Members of the Planning Commission; rECIP11m)�1T) AUG 0 8 2003 flu DEPARRAEN1 of PLANNING I am writing in regards to a letter received informing us of an application for zoning changes on 4 lots located on South Plaza Trial and Princess Anne Road; and South Plaza and Independence Blvd Based on information obtained from neighbors, I understand plans include, a shopping center (strip mall) at South Plaza and Princess Anne (beside Catholic High School), an apartment complex and Condos development at South Plaza and Independence; and a Condo / Carnage House development at South Plaza and Brennanman Road. My concerns are, one that a shopping center on Princess Anne and South Plaza would disrupt traffic much like the area around the shopping center at Princess Anne and South Lynnhaven Road, in which there is only one exit out (on to S Lynnhaven) Anyone, who has ever tried to get out of either shopping center, especially at 5 p m , would understand why I avoid shopping there at all costs Since the entrance into/out of the proposed shopping center would then have to be on south Plaza, this would then add to the congestion at the intersection of South Plaza Trail and Princess Anne Road. The addition of a shopping center also concerns me in regards to the ability to maintain tenants, as there are already so many strip malls areas with space available. The thought of vacant office and shopping spaces so close to a school and residences with the potential for crime and vagrants is certainly not very appealing. In regards to the plans for apartments, Condos and Carnage houses, it must be noted that South Plaza is only two lanes and the only entrance and exit to an existing condo development is at Brennanman Road, in which there is only a stop sign If each of these developments have 80 units with two adults each and two cars each that would be an addition 640 cars trying to enter and exit these already busy intersections Please bear in mind that the apartment complex would certainly have more then 80 units. It is my personal belief and concern that the traffic problems in the Kempsville/ Princess Anne and Independence/ Lynnhaven regions are already enormous without adding more traffic. Plus with the addition of all these new developments plans must provide for addition school space. T would hate to see all the open areas in Virginia Beach developed leaving no parks, farms, etc to enjoy I certainly hope that the commission would keep all this in mind when deciding about zoning changes to the Kempsville district, and not just focus in on the potential increase in tax revenue these developments would bring I think Virginia Beach needs to start looking at cleaning up and renewing older developments and stop all the over development of open space In conclusion, I would like to state that I am opposed to the proposed zoning changes to the Kempsville District, as I understand them to be at this time Thank you for allowing my input and to the commission, in what I hope is their thorough and thoughtful consideration in this matter I am sure that the Commission will make the decision which will serve the Kempsville District best, now and in the future Respectfully submitted by, Teresa A Nantz To:, Carol3m A.

DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE This request is to change the zoning on a strip of property so that it matches the zoning on the remainder of the property. ■ Considerations: The original Salem Lakes Land Use Plan included a series of berms around the area's boundaries to buffer Salem Lakes from adjacent properties. The subject strip of land was planned for and has been used as one of these berms The R-5D zoned portion of the property adjacent to the berm was originally a flag lot that fronted on Salem Road. The property was resubdivided in 1999 to eliminate the "flagpole" of the lot and include the PD-H1 zoned strip so that it fronts on Mill Creek Drive If the request is approved, the applicant intends to resubdivide the property into a total of four lots. The existing house is intended to be preserved, and three 5,000 to 7,000 square foot lots would be created on the southern side of the property, fronting Mill Creek Drive The smaller lots could only be used for single-family dwellings The larger residual property meets the requirements for a duplex dwelling, but the applicant has stated his intent is to preserve the existing single- family home Although the strip of land was originally intended to separate the Salem Lakes Planned Development from adjacent properties, the physical location of the existing house and the resubdivision of its property make it a 'de facto' part of the area However, the residential use is compatible with the other residential uses in this area, which consist of single-family and townhouse style dwellings. In this location, the berm is not necessary to separate the existing single-family dwelling from other single-family dwellings across the street The proposed rezoning will Chester Ehrenzellar Page 2 of 2 allow land uses that are in keeping with the other residential uses along Mill Creek Drive The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the existing strip of zoning serves no purpose and its removal would increase the usefulness of the property Staff recommended approval There was no opposition to the request ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval Planning Commission recommends approval Submitting Department/Agency: Planning Department.

Independence Boulevard. Landscaping is shown beyond minimum requirements, enhancing the site design for a typically pavement -dominated land use. PROFFER # 2 When the Property is developed, the architectural design, building materials, and colors of the Car Wash building will be substantially as depicted on the exhibit entitled "SECTION/ELEVATION SELF SERVE & AUTOMATED CAR WASH SOUTH INDEPENDENCE & SILVERLEAF DRIVE," prepared by Porterfield Design Center dated May 201 2003, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning ("Rendering").

With increased awareness of CPTED principles and lighting principles advocated by organizations such as "Dark Skies, " the City has become increasingly attentive to appropriate lighting levels and designs Lighting should be monitored to ensure adequate lighting for safety but avoid overspill and glare onto adjacent properties Since the applicant was unable to provide a lighting plan during this initial review process, this proffer ensures that a lighting plan will be submitted and subject to approval by the Planning Department PROFFER # 5 Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed Site Plan review and administration of applicable City Codes by all cognizant City agencies and departments to meet all applicable City Code requirements Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 KEMPSHIRE ENTERPRISES, L.L.C. / # 38 Page 9 Staff Evaluation: This proffer reinforces the concept that a rezoning approval does not supersede compliance with ordinance and code requirements Changes to the plan may be required during the detailed plan review process City Attorney's The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the proffer Office: agreement dated May 24, 2003, and found it to be legally sufficient and in acceptable legal form. Evaluation of Request The applicant's request to modify the Timberlake Land Use Plan is acceptable. As a land use, the proposed car wash is appropriate for this location. The northern half of the site is currently designated in the Land Use Plan as an automobile service station. The car wash fits this designation and is compatible with the adjacent Park and Ride site and other nearby commercial uses No residential uses are located immediately adjacent to the site The site plan is well designed with extra landscaping, helping to break up the large expanses of pavement, which are typical with automobile related sites Vehicular movements are controlled to create smooth traffic flow from the three access points No vehicular access is permitted directly onto S. Independence Boulevard, which is in keeping with the Master Transportation Plan's "controlled access" designation for this roadway The building design is also appropriate for this location The glass and metal materials create a unique -looking building that is compatible with other buildings in the vicinity Therefore, Staff recommends approval of this application. NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes.

Independence Boulevard District 1 Centerville August 13, 2003 CONSENT Ronald Ripley: Okay. The next order of business is our Consent agenda and Dot Wood will conduct this portion of the agenda. Dot. Dorothy Wood: Thank you Ron. This afternoon we have 16 items on our consent agenda. As I call the item, will you please step to the podium, either the applicant or the applicant's representative, and state your name, you have read the conditions, and if you agree with them. Again, as Ms. Anderson has said, if there is any objection to any item please come forward also. We will drop that to its regular place in the agenda. We want everyone to have an opportunity if they have an objection to state that objection. The first item is Item #1, which is Berkshire -Hudson Capital. Robert Miller: We have opposition to that item. Dorothy Wood: I'm sorry. We do have opposition to number one. We'll have to drop that down. REGULAR Ronald Ripley: Now we're going into the regular agenda and we have, as I see it there are about nine items to be heard today. So Mr. Miller, would you call the first item. Robert Miller: The first item is Item #1, Berkshire -Hudson Capital XI, LLC. R.J. Nutter: Thank you very much Mr. Chairman. Mr. Miller, thank you for introducing us. There will probably be a few people leaving this room happy today. I think because of the length of your agenda today I'm going to be very, very brief and just listen to the opposition and then respond. But I did want to point out that this case was on your consent agenda. We're very happy with it. The staff has given a very warm recommendation of approval. And as you can see it's an extremely heavily landscaped site, and we're very proud of what we've been able to accomplish here. One thing that I would like to briefly correct, when Stephen was running through the initial evaluation of the application, we had an additional 25,000 square foot of retail. Actually, we originally started out with about 25,000 square foot of additional retail. We now have just over 10,000 square feet. We cut that by more than half so, I just wanted to let you know that in the 37 plus cases and Comprehensive Plan and everything else, I could understand that how a detail like that might slip by. I did just want to point that out to you and will be happy to respond after the person in opposition spoke. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Miller. Robert Miller: Mr. Charles Brockley. Charles Brockley: Thank you for taking time to listen to my opinion this afternoon. My name is Charles Brockley, and I reside at 1809 Salem Road. I live directly across the street from the proposed Eckerd's and will be the person most affected by the store. I'm opposed to its location for a variety of reasons. First, the trash from the parking lot will end up in my front yard. Second, this is a residential corner not a commercial corner. There are residents on three of the four corners. Unlike the intersection that Rite -Aid less than a mile up the road that has a church, a golf course and a swim club on its other corners. The third is there is no need for a drug store on this corner. Besides the Rite - Aid, there is a Walgreen's, a Kroger, a Wal-mart, a Target and a Farm Fresh all containing pharmacies less than a mile from this corner. There are better uses for this property. It was originally sold to a funeral home operator for a funeral home to be put there. A limited use facility, such as that would add value to the neighborhood not detract, which is what an Eckerd on that corner would do. Let me state that I'm not opposed to Eckerd itself, just not one being built less than a 100 yards from my front door. Thank you again for considering my opinion and how it would affect me in your decision making process. Ronald Ripley: Thank you very much. Does anybody have any questions for Mr. Brockley? Mr. Brockley? Would you please point out where your house is located? Could we get a site plan up to see that please? Charles Brockley: Right here. Ronald Ripley: Thank you. Mr. Miller, any other speakers? Robert Miller: There are no other speakers. Ronald Ripley: We have a lady that raised her hand. June Houston: Good afternoon everyone. My name is June Houston. I live at 1814 Rainbow Court, which is directly behind the facility that they're building. My house is right here. There building directly behind my fence, which according to the plans here is going to be some type of alley here. We've had problems with crime during the summertime and sometime during the wintertime just in our neighborhood alone. To me, this is going to increase it and definitely put me, and my family in danger. This could go closer to the street and like the gentlemen before me said, "we don't need no commercial building" where we live. It can go someplace else. Ronald Ripley: Thank you very much. Any questions? Thank you very much. June Houston: Thank you. Donald Horsley: Would you show us on the map where you live? June Houston: My house is right there. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Miller, anybody else? Robert Miller: I don't believe so sir. Ronald Ripley: Thank you very much. Mr. Nutter, would you like to readdress please? R.J. Nutter: Yes sir. I'll be happy to do so. Thank you very much and always happy to have the opportunity to comment. We have taken great pain quite frankly to make sure that this does exactly what your staff wanted to have happen here and that is quite frankly, to be able to introduce a low volume user on a major intersection where residential has been stressed at that intersection, quite frankly. I not saying that there isn't residential there but with R5-D zoning it's going to run a stressful situation on the product that's there today, and this is would be a high density product and not to mention the fact that this puts additional pressure on the school system. So in result, we tried to locate the building in a matter that's far away from the interchange. In fact, its hard to look at this plan and get the scale of it, but to give you some idea of the distance between here and just the paving area is over about 120 feet to give you some idea of the amount of open space and green area and landscaped area that you're going to have at this location. So it's taking a site that is a difficult point. You've got residential behind it that was not developed down to the corner. We did this piece out to defend for it self. And, I think, quite frankly staff s recommendation is giving their correct assessment here, and that is a site that does in fact serve and protect and compliment the surrounding area and not intrusive into adjacent neighborhoods. One other thing that I would like to point out for the lady who lives behind here is, and she may not realize this, she lives here, this portion of the property is zoned 0-2. There are no height limits in the 0-2 district. This should have 75 feet. But she could easily have a 35-foot structure plus in that district. In fact, she could have a higher structure, as Mr. Miller knows, back about 100-foot back in the parking lot. It could greatly impact her quality of life. Instead, this is a one-story structure. It is separated by 25-foot bermed area and treed area to protect the residents along that part, which is if you know is almost double what your requirements are. The building itself is set back 45 feet from her property line. So, we've really endeavored to make sure that we don't intrude into those areas. So, I think I have to side with your staff on this one. I understand the concerns but I think the alternatives may be worse quite frankly than this application. But thank you very much. I appreciate the opportunity. Ronald Ripley: Do we have any questions of Mr. Nutter? Mr. Din. William Din: Is there a fence also with that buffer? R.J. Nutter: We, at this point, there's no fence shown at this point in time. It's category four landscaping is required. It does not have a fence. And, quite frankly, part of the concern we hear is comments from several people, and those people may want to walk to this facility from the back. We don't know if that is going to happen or not but we don't have a fence at this point. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Crabtree. Eugene Crabtree: Yes, Mr. Nutter, do you have any proposal as to what the businesses are going to be other than the drugstore in that strip mall? R.J. Nutter: Yes sir. We've rented those only to commercial or offices so it could be a combination quite frankly. We anticipate that. Frequently, we have a lot of requests for beauty salons or tanning facilities. All small neighborhood service facilities that often at times involve many facilities with also existing large locations. Quite frankly, a lot of people don't feel comfortable going to a large location for a simple service. And, that's why this would be an excellent introduction to this area. And, we have of course coordinated all the traffic issues as well so this would not produce a problem. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Miller has a question. R.J. Nutter: Oh, yes sir. Robert Miller: Two things. One is, and Mr. Brockley mentioned the trash. I'm sure you do have proposals for dumpsters on the site, and I'm confident that you will tell that the staff will be happy to maintain the property very well. I think that's something that would be helpful to know that there are and are there multiple dumpsters on the site? R.J. Nutter: There would be a series. There will be some for the commercial area as well as the commercial and office area in addition to the Eckerd's. And, these would be managed by some company which is also very nice that you have a current maintenance scheme and quite frankly, these locations have always prided themselves on how clean they are, and I think one evidence of that is the level of quality they built into the architecture. You probably know this that it is almost an all brick building. And, while Stephen did not have on his Power Point presentation this morning on what the commercial area looks like but this will show you. This is almost an all brick facility. Standing seam, metal roof. These are canopies here with a brief interruption here and then we did these two towers at both ends. You only need to accent the Eckerd's site and that's all brick. So it's a very, very attractive. These are all covered walkways. It's a very, very architectural pleasing site. As you can see, that those proffers were designed to match the Eckerd's. Robert Miller: Another point Mrs. Houston brought up was the crime issue. I'm sure the site is well lighted, and I know that you didn't go through your full presentation so we're kind of going backwards into the pieces of it. Would you also address the lighting being directed on the site? R.J. Nutter: I'll be happy to. All of the lighting on this site is directed inwardly and toward the site and away from the adjacent residential and also away from the interchange. And, one of the nice things about this for the adjacent neighborhood particularly, I guess just to the northeast of this of site is that we are leaving much of those treed areas all those completely intact, which was not necessary. We wanted to make sure that we did that. We've tried, in fact, to compensate for the trees that we do have to take down by extra large landscaped areas and extra amount of canopy cover that we are planting. Ronald Ripley: Can you go over the landscaping plan with us please? It appeared to the Commission this morning that it was a very generous landscaping buffer plan, and could you explain what's going on in those areas? R.J. Nutter: I'll be happy to do that. It's just about a five -acre site. This entire section of the property, which at one point, was owned actually by the City and was acquired back when this recorded for a storm water site, not necessary when it became part of this site. That is a heavily treed area, and those trees will be remaining to the extent, and we agreed with staff for extended period. In our thin areas, we would supplement additional planting on that area. Along the back portion, the northeastern portion of the portion of the property, we elected a 25-foot area. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Nutter, you might want to get closer to the mic. R.J. Nutter: I'm sorry. I apologize. I'll do this. With regard to the area adjacent to the residential, we've left in a 25 foot wide landscaped area and agreed, again, to supplement that area with additional trees. Along this portion of the residential, which I think is actually the northern portion of the site, this buffer actually goes from 50 feet to almost 75 feet from the buildings here. That, also agreed, is to be leaving the trees intact at that location. Then along Salem Road and S. Independence we've agreed to put perimeter berming. It's a four -foot high berm that will go along this entire portion of the property. In addition to supplementing the landscaping through these areas, we've also put in much more interior landscaping than was otherwise required. Even down to landscaping the island as people enter the site from S. Independence Boulevard and the reason, quite frankly is so that when cars enter the site from S. Independence, this is angled so that the car lights will not shine into that residential area. We've located the drive-thru facility on the site between the office and commercial area and the building. So, again, it's not to put any lights into the adjacent residential areas. They will be coming in here, come around and down here into the area. Again, all of the emphasis for making sure that there would be no bleed over of even car lights into the adjacent residential area. At a very significant corner, the intersection of S. Independence and Salem, we paid a lot of attention. In addition to the berming, we've talked about landscaping. We've moved the building back and left this large area for green space. And again, from this point to this point is a 120-feet of area, which at this point as the properties around here are developed right now a developed portion, this would be the largest buffer area at the intersection right now. So, we'll set a nice standard for development at subsequent intersection, as they come forward over time. And, we think a very lovely impact. We produced everything down to staff We agreed on a wonderful plan, an extraordinary amount of work on the site. Right now, we have two accesses to this site on Salem and S. Independence. Each of those accesses are "right -in", so, at this point we agree to reconstruct the median break on Salem, so we have a dedicated "left turn in" only. It is not a full median break. It's a dedicated left turn so it does not impact traffic going in either of the two directions. It's exactly the same type feature you see on the Target feature further up the road. And, only that one particular is 200 feet from the intersection. This one is actually 400 feet from the intersection. So, it has features that are tried and proven successful throughout the City, and we've gone, we think, overboard in landscaping to make sure that we don't impact the adjacent residential area. Ronald Ripley: Okay. Are there any other questions? I think Joe Strange has a question. Joseph Strange: Yeah. I'd like you to address any type of effort that you might have made to keep that big Oak tree that's right in the middle. R.J. Nutter: Yeah, I know. That was very painful I must say. Know one wants to impact a tree like that but sometimes its just impossible not too. We looked at moving this building all over the place. And, I will tell you that biggest problem is that tree is just right square in the middle of where almost anything you do in this region effects that tree. And, I think the staff write-up or someone pointed out that current zoning of the property wouldn't protect the tree either, but we did try at great length to try to protect the tree. As a result of not being able to protect that one, we worried where we could protect them in this area. We can put the BMP here and the building closer to the intersection and make Eckerd very happy. We didn't do that. Staff asked us to move it back, preserve this area and preserve this area. So, where we could preserve the large trees on the site we tried to do so. Ronald Ripley: Okay. Are there any other questions? I think Ms. Houston raised her hand. Did you have new information? Mr. Miller, I think you mentioned to me that you would sponsor her. Would you like to come back up? It needs to be new information. June Houston: The gentlemen stated that some residents would like to walk through the back way to go to Eckerd's that he prescribed. The only way to back here through the neighborhood is to walk between two homes. That's all private property and part of it is not fenced in, and right now a lot of kids and people do walk back there and walk along the fence to come out to the main street. But if they build this, I'm quite sure that the owners will cut that off, which mean that the people still have to come all the way down and around in order to get to these two buildings. Ronald Ripley: So? June Houston: So, I'm saying that it's not that there's going to be a short cut for anybody in our neighborhood to go to these places. They're going to have to either walk around or drive around to get there. It's not a convenient thing. Ronald Ripley: Would you rather have a fence there? June Houston: Well, those are not my properties. I don't know. I have a fence that needs to be replaced, but it doesn't protect me if there's an alley back here between two buildings. Between my fence and his fence there's going to be an alley whether it's lighted or not, this still establishes opportunity for crime if somebody wants to commit a crime. There's nobody to watch that area. Ronald Ripley: So, there's no way to get to the property unless you walk down Zodiac, come down the sidewalk on Salem? June Houston: You have to come down Rainbow, go down Zodiac and get onto Salem. But right now, the property is opened between two other homes right next to me. I'm in the duplex. And right next to me, this lady has her property partially fenced but you can go along her house to get to that area, but people right across her can do the same thing. Ronald Ripley: Okay. Yes Dot. Dorothy Wood: You know there could be an office building, and it would be taller, as Mr. Nutter mentioned. And, I think the property would have more difficulty with security if that were a three-story office building. That would block your sun. June Houston: That's true. Dorothy Wood: That could be done by right. June Houston: Any kind of building that is going to be put in this position back behind m house is going to be a problem for me. Dorothy Wood: You know, they could build an office building. This is what we thought was a better use of the property. Ronald Ripley: Well, the question that I thought I heard was people walking through other people's property to get to this property, and if that's going to be a concern then perhaps Mr. Nutter might address that. Maybe we ought to consider a fence running along that area and that way you wouldn't have that problem. June Houston: It's better than the way the security is done right now. Ronald Ripley- I think it might be. Thank you very much. June Houston: Thank you. Ronald Ripley: Mr. Nutter? R.J. Nutter: I can't see behind this. I apologize. Ronald Ripley: Would the applicant have a problem doing that, providing a fence along that perimeter to avoid people walking and trespassing? R.J. Nutter: If I was to check with that between now and Council. We'll be happy to look at that as for your recommendation. I would tell you, that the area that we've heard a lot of questions about, were people coming in. We heard that people didn"t want to drive to the site. They didn't want to get out of their cars and drive. The City owns, in fact this came up during the early session as well. The City owns this piece of property right here on the corner of Zodiac and Salem. And they purchased the property for a BMP, which is there today as a dry BMP at that location today. But, one or two comments that we have that people walk down Zodiac, and we did not, and I'm not trying to confess to anyone who's walked through anyone's backyard. That truly would be trespassing. So, no one is supposed to be back there for cutting through there anyway. But, the area they would come in, they would walk in to the site that way without have to reverse it with their car and that would go across public property. And, in fact, at one point, this was even considered a vehicular access way, but we did not want to have vehicular access to commercial area that close, frankly, to the residential area. So, we discarded that concept early on in the process. But, we'll certainly heavily look at that and see. We don't believe it's going to present a problem here. The law already prevents, quite frankly, people from going through there, and it hasn't come up. So, I'm not sure the fencing would be necessary along that portion of the property. There may be people who live along that line, quite frankly that would want to access that property in that fashion. So, if you will do this. If you want to make it a condition you look at between now and Council, and I simply don' t know if they are in a position to do that at this point given all the work that they've done to make this as attractive as they have. Ronald Ripley: You're not going to let a fence stand in the way of your rezoning? R.J. Nutter: No, not at all. Ronald Ripley: Okay. R.J. Nutter: That's what I'm politely trying to say, but before I agree to something. A fence does two things. It protects some and injures others. And, you never know who you're helping and who you're hurting in that process. So, some parts of the neighborhood love them and other parts of the neighborhood don't like them at all. Ronald Ripley: Thank you very much. R.J. Nutter: Yes sir Ronald Ripley: Any other comments? Are there any other questions? Let's open it up for discussion. Donald Horsley: I'd just like to get Mr. Scott's view on the fence deal. Robert Scott: Well, I'm listening to the speaker who from the neighborhood came up. I think she's right. There were many good things said about this application, but I don't think its going to be a walking destination for the people in that neighborhood unless they go out on Zodiac and come around Salem. They cannot and should not be cutting through private property to get there so, I don't think that's germane to the question that we have in front of us here. This is a corner site that's going to be accessed by some pedestrians but mostly automobiles. And, I don't think a lot of people are going to be cutting through that. I think you have a problem before you get to the fence. You shouldn't be on the property at least to the fence. You're on somebody else's land if you do that and kids are kids and they do those things. I don't think it's that big of an issue. Ronald Ripley: Are there any other comments? Joe. Joseph Strange: I think I'll be supporting the application. It's in my district, and I've been over there looking at it, and I've had a few calls about the oak tree and some other things, but when I look at the by -right use of this property, by right that oak tree can come down right now. By right, they can put an office building over there, instead they're putting in retail stores, so when I look at what the owners can do by right at this minute, I think it's a good use concerning the fact that there seems to be a tremendous amount of sensitivity involved here as to how this area has been developed as far as the landscaping and other things are concerned so, even though if I lived there I'll probably like to see it stay exactly like it is, but it's not going to stay that way. And, I think this is a good use for it. Ronald Ripley: Any other comments? Can I get a motion? Dorothy Wood: I'd like to move that we adopt Item #1 for the Eckerd's drug store and the shopping center. I think the applicant has worked very hard to make the Eckerd a brick building. It's more attractive than the average. Ronald Ripley: Is that a motion? Dorothy Wood: Yes. I was making the motion and saying that. Ronald Ripley: Okay. Motion is to approve. Do I have a second? Gene Crabtree seconded. Dorothy Wood: I'm supporting it because I think, like I said, it's a really good job on the applicant to make it all brick. It's better than most of them. Ronald Ripley: Okay. Are there any other comments? Robert Miller: Does this motion include consideration for the fence between now and City Council? Dorothy Wood: Yes sir. Ronald Ripley: So a motion made including that language about the fence. Okay. Are there any other comments? Let's call for the question.

The current ordinance regulations allow 0.60 square feet of sign area for each foot of occupancy footage. Under the current ordinance then, a business with less than 40 feet of frontage is limited to a very small amount of sign area. ■ Considerations: The City Zoning Ordinance was amended in 1995 establishing a new classification entitled the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District. The purpose of this district, as stated in the legislative intent section of the ordinance, is to "optimize development potential for a mixed -use, pedestrian -oriented, urban activity center with mid- to high-rise structures that contain numerous types of uses including business, retail, residential, cultural, educational and other public and private uses." The section of the ordinance that controls signs was prepared by representatives of the City and the Central Business District Association. Following an assessment of anticipated signage needs and based upon the best available information at the time, the provisions of the B-3A sign ordinance relating to the type of signs, their number and dimensional requirements were considered and adopted. As the Town Center evolves, however, we have learned how sign requirements may be adjusted to improve their effectiveness without compromising the attractiveness of urban environments. This amendment offers reasonable changes to the B-3A ordinance to achieve these objectives. The proposed amendment will allow businesses with less than 40 feet of frontage to have a 24 square foot sign. Such a provision for a minimum sign allowance is consistent with the other Business and Resort Tourist Districts. Staff recommended approval. There was no opposition to the request. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 with 1 abstention to approve the amendment.

Sign regulations. (d) Within the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District, signs shall be permitted as follows: (1) For each foot of occupancy frontage an establishment shall have no more than sixty one -hundredths (. 60 ) square feet of sign area. No single establishment shall have more than four ( 4 ) signs, nor more than two ( 2 ) signs per building facade, and no individual sign shall exceed sixty (60) square feet in surface area.

No such sign shall be allowed above the second story of any building. 28 CoMNM1vT 29 This amendment will allow businesses with less than forty feet of frontage to have a 24 square 30 foot sign.

An ordinance to amend Section 905 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to sign regulations in the Pembroke Central Business Core District. Is there any opposition to this item? Mr. Scott. Robert Scott: Again, this is an adjustment to an existing ordinance that was recently adopted, having had input from all the appropriate business interest and other interests in the community. However, it appears that we didn't get it quite right because it does overlook some possibilities that need to be addressed better, and this ordinance, I think, does that. It establishes that no matter how small your business may be in terms of frontage on the city street, you're entitled to at least one sign not exceeding 24 square feet. And this will provide a minimal size sign for any business that would be in the Central Business District area regardless of what you have on the street. We think it's a better way to do it and we recommend its approval. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Mr. Ripley, I would move to approve number 933. Ronald Ripley: So we have a motion by Dot Wood to approve. Do I have a second? Seconded by Barry Knight. Mr. Miller? Robert Miller: I need to abstain from Item #33. My firm is working on that project. Ronald Ripley: Are there any other abstentions? Okay.

The City's Agricultural Advisory Committee has requested that these regulations be modified to provide greater opportunities to the agribusiness community in Virginia Beach and to increase the interaction between the northern and southern parts of the city through the purchase of agricultural products from local rural businesses. Proposed Amendments: An Ordinance to amend Section 401 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to farm stands as accessory uses in the AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Zoning Districts. The amendments revise the requirements pertaining to farm stands as follows- 1. Allow farm stands to have 1,000 square feet of floor area devoted to retail sales and display and an additional 1,500 square feet of storage or work area; 2. Limit the height of farm stands to 10 feet from ground to eaves; 3 Replace the requirement that at least 50% by value of the produce sold be grown by the operator of the stand with the requirements that a "substantial portion" of the items sold be produced locally, and 4. Specify with greater particularity the items that may be sold and those that may not be sold Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH / # 32 Page 1 Evaluation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments The amendments will provide increased opportunities for the city's agribusiness community and enhance the `draw' of the rural area of the city to those in other portions of the city Planning Commission Agenda August 13, 2003 CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH / # 32 Page 2 Item #32 City of Virginia Beach An ordinance to amend Section 401 of the City Zoning Ordinance Pertaining to farm stands as accessory uses in the AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Zoning District August 13, 2003 CONSENT Dorothy Wood: The next item is Item #32, the City of Virginia Beach. An ordinance to amend Section 401 of the City's Zoning Ordinance pertaining to farm stands as accessory uses in the AG-1 and AG-2. Is there any opposition to this? Mr. Scott, would you please talk about that for us. Robert Scott: Yes ma'am. This is an ordinance that is brought to you by the Agricultural Advisory Committee, whose job it is to look at these things as to their affect on the agriculture industry in our City. And they have made a suggestion for some changes that would allow farm stands to have 1000 square feet of floor area for retail sales and an additional 1,500 square feet for storage and work area; to limit their height to ten feet; to replace the requirement that at least 50 percent of value of produce be grown by the operator with a requirement that a substantial portion be produced locally (which is a much better use of our limited enforcement resources); and to specify with greater particularity the items, which may be sold and those that may not be sold. This comes to you with the concurrence and support of the Agricultural Advisory Commission, and accordingly, we recommend its approval. Dorothy Wood: Thank you. I'd like to ask Mr. Horsley who is on the Agricultural Advisory Committee. Did you have any comments on that sir? Donald Horsley: Not really. The only thing that I might add is this request came from some of the producers in the county asking that they be allowed to do some expanding of their produce operations. And it came before the Agricultural Advisory Commission, and we looked at it, along with the City Attorney and Planning staff and thought that these changes were very worthy. They come with a unanimous recommendation from the Agricultural Advisory Commission Dorothy Wood: Mr. Ripley, I would move to approve number #32. Ronald Ripley: So we have a motion by Dot Wood to approve. Do I have a second? Seconded by Barry Knight Any discussion? Let's call for the question.
