Additional incentives for Volunteer recruitment, i.e. per diem expense for
meals, "free" Recreation Center card
Councilman Wood - Table #2
Education of public due to abuse of 911 system
Dispatch fire engine to every Priority One call
Better leadership working together
(Personnel at field level work well together, 90-98%)
No common ground relative merger (EMS might lose Volunteers)
Public Safety Director serve both departments
Add second Medical Director for Fire Department
Utilize Shock Trauma from the fire trucks
Change Policies (involve no funds)
Send Engine Companies to all Code One calls
Utilize Fire Department Shock Trauma skills
Allow Fire Fighter Paramedics to practice off the engines
(as opposed to zone cars)
Concurred with placing 28 new Paramedics on ambulances - - not zone cars
Councilman Reeve - Table #3
Manned ambulances (begin with eight (8) and keep track re locations
and number)
Advanced Life Support (ALS) providers in ambulances (Volunteers having
the expertise to provide quality care to the patient)
Change of command issue - risks in control, streamlined approach necessary
City-wide recruitment of volunteers
Public Education
Improved public education on utilization of the emergency system

EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONSE ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS
ITEM # 52318 (Continued)
Councilman Schmidt - Table #4
Good communication at Care-Provider level; however, sometime
breakdown in communication at the top (BaUalion or Brigade Chief level)
Cultural differences exist
Discussion relative ALS providers in zone cars or ambulances
ALS fire providers, serving dual purpose, by working off the fire engines
(respond to fire and heart aUack)
Respond to one call at a time, fire Paramedic, as part of the continuum
of care should be able to take the patient to the hospital (Paramedic
skills are perishable)
Computer-aided dispatch corrected to dispatch engines with ALS providers
that are closer to the scene
Defibrillators in Police cars
New hires in the Fire department with some level of advanced medical
training at Shock Trauma level (entails 16 week training)
Hiring 28 neW Emergency Medical Paramedics
The dispatcher issue was referenced relative salary. The dispatchers are very dedicated, if they are rotated
around the floor, their ability to manage the Emergency Medical or Fire call diminishes. Recruitment of
dispatchers should also be reviewed.
Charles Meyer expressed appreciation to the participants. In December, the City Council received the City
Manager's recommendation relative a plan to upgrade the Emergency Response System (ERS). In the
interim, an Emergency Response Team Executive Committee was established under the direction of Charles
Meyer. Since December, this Committee has been meeting relative the various tash:
Establish recommendations re ERS to the FY 2004-2005 Resource
Management Plan (Budget)
Data management (issue of one consistent system of data
measurement and language re response time)
Integrate cultural differences, which make the challenge of implementing
ERS daunting
Establish implementation plan i.e. incident command control- responsibility

Mr. Block displayed Illustrative Design Concepts of the Plan: Prototypical Redevelopment and Corridor
Redevelopment. Street lights, signal poles and pedestrian lighting will be the same design appearing on
Atlantic Avenue and the Boardwalk to continue the theme on 3(fh and 31" Streets. Mr. Block referenced the
crosswalk treatments in the intersections to assist in "breaking up" and providing different textures. Traffic
signals will be retained to facilitate pedestrian crossing. These will be located at both Arctic and Baltic, as
well as Pacific Avenues. The illustration depicts a building, which will vary in height, landscaping the
narrowing of three (3) traffic lanes to a minimal level of eleven (II) feet. Opportunities of an additional five
(5) feet on either side of the traffic lanes provide a very nice walking area.
31" Street

City project. These two (2) projects shall be bid together. By acquisition ojforty-four (44) feet on each side
of the road, the right-of-way shall be expanded to eighty-eight (88) feet.
The 31" Street Corridor illustrative design concept plans depicted more separation between the pedestrian
and the curb line. The extensive utilization of raised planters close the curb, particularly on 30'h Street, is
being viewed to provide a sense of space between the pedestrian and automobiles. From the curb to the back
of roadway is about eighteen (18)feet.
Gateway Treatments
Create feeling of "Arrival"
Beginning of enhanced upgrades
Enhanced aesthetics at Little Neck Creek to create
"Bridge" effect
Mr. Block displayed the illustrative design Concept Plans: 31" Street Gateway and Corridor Redevelopment
at Little Neck Creek Crossing. These designs reflect a Pavilion structure on the water and a boardwalk
affect along the edge of the street. The see-through wall and barrier creates a bridge effect. Gateway
Crossing signature entry pylons provide the Oceanfront theme.

ITEM # 52319 (Continued)
Last week, this same presentation was made to the entire Resort Advisory Commission. There were two
votes:
Approve the concept but delay action related to the one-way pairing.
(FAILED: 7-6)
Approve the one-way pairing (APPROVED: 8-0 with five (5)
Ab..tentions)
Relative the 1, OOO-car garage, the one- way would be a better method to handle all these cars, if they exit
at one time.
Concerning displacement of businesses, Mr. Block advised there will possibly be one (1) business displaced
on 30th Street at the curve and intersection of Baltic. None of the buildings along 31" Street will be taken.
A new corridor is being created. A one-way system with a dedicated bus lane would work. Issues of other
one-way situations in the entire Resort Area are beyond the scope of this particular project. The proposed
sidewalks at 3(j' Street are eighteen (18) feet wide from the back of the curb.
The City Manager advised some of these issues are now being reviewed with the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
feasibility study, which should be completed within the next month.
Both concepts shall be detailed during the Public Meeting process scheduled for Spring 2004.

DREDGING MEANS, METHODS AND PROGRAMS
I :45 P.M.
ITEM # 52320
E. Dean Block, Director of Public Works, discussed the City's Dredging Programs. The goal from the
Leader's Guide goals is simply to provide background information concerning dredging. This is one (jf
several presentations and policy reports to be receivedfrom Public Work~ over the next sixty (60) to ninety
(90) days.
Leader's Guide 2003-2004
Goal 2: Upgraded Waterways and Water quality
Objectives
Objective I: Higher Recreational Water quality
Objective 5: Improved Boating Use of Waterways
Actions 2003-2009
Lynnhaven River Dredging Project: Spoil city
City Dredging Policy
Dredging is the moving of material from one sub-aqueous location to another location or disposal area.
Typically three (3) types of material are dredged: sand, silt and clay. Dredging is often necessary to clear
material that impedes navigation or passage of storm water.
Three (3) methods of Dredging
Hydraulic Pipeline
Mechanical
Hopper
Hydraulic Pipeline dredging is simply sucking up the material from the bottom and pushing it out to another
location (vacuum and push). Mechanical dredging is a scoop and transfer process. Hopper dredging is
simply aform of Hydraulic dredging. The material is vacuumed up, placed in a Hopper and transferred to
the appropriate disposal site. Hydraulic Pipeline dredging is best suitedfor large scale channel navigation
and storm water facility dredging. For a number of reasons, this is ofien not possible. This is a floating
pump. The critical issue is the availability and management of a suitable disposal area.
Mechanical dredging is used extensively in navigational and storm water facility dredging. This is generally
the second choice method, as the method of dredging is less efficient, but often necessary. The dredged
material is scooped and then has to be barged and transferred by truck to the appropriate disposal area.
Mechanical dredging becomes more important as the disposal sites become limited. Mechanical dredging
utilizes standard equipment, lower cost to mobilize and is best suited for small scale projects.

DREDGING MEANS, METHODS AND PROGRAMS
ITEM # 52320 (Continued)
The classic Big Beach and Sandbridge are examples of Hopper dredging. Hopper dredging involves open
water applications. Sand (5, 000 to 6,000 cubic yards) is brought back, transported in the hopper to a pump-
out buoy and deposited on the Beach. Hopper dredges come in many different sizes; however, the Currituck
(Hopper Dredge) can only move 300 cubic yards at a time. The Hopper Boats for Big Beach could move
600 yards at a time.
There are four common forms of disposal: Beach Nourishment, Borrow Pit Filling, Confined Upland
Disposal and Open Water Placement. All of these methods are utilized in Virginia Beach.
Environmental Permitting
City's dredging program involves three (3) permits:
US. Army Corps of Engineers
Virginia Marine Resources Commission
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality
Often requires National Environmental Protection Act studies and
documentation
Environmental Assessment (EA)
Environmental Impact Statement (EfS)
Typical pre-issuance study and review period in excess of two (2) years
There is general support for dredging by adjacent landowners and waterway users, but general opposition
for disposal.
Funding
Federal Participation
Competition for Local Funds
Other Sources
City's Dredging Program
All three (3) methods utilized
Two (2) inlets with beach placement
(Lynnhaven and Rudee Inlet)
Use of Hopper dredges for large scale beach repleni.~hment

DREDGING MEANS, METHODS AND PROGRAMS
ITEM # 52320 (Continued)
Mr. Block referenced the dredging program in the Eastern Branch of the Lynnhaven River (1990). There
were eighteen (18) ancillary channels dredged at the same time. These channels piggy-backed on the City's
pipeline and utilized the same disposal site to the maximum capacity of that site. The dredging of the
Western Branch of the Lynnhaven River also encompassed some ancillary channels with the Northern Twin
Lakes used as the disposal site. The ancillary channels were piggy-backed on the City contract, using the
same pipeline and disposal areas. Individual projects are normally done by mechanical method with disposal
on city,furnished disposal area (Landfill II -City View Mountain)
Outstanding Issues
Dredged material disposal for:
Eastern and Western Branches of the Lynnhaven River
Ancillary Projects
Funding Challenges
Next Steps
Comprehensively identify and evaluate disposal option:
Real Estate ownership
Dredge material
Hauling/Pumping distances
Adjacent land uses
Environmentalfactors
Develop Policy Options for Ancillary Channels
Funding Update
Mr. Block is unaware of issues concerning internal canal systems in Sandbridge which were inundated with
over-wash from the ocean and sand buildup. Concerning the southern bodies of water i.e. West Neck Creek
and other major canal systems, these are issues to be addressed as part of the Stormwater Management
program. Mr. Block will research the issue of the Sandbridge canals. There are approximately ninety (90)
landowners who have contributed $20,000 each to pay for their dredging in Church Point and
Thoroughgood. There is a request in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for funding which will allow
the purchase of South Twin Lakes as a spoil site. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is
comfortable with some use of the South Twin Lakes; however, they are unwilling to sell. Council Lady
Wilson advised Wayne McClesky has an island in the River and this has been suggested as a spoil site.
Discussion with Fort Story re a potential spoil site was suggested.

ITEM # 52320 (Continued)
Mr. Block advised a modest program of lake dredging by mechanical means in the Capital Improvement
Program for storm water. Presently three (3) major projects, Lake Trant, Timber Lake and Turtle Lake are
in the program. Lake Trant and Timber Lake have heen designed and are awaiting a Department of
Environmental Quality permit. Mr. Block estimated work would commence on these two (2) projects in the
Fall of 2004. The Turtle Lake project design will be completed; and, hopefully this lake will be dredged
during January-December 2004. Tn Fiscal Year 2004-05, projects are scheduled in Brigadoon. In 2006-07
and 2007-08, projects are scheduled in Level Green, Green Run and Cinnamon Ridge. There are
approximately fiJUr hundred (400) lakes in the city. Approximately 1- 'h lakes per year are dredged at a cost

2:35 P.M.
ITEM # 52321
Mike Eason, Resort Services Coordinator, Convention and Visitor's Bureau, referenced the four (4) types
of cafe:
Boardwalk Cafe: A resort open air/boardwalk cafe' is located on
public property facing the boardwalk in the RT-l Zoning District
Connector Park Cafe: A resort connector park cafe' is to be located
on public property in a Connector Park in the RT-1 Zoning District.
The caf<! ' is not to extend east of the building's property line.
Atlantic Avenue Sidewalk Cafe: An Atlantic Avenue sidewalk cafe is
to be located on the public sidewalk along Atlantic Avenue directly
adjoining an existing restaurant facility in the RT-2 Zoning District.
Cafes are not permitted between 15" and 24" Streets on Atlantic
Avenue.
Atlantic Avenue Side Street Cafe: A resort side street cafe is to be
directly adjoining an existing restaurant facility in the RT-2 or RT-3
Zoning District to be located on public property; and, is to be located
on side streets only between Atlantic and Pacific Avenues. No cafes are
authorized west of Pacific Avenue.
The present sidewalk cafe' program allows cafes in four different areas of the Resort Area, including a
portion of Atlantic Avenue, but specifically restricts sidewalk cafes from Atlantic Avenue between 15" and
24" Streets. During the February 2004 City Council retreat, City Council supported the expansion of the
sidewalk cafe program to include this area.
Mr. Eason displayed photographs of the size of an outdoor cafe on Atlantic Avenue (depicting the outline
by barricades). An 8-foot setback is required from any obstacle in the right-of-way. This would leave
approximately seven (7) feet for the interior of the cafe. The cafe would have to have waiter and waitress
sit-down service. Disposable dishes and cutlery could not be utilized. There would be no canopies.
Umbrellas would be allowed on the tables and one (1) entrance and exit to the cafe. The hours would be
the same as the restaurant.
Councilman Maddox quoted from his proposed Ordinance, prepared by the City Attorney:
"WHEREAS, it is the sense of the City Council that an open air cafe program should
be evaluatedfor the advisability of allowing open air cafes, on an experimental basis,
on the west side of Atlantic Avenue between 20" and 23"1 Street, as a means of
enhancing the quality of the dining experiencing and general pedestrian environment

WHEREAS, it is also the sense of the City Council that because of the especially heavy
amount of pedestrian traffic on the west side of Atlantic Avenue, any open air cafes
allowed in this area must be subject to even more stringent regulations than are open
air cafes in other locations. That there is hereby established a pilot program to allow,
on an experimental basis, open air cafes to be located on the west side of Atlantic
between 2(Jh and 23,d Streets during the Resort season. Under such pilot program, the
City shall allow two (2) Franchises authorizing the operation between May First and
September Thirtieth, 2004, of open air cafes in that area under strict conditions
designed to allow the City Council to evaluate (1) the effects of such cafes; (2) the
regulations applicable to such open air cafes; and, (3) the advisability of continuing
such a program on an expanded basis. That, the aforementioned open air cafes shall be
subject to all applicable resort open air cafe regulations pertaining to Atlantic Avenue
sidewalk cafes, and, in addition, the aforesaid franchisees shall be subject to the
following additional requirements, which requirements shall control in the event of a
conflict with the Open Air Cafe regulations.
(1) Alcoholic Beverages shall only be served with meals and only in unbreakable
drinkware.
(2) The operators shall not permit persons, other than patrons or employees of the
establishment, to enter the franchise area or congregate therein other than at
tables provided by the establishment.
(3) In the event a duly authorized public safety official of the City determines, in
his or her sole direction, that the open air cafe should be closed earlier than the
normal closing times for reason of crowd control, unruly behavior, either
within the establishment or nearby areas or for other reasons related to
preservation of public safety or public order, the operator shall close the open
air cafe immediately or at such later time as directed by the public safety
official;.
(4) A menu, or Bill of Fare, offered by the establishment shall be provided by the
City Manager or his designee and the open air cafe may remain open onZv so
long as all regular menu items served by the establishment are available to
patrons;
(5) The operator shall not permit the franchise area to be used for storage of
fi/rniture or equipment or any other purpose other than as an open air cafe;
(6) The operator shall not allow persons awaiting entry into the establishment or
open air cafe to form lines on the sidewalk, but shall admit patrons only from
inside the establishment;
(7) The operator shall strictly comply with all fire, building, zoning, alcoholic
beverage control or health regulations.

(8) The Franchise may be revoked by the City Manager whenever the City
Manager determines (1) the owner or operator of the establishment has been
found guilty of a criminal offense arising frOm the operation of the
establishment; (2) the owner or operator has been assessed a civil penaltyfor
violation of any fire, building, zoning, alcoholic beverage control or health
regulations arising from the operation of the establishment; (3) the presence
of the open air cafe is causing, or contributing to, a deterioration of the quality
of the pedestrian or general environment in the area; (4) the open air caje is
in violation of any material term of its franchise or resort open air cafe
regulations. In addition, the City Manager may suspend the owner or
operator's privilege to operate the open air cafe under the Franchise pending
a final disposition of any criminal charges related to alcoholic beverage
control violations.
The City Manager is authorized to accept proposals for open air cafe Franchises for
the area between 20" and 23"/ Street, and of those received, shall select for presentation
to the City Council the two proposals, which in his opinion, best promote the objectives
of the pilot program. By no later than November 30, 2004, the City Manager shall
provide the City Council, a written evaluation of this Pilot Program and his
recommendations concerning the continuation, expansion or termination of the Pilot
Program.
In determining whether an expansion of the pilot program is warranted, the City
Council shall consider all relevant factors pertaining to the objectives of the City in
allowing open air cafes, including, without limitation, the quality of menu offerings,
table service, appearance and general caliber of the establishments desiring to operate
open air cafes and the degree to which such establishments are likely to provide a
desirable, public amenity, which enhances the appearance and pedestrian experience
on the west side of Atlantic Avenue. "
On March 4, 2004, the Resort Advisory Commission voted to endorse the pilot program.

Relative question No.2 in said correspondence:
"Pilot programs involving outdoor cafes on the side streets at Doughboys (17" Street)
and Haagen-Dazs (21" Street) were previously deemed a failure due to the negative
impact on the pedestrian right-of-way and behavior issues. Have these examples been
a part of the discussion, including a staff analysis on why these pilot programs were
unsuccessful? "
Doughboys was built without a physical survey. The City Manager advised a permanent canopy had been
affixed to the building, which came out over the sidewalk and was in violation of the standards for cafes.
Mr. Eason advised the Haagen-Dazs cafe was removed as it did not have waiter, waitress service as required
by the regulations. The process involving an open air cafe usually entails four (4) to six (6) months.
Nancy Perry, Executive Director - Virginia Beach Hotel-Motel Association. advised speaking with
Councilman Maddox detailing their opposition. This proposal has not been discussed with the Police
Department. The City, Police, Design Committee and the Resort Industry should work together on
programs. The Association is concerned the issues of covering, control, appearance, cleanliness and
enforcement have not been addressed properly. At the March Fourth Resort Advisory Commission meeting,
a substitute motion was carried by a vote of 7 to 6 to allow only two cafes under a pilot program in 2004,
one in the block between 20" and 21"" Streets, and the other in the block between 22"" and 23rd Streets.
Matt Falvey, President - Virginia Beach Restaurant Association, clarified the vote of the Resort Advisory
Commission as being 7 to 5 allowing the two cafes. The two (2) proposed establishments are well run, one
of which has been on Atlantic Avenue for thirty (30) years. Both are "hands on" owner-operated. This is
a pilot program of one year, subject to stringent guidelines.
A formal response shall be provided to the Virginia Beach Hotel-Motel Association with copies of the

Nick Anoia, Chair - Parks and Recreation Commission, advised the importance of the Parks and Recreation
Strategic Plan. Parks and Recreation Commission has unanimously supported the development of this
strategic planning initiative. A needs assessment will be provided through the utilization of this plan. The
Parks and Recreation Commission has recently been accredited and this accreditation requires a Strategic
Plan.
Cindy A. Curtis, Director - Department of Parks and Recreation, advised the Department was recently
accredited by the National Recreation and Parks Association, which continues to be the only department in
the State of Virginia and the nineteenth in the United States to achieve this level of professionalism and
recognition.
The Plan is an investment in the future. The Department of Parks and Recreation is a $40-MILLION
business unit of the City with between $150-MILLION and $200-MILLION in capital assets. This is a small
investment re the visioning and plans to maximize the resources. No new appropriations are needed. The
funding is currently available. The price has been negotiated down significantly. Currently the price is
established at $269,830 (a reduction of over $IOO,OOO). The Department has their own detailed inventory.
GIS can provide maps and surveys for equi~y mapping and existing survey information. The staff is
committed to work on this project. Landscape Services has been merged with Parks and Recreation. The
Department wishes to capitalize on those opportunities to gain efficiencies through economies of scale.
Parks and Recreation has been partnering with other departments such as Public Works. As part of the plans
involve facilities maintenance of indoor Recreation Centers, Public Works has offered to participate in
funding this Plan. Parks and Recreation believes this $269,830 investment will be returned within a
minimum of two (2) years. There will be significant direct savings, real/ocation of st(1ff and resources,
ejjiciencies and streamlining. The Department will be able to report those savings back to City Council in
their Annual Report.
Key Components of the Process
Extensive citizen and key stakeholders input: Data gathered through focus groups,
public forums, surveys and key stakeholder interviews, City Council, the Parks and
Recreation Commission and the citizens will be informed and involved throughout the
process
Equity Mapping: Future development of parks, Community Recreation Centers and
athletic facilities will be based on compatibility with neighborhoods and the needs of
the service area. The plan will provide a prioritized list of projects and programs based
on citizen need
Benchmarking: Through this process, the Department will develop performance
measures based on national standards. The Department wishes to be benchmarked
against the best
Efficiency: The process will clarify areas where efficiencies can be gained through
redirection of resources, staffing and funding
Community Values Model: This planning model ensures that the Strategic Plan reflects
community needs

Completion of the plan in a timely manner: Twelve (12) to eighteen (18)

The Virginia Beach Outdoor Plan was a tremendous success for this community, largely staff driven;
however, that Plan did require over $100,000 in additional expenses re advertising, consultant costs and
data collection. This Plan also entailed over 5, 500 hours of staff time and only encompassed a small portion
of the Department's responsibilities.
The staff could facilitate the Plan; however, this does not bring the national oversight of the Management
Consultant firm and the best practices throughout the community. The Department would have to cease
some of its current responsibilities. The staff is currently maxed out re the construction activities:
renovation of the golf course, Princess Anne Ballfield complex. Funding is available in the Department's
current (FY 2003-2004) budget cycle. The funding was derived from an appropriation made by City Council
in the FY 2003-2004 Resource Management Plan. A resource allocation and programming process was
undertaken. Revenue does not necessarily meanfees, but sponsorships, partnerships, marketing and naming
rights. The Department could chose not to undertake some of the plans prepared by the Consultant. The
Department could chose not to do the Facility Maintenance Management Plan and reduce the funding
required. Parks and Recreation performs the hackground work; however, the Consultants perform the final
analysis.

fundingfor core services such as education and public safety and support of the State Budget as proposed
by Senate Bill 30. Virginia Beach would be required to expend $150-MILLION each year for education
above that required by the State mandated Standards of Quality. This amount would be equal to
approximately fifty (50if) cents on the real estate tax rate in the City of Virginia Beach. Virginia Beach has
had to find increased tax revenuefor education every year since 1986, which was the last year the taxes were
raised by the Commonwealth. The proposed Resolution was DRAFTED by Robert Matthias, Assistant to the
City Manager.
Mayor Oberndorf advised the Virginia Municipal League and the Mayor and Chairs of Hampton Roads are
supportive o.f Senate Bill 30.
Councilman Villanueva r~ferenced the correspondence from the Virginia Municipal League (VML), which
is more succinct than the Mayor's proposed Resolution and does not require the choice of either the House

3 THAT WILL ENABLE THE COMMONWEALTH
4 TO MEET ITS RESPONSIBILITIES TO
5 CITIZENS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
6
7 WHEREAS, one of the primary responsibilities of the General
8 Assembly is to fund basic services to the citizens of Virginia,
9 such as education, transportation, and mental health services;
10
WHEREAS, the Virginia General Assembly is now deliberating
lIon the adoption of a biennial budget, and the House and Senate
12 have adopted budgets that are widely divergent;
13
WHEREAS, the Senate proposal recognizes the shortfall in
14 revenue for providing basic services to the citizens of Virginia
15 and the need for tax reform, by increasing revenue across the
16 Commonwealth through a mix of tax increases and relief;
17
WHEREAS, the Senate proposal will make a maj or, overdue
18 investment by the Commonwealth in public education by addressing
19 important revisions in the Standards of Quality proposed by both
20 the State Board of Education and the General Assembly's own
21 Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission;
22
WHEREAS, this proposal will also fund the Commonwealth's
23 share of other statutory commitments, such as HB 599 and state
24 per diem payments for prisoners in local jails, and permit
25 investment in the under-funded and overburdened transportation

35 the City of Virginia Beach being required to increase local
36 taxes to address the Commonwealth's under-funding of education
37 and other services.
38
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY

THIS AGREEMENT is made this 22. ~ day of December 2003, by and between

Covenants, Restrictions and Conditions, dated January 6, 1994, recorded in the Clerk's Office of
the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach in Deed Book 3347, at page 148, and adopted as
part of a previous amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of Virginia Beach (the "Proffers");
and
WHEREAS, Grantor intends to develop, operate, and use the Property for one or more
purposes different than contemplated in the Proffers, and Grantor has initiated an amendment of
the Zoning Map requesting that the Proffers be terminated in their entirety and replaced with the
covenants, restrictions and conditions of this Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development ofland
for various purposes, including mixed use purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation; and
GPINs: 1494-81-1533
WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that competing and sometimes incompatible uses
conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the subject Property and at
the same time to recognize the effects of the change and the need for various types of uses,
certain reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the
community that are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned B-IA are needed to cope
with the situation to which the Grantor's rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and prior to
the public hearing before the Grantee, as part of the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map, in
addition to the regulations provided for in the existing B-1 A zoning district by the existing City's
Zoning Ordinance ("CZO"), the following reasonable conditions related to the physical
development, operation and use of the Property, to be adopted as a part of said amendment to the
new Zoning Map relative to the Property, all of which have a reasonable relation to the rezoning
and the need for which is generated by the rezoning; and
WHEREAS, said conditions having been proffered by the Grantor and allowed and
accepted by the Grantee as part ofthe amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, such conditions shall
continue in full force and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning on the
Property covered by such conditions; provided, however, that such conditions shall continue
despite a subsequent amendment if the subsequent amendment is part of the comprehensive
implementation of a new or substantially revised zoning ordinance, unless, notwithstanding the
foregoing, these conditions are amended or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia and executed by the record
owner of the subject Property at the time of recordation of such instrument; provided, further,
that said instrument is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of
ordinance or resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee advertised pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-
2204, which said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with said instrument as
conclusive evidence of such consent.
2

development, operation and use of the Property and hereby covenants and agrees that these

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made this 21st day of October, 2003, by and between the CITY
OF VIRGINIA BEACH DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, a political subdivision of the
Commonwealth of Virginia (the "Authority", and for indexing purposes, the "Grantor"); and the
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the
"City", and for indexing purposes, the "Grantee").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Authority has initiated an amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia, by petition addressed to the City, so as to change the classification
from B-3 to B-3 A Conditional on certain property which contains a total of 1.4 acres, more or
less, located in the Lynnhaven Election District of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, more
particularly described in the attached Exhibit A (hereinafter the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the City's policy is to provide only for the orderly development ofland for
various purposes, including mixed use purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Authority acknowledges that the competing and sometimes
incompatible uses conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the
subject Property and at the same time to recognize the effects of the change and the need for
various types of uses, certain reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the
protection of the community that are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned B-3A are
needed to cope with the situation to which the Authority's rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and prior to
the public hearing before the City, as part of the proposed conditional amendment to the Zoning
GPIN Nos.: 1477-44-8444-0000, 1477-44-6493-0000
1477-44-7594-0000, 1477-44-8594-0000
Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the existing B-3 A zoning district by the
existing City's Zoning Ordinance (CZO), the following reasonable conditions related to the
physical development, operation and use of the Property to be adopted as a part of said
amendment to the new Zoning Map relative to the Property, all of which have a reasonable
relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning; and
WHEREAS, said conditions having been proffered by the Authority and allowed and
accepted by the City as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, such conditions shall
continue in full force and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning on the
Property covered by such conditions; provided, however, that such conditions shall continue
despite a subsequent amendment if the subsequent amendment is part of the comprehensive
implementation of a new or substantially revised zoning ordinance, unless, notwithstanding the
foregoing, these conditions are amended or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and executed by the record
owner of the subject Property at the time of recordation of such instrument; provided, further,
that said instrument is consented to by the City in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of
ordinance or resolution adopted by the governing body of the City, after a public hearing before
the City advertised pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-2204, which
said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with said instrument as conclusive evidence
of such consent.
NOW THEREFORE, the Authority, for itself, its successors, assigns, grantees, and
other successors in title or interest, voluntarily and without any requirement by or exaction from
the City or its governing body and without any element of compulsion of quid pro qUO for
zoning, rezoning, site plan, building permit or subdivision approval, hereby makes the following
declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall restrict and govern the physical
development, operation and use of the Property and hereby covenants and agrees that these
Proffers shall constitute covenants running with the title to the Property, which shall be binding
upon the Property and upon all parties and persons claiming under or through the Authority, its
successors, assigns, grantees, and other successors in title or interest, namely:

subdivision review and administration of applicable City Codes by all cognizant City agencies
and departments to meet all applicable City Code requirements.
All references hereinabove to zoning districts and to regulations applicable thereto, refer
to the City Zoning Ordinance of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, in force as of the date the

vested with all necessary authority on behalf of the governing body of the City to administer and
enforce the foregoing conditions, including (i) the ordering in writing of the remedying of any
noncompliance with such conditions, and (ii) the bringing of legal action or suit to ensure
compliance with such conditions, including mandatory or prohibitory injunction, abatement,
damages or other appropriate action, suit or proceedings; (2) the failure to meet all conditions
shall constitute cause to deny the issuance of any of the required building or occupancy permits
as may be appropriate; (3) if aggrieved by any decision of the Zoning Administrator made
pursuant to the provisions of the City Code, the CZO or this Agreement, the Authority shall
petition the governing body for the review thereof prior to instituting proceedings in court; and
