CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Chapters 1-2, 6-3, 6-5, 6-30, 6-114, and 31-28 of the City
Code Pertaining to the Definition of Resort Season
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background: The resort season has traditionally been defined as Memorial Day to
Labor Day. However, there are many sections of the City Code that have conflicting dates
defining the resort season, which makes enforcement of each specific City Code section difficult
and confusing for enforcement officials. Furthermore, over the past several resort seasons two
major developments have occurred, including the extension of the resort season and expansion
of the beach. Recent occupancy studies have shown that more than 50% of all tourists visit the
City during the months of September to May. This trend indicates the traditional "shoulder"
seasons are becoming more popular for vacation travel, and the City is heading towards a more
year-round travel destination. Operation Big Beach has also expanded the shoreline to a total of
300 feet. The expanded beach allows more visitors to enjoy normal beach activities such as sun
bathing, swimming, throwing Frisbees and ball playing. This item was deferred
January 4, 2005.
■ Considerations: Since the "shoulder" seasons are expanding and there is more room
on the beach for traditional beach activities, the definition of resort season should be changed to
May 1 to September 30. As a result, several code provisions that were enacted as public safety
measures to restrict or limit use of the beach and resort area amenities need to be amended to
reflect these new trends as well as unifying the definition of resort season in the separate City
Code sections. Provisions relating to playing ball and throwing Frisbees need to be relaxed
while provisions regulating fishing, animals on the beach, and launching recreational vehicles
need to be tightened to reflect the expanded resort season.
■ Public Information: In March this issue was reviewed with the Resort Advisory
Commission and recommended to City Council for the following season. A comment was
received by a resident concerned about the impact on residents with a shorter season in which
dogs are allowed on the beach, and asking for installation of a doggy park on Beach Garden
Park. The future use of Beach Garden Park is also under consideration with the possible
expansion of the Virginia Beach Middle School. Further public information on the Resort
Season definition is to be provided through the normal agenda process.
■ Alternatives: Create a new definition of resort season or do not adopt ordinance
■ Recommendations: Adopt Ordinance
■ Attachments: Ordinance
Recommended Action: Approval of Ordinance

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance to Amend the City Code by Establishing Minimum
Requirements for Adequate Space for Animals and Limiting the Amount of
Time that Animals May Be Tethered
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
Background:
State law permits animals to be tethered, if done with an appropriate collar or
harness and a tether that is at least three times the length of the animal. However,
state law does not address the length of time that an animal may be tethered.
• Consideration:
The proposed ordinance establishes standards for animals to be kept in
adequate space. It also details how animals may be tethered. The ordinance
limits the length of time that an animal may be tethered to three hours in any 24-
hour period.
The City's power to regulate the length of time that animals may be tethered is
provided by the City's Charter, at § 2.02 (g), which permits the City's regulation
of the keeping of animals. Furthermore, Virginia Code § 3.1-796.94:1 empowers
cities to prohibit cruelty and abuses of animals, and also authorizes the City's
regulation of the keeping of animals.
Public Information: The proposed ordinance will be publicized as part of the
City Council's agenda.

REQUESTED BY MAYOR MEYERA E. OBERNDORF AND COUNCILMEMBER PETER SCHMIDT
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY
CODE BY ESTABLISHING MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADEQUATE SPACE
FOR ANIMALS AND LIMITING THE TIME
THAT ANIMALS MAY BE TETHERED
SECTION ADDED: § 5-19
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA
BEACH, VIRGINIA:
That Section 5-19 of the City Code is hereby added, to read
as follows:
Sec. 5-19. Adequate Space for Animals; Time Restriction on
Tethering Animals.
(a) It shall be unlawful to fail to provide any animal
with adequate space. "Adequate space" means sufficient
space to allow each animal to (i) easily stand, sit, lie,
turn about, and make all other normal bodv movements in a
comfortable, normal position for the animal and (ii
interact safelv with other animals in the enclosure.
(b) When an animal is tethered, "adequate space" means a
tether that permits the above actions and is appropriate to
the aae and size of the animal. The tether must be
attached to the animal by a properly applied collar,
halter, or harness confiaured so as to protect the animal
from inlury and prevent the animal or tether from becomin
entanaled with other objects or animals, or from extendin
over an object or edge that could result in the
strangulation or injury of the animal. Furthermore, the
tether must be at least three times the length of the
animal, as measured from the tip of its nose to the base of
its tail, except when the animal is being walked on a leash
or is attached by a tether to a lead line. When freedom of
movement would endanger the animal, temporarily and
appropriately restricting movement of the animal according
to professionally accepted standards for the species is
considered to be provision of adequate space.
(c) It shall be unlawful for any animal to be tethered for
more than three (3) hours, cumulatively, in any twenty-
four -hour period.
COMMENT
The proposed ordinance establishes standards for animals to be kept in adequate space. It
also details how animals may be tethered. The ordinance limits the length of time that an animal
may be tethered to three hours in any 24-hour period.
Virginia Code § 3.1-796.66 permits animals to be tethered if the tethering done with an
appropriate collar or harness and a tether that is at least three times the length of the animal.
However, state law does not address the length of time that an animal may be tethered.
The City's power to regulate the length of time that animals may be tethered is provided by
the City's Charter, at § 2.02 (g), which permits the City's regulation of the keeping of animals.
Furthermore, Virginia Code § 3.1-796.94:1 empowers cities to prohibit cruelty and abuses of
animals, and also authorizes the City's regulation of the keeping of animals.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: S & W Simpson, L.L.C., -- Change to a Nonconforming Use and Structure,
1608 Princess Anne Road
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background:
A Resolution upon Application of S & W Simpson, L.L.C. for the Modification of a
Nonconforming Use and Structure on property located at 1608 Princess Anne
Road (GPINS 24029547340000; 24029536600000). DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS
ANNE.
■ Considerations:
The applicant wishes to convert the existing use of the site from a restaurant to
an automobile and farm equipment parts store. The applicant proposes to
demolish the existing structure and construct a new building and parking area.
Natasha's Bistro currently occupies the site. The site has been used as a
gasoline station, convenience store and restaurant in the past. These non-
residential uses are not permitted within the AG-2 Agricultural District; thus, the
existing use is considered nonconforming and any change to the use or structure
must be approved by the City Council under Section 105 of the City Zoning
Ordinance.
The proposed building will be 9,000 square feet in area, with 2,000 square feet
devoted to the customer service area and 7,000 square feet devoted to storage.
The proposed building is situated 67 feet from the front property line, 76 feet from
the northern property line, 167 feet from the southern property line and 10 feet
from the eastern property line. The proposed building is utilitarian in design,
which is in keeping with the rural agricultural outbuildings found in the
community. The applicant proposes 33 parking spaces on the site. Parking lot
landscaping is depicted on the site plan.
■ Recommendations:
Pursuant to Section 105(e) of the City Zoning Ordinance, a nonconforming use
may be modified only if the City Council finds that the proposed use, as modified,
will be "equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing
nonconformity."
Staff finds that this proposed change is more appropriate to the district than the
existing nonconformity. The new use will provide a service to the agricultural
industry that the Comprehensive Plan considers as more desirable than an
eating and drinking establishment. The proposed building is also consistent with
S & W Simpson, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 3
the recommendations of the Plan, being of a style and predominantly constructed
with materials typical of agricultural storage buildings.
Approval is recommended with the following conditions:
The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted
preliminary site plan entitled "NAPA STORE, 1608 PRINCESS ANNE
ROAD, PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN", prepared by The Spectra Group,
dated 10/04/04. Said plan has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach
City Council and is on file in the City of Virginia Beach Planning
Department.
2. The proposed building shall be constructed substantially in accordance
with the submitted elevation entitled "NAPA AUTO PARTS, PRINCESS
ANNE ROAD, VA. BEACH, VA," prepared by Architectural Studio, PLLC,
dated Oct. 19, 2004. Said plan has been exhibited to the City of Virginia
Beach City Council and is on file in the City of Virginia Beach Planning
Department.
3. The applicant shall submit a lighting and / or a photometric diagram plan
for review by City staff. The lighting plan shall include the location of all
pole mounted and building mounted lighting fixtures, and the listing of
lamp type, wattage, and type of fixture. Lighting on the rear and sides of
the building shall have appropriate shielding to direct light downward and
not into adjacent areas. All lighting on the site shall be consistent with
those standards recommended by the Illumination Engineering Society of
North America.
4. The applicant shall install Category IV screening along the northern,
eastern and southern property lines.
5. The hours of operation shall be Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00
PM, Saturday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sunday, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Charles Barker Toyota — Modification of Conditions
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Charles Barker Toyota for a Modification to a
Conditional Use Permit for automobile repair and car wash on property located at
1877 Laskin Road (GPIN 24075726320000). DISTRICT 6 — BEACH
■ Considerations:
The applicant is requesting to modify a Conditional Use Permit allowing an
addition to the existing automobile dealership of 3,589 square feet to the body
shop and two (2) car wash bays. The car wash bays will be for the use of the
dealership only and not open to the general public. The original Conditional Use
Permit permitting the automobile sales and service was approved by the City
Council on July 11, 1966. This was recently modified in September of 2002 for
the expansion of the facility onto the parcel to the south.
Condition 1 of the 2002 Use Permit limits the development to that specifically
depicted on the conditioned site plan; therefore, a modification to that condition is
required for this additional proposal for expansion.
The proposed additions are minor in scope and are consistent and compatible
with the surrounding zoning and land uses and with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because it is
an appropriate expansion of an existing use, Staff recommended approval, and
there was no opposition.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 with 1
abstention to approve this request with the following conditions:
All conditions with the exception of Number 1 attached to the Conditional Use
Permit granted by the City Council on September 10, 2002, shall remain in
affect.

2. Condition Number 1 of the September 10, 2002, Conditional Use Permit is

All improvements shall be in substantial conformance to the exhibit
entitled "Expansion Plan of Charles Barker Toyota, 1877 Laskin Road,
Virginia Beach, Virginia," prepared by MSA, P.C., dated September 30,
2004, which has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council
and is on file with the Virginia Beach Planning Department.

Summaryof ' o•• «
The applicant is requesting to modify an existing Conditional Use Permit with the
addition of 3,589 square feet to the body shop and two (2) car wash bays. The car
wash bays will be for the use of the dealership only and not open to the general public.

7. No vehicles for sale or rent shall be parked within any portion of the public rights -of -
way or within landscaped areas.
8. A fifteen foot (15) wide, Category IV landscape buffer shall be installed along all

Major issues
The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staffs evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
• Degree to which the proposal is compatible with the surrounding land uses.
• Consistency of the proposal with the Comprehensive Plan and the level of quality
sought for the Laskin Road Corridor.
Comprehensive Dian
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as within Strategic Growth Area 7,
Hilltop/North Oceana Area. Because of the influence of the AICUZ in this area, non-
residential uses are recommended for this area. Given the attributes of this area's
location, it has a "great potential for contributing more in the future toward the well-being
of the City" (page 76). The Plan recommends that special attention be directed at
quality of site and building design, including signage, to increase the overall
attractiveness of this area.
An
Staff Evaluation
Staff recommends approval of this request.
Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials,
adequately addresses each of the `Major Issues' identified above. The proposal's
strengths in addressing the `Major Issues' are
(1) The proposed additions are minor in scope and are consistent and compatible
with the surrounding zoning and land uses and with the existing Conditional Use
CHARELS BARKER TOYOTA
Agenda Item # 1.0
Page 4
Permit.
(2) The Comprehensive Plan calls for any expansion of commercial uses in this area
to be done in harmony with the concept of providing an attractive, safe, and
well -maintained physical environment and to ensure that the uses are consistent
with the goals established for the Laskin Road Corridor. Development proposals
must make adequate provisions to ensure the highest degree of site and building
design quality, increased parking lot and building foundation landscaping, and
adequate visual screening against apartment and residential uses. Staff
concludes that maintaining the existing conditions, along with those imposed with
this proposal, accomplishes this.
Conditions
1. All conditions with the exception of Number 1 attached to the Conditional Use
Permit granted by the City Council on September 10, 2002, shall remain in affect.
2. Condition Number 1 of the September 10, 2002, Conditional Use Permit is
deleted and replaced with the following:
All improvements shall be in substantial conformance to the exhibit
entitled "Expansion Plan of Charles Barker Toyota, 1877 Laskin Road,
Virginia Beach, Virginia," prepared by MSA, P.C., dated September 30,
2004, which has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council
and is on file with the Virginia Beach Planning Department.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the
administration of applicable City Ordinances. The site plan
submitted with this conditional use permit may require
revision during detailed site plan review to meet all
applicable City Codes. Conditional use permits must be
activated within 12 months of City Council approval. See
Section 220(g) of the City Zoning Ordinance for further
information.

CONSENT
William Din: The next item is Item #10. This is Charles Barker Toyota. This is an
Ordinance for a Conditional Use Permit for automobile repair and car wash on property
located at 1877 Laskin Road in the Beach District. There are two conditions.
Michael Perry: Thank you Madame Chair and members of the Planning Commission.
My name is Mike Perry and I'm representing the applicant. We have reviewed those
conditions and we approve of those.
William Din: Thank you.
Michael Perry: Thank you.
William Din: Is there any opposition to placing this on consent? If not, Ms. Anderson, I
believe will talk about this one.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. The applicant in this application is requesting an
expansion of an existing automobile sales and service. It is located on Laskin Road. His
expansion involves an addition of an additional body shop to the site and a two bay car
wash. The car wash will not be used for the public but just for the purpose of the
dealership. There have been automobile sales and service located at this site since 1966.
This is just an expected expansion of this use that we believe is appropriate and would
recommend approval.

following consent item, Item #10 Charles Barker Toyota. This is a Conditional Use
Permit for automobile repair and car wash on property located at 1877 Laskin Road in the

At the December 14, 2004 City Council meeting, the City Council deferred
these requests to the January 11, 2005 meeting.
■ Considerations:
The proposal is for two distinct developments on the western portion and the
eastern portion of the total site. The portions are shown as being connected
across Thalia Creek by a pedestrian bridge and walkway system.
The western parcel, Parcel A, is proposed for a multi -family apartment complex
with 202 units. The conceptual plan shows a U-shaped building. The majority of
the parking for the apartments is provided under the building and within a parking
garage structure located in the middle of the site. There are some surface
parking spaces around the perimeter of the parking garage.
Cityview One, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 3
The eastern parcel, Parcel B, is proposed for four mixed use buildings. The uses
proposed for these buildings could include any or all of the following; residential
apartments/condominums, offices, hotel, or retail. The conceptual plan shows
that the majority of the residential units will be located within the large building
shown fronting on Bonney Road. A parking structure is proposed as part of this
large building to accommodate the majority of the parking needs for all of the
buildings on Parcel B. There is also some surface parking provided around each
individual building. A road to serve the parcel is shown on the plan to align with
the stoplight at the Bendix Road intersection. The planned roadway is based on
the alignment for Constitution Drive Extended as depicted in the current Capital
Improvement Program. The portion of the roadway proposed to be built with this
development is shown ending at the project's northern boundary and not
extending across the creek.
The proffered plan conflicts with the roadway alternatives depicted in the on-
going study of the Constitution Drive connection between the Town Center and
the south side of 1-264. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
consultant handling the study is on schedule to complete work within the next 60
days. The study involves various alternative road layouts that affect the subject
site. The road layout currently shown on the plan is not one of the three being
studied and is not considered a viable alternative in the study, as its continuation
to the south is not possible due to the location of significant existing development
along 1-264. With continued growth in the Pembroke Area as called for in the
Comprehensive Plan, additional connections between Virginia Beach Boulevard
and S. Independence Boulevard are vital to ensure a business center that
functions from a transportation and economic perspective. Continued intense
development, such as that proposed with this application, is dependent on it.
The opportunity to preserve a viable alignment for the connection recommended
by the Master Transportation Plan through this site is essential to provide the
transportation improvements necessary for the entire Pembroke Area.
The future of Bonney Road is also tightly tied to the study mentioned above. The
function of the roadway may change based on the flyover alignment that is
decided upon. This road may need to be widened or it may need to be relocated.
Because the proffered plan shows zero setbacks for the buildings fronting on
Bonney Road, the opportunity for widening or changing location of the roadway
in the future is severely restricted if the plan as submitted was approved with no
opportunity for modifications to address changes to Bonney Road.
In an attempt to address these issues, the applicant revised the proffers to
provide the City with the opportunity to notify the applicant prior to April 15, 2005
of its need to acquire portions of the subject site for alignments of Constitution
Drive and / or Bonney Road. A "Right of Way Acquisition Agreement" is included
providing the method of acquisition. Proffer 5 provides the method of allowing
modifications to the site layout to accommodate the new alignment(s).
However, Staff believes that the process for decision -making on the future flyover
alignment should not be short-circuited. The transportation study is not yet
Cityview One, L.L.C.
Page 3 of 3
complete and an alignment for a connection between Constitution Drive and the
south side of 1-264 has not been finalized. Many people other than this applicant
are affected by this decision. Stakeholder involvement is essential to the
process, and the alternatives must be evaluated based on impacts, benefits and
cost, and public review. Thus, the preferable course of action with these
applications is a deferral until the results of the study are complete, allowing for a
project that accommodates and complements the alignments that are
recommended by the study.

is surrounded on the northern and eastern sides by Thalia Creek, a
AND
tidal tributary to the Chesapeake Bay. The eastern half, Parcel B, is
CULTURAL
surrounded on the western, northern and eastern sides by Thalia
FEATURES:
Creek. Both Parcels A and B are heavily wooded. There are
approximately 7.5 acres of water, marsh and wetlands on both
parcels combined. The proposed development has been reviewed
for buffer encroachments by the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area
Board and the conceptual plan was approved by the Board in July
2004 with several conditions. The conditions are listed at the end of
this report.
AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of less than 65dB Ldn surrounding NAS
Oceana.
The proposal is for two distinct developments on the western portion and the eastern
portion of the total site. The portions are shown as being connected across Thalia Creek
by a pedestrian bridge and walkway system.
The western parcel, Parcel A, is proposed for a multi -family apartment complex with 202
units. The conceptual plan shows a U-shaped building. The majority of the parking for
the apartments is provided under the building and within a parking garage structure
located in the middle of the site. There are some surface parking spaces around the
perimeter of the parking garage.
The eastern parcel, Parcel B, is proposed for four mixed use buildings. The uses
proposed for these buildings could include any or all of the following; residential
apartments/condominums, senior housing, offices, hotel, or retail. The conceptual plan
shows that the majority of the residential units will be located within the large building
shown fronting on Bonney Road. A parking structure is proposed as part of this large
building to accommodate the majority of the parking needs for all of the buildings on
Parcel B. There is also some surface parking provided around each individual building.
A road to serve the parcel is shown on the plan to align with the stoplight at the Bendix
Road intersection. A roadway shown running through this parcel is based on the
alignment for Constitution Drive Extended as depicted in the current Capital
Improvement Program. The portion of the roadway proposed to be built with this
development is shown ending at the project's northern boundary and not extending
across the creek. The proposed roadway may have to be re -located based on the
provisions of Proffer 5, which address the results of a study currently being conducted
to determine the specific alignment for crossings on the east and west side of the 1-264
and Independence Boulevard interchange to address transportation needs in this area.
The proposed design and layout of the buildings incorporate many of the concepts used
to create an urban atmosphere. Setbacks for the buildings are shown at zero to ten feet
off of the right-of-way. Surface parking is minimized. All buildings are at the minimum
height of 35 feet required by the ordinance for the B-4C District. The elevations show a
particular architectural theme and coordinated building elements, resulting in an
aesthetically pleasing project.
The plan also depicts a pedestrian plaza and walkway system that includes two bridges
over Thalia Creek. The pedestrian plaza is located north of the building shown on the
western side of Parcel B. One bridge is shown extending from the plaza across the
creek to connect Parcel B to Parcel A. The other bridge is shown connecting Parcel B
to the existing end of Constitution Drive across Thalia Creek. This bridge is proposed to
be located within existing City right-of-way.
Major Issues
The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staffs evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
• The Master Transportation Plan recommends a connection between the existing
end of Constitution Drive and S. Independence Boulevard. This connection
includes a road crossing over 1-264. For a variety of reasons, the exact alignment
shown on the Master Transportation Plan is not feasible. A consultant to the
Virginia Department of Transportation is conducting a study to determine the best
alignment for the connection within the general corridor shown on the Master
Transportation Plan. The current alternatives for the connection all affect the site
proposed for rezoning.
• The results of the study mentioned above will affect how Bonney Road will
function in the future, which will undoubtedly affect the proposed development.
• The process for decision -making on the future flyover alignment should not be
short-circuited and should involve all stakeholders, including the applicant, but
also including other interested parties in the affected area.
• The proffered plan should address all impacts of the proposed rezoning on
existing public infrastructure and surrounding land uses.
• The proffered plan should provide a reasonable level of predictability concerning
the function and quality of the proposed development.
• The proffered plan should be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, including
the Mixed Use Development Guidelines.
Comprehensive Pla �
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being within Strategic Growth Area 4 —
Pembroke Area. The Pembroke Strategic Growth Area consists of many tracts of land
that widely differ with respect to type, intensity, character and value of land use. This
SGA enjoys a locational advantage within the City of Virginia Beach and the region.
Significant investments and ongoing economic growth is occurring within many sectors
of the Central Business District. The B-4C Central Business Mixed Use District was
CITYVIEW ONE, LLC
Page 4
created to encourage continued private investment in reshaping this area consistent
with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan.
This application is the first proposal to request a rezoning to B-4C Central Business
Mixed Use District. The purpose of the B-4C Central Business Mixed Use District is to
provide an area that complements the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District
through quality mixed use development around the periphery of the Central Business
District (CBD) at intensities and patterns that support multiple modes of transportation,
higher residential densities, and an integrated mix of residential and non-residential
uses within the same building or on the same lot, while at the same time being
compatible with less intensive uses farther out from the CBD. Requests for rezonings to
the B-4C Central Business Mixed Use District are to be limited to the area surrounding
the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District in the area generally bounded by
Thalia Creek on the east, Interstate 264 on the south, Aragona Boulevard on the west,
and Jeanne Street and Broad Street on the north. Development within the B-4C Central
Business Mixed Use District should adhere to the Comprehensive Plan's Mixed Use
Development Guidelines.
e
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning
Agreement (CZA). The applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning
Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to "offset identified
problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable," (§107(h)(1)). Should
this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve
as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.

EvaluationStaff
Staff is satisfied with the provisions of the proffers submitted to the Planning
Commission and then finalized after the commission hearing. Staff, therefore,
recommends approval of these of the conditional change of zoning and the conditional
use permits.
The proffered plan conflicts with the alternatives depicted in the on -going study of the
Constitution Drive connection between the Town Center and the south side of 1-264.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) consultant handling the study is on
schedule to complete work within the next 60 days. The study involves various
alternative road layouts that affect the subject site. The road layout currently shown on
the plan is not one of the three being studied and is not considered a viable alternative
in the study, as its continuation to the south is not possible due to the location of
significant existing development along 1-264. With continued growth in the Pembroke
Area as called for in the Comprehensive Plan, additional connections between Virginia
Beach Boulevard and S. Independence Boulevard are vital to ensure a business center
that functions from a transportation and economic perspective. Continued intense
development, such as that proposed with this application, is dependent on it. The
opportunity to preserve a viable alignment for the connection recommended by the
Master Transportation Plan through this site is essential to provide the transportation
improvements necessary for the entire Pembroke Area.
C
The future of Bonney Road is also tightly tied to the study mentioned above. The
function of the roadway may change based on the flyover alignment that is decided
upon. This road may need to be widened or it may need to be relocated. Because the
proffered plan shows zero setbacks for the buildings fronting on Bonney Road, the
opportunity for widening or changing location of the roadway in the future is severely
restricted if the plan as submitted was approved with no opportunity for modifications to
address changes to Bonney Road.
The process for decision -making on the future flyover alignment should not be short-
circuited. The route of the connection has not been finalized and many people other
than this applicant are affected by this decision. Stakeholder involvement is essential to
the process, and the alternatives must be evaluated based on impacts, benefits and
cost, and public review.
Thus, based on discussions between the City and the applicant, the applicant has
proffered provisions that provide the City with the opportunity to notify the applicant prior
to April 15, 2005 of its need to acquire portions of the subject site for alignments of
Constitution Drive and / or Bonney Road. A "Right of Way Acquisition Agreement" has
been developed to provide the method of acquisition and Proffer 5 provides the method
of allowing modifications to the site layout to accommodate the new alignment(s).
NOTE. Further conditions may be required during the
administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans
submitted with this rezoning application may require
revision during detailed site plan review to meet all
applicable City Codes.

Master Transportation
Plan (MTP): The Master Transportation Plan shows Constitution
Drive as a 100 foot divided roadway leading to a 150
foot right-of-way crossing 1-264 and connecting to
Independence Boulevard on the south side of 1-264. A
VDOT consultant is currently developing several
alternative alignments for this roadway concept at the
request of the City of Virginia Beach. All of the three
alternatives being studied affect the subject site. The
alignment study is scheduled to be complete within the
next 60 days.

Joseph Strange: The next application is Item #22 & 23 Cityview One, L.L.C. An
Ordinance upon Application of Cityview One, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from 0-2 Office District to Conditional B-4C Central Business Mixed Use
District on property located on the north side of Bonney Road at its intersection with
Bendix Road. An Ordinance upon Application of Cityview One, L.L.C. for a Conditional
Use Permit for multi -family dwellings, grocery stores, carry -out food stores and
convenience stores whether or not freestanding, but in a structure of a gross floor area of
not less than 5,000 square feet and housing for seniors on property located on the north
side of Bonney Road at its intersection with Bendix Road, District 5, Lynnhaven.
Eddie Bourdon: It's a mouthful. Thank you Madame Chair.
Ronald Ripley: I have an interest in this business of this application and I will be
abstaining. Is this our last item?
Dorothy Wood: This is our last item.
Ronald Ripley: Please note my abstention please.
Dorothy Wood: You certainly are not leaving for the day.
Eddie Bourdon: For the record, it's my privilege to represent the applicants on this
Cityview One, L.L.C. Cityview is what we have named this project. As Mr. Strange
read based on our new B-4C Central Business Mixed Used District Zoning, we are
requesting a Conditional Use Permit for multi -family dwellings and also a Conditional
Use Permit for a carry -out food grocery store within in a mixed use building. There is no
stand alone grocery store at all. We are, today withdrawing the Use Permit for the
housing for seniors. Please note that. We may come back in the future as the
development plan evolves and is on the ground with that but we will withdraw that Use
Permit for the housing for seniors. As I said it to this Commission last month, these
applicants have spent almost 12 months and ten of thousands of dollars developing a
beautiful mixed use, land use plan. In actually going to the Chesapeake Bay Board and
going through that process and getting kudos from them and approval of the plans from
the Bay Board. We have done that in faithful reliance upon the ultimate and undeniable
success of the City's vision for Town Center. We've also faithfully relied that the City's
commitment and investment in the TIF District will succeed in spurring other private
developers to develop and redevelop land in and around Town Center. And, finally
we've faithfully relied upon the existing Master Transportation Plan and the CIP Project
for Constitution Drive Extended. We certainly applaud and commend the City as was
stated at the beginning of the meeting with the award given for it's vision and action in
helping to create Town Center. Mr. Nutter did a beautiful job in describing Burrell
Saunders and CMSS Architects and his vision and I will just readopt his statements about
Burrell's abilities. This Commission also gave Mr. Saunders part of the award earlier this
afternoon. Now, I'm going to have Burrell come up and provide you with a more
detailed version of our vision for Cityview. Cityview is an entirely private investment
between 70-90 million dollars proposed which will generate significant annual real estate
tax revenues to the City exactly as what was contemplated and desired by the City when
they put the seed money in and created the TIF District. After Burrell's presentation, any
discussion that it may engender, I would appreciate the opportunity to address
Constitution Drive and it's possible realignment and how we have agreed to deal with
that with your staff, and also with the four conditions that were contained in the staff's
evaluation, which I have passed out some revisions to those conditions. I will address
those then. I'll ask Burrell to come up at this point. Thank you.
Burrell Saunders: Good afternoon. I'm Burrell Saunders with CMSS Architectures. I'm
very excited to be here to talk to you about Cityview. It's been a long time working on
the Central Business District. The reason we started the whole process with the Central
Business District and the downtown area that we're creating was to see the residual
properties in the area start to develop in a different manner that served the City in a
different way. It offered a different lifestyle. This project here is a great example of a
project that has come forth because of the vision and the work that has been done in the
Town Center making it possible. One of the reasons this group came to us when they
started to talk about this property was the adjacency to the Town Center. A place where
they could utilize the services of an entertainment, business, social, cultural, and now
with the Art Center and total lifestyle place that we are evolving there. We were thrilled
when we saw them come to the Central Business District looking because we were
concerned that many of the properties are still being developed in a suburban style.
These gentlemen came to the table and said we really want to look beyond that and look
at the broader vision of the opportunity of creating a class "A" address here. It addressed
the lifestyles. If we can flip to some of the renderings, I can talk you through it. The
parcel is located on Bonney Road. It has an extension of Constitution that you can see
through Parcel "B" that's set in place so that Constitution can be extended. As originally
considered in the Master Plan really going back to the late 80's that the Planning
Commission actually adopted. What we have here shown and if you remember in the
early planning in the CBD, one of the goals was to take the Thalia Creek area, the natural
area and keep it natural and blend it in the more urban setting that was going to occur.
So, what you can see here surrounding this property, a large percentage of this, which all
of the buildings are above the flood plain areas where the Thalia Creek is, and this leaves
a wonderfully, beautiful forested area. Most of this is forested. It has a fair amount of
trees in it and marsh lands as a backdrop or a setting. When we bring the buildings in
tighter, what we don't have happening here that we typically would have are the types of
densities that we have we would usually have most of that land being parking lots. Now
what we have is a beautiful setting surrounding the buildings and the style of the
buildings are pulled in to a much tighter urban setting. People living in this area and the
idea on Parcel "A", which would be 202 residents living there is that they would be
served by a parking structure that you see in the center and parking underneath the
buildings. On the other side on Parcel "B", we're considering that to be a mixed use
property that would mix office, hospitality, retail, for sale units, and for rental units in a
total mixed use environment that would connect right back to the Central Business
District, just a short walk away. What we're experiencing right now and I'm certainly
experiencing this in my office, a lot of my employees that live in this area that literally
walk to work. They don't even have to get in their cars. So, if your talking about traffic,
if we can create a place where you can literally move in and out of the area without
having to always depend on your car, it's a great opportunity and a great lifestyle that
people are seeking today. Especially younger people and people that are empty nesters,
those are the two groups that are really looking. We are seeing a real change in the
demographics of people looking for these kinds of places. If we could flip it to the
renderings, you'll see some ideas of the types of buildings that could occur. This is a
series of urban scaled, real units on Parcel "A". This is a series of the types of buildings
that will occur much taller, more urbanian type of buildings that would sit up to the street
and have retail on the first floor, and rise up. They called it Cityview you can start to see
this is looking Bonney Road with Constitution cutting through running right to left. A
series of buildings that would vary in height from 3 to 4 stores up to 15 stories, allowing
you to have a view back of the City Center that is being built with the natural setting in
front of you. What a great opportunity to do upscale development and to move forward
with the further advancement of the whole total vision for the Central Business District. I
will answer any questions.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Saunders. Thank you for spending the day with us.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in support is Andrew Heatwole.
Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Heatwole is not going to speak. Thank you Madame Chair. What I
wanted to address were the issues of Constitution Drive. As much as I would like to
believe, and I like to hope and think that it hasn't been very long, the fact of the matter is
that Constitution Drive Extended and the flyover concept for I-264 has been discussed
and on the table since I was high school. It's still being discussed. We are and have
designed this project to extend Constitution Drive and connect it from its current
terminus north of us down to Bonney Road. We have proposed in accordance with the
Master Transportation Plan to dedicate it and to build that section that extends north from
Bonney Road to Thalia Creek on the high land, there would need to be a bridge built that
we could not afford within the economics to actually build that bridge. We have
proposed to build and will build a pedestrian bridge in addition to the vehicular bridge
which would go in immediately so we would create that pedestrian shed. That ability for
people to go on bike, foot or roller blade or by any other means that's not motorized to
get from this development to Town Center and vice versa. With the City's looking at
potential realignment of Constitution Drive, we have agreed to revise our proffers to
withhold the submittal of any site plan for any of the development on this property until
April 1, 2005 when we have been advised that we will receive either the go ahead to
leave it as be or will be given a notice that the road is being realigned. Bonney Road
could possibly be realigned. If that is done then we have agreed that we will revise our
plans accordingly. However at that point, we would not be in a position to commit
because we have no way of knowing to the ability economically to build the road as
realigned. It may completely obliterate part of the development and it may not work.
But because we must, under our contract proceed to close, and cannot get any more
extensions, we need the zoning in place to get our financing to go forward with this
project. We are willing to take the risk. We're perfectly comfortable that we will be able
to work things out with regard to the City and protecting the City in terms of today's
value for any right-of-way that needs to be required in the event that we do have to
realign the road. It makes it not feasible for us to dedicate and certainly to build, but we
will dedicate and build based on the current alignment because it fits well within our plan
as well as what's on the ground out there. So, that's the big issue that I'm confident that
we have addressed and are on the same page with the City staff on in terms with the
revisions to the proffered agreement. I see that my time has run out. The other thing that
I wanted to mention was the four conditions that I passed out revisions to those
conditions if this is something that this body desires to move forward with. We certainly
hope, and really do need to have this move forward. The first condition that is
recommended by staff is certainly acceptable. In fact, Brian Goodloe, our Traffic
Engineer is here. The traffic study is basically complete. We will be submitting that to
the City more likely on Friday. So that is perfectly fine. Condition #3 is also okay. I
think it merely restates what the law would require anyway and the site plan issues with
turn lanes. We don't have a problem with condition #3. We would request that
Condition #2 be deleted. We would not be looking at setting our buildings 30 feet back
from Bonney Road. We again, appreciate and are in agreement with protecting the right-
of-way the City needs on Bonney Road, whether shifted or stays the same at today's fair
market value as opposed to an increase value, which would to some degree, although it's
very valuable today with its own 0-2 Zoning, we think it is much more valuable with this
zoning. That we will deal with again, through the proffers and through the site agreement
dealing with value to protect the City's need if necessary to acquire right-of-way at a
value of today's value versus additional dollars with zoning. Lastly, Condition #4, we
would propose that be reworded. Again, to some degree this may be premature and not
make any difference depending on the actual alignment of Constitution Drive. If it should
change but what it is indicating is if Constitution Drive is not realigned and stays where it
is, then we would be obtaining approval with this zoning of our development plan for
Phase "A". We are willing to limit, although we can't limit it to one, we limit to one full
in and out entrance but we have to have one exit only because of the traffic circulation
with our parking garage. Apparently Traffic Engineering had indicated that they prefer to
see it have only one entrance. We can agree to it, exit only and one entrance. That is
what number four deals with. If the alignment of Constitution changes it crosses Parcel
"A", it will be redesigned. Parcel "A determines what goes where on Parcel "A". As I
hope the Commission will do, you will recognize the clear benefit of this proposal. One
that is truly in keeping what everyone had hope would happen and is happening around
Town Center and because the investment that has been made because the reliance that we
had on what's on the books and because of absolute need to move this process forward to
get the zoning so we can get our appraisals and get our closing in accordance with our
contract. We need to move forward. Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Would you please answer Mr. Miller's question?
Eddie Bourdon: I'll be happy to.
Robert Miller: I don't have a question. Sorry Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: That's quite alright.
Robert Miller: Mr. Scott is this in agreement with what we talked about this morning?
The application, as Eddie has outlined is pretty close to what you talking about this
morning?
Robert Scott: Completely. I indicated that we need the opportunity to complete the
study. We are doing it with strong encouragement of CBD Association, we being
VDOT. VDOT's consultant is scheduled to done with study in December. At that time,
they are expected to identify a series of alternatives for the routing of a flyover and also
to make a recommendation. I think we need a little bit of time to decide together what the
affected people in the CVD Association and the community as a whole, which one is
appropriate. All of them affect this property. I am in agreement that some relatively high
level of flexibility is in order as far as the relationship between the project and the road
network. We really don't know what the road network is going to be. We feel that in
principal we have worked out an arrangement where by they can do the things that they
need to do and that is close, get their appraisals and go through all those processes that
are important to them. We can go through the processes that are important to us. In other
words, I think we have a win -win here. So, we do have some work to do in the next short
number of days here to get it in order so that when it goes to City Council, it can be
hopefully improved and we will set out to do that work. While we don't have the details
settled, we have the principal settled.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Gene.
Eugene Crabtree: Can we go ahead and recommend approval for this application as it is?
Robert Scott: As long as you know what you're getting. You don't have answers to the
detailed questions.
Eugene Crabtree: But all parties can go ahead and proceed.
Robert Scott: They can go ahead and do that and when we get the details we can work it
out.
Eugene Crabtree: Can we make a motion? I'd make a motion to approve the application
with the revised conditions.
Dorothy Wood: Do I hear a second?
Robert Scott: I don't have any revised conditions. I think what you need to do is
approve what you have in front of you. Those need to be worked out in detail. Just
remember we need to have the expectation that it is going to be adjusted between now
and time it goes to City Council.
William Din: Was it my understanding that you had withdrawn the Conditional Use
Permit for the senior housing?
Eddie Bourdon: Yes sir. The Conditional Use Permit for senior housing is withdrawn.
As far as the four conditions of the Use Permit that I passed out, if it is easier, we can
work those out between now and City Council as well. Stephen and Mr. Scott both
provide them yesterday. They looked at them. I don't think they have any objection to
them but we're perfectly happy to work closely with staff on those additions. I don't
think anything in that part is really a significant impediment to this at all. It's the
agreement with regard to protecting the values on the property that City needs to acquire
right-of-way with the realigned road, which I think is the big issue.
Eugene Crabtree: I'd like to make a motion that we approve it. I don't know how to
word it. I'd make a motion to approve this application.
Dorothy Wood: A motion by Gene and seconded by Kathy Katsias.
Eddie Bourdon: Is that with no conditions? Is that the way?
Kathy Katsias: No.
Eddik; Bourdon: The four conditions as we submitted to them or with no conditions?
Robert Miller: They already had and you all are going to work together on those between
now and the City Council.
Eddie Bourdon: There isn't any disagreement, I don't believe with regard to what we
indicated in those conditions. We're 30 feet back from Bonney Road will not work. We
can't approval. Our whole appraisal is going to go down. I don't think that is what
anybody believes is necessary that we be 30 feet back from Bonney Road, which is
Condition #2. We also prefer that the condition not agree that we be limited to one
entrance from Bonney Road for Phase "A". We haven't had any dialogue that has given
us any belief that's a strong position. Again, the ultimate alignment of the road is going
to deal with that issue in all likelihood anyway. Those two conditions in number 2 and
number 4 as worded in the staff's recommendation, we cannot agree too. I don't think
that in a recent conversation is taking a total adverse position to that.
Dorothy Wood: Would you like a deferral for 30 days?
Robert Miller: No. Let's go back. I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying that
you wanted to work with the four conditions between now and Council.
Eddie Bourdon: If you want to take them out?
Robert Miller: Where do we go with this Bob?
Robert Scott: I don't see exactly why Eddie has got a problem with what we wrote. We
may have a little bit of problem with what he wrote.
Eddie Bourdon: I agree.
Robert Scott: I would prefer that if you're going to recommend approval that you
recommend approval with no conditions.
Eddie Bourdon: We're fine with that.
Robert Scott: With the understanding that we're going to be working in the next few
days to get the conditions worded the way they need to be worded to get the things done.
Eugene Crabtree: I'm fine with that. I'll change the motion so it's with no conditions.
Robert Miller: Are you ready to vote again?

time to recognize the effects of change that will be created by the Grantors'
proposed rezoning, certain reasonable conditions governing the use of the
Property for the protection of the community that are not generally applicable to
land similarly zoned are needed to resolve the situation to which the Grantors'

WHEREAS, the Grantors have voluntarily proffered, in writing, in
advance of and prior to the public hearing before the Grantee, as a part of the
proposed amendment to the Zoning Map with respect to the Property, 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
Zoning Map relative and applicable to the Property, which has a reasonable
relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantors, their successors, personal
representatives, assigns, grantees, and other successors in title or interest,
voluntarily and without any requirement by or exaction from the Grantee or its
governing body and without any element of compulsion or quid fro quo for
zoning, rezoning, site plan, building permit, or subdivision approval, hereby
make the following declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall
restrict and govern the physical development, operation, and use of the
Property and hereby covenant and agree that this declaration shall constitute
covenants running with the Property, which shall be binding upon the Property
and upon all parties and persons claiming under or through the Grantors, their
successors, personal representatives, assigns, grantees, and other successors
in interest or title:
1. When the Property is developed, subject to the provisions of
proffers numbered 4 and 5, it shall be developed substantially as shown on the
exhibits entitled "CityView Preliminary Concept Site Plan" and "CityView
Development Plan", each dated 4/1/04, prepared by CMSS Architects, P.C.,
which have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file
with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning (hereinafter referred to as
"Concept Plans").
2. When the residential, non-residential and/or mixed use buildings
depicted on the Concept Plans are developed, they will be in substantial
2
compliance with the Mixed Use Development Guidelines contained in the
Grantee's Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the exterior of the buildings shall
be substantially similar in architectural features, details and appearance to the
exhibits entitled, "Phase A - Elevations", "Phase B - Elevations", and "Aerial
Rendering" for "CityView Bonney Road", prepared by CMSS Architects, P.C.,
which have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file
with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning (hereinafter "CityView
Renderings") .
3. So long as Grantee does not tender a "Realignment Notice" as
described in Paragraph 5 below, Grantor agrees to dedicate the depicted
segment of Constitution Drive, which crosses "Phase B" of the Property,
consistent with the alignment currently specified in Grantee's Master
Transportation Plan. Grantor agrees to construct that portion of Constitution
Drive as specified above, which crosses "Phase B" of the Property and is above
the ten (10) foot contour line, substantially as shown on the exhibit entitled
"Road Section", CityView Bonney Road, prepared by CMSS Architects, P.C.,
which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with

Section") .
4. If requested by the Grantee, Grantor shall not submit and Grantee
shall be under no obligation to review a final site plan, for any portion of the
Property, prior to April 15, 2005.
5. In the event Grantee specifically notifies the Grantor, in writing,
prior to April 15, 2005, of its decision to adopt a modified alignment of that
segment of Constitution Drive which crosses the Property and/or its decision to
adopt a modified alignment of Bonney Road in a manner which relocates it
upon the Property ("Realignment Notice"), the Grantor will adjust and revise the
Concept Plan to (a) remove the alignment(s) now depicted and incorporate the
modified alignment(s) as specified in the Notice; and (b) relocate and modify the
building footprints consistent with the specifications contained in proffer
number 2 above. The Director of the Virginia Beach Department of Planning
shall determine whether Grantor's revised Concept Plan is consistent with
proffer number 2.
91
6. In the event Grantee provides Grantor with the "Realignment
Notice", Grantee's acquisition of those portions of the Constitution Drive and/or
Bonney Road right of way(s) located upon the Property shall be governed by a
"RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION AGREEMENT" dated November 30, 2004.
7. The buildings depicted on the Concept Plans may vary in the
number of stories they contain from the buildings depicted on the CityView
Renderings. The buildings within Phase A may range from 4 to 6 stories in
height. The buildings within Phase B may vary from 3 to 15 stories in height.
8. When Phase B as depicted on the Concept Plans is fully developed,
there will be a minimum of 45,000 square feet of building area devoted to non-
residential uses. The buildings within Phase B may contain 470 residential
units or such larger number as may be permitted under Section 902(b)(7) of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Parking will be provided in accordance with
the requirements of the B-4C Central Business Mixed Use District.
9. Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed
Site Plan and/or 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 the 0-2 and B-4C Districts and to the
requirements and regulations applicable thereto refer to the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, in force as of the date of approval of this Agreement by City Council,
which are by this reference incorporated herein.
The above conditions, having been proffered by the Grantors and allowed
and accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance, shall continue in full force and effect until a subsequent
amendment changes the zoning of the Property and specifically repeals such
conditions. Such conditions shall continue despite a subsequent amendment
to the Zoning Ordinance even if the subsequent amendment is part of a
comprehensive implementation of a new or substantially revised Zoning
Ordinance until specifically repealed. The conditions, however, may be
repealed, 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
4
by the record owner of the Property at the time of recordation of such
instrument, provided that said instrument is consented to by the Grantee in
writing as evidenced by a certified copy of an ordinance or a resolution adopted
by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing before the Grantee
which was advertised pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.2-2204 of the
Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. Said ordinance or resolution shall be
recorded along with said instrument as conclusive evidence of such consent,
and if not so recorded, said instrument shall be void.

(1) The Zoning Administrator of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia,
shall be vested with all necessary authority, on behalf of the governing body of
the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, to administer and enforce the foregoing
conditions and restrictions, including the authority (a) to order, in writing, that
any noncompliance with such conditions be remedied, and (b) to bring legal
action or suit to insure compliance with such conditions, including mandatory
or prohibitory injunction, abatement, damages, or other appropriate action,
suit, or proceeding;
(2) The failure to meet all conditions and restrictions 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 these provisions, the Grantors shall petition the governing body for
the review thereof prior to instituting proceedings in court; and
(4) The Zoning Map may show by an appropriate symbol on the map
the existence of conditions attaching to the zoning of the Property, and the
ordinances and the conditions may be made readily available and accessible for
public inspection in the office of the Zoning Administrator and in the Planning
Department, and they shall be recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Miracle Temple Worship Center, Inc. — Conditional Use Permit (church)
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Miracle Temple Worship Center, Inc. for a
Conditional Use Permit for a church on property located at 3900 Bonney Road
(GPIN 14872349760000). DISTRICT 5 — LYNNHAVEN
■ Considerations:
The applicant is requesting to occupy a portion of an existing strip shopping
center for a church. The space is also in use as a private school (permitted use)
Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM until 2:35 PM. The applicant proposes to
lease the 6,000 square feet of space for church use on Sundays from 9:30 AM
until 1:30 PM and on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 PM until 9:30 PM. 3,000
square feet shall be used for the sanctuary space. Attendance for the church is
not to exceed 170 people.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as part of Strategic Growth Area 5 --
North Rosemont Area and recognizes primarily suburban and commercial land
use patterns. The Plan recommends that redevelopment of the area should occur
over time, taking advantage of the close proximity to 1-264, transforming the
existing land use pattern into a mixed -use arrangement.
The addition of this church operation within an existing structure is expected to
have negligible impact on the surrounding uses and zoning. The use is
compatible with the surrounding uses in the shopping center. The hours of
operation do not conflict with the current tenants (private school). The proposed
church will not disrupt or adversely impact surrounding neighborhoods.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-2 to approve
the request with the following conditions:
Church gatherings shall be limited to Sundays between 8:00 AM and 2:00
PM and Tuesday evenings between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM.

Dorothy Wood: We will now proceed to the regular agenda portion of our meeting. I
want to remind everyone that we need to adhere to the rules and procedures that were
explained to you at the start of the meeting. Please be aware of what other speakers
before you have said. W e must insist that redundancy is limited. Please do not be
offended if I stop your presentation for being repetitive. I certainly do not want to limit
anyone's rights, however, we have to cover a lot of information and we must stick toward
procedures. Thank you. I'll ask Mr. Strange, our secretary to please call the first item.
Joseph Strange: Thank you Dot. The first item is Item #4, Miracle Temple Worship
Center, Inc. An Ordinance upon Application of Miracle Temple Worship Center, Inc. for
a Conditional Use Permit for a church on property located at 3900 Bonney Road with
four conditions.
Dorothy Wood: Is there anyone here representing the Miracle Temple Worship Center,
Inc.? Welcome.
Lawrence Samuel: Thank you. My name is Lawrence Samuel. I am the agent
representing Miracle Temple Worship Center. We are requesting a Use Permit to have a
church in this particular facility. We do believe that it is going to add to the community
there, as a church that will provide services for the families that are across from the
building. Basically, we are making sure that the hours don't conflict with the hours of the
residents that are already there. We are going to see to it that we work in conjunction
with those that are there. We do agree to abide by the conditions that were outlined by
the staff.
Dorothy Wood: Would you please answer questions from various members?
Lawrence Samuel: Yes.
Dorothy Wood: Does anyone have a question?
Eugene Crabtree: Yes. I understand that this is just a church and it doesn't involve the
school.
Lawrence Samuel: That is correct.
Item #4
Miracle Temple Worship Center, Inc.
Page 2
Eugene Crabtree: That is there already.
Lawrence Samuel: That is correct.
Eugene Crabtree: But, the church and the school is physically using the same facility.
Basically, the parking lot there, you want space for 170 people. That parking lot is not
going to hold that many cars. Sunday, when you have your services the bar that is right
down the road, the sports bar is going to be open before your church services are over.
Your church services are going to be going on when that bar is open. And caddie corner
across the street is a go-go bar. Personally, I don't think that this is a good fit. I also do
not think that it is a good fit for the children and the school to be there not to have any
play area but nothing but a parking lot to walk around in for fresh air. And, I have some
misgivings about the location of it and the fact between the church, the school, the sports
bar, and a go-go bar across the street all in the same proximately of each other. And, I've
been told by some of the store owners in that area that some mornings they have quite a
bit of debris to pick up on the establishments that are run at night and it is certainly not
appropriate for church or children, so I have a miss feelings on that in general. Is this the
only location you have found that you can have your church and your school?
Lawrence Samuel: At this point, yes sir.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: I just want to go on record to say I just don't think it fits even though
the school is by right.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Mr. Miller.
Robert Miller: Is Mr. Summs up here to say anything?
Fred Summs: My name is Fred Summs, managing partner of the center known as Grand
Junction. The church is subleasing within these premises from Victory Center. They do
provide for some children during the weekday. Not on weekends is my understanding.
The conflict that you feel with the sports bar, as all sports bars they have functions that
are related to sport events, which in most cases are Sunday afternoon. They are
anticipating to be finished before these events start. And the parking issue should not
become an issue overall. The children within the center, there is an area behind and to
the west end of the building for children activities. I'm not sure and it is my
understanding there have been some activities in front of the building but that is going to
be corrected.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. Are there any questions for Mr. Summs?
Eugene Crabtree: Yes.
Item #4

Dorothy Wood: Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: I'm looking at that and I have been down there walking the concrete.
The area to the west that you see up against the parking lot is a driveway for people who
have a window business. They supply the windows there. They are window
construction. Their construction trucks cut through there all the time. The parking lot
out front is nothing more than a parking lot. The area out back is blocked off by the
building and also by those railroad cars. The only space where there is any grass is
between those railroad cars and the railroad. I have physically watched the children walk
around the parking lot there. They just walk around it. They don't have any place to
play. There is absolutely no area for children to play in that area.
Fred Summs: Other than your statement right now, we haven't received any other
complaints from anybody or the other businesses at this time but we will take this as a
serious statement and address it.
Eugene Crabtree: Let me address one other statement. One of the owners told me that
when he comes to open up his business in the morning he has to police the parking lot.
He doesn't have to but he does it on his own. The items that he picks up from that
parking is not conducive for children to be in the area or see whatsoever because it is
leftover things that come out of the establishments in their nighttime operations.
Fred Summs: I acknowledge that we have some difficulties. I'm not aware of the
existing tenant in the restaurant that is causing that problem. I know that we have had
some in the past and we taken the steps and removed that tenant.
Eugene Crabtree: I know. It has improved.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Summs. I appreciate it.
Fred Summs: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions for Mr. Summs? Jan.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Mr. Summs, you're the manager of that complex. Do you
have any problems with the hours that he is proposing?
Fred Summs: No.
Janice Anderson: With regard to parking. You know that the other tenants and their type
of business?
Fred Summs: Yes.
Janice Anderson: You don't have any problem with the times that he is has chosen?
Item #4
Miracle Temple Worship Center, Inc.
Page 4
Fred Summs: Not at all. The businesses that will be opening up are right around the time
they will be maybe breaking up. They could benefit from the additional people coming
out of the center and maybe shopping within some of the other businesses such as
Elephant School or the antique center. And, the model train store.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Thank you both for coming.
Fred Summs: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: I'm sorry. Mr. Ripley has a question. Who is it for?
Ronald Ripley: Either one. The school and the church is there any common ownership
between the two entities? Are you subleasing from another entity?
Lawrence Samuel: We're subleasing from the school.
Ronald Ripley: You're subleasing from the school. What's the name of the school?
Fred Summs: It's Victory Innovation Christian Academy.
Ronald Ripley: Is that a corporation or something?
Lawrence Samuel: I believe it is incorporated.
Ronald Ripley: And you're a church leasing.
Lawrence Samuel: Yes.
Dorothy Wood: Do I hear a motion?
Eugene Crabtree: I would vote to deny the application.
Dorothy Wood: Do I have a second on that?
John Waller: I'll second it.
Dorothy Wood: To deny it. I guess we'll vote on that motion.
Ronald Ripley: Can we have discussion?
Dorothy Wood: Okay. We certainly can.
Ronald Ripley: I'm very appreciative what Gene has said and I feel for what he does.
Item #4
Miracle Temple Worship Center, Inc.
Page 5
However, in this instance the church is I don't believe is the problem as Gene is
concerned about as he is with the school. I can appreciate the concern of a school being
at this location with the limited outside areas that the children can play. All children have
to get exercise. And, they need to be in a same situation. The school is a by -right use.
So, we really have a technical issue here in my mind. We have a by -right use there that
you may not agree with and I'm not too crazy about it but it's there and it's by right.
They have every right to be there because of that. The second is the conditional use of
the church is going to use it on a very limited basis it looks like. There are a number of
churches in these type of settings all throughout the City and so I'm incline to approve
the application even though there is a mixture here of uses. I would be inclined to
approve in favor of the application because of that. Not that I don't disagree with what
you said because I understand what you said.
Eugene Crabtree: Just one clarification was that if he was leasing the property from the
property owner direct and not from the school but by leasing it from the school which I
don't think should be there and that is why I would deny the application.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is there any other discussion before we vote on this? Mr. .
Strange and then Ms. Anderson.
Joseph Strange: I'm only going to echo what Ron has said. If the application was
entirely opposite, if there was a church there and there was a school applying for it, I
would be voting against the application because of the same grievance the Gene had said
but that is not what were voting on here. We're voting on a situation where this is a
church and this is Sunday and they're having church service there. I don't have a
problem with that.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: I'm just going to support both those statements that have been made. I
don't believe a church and its use is going to interfere with the existing building and they
have stated there won't be any conflict with the other businesses that are located there.
With regard to a church, I really don't have any problem with the church being located
near a bar because maybe they'll go to the church and not the bar. So, I don't think that's
a bad place to put a church is where a bar is. That is okay with me.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. We have a motion on the floor to deny. Let's vote on that
please.
Robert Miller: I'd like to make a substitute motion that we approve the application.
Dorothy Wood: Do we have to vote on the first one first?
Bill Macali: No ma'am. You really have to vote on the substitute motion if it gets a
second.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Newtown Square Associates, L.L.C. — Conditional Use Permit (mini -
warehouses)
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Newtown Square Associates, L.L.C. for a
Conditional Use Permit for mini -warehouses on property located at 544 Newtown
Road (GPIN 14683033400000 — part of). DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE
■ Considerations:
The applicant wishes to convert a portion of an existing, stressed shopping
center into a fully enclosed, three (3) story mini -warehouse facility, in two (2)
phases. The current building is a two (2) story building; so, the applicant will be
adding an additional floor for solely the Phase 1 portion of the project.
This proposal will occupy a large portion of the shopping center (formerly
occupied by a grocery store) that has been "void of life" for quite some time. The
conditions recommended below will ensure that this redevelopment project will
be constructed in an acceptable manner and provide a higher level of
predictability in terms of both the proposed aesthetics and the proposed use than
a "by right" proposal would not require. The applicant's architect has diligently
worked with Staff to create new facades that will be an improvement aesthetically
for the apartment dwellers to the east, as they are currently viewing the
unattractive rear of a shopping center, as well as appealing facades for those
traveling along both Baker and Newtown Roads. There is an existing, dense
landscape buffer that will remain intact that will continue to aid in screening this
property. The applicant is taking advantage of the existing loading dock and
providing covered entries for both customer loading and office business. The
proposal accomplishes the following: creates landscape islands within a parking
lot currently without any interior parking lot landscaping, provides streetscape
landscaping along Baker Road, establishes foundation landscaping along the
northern fagade above and beyond the minimum requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance, and enhances and upgrades the aesthetics of a deteriorating
shopping center.
The Comprehensive Plan's policies for the Primary Residential Area in this
portion of the Bayside Planning Area generally support this request as
nonresidential uses are permitted provided that commercial uses are in harmony
Newtown Square Associates, L.L.C.
Page 2of3
with the concept of providing an attractive, safe, and well -maintained physical
environment and are supportive of the surrounding residents. The Plan
recognizes that limited commercial may be considered acceptable uses on the
edge of established neighborhoods provided effective measures are taken to
ensure compatibility. This proposal is also consistent with the recommendations
of the Comprehensive Plan regarding redevelopment of distressed commercial
properties.
Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because it
provides an effective redevelopment of an existing structure, Staff recommended
approval, and there was no opposition.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
The property shall be redeveloped, in terms of both site layout and
landscaping, as depicted on the conceptual plan entitled, "Newtown Square
Associates Self Storage," prepared by M & M Architects, dated September 1,
2004, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on
file in the Virginia Beach Planning Department.
2. When the proposed buildings are constructed, they shall be in substantial
conformance with the elevations entitled, "Newtown Square Associates Self
Storage Elevations 1,2, & 3," prepared by Martin & Martin Architects, dated
November 16, 2004, which have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City
Council and is on file in the Virginia Beach Planning Department.
3. All exterior lighting shall be low intensity and residential in character.
According to Section 237 of the City Zoning Ordinance, all outdoor lights shall
be shielded to direct light and glare onto the mini -warehouse premises; said
lighting and glare shall be deflected, shaded, and focused away from all
adjoining property. Any outdoor lighting fixtures shall not be erected any
higher than 14 feet.
4. There shall be no electric or diesel power generator or generator fueled by
any other source of energy located outside of any building.
5. The storage units shall be used only for storage of goods. The units shall not
be used for office purposes, band rehearsals, residential dwellings, or any
other purpose not consistent with the storage of goods.
6. There shall be no exterior (outside) storage of any kind on the property,
including, but not limited to, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, boats, rental
trucks and vehicles of any type.

Major Issues
The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staffs evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
• Compatibility with surrounding land uses.
• Proposed architectural design and overall improvements to the shopping center.
• Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
x � c �riliii
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this parcel as being within the Primary Residential
Area. The Plan's land use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential
Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value
and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area. In a general
sense, this means that the established type, size, and relationship of land use, both
residential and non-residential, in and around these neighborhoods should serve as a
guide when considering future development. The City's Comprehensive Plan states
that the objective of the Primary Residential Area is to protect the predominantly
suburban character that is defined, in large measure, by the stable neighborhoods of
the Primary Residential Area. The Plan also reinforces the suburban characteristics of
commercial centers and other non-residential areas that make up part of the Primary
Residential Area. The Plan states on page 91 that, "Limited commercial or industrial
activities providing desired goods or services to residential neighborhoods may be
considered acceptable uses on the edge of established neighborhoods provided
effective measures are taken to ensure compatibility and non-proliferation of such
activities."

Staff Evaluation
Staff recommends approval of this request.
Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials,
adequately addresses each of the `Major Issues' identified above. The proposal's
strengths in addressing the `Major Issues' are
(1) Throughout the City, similar self -storage facilities have been approved on
properties adjacent to medium to high density apartment districts, provided that
specific safeguards were in place. The architectural upgrades proposed with this
project will update the shopping center and improve the aesthetics for the
residents of the apartment complex to the east. Currently, these residents are
adjacent to the rear of an unattractive structure (the shopping center). As this
use is a low traffic generator, it could be viewed as even more desirable adjacent
to the townhouses than a busy retail operation.
(2) This proposal will occupy a large portion of the shopping center (formerly
occupied by a grocery store) that has been "void of life" for quite some time. The
conditions recommended below will ensure that this redevelopment project will
be constructed in an acceptable manner and provide a level of predictability in
terms of both the proposed aesthetics and the proposed use that a "by right"
proposal would not require. The applicant's architect has worked diligently with
Staff to create new facades that will be an improvement aesthetically for the
apartment dwellers to the east, as they are currently viewing the unattractive rear
of a shopping center, as well as appealing facades for those traveling along both
Baker and Newtown Roads. There is an existing, dense landscape buffer that
will remain intact that will continue to aid in screening this property. The
applicant is taking advantage of the existing loading dock and providing covered
entries for both customer loading and office business. The proposal
accomplishes the following: creates landscape islands within a parking lot
currently without any interior parking lot landscaping, provides streetscape
landscaping along Baker Road, establishes foundation landscaping along the
northern facade above and beyond the minimum requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance, and enhances and upgrades the aesthetics of a deteriorating
shopping center.
(3) The Comprehensive Plan's policies for the Primary Residential Area in this
portion of the Bayside Planning Area generally support this request as
NEWTOWN SQUARE ASSOCIATES

nonresidential uses are permitted provided that commercial uses are in harmony
with the concept of providing an attractive, safe, and well -maintained physical
environment and are supportive of the surrounding residents. The Plan
recognizes that limited commercial may be considered acceptable uses on the
edge of established neighborhoods provided effective measures are taken to
ensure compatibility.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions below.
Conditions
The property shall be redeveloped, in terms of both site layout and landscaping,
as depicted on the conceptual plan entitled, "Newtown Square Associates Self

CONSENT
William Din: The next item is Item #18, Newtown Square Associates, L.L.C. This is an
application for a Conditional Use Permit for mini -warehouses on property located at 544
Newtown Road in the Kempsville District. There are 6 conditions.
Paul Martin: Good Afternoon Madame Chairman, Mr. Din and other members of the
Commission. My name is Paul Martin. I represent Martin & Martin Architecture and I'm
the representative for Newtown Square Associates. It is also represented in the audience
by Mr. Val Hoffinan. We have read and accept the conditions for our application.
William Din: Thank you Mr. Martin. Is there any opposition to placing this on consent?
Thank you. If not, Mr. Ripley, will you please discuss this issue?
Ronald Ripley: Well this is in the same area as the application I just spoke about. It's a
shopping center that was originally anchored with a Food Lion. The Food Lion moved
and this store has been vacant for quite some time. They had a number of vacancy issues
for this particular center. The adapted use that is being proposed is a very good use of
this property by converting the store and changing the entrance to a mini storage, if you
will, a warehouse facility that basically redirects the total flow of traffic generally to the
rear of the property now. So what the applicant is doing is making major improvements
in the rear of the shopping center. One of the things that we asked you to do and they
agreed to it and we're very appreciative of that and that is continue to paint out the
balance of the rear of the shopping center so there is a better transition between the
shopping center and the neighborhood located to the rear of the property. Once again, I
think the applicant should be commended for bringing this type of use and changing the
property from this particular use and it is going to make an improvement to the
neighborhood. We're recommending approval.
William Din: Thank you Ron. I would like to make a motion to approve the following
consent item, Item 918 Newtown Square Associates, L.L.C. This is a Conditional Use
Permit for mini -warehouses on property located at 544 Newtown Road and it has got six
conditions associated with this item.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Din. Do I hear a second?

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Audrey and Ronald Bellan — Conditional Use Permit (boarding of horses)
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Audrey and Ronald Bellan for a Conditional
Use Permit for boarding of horses on property located at 3728 Bridle Path Lane
(GPIN 14839219960000). DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE
■ Considerations:
The applicant proposes to have horse boarding on the site in an existing fourteen
(14) stall stable. The stables will be open seven days a week for the boarders.
There will be no more than fourteen horses boarding. The applicant and her
husband will manage the facility. The site is already configured for horses, as this
lot is part of a residential subdivision specifically developed for the keeping and
riding of horses.
Section 241 of the City Zoning Ordinance, which provides the `specific standards'
for this type of use permit, restricts the use to no "more than three (3) riding
animals for each acre of land within the site." The area of the site available to the
horses, exclusive of the area for the residential dwelling, the barn, and the pond,
is 5 acres. The limitation on the number of horses for this site, therefore, is 15.
The applicant is requesting 14.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as part of the Rural Area and
recommends land uses that are compatible with agriculture and the rural
community as being appropriate. Land use planning policies and principles for
the Rural Area focus on preserving agriculture. This use permit request,
therefore, is in keeping with the goals of the Plan.

Summary Of �roposa 1
The applicant proposes to have horse boarding on the site in an existing fourteen (14)
stall stable. The stables will be open seven days a week for the boarders. There will be
no more than fourteen horses boarding. The applicant and her husband will manage the
horse boarding. The site is already configured for horses, as this lot is part of a
residential subdivision specifically developed for the keeping and riding of horses.
Section 241 of the City Zoning Ordinance, which provides the `specific standards' for
this type of use permit, restricts the use to no "more than three (3) riding animals for
each acre of land within the site." The area of the site available to the horses, exclusive
of the area for the residential dwelling, the barn, and the pond, is 5 acres. The limitation
on the number of horses for this site, therefore, is 15. The applicant is requesting 14.

December 8, 2004
CONSENT
William Din: The next item is Item #3. This is an application of Audrey and Ronald
Bellan for a Conditional Use Permit for boarding horses on property located at 3728
Bridle Path Lane in the Princess Anne District. There are two conditions associated with
this item.
Ronald Bellan: Ron Bellan. That is my wife Audrey Bellan. We've read the conditions
and agree with the conditions.
William Din: Thank you. Is there any opposition to placing this on consent? There are
none. I'll ask Barry Knight to talk about this item.
Barry Knight: The applicant proposes to have horse boarding on the site for an existing
14 stalls stable. The stables will be open 7 days a week for boarders. There will be no
more than 14 horses boarded. The applicant and her husband will manage the horse
boarding. It is already suitable for horses. It is in a subdivision specifically set up for
horses. We think it is a nice mix between the rural areas. It's kind of right beside the
Transition Area. Therefore, it's a good use for this land. We put you all on the consent
agenda.
William Din: Thank you. Thanks for coming down.
Ronald Bellan: Thank you.
William Din: I would like to make a motion to approve the following consent item, Item
#3 Audrey and Ronald Bellan. This is an application for a Conditional Use Permit for
boarding of horses. This is on property located at 3728 Bridle Path Lane in the Princess

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Mary Spady — Change of Zoning District Classification
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Mary Spady for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from R-10 Residential District to Conditional 0-1 Office District on
property located at 844 Kempsville Road (GPIN 14666453560000). The
Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being part of the Primary Residential
Area, suitable for appropriately located suburban residential and non-residential
uses consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. DISTRICT 2 —
KEMPSVILLE This item was deferred November 23, 2004.
■ Considerations:
The applicant proposes to rezone the site from R-10 Residential to Conditional
0-1 Office and convert the single-family dwelling into a real estate office. The
applicant is proffering a site plan that depicts the existing building, six parking
spaces and landscaping. A single entrance to the site from Lobaugh Drive is also
shown. Hours of operation, site lighting and signage are also proffered.
The request is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for
the area. It is Staff's conclusion that good architectural and site designs are not
acceptable substitutes for good land use planning. The focus must be on
applying sound land use planning practices first, and then addressing design
considerations. Essentially this is the same request that was denied by the City
Council in both 1992 and 1993. As evidenced by the zoning history map in the
attached staff report, nothing has changed in the immediate area since those
denials. The area, particularly on the east side of Kempsville Road, is a stable
residential neighborhood with compatible public uses. Circumstances have not
substantially changed since the past denials of this application.
The proposed use is not compatible with the stable residential area adjacent to
the site. The activity and overall character of the proposed use will contribute to
strip non-residential development and will encourage future rezonings introducing
additional incompatible uses in this established neighborhood.
There was opposition to the request.

Baer Issues
The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staffs evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for the area.
Compatibility with the surrounding land uses.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site to be within the Primary Residential Area.
For properties within Primary Residential Areas, the Plan emphasizes the need to
preserve and protect the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the
stable neighborhoods, particularly through the avoidance of introducing incompatible
uses. Established residential neighborhoods shall be protected against invasive land
uses that, due to their activity, intensity, size, hours of operation or other factors, would
tend to destabilize them.
Proffers
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning
Agreement (CZA). The applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning
Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to "offset identified
problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable," (§107(h)(1)). Should
this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve
as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.
MARY SPADY
Agenda Item #-3

PROFFER # 1 Prior to converting the use to a professional office, the
Property shall be improved substantially as shown on the
exhibit entitled "CONCEPT SITE LAYOUT & LANDSCAPE
PLAN OF MARY SPADY REALTY 844 Kempsville Rd.,
Virginia Beach, Virginia", dated June 30, 2004, which has

(hereinafter "Concept Plan").
PROFFER # 2 Grantor shall install and maintain trees, landscaping and
fencing on the Property substantially as shown on the
Concept Plan.
PROFFER # 3 The uses permitted on the Property shall be limited to
professional offices, including but not limited to real estate,
insurance, legal, engineering, medical, dental, architectural
and accounting.
PROFFER # 4 Grantor shall utilize the existing structure. Any exterior
building renovations shall be of the same or higher quality
building materials as the materials used on the existing
structure. In the event of involuntary destruction of the
existing structure, any reconstruction thereof shall
substantially conform to the Concept Plan and appearance
of the structure as it existed immediately prior to such an
involuntary destruction.
PROFFER # 5 The freestanding monument style sign depicted on the
Concept Plan shall have a brick base matching the
existing building, shall be no greater than six feet (6) in
height and shall be internally illuminated.
PROFFER # 6 Any lighting installed within the driveway or parking area
on the Property shall be "ground level lighting" and shall
not exceed a height of thirty-six inches (36"). The lighting
shall be shielded, deflected, shaded and focused to direct
light down onto the premises and away from adjoining
property.
PROFFER # 7 No commercial trash containers shall be utilized on the
Property and only non-metallic trash containers, similar to
those provided by the City of Virginia Beach for residential
neighborhoods, shall be used on the Property. All such
MARY SPADY
Agenda Item # 3
Page 4
trash containers shall be stored immediately adjacent to
the office building.
PROFFER # 8 The business operation on the Property shall not be open
to the general public beyond 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday
through Saturday and Noon to 6:00 PM on Sunday.
Nothing contained herein shall preclude the owners or
employees thereof from working within the building beyond
these prescribed time periods.
PROFFER # 9 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.
Staff Evaluation of The proffers are adequate. The agreement will insure that
Proffers: the use of the site is limited to low intensity office uses,
that the hours of operation are defined, and that the
general appearance of the site remains residential in
nature.
City Attorney's The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the proffer
Office: agreement dated June 30, 2004, and found it to be legally
sufficient and in acceptable legal form.
Staff Evaluation
Staff recommends denial of this request.
Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials
and the proffers, does not address each of the `Major Issues' identified above. The
proposal's weaknesses in addressing the `Major Issues' are
(1) The request is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for
the area. It is Staffs conclusion that good architectural and site designs are not
acceptable substitutes for good land use planning. The focus must be on
MARY SPADY
Agenda Item # 3

applying sound land use planning practices first, and then addressing design
considerations. Essentially this is the same request that was denied by the City
Council in both 1992 and 1993. As evidenced by the zoning history map, nothing
has changed in the immediate area since those denials. The area, particularly
on the east side of Kempsville Road, is a stable residential neighborhood with
compatible public uses. Circumstances have not substantially changed since the
past denials of this application.
(2) The proposed use is not compatible with the stable residential area adjacent to
the site. The activity and overall character of the proposed use would contribute
to stripnon-residential development and would encourage future rezonings
introducing additional incompatible uses in this established neighborhood.
Staff concludes these weaknesses cannot be adequately addressed through changes to
the proposal or through additional proffers, and, therefore, recommends denial of the
request.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the
administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans
submitted with this rezoning application may require
revision during detailed site plan review to meet all
applicable City Codes.

Dorothy Wood: We will now proceed to the regular agenda portion of our meeting. I
want to remind everyone that we need adhere to the rules and procedures that were
explained to you at the start of the meeting. Please be aware of what other speakers
before you have said and please do not be offended if I stop your presentation for being
repetitive. I certainly don't want to limit anyone's rights however we have a lot to cover
today and we must stick to our procedures. Thank you. I'll turn it over to Mr. Strange,
our Secretary. If the people in the back would like to spread out a little bit, you look like
your pretty crowded. We have plenty of room now.
Joseph Strange: Thank you Madame Chairperson. The first item on the agenda is Item
#3 Mary Spady. An Ordinance upon Application by Mary Spady for a Change of Zoning
District Classification from R-10 Residential District to Conditional 0-1 Office District
on property located at 844 Kempsville Road, District 2, Kempsville.
Eddie Bourdon: Good afternoon Madame Chair, Mr. Secretary and members of the
Commission. For the record, my name is Eddie Bourdon, I'm a Virginia Beach land use
attorney and it's my pleasure to come before you this afternoon representing this
application which is one that involves a request for a conditional rezoning to 0-1 Office
Use District with very strict proffers on a parcel of land containing 32,625 square feet
with 250 feet of road frontage on Kempsville Road. A major arterial highway just down
the street from its intersection with Providence Road between that and its intersection
with Princess Anne Road where we're about to build a very significant flyover. A road
that in the Master Transportation Plan that is slated to be a 150-foot highway. It is
already over 100 feet and it is already a four lane road. This piece of property is located
adjoined just across the street from and on the same side as the police station and library
and commercial parking lot for those public facilities, which is of the same nature as a
commercial parking lot. The property is also directly across from Kempsville Road from
the Fairfield Shopping Center, a very large commercial enterprise with a number of out
parcels including fast food restaurants. This piece of property has a house that built on
this property many, many decades ago, one that has been well maintained. The home
faces Kempsville Road. It is set back 30 feet from the property line and over back about
65 feet back from the actual pavement section of Kempsville Road. It is well back from
the roadway itself. The house faces Kempsville Road and has been well maintained. It
has been owned by the applicant for a number of years and as you all well know this
Item #3
Mary Spady
Page 2
property has been up for rezoning in the past. This is the first time that I've taken a crack
at it, so to speak. But the issue I think is fairly well understood. It is the only house
along here that faces Kempsville Road. It is a office zoning that we have requested and
I've passed out copies of Section 800 of the Zoning Ordinance and I'll briefly read you
what it says about 0-1 Zoning. The 0-1 Office District is intended primarily for office
and institutional uses. Obviously, you got an institutional use right next door, which is
the library and the police station. Within this district it is intended to provide an
environment appropriate to office or institutional character and compatible with
residential uses, which may adjoin, compatible with residential uses which may adjoin
and where public facilities are available to meet their needs. I believe that is exactly the
zoning category that fits the situation that you have before you with this piece of
property. Given its location, given the road that it fronts upon, given the structure that
exists upon the property and what is around it, I think it is very difficult for any
reasonable person to define Kempsville Road in this location as a residential street. It is
not a residential street. This application as proffered and I will review the proffers with
you. There are a total of 9 proffers, 8 of which are applicable and the 91h is a generic
proffer that deals with site plan review. The first is that prior to converting the use of this
property to a professional office the property shall be improved substantially as shown on
the exhibit entitled "Conceptual Site Layout and Landscape Plan" of Mary Spady Realty
at 844 Kempsville Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia dated June 30, 2004, which you have a
copy of. There is that plan. With this plan, the house that is there will not change. A
driveway will be added to the rear. Landscaping is already significant in place. Fencing
already in place. The parking will be added here behind a berm. The house itself is,
which will be converted into a real estate office is 80 feet from the nearest home here,
which is facing on Lobaugh Drive across from the entrance to the large parking lot that
serves the police station. The parking area here behind the berm again, heavy
landscaping, is approximately the edge of the parking space closest to this house on
Bellamy Manor Drive and is some 70 feet away from that home behind landscaping and
fencing. The second proffer indicates that the Grantor will install and maintain trees,
landscaping and fencing on the property as shown on the concept plan. The third proffer
and we're fencing the entire back property line that you see there landscaped. The third
proffer is the uses permitted on the property shall be limited to professional offices
including real estate, insurance, legal, engineering, medical, dental, architectural or
accounting. This will be a real estate office. The fourth proffer is the Grantor will utilize
the existing structure and any exterior renovations in the future shall be at the same or
higher quality building materials as the materials used with the existing structure of the
house. It looks like a house. It's residential in character. In the event of an involuntary
disruption, a fire or some other catastrophe of the existing structure, any reconstruction of
that building must conform both with the concept plan, in terms of its location and size
and its appearance. It must be as existed prior to the involuntary disruption i.e., house.
In other words, you won't be able to build a commercial style office building. To the
north of the police station in the next block, there is an office that is a commercial
appearing office that's zoned 0-2. There is also an 0-2 Office at the corner of
Providence and Kempsville, just to the south, again, a commercial looking structure.
This will not be in any point in time with these proffers ever anything other than what
Item #3
Mary Spady
Page 3
appears to be today. A home not a commercial appearing structure. This lady's business
is in the 0-2 property next to the police station and has been for decades. The fifth
proffer is a free- standing monument style sign depicted on the concept plan. It will have
a brick base to match the house. It will be no greater than six feet in height and will be
internally illuminated. The sixth proffer is that the lighting installed along the driveway
and the parking area will be ground level lighting no higher than 36 inches off the ground
and shielded to deflect any light towards Kempsville Road and not back towards the
landscaping and the fencing and the neighborhood. The seventh proffer is that no
commercial trash container shall be utilized on the property only non-metallic trash
containers similar to those used in residential neighborhoods in the City of Virginia
Beach may be used. The eighth proffer is the business operation on the property, which
is an office and that is all that it can be, as an office, shall not be opened to the general
public beyond 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. That is office hours are
9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, noon to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Nothing
contained here shall preclude the owner's or employees from working in the office
beyond those hours but no customers will be permitted. The real estate business to those
of you who are involved in it may know it has obviously become less office intensive
with all of the new technology that we're dealing so there is less time spent in the office
for these types of uses. These types of uses exist throughout the City of Virginia Beach
and very successfully throughout the City of Virginia Beach. In fact, a gentleman is here
today who I had the privilege of representing a number of years again a very similar
situation for a house across from the Fire Station #10 on Providence Road that was
converted to a business with a very tightly proffered application back in the beginning of
conditional zoning when people were not all that comfortable with what it does and what
it will do to protect the neighborhood behind it. It was approved. It has been successful.
It is now an architect's office. It has caused no problem whatsoever with the
neighborhood that abuts it to the rear. We've got situations on Pleasure House Road,
Bonney Road, Shore Drive, Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach Boulevard, and First
Colonial Road. I could go on and on of homes on roads at the time they were built were
not major arterial highways that have been converted to offices and successfully so. That
is clearly is proposed here. This application has been recommended for approval in the
past by the Planning Commission and by the Planning staff. The
Ed Weeden: Eddie, can you finish up?
Eddie Bourdon: I'm about done. In staff's conclusion that good architecture and site
design are not acceptable substitutes for good land use planning and in our opinion, we
have all of the above that single family residential development on 32,000 square feet
fronting Kempsville Road would not be, and is not good land use planning in this
location.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you all very much.

Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions for Mr. Bourdon?
William Din: Eddie?
Eddie Bourdon: I'll be happy to answer questions.
William Din: I mentioned in the informal meeting that there is a neighborhood
monument sign in the corner of Bellamy Manor Drive. Would that be retained in this
area?
Eddie Bourdon: Absolutely. Our intent and I believe it is in the public right-of-way.
Were it on the subject property we have no problem with it being maintained there. The
intent here is to keep this property to the greatest degree possible looking exactly like it
looks today with additional landscaping and just the provision of better access and a
parking area. That sign will not be disturbed in any way by this proposal. There is no
access proposed upon Bellamy Manor Drive whatsoever. The only access is on Lobaugh
where we already have access to the institutional use to the north that goes beyond us
further to the east beyond this property.
William Din: Can you describe a little better the landscaping in this parking lot area and
to the rest of the residential?
Eddie Bourdon: We are proposing here and there is some existing trees. We're also
proposing a solid hedgerow of and I'm not sure what we are using. I'm sure it's not Red
Tips. I assume it is Crepe Myrtles along the property line where we also have a fence.
Here were proposing a berm along with heavy shrubbery. There are some large trees that
will be maintained. They will not be coming down that are on the southern portion of the
site. This will all remain wooded with the berm being just small berm just to screen any
potential view whatsoever of vehicles that will be parked in the parking lot. Again, the
parking area is set back such that it is 70 feet from the nearest house. I've got the
statistics here. It will be 70 feet from the nearest house. It is 50 feet from the property
line and we will agree to do anything that anyone desires with regard to landscaping the
parking lot. We think we've done much as anyone can expect to do. It's a small six -
space parking lot just for that small office that will be in the house.
William Din: What happens to the driveway on Kempsville Road?
Eddie Bourdon: The driveway on Kempsville Road goes away. The only access will be
on here in the back on Lobaugh Drive, where I believe there is access today.
William Din: Are you physically removing the driveway in the front?
Eddie Bourdon: I don't believe there is one actually in the front. I don't believe there is
any access from Kempsville Road. There is no intention to maintain access on
Item #3

Kempsville Road. The only access will be Lobaugh in the back. The times I've been by
and I've been by a number of times and I didn't notice. There is no one utilizing it.
William Din: Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: There would be no access on Kempsville.
Dorothy Wood: Ron.
Ronald Ripley: Is the vacant lot has that always been vacant or was there a house on
there at one time? Do you know?
Eddie Bourdon: I do not know that Mr. Ripley. I presumed that at some time there may
have been a house on that property.
Ronald Ripley: Do you know if the applicant or previous owners have tried to sell that
for a residential use or do you know that?
Eddie Bourdon: I don't believe that the applicant has tried to sell any of the property for
residential use or try to sell it period.
Ronald Ripley: Has the applicant owned it a long time?
Eddie Bourdon: She has owned for, I believe a minimum of 12 years. She may have
owned it longer than that.
Dorothy Wood: Kathy.
Kathy Katsias: Is there any room in back to put the parking spaces behind the house
rather than on Kempsville Road?
Eddie Bourdon: We put the parking in the area where it is least potentially intrusive to
anyone. If we were to put the parking in this area it would be in closer proximately to the
side of this gentleman's house here. So just having the driveway coming in to the
parking here places it here. In terms of Kempsville Road you're talking about 60 feet
from the pavement, so we try to place it in a manner that would be least objectionable by
staying as far away as possible from the homes and being able to buffer them
significantly from the homes where as trying to place parking in here would be
problematic in terms. Now our pavement is 18 feet from our property line, which is back
here and to try to put parking here you have to put pavement closer to the shared property
line. We're trying to keep a significant buffer with landscaping and green space from the
residential. It is a transitional use given its location on this major arterial highway.
Dorothy Wood: Thank Eddie. Are there any other questions? Jan.
Item #3
Mary Spady
Page 6
Janice Anderson: Thank you. We received, as you know some petitions they don't
support the application. Have you had a chance to talk to the neighbors on this?
Eddie Bourdon: No. I did not attempt to contact the neighborhood because of the history
of this application. I've sat through these hearings and heard the previous applications
and they have been recommended for approval by Planning Commission and by staff.
From my understanding and from what I've heard it is very obvious that there is a great
deal of issues here that go beyond land use. I don't know if there is anything that I can
say to the folks involved that was going to change any of that. They know what the
proposal is. I believe what everyone clearly recognizes and I don't think there is any
going back that Kempsville Road is going to not only be what it is but it is even going to
be more of an arterial highway. The idea that there is a better use for this piece of
property and that use is residential use, I'm sorry but I think its just come to the point
where everyone has to recognize that to protect this community and putting a use like this
and maintaining the house the way it is the best protection, the best insulation for that
community. I don't know if the City wants to come in and do some parking over here for
an addition to their police station or their library but this is a very innocuous use. It's an
appropriate use for this property in this location given the circumstances. If the house
that was there were facing Lobaugh, it would be a little bit different situation. It is facing
Kempsville Road. It's the only out there that faces Kempsville Road, and to try to use it
residentially, I think we can all recognize it is not an appropriate use. Now, the City may
indicate at some point well we might want to buy some of the property to widen the road.
This house is in line with the parking lot in front of the police station and the library. If
they are going to widen the road that far, which again over 30 feet from the property line
to the pavement they are going to come in and take out their own parking in front of the
police station and the library. So, I believe the application at one point it was defeated by
one vote at City Council, and it was situation where I think the vote was taken in
October. I'm sorry April, wrong election and wrong month. So, I just believe that it is a
very appropriate use. A very well thought out, well proffered and given the
circumstances that we find and it is and I could go through.
Dorothy Wood: Eddie, would you answer Ron's question?
Ronald Ripley: Eddie, you mentioned the right-of-way and the reservation for potential
of widening of Kempsville Road future, what would be the distance between the right-of-
way reservation line and the front of the house? Do you know that distance?
Eddie Bourdon: I do not know that. What I can tell you is that again at 12 feet by a lane
of traffic within the area that the City already has which is about 35 feet there is ample
room to add yet another lane of traffic still would leave 23 feet before you hit the
property line and then from the property line to the house it would be about 30 or maybe
a little bit more than 30 feet. It is just over 30 feet. Again, I don't know what the
ultimate right-of-way is 150 feet and I think with what has already been provided for
here, I'm sure you got over a 100 feet of right-of-way today. When is that day going to
come? I don't know the answer to that.
Item #3
Mary Spady
Page 7
Ronald Ripley: I was trying to find out how close. If the City owned the entire right-of-
way what would be the distance from the new right-of-way line and the front of the
house?
Eddie Bourdon: I don't know where the new right-of-way line will be. I don't know
how the road will be aligned.
Dorothy Wood: Is there any other questions for Mr. Bourdon? Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: We have opposition. Mike Ash.
Mike Ash: My name is Mike Ash.
Dorothy Wood: Glad to have you with us Mr. Ash.
Mike Ash: Thank you. My name is Mike Ash and in the three minutes allotted to me I
would like to speak for the neighborhood. I had spoken to them before on these
occasions, and I live within three houses of the property on Bellamy Manor Drive. We
have as you referred to the petition that has been circulated in the neighborhood. I feel
the majority of the residents of Lobaugh and Bellamy Manor Drive are opposed to this
rezoning on the grounds of the precedent that it sets for furthering encroachment of
commercial property on to our residential neighborhood. It opens up I feel the property
there between Bellamy Manor and Providence Road fronting on to Kempsville Road, it
opens up the possibility of commercial development along Providence Road behind the
houses on Bellamy Manor Drive. So, we welcome the police station and the library in
our neighborhood, we feel that further non-residential encroachment on our
neighborhood is a detriment to our neighborhood. In answering the question the vacant
lot has never been built on. It has always been vacant since the Bellamy Manor area was
developed. I take issue with the fact that there are no other houses fronting Kempsville
Road. If you go to the north to the other side of Lock Lane there are a number of very
nice and desirable residences fronting Kempsville Road exactly the same road, and they
seem to change hands and seem to be very desirable and thy are all very well kept. So,
there are residential residences along Kempsville Road. I would like to draw your
attention to one of my concerns and that is the area down at Kemps River where there are
similar residential areas on Kempsville Road but also there are very some undesirable
commercial properties that I feel, income tax place and they are not very well kept. I
would hate to see that corner of Bellamy Manor Drive go the same way because of the
precedent that it sets for the future of our residential neighborhood. Here is the petition.
We have a number of the residents in the immediate neighborhood. Mr. George Poff
who is behind the property.
Dorothy Wood: Could you use the pointer and show us.
Item #3
Mary Spady
Page 8
Mike Ash: If I can.
Dorothy Wood: You just have to point sir.
Mike Ash: Just point? Mr. Poff is here. He has this residence. George Poff is there. I
live here and we have a number of neighbors in this block here.
Dorothy Wood: So you're all right there.
Mike Ash: If you want to raise your hands to let them know that were here.
Dorothy Wood: Welcome. We're glad to have you.
Mike Ash: Okay. Pretty much all of the residents of these two roads have signed the
petition. There are some people here who declined to sign it but they're not really part of
the neighborhood. I think they're looking for their commercial development in the
future.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Ash.
Mike Ash: Thank you very much for your time.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you all very much for coming. Are there any questions for Mr.
Ash? Thanks again. Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: The only thing that I would say and I think you all have to draw on your
own experience throughout the City and fortunately we all have a fair amount of that is
that this type of a use in this location, I don't believe it is and I can understand if I live in
the neighborhood I would want to make sure my neighborhood is going to stay residential
in character. I don't believe that this in any way sets a precedent that is going to cause
the homes here in this block to ever be anything other than what they are and that is
homes. The existing and you can see here the fire station and library with commercial
parking extend well beyond where we are talking about out here. We are across the street
from fast food restaurants, across the street from a major commercial shopping center in
this part of town. If we were talking about trying to rezone this property to a B-2 use or
even a B-1 or B-IA use, then I would be a little more accepting of the argument. Again,
certainly any one can make an argument when you have reasonable disagreement and
that is what I think we have here. But we are talking about a tightly proffered 0-1
zoning, a less intense zoning than the 0-2 that you see here, the 0-2 that is here that
happens not to be on the map as it has been cut. We have an 0-2 here and an 0-2 here.
This is the appropriate zoning for a situation like this, and I don't see how and I don't
believe anyone on this Commission can honestly sit here and say they believe with a
zoning that has been proffered here if it were to be approved that we are going to see
some proliferation of this type of zoning coming eastward along either of these two
residential streets upon which these residences front versus Kempsville Road where this

house that we propose to convert to an office fronts on Kempsville Road looking at a fast
food restaurant.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you all very much.
Dorothy Wood: Discussion? Mr. Knight.
Barry Knight: Yeah. I know this piece of property. I've known it as of two weeks ago
for about 50 years. I've lived south of Acredale for many, many years. I know the
residents who live at Bellamy Manor. In fact, I look at this petition and see some of these
residents have been there since I remembered them. I saw Mr. Falk walk in here today
and I haven't seen him in 30 some odd years but I recognize him. So, you haven't
change very much Mr. Falk. I understand what Mr. Bourdon is saying that if you go
along Kemspville Road and see where it's commercial. It's a main arterial and it is
basically commercial. I absolute agree with that but if you turn 90 degrees, Bellamy
Manor back in the early 60's when it was developed one of these things that Acredale and
Bellamy Manor, Kempsville Colony and Kempsville, across the street is one of the
strawberry fields. Everything changes. Now I understand that but Bellamy Manor is a
well maintained nice, established neighborhood and I believe part of what the problem is
if this is turned into a business on the front it would be least intrusive business that could
be there. Instead of getting the idea that you are going into a neighborhood, which is
Bellamy Manor, is now that you're going through the business district and the
neighborhood is now an after thought. So, I'm kind of torn between this. I think this
would be the least intrusive business that we could possibly put up there and fit with the
strip on Kempsville Road but I think it would possibly hurt the character of Bellamy
Manor so I'll kind of sit back and see what my Co -Commissioners have to say on this.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. Mr. Din.
William Din: Since I represent this area, I'm in this area all the time too. I don't live too
far from this area. I would hate to see a rezoning like this cause an imposition to this
neighborhood because I do think its causing a little more spread of the commercialization
of Kempsville Road. I sort of agree with Mr. Knight that is probably the least intrusive of
that type of change office where you would have a residential looking building but it does
intrude upon this neighborhood. I think you have to draw a line some place and as I see
this neighborhood it does disrupt the residential character of it starting at the very front of
it. I think it does cause the commercialization of Kempsville Road to continue further
down Kempsville Road, which probably eventually will. I don't disagree with that but I
don't think the neighborhood at this point should be disrupted. I think we do need to
draw a line and therefore I don't think a piece of commercialization of encroachment into
this neighborhood should proceed. So, I will not be supporting this application.
Item #3
Mary Spady
Page 10
Dorothy Wood: Since this is your area would you like to make that in a form of a motion
sir then we'll go on and hear the rest of the people.
William Din: Let's hear the rest first.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: Well, Kempsville Road is a major thoroughfare through this City
where we want to associate with Providence Road. I look at the progress on Kempsville
Road the same way as I look at it on Independence or look at on Holland Road. When I
first moved to this City that is where all the residential areas have not been built upon or
none of the neighborhoods have been encroached upon. It is inevitable that Kempsville
Road is going to become a thoroughfare and become an industrial business office
complex all the entire length of the road. This is the least intrusive for a business that can
go in there. I think it's inevitable. I think it does fit with what's on Kempsville Road. It
doesn't fit with what's in Bellamy Manor but it does fit with what's on Kempsville Road.
I'm going to support the application.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any other comments? Ms. Anderson. Mr.
Strange.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Just like Mr. Din said I believe the office use would be
probably an appropriate use but I don't believe residential is not appropriate. There are
residential still on Kempsville Road that are very attractive properties, and this
neighborhood especially is flourishing even with residential located on Kempsville Road.
I think with the change of zoning it might have an adverse affect on the existing
neighborhood so I have reservation with the change of zoning.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Mr. Waller.
John Waller: In looking at the code, the legislative intent is pretty clear to what it says,
compatible with residential uses, which may adjoin this property. And that is a perfect
example. I'm going to support the application.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Ms. Katsias.
Kathy Katsias: Well, I agree with my fellow Commissioner Mr. Waller. Kempsville
Road is a major arterial road. I think the applicant has addressed adequate buffers on
Kempsville Road as well as on the side and rear of the property. The proffers address the
limited use therefore, I think I'm going to support this application based on the evidence.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Strange.
Joseph Strange: Eddie, did you say that this piece of property has not been marketed as
residential at this point?
Item #3
Mary Spady
Page 11
Eddie Bourdon: Ms. Spady, since she has owned the property has not tried to market it
because she wants to use it for her office. That is what she has been trying to do for
decades.
Joseph Strange: Earlier I think you made a statement that it really wasn't residential and
it was. You may have been trying to market it that way.
Eddie Bourdon: All I can suggest to you is that if you put yourself in the shoes of
someone looking to buy a home are you going to buy a home fronting on Kempsville
Road or a home fronting on Rosemont Road, where you got traffic just stacked up in
front of your house going to the fast food restaurant across the street in the shopping
center. You can sell anything to anybody. The question is, is it an appropriate use of the
property. Is it something that we all can sit here and say, "oh sure, I'll buy a house and
live there" or "I'd buy that vacant lot and build another house on there" in a heartbeat. I
don't believe that would be something that we would be if we were coming in to develop
this property today, all of Bellamy Manor I don't think we would be approving a
rezoning to build houses that front on Kempsville Road as a part of that rezoning. We
would not be doing that and you do not do that every month when you see zonings for
residential neighborhoods. Therefore, dealing with the situation that we have presented
to us I think that's why we have a zoning ordinance that provides transitional uses like 0-
1 zoning and that is why I think it's an appropriate request with regard to this property.
Dorothy Wood: Is there any other questions?
Joseph Strange: I would like to say that in the past we have had zoned on a piece of
property but it didn't seem to develop that because no one was willing to use it for that
like for that B-1 property that we changed because no one wanted to develop a B-1
zoning. If in fact that this piece of property had tried to feed the market as a home no on
would buy it. I think that would lend a little more credence to putting an office there,
which I agree with everyone else. I've seen these types of situations next to a
neighborhood where it was appropriate. It didn't seem to be a problem. If you were
there you wouldn't want it there but after you there you really didn't hardly notice it. I
can see both sides of this but of the fact that it hasn't been conditionally marketed at a fair
market price and I'm not going to support it.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Horsley.
Donald Horsley: Really what concerns me is that the use doesn't really concern me as
much as the rezoning. I think that's the key to the whole thing. You got a rezoning of a
piece of property in a residential area. I know it is possible to do what Ms. Spady wants
to do whether it's a Conditional Use Permit or not Mr. Scott, I don't think so. So,
therefore it appears to me that the Community is pretty strong in its disagreement with
this use and it has been that way for many, many years. This appears to be a very
established community and I would hate to disrupt the community that has been a main
stay so long so I'm probably going to vote against it.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: The Runnymede Corporation — Change of Zoning District Classification
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of The Runnymede Corporation for a Change of
Zoning District Classification from R-7.5 Residential District to Conditional B-2
Community Business District on property located at 242, 246, 250 and 254
Clearfield Avenue (GPINS 14676518570000; 14676518400000;
14676519250000; 14676620410000). DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE
■ Considerations:
The existing homes on these four lots will be demolished to make way for an
expansion of the TRC Center, an adjoining 160,000 square foot business park
owned by Runnymede Corporation. The TRC Center has three, one-story "flex -
space" buildings. The applicant's proposal is to consolidate the existing lots,
resubdividing the site to create one new parcel for a new 15,000 square foot
office building similar to the buildings in the adjoining TRC Center. All access
and circulation will be coordinated with the existing TRC Center.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located between Strategic
Growth Area #3 (Newtown Area) and Strategic Growth Area #4(Pembroke Area).
Both of these Strategic Growth Areas recommend high quality office as a viable
and preferred land use. This particular site is located on what used to be a
primarily residential street. However, over the past ten years, the street has
clearly been in a transition to non-residential uses. The property on the west side
of Clearfield Avenue that was once residential is now part of the St. Gregory
Church and School. The few remaining residential properties on the east side of
the street, north of the proposed site, are proposed for a planned future
expansion for the large auto sales facility that surrounds them.
The proposed use is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and will
complement the land uses planned for Strategic Growth Areas #3 and #4. The
proposed use will be incorporated into the adjacent high quality office park and is
considered to be compatible with the surrounding institutional, office and
commercial uses.
The Runnymede Corporation

Plan, Staff recommended approval, and there was no opposition.

Major Issues
The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staff's evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
• Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
• Compatible with surrounding uses
{comprehensive Flan
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located between Strategic Growth
Area #3 (Newtown Area) and Strategic Growth Area #4(Pembroke Area). Both of these
Strategic Growth Areas recommend high quality office as a viable land use. This
particular site is located on what used to be a primarily residential street. However, over
the past ten years, the street has clearly been in a transition to non-residential uses.
The property on the west side of Clearfield Avenue that was once residential is now part
of the St. Gregory Church and School. The few remaining residential properties on the
east side of the street, north of the proposed site, are proposed for a planned future
expansion for the large auto sales facility that surrounds them.
Proffers
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning
Agreement (CZA). The applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning
RUNNYMEDE CORPORATION

problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable," (§107(h)(1)). Should
this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve
as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.
PROFFER # 1 The project shall be developed substantially as the

December 8, 2004
CONSENT
William Din: The next item is Item #15, The Runnymede Corporation. This is an
application by the Runnymede Corporation for a Change of Zoning District Classification
from R-7.5 Residential District to Conditional B-2 Community Business District on
property located at 242, 246, 250 & 254 Clearfield Avenue in the Kempsville District.
Michael Barrett: Good afternoon Madame Chairman and members of the Commission.
My name is Mike Barrett and I represent the applicant. We are in accord with the review
by the staff.
William Din: Thank you Mr. Barrett. Is there any opposition to placing this on consent?
If not, Mr. Crabtree will talk about this item.
Eugene Crabtree: The Runnymede Corporation already has a number of buildings in that
area in the office park. They want to put one new building in there that would comply
with the 1,500 square feet adjoining with what they already own. They have been
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. It's compatible with surrounding uses. It is
located between two strategic growth areas and it will fit very well in this since the
strategic growth area recommends that this particular area be used for office space and
this type of business. Runnymede has been a good neighbor to the surrounding
neighborhood. We think this is a good use for this particular property so we put it on
consent agenda.
William Din: Thank you Gene. I would like to make a motion to approve the following
consent item, Item #15 The Runnymede Corporation. This is a Change of Zoning
District Classification from R-7.5 Residential District to Conditional B-2 Community
Business District located in the Kempsville District. This is a proffered item.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Din. Do I hear a second?
Donald Horsley: Second.
Dorothy Wood: A motion by Mr. Din and seconded by Mr. Horsley. Yes, Mr. Miller.
Robert Miller: I need to abstain from Item 415. My firm is working on that project.

provisions, the Grantor shall petition the governing body for the review thereof prior to
instituting proceedings in court; and

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Bruce D. O'Leary — Change of Zoning District Classification
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Bruce D. O'Leary for a Change of Zoning
District Classification from R-10 Residential District to Conditional B-2
Community Business District on property located on the south side of Indian
River Road at its intersection with Gammon Road (GPINS 14563368030000;
14563369560000). DISTRICT 1 — CENTERVILLE
■ Considerations:
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject site to build a small family type
restaurant. The building will be approximately 1,800 square feet in size. The
design will be a one-story brick building in scale with the nearby single-family
residential. The restaurant will serve pizza and other Italian cuisine. The hours of
operation will be 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. No alcoholic beverages will be
served. The structure is designed to accommodate sixty people with a staff of 8
employees.
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as being within the Primary
Residential Area. The land use planning policies and principles for the Primary
Residential Area focus on preserving and protecting the overall character,
economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this
area. Page 91 of the Primary Residential Area chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan states "limited commercial or institutional activities providing desired goods
or services to residential neighborhoods may be considered acceptable uses on
the edge of established neighborhoods provided effective measures are taken to
ensure compatibility."
Evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials
and the proffers, is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendations for this area and is compatible with the adjacent residential
neighborhood as well as the business areas.
Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda, as there was no
opposition to the request, Staff recommended approval, and the use will provide
a service to the adjacent residential neighborhoods.

Bruce D. O'Leary
Change of Zoning District Classification
South side of Indian River Road
District 1
Centerville
December 8, 2004
CONSENT
Dorothy Wood: The next order of business will be the consideration of items that the
Commission has placed on consent agenda. Our Vice Chairperson Will Din will conduct
this portion of the meeting. Will?
William Din: Thank you Ms. Wood. Today, we have 13 items for inclusion on the
consent agenda. As I call each of the items up, would the representative or the applicant
please come up to the podium, please state your name, relationship to the application and
state if you've read the conditions and if you agree with those conditions. So the first one
on our agenda here today is Item #1, Bruce D. O'Leary. This is an application for Mr.
O'Leary for a Change in Zoning District Classification from R-10 Residential District to
Conditional B-2 Community Business District on property located on the south side of
Indian River Road at the intersection of Gammon Road in the Centerville District.
Bruce O'Leary: That's correct. My name is Bruce O'Leary. I'm the applicant. That's
my brother Mike.
William Din: This is a proffered condition. Is there any opposition to placing this item
on consent? Seeing none. I would like to ask Mr. Don Horsley to go over this item for
us please.
Donald Horsley: Okay. The applicant proposes to rezone an existing R-10 property
located a long a ditch and combine it with the adjacent B-2 properties and build a small
family type restaurant. It is approximately 1,800 square feet and it is going to be a one-
story brick building. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as being primarily
residential. However, in a primary residential section of the Comprehensive Plan, it
states that limited commercial and institutional activity may also occur in these areas to
provide many services. Being there is no opposition in the community and the renderings
we looked at, it looks like it is going to be a nice building. The staff has a favorable
recommendation, so therefore we thought it merited consent agenda status today.
William Din: Thank you Mr. O'Leary.
Bruce O'Leary: Thank you very much.
William Din: So, I would like to make a motion to approve the following consent item,
Item #1 Bruce D. O'Leary, an application for a Change of Zoning District Classification
Item # 1
Bruce D. O'Leary

from R-10 Residential District to Conditional B-2 Community Business District located
in the Centerville District and is proffered.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Din. Do I hear a second?
Donald Horsley: Second.
Dorothy Wood: A motion by Mr. Din and seconded by Mr. Horsley.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Atlantic Builders, L.L.C. — Change of Zoning District Classification
MEETING DATE: January 11, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Atlantic Builders, L.L.C. for Change of Zoning
District Classification from AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional 1-1
Industrial District on property located on the southern side of London Bridge
Road, approximately 500 feet east of its intersection with Shipps Corner Road
and London Bridge Road Extended (GPIN 14955540760000). DISTRICT 6 —
BEACH.
■ Considerations:
The proposal is a request for rezoning to Conditional 1-1 Industrial District to
allow construction of an office/warehouse complex on this 29.2 acre site. The
complex will consist of several linear, one-story buildings with individual
warehouse spaces of various sizes that will be leased to different customers.
Each warehouse space will have a small office area associated with it. The plan
shows two phases for the project. The first phase will be located on the northern
half of the site and will consist of seven buildings and associated parking/drive
aisles. The second phase, located on the southern half of the site, will mirror the
first phase.
There are two areas on the site that contain non -tidal wetlands under the
jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers. These two areas total 7.3 acres, a
little under one-third of the property. These areas are located in the northwest
and southeast corners of the site. The areas will be left undisturbed and will be
preserved with the proposed plan.
Roadways border the site on three sides. London Bridge Road borders the
northern edge of the site. London Bridge Road Extended borders the western
edge and Dam Neck Road borders the southern edge of the site. The wetland
preservation areas will provide excellent screening of the warehouse complex
along both London Bridge Road Extended and Dam Neck Road. These areas
are heavily wooded and these woods will remain. There is one area between the
two wetland areas where buildings are proposed that will be visible from London
Bridge Road Extended. In this area, the applicant has proffered to provide a 50-
foot landscape buffer to include existing trees. Along the northern edge, adjacent
Atlantic Builders, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 2
to London Bridge Road, a thirty-foot landscape buffer is proposed to include
existing trees.
In addition to the extensive wetland and tree preservation on the site, the
applicant has proposed to dress up the building facades facing London Bridge
Road and London Bridge Road Extended by using a variety of materials. All
interior buildings will be metal, similar to warehouse complexes within other
industrial areas of the City.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
proposed use is appropriate for the site, Staff recommended approval, and there
was no opposition. The Planning Commission requested that the applicant
provide a fence along the eastern property line adjacent to an agriculturally
zoned lot that is in active use and that does posses a dwelling. The applicant has
added Proffer 9, complying with that request:
When the Property is developed, a privacy fence six feet (6') in height
shall be installed between the rear of the easternmost building shown on
the Conceptual Plan, extending from the front yard setback along London
Bridge Road to the Phase Line shown on the Conceptual Plan.
The proffer was submitted prior to the legal deadline required for the January 11
City Council meeting.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request as proffered.

s
Major Issues
The following represent the significant issues identified by the staff concerning this
request. Staffs evaluation of the request is largely based on the degree to which these
issues are adequately addressed.
• The site is located within a Strategic Growth Area and the proposal should be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for that area.
• Roadways bound this site on three sides, so the aesthetic view from these
roadways is a concern.
ATLANTIC BUILDERS, LLC
Agenda Item # 22
Page 3
�y�N \
Comprehensive Ilan `5
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Strategic Growth Area 10 — South
Oceana Area. The South Oceana Area encompasses properties on both sides of Dam
Neck Road between Holland Road and Corporate Landing Parkway. Developable land
located in the western region of this Strategic Growth Area is planned for non-residential
uses to include a mix of light industrial, low-rise office and limited retail use. Access to
Dam Neck and Holland Roads should be minimized. Every effort should be made to
consolidate the parcels of land to achieve a more unified and well -planned
development. Development in this area should exhibit an attractive, high quality design,
especially as seen from Dam Neck, Shipps Corner and Holland Roads.
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning
Agreement (CZA). The applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning
Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to "offset identified
problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable," (§107(h)(1)). Should
this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve
as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.
PROFFER # 1 When developed, the area of the Property shown as
"Phase 1" on the conceptual site plan prepared by NDI
Basgier and Associates Division, dated August 3, 2004,
and titled "Conceptual Plan for Atlantic Builders, LLC" (the

storage, warehouse, and related office purposes,
substantially in accordance with the plan shown on Sheet
1 of 2 of the Conceptual Plan, copies of which are on file
with the Planning Department and have been exhibited to
City Council, however, that Grantor shall have the right to
reduce the size, number and configuration of the buildings
shown on the Conceptual Plan.

in neutral or earth -tone colors; or (c) brick, in red, neutral
or earth -tone colors. In addition, when constructed,
foundation landscaping shall be installed along all exterior

PROFFER # 4 The areas shown on Sheet 1 of 2 of the Conceptual Plan
as "Area to be Preserved 4.6 Acres" and "Area to be
Preserved 2.7 Acres" shall not be developed, except as
reasonably necessary for the installation of stormwater
retention facilities and the installation of landscaping as
shown on the Conceptual Plan.
PROFFER # 5 When developed, the Grantor shall install landscaping
along London Bridge Road Extended and Dam Neck Road
in substantial accordance with the landscaping shown on
Sheet 2 of 2 of the Conceptual Plan and shall preserve
existing, mature trees along those areas, to the extent
reasonably possible in light of the Grantor's development
plans.
PROFFER # 6 All buildings and structures located upon the Property shall
be set back a minimum distance of fifty feet from the
current right-of-way of London Bridge Road Extended. All
stormwater retention or treatment facilities located along
Dam Neck Road and London Bridge Road Extended shall

Agenda Item # 22
Page 5
be set back a minimum distance of thirty-five feet from the
current rights -of -way, as shown on Sheet 2 of 2 of the
Conceptual Plan.
PROFFER # 7 No on -site vehicular parking, outdoor storage, loading
docks or loading areas shall be permitted between London
Bridge Road and any building on any parcel adjacent to
London Bridge Road, nor within fifty feet of London Bridge

administration of applicable City Codes by all cognizant
City agencies and departments to meet all applicable City
Code requirements.
Staff Evaluation of The proffers listed address the major issued identified in
Proffers: this report and are acceptable. Proffer #2 has been
revised to reference the revised building elevations.
City Attorney's The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the proffer
Office: agreement dated October 18, 2004, and found it to be
legally sufficient and in acceptable legal form.
Staff Evaluation
Staff recommends approval of this request.
Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials
and the proffers, adequately addresses each of the `Major Issues' identified above. The
requested rezoning is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations
for the South Oceana Strategic Growth Area. The proposed use is primarily
warehouse/storage. Access to the site will be limited to London Bridge Road, along the
northern edge of the property. The applicant has proposed to preserve two wetland
areas on the site that make up almost one-third of the acreage, totaling 7.3 acres.
These two wetland areas are strategically located on the northwest and southeast
corners of the site so that they will almost totally screen the buildings from view along
ATLANTIC BUILDERS, LLC
Agenda Item #22
Page 6
London Bridge Road Extended and Dam Neck Road, two roadways where aesthetics
are critical. The applicant has also provided a landscape buffer along London Bridge
Road to the north that is comparable to other newly developed industrial areas along
this roadway.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval of this request.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the
administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans
submitted with this rezoning application may require
revision during detailed site plan review to meet all
applicable City Codes.

Item #22
Atlantic Builders, L.L.C.
Change of Zoning District Classification
Southern side of London Bridge Road
District 6
Beach
December 8, 2004
CONSENT
William Din: The last item that I have on the consent agenda is Item #22, Atlantic
Builders, L.L.C. It's an application for a Change of Zoning District Classification from
AG-1 & AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional I-1 Industrial District on property
located on the southern side of London Bridge Road, approximately 500 feet east of its
intersection with Shipps Corner and London Bridge Road in the Beach District.
Jeff Maynard: Thank you. Again, I'm Jeff Maynard on behalf of the applicant. I'm the
attorney. Also, I have in the audience with me today is Mr. Kevin Mumm from Atlantic
Builders. We've read and accept the conditions including Proffer #9, which I believe Ms.
Duke circulated to you regarding the installation of a privacy fence.
William Din: Thank you very much. There are no conditions. These are 9 proffers on
this application.
Jeff Maynard: Thanks.
William Din: Is there any opposition to placing this on consent? If not, Ms. Anderson,
will you please discuss this item?
Janice Anderson: Yes. Thank you. The applicant has requested to put an office
warehouse and warehouse storage on this site. It is located between London Bridge Road
and Dam Neck. The property has AICUZ greater than 75 decibels. Also, this property is
within the Accident Potential Zone One. The Navy has a restricted easement over this
property. So, we believe that the type of facility they are proposing is acceptable with
those restrictions on the property. This application was deferred from a prior meeting and
the Commission asked for the applicant to review the building elevation that they had
previously supplied to us. They have come back with what we believe is greatly
improved design elevations for this facility. We appreciate the applicant working with us
and making those changes. The Commission's concern with these buildings is that with
the warehouses it was mainly the buildings that were going to be visible from the
roadside, which would have been along Dam Neck Road and London Bridge Road and
London Bridge Road Extension. With regard to visibility the site is one third wetlands
which the applicant is going to keep intact and that is heavily wooded. That will provide
a nice buffer and also the applicant has added buffers of landscaping along the outer
edge. It is either 50 foot or 30 foot wide buffer between their proposed facility and the
roads. The applicant today had to agree to add a proffer of installing a fence next door to
Item #22
Atlantic Builders, L.L.C.
Page 2
some existing residential homes. There is a small piece of property that is on the east
side of this site, which is zoned agricultural which they do have existing homes, and they
have agreed to put up a fence to buffer their use from the residential area. We believe
with the proffers that have been proposed this would be acceptable and appropriate and
recommend approval.
William Din: Thank you Ms. Anderson. I would like to make a motion to approve the
following consent item, Item #22, Atlantic Builders, L.L.C. It's a Change of Zoning
District Classification from AG-1 & AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional I-1
Industrial District on property located at London Bridge Road at its intersection with
Shipps Corner and London Bridge in the Beach District. It is proffered.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Din. Do I hear a second?
Donald Horsley: Second.
Dorothy Wood: A motion by Mr. Din and seconded by Mr. Horsley.

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of this 15th day of December, 2004
by and between HELEN S. SAWYER and JULIAN BEVERLEY SAWYER, JR.,
(collectively, the "Grantor"), the current owner of that certain property located in the 400 Block
of Dam Neck Road and London Bridge Road in Virginia Beach, Virginia, which property is more
particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the
"Property"), ATLANTIC BUILDERS, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the
"Grantor"), the purchaser of the property, and the CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal
corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia (hereinafter referred to as "Grantee").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Grantor has initiated an amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia, by petition addressed to the Grantee, so as to change the classification
of the property from AG-1 to Conditional I-l; and
WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes, including mixed use purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor 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 I-1 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 conditional amendment to the
Zoning Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the existing I-1 districts 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
GPIN NO.: I495-55-4706-0000
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 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 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.
NOW THEREFORE, the Grantor, for itself, it's successors, assigns, grantees, and other
successors in title or interest, voluntarily and without any requirement by or exaction from the
Grantee 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 make the following
declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall restrict and govern the physical
development, operation and use of the Property and hereby covenant and agree that these proffers
(collectively, the "Proffers") shall constitute covenants running with the said Property, which

conditions, and (ii) the bringing of legal action or suit to ensure compliance with such conditions,
