AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend City Code Section 12-43 Pertaining to
Overcrowding
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background: Provisions of the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code are
included in the City Code, with certain amendments. One such provision
addresses the overcrowding of buildings.
■ Considerations: The proposed ordinance provides that it shall be unlawful to
permit the obstruction of aisles, passageways, or other means of egress,
regardless of whether the obstruction is caused by the presence of objects or
people. If the Fire Marshall finds that a building is overcrowded or that aisles,
passageways, or means of egress are obstructed, the ordinance grants the Fire
Marshall the authority either to evacuate the building or to prohibit the entry of
additional people until the problem has been rectified.
■ Public Information: This Ordinance will be advertised in the same manner as
other agenda items.
■ Recommendations: Adoption.

45 unsuited for immediate utilization, admittance to the
46
building

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend City Code Section 21-317 Pertaining to Maximum
Speed Limits Generally
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background: The City is authorized by the State to regulate the speeds of
vehicles traveling on highways located within its boundaries. City Code § 21-317
parallels the provisions of Code of Virginia §§ 46.2-870, 46.2-871, 46.2-872, 46.2-874,
46.2-875, 46.2-876 and 46.2-878. Code of Virginia § 46.2-878 [paralleled in City Code
§ 21-317. (b)] gives the City Manager the authority to increase or decrease the speed
limit set forth in 46.2-878 [paralleled in City Code § 21-317. (a) (7)] which reads:
The maximum speed limit shall be thirty-five miles per hour on highways in
any city or town, except on interstate or other limited access highways
with divided roadways and in business or residence districts.
As authorized, there are many streets in the City where the maximum speed limit is 45
miles per hour. Defense attorneys have successfully argued that City ordinances do not
prohibit a car from exceeding the posted speed limit if that posted limit is 45 miles per
hour. The first defense argument is the only specific references to a 45 miles per hour
speed zone found City Code § 21-317 are subsections (a) (3) — (5), and because these
subsection only regulate the speed of trucks, road tractors, motor vehicles towing
another vehicle, school busses and vehicles operating under a special permit, these
subsections do not prohibit cars from exceeding the posted 45 mile per hour speed limit.
The second argument is that speeding in a 45 mile per hour zone cannot be violation of
subsection (a) (7), because this subsection only refers to a 35 mile an hour speed
zone.
To counter these arguments, the Judge needs to be directed to read subsection (a) (7)
in conjunction with 21-317 (b) which gives the City Manager the authority to increase or
decrease the maximum speed limits set in § 21-317 (a) (7). Then the Court must
conclude the 45 mile an hour speed zone is lawful and that any motor vehicle speeding
in that 45 mile an hour speed zone has violated City Code § 21-317. Because there is
no attorney present to represent the City and because police officers may present a
traffic case but may not argue the law, the City Code should be revised to clearly state
that exceeding any lawfully posted speed limit is unlawful.
■ Considerations: Amending § 21-317 of the City Code will provide police,
citizens and the courts with an ordinance that clearly states exceeding any
lawfully posted speed limit is illegal.
■ Public Information: This item will be advertised in the same manner as other
items on City Council's agenda.
■ Recommendations: Adopt Ordinance

54 (7) Thirty-five (35) miles per hour on highways in
55 the city, except upon interstate or other limited
56 access highways with divided roadways and except in
57 business or residence districts.
58
(8) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions
59
(1), (2) and (3) of this subsection, the speed limits
60
for passenger motor vehicles, while towing utility,
61
camping or boat trailers not exceeding an actual gross
62
weight of twenty-five hundred (2500) pounds, shall be
63
the same as that for passenger motor vehicles.
64
44))-
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the
65
state highway

and 4-}}-(b) (3) of this section and may increase or
69
decrease

It is further expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein contained shall
be construed to enlarge the permission and authority to permit the maintenance or construction of
any encroachment other than that specified herein and to the limited extent specified herein, nor

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance to Approve and Authorize the Acquisition of (A) Four (4)
Contiguous Parcels of Real Property at Rudee Loop for $2,000,000 from the
Overton Family and (B) All Residual Interest in the 4 Parcels from the Heirs of
C.V. Creech for $35,000
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background: Working under the concept plan developed under City
Council direction and with public input, the City has been assembling
property and acquiring options for public and private development at
Rudee Loop.
The City staff has negotiated with the Overton family and the heirs of
C.V. Creech for four remaining parcels for a total purchase price of
$2,035,000. Funding has been appropriated and is available for these
acquisitions under CIP 9-302 Rudee Loop Development — Phase I.
■ Considerations: In this area the City has, to date, purchased properties
from the Beach Quarters Inn, the Caton Family, This & That Ltd., and
Herman, Inc. The purchase of these remaining 4 parcels completes the
assemblage of property on this block of Rudee Loop.
■ Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the
normal Council agenda advertisement process.
■ Alternatives: Should the City not purchase the property, the property
could be sold off separately, resulting in less than desirable projects,
not consistent with the City's vision for the oceanfront resort area.
■ Recommendations: Adopt the ordinance authorizing the City Manager
or his designee to execute the Purchase Agreement and take all
appropriate actions with respect thereto.
■ Attachments: Ordinance
Recommended Action: Approval

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance To Appropriate $70,000 In Estimated Revenue From
The Motor Carrier Safety Unit To The Police Department's FY 2005-06
Operating Budget For The Purchase Of Scales
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background: The Police Department's Motor Carrier Safety Unit was formed in 1991.
The unit conducts roadside inspections of commercial motor vehicles to enforce traffic safety
ordinances and locate equipment defects, log book violations, hauling permit violations, and
hazardous materials violations. The unit works in conjunction with counterparts in the Virginia
State Police and other local police departments.
The unit uses scales to weigh suspected overweight vehicles. The last scales were purchased
in 1999. There is a need to purchase 22 additional scales to weigh newer trucks and to provide
an additional member of the unit with a full set of scales. There are three officers assigned to
this unit. The newer straight 7 axle dump trucks require up to 14 scales to weigh them properly.
Two officers currently have 10 scales each and need 14 each. The additional officer needs 14
scales.
■ Considerations: The Motor Carrier Safety Unit provides a valuable service to the
community by enforcing traffic safety ordinances concerning commercial motor vehicles. The
unit also helps to assure that the City's roadways are not damaged by overweight vehicles.
Funds are available through revenue generated by the unit. During the last four fiscal years, a
total of $676,291 in revenue has been realized as a result of this unit's efforts. The cost of 22
scales is $79,100. This equipment was requested, but not funded, in the FY 2004/05 budget
process.
The cost of these scales should be offset by the additional revenue generated through fines. It
is anticipated that the 22 additional scales would generate an additional $200,000 in revenue in
FY 2005-06.
The Police Department is requesting $70,000 towards the purchase of these scales in FY 2005-
06. The remaining $9,100 will be funded through other Police Department funds.
■ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council
Agenda public information process.
■ Alternatives: Without additional scales, accurate measurements of the newer straight 7
axle dump trucks cannot be made.
■ Recommendations: Appropriate $70,000 to purchase of 22 scales in FY 2005-06.
■ Attachments: None
Recommended Action: Approval

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $18,100 in Ordinance Violations Revenue to
the FY 2004-05 Operating Budget of the Department of Agriculture for
Wetlands and Coastal Sand Dune Restoration and Enhancements
Projects
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background: Civil charges are collected for violations of the City's Chesapeake
Bay Preservation Area Ordinance. Historically, these funds have been
subsequently appropriated for various environmental restoration and habitat
enhancement projects in the City. These projects are coordinated and
implemented by the Habitat Enhancement Committee that was officially
established by City Council in August 1994.
■ Considerations: Between July 1, 2004 and May 31, 2005, the Chesapeake Bay
Preservation Board collected civil charges in the amount of $18,100 from various
individuals for violations of the provisions of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation
Area Ordinance. The Department of Agriculture requests that a total of $18,100
be appropriated to the Operating Budget of the Department of Agriculture to be
used by the Habitat Enhancement Committee for various projects. These funds
will be used to enhance the City's natural environment through coastal sand
dune stabilization and tidal wetlands restoration. Some recent projects include
the Lynnhaven Boat Ramp and Great Neck Park wetlands plantings, Little Island
Park dune stabilization, purchase of a greenhouse for the Virginia Aquarium and
wetland creation at Redwing Golf Course. Possible new projects include
wetlands and shoreline enhancement at the Adam Thoroughgood House.
■ Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal City
Council agenda process.
■ Alternatives: No other funds are budgeted for the described purpose.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Transfer $209,000 within the FY 2004-05 Comprehensive
Services Act Special Revenue Fund for Client Services
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
❑ Background: Section 2.2-5211 of the Code of Virginia requires the General Assembly and
the local governing body to appropriate sufficient funds to provide mandated special
education and foster care services. The current funding ratio for mandated children is
35.69% local and 64.31 % state.
The Comprehensive Services Act was established in 1993 to consolidate several funding
streams for non-residential and residential services for identified youth into a single pool of
funding. Comprehensive Services Act Special Revenue funding is utilized to provide
mandated services for foster care children and children requiring special education services
as indicated by their Individualized Education Plan. Comprehensive Services Act Special
Revenue funding is also utilized to provide non -mandated services to Court Services, Mental
Retardation, and Mental Health/Substance Abuse youth.
❑ Considerations: The Comprehensive Services Act Special Revenue Fund provides
payment for client specific services delivered by an array of vendors, including several city
departments. The Comprehensive Services Act Fund contains a separate account for client
services provided by city departments. A transfer of $209,000 within the Comprehensive
Services Act Special Revenue fund from the Comprehensive Services Act Special Revenue
Fund General Fund-MH/MR/SA Transfer Account to the Comprehensive Services Act
Special Revenue Fund Comprehensive Services Act Administration and Social Services
Other Purchased Services Account is necessary to keep these individual accounts within
appropriations. The funding is sufficient in total for the fund, but this transfer is needed to
align the funding in the accounts with legal appropriation authority. The amount of state
revenue is the same for both accounts. All of the services provided to the mandated
populations were reviewed and approved as necessary by the Family Assessment and
Planning Team (FAPT).
❑ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal council agenda
process.
❑ Alternatives: Currently there are no alternatives.
❑ Recommendations: Approve the proposed transfer.

Agreement With Hampton Roads Squadron, Association of Naval Aviation,
Inc., for Costs to Refinish the Existing Retaining Walls Adjacent to the
Monument to Naval Aviation
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background: On September 28, 2004, City Council approved the use of the 25th Street
park area just east of Atlantic Ave for a monument to Naval Aviation as proposed by Hampton
Roads Squadron, Association of Naval Aviation (HRANA). The City then executed a
Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Virginia Beach and HRANA to construct a
world -class monument to naval aviation in Virginia Beach to recognize the contributions of naval
aviation and the citizens of Virginia Beach to the defense of our nation. Approval of all required
site plans and permits was granted in January 2005, and construction began soon afterward.
To date, site work is substantially complete with installation of the bronze sculptures expected in
the fall. A formal opening and dedication is planned for Spring 2006.
■ Considerations: Prior to approaching the City with the project, HRANA had raised over
$750,000 towards the project, and since City Council approval last fall, fund raising has
continued with the total now exceeding $1,000,000. HRANA remains committed to completing
the work with quality materials and privately raised funds. However, the project has
experienced cost increases due to the rapid rise in costs of construction materials and
unexpected site issues.
HRANA has approached the City regarding the issue of the existing brick retaining walls
bordering the 25th Street Park site. The City constructed the walls many years ago and as a
result of repairs and weathering, the walls' current appearance will detract from the new high -
quality stone and granite materials being used on the monument. HRANA has proposed
cladding the walls with rock, pre -cast or granite cladding. Cost estimates vary depending on the
choice of materials from $42,170.00 to $68,995.00. HRANA does not have sufficient funds to
refurbish the walls at this time. HRANA has requested the City assist in funding an upgrade to
the appearance of the retaining walls. The City Manager would be authorized and directed to
execute a cost participation agreement with HRANA in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for the
cost of refinishing the walls.
The funding source for this transfer is Reserve for Contingencies.
■ Alternatives: The retaining walls can remain as is and the monument site will function
as planned but with a less appealing visual complement to the new materials and sculptures.
HRANA will continue its fund raising efforts and come back at a later date and clad the walls
once the funds are in hand. This alternative would result in a less than optimal installation, as
the retaining wall cladding would have to be cut to fit on top of the pavers rather than being
installed prior to the pavers. This would increase the cost to HRANA since construction
equipment would have to be redeployed to the site. It would also necessitate another short
closure of the park to the public when the cladding was installed.
■ Recommendations: HRANA has invested over $1,000,000 to date in the project.
Once complete, the monument will represent over $2,000,000 in actual costs and donated time
by architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers and craftsman. Given the substantial investment
made by HRANA in this public asset, and the fact that all other funding has been privately
raised, it is recommended that City Council approve this ordinance and enter into a cost
participation agreement for up to $50,000 for costs to improve the existing retaining walls
adjacent to the site.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: City of Virginia Beach, Amendments to the Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances pertaining to nonconforming lots
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background:
(a) An Ordinance to Amend Sections 105 and 502 of the City Zoning
Ordinance, Establishing Restrictions on Development of Nonconforming
Lots in Residential Zoning Districts
(b) An Ordinance to Amend Section 4.4 of the Subdivision Ordinance,
pertaining to the Resubdivision of Nonconforming Lots in Residential

■ Considerations:
The two amendments were advertised for the June 28 City Council meeting in
anticipation of the Planning Commission taking action on June 14. However, on
June 14, the Planning Commission indefinitely deferred the proposed
amendments, providing time for staff and the commission to conduct further
evaluation regarding the potential applicability of an amendment designed to
further regulate nonconforming lots.
■ Recommendations:
Since action on the amendments was indefinitely deferred by the Planning
Commission, the City Council cannot act.
Recommended Action: No Action Necessary.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Town Center Associates, L.L.C. — Conditional Use Permit (multi -family
dwellings)
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Town Center Associates, L.L.C. for a
Conditional Use Permit for multi -family dwellings on property bounded on the
west by Independence Boulevard, on the north by Commerce Street, on the east
by Market Street and on the south by Columbus Street (GPINs
14774455430000;14774484440000;14774475940000;14774464930000;
14774485940000). DISTRICT 5 — LYNNHAVEN
■ Considerations:
The applicant, Town Center Associates, requests a Conditional Use Permit to
allow development of the site for 120 multi -family (condominium) dwellings. The
dwellings will be part of a project that includes a hotel (The Westin), retail and
restaurant space, and a parking garage.
Retail, restaurants, the hotel lobby, and residential development lobby anchor the
four corners of the proposed building. Parking is to be located on five levels of
the proposed building. The hotel will occupy floors three through sixteen. The
proposed condominiums will occupy floors 17 through 36. The proposed dwelling
units will be a mix of one and two bedroom apartments, ranging in size from 800
square feet to 2,500 square feet. The penthouse area will have a social room and
lounge available for the residents.
The proposed building design is contemporary, complementing the existing
buildings in Town Center. The height of the building, as reported to staff, is 497
feet (to the top of the spire). This height exceeds the maximum height limit
allowed in the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District, which is 400 feet.
An amendment to the City Zoning Ordinance is forthcoming, which will propose
allowing building heights in the B-3A District such as that planned for this
building.
The purpose of the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District is to optimize
the area's development potential for a mixed use, pedestrian -oriented urban
activity center with mid- to high-rise structures. Introduction of this multi -use
building comprising retail, restaurant, hotel, multi -family dwellings and parking will
Town Center Associates, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 2
achieve part of the vision of the Comprehensive Plan and the Central Business
District Master Plan to develop an urban center that is a mix of complementary
uses. The unit types are varied and designed to appeal to all market types.
Common space is provided to complement the units. Sufficient parking is
provided for a maximum of 120 dwelling units, proposed retail and restaurant
uses, the hotel, and additional parking for general public use.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they
felt that it is an appropriate addition to Town Center, staff recommended
approval, and there was no opposition to the request.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 8-0 with 1
abstention to approve this request with the following conditions:
1. The Conditional Use Permit is limited to a maximum of 120 multi -family
dwelling units.
2. The exterior of the building shall substantially adhere to the submitted
renderings titled "Virginia Beach Town Center Luxury Hotel &
Residences", prepared by Brennan Beer Gorman Architects, dated
3/28/05. Said renderings are on file with the City of Virginia Beach
Planning Department.
3. All mechanical equipment, including generators, shall be screened from
the public rights of ways. The screening shall include solid walls that
complement the structure.

William Din: The next item I have is Item #3. This is Town Center Associates, L.L.C.
This is a Conditional Use Permit application for multi -family dwellings on property
bounded by Independence Boulevard, and on the north by Commerce Street, and on the
east by Market Street, and on the south by Columbus Street. This is in the Lynnhaven
District, and there are three conditions associated with this item.
Mike Nickols: Good afternoon and thank you. My name is Mike Nickols, the attorney
representing the applicant, Town Center Associates. We have read and accept the
conditions.
William Din: Thank you sir. Is there any opposition to placing this item on consent
agenda? If not, Ms. Anderson could you speak on this too?
Janice Anderson: Yes. Thank you. This is a very exciting attractive new addition to the
Town Center Development. What they're proposing is a tower of 36 floors. Now this
will be tallest building now supposedly in Virginia Beach. It will overtake the current
large tower that is Town Center. The proposal is for a Conditional Use Permit for 120
multi -family dwelling units. This new building will have retail and restaurants on the
bottom floor, and actually be the anchors on all four corners. There will be parking on
five floors. The hotel in this facility, floors 3-16, and it is the proposed Western Hotel.
The hotel will occupy that portion of the building, and from floors 17-36 will be
apartments or condos. They will be one or two bedroom dwellings. They have different
site plans that they have submitted. It is a very attractive, and it is believed to be very
popular. These one or two bedroom apartments or condos will go anywhere from 800
square feet to 2,500 square feet. This facility will be right across from the proposed
theatre that has just been approved. One issue that has been addressed in the Planning
report is transportation. There has been some concerned with the traffic in the area, but
the City has addressed, and Planning Department has already started a comprehensive
traffic study, which they will keep on top of, and as development progresses in the Town
Center area, we believe that will address any concerns that they have there. This is an
appropriate addition to the Town Center. The zoning is new to Virginia Beach. It's a B-
3A Pembroke Business Center, and that is to encourage the urban development that Town

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Messiah Lutheran Church — Conditional Use Permit (church expansion)
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Messiah Lutheran Church for a Conditional
Use Permit for a church (expansion) on property located at 1486 Holland Road
(GPIN 14860641960000). DISTRICT 3 — ROSE HALL
■ Considerations:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow the temporary
placement of a two room modular office trailer unit, 50 feet long by 14 feet wide,
to be installed at the rear of the church property. This temporary trailer will be
used for educational church programs and meeting space. The church has
developed a five-year capital improvement plan to include additional worship and
education space. When the church is ready to proceed with any expansion of
their existing facilities, an additional Conditional Use Permit for that expansion
will be necessary.
Staff recognizes the need for the church to provide an interim area for meeting
space until an expansion is constructed. Modular trailer units are for a temporary
need only and should not become a part of the permanent facility. A condition to
the use permit pertaining to the temporary nature of this use is recommended
below. Conditions have also been recommended to ensure that the
undercarriage of the unit is screened and that the unit is secured at all times.
Additionally, in order to provide access to the unit by emergency response
vehicles, a condition has been recommended requiring the installation of a gravel
surface capable of supporting 75,000 pounds back to the unit from the existing
parking lot.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because it is
a temporary use while the church works on its capital improvement project, staff
recommended approval, and there was no opposition to the request.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 to
approve this request as part of the Consent Agenda with the following conditions:
Messiah Lutheran Church
Page 2 of 2
The Conditional Use Permit is for the addition of one modular trailer
unit on the church site for a period of five years from the date of
City Council approval. Continued use of the unit beyond that time
shall require approval of a new Conditional Use Permit.
2. The modular trailer unit shall be installed at the location indicated
on the submitted Physical Survey for Messiah Lutheran Church
dated April 12, 1993 by Stephen I. Boone & Associates.
3. The bottom of the modular trailer unit shall be screened by an
opaque or semi -opaque apron.
4. High -security locks are to be provided for the doors of the modular
trailer unit.
5. Landscape screening consisting of either wax myrtles or ligustrums
a minimum of three feet high and three feet apart in a mulched bed
shall be provided along the front of the modular trailer unit.
6. A vehicle turn around (either a hammerhead or cul-de-sac) shall be
provided at the end of the drive aisle. A gravel surface capable of
supporting 75,000 pounds, meeting the width and radius
requirements may be used as the paving surface.

CONSENT
William Din: My next item is Item #9 Messiah Lutheran Church. This is an application
for a Conditional Use Permit for a church (expansion) on property located at 1486
Holland Road in the Rose Hall District. There are six conditions associated with the
application. Welcome.
Robert Vogl: Good afternoon. We accept all the conditions.
William Din: Would you identify yourself.
Robert Vogl: I'm sorry. Bob Vogl. I'm the Pastor of Messiah Lutheran.
William Din: Thank you. Is there any objection to placing this item on consent agenda?
If not, Mr. Don Horsley, will you please speak on this issue?
Donald Horsley: Okay. This church has applied for a Conditional Use Permit for a
temporary usage of a module trailer while they are in the stages of enlarging their
operation there. The temporary trailer will be used for educational purposes, and also for
an area to study how to better do their capital improvements. It's a five-year deal and we
don't see any problem with it. It's being accessed in the rear of the property, and I think
the conditions have adequately addressed any concerns that have arisen, so they have
been agreed to by the pastor and we thought it should be put on consent agenda.
William Din: Thank you again Don. I would like to make the following motion to
approve the following consent agenda item, Item #9 Messiah Lutheran Church, an
application for a Conditional Use Permit for a church expansion in the Rose Hall District
with six conditions.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: G and A Properties, L.L.C. — Conditional Use Permit (motor vehicle sales
and rental)
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of G and A Properties, L.L.C. for a Conditional
Use Permit for motor vehicle sales and rental on property located at 4933 and
4935 Virginia Beach Boulevard (GPINs 14771531100000; 14771521400000;
14771429990000). DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE
■ Considerations:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to operate a motor vehicle sales
and rental business. The applicant will utilize the existing building and paved
areas on the site for these uses. A portion of this site, 7,500 square feet in the
northwest corner, was previously approved for a Conditional Use Permit for
motor vehicle sales and rental and an indoor car wash in 1995. The applicant
recently purchased the property and is currently operating his business on the
7,500 square foot western portion of the site already covered by a Use Permit.
The landscaping required with the 1995 Conditional Use Permit has been
installed and the Conditional Use Permit was administratively extended several
times. At some point in time, the landscaping was removed and concrete pads
were installed within the right-of-way to display vehicles for sale. Condition 3,
recommended below, requires removal of the pads and restoration of the
landscaping.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-1 to approve
this request with the following conditions:
This Conditional Use Permit supersedes the Conditional Use Permit
granted at 4935 Virginia Beach Boulevard on May 23, 1995.
2. The existing indoor car wash may remain.
G and A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 2of3
3. The applicant shall submit a site plan to the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center within 90 days of approval of this
use permit that addresses the following items.
i. Removal of the two existing concrete pads within the Virginia

ii. Removal of the western entrance within the Virginia Beach
Boulevard right-of-way.
iii. Installation of standard street front landscaping within the 12-
foot wide grassed area between the sidewalk and on -site
pavement along the entire Virginia Beach Boulevard
frontage.
iv. Modification of the eastern entrance to comply with current
commercial entrance standards.
v. Identification of a customer/employee parking area with at
least three spaces, one being a handicap accessible space.
4. The existing chain link fence and planting surrounding the rear of the site
does not meet the requirement for auto storage areas or the required
setbacks from Potomac Street. The applicant intends to apply to the
Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance to these requirements. If the
variance is denied, the applicant shall include on the site plan submitted to
the Development Services Center a new fence and plantings that meet
current zoning ordinance requirements.
5. There shall be no pennants, streamers, balloons, portable signs or
banners displayed on the site or the vehicles.
6. Vehicles shall be parked in the designated areas and no vehicles shall be
parked or displayed within any portion of the public right-of-way. No
vehicles shall be displayed on ramps. Vehicles shall not be used as
barriers to prevent ingress or egress of the site. Storage of vehicles
awaiting sale shall not obstruct Fire Department access to the site.
7. On -site vehicle maintenance is permitted as an accessory use only for
light mechanical work wholly within the building. Light mechanical work
consists mainly of such things as fixing flat tires, replacing tires, windshield
wipers, belts as needed. No outdoor storage of parts, tires or equipment
is allowed.
8. There shall be no neon signs or neon accents installed on the exterior of
the building, the inside or outside of any window, and/or door, any light
pole or any other portion of the site.
9. A yearly administrative review of this Conditional Use Permit shall be
conducted to ensure continued compliance with the above conditions.

mid to high-rise residential uses and a variety of compatible higher value non-residential uses including
office, retail, publicly accessible urban open space, entertainment, educational, institutional and other
similar urban activities. A gradual transformation from the existing land uses in the area to those
recommended by the Plan is envisioned.

Plan recognizes that the transition from existing land uses to those recommended by the Plan will happen
over an extended period of time. In an effort to support the applicant's desire for this to be an interim,
short term use of the property, the staff has recommended some minimal improvements with the
conditions listed below. These conditions will help to enhance the aesthetics of this site so that it better
fits the vision for this area while allowing the applicant to utilize the existing building and paving to the

G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Conditional Use Permit
4933 and 4935 Virginia Beach Boulevard
District 2
Kempsville
May 11, 2005
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is Item #4 G & A Properties, L.L.C, an Ordinance upon
application of G & A Properties, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use Permit for motor vehicle
sales and rental on property located at 4933 and 4935 Virginia Beach Boulevard, District
2, Kempsville with nine conditions.
Eddie Bourdon: Madame Chair. Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia Beach attorney representing
the applicant. Mr. Loizou is here this afternoon with us. He will give us a brief synopsis
and try to clear up a couple of things that may have been somewhat unclear this morning
in the informal. This piece of property is on Virginia Beach Boulevard on the south side.
In fact, a few years ago the previous owner applied for and obtained a Conditional Use
Permit for this small section of what is an assemblage of a number of lots for a Use
Permit for auto sales and the car wash. Subsequent to that operation being in place, my
client bought the property. He is in the process and has been trying to assemble some
properties in this area for potential redevelopment. In addition to the car wash and auto
sales, there is a small restaurant on the property adjacent to the property. It is not on one
continuous parcel but is under one ownership, however, but it was not contiguous, and it
is the one piece called Napoleons. With the success of Town Center and the large
number of eateries that we are now blessed to have in our city, unfortunately there has
been some negative fallout. It is not a criticism but some of the smaller establishments
nearby have not faired well. They have not been able to sustain the business so my
client, who is renting to them, and after buying the property operating the car sales has
determined the best course of action in his long term plan, as we discussed with staff
being to redevelop the property. Hopefully, it will assemble with other properties.
Temporarily, he will continue to use the property in total for auto sales, and that is the
genesis of this application. As a temporary use not looking what is going to happen in
the future, I think a temporary use and it is a good use. As such, we don't want to be
expending any large number dollars to change the appearance of the property. We will
certainly have no problem with the conditions that staff has recommended with one
exception, and I think this was not particularly clear this morning. We are in full accord
with all of the conditions including Sections A, C, and E in Subsection Three. We have
no problem with removal of existing concrete pads in the Virginia Beach Boulevard
right-of-way. We have no problem with complying with the law. I do understand there
may be some discussion about the fact there might not be to date compliance with the
requirements that there not be any cars displayed in the public right-of-way. I certainly
am not here to defend or condone any such activity. I do know it does happen. We all
know that. With regard to Condition C, the installation of the landscaping, no problem
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 2
with that whatsoever. Condition E, this is all under Number 3, the identification of
parking spaces is not a problem in any way. What we did not feel was necessary given
the circumstances we are dealing with here is the removal of the western entrance and the
widening of the eastern entrance. We don't know how the property will redevelop, which
entrance or may be both entrances may some day go away. We're not redeveloping the
property, and there are entrances all up and down the Boulevard similar to this to the
number of sites. I went up the Boulevard this morning and counted them but there are
more than you can count on your two hands. It's not a dangerous situation or a
problematic situation. We do recognize that when this property does redevelop there will
be an elimination of entrances, and there will be consolidation of entrances but at this
point we are looking at it as a holding pattern, we certainly want it to look attractive.
That is why I don't have a problem with the landscaping. We just don't see the
significant need to spend the money to eliminate an entrance and widen another entrance
that will in 3-5 years, may well eliminate that entrance as well. So that was the only
condition of the nine conditions recommended by staff, which are far more expansive and
beneficial to the City's interest than were the conditions attached to the original Use
Permit on the smaller portion of the site. So, those were the only objections that we had.
It really is just one objection and that's changing the configuration of the entrance at this
point.
Dorothy Wood: Would you mind answering any questions Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: I would be happy to make that effort, and again my client is here. I don't
have any problem with that at all.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. Are there any questions on this side? Mr. Horsley.
Donald Horsley: Eddie, you said that he would get those vehicles off the right-of-way?
Eddie Bourdon: Absolutely. There was never, and I spoke to Barbara and that wasn't
her intent to convey that we had a problem with that. We have no problem with that. We
have not had a problem with that. My client, you may want to speak to him and he is
here, but he's here to tell you that there won't be any more vehicles in the right-of-way.
Donald Horsley: Maybe we need to hear him say that.
Eddie Bourdon: I'll be happy to allow you to.
Dorothy Wood: Could you identify yourself please?
George Loizou: Yes. My name is George Loizou. I'm the owner of G & A Properties.
As Eddie said, definitely there will be no cars parked on the right-of-way. We will
comply with the Planning.
Dorothy Wood: Are there cars parked there as we speak?
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 3
George Loizou: Yes. There is one car parked. The first car, I guess you can see it right
now.
Dorothy Wood: But there are cars there right now?
George Loizou: Yes. There is one car there.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions for him? Mr. Crabtree. I'm sorry did you
want Mr. Bourdon?
Eugene Crabtree: It doesn't make any difference. In reference to the widening of the
driveway, when we made our trip around last week and we were in the city van, and we
were pulling out, there were a couple of vehicles coming down Virginia Beach Boulevard
that wanted to make a right hand turn, and they could not adequately navigate that
driveway with the width that it currently is without us having to move the van. So, in
defense of Planning's recommendation to widen that driveway, I can honestly say that we
did have some difficulty when we were on the van trip with our van there, and other
vehicles trying to pull in there and navigate that corner. So, I can see the purpose of
widening that driveway. I would be in favor of that being done.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Are there any other comments? Mr. Ripley and then Mr.
Din.
Ronald Ripley: A question for staff and something that Mr. Bourdon said about the
existing Use Permit for auto sales. Is that the area that is in front of these buildings
where these cars are now? That's where it is? Maybe, I just misread it or misunderstood
it when we were talking about that other piece of property that was adjacent. It's actually
all on this piece of property.
Eddie Bourdon: The Use Permit that is there now is essentially on this section of the
property.
Ronald Ripley: I see.
Eddie Bourdon: It does not include this section here or the area in the rear. On the
original application we had filed was simply a Use Permit for this portion given there was
one already here. But in the process of bringing this forward, staff has determined that,
and we did not object to adding this to it so now it encompasses the entirety what is under
one ownership at this point in time.
Ronald Ripley: I understand.
Eddie Bourdon: That clears it up.
Ronald Ripley: Yeah. It clears it up a lot.

Dorothy Wood: Is there any other questions? Mr. Din.
William Din: Yeah, I would like to ask a couple of questions of Mr. Loizou, if I may?
Your intended use for this area in the back of the building is that intended to be an auto
sales area or is that going to be a storage area for your vehicles?
George Loizou: It probably is going to be some sales and some storage. No mechanical
repairs or anything like that.
William Din: So you are going to have vehicles stored back there for sale? Are people
going to have access to that area?
George Loizou: Yeah. There could be an access there. Yes.
William Din: My question is that you have a chain link fence in this area. If you're
going to have it as a bulk storage area then the fencing has to be of a different type.
George Loizou: Okay.
William Din: That is why I would like to find out what your intent use is.
George Loizou: Yes. It will probably also be for sales. If I have to change the fence I
can do that or the entrance of the fence.
Eddie Bourdon: This is not a Permit application for bulk storage. It's for sales of
vehicles. They have to be vehicles that are for sale. It's not an application for any type
of repair.
William Din: I understand that but my understanding is that if you are just going to store
vehicles in the back then I think the fencing has to be of a solid fencing. If the public is
not available to go back into that area and you lock that fence then it should not be chain
link fence.
Eddie Bourdon: The ability to secure your property with cars that are there for sale, I'm
not aware of a restriction that says that you can't have a chain link fence that secures your
boundaries of your cars that are for sale.
William Din: I think it's a sales area that we are talking about.
Eddie Bourdon: That's all that we've asked for. There is no bulk storage component.
guess the question that is blurring the lines if there are cars waiting to be sold are they
being stored while they're waiting to be sold. I'm not sure.
William Din: They can be placed back there if the public has access and walk around
and look at them for sale.

Eddie Bourdon: Right.
William Din: Okay.
Eddie Bourdon: I don't know and this is my own ignorance when the dealership is closed
whether a gate can be closed if the public is not in there.
William Din: I'm pretty sure it can. I'm not saying that it can't. My understanding is if
you're going to have a bulk storage area then it has to have a solid type fence. That is
what I wanted clarification on. Also, I do have a little bit, and I would like a little
comment, I guess on the closure of that western entrance, if I may? All along Virginia
Beach Boulevard, as you mentioned, there are many entrances to that street. I think that
is why we want one of those entrances closed. You're going to have to modify the
smaller entrance in order, I think to get in to this area anyway, and for the aesthetics of
Virginia Beach Boulevard whether it is temporary or a permanent change, I think it
would help the appearance of Virginia Beach Boulevard in this area, and we try to do that
whether it's landscaping or any other type of aesthetic improvement to make this area
look better. I think it would enhance this area if we did close this entrance and put some
kind of landscaping area in there. Without closing that entrance, I don't know, and I
guess you could if you were to pull the cement pads up, and put the landscaping in that
area, that essentially closes that entrance anyway. Is that correct?
Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Din, we don't disagree in terms of the long term view of what we
are going to see happen in this section of Virginia Beach Boulevard. What's going to
happen here is those areas, will now be landscaped, as well as landscaping here, and this
will all be landscaped with what we propose to do. All this concrete comes out. What
we ultimately believe is that one or both of these entrances may eventually be eliminated.
With an assemblage and a redevelopment of a larger piece that even this assemblages
represents which is what the view of my client's investment is in is the ultimate
redevelopment of this property. What we're dealing with is how much money one is
going to spend in the interim to put in place, eliminating an entrance and adding and
widening another entrance for something that may both go away. It may not be the right
location for an entrance if this property were to redevelop as it is. We have suggested
and it is not even one of the conditions that we're happy to limit the term of this Use
Permit because we are not looking to spend a lot of money on something that we are not
going to be doing on a long-term basis. When I go up and down the Boulevard and look
at uses that are going to be there for quite a while, I believe that are on properties that are
similarly sized, and closely similarly sized that have the same type of situation. It is not a
limited access road. I do appreciate the concerns that Mr. Crabtree expressed. Again,
those other driveways are best that I can tell. I didn't go out there and measure them of
the fairly similar width. So, it's really a question of trying to, in my mind, accommodate
a use of the property that is intended to try to promote what we ultimately want to see a
change in vision rather than an expenditure of a fair amount of capital to improve a site
that is length than the term they are going to wish to use for a use that I hope, and I think
we all hope won't be a long term use. That is kind of a balance that we try to engage the
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 6
staff. The staff has been very helpful in that regard. The only issue that we have, and
have any disagreement on is just this entrance issue.
William Din: Well, I understand but there is no guarantee whether this use is going to be
there in five years or ten years but whatever period of time it is going to be, I would like
to see some kind of improvement along this area to improve the aesthetics of Virginia
Beach Boulevard. This is a major thoroughfare, and the number of entrances is of
concern. When you go to redevelop this site there is nothing to preclude a reestablishing
a different entrance if that was the case for redevelopment.
Eddie Bourdon: The intent is not preserve two entrances for redevelopment in any way.
If we were coming forth to do a redevelopment of the property, there isn't any doubt
about the fact that we would be eliminating an entrance. I'm not suggesting in any way.
I don't want anyone to get the impression that we're trying to preserve that for future
redevelopment because when that occurs the entrance, at least one or potentially both
may well go away. That would be in are development where we are tearing down the
building and building something more substantial. That's the balancing act. What you
have here are conditions that are going to require the property to be better landscaped
than exist today. Although, compared to some properties along the Boulevard, it is
certainly not the worse.
William Din: That's true but as I said, with each application when we insist on different
type of landscaping changes that is for the aesthetic of this thing. I think the elimination
of this entrance is part of that too. You have to get what you can when the application
comes through as part of that process that we usually evaluate for so I think elimination
of this entrance is an important aspect of these conditions. I think I would like to keep
that in there. At the same time, I have a hard time looking at this application in view of
these vehicles being stored in the right-of-way, and the continued use of that. I would
like to have seen that these vehicles been moved prior to it coming up to us or making
sure that they are moved before City Council sees this thing.
Dorothy Wood: We have several more questions but I believe Mr. Bourdon they were
asked to be moved when the staff went out there. I think you heard that this morning one
of the concerns of the Commission. Would you please answer questions from Ms.
Katsias and Mr. Horsley?
Kathy Katsias: I think one of the items here is there are no more than 10 cars for sale or
lease parked in front. Where do the customers park? What is the total parking ratio in
front of the building?
George Loizou: I would say there is about 25 parking spaces.
Kathy Katsias: Ten of which are going to be for cars that are for sale.
George Loizou: Right.
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 7
Kathy Katsias: And the employees will park where?
George Loizou: In the back.
Kathy Katsias: In the back? So where would you show the vehicles that are for sale
versus where the customers park?
George Loizou: Well, when the people would come in the entrance, I would have a sign
that says "parking in the rear."
Kathy Katsias: For the customers?
George Loizou: For the customers. Yes.
Kathy Katsias: So the customers will park in the rear? So all the vehicles in the front are
for sale?
George Loizou: Yes. Except, I can have a couple of parking spaces right in front of the
office that I can allow for handicapped, which there is one parking space there already
assigned for handicapped in front of the building.
Kathy Katsias: Isn't that going to create a lot of traffic with customers coming in versus
vehicles being taken out for test drive?
George Loizou: When they pull in there is enough space where they can park and people
go around it.
Eddie Bourdon: One of the conditions is there has to be marked, which is not there
today. They have to be marked spaces that meet the current requirements of our zoning
ordinance. That will help significantly in terms of the ordering of access, and drive aisles
through the property that doesn't exist today. That is one of the conditions that your staff
has put in here. All parking spaces will need to be marked, and that means they will be
marked to our current requirements and drive aisles would be appropriate. I think when
you visualize in the site today, it doesn't measure up because it doesn't have parking
marks like it suppose to. Also, I would like my client because I think the picture may
have caused him some confusion with the question that asked previously. He tells me
that there today no cars parked in the right-of-way. When the picture was taken that was
not the case. I'm not familiar.
Dorothy Wood: There was yesterday Mr. Bourdon. I don't know about today.
Eddie Bourdon: Well believe me, after the informal this morning, and I was on the phone
and he tells me there are no cars in the right-of-way but that's another issue. They are not
there now.
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 8
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Horsley.
Donald Horsley: Yeah. The other entrance that we are talking about doing away with,
the way I see it vehicles park in front of that entrance so it is not used?
Eddie Bourdon: That's the problem. You're not allowed to have a vehicle parked there.
That is one of the conditions that will have to be adhered to is there won't be any cars
parked there in front of that entrance in the right-of-way.
Donald Horsley: In the right-of-way. I mean in the entrance.
Eddie Bourdon: A good portion of the entrance is in the right-of-way.
Donald Horsley: Show me the entrance. On that diagram, show me the one that we just
saw.
Eddie Bourdon: What you just saw there was cars parked in this area which is the
entrance, which is in the public right-of-way. The property line is this dark line that is
right here. So, if you go to that picture then you see these vehicles they are parked in the
entrance in the right-of-way.
Donald Horsley: Okay.
Eddie Bourdon: Again, the property line is back in this area here so that all will have to
go away. Then the entrance will be utilized.
Donald Horsley: So what I'm saying is that you're not using the second entrance now
anyway except for parking vehicles there illegally. Is that right?
George Loizou: What I was allowed was to park ten cars on half of the property.
Donald Horsley: Under the Use Permit?
George Loizou: Right, which has already been approved to do that. I have more than
one city inspector that came by and said you have ten cars on one side of the building,
and that is what you are allowed. In order for me to park ten cars on half of the lot, that is
where I had to park them to be able to have ten cars. But now, if I get a permit for all the
property, then I'll be able to move everything out of the entrance, and have the opening,
and be able to operate.
Donald Horsley: So you want to use both entrances? Is that what you're telling me?
George Loizou: Yes.
Donald Horsley: Okay. For ingress and egress?
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 9
George Loizou: Right.
Donald Horsley: Okay.
Eddie Bourdon: It is very squeezed with those ten cars on that one little section of the
property. As I was just saying to Ms. Katsias, I think you will see a marked improvement
with this because instead of everything being cramped on to a site that was small to begin
with that the Use Permit was on, now it is going to be able to spread out, and done in a
more professional manner.
Donald Horsley: The vehicles you have gotten off the right-of-way, and that will be
landscaped and all to be upgraded.
Eddie Bourdon: All the landscaping will be upgraded in the right-of-way. There will be
nothing parked in the right-of-way or in the entrance.
Donald Horsley: Okay. Thank you sir.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Waller.
John Waller: I think the conditions as staff stated are at a minimum at least. I think
they're fair and I think they should be complied with but I have a problem. Do I have
anyone to talk to?
Dorothy Wood: Certainly. Mr. Bourdon. You weren't finished. You were still working
sir.
Eddie Bourdon: I'm sorry Mr. Waller. I thought you were going to discuss.
John Waller: It is my understanding that your client has been informed several times to
get those cars out of the right-of-way. How much of this stuff has he done?
Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Waller, I can't speak to the understanding. I'll be more than happy
to let you have that conversation with my client.
John Waller: I'm don't want to get involved with it. I'm just going to vote.
Eddie Bourdon: I spoke with staff.
John Waller: I don't think he has been very cooperative with the city and getting the cars
out of the city right-of-way.
Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Waller, the first I heard about this problem was this morning.
Okay? So, I'm not in a position to defend nor am I standing here defending or even
substantiating allegations because I don't know who's making them. But, I have spoken
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 10
to my client and told him point blank you can't park your cars in the right-of-way. He
tells me that there are not going to be any cars parked in the right-of-way. I have to take
the man of his word. As far as the conditions are concerned, you got a provision in here
that the conditions will be reviewed by Planning Department annual. If you want to
change them to six months, I don't have a problem with that. I think people that agree to
things must abide to what they agree to. I don't have any sympathy or aversion to the
notion that you abide by what you say what you're going to do. So, I'm not going to get
into an argument about it because I don't know who told him or what occasions or how
many times. I just don't have any knowledge of that but I concur with the settlement, and
I do believe that with, and this is not to defend any behavior but the original use permit
for the very small portion of the property was a fairly difficult situation to be able to
operate. It wasn't his Use Permit but he bought knowing what the conditions were. I
think this will at least help to operate in a manner that is consistent with the requirements
of our ordinance.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Macali.
Bill Macali: Just to complicate things further, I need to remind the Commission and
everybody else that it is not just that you can't park cars on the right-of-way. There's got
to be no cars within five feet of the right-of-way.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. We're talking about the right-of-way and it is not just the
right-of-way. Thank you Mr. Macali.
Eddie Bourdon: Where that may have an impact, although you can't tell from the scale,
it certainly isn't going to be an issue over here, which is the area you're talking about. It
may have some impact over here. This is much more than five feet off the property line.
John Waller: I like landscaping in that driveway a whole lot better than concrete.
Eddie Bourdon: Once you landscape this area and this area, and all this area, it is going
to make a dramatic improvement. This is the area that we are suggesting it be left the
same so the appearance in order to know what you're dealing with here is about a quarter
of the total area that we are talking about landscaping.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Ms. Duke, did you talk to the applicant about moving his
car before or did someone from the Planning Department? Faith, could you please
comment on that for us?
Faith Christie: The third Tuesday of May when the staff went on the field trip we
stopped here. A gentleman came out and asked us what we were doing there. I informed
him that he needed to move his cars out of the right-of-way.
Dorothy Wood: Then it was not when we went back out?
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 11
Faith Christie: Right.
Dorothy Wood: And, no it wasn't as of yesterday. Have you seen this in other car
dealerships on the Boulevard?
Faith Christie: Yes.
Dorothy Wood: Would you comment on that at all or tell us about this?
Faith Christie: The zoning inspectors spend a good deal of their time going up and down
Virginia Beach Boulevard telling them to move their cars.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Mr. Horsley has a question for you Mr. Scott.
Donald Horsley: Bob, when this initial Permit was approved in 1995, I think it was, and
it was approved for two years, when he got the property and got the Permit, has this been
administratively reviewed and extended since then?
Robert Scott: Yes. I think we indicated in the write up that is has been reviewed a
number of times since then. I can't find the exact language. I think when this was
approved we have made some administrative review of it and approved it periodically
since then. There have not been any problems except for this repeated problem with is
common, well, I should say that. There are some car dealerships in the city where this is
a problem. This is not a new problem. That is the only problem we've had.
Donald Horsley: It really doesn't make any difference if we want to put a two-year time
limit on this permit. It really doesn't make any difference because if it is a one-year and
it is administrative review and we haven't made any problems it's going to be extended
right?
Robert Scott: That's correct.
Donald Horsley: So it really doesn't matter whether we put a time limit on it or not.
Right?
Robert Scott: Well, I think there should be a time limit on it.
Donald Horsley: That's what I'm getting at. Maybe we need to put a time limit because
Mr. Bourdon has insinuated that this is probably a temporary use anyway for a short
period of time. Maybe we need to put a two or three year time limit on it, and work with
that. When you get down to it, I kind of sympathize. If we're going to do some
landscaping to try to upgrade this property to just go in and arbitrary do away with one
and pardon another one when you got two that probably the business could operate under.
It may be money spent for no real purpose in the end if this property is going to be
redeveloped in three to five years or whatever any. I guess the rationale I'm using.
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 12
Robert Scott: Condition #9 that we are suggesting indicated that yearly administrative
review. Now, what we would do in a case like that is if we found that there was some
problems, we would have them come back to you through this process. In all fairness,
the magnitude of problems that we've seen are not nearly that. But, we do want to
continue to draw attention to that one problem that we talked about. Other than that, I
think if you were to agree to Condition #9 that would be acceptable.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: I got a couple. Am I to understand that if you were to be allowed to
have two entrances to remain as they are now, that you would have an entrance and an
exit to this property?
Eddie Bourdon: We would be happy to try to do that Mr. Crabtree: I don't know
personally of whether that works so well. I guess you can put little directional signs up
saying "entrance only" and "exit only." I don't have any problem with it.
Eugene Crabtree: My second question is to the staff. If that were to occur, would there
be any objection to leaving the two entrances?
Robert Scott: You're not going to be in compliance with an exit only and an entrance
only.
Eddie Bourdon: I tend to share Mr. Scott's belief that where there is a way to get in they
are going to get in. If you look at the application, and when I filed this application, we
stated right in the application that we are amenable to a time limitation. So, some where
three years, four years or five years. We're fine with a time limit because this truly is a
temporary use, and that is why we're here, and that is why I'm handling the application.
It makes sense on a temporary basis to try to clean up the situation, and try to make it
better maybe not perfect. My client indicated to me, and I'll be happy to let him talk if
you care too. I don't know if it is all that important. He indicates that the inspectors, and
he has some conversation with the inspector concerning this period with the ten -car limit
that it may be of some help. The point is as explicitly as I can, if there is a violation from
this point forward, I think the Use Permit should be pulled as far as I'm concerned. It's
black and white. If you put this condition on this application, that's his application on his
property, not some property that he bought from someone else that had conditions on it, I
think you've done, as a Commission, all that you could do or certainly done a significant
amount towards all that you can do to make sure that the operation comes into
compliance.
Dorothy Wood: Yes, Mr. Macali.
Bill Macali: As long as we're talking about that condition and because of the code
requires a five foot setback, Condition #6 should say, I guess right at the top of Page 4,
the first thing on the page just add the words "five feet of," so it would read "no vehicles
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 13
shall be parked or displayed within five feet of or any portion of the pubic right-of-way."
That would conform the provision of the City's Zoning Ordinance and it would be
obvious preferable to having the two be different.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you very much. We appreciate it.
William Din: I would like to make a motion to approve the application as stated with the
conditions as stated with modified Condition #6 to state, "within five feet of or any
portion of the public right-of-way."
Dorothy Wood: Do I hear a second?
Robert Miller: Second.
Robert Miller: A second by Mr. Miller. Mr. Ripley.
Ronald Ripley: Just one comment. The applicant is insinuating they would put a time
limit. I don't like to see time limits on Conditional Use Permits because I think it could
affect their financing if that was part of a bank looking at a loan. But, by putting a time
limit on them, there are a lot of changes occurring in this area. If the Commission five
years from now or so may see another use that would be more applicable then renewing a
Conditional Use Permit or maybe they would want to renew it on an annual basis or
something of that effect or tie in more with the overall Comprehensive Plan of that area.
So a time limit, if the applicant is willing to accept it, I think it is acceptable, if that is
what he's saying.
Dorothy Wood: As Number #10. Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: I guess I should have been more direct. If we can avoid spending
significant amount of monies we're willing to do the time limit, which I think in the long
run, I think everyone is better off.
Dorothy Wood: I think the motion on the floor and with a second. Do you want to put
that as Condition #10 or what?
Bill Macali: You can put a substitute motion.
Ronald Ripley: If I put a substitute motion in, I think it would accomplish what I spoke
to. I don't think it is going to accomplish what the applicant wishes and that is not to
spend the money.
Dorothy Wood: What would your substitute motion be Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: My substitute motion would be that the Conditional Use Permit be for a
period of five years.

Dorothy Wood: Is that okay with you with the substitute? I'm not sure.
Bill Macali: Madame Chairman, the substitute motion really doesn't require approval of
the maker of the original motion. If the substitute motion gets a second, you can just go
ahead and vote on it.
Dorothy Wood: Is there a second to the substitute motion?
Joseph Strange: I have a question. Are you talking about removing 3A & B?
Ronald Ripley: I didn't say that.
Dorothy Wood: They stay.
Barry Knight: I basically have the same question for Ron. If you made a substitute
motion, would you make it with Item #10 as five years but if you had that in there, would
you not make a modified eastern entrance, and not make them move the western
entrance. That is what they're getting at. That is what they are agreeing to or would like
to see happen. I didn't know if that is what your substitute motion was or was not?
Ronald Ripley: No. My substitute motion was just to simply add Number #10.
Dorothy Wood: Is there a second to his substitute motion?
Joseph Strange: I have one more question.
Dorothy Wood: I'm sorry. Mr. Strange.
Joseph Strange: So, how is that going to help him get what he wants if we don't take
away those two conditions? I mean he is still going to have to spend the money.
Dorothy Wood: Do we have a second to the substitute motion? Ms. Katsias seconded
the substitute motion. Do we vote on the substitute motion first or the second?
Robert Miller: You only vote on one.
Dorothy Wood: Would you please repeat the motion that we're voting on Mr. Ripley.
Ronald Ripley: That the Conditional Use Permit be for a period of five years, Number
#10.
Joseph Strange: I'm sorry. I just don't quite understand here. We're going to put in
another condition. How is this going to affect what we are doing? If we're going to keep
all the conditions why don't we leave it in because he is going to have to do all the work
he objects to anyway.
Item #4
G & A Properties, L.L.C.
Page 15
Ronald Ripley: My rationale was that the applicant is willing to limit it to five years or
three years, or whatever. Given the changes that are occurring in this area that it would
provide more flexibility to the city to meet its Comprehensive Plan in the future because
of the changes that are occurring in that particular area. That is the only reason.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Horsley.
Donald Horsley: I agree with your rationale there. I think it should be a shorter period of
time. I think it should be three years, and take out those two criteria. It gives the
applicant a little something to lean on that he doesn't have to spend that amount of money
to do that, and it is going to be a shorter term of operation.
Ronald Ripley: Okay. I'll withdraw my motion.
Donald Horsley: Can I amend a motion?
Dorothy Wood: I don't know. I'm just so confused now.
Donald Horsley: Can I amend the motion?
Bill Macali: Mr. Ripley made a substitute motion.
Dorothy Wood: Yes sir. It has been seconded.
Bill Macali: It has been seconded.
Ronald Ripley: Do you want it voted on?
Bill Macali: If the body allows by consent to withdraw its substitute motion. Once the
motion has been made and seconded.
Dorothy Wood: Can we vote on it and go back?
Bill Macali: You can or you can just go ahead and agree by consent to withdraw.
Robert Miller: Do we have another substitute motion?
Bill Macali: No. Take action on this one. You can allow that to be withdrawn by
consent of the body. If you just vote to allow Mr. Ripley's substitute motion to be
withdrawn, then you can go ahead and make a new substitute motion. It's all
Parliamentary.
Dorothy Wood: Would you please take the Chair until we get done with this?
Bill Macali: You really don't have to vote necessarily. You can all vote by consent.

Dorothy Wood: Okay. Did you hear him? Good everyone agrees. Great. Thank you.
Okay. Now, where are we?
Bill Macali: A new substitute motion can be made.
Dorothy Wood: I thought Mr. Miller said he had something to say first.
Donald Horsley: Okay. I'm going to make another substitute motion that we approve the
application, removing 3B & D, and adding "five feet" to Number #6, and Number #10 be
three years for the length of the permit.
Ronald Ripley: Second.
Dorothy Wood: A motion by Mr. Horsley and a second by Mr. Miller and Mr. Knight.
Donald Horsley: You got two seconds.
Dorothy Wood: Yes sir. Might as well. Is the vote open?

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Shore Drive Auto Sales — Conditional Use Permit (motor vehicle sales)
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2005
■ Background:
An Ordinance upon Application of Shore Drive Auto Sales for a Conditional Use
Permit for motor vehicle sales on property located at 4510 Shore Drive (GPIN
14796745580000). DISTRICT 4 — BAYSIDE
■ Considerations:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site
for motor vehicle sales. The site currently contains a convenience store, car
wash and gasoline pumps and has been vacant for several years.
The applicant proposes rehabilitation of the exterior of the buildings with Exterior
Insulated Finishing System (E.I.F.S.). The applicant also plans to raise the roof
from the current flat roof to a pitched roof with dormers and gables. The gables
will be dressed in cedar shakes or Hardi-plank siding. The roof will be finished
with architectural grade shingles. Proposed colors will be cream, beige and
brown or grays and white. The accessory car wash building will also be
rehabilitated to complement the proposed sales building.
Proposed site work includes removal of the gas pumps and canopy, closure of
the entrance on Shore Drive closest to the intersection, removal of the existing
nonconforming freestanding sign, and installation of parking lot landscaping and
screening and buffering adjacent to the northern and western property lines. The
applicant proposes a six-foot high fence with dwarf ligustrum shrubs along the
northern property line. A mix of evergreen trees is proposed along the western
property line. The street frontage landscaping will include a mixture of live oaks
and Indian hawthorne shrubs. A decorative berm is proposed at the intersection
of Shore Drive and Greenwell Drive. A mixture of decorative grasses and shrubs
are proposed for the berm.
The proposed sales operation will be Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 8:00
PM; the business will be closed on Sundays. The applicant proposes the use of
low-level security lighting during non -business hours.
The proposal is in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan, Shore Drive Corridor
Plan and Shore Drive Corridor Design Guidelines recommendations for this area.
Shore Drive Auto Sales

The Comprehensive Plan policies established for the Shore Drive Corridor focus
on preserving, protecting and enhancing the character, environmental quality and
economic value of the adjacent neighborhoods. The development provisions
offered with this request regarding site redesign and redevelopment,
rehabilitation of the buildings, removal of the non -conforming free-standing sign,
enhanced site landscaping and screening, reduced traffic generation, and safe
and efficient vehicular access and circulation conform to the recommendations in
the Shore Drive Design Guidelines. The provisions also provide the necessary
assurances that this redevelopment will enhance the adjacent mixed -use
community far more than the majority of commercial uses that could use this site
by -right without review by the City Council. These provisions collectively promote
the desired level of development quality the Comprehensive Plan policies and
the Shore Drive Design Guidelines encourage and seek to achieve in this
corridor.
There was opposition to the request.

The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as being within COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Primary Residential Area (Shore Drive Corridor, Site 1). Land use plan policies and principles for the
Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic
value, and aesthetic quality of the surrounding stable neighborhoods. Primary Residential Areas are
planned for relatively low density, suburban -type growth that includes residential as well as some
commercial and office uses. The established type, size, and relationship of land use, both residential and
non-residential, located in and around these neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering
development or redevelopment. Shore Drive has emerged as one of the City's most -prized road corridors,
mainly because of its function as a resort gateway, its economic vitality status, its critical environmental
importance, and the positive relationship it fosters between its residential and commercial land use
components.

Shore Drive Auto Sales
Conditional Use Permit
4510 Shore Drive
District 4
Bayside
May 11, 2005
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is Item #5, Shore Drive Auto Sales. An ordinance upon
application of Shore Drive Auto Sales for a Conditional Use Permit for motor vehicle
sales on property located at 4510 Shore Drive, District 4, Bayside, with eight conditions.
Jeff Maynard: Thank you, Mr. Strange. Good afternoon Ms. Wood and members of the
Planning Commission. Thank you for having us. My name is Jeff Maynard. My
business address for the record is 222 Central Park Avenue, Suite 2000 in Virginia
Beach. I'm the attorney for the applicant, Shore Drive Auto Sales, for a Conditional Use
Permit for motor vehicle sales at 4510 Shore Drive. I don't have any substitute motions
thankfully. To make three basic points with respect to the application today, first is that
my client is proposing redeveloping an old Texaco site that's been abandoned for about
two years. So we think that is a pretty good improvement. The second point is that we
feel that the proposal conforms with the Shore Drive Design Guidelines that impact the
site. And three, I would like to focus that what we envision this application is as an
interim use. I'll get in to what I mean in a little bit. But also subject to a Use Permit that
has lots of conditions that I think go far and beyond what most motor vehicle dealers
have been required to do in the city in terms of addressing compatibility issues with the
area. In terms of redevelopment, you have the pictures of the existing site. It's an old
Texaco station. There is little or no landscaping on site. Until last week, there was this
canopy and a nonconforming pylon sign structure on the site. The buildings, as you can
see are a large square flat buildings, steel colored, that have been abandoned, and haven't
been kept up very well over the last couple of years. There are two existing entrances
along Shore Drive, and by right the last time this was a service station this site would
have generated approximately 1,200 vehicle trips a day. My client is proposing, and has
already removed the canopy and the nonconforming sign, is proposing a new
development that we feel complies with the Shore Drive Advisory Guidelines. We
presented the application to the Shore Drive Advisory Committee and also worked very
carefully with the staff for several months on this, and believe the site conforms. My
client has proposed using the existing buildings on the site, but upgrading them
significantly. The upgrades that they're proposing are putting a residential style roof on
the building. So instead of a flat roof design we've got a good roof both on the former
Texaco convenience and the former carwash. The building materials will be EIFS on the
bottom and cedar shake or hardi plank on the top where the canopies and the dormers are,
and the former carwash structure will be renovated to match. In terms of building colors,
my client has not proposed yellow, our architect was not friendly to us. The building will
be either gray or neutral in color with the porch features. The eaves will be white vinyl.
Item #5
Shore Drive Auto Sales
Page 2
My client proposes keeping the existing car wash building, but it is no longer going to
have the mechanical device in there that it used to have. What he is proposing is to use it
for at this point for detailing his inventory. There is not going to be any kind of
automobile repair or anything like that in the building. It is just a detail inventory and
prep it for sale. He intends to resurface the parking lot, which is in desperate need of
repair, and then install landscaping along Shore Drive. You can see he has the street
frontage landscaping, additional landscaping along the west side, on Northampton
Boulevard side. On the rear there is a depilated white wooden fence that is in desperate
need of replacement. He has agreed to install a white vinyl fence with some landscaping
there. The property behind us is zoned B-2. It used to be an antique store. It's occupied
as a residence, but he felt that it would accommodate the needs of the existing residence
next door. On the corner, he has proposed a three-foot earth berm that matches the earth
berm at the convenience store across Greenwell Road did. The site has a significant
upgrade in terms of coming into compliance, we think, with the guidelines. The third of
my points deal with use. I mentioned earlier that we consider this an interim use. And by
that, I'm not suggesting that it is temporary or that we want a condition that would limit
the use to five or six years. But what we have been advised by the Planning staff, and
everyone along the way is that the city, at some point, envisioned improvements along
the Shore Drive Corridor as well as making improvements to the Northampton Boulevard
ramp there, which will basically result in the taking of this site. So, at this point, we
don't know if this is going to in the next five years or the next ten years, but we consider
it kind of an interim use. It takes the old Texaco site that's been vacant for two years,
renovates it, upgrades it, and brings it into compliance with the design components of the
Shore Drive Guidelines, and puts the site back into use. There is another aspect of use,
and that is the conditions that my client has agreed to, and in fact mostly proposed to deal
with some of the things you mentioned with the applicant before us. I understand our
problems with other car dealerships. A big one is site lighting. My client is proposing,
and he has a condition that requires him after hours, and his hours will end at 8:00,
Monday thru Saturday, the lighting will turn to a low-level security light. It will not
interfere with the neighbors. You won't have the old, I guess with the gasoline canopy.
It looks like a space ship these days when you drive by those at night. He's not proposing
anything of that nature. I already addressed the signage. He is going to update the sign
and make it a monument style sign. He's not going to have any banners or streamers or
balloons or pennants littering the site. One of the items too, the display area that is
shown on the site plan is where he intends to display the vehicles. He has agreed to a
limitation of no more than 65 vehicles within that area. And the concern there was we
heard from some of the residents, and I believe it was Mr. Knight was concerned as well,
that he didn't want the cars packed into closely. I've checked with our engineering firm
who has helped us very much with this site plan, and with 65 cars that should allow for
adequate space, and design so people can walk around the cars and visit them instead of
being tightly packed in like you see some of the automobile dealerships do. We've also
agreed to an administrative review of this application every one year. The citizens have
expressed some concern in this area. My client fully intends to comply with the
conditions which he has agreed to, and welcomes the administrative review, and hopes
that is going to be a good relationship. The employee and customer parking I should
Item #5
Shore Drive Auto Sales
Page 3
point out as well is in front of the old carwash structure. Those will be striped and that is
the area designated for that purpose. It allows good traffic circulation for people who
want to come in and leave, and test-drive the vehicles. So because of the redevelopment
efforts what we think is pretty much an eyesore at this point, and has been for two years,
and we think it complies with the corridor guidelines for design purposes. We look at
this as an interim use that is subject to what I think is pretty strict conditions on this
motor vehicle sale operation. We would ask for your approval and recommendation to
City Council. We also like to thank the staff for their help. They have been, quite -a -help
in getting us this far.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks Jeff. That could be a service station again, could it not without
even coming here?
Jeff Maynard: Yes. It could be a service station. It could be a bar, restaurant, a
convenience store, all those different things.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks Jeff. Could you answer any questions please? Ron.
Ronald Ripley: Mr. Maynard, did your client consider any other uses of this site other
than a car lot?
Jeff Maynard: I believe he bought this site with the intention of locating the dealership
there. I'm aware, and in fact was involved with a deal that was the back up purchase that
did involve another use, and that was not motor vehicle sales. That was a convenience
store without gas facilities that wouldn't have required the level of upgrades. It's not
often and I don't usually like to make the argument of what could go there by right
without having something to back it up. I was actually very familiar with what would be
the reality on this site had the other purchasers who was working with Texaco on the sale
of the property. It didn't involve the level of upgrades that my client is proposing.
Ronald Ripley: You mentioned that you think the property could be taken in the future.
What do you base that on?
Jeff Maynard: We understand that the proposal for Shore Drive can ultimately widen it
to six lanes and that the alignment if the Northampton Boulevard ramp is redesigned
would impact and basically cut off the entire western side of that property including the
building.
Ronald Ripley: Can you see plans of such?
Jeff Maynard: I haven't. I got that information from staff when we were working during
the review process.
Ronald Ripley: Because the plans I've seen and I don't recall seeing that. I think I've
seen a little bit of need along Shore Drive, maybe a little bit off the western end of the

property but for the most part, the urban interchange that at least as been preliminary laid
into Shore Drive, I believe would take this property. That wouldn't certainly mean that
use couldn't change in the future as the demand changes down there.
Jeff Maynard: I apologize. My understanding of it has been that he plans would
basically result in the taking of the site, but again those plans are not definite. We don't
know if it would be five or ten years from now.
Ronald Ripley: I have a question about the elevations and the materials again that you
mentioned. Is there any exposed salt treated wood that is going to seen or is all of that
going to be wrapped vinyl. Tell me about that because that is something we're trying to
avoid is the look of exposed wood.
Jeff Maynard: Right. The columns that are proposed are wrapped in vinyl as well as the
eaves on the roof portions. So everything that would ordinary be wood would be
wrapped in white vinyl. Most likely on the tops of the building, he is going to use the
hardi plank, which I think is more durable over time and easier to maintain for that same
reason.
Ronald Ripley: I've asked you this question a couple of times, and I'll ask it again for
the public record. Would your applicant consider closing the curb cut on Shore Drive?
Jeff Maynard: We initially considered this various way. We initially proposed the
application to close the entrance that is shown as open, and keeping open the one that is
shown as closed. At one point we considered, and I think my client would maybe agree
to close both of them but the comment that we got was that would cause some traffic
stacking for folks who were coming out of Greenwell Road making the right turn on
Shore Drive. They thought that intersection is congested enough, and I guess there was a
Wawa application recently approved where they agreed to a similar condition that caused
similar problems along Shore Drive. I think my client would do that. In fact, it would
probably increase his display area on the number of vehicles he would like to sell there,
but we thought that this alignment made more sense in terms of circulation if someone
wants to pull in and drive out and then do the right onto Shore Drive.
Ronald Ripley: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions for Mr. Maynard? Thanks Jeff.
Jeff Maynard: Thank you Ms. Wood.
Joseph Strange: Okay. In opposition, we have Leslie Cornwell with the Baylake Pines
Civic League.
Dorothy Wood: Welcome. We're glad you are with us.
Item #5

Leslie Cornwell: Thank you. Good afternoon. Ms. Wood and members of the Planning
Commission, I'm Leslie Cornwell, the President of the Baylake Pines Civic League. I'm
here representing our neighborhood and opposing the Conditional Use Permit for the
Shore Drive Auto Sales. Our community is growing increasingly concerned with the
development on Shore Drive. The city has spent thousands of dollars and studies to
develop a Comprehensive Plan for the Shore Drive Corridor. I noticed in Faith Christie's
report that she discussed under the heading of Comprehensive Plan, she stated that Shore
Drive has emerged as one of the City's most prize road corridors because of its function
as a resort gateway, gateway to the Beach, one of the city's most prized road corridors.
When tourist turn onto Shore Drive the first thing they see is the sign that states 81
individuals have lost their lives on this road. Then we have an automotive towing
company, a used car lot, a carwash, and a pool hall. This is just on the right hand side.
Where's the charm in all of this? It has become a real problem to the adjacent homes and
surrounding neighborhoods. Our once quiet residential bay front community is beginning
to look more like Virginia Beach Boulevard. This kind of development is not in keeping
with the vision for Shore Drive. Shore Drive Auto Sales will be the fourth used car lot in
a mile stretch in this area on Shore Drive. The ULI and the Shore Drive Corridor Plan do
not identify used car dealerships as recommended business establishments that fit the
local flavor of Shore Drive. In fact, it is recommended that parking lots should be located
to the side and or behind the main building to have a less negative visual impact on the
street. But yet he is proposing at least 65 cars right directly there in front. A brightly
illuminated lot would adversely impact the adjacent residential community if auto dealers
cannot be restricted all along Shore Drive, they should at least be prohibited on lots
adjacent to residential zoning. Traffic flow at this location is challenging several times a
day because of the large volume of cars entering and exiting Northampton Boulevard.
Any development at this location really needs to have minimal traffic so it is not to add
to the already difficult situation.
Dorothy Wood: Excuse me. Your three minutes are up. Can you just wrap it up pretty
quickly for us?
Leslie Cornwell: Sure. Basically what I'm coming back with is the community who
feels that the city really feel that this is a prize corridor and a gateway for the resort, and
there is this wonderful Comprehensive Plan. We're just not seeing it done. We are
seeing what should be a beautiful bay front, residential community turning into
something that we absolutely aren't happy with.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks. Would you mind answering any questions if there are any for
her? Does anyone have a question? Thank you so much. We appreciate you coming
down.
Leslie Cornwell: Thank you very much.
Ronald Ripley: Let me ask something.
Item #5
Shore Drive Auto Sales
Page 6
Dorothy Wood: I'm sorry. Mr. Ripley does have one.
Ronald Ripley: Leslie, the parking to the front is something that, and you are right, the
guidelines speak to that, and that is a good thing to do. This is a redevelopment. In order
for them to do that they need to tear down the building and move to the front, so this is a
redevelopment. I guess it is a little bit of different twist. Are you referring to the
property being adjacent to residential? There is a residential house next door but I think
we heard this morning in the informal that it is zoned B-2, the property is located directly
behind it. Are you aware of that?
Leslie Cornwell: Yes. Right along the fence is actually more or less a driveway to what
used to be the old antique store, but that is all residential back there. There is no
commercial going on at those locations. It is very close. It would be like my property
starting here and there is a small roadway between my property and the fence, so the
lighting could be a real issue. I mean I know we have to worry about just locally in our
residents on our streets how bright just the streetlights are because it upsets people.
Ronald Ripley: Okay. Thank you.
Leslie Cornwell: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: We appreciate it.
Joseph Strange: Next we have Brad Martin.
Dorothy Wood: Hello Mr. Martin. Welcome.
Brad Martin: Good afternoon. Thank you all for having me. My name is Brad Martin. I
live in Baylake Pines, and we are not the immediate neighborhood community adjacent to
this development but we are the next one on Shore Drive. Just to echo a little bit of the
opposition you already heard, this looks like a nice development. It is certainly probably
already better than what is there now, a closed down Texaco station. It also is pretty
compatible to what is across the street from it and diagonal. There is an auto repair
facility. There is another used car lot, and there is a gas station on that same intersection
but quite frankly, I don't think that is the standard to be judged by, whether it is better
than what was before or whether is compatible to what's immediately adjacent to it.
There seems to me to be a real disconnect between the potential approval of development
projects like this one when you look at the long range vision for Shore Drive. Like Leslie
said, the prize gateway to the resort area, a gateway to the City and it is the first thing that
the visitors see. Notwithstanding the existing uses that are out there now, a used car lot
doesn't aesthetically fit what should, I think the vision for all of Shore Drive. The city is
in the middle of a three million dollar roadway improvement project, a beautification
project, and quite frankly, I don't think a used car lot fits into that scheme. A used car
lot, I think more of Military Highway and Virginia Beach Boulevard then I think of Shore
Drive. The applicant made a very specific statement about the design guidelines of the
Item #5
Shore Drive Auto Sales
Page 7
Land Use Study. I think to me speaks to landscaping and parking spaces, and the
distance from the right-of-way, but I think what we really need to look at is aesthetics and
use, and how that figures in with what the long range goal of Shore Drive is. Quite
frankly, I think somebody has to put their foot down and deny an application like this.
Dorothy Wood: What would you like to see there sir?
Brad Martin: That is a great question. I would say some compatible uses would be
something like the Leaping Lizard gift shop is right down the road from this. Some thing
at Thoroughood Commons, the little strips that are there, unique shops, interesting
eateries, Taste Unlimited, something like that. I quite frankly think maybe a high -end
nice fast food restaurant would be better than a used car lot.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you sir. Are there any questions? Thank you very much.
Brad Martin: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Also speaking in opposition is Dorinda Ennis.
Dorrinda Ennis: Good afternoon Ms. Wood and members of the Council. I am the
representative of the shore Drive Community Coalition. We represent 20 civic leagues in
the Shore Drive area. I'm also a resident of 3556 on the Bay Condominium. Seven years
ago when the ULI report we had great expectations for Shore Drive. Today, there is
unfortunately massive dissolution, and you see it because this room isn't full. This is not
because people don't care about what is going on at this place. They do care very much,
but they feel their time would be wasted because nobody is listening. That is
unfortunately the state of affairs. I'm an optimist by nature, but even I have been
challenged in this Shore Drive program for beautification. I've been Chairman of the
Beautification Committee at the Coalition for several years, and it has just been one delay
after another. The Shore Drive Community Coalition has successfully fought to maintain
Shore Drive's four lanes by defeating the drive for six -lane roadway. We are now
fighting for commercial integrity of the area. We do not feel that another auto sales in
this area, is an appropriate use of the land. Even though it is attractive. You're not even
going to be able see it because there is going to be 65 cars parked in front. This is
something that is in violation of the Planning Commission's own guidelines in terms of
hiding the cars, they are not a visual thing in our face all the time. Apparently, Norfolk
government is cleaning up the Little Creek area, and they are discouraging used car lots,
and what's happening is the same thing that is happening on Shore Drive a number of
years ago when Norfolk cleaned up their area and said the go-go dancers to us, well the
used car lots are coming down to us too. Like Mr. Martin said it is time to put our foot
down and say no. We already have two in the area. We will be hosting a workshop in
June to work on commercial overlay, our request, and appropriate businesses for this lot,
for example, and other uses along Shore Drive. I would like to second as to what Mr.
Martin said about appropriate uses. We have several things that have just grownup
recently. There is a development at 3772 Shore Drive across from the Browning Marine.
Item #5

The Albamarle Shops, which is a wonderful example of what Shore Drive, could look
like. Thank you very much for your time.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions? We are listening to you. Mrs. Katsias and Mr.
Ripley spend a great deal of time working with the Shore Drive Coalition. They certainly
are interested and are listening.
Dorrinda Ennis: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any questions? Thank you
Joseph Strange: Our next speaker is Dan Creeden.
Dorrinda Ennis: Unfortunately, Mr. Creeden had to go to a cardiac appointment. He will
be unable to be with us.
Joseph Strange: Okay. Thank you. That concludes the speakers.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Maynard, you have a few minutes for rebuttal.
Jeff Maynard: Yes. Thank you. I'll make it brief. I made my major points earlier. But
in terms of visibility, I just did want to point out that we did concern ourselves with that
as well. Mr. Ripley is correct short of moving the building, which was an expensive
operation. That is not something that my client wanted to do. But we have installed a
three-foot berm with landscaping. We will provide some visible screening of the cars if
you are headed westward along Shore Drive. One of the opponents mentioned something
about traffic. I would like to point out that as a convenience store or gas facility, the trip
generations would be in excess of 1, 200 daily trips. For motor vehicle sales the city's
number on that is 84 trips. So, we have taken that into account as well.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Maynard. Are there any questions? Comments?
Discussion? Let's start down here. Mr. Waller. Ms. Katsias.
Kathy Katsias: I have to commend Mr. Maynard and the applicant. I think they have
done a beautiful job in transforming a Texaco station that has been vacant for two years
with the wonderful site plan. As far as residents of Shore Drive, I think this application
probably is much better than a gas station or a fast food. Therefore, I'm going to support
the application.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Horsley.
Donald Horsley: I don't have a whole lot to add other than we select these areas that we
think are gateways to our cities or to our communities, and we know we would like for
them be there, but the irony is that the city doesn't own all this property so it can't really
dictate exactly what's got to be put there. The property owners have certain rights and
Item #5
Shore Drive Auto Sales
Page 9
whatever, so the zoning is there, and that is kind of our job here is to decide whether we
think this will fit, and we try to do things like landscaping and buffers and whatever to
protect communities even though it may not be the utopia that we all look for. That is
just the way it is right now. Hopefully one day we will have this beautiful gateway that
everybody would like to have but we maybe this will look like part of the gateway
compared to what some of the other stuff you got along there is. Hopefully it won't be a
permanent thing that we are going to see in 10-15 years from now. Like I said, I go along
with Ms. Katsias. I'm going to support the application.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Strange.
Joseph Strange: I don't have a lot to add. I can surely see both sides of this. When you
think of a gateway, I have to admit, I don't think of a used car lot either. But I think
we're faced with conditions that we have that it is zoned and by right there are certain
businesses that can go in there that quite frankly, I don't think would be as flattering as
this one right here is. I say right this minute that I'm thinking about supporting the
application for lack of an alternative.
Dorothy Wood: I certainly understand also what the residents are saying. I did not know
there was a sign when you drive into Virginia Beach saying that 81 people have been
killed. I think that is kind of unusual. Welcome to our City. Mr. Ripley.
Ronald Ripley: This is kind of an interesting application because when the
Comprehensive Plan as amended with the Shore Drive plan and the guidelines were
adopted, the idea of the guidelines were to develop. Well the plan was to create what the
corridor should look like, landscaping, like you see on the site plan, tied in with an
overall plan. The guidelines were intended to create a sense of place or unique
architectural blend of the resort residential area with the roadway. And, I think the
applicant has and it is unfortunate and that the applicant has really worked very hard to
do that, and he has, in my mind has done that. He has reached the antenna and I respect
what Ms. Cornwell brought up, and the parking should be in the front. In this case of a
redevelopment, it is just not a practical thing to do. He is putting landscaping in the
middle of his property. I guess that is where the tanks were but really the issue is the use.
I don't think it's the appearance. Maybe some of the cars are affected but it's the use
itself, I think is the obvious objection. If we talked about the use and you look at the
carwash the redevelopment of the Burger King that was turned into a carwash, I did not
have anybody come down to object to that. I don't recall. It turned out to be a real nice
addition. I'm hoping that this type of feel on this particular property does the same thing.
I went last night and pulled out my Urban Land Institute (ULI Study) that everybody
started on with this whole plan, and it definitely says the gateway is critical. This is in
the entrance of the gateway so the appearance of it is really important. The use of it, I'm
not finding anything in here that talks about use it gets too talking about retail use. For
example, it talks about retail, commercial, and development, and it kind of sets forth that
the area is basically is set up for strip retail, and that's the case today. There are a few
properties oriented towards the water. It talks about budget brand, local operations the
Item #5
Shore Drive Auto Sales
Page 10
motels that are in the area, and restaurants. But when it talks about retail it says there is
no critical mass of established retail within the corridor and local residents routinely
travel out of the study area to shop. That pattern really hasn't changed a whole lot, I
don't think. Do you think that, Bob? I think generally speaking the predominate retail
activities are not occurring in this area.
Robert Scott: Yeah. I think that's true. The changes that have occurred in this area in the
last few years, since that study have been largely positive. In other words, they were
given an "A" for everyone of those efforts. I don't think I would. It's better than it was
there. I think there is a lot to be done. I think you will see in this coming year, at
tomorrow's Shore Drive Advisory Meeting, Clay Bernick is going to make some
statements to how much is going to be happening in the next year in terms of city's
expenditures in the corridor. There is a significant commitment there. I think you need
to balance a number of things. This, to my eye, this particular site right here today is one
of two or three worse looking sites on all of Shore Drive. It's truly an eyesore today. It
has been that way for some time. I think you are taking a piece of property that is way
down the scale and moving it up closer to the middle of the scale. I'm kind of like Joe
Strange on this subject. I would rather see something significantly better than a used car
lot there. Quite frankly, it dictates that what you are getting is a significant improvement
over the eyesore that is there right now for the short term at least, that is a better situation.
After this, you are going to have to look at that eyesore for a long time.
Ronald Ripley: I think the intent of the road corridor plan and landscaping plan, and the
design guidelines was to set the plan out from the public, and a combination of
public/private money basically in the long run solve the issues but make the corridor what
we want it to look like. This is a private part of that solution. They are actually spending
money in redeveloping this site. People in the area are frustrated as the Shore Drive
Advisory Committee is frustrated, but I think you have to be patient from the standpoint
that the demonstration project, which I reviewed those plans very thoroughly, and that is
a demonstration project from Treasure House to Marlin Bay, which is just in that Taste
Unlimited area up to the Browning Marine location. That is going to be a very
sophisticated, very nice plan that is going to be occurring. Last night the City Council
approved inside the Capital Improvement Plan. Bob, how much did they approve for the
design of this stretch. It is actually beyond Northampton up to Treasure House. How
much was that? Do you recall?
Robert Scott: I think all the things, but not just that, but all of them, and I think Clay is
going to have a report for you tomorrow. He told me that it was going to be in the
neighborhood of seven million dollars just for this next coming year that the city is
preparing to spend.
Ronald Ripley: I got to tell you. I've wrestled with this, and I've been out and looked at
the site and thought about it, and read the report. I think the staff probably did the same
thing. They probably wrestled with this pretty hard. I know Bob did. I'm supportive of
the staff's position on it, and I agree with Kathy.

May 11, 2005
Dear Chairman Woods and Esteemed Commissioners,
My community is located in the Northwest Beach Area of the City and the League represents
approximately 110 households. We proudly include a number of military personnel within our
community. Although we are not adjacent to Shore Drive we feel it effects the neighborhood as it is
a corridor and gateway path into Virginia Beach.
Do we want the visitors to the Navy Base or visitors coming into the cityfrom the Bay Bridge to have
a first impression of row after row of used car lots advertising - "we give credit to E-1 and up"? Do'
we really need another car lot along that corridor? Let's take a lesson from Norfolk and not let the
Shore Drive "Base Corridor" get junked up with .used car lots and seedy bars - What is next for that
area a tattoo parlor?
We are aware the Baylake Pines Civic League is not in support of this project and we support their
efforts to keep the Shore Drive Corridor a pleasingly and welcoming gateway for residents and
visitors to our city. Therefore we must stand with Baylake Pines and say we do not support this
proposed plan. We feel there is enough Auto Sale Places.
Thank you for the opportunity to be heard.

Subject: Planning Commission May 11 Agenda Item #5 - Shore Drive Auto Sales
Dear Planning Commission and City Staff,
On behalf of the Shore Drive Community Coalition (SDCC), I would like to express our
concerns regarding the proposed construction of Shore Drive Auto Sales - Agenda Item #5.
Based on discussions among the SDCC member organizations, the subject application should
be denied for the following reasons:
The quality of life along Shore Drive will be jeopardized by having 5 dealerships (3
existing and 2 proposed) within a 4 mile stretch. Approval of this type will result in Shore
Drive becoming another Virginia Beach Boulevard.
The ULI and Shore Drive Corridor Plan do not identify used car dealerships as
recommended business establishments that fit the local flavor of Shore Drive.
A brightly illuminated lot would adversely impact the adjacent residential community. If
auto dealers can't be restricted all along Shore Drive, they should at least be prohibited
on lots adjacent to residential zoning
It is no secret that the City is spending millions of dollars to study and improve the Shore Drive
Corridor. City Council has recent recommend the accelerated funding for the engineering
study to implement a demonstration project at this particular intersection. Your approval of any
business that doesn't reflect the City and Community suggested "Gateway to Virginia Beach"
appearance would deter from the ultimate goal of beautification for Shore Drive. The
development that eventually is approved for this site needs to be one that leaves a lasting
impression on travelers that they are arriving and departing and exceptional area, Virginia
Beach's Shore Drive.
The construction of a used car dealership does not convey this collective goal. It would result
in another corridor common to the rest of everyday America. Please consider the future of
Shore Drive and its communities and deny this application.
Sincerely,
Todd Solomon
Shore Drive Community Coalition - President

Re: Shore Drive Auto Sales
Application Conditional Use Permit
Permit
I am extremely angry that anyone would consider another auto
car sales on this side of the street. We already have a large
car sales on this side of the street. To put another right beside
the first is unconscionable. If I gave friends and, family
direction to say house, I would say on the left hand side of the
street there are 2 auto sales businesses. We are directly behind
them.. Undesirable People have moved in here along with high
crime -How could you even consider given anyone a Conditional Use
Permit? You would not act in our best interest.
I live in North Beach Condos on West Sail bane, We have a
small mini mall outside this compound. Businesses dox�.'t stay long
because are are on the wrong side of the street. The Mini Mall was
built in taste. Placing yet another Auto Sales would make this
area look like a junk yard. I lived here for 18
originally a Drive In Movie. For the Years. This was
yearn ou
Shore Drive looks like we live on a highway econgested withra of
bunch of business.our property would be devalued once again.
Shame on you for even trying to consider the people who live
here.
On our side is a Walgreen on the corner of Shore Drive and
Pleasure House Road, Next up is a Auto Sales Business, I canft
go on my morning Walk without hearing vulgarities from the Auto
Sales. I mould think we should be taken into consideration, on
the opposite side of the street is Krogers, Video Place, Auto
Parts store, tend Sayside Shell.
In additional a new car sales would bring undesired people and
more crime_ Two years ago builders built new Town Houses and this
set Would be directly in back of yet another car sales business.
I am asking you to take us into consideration because we don't
want to live like the City of Virginia Beach has built too y man
condos and apartments. When driving up Shore Drive in the
direction of Oceanfront, too many apartments building and condos
look like they are all cramped in. Who really comes first? it
looks like a bad case avarice here_ Shame on you!

To: Members of Planning Commission I am very much opposed to the Conditional Use Permit
sought by this applicant as I believe that such use is not in the best interest of the the surrounding
communities. I had a bit part when the ULI Study was done in 1997 and as a result of that study
the City Council created The Shore Drive Advisory Committee. I was one of the original
appointees. The ULI study emphasized that the existing residential areas and amenities must be
preserved and enhanced. One of the strategies recommended was better site plan review and
design quality and creating a sense of arrival at the gateway to the area. The citizen Shore Drive
AdvisoryCommittee, along with staff personnel, developed the "The Shore Drive Corridor Plan"
which was adopted by City Council in March 2000. In the section entitled "VISION" it states
that the Shore Drive area is first and foremost a residential community. It further states "New
development and redevelopment in the area should be oriented towards protection and
enhancement of the character of the exisitng residential neighborhoods, while commercial
development should be oriented toward servicing neighborhood needs or building on the
restaurant and marine -oriented business theme in the area." In implementing the plan the
committe created phases - finally the first phase has recently been funded and hopefully we will
begin to see something positive happening along the corridor. I resigned from the committee in
2001 when I began to divide my time completely betwee here and VT and could no longer be a
viable member of the group. I returned permanently about 8 monthsd ago and needless to say
was dismayed to see the unprecedented development that has and is taking place along Shore
Drive. In light of the intent of the Corridor Plan as adopted and with the committee's work
starting to materialize I urge you to take this into consideration when considering the merits
of case # 5 for used auto sales is not an envisioned use along this stretch of Shore Drive. No
amount of planting or screenign can disguise what this facitity will be. Another Virginias Beach
Boulevard WE DO NOT WANT. Thank you for considering my request - I am unable to be at
the Planning Commission Meeting on the 1 Ith due to medical appointments. Judith K. Connors
