Villanueva [Attending Economic Development Announcement re Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference - entered: 3:30 P.M) - 2- CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING WORKFORCE/AFFORDABLE HOUSING 2:00 P.M. ITEM # 54029 Andrew Friedman, Director of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, responded to various City Council questions posed during the April 26, 2005, Briefing: Council Lady McClanan inquired if the staff can determine the percentage of renters in single family neighborhoods? Mr. Friedman advised there are several options which will be pursued and the staff shall report to City Council. Councilman Reeve referenced the need for a comprehensive housing strategy, Mr, Friedman concurred and advised some policy options will be discussed during this City Council Session. Additional work will be accomplished toward a comprehensive strategy. Council Lady Wilson referenced assessment values are behind true market values. Mr, Friedman detailed information collected. Housing by Assessed Value Real Estate Assessor's Report, January 2005 Assessed Value % of Stock Approximate # of Units Under $100,000 14% 18,700 $100,000 to $150,000 27% 36,000 $150,000 to $200,000 21% 28,000 $200,000 to $250,000 13% 17,300 Subtotal under $250,000 75% fOO,OOO The actual sales data was obtained for 113 housing units sold in mid-April 2005. Current sales prices average 40% higher than assessments. Summary of Sales versus Assessments Mid-April 2005 Item Assessed Value Sale Price Average price $188,000 $258,000 Total Price $ 21-MILLION $ 29-MILLION Percent Difference Not Available 40% This adjustment reduces the estimated number ofhousing units valued under $250,000 by over 28,000, down from 100,000 to approximately 72,000, June 14,2005 - 3 - CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING WORKFORCE/AFFORDABLE HOUSING ITEM # 54029 (Continued) Rental Vacancy Rates In the previous presentation (April 26, 2005), the low rental vacancy rates as a contributor to increasing prices and lack of availability of any housing, affordable or not, The April 2005 rental vacancy rates have been obtained from the Tidewater Multifamily Housing Council, representing many of the major apartment owners and managers Rental Vacancy Rate reported by Multi Family Housing Council # of Units # Vacant Vacancy Rate 6,420 69 1% Source: Tidewater Multi Family Housing Council Some of the key issues raised in Part Iofthe Worliforce Housing Briefing: Owner occupied housing had a very low vacancy rate: 2/10ths of 1 %. 4,700 owner households with low incomes were paying over 'half their income for housing costs. Relative renter-occupied housing, there are 50,000 renter households in Virginia Beach with a low vacancy rate (2.5% - now 1%). 7,000 renter households with low income are paying over 50% of their income for rent. Information was detailed relative household composition, first time home-buyers, wages and housing costs, policy issues and work in progress. Concerning household composition, there are approximately 80,000 that are two-parent or married couple households, Over 40,000 households are "non-family", defined as a "single individual living alone, or unrelated individuals residing in a household", These statistics, combined with over 20,000 single parent households in Virginia Beach, relates the demand for different types of housing and abilities to afford housing. Household Composition and Housing Choice Different household types prefer, and can afford, different types and price ranges of housing Single-earner households, including single parents and people living alone in particular, face affordability problems Householders without children often desire different housing types, especially condominiums or other attached housing June 14,2005 - 4 - CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING WORKFORCE/AFFORDABLE HOUSING ITEM # 54029 (Continued) First Time Homebuyers Providing a reasonable balance between supply and demand for first time homebuyers allows peoplejust startingfamilies or households to become owners in Virginia Beach Virginia Tech projects that between now and 2010, 4,800 households will be first time homebuyers with incomes between $20,000 and $40,000, This wage range includes salaries for many City positions. These households could potentially afford housing costing between $70,000 and $125,000. Conclusion: more than one out of every three of the houses in this price range would have to be sold over the next five (5) years, and sold at 2005 values, to meet demand from this group. Housing prices continue to outpace wage increases, therefore, this problem will likely get worse. This highlights the deficit of affordable homeownership opportunities for first time homebuyers. Concerning wages versus housing costs, regional wages for single workers are often much lower than expected considering the housing crises. 80% to 90% of households have more than one (1) wage earner. The single-earner households face the biggest affordability issues. In the region, the top five (5) occupations by number of employed persons (totaling over 90,000 individuals) all paid less than $22,000 annually, Affordable rent for a household earning $22,000 would be approximately $550. In April 2005, there were eight (8) vacant units available with rents under $650 per month. The Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation Partner Group's subgroup on Land Use, working with the Planing Department, has developed a set of DRAFT recommendations: Land Use Goals * Zoning must be adjusted to allow more total housing; and, to allow and incentivize more affordable housing as a part of the overall increase in housing In non-JLUS impacted Strategic Growth Areas, allow residential development in all (except industrial) non-residential areas as a conditional use, rather than requiring a rezoning. Establish a base density for these areas Consider allowing a density bonus in by-right development that includes affordability Change zoning to allow mixed-use development that includes housing Increase the allowable by-right development density in residentially zoned areas Allow or require a percentage of affordable housing in new developments of housing above a specified number of units June 14, 2005 -5- CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING WORKFORCE/AFFORDABLE HOUSING ITEM # 54029 (Continued) *An example cited: An applicant requesting twelve (12) units per acre wished affordable housing, as part of their development. The Planning Department can allow the applicant to proceed, without a Conditional Use Permit or a Rezoning, within a range of units per acre. This would be a major incentive for developers, Housing Finance Goals Establish a "development board" to create a detailed proposal for a Housing Trust Fund; and identify potential private support for such a fund, including developer contributions. Explore tax abatement options for development of new affordable housing and for homeowner rehabilitation of existing housing. The community dialogue and information process is being continued. The Partner Group process continues to be open to all interested and involved stakeholders, Contacts have also been established with the City of Suffolk and Prince William County, which also have an Affordable Housing Task Force and Plan, Homelessness is also a part of affordable housing. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is requiring Virginia Beach to develop a 10-year community plan. The City is working with neighboring cities on regional initiatives and developing a specific Regional programs and facility proposals. Housing Preservation and Relocation Issues Preservation of existing affordable housing, as well as rehabilitation and redevelopment, will be key parts of an overall strategy Determining whether the City's role should change in relation to privately caused relocation With the assistance of Robert Matthias, Assistant to the City Manager, the City will participate in the Virginia Housing Commission, chaired by Delegate Terrie L. Suite, as well as other State housing policy discussions. In the free market environment, Mr. Friedman advised the long term control of the price of housing is difficult. However, there are on-going non-profit home ownership programs i.e. twenty (20) affordable housing units, ten (10) can be sold to a non-profit organization which would rent this housing. The other ten (IO) homes would be sold to the non-profit for resale as home ownership opportunities under the various programs (low cost financing, grant programs, et cetera). Relative increased density in established neighborhoods, the proposal is to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, protect the community preservation areas (predominately single family), not to change the character of residential development. The incentives and density increases would only apply predominately in the commercial corridors and areas adjacent to them (strategic growth areas). Throughout the United States, twenty percent (20%) of home sales were to investors to gain rental income. Mr. Friedman advised the Section 8 Housing Program operates solely on choice. Fair Housing Choice requires individuals choose where they reside and the City must refrain from directing where they live. The only tool available by Housing and Neighborhood Preservation is a list of landlords who are willing to accept Section 8 Housing. Section 8 Housing operates by landlord and tenant choice. Housing and Neighborhood Preservation annually inspects the properties within the program. A Resolution shall be scheduled for a City Council Session to refer the Workforce/Affordable Housing issues to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation. June 14, 2005 - 6- CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING DOLPHIN PROMISE ITEM # 54030 2:45 P.M. Lynn Clements, Director - Museums and Cultural Arts, introduced a non-profit group entitled "A Dolphin's Promise", led by Cindy Graf President. Fred Greene, Vice President and Amy Barton, Public Relations, are participants in this project, Cindy Graf advised in 1999, with the passing of her mother, age 64,from colon cancer, she wanted to create a legacy in her honor. Utilizing her gifts as an artist, combined with a project which would substantially raise funds for cancer treatment and prevention, seemed to be a perfect match. The Dolphin embodied all the qualities so admired and loved in her mother (grace, compassion, quiet inner beauty and giving spirit, which so profoundly touched all). The Dolphin would be the perfect symbol of her hope and compassion. Ms. Graf advised Jean Siebert, who is now a Director of "A Dolphin's Promise", her dream. Jean shared her enthusiasm. The Lance Armstrong Foundation embodies the ideals and will be the benefactor of any funds raised in the project. $l-MILLION will be the goal. The Dolphins are the symbol of hope that one day, all inhabitants will be living in a World "free from Cancer". Ms. Graf expressed appreciation to her Board members: Fred Greene Vice President Operations Patrick Barton Vice President Chris Guido Secretary Ted Clarkson Treasurer (Virginia Beach Foundation) Amy Barton Public Relations Thomas Fraim Director Councilman Jim Reeve Director Jean Siebert Director Cindy expressed gratitude to Mayor Oberndorf for her enthusiastic support. Mayor Oberndorf met with Cindy and Fred Greene in her office in early March. Mayor Oberndorf shared the excitement and gave her promise to assist in any manner. The City Manager, pulled together all the agencies in the City who would be involved in this process. Diane Roche, Media and Communications, provided enormous assistance. Diane advised talent is only the beginning. There is an equation to be followed to succeed. June 14,2005 I~ - 7- CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING DOLPHIN PROMISE ITEM # 54030 (Continued) Lynn Clements distributed information re a Memorandum of Understanding. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) states dolphin sculptures will be sponsored by corporations, business owners and private individuals, pursuant to sponsorship agreements with "A Dolphin's Promise". The proceeds from the sponsorship agreements will be donated to the Lance Armstrong Foundation for the advancement of cancer education, research, advocacy and public health with a donation to the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Center. To assist with "A Dolphin's Promise" endeavor to raise funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Center, the Memorandum of Understanding states the City will provide "A Dolphin's Promise" with access to City property for the display of dolphin sculptures, assist in the installation of the sculptures on City property, maintain the grounds surrounding the dolphin sculptures and endorse by assisting with publicity for the dolphin sculpture project, Each dolphin sculpture will be created by an artist whose design has been approved by the Public Art Committee of the Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission. An estimated two hundred (200) sculptures will be displayed at various locations through the City, commencing in September 2005 (Dolphin Day Ceremony). Amy Barton, Public Relations, distributed information relative the sculpture with an artist application, copyright and design assignment. These applications will be located at the Contemporary Arts Center and the Virginia Aquarium, Artists can also e-mail: adolphinsvromise@hotmail.com Over fifty (50) artists' applications have been received, more than 'half of whom are cancer survivors. Within the Sandbridge community, over thirty (30) dolphins have been sold. Donationsfor the dolphins commence at $3,500. An honorarium of $800 can be received by the artists; however, the majority of the artists do not want the honorarium and will provide their services free of charge. The possible honorarium and the actual cost to produce the dolphin are the only charges deducted from the donations, All the other activities are performed by volunteers. The sculptures are 7 (seven) feet in length and approximately 65 (sixty-five) to 70 (seventy) pounds. Cindy Graf advised a Board of Directors meeting Wednesday evening, June 15, 2005, at which time a sponsorship package will be developed. Cindy has sculpted a 2-1/2- foot dolphin, which will be available for those who cannot contribute re a higher level of sponsorship. Norfolk's Scope AND the Virginia Beach Amphitheatre will request every recording artists performing at their venues to autograph approximately 50 to 60 smaller sculptured dolphins, At a future date, these will be auctioned to raise local funds for cancer, The Lance Armstrong Foundation has agreed to take the funds and dedicate them to the State of Virginia. This can be even broken down further by dedicating the majority offunds to programs in the City of Virginia Beach. The Lance Armstrong Foundation is also offering incentives to different levels of sponsors. Vice Mayor Jones read Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf's letter of support. Mayor Oberndorfwas not able to return from the United States Conference of Mayors meeting in time to speak re the Virginia Beach Dolphin Art Sculpture project, Mayor Oberndorf is excited about enhancing the beauty of the City with these works of art and applauds the vision and hard work of ",4 Dolphin's Promise".

The resulting public benefits are as follows: (a) this is in the best interest of the public and will benefit the inhabitants of the City through the promotion of their safety, health, welfare, convenience or prosperity, and (b) the acquisition, constructing, and equipping of the Project for the Company in the City will provide a public benefit to the City by, among other things, promoting industry, commerce and developing trade. It is the finding of the Department of Economic Development that the proposed increase in the issuance amount of the aforementioned industrial revenue bonds from a maximum of $5,500,000 to a maximum of $9,100,000, and an increase in the size of the facility from 51,000 sq. ft. to 82,000 sq. ft. is appropriate and justified due to the continued substantial growth of this company.

WINBAUER Staff Planner: Carolyn AX Smith REQUEST: Chanqe to a Nonconforminq Use for alteration to the front and rear entry of the existing duplex. ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located 1312 Cypress Avenue. GPIN: 24179553850000 COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: 6-BEACH SITE SIZE: 7,812 square feet SUMMARY OF REQUEST There are two (2) dwelling units on two (2) and one half (1/2) lots: a single-family dwelling and a duplex dwelling, Lot 4 and lot 5 are 25 feet in width and the northern half of lot 6 is 12,5 feet wide. Combined, the total lot width is 62,5 feet. According to the City Assessor's records, the original single-family dwelling unit was constructed in 1937. The northern portion of lot 6 was subdivided legally by deed on March 3, 1949 and the duplex was constructed thereafter (the exact date is not clear). The site is zoned R-5D Residential Duplex District. Having three units in this configuration on the same zoning lot is not permitted in the R-5D District, and thus the situation is nonconforming. As such, any modification to a structure requires City Council approval (Section 1 05(d) of the City Zoning Ordinance). The duplex unit, on the western portion of the lot, is currently under repair and renovation. The applicant has obtained building permits to replace the roof and the siding and has plans to renovate the interior. These are all changes that are allowable since they are considered repair and no alteration is being made, However, it is also the applicant's intent to modify and upgrade the entrances to both units. The proposed improvements to the entrances are beyond the scope of Staff's purview and require review and approval from City Council since they are alterations to a nonconformity. Specifically, the applicant proposes to replace the existing front entry of the duplex for the first floor unit with an A-frame, covered entry feature and replace the deteriorating steps and the landing that lead to the 2nd floor unit in the rear of the building. RICHARD WINBAUER Page 1 LAND USE AND ZONING INFORMATION EXISTING LAND USE: There is a single-family dwelling and a duplex on the property. SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North: South: East: · Single-family dwellings, duplex / R-5D Residential District · Single-family dwellings / R-5D Residential District · Cypress Avenue, single-family dwelling, duplex, apartment building / R-5D Residential District, A-36 Apartment District · Single-family dwelling / R-5D Residential District West: NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES: The site is within the Chesapeake Bay watershed, There are no significant environmental features on the property. AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of 70 to 75dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES WATER: This site has an existing meter that may be used. No additional connections will be permitted. There is an eight (8) inch City water main in Cypress Avenue. SEWER: This site is connected to City sanitary sewer. There is a six (6) inch City sanitary sewer main in Cypress Avenue. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as being part of the "Primary Residential Area." The land use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area. In a general sense, the established type, size and relationship of land use, both residential and non-residential, located in and around neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering future development. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request. Section 105(d) of the City Zoning Ordinance states that no nonconforming use or structure shall be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or structurally altered unless the City Council finds that the proposed use will be "equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconformity." Staff finds that the proposed alteration is reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and should be as RICHARD WINBAUER Page 2 appropriate to the district as the existing non-conforming use. The request, therefore, is acceptable with the condition below. CONDITIONS The alterations to the existing duplex shall be limited to and shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted elevations entitled, "Front view of proposed changes for Winbauer," and "Side view of proposed porch changes for Winbauer." NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes. The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.

The applicant is requesting approval for changes to the single family dwelling only. No changes are proposed for the guesthouse. The applicant is requesting approval for several modifications and additions to the single-family dwelling on the site as follows: 1. Change the existing flat roof to a pitched roof 2. Create a new covered porch extending from the front door to the front line of the existing structure. 3. Add a screened covered porch on the second story of the western most portion of the structure, PEARCE Nonconforming Structure Modification Page 1 LAND USE AND ZONING INFORMATION EXISTING LAND USE: One single-family dwelling with a detached guesthouse SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North: South: East: West: · Single-family Dwellings / R-7.5 Residential District · Single-family Dwellings / R-7,5 Residential District · Single-family Dwellings / R-7.5 Residential District · Single-family Dwellings / R-7.5 Residential District AICUZ: 65-70 dB Ldn WATER: This site is connected to City water. SEWER: This site is connected to City sanitary sewer. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being part of the "Primary Residential Area," and more specifically located in the sub-area identified in the plan as the North Virginia Beach residential community. The land use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area. In a general sense, the established type, size and relationship of land use, both residential and non-residential, located in and around neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering future development. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request. Section 105(d) of the City Zoning Ordinance states that no nonconforming use or structure shall be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or structurally altered unless the City Council finds that the proposed use will be "equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconformity." The proposed modifications to the existing single-family dwelling do not extend beyond the setbacks already established. The lot coverage for the existing structures is 37%, which exceeds the 35% allowed in the R-7.5 District. The new covered front porch will add 180 square feet (or 3%) of additional lot coverage, The enlargement is reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and should be as appropriate to the district as the existing non-conforming use, The request, therefore, is acceptable with the conditions below. PEARCE Nonconforming Structure Modification Page 2 CONDITIONS 1 , The detached structure in the rear of the site is considered an accessory use and shall not be rented as a separate dwelling unit. 2. The alterations to the single-family dwelling shall be limited to and in substantial conformance with the site plan titled "Proposed Site Plan for 117 4ih Street" prepared by Thad A. Broom, AlA and the elevation plan titled "Pearce Residence Proposed Front Elevation" prepared by Thad A. Broom, AlA as exhibited to City Council and on file in the Department of Planning, NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances. Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes.
