We support the military and recognize the important contributions they make to our community. We will work to further galvanize the strong partnership that has been a hallmark of our relationship over the past four decades. The military presence in this region is a major positive force that stabilizes our economy, provides numerous government and private sector jobs, results in extensive government expenditures in the private sector, and provides an important element in the identity for the region. The military also helps by contributing to a reliable and well-trained 10callabor pool that is an effective lure to desirable industry. A consistent and reliable AICUZ Program provides necessary protection to potential development in the community from jet noise and accident potential, and is an important factor in enabling the military to remain here in force and contribute to our local economy. Future military aircraft basing decisions may bring louder and more numerous aircraft accentuating the importance of giving due consideration to this program during all land use decision making. Retention and growth of the military presence in this region will be directly reflected in the economic vitality of Virginia Beach. To ensure that the military remains here in force and continues to contribute to our local economy, areas of the city instrumental to military operations must be strategically planned to consist ofland uses that conform to OPNA V Instructions regarding AICUZ. The area designated as Accident Potential Zone 1 is a geographic area of special concern. Already subiect to the APZ-l ordinances, which prohibit by-right development not in accordance with the OPNA V Instructions, and to the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance, which prohibits discretionary approval by Council except in accordance with the OPNA V Instructions, this area is also the subiect of an intense effort by the City to work with willing property owners to transform nonconforming uses to conforming uses in APZ-1. This will be conducted according to three basic principles: 1. The City's involvement will be only with willing property owners. While the City will encourage and facilitate certain choices, it will not force solutions on unwilling participants. 2. The City will encourage the orderly exercise of choice. Residents and businesses that choose to remain in the status quo deserve a quality setting in which to live and work. Unsuitable uses will not be allowed to intrude into areas where people live and work to the detriment of the quality oflife, and they will not be allowed to infringe upon established neighborhoods and commercial areas. Integrity of existing land use is a first priority. 3. The second priority, where it can be achieved compatibly with existing neighborhoods and businesses, is to systematically replace uses that are nonconforming under the OPNA V Instructions with those are conforming. Among the techniques to be used are: retention of conforming uses where they already exist; recruitment of conforming uses from outside the APZ-1 area; providing incentives to the private sector to replace nonconforming with conforming uses; and location of appropriate conforming public uses within the area. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 A RESOLUTION REFERRING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AS PART OF THE OCEANA LAND USE CONFORMITY PROGRAM, AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND REORDAIN ARTICLE 18 OF THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE (APPENDIX A) BY AMENDING SECTIONS 1803 AND 1807 AND ADDING NEW SECTIONS 1808, 1809 AND 1810, ALLOWING CERTAIN USES AS PRINCIPAL USES IN ACCIDENT POTENTIAL ZONE 1 WHERE ALLOWED AS CONDITIONAL USES IN THE UNDERLYING ZONING DISTRICT 12 WHEREAS, the Ci ty Council desires to encourage the 13 development of uses and structures in Accident Potential Zone 1 14 (APZ-1) that are compatible with both flight operations arising 15 out of NAS Oceana and established residential neighborhoods; and 16 WHEREAS, the City Council intends to adopt other ordinances 17 and programs (collectively, the "Oceana Land Use Conformity 18 Program" ) to make funds and incentives available for the 19 purposes of encouraging the voluntary replacement or relocation 2 0 of nonconforming uses in APZ-1, as determined pursuant to the 21 Department of the Navy's OPNAV Instruction 11010.36B and Section 22 1804 of the City Zoning Ordinance, so as to facilitate efforts 23 of both the private and public sectors that will roll back 24 encroachment by nonconforming uses in APZ-1; and 25 WHEREAS, the City Council also desires to ensure that the 26 development and redevelopment of conforming uses in APZ-1 occurs 27 only where and when it can be accomplished in a manner that is 28 clearly not detrimental to established residential neighborhoods 29 within APZ-1 and in a manner consistent with sound planning and 30 land use principles to promote the orderly and compatible co- 31 existence of different uses in APZ-1 and the Clear Zone; and 32 WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the City Council that the 33 adoption of an ordinance creating certain zoning incentives to 34 encourage the development of conforming uses In appropriate 35 areas wi thin APZ-1 lS an effective means of accomplishing the 36 aforesaid obj ecti ves and an integral component of the Oceana 37 Land Use Conformity Program; and 38 WHEREAS, the public necessity, convenience, general welfare 39 and good zoning practice so require; 40 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY 41 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 42 That the above-entitled ordinance, a copy of which is 43 hereto attached, is hereby referred to the Planning Commission 44 for its consideration and recommendation.

The NPS will determine if the trail is nationally and historically significant, and whether it provides opportunities for public recreation. Given a positive recommendation from the NPS, Congress must then amend the NTSA to include the John Smith Water Trail, in order for it to officially become a NHT. The Study Process \,.~ This historic route is being considered for designation as a national historic trail and must meet certain legislative requirements to become an official trail in the National Trails System. Over the next year, the project team will assess trail alternatives and submit a Determination of Significance Statement to NPS. When trail route alternatives are developed, purpose and significance statements will be used to evaluate each alternative. Under the Historic Sites Act of 1935 and Public law 106-135, the National Park Service Advisory Board will determine if the Captain John Smith National Historic Trail is nationally significant. If significance is determined, feasibility and management options, including federal management, will be considered. If the trail is determined not to be nationally significant, state and local management options will be con- sidered. What is a National Historic Trail? A national historic trail is an extended trail that follows routes of travel that are historically and nationally signifi- cant. The trail must be significant with respect to any of several broad facets of American history, such as trade and commerce, exploration, migration and settlement, or military campaigns, and must have significant potential for public recreational use or historical interest based on historical interpretation and appreciation. The trail need not be continuous and might include land and water segments, marked highways paralleling the route, and sites that together form a chain or network along the route. The purpose and significance of each trail is examined to determine the unique characteristics of the trail. Purpose and significance statements help ensure that management, resource protection, visitor use, and trail development are in accordance with the NPS mission: to protect and preserve resources and to provide for the enjoyment of those resources by people. Purpose The designation of this route as a national historic trail will: . Help encourage preservation of the trail's history and physical environment. . Allow visitors to envision John Smith's Chesapeake voyages . Learn about the resources and environment of the Chesapeake Bay, then and now . Highlight the history and historic contributions of the native American Indians of the Chesapeake region · Help to spur efforts to protect and restore the region's historic and environmental assets. Route of the Proposed Water Trail John Smith conducted two major voyages around the Chesapeake Bay during the summer of 1608, both starting from Jamestown and heading down the James River into the Bay. On the first voyage he traveled north along the eastern shore, exploring the mouth of the Pocomoke River and traveling some distance up the Nanticoke River. He continued north on the bay as far as present-day Baltimore and the Patapsco River, then headed south along the western shore, exploring the Potomac (Patawomeck) and some of its tributaries to a point north of present- day Washington, DC, before returning to Jamestown. On the second voyage, Smith went straight up the Bay to the mouth of the Susquehanna and present-day Havre de Grace, exploring the Patuxent and Rappahannock Rivers on his return trip southward. The proposed trail would be a circuit of the Bay, with river extensions, com- bining the routes of these two historic Project Area See Maps Attached John Smith Trail Study Schedule .

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Last summer, the Virginia Beach City Council passed a resolution in response to a request by the Pungo Landowners Association that expresses support for a Pungo Village Land Use Study to be performed by the Urban Land Institute. The Institute was chosen for this initiative because of the extensive success it has had, both nationally and internationally, in preparing a host of practical and innovative planning tools for local governments. This particular initiative poses a number of challenges and opportunities. These issues include: . reaffirming or redefining the role of Pungo Village within the framework of the adopted 2003 Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan and the approved 2005 Hampton Roads Joint Land Use Study (See attachments) . clarifying planning, design and physical characteristics of the village, . evaluating the economic viability of the project, and . identifying a realistic development strategy regarding infrastructure and service delivery systems. Presently, Pungo consists of a relatively compact and varied arrangement of rural commercial uses that have, in large part, remained unchanged for many decades. These uses are located along the approaches to and centered at the intersection of Princess Anne and Indian River Roads, both of which are two lane rural arterial roads. (See attached aerial photo) Pungo is a commercial and social gathering place for the southern rural community and is a destination for visitors from Hampton Roads and around the state. The Pungo Strawberry Festival draws crowds of thousands each Memorial Day. North of Indian River Road is the urban/suburban service area where public water and sewer exists or may be built to support low-density development. Immediately south of this road is the agricultural and rural service area where extension of such facilities is prohibited by the Comprehensive Plan. 1 An expansive floodplain associated with West Neck Creek is located about a quarter mile to the west of Pungo. 2. QUESTIONS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE ULI PANEL There are four areas of interest regarding this proposed study. First, the overall role of Pungo Village needs to be clearly defined. Should this role shift to serve the specialty shopping interests of those living in the suburban north or should it reaffirm the traditional purpose as a social and commercial center principally serving the agriculture and rural residential communities to the south? Can it and should it try to do both? Second, the village's planning and design consideration must be clearly defined. What are the fundamental land use principles that should be applied to this area? What is an appropriate village area? What should be considered with respect to type, intensity and distribution pattern of land uses? What special design elements should be employed with regard to sites, buildings, parking, open space areas, trails, signs and streetscapes? From a design perspective, how might we respect the historic heritage of Pungo area? How should aesthetic and environmental considerations be addressed in this plan? How should we plan for transportation improvements in an area that could be an origin and destination of travel as well as a thoroughfare? In what way, if any, should Pungo Village relate to West Neck Creek? Third, the study should examine the market potential and whether a transformed Pungo Village is economically viable. What is the investment potential of the private sector? What is a realistic market base to ensure success? What public sector incentives and investments, if any, might be required to serve as a catalyst for private investment? Fourth, the study must address significant local planning and strategic policy implications with respect to development strategies and utility services in the Pungo area. Over the past few decades, the City has reaffirmed a policy that prohibits the introduction of public water and sewer facilities south of Indian River Road. Since this road bisects Pungo, can we accommodate land use planning goals for a cohesive 'village' consistent with adopted comprehensive planning policies and without giving momentum to public utility extensions into the rural area? Other public facility and service considerations must be addressed. What are the best stormwater management systems for such areas? How can we assure that city departments responsible for public safety can adequately deliver their services in and around the village? What are the estimated costs of such public facility and service requirements and what implementation strategies might be considered? 2 3.

SPONSOR INFORMATION The sponsoring agency for this study is the City of Virginia Beach. The City's role in this study focuses on providing relevant planning guidance and background information to the ULI advisory panel thereby enabling them to formulate a Pungo Village Land Use Study. It is our desire to complete the Pungo Village Land Use Study application and contract review / approval process as soon as possible. We envision welcoming the ULI advisory panel members to Virginia Beach and conducting the study soon after completing our response to the BRAC directive. When completed, the Pungo Village Land Use Study will serve as a planning policy tool for guiding planning and development decisions that affect this area. It will also be used to when considering related land use policies of a strategic nature. 4 ULI-The Urban land Institute Advisory Services Agreement This Agreement constitutes a binding contract between the City of Virginia Beach (Sponsor) and ULI-the Urban Land Institute (Institute).
