On occasion horses from the herd roam northward across the state line into False Cape State Park, the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and the community of Sandbridge. In the interest of safety to citizens, tourists and the wild horses, the City Council adopted an ordinance in 1998 together with other stakeholders to establish a protection and relocation program. City Code § 5-102 recognizes certain entities authorized to assist in protecting the health, safety and welfare of wild horses and ensuring their safe return to the Outer Banks of Currituck County, North Carolina. The Tidewater Western Riders Association (TWRA), based in Virginia Beach, was one of the authorized entities in the ordinance. Recently, the TWRA was disbanded and the principals, Gene and Donna Snow, have formed the Virginia Wild Horse Rescue for the same purpose, pursuant to Sec. 5-102. ■ Considerations: The proposed amendment will recognize the current reality regarding the disbanding of TWRA and the establishment of Virginia Wild Horse Rescue. In addition, the change will allow Virginia Wild Horse Rescue to qualify for federal funding to purchase a new horse trailer and related equipment in order to continue providing a. valuable service to the citizens of Virginia Beach and the state and federal governments. ■ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: Agriculture Department j City Manager:(:,-Zr1L , 1 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 5-102 2 PERTAINING TO ASSISTANCE BY LICENSED 3 VETERINARIANS AND OTHER AUTHORIZED PERSONS 4 5 SECTION AMENDED: 5-102 6 7 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA 8 BEACH, VIRGINIA: 9 That Section 5-102 is hereby amended and reordained to read as 10 follows: 11 Sec. 5-102.

The General Assembly amended section 15.2-106 in 2004 to increase to $35 the maximum penalty that localities may charge for bad checks. City Code section 2-230 currently imposes a penalty fee of $20 for any bad checks submitted for payment of any taxes, levies or fees due to the City. The City Treasurer's Office is requesting that Council increase the penalty fee to $35, as permitted by state law. ■ Considerations The increased fee should result in an increase in local revenues. ■ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: City Treasurer City Manager: k . 6Yy, 1 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 2-230 2 PERTAINING TO PENALTY CHARGE FOR BAD CHECKS 3 4 SECTION AMENDED: § 2-230 5 6 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA 7 BEACH, VIRGINIA: 8 That Section 2-230 is hereby amended and reordained to read as 9 follows: 10 Sec. 2-230.

The City has developed a franchise agreement for the regulation of open air cafes, which the above -listed grantee will be required to execute as a condition of the grant. The City Council has traditionally granted initial franchises for one-year terms. If an open air cafe is successfully operated during the initial one-year term, the franchisee is given the option of entering into a five-year franchise agreement, subject to Council's approval. ■ Considerations: Atlantic Bistro, LLC t/a Ribley's ("Ribley's"), located at 910 Atlantic Avenue, is seeking a one-year franchise agreement.

The Community Organization Grant Committee ("COG") had reviewed the application and recommended that the exemption be denied. COG recommended denial solely because it believed that the Church had not previously paid taxes on the building, and accordingly granting the exemption would have been inconsistent with Council's policy on tax exemptions, which requires that "[t]he organization's property taxes must represent a significant burden, at least either $250 or more annually or 5% or more of its expenditures for the last fiscal year (whichever is greater)." A representative of the Church appeared at the May 23, 2006 Council meeting and asserted that the Church had in fact paid significant taxes on the building in the previous tax year. Council deferred action on the application for exemption and requested that COG reevaluate the application based on this new information. Staff confirmed that the Church paid taxes of $17,262.96 on the building in 2005. COG reconsidered the application on June 7, 2006 in light of this new information. Because the property taxes represent a significant tax burden for the Church, the Church qualifies for exemption under Council's policy on tax exemptions. Accordingly, COG has recommended approval of the application for exemption. ■ Considerations The Community Organization Grant (COG) Committee has reviewed the application and recommended that the exemption be approved. Granting this exemption would be consistent with the policy on tax exemptions adopted by the City Council. ■ Public Information: A public hearing on this matter was conducted on May 23, 2006. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: City Council City Manager: V' 1 AN ORDINANCE TO DESIGNATE ST. 2 GREGORY THE GREAT CATHOLIC CHURCH AS 3 BEING EXEMPT FROM LOCAL REAL AND 4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXATION 5 6 WHEREAS, in accordance with § 58.1-3651 of the Code of 7 Virginia, the Council of the City of Virginia Beach has advertised 8 and conducted a public hearing on the issue of granting an 9 exemption from local property taxes to St. Gregory the Great 10 Catholic Church. 11 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 12 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 13 1.

MEETING DATE: July 11, 2006 ■ Background: The Southeastern Parkway / Greenbelt project (the "Project") will construct 11.5 miles of four -lane divided highway in phases from I-264 to the Cityline with Chesapeake. The Project is funded for site acquisition of right-of-way, corridor studies and preliminary environmental work. The Project is currently programmed and funded in the City's Capital Improvement Program, CIP 2-089. The Project is still in the early stages of design, but several sites within the alignment have already been acquired by voluntary acquisition or condemnation and the general preferred alignment has been established. The two parcels proposed to be acquired consist of approximately 27,387 square feet (.629 acres) and are located on Gary Avenue in the Oceana Gardens neighborhood of Virginia Beach. On June 16, 2005, the owner, Balance Builders, Inc., obtained approval for a preliminary resubdivision plat which would allow the development of seven (7) new townhouses. All seven new lots will be located within the preferred Project alignment at this location, which is a 300' proposed right-of- way as shown on the attached alignment exhibit. The property owner is ready to proceed with his development plans if the City does not buy these lots. ■ Considerations: The property is located in APZ-1, but Balance Builders, Inc.'s rights in this development were determined to be vested due to the City's approval of the preliminary subdivision plat prior to Council's adoption of the APZ-1 Ordinance on December 20, 2005. ■ Alternatives: (1)Authorize acquisition of the property and easements needed to protect the Project's alignment from new development; or (2) Do not acquire the sites and allow seven (7) townhouses to be constructed, which will need to be acquired at some future time. ■ Recommendations: The staff recommends that City Council approve the attached acquisition Ordinance, which authorizes the acquisition of the needed property in fee simple by agreement, or if necessary, by condemnation. ■ Attachments: 1) Acquisition Ordinance 2) Location Map, showing future alignment Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: Public Works 9T City Manager: kZ_ , 1 AN ORDINANCE TO AUTHORIZE 2 ACQUISITION OF TWO PARCELS OF LAND 3 IN OCEANA GARDENS, IN FEE SIMPLE FOR 4 SOUTHEASTERN PARKWAY / GREENBELT 5 PROJECT (CIP 2-089), EITHER BY 6 AGREEMENT OR CONDEMNATION 7 8 9 WHEREAS, in the opinion of the Council of the City of Virginia 10 Beach, Virginia, a public necessity exists for the construction of 11 this important roadway project to reduce traffic congestion and 12 improve transportation within the City and for other related public 13 purposes for the preservation of the safety, health, peace, good 14 order, comfort, convenience, and for the welfare of the people in is the City of Virginia Beach. 16 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 17 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 18 Section 1.

Of that amount, $1 million was appropriated from the DEA Seized Property Special Revenue Fund. The replacement helicopter, as discussed at that Council meeting, will be configured as an air ambulance and will also be equipped with an external hoist to rescue individuals out of the water or from the rooftop of a burning building. A "cargo hook" underneath the helicopter will allow for the transporting of a water bucket to extinguish fires in remote areas. CIP Project #3-227, "Police Helicopter Replacement & Hangar Expansion," is for the replacement of the existing helicopter and expansion of the existing hanger and maintenance facility in order to accommodate a larger aircraft. The description and scope of CIP Project #3- 227 also should reflect the configuration of the new helicopter as an air ambulance, with additional equipment for the rescue of individuals in water or on rooftops and the extinguishing of fires in remote areas. The Police Department recently received bids for the replacement helicopter and updated cost estimates for expanding the current helicopter hanger facility. The bid for the helicopter is $2,894,000. The increase in cost is associated with the demand for helicopters from the military, private sector, and other state and local government law enforcement agencies. These costs continue to rise. The updated cost of the hangar expansion and site work is $450,000. ■ Considerations: The total cost of the project is estimated not to exceed $3,350,000 if the current low bid is accepted and the hangar facility is expanded at the current location. It is proposed that the additional $450,000 be funded through a combination of DEA Seized Property proceeds and FY 2006-07 Reserve for Contingencies. The proceeds from the sale of the helicopter that is being replaced should replace most or all of the funds transferred from the Reserve for Contingencies. No additional Police, Fire or Emergency Medical Services will be needed or required by the State to operate the helicopter as an air ambulance. Any additional risk management and other operating costs will be absorbed by the Police Department's Operating Budget. ■ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. ■ Alternatives: An alternative would be to reduce the functionality of the helicopter by eliminating equipment that enables use of the helicopter as an air ambulance, rescue, and fire- fighting tool. Some additional funds would still be needed for the hangar expansion. ■ Recommendations: It is recommended that $300,000 be transferred from FY 2006-07 Reserve for Contingencies and $150,000 be appropriated from the Fund Balance of the DEA Seized Property Special Revenue Fund. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Approval Submitting Department/Agency: Management Services City Manager: 1 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $150,000 FROM THE 2 FUND BALANCE OF THE DEA SEIZED PROPERTY 3 SPECIAL REVENUE FUND AND TRANSFER $300,000 4 FROM RESERVE FOR CONTINGENCIES TO CAPITAL 5 PROJECT #3-227, "POLICE HELICOPTER REPLACEMENT 6 AND HANGAR EXPANSION," FOR THE CUSTOMIZATION 7 OF ONE HELICOPTER INTO AN AIR AMBULANCE AND 8 THE EXPANSION OF THE CURRENT HANGAR 9 10 11 WHEREAS, funding of $150,000 is available in the DEA Seized 12 Property Special Revenue Fund and $300,000 is available in Reserve 13 for Contingencies to cover costs associated with customizing a 14 police helicopter to serve as an air ambulance and increased costs 15 of expanding the current helicopter hangar. 16 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 17 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 18 1. That $150,000 from the Fund Balance of the DEA Seized 19 Property Special Revenue Fund is hereby appropriated and $300,000 20 from Reserve for Contingencies is hereby transferred to CIP #3-227, 21 "Police Helicopter Replacement and Hangar Expansion," for the 22 customization of one helicopter into an air ambulance and the 23 expansion of the current helicopter hangar, with local revenue 24 increased accordingly. 25 2. That CIP #3-227, "Police Helicopter Replacement and 26 Hangar Expansion," is hereby amended to include the configuration 27 of a police helicopter to serve as an air ambulance. 28 Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, 29 Virginia, on the day of , 2006.

As the service delivery demands of the fire service change, so do the knowledge, skills, and abilities of a firefighter to effectively deliver those services. To accurately adjust the firefighter selection process, validation studies of both the written and physical agility portions of the selection process must be conducted on a regular basis. ■ Considerations: During the course of the recent Department of Justice review of both Police and Fire Department hiring practices, it was strongly recommended that both departments conduct up to date validation processes to support the integrity of the process and ensure equity in the ability of all potential candidates to complete the hiring process. Preliminary estimates indicate the study for both the written and physical agility portions of the Fire Department selection process are in the range of $200,000. This figure mirrors the amount estimated and approved in a May 23, 2006 ordinance to reallocate excess salary from the Police Department FY06 general operating budget for their portion of the study. The Fire Department did not have sufficient excess FY06 budget funding to cover the estimated costs of the project. Funding for the Fire Department share of the project is requested to come from Reserve for Contingencies. ■ Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. ■ Alternatives: Without appropriation of the funding for this validation study, the department places itself in a position for future contention of the validity of the selection process for minority and/or female applicants. ■ Recommendations: Transfer $200,000 from Reserve for Contingencies to the Fire Department's FY 07 Operating Budget to support the Fire Department's participation in a firefighter selection process validation study. ■ Attachments: Ordinance Recommended Action: Appropriate the requested funds Submitting Department/Agency: Fire Department z City Manager: S ��t, �/ 1 AN ORDINANCE TO TRANSFER $200,000 FROM 2 RESERVE FOR CONTINGENCIES TO THE FIRE 3 DEPARTMENT'S FY 2006-07 OPERATING BUDGET 4 FOR A VALIDATION STUDY 5 WHEREAS, the Virginia Beach Fire Department has determined 6 that it should a review the criteria used for its hiring and 7 selection process. 8 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY 9 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 10 That $200,000 is hereby transferred from Reserve for 11 Contingencies to the Fire Department's FY 2006-07 Operating 12 Budget to pay for a validation study of the Fire Department's 13 selection and hiring practices. 14 Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, 15 Virginia on the day of , 2006.

Council appropriated $100,000 in new funding for this project for FY 2006-07. This project provides safe and well -maintained tennis facilities for use by the general public. An efficient and effective tennis court maintenance plan requires surface treatment, patching, and periodic renovations. Some tennis courts require complete renovation. ■ Considerations: The City and Schools cooperative effort ranks renovation projections in priority order, and for this year the Schools issued a Request for Proposals to renovate the tennis courts at Green Run, Salem, and Tallwood high schools. Surface re -treatment products are petroleum based, and due to the existing market conditions for such products, the low bid for these projects was $225,000 over the original estimate. Surplus funds in other completed or nearly completed capital projects have been identified as a source of funds to complete the necessary renovations and enable Schools to award a contract to the low bidder. The School Board adopted a resolution on June 20, 2006 requesting these transfers. ■ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council agenda process. ■ Alternatives: Without this transfer of funds, some of these courts cannot be renovated, which could necessitate the temporary closing of courts due to safety issues. ■ Recommendations: Approve transfer of funds. ■ Attachments: Ordinance and School Board Resolution Recommended Action: Adopt Ordinance Submitting Department/Agency: Schools and Management Services City Manager: <zV - '�5-r 1 AN ORDINANCE TO TRANSFER $225,000 FROM CIP #1- 2 090, "THREE OAKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL," AND CIP 3 #1-001, "RENOVATIONS & REPLACEMENTS -ENERGY 4 MANAGEMENT" TO CIP #1-232, "TENNIS COURT 5 RENOVATIONS," TO FUND INCREASED RENOVATIONS 6 COSTS AND ALLOW THE AWARDING OF A CONTRACT TO 7 THE LOW BIDDER 8 9 WHEREAS, due to the existing market conditions of increasing 10 costs for petroleum -based products used in tennis court 11 renovations, an additional $225,000 must be transferred to CIP #1- 12 232, "Tennis Court Renovations," to complete renovations and allow 13 the award of a contract to the low bidder for this project. 14 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 15 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 16 That $175,000 is hereby transferred from CIP #1-090, "Three 17 Oaks Elementary School," and $50,000 is hereby transferred from 18 CIP #1-001, "Renovations & Replacements -Energy Management," to CIP 19 #1-232, "Tennis Court Renovations," to fund the increased 20 renovation costs and enable the awarding of a contract to the low 21 bidder.

Property is located at 1036 Ferry Plantation Road (GPIN 1478450391). DISTRICT 4 — BAYSIDE ■ Considerations: A Conditional Use Permit, permitting the existing communication tower, was approved by the City Council on September 26, 1995 with two (2) conditions. The existing communication tower is 90-feet in height and utilizes flush mounted antennas. The applicant proposes to change the antennas to three -sector arrays (four directional panel antennas per sector). The requested change to the antennas is required to provide for greater channel efficiency to the subscribers in the area. The proposed change will not increase the height of the existing tower and will use the existing equipment shelter and compound. The Zoning Administrator has determined the applicant must modify the conditional use permit due to the change in the type of antennas. The. proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area. The request to replace the flush mounted antennas with array style antennas will provide for greater efficiency in serving the volume of subscribers in the area, and is consistent with the standards in the City Zoning Ordinance for wireless communication antennas. Additionally, the efficiency increase provided by the new antenna arrays will reduce the need for additional antenna towers in this area. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because this is the addition of equipment to an existing tower, the request meets the standards provided by the City Zoning Ordinance for communication towers and antennas, and there was no opposition.

It is for a Modification of a Conditional Use Permit for a communications tower on property located at 1036 Ferry Plantation Road in the Bayside District. Welcome sir and please state your name. Gregory Tully: Good afternoon. My name is Gregory S. Tully representing Verizon Wireless this afternoon. I have a quick question for the Vice Chairman before we begin. Janice Anderson: Sure. Gregory Tully: I noticed that Item #25 was on the consent agenda and Item #26 was not. Janice Anderson: That's coming next. Gregory Tully: I counted 14. You said fourteen in the beginning. I just wanted to make sure. Very briefly, Verizon Wireless is satisfied with all the conditions on both applications, and very much appreciates both items being on the consent agenda, as they are modifications of the underlying conditions. Janice Anderson: On Item #25, there are three conditions. They are acceptable Mr. Tully correct? Is there any opposition to agenda Item #25? Thank you. Mr. Ron Ripley will explain both applications. Thank you Mr. Tully. Ronald Ripley: These are modifications of two Conditional Use Permits. This is a pretty routine modification. They are existing cell towers. The first one at Ferry Plantation Road is 90 feet. It is going to have some equipment put on it that will extend it to no more than 100 feet. And really all they are doing is they're asking to do what they call "three -sector array" or four directional panel antennas which helps the coverage of what they're trying to do here. We encourage this because the intent of bringing this into a Conditional Use Permit is to make sure that we don't have too many of these cell towers. I know it might look like a lot, but the city is very diligent in trying to keep down the number and having people collocate onto these towers so that we don't have as many around that are junking up the views, if you will. But it was pretty routine; so, the Commission put it on the consent agenda and that is why it is on the consent. Item #25 Verizon Wireless Page 2 Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Ripley. Mr. Chairman, I have a motion for approval of consent agenda item #25. Barry Knight: Thank you. There is a motion on the floor to approve the consent agenda item #25. Do I have a second?

Smith — Conditional Use Permit (skateboard ramp), 804 Terrace Avenue (DISTRICT 6 — BEACH) MEETING DATE: July 11, 2006 ■ Background: Application of Gary W. Smith for a Conditional Use Permit for a recreational facility of an outdoor nature (skateboard ramp) on property located at 804 Terrace Avenue (GPIN 2417927155). DISTRICT 6 — BEACH ■ Considerations: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for an outdoor recreational facility, consisting of a skateboard ramp in the rear yard of the parcel. The ramp will be primarily limited to the use of the applicant and his six -year old son. The parcel is situated in the Shadowlawn residential neighborhood of the Oceanfront Resort Area, and has a bungalow -style single-family house situated on it. The applicant desires to construct the ramp in the southeast corner of the rear yard, approximately five (5) feet from the rear lot line and ten (10) feet from the side lot line. Staff recognizes the popularity of the skateboarding sport, and the increasing desire of homeowners to install ramps in their yards. Like other recreational equipment and facilities in residential yards (swimming pools, basketball goals, etc.), skateboard ramps have the potential to become nuisances to surrounding residents, especially in regard to sound that emanates from the facility, such as the continuous bouncing of a ball, the sound of skateboard wheels rolling across the plywood surface of the ramp, or the sound of cheers and joyful screams. Such sound is normal and is expected in residential neighborhoods. The problems arise when the sound occurs outside the hours of the day expected for such sound, the sound increases beyond the level normally expected, or the sound includes language that is not considered appropriate. When this occurs, the sound becomes "noise." Such noise, especially if it includes the gathering of individuals on the lot beyond what is normally expected, can significantly disturb the tranquility and peace within the neighborhood. Further, of all recreational equipment and facilities in residential areas, it is the skateboard ramp that, due to the nature of rolling wheels on the riding surface and the size of the ramp, has the potential to create the greatest nuisance. Thus, the requirement for this conditional use permit. Gary W. Smith Page 2 of 3 To ensure that the recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan to protect neighborhoods from destabilizing influences is met, it is vital that this proposal provides safeguards designed to significantly avoid the potential for the facility to become a nuisance to the surrounding residents and thus, to the neighborhood. To accomplish this, the applicant has met with adjacent residents, as well as residents in each of the blocks surrounding the site, explaining the proposal to construct the ramp and the conditions and restrictions under which it will be used. Signatures of support from the residents on forms provided by the applicant were submitted with the application. The applicant notes that the ramp will only be used during the hours of 10:00 A.M. to dusk. Additionally, an adult will be on -site when the ramp is in use, and the ramp will be locked with a chain during all other times to prevent its use. All skaters under the age of 18 will be required to wear helmets. The size of the ramp is proposed at 13 feet by 26 feet, with a height of four (4) feet at the rollout deck platforms. One of the platforms will have a two (2) foot high rail. To provide a secure skating surface, the ramp will be permanently mounted to the ground with concrete piers at each end and at the center. Wood sheathing at each end of the rollout deck platforms combined with sound attenuation attached to the underside of the skating deck are proposed to reduce the sound from the ramp. Staff concludes that the ramp will be constructed and operated in a manner such that it will not prove to be a destabilizing influence in the neighborhood. The conditions below, reflective of the applicant's self-imposed rules and standards, will ensure this. Additionally, a condition is recommended requiring an annual review of the facility to make sure that the rules are being adhered to and the facility is not acting as a destabilizing influence on the neighborhood. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they felt that it was an appropriate use, as conditioned, the applicant had the support of the residents in the surrounding area, and Staff recommended approval. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request, with the following conditions: 1. The skateboard ramp shall be located and constructed in substantial compliance with the submitted property survey and the submitted drawing entitled, "Smith Ramp," dated March 31, 2006. 2. Use of the ramp shall be limited to the hours between 10:00 a.m. and dusk. 3. To reduce the level of sound emanating from the ramp when in use, the following shall be utilized in the construction of the ramp: (a) the underside of the plywood beneath the skating surface shall be insulated; (2) the sides of the ramp shall be enclosed with wood; and (3) roofing paper shall Gary W. Smith Page 3of3 be installed between the plywood and the skating surface of the ramp. 4. A chain shall be secured across the ramp when the ramp is not in use such that the ramp cannot be used. 5. At least one adult shall be outside the house and present when the ramp is in use. 6. The applicant shall enforce the rules submitted with the application regarding use of the ramp.

White REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit for an Outdoor Recreation Facility (skateboard ramp) - of r 0 s C �♦i+ le!' ♦ as� 4 E r; •��..� a c �6 �' ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located at 804 Terrace Avenue. GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE: 2417927155 6 - BEACH 6,000 square feet The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for an SUMMARY OF REQUEST outdoor recreational facility, consisting of a skateboard ramp in the rear yard of the parcel. The ramp will be primarily limited to the use of the applicant and his six -year old son. The parcel is situated in the Shadowlawn residential neighborhood of the Oceanfront Resort Area, and has a bungalow -style single-family house situated on it. The applicant desires to construct the ramp in the southeast corner of the rear yard, approximately five (5) feet from the rear lot line and ten (10) feet from the side lot line. The size of the ramp is proposed at 13 feet by 26 feet, with a height of four (4) feet at the rollout deck platforms. One of the platforms will have a two (2) foot high rail. To provide a secure skating surface, the ramp will be permanently mounted to the ground with concrete piers at each end and at the center. Wood sheathing at each end of the rollout deck platforms combined with sound attenuation attached to the underside of the skating deck are proposed to reduce the sound from the ramp. The applicant has met with adjacent property owners, as well as residents in each of the blocks surrounding the site, explaining the proposal to construct the ramp and the conditions and restrictions under which it will be used. Signatures of support from the residents on forms provided by the applicant were submitted with the application. The applicant notes that the ramp will only be used during the hours of 10:00 A.M. to dusk. Additionally, an adult will be on -site when the ramp is in use, and the ramp will be locked with a chain during all other times to prevent its use. All skaters under the age of 18 will be required to wear helmets. LAND USE AND ZONING INFORMATION EXISTING LAND USE: Single-family residential SURROUNDING LAND North: . Single-family residential / R-5S Residential Single -Family USE AND ZONING: South: . Single-family residential / R-5S Residential Single -Family East: . Single-family residential / R-5S Residential Single -Family West: . Single-family residential / R-5S Residential Single -Family NATURAL RESOURCE AND Site is developed with a single-family dwelling, a wood deck, lawn, CULTURAL FEATURES: concrete driveway and walk, and an accessory structure. AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of 70 to 75 d6 Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES WATER AND SEWER: There is no impact on City water and sewer services from this use. POLICE: The Police Department notes that residential ramps of this nature can become a nuisance and result in increased calls primarily due to noise. Rules for use of the ramp, strict supervision of use of the ramp, and control of access to the ramp are necessary to avoid the ramp becoming such a nuisance. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this area as being within COMPREHENSIVE PLAN the Oceanfront Resort Area / Shadowlawn neighborhood. While the neighborhood is part of the Resort Area, the Comprehensive Plan recognizes the primacy of preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of such stable neighborhoods. Established residential neighborhoods are to be protected against invasive land uses that, due to their activity, intensity, size, hours of operation or other factors, would tend to destabilize them. Uses proposed for introduction into such neighborhoods should be evaluated to ensure that they are not destabilizing influences. Staff recommends approval of this EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION request with conditions recommended by staff. The recommended conditions are provided below. Staff recognizes the popularity of the skateboarding sport, and the increasing desire of homeowners to install ramps in their yards. Like other recreational equipment and facilities in residential yards (swimming pools, basketball goals, etc.), skateboard ramps have the potential to become nuisances to surrounding residents, especially in regard to sound that emanates from the facility, such as the continuous bouncing of a ball, the sound of skateboard wheels rolling across the plywood surface of the ramp, or the sound of cheers and joyful screams. Such sound is normal and is expected in residential neighborhoods. The problems arise when the sound occurs outside the hours of the day expected for such sound, the sound increases beyond the level normally expected, or the sound includes language that is not considered appropriate. When this occurs, the sound becomes "noise." Such noise, especially if it includes the gathering of individuals on the lot beyond what is normally expected, can significantly disturb the tranquility and peace within the neighborhood. Further, of all recreational equipment and facilities in residential areas, it is the skateboard ramp that, due to the nature of rolling wheels on the riding surface and the size of the ramp, has the potential to create the greatest nuisance. Thus, the requirement for this conditional use permit. To ensure that the recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan to protect neighborhoods from destabilizing influences is met, it is vital that this proposal provides safeguards designed to significantly avoid the potential for the facility to become a nuisance to the surrounding residents and thus, to the neighborhood. To accomplish this, the applicant developed a set of rules and standards by which the skateboard ramp will be constructed and used. The design of the ramp and the rules for its use should prevent the sound from and activity at the ramp from becoming "noise" and an intrusion on the surrounding residents. The applicant also personally visited with the adjacent residents, providing them with a copy of the standards and rules, and explained them to the residents. Further, the applicant went beyond the adjacent residents, and visited with residents in the blocks around the subject site. The applicant gained signatures of support from those he visited. Staff, therefore, concludes that the ramp will be constructed and operated in a manner such that it will not prove to be a destabilizing influence in the neighborhood. The attached conditions, reflective of the applicant's self-imposed rules and standards, will ensure this. Additionally, a condition is recommended requiring an annual review of the facility to make sure that the rules are being adhered to and the facility is not acting as a destabilizing influence on the neighborhood. Approval of the use permit is recommended, subject to the following conditions CONDITIONS 1. The skateboard ramp shall be located and constructed in substantial compliance with the submitted property survey and the submitted drawing entitled, "Smith Ramp," dated March 31, 2006. 2. Use of the ramp shall be limited to the hours between 10:00 a.m. and dusk. 3. To reduce the level of sound emanating from the ramp when in use, the following shall be utilized in the construction of the ramp: (a) the underside of the plywood beneath the skating surface shall be insulated; (2) the sides of the ramp shall be enclosed with wood; and (3) roofing paper shall be installed between the plywood and the skating surface of the ramp. 4. A chain shall be secured across the ramp when the ramp is not in use such that the ramp cannot be used. 5. At least one adult shall be outside the house and present when the ramp is in use. 6. The applicant shall enforce the rules submitted with the application regarding use of the ramp. The Zoning Administrator shall annually evaluate whether the rules have been enforced and the conditions above have been adhered to. If the evaluation reveals that the rules and conditions are being met, the GARY W. SMITH Agenda Item 1 Page 3 use permit shall be renewed for an additional year, with an annual evaluation thereafter. If the evaluation reveals that the rules and conditions are not being met, the Zoning Administrator shall refer the use permit to the City Council for revocation. 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.

Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Chairman. Today we have 14 items on our consent agenda. The first one I would like to call is agenda Item #1, Gary W. Smith. This is for a Conditional Use Permit for a skateboard ramp on property located at 804 Terrace Avenue in the Beach District. Welcome Mr. Smith and Crew. This is on the consent agenda with six conditions. Have you read them? Gary Smith: Yes ma'am. Janice Anderson: Crew, are you excited about your new ramp? Crew Smith: Yes. Ed Weeden: State your name for the record. Gary Smith: Gary Smith. Janice Anderson: It has been noted that you did a very good job in getting the support of your neighbors. We appreciate that. Gary Smith: Thank you. Janice Anderson: Is there any opposition to this application? Thank you. Jay Bernas will explain why we placed this on the consent agenda. Jay Bernas: This is a Conditional Use Permit application for a skateboard ramp in the Shadowlawn neighborhood of Virginia Beach. Primarily, this ramp will be used by his six -year old son Crew, and we think that this is a great application. He is incorporating some sound attenuation on the ramp. He's got all the adjacent property owners to sign off on the proposed ramp. In addition, the hours of operation will only be from 10:00 a.m. to dusk. It will be locked with a chain at all other times, and he is going to require anyone under the age of 18 be required to wear helmets. We think that is a good thing. There will always be an adult present during the use of the ramp. I would like to note that one Item #1 Gary W. Smith Page 2 of the Commissioners does have some concerns about safety, but due to the quality of this application, although he is reluctant, he is in favor of it. If he could, he would throw in a half vote or a three-quarter vote but I don't think that is possible. The Commission thinks that this is a good application, and that is why it is on the consent agenda. Janice Anderson: Thank you Jay. Gary Smith: Thank you for your consent. Crew Smith: Thank you. Janice Anderson: Mr. Chairman, I have a motion for approval of consent agenda item #1. Barry Knight: Thank you. There is a motion on the floor to approve the consent agenda item #1.

DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE ■ Considerations: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site for a church and associated accessory uses. The submitted master plan depicts the development of the church in four phases: Phase One — Youth Center. Initially, the Youth Center will also serve as the church congregational service center for Sunday morning, seating approximately 500 members. During the week, the building will be used as a Children's Learning Center providing before and after school tutoring, pre- school and daycare services. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The applicant anticipates start of construction in 2009. • Phase Two — Sanctuary, maintenance and equipment structure, and athletic fields. The sanctuary will seat 2,500 people. The sanctuary will also house offices for the pastors, a bookstore, and a coffee shop. An additional 750 parking spaces will be installed with this phase. The applicant anticipates start of construction in 2011. • Phase Three — Educational center. This building will be constructed to house the before and after school tutoring, pre-school and daycare services. It will serve 200 to 300 children. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. After this phase is complete, the Youth Center will be solely occupied by middle and high school aged children. The proposed educational center will be 14,865 square feet and 35-feet in height. The applicant anticipates start of construction in 2013. Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a/ Wave Church Page 2 of 3 • Phase Four — Chapel. The chapel will be 3,400 square feet and 30-feet in height. The chapel will seat 200 members and be used primarily for weddings and funerals. The applicant anticipates start of construction in 2015. The submitted development plans are acceptable. The plans depict a minimum of 50% open space on the site once all proposed development is complete. Additionally, the open space will be passive in the form of a walking and jogging trail through perimeter landscaping and active in the form of athletic fields. The submitted building elevations depict buildings to be constructed in a contemporary style with dark brown brick and light brown brick accents with green -tinted glass. The Master Transportation Plan depicts Seaboard Road as a 110-foot width right-of-way with a bikeway. A preliminary alignment done by the Department of Public Works in 2003 for an improved Seaboard Road includes some `straightening' of the curve at this location. Staff believes that the layout of the proposed uses on the site appear to allow sufficient space for the plan to be adjusted as needed to provide for the straightening. This issue will be further studied and discussed as part of the Traffic Impact Study mentioned below and during detailed site plan review. Reservation by the applicant of a portion of the site to allow for the straightening at some future date may be required, and some minor adjustments to the plan during Phase I may also be needed. As further phases beyond Phase I are brought forward, adjustments to the site plan will be necessary to accommodate the alignment. There was opposition to the request. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 8-3 to approve this request with the following conditions: The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted site plan entitled "WAVE CHURCH, SEABOARD ROAD, VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA, MASTER PLAN", prepared by Tymoff + Moss Architects, and dated May 30, 2006.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP)• Seaboard Road in front of this site is a two-lane collector street. There are no projects in the currently adopted Capital Improvement Projects to improve this section of Seaboard Road. However the Master Transportation Plan depicts Seaboard Road as a 110-foot width right-of-way with a bikeway. A preliminary alignment done in 2003 for an improved Seaboard Road includes some `straightening' of the curve at this location. The layout for the proposed uses on the site appear to allow sufficient space for the plan to be adjusted as needed to provide for the straightening. This issue will be further studied and discussed as part of the Traffic Impact Study mentioned below and during detailed site plan review. A Traffic Impact Study shall be required before any approvals for construction. A right turn and left turn lane may be required on Seaboard Road at both entrances to the site. The turn lanes will require rights -of -ways dedications during detailed site plan review. TRAFFIC: Street Name Present Volume Present Capacity Generated Traffic Seaboard Road 2,996 ADT 6,200 ADT Existing Land Use — 10 Proposed Land Use — Traffic Engineering reports that the trips cannot be determined with information provided Average Daily Trips z as defined by agricultural use WATER: City water does not front the site, but it may be extended for connection purposes provided hydraulic analysis supports the potential demand. Health Department approval is required. SEWER: City sanitary sewer is not available. Health Department approval is required for septic systems. Private grinder pumps and force main may be an option. The site is not within a pump station service area. Pump station analysis for potential receiving pump station and sanitary sewer collection system must be performed to ensure future flows can be accommodated. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site to be within the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Transition Area / Princess Anne. The land use planning policies and principles focus strongly on promoting this area as a well -planned, low density, fiscally sound and desirable destination for people to live, work, and play. "Development in the Transition Area is not to be considered as a continuation of the higher density growth as experienced in the northern urban area, but as a more limited type of growth, with its own development standards suitable to the character of the area where greater integration of natural resources and more open space is planned." (p. 147) EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request for a Conditional Use Permit for a church and associated accessory uses with the conditions listed below. The submitted revised site plans depicting a phased development of the site with a sanctuary, education center, youth center, chapel, 1000-space parking area, maintenance barn, equipment barn and ball fields is acceptable. The revised plans depict a minimum of 50% open space on the site once all proposed development is complete. Additionally the open space is to be passive in the form of a walking / jogging trail through perimeter landscaping and usable in the form of athletic fields. This is in keeping with the goals of the Princess Anne / Transition Area. The proposed berming and landscaping around the perimeter of the site and extensive use of storm water management ponds will enhance and soften the overall proposed development of the site. The submitted revised building elevations depicting the proposed buildings to be constructed with dark brown brick and light brown brick accents is more in keeping with the institutional buildings in the area and more complimentary to the surrounding uses.

Barry Knight: Welcome sir. Steven Lentz: Thank you very much Mr. Chairman, Steve Lentz for the record, and I represent the applicant here, and I appreciate the time and opportunity to pull up the rear today. We deferred this particular application 30 days ago to work with the City and the staff, and we're here to report back to you. We have been able to reach an accommodation. Just by way of brief review, I have John Tymoff, our architect, who took time off to be with us today. By way of brief review, we're talking about an expanding of the church that has been in operation and service to the community since 1954. Our Seaboard Road property was purchased in 1995 for the express purpose of building a church. That purpose has remained unchanged to this day. We're looking forward to growing and expanding. As the community grows and expands in this particular area, we will as well, and that is reflected in our phasing of our particular buildings that you will see on the master plan. Each phase depends on the growth of the community, number one; but number two, it all depends on the freedom of choice of the people in the community choosing our particular contemporary formof worship as their expression. So many times the master plan has been referred to almost as if it is a given. I wish I could be that optimistic, but in fact it is not. It will grow if the corridor grows, and if people decide they want to come to this particular church. But it is the freedom of choice that makes our country great, and that is what makes it special. That is why we can't buy just a cup of coffee. We have to give at least 25 instructions at Starbucks for the choice of coffee that we want. It's the same way with churches. There are many different inflections, reflections, and choices in this particular country. However, we understand that the freedom of choice also includes responsibility. It is that tension between choice and responsible behavior that I believe you're tasked with, and I admire you for it. I want to thank you very much for your time, and for the staff s time. It is the selection of that tension that I believe produces life in the community. So the accommodations that we have made since I've seen you last time reflect our opportunity to find that balance between our freedom of choice and expression and our freedom of Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 2 religion, but also responsible growth in the corridor, and being a good neighbor. To address a few of the things that came up in the informal session, there was a question about, again, the particular traffic concerns that might come up in this particular area. We're only building Phase I to begin with. The phasing will not start until 2009 at the earliest. We are talking about a pre-school and after -school care facility. It also has a day school. The majority of the activity that happens in this particular phase is before school and after school, and then on the weekend as a church. We don't anticipate that, even though we agree to the traffic study, we don't believe there is going to be a significant change in anything that is happening on Seaboard Road because we're going to be building a Phase I of our particular facility. The following phases, of course, will accompany the growth in the corridor, and we're happy to address those, and to work with the City anyway we can with turn lanes, exit ramps. Anything you decide in the future. A few other things. We have reduced our parking spaces. We have included, again, an effort to accommodate the neighbors. We have shifted, and if you look at this particular plan, we have shifted all of our parking away from the neighbors. This is a flyover view that is not in your JPEG files, but our neighbors are back here. We have moved all of the parking away from them. We have put a 25-foot, three to four foot high undulating and meandering berm with deciduous evergreen trees in an effort to create a barrier both for sound and for sight for the activity that is happening. We have also dropped Phase V. So, the overall green space, open space, at the end of the complete build out of this site is 61 percent. So, we feel, again, we have worked very hard to accommodate the wishes of the neighborhood and of the corridor. As far as sound goes, I just wanted to mention that we are working with Shuler Shook, which is a very high -end sound engineering group out of Chicago. These are the kind of engineers that make sure that sound doesn't jump from theatre one to theatre two inside the movie theatre. These are the folks who are designing our sanctuary and all of our sound requirements inside both Great Neck Road and also this particular facility. So, sound is a very important factor to us. Even having said that, the particular example that was used in the informal session, the amount of land that we have here is five times the amount of land of the example that was brought up in the informal session. It also has, as you can see, a road and a pond between it and the neighbors. So, I don't think sound is going to be a problem but again, as part of the condition, we are happy to work with any requirements that will be reasonable to try to accommodate neighbors should there be a moment of distraction that comes from the sound of any activities. So, having said all of that, we reduced our square footage, and we are very happy and very proud basically to present this revision of the plan to you. We hope that you agree with us and we can receive your approval. Any questions? Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Lentz. Any questions? Ms. Anderson. Janice Anderson: Thank you. You said that you had your technicians working at the Great Neck location. Have you had any complaints with any noise there at all? Steve Lentz: No. But as we go into our Phase 11 there and build our sanctuary, that is a Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 3 very big part of what we do. It needs to sound good on the outside and stay on the inside. I misstated. It sounds good on in the inside and stay on the inside. So we are working very hard. Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Thank you sir. Steve Lentz: Thank you. Barry Knight: Mr. Strange. Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition? John, did you have anything else you wanted to say? Barry Knight: Welcome sir. John Tymoff: Good afternoon. My name is John Tymoff, Tymoff & Moss Architects. Mr. Lentz omitted one other modification that we made and that was in the color palette for the project. Rather than maintain the connection with the Great Neck campus, which is stainless steel and light color brick, we have moved to a dark, warm chocolate brown and light tan accent bricks, as well as changing from a blue glass to an evergreen glass, and the color of the mullions will also be in keeping with a light tan color depicted somewhat here. So that was another modification that we made based on your and Staff s recommendations. Barry Knight: Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Tymoff? Mr. Tymoff, last time when you were here we noted some concerns, and we asked you to put up a berm and the trees. We asked you to phase it down in size and scope. We also asked you to evaluate turn lanes, which is in our package also. As far as the color brick and glass and everything, and you have done that. We appreciate that. We know that neighbors have some more concerns. We're certainly going to listen to them, but so far we appreciate to the lengths to which you have gone to try to help satisfy things. Are there any other questions? Thank you sir. John Tymoff: Thank you. Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have Laura Sisino. Barry Knight: Welcome ma'am. Laura Sisino: Good afternoon. My name is Laura Sisino. I'm here before you to speak in opposition of the current plans of the Wave Church. First let me say that I don't think _ anyone is opposed to a church being built on this property. We welcome it in the community and it is a welcomed addition. There has never been a question as to what the Wave Church offers and does. It is a good thing. We know that. But some of the key Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 4 issues here are that Seaboard Road is a small winding country road, which has had numerous unfortunate vehicles finding their way into the ditches. I would like to be able to hand out data in reference to that, but they are not recorded in the police data; so, I am unable to share with you the exact numbers. But being a resident of Seaboard Road, I have personally witnessed many cars in ditches by the proposed site because of the curve there. The congestion that is already found at the two schools and at Foxfire is extremely frustrating to deal with now. Imagine what it would be like once there is a 500 and a 2,500 member facility that will hold several services on Sunday during the day and evening along with other activities that hundreds may come to during the week. At last night's Council meeting, and what I took from that, and I know it came up at the meeting this morning about Nimmo Parkway, from what I understood from that meeting last night, is that they are fighting very hard to get that approved, and get the funds for that. And it sounds like that is not going to happen for a very long time. So we need other answers. We need the traffic issues solved for this area. As I listened this morning, it seems madness that the new design is a better plan and seems acceptable by most on the committee. Let me ask you this? If you grew up in a little farmhouse across the street in this rural area, how would you feel sitting on your front porch every morning looking at such an urban contemporary massive building? I moved here to feel like I lived in the country. If I really wanted to drive by something like this everyday, I would have chosen to live in the northern part of the city. But that is not where I chose or many of the other residents that live in this area. The scope, scale, style and magnitude of the project's proposal, as well as the use, will be intrusive to the neighborhood and does not fit into the Princess Anne Transition Area Guidelines that were created not to ruin the area's character and over burden the roads. Barry Knight: Thank you ma'am. Are there any questions for Ms. Sisino? Thank you ma'am Joseph Strange: The next speaker is Chris Keylor. Barry Knight: Welcome sir. Chris Keylor: Good afternoon. Chris Keylor, 2565 Seaboard Road. I wanted to talk about the proposal. First off, I would like to acknowledge the Wave Church representative did eventually meet with us. As neighbors, we appreciate that. He did make a number of accommodations based both on your requests and our requests from the last meeting. Nonetheless, I think it is important that we consider this proposal on its own merits, and not to the extent that it is better than what was previously an unacceptable proposal. So I would like to point out a number of things, and first off is the sound. There was good discussion about that, and we just recently received, just before this meeting, an amended set of conditions. Now there are ten conditions. One of those included the sound. We are very supportive of that as a directly adjacent neighbor, especially because our house is a historic structure, has single -pane windows, and that is important to the historic nature of the building. Therefore, it is not practical for us to put Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 5 in double -pane -triple pane windows to kill the sound. So, it is going to be more incumbent on the church to be a responsible neighbor in that fashion. So we do definitely appreciate that. The third thing that I wanted to mention is the new scope of this proposal. This proposal for a 2,500 seat convention center is still bigger than the old Virginia Beach Convention Center or the Pavilion. I recognize that it is smaller than what they proposed before, but it is still a very, very large proposal. It is still over 80,000 square feet, and still includes, and you have seen in the proposal a dozen different utilizations of this space, which again is going to carry traffic and is a high intensity, high -density use not appropriate for the Transition Area. The next thing that I wanted to mention, which has been mentioned by others, is that Seaboard Road is really not a good place for this. Seaboard Road, and specifically there, is a winding road. There has been opposition expressed to you and also in the local paper that this isn't just a great place for this to be. Seaboard Road may have additional capacity, but Princess Anne, which is where everyone is going from, and Seaboard Road backs up regularly during school hours. And to wrap up, I wanted to review what previous Planning Commissions have recommended. In March 1995, they approved capacity for 750, and they specifically noted that the proposal that had been drafted before then suggested that it might grow to 1,500, and would prove intrusive in a rural neighborhood. Now we're talking about 2,500, which is a whole other scale beyond that. Then, in February 1997, the approval was just for ball fields, and they made a specific note that no activities generating traffic during school hours should be allowed. Now we're talking about a pre-school, a day school, an actual school, and after school care. All of which are going to generate traffic right during the time period when the school is bringing children in and bringing children out. So those are my concerns. Largely, around the scale of this and the appropriateness on Seaboard Road. Thank you. Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Keylor. Are there any questions? Thank you sir. Mr. Ripley. Ronald Ripley: How long have you lived in your house? Chris Keylor: Since 2001. Ronald Ripley: The Conditional Use Permit you just referred to was a Conditional Use Permit that was passed in 1995. Chris Keylor: There was one in 1995 and another in 1997. Ronald Ripley: In 1997, were you aware of those when you purchased your house - that there was a Conditional Use Permit for a large proposed church? _ Chris Keylor: We were aware that the church had owned the property and had general plans. We were not familiar with the exact number of seats proposed in those plans. Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 6 Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Thank you sir. Chris Keylor: Can I make a 10 second clarification? In regard to the sound attenuation, we also feel that it is important that is considered part of Phase I. Phase I, which would include the teen services on Saturday nights, which will also produce general noise, given their style of church. Barry Knight: Thank you. We'll get him to address that on the rebuttal. Joseph Strange: The next speaker is Bernard J. Byrne. Barry Knight: Welcome sir. Bernard Byrne: Good afternoon. Members of the Commission, I sent you a note. Ed Weeden: Sir, state your name for the record. Bernard Byrne: I'm sorry. My name is Bernard Byrne. I live in the Foxfire neighborhood, which is up the road. Again, I sent you a note at your May meeting. I also submitted an updated message this past Monday. I do not have time to discuss all the problems I see with this application. However, let me just focus on one of the biggest problems that comes to mind. Traffic. I realize that a Traffic Impact Study will be required for review and approval before any construction begins, but even without a TIS, you are being asked to approve this application through Phase IV and to include Phase IV, which calls for a 2,500-seat sanctuary and 1,000-car parking lot. Consider this. How difficult will it be to get 1,000 cars out of this site after a service? Seaboard Road is a two-lane rural road, winding, with mostly non-existent shoulders with deep drainage ditches on both sides. Most of the cars exiting this site will be turning left and driving north along Seaboard Road around the corner, around another curve, up to the light at Foxfire. Then they will be faced with the dilemma of turning right or left on a two-lane Princess"Anne Road and adding to the congestion along General Booth Boulevard or Holland Road or points west. This traffic crunch will ultimately impact on other parts of the city: Present day traffic on Seaboard Road and two-lane Princess Anne Road is currently a mess. This facility will only make it worse and should not be approved. Thank you. Barry Knight: Thank you sir. Are there any questions for Mr. Byrne? Thank you sir. Joseph Strange: Those are all the speakers who have signed up. Do we have anybody else? Barry Knight: Mr. Lentz. Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 7 Steve Lentz: Just in response to two of the things. Mr. Keylor kept referring to our sanctuary as a convention center. The City has a great convention center. We're just building a sanctuary. The second thing is, again, the phasing, and we're not generating traffic. We are responders. We're a passive entity in this town. So, if the traffic is out there, and if the community is out there, then some of them will come to our church. In 2009, we're providing for 250 cars. I think that during the week that the traffic is already on that road for the schools and everything, so there is no additional traffic. We will start, if things go well, Phase II sometime around 2011, and it will probably conclude by 2013. Hopefully, by then, all of us will have better solutions for traffic out in this corridor. Again, I just want to restate that we don't create the traffic congestion out there. We are responders. We're not building a development. If they are out there, then we are serving the community. So, I just want to clarify that. Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Mr. Lentz? Mr. Ripley. Ronald Ripley: I have a question, and Mr. Scott can join in with this too. The original plan for the Conditional Use Permit had the building set back further from the road. This plan has the building closer to the road for dramatic effect, I would think. I'm sure it would be very effective. With the additional potential road needs, I see that the Master Transportation Plan is 110 feet, if I read that correctly. My question is do you feel it is set back far enough, and number two, is if it weren't set back far enough and a taking was to occur for public needs, the road, how do you feel about that, and have you all considered that because that will impact the aesthetics of your building considerably? Have you considered bringing the building back a little bit? You have enough land now that you can loosen it up to do that? Steve Lentz: That is very good point. Ronald Ripley: I would hate to see that happen. Let me ask Mr. Scott. Is that adequate setback? Are you comfortable with that? Robert Scott: Our judgment at this point is that it is, but if and when the day comes that we widen Seaboard Road, I want to tell you that our first choice is to see how long we can go without widening Seaboard Road. Our first choice for all roads down there is to keep them separately rural if that is the case. The residents that are speaking here are correct. This is a challenge for that road. Our judgment is it's okay, but I understand your concern about that. This is a challenge for that road, but the key question, if and when it comes time, is, are you going to widen the road on the existing alignment or are you going to try to take that curve out? We haven't really decided. That is not something that will always work all the way through. So, our best answer at this point is that what they have on their site plan is the best answer we can get at this point and we're reasonably comfortable with it. Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 8 Ronald Ripley: And you are too? If they were taking land for the road, you would lose the aesthetics. Steve Lentz: As we demonstrated, we plan on fitting into the community. So whatever has to happen out there for the best of the community, we will participate in it. We already allowed for some taking. John Tymoff: If I may address. It is a very good question. In Phase H, as you see up here there has already been a widening of the roadway and increase in the public right-of-way. So, that contemplated the building being set back. If you could go back to slide one, you will see. that this is the current roadway. Barry Knight: You can use your pointer sir. John Tymoff: The current roadway is right along this slide. In Phase H, if you watch the corner property, the next slide, the widening of the road as well as the deceleration and acceleration lanes in there. It was contemplated for road widening if that did occur, and it correspond to the City's plan. Thank you. Barry Knight: Mr. Ripley. Is there anything else? Ronald Ripley: No. I just wanted to make sure that all the parties were aware of it. I was concerned where that building sites upon the corner. It doesn't give you any relief, and then you got this potential taking. Robert Scott: Mr. Ripley, if I could just add one more thought to that. If you look at the big picture of that challenge, and I think it is potentially a challenge, you will see that the biggest part of the challenge is not working the road from here, but finding a way to responsibly get it between the two schools, Princess Anne Elementary School and Princess Anne Middle School, and that almost demands someone coming up with a different kind of idea. I think that is going to be a real tough part of the problem right there. Barry Knight: Mr. Lentz. We keep hearing today two very main concerns. I'll start which I will consider the easy one is the sound attenuation. Mr. Keylor has an older house. It is a very well maintained. We have been back there. It is nice looking. We would like to see it stay the way it is. He is not going to want to put in his double and triple pane glass. So we have added a condition. Please be cognizant of your sound and your attenuation. Please do that. We got some provisions in here. The other one is a little a bit harder to tackle, which is the traffic issue. We have in here the present volume on Seaboard Road, which is about 3,000 cars a day. The present capacity is about 6,200, but they are average daily trips. The trips, when you know that everyone lets their kid off, no one rides a school bus anymore. It doesn't seem like that at Princess Anne Middle School. The cars in there, when it is time to go school and get out of school, is when it is Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 9 really a traffic jam in there. It would really help your church if you could stagger your traffic flow to when people aren't going to work, and particularly to schools. So, could you tell me how you're going to try to stagger them? Steve Lentz: Sure. Actually, right now, as I mentioned before, our school activity, which is the principal activity during the week, is pre-school and after -school. We do have a Montessori school there, but the primary school load of our school is pre-school and after -school. So, our traffic would really be before the school traffic on Seaboard Road, and it would be after the traffic on Seaboard Road. So, Monday through Friday, which is where you have the real denser activity, I would imagine, we are not really in the middle of that, and don't have any plans to be. There is nothing in our church profile that changes that particular reality. On weekends, again, we are around other different times on Sunday. Barry Knight: The school wouldn't be in session at that time? Steve Lentz: Our school activities are Monday through Friday. Barry Knight: Right. Are there any questions for Mr. Lentz? Thank you sir. Steve Lentz: Thank you. Barry Knight: We'll open it up for discussion. Mr. Crabtree. Eugene Crabtree: I am inclined to agree with the traffic situation. And I think the proposed application, on what they're doing out there, is premature without the traffic situation being corrected first. I think that is first and foremost. We are looking at what is the best use for land. That is what is we are supposed to be doing. I am not convinced that there on Seaboard Road, with the traffic and everything that is going on, that this is the best use for that land. Even though they have done many changes that have come in line with what we asked or what the neighborhood has asked, I intend to agree with some of the neighbors and some of the things they have proposed. And consequently, I still don't believe this is the best use for that piece of property. I think there are places in the city that this particular thing would really be great. Would really be outstanding. I just don't think Seaboard Road is one of them. I'm sorry. But I will not be supporting the application. Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Crabtree. Ms. Wood. Dorothy Wood: Gene, I certainly appreciate what you're saying about the traffic, and traffic is a problem. I don't think the traffic is going to get better for many years in Virginia Beach. But I so appreciate what they have done. They have really worked with the neighbors. They worked with staff. They have worked with Planning Commission. I have probably a hundred calls, as probably many of you had, with people supporting this Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 10 application. So, when the time is right, I would like to make a motion that we accept the application. Barry Knight: Okay. We'll accept your first. Ms. Anderson. Janice Anderson: Yes. Barry Knight: Let me back up please. We have a first on the floor. I would like to ask for a second. Ms. Katsias is a second. So, there is a motion on the floor by Dot Wood and a second by Kathy Katsias. I'll open it back up for discussion. Thank you Ms. Anderson. Janice Anderson: Sure. I just have to say that we received several phone calls, at least I have, and I know Ms. Wood did too, several phone calls from the congregation. They have to be the politest group of people hat I have met. The volume was a little heavy but they were sure polite. I believe those two issues are hard ones to resolve the burden of the roads. That is no question, but with how they are phasing this out, and how the different activities will come and go, some will be church services and some will be pre- school. I think with that variety on this site, it won't be too much of a burden, and that it would be detrimental to the area. The other thing is the character and does it fit in? I think what the church has done to change. They have gone around with the changing of the color to fit in with the rural community. I applaud them on that. The design is much nicer. I think it is an attractive project. With the condition on the sound attenuation, the gentleman mentioned that he wanted it in all phases. I think it is clear. I think the way they have the new amendment number four on the condition would cover that, but I wouldn't have any opposition to making sure that reflects all phases including sound attenuation even in the first phase with the pre -day care center. So, I would be supportive. Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Ripley. Ronald Ripley: I do appreciate the applicant working with everybody. I think, and hopefully he understands the intent of the additional amendment this morning. It is really just to set up the spirit of cooperation so that everybody understands that is the intent, neighbors and church. I think when you go back and look at the Conditional Use Permits that were issued in the past, I see Mr. Cockrell signed as one Chairman and Mr. Vakos was the other. I think the die was cast a long time ago that there was going to be a large church here. It seemed to be the intent here. These Conditional Use Permits reflect that. In some cases, it looks like the sizes were ultimately planned to be this size or bigger. I think that the changes that have been made certainly isn't quite what I envisioned for the Transition Area, but I think given the fact that it is what the other Conditional Use Permits say, and the intent was there, and I think given the quality that this would be and the important role that this church is planning in this specific area, I think it is good to see Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 11 what happened from that point of view. I think scaling back was really important. We appreciate that very much. Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Ripley. Mr. Henley. Al Henley: Thank you. Once again, I would like to ditto the comments towards Wave Church and its followers that they did an excellent job on working with staff in this rural neighborhood. It is more acceptable than it was originally. I'll go back to the traffic condition, and I'm sure you were present in the informal session. When I had the privilege of being appointed to the Planning Commission, I took an oath, and in that oath, I swore that I would uphold the laws of the City of Virginia Beach, and to give every vote a serious thought before I made a comment or voted, and primarily for public safety. I think Seaboard Road is a very treacherous road. It is a rural road as Mr. Scott indicated, and there are probably no plans for widening or improving that road to accommodate those vehicles that use it today. Princess Anne Road is atrocious. And I made a comment earlier that if you have an opportunity to use Seaboard Road, try to make a left turn to go to City Hall, and by waiting about two to three cycles of that traffic light you may be lucky to get out. The road is already over capacity. As the gentleman said earlier, you're not creating the problem, but you are certainly contributing to the problem because of the need of your followers that will be coming to this particular church in order to worship and have child day care center, and all the other amenities that you provide. They are going to come, if you build it. And it is just going to create additional traffic problems on Seaboard Road. It is an accident waiting to happen. It is unfortunate that Nimmo Parkway, and we don't have a crystal ball to see when that particular roadway to come on. I wish it was in the plan today. I certainly do. I've seen Princess Anne Road back up from Holland Road all the way to the church, the Baptist church, which is probably a distance of a mile and a half or two miles. That is unacceptable. And by voting on this positive today, I will only be contributing to the already overcrowded conditions on Seaboard Road and Princess Anne Road. Without further delay, based on the traffic conditions solely, Seaboard Road and Princess Anne Road are already overcrowded with atrocious traffic conditions, I will not be able to support this application. Thank you. Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Waller. John Waller: I think they have done a very good job of addressing the concerns that we have and that a lot of people had. I think traffic is a concern, but I think in the way they are phasing it, by the time they get the whole thing built and you got 2,500 seats in there, something will be done with that road. It is almost a major road. I noticed in there they got it in the Transportation Plan, so it is going to be a I I0-foot right-of-way some day. With the two schools that are back there, there is a lot of traffic. That whole area is growing. I think that whether this building is built or not, the City if going to have to do _ something that way. Not because of the church, but I think it will happen. I can't see not approving this and just hoping the traffic will go away or won't come. I just think it will happen. I'm in favor of it. Item #28 Virginia Beach Christian Life Center d/b/a Wave Church Page 12 Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Waller. Are there any other comments? One comment that I would like to get on the record is what I said in the informal session today. Mr. Henley is correct that Princess Anne Road is backed up terribly. If you're waiting to get out of Seaboard Road or waiting to get into Seaboard Road or to go through Seaboard Road, or pass it by Princess Anne Road, the traffic is terrible. There are three or four times per day it is almost grid locked down here. We have to get Nimmo Parkway funded. We just can't say it enough. I know they got some time frames. They keep backing us up. The State does. I just want to get in the verbatim that we need to do everything possible to get Nimmo Parkway built and completed. If and when that happens, it is going to help facilitate some of the traffic on Seaboard Road. We just need to send a signal that whether this application passes or fails, we still need to get Seaboard Road in there, because we're holding some people's property hostage because of the traffic situation that should have been rectified ten years ago. Are there any other questions or comments? There is a motion on the floor to approve Virginia Beach Christian Wave Church, agenda item #28. The motion was made by Dot Wood and seconded by Kathy Katsias. I'll call for the question.

Jane F. Addenbrook 2921 Seed R",d Vz+t.;4 $e4d, VA 23456 Phone 757-689-2600 fax 757-689-2901 June 11, 2006 To Planning Commission, The current proposed plan of the Wave Church still falls short on the guidelines of the Princess Anne/Transition Area that were created by and with city council, environmentalists, and property owners. These guidelines were created so as not to ruin the areas rural character and over burden the roads. The new plan is better than the first, BUT, in my opinion and several other residents the current design and scale still does NOT fit in the neighborhood. The Wave Church in its current design is better suited for the northern, more urban part of the city. The proposals for this site bring a much higher intensity of use in this area of the City than the guidelines in the Transition Area planned for: Why the Wave Church does NOT fit in some of the guidelines: 1. The proposed building design is modern, and the urban style of the buildings and the site layout do not lend themselves to the surrounding "rural" neighborhood. 2. The scope, scale, style and magnitude of the project's proposed use will be intrusive to the neighborhood. 3. Seaboard Road is a narrow road that with this proposed plan will become very congested given that the site calls for a 2500 member facility to hold several services on Sunday during the day and evening along with other activities that will bring heavy traffic to this area 7 days a week that this narrow curvy road can not handle. Below are some highlights of the guidelines that the Wave Church is not adhering to: Comprehensive Plan/Princess Anne/Transition Area Guidelines 1. "Development potential in this area is kept purposefully low. This minimizes the level of impact on existing public infrastructure; avoids the need for higher level and more expensive urban improvements; and, in keeping with the intent of the Green Line, ensures that citizens in other parts of the city will not be subsidizing capital improvements to support higher density, more urban type development in this area" (p.142-143) 2. Proposed development within this area should "Design with Nature, making a special effort to preserve and showcase significant environmental resources and open space areas" (p. 147) 3. "The relationship of a building to its surroundings, both natural and built, is important to its success. That relationship is primarily conveyed through the scale, mass, height, and proportion utilized in the design" (p. 158) There is no question, nor has there been that a church would be welcomed to the community, but the design, scale and magnitude of what the Wave Church is proposing for Seaboard Road simply does not fit nor blend into the neighborhood. Let's work together to shape this area and provide a clear vision as a community that will respect its past while we plan for its future in providing and preserving the quality this wonderful area deserves. Please strictly adhere to the Princes Anne/Transition Area Guidelines so we can achieve this goal. Thank you. Sincerely, Laura A. Sisino: Date: June 8, 2006 From: Chris Keylor, 2565 Seaboard Road To: Faith Christie, Virginia Beach Planning Department Cc: Steve Lentz, Wave Church Subject: CUP for Virginia Beach Christian Life Center on Seaboard Road Ms. Christie, I reside at 2565 Seaboard Road, directly adjacent to the subject property. Mr. Lentz from Wave Church took the time to meet with me to discuss their current plan. This new plan is certainly improved in several aspects and I appreciate his time reviewing the details. Our discussion centered around concerns I have as a directly adjacent neighbor and also based on the current Wave Church on Great Neck where I noted several areas of concern if they are to develop on Seaboard Road. We agreed to disagree on the topic of the overall scale of the proposal and appropriateness for the transition area and did not discuss it further (I continue to have significant concerns with the overall scale of the proposed development). We reviewed several items during our meeting: I. Communications Towers - The Wave church has a cell phone tower on their property at Great Neck. Given the already controversial architecture I asked if he would proffer that they would not be building any communications towers on this site. Request —proffer that they will not construct communications towers on this property. 2. Dumpsters — The Wave church on Great Neck has a dumpster directly visible from the road and not screened. Request — I would like Wave Church to proffer screening of dumpsters on all 4 sides as part of their submission. I Sound Attenuation - I understand there were problems with sound carrying from the Great Neck church to adjacent neighbors. Request: proffer inclusion of sound attenuation as part of each phase to prevent sound from carrying over to adjacent neighbors. CUP Virginia Beach Christian Life Center Page 1 of 2 4. Designated overnight parking — There are trailers and buses parked in several areas at the Great Neck site. Request: proffer a designated overnight parking area adjacent to the barns for all vehicles. 5. Ball Fields — We would prefer that the ball fields not be lighted. There are already many lighted ball fields within walking distance at Princess Anne Elementary. 6. Request: proffer no lights as part of the entire open space area along the Western section of the property, including the ball fields. Berming — We are very pleased to see the addition of the berming around the perimeter of the property. We would like to see this berming included as part of phase 1, to screen all neighbors from the ongoing construction that will be occurring over the proposed 5 year construction period. At a minimum we would like berming along the ball fields if they are in fact part of phase 1. I believe Wave Church could reasonably accommodate these requests as part of their overall plan with little to no additional cost and no impact to their ability to perform their mission as a church. CUP Virginia Beach Christian Life Center Page 2 of 2 Date: June 13, 2006 From: Chris Keylor, 2565 Seaboard Road To: Faith Christie, Virginia Beach Planning Department Subject. CUP for Wave Church on Seaboard Road Ms. Christie, I reside at 2565 Seaboard Road, directly adjacent to the subject property. I would like to express significant concerns with the current proposal for development of a convention center and church campus on this farmland. First though I'd like to acknowledge the Wave church representative for his willingness to meet with staff and neighbors, myself included, to review this most recent plan and for addressing several of the shortcomings of the May submission. Nonetheless, I feel it is important that this submission be reviewed on its own merits, not the extent to which it's better than a previously unacceptable submission. There are three areas I believe are relevant in reviewing the proposed scale of this submission: Previous planning commission recommendations, Seaboard road as a location, and the Princess Anne Transition Area guidelines: 1. Previous Planning Commission Recommendations — even before the Princess Anne transition area guidance was drafted the Planning Commission had reviewed two submissions from the Wave church and each time approved only a very limited scale development: March 1995 - approval was for a sanctuary with seating for 750, classrooms, administrative offices, kitchen and 330 parking spaces and did not approve additional phases which would have grown the sanctuary to seating for 1500, noting that such a scale "may prove intrusive in the rural neighborhood." February 1997 - approval was for construction of the ball fields (athletic fields) and associated parking only. Any further construction on the facility was indefinitely deferred. There is nothing in the church's latest submission to justify approval of such a significantly larger proposal. On the contrary, the amount of proposed open space has actually decreased from the submissions cited above because of the scale of the current plan. 2. Seaboard Road and the surrounding rural community is not an appropriate place for a convention center - in this area of Seaboard Road there are still horses out at pasture, areas of beautiful farmland, and several significant historic structures: • `Jonathan Fentress' House - 2565 Seaboard Road — this is our home. It was constructed in 1794 by Jonathan Fentress. After an extensive restoration in 1997, the Virginia Beach planning commission recognized it for Outstanding Rural Residential Development. CUP Wave Church Page I of 2 • `Robert Mason' House - 2817 Seaboard Road — Originally constructed in 1720 by Robert Mason this house has also undergone some restoration and is recognized in several historic inventories of the area. Seaboard Road is a quiet two lane rural road not appropriate for the location of a convention center. This concern was one of several highlighted in an article in the Virginian Pilot', in which the reporter cites concerns from many neighbors: "To approve much more development without improving that road is asking for trouble," said Jennifer Jeffers, president of the Foxfire Civic League, a neighborhood near the proposed Wave campus. "There's a road and a ditch and no margin for error." There are no plans to expand Seaboard Road in the foreseeable future and Princess Anne Road is specifically designated to remain a two lane rural road in this area. 3. The scale of this proposal does not meet Princess Anne Transition Area guidance The city has gone to significant effort to preserve the rural character of the Princess Anne area and has drafted specific guidance to help maintain the important historic and agricultural roots of the southern part of Virginia Beach. This guidance went through public comment, city council approval, has received widespread support, and should be applied consistently in this proposal. The current proposal includes a 2500 seat convention center, a coffee house and bookstore, offices, a chapel, a youth center, a warehouse, a bus storage area, a bus maintenance facility, an education center with pre-school, after school, and daycare, sports fields, and acres of parking. In addition, the Wave church website indicates there is a possibility for a `Wave Leadership College' at this location in the future.2 This proposal includes more than 80, 000 square feet of indoor space. The old Virginia Beach Convention Center ("The Pavilion") had less exhibit and meeting space and only slightly more parking than just the proposed youth, education, and main hall proposed in this plan and was served by a major highway and infrastructure which Seaboard Road does not have. I appreciate your consideration of my comments and hope that the Virginia Beach Christian Life Center will instead propose a church in keeping with the scale and rural character of the surrounding area. http://home hamptonroads.com/stories/stop,.cfm?story=97373&ran=176715 Z Page 2, http://www.wavechurch.com/Documents/daycolle-ce.Pdf 3 http://www.vbgov.cone/dept/cvd/vbcc/0.1826,8364.00.html CUP Wave Church Page 2 of 2 T© mEMgE&s of TC/E -JI-VNE IA.)

DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE ■ Considerations: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for a church expansion to allow a structure for ancillary church functions and educational programs. This proposal is for the construction of a 13,000 square foot modular building to replace two existing 12 foot by 60 foot modular trailers (approximately 1,440 square feet). The proposed building is similar to the structures utilized by the Virginia Beach Public Schools for additional space at the public schools. This proposed structure would consist of seventeen (17) units connected at the seams to from one single building. The building would house twelve (12) classrooms, seven (7) offices, a library and one large meeting room. The proposed structure will not increase the seating capacity of the church sanctuary. The new building will be used for additional Sunday School classes and meeting spaces for various ministries and a number of community groups. Staff concludes that the replacement of the existing modular units with this larger modular structure is appropriate, as the structure will be located in a rear corner of the site that is not highly visible from the adjoining roadways. The new structure will also result in the improvement of a portion of the property that appears somewhat neglected. An existing mini -warehouse facility is located to the south at this corner of the site, and the western side consists of the rear of multi -family residential condominium units. The modular structure will also be landscaped, and additional requirements may be imposed during detailed site plan review to ensure that the structure is appropriately sited and screened from roadway vista and adjoining properties. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the proposed addition will replace existing trailers, the addition is not intended to increase the capacity of the sanctuary, and there was no opposition. Kempsville Presbyterian Church Page 2 of 3 ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this request with the following conditions: The proposed building location shall be as depicted in the submitted site plan entitled "Physical Survey of Parcel 1, Subdivision of Properties of Kempsville Presbyterian Church and Gemini Builders, Inc. and Parcel B-4, Subdivision of Parcel B Property of Rock Church Virginia Beach, VA for Trustees of Kempsville Presbyterian Church" by WPL and as conditioned below. 2: The building shall be constructed as depicted in the submitted elevations entitled "Elevation" dated 01-20-2006 by Sunshine Manufactured Structures, Inc. 3. A site plan meeting the requirements of the Site Plan Ordinance shall be submitted to the Development Services Center for review and approval prior to any site work or construction work on the modular unit. 4. The existing trailers on the property shall be removed after the new modular unit is constructed and prior to a Certificate of Occupancy being issued for the modular unit. 5. Landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the Site Plan Ordinance. 6. The modular unit shall not be used as an annex to the sanctuary of the church for the purpose of increasing the capacity of the church via audio and video transmission of services to the modular unit. 7. All outdoor lighting shall be shielded to direct light and glare onto the property; said lighting and glare shall be deflected, shaded and focused away from adjoining property. 8. The maximum number of students allowed in the modular unit shall be limited to 260. 9. A Certificate of Occupancy shall be obtained from the Planning Department prior to the modular unit being utilized. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Disclosure Statement Planning Commission Minutes Location Map Kempsville Presbyterian Church Page 3 of 3 Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

A Conditional Use Permit for the church was granted on May 14, 1979. A Conditional Use Permit for an expansion to this church was granted March 23, 1993. This proposal is for a 13, 000 square foot modular building to replace two 12 foot by 60 foot trailers (approximately 1440 square feet). The proposed structure will not increase the seating capacity of the church sanctuary. The new building will be used for additional Sunday School classes and meeting spaces for various ministries and a number of community groups. The new building will also provide educational programs through Oaktree Academy, a home school organization which will use classrooms on weekdays from 8:30 AM until 4:00 PM. This is not a traditional school where students attend five days a week. This university model school has elementary age (Grades 1-6) attending on Tuesday & Thursday, and high school age (7-12th grades) attending Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Total student enrollment includes full time & part time students, meaning of those numbers in either elementary or high school, approximately one third of the students attend for one or two classes during a day. The proposed building is similar to the structures utilized by the Virginia Beach Public Schools for additional space. This proposed structure would consist of seventeen (17) units connected at the seams to from one single building. The building would house twelve (12) classrooms, seven (7) offices, a library and one large meeting room.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Kempsville Road in the vicinity of this application is classified as a four -lane minor urban arterial. There are currently no CIP projects scheduled for this section of Kempsville Road. TRAFFIC: Street Name Present Volume Present Capacity Generated Traffic Kempsville Road 33,552 ADT 14,800 ADT (Level of Existing Land Use — 0 Service "C") ADT 22,800 ADT' (Capacity / Proposed Land Use 3— Level of Service "D") 645 ADT 27,400 ADT' (Level of Service "E" Average Daily Trips z as defined by no use currently s as defined by 260 students daily Based on Public Works Traffic Engineering's review a right turn lane on Kempsville Road would not be warranted if the number of students is 260 or less students. WATER: This site has an existing 1 1/2-inch water meter (Meter 95017752) which may be used or upgraded.. There is a 16-inch water line, 36-inch transmission main and a 24-inch transmission main along Kempsville Road. There is an existing 8-inch water line, 36-inch transmission main and a 24-inch transmission main along Locke Lane. KEMPSVILLE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Agenda Item 10 Page 2 SEWER: This site must connect to City sanitary sewer. Analysis of Pump Station 417 and the sanitary sewer collection system is required to ensure future flows can be accommodated. There is an existing 8-inch gravity line and a 20-inch HRSD force main along Kempsville Road. There is an existing 8-inch gravity line along Locke Lane. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT: There is an increase in impervious area. This will be addressed during site plan review. FIRE: The Fire Department will provide a complete review of the site plan during Development Services Center's (DSC) review process. The submitted site plan appears to lack adequate fire department access to the proposed structure. The travel distance to the closest fire hydrant appears to exceed 400 feet. These issues should be addressed by the applicant prior to submittal of a site plan to DSC. POLICE: To reduce opportunity for burglary, high security locks should be installed on exterior doors. The installation of an alarm system is recommended within the modular structure to help deter burglary of items such as computers, audio-visual equipment and other school related materials. Good security lighting should be installed around the structure. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as being within COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 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 these neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering future development. Developing a mix of compatible uses either within well -designed structures or well -designed tracts of land should also be considered in this area, provided such action contributes to the quality, attractiveness and livability of the neighborhood. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of this request for a church expansion for classrooms with the conditions provided below. This proposal is not an expansion of the sanctuary for new membership; it is to provide additional educational opportunities for home school and ancillary church functions. The home school program meeting times are scheduled outside of regular church hours. There is ample parking on the site to accommodate the educational programs. Students in elementary grades come on different days than students in the upper grade levels, which will reduce the number of daily vehicle trips. The proposed modular structure is a simple utilitarian building with white vinyl siding on the exterior and a flat rubber roof system. The location of the building will be behind the church and the building will be sited to provide easy access for emergency response vehicles. CONDITIONS 1. The proposed building location shall be as depicted in the submitted site plan entitled "Physical Survey of Parcel 1, Subdivision of Properties of Kempsville Presbyterian Church and Gemini Builders, Inc. and Parcel B-4, Subdivision of Parcel B Property of Rock Church Virginia Beach, VA for Trustees of Kempsville Presbyterian Church" by WPL and as conditioned below. 2. The building shall be constructed as depicted in the submitted elevations entitled "Elevation" dated 01- 20-2006 by Sunshine Manufactured Structures, Inc. 3. A site plan meeting the requirements of the Site Plan Ordinance shall be submitted to the Development Services Center for review and approval prior to any site work or construction work on the modular unit. 4. The existing trailers on the property shall be removed after the new modular unit is constructed and prior to a Certificate of Occupancy being issued for the modular unit. 5. Landscaping shall be installed in accordance with the Site Plan Ordinance. 6. The modular unit shall not be used as an annex to the sanctuary of the church for the purpose of increasing the capacity of the church via audio and video transmission of services to the modular unit. 7.

Strayer University traces its roots to April 1892, when MDr. S. Irving Strayer founded Strayer's Business College of Baltimore City. The college expanded to Washington, D.C. in 1904. Dr. Strayer recognized that working adults needed the appropriate education to stay current with rapidly changing business requirements at the turn of the century. The school was eventually renamed Strayer College and was licensed to grant bachelor of science degrees in 1969. In 1973, it was accredited as a Senior College of Business by the Accrediting Commission of the Association of Independent Colleges and Schools, and, in 1987, the College was authorized to award master's degrees by the District of Columbia Education Licensure Commission. Strayer College received approval in the fall of 1981 from the State Council of Higher Education for the Commonwealth of Virginia to offer programs at campuses in Virginia. In that same year, Strayer University was granted accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. From 1981 through 2001, 16 campuses were opened throughout Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland. In 1996, Strayer College began to offer its first online courses. In 1998, Strayer College received approval to change its name from Strayer College to Strayer University. Since 1998, the University has expanded its physical campus offerings to include North Carolina and Tennessee in 2002, Pennsylvania and South Carolina in 2003, Georgia in 2004, and Florida and Delaware in 2005. • 1892: Began as Strayer Business College in Baltimore • 1969: Licensed to grant Bachelor of Science degree • 1981: Middle States Commission on Higher Education accredits Strayer College • 1987: Authorized to offer master's degrees • 1996: First online classes offered • 1998: University status approved • 2002: Strayer University opens campuses in North Carolina • 2003: Strayer University opens campuses in Pennsylvania and Tennessee • 2004: Strayer University opens campuses in South Carolina and Georgia • 2005: Strayer University opens campuses in Florida and Delaware DISCLOSURE STATEMENT He -C CL 'Cc E CL r= S > ra -g. 37 Aim2.

DISTRICT 6 — BEACH ■ Considerations: The parking area directly behind the existing Burger King building currently fronting on Laskin Road is zoned A-12 Apartment District. Since this parking lot serves a commercial use but is located in an Apartment zoning district, the parking lot, as well as the drive aisle that connects it to Pinewood Road, is considered nonconforming. The applicant desires to bring the uses on the site into compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. Thus, the nonconforming parking lot and drive aisle must be rezoned to the same zoning district category as the portion of the site where the commercial use is located. In this case, that category is RT-3 Resort Tourist. The requested change of zoning of the parking area and drive aisle to RT-3 will eliminate the nonconforming issue. To ensure that this zoning change does not result in an increase in density beyond what is currently allowed, the applicant has proffered that if the portion of the site being rezoned to RT-3 is ever developed for residential use, the density at which it can develop will be limited to the density allowed by the current A-12 zoning, which would be 12 dwelling units per acre. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the request will eliminate a nonconforming use, Staff recommended approval, and there was no opposition. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 with 1 abstention to approve this request, as proffered.

Agenda Item 18 June 14, 2006 Public Hearing Staff Planner: Faith Christie REQUEST: Change of Zoning District Classification from A-12 Apartment District to Conditional RT-3 Resort Tourist District Pinewood i��lC�\Ill �. _ �� ><� �►�1 onditional Zoning Change from A-12 to RT-3 ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located 524 Laskin Road GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE: 24189210550000 6 - BEACH .387 acre (16,857.72 square feet) The applicant proposes to rezone the existing A-12 Apartment SUMMARY OF REQUEST District property to Conditional RT-3 Resort Tourist District. The request is due to a staff requirement so the applicant may subdivide the property. The site was developed in 1970 as a Carroll's Restaurant. At that time, the front of the site was zoned B-1 Retail Business district, and the rear of the site was zoned R-3 Multi -family district. The R-3 Multi -family district permitted off -site parking for another use subject to a conditional use permit and no fee charged for the parking. There is no evidence of a conditional use permit being granted. However, in the Public Works Engineering file for the site, there is a reference to the use permit requirement and that a use permit request was pending before the City Council. Subsequently the plans were approved. At some point, the drive aisle was extended to Pinewood Road. The parking area directly behind what is now a Burger King is located within the A-12 Apartment District, and is considered nonconforming, as it was allowed at the time of construction. The drive aisle to Pinewood Road however was not permitted. The use of residential or apartment zoned property to access commercial property is prohibited. Any changes to the site require compliance with all the development ordinances in effect at that time. Consequently, the submission of a subdivision plat requires the applicant to bring the site into compliance with the City Zoning Ordinance. The applicant desires to bring this site into compliance.

MEETING DATE: July 11, 2006 ■ Background: An Ordinance to amend Section 104 of the City Zoning Ordinance to include the imposition of civil penalties for violations pertaining to commercial vehicles and recreational equipment and to include the increase of the amount of civil penalties, and to repeal Section 217 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to civil penalties. ■ Considerations: Currently, only violations of the City's sign regulations are subject to a civil penalty. The amendments to Subsection (b) make violations of Section 203(d) (parking of certain commercial vehicles in residential areas) and Section 205 (parking of major recreational equipment in unauthorized areas) subject to the imposition of civil penalties. Such penalties are in lieu of criminal sanctions. The amendments to Subsection (b) also increase the maximum amount of a civil penalty from $100 to $200 for a first violation and from $250 to $500 for additional violations. Recent changes to the Virginia State Code allow these modifications to penalties to occur. The provisions in Subsections (c), (d) and (e) are taken from Section 217, and thus, that section is repealed. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the amendments will strengthen the ability of the City to impose penalties for violations of the activities noted above and there was no opposition to the amendments. Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this amendment.

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT Currently, only violations of the City's sign regulations are subject to a civil penalty. The amendments to Subsection (b) make violations of Section 203(d) (parking of certain commercial vehicles in residential areas) and Section 205 (parking of major recreational equipment in unauthorized areas) subject to the imposition of civil penalties. Such penalties are in lieu of criminal sanctions.

Recent changes to the Virginia State Code allow these modifications to penalties to occur. The provisions in Subsections (c), (d) and (e) are taken from Section 217, and thus, that section is repealed. RECOMMENDATION This proposed amendment to Section 104 and repeal of Section 217 are recommended for approval. The amendments to Section 104 and the repeal of Section 217 will strengthen the ability of the City to impose penalties for violations of the activities noted above, as the imposition of civil penalties is not as complex as attempting to obtain criminal sanctions for those activities. 1 AN ORDINANCE IMPOSING CIVIL PENALTIES FOR 2 VIOLATIONS PERTAINING TO PARKING OF COMERCIAL 3 VEHICLES AND MAJOR RECREATIONAL EQUIPMENT AND 4 INCREASING CIVIL PENALTIES FOR CERTAIN 5 VIOLATIONS OF THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE 6 7 Section Amended: City Zoning Ordinance §104 8 Section Repealed: City Zoning Ordinance §217 9 10 11 WHEREAS, the public necessity, convenience,- general welfare 12 and good -zoning practice so require; 13 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA 14 BEACH, VIRGINIA: 15 That Section 104 of the City Zoning Ordinance is hereby 16 amended and reordained, to read as follows: 17 ARTICLE 1.

In any trial for 57 a violation, it shall be the burden of the zoning administrator or 58 his or her designee to show the liability of the violator by a 59 preponderance of the evidence. An admission of liability or finding 60 of liability shall not be a criminal conviction for any purpose. 61 (d) Each day during which the violation is found to have 62 existed.shall constitute a separate offense However, specified 63 violations arising from the same operative set of facts shall not 64 be charged more frequently than once in any ten-day period, and a 65 series of specified violations arising from the same operative set 66 of facts shall not result in civil penalties which exceed a total 67 of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). 68 (e) This section shall not apply to (i) activities related to 69 land development; (ii) violations of sections 215 and 216 of this 70 ordinance; (iii) violations relating to the posting of signs on 71 public property or public rights -of -way; or (iv) violations 72 resulting in injury to any person or persons 73 COMMENT 74 Currently, only violations of the City's sign regulations are subject to a civil penalty. The 75 amendments to Subsection (b) make violations of Section 203(d) (parking of certain commercial vehicles 76 in residential areas) and Section 205 (parking of major recreational equipment in unauthorized areas) 77 subject to the imposition of civil penalties. Such penalties are in lieu of criminal sanctions. The 78 amendments to Subsection (b) also increase the maximum amount of a civil penalty from $100 to $200 79 for a first violation and from $250 to $500 for additional violations. 80 81 The provisions in Subsections (c), (d) and (e) are taken from Section 217, which is repealed. 82 3 83 . . . 84 ARTICLE 2.

An Ordinance to amend Section 104 of the City Zoning Code to impose civil penalties for violations pertaining to commercial vehicles and recreational equipment. Welcome Ms. Lasley. Karen Lasley: Thank you. A civil penalty is a tool that we use in zoning enforcement. It is similar to writing a ticket for a speeding violation. Currently the zoning ordinance only lets us issue civil penalties for sign violations. It is not a tool that we use a lot. It is a difficult tool to use. We only use it as a last resort for violators where we can't get voluntary compliance. For example, last year, I think we issued about 16 civil penalties for sign violations. It is not used a lot. But this amendment expands our authority so that we can issue civil penalties for commercial vehicle violations. That's parking a large commercial truck in a residential neighborhood and recreational vehicle violations. That would be boats and RV's that are parked where they are not supposed to be in residential areas. The City asked for the authority to expand our use of civil penalties, and the state legislature agreed. That state law becomes effective July 1, 2006. This amendment allows us to use that new state code regulation. The amendment also increases the amount of the civil penalty. Right now, for a first violation, the maximum that can be charged is a $100.00. This amendment increases that to $200.00. It also increases the amount for subsequent violations from $250.00 to $500.00. Again, it would be used sparingly. We would do an education piece. The last time we did a mail out on where you are allowed to park recreational vehicles was five years ago. So if this gets approved, I'd like to do another education piece. We mailed out notices in water bills. We can put it in the city page. So, we'll strive to educate. We have a notice that we issue people first, a written notice that explains where RV's can be parked. So this would be a good tool for us to have that we would use as a last resort to try to get compliance. Any questions? Janice Anderson: Thank you Ms. Lasley. Karen Lasley: Thank you.

MEETING DATE: July 11, 2006 ■ Background: Ordinance to Amend and Reordain Section 1809 of the City Zoning Ordinance (Appendix A) by allowing certain uses as Principal Uses in Accident Potential Zone 1 where allowed as Conditional Uses in the 1-2 Industrial District. ■ Considerations: The amendments to this section designate the conditional uses that may be allowed as principal (by -right) uses in the portions of the 1-2 Industrial District within Accident Potential Zone 1 if they meet the criteria set forth in Section 1810. Section 1810 prescribes the development standards, such as enhanced landscaping, building design and materials. The amendment parallels the recent amendments to the City Zoning Ordinance providing similar incentives for conditional uses in the B-2, 0-2, and 1-1 District. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the amendment extends the APZ-1 Incentive Program to the 1-2 Industrial District and there was no opposition to the proposal. Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to approve this amendment. ■ Attachments: Staff Review Ordinance Planning Commission Minutes Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT The amendments to this section designate the uses that are allowed as principal (by -right) uses in the portions of the 1-2 Industrial District within Accident Potential Zone 1 if they meet the criteria set forth in Section 1810. Section 1810 prescribes the development standards, such as enhanced landscaping, building design and materials that must be adhered to in order for a use to be allowed without a conditional use permit. All of the uses listed in the amendments to this section are allowed as conditional uses in the underlying 1-2 Industrial District. RECOMMENDATION This proposed amendment is recommended for approval. The amendment parallels the recent amendments to the City Zoning Ordinance providing similar incentives for conditional uses in the 6-2, 0-2, and 1-1 District. When those amendments were proposed, the 1-2 District was inadvertently left out. 1 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND REORDAIN SECTION 2 1809 OF THE CITY ZONING 'ORDINANCE (APPENDIX 3 A) BY ALLOWING CERTAIN USES AS PRINCIPAL 4 USES IN ACCIDENT POTENTIAL ZONE 1 WHERE 5 ALLOWED AS CONDITIONAL USES IN THE I-2 6 INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT 7 8 Sections Amended: City Zoning Ordinance 9 Section 1809 10 11 WHEREAS, the public necessity, convenience, general welfare 12 and good zoning practice so require; 13 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE 14 CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 15 That Section 1809 of the City Zoning Ordinance is hereby 16 amended and reordained to read as follows: 17 Sec. 1809.

This is an Ordinance to Amend and Reordain Section 1809 of the City Zoning Ordinance, and it has an inclusion of what are the principal uses in the Accident Potential Zone 1, and if we could have Bill Macali. Bill Macali: Mr. Chairman and members of the Commission, on March 20, 2006, the City Council passed a number of ordinances, which were comprised of the portion of the City's response to the BRAC Commission decision. One of those ordinances was an ordinance under a certain usage located in the APZ-1, which ordinarily would require Conditional Use Permits, it could be developed without the need to get a Conditional Use Permit, if the use met certain design and related criteria. The zoning districts to which that ordinance applied included the B-2, 0-2 and 0-1. We did not by inadvertence include the I-2 Industrial District. There is a small bit of property in the APZ-1 that is zoned I-2. We simply would like to add the I-2 to those zoning categories so the persons in the I-2 could take advantage of the same incentives that other folks can in the other zoning districts. Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Macali. Is there any opposition to this application? Mr. Chairman, I have a motion for approval of consent agenda item #9. Barry Knight: Thank you.
