CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM:
An Ordinance to Amend City Code S 21-230 Pertaining to Traffic Calming
Via Maximum Speed Limits in Certain Residential Districts; Penalty
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2006
. Background: On February 13, 2001, City Council adopted an ordinance to
deter speeding on certain residential streets identified and qualified in accordance with
a three-phase Traffic Calming Program. The ordinance authorizes courts to impose a
$200 fine for speeding on a traffic-calming designated street.
. Considerations: The Traffic Calming Program is designed as follows: Phase I is
aimed at awareness and education, and generally takes place during discussions
between Traffic Engineering and a neighborhood representative. In this phase, the
neighborhood chooses the streets they want evaluated for inclusion in the program.
Phase II includes speeding studies of the designated streets. If, on a street with a
posted speed limit of 25 mph, the studies show that either 85% of drivers drive at a
speed of at least 33 mph or that the average speed of all drivers is at least 29 mph, then
the Police Department will conduct a series of selective enforcement patrols on the
designated streets, followed by follow-up traffic studies at the end of each enforcement
cycle. If the speeds persist or increase, the streets will be eligible to enter Phase III of
the program once at least 75% of the neighbors sign a petition requesting the
implementation of Phase III. Phase III is the submission of an ordinance to include the
designated street among those subject to the fine of $200.
The street added by this amendment-Oxford Drive in King's Grant--has qualified for
inclusion in the Program. A petition requesting implementation of Phase III on Oxford
Drive and signed by at least 75% of the residents has been submitted to Public Works.
. Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal
Council agenda process.
. Recommendations: Adopt Ordinance.
. Attachments: Ordinance and Map.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA
And
GARRISON COMMANDER, FORT STORY, VIRIGINA
Refs:(A) Army Regulation 525-13, Anti-terrorism; Security of
Personnel. Information, and Critical Resources.
(B) Army Regulation 190-58 Personnel Security.
(C) Department of Defense Directive 2000.12 DaD
Combating Terrorism Program.
(D) FM 3-19.11, Special Reaction Teams (SRT).
(E) Army Regulation 190-40, Special Incident Report.
1. PURPOSE: This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is
negotiated by and between the Fort Story Garrison Commander
(hereafter referred to as "the Army") and the City of Virginia
Beach, VA. (hereafter referred to as "Va. Beach"). The purpose of
this MOU is to establish a mutual understanding regarding the
responsibilities, procedures, and conditions for utilization of
Special Weapons and Tactics/Crisis Negotiations (S W A T /CN) from
the above agencies/organizations in the intervention into a non-
terrorist hostage/barricade situations taking place on Fort Story,
Army Base, located within the City of Va. Beach. This document is
not intended as a replacement or to contradict existing
Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) or other regulations or
laws, but rather to supplement the agreements already established in
accordance with existing guidelines.
2. MISSION: In the event of a terrorist and non-terrorist event,
hostage/barricade situation, high risk warrants, and drug raids that
occurs at Fort Story under jurisdiction of the Provost Marshal
Office, and the cognizant Regional Public Safety Program Manager
determines it is necessary for the use of a special weapons or
tactical unit to resolve the situation, Va. Beach Police Department
will be contacted for assistance. The Va. Beach Police Department
will provide, if available, a SW A T/CN Team to respond to the scene
upon notification of a non-terrorist hostase/barricade, high risk
warrant, and/or drug raid.
3. PROCEDURES:
A. Response: Once notified, the Va. Beach Police
Department will depart for the crisis site, if available. Once
the team arrives, the team leader will report to the Army On-
Scene-Commander (OSC) for information and to provide
advice as required. The Va. Beach CN Team will be in charge
of negotiations. The Army will provide such plan, maps, etc.
that is required by the team. In keeping with preferred
practices, whoever has established a good rapport with the
hostage takers will continue unless circumstances determine
otherwise.
B. Command/Control: Once it is determined that Va. Beach
SW A T/CN assets are to be used operational control of the
situation will be turned over to the Va. Beach On-scene
Commander. Overall operations control will stay with the
SW A T/CN Team Commander. Up until the time of assault,
there will be continued discussions between Army and local
law enforcement officials to try and find a peaceful solution to
the situation. Once committed, the Va. Beach SW A T/CN will
operate according to their established procedures until the
situation is resolved.
C. Assault: Any assault upon Fort Story Army Base will be
conducted only after approval from the Army OSC or Provost
Marshal Office and only after all other avenues of neutralizing
or diffusing the crisis have been exhausted. Any decision to
make an entry will be discussed with the SW A T/CN
Commander, senior CID agent on scene, Army OSC and
Provost Marshal Office before permission is granted. The
only exception to receiving prior command approval would be
exigent circumstances at the crisis site, which would endanger
the lives of the hostages and/or SWAT personnel within the
area. In this case, the decision to effect and emergency
assault will be made by the on-scene Va. Beach SW A T/CN
Commander.
D. Explosives: Use of any explosive devises for breaching of
doors, windows, walls, etc. will be conducted by the Virginia
Beach Police Department's Bomb Squad, CN Team, and on-
scene SWAT Commander.
E. Termination of Mission: The VBPD Incident
Commander may terminate support of the mission at any time
at his/her discretion. However, this decision will be discussed
with the OSC, Army CID, and Fort Eustis Provost Marshal
Office before support is terminated.
F: Post Incident Teams: Post incident crime scene teams
will consist of Army CID, Va. Beach Police Department
Personnel, and any other unit deemed necessary by the OSC.
Army CID will coordinate any substantive criminal
investigative matters.
4. RELEASE OF LIABILITY: Neither the Provost Marshal
Office, nor the United States Army shall be liable for any personal
injury, property damage, or death caused solely by any negligent
actions or inaction by the Va. Beach SW A T/CN personnel. Neither
the City of Virginia Beach or the Virginia Beach Police Department
shall be liable for any personal injury, property damage, or death
caused solely by any negligent action or inaction by the Provost
Marshal Office or the United States Army. The City of Virginia
Beach and its police officers and agents shall be entitled to
immunity granted by Code of Virginia S 15.2-1728.
5. COST INCURRED: Any expense incurred by the City of
Virginia Beach will be handled in accordance with references (A)
through (E).
6. EFFECTIVE DATE: This agreement shall be effective upon
signature of all parties involved.
7. MODIFICATION AND REVIEW: No changes shall be made
to this memorandum without mutual review and consent of all
parties. This agreement shall be reviewed annually or as
determined by the affected parties.
8. TERMINATION: This memorandum may be terminated by

and management of the Stumpy Lake Golf Course through a long-term land lease
agreement, and negotiations are currently being conducted with Stumpy Lake Golf
Course, Inc. Should the negotiations fail or not be completed prior to September 30,
2006, this extension of the lease would enable the Council sufficient time to authorize
the execution of a new lease or consider alternative action for the renovation and
management of the golf course.
. Public Information: During the community input process conducted prior to the
development of the Stumpy Lake Natural Area Master Land Use & Management Plan,
the community expressed the desire for the Stumpy Lake Golf Course to continue in its
present use and operation.
. Alternatives: (1) Proceed with approval of the proposed Second Amendment.
(2) Request the lessee to abandon the property within ninety days. Current lease
expires at the end of September 2006.
. Recommendations: Authorize the City Manager to sign the Second
Amendment to extend the lease until December 31, 2007, with all remaining provisions
of the lease, as previously amended, remaining in effect.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Approve and Adopt the Southside Hampton Roads Hazard
Mitigation Plan
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2006
. Background: Virginia Beach was awarded $130,000 in federal and state grant
funds to sponsor the development of a regional hazard mitigation plan including the
cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk, Isle of Wight County, and the towns of
Smithfield and Windsor (the City of Chesapeake had previously developed its own
hazard mitigation plan). The ultimate goal of the plan is to minimize or eliminate the
long-term risk to human life and property from natural hazards by identifying and
implementing cost-effective mitigation actions. The plan outlines specific actions for
participating jurisdictions to undertake in reducing the impact of natural hazards.
Hazards may include, but are not limited to, natural events such as hurricanes,
nor' easters, flooding, ice storms, and tornadoes. While a single regional mitigation plan
is being developed, each jurisdiction has created its own separate "mitigation action
plan."
The regional mitigation plan will meet all applicable Federal regulations per the Disaster
Mitigation Act of 2000 and local planning requirements established by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as well as local planning requirements for
hazard mitigation required by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. A
FEMA-approved mitigation plan is required for local communities to remain eligible for
future grant funds made available through FEMA's Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM)
program and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). Funds from these programs
may be used by local governments and non-profit organizations to implement mitigation
projects at the local community level.
The Southside Hampton Roads Hazard Mitigation Plan is designed to assist
communities in identifying ways to better protect citizens and property from the effects
of natural hazards. The development of the Plan has been mandated by FEMA. The
Plan assumes that hazard mitigation is best served by pre-disaster investments to
reduce the demand for post-disaster assistance by reducing the need for emergency
response, repair, recovery and reconstruction. The Plan has four goals consisting of:
(1) the development of plans and studies that will support the implementation of
techniques that will aid in the mitigation of natural hazards in the region; (2) conducting
public education, outreach and awareness programs to help local citizens better
understand hazard mitigation and ways to protect lives and property from the impact of
natural hazards; (3) promotion of cost beneficial structural projects across the region
that will be beneficial to reducing the impact of natural hazards when they occur; and (4)
implementing sound hazard mitigation policies into the framework of local government
Adoption of Souths ide Hampton Roads Hazard Mitigation Plan
Page 2 of 2
operations across the region. From these goals, each participating jurisdiction has
established specific mitigation actions written in the form of policies and projects
appropriate to their jurisdiction.
. Considerations: Public participation was a critical element of the hazard
mitigation planning process. The purpose of public participation was to solicit input,
participation and feedback from interested residents and business owners that can help
further identify existing hazards and potential hazard mitigation actions that can be
taken to reduce their impact. A Public Information Meeting was conducted on October
18, 2005 during the planning process to solicit input. The final draft plan was submitted
to the Virginia Department of Emergency Management in April 2006 for final approval.
Preliminary State approval was issued in May 2006, and the plan was forwarded to
FEMA for final approval. Following completion of the Final Draft Plan, an Information
Briefing was provided to City Council on August 8, 2006. A Public Hearing was also
held on the Final Draft Plan on August 22, 2006. No public input was received on the
Final Draft Plan.
In accordance with Federal planning requirements, the local governing bodies of each
participating jurisdiction is required to review and approve that portion of the overall plan
that affects them. Following the plan adoption process, the regional hazard mitigation
plan will be submitted for formal approval by FEMA and the Virginia Department of
Emergency Management.

City of Virginia Beach
Hazard Mitigation Plan - Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The following is an abstract of the Southside Hampton Roads Hazard Mitigation Plan. Its intent is to
provide a brief overview of the basic components of the plan, and to provide a list of Virginia Beach-
specific strategies to mitigate the defined hazards.
PURPOSE
This plan has been developed to satisfy the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) 2000, and
is a collective effort between Isle of Wight County, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Smithfield, Suffolk, Virginia
Beach and Windsor. Its purpose is to identify the region's risk of natural hazards (i.e. hurricanes, tornados,
lightning storms, etc.), highlight each jurisdiction's capabilities and vulnerabilities, and detail strategies to
remedy shortfalls and further prepare the community. This plan is also a requirement for future mitigation
funding eligibility. It is important to understand the spirit of the DMA 2000 is not to impose a federal
mandate on state and local governments. Instead, it is meant to encourage proactive steps toward
protecting communities - not only through post-disaster mitigation activities, but more importantly, through
pre-disaster mitigation planning in all areas of government.
Mitigation is just one phase of four under comprehensive emergency management. The other three include
Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. As stated in the EOP Basic Plan:
"Hazard mitigation includes the responsibility for developing specific measures
to reduce the effects of natural or man-made hazards. Also included is the
identification and mitigation measures for other hazards that may develop.
These measures include, but are not limited to, the development of zoning laws
and land use ordinances, building codes, regulations, and licensing for the
handling and storage of hazardous materials, and the inspection and enforcement
of such ordinances, codes, and regulations (p. 37).
Logic, and history, suggests more effort in the mitigation phase will result in a decreased need in the
Response and Recovery phases. In Layman's tenns, money put into mitigation projects can ultimately save
money in Response and Recovery efforts in the future. For example, the one-time cost of elevating a
structure in a flood zone will be less than the numerous losses and claims of repetitive damage through the
years.
Funding was provided by FEMA and VDEM through Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds.
SITUATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Situations
. The city is vulnerable to natural disasters that place the community at risk from various hazards
and consequences.
City of Virginia Beach
Hazard Mitigation Plan Abstract
July 18, 2006
. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 was intended to facilitate cooperation between state and local
authorities on risk reduction measures to expedite funding allocation.
. DMA 2000 compliance requires local communities to develop hazard mitigation plans to remain
eligible for pre-disaster and post-disaster funding through FEMA.
. Plan focuses on natural hazards only, such as floods, hurricanes and tornados, and not manmade
disasters such as technological accidents or acts of terrorism.
. While the plan takes a regional approach, it details information specific to each participating
jurisdiction.
Assumptions
. City is interested in a true assessment of the threats to the community, its capabilities, and also its
vulnerabilities as a base to establish effective mitigation strategies.
. Approved plan will be a comprehensive, useable document that will result in improved measures
toward the safety of community.
. City is interested in eligibility for future pre- and post-disaster mitigation funding.
GENERAL
In order to provide the most accurate information for the City of Virginia Beach, input was solicited from
the Quality Physical Environment (QPE). The plan was also distributed to all appropriate departments for
comment.
Externally, other stakeholders invited to participate included the American Red Cross, Peninsula Hazard
Mitigation Planning Committee, National Weather Service, Virginia Department of Emergency
Management, Navy Mid-Atlantic Command, USACE Norfolk Office, and most importantly, the citizens.
Following the guidelines set forth by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the committee fonnulated the
plan's capability assessment, risk assessment and mitigation strategies. Lastly, documentation was
perfonned detailing the steps intended to maintain the plan.
Capability Assessment
Examination of each participating jurisdiction's local capabilities (i.e. regulatory, administrative, technical
and fiscal) to implement mitigation activities. The assessment serves to highlight some of the positive
mitigation measures already in place as well as identify any existing gaps, conflicts or weaknesses that may
need to be addressed through future mitigation planning actions.
Risk Assessment
Includes a general hazard identification, analysis and vulnerability assessment for the natural hazards that
can affect the region in order to prioritize hazard risks and develop appropriate mitigation strategies.
Based on current and historical information, natural hazards that threaten the area were rated at a "High,"
"Medium" or "Low" consideration risk. The summary of the hazards threatening Virginia Beach are as
follows:

Landslides
Note: Some natural hazards overlap. For instance, the effects of a hurricane will include strong winds,
storm surge, and possibly tornadoes.
Part of the vulnerability assessment takes into account the asset inventory of the population. Flooding is
the most frequent and costly of all natural hazards in the United States, particularly Virginia Beach. As
such, the following statistics were compiled to better understand the potential economic impact on the
community. (Similar statistical information is detailed for each hazard in the plan).

Mitigation Strategy
General regional goals, as well as jurisdictionally-specific local mitigation actions (projects and policy
alternatives). Each proposed mitigation action is tied to assigned implementation mechanisms, such as the
department or person responsible for carrying the specific action out, a timeline for its completion and
potential funding sources, if applicable.
Regional Goals:
Goal #1 : Develop plans and studies that will support the implementation of techniques that will
aid in the mitigation of natural hazards in the region.
City of Virginia Beach
Hazard Mitigation Plan Abstract
July 18, 2006
Goal #2: Conduct public education, outreach and awareness programs to help citizens better
understand hazard mitigation and ways to protect lives and property from the impact of natural
hazards.
Goal #3: Undertake cost beneficial structural projects across the region that will be beneficial to
reducing the impact of natural hazards when they occur.
Goal #4: Implement sound hazard mitigation policies into the framework of local government
operations across the region.
Virginia Beach-Specific Action Strategies:
1. Comprehensive Planning process could be expanded to better integrate the existing
mitigation related programs, as well as the mitigation philosophy to include links to the
mitigation plan itself.
2. The Open Space Program could be reviewed in light of mitigation considerations and
rationalized as part of a mitigation plan.
3. The Stonnwater Management Program could be reviewed as part of the city's overall
Hazard Mitigation Plan. Projects and programs should be reviewed to identify possible
HMGP grant opportunities that might support stormwater management programs.
4. Relocation of the ComIT Data Center.
5. The city should review its Floodplain Management Program to ensure that stakeholders,
as well as program activities, are current and appropriate for the city.
6. The city should evaluate its Site Plan Review Process to consider the vulnerabilities of
natural, as well as man-made disasters. This analysis should be made part of the review
process and include mitigation and preparedness issues, where appropriate.
7. The city should consider the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code's current status
and detennine iflobbying might be appropriate to increase the code's strength.
8. Encourage critical businesses and service agencies to consider mitigation planning and
project development to include emergency quick connects and emergency generators.
9. The city should review its property maintenance and renovation programs to ensure
mitigation programs and concepts are integrated into its operations. HMGP grants are
ways to improve property protection and maintenance, such as elevating structures.
10. The city wishes to continue its program of providing emergency power quick connect
capabilities to its sewer pump stations to support extended power outages.
11. The city might work with Dominion Virginia Power to explore strategies for putting
utilities underground to decrease their vulnerability.
12. The city should identify and consider a program to continue the hardening and retrofitting
of critical facilities.
13. Mitigation Capital Improvement Program: The city may consider, as part of the CIP
process, initiatives to identify funds for projects and to harden critical facilities, as well as
other mitigation projects under the HMGP program.
14. Subject to funding becoming available, the city will consider programming emergency
power quick connect projects for the city's critical facilities. These facilities consist of
critical city buildings, sewer and storm water pump stations where service disruption to
these facilities would be minimized to ensure better services and community protection.
15. The city should expand its public education programs and activities to ensure that disaster
preparedness information is made available to the public.
16. The city should continue with the CERT and Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Programs
for the integration into the overall emergency preparedness community.
17. The city might consider a flood insurance education program to ensure that the public is
aware of and receives information to make an informed decision about flood insurance.
18. The city might consider business education programs to encourage businesses to plan for
disasters and disaster recovery. Planning support for internal, as well as external
organizations should be considered.
City of Virginia Beach
Hazard Mitigation Plan Abstract
July 18, 2006
19. Purchase and install flashing beacon alert signs (14) to notify motorists when new or
updated emergency messages are available via the city's low power AM Radio system.
The city's VBAM 1680 was installed in the late summer of 2005 provides warnings and
notifications.
20. Continue to build upon the communications systems to advance interoperability within
the city and the region.
21. Public Information Operation Emergency Power: Install a generator for Building 22 to
power equipment for the 2417 non-emergency contact center.
22. The city should consider the identification of existing critical intersections for emergency
power and quick connect for wiring 80 intersections out of 220.
23. Upgrade backup power plant for the Municipal Center PBX phone switching station to
avoid loss of telephone service when commercial power fails. This switching station
provides telephone service to the Municipal Center Campus including multiple remote
sites, as well as the future E911 phone service.
24. The city will work with the COE and federal government to ensure the maintenance of
the Hurricane Protection Project and other maintained beaches within the city.
The Virginia Beach-specific mitigation strategies outlined in this plan are not concrete. This is a
living document subject to change. The intent is to keep mitigation at the forefront of future city
planning. Also, DMA 2000 does not require action within the prescribed time frame; goals are
contingent upon available funding.
Plan Adoption / Maintenance
To ensure the Plan remains a relevant local planning document that is implemented and routinely reviewed
and updated, as necessary. At a minimum, the plan must be evaluated, updated and resubmitted to the State
Hazard Mitigation Officer every five years.
Documentation
Thorough documentation on the planning process used to prepare the Plan is included, as required by the
State and FEMA. Plan implementation involves the completion of proposed mitigation actions, including
policies and projects.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $631,452 to the Clerk of the Circuit
Court's FY 2006-07 Technology Trust Fund
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2006
. Background: The Clerk of the Circuit Court receives funding for technology
based on fees charged. In the past, this funding was provided to the Clerk's Office
through their state budget, so the City was not responsible for appropriating this
funding. Last year, the State Compensation Board changed the way it distributes this
funding, and the City is now reimbursed by the State for purchases made for courtroom
technology purposes. The Clerk's Office has been approved for $631,452 in additional
revenue for FY 2006-07.
. Considerations: This appropriation will not require any additional money from
the City. The appropriation gives the Clerk's Office the ability to spend the funds on
courtroom technology with State revenue offsetting the appropriation.
. Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal
Council agenda process.
. Recommendations: Accept and appropriate $631,452 in state revenue to the
Clerk of the Circuit Court's Technology Trust Fund.
. Attachments: Ordinance and Compensation Board's Authorization of Funds

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $284,192 in Additional Community Development Block
Grant Program Income to the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation's
FY 2006-07 Operating Budget
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2006
. Background: Since 1986 the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
(DHNP) has provided $294,468 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to
Virginia Beach Community Development Corporation (VBCDC) to be utilized in a revolving fund
to provide affordable homeownership opportunities to low- and moderate-income households.
Positive benefits of this program include eliminating blighted vacant housing in low and
moderate-income neighborhood and contributing to the number of homeowners in
neighborhoods.
Factors beyond VBCDC's control are now making this program more difficult to successfully
operate. The escalation in real estate values coupled with the need for extensive costly
rehabilitation of older properties is causing sales prices to exceed what the intended clientele
can afford to purchase. With these market conditions and the federal restrictions on the
funding, VBCDC wishes to cease operating this program and is requesting that the funds be
redirected to the creation of affordable rental housing. The balance of the revolving funds
($284,192) will be returned to the City and will be considered CDBG program income. These
funds need to be appropriated before they can be reallocated to VBCDC.
DHNP would like to appropriate these funds back to VBCDC to be utilized for their successful
Acquisition and Rehabilitation of Rental Housing Program. DHNP currently provides funds to
VBCDC for this purpose. This additional CDBG funding, as well as leveraging funding through
VBCDC will enable the acquisition of twice as many properties for this program (a total of six
units). There is a well-documented need for affordable rental housing for low- and moderate-
income households, and this use is consistent with DHNP's Consolidated Strategy and Plan
(2005-2010).
. Considerations: VBCDC currently operates another homeownership program with
funding it received directly from HUD. That program will continue to be operated by VBCDC;
therefore, the benefits to the City of a homeownership program for low- to moderate- income
households still will be realized.
. Public Information: Public infonnation will be handled through the nonnal Council
agenda publication.
. Recommendations: Approval.

Justice Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant and Appropriate $28,000 of
Asset Forfeiture Funds for the Purpose of Supporting Public Safety and Criminal
Processing
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2006
. Background: The Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (Byrne JAG) is a grant from
the Department of Justice (DOJ) that is used to assist with law enforcement and criminal
processing programs. The Byrne JAG supports a broad range of activities to prevent and
control crime based on local needs and conditions. A few weeks ago the City Council accepted
and appropriated a Byrne JAG that the DOJ awarded the Commonwealth and the
Commonwealth then awarded to the City. A separate Byrne JAG has been directly awarded by
the DOJ to the City.
The Criminal Justice Board, which is comprised of City representatives from Police, Sheriff,
Courts, and Community Corrections, met to determine the best use of this grant funding. As a
requirement of the grant, the recommendation of the Criminal Justice Board was brought to the
City Council in February.
. Considerations: The total award for this grant is $102,106. The Virginia Beach
Criminal Justice Board recommends that the funds be used as follows:
$4,575 for an information kiosk display in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court
$33,000 to the Police Department for additional evidence storage and presentation
equipment
$3,241 to the Magistrate for a new laptop to assist with processing defendants
$13,290 for the Law Enforcement Training Academy for new presentation equipment
$20,000 for Contracted Manpower for administrative support in Community
Corrections
$28,000 to the Commonwealth's Attorney to partially fund a full-time position to work
on asset forfeiture cases. The remaining funds for this position will be provided by
increased revenue from asset forfeiture programs. This position will cease when
grant funding expires.
An additional FTE will be established in the Commonwealth's Attorney's FY 2006-07 Operating
Budget, and $28,000 of additional asset forfeiture funds will be appropriated to cover the
remainder of the costs associated with the new FTE.
. Public Information: Public Information will be handled through the normal agenda
process. A public hearing, which was required by the grant, was held at the City Council's
February 28th meeting.
. Recommendations: Staff recommends that the grant be accepted and appropriated for
the recommended use offunds as suggested by the Criminal Justice Board.

Dear Mr. Spore:
The Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) is pleased to announce an additional
allocation of the 2005 State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), CFDA # 97.067 from the United States
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Grants and Training. The 2005 Grant is designed to provide
equipment, training, planning, and exercises for first responders to develop better preparedness to prevent,
respond and recover from potential acts of terrorism.
DHS intends to guide state and local security and preparedness efforts toward a project-oriented process
to address common measurable objectives. VDEM strongly encourages each community to employ regional
approaches to planning and preparedness and to adopt regional response structures whenever appropriate to
meet the needs identified through the assessments and in the Commonwealth's Homeland Security Strategy.
Each of the seven regions in the Commonwealth has been allocated $402,762; which has been divided between
the jurisdictions within each region on a per capita basis.
Your community has been allocated a total of $101,067.00. This funding must be used according to the
requirements specified by DHS. A copy of the directions and guidance provided by the Department of Homeland
Security may be found in attachment one (1). You will notice that the Approved Equipment List is in combination
with other programs, the SHSP approved equipment is listed ONLY in the first (1~ column. Compliance with the
rules and conditions set forth by DHS is mandatory.
Under the preparedness enhancement portion of this 2005 grant award. subgrantees are allowed to
spend funds in four (4) areas of need in First Responder Preparedness. They are as follows:
1. Equipment Acquisition
2. Training
3. Planning
4. Exercise
"Working to Protect People, Property and Our Communities"
Mr. Spore
March 31, 2006
Page 2
Completion of the Bi-Annual Strategic Report (BSIR) report will also be required until the end of the grant
period. In addition to the BSIR, the regular grant application forms must be completed and returned to VDEM by
June 1, 2006. Funds will not be released until we have received forms from your locality.
With the 2005 Grant, the Commonwealth will only send grant funds to a sub-grantee a maximum of 120 days
prior to purchase of allowable expenditures. To accomplish this, VDEM will forward a "Request for Drawdown"
form once you have completed your application process. You may request all of your funds at one time, or
spread your request out over the grant period up to a maximum of 5 drawdowns. You must use this form for
each request and, as you will see, the form is designed to result in your new balance after each drawdown
request. You will need to attach a list of what you are planning to purchase to each request. Please note that
the form is to be signed each time and mailed to us. Paid invoices for drawdown amounts are due no later than
140 days from the drawdown request date.
As with other DHS grants, your locality is required to retain and submit to VDEM a copy of your paid
invoices to complete your grant file and be compliant with the grant rules and audit requirements. As soon as a
payment is made, please forward your paid invoice copies to VDEM. Taking action right away, we believe, will
help minimize confusing one grant for another. You have until Januarv 31. 2007, to obligate your funds under
the DHS 2005 State Homeland Security Program. The original paid invoices and receiving reports will reside
with your purchasing office with copies provided to VDEM. These reports should be held for at least three years
after the end of the grant period and are subject to audit by DHS and/or the Commonwealth of Virginia.
This award is subject to all administrative and financial requirements, including the timely submission of
all financial and programmatic reports, resolution of all interim audit findings. Should you not adhere to these
requirements, you will be in violation of the terms of this agreement and the award will be subject to termination
for cause or other administrative action as appropriate. Attached you will find the Special Conditions document.
Please initial the Special Condition paae and submit it with your arant application packaae.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. You are encouraged to contact Julian Gilman, Cheryl
Adkins, or Joann Maher at (804) 897-6500 for help with this grant or if you need any additional information.

MEETING DATE: September 12,2006
. Background: City Council has a tradition of presenting a Community Legislative
Agenda to the General Assembly each year. This Agenda provides the Virginia Beach
Delegation with concerns of the City Council on funding, legislation, public safety, and
other issues that may be brought before the General Assembly.
. Considerations: This Agenda was prepared based on input from
Council members, Department Directors, community leaders, and representatives from
various citizen groups.
. Public Information: Councilmembers Wilson and Villanueva, with help from
staff, held two informal public meetings in September 2006 with community leaders and
representatives of various citizen groups to obtain items for inclusion in the 2007
Community Legislative Agenda. A public hearing on the Agenda was held on Tuesday,
September 5, 2006 in Council chambers, during which several speakers spoke in
opposition to the inclusion of the bifurcated tax rate proposal (non-funding item #1). An
additional public hearing on the proposed charter amendments has been advertised and
will be held on September 12.
. Recommendations: It is recommended that City Council approve the attached
resolution that adopts the 2007 Community Legislative Agenda, including the three
proposed amendments to the City's Charter, and that requests the City's local
Delegation to the General Assembly to sponsor and/or support legislation that would
carry out the goals and objectives set forth therein.

2007 COMMUNITY LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
PREFACE
The 2007 General Assembly Session will be a very important Session for local
governments and the Commonwealth at large. Although the General Assembly was able,
after much consternation, to adopt a budget for the biennium, there still remains much to
be done on the budget and other issues during the 2007 Session. Recently, for instance,
localities were made aware of the miscalculation in the amount money that would be
available for school systems due to an error in accounting of sales tax revenue to local
governments and the Commonwealth. Although the General Assembly has pledged to
make localities "whole" for the first year of the biennium (including the $6 million loss
that would have accrued to the school system in Virginia Beach) they have not been as
forthcoming about making the school systems whole in the second year of the biennium
where the City estimates it would cost the City $8 million. This should be priority
number one for the Commonwealth when the 2007 Session begins.
Although the sky rocketing real estate assessments in the past several years have certainly
moderated, especially in Northern Virginia where according to newspaper accounts the
next increases will be less than 3%, there will still likely be pressure on the General
Assembly to limit local government taxation powers. The City of Virginia Beach, as well
as most local governments throughout Hampton Roads, remains ardently opposed to such
a limitation. The City reduced the real estate tax rate by $1.22 to $0.99 since 2005,
thereby reducing the yield of the real estate tax by $103 million. As was stated in the
2006 Community Legislative Agenda, "City Council does not need the assistance of the
General Assembly to set property tax rates, to allow homestead exemptions or to cap
assessment increases. City Council responds to its citizens and their concerns."
As has been stated in the Community Legislative Agenda many times, if the General
Assembly fully funded the true cost of state mandated government functions, such as
education, courts, corrections, mental health and social services, then local governments
could reduce the real estate burden markedly. For instance, in the City of Virginia Beach
we currently put over $161.4 million into education above and beyond what is required
by the Standards of Quality. This equals approximately $0.29 on our real estate tax rate.
Although the General Assembly calls this local aspirations, our citizens and the parents of
children in our school system demand a quality educational experience with high-
standardized test scores to meet the Standards of Learning (SOL).
If the General Assembly fully funded the true cost of education for instance, this would
allow the City the option to reduce the real estate tax rate by $0.29 in FY 2008. Another
example is that City Council is required to match the salaries of every deputy in the
Sheriffs department and pay the total salaries of 55 deputies. This is so that our Sheriff,
Page 3
9/5/2006
a state official, can successfully recruit and reclaim deputies who provide a much-needed
public safety service. Again as mentioned in last year's Community Legislative Agenda,
the State should fully fund State services before it considers limiting the localities ability
to provide the necessary funding to keep State services in satisfactory operation.
The General Assembly also failed during the 2006 Session to address the under funding
of the car tax relief program. When the car tax was capped during the 2004 General
Assembly session there was approximately $270 million of under funding in car tax
reimbursements to localities. This means that localities like Virginia Beach, who are so-
called "spring billers", are reimbursed from the following fiscal year, instead of the year
in which the year the car tax relief is provided. The General Assembly should fix this
budget inaccuracy immediately. Localities would not be allowed to pay for current fiscal
year liabilities with future fiscal years revenue.
Finally, the General Assembly has not addressed the transportation issue, although a
Special Session of the General Assembly may happen before the start of the 2007
Regular Session - it still remains highly likely that this action will leave transportation
woefully under funded. As the City has repeatedly expressed, a statewide transportation
revenue shortfall of close to $1 billion per year exists. Unless this is addressed soon the
City will see even more pronounced cutbacks in the amount of urban allocation funds
available to the City, for roads such as Nimmo Pkwy, Princess Anne Road, Witchduck
Road Interchange, Witchduck Road improvements, Lynnhaven Parkway improvements,
Shore Drive improvements, etc. Furthermore, the General Assembly will likely
inadequately address the needs identified by the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO).
There is still $275 million in long-term revenues needed in the region as well as the
ability to toll both new and existing parallel facilities. The General Assembly also needs
not to interpose its will in the Federal mandated MPO process. Prioritizing Route 460 for
instance, as a higher priority than 1-64 on the Southside, makes little sense. Allowing
travelers to utilize an improved Route 460 to then be stuck on four lanes of a very
congested highway along 1-64 in Chesapeake is counter intuitive and makes little sense.
This is also true if a new Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt was constructed and then
to be hamstrung by an unimproved 1-64 in Chesapeake.
Finally, transportation funding should not be done at the cost of funding other State
services. New revenues need to be found for transportation rather than stealing from
under funded services as mentioned above, such as, education, public health, corrections,
etc.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
2007 CHARTER CHANGES
1. SCREENING ABANDONED ESTABLISHMENTS - CHARTER CHANGE
Andy Friedman
Department Director
Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
Background Information:
There are numerous abandoned retail and commercial properties on main intersections in
Virginia Beach. These abandoned structures become blighted and require continuous
attention from Code Enforcement for Code violations. The utilization of "spot blight"
procedures against these properties is too limited, requiring acquisition as the final,
expensive and time consuming, option.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to amend the charter to authorize the City to require
the addition of landscape screening for retail and commercial properties that have been
abandoned for three (3) years or more in certain designated areas of the city.
2. CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS - CHARTER CHANGE
Les Lilley
City Attorney
City of Virginia Beach
Background Information:
On June 27, 2006, City Council adopted an ordinance that amended City Code S 2-15 to
provide that City Council and School Board elections shall take place during the general
election in November 2008 and during the November general election in even years
thereafter. This ordinance was adopted pursuant to Virginia Code S 24.2-222.1.
Pursuant to that section, Council Members whose term of office expires on June 30 shall
continue in office until their successors take office on January 1.
Request:
Although the City Code has been amended to provide for November elections, the City
Charter references May elections. The General Assembly should amend the City's
Charter as follows:
Page 5

Sec. 3.02:1. Election of Council Members.
There shall be a general eh~ction OR the first Tuesday in May in eyen
numbered years for the electioR of councilmembers to replace those v:hose

take place during the general election in November 2008, and during the
November general election in even years thereafter, for councilmembers
whose terms expire at the end of December of that year. Councilmembers,
including the mayor, whose terms expire as of June 30, 2008 or June 30,
2010 shall continue in office until their successors have been elected at the

seats. A candidate running for mayor shall not run for any other seat.
In the event any councilman, including the mayor, shall decide during his
term of office to be a candidate for mayor, he shall tender his resignation
as a councilman not less than ten days prior to the date for the filing of
petitions as required by general law. Such resignation shall be effective on
June 30 December 31, shall constitute the councilman's intention to run
for mayor, shall require no formal acceptance by the remaining
couRcilmen councilmembers and shall be final and irrevocable when

from the borough of his residence.
B. Each of the eleven elected board members shall be elected by the
voters of the city at large.
3. PHOTO RED LIGHT ENFORCEMENT - CHARTER CHANGE
Virginia Beach Police Department
Background Information:
Red light running, which is defined as the act of a motorist entering an intersection after
the traffic signal has turned red, caused almost 5,000 crashes in Virginia in 2003,
resulting in at least 18 deaths and more than 3,800 injuries. (VDOT, 2004)
Annually, the costs incurred by the City of Virginia Beach are over 2.5 million
dollars in societal damages.
Red light cameras can reduce crashes. Fairfax, VA had a 41 % reduction of red light
related violations and crashes after the first year of implementation (National
Cooperative Highway Research Program). The City of Virginia Beach's photo
enforcement program titled PHOTOSafe Virginia Beach showed similar results.
Over 80% of the City of Virginia Beach's residents indicated that they were in favor of
the Photo Red Light Enforcement Program as indicated in a statically valid poll.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to amend the charter of Virginia Beach to allow a
Photo Red Light Enforcement Program in the City. This program would include all the
safe guards built into the enabling legislation proposed in the 2006 Session.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
2007 NON-FuNDING ITEMS
1. BIFURCATED TAX RATE
Rosemary Wilson
City Council Member
City of Virginia Beach
Background Information:
Under current Virginia law, localities must tax business, commercial and residential
property under the same rate structure. Residential property if Virginia Beach carries a
disproportionate burden of the taxes paid; however, any relief on the tax burden given
through a rate reduction means the same rate reduction is given to business and
commercial property. In order to moderate tax assessments, the City Council desires to
have bifurcated rates for business/commercial and residential.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to adopt legislation allowing localities to have a
bifurcated rate, i.e. charge one rate for business/commercial and a separate rate for
residential properties. If a Constitutional Amendment is necessary to effectuate this
change, the General Assembly is requested to commence that process during this Session.
2. CONFIDENTIALITY OF JUVENILE JUSTICE RECORDS - GANG ACTIVITY
Police Department
Human Services Department
Background Information:
Virginia Code S 16.1-300.A.6 requires law enforcement officers, school officials, and
probation officers that have a legitimate interest in a juvenile case to obtain a court order
before being allowed access to the social, medical, psychiatric and psychological reports
and records of children who are or have been: before a court, under court supervision,
receiving services from a court service unit, or committed to the Department of Juvenile
Justice. A court order is not required for several other officials and agencies that have
legitimate interests in a juvenile case. Instead, the law provides strict parameters around
the circumstances under which such information may be released to those individuals.
Law enforcement officers, school officials, probation officers, and juvenile courts need to
be able to immediately share information during the investigation of criminal gang
Page 8
9/5/2006
activity. Obtaining court orders every time infonnation is needed is cumbersome and
time-consuming and could impair time-sensitive gang-related investigations.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to amend the State Code to allow law enforcement
officers, probation officers, and school officials' access to juvenile court records when
such officials are conducting an investigation into gang activity involving a specific
juvenile.
3. CIVIL PENALTIES FOR FIRE CODE VIOLA nONS
Chief Greg Cade
Fire Department
Background Information:
The Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code (SFPC) provides for the use of summonses
for fire code violations when the Fire Official is trained in accordance with the Code of
Virginia (S 27-34.2). Violations ofthe SFPC are Class I misdemeanors (s 27-100).
Many businesses that become repeat offenders of the Fire Code rotate managers or
responsible parties so that when a violation is caught the summons goes to a different
person each time. When a magistrate summons is issued to a legal officer of the business
the resulting defense is one of denial of responsibility because they were not on site.
Summonsing the manager or responsible person who is on site results in a defense that
they were acting as directed or that they had no knowledge of the occurrence of the
violation of the ability to control the violation. This results in the Fire Official having to
issue multiple summonses and or subpoenas to get all of the parties before the judge to
sort out responsibility. In many cases since the responsible party is not brought into court
they see this as a cost of doing business. This is a burden on the court system and on
municipal resources. These cases usually result in multiple continuances with
adjudication for a single offense sometimes exceeding eight to twelve months.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to provide for civil penalties within the Virginia
Statewide Fire Prevention Code (SFPC). The proposal would provide the option for
localities that enforce the SFPC to establish a civil penalty process and fee schedule if
they elect to use civil penalties. The maximum penalty per violation should be capped at
$2500, the maximum fine for a Class I misdemeanor.
Civil penalties that could be levied against the business would provide for a greater
incentive for the business to comply with the Fire Code. The defendant would be
provided due process using the appeals process provided within the Fire Code. The civil
penalty, when levied against a business, results in bringing the responsible party forward
Page 9
9/5/2006
to either defend the business or pay the penalty. The civil penalty unveils the true
responsible party.
SAMPLE CIVIL PENALTY SCHEDULE
1 st violation $500
2nd violation within 12 calendar months $1000
3rd violation within 12 calendar months $2000
4th and subsequent violations within 12 calendar months $2500
· A jurisdiction would be required to adopt a fee schedule using the ordinance
process
. All collections of fees would be within the existing framework of tax collection
within the jurisdiction
. No business or individual could be subjected to a civil penalty and a summons for
the same offense
. Fees collected would go to the local Fire Official to support enforcement activities
Civil penalties provides for an alternative method to address violations of the SFPC and
in many instances will eliminate salaried workers from being either charged with a
violation of the SFPC or being subpoenaed to court for being in the wrong place at the
wrong time. Civil penalties reduce the burden on an already overwhelmed judicial
system. A civil penalty would provide for a more timely resolve to violations making it
less attractive to violate the Code and then manipulate the system while continuing to do
business in the same unlawful manner. Civil penalties would, hopefully, result in a safer
Commonwealth for our citizens and visitors.
4. CHILD ENDANGERMENT FROM ILLEGAL FIREWORKS
Chief Greg Cade
Fire Department
Background Information:
Fireworks are strictly regulated in the Code of Virginia and the Virginia Statewide fire
Prevention Code. The City of Virginia Beach strengthens the Code, declaring all
fireworks illegal for use, sale or storage. Fireworks have become an increasing problem
in the city on major holidays, such as Memorial Day and Independence Day. The quantity
and quality of fireworks has continued to increase with professional quality fireworks
being made available to consumers through out-of-state purchases and over the Internet.
These fireworks pose a considerable hazard to both life and property. In many instances
adults and fall into the hands of children obtain these fireworks. The fireworks problem
out paces all enforcement efforts and the problem continues to increase every year. This
year there were a number of children treated in emergency facilities across the city as a
result of fireworks injuries.
Page 10
9/5/2006
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to enact mandatory reporting by all emergency
medical facilities and Emergency Medical Technicians for all juvenile fireworks injuries.
Reports should be filed with Child Protective Services (CPS) with the requirement that
CPS forward the information to the local Fire and Police Official for further
investigation. The investigation findings would be shared with CPS, and as a joint effort
between Law Enforcement, Fire and CPS, each incident would be addresses. The intent
of the investigation is to seek out parents who knowingly" allow a child to utilize
fireworks. The investigation would also help reveal where some of these more dangerous
fireworks are coming from with the hope that additional enforcement actions could limit
the influx of illegal fireworks into Virginia or may support increasing the penalty to a
felony for selling fireworks. The felony charge would allow offenders to be brought to
justice when out of state.
5. TRANSFER OF PROPERTY FOR LASKIN ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
James K. Spore
City Manager
City of Virginia Beach
Background Information:
In the course of designing the Laskin Road Improvement Project east of Birdneck Rd, the
City has identified several parcels of land that seem to be owned by the Commonwealth
of Virginia. Under existing State law, the State can transfer property through sale or
otherwise to localities without General Assembly (GA) approval. The exception to the
law is if the property is sub aqueous bottom (basically land below the high water mark)
specific legislation needs to be adopted by the GA. There is some doubt as to whether
the property needed for the Laskin Road project is indeed sub aqueous bottom.
Request:
This item is a placed holder for a request for the GA to authorize the sale of sub aqueous
bottom needed for the Laskin Road Improvement Project. Such legislation will only be
necessary if continued investigation, by both the Commonwealth and the City,
determines that the property in question is indeed sub aqueous bottom. Otherwise, the
State may transfer the property through sale or otherwise to the City without GA action.

9/5/2006
6. Loss OF MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY FOR TEENS IN FOSTER CARE WITH EARNED
INCOME
Terry Jenkins
Department Director
Human Services
Background information:
Under current Virginia law, the local Department of Social Services must discontinue
Medicaid to a foster care child between the ages of 19 and 21, if the foster child earns
more than $193.74 in gross income per month. These foster children need to have the
benefit of Medicaid to cover the cost of their medical expenses, and they also need to
have the opportunity to earn income beyond the current limitations. This law appears to
be in direct conflict with the independent living program for foster children. The
independent living program was designed to assist children in foster care aged 16-21 in
becoming self-sufficient. Achieving the goal of self-sufficiency must include the
opportunity for youth to earn income that will prepare them for survival in an
independent living situation.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to direct the Department of Medical Assistance
Services to adopt regulations amending title 32.1 of the Code of Virginia to allow foster
children between the ages of 19-21 to be exempt from the income limitation, thus
allowing them to remain eligible for Medicaid. This would give older foster children the
opportunity to earn the income necessary to achieve the goal of self-sufficiency.
7. MEDICAID COVERAGE FOR OUT OF STATE RESIDENTIAL PLACEMENTS
Terry Jenkins
Department Director
Human Services
Background Information:
Due to the severity of illness and level of need for many CSA youth needing out of home
placement, we are forced to seek residential treatment outside of the state of Virginia.
While these children have Medicaid coverage, it is quite difficult to access coverage for
these out of state services. Costs for out of state placement frequently exceed $130,000
per year. Medicaid policy states "If a child requires this level of service that is not
available in Virginia, an out of state provider may enroll for a specific child for the
duration of that admission." The time it takes to go through this child specific enrollment
process does not take into account the need for emergency placement, and can take
several weeks to authorize. If the locality, in the best interest of the child, proceeds with
Page 12
9/5/2006
the placement without preauthorization, they run the risk of having to cover the cost of
this stay, despite the fact that the child has Medicaid since there is no guarantee that
Medicaid will authorize temporary provider status. This past fiscal year, Medicaid had a
freeze on approving out of state providers which further complicated placement issues.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to direct the Department of Medical Assistance
Services to utilize the same authorization process as is currently used for in -state
residential placements for out- of- state placements, provided the locality can assure that
there are no willing in-state providers for needed services.
8. REVIEW OF APPLICA nONS FOR STATE OR FEDERAL FUNDS OR SERVICES USED
IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAMS
Terry Jenkins
Department Director
Human Services
and Community Groups
Background Information:
In 37.2-311 of the Code of Virginia, states that no state agency that is authorized to issue
final approval or disapproval of, or to make a final review and comment on any
application for state or federal funds that are to be used in a substance abuse program
shall take final action on an application until it is reviewed and commended on by the
Department of Mental Health Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services
(DMHMRSAS). It further states that every applicant for any federal or state funds to be
used in connection with any substance abuse program shall submit a copy of the
application for review and comment.
Req uest:
The General Assembly is requested to amend 37.2-311 of the Code of Virginia to
indicate that this provision does not apply to federal government applications made by
local governments.

9. WORKFORCE HOUSING - AMENDMENT TO VIRGINIA CODE SECTION 15.2-2304
Andy Friedman
Department Director
Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
and Community Groups
Background Infornwtion:
The Virginia Code currently contains two enabling statutes regarding workforce housing.
One statute, Va. Code SI5.2-2304, confers upon the localities to which it applies (those
with the urban county executive form of government, Albemarle and Loudon Counties
and the City of Alexandria), very general authority to adopt zoning ordinances that
provide for an affordable dwelling unit (i.e., workforce housing) program. The other
statute, Va. Code SI5.2-2305, applies to all other localities including Virginia Beach. It
contains numerous limitations upon local workforce housing programs, thereby limiting
the City's flexibility in designing and implementing such a program in Virginia beach.
Based on work currently underway by the Workforce Housing Subcommittee of the
Planning Commission, the ideas being discussed would not be feasible under S15.2-2305.
Although there is no guarantee that these ideas will be adopted by City Council, it is
important to have the option available if Council wishes to adopt them.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to Amend Virginia Code S15.2-2304 to add Virginia
Beach to the localities that are included within the statute. In addressing the City's
workforce housing concerns, the City would greatly benefit from having broader latitude
in adopting a workforce-housing program than is allowed under existing law.
10. RECOMMENDATION FOR JLARC To Do A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF VRS
BENEFITS
Patti Phillips
Department Director
Finance
Background Information:
The Virginia Retirement System has been in place since the 1950s and may not fit the
needs of today's workforce. Therefore, we recommend that a thorough examination of
retirement benefits be conducted.
Page 14
9/5/2006
Request:
JLARC is directed to conduct a comprehensive study ofVRS benefits to include a review
of law enforcement benefits, disability provisions, return-to-work, and defined
contribution retirement plans, especially as they relate to attracting and retaining a quality
workforce.
11. BETTER REpORTING OF VRS ACTUARIAL DATA TO LOCALITIES
Patti Phil/ips
Department Director
Finance
Background Information:
Each locality in VRS receives an annual actuarial evaluation in a standard format. The
actuarial evaluation is based on locality specific data, but much of it is not included in the
report. This makes it very difficult for a locality to understand the retirement cost of the
different classes of covered employees (such as general employees and public safety
employees) and the specific assumptions for a locality that are driving its costs (such as
job-related disability retirements). A recent study by JLARC concluded that is essential
that VRS provide more information to localities and the City of Chesapeake is expressing
the same concern.
Request:
The City of Virginia Beach supports a legislative directive to the Virginia Retirement
System to provide local governments with expanded information on VRS costs.
12. UNCLAIMED PROPERTY PROGRAM
Patti Phillips
Department Director
Finance
Background Information:
Currently all property presumed abandoned must be reported and remitted to the State
Treasurer. This includes all outstanding checks and refunds. The City desires to
establish a minimum threshold for reporting escheat and for remitting escheat funds to
the State. We are proposing that accounts equal to or less than $15 would not be reported
or remitted to the State. This change would save Virginia Beach from reporting over
70% of our escheat accounts, yet only represents about 13% or $8500 of the total dollars
remitted.
Page 15
9/5/2006
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to amend the Code of Virginia to exempt from the
requirement to report and remit to the State Treasurer escheat funds of $15 or less.
13. PATROL AND ENFORCEMENT OF FEDERAL SAFETY AND RESTRICTED ZONES
Police Department
Background Information:
The U.S. Coast Guard, under the authority granted in 46 U.S.c. ~70119, has expressed a
desire for the Virginia Beach Police Department Marine Patrol to have the ability to
enforce safety and restricted security zones. However, state law grants that authority
only to the Virginia Marine Police. The Virginia Beach Police Department has a full-
time Marine Patrol. In order to better assist the U.S. Coast Guard as vessels pass through
the local jurisdiction, the authority to enforce maritime laws and regulations should be
extended to the Virginia Beach Police Department Marine Patrol
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to extend enforcement powers to members of local
marine patrol units within their jurisdictional boundaries.
14. CARRYING A CONCEALED WEAPON
Police Department
Background Information:
There is no law prohibiting a person from carrying an otherwise legal concealed weapon
when that person is in the possession of an illegal drug. In the interest of public safety
and that of law enforcement, a law should be enacted that would prohibit such
posseSSIOn.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to prohibit the possession of a concealed weapon
while in the possession of an illegal drug.
Page 16
9/5/2006
15. BACKGROUND INvESTIGATIONS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT APPLJCANTS
Police Department
Background Information:
Applicants for law enforcement positions are subject to stringent background
investigations prior to employment. Due to the nature of law enforcement and the
responsibilities that are associated with it, the public must know that law enforcement
administrators have done everything possible to screen potential employees.
Unfortunately, current state law prevents the examination of criminal records that were
adjudicated when the applicant was a minor.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to authorize access of juvenile criminal records to
law enforcement officers conducting background checks on law enforcement officer
candidates.
16. REQUIRED CRASH REpORTS
Police Department
Background Informailon:
State law requires that an accident report be filed if the total damage to all involved
vehicles exceeds $1000. That trigger amount was set approximately 10 years ago and is
much too low based on current cost to repair vehicles. Raising the amount to $2500
would greatly reduce the amount of paperwork necessary at minor accident scenes,
reduce the burden on the courts in their attempt to determine fault, and reduce the time
officers spend investigating minor accidents.
Req uest:
The General Assembly is requested to amend Virginia Code S 46.2-373 by increasing the
dollar amount that triggers the filing of a mandatory accident report from $1000 to
$2500.
17. PAWN SHOP, RECORDS AND PROPERTY
Police Department
Background Informailon:
All pawnbrokers are required to keep records of each loan or transaction made in the
course of business. Although state law requires that specific types of information be
Page 17
9/5/2006
collected, it does not currently require the seller to provide a thumbprint. Additionally,
the code does not currently authorize the law enforcement agency that provides oversight
of the pawn establishment to mandate the format of such reports.
A law requiring a person pawning an item to a pawnshop to provide a legible right thumb
print at the time of the transaction will enable law enforcement officers to better identifY
persons selling or trading stolen merchandise. Additionally, authorizing a local law
enforcement agency charged with oversight of pawn shops to designate the format of the
required reports will reduce the time and effort expended updating this information in the
agency's computer system.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to amend Virginia Code S 54.1-4009 to authorize
local law enforcement agencies to mandate the format of the required reports and to
require persons pawning items to provide a legible right thumbprint.
18. DEFINITIONS OF "CRIMINAL STREET GANG" AND "PREDICATE CRIMINAL ACT"
Police Department
Background Information:
A. The current state law definition of "criminal street gang" requires the identification of
at least one act of felony violence be attributed to the group. Once a group can be
classified as a "criminal street gang," law enforcement can gain access to otherwise
confidential information on the gang's members.
Gang members are younger and younger. While many informally organized groups of
young people have not yet committed a felony act of violence, their destructive and
unlawful conduct warrants the on-going attention of law enforcement. Amending the
definition of "criminal street gang" by removing the act of felony violence requirement
will allow law enforcement access to otherwise confidential juvenile records that will
enhance their efforts to thwart the escalating gang activities of these younger groups.
B. State law provides that a member of a gang who commits a "predicate criminal act" is
guilty of a felony separate and in addition to the underlying predicate act. The current
definition of "predicate criminal act" lists the limited offenses that constitute such an act.
The definition of "predicate criminal act" needs to include any and all felony offenses
involving a firearm or other weapon.
Page 18
9/5/2006
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to:
. Amend the definition of "criminal street gang" found at Virginia Code S 18.2-
46.1 to remove the requirement that the group's members must have committed a
felony act of violence in order for the group to be classified as a "criminal street
gang."
. Amend the definition of "predicate criminal act" found at Virginia Code 9 18.2-
46.2 to include all felony acts involving the use of a firearm or weapon.
19. ENDORSEMENT OF GOVERNOR KAINE'S ENHANCING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
SMALL, WOMEN AND MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES
Council Member Villanueva
Virginia Beach City Council
Background Information:
Govemor Kaine has stated that it is "imperative that the Commonwealth of Virginia
maximize the participation of its citizens in the vast array of commercial opportunities in
state government. The Commonwealth historical record in buying goods and services
from small, women and minority owned businesses must be improved." City Council is
fully in support of this initiative.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to support Governor Kaine's effort to increase the
participation of small, women and minority owned businesses in the State's contracting
and purchasing processes. The goal is that 40% of the purchase be made from small
20. DOWNSIZING OF STATE FACILITIES FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND MENTAL
RETARDATION
Terry Jenkins
Director of Human Services
Background Information:
Two facilities in HPR V are slated to be replaced with smaller facilities over the next two
biennia. Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg will be replaced with a 150 bed Adult
Facility (a loss of approximately 110 beds), and Southeastern Virginia Training Center in
Chesapeake will be replaced with a lOa-bed facility (a loss of 100 beds). While there are
plans to provide funds to localities to develop additional services to serve individuals
Page 19
9/5/2006
who will be coming out of these facilities, it is not clear whether the funds will be
sufficient to develop the level of services needed to meet their needs. Addressing existing
community waiting lists must also be a priority in the expansion of community services.
Senator Stolle and his staff convened a meeting in Virginia Beach on August 14, 2006 to
address several concerns about the downsizing of these facilities and the impact this may
have on other systems such as public safety and local and regional jails. It was
determined, in part as a result of this meeting that a number of issues must be considered
in determining the correct number of state psychiatric and state training center beds
needed for the region.
Request:
The Virginia Beach City Council is requested to propose that a study resolution be
completed General Assembly to determine the appropriate number of state psychiatric
and state training center beds needed before state facilities are rebuilt at a smaller
capacity .
21. TAX RELIEF FOR SENIOR CITIZENS - CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Council Member Ron Villanueva
City of Virginia Beach
Background Information:
The Virginia Beach City Council established a task force to examine the
possibility of providing additional tax relief to elderly Virginia Beach residents. The task
force published a report, in late 2003. The task force made three recommendations to
change the existing state code as well as an amendment to the Virginia Constitution.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to amend the state constitution to allow for a local
option non-means tested tax freeze for all senior citizens. The General Assembly would
need to enact legislation during the 2007 Session. There would be an intervening
election in 2007 and the same legislation would need to be passed in 2008. The voters
would then vote on the referendum for the constitutional amendment in the November
2008 election. The constitution would then be amended effective January 1,2009.

22. CREATION OF STATE INSURANCE "WIND POOL"
Council Member John Uhrin
City of Virginia Beach
Background:
Property owners in Virginia Beach, particularly at the oceanfront, are able to purchase
insurance for wind damage from the secondary insurance market at high rates and high
deductibles. Many other coastal states have established a "wind pool" insurance program
that is available in specific geographic areas. Policies have been provided at more
reasonable rates and deductibles. Wind has become, to most insurance carriers, the
biggest risk in the Virginia Beach area. A $25 million piece of property could have a two
percent wind deductible making the deductible payment $500,000. This is in great
contrast to the more reasonable $5,000 deductible that was available just a few years ago.
The wind insurance premium increases must also be considered as many Virginia Beach
businesses are being forced to pay 300 percent increases.
Req uest:
The General Assembly is requested to pass enabling legislation required for the creation
of a state insurance "wind pool" so that wind damage insurance can be provided at a
more reasonable cost with lower deductibles.

2007 FUNDING ITEMS
1. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL GRoup-HoME BEDS IN THE LOCALITY FOR YOUTH
NEEDING OUT OF HOME PLACEMENT
Terry Jenkins
Department Director
Human Services
Background Information:
Efforts have been underway for the last several years to develop a 12-bed Group Home
adjacent to the Juvenile Detention Center for teens needing out of home placement. This
site has been approved previously and a conditional use permit was issued, however,
funding for construction remains a need. The proposed facility would become a city-
owned building, for the Tidewater Regional Group Home Commission to operate, setting
up a fee structure with the Comprehensive Services Act to cover the operational costs
using child specific billing for services. The adolescents served would be CSA-mandated
older adolescents in foster care with some capacity to accept court-involved youth
utilizing Juvenile Court Services and other funding sources for non-mandated youth. HB
577 now requires CSA to justify out of jurisdiction placements. In FY 2005, Virginia
Beach youth were served in thirteen (13) Group Homes outside the city limits at a cost of
$1,036,542. Development of this site would better enable us to serve youth within the
city limits. We would also build in mental health services provided by Human Services
as needed. Funding was requested in the amount of$I,OOO,OOO several years ago for this
project. Due to rising construction costs, this estimate has nearly doubled.
Req uest:
The General Assembly is requested to approve an appropriation of $1.9 million dollars
for the construction of a 12-bed facility to be used as a group home for CSA-mandated
and non-mandated youth needing out of home placement. Operational costs would be
paid with CSA funds and Juvenile Court Services funds, and other fee revenue.
Page 22
9/5/2006
2. CSA ADMINISTRATIVE ALLOCATION
Terry Jenkins
Department Director
Human Services
Background Information:
The funding formula to carry out the provisions of the Comprehensive Services Act
defines the formula for local administrative costs based upon pool allocations from 1997.
The maximum allocation any locality can receive for administrative costs is $50,000.
This amount has not increased in the past 8 years, despite continuing increases in the
oversight responsibilities of CSA. FY 05 expenditures for CSA in Virginia Beach were
$8,460,206 million dollars, which required a supplemental request of additional state and
local dollars. For FY 06, the CSA Budget is $5,479,949, which means a supplemental
request will likely be needed again this year as well. Covering additional administrative
costs on top of the local share of any supplemental request for child-specific services is
an undue hardship.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to amend Title 2.2, Chapter 52 of the Code of
Virginia to increase the maximum administrative allocation to $100,000 in order to
improve localities ability to meet the administrative requirements of the CSA.
3. SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL STATE GENERAL FUND DOLLARS FOR MENTAL
HEALTH PROGRAMS
Terry Jenkins
Department Director
Human Services
and Community Groups
Background Information:
There continues to be substantial need in the community for mental health, mental
retardation and substance abuse services, as evidenced by growing waiting lists for
community-based care. There also continues to be substantial needs in child- care,
housing, employment, health care, and transportation for low income and disabled
families.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to fully fund the mental health, mental retardation,
and substance abuse system to meet the needs of children and adults on waiting lists for
services. Additionally, the City requests that funds be made available to meet the needs
Page 23
9/5/2006
of low- income families to include childcare, affordable housing, employment, health
care, and transportation.
4. FUNDING FOR THE VIRGINIA BEACH JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER
James K. Spore
City Manager
City of Virginia Beach
Background Information:
The state code allows for the Commonwealth to reimburse construction costs for Juvenile
Detention Centers, like the completed center in Virginia Beach for 50% of the cost. The
State Board of Juvenile Justice approved a full reimbursement of 50% for our Detention
Center; however, the amount we received equals only 48% of the cost. This has
produced a shortfall to Virginia Beach of $297,684.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to provide the full funding of 50% reimbursement to
our Juvenile Detention Center as approved by the State Board of Juvenile Justice. This
additional appropriation would be $297,684.
5. STATE AID TO VIRGINIA PuBLIC LIBRARIES
Marcy Sims
Department Director
Public Libraries
Background Information:
The Code of Virginia (Chapter 3 of Title 42. 1) establishes Virginia's policy of granting
financial aid for the development of local public libraries and provides a formula, which
specifies how much each public library system should receive. This formula has not been
fully funded since 2001. It is currently estimated that full funding of State Aid will
require a $6,505,803 increase in FY 2008 over FY 2007 funding levels.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to fully fund State Aid to Virginia Public Libraries in
the amount of $24,500,000.
Page 24
9/5/2006
6. INFO-POWERING THE COMMONWEALTH
Marcy Sims
Department Director
Public Libraries
Background Information:
The objectives of Infopowering the Commonwealth: Find It Virginia are to provide
appropriate computer hardware, obtain adequate connections to the Internet, and resolve
issues and costs associated with providing adequate access to all citizens to current,
authoritative sources of information. Infopowering has assisted public libraries in
obtaining hardware, Internet access, training labs, and some electronic databases. In
addition, Infopowering funds were used in partnership with grant funds from the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation to extend activities to libraries that were not fully eligible for
funding through the Gates Library initiative. Info-powering funds for FY 2002 had been
reduced to $ 1.6 million. No funding was received in FY 2003 - 07.
Req uest:
The General Assembly is requested to provide $6 million in funding for FY 2008 and in
each year of the biennium to support Infopowering the Commonwealth: Find It Virginia,
to expand the core collection of full text reference, magazine and newspaper articles that
are provided to all citizens of Virginia via their public library card or through the K-12
and community college programs.
7. VIRGINIA BEACH LIFELONG LEARNING CENTER (JOINT USE LIBRARY: A
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AND TIDEWATER
COMMUNITY COLLEGE- VIRGINIA BEACH CAMPUS)
Marcy Sims
Department Director
Public Libraries
Background Information:
The City of Virginia Beach and Tidewater Community College are considering
constructing and operating a single facility to house the proposed TCC/ Virginia Beach
Campus Learning Resources Center and what is presently called the South Rosemont
Area Library (CIP Project 3-175). The College is planning to build a 150,000 square foot
Learning Resource Center (LRC) at the comer of Rosemont Road and Faculty Drive, The
LRC is planned to be built in two phases: a 100,000 square foot project in the 2006-08
biennium and the remaining 50,000 square feet is planned for the 2008-2010 biennium.
The South Rosemont Area Library (18,000 square feet) is scheduled for construction in
Page 25
9/5/2006
FY 2005-2006 on City owned property at the comer of Rosemont Road and Buckner
Boulevard and adjacent to the Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Virginia.
A Joint Use Library Planning Committee was appointed in March 2004, to explore the
possibility of creating an integrated joint use library. The same consultants who were part
of the successful San Jose State University and San Jose City Public Library project,
Anderson Brule Architects, have assisted the City and TCC in facilitating further
strategic feasibility and operational planning.
Other partners have been invited to take part in the planning. The Old Dominion
University/Norfolk State University Higher Education Center is located adjacent to the
TCC-Virginia Beach Campus. Its 85,000 square foot facility serves approximately
16,000 students in undergraduate, graduate, continuing education and workforce
development programs.
A strategic operational planning process is underway to further identify and refine the
description of all service, operational, organizational and facility issues to be resolved
and outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding between the partners. The work will
also provide a conceptual building program to guide the architectural design. In the
2007/2009 budgets the General Assembly allotted the two agencies the authorization to
use $3 million in City funding to complete the engineering on the property.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to provide $38,037,975 as the state's share ofthe
Joint Use Library.
8. SHERIFF'S WORK RELEASE FACILITY
Paul Lanteigne
Sheriff
Sheriff's Office
City Manager's Office
Background Information:
Currently the City of Virginia Beach Sheriff's Work Release Facility is housed in a
leased space and the Sheriff s Workforce is housed in a landscape services building.
While the City in cooperation with the Commonwealth completed a major jail
expansion, there is still a need for additional bed space for prisoners. Co-locating both
the Sheriff's Work Release and Workforce programs in a new facility would allow these
programs the space necessary to operate at greater efficiencies.
Page 26
9/5/2006
Request:
The total estimated cost for design, site selection and construction of a facility is $6.7
million. While total project costs are subject to change pending the completion of the
design work and bid of the project. In 2005-2006, $600,000 in City dollars was allocated
to fund preliminary design work and site selection of the facility. State funding for this
project was recently eliminated from the State's Biennial budget and the City is
requesting that in the interest of public safety the General Assembly restore funding of at
least 25% of the total project.
9. TRANSPORTATION
James K. Spore
City Manager
City of Virginia Beach
Background Information:
Local governments under federal law are required to engage in a long-range
transportation planning process. The long-range transportation plan must be both fiscally
constrained and comply with air quality conformity requirements. The Hampton Roads
region has been engaged for several years in the 2030 Long Range Plan and has
identified a number of projects for funding.
In addition to the six major projects that are part of the MPO package, which include, I-
64 Improvements in the Peninsula and Chesapeake, the Third Crossing, the Mid-town
Tunnel Improvements, Route 460 and the Southeastern Parkway and Greenbelt -
including Route 17 improvements; there are also projects in the primary, secondary and
urban system that need funding.
It is predicted that by 2012 that the State will be unable to build any new transportation
projects and will only have funds for maintenance of existing projects. The cost for
maintaining Virginia's existing roads is increasing by $50 million per year. Unless
substantial funds are made available on a statewide basis, the City will continue to see a
decrease in urban funds, which fund projects like Nimmo Parkway, Princess Anne Road,
Shore Drive, Northampton Boulevard, Witchduck Road, Indian River Road, etc.
Furthermore, Virginia Beach is at the end of the cul-de-sac that begins along interstate I-
64 in the Richmond area and the entire region is beginning to lose its edge in economic
development because of transportation issues. For instance, the City of Virginia Beach
has seen a decrease of over 300,000 overnight visitors per year for the last several years
because of traffic congestion issues - according to the Old Dominion University Annual
Survey at the oceanfront. Furthermore, there is quantifiable data that businesses have
made decisions not to increase their presence in Hampton Roads or to institute a presence
in Hampton Roads because of transportation issues. Suffice to say that the timely
movement of people, goods and services is vital to the economic wellbeing of our
Page 27
9/5/2006
citizens, as well as traffic congestion becoming a very sever quality of life issue. Under
federal law the region, through the MPO, is responsible for identifying projects and
establishing priorities, as it is the General Assembly's responsibility to fund those
projects.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to fully fund the six major projects as identified in
the MPO package, which includes the ability to toll new projects and existing parallel
facilities. There is also $275 million of revenue needed on a yearly basis to make up the
shortfall in funding that tolls will provide for these very expensive projects.
The General Assembly is also requested to increase transportation funding on a statewide
basis by $1 billion. This will provide funding for primary, secondary and urban road
projects such as those mentioned above. Also as mentioned this has become more than a
quality of life issue but also very much maintenance of our economic wellbeing. The
General Assembly must act in order for the region to have an approved 2030 Long Range
Plan by late Winter 2007.
10. VIRGINIA AQUARIUM & MARINE SCIENCE CENTER MARINE ANIMAL
RESEARCH & CONSERV A nON INITIATIVES
Russell Turner
Director of Development
Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center
Background Information:
The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center requests funding in the amount of $2
million that will help improve its marine animal research and conservation support
facilities in order to better serve its mission of "Conservation through Education." Since
the Aquarium first opened to the public in 1986, more than 10 million people have
experienced the thrill of seeing Virginia's marine life in unique and educational exhibits
and programs. As the Aquarium has grown, so has its reputation for expertise and
contributions in marine animal husbandry, research and conservation. As an accredited
member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums and the Alliance of Marine Mammal
Parks and Aquariums, it is important that the Aquarium continue to be recognized for its
animal care and conservation science practices. The Aquarium is currently undertaking
an exciting project that will add a major new exhibits gallery and introduce exotic species
from across the planet to inspire our next generation of visitors. The new exhibits and
programs will utilize the latest science and technology to inform over 600,000 annual
visitors about marine life and habitats linked to Virginia's past. In addition, the
Aquarium is constructing a new animal care center and research vessel to continue to
strive for significant achievements in the areas of marine animal research, conservation
and education.
Page 28
9/5/2006
Req uest:
The General Assembly is requested to provide $2 million to be spent on the Aquarium's
marine animal research and conservation resources. A modest investment can be
leveraged to significantly impact research and education in Virginia's economically and
ecologically important coastal communities and waters, and positions the
Commonwealth for an international role in conservation initiatives. With advanced
marine animal care facilities, Aquarium staff and research partners can study and develop
innovative research practices, thereby increasing scientific understanding and the ultimate
conservation of vital ocean resources. The Aquarium is in a unique position to bring the
results of scientific research and conservation to a wide range of general audiences, from
regional residents and school children to international visitors. The Aquarium's new
exhibits will expand the scope of its collection to include species from other parts of the
world. These unusual animals will illustrate adaptations to special environments and how
these exotic habitats relate to Virginia and global conservation issues. Aquarium staff
and research partners will have hands-on experience with these and other marine species
and contribute directly to research and conservation efforts in Virginia and across the
globe. The Aquarium will use this investment from the Commonwealth to provide
equipment and technology to support these efforts. Funds will be used to equip advanced
animal husbandry systems, research laboratories, and an exhibits and equipment shop in
the new 16,000 square foot animal tare center scheduled for completion in 2008.
Sophisticated equipment for marine animal observations and oceanographic studies will
enhance a new 46-foot research/education vessel being constructed for delivery in 2007.
These resources will support research and conservation efforts of Aquarium staff and
their partners from universities and industry. Equally important, the Aquarium's
expertise with education and outreach will bring these efforts and the world of ocean
science directly to students of all ages.
11. VIRGINIA BEACH CONVENTION CENTER FUNDING
James Ricketts
Department Director
Convention & Visitors Bureau
Background Information:
In 2005, the City of Virginia Beach opened the first phase of the new Virginia Beach
Convention Center. The new facility replaces the Pavilion Convention Center. Designed
by the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SaM) the complete facility is
scheduled to open in early 2007.
The old center had a total of 188,000 square feet and lacked the amenities essential for
today's meeting planners. Even with only approximately half of the new facility opened,
the new center is larger than the old facility and has amenities and technology that exceed
meeting planners expectations. When completed, the new facility will have a total of
516,000 square feet. This includes 150,000 square feet of exhibition space, over 31,000
Page 29
9/512006
sq. ft. of ballroom space and approximately 29,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. The total cost
of the facility is $202.571 million.
The new convention center will help put Virginia on the map as a viable convention state.
According to the Feasibility Study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the
Commonwealth will realize the following economic benefits: Incremental tax revenues
(in 2002 dollars) $1.2 to $2 million annually, between 900 - 1,500 additional jobs and
between $27.7 million - $44.8 million in incremental direct expenditures new to the
Commonwealth (not a transfer from other localities in the Commonwealth).
The economic impact for Hampton Roads will be $50.5 million to $79.3 million in
incremental direct expenditures and between 1,700 and 2,700 new jobs. This is in
addition to the $2.1 million incremental tax revenue to the City of Virginia Beach, $97
million in Sales and 1,900 additional jobs.
Already sales projects for 2006, with only half of the facility opened, are ahead of the
Feasibility Study projections for 2009 when the entire facility would have been opened
and fully operational for 1-2 years.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to provide $10 million in funding for the new
Convention Center. This is in keeping with the benefits to the Commonwealth based on
the amount of state tax revenue that will be generated from the new facility over a ten-
year period.
12. CONTEMPORARY ART CENTER OF VIRGINIA FUNDING
Cameron Kitchen
Executive Director
Contemporary Art Center of Virginia
Background Information:
The Contemporary Art Center of Virginia (CAe) is seeking funds from the
Commonwealth of Virginia for completion of renovations and upgrades to Virginia's
leading contemporary art institution to support new and innovative educational programs
and exhibits. As a major cultural amenity in Hampton Roads and a significant tourist
attraction, the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia reaches over 560,000 people
annually. The Contemporary Art Center of Virginia is a model of financial and artistic
management and operates on a balanced budget. CAC completed Phase One of its
capital improvement and endowment campaign in 2003 and opened the Rodriguez
Pavilion, Butler Galleries, and new art storage areas with the support ofthe City of
Virginia Beach, private donors, and corporations.

9/5/2006
Now in Phase Two of its capital improvement and endowment campaign, CAC is seeking
the Commonwealth of Virginia to complete its match of the City of Virginia Beach's
Phase One appropriation. This investment by the Commonwealth will enable CAC to
meet increasing demands for on-site educational programs, outreach, world-class
exhibitions, performances, and corporate and private functions at CAC's museum and
studio school in Virginia Beach. The Commonwealth of Virginia funds requested are a
direct match for the funds appropriated in Phase One from the City of Virginia Beach.
The grant will be used solely for the capital improvement and endowment campaign and
will fund much-needed modernization of CAC's security systems, grounds, technical
capabilities, galleries and classrooms.
Req uest:
The General Assembly is requested to provide $750,000 to the Contemporary Art Center
of Virginia.
13. THE SANDLER CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS FUNDING
Emily Spruill
Director of Cultural Affairs
City of Virl?inia Beach
Background Information:
The Sandler Center for the Performing Arts, a 1200-seat, 84,000 square-foot facility, will
be the cultural centerpiece of Virginia Beach, located at the core of the City's emerging
Town Center. When it opens in Fall 2007, the Center will have spaces for performances,
public and performer support and it will give the opportunity to expand the type and
diversity of the performing arts programs in Hampton Roads and the State of Virginia.
The $47 million facility, built under Virginia's PPEA process, will have a full range of
amenities, meeting the needs of today and tomorrow. As a tangible demonstration of
their commitment, the Virginia Beach City Council dedicated $35 million of City funds
to the project. The Virginia Beach Performing Arts Center Foundation, a non-profit
organization spearheaded by some of the City's top civic and business leaders, is leading
a $12.5 million capital fundraising campaign. Over 70% of the goal has been raised to
date. This includes $1,460,000 from the Commonwealth.
The Sandler Center for the Performing Arts will have a dramatic impact to the State of
Virginia's tax base, generating over $2.2 million for the construction phase and $35,500
in annual State tax revenue. We ask the State to strengthen its commitment and
investment to the future of this cultural landmark and to the City as a whole, by
appropriating $500,000 for the operations of the Center.
The new location opening in Fall 2007 at the exciting Town Center development will
become a defining asset for social development for the City and Hampton Roads. It will
Page 31
9/5/2006
become a focal point for social activities from education to the arts and entertainment
and will illustrate the State's dedication to furthering the cultural life o(its citizens.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to appropriate $500,000 for the operations of the
Sandler Center for the Performing Arts.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Establish An Organizing Committee to Advise Council
Concerning the Creation and Organization of a Foundation to Assist the City in
the Support of City-run Historic Sites
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2006
. Background:
The Virginia Beach City Council established the Francis Land House Board of
Governors in August 1984 (City Code Section 2-5) as an advisory body regarding
planning, policy and management of the Land House. In 1985 the code was
amended to provide for the establishment of the Friends of the Francis Land
House support organization. The Board was originally City council appointed. In
1993, the City Code was amended to allow for eleven (11) Council appointees
and up to twenty-two (22) Board appointees.
When the Department of Museums increased its responsibilities to indude the
Adam Thoroughgood House operation in 1999, the Francis Land House Board of
Governors informally extended its advisory role to also include the Thoroughgood
House. With the acquisition of this National Historic Landmark completed in
September 2003, a formal arrangement for governance of the Adam
Thoroughgood House is needed.
In addition, the Department of Museums undertook the operation of the
Lynnhaven House in May 2006. This development further establishes the need
for the development of a flexible govemance structure that can incorporate
expansion and the addition of other historic sites as seamlessly as possible.
The Department of Museums presented recommendations for the govemance
structure via a Policy Report to City Council in July 2004. The recommendations
had been developed through a process where staff obtained public comment and
employed a professional firm experienced in working with non-profit agencies on
issues of governance. The professional firm, Stumpf and Associates, conducted
interviews with members of the Board, citizens, City staff and museum
department directors in other cities/counties in Virginia and submitted a written
report. Based upon public input and the study of this issue, staff recommended
establishing one board for both sites as the best way to support the department's
operational approach.
In July 2004, the Board's leadership indicated that they wanted additional time to
review options and provide input on the recommendations. City Council deferred
the issue. Based upon the Board's work to review other structures and options
and meetings with interested members from City Council, Department of
Museums staff briefed City Council in August 2005. A list of governance structure
options was provided and staff recommended that we should pursue developing
a Code Amendment to establish a model similar to what. is employed for the
Department of Public Libraries.
A transition team of Board members, Friends members and staff was established
to help develop some of the structural details and to review changes and suggest
revisions to the proposed code amendments as the process moved forward. The
Board as a whole, the Friends Executive Committee and Council representatives
provided additional input. In the final analysis, the developed structure was too
difficult to support with limited departmental resources to accomplish its
intentions.
. Considerations:
The Virginia Aquarium and the Performing Arts Theatre foundations have
provided a successful model for citizen involvement in coordination, planning and
support of these cultural institutions. The Aquarium has a twenty-year history of
success; while the Theatre illustrates that much can be accomplished in a short
period of time. The development of historic houses/sites and the type of activities
they provide for the community are more closely related to these entities than to
the libraries.
Several citizens have already indicated they would help to establish such an
organization, so indications are that community support exists for the creation of
a Virginia Beach Historic Sites Foundation.
. Public Information:
Information regarding this recommended action will be disseminated to the public
through the normal process involving the advertisement of the City Council
agenda.
. Alternatives:
The primary alternative is for Department of Museums staff to revisit and renew
their efforts to develop recommendations for amendments to City Code Section
2-5 regarding a City Council-appointed Board for the Historic Sites.
. Recommendations:
It is recommended that City Council adopt the resolution and establish an
Organizing Committee for the purpose of advising the Council concerning the
creation and organization of a foundation to assist in the support of City-operated
historic sites.

Item #17
KAH Properties, L.L.c.
Conditional Use Permit
3222 Virginia Beach Boulevard
District 5
Lynnhaven
August 9, 2006
CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next application is item 17. It is KAH Properties, L.L.c. It is for
a Conditional Use Permit for motor vehicle sales and service on property located at 3222
Virginia Beach Boulevard in the Lynnhaven District.
Billy Garrington: Thank you Ms. Anderson. Ladies and gentleman of the Planning
Commission, for the record, I'm Billy Garrington, here today on behalf of the applicant,
KAH Properties. In the staff write up you will find six (6) conditions that are attached
with this Conditional Use Permit request, and we are in total agreement with those six (6)
conditions.
=
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Garrington. Is there any opposition to this application?
Again, Mr. Ripley will explain.
Ronald Ripley: The Commission also felt this was an appropriate item to be placed on
consent. It is a redevelopment of a commercial property. It is an expansion of the Hall
Auto business that is on Virginia Beach Boulevard, and it is a compatible building. He
has built similar style buildings of similar quality, and it is an expansion of those
buildings. It is just a good, logical, natural use of the property. So, we placed it on
consent.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Ripley. I make a motion to approve consent agenda
item 17.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor to approve this consent agenda item. Do I
have a second?
Dorothy Wood: Second.
Barry Knight: A second by Dot Wood. Is there any discussion? Call for the question.

Conditional Zoning Change from AG-2 to )-2
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Dr. Alan Mahanes - Change of Zoning District Classification, 2513 North
Landing Road (DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE)
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2006
. Background:
Application of Dr. Alan Mahanes for a Chanqe of Zoninq District Classification
from AG-2 Agricultural District (Historic and Cultural Overlay) to Conditional 0-2
Office District (Historic and Cultural Overlay) on property located at 2513 North
Landing Road (GPIN 1494717090). DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE
. Considerations:
The applicant requests a change of zoning for this property to allow the
development of a 4,500 square foot one-story office building. The majority of the
building will be used for a dental office, with the remainder of the square footage
available for lease. The building is designed to reflect the rural clapboard-sided
buildings found within this area of the city.
The proposal meets the guidelines of the Historic and Cultural Overlay District
and the land use policies outlined in the Comprehensive Plan for non-residential
uses in the Transition Area. The plan provides 50 percent open space, a majority
of which has been left in a natural state. A multi-purpose trail along North
Landing Road will be provided, to be shown on the site plan submitted to the
Development Services Center after coordination with the City's Department of
Parks and Recreation.
The proposal is compatible with adjacent properties. The exterior building
materials, colors, and rural vernacular design reflect the architectural character
found in the surrounding area.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because it
meets the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, is compatible with
adjacent properties, staff recommended approval, and there was no opposition.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0 to approve
the request as proffered.

The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as being within the 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.
"The policies of this Comprehensive Plan have been designed to ensure that the Transition Area
continues to be a well-planned area. Employment, mixed use, and residential centers, each with its own
open space and trail system, will be clustered along and connected to the public greenway offering a
variety of quality home and work environments." (p. 143)
Evaluation:
The applicant has provided a proposal that meets the guidelines of the Historic and Cultural Overlay
District and the land use policies outlined in the Comprehensive Plan for non-residential uses in the
Transition Area. The proposal is compatible with adjacent properties. The exterior building materials,
colors, and rural vernacular design reflect the architectural character found in the surrounding area.
The plan strives for the minimum 50 percent open space, a majority of which the applicant has left in a
natural state. The applicant's representative has indicated a multi-purpose trail along North Landing Road

Conditional Zoning Change: from R-5D to A-24
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Kemp Enterprises, Inc. - Change of Zoning District Classification, Bonney
Road, east of Kenley Road (DISTRICT 2 - KEMPSVILLE)
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2006
. Background:
Application of Kemp Enterprises, Inc. for a Chanqe of Zoninq District
Classification from R-5D Residential Duplex District to Conditional A-24
Apartment District on property located on the south side of Bonney Road,
approximately 540 feet east of Kenley Road (GPINs 1477009836; 1477009521;
1477100757; 1477101774; 1477101694). DISTRICT 2 - KEMPSVILLE
. Considerations:
The applicant proposes to consolidate and rezone six parcels currently zoned R-
50 to A-24 Apartment in order to redevelop the site for townhouse-style
condominium units with garages. The site plan depicts 55 units on a 5.87 acre
site (after roadway dedication), resulting in a density of 9.37 units per acre, which
is below the density allowed in the A-12 District. The applicant, however, is
requesting A-24 zoning due to the fact that the lot coverage requirements under
A-12 zoning will not allow for the design of larger townhouse-style units with
garages.
The development is designed around a small central park with walking paths, a
pergola, unique entrance feature and attractive landscaping. The architecture of
the multi-family units is more contemporary in design, with varying roof heights
and building elevations that recede and project creating interesting shadow lines.
The building materials are vinyl staggered shake siding above a first floor brick
base. The roof material is an architectural grade asphalt shingle roof with a
standing seam metal roof at the entrances on the end walls.
The proposal is compatible with the predominant residential land use and
densities found in the surrounding area. The proposal is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area, as the density of the
development is equivalent to the density of the surrounding area.
There was opposition to the request. One of the issues of the opposition was the
height of the building, as the A-24 Apartment District allows a maximum height of
45 feet. The applicant's representative informed the Planning Commission that
the height of the buildings did not exceed 36 feet. The Planning Commission
Kemp Enterprises, Inc.
Page 2 of 2
concluded that height was acceptable and compatible with the adjoining single-
family homes.
After the Planning Commission hearing, the applicant's representative contacted
staff and noted that, upon further discussion with the applicant's architect, an
error had been made, and it had been determined that the height of the building
did indeed exceed 36 feet. The applicant and staff, therefore, concur that this
matter should be referred back to the Planning Commission for further
consideration.

The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0 to approve
the request as proffered.

The applicant proposes to consolidate and rezone six parcels
currently zoned R-5D to A-24 Apartment in order to redevelop
the site for townhouse-style condominium units with garages. The site plan depicts 55 units on a 5.87
acre site (after dedication), resulting in a density of 9.37 units per acre, which is below the density allowed
in the A-12 District. The applicant, however, is requesting A-24 zoning due to the fact that the lot

with garages.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
This multi-family development is designed around a central park with walking paths, a pergola, unique
entrance feature and attractive landscaping. .

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers provided below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site to be within Strategic Growth Area 4. This site is located
along the periphery of one of the sub-areas found in Strategic Growth Area 4. This sub-area, known as
Bonney Road West Corridor, is centrally located within the city along 1-264 and Virginia Beach Boulevard
near key interstate roadway interchanges and is unencumbered by AICUZ high noise or accident
potential zones. The Bonney Road West Corridor (South of 1-264) continues to grow economically, and
:-/'",,;''''-'-''
7~'" ,
"? r:"'~- "."<;
V'V " _',.",,/
. ''',,~
"
,~:,". ~'<~~~j,
';;'>c<'V
has the potential as a major new development and redevelopment area. Significant public and private
investments have been targeted within this,general area.'
Developments within close proximityto the Bonney Road West Corridor should demonstrate exceptional
quality inthe areas of site planning and building design. Bonney Road West is recommended for mixed
use development including medium and medium to high intensity uses. Emphasis should be placed on
providing exceptional architecture and site design with attractive landscape treatment. .
Evaluation:
The proposed 55 townhouse units are compatible with the existing predominately residential land use and
densities found in thesurrou'1ding area. The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendationsfor this area, ,as the density of the development is equivalent to the density of the
surrounding area. . .
The requirement of the A~12Apartment District for a maximum of 40 percent lot coverage would prevent
the applicant from providing the larger townhouse-style condominium units with garages. Thus, the
applicant is proposing use of A-24 zoning since it will allow the proposed lot coverage of 51 percent. The
proffers limit the density to that indicated 01"1 the site plan, 9.37 units per acre.
The proposed exterior building materials arecorhplementary with the residential neighborhoods nearby to
this property and exhibit the qual,ity called for by the Comprehensive Plan.
PROFFERS
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The
applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these
proffers in an attempt to "offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable,"
(9107(h)(1)). Should this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve
as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.
PROFFER 1:
When the property is developed, the entrance, streets, landscaping, fencing and open space features shall
be substantially in accordance with "Rezoning Exhibit of KEMPS GATE", pages 1 and 2, dated 01/12/06,
prepared by Kellam - Gerwitz Engineering, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and
is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning ("Concept Plan").
PROFFER 2:
Vehicular Ingress and Egress shall be via one (1) entrance from Bonney Road as depicted on the
Conceptual Plan.
PROFFER 3:
When the property is developed, there will be no more than fifty-five (55) residential condominium units,

Item #4
Kemp Enterprises, Inc.
Change of Zoning District Classification
South side of Bonney Road
District 2 '
Kempsville
August 9, 2006
REGULAR
Barry Knight: We will now open the public hearing portion of the Planning Commission.
Mr. Strange, will you call the first item to be heard?
Joseph Strange: Thank you. The first item is item 4, Kemp Enterprises, Inc. It's an
ordinance upon application of Kemp Enterprises. Inc. for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from R-5D Residential Duplex District to Conditional A-24 Apartment
District on property located on the south side of Bonney Road, approximately 540 feet
east of Kenley Road, District 2, Kempsville, with five proffers.
Barry Knight: Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Chairman Knight and members of the Planning Commision,
for the record, my name is Eddie Bourdon. It is my privilege to come before you this
afternoon and represent Mr. George Kemp, and Kemp Enterprises on this application. As
is set forth in a very thorough and accurate review by your staff, this is an assemblage of
six parcels of property on the south side of Bonney Road. The property is acro.:.s from the
redevelopment that is about to take place on the old trailer park site. The new
development is called Wedgewood. This property is zoned R-5D. Mr. Kemp has gone
around and assembled all the property that he could. He owned the bulk of it, and added
some additional pieces in working with your staff, and we are now coming forward with
this application for a Conditional Change of Zoning to A-24. However, it is a tightly
proffered application that actually has a density of 9.37 units per acre, and that is
calculated after dedicating a ten foot strip along the significant amount of frontage on
Bonney Road for right-of-way improvements that will actually be made, and that is over
20,000 square feet of dedication at no cost to the city. The applicant will be putting in
sidewalks and lighting along that section of Bonney Road as well as all of the
development that is proposed on this piece of property. The density, as I said previously,
is actually less dense than all of the multi-family residential that exists in the area, and
that will be built across the street, which is far greater in density than this proposal. The
elevations, and I apologize for these old school elevations. They really don't give us the
sense of the architectural relief that is present here, because this is not a flat building by
any stretch. If you look at all the elevations and really study them, because I know Mr.
Waller can, there is a lot of pop out and back on these. It is anything but flat or one-
dimensional. They have brick and cedar vinyl exterior on the units, and each unit has a 1
V2 or 2-car garage. Each unit is 2,500 square feet of living area or greater. Again, the
Item #4

square footage is 2,500, excluding the garage areas. These units will jJe priced in the low
$300,000, and again, will be an excellent addition to this market. It's got an extensive
landscape plan that you have. We've used the BMP in theback as an amenity. We've
got a trail around the entire BMP, which shows the improvements in the central areas,
benches. We've got a pergola, and we've got a lot of stamped asphalt to increase the
appearance, as far as the quality of appearance of the community. It is a nice entrance
feature dividing the entrance feature with the water feature in the middle of the round-
about at the entrance to the community. We certainly concur with staff s evaluation of
this application and the recommendation of approval. We've also added something I
forgot to mention. For public safety, especially fire, so that these units, as these entrances
are at the ends of the end units facing Bonney Road, which is what our Comprehensive
Plan has asked for, as far as the quality appearance along Bonney Road. The ability to get
emergency vehicles, i.e., fire equipment around these buildings, provided by the use of
these pavers that allow grass to grow through it, so this, even though it is shown here, in
the dark color, this will be a grassed area, but it will be a surface that will support a fire
vehicle if need be. You've seen them on a couple of other applications in the last twelve
months. It is a good feature from a safety perspective. We proffered the type of fencing,
and as I mentioned previously, all the building material on the buildings comprising the
55 units on 6.2 acres of property. I'll be happy to answer any questions that any of you
may have. We can talk about the BMP. I don't know if the gentleman is here, or if that is
anything you want to speak about at this point in time.
Barry Knight: Any questions for Mr. Bourdon? Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have Michael Thompson.
Barry Knight: Welcome sir. Please state your name for the record.
Michael Thompson: Michael Thompson. I appreciate the chance to speak today. I live at
256 Kenley Road, which is Lot 9 on the site plan.
Barry Knight: There is a pointer right there. You can rip that off and press the button.
Michael Thompson: That lot right there. When I first saw this plan a couple of weeks
ago, I was really uncomfortable with the size and mass of these buildings. With one of
them practically being right behind my property. I'm not really sure how the scale works
out, but it is pretty close to my line, probably 16 to 20 feet. But as long as they are
following the code and ordinances, I don't have any problem with them doing what they
want to do. I'm not going to tell someone what they can and can't do with their property
just as long as they are following the rules. But, I'm not a lawyer but when I look at the
City Ordinances, I do find that Section 600 of the Zoning Ordinance talks about the A-24
and the A-36 areas as not being intended to create more area except for infilling where
Item #4
Kemp Enterprises, Inc.
Page 3
=
those densities already exist. Now my problem is not a density proble_m. It's the size of
the structure. The height. Section 604 talks about the A-12 and A-36 being a maximum
of 35 feet high. The A-24 and A-36 are 45 feet high, which allows them to do the garage.
My house is 28 feet tall to the peak. That is right next to that, and so are all the houses
along that street. If you look at the other plan that covers the area, all the residences are
all zoned A-12 or R-5, which also has a maximum of 35 feet. So, there isn't any structure
in that area that compares in height to these structures. Also, when I look at the chapter
in your Comprehensive Plan for the community appearance and design, it talks about the
building mass and it says, "the mass or overall size in height of the structures should be
appropriate to the surroundings". The proximity of this property behind mine, I don't feel
that is. Like I said before, if these items were not in the ordinance, I wouldn't be here
today. Now, I have no problem with him building what they want to do, but what we're
asking for is basically an exception to the ordinance to create an A-24 that allows them to
build higher. Additionally, I don't know if it much matters, I noticed that the landscape
and buffering requires the 10 foot landscape, Category 4 between the two properties,
between apartment and residential, and I don't see that there. Maybe the vinyl fence
meets that requirement, but I'm not sure. While the plan looks nice as an upgrade, and
nice fence and landscaping around the perimeter, I just oppose the large structure in the
area. I kind of have a nice view of what we're developing in Town Center from my yard
and through my window, and this is, and not that it's important, but that kind of blocks
my view. The ordinance kind of protects my interest.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Thompson. Are there any questions of Mr. Thompson?
He is the adjacent property owner. Thank you sir.
Michael Thompson: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Mr. Strange.
Joseph Strange: That's all the speakers that we have.
Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Chairman, I want to thank Mr. Thompson for coming down here. I
wish we had a chance to speak previously. He has done his homework and he spoke very
well. The one thing that I want to let him know is that the height of the building, and
starting with the portion that is closest to him, the peak of the roof, which is not close to
him. The end of the building is what faces his property. He was correct in terms of the
distance. He is dead on with 16 to 20 feet. The height of the peak of the roof here, which
is well back roughly about 24 feet back, that is 36 feet in height, just that peak.
Everything else on these buildings is less than 35 feet. We are not using the A-24 to
create a higher building than allowed in A-12. We're doing less density than A-12. The
height of this section of the building here, which is the section of the building that faces
the back of Mr. Thompson's house, is about 26 feet in height. It's less height than the
height of his house. It steps up and it steps up again. The peak of this roof is 36 feet, one
foot above the 35 feet as permitted in A-12. If this were a 40-foot straight huge building,
Item #4
Kemp Enterprises, Inc.
Page 4
you know, we would agree with him. 1'm confident that staff would intensify working
with my client, going through this process. My client developed the property where Mr.
Thompson lives in that home. So, he .has been sensitive or intended to be sensitive to
those potential concerns, which would be the stepping up of the height and in keeping the
buildings in line with the height of the area in total. On the back of Mr. Thompson's lot
along with all the other homes that abut along Kenley, there is an existing six foot privacy
fence that is wooden, and we would be adding directly adjacent to it a six-foot vinyl, no-
maintenance privacy fence as well.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon? Mr. Bourdon, thank
you for answering questions for Mr. Thompson. I hope that he now has a more clear
picture. We know that staff has tried, with Mr. Kemp, tried to step some of these
buildings down on this development as in most all developments that are around, because
they are very sensitive to the height of the adjacent property owners. You did address the
buffering. Are there any questions? Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: Question. Mr. White? The recommendation as a A-24 for this particular
project had to deal with the lot coverage.
Stephen White: Correct.
=
Ronald Ripley: Do the proffers hold the density to less than 1O? Is that correct.
Stephen White: Exactly. You basically have an A-12 project with A-24 zoning so that it
could have the lot coverage that you see.
Ronald Ripley: For the larger more pricier development.
Stephen White: It's a problem that we have been having lately with a new product. The
market has changed since the zoning ordinance was written. Sometime, in the next year,
we are going to get around to addressing these issues, but this is the third or fourth time
we've had an applicant go the next highest apartment zoning district because of lot
coverage issue or the height issue. Either one.
Eddie Bourdon: Mr. Ripley, if I could add. I think, with all due respect, it is probably
getting up to double figures that we have had applications come in solely because of lot
coverage. The 40 percent of lot coverage in A-12 only allows you to do, basically you're
building small flats over each other, lower quality type of units. I also wanted to point
out that these are definitely high quality, but the pricing on these units are, and I won't
say cheap by any stretch, but he's keeping the prices in an area $300,000 to $320,000 that
is no way out there like a lot of the houses on the market.
Ronald Ripley: It it is in the low $300,000, it is just starting to get above that
affordability threshold. It is right there on the edge.

Eddie Bourdon: That is correct. They are high quality units with spa~e and garages.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Bourdon? Thank you. I close the
public hearing portion of this and open it up for discussion. Is there any discussion? Do I
hear a motion? Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: I make a motion to approve the application.
Henry Livas: Second.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor to approve agenda item 4, Kemp
Enterprises, Inc. The motion was made by Ron Ripley and seconded by Henry Livas. Is
there any discussion? Call for the question.

Dear Mr.Diezel
Play slideshow I Download imaaes
As per my conversation with Karen Prochilo, on 7/31/06, I have issues concerning the current
BMP, located on my property at 260 Kenley Road, Va. Beach, VA. 23462. (lot 10 of Kemps Cove)
project constructed by Kemp Enterprises, inc. several years ago. In the 3 years my wife and I
have lived here, this BMP has not been able to contain water on dry spells, it is always dry with
mud, mold and bacteria in the summer and is a breeding grounds for mosquitoes, I believe it to
be, a serious health issue for our community. On the other hand, when we get lots of rain and it
fills up, the overflow tower is inadequate, it does not drain the water level down. I was literally
outside in the last down pour scraping debris with a rake, off the top grate of the tower and to
no avail, the water level continued to rise and elevate very close to the foundation of my house.
Currently I have a servic~ work order #301409, requested by a Mr. John Paxon, but as of
several months gone by,no one has been out to look at the BMP and or contact me.
=
My wish is that, all persons involved agree to and decide that, my BMP, located on my
property at 260 Kenley Road, be connected underground to the new proposed BMP (see PLANS
by Kemp Enterprises, inc.) Kemps Gate off Bonney Road, and the old BMP on my property be
filled in and just disappear, yet still be functioning underground in conjunction with the bigger
better BM~ on the new proposed site. This will greatly benefit the entire community and allow for
a healthier happier environment.
Also, let us address the inadequate street lighting issue at this time, We in the community
would like to see a additional street light in between the two vacant lots on Kenley road, as part
of the Kemp Enterprises, inc., project that is now Kemps Cove, he should have been requested
to follow the street light pattern all the way down to the end of his project, is this not something
the contractor is "Bonded" by the city to provide? I will be more than happy to meet anybody,
willing to come out here "on-site" at 260 Kenley Road, to explain in further detail our issues
concerning the BMP and street light issue.
Thank-you

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Rhoman Companies, Ltd. - Change of Zoning District Classification, 1032
Bells Road (portion of) and 1041 Olds Lane (DISTRICT 6 - BEACH)
MEETING DATE: September 12, 2006
. Background:
Application of Rhoman Companies, Ltd. for a Chanqe of Zoninq District
Classification from R-10 Residential District to Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial
District on property located on the north side of Bells Road, approximately 584
feet east of South Birdneck Road, addressed as 1032 Bells Road (portion of) and
1041 Olds Lane (GPINs 2416585191 (portion of); 2416584390). DISTRICT 6-
BEACH
. Considerations:
The applicant proposes to rezone a 4.68 acre site, currently zoned R-10
Residential District, to Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial District for the development
of warehouse and office-warehouse buildings. Three (3) buildings, totaling
71,600 square feet of floor area, are depicted on the plan, as well as 154 parking
spaces. Elevations have been proffered that depict a neutral color building
constructed of concrete masonry units and metal panels. This site is located
within the Greater than 75 AICUZ as well as the Accident Potential Zone (APZ) 2.
In addition, the United States Navy owns a restrictive easement on the property
that also limits the development potential of the site.
The site abuts two right-of-ways: Olds Lane and Bells Road. Ingress and egress
will be exclusively via Bells Road. A 25-foot wide buffer is depicted on the
concept plan adjacent to Olds Lane, the residentially zoned parcels to the west,
and the northern property lines, which are also adjacent to residentially zoned
lots.
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations and
with Section 1800 of the City Zoning Ordinance (AICUZ Overlay Ordinance). This
site poses a challenge to blend the uses allowed under the Navy's restrictive
easement and under Section 1800 of the City's Zoning Ordinance with the
existing surrounding residential dwellings. This almost five (5) acre site is located
at the end of a public street with dwellings only to the west. The entire eastern
property line abuts property owned by the federal government. The large parcel
to the south, across Bells Road, is also owned by the federal government. Citing
the use limitations of the easement and the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance, it is highly

unlikely that new residential development will occur in the vicinity of this parcel. In
fact, as one reviews the zoning history, it is clear that this area is slowly
transitioning away from residential uses to uses more compatible with the
operations at NAS Oceana, consistent with the recommendation of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because it is
compatible with AICUZ guidelines, the applicant worked with adjacent property
owners to alleviate concerns, staff recommended approval, and there was no
opposition.

The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0 to approve
this request as proffered.

APPLICATION HISTORY: This request was deferred by Planning Commission at the July 12, 2006 meeting to
allow the applicant an opportunity to revise the proffer agreement to address concerns of both the
Commissioners and the surrounding property owners.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant proposes to rezone a 4.68 acre site, currently
zoned R-10 Residential District, to Conditional 1-1 Light
Industrial District for the development of warehouse and office-warehouse buildings. Three (3) buildings,
totaling 71,600 square feet of floor area, are depicted on the plan, as well as 154 parking spaces.
Elevations have been submitted, but not proffered, that depict a neutral color building constructed of
primarily concrete masonry units. This site is located within the Greater than 75 AICUZ as well as the
Accident Potential Zone (APZ) 2. In addition, the United States Navy owns a restrictive easement on the
property that also limits the development potential of the site. The site abuts two right-of-ways: Olds Lane
and Bells Road. Ingress and egress will be exclusively via Bells Road. A 25-foot wide buffer is depicted
on the concept plan adjacent to Olds Lane, the residentially zoned parcels to the west, and only partially
along the northern property lines, which are also adjacent to residentially zoned lots. A minimum 25-foot
wide buffer with Category II landscaping is typically required along all property lines adjacent to
residentially zoned properties; however, the applicant is requesting that this requirement be eliminated

along a portion of the northern and eastern property lines as the property adjacent is owned by the
federal government, in the APZ-2, and within an AICUZ of Greater than 75. As such, future residential
development on the adjacent, undeveloped properties is highly unlikely.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Bells
Road is considered a two-lane, undivided, local street. The right-of-way width is only about 42 feet
across the front of this site. The Birdneck Road widening project is scheduled to begin construction in
2007and will include the addition of a traffic signal at the Bells Road and Birdneck Road intersection.

during final site plan review):
. A right-of-way dedication should be required to bring the Bells Road ROW width to 50 feet.
. Roadway improvements, including pavement widening, curb and gutter and streetlights may be
required with the construction of the proposed office/warehouse facility.
. The number and locations of the proposed entrances will be reviewed at the construction plan
submittal. The proposed entrances as sketched on the conceptual site plan do not appear to meet
City Standards for an industrial facility.
WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is an 8 inch City water line in Bells Road.
SEWER: This site must connect to City sanitary sewer. Analysis of Pump Station 122 and the sanitary sewer
collection system is required to ensure future flows can be accommodated. There is an 8 inch City sanitary
. sewer in Bells Road.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers. The proffers are provided below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as being within the Primary Residential Area, and more
specifically within the North General Booth Boulevard Corridor. The Plan's recommendations for this area
stress its proximity to NAS Oceana, and note that any development or redevelopment should be
consistent with and adhere to the provisions of the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance. The Plan also suggests
that any such development should be of a scale and design that is compatible to the surrounding area.
Evaluation:
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations and with Section 1800 of the
City Zoning Ordinance (AICUZ Overlay Ordinance). This site poses a challenge to blend the uses allowed
under the Navy's restrictive easement and under Section 1800 of the City's Zoning Ordinance with uses
that are sensitive to the existing surrounding residential dwellings. This almost five (5) acre site is located
at the end of a public street with dwellings only to the west. The entire eastern property line abuts
property owned by the federal government. The large parcel to the south, across Bells Road, is also
owned by the federal government. Citing the use limitations of the easement and the AICUZ Overlay
Ordinance, it is highly unlikely that new residential development will occur in the vicinity of this parcel. In
fact, as one reviews the zoning history, it is clear that this area is slowly transitioning away from
residential uses to uses more compatible with the operations at NAS Oceana, consistent with the
recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan noted above.

Item #19

Change of Zoning District Classification
North side of Bells Road - 1032 Bells Road
District 6
Beach
August 9, 2006
CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next item is item 19, Rhoman Companies, Ltd. This is for a
Change of Zoning from R -10 Residential District to Conditional I-I Light Industrial on
property located at 1032 Bells Road, located in the Beach District. Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Ms. Anderson. Again, for the record, Eddie Bourdon, a
Virginia Beach attorney, and we appreciate being placed on the consent agenda, making
me look prophetic from last's months meeting. We have worked everything out with all
residential homeowners.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Is there any opposition to this application?
Mr. Crabtree will review this applicantion.
=
Eugene Crabtree: We reviewed this last month. We deferred, and it came before us
today, and the Planning Commission felt that it was suitable for consent agenda. This is
for a piece of property to be reclassified from R -10 Residential to I-I Light Industrial. It
is located in a greater than 75 dB AICUZ zone, and it is in a zone where there is an
easement by the U.S. Navy. It is a APZ-2, and when it was rezoned as a residential, it
was included in the Comprehensive Plan as that, which prior to the BRAC Commission,
this has become a piece of property that can't be developed as R-lO. It is completely
surrounded by Navy property, and if we did not let it be changed from R-lO to I-I, this
property would sit, and the property owners would have a worthless piece of property
they could do absolutely nothing with. Therefore, we feel like it is very appropriate to be
changed from R-IO to I-I in order for the property owners to get use out of it. The
applicant has agreed with the surrounding property owners on items that were of a
concern last month, and they appointed a buffer between their property and the residential
owners, and therefore, we feel like it is suitable for consent, and we put it on the consent
agenda.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Crabtree. Mr. Chairman, I make a motion to approve
consent agenda item 19.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor to approve this consent agenda item. Do I
have a second?
Dorothy Wood: Second.

THIS AGREEMENT, made this 1st day of May, 2006, by and between RHOMAN
COMPANIES, LTD., a Virginia corporation, Grantor, party of the first part; LOREITA V.
BROWN, Grantor, party of the second part; and THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a
municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Grantee, party of the third part.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the party of the second part is the owner of certain property located in
the Beach District of the City of Virginia Beach, containing approximately 4.68 acres and
described in Exhibit ".A:' attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the
"Property"); and
WHEREAS, the party of the first part, being the contract purchaser of the Property
has initiated a conditional amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, by petition addressed to the Grantee so as to change the Zoning Classification of
the Property from R-I0 Residential District to 1-1 Industrial District; and
WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of
land for various purposes through zoning and other land development legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantors acknowledge that the competing and sometimes
incompatible development of various types of uses conflict and that in order to permit
differing types of uses on and in the area of the Property and at the same time to recognize
the effects of change that will be created by the Grantors' proposed rezoning, certain
reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the community
that are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned are needed to resolve the situation
to which the Grantors' rezoning application gives rise; and
