AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Establishing an Employee Benefits Review Task Force
MEETINGDATE: October24,2006
0 Background: Benefits for City and Virginia Beach Public Schools employees
represent a significant portion of the City's operating budget. City Council would be
aided in making budgetary decisions if it was provided with an analysis that balances
the City's need to attract and retain a highly professional and competent work force with
the City's ability to financially support the cost of such benefits.
E Considerations: The Resolution creates an Employee Benefits Review Task
Force comprised of eleven members with extensive experience with employee benefits
and retirement plans. The Task Force will review current employee benefits and
compare them with benefits offered by other governmental entities and by private
businesses. The Task Force will then prepare recommendations regarding the most
appropriate package of employee benefits and shall report its findings to City Council no
later than February 1, 2007.
IN Public Information: The item is to be advertised in the normal manner of
agenda items.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance Authorizing The City Manager To Execute
a Lease Between Richmond 20MHz, LLC, d/b/a
NTELOS and the City for Certain Property to be Used
for Wireless Telecommunications Facilities
MEETING DATE: October 24, 2006
E Background: For approximately the last ten years, Richmond 20MHz, LLC,
d/b/a NTELOS (or its predecessor, PCS PrimeCo), has leased from a private party a
small site located at 2061 Chicory Street, an unimproved right-of-way running north
from Monet Drive, for purposes of maintaining a small building housing equipment used
in conjunction with a cell tower antenna located on a Dominion Virginia Power
transmission tower adjacent to the area to be leased. The site is not visible from any
improved street, and the City has no plans to improve Chicory Street. The City recently
acquired the property as part of the Southeastern Parkway & Greenbelt Project, and
NTELOS has requested that the City enter into a new lease with it to allow it to continue
to use the facilities.
The existing building and antenna were authorized by a conditional use permit
for the site granted by the City Council in 1998, and were constructed shortly thereafter.
E Considerations: The proposed lease is for the area on which the existing
equipment building is located, together with necessary access and maintenance
easements. Because the antenna itself is located on an existing Dominion transmission
tower, no lease is needed for the antenna. The only physical change to the site would
be the installation of continuous Category 1 landscaping to be planted around the
perimeter of the site and maintained in good condition at all times. No expansion or
relocation of any of NTELOS's facilities are contemplated or even allowed absent City
approval.
The proposed lease is for a term of five (5) years and may be renewed only by
mutual consent. For that reason, the proposed lease does not have to be the subject of
a bid process. During the term of the lease. no municipal use of the property, including
the construction of the Southeastern Parkway itself, is contemplated; for that reason, the
lease is a means of realizing income from the property that would not otherwise exist.
The proposed rent is $6,000 per year with annual increases of 3%, a
considerably greater amount than the nominal rent paid to the prior landlord. Other of
the material terms are set forth in the attached Summary of Material Terms.
0 Public Information: The public hearing on the proposed lease has been
advertised in accordance with applicable requirements of law.
0 Alternatives: The City Council may either approve or disapprove the proposed
lease. Given that (1) the proposed [eased area is small and not visible from any
improved street; (2) the site has been in use since approximately 1998 with no adverse
impact on City operations; (3) the sole change to the appearance of the site will be a
beneficial one (i.e., the addition of Category 1 landscaping); and (4) there is no other
potential use of the property until the construction of the Southeastern Parkway, which
will certainly not occur within the 5 -year term of the lease; and (5) the rent to be
received by the City provides income from the property not otherwise possible, the Staff
recommends approval of the lease.
0 Recommendations: Adoption of ordinance.
IN Attachments: Ordinance, Summary of Material Terms. A full copy of the lease
is available in the City Attorney's Office.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to authorize Temporary Encroachments into a portion of the
City right of way known as Indian River Road, by Indian River Woods
Homeowners Association, Inc., a Virginia non -stock corporation.
MEETING DATE: October 24, 2006
E Background:
Indian River Woods Homeowners Association (the "Association") requests
permission to maintain existing landscaping, an underground irrigation system,
and a portion of alence with brick columns, in a portion of the City's right of way
known as Indian River Road.
Landscaping and street trees were originally part of the Subdivision Construction
plans. The Association later requested that the City allow a variance to the street
trees in the subdivision. The variance was approved by the City and included an
allowance for landscaping along Indian River Road and at the entrance of the
subdivision. The original construction plans of April 11, 2002 showed a 6 -foot
landscaping easement along Indian River Road. The construction plans were
revised on January 31, 2005, to change the type of fence in the landscape
easement from vinyl to picket and brick columns. On both plans, the landscaping
was not in the right-of-way.
The Association, prior to finalizing the encroachment process, installed the
landscaping, an underground irrigation system, and a portion of a fence into the
City's right of way known as Indian River Road, and not within the 6 -foot
landscape easement. Now, the Association is requesting permission to maintain
the above referenced encroachments.
N Considerations:
City Staff has reviewed the requested encroachments and has recommended
approval of same, subject to certain conditions outlined in the Agreement.
In the past, Council has approved encroachments for landscaping and
underground irrigation systems for subdivision associations within the City rights
of way.
E Public Information:
Advertisement of City Council Agenda
0 Alternatives:
Approve the encroachments as presented, deny the encroachments, or add
conditions as desired by Council.
0 Recommendations:
Approve the request subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Transfer $1,218,456 in Additional Funds from the FY 2006-07 General
Fund Reserve for Contingencies to FY 2006-07 Operating Budget for Revenue
Reimbursements for Tax Exemption for the Elderly and Disabled to Fully Fund this
Program
MEETING DATE: October 24, 2006
0 Background: Since FY 1972-73, the City has offered real estate tax relief to qualified
elderly and/or disabled citizens. From the early inception of the program until FY 1998-99, the
City Council periodically increased the qualifying income thresholds to offset cost -of -living
adjustments to Social Security and. private pensions and prevent an erosion of tax relief. In FY
1998-99, Council raised the income and net worth thresholds in two stages and adopted a
policy to annually update these thresholds in the same manner used by the Social Security
Administration for determining the cost of living allowance payments to recipients. With
unusually strong growth in assessments, however, many seniors in the community desired
additional tax relief and, on May 6, 2003, the City Council formed the Senior Citizen Real Estate
Tax Relief Task Force to study the impact of rising real estate assessments on senior citizens.
As a result of input provided from the task force and other public dialogue, in FY 2004-05, the
City Council adopted a policy of adjusting the income thresholds annually by the average
increase in existing residential assessments until the City reaches the state threshold limit.
E Considerations: For FY 2006-07, more than 1,000 new senior or disabled citizens
enrolled in the tax relief program. The City now provides real estate tax relief to 5,532 senior or
disabled home owners. Because of strong growth in appreciation, the qualifying thresholds
were expanded. Collectively, these forces have resulted in unprecedented relief in the amount
of $9,621,149, which exceeded the budget estimate by $1,218,456.
A transfer of funds is necessary to address the budget shortfall. There are sufficient funds in
two reserve accounts that can serve as a source of funds for the transfer. Due in part to
department vacancies, the compensation reserve has a sufficient balance. Due to lower gas
prices, there are sufficient funds in the fuel reserve. Staff will closely monitor the gas usage and
prices to ensure adequate fuel reserves are maintained beyond the amounts appropriated in the
departmental budgets. As a result of these transfers, the balance in the compensation reserve
account will be $1,479,104, and the balance in the fuel reserve will be $390,772. The second
year of the City's biennium budget will be adjusted to reflect the higher anticipated program cost
for FY 2007-08.
N Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal council
agenda process.
0 Recommendations: Approve transfer of funds.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $29,353 from the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science
Center Foundation to the FY 2006-07 Operating Budget of the Department of Museums
and Cultural Arts to Provide Medical Care, Holding Facilities, and Transport for Live
Marine Animal Strandings
MEETING DATE: October 24, 2006
0 Background: The Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center Foundation has been
awarded a $100,000 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
through the John Prescott Marine Mammal Stranding Grant Program. This grant will enhance
the ability of the Foundation's mafine animal Stranding Response Program to provide medical
care, holding facilities and transport for live marine animal strandings. It will also improve the
Program's ability to evaluate strandings by improving carcass retrieval, necropsy, tissue
sampling, and animal storage and disposal techniques. The Foundation is required to provide
an in-kind match in personnel, services, supplies and equipment.
N Considerations: The Stranding Response Program is permitted by the NOAA Fisheries
Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the State as the agency to manage the marine
mammal stranding network and respond to marine mammal and sea turtle strandings in
Virginia. The Foundation will provide $29,353 from its NOAA grant to the City to fund one full-
time curator. The new position will be responsible for managing daily operations in the
program's stranding center, including the 75 -member (20,000 plus hours per year) volunteer
stranding response team, and will assist the senior scientist/program coordinator and the
veterinary medical staff in all aspects of stranding response.
The Department of Museums and Cultural Arts requests that one FTE be added to their FY
2006-07 budget. Since all salary and associated benefit costs will be reimbursed by the
Foundation, this request represents no cost to the Cily. This position remains dependent on
continued Foundation reimbursement. If this grant funding is not awarded in subsequent years,
the Foundation will either find alternative funding sources, or the position will terminate.
E Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal Council
agenda process.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $25,000 from the Virginia Department of
Conservation and Recreation to the Department of Planning and Community
Development's FY 2006-07 Operating Budget for the Restoration of Existing Riparian
Shoreline Buffers at Three School Sites, the Printing of an Educational Fact Sheet, and
the Installation of an Information Kiosk
MEETING DATE: October 24. 2006
0 Background: The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation has awarded
the City $25,000 to undertake the restoration of riparian buffers at three school sites (Lynnhaven
Middle, Brookwood Elementary and Plaza Elementary) located within the Lynnhaven River
watershed. The funds will enable an enhancement to the existing marginal riparian shoreline
buffers at each location. The restoration project consists of planting woody vegetation (trees
and shrubs), development and printing of an educational fact sheet, and installation of an
information kiosk at each location concerning the riparian buffer project. These funds will assist
the City in accomplishing the goal of alleviating the loss of buffer function in the Lynnhaven
River watershed and also provide an educational opportunity for citizens to observe restored
and enhanced buffer areas as demonstration projects.
The grant requires a local fund match of $12,100 and an in-kind match of $5,000 to be provided
by City staff and volunteers from the community. The matching funds are available within the
Department of Agriculture's FY 2006-07 Operating Budget. The Department of Agriculture
manages the City's Habitat Enhancement Committee Fund, which is supported by funds
generated by payment of civil penalty charges imposed by the Chesapeake Bay Preservation
Area Board for projects that have encroached upon or destroyed buffer areas protected under
the City's Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Ordinance. These funds are then appropriated
by City Council to the Department of Agriculture's Operating Budget and are available to provide
the match required by this grant.
N Considerations: The project provides an opportunity for enhancing recommendations
outlined in the City's Comprehensive Plan Natural Resources Plan concerning the Lynnhaven
River watershed. Incorporation of the project into the long-term recommendations for the
Lynnhaven River watershed additionally affords an opportunity to enhance environmental
restoration efforts currently being evaluated for the City by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
E Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal Council
agenda process.
N Recommendations: It is recommended that Council accept and appropriate the grant
award of $25,000 and transfer $12,100 from the Department of Agriculture's FY 2006-07
Operating Budget to the Department of Plan n ing-Environ menta I Management Center's FY
2006-07 Operating Budget for the cash match for this project.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $25,000 from the National Fish and Wildlife
Foundation to the Department of Planning and Community Development's FY 2006-07
Operating Budget for the Restoration of a Fish Habitat in the Stumpy Lake Natural Area
MEETING DATE: October 24,2006
. Background: Virginia Beach progressively has addressed a City strategy and priority
of long-term management of environmental resources located at and adjoining the City's
Stumpy Lake Natural Area. To assist in these efforts, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
has awarded the City $25,000 to install a fish passage for Stumpy Lake. The grant will fund a
package of improvements for the fish passage consisting of installation of a fish ladder at the
spillway located on the southeast side of Stumpy Lake, construction of a temporary visitor
observation area and interpretive signage, and the development of an information and
educational brochure concerning the fish passage project. The fish passage will allow for the
restoration of the passage of fish that spawn in fresh water and live their adult lives in salt water,
as well as migratory sport fish, such as shad and herring. Restoration of this passage will
increase potential spawning habitat for species that are under severe threat due to natural
habitat losses associated with coastal development. Installation of the fish passage will not
affect water levels in Stumpy Lake, as it is intended to be functional only in high water
conditions during the spawning season. Federal and state natural resource agencies have
agreed to partner with the City to help facilitate the successful implementation of this project.
The grant requires a local fund match of $20,000 to support this project, and an in-kind match of
$7,500 to be provided by City staff and volunteers from the Citizens for Stumpy Lake
Community Watershed Organization. The matching funds are available within the Department
of Planning-Environmental Management Center's FY 2006-07 Operating Budget.
. Considerations: This grant will allow the Department of Planning to incorporate this
project into the long-term recommendations for the Master Land Use & Management Plan the
Stumpy Lake Natural Area. This grant additionally affords an opportunity to enhance
ecotourism.
. Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal Council
agenda process.
. Recommendations: It is recommended that Council accept and appropriate the grant
award of $25,000.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of S & R Properties, L.L.C. for a Modification of Conditions for a
Conditional Use Permit (bingo hall) approved by City Council on January 26, 1999
and February 25, 2003. Property is located at 4933 Cleveland Street (GPIN
1477142343). DISTRICT 2 - KEMPSVILLE
MEETING DATE: October 24, 2006
. Background:
Application of S & R Properties, L.L.C. for a Modification of Use Permit Condition
Four pertaining to hours of operation for a bingo hall, approved by the City
Council on January 26, 1999 and as modified on February 25, 2003.
Considerations:
The applicant does not propose to change or modify the existing structure or
substantially change the use. Condition Four attached to the Use Permit does not
permit bingo on Saturday or Sunday. The applicant's request is to permit bingo
gaming on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and to eliminate gaming on Tuesday
and Thursday. Traffic in the vicinity is likely to be less on Saturday and Sunday
since uses in the area primarily operate during weekdays. Staff concludes that
this change in days will not have any negative impact on surrounding properties.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they
concluded the request was reasonable, the staff recommended approval, and
there was no opposition to the request.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0 to approve
this request with the following conditions:
1. All conditions with the exception of Number 4 attached to the Conditional Use
Permit granted by the City Council on February 25, 2003, shall remain in
affect.
2. Condition Number 4 of the February 25, 2003, Conditional Use Permit is
deleted and replaced with the following:
The Bingo Games shall be limited to two (2) "Sessions" per day on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday and no more than three (3) Sessions on Monday. The
first Monday Session must be a Midnight Session beginning at 12:01 a.m.
The playing of Bingo during the "Daytime Session" shall not commence prior

Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this
requested modification, as conditioned below.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as being within Strategic Growth Area (SGA) 4. The
West Pembroke Subarea of the larger SGA 4 comprises small commercial or industrial-related
businesses with outdoors storage, limited parking and few sidewalks. Land use recommendations for this
Subarea include a vertical mix of mid to high-rise residential uses, a variety of compatible higher value
non-residential uses such as office, retail, open space, entertainment, educational, and similar urban
activities. .
Evaluation:
The applicant does not propose to_change or modify the existing structure or substantially change the
use. At its simplest, the request is to permit bingo gaming on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and eliminate
gaming on Tuesday and Thursday. Traffic in the vicinity is likely to be less on Saturday and Sunday since
uses in the area primarily operate during weekdays; therefore, Staff does not feel that this change in days
will have any negative impact on surrounding properties.
CONDITIONS
1. All conditions with the exception of Number 4 attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted by the
City Council on February 25, 2003, shall remain in affect.
2. Condition Number 4 of the February 25, 2003, Conditional Use Permit is deleted and replaced with the
following:
The Bingo Games shall be limited to two (2) "Sessions" per day on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday and no more than three (3) Sessions on Monday. The first Monday Session must be
a Midnight Session beginning at 12:01 a.m. The playing of Bingo during the "Daytime
Session" shall not commence prior to 10:00 a.m. nor later than 3:30 p.m. The playing of Bingo
during the "Evening Session" shall not commence prior to 6:00 p.m.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances.

September 13, 2006
CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next item is agenda item 4. It is an application of S & R
Properties, L.L.c. for a Modification of Conditions on a Conditional Use Permit for a
bingo hall that was approved by City Council back in 1999, and again in February 2003.
It is located on property at 4933 Cleveland Street in the Kempsville District. Mr.
Bourdon?
=
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Ms. Anderson. Again, Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia Beach
attorney representing the applicant. We appreciate being on the consent agenda with this
minor modification to the proffers. I did try to contact, and I know you got a letter in this
morning. I left them a message, and I actually know one of the signers of that letter.
Obviously, they didn't understand what the application was; so, I left them a message to
explain that.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Is there any objection to this application being placed on consent?
Could you please come forward?
Laurie Pocock: My name is Laurie Pocock. I'm with South Coast Contractors.
Janice Anderson: Okay.
Laurie Pocock: Eddie, I don't know if you left that message for me?
Eddie Bourdon: I did.
Laurie Pocock: You did.
Janice Anderson: Would you like for us to drop this down on the consent agenda? 1'11
recall it, if you want to take a few minutes. Thank you very much.

Janice Anderson: I would like to go back to agenda item 4, S & R Properties, L.L.c.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Ms. Anderson. The businesswomen who came down today,
Ms. Pocock and Ms. Gwaltney, I left them a message, and I actually had the privilege of
representing Mr. Pocock's husband. They did not understand the application. They do
now. They appreciate the fact that changing the game from Tuesday and Thursday to
Saturday and Sunday - they agreed that it is better. They have no objection.
Janice Anderson: Okay. Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Is there any other objection to this
application being placed on the consent agenda? Therefore, Mr. Livas, would you please
review this application for us.
Henry Livas: This application is for a Modification of the Conditional Use Permit for a
bingo hall, approved by City Council on January 26, 1999 and modified February 23,
2003. As a result of the existing Use Permit, bingo gaming currently takes place on
Tuesday, Thursdays, Fridays and Mondays at 4933 Cleveland Street. The request before
us today is to permit bingo gaming on Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and
eliminate gaming on Tuesdays and Thursday. This change does not have any negative
impact on surrounding properties since the traffic from other activitiesin the area should
be less on Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, we recommend approval of this request.
=
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Livas. Mr. Chairman, I have a motion to approve the
following application. It is agenda item 4.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second?
Dorothy Wood: Second.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Checkered Flag Motor Car Company for a Modification of
Conditions for requests approved by City Council. Property is located at 5301
Virginia Beach Boulevard and 270 Clearfield Avenue (GPINs 1467666379;
1467662390). DISTRICT 2 - KEMPSVILLE
MEETING DATE: October 24, 2006
. Background:
Application of Checkered Flag Motor Car Company for a modification of the
conditions and proffers attached to Change of Zoning and Use Permit requests
for automobile sales at 5301 Virginia Beach Boulevard and 270 Clearfield
Avenue, approved by City Council in 2001, 2005, and 2006. The purpose of the
modification is to allow building additions and site improvements related to a new
master plan for the facility.
. Considerations:
The applicant is requesting modifications to both proffers and conditions of
previously approved applications for continuity with a new master plan for the
entire site. The applicant's current request will effectively supersede the previous
proffers and use permit conditions in accordance with a new plan presented in
the attached staff report.
The new master plan submitted with the current application depicts expansions
to existing buildings and parking modifications. These changes will occur in five
phases, as identified on the master plan. The design of the exterior building
elevations of the first two phases of expansions have been completed and
provided with this request.
The proposal is compatible with the adjacent properties. The exterior building
materials for the expansions proposed are similar to what has been used on the
existing buildings. The proposal is also consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's
land use polices for this area.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because this
request results in a comprehensive development plan for the site, the proposed
development will improve the aesthetics of the site and enhance its economic
viability, and there was no opposition to the request.

vehicles in and out the service bays.
5. All parking lot lighting shall be directed inward and shall not reflect toward the
adjacent properties and city streets. A photometric plan shall be submitted for

spaces and display areas must be clearly delineated on the final site plan.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: In the matter of closing, vacating and discontinuing a portion of that
certain street known as "15' X 50' PORTION OF ALLEY TO BE CLOSED" as
shown on that certain plat entitled "STREET CLOSURE PLAT PORTION OF 15'
ALLEY ADJACENT TO LOTS 3 & 15 BLOCK 20 CROAT AN BEACH M.B. 24 P. 37,
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA"
MEETING DATE: October 24, 2006
. Background:
Application of John H. & Jennifer M. Neumann for the closure, discontinuance
and abandonment of an alley located between Lots 3 and 15, in Block 20,
Croatan Beach at 664 South Atlantic Avenue. DISTRICT 6 - BEACH
. Considerations:
The applicant requests the closure, discontinuance and abandonment of an
unimproved alley so they may incorporate the right-of-way into their adjoining
residential lots. This portion of the alley was the subject of a street closure
request on March 23, 1981. The request was to accommodate a septic system
and drain fields for future development of the adjacent lots. The request was
denied and an encroachment agreement was executed. City water and sewer
are available to the lots, thus eliminating the need for a septic system and drain
fields. There have been several street closure requests granted along the subject
alleyway during the past fifteen years. The zoning history map in the attached
staff report identifies the specific properties that were granted street closures for
the alleyway.
The portion of the alley requested for closure is one of the few remaining City-
owned portions of the alleyway along this block. The Viewers have determined
that the proposed closure will not result in a public inconvenience; therefore, they
recommend closure of the right-of-way. City Council has adopted a policy aimed
at disposing of undeveloped right-of-ways to adjoining property owners in the
Croatan community. All funds generated from such closures are directed to a
Croatan Beach Access account and ultimately the funds collected are to be used
by the City to purchase additional public access to the beach in the Croatan area.
The proposed street closure is recommended for approval.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
Viewers recommended approval, there was no opposition, and the request would
enable the applicant to combine Lots 3 and 15.
John H. & Jennifer M. Neumann
Page 2 of 2
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0 to approve
this request with the following conditions:
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding
ownership of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City
shall be determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's
Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.
Copies of the policy are available in the Planning Department.
2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the closed area into the adjoining parcels. The plat must be
submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure approval.
3. The applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-way
proposed for closure. Preliminary comments from the utility companies
indicate that there are no private utilities within the right-of-way proposed for
closure. If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility
company must be provided.
4. Closure of the right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the
conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not
approved within one year of the City Council vote to close the right-of-way this
approval shall be considered null and void.

John H. & Jennifer M. Neumann
Closure,- discontinuance and abandonment of alley between
Lots 3 & 15,664 South Atlantic Avenue
District 6
Beach
September 13,2006
CONSENT
Janice Anderson: We'll move on to the next item, which is agenda item 5. That is an
application of John H. & Jennifer M. Neumann. This is an application for a closure,
discontinuance of an alley between Lots 3 and 15 on 664 South Atlantic Avenue in the
Croatan neighborhood in the Beach District. I believe this is Mr. Bourdon's application
also.
Barry Knight: We can proceed.
Janice Anderson: That is placed on the consent agenda with four conditions. Is there any
opposition to this item being placed on the consent agenda? We will have Jay Bernas, if
he could review this application.
Jay Bernas: This is an application for a street closure. There are numerous alleyways in
the Croatan subdivision. The City Council has adopted a policy within the Croatan
subdivision to dispose of these undeveloped rights-of-way in this area to adjoining
property owners. The purpose of this street closure is so the applicant can join the two
adjacent lots. They own the lots to the east and west of the proposed street closure. They
would like to close that street and incorporate the two lots into one. So, therefore, the
Commission has requested that this be placed on the consent agenda for approval.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Jay. Mr. Chairman, I have a motion to approve the
following application. It is agenda item 5.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second?
Dorothy Wood: Second.
Barry Knight: There is a second by Dot Wood. I'll call for the question.

ReqQetltaeceiY84: City of Virginia Beach Planning commission Routing
Slip dated 25 May 2006 (Routed 19 June 2006)..
Propo8eCll'z'cdec:t.: Conditional Use permit Application for use of 2~.66
acres and Lots 3 and 4. for a Firewood Preparation Facility and mulch
processing.
~. oceanside Enterprises. Inc. proposes a faciJ.ity for
firewood preparation and mulch processing at 3848 North LanCi"g Road.
Existing zoning is AG-2 AgriCUltural. The Conditional Use Pexmit
Application identifies the hours of o.peration would be 9 a.m. to 5
p.lll. and there would be one "to three employees. A site plan attached ~
to the application showS a Hulch Processing Area. Nursery Area,
Firewood Processing and Equipment Storage Area. Tool Storage Area and
a Vegetable Stand/Parking Area.
Beri._ oE ltest:rictlve Ea8elll8lltC.): Review of Navy'S records
identifies the proposed si,te being considered for deveJ.opment to be
Parcels 2121A/B. Records show the united States acquired certain
rights over parcels 212/A/B through Grant of Easement dated 7 January
1981 recorded in Deed Book 2082. Page i04, in the Clerk'S office of
the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, copy attached.
In reviewing the easement restrictions contained in Paragraph 2 .d. .
there is no restriction that woul.d prohibit the firewood preparation
and mulch processing facility with related storage and the nursery;
however, Paragraph 2.d.prohibits retails sales. except as an auxiliary
function of enteI1)rises permitted. The sale of finished firewood and
mulch is not considered an auxiliary function of the use permitted.
rather it is the retail sale of the end product of the use pexmitted
and therefore would not be allowed. Further. the vegetable stand
woul.d not be a110wed on the property, as it is not an auxi.1iary
function of the uses allowed.
CaDc1l1aiCllll: Based on the information provided by Oceanside
EnteI1)rises, Ine. in the Conditional Use Pexmit Application attached
to the City of Virginia Beach's Planning commission'S Routing SUp and
the above-described restrictive easement owned by the United States
over Parcel 2121A/B, the proposed use for the Firewood preparation and
Hulch Processing Facility with related storage is found to be in
compliance and therefore allowed; however. the retail saJ.es of
firewood, mulch or vegetables would not be permitted.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Virginia Beach Investment Company for a Conditional Use
Permit for a mini warehouse/self storage facility on property located at 1025
College Park Boulevard (GPIN 1456221655). DISTRICT 1 - CENTERVILLE
MEETING DATE: October 24, 2006
. Background:
Application of Virginia Beach Investment Company for a Conditional Use Permit
for a self-storage facility on property located at 1025 College Park Boulevard.
. Considerations:
The applicant proposes to develop two enclosed, internally-accessed, three-story
self-storage facilities on the site. It is the intent of the applicant to develop the
60,000 square foot buildings in two phases.
The two buildings will be similar in design. The exterior will be a painted split-
faced block wall on the base up to the second floor. An Exterior Insulation Finish
System (EIFS) is used to create a repeat pattern of archways along this block
wall. The detailed "corner towers" and main entrance are capped with standing
seam metal roofing accents.
The hours of operation will be Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM until 6:00 PM,
with Sunday hours from 12:00 noon until 6:00 PM. There will be four (4) full-time
employees on site. Customers will have keyed access during the hours of
operation. On-site management and securitY will be available 24 hours a day.
The proposed use is located between a stable neighborhood of single-family
homes and townhouses and two small shopping centers. Thus, this site is
'transitional' between commercial and residential uses. The Comprehensive Plan
comments that where residential and commercial uses adjoin one another, the
preferred land use relationship should reflect higher density residential and lower
intensity commercial uses. Staff concludes that the proposal accomplishes this
through the internalized nature of the storage units and the enhanced level of
detail for the exterior of the buildings
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they
concluded it would be a good transitional use between the commercial and
residential developments, staff recommended approval, and there was no
opposition.

residential dwellings, or any other purpose not consistent with the storage of goods.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
Comprehensive Plan:
This site is located in a Primary Residential Area. The Comprehensive Plan Policy document supports
the suburban characteristics of commercial centers and other non-residential areas for this area. The
Plan states that "limited commercial or institutional activities providing desired goods or services to
residential neighborhoods may be considered acceptable uses on the edge of established neighborhoods
provided effective measures are taken to ensure compatibility and non-proliferation of such activities,"
(pg. 91).
Evaluation:
The proposed use is located between a stable neighborhood of single-family homes and townhouses and
two small shopping centers. Thus: this site is 'transitional' between commercial and residential uses. The
Comprehensive Plan notes that where residential and commercial uses adjoin one another, the preferred
land use relationship should reflect higher density residential and lower intensity commercial uses.
The initial impression of the proposed buildings is complementary to the surrounding neighborhood. The
enhanced level of detail for the exterior of the buildings does not suggest mini-storage facilities. Staff
supports the request with the following conditions.
CONDITIONS
1. The site and landscaping shall be developed in substantial conformance with the submitted site plan
entitled "Preliminary Site Plan of College Park Self-Storage Virginia Beach, Virginia" prepared by NDI,
L.L.C. Basgier and Associates Division, dated 6/01/06.
2. The building elevations shall be substantially in conformance with the submitted elevations entitled
"Exterior Building Elevations" prepared by Dimensional Designs, Inc., dated 6-13-06.
3. The architectural design elements and exterior building materials shall be substantially in conformance
with the submitted colored renderings of the proposed building viewed from along Providence Road.
4. The installation of chain-link fence shall not be permitted on the site.
5. There shall be no electric or diesel powered generators or generators fueled by any other source of
energy located outside of any building.
6. The storage units shall be used only for storage of non-hazardous goods.
7. The units shall not be used for office purposes, band rehearsals, residential dwellings or any other
purpose not consistent with the storage of goods.

Item #7
Virginia Beach Investment Company
Conditional Use Permit
1025 College Park Boulevard
District 1
Centerville
September 13,2006
CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next item is agenda item 7_ It is an application of Virginia Beach
Investment Company. This is for a Conditional Use Permit for a mini-warehouse and
self-storage located on property at 1025 College Park Boulevard in the Centerville
District. Is there a representative on this matter? We1come.
Bill Berger: Good afternoon: I'm Bill Berger. I'm a general partner with Virginia Beach
Investment Company. We understand the conditions that were presented with the
application, and certainly will agree to those conditions. I also attended the earlier
meeting with the review. I understand there was some concern with reference to the
colors that were suggested at the time. We're willing to work with the Planning
Commission prior to Council to redirect color selections.
~
Janice Anderson: Great. Thank you Mr. Berger. We appreciate that. Is there any
opposition to this application being put on the consent agenda? Thank you Mr. Berger.
Mr. Gene Crabtree will review this item for us.
Eugene Crabtree: This is a request for a mini storage over on Providence Road in the
College Park area. It is to be a three-story, self-storage facility that is climate controlled.
Climate controlled facilities are the going things now in the City of Virginia Beach for
people who are renting storage units. This will fit very well with that. The site is in a
Primary Residential Area, but it is an area that the Comprehensive Plan recommends for
commercial centers and other non-residential uses. It also is a transitional use between
the commercial and residential uses in this area. This particular building will be
complementary to the neighborhood. As the gentleman said, the only concern of the
Planning Commission was the actual colors that had been selected on the elevations. I
can say I worked right in the building right next to that one time and looking out at that
vacant lot over there, this will be a great improvement on looking out the window of the
office building at the vacant lot. So, therefore, we put it on consent agenda.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Crabtree. Mr. Chairman, I have a motion to approve
the following application. It is agenda item 7.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second?
Dorothy Wood: Second.

Attorney R. J. Nutter, 222 Central Park Avenue, Phone; 687-7500, represented the applicant, and
requested DEFERRAL, to add an additional proffer re access to this Parcel be routed so construction
traffic does not go through the bulk of Lago Mar. The neighborhood will be relieved from the
"one- way-in" and "one-way-out".
Bill Van Deusen, 2341 Santa Fe Dive, Phone; 889-4195, registered in OPPOSITON, and advised if
Lago Mar Associates extends Nimmo Parkway from Albuquerque to Atwoodtown/Artesia and
opens Artesia on the north end to Nimmo Parkway, the majority of the Lago Mar residents will have no
objection to this request. Said statement is hereby made a part of the record.
Charles Meyer, Chief Operating Officer, referenced the map developed with the Cost Participation
Agreement with Lago Mar Associates encoumpassing the various routes re extension of Nimmo
Parkway.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Lago Mar Associates, L.L.C. - Change of Zoning District Classification, 801
Artesia Way (DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE)
MEETING DATE: October 24, 2006
. Background:
Application of Lago Mar Associates, L.L.C. for a Chanae of Zonina District
Classification from B-1 Neighborhood Business District to Conditional R-15
Residential District on property located at the Northwest intersection of Artesia
Way and Nimmo Parkway, and addressed as 801 Artesia Way (GPIN
2424133283). DISTRICT 7 - PRINCESS ANNE
This application was deferred by the City Council on September 26, 2006 and
October 10, 2006. After the October 10 meeting, the applicant submitted a new
proffer (# 4) that addressed how construction vehicles will access the site:
At the time of development, Grantor shall ensure that no construction
traffic related to its development shall use Entrada Drive, north of Camino
Real.
. Considerations:
The applicant proposes to rezone a 3.3 acre parcel, currently zoned B-1
Business District to R-15 Residential District, for the development of seven (7)
lots for single-family dwellings. A cul-de-sac connected to Artesia Way will
provide access for the new lots.
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendations for this area. The proposed conditional rezoning will replace
an incompatible commercial zoning with a residential zoning that is
complementary to the adjacent and established residential neighborhood in
terms of use, density and housing design, all of which are proffered. The
rezoning eliminates the opportunity for any commercial business to operate
within this strictly residential setting. Staff views this rezoning as a benefit and
improvement to the orderly development of this neighborhood.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
request is compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhoods, eliminates
the potential for a by-right commercial use on the property, staff recommended
approval, and there was no opposition.

Mr. Maynard?
Jeff Maynard: Thank you Ms. Anderson. Members of the Planning Commission, my
name is Jeff Maynard, for the record, and on behalf of Lago Mar Associates, I have
reviewed and agree with the proffers submitted with the application.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
~
Jeff Maynard: Thanks.
Janice Anderson: Is there any opposition to this application? The Chairman has asked
Mr. Henley to review this application.
AI Henley: Thank you. The application proposes to rezone a 3.312 acre parcel, zonied
B-1 Business District for the development of seven (7) lots for single-family dwellings.
A cul-de-sac connected to Artesia Way will provide access to the new lots. The parcel is
located within the Southern Watersheds Management Area, and the AICUZ is less than
65 dB. Planning staff recommends approval on this, and therefore the Planning
Commission also recommends consent on this particular item.

Dear Madam Mayor and Members of City Council:
On behalf of Salem Road Associates, L.L.C., I formally request that the above
referenced application which appears on this evening's City Council agenda be
deferred for two weeks until your public hearing on Tuesday, October 24, 2006.
Based on conversations that my esteemed co-counsel, Mr. Morris Fine and I have

an equitable resolution to this 3+ year odyssey and financial nightmare that these
property owners have endured.
Sincerely,

(b) Application of Salem Road Associates, LLC for a Subdivision Variance
(flag lots) on property located on the east side of Salem Road,
approximately 700 feet south of Landstown Road (GPIN 1484-31-0664; -
30-8994; 41-0190). This request was indefinitely deferred by the City
Council on March 23, 2004 under the name Va-Car Development, LLC.
DISTRICT 7 -- PRINCESS ANNE.
The City Council deferred this item at the October 10, 2006 meeting.
. Considerations:
This application was originally submitted under the name of VA-CAR
Development, Inc., and was a request for a rezoning to R-20 Residential with a
Conditional Use Permit for an Open Space Promotion. The Open Space
Promotion option was repealed by the City Council in 2004 to comply with
revisions to the State Code; therefore, the application has been modified to a R-
10 Residential District.
The original application was deferred by the Planning Commission on December
10, 2003. On February 11, 2004, the Planning Commission unanimously passed
a motion to recommend approval of the proposal, finding the proposal to be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's policies for the Transition Area
(Princess Anne) that were current at that time.

The applications were then heard by the City Council, on March 23, 2004, and
were- indefinitely deferred at that time. The purpose of the deferral was to allow
time for the completion of the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS). The applications
continued in a state of deferral while the JLUS was completed and adopted and
while the City Council determined the response to the Base Realignment and
Closure Commission's (BRAC's) order regarding the continuation of NAS
Oceana as a Master Jet Base.
Included with the package of plans, policies, and ordinances adopted by the City
Council on December 20, 2005 in response to the BRAC order were
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. A component of
those amendments established the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA) within the
Transition Area (Princess Anne), providing regulations for residential
development in that area. The attached staff report provides evaluation of the
proposal under these provisions, since they supersede the policies for the
Transition Area (Princess Anne) in place at the time staff previously evaluated
the proposal in 2003.
The applicant proposes to rezone these parcels for the purpose of subdividing
the property into 28 single-family home lots. The lots range in size from 12,158
square feet to 17,776 square feet. There are two flag lots proposed (Lots 6 and
7) that do not meet the lot width requirement of 100 feet. A Subdivision Variance
application has been submitted for those lots. There are 14.44 acres of open
space provided in ponds, wetlands and open area (51 percent of the property).
The home lots are concentrated on the northern and southern ends of the
property with a large open space area in the middle of the property. There are
trails shown on the plan meandering through the open space area and
connecting to the streets in the two housing areas. The lots have been arranged
in groups of no more than five contiguous lots.
. Recommendations:
The applicant's proposal does not comply with the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendations pertaining to dwelling unit density within the Interfacility Traffic
Area (ITA). The proposed development site is located within a 70 to 75 dB
AICUZ, and thus, per the Comprehensive Plan and Section 1806{a) of the City
Zoning Ordinance, is allowed a density of one (1) dwelling unit per five (5) acres
of developable land, which, in this case, is (5) dwelling units.
Therefore, since the density far exceeds that allowed within the ITA for the 70 to
75 dB AICUZ, staff cannot support this application. Instead, staff recommends
that the City seek to acquire the parcels involved in this application, as provided
for by the "Interfacility Traffic Area Property Acquisition Plan," adopted by the City
Council on December 20,2005. Staff has been in discussion with the applicant
concerning acquisition of the site and appraisals have been done; however, no
agreement has been reached.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant proposes to rezone these parcels, currently zoned AG-1 and AG-2 Agriculture (ITA-
Interfacility Traffic Area), to R-10 Residential District (ITA - Interfacility Traffic Area) for the purpose of
subdividing the property into 28 single-family home lots. The lots range in size from 12,158 square feet to
17,776 square feet. There are two flag lots proposed that do not meet the lot width requirement of 100
feet. A Subdivision Variance application has been submitted for those lots. There are 14.44 acres of open
space provided in ponds, wetlands and open area (51 percent of the property).
The home lots are concentrated on the northern and southern ends of the property with a large open
space area in the middle of the property. There are trails shown on the plan meandering through the
open space area and connecting to the streets in the two housing areas. The lots have been arranged in
groups of no more than five contiguous lots. All of the home lots with the exception of Lot 21 on the
southern side of the property are adjacent to some open space. The plan shows two future road
connections for undeveloped property to the east and a roadside buffer of 100 feet adjacent to Salem
Road. -
All of the nontidal wetlands on the site are shown to be preserved within the open space areas. The open
space area is wooded; however, it is not a mature forest. It is the intent of the applicant to leave the
majority of the open space in it's present wooded state and to provide small grassed parkland areas with
benches in several locations along the trail.

are no "City-defined" wetlands present on the site.
AICUZ:
The site is in an AICUZ of 70 to 75 dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana.
The United States Navy reviewed this development proposal and in a
letter to staff from Capt. P. J. Lorge, dated September 11, 2006,
comments that
"As recognized in the 'Statement of Understanding,' a supporting
document to the 'Joint Land Use Study,' the [ITA] 'is largely
undeveloped and thus presents the best opportunity to prevent, to
the greatest degree possible, further incompatible encroachment'
on Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana. . . . Therefore, I must express
the most strenuous objection to this proposal. . . . This property
should be considered for a compatible use or acquisition, utilizing
the 'Inter-facility Traffic Area Acquisition Plan,' adopted by Virginia
Beach City Council on December 20, 2005."
The complete text of the letter is included at the end of this report.
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Salem
Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a two lane undivided minor suburban arterial. It is
designated on the Master Transportation Plan as a 100 foot wide right-of-way divided with a multi-use
trail and scenic easement. The Departments of Public Works and Planning have completed a corridor
study and are developing an alignment for Salem Road based on a relocated 150-foot wide right-of-
way. The preliminary alignment shows Salem Road relocated to the east of this site and does not
impact this proposal.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Staff recommends denial of this
application. The proposal is contrary to the policies of the Comprehensive Plan for the Interfacility Traffic
Area (ITA), as further elaborated on in the "Evaluation" section below. Staff also recommends that the
City seek to acquire the parcels involved in this application, as provided for by the "Interfacility Traffic
Area Property Acquisition Plan," adopted by the City Council on December 20,2005.
Comprehensive Plan:
The subject site is located in the Transition Area (Princess Anne) and in the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA).
The land use planning policies and principles for this area strongly focus on promoting this area as a well-
planned, low density, fiscally sound and desirable destination for people to live, work and play. Proposed
development within this area must demonstrate adherence to Plan's guidelines for the Transition Area
(Princess Anne), creating a development that provides more than half of the site acreage in open space
and recreational uses upon which the development is focused.
The Plan notes the following regarding properties located within the ITA:
The ITA is subject to a high volume of military jet traffic between NAS Oceana and ALF Fentress
and the City recognizes the importance of incorporating appropriate planning policies for this
area, consistent with the approved JLUS provision, as follows:
. Within the ITA, noise zone 75+ DNL - retain the agricultural zoning of one residential lot
per 15 acres of developable land.
· Within the ITA, noise zone 70 to 75+ DNL - density of residential development should not
exceed one lot per five acres of developable land, depending upon the degree to which
each development proposal meets the City's defined criteria.
SALEM ROAGASSOCIATES
October 10, 2006 City Couocil
Page 4
. Within the ITA, noise zones less than 70 DNL, density of residential development should
not exceed one lot per acre of developable land, depending upon the degree to which
each development proposal meets the City's defined criteria, (p. 142-A, Policy
Document).
Evaluation:
As noted at the outset of this report, the original applications for a change of zoning and accompanying
use permit were initially evaluated by staff in 2003 under the Comprehensive Plan policies then in place.
Under those policies, the proposal was deemed acceptable and recommended for approval. However,
much has changed in the past three years in regard to land use in the city and its relationship to air flight
operations at NAS Oceana. One of the areas where the change is most prominent is the western portion
of the Transition Area (Princess Anne), which lies beneath the path of jets flying between NAS Oceana
and NALF Fentress. Thus, the policy of the Comprehensive Plan for this area as provided above. The
protection of this corridor, the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA), is so critical that the Comprehensive Plan's
recommended restrictions on dwelling unit density for the area were codified in Section 1806(a) of the
City Zoning Ordinance, adopted concurrently with the Comprehensive Plan provision above on December
20, 2005:
Subject to the provisions of section 405 (Alternative Residential Development in Agricultural
Districts), single-family residential development in agricultural districts shall be permitted as a
conditional use at the following density in that portion of the Princess Anne/Transition Area
designated as "Interfacility Traffic Area" on the official zoning map.
Noise Zone
70-75 dB DNL:
>75 dB DNL:
The applicant's proposal does not comply with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations pertaining to
dwelling unit density within the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA). The proposed development site is located
within a 70 to 75 dB AICUZ, and thus, per the Comprehensive Plan, is allowed a density of one (1)
dwelling unit per five (5) acres of developable land. Thus, under this provision, this 28.1-acre site is
allowed five (5) dwelling units.
Therefore, since the density far exceeds that allowed within the ITA for the 70 to 75 dB AICUZ, staff
cannot support this application. Instead, staff recommends that the City seek to acquire the parcels
involved in this application, as provided for by the "Interfacility Traffic Area Property Acquisition Plan,"
adopted by the City Council on December 20, 2005.

Dear I>Ir. White: =tANNING DEPARlMeN
Thank you for your letter and proposed site plan by Salem
Road Associates in which they seek a change in zoning from.
AG-l/AG-2 District to R-10 Residential District for property
located on Salem Road. Their planned twenty-eight home
subdivision, called Bel Horizon, lies within the 70-75 decibel
(dB) day-night average (DNL) noise zone and in an area known as
the Inter-facility Traffic Area (ITFA). The Navy's Air
Installation Compatible Use Zone Program provides that
residential uses are not compatible inside the 70-75 dB DNL.
As recognized in the "Statement of Understanding," a
supporting document to the "Joint Land Use Study", theITFA "is
largely undeveloped and thus presents the best opportunity to
preve..""lt. to the greatest degree possible, further incompatible
encroachment" on Naval Air Station {NAS} Oceana. The concern is
single event noise impacts related to the arrival and departure
of cactical. jet aircraft on established flight tracks southwest
of HAS Oceana and protecting that part of the city recognized as
critical to the future long-term operational viability.
Therefore, I must express the most strenuous objection to
this proposal as the Navy disagrees with exposing future
reside.""lts to the impacts of our operations with incompatible
development. This property should be considered for a
compatible use or acquisition, utilizing the "Inter-facility
Traffic Area Acquisition Plan," adopted by Virginia Beach City
Council on December 15, 2005. Additionally, on June 27, 2006,
City Council adopted a resolution reaffirming the city'S plan
for compliance with the Base Realignment and Closure
Commission's decision regarding NAS Oceana. This resolution
adopted in .Ju..'I1e 2006, implies the city's commitment to the
ordinances adopted since December 2005, that supports NAB Ocea."l.a
and includes the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance and Inter-facility
Traffic Area Acquisition Plan.
l-lystaff and I are prepared to discuss this matter with
city staff or representati-..res of Salem Road Associates. If you
have any questions, please contact my co~~nity Plar4'11ing Liaison
Officer, Mr. Ray Firenze at (757) 433-3158.

Eddie Bourdon: For the record, Eddie Bourdon, a Virginia Beach attorney representing
the applicant. You all heard from me on this application back in December when the
application was deferred for the issues that were addressed by City Council last night. I
will just bring up that there was some comment about this possibly being on the consent
agenda back then. The Council, as you know last night approved the Interim Guidelines
and this application, like a number of other ones that in this case has been in the process
since November 2002 is to be moved based on our current Comprehensive Plan adopted
in December, which this is consistent with as well as the prior Comprehensive Plan
which was in place when this was begun as well as the TAT AC Committee
recommendations for the Princess Anne area, which as your staff has properly noted that
this applications complies with those recommendations and those requirements. The
property is an assemblage of four pieces of property. They were at one point under
separate ownership. The application was originally filed by a different entity then is the
one that has bought and is before us today. That is actually a lady has acquired three
parcels as an assemblage. This entity after buying them from her during the tenancy of
the application has acquired another piece of property, all for the purpose of bettering the
application. I think the assemblage of the property is a big benefit here. The other thing
is this property is south of North Landstown Road and Salem Road. On Salem Road, in
an area that is very much a rural residential stretch of Salem Road. There are a number
of houses in place along this stretch of Salem Road in excess of 20 homes. And, the one
thing that I also want to point out to you is the Master Transportation Plan shows Salem
Road ultimately being relocated, realigned behind this property. I think there would be
some improvements to this portion of Salem Road ultimately, but this would really wind
up in all likelihood being a residential cul-de-sac, a residential street when and it's a
number and number of years off when Salem Road is relocated and widened. Because of
the nature of this area as being a lot of homes along here, the way we laid this subdivision
out is sensitive to those existing homes that front on Salem Road in that we have set the
homes well back from Salem Road so we don't have a situation with the houses that face
Item #19,20 & 21
VA-CAR Development, L.L.C.
Page 2
Salem Road having houses next to them backing up to Salem Road. We got the very
significant buffer wherein it's a 100-foot buffer, wherein we also got to place the storm
water BMPs, which will fit in well in terms of the aesthetics. The homes will be well
spaced and they won't have homes real close to each other and again backs to fronts. The
proposed subdivision is 28 lots on a total of 28 acres that are all developable acres in the
City of Virginia Beach ordinances. The lots have been clustered up in the northern
section and the southern section so again the lots are adjacent to Open Space. We've also
left Open Space adjacent to the existing residents as wells. We got a trail system with
benches in an area that will remain forested although its not a real mature forested area at
this point but it will over time it will become so. We've also provided future potential
accesses both the Open Space where we adjoin this property, which someday will likely
be developed. Also a street extension accesses because it's important to remember as I
mentioned before, when and if and when is the question and not if, Salem Road is
developed behind this property _and this becomes just a residential street, the benefit of
not having development on these properties and having to access the new Salem Road,
which will be a four lane divided and be able to be using this residential collector's feed,
which it will be at the point in time, is from a long range perspective, a very good
planning tool and a benefit down the road so we can limit access to the major
thoroughfare. And given the large number of homes that front on this section of Salem
Road, the idea of relocating Salem Road in the future when it's widened makes a whole
lot of sense in a lot of different ways with the traffic movement standpoint and also in
terms of not impacting all these homes in this area along Salem Road. The staff
evaluation, I think is on point in every way. This applicant has met with the staff and
moved through the process deliberately and have done everything that I think anyone has
asked ofthem and recently asked of them. The issue as you are all well aware is and has
been at least over the course of the last few months is the Navy's adoption of and I
believe they're the only service that has adopted the DOD recommended change in the
AICUZ Compatibility Table that was done by career bureaucrat up in the Pentagon. I
went through all this last night. The bottom line is that City Council has clearly indicated
that these applications that are in accordance with all of our ordinances, our
Comprehensive Plan and our precedence should be moved through and those that are
pending as this one has been under those precedence and under that Comprehensive Plan.
The staffhas recommended approval in accordance there with. All the homes are in the
70-74 Ldn noise zone under the 1999 AICUZ map, which we are using as a planning tool
and a planning guide. And, under that map and the guidance that existed with regard to
what was compatible or conditionally compatible residential in this area and the noise
construction techniques are required under ordinances in effect in the City that was
adopted back in 1994 at the request of the Department ofthe Navy. As a result, we
believe the application and as your staffhas recommended, is one that is deserving of
approval. I would also mention that in the year 2000, the Department ofthe Navy did an
actual noise contour map based on actual base operations. Remember the 1999 map was
a project map and the 2000, actual base operations map under those noise contours, this
piece of property is not in any high noise zone. It is below 65 LOO, and based upon that
fact as well, as all the other issues that I've discussed, and which I think you all are very
familiar with because they have been widely discussed by this body and this application
Item #19,20 & 21

is deserving, in our estimation, of your recommendation for approval, just as the staff has
also recommended approval. I'll be happy to answer any questions.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon?
Ronald Ripley: Eddie, can you point out and you mentioned the open space that is
adjacent to existing houses, can you point to those areas? It's not real clear.
Eddie Bourdon: There are houses along here. This is all open space. There are houses
here and this is open space. There is open space adjacent to a house there. I believe there
is a house on one of these two lots that this is adjacent to. Our lots are adjoined to
another piece of property and this one does, but this is all open space area. The house is
up here. A portion of that lot adjoins an area that is open. We have not put houses up
against other people's houses j~st open space. Similarly, we got open space all along our
borders. The only place we don't have open space along our boundaries again, is this
little spot here. This spot here and this spot where these lots adjoin a very large drainage
ditch. Then you got houses in here and that is where we got open space adjacent to
where those homes are located. No lots abut those lots where those houses.
Ronald Ripley: The land to, I guess the east, is that mostly farmland?
Eddie Bourdon: It's farmland. Yes sir.
Ronald Ripley: Farmland. Okay. On your trail system, is that trail system something
that will be open to the public or restricted to the neighborhood or what?
Eddie Bourdon: The trail system will have a public use easement on the entire property.
Ronald Ripley: Would that include equestrian too?
Eddie Bourdon: I don't know if we designed the trail for equestrian use but if that is
something that is desired, I am confident that the applicant would have no adversion to
making sure that was effective.
Ronald Ripley: That keeps popping up. It may be a goal of the Transition area.
Eddie Bourdon: I think in this area along Salem Road it may well be a situation where
that's necessary. There is no resistance to putting the trail in so that it meets whatever
requirements the City Councilor this body or Planning Department wants in terms of a
private trail. The idea is just to provide for public access for whatever uses we think are
needed.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Din?
William Din: Can you clarify the AICUZ for me again? Our write up says the site is in a
70-75 dbl.

VA.-CAR Development, L.L.c.

Eddie Bourdon: Under the 1999 AICUZ map that we are operating under as our planning
tool, this property is under the 70-75 Ldn. That is correct. What I said in addition to that
is that 1999 map, which we're operating under and under that map and the guidance that
went along with in terms to what's compatible. Residential land use, is it compatible or
conditionally compatible land use? In the year 2000, the Navy in reply to a lawsuit
prepared and had done an actual on the ground AICUZ, not the word they use, had noise
contours based on actual base operations modeled based on what's actually happening.
Those contours and Council has seen the maps and the City, has got the maps. I don't
know if you all have them on the PowerPoint today but those maps show contours of
actual base operations where this property is not and a lot of properties are not under
those high noise levels. In other words, those actual base operation contours are far
smaller than the ones we are using under our zoning ordinance. Making this presentation
for the purposes of necessarily arguing that those maps need to be changed but that is an
issue that is going to be out there for discussion. The other interesting part of the whole
scenario is that when the Super Hornet decision and lets bring the Super Hornets here to
Virginia Beach, there was all this conversation and discussion about them being louder
than what we currently had here. And, as part of the environmental impact study
statements to bring them here, those impacts were projected on computer. The baseline
for making those projected determinations as to what the increase impact would be, the
baseline is the 2000 Operations Map, not the 1999 map that we're using as a planning
tool. And, those maps that show the projected impact ofthe louder planes that are part of
the environmental impact study to bring the Super Hornets here, do in fact show a greater
impact than is shown on the 2000 base operations map but in fact is a smaller footprint of
noise contours. Smaller area encompassed by high noise zones even after they are here
then what we're operating under as our 1999 AICUZ map. That's the real interesting
dilemma. The planes are louder but what we are dealing with is that we've already put
more land 26,000 acres under our AICUZ program by adopting the 1999 projected map
than those impacts actually exist. I gather there is another issue that is now bothersome
from the Navy's perspective based on the conversation and discussion last night and that
is single event noise. We have nothing in any of our ordinances. We have nothing
anywhere that deals with single event noise. I guess that is something of an evolving
process that may be addressed as time moves forward. Based on the laws, the plans, and
situation, this is not new to any of us. The City has been dealing with this since the
1970s. The City has done, in my estimation everything that could reasonably be expected
and exactly earnestly and forth rightly in trying to work through all these issues and
trying to provide notice to the public as to what was transpiring and try to protect
everyone's interest. It is unfortunate that we've been placed in this position because no
one at NAS Oceana and they're wonderful people knew anything about this change
before it took place. Obviously, no one here in our City government or any of our
political leaders or property owners knew anything about it either. That is all what we've
been struggling with for a number of months.
Eugene Crabtree: Eddie, I have one question. We're talking about the noise and all but in
looking at this I don't see anything on our maps that tell me anything about the flight
paths in relationship to the runways between Fentress and Oceana. Am I to understand
Item #19,20 & 21
VA.-CAR Development, L.L.C.
Page 5
that this property sits offto the side or do the direct flightpath between Fentress and
Oceana or is it in the direct flight path? I'm interested in accidents.
Eddie Bourdon: It is not in an accident potential zone under any map at any point in time
that I've ever seen promulgated. It is in the, and if you look at the noise corridors, it is
between Oceana and Fentress.
Eugene Crabtree: I know that. The flight paths and do the planes go directly over this
property or do they go to one side or the other of it normally in their flight paths?
Eddie Bourdon: Based on the testimony of last night it was agreed by all parties that the
planes don't fly in one straight line. They're all over.
Eugene Crabtree: I know that.
Eddie Bourdon: It is clearly in the general flight path but I don't there is specifically. We
go right over this property between Oceana and Fentress. There's no denying that fact.
There is five miles from the runway at Oceana and it's approximately three miles from
Fentress in Chesapeake. If you look at the contours, the contours are based on where the
flights take place and it's absolutely in as all these neighborhoods that I heard them
talking about last night, that are very close to here to Indian River Road that have all been
approved, rezoned, built and are in the process of being built that are in the same exact
flight path that are in the same exact noise zone where you got three units per acre and
you got hundreds and hundreds of houses. So, the answer is in the corridor between
Fentress and Oceana. I don't think anyone would suggest that every plane could even fly
the same exact line. There was a lot of testimony last night. Ifwe could put the bigger
map on this property is relatively close.
Eugene Crabtree: That is what I was looking at.
Eddie Bourdon: It is relatively close to the property that was approved last night. I'm
fairly certain that this is Indian River Road. I believe the property is basically in this area
down here to be off the map. It is not far as the crow lies as from the property that was
before the City Council last night.
Eugene Crabtree: I want to know how the plane flies.
Eddie Bourdon: According to the people who live out there and there was a lot of
testimony last night, the noise impacts here are really, in their estimation, not very
significant at all because planes are well in the air when their in this area.
Eugene Crabtree: Noise won't take lives but a crash will.
Eddie Bourdon: It's not in close proximately. It's three miles from Fentress and five
miles from Oceana. It's not in close proximately to the runways. It's not even close to
being in any crash zones.

DorothyW ood: Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: I would suggest and I don't know if this is an appropriate place to do it
but maybe after everybody testifies that Mr. Scott, possibly review the policies that were
adopted last night by City Council. That's the policy under which we're reviewing this
particular application. We're reviewing this application under the current
Comprehensive Plan. This application was filed prior to entering into discussions with
the Navy and it's been on the books for a long time so this is different then what's going
to be happening in an interim policy basis until the joint land use study is completed.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks Ron.
Ronald Ripley: So, I think Mr. Scott can go through that.
-
Dorothy Wood: Would you like that?
Ronald Ripley: I don't know if you want to do it now or want to it later.
Dorothy Wood: Well, he did it this morning.
Robert Scott: It's very brief. The City Council appointed a special task force to achieve
certain things regarding the AICUZ Program. One of the things that they were tasked to
do is to come up with some interim policies for how to deal with matters just like this.
What do we with applications as they come in? The task force did make a
recommendation and sent it to the City Council. The City Council accepted that
recommendation in a form of a resolution last night. Here is what the recommendation
said. Now, you may like it or may not like. You may agree with it and you not agree
with it but this is what it says. There are two parts to it. The first part says, "if an
application was filed prior to February 3," which this application was, and it should be
moved forward and decided on its merits based upon basically the Comprehensive Plan.
And then it goes on with another section that does not apply here because the question is
has part number one been answered. Part number 2 would say and it says a lot of things.
But, had this application not been filed prior to February 3, 2004, the policy would have
recommended because it's in a noise zone over 70 decibels in the 1999 map, that it be
deferred until the joint landing studies is complete. But Part 1 rules in this case and part
1 rules says, because it was filed prior to February 3, 2004 we should go forward and
decide it on its merits. The City Council adopted that by resolution last night.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Scott.
Eddie Bourdon: I failed to mention and I appreciate the opportunity to mention it before
I sit down again and that is in the high noise zones under the 1999 AICUZ map, there are
a total of well over 20,000 homes wherein close to 100,000 people reside. There are
thousands of hotel, and time shared units also that are now non-compatible under the new
guidance. And, all totaled these 28 homes would be a less than a tenth of one percent of
the total number units, timeshare, hotel/motel and residential that are in the high noise
Item #19,20 & 21
VA.-CAR Development, L.L.C.
Page 7
zone that are now with a unilateral change in policy that is only applicable, as I
understand it to just the Navy level that would be non-conforming. So, my friends from
CCAJN are here today. The idea that approving 28 homes, which is a tenth of a percent
of the number of homes that are already in there that are non-conforming based on this
one change that were previously conforming isn't going to cause Oceana to no longer
exist.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Is there any discussion? We have opposition?
I bet we do.
Joseph Strange: Bobby Rountree.
Dorothy Wood: Welcome Mr. Rountree. I'm sorry I almost forgot to call up on you.
-
Bobby Rountree: I would like to do that.
Dorothy Wood: I saw you. Thank you for coming down and waiting all day.
Bobby Rountree: Congratulations on your new position.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Bobby Rountree: Commission, Mr. Scott, Ms. Wilson, good afternoon. My name is
Bobby Rountree, Executive Director for Regional Air Operations, which include NAS
Oceana and Fentress. I am here today on behalf of Captain Keeley, who is unable to
attend and who is the Commanding Officer ofNAS Oceana. I would like to start off with
a few facts. The Transition Area Technical Advisory Commission (TATAC), and it has
been said in other public forums that the Navy was a partner in TAT AC' s development of
the Transition Area Guidelines. The Navy's only involvement was to sit in the audience
and to observe. No interaction was requested of or provided by the Navy. The Navy's
opposition to continued development in the Transition Area is not a result of the updated
OPNA V Instruction but it's about the health, safety and welfare of future residents who
will be impacted by the large numbers of very loud, single event noise operations where
the majority of our flight tracks are located. The Virginia Beach AICUZ Task Force
Interim Guidelines, which Mr. Scott read to us, it governs the applications for land
development in AICUZ zones adopted last night by Council. The Navy had no seat at the
table, nor any ability to voice concerns as those guidelines were revised after the Navy
and staff developed a mutually agreed upon draft guidelines. I'm here on behalf of the
Navy and probably more important, on behalf ofthe future residents of this community
that do not have the ability to speak out with regard to the high single event noise they
will be subjected too. I am speaking in opposition to this planned development by V A-
CAR Development. The site is located, as you see on the depiction, five miles southwest
of Oceana and three miles north ofNLF Fentress in the 70 to 75 decibel day/night
average noise zone. This site is directly aligned with NAS Oceana Runway 5, one of
busiest runways. There are several key flight tracks that aircraft use to navigate to and
from Fentress at Oceana that concern us as they should concern you. In 2003, Runway 5
Item #19,20 & 21
VA.-CAR Development, L.L.C.
Page 8
accounted for 42 percent of 20 1,000 flight operations. Aircraft on approach to NAS
Oceana Runway 5 conduct straight-in instrumental approaches, overhead arrivals, inter-
facility traffic within NAS Oceana/Fentress as well as Runway 23 departures that would
impact this subdivision.
Ed Weeden: Mr. Rountree, you're just about out of time.
Bobby Rountree: One flight track alone had 6,600 flight operations with decibels of 108
db's and F-18 Super Hornets would be a 114 db's. We ask that you please consider our
concerns on your way to a final decision. We view further development in this area as
incompatible and new encroachment upon the Navy's and Joint Forces Operational
Mission ofNAS Oceana. In closing, Captain Keeley wanted me to advise you that he has
re~ently been told that NAS Oceana is number one on the Department of Defense list of
installations when it comes to e~croachment. He also added that we did not get there
through any "so called" partnership with the City and the Navy.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you Mr. Rountree. Are there any questions for Mr. Rountree?
Ronald Ripley: I've got a question. Mr. Rountree, were you at the meeting when these
Interim Guidelines were worked on?
Bobby Rountree: No, I was not. Captain Keeley was there, and our Community Liaison
Planner, Mr. Ray Firenze was there.
Ronald Ripley: I was there. I'm one of the five that's on the Committee. Captain
Keeley was there and Oceana had responded to the initial draft that Planning Department
had prepared. It was pretty close to the same thing that the Planning Department had
presented with the exception that it addressed flight paths, which is not defined
anywhere. All that we had to deal with is AICUZ. That was the reason why the
resolution deals with AICUZ's and not flight paths, because it was not defined. So it was
real clear. As far as asking the Navy to the table, it maybe was asked to the table. They
chose to sit and didn't want to come to the table, I would think, or they wanted to and
they sat on the side and they were asked if you have any comments about the draft that
we're proposing? And they said, "Not at this time." So, there was interaction there. The
letter may be construed differently. I think there was interaction. I just wanted to put
that on the record because every effort to cooperate has been made. I think Mr. Scott and
his staff worked pretty hard with the Navy and the Navy worked pretty hard with them
trying to work it out. Hopefully, what we came up with made some sense. Now perhaps
the guidelines that were operating on right now you don't agree with and maybe you
don't agree with the Interim Guidelines. I don't know, but I think there has been a lot of
effort to work that out. I know I spent three hours over here in that meeting just in that
by itself. I don't know how many hours Mr. Scott spent on the proposal, but I imagine
you spent some pretty good time. But all that is appreciated. I just want to put that on
the record.

Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is there anyone else for Mr. Rountree? Thanks Bobby,
appreciate you coming.
Eugene Crabtree: Bobby, I'm going to ask you again similar to what I asked Eddie.
Now, looking at your map here, it looks like we got some direct flight lines that are going
over this proposed development. They are a little ways up from the actual dropping
down into the landing pattern. Are they not?
Bobby Rountree: Mr. Crabtree, this is the final approach course to Runway 5 at Oceana.
This is the pattern at Fentress.
Eugene Crabtree: Okay.
Bobby Rountree: What you dov.'t see is there are several tracks that go between here to
final Runway 5. IfI take off of Fentress Runway 5, and it's five in the morning, I'm
going to go a little left turn, climb to 1,000 feet, leave my landing gear and flaps down,
produce a 108 decibels and I'm going to fly right up here and I'm going to go be right up
there and get lined up on this runway and I'm going to right in the near vicinity of this
property.
Eugene Crabtree: When do you start dropping down in order to set down on the runway?
Bobby Rountree: The descent will probably occur approximately in this area right here.
Eugene Crabtree: Okay, so right about the edge of the property? Right?
Bobby Rountree: No sir, it would be over the property. It would be past the property. It
would north east of this property were talking about.
Eugene Crabtree: Just a little bit past that where the actual drop down occurs?
Bobby Rountree: Out of that 1,000 foot, I'm going from Fentress to Oceana. There are
several other flight tracks that ifI'm coming back from Whiskey 72, which is off the
coast of North Carolina, I'm going to fly right over here and make a turn again to line up
and come right here. Like I said, there are several flight tracks between these two blue
lines but we just decided to give you a swath of tracks not depiction.
Eugene Crabtree: I'm just in my mind just trying to determine where the greatest
accident potential would occur and if it occurs, if this noise is the problem over the
property but the accident potential is closest to the runway. It makes a difference in my
mind.
Bobby Rountree: The actual accident potential zones as defined by guidelines, this is at
APZ 1, up here, at APZ 2 comes out to here. This is APZ 1 & 2 down here at Fentress.
Item #19,20 & 21
VA-CAR Development, L.L.C.
Page 10
Eugene Crabtree: So, basically this piece of property really is outside of our accident
potential zone as we have it defined at the present moment. Am I correct?
Bobby Rountree: Correct. Not in APZ.
Dorothy Wood: Thanks Mr. Rountree. We appreciate you coming down. Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: I appreciate that. If you look at the existing APZ' s, and I understand the
new maps will change slightly but in terms ofthe impact of APZ's on this piece of
property. There isn't any. It's about as centrally located away from the APZ's as you
can get. It is on the outside of those lines. Again, the single ~vent noise issue and there
is no doubt and I'm not here to sit there and argue that there won't be some noise but I
think it is quite apparent for a lot of different reasons that people in Virginia Beach do in
fact, have any problem with jet _noise. There are so many very expensive homes and those
in the moderate price range that sell as soon as you put them on the market even though
they are in a high noise zone that's the 20 something thousand homes I've talked about
earlier. There is no difference in their marketability or their prices because they're in
noise zones. And, one thing that I wanted to comment on is that Bobby mentioned is that
he was here speaking on behalf of future residents. The City of Virginia Beach adopted
quite a number of years ago at the recommendation of the Navy ordinance changes that
require all contracts on all new homes and the sale of existing homes to have notification
in there about the noise level that they're in. So, anyone buying a home in Virginia
Beach, Oceana's existence is no secret. Every effort has been made that can reasonably
can be made that I can even conceive of to make sure that they're on notice about the fact
that they are in a noise zone. You have to be really out there not to know if you bought a
house here that you're going to have some noise impact. But that noise impact is
minimal from my perspective. I live in a high noise zone as do quite a number of other
people. It's something you don't have a problem with at all. The number one
encroachment list that was referred to and I will guarantee you that Oceana was never on
any encroachment list under the guidelines and compatibility tables that existed prior to
this change. So, that just confirms what I said numerous times that if Oceana' s in peril, it
has been imperiled by the change that made all these three and half billion dollars worth
of real estate in Virginia Beach that's in those high noise zones now non-compatible.
Dorothy Wood: Thank Eddie. We appreciate it.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you.
Dorothy Wood: Are there any other questions for Mr. Bourdon? Is there any discussion?
Do I hear a motion?
Ronald Ripley: Do you want discussion?
Dorothy Wood: I asked for any discussion.
Ronald Ripley: I'll discuss.
Item #19,20 & 21
VA.-CAR Development, L.L.C.
Page 11
Dorothy Wood: Good.
Ronald Ripley: Just keep in mind that this is being considered under the current
Comprehensive Plan. To me, it classically fits within the Comprehensive Plan. I think
the plan is a good plan. I think the plan itself, the way it's laid out with the open space
and the way they've managed to clustered the housing so that it looks like there is no
more than five that are clustered together at anyone spot. The trail system and looking at
the matrix and the City went through it and scored fairly high in those areas also. Given
that and the proffers that have been presented that will ensure that the houses are nice
houses, if you will and a pretty nice size. We're looking at 2810ts here. The AICUZ
issue and it is in the AICUZ as most all the transition but it's in an AICUZ zone that's
central to the two bases. It's not really peculiar based on other development that has been
put into the area. I'm going to support it.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. Is there further discussion? Do we have a motion then?
I'm sorry, Jan
Janice Anderson: I'm just going to state that I'm agreeing with Ron. I think it is almost
picture perfect from what they have for the Transition Area so far as 51 percent, connect
ability with the roads to any other projects they may have, the trails system, the
clustering, all those items. And, I think with following the direction of the temporary to
consider this on it's merits, I think I would approve it. I would make a motion to approve
it with the conditions.
Ronald Ripley: I'll second it.
Eugene Crabtree: Dot. I have one thing I want to say before we go. I agree that the plan
itself and the layout with the 28 homes. The vision is outstanding in the way it's
designed and everything. And, of course, I'm very much concerned with the planes and
where they go. However, since this appears to be outside the actual accident potential
zone, the noise doesn't bother me near as much as accident potential. It does bother me
that somewhere in the future someone will complain to the noise as some of residents
have done in the past even though they live in the noise area. I like the actual
development. Since it is outside the accident potential areas, I think I'll support it. If it
were inside the accident potential areas, I'd probably be against it.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you. We have a motion and a second. Is the vote open?

ROAD ASSOCIATES, L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company, Grantor; and THE CITY
OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Grantee.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Grantor is the owner of three (3) certain parcels of property located in
the Princess Anne District of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, containing approximately
28.1 acres and described as "Parcel One", "Parcel Two" and "Parcel Three" in Exhibit "A"
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Said parcels are herein referred to
as the "Properql';and
. WHEREAS, the Grantor 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 Classifications of the Property from AG-l and AG-2 to Conditional R-I0 Residential
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 Grantor acknowledges that competing and sometimes incompatible
uses conflict and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the Property and
at the same time to recognize the effects of change, and the need for various types of uses,
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 cope with

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Chesapeake Atlantic, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from 1-1 Light Industrial District and R-10 Residential District to
Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial District on property located at 173 & 177 South
Birdneck Road and 1228 Jenson Drive (GPINs 2417426802; 2417427931;
24173267690006). DISTRICT 6 - BEACH
MEETING DATE: October 24,2006
. Background:
Application of Chesapeake Atlantic, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from 1-1 Light Industrial District and R-10 Residential District to
Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial District on property located at 173 & 177 South
Birdneck Road and 1228 Jenson Drive, for the purpose of developing office-
warehouse units.
. Considerations:
The submitted plan depicts a drive aisle with parking spaces running through the
site between Birdneck Road and Jensen Drive. The plan shows one building to
the north of the parking and drive aisle. The building is divided into nine office-
warehouse units, containing a total of 31,167 square feet of floor area devoted to
warehouse use and 6,875 square feet of floor area devoted to office use. The
proposed buildings will be, according to the site plan, a maximum of 35 feet in
height. The submitted rendering depicts a building with an exterior finish of
Exterior Insulating Finish System (EIFS) and split-face block. The main access
point for each unit is emphasized through the use of a glass and EIFS design
element that features a pediment-style detail at the top, reaching beyond the
height of the main building. Overhead garage doors punctuate the fa<;ade,
providing access to the warehouse units.
The proposal provides a use that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendations for this area. The proposal is compatible with the uses within
the adjacent industrial center and is well-buffered from the adjacent residential
area. The United States Navy owns an easement over the property that restricts
the development of the site to only those uses that are compatible with the
highest AICUZ and APZ. The requested zoning change will result in development
of the site consistent with those restrictions.
There was opposition to the request.

APPLICATION HISTORY: The Planning Commission deferred this application at the July 12 hearing to give
the applicant the opportunity to consider comments and suggestions provided by area residents and
commission members.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing 1-1 Light
Industrial and R-10 Residential District properties to a
Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial for office-warehouse use. The submitted plan depicts a drive aisle with
parking spaces running through the site between Birdneck Road and Jensen Road. The plan shows one
building to the north of the drive aisle and parking. The building is divided into nine office-warehouse
units, containing a total of 31,167 square feet of floor area devoted to warehouse use and 6,875 square
feet of floor area devoted to office use. The proposed buildings will be, according to the site plan, a
maximum of 35 feet in height. The submitted rendering depicts a building with an exterior finish of Exterior
Insulating Finish System (EIFS) and split-face block. The main access point for each unit is emphasized
through the use of a glass and EIFS design element that features a pediment-style detail at the top,
reaching beyond the height of the main building. Overhead garage doors punctuate the faqade, providing
access to the warehouse units.
The applicant had opposition to this request at the July Planning Commission Hearing. At that time the
applicant was requested to revise their proposal to relocate the office warehouse building further away
from the adjacent residential. The applicant revised the plan as shown on the submitted proposal. The

STORMWATER: No comments at this time.
WATER: This site must connect to city water. There is a 12 inch water main in South Birdneck Road fronting
the site. -
SEWER: This site must connect to City sanitary sewer. There are two 8 inch sanitary sewer mains in South
Birdneck Road fronting the site. The two existing sanitary sewer mains in Birdneck Road will be replaced with
a new 8" sanitary sewer main with the VDOT Roadway Project. Consultant must verify that sanitary sewer is of
sufficient depth to serve proposed building configuration. Sanitary sewer calculations and pump station
analysis for Pump Station 119 is required to determine if projected flows can be accommodated.
FIRE: No comments at this time. Review of the site plan will occur during the Development Service Center
process.
POLICE (CPTED): The applicant shall provide a photometric plan for DSC site plan review. All lighting shall
be consistent with those standards recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America.
Use of wall packs on the front of the building will not be considered appropriate lighting for the parking area.
Glare and light trespass onto adjacent residential homes shall be avoided.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers, which are provided below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as being within the Primary Residential Area; however, the
site is also located on the periphery of Strategic Growth Area 8 - East Oceana Area. Due to the location
this area within a high AICUZ and within or in close proximity to an Accident Potential Zone, the
Comprehensive Plan suggests that the area is "suitable for low-rise, light industrial uses and limited
retail." The Plan also stresses that the site design, building design and uses are compatible with the
surrounding uses, particularly if residential use is present.
Evaluation:
The proposal provides a use that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this
area. The proposal is compatible with the uses within the adjacent industrial center and is well-buffered
from the adjacent residential area. The United States Navy owns an easement that restricts the
development of the site to only those uses that are compatible with the highest AICUZ and APZ. The
requested zoning change will result in development of the site consistent with those restrictions.
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

"Proposed Office/ Warehouse for Chesapeake Atlantic, LLC", undated prepared by EYG Architects, PC
which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach
Department of Planning (hereafter "Rendering").
PROFFER 3:
The use of the Property shall be only office / warehouse.
PROFFER 4:
Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed Site Plan review and administration of
applicable City Codes by all cognizant City Agencies and departments to meet all applicable City Code
requirements.
STAFF COMMENTS: The proffers listed above are acceptable as they dictate the level of quality of the
project.

Change of Zoning District Classification
173 & 177 Birdneck Road and 1228 Jensen Drive
District 6
Beach
September 13,2006
REGULAR
Barry Knight: Mr. Secretary, the next item?
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 17, Chesapeake Atlantic, L.L.C. An application of
Chesapeake Atlantic, L.L.c. for a Change of Zoning District Classification from I-I Light
Industrial District and R-lO Resjdential District to Conditional 1-1 Light Industrial
District on property located at 173 & 177 South Birdneck and 1228 Jensen Drive, District
6, Beach, with four proffers.
Barry Knight: Welcome Mr. Fine.
==
Morris Fine: Members of the Commission, I'm Morris Fine, an attorney, and I represent
Chesapeake Atlantic, L.L.c. This matter, deferred from a hearing, I believe in July, in
speaking to people who oppose the rezoning. Since that time, I think, Bishop
Thoroughgood, who was opposed to it, has been contacted on this application, and he has
communicated to Karen Prochilo that he has withdrawn any opposition. What has
happened was that since the last hearing, the plans have been revised so that the industrial
development part is actually going to be on the presently zoned I-I.
Barry Knight: You can pull up your laser if you want to Mr. Fine?
Morris Fine: The actual development is going to be on the I-I, where the developer
would have the right to develop it in anyway. And the portion that's R-10, which is
residential, is going to be used for access to Birdneck Road from the industrial
office/warehouse development. The opposition, who is a gentleman who is here to voice
his opposition today, indicates to me that he lives in a house there that opposes it. But
what has happened is that there is a buffer there, there is going to be a 25 foot landscaped
buffer adjacent to his property and beyond, and on the south side of the buffer will be a
BMP, so there will be an additional buffer before you get to the road access. I think in
the write up by the staff planner, Ms. Prochilo, she said the submitted plan depicts a drive
aisle with parking spaces running through the site between Birdneck Road and Jensen
Road. It seems to me that it is a good plan. There has been an adjustment to
accommodate the existing residential user. If this came before you for zoning for
residential, you would not zone it for residential. It is in the very highest noise zone, and
the Navy would be here opposing it. So, it seems to me we are eliminating residential
zoning on Birdneck, and we're using the industrial the way it is already zoned. It is
r

probably a win-win combination, and I suggest to you that this is a good use, and has
been approved by staff. The staff has gone over a number of times. I will be happy to
answer any questions that you might have.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions for Mr. Fine? Ms. Anderson?
Janice Anderson: Mr. Fine, since it was deferred last time, you did push back the
development?
Morris Pine: Yes ma'am.
Janice Anderson: It appears to me that there is one portion of one building that might be
in the R-lO. Is that an office?
Morris Fine: I am told by Mr. Perry, who is the engineer, who is here, that it is behind the
line of the industrial zone. Is that not correct Mr. Perry?
Janice Anderson: It looks like it is pretty close, if it is not.
Barry Knight: Welcome Mike. Please identify yourself.
=
Morris Pine: This is Mike Perry.
Mike Perry: For the record, my name is Mike Perry. I work with MSA, land planner. If
you go back to the zoning (looking at zoning map), the line here (pointing to map), that is
your zoning line.
Janice Anderson: Right.
Mike Perry: So that building is right on that zoning line. We did push it back.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Mr. Fine or Mr. Perry? Thank you sir.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have Nathaniel Ford, Jr., representing the
Seatack community.
Barry Knight: We1come sir.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Good afternoon. Nathaniel Ford, speaking in opposition. Mr. Fine
was saying that the property line was back but it is not. The residential line is up a little
further. The residential line comes right here (pointing to zoning map). The property line
that he is proposing is bringing stuff right beyond the residential line. Our problem is
=

this. When we voted back in July, the Commission voted, it was a deadlock. Mr. Fine
represented, and they said, "listen and let's get together and talk to you all". The
community, along with Bishop Thoroughgood said see if you can get a win-win situation,
and I said that is okay. I said keep us informed. Let us know, so we can sit down and talk
and find out what we can do to work it out. They didn't keep their part of the bargain.
They didn't meet with us. They didn't sit down with the community. We really didn't
have a voice. The voters didn't have a voice whatsoever. They put their plans together,
and they mailed the plans to us on what they wanted to do or how they wanted it to have
them done. What about the members of the community and our voice? We still agreed
back in July when it came in a deadlock. They didn't meet with us and talk with us to
find out what was best for everyone,"and we wouldn't have any reservation, but they
didn't do that. Also, we were concerned about this. There is an opening on Birdneck
Road here. It still creates a problem. Because we have an opening right up here coming
off of Jensen Drive that allows traffic to go both ways to come here. That traffic coming
back out here where the plans open up. The traffic comes out here (using Powerpoint).
We have a problem. There is no way the traffic can go up this way, so we have to come
back down here to Birdneck, and bottle up traffic here to get back out and go that way.
But they have the opening here, going through Jensen Drive. Why have the traffic come
back here and go back out Jensen Drive. If they are going to use this area, they can use it
as a one-way only coming in, not to bottle up traffic both ways. Our second concern was
this. They agreed to meet with us and yet they still move this property line. Here is the
properly line, and they are still moving those buildings across to the residential line. If
they are going to stay behind the residential line, then fine, I have no problem with that.
We agreed to that, but they never would meet with us and agree with that. We spoke with
them out front, and that is what they say they would do. Also, we are concerned about
what is going on with the old house that is sitting behind this that is condemned and had
asbestos on the roof and had asbestos on the side. How are they planning on doing away
with that so the asbestos doesn't affect the people in the community. They had some
grief there.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions for Mr. Ford? Ms. Anderson.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Yes, Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Mr. Ford, are you the gentleman that resides at the
property right next door?
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Yes, I am.
Janice Anderson: Okay. Thank you. I thought I remembered.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Ripley.
Ronald Ripley: Your residence is located just to the north of the development.

Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: This is not a true picture of our home. We did an addition to the
home. The back of the home actually stops right here (pointing to zoning map), and we
did like a 3,000 addition added to the house. It stops right here. That is one of our main
concerns was that we have no privacy for all these big warehouses stacked on top of us.
My backyard goes all the way back here. This is the residential line that we put in place
years ago when Mr. Jensen first brought the property and he came to own the property.
The second thing is that they didn't put any hours of operation for this place. We need to
have some time of operation. We don't need another 24/7 on top of it. We have enough
noise now coming to Jensen Drive, trucks and cars, all times of night. People back there
banging a hammer. Also, he is talking about putting up a hedge fence, which he is
planning to put here. Also, he needs to put in some sort of 7 to 8 foot wooden fence, a
brick wall, because we have people constantly going through the yards, who work back
there, and they are picking up stuff that doesn't belong to them. So, if you're going to put
more stuff back there, you're creating more problems.
Barry Knight: Are there any more questions for Mr. Ford? Mr. Livas?
Henry Livas: They talked about a 25 foot landscaped buffer. Would you comment on
that? Is that beneficial as far as your location is concerned?
=
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: The 25-foot buffer is beneficial if they put a fence as well to keep
those people working from walking through. There are only trees and flowerbeds. We
have a problem there with people walking through the yards and taking stuff, and picking
up stuff, and doing stuff. So, the buffer is okay as long as they put a fence as well as a
buffer to maintain security inside of the community.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Mr. Ford? Dr. White, if you could go
back to the zone map please? We see where it is I-I and R-lO.
Stephen White: Yes.
Barry Knight: And, Mr. Ford, this is our zoning map, and you made reference to a
residential line that was somewhat further behind that, and Mr. White, could you clarify
that?
Stephen White: I'm sort of confused as you are as to what Mr. Ford was pointing to
because the line for the 1-1 and R -10 is where he is presently right now. That is the
zoning line.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Because my property stops right here. They told me that was it for
residential property because the rest of the property used to belong to my mother. She
sold it to me for commercial property, and during that time, they told her that this was the
residential line right here (pointing to zoning map).

Barry Knight: Do you have any other comments Mr. White?
Stephen White: No.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: It appears that, if I'm not mistaken that the back portion of Mr. Ford's
property is 1-1. Am I reading that map right?
Stephen White: A very small back portion.
Janice Anderson: That very small back portion.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: How many feet is that though? Because what I want to know is if
they are planning to stay in the 1-1 zone, then they need to give us a description of what
the foot should not be beyond that 1-1 and not come beyond that I-I. Because according
to this map, even where they got the residential line here and commercial line, they are
still beyond, far beyond the commercial line back into the residential line, according to
this. If my property line stops here, they are way up here.
=
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Ford? Thank you sir.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Thank you.
Barry Knight: There is no other opposition. No other speakers.
Barry Knight: Okay. Mr. Fine? Mr. Perry or both?
Morris Fine: I must say that I tried to get in touch with Bishop Thoroughgood, who I
understood was the spokesman. I called him ten times and I wrote him several letters.
Mr. Ford comes today, and I think he is misinformed that, and by all accounts as to where
the zoning is, and that seems to be what he is talking about. It seems to me that with this
buffer that he will not be affected at all. A 25 foot landscaped buffer on Birdneck is
substantial plus we have the BMP. It seems to me that we need this exit out there on to
Birdneck because you may have emergency vehicles coming and going, and it is not
going to be that big of an impact to go through there. The staff has gone through all of
this and they feel that they can recommend it to you. They discussed these issues, and we
met with the staff, and Mr. Perry has done an account of the engineering that satisfies all
of the objections.
Barry Knight: Mr. Fine? We have a question from Ms. Wood.
Dorothy Wood: Mr. Fine, would you be willing to put a fence up by his property sir?

Morris Fine: I am sure, Ms. Wood, we would do that. We could make that a condition.
Dorothy Wood: We would make it a condition that a fence was there. And, also what are
the hours of operation? He was also concerned with that. I understand that it is in the
proffers somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
Morris Fine: What the development is as to build and sell as condos these office-
warehouses, so I don't what know what. Mr. Ashman, who is here, who owns one there
now on Jensen Drive, he can tell you probably what the hours of operation are. Ijust
don't know. This is Tim Ashman, who is a principal of Chesapeake Atlantic, L.L.C. Mr.
Ashman, Ms. Wood asked what the hours of operation were in there? Do you have any
idea?
Tim Ashman: Yes. I do. Normally, the businesses back on Jensen Drive get going about
7:30 in the morning and stop anywhere from 5:00 to 6:00 in the evening. Those are the
normal hours of business. So, I would say 7:00 to 7:00 would be the normal.
Dorothy Wood: You would be willing to put that in as a condition? Will it make it
easier, I think for your neighbors?
= Tim Ashman: Sure.
Barry Knight: Mr. Strange.
Joseph Strange: Each of them is going to be individually owned. Are you going to be
able to speak for each one of these owners that you're going to sell to? What do you
mean by hours of operation?
Morris Fine: Mr. Strange, if you put a condition on it then they would have to abide to it
subject to the condition. So, I don't think that would be a problem.
Barry Knight: Mr. Macali.
Bill Macali: Keep in mind that this is a Conditional Rezoning, so you just can't add
conditions. It would have to be added as part of the proffers.
Morris Fine: We can do it.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: This is just a discussion on the hours. The problem with the fence, I
think that should be appropriate since that is his residential zoning, but I'm not in favor of
putting any kind of hours restriction on because it is being developed in the industrial

section of the property. I think they state what the normal hours are, but I don't know if I
would support it with the hours since it is undeveloped in the industrial zoning.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: This will be warehouse/condominiums/office warehouse?
Tim Ashman: Office warehouse. Yes sir.
Ronald Ripley: Do you anticipate most of your purchasers to be occupants?
Tim Ashman: We do. We hope to have, and I have a business on Jensen Drive right now.
Were in the manufacturing business. We of course hope that our business will grow so
that we are able to occupy some of it as well. So, we just don't know at this point. We
may lease and or sell parts of it but we haven't got to that point yet.
Ronald Ripley: Tim, no pre-sales at this point?
Tim Ashman: No. No pre-sales.
Ronald Ripley: Okay.
=
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Bernas?
Jay Bernas: Can you address the opposition's concern about the entrance onto Birdneck
as opposed to coming back throughout the development.
Tim Ashman: If I understand his concern. I always have. We want to be good
neighbors. We really do. But I feellike that it is a natural flow of the shape of the
property. It would literally be so difficult for anything to turn around within that area.
Any kind of delivery truck or pick-up vehicle to turn around, whereas, if you're able to
come in and then go out, it creates a much better flow. I don't know if you have
experience being back in the park where there is a lot of congestion and trucks and cars
can't turn around, but literally, people go onto other people's property, and they go over
the curbs and they hit other cars, and things like that. I just think from a flow perspective
of a project that it makes sense.
Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: If I understand right, I think you just clarified the point. ITs I
understand right, you're going to plan to come in from of Birdneck Road with a right
hand turn and exit the back of the property, so we're not talking about making a right
hand turn onto Birdneck Road, out of your property, and going down to the next
intersection and making a u-turn?

Morris Fine: I think we would want to use.
Eugene Crabtree: Your entrance is going to be a two-way entrance.
Morris Fine: Two way.
Eugene Crabtree: Because you just said something about difficulty in turning around, and
the flow would go to the property and exit on the back of the property, and would circle
around and go back to the other neighborhood as the gentleman with opposition so stated,
as Mr. Ford stated.
Tim Ashman: For large trucks that would certainly be the case.
Eugene Crabtree: What's the difference between large trucks and small trucks as far as
traffic is concerned?
Morris Fine: Some of the traffic would be coming in off of Jensen where they have a
stoplight now, and they could come in, and circle around, and then exit, take a right down
the way. From a standpoint of the traffic flow, I think it would be better for
egress/ingress.
=
Eugene Crabtree: I just want to clarify it.
Morris Fine: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Fine. Mr. Bernas?
Jay Bernas: One last question. You mentioned that even though there are only two
people in opposition in July, you only attempted to contact one of them.
Morris Fine: I think Mr. Ford is the brother-in-law of Bishop Thoroughgood, as I
understood. Bishop Thoroughgood was to be the spokesman, as I understood it. I wasn't
here, as I had a court case, and couldn't be here. But that is what I was told.
Tim Ashman: I personally called Bishop Thoroughgood and tried to meet with him a
number of times, and I sent out a letter to both parties with a new set of plans showing
that we moved the project back behind the line as they requested, and with the new
buffer, along with the letter saying that if they had any questions, please call me. And, I
did not hear from them. I did hear from Bishop Thoroughgood, and that he had called
Karen Prochilo and said that he felt much more comfortable with the revised plan. So, I
was under the impression that we were heading in the right direction. I did send out a
letter to both of them with the new set of plans, saying what we had done to try to be a
good neighbor and resolve the issues.

Barry Knight: Mr. Fine?
Morris Fine: Yes.
Barry Knight: We have another gentleman that didn't realize that he had to sign up that is
in opposition. We don't normally do this but we are going to let him speak very briefly,
but you do get a chance to come back to address his concerns. Call him please, Mr.
Strange.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in opposition we have Paul R. Willis.
Barry Knight: Welcome Mr. Willis. Please state your name please?
=
Paul Willis: Paul Willis. I just-want to talk on behalf of this. I heard you talking about
the hours of operation. I live right behind where they are getting ready to build. As it
stands right now, I suffer every night because of one of the businesses back there, which
does surfboards. I have asthma real bad. The fans are going right into my house. And
when it comes to this traffic, we don't need another opening there at all. We've been
having terrible accidents right there at the comer between Jensen and Beautiful Street.
We just had a very bad accident here recently. And, with this building they are talking
about, I can't see how, and we are having drainage problems now. We can run a little in
my yard. I mean the hours that they are working. They are back there 2:00 or 3:00 in the
morning. Like Mr. Ford said, we have trucks coming in all times of the night disturbing
sleep. If they stay behind the line or the wall fine, but not the way it is going now.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions? Thank you sir. Mr. Ford, we just
afforded this gentleman an opportunity, but unless you have some brand new information
and someone is willing to sponsor you up here, you've had your time.
Dorothy Wood: I'll sponsor him.
Barry Knight: Come forward please sir. Please state your name again Mr. Ford.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Nathaniel Ford. Thank you for this opportunity. I listenedd to Mr.
Fine and to what the young man was saying. No attempt was made to contact any of us.
He was here in July, and we went outside. We all agreed then. He gave us a verbal
agreement. We would meet all the members of the community. Bishop Thoroughgood's
church was the meeting place, and he would contact all of us. He had my name. He had
my phone. He had my address. His business is 30 yards away from my home. He
couldn't contact me? He couldn't say anything to me? The only thing he did was this.
He sent a letter to me after the fact with this program, after the fact. After they arranged
what they wanted to do. I'm still concerned that we need to put something in writing for
the hours of operation. It is a noise zone back there. For residential, it is bad, and we

need to have something in writing pinpointing them down to the time and hours of
operation. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood?
Dorothy Wood: Would you be happy Mr. Ford if we did have hours of operation and they
had the fence? Would this make your concerns go away?
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Yes ma'am. Two things. Hours of operation number one. The
fence is part number one. Number two, please take Birdneck Road where they are trying
to enter and exit and make it a one-way entrance. We do not need that as an exit. As you
come in you enter fine. If they exit, they cannot come out here. They have to come all
the way down to Beautiful Street and for a big truck tying up traffic trying to make a u-
turn to go back out when they can just come through Jensen Drive. You have a place that
is open for them. Go through that way, and make all the transitions that you do.
Dorothy Wood: I think Mr. Willis just talked against that.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Yes. We definitely want that to be closed.
=
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Strange.
Joseph Strange: Well, the way I understand it, traffic would have an option; so, instead of
going down there and making a u-turn, they can go out Jensen Drive.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: That is what we want them to do.
Joseph Strange: That's what I'm saying. They still have that option. That isn't cut off to
them.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: No. What I'm saying is that the entrance they have here. Let's take
this entrance here, and use it as an entrance only. Any kind of trucks that come for
delivery is fine. Come here as an entrance only. When the trucks make their delivery,
they go through here, through Jensen Drive, and come back out. They have the right to
go right or left. As you come here as an exit, (now accessed for proposed development)
you tie up traffic here trying to make a u-turn on the highway at Beautiful Street. We do
have a lot of accidents here on Birdneck Road. It is bad enough as it is that the traffic we
have now, and the accidents and people's lives are at stake.
Joseph Strange: I guess my question to you is do you think that the Jensen exit would be
better for the people that were going to exit out of there that were going to take a left?
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Yes sir.

Joseph strange: Then why would they not choose that because that option is there, and it
is available to them. So, if somebody worked there or somebody was using that quite
often, they would figure out real quick that they could go down and make that left.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Sometime, truck drivers are lazy. If there is an opening here, instead
of him going and using this exit, go out and come back around, they would try to back
their truck up and come out and exit here, and tie up traffic. We put here a sign entrance
only that will eliminate that problem.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions?
Joseph Strange: I have one more.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Yes sir.
=
Joseph Strange: Since these are business owners, and they are, somewhat, business
people who use this as an office space also, would the restriction on the hours have
anything to do with coming in and out of their businesses at night? That would be
question number one. And question number two kind of goes along with that. Are you
concerned with them operating after say sleeping hours, say 9:00 or 10:00 o'clock at
night? Is that your big concern?
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: My big concern is that I'm also an entrepreneur. I have a business. I
shut my business down normally at 6:00 0' clock. But I do have the right to go back to
my business anytime that I want to, but I don't have the right to operate my business after
closing hours. That is why I said give them some operational hours, so what it does is set
up a range for them to come in and work. If they have to go back to their business, they
have a right to go back to their business or do what they need to do, but have them
operate from 7:00 o'clock to 7:00 o'clock. Most ofthe residents at that time are coming
from work. They want to sit down and relax.
Joseph Strange: The only reason why I am saying that is because I have a lot of
experience that people working in those environments, and most of the time are out at
6:00 o'clock, and it is pretty much of a ghost town. They get on out there.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Not where we are now.
Joseph Strange: Well. Okay. I don't know about your particular situation. Unless
someone was doing some manufacturing in there, they wouldn't normally be working late
hours.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Around there, coming through Jensen Drive it is a 24/7, which
means open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. You even have people who live there,
who have rented those places and actually live there. There are parties going on at night.

There are bottles breaking and ambulances. Police running back in there, and fights
going on. The other night they were blowing fireworks, right behind the residential
homes. So, somewhere we have to stop for the resident's sakes.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Ford? Thank you sir.
Nathaniel Ford, Jr.: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Mr. Fine?
Morris Fine: I have no more comments.
Barry Knight: Okay. Does anyone have more questions? Mr. Henley?
Al Henley: Is it normal to place hours of operation on an industrial zoned piece of
property?
Barry Knight: Mr. Scott.
=
Robert Scott: Yeah. I think that's not inappropriate at all especially where you do have a
residential neighborhood. The Birdneck Road area is an unusual area because it is a
mixture of residential and industrial. I don't think there is anything unusual about it Mr.
Henley. If it is your judgment that something that like ought to be considered, I don't
think there is any precedent against it, if that is what you're wondering about. ~ don't find
that to be true.
Al Henley: Thank you Mr. Scott.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson?
Janice Anderson: I would be in support of this application. I think the applicant has done
what we generally asked at the beginning; which was to look at their original plan, and try
to modify it so they could preserve the buffer or have less impact on that residential
portion. It happens to be Mr. Ford's property and the other surrounding properties. I
think they have done that. They have moved the actual buildings back into the industrial
area. They've allowed that buffer, and also with the other residents to the south of it, you
have that big space with the parking area, and some other green space. I'll support it, but
I would be in favor of adding or requesting the applicant to add a proffer that would
include putting up a fence like you said. And, now, after further discussion, I would
probably be in support of some kind of loose hour restriction, if that could be put into a
proffer.
Barry Knight: Is there an hour time frame you would like to suggest and put it in the way
of a motion?

Janice Anderson: I would like to refer to the applicant, but I believe that 7:00 to 7:00
would be okay, and some kind of fencing just along the residential, and not the industrial
part, just the residential portion along the buffer.
Barry Knight: Okay. Would you put that in a way of a motion?
Janice Anderson: Yes.
Dorothy Wood: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: Dot Wood would second it. I'll open it back up for discussion. Mr.
Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: I would support that motion as well. I'm always hesitant on putting a
time restraint up here. This is a light industrial zoning lot, and if there is anything
obnoxious to the neighborhood in the form of a use, it is going to come in the form of a
Conditional Use Permit, and it is going to come back to this Commission and back to
Council for consideration. These are small businesses. The reason why I asked about it
being a condominium owner/occupied type unit, is that they are pretty good occupants. I
think Joe is in one. I know that I'm in one. People take care of their property. There
may be someone who owns one and rents it out as well, but typically, if you are an
owner/occupant, you really take care of it, and you're really sensitive to the neighborhood
and those things. This is an area that is in transition; so, if you put this condition of time,
and then Mr. Ford, let's say he sells his property and it becomes more industrial, because
it is happening. That is the pattern that is going on here. Let's not ignore it. I guess, Mr.
Fine could come back and ask to remove it. That is his option, I guess. In this case, this
is a very light industrial use, and I realize you're trying to balance something between an
owner and a resident, but I feel like what is taking place with the setting of the industrial
office building back as far as they could and the setback with the BMP and the buffers, I
haven't seen anyone try to accommodate a neighborhood any better than this, given the
odd shape of this piece of property. I'll support it if you want to put some loose
restriction, but I would really love to see it as liberal as it could be, because I really think
it's unnecessary. I think the fence is a good idea, and I think Joe is making a point. I
think he is right. I think if you work here, you' Ie going to find the right way to get out of
here. You probably won't want to go out there and do a u-turn, you'll want to go around
through Jensen and come back out the other way. That is the nature of people working in
their environment. I'll support it with a restriction on time, if that is what you think. I'd
like to see it as loose and liberal as possible, because I don't think it is unnecessary.
Barry Knight: As the motion stands on the floor right now, we're limiting the hours of
operation from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm and adding the fence. We'll open it back up for
discussion. Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: Well. I'm in total agreement with Mr. Ripley, only because I do work in
r-n..-

this environment. I just never have seen a problem with noise late at night, but having
said that, there may be some looser restrictions around 9:00 o'clock or 10:00 o'clock. But
also, most condominiums have the association itself as to restrictions on noise and on
what type of noise can go on within these places. So, I would like to maybe limit that to
the hours of operation to somebody who may be doing some manufacturing in there, who
will be creating noise. I would hate to, again, for the applicant to have to limit who might
buy there because they didn't like that restriction on there. But again, I would want to
protect the neighborhood too, because surely, nobody wants to live in an area where there
is a lot of noise going on, and they can't sleep at night. So, Ijust think the hours, and if
they are going to be put on there, I don't support the hours, but if they are, I think they
should be more like hours around bedtime hours, like maybe'9:00 or 10:00 o'clock at
night.
Barry Knight: I'll open it back up. Mr. Livas?
=
Henry Livas: I would support it, but I do think we need hours in there. From what I can
determine the applicant is agreeing to the 7:00 to 7:00. Unless the applicant has some
strong objection to that, I think they should remain in there. Mr. Ford's concern about the
trucks going out the one-way street, I think I would agree with the applicant that most of
them will make that loop around, particularly the large trucks. I don't think that problem
is going to materialize, but I do think they need the hours of operation.
Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? Okay. There is a motion on the floor made
by Jan Anderson. Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: I would like to make a substitute motion to change the hours from 7:00
to 7:00 to 7:00 to 9:00.
Barry Knight: And add the fence?
Joseph Strange: And add the fence. Keep everything else in there. I would encourage
the condo association to put a strict rule in there, because when you get people in those
environments and you restrict the rules, the better you are as far as keeping everything in
control.
Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: I'll second the two motions.
Barry Knight: I'll open this up for discussion.
Dorothy Wood: The only reason I was talking about the 7:00 to 7:00 as Mr. Ford
requested is because it is an unusual area. Most of our industrial or office does not have

this much residential around it. This is surrounded by residential, and this was my
concern for the people in the evening.
Barry Knight: Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: Again, being familiar with this type of environment, people buy these
units because they don't want to rent. They want to own these things. They want to invest
their money. They want to resell them one day. Some of these people who own these,
they buy them, and one day, they are going to sell them as part of their retirement
program or something. The more restrictions that you put on these, the less valuable they
become, and the harder they become to sell. I don't want to do anything to hurt the
neighborhood. If I thought that this was going to hurt the neighborhood, I would not be
in favor of it. I think the more flexible you can be, the easier it is going to be for them to
sell the units, and the small business people who buy them. They are going to want to
sell them one day. I don't want to see anything that is going to decrease the value of their
property for them. If we can find a compromise in here where it wouldn't affect the
neighborhood, and it is not going to keep anybody from sleeping at night, and at the same
time not limit the value of their properties, I think that would be a good compromise.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Strange. Mr. Crabtree?
=
Eugene Crabtree: Just one comment on what Joe said. My feelings, and the reason why I
seconded his vote to 9:00 o'clock, was the fact of working in the summer time, which
most industrial things do. In the summer time, it doesn't even get dark to 9:30 at night.
So we're talking about daylight hours. We're not talking really about dark hours except
maybe for a few months. In order to get the businesses a little bit more latitude during
daylight hours is why I would support this along with Ron and Joe.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Is there any other discussion? Mr. Bernas.
Jay Bernas: Ijust want to say that I agree with Commissioner Livas. I think that the
applicant has recommended 7:00 to 7:00. I think we need to take great care in the
Birdneck area, where we've got these self-storage industrial uses, because they are
limited by the AICUZ, and we're placing them right in residential neighborhoods. We
had one recently on Bells Road as well, and I just want to protect the existing
neighborhood's interest as well, especially since they recommended 7:00 to 7:00. I
totally agree with Commissioner Crabtree, and I'm in favor of the application, but I
would like to see 7:00 to 7:00. So, if this vote comes up, and it doesn't pass, I would like
to make a substitute motion for the 7:00 to 7:00 hours.
Barry Knight: We have a substitute motion on the floor. It is a substitute motion, which
is for the fence and 7:00 to 7:00. If it doesn't pass, then we will go back to the original
motion, which is 7:00 to 7:00. So, is there any other discussion?

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Oxford Properties, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from B-2 Community Business District to Conditional A-24
Apartment District on property located at the southeast intersection of Centerville
Turnpike and Indian River Road (GPIN 1455998372). DISTRICT 1 - CENTERVILLE
MEETING DATE: October 24,2006
. Background:
Application of Oxford Properties, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from B-2 Community Business District to Conditional A-24
Apartment District, at the southeast corner of Centerville Turnpike and Indian
River Road, for the purpose of developing a 180-unit apartment community.
. Considerations:
The applicant proposes to develop a three (3) story apartment complex with a
total of 180 units. The development will offer a clubhouse, pool, car wash and
several garage spaces. The apartments will be a mix of one (1) and two (2)
bedroom units. The proposed elevations depict buildings with an attractive
fagade of high quality building materials chosen to coordinate with the design of
the structures across Centerville Turnpike on the CBN and Regent University
campus. The fagade of the apartment units, the clubhouse and the garages will
be a mix of brick and cement fiber board (Hardiplank). The site plan depicts
parking in excess of the minimum requirement of 327 spaces. A total of 332
parking spaces are shown on the proffered plan.
The property could be developed by right with any principal use identified in the
City's Zoning Ordinance as being permitted in the B-2 Business District, such as
a shopping center with a grocery store, restaurants, and other retail uses, all of
which generate significantly more traffic than the proposed apartment complex.
Traffic Engineering staff indicate that a typical, 10 acre, commercial development
could generate up to 6,050 average daily trips (ADT). The proposed 180 unit
apartments will generate 1,210 ADT, a substantially lower amount. This is
significant in an area with already over stressed and over capacity roadways.
The applicant has proffered to install turn lanes as necessary and to dedicate
land for future improvements to both Centerville Turnpike and Indian River Road.
There was opposition to the request.

SEWER: This site must connect to City or HRSD sanitary sewer. This site is out of the surrounding pump
stations 434, 437 and 442. If the sanitary sewer flows from this site enters into one of the surrounding pump
service areas, analysis of that pump station and the sanitary sewer collection system is required to ensure
future flows can be accommodated. There is an 8-inch City gravity sanitary sewer main at the intersection of
Indian River Road and Parkland Drive. There is an existing 8-inch City gravity sanitary sewer main along
Indian River Road northeast of the site. There is an existing 42-inch HRSD force main along Indian River
Road.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
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. All new
development and redevelopment in the Primary Residential Area should, in general, maintain and
complement the predominant suburban character of the Primary Residential Area. In general terms, this
means that the established type, size and relationship of land uses, both residential and non-residential,
in and around neighborhood areas should serve as the guide when considering future development
proposals.
Evaluation:
The proposed change of zoning from B-2 Community Business District to A-24 Apartment District is
acceptable. The property could be developed by right with any principal use identified in the City's Zoning
Ordinance, such as a shopping center with a grocery store, restaurants, and other retail uses, all of which
generate much more traffic than the proposed apartment complex. Traffic Engineering staff indicate that a
typical, 10 acre, B-2 development could generate up to 6,050 average daily trips (ADT) while the
proposed 180 unit apartments will generate substantially less trips with 1,210 ADT. This is significant in
an area with roadways already over stressed and over capacity. The applicant has proffered to install turn
lanes as necessary and to dedicate land for future improvements to both Centerville Turnpike and Indian
River Road.
The residentially zoned properties to the east and south will be buffered by the 150 foot wide drainage
easement along the eastern and southern property lines. The proposed elevations depict three (3) story
apartment buildings with an attractive fagade of high quality building materials chosen to coordinate with
the design of the structures across Centerville Turnpike on the CBN and Regent University property. The
fagade of the apartment units, the clubhouse and the garages will be a mix of brick and cement fiber
board (Hardiplank).

The exterior of the typical apartment building shown upon the Site Plan shall be substantially similar in
appearance to the color coordinated rendering exhibits prepared by corcoran/ota, dated June 1, 2006, said
exhibit being the same exhibit as the color coordinated exhibit being submitted to the City Council and on file
in the Planning Department of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia and being composed of the same building
materials and elevations as reflected upon the said elevation exhibit on file in the Planning Department of
the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "Apartment Building Rendering"). The building materials for the
dwelling units will be brick and cementuous siding materials (such as Hardi-plank). The maintenance
structure will be made of the same materials, be one story tall, and have an open bay carwash attached
PROFFER 5:
The exterior of the Clubhouse and typical garages shown upon the Site Plan prepared by corcoran/ota,
dated June 1, 2006, shall be substantially similar in appearance to the color coordinated rendering exhibits
prepared by corcoran/ota, said exhibits being the same exhibits as the color coordinated exhibits dated June
1, 2006, submitted to the City Council and on file in the Planning Department of the City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia and being composed of the same building materials and elevations as reflected upon the color
coordinated rendering exhibits which depict the renderings of the Clubhouse and a Typical Garage which
are on file in the Planning Department of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "Clubhouse and Garage
Rendering"). Building materials for the clubhouse will be brick and cementuous siding materials (such as
Hardi-plank). The typical garage will be made of the same materials.

rezoning request hearing-9/13/06
Dea-r
I am writing this letter on behalf of the Charlestowne/Charlestowne Woods Civic League.
The areas of Charlestowne and Charlestowne Woods consist of over -SOO households. In the
last 5 years, we have observed the addition of 2 low-income or sliding scale apartment
complexes (Centerville and Kempsville intersection, and Centerville and Lynnhaven
intersection) , _a "luxury" apartment complex (near Centerville and Kempsville
intersection), and the ever-growing single family and townhouse complex off Lynnhaven and
Centerville Turnpike.
We have witnessed a significant increase in crime in our neighborhoods, including robbery,
carjacking, vandalism, and loitering consisting of persons dressed in "gang" related wear.
My wife and I have personally witnessed drug-use in the Tallwood Apartment complex, while
driving through on a Sunday afternoon.
The increase in traffic congestion has worsened significantly with the addition of
hundreds of vehicles connected to these complexes. I have had to take the Greenbrier exit
off of 1-64 numerous times, instead of my own exit of Indian River Road, since the back-up
on the interstate is so severe. I feel it is a dangerous situation to sit off the shoulder
of the interstate waiting to exit.
We do not have a rescue/fire station in the Centerville area, and neighbors have several
stories to tell of 30 minute wait times for an ambulance to arrive. We have contacted the
Fire Chief regarding this dangerous situation, and have been told there is rio plan to add
a badly-needed station in our area, but , not to worry, because the city has contracted
~~ith Chesapeake to use their stations! -
I am providing this information as support in our unanimous request that the development
of land at the intersection of Indian River Road and CentervilleTurnpike not be developed
as an apartment complex, but rather stay as currently zoned for business usage. The
increase in crime and traffic, and lack of rescue and fire stations in our district are
more than enough reasons to deny the zoning change request. Hopefully, this would be a
beginning on a path to limit the density growth of the Centerville area.
Please deny this request on Wednesday, September 13th, 2006!
Thank you,
Patrick Crawford
Vice-President
Charlestowne/Charlestowne Woods Civic League

Item #16
Oxford Properties, L.L.c.
Change of Zoning District Classification
Southeast intersection of Centerville Turnpike and
Indian River Road
District 1
Centerville
September 13, 2006
REGULAR
Barry Knight: We will now start with the public hearing portion of our agenda. We
have, I believe, four items to be heard today. We will take these slightly out of order. We
are going to drop item 12 down to the last item to be heard. Mr. Scott, hopefully, if he is
back at that time, will help expl~n that, if not, we will have someone else do it. But Mr.
Secretary, if you would call the first item to be heard today.
=
Joseph Strange: Sure. The fIrst item is item 16, Oxford Properties, L.L.c. An
application of Oxford Properties, L.L.c. for a Chang of Zoning District Classification
from B-2 Community Business District to Conditional A-24 Apartment District on
property located at the southeast intersection of Centerville Turnpike and Indian River
Road, District 1, Centerville, with nine proffers.
Barry Knight: Welcome Ann.
Ann Crenshaw: Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is Ann Crenshaw. I'm a
Virginia Beach attorney, and I represent the applicant. Mr. Randy Royal was dividing our
time, and he will speak to the engineering assets of our application. The applicant seeks a
rezoning from B-2 Business to Conditional A-24 Apartment for the development of a 180
unit apartment complex. The developer seeks to construct three-stories of high-end
apartments with one and two bedroom units. The materials and the design were
formulated to complement the Founders Inn architecture, and the relating surroundings.
These units are not intended for student housing. The amenities include, but are not
limited to, swimming pools, clubhouse, and other picnic type facilities. We, in fact,
consider this to be a downzoning because we believe that as we are zoned B-2, we may
by-right develop this property as a business facility such as a strip mall or shopping
center. The nine proffers are acceptable to the applicant. We have met with the adjacent
civic leagues, the New Light Civic League and the Lake James Civic League. The New
Light Civic League has not voiced an objection to our application. We have an officer of
the Lake James Civic League here today to speak in support of our position. I will now
let Mr. Royal finish.
Barry Knight: Welcome Randy.

Randy Royal: Good afternoon. Randy Royal, I'm an engineer with Kimley-Hom &
Associates in Chesapeake, Virginia. I'm going to talk a little bit about the traffic issue.
A gentleman showed up outside, and quite frankly, I'm not sure which neighborhood he
is from but I spoke with him briefly. He has, and as Ann has said, we have met with the
two adjacent neighborhoods, Lake James and New Light. This gentleman, I think, is
going to speak to you a little bit about traffic. He had a concern about the bottleneck, if
you will, at Centerville and Indian River, which there is a lot of traffic there now. But, as
we stated in the pre-briefing, we are only generating about 20 percent of the traffic that
could be generated by a by-right use. The property is zoned B-2 and retail could go in
there. We have met extensively with Public Works to talk about the access point, which
as you can see there, we're utilizing the existing median break which is already on
Centerville Turnpike, we're installing left and right turn lanes to mitigate traffic impacts
there. We have also agreed to dedicate right-of-way on Centerville and Indian River
Road for future plans that the city has to, I think to, mitigate some of the traffic that they
have in there right now. We've got full support of Public Works, as far as where this is
located. I believe the gentleman would like for us to have the access further down
Centerville Turnpike away from the intersection, but as you can see from the shape of the
property that we really don't have enough frontage to get down to that point. It is off the
map there. Weare kind of faced with putting it in the existing median break where we
have it now, and again, Public Works is fine with that, but, with that, I'll stand by for
questions and let the others speak.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions for Mr. Royal or Ms. Crenshaw? Mr.
Bernas.
Jay Bernas: How far away is that median break from the intersection approximately?
Randy Royal: I'm not sure to tell you the truth from this drawing here. I don't have an
overall map. The gentleman that is going to speak. may know. But in looking at an
overall planimetric there, eyeballing it, I would say from the existing median break,
which is probably another 800 to 900 feet or something like that. The existing one that is
in there now, on Indian River, that is probably 650 to 700 feet, which is an adequate
separation.
Jay Bernas: That is what I was concerned about, that stacking from the intersection
traffic backed up to that point. It sounds like it should be a sufficient distance from that
intersection for stacking of traffic that is backed up through there.
Randy Royal: Right. That was his statement also.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Mr. Royal or Ms. Crenshaw? Mr. Royal,
could you explain to me, and knowing your engineering background, a lot of times you
have on these right-of-ways, where the City needs additional right-of-way, and you said
T-----
+---.-
Item #16
Oxford Properties, L.L.c.
Page 3
that you -are going to dedicate the right-of-way. Is it, in fact, sometimes the case where
people put in a reservation, and the city has to buy it from the developer?
Randy Royal: That is correct. That was initially what was proposed, and Public Works
said we would like to really like to have the dedication here. Can you just dedicate this?
It is going to help everything in the area. I went back to the developer and they said that
was fine. And as I said, part of that is, and I do know they are going to have dual left turn
lanes coming off of Indian River on to Centerville, and likewise from Centerville on to
Indian River. They need more right-of-way to do that.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any other questions? Thank you.
Randy Royal: Thanks.
Joseph Strange: Okay. Speaking in support is Gary Nelson with the Lake James
Homeowner's Association.
Barry Knight: Welcome sir. Please state your name.
==
Gary Nelson: Mr. Chairman. Members. I'm Gary Nelson and a board member of the
Lake James Homeowner's Association. We have been briefed on this project, and al1274
homeowners have been notified of this. We have a consensus. We've had zero negative
comments from any homeowner in Lake James. We feel that this project is the best use
of the land. It is going to have minimum impact on our neighborhood. We certainly
would be opposed if that was a strip mall for obvious reasons. We feel that this was the
best use for us. We have assessed the impact from the environmental standpoint, and the
project involved the canal. We have been assured that is going to remain open, because
that is drainage for Lake James. It carries excess water from the lake down to the
Elizabeth River. We also understand that the developer is working on the traffic issues
by having the appropriate access to Centerville Turnpike. We feel that there would be
minimum impact from the traffic regarding our area, and it will be far better than having a
strip mall. So, the Lake James Homeowner's Association is solidly behind this
application. Thank you.

Civic League. While we agree with Lake James that a commercial use would not be
viable for that area, we want to go on record as opposing the apartments. I can
understand someone wanting to make the best use of their property, but we feel that
single-family homes would be the way to go for that property if it does have to be
developed. My husband was the gentleman that the traffic engineer was referring to.
You state in your own report that the "roads are overstressed and over capacity". Believe
me, where Charlestowne and Charlestowne Woods is, that is the truth. On Kempsville, it
takes five lights to get through Kempsville Road and Indian River. In Centerville, our
area of the world has been inundated with condos, apartments, new single-family
housing. The roads are already overstressed. What we want to go on record, as we are
opposed to the apartments. Not only because of the traffic jam it will create, you can't get
off 1-64 at this point, at the Indian River exit without sitting 40 minutes on 1-64. It can be
a boondoggle getting to or from your house. So. we want to go on record as opposing the
apartments because of the traffic, and also because it will be more of an impact on
services to the area. I just wanted to get that said. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Would you answer a question from Ms. Wood?
Dorothy W ood: You mentioned single-family homes but I don't think that is what is
going to happen. As you know, by right, they can put in a shopping center.
=>:m
Cecile Tedesco: I understand. We feel that if this is the feeling of the civic league, it
should go on record that we do oppose the apartments.
Dorothy Wood: Of course. But you would rather have the apartments than the shopping
center? Is that correct?
Cecile Tedesco: I would rather have nothing there. Let's not be realistic. So what we're
saying is that rather than a shopping center or apartments, we would rather see single-
family homes.
Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
Cecile Tedesco: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Thank you ma'am.
Cecile Tedesco: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any more speakers?

Randy R-6yal: Just briefly.
Barry Knight: State your name again.
Randy Royal: Randy Royal, Kimley-Hom & Associates. As Ms. Wood, it's not an
appropriate parcel for single-family development in there. If it doesn't develop as a
multi-family, it probably will as retail. Somebody will come in and develop it. Yes. It is
on Indian River Road, but it is on Centerville Turnpike, and certainly it has a value. CBN
doesn't want to see it developed that way. Quite frankly, they are the owners of the
property, and they would like to see a nice residential development such as this. Thank
you.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions of Mr. Royal? Thank you. I'll open
it up for discussion. Mr. Bernas?
=
Jay Bernas: I live on the west side of the Indian River Interchange, and I agree. I'm glad
I don't live on the east side because the traffic on the east side is pretty horrendous.
Although, I agree that this is probably a downzoning, I have to echo the concern that the
resident has that the traffic is pretty bad in this area. I do think the apartments are nice. I
think it is probably definitely better than the retail operation, but I just wanted to echo her
concerns since I live very close to this area, and I am very familiar with the traffic. I
dread going around there during the morning or afternoon to try to get through Indian
River going the other direction going east. So, I just wanted to echo her concerns.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Bernas. Ms. Wood.
Dorothy Wood: I also understand that concern. I think we would all like to see property
left in its natural state. But, unfortunately, that is not what usually happens. I think this is
a very high quality development, and when the time is right, I'll be happy to make a
motion for approval.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Is there any other discussion? The Chair would entertain a
motion.
Dorothy Wood: So moved for approval.
Barry Knight: There is a first on the floor by Dot Wood and a second by Mr. Henry
Livas. Is there any other discussion? Mr. Ripley?
Ronald Ripley: I'll be abstaining on this vote. CBN asked our company, which I have a
third ownership interest, to make the proposal on this particular piece of property and we
did. So, I've stayed out of any discussions with any Commissioners or any staff, or
anything that deals with this property. So, I will be abstaining. I want that on record.

"A condition of blight is not satisfac"f;ory for any of the parties concerned. It is contrary to
all of the strategic initiatives we hav~identified, and diminishes the ability of both the
city and the residents and property owners to meet their respective goals. In most cases
the best way to deal with this condition is..redevelopment--the removal of the existing
uses and structures and the replacement of them with better uses and better structures. In
some cases this can be accomplished by the private sector alone, as in the case of the
redevelopment of the Princes} AI;me Plaza Shopping Center. While th~ preexisting
condition was not one\ofblight, there can be no argument that the new development is
much healthier from a community, retail, and tax basepoint of view. In other cases the
intervention of the city ~may be necessary, possibly with enhanced and enforced
ordnances and land use policies. probably in the-fef'm of a rcdcvclopmem-authority, ~
voter approval, '..vith the right of oondemnation consistent '.vith all other oity objectives,
including the fair andcqu.a\.~teatment of property owners and residents. \Vhile this
conccpt has yet to find fuvef-witfl-ettf'-\foters, the need for it can be made olear with two
points. There are two lrhportant points to consider. First, the negative influence of blight
on our residents, our taX base, our economic development initiatives, and our entire
community well-being cannot be stated strongly enough. Second, the number of housing
units over the age of thirty years will increase from about 17,000 in 1990 to about
130,000 in 2020. It is inconceivable to think that all of them can attain that age in a
condition acceptable to us. Virginia Beach is not alone in facing this phenomenon,-,....ffitt
we arc virtually alone in lacking the necessary tools to deal 'with it. "

The Honorable Reba S. McClanan

Virginia Beach, VA 23452
Dear Reba,
This letter pertains to one of the agenda items for the October 10 City Council meeting.
The Planning commission has forwarded to you a proposed change to the Comprehensive
Plan that deletes language relative to a redevelopment and housing authority. This
proposed change is pursuant to the City Council's direction provided by a resolution
approved at the June 21, 2006 City Council meeting.
The Council's resolution directed the Planning Commission to propose a change to the
Comprehensive Plan that removes the city's policy advocating the activation of a
redevelopment and housing authority from the Comprehensive Plan. The Council's action
was taken as a result of the May 2, 2006 election, at which time a referendum question to
activate the Redevelopment and Housing Authority in Virginia Beach was defeated.
You will be the :final arbitrator in determining if the change proposed by the Planning
Commission complies with.the letter and spirit of the resolution that the Council passed in
June.
Before you vote on the proposed change, I ask that you review the paragraph on
page 31 of the Comprehensive Plan titled "A city that is free of blight".
Although I believe the Planning Commission has made a good attempt to comply with
Council's direction, they did not address the paragraph on page 31. This paragraph
clearly states that the City needs a redevelopment and housing authority to intervene to
correct blight.
Attached is the paragraph with a suggested change for your consideration.
I appreciate the action that you have taken to cause the removal of the redevelopment and
housing authority language from the Comprehensive Plan. I believe that the general public
will recognize that your a'Ytion to remove this as a public policy issue is a favorable
response to the ballots t~t 1~y cast.
Thank you for your assist(ij)Ce and yow attention to this very nnportant issue.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan by. deleting references
for the establishment of a redevelopment and housing authority (referred by the
City Council on June 27, 2006).
MEETING DATE: October 24,2006
. Background:
An Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan by deleting references for the
establishment of a redevelopment and housing authority (referred by the City
Council on June 27, 2006).
The City Council deferred this matter on October 10, 2006 to allow time for a
modification to the Planning Commission recommended amendment to include
revised language relevant to this issue as presented on page 31 of the
Comprehensive Plan. The modified amendment is attached.
. Considerations:
The attached amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is in response to a
resolution adopted by the City Council on June 27,2006. That resolution directs
the Planning Commission to propose amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
that would remove the recommendations that a redevelopment and housing
authority be established and to also consider other amendments consistent with
removal of such references to the creation of a redevelopment and housing
authority.
Staff and a committee of the Planning Commission met and discussed the
resolution sent by the City Council. The attached amendment is the result of
those discussions. The amendment notes that referendums have been held in
1996 and in 2003 regarding whether a redevelopment and housing authority
should be established, and in both cases, a majority of those voting did so in the
negative. Thus, the proposed amendment states that "in accordance with the
wishes of the voters, the City will proceed with its plans for redevelopment
without a redevelopment authority for the foreseeable future."
Also, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's overall emphasis on the
importance of private sector and public-private sector redevelopment to the
continued healthy growth of the City of Virginia Beach, the amendment also
notes that there should be continued dialogue and education on this topic.

A condition of blight is not satisfactory for any of the parties concerned. It is contrary to
all of the strategic initiatives we have identified, and diminishes the ability of both the
city and the residents and property owners to meet their respective goals. In most cases
the best way to deal with this condition is redevelopment--the removal of the existing
uses and structures and the replacement ofthem with better uses and better structures. In
some cases this can be accomplished by the private sector alone, as in the case of the
redevelopment of the Princess Anne Plaza Shopping Center. While the preexisting
condition was not one of blight, there can be no argument that the new development is
much healthier from a community, retail, and tax base point of view. In other cases the
intervention of the city will may be necessary, possibly with enhanced and enforced
ordinances and land use policies. probably in the form of a redeyelepment a1:lthority, ','lith
voter appro'ral, wifu the right of eondemnatiefl eonsisteflt with all other city objeetiyes,
inell:lding fue fair and equal treatment of property o':mers 8fld residents. \Vhile this
concept has yet to find fa'/or with om voters, the need for it can be made cIeffi" wifu two
points. There are two important points to consider. First, the negative influence of blight
on our residents, our tax base, our economic development initiatives, and our entire
community well-being cannot be stated strongly enough. Second, the number of housing
units over the age ofthirty years will increase from about 17,000 in 1990 to about
130,000 in 2020. It is inconceivable to think that all ofthem can attain that age in a
condition acceptable to us. Virginia Beach is not alone in facing this phenomenon, but
we are virtually alone in lacking necessary tools to deal with it.

In addition to these financing tools, there is an additional tool that can be made available.
This is ail. aggressive residential and retail conservation program coupled with a strategic
revitalization / redevelopment policy. These initiatives should establish high aspirations
for increased economic development and the elimination of conditions that would impede
favorable growth or erode the quality of our neighborhoods. The assembly oftools
outlined above is capable of carrying out large pieces of this policy. In each case we
either have these tools or have the legal authority to create them. There is one exception.
This extremely important tool, a redevelopment agency, is lacking from our assembly of
revitalization resources. Howe"ler, 'lIithout the passage of a r-erorendl:1m we lack the legal
authority to create this yal-l:1able asset. Virginia Beach is one of the few major cities,
anywhere, that lacks such an agency. The future of a redevelopment authority is in the
hands of the voters ofVinrinia Beach. Without the passage of a referendum by the voters
authorizing the activation of an authority. there can be none.
In a referendum on November 5. 1996. the voters of Virginia Beach first addressed this
issue and voted against the concept. In a referendum on May 2. 2006. the voters revisited
this issue and a maiority of the qualified voters indicated again that there is not a need for
an authority at this time. Therefore. in accordance with the wishes of the voters. the City
willl'roceed with its plans for redevelopment without a redevelopment authority for the
foreseeable future.
However. should circumstances in the city change. it is within the purview of the voters
of the city to revisit this issue. as they have before. and to again vote on the issue as they
see fit.

Sustaining the economic vitality and quality of neighborhoods requires effort on the part
of public and private property owners. The public sector invests considerable resources
to ensure their properties contribute to a quality physical environment. In the context of
housing and neighborhoods, the community also relies on private residential property
owners to maintain their lands and buildings in order to protect their investment and, to a
larger extent, the economic well being of Virginia Beach. Deterioration of housing, if
left unchecked, could grow to a point where neighborhoods begin showing signs of
blight. The state code pro'/ides legislatioR that enables localities to combat such
conditions, amOl'lg them. incl1:ldes authorization to establish a redevelopment and hOl:lsing
authority, contingent OR passage of a referendum demonstrating public s:apport. This
tool, while not clHTently available, should be acquired as it could serve a vital role in
protecting the q1:lality and yalue of Ol:l:f physical environment.

AMENDMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN-REDEVELOPMENT
Agenda Item # 12
September 13, 2006 Public Hearing
REQUEST:
An Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan by deleting references for the establishment of a
redevelopment and housing authority and to redevelopment in general (referred by the City Council on
June 27, 2006).
,
SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT
The attached amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is in
response to a resolution adopted by the City Council on June
27,2006. That resolution directs the Planning Commission to propose amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan that would remove the recommendations that a redevelopment and housing
authority be established and to also consider other amendments consistent with removal of such
references to the creation of a redevelopment and housing authority.
Staff and a committee of the Planning Commission met and discussed the resolution sent by the City
Council. The attached amendment is the result of those discussions. The amendment notes that
referendums have been held in 1996 and in 2003 regarding whether a redevelopment and housing
authority should be established, and in both cases, a majority of those voting did so in the negative. Thus,
the proposed amendment states that "in accordance with the wishes of the voters, the City will proceed
with its plans for redevelopment without a redevelopment authority for the foreseeable future."
Also, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's overall emphasis on the importance of private sector and
public-private sector redevelopment to the continued healthy growth of the City of Virginia Beach, the
amendment notes that (1) there should be continued dialogue and education regarding redevelopment in
all of its forms, and (2) based on that dialogue and education, it is within the purview of the future citizens
of Virginia Beach to revisit the need for a redevelopment and housing authority, and by referendum as
required, those future citizens may establish such a body if they view it as necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed amendment is recommended for approval.

Item #12
City of Virginia Beach / Comprehensive Plan Amendment
An Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan by deleting
References for the establishment of a redevelopment and
Housing authority and to redevelopment in general
September 13, 2006
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is Item 12, the City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive
Plan Amendment. An Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan by deleting the
establishment of a redevelopment and housing authority and to redevelopment in general.
Barry Knight: Mr. Scott. Would you address this for the City?
Robert Scott: Yes sir. In short, City Council adopted a resolution, and you have a copy
of it relating to the issue of a regevelopment of housing authority. One of the principal
elements of it is that it provides you, and although the resolution that you have says 60
days and City Council subsequently changed that to 90 days, and you are within that 90-
day frame to act on this, if you act today. The purpose of it is to be responsive in the
Comprehensive Plan to the defeat a referendum in May, in which the question of an
establishment of redevelopment and housing authority was to put the voters. It's the
second time that has occurred. When we received this resolution, Tom Pauls and I talked
with Chairman Knight, and we decided to enlist the assistance of Commissioner Ripley.
If you recall, back in 2003, when the Planning Commission drafted the Comprehensive
Plan, which was in accordance with State law, Mr. Ripley was instrumental in putting
together the language that pertains to this particular part of the plan dealing with
redevelopment. So, we thought his input would be very valuable, and indeed it was. As
we went through this, we drafted some language, that you have in front of you, that is
believed to be responsive and responsible regarding the issues that we have in front of us.
As I indicated, the intention is to eliminate any recommendation that a redevelopment
authority be established. In the drafting of it, we tried to continue noting the issue of
redevelopment in the City. That is, the issue or redevelopment has been noted by the City
Council as being an extremely important issue throughout the City. And indeed,
redevelopment is occurring in the city at this moment. And certainly, any time you take
the language that is in the Plan already, well crafted language, I think when the Plan in
2003 was adopted, you've got to make sure you leave in place the appropriate language
that guides us, as it applies to redevelopment. And also, to recognize efforts in discussion
that are already underway at this moment by the public on the issue of redevelopment.
They have been invited to participate in a number of discussions on this, and they have
done so. I think that it is important not to exclude that effort from our attention. The
thrust of the language that you have in front of you is to establish one very important
point. And that is that the future of a redevelopment authority in Virginia Beach is in the
hands of the voters. You cannot have any redevelopment and housing authority unless
the voters, in referendum choose to establish one, and they have not done so. That is the
reality of it, and I think it's appropriate that the Plan recognizes that fact. So this
language that you have in front of you is intended to balance the factors that I outlined to
you. I think it does a good job ofthat. I am not saying that further adjustments couldn't
be made or additional polishing or a few words here or there couldn't take place. I'm not
saying that this is the absolutely last word in how to do this, but I do think it's a good
attempt to balance the competing interests that are in front of us, and to be true to the
many comments that the City Council has made over the last few years about the need to
seriously consider our need to redevelop the city. So, with that, this is the language that
we have arrived at, and have submitted to you for your review. Ifthere are any questions,
Tom and I are here to help address those.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Scott. Are there any questions of Mr. Scott at this time?
Okay. Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: Okay. Speaking in opposition we have Al Alablowich.
Barry Knight: Welcome AI.
Al Alablowich: Good afternoon Mr. Chairman and members of the Planning
Commission. My name is Al AJablowich. I'm a resident of the City of Virginia Beach. I
have read the proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan. I do find it to be non-
responsive and inadequate for the following reasons. It does not remove references
pertaining to the establishment of redevelopment and housing authority from the
Comprehensive Plan. It does not remove references to the redevelopment housing
authority in general as requested by City Council. The proposed change offers changes to
three pages of the Comprehensive Plan. Pages 43, page 247 and H-2. There are actually
five pages in the Comprehensive Plan that should be addressed. They are pages 31,43,
237,247 and A-2. As amplification, I offer the following. The Comprehensive Plan on
page 31 states, and I'm not going to quote the whole thing, but "in other cases the
intervention of the City will be necessary probably in the form of a redevelopment
authority for further approval with the right of condemnation consistent with all other
City objectives. We are virtually lacking the necessary tools to deal with it". This
paragraph does not address the proposed change. Comprehensive Plan, page 43, has been
changed to retain the concept of a redevelopment housing authority as a tool of the City
but defers other action on obtaining these tools to the foreseeable future. Whatever that
is. Should the circumstances ofthe City change. It enforces within the purview of the
citizens to redevelop the issues they have before and to vote again on the issue. The
proposed change adds comments pertaining to the 1996 and the 2006 referendum, which
have been cited. This is a historical fact. Of course, it could be left in there, but the City
Council direction, in the ordinance, has requested that you remove some references. The
Comprehensive Plan, page 237, contains the statement "this tool" referring to the
redevelopment housing authority, "are not currently available should be required". This
paragraph does not address the proposed change. The proposed change should revise this
statement, and the Comprehensive Plan, to comply with the City Council's directions to
remove such references. Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Alablowich. Are there any questions ofMr. Alablowich?
Ms. Anderson?
Janice Anderson: Just that last one that you spoke of.
Al Alablowich: Yes. I was on page 237.
Janice Anderson: Okay. Could you?
Al Alablowich: Yes. The statement beginning, "this tool", and read the complete
paragraph. I'm reading a sentence, but if you read the complete paragraph, "This tool",
which refers to redevelopment housing authority, while not currently available, should be
acquired, as it could serve as a vital role in protecting the quality and value of our
physical environment". That is what that paragraph is about. And, I'm saying your
proposed change doesn't even address that paragraph.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Alablowich? Kind of cut right down to
the nuts and bolts of it, we had a vote in 1996 that said no housing redevelopment
authority.
Al Alablowich: That is correct.
Barry Knight: You had another_one in 20~that said no housing redevelopment
authority.
Al Alablowich: That is correct.
Barry Knight: What we would like to say is, as it is stated here, the future of the
redevelopment authority is in the hands of the voters of Virginia Beach. We don't want
to put it in the prerogative of the City Council, of any bureaucrats, of any state legislators,
or anything. We want to state in this ordinance, we want to put it in the hands of the
voters, because that is democracy at its purest form, and if the voters want to change their
mind in 5, 10 or 15 years from now, that ought to be their prerogative. The rest of it in
here is a little to the nuts and bolts of it. But, as long as these two sentences noting that
without the passing of the referendum by the voters authorizing the activation of an
authority, there can be none. So, it appears to me that is cut and dried. There just will not
be a redevelopment authority unless the voters vote on it. That is where we, and I think
you and I agree on this point that we would like to put it in the hands of the voters
themselves.
Al Alablowich: I agree with that.
Barry Knight: That was just kind of my statement Mr. Alablowich.
Al Alablowich: Yes Mr. Chairman, I do agree with you.
Barry Knight: Thank you.
Al Alablowich: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Are there any more questions? Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: Do we need that? It's a dead issue. It has already been voted on twice.
It's gone. Do we even need to say that it is in the hands of the voters? The voters have
already spoken twice about it. That is redundant.
Barry Knjght: We don't mind reiterating the facts.
Eugene Crabtree: I'm just saying that it seems redundant to me. I'm just stating my
opinion. It just seems redundant that it is in there at all. It's a dead issue since it has been
voted on twice. I don't know.
Al Alablowich: That is correct. In that particular paragraph, I think they're addressing it.
In the other paragraph I just cited on page 237, it says, "if this should be acquired". "This
tool should be acquired as it could serve a vital role in protecting the quality and value of
physical environment". This paragraph is talking about acquiring. This is a matter of
public policy. If that is the case, we still have within the Comprehensive Plan a statement
of public policy that says, we will acquire a redevelopment housing authority. Read the
page on 237.
Barry Knight: Mr. Scott?
Robert Scott: I think we need to differentiate between two kinds of statements. In a way,
I actually agree with what Mr. Alablowich is saying on page 237. I'll tell you why. I
think what we've endeavored to do is to include statements of fact. It's a fact that it is up
to the voters. It's a fact that is has been turned down. It's a fact that if we have it we can
do certain things and if you don't have it, you can't do other things. Those are important
facts that policy may wish to know. The statement on page 237 is not a factual statement.
It's a value statement. It is a different kind of statement. I don't think it will be a mistake
to take that out. I really don't. I think I agree with what Mr. Alablowich was saying on
that one. But I do feel that with regard to the thrust of what Mr. Knight and Mr. Ripley
and Tom and I were trying to achieve in drafting this is that we do feel it is important to
keep the important factual statements in there, even if they are redundant. Some people
already know it. People who are policy makers and are looking at policy need to know
what those important pertinent facts are. So, I guess I would supplement my
recommendation a little by perhaps suggesting that Mr. Alablowich's thought regarding
page 237 possibly be included.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Is there any other discussion? Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: On page 31, and other pages, the intervention of the City will be
necessary probably in the form of a redevelopment authority. Okay.
Ronald Ripley: With voter authority.
Eugene Crabtree: Okay, with voter authority. I'm sorry. I quit reading before I should
have. I apologize.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: It was just discussing on.
Barry Knight: Is there any other questions for Mr. Alablowich? Thank you sir.
Al Alabl9wich: Thank you very much Mr. Chairman.
Barry Knight: I'll open it back up for discussion. Ms. Anderson?
Janice Anderson: I think that the committee and Barry and Ron and Mr. Scott have done
a good job. I am pleased with the changes, because I think it does need to be mentioned
that it is a tool. This is a Planning document and what you're publishing is the
Comprehensive Plan, and with the changes here, you're just recognizing that it is one of
the tools that are used in redevelopment, and I think it is very clear that our
Comprehensive Plan states that north of the Green Line, we have very little land that is
undeveloped. So, we are going towards a redeveloping of the property, which is going to
be the major focus here. But, I think it clearly states that if we don't have that tool yet.
The citizens don't want that tool to be used; so, we use the other tools, so far as
redevelopment is concerned. I ~gree with Mr. Alablowich on that page 237, that last one
he quoted, that, like Mr. Scott, that probably needs to be either withdrawn or modified,
and I would be in support of this proposal here with that addition.
Barry Knight: Is there any other discussion? Mr. Ripley.
Ronald Ripley: I think Jan said it best in that what is being recommended and what has
always been recommended is the Comprehensive Plan is just a tool. One of the tools that
a city the size of Virginia Beach needs to consider from time to time, if they have to, if
they have issues they have to address. The idea of not having that or foreclosing any
consideration of that, I think from a Planning Commission, City Council may choose to
ignore it, and that is fine, but I think from a Commission advising City Council, I think
it's prudent to include it. Hopefully, the public will see very clear what the City's
direction is, as far as using this particular tool at this time. So, hopefully, that is the way
it is perceived in the community.
Barry Knight: Ms. Anderson would you like to tell us your motion or make it in the way
of a motion?
Janice Anderson: Yes. I would like to make a motion to approve the amendment as
written in Exhibit "A", with an addition to either withdraw the sentence regarding
redevelopment and housing being acquired on page 237.
Barry Knight: Thank you. I have a first. Do I have a second?
Ronald Ripley: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: Mr. Ripley has a second. I'll open it up back for discussion on this. I
would like to say one thing. Mr. Alablowich, we appreciate citizens looking over us, and
helping us with this, and as you can see, we have taken your comments to heart. We
thank you for your participation. There is a motion on the floor made by Jan Anderson,
and a second by Ron Ripley, to approve the City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan
Amendment with taking out references to housing and redevelopment authority on page
237. Is there any other discussion? 1'11 cal for the question.
