NOTICE OF PROPOSED
REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
AND PUBLIC HEARING
Tax Increase Caused bv Increase in Annual Assessment
The City of Virginia Beach proposes to increase property tax levies.
1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property
(including public service properties). excluding additional assessments
due to new construction or improvements to propertY, exceeds last
year's total assessed value of real property by 18.39 percent.
2. Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The
tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last
year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate
with the exclusions mentioned above. would be $0.8362 per $100 of
assessed value. This rate will be known as the "lowered tax rate."
3, Effective Rate Increase: The City of Virginia Beach proposes to
adopt a tax rate of $0.93 per $100 of assessed value. The difference
between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate would be $0.0938
per $100. or 11.22 percent. This difference will be known as the
"effective tax rate increase."
Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage
greater than or less than the above percentage.
4. Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real
property tax rate and changes in other revenues, the total budget of the
City of Virginia Beach will exceed last year's by 6.02 percent.
NOTE: Although the fY 2007-08 Operating Budget as submitted to the
City Council proposes a decrease in the current real estate tax rate to
$0.93 on each $100 of assessed valuation. the assessment for individual
properties, including public service property, increased by an average of
18.39%. Since the increase in assessments is over 1.00%, the preceding
information was provided pursuant to Code of Virginia ~ 58.1-3321.
Public HearinQ
A Public Hearing on the increase will be held on Tuesday, April 24. 2007. at
6:00 P.M, in the City Council Chamber on the second floor of the City Hall

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM:
An Ordinance to Add Sections 33-120 through 33-131 to the City Code
Pertaining to Newsracks In the Resort Area
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background: In 1999, City Council adopted City Code S 33-18.1, which contains
several standards for the placement of newsracl5s on public property to ensure that disabled'
persons have unimpeded access to cross-walks and pedestrian crossing buttons. Although that
Code section has been successful in assisting persons with disabilities, it does not address an
issue that has become increasingly problematic in the past several years: the escalating
proliferation of newsracks in the public right-of-way in the Resort Area.
A survey taken in 2002 indicated that there were 423 newsracks along Atlantic Avenue.
Just three years later, in 2005, the number of news racks along Atlantic Avenue increased forty
one percent to 596. As of August 2006, there were 676 news rack boxes in the resort area.
In an effort to address the public safety and aesthetic problems created by the
proliferation of news racks, City staff has worked with the distributors and publishers of both paid
and free publications, as well as the Resort Advisory Commission, the Virginia Beach
Restaurant Association, the Resort Retailers Association, and the Virginia Beach Hotel-Motel
Association. After many months of work on this issue, the vast majority of the representatives
for publications currently in the Resort Area have endorsed the approach taken in this
ordinance.
. Considerations: The ordinance restricts the placement of newsracks in the Resort
Area to fifty locations identified in the attached appendix, and it limits each publication to one
newsrack per location. The ordinance requires each news rack to contain information identifying
its distributor, and newsracks are required to have doors or other coverings. The ordinance also
establishes standards for the installation and maintenance of newsracks, and for removal of
newsracks that are not in compliance with the ordinance's provisions. The ordinance will sunset
on May 1, 2009, unless City Council by ordinance removes the expiration date.
. Public Information: Newsrack regulation has been discussed at several City Council
meetings, and City staff has met with publication representatives dozens of times during the
past several months, Public hearings were held on March 30, 2006 and on January 3, 2007.
This item will be advertised in the same manner as other agenda items.

8 hereby added as follows:

10 Article VIII. NEWSRACKS IN THE RESORT AREA
11 Section 33-120. Legislative intent and purpose
12
13 The City Council of the City of Virginia Beach hereby finds
14 and declares that:
15
16 (1) The uncontrolled placement of news racks and
17 newspaper vending machines in public rights-of-
18 way presents an inconvenience and danger to the
19 safety and welfare of the public, including
20 pedestrians, persons entering and leaving
21 vehicles and buildings, and persons performing
22 essential utility, traffic control, and emergency
23 services;
24
25 (2) The ready availability of newspapers and other
26 publications is beneficial to the public and to
27 government, for without an informed public,
28 government cannot properly function. However, the
29 uncontrolled placement of newsracks in the public
30 rights-of-way can constitute a public nuisance;
31
32 (3) The city's economic vitality depends ln large
33 measure upon its continued growth as a major
34 center of tourism and as a place in which
35 business can flourish. The resort area of the
36 city, in particular, is a unique and valuable
37 asset to the city and its citizens, inasmuch as
38 it is a major center of tourism generating
39 substantial revenue for the public benefit. The
40 continued revitalization of the resort area, and
41 especially Atlantic and Pacific Avenues, will be
42 promoted by regulating the location and
43 characteristics of newsracks. An appealing, well-
44 kept appearance is critical to the city's

(4) Moreover, maintaining and improving the
appearance of the city is vital to the well-being
of the residents of the city. An attractive and
harmonious community enhances the quality of life
of the city's residents; and
(5) It is the intention of city council in adopting
this section to carefully weigh and balance the
benefits of regulating the placement and other
characteristics of news racks in public rights-of-
way against the potential impacts which may
result from such regulation.

. Background: The City of Virginia Beach owns a vacant parcel of land
approximately 0.34 acres at the intersection of 2nd Street and Atlantic Avenue in
the Rudee Loop area (the "Premises"). Pieces of Eight, LLC and C.B.M. Co. TIA
Schooner Inn (collectively, "Tenant") have requested to lease the Premises to
provide parking for their Pirate Cruise tourist attraction and for overflow parking

improvements to the Premises in an amount not to exceed $20,000.
. Considerations: This lease would be for an initial term of one year with
four one-year mutual renewal options. If the City does not a approve a renewal
option requested by the Tenant, the City agrees to pay a pro-rata portion of the
Tenant's improvement costs based on the number of years remaining in the five-
year period that includes the initial term and the renewal terms. The City has a
gO-day termination right at any time, provided the City pays the pro-rata share of
the Tenant's improvement costs based on the length of time remaining in the five-
year period that includes the initial term and the renewal terms. (For example, if
the improvement costs equal $20,000 and the City does not approve the second
renewal term, the City would pay the Tenant $12,000.)

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An ordinance to authorize the acquisition of permanent and temporary easements, either
by agreement or condemnation, for Diamond Springs Road Bridge Replacement Project
(CIP 2-083)
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background: The Diamond Springs Road Bridge Replacement Project (the "Project")
first appeared in the FY 2000-01 CIP. Based on the finciings of the Bridge Inspection Report,
two bridges on Diamond Springs Road that cross the Van Wyck Canal (between Haden Road
and Shore Drive) were recommended for replacement. The project limits are approximately 800
feet south of the Shore Drive-Diamond Springs Road intersection to approximately 280 feet
north of the Haden Road-Diamond Springs Road intersection. Improvements to the existing
roadway and drainage structures located within the construction limits will also be made. The
Project will require acquiring permanent and temporary easements over four parcels.
. Considerations: This Project is needed to replace the existing bridges on Diamond
Springs Road. These bridges, built in 1937 and in 1957, are approaching the end of their useful
lives. The bridges currently carry an average of more than 26,000 vehicles per day, and
oversized vehicles must be routed around them. These structures require increasingly
significant amounts of maintenance due to their deteriorated state.
The City has contacted the owners of the four properties where easements are proposed to
advise them of the Project. Funding for the acquisition has been appropriated.
. Public Information: A public hearing for this agenda item was advertised as required by
law.
. Alternatives: Approve the ordinance as presented or deny the request for authority to
acquire, by agreement or condemnation, the easements associated with the Project.
. Recommendations: Approve the request for authority to acquire, by agreement or
condemnation, the easements associated with the Project.
. Attachments: Ordinance and Location Map
Recommended Action: Approval

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $1,965,315 in Various U,S, Department of Housing
and Urban Development Federal Section 8 Voucher Revenues, and Transfer $12,835
from CIP #2-217, Community Development Site Acquisition, to the Department of
Housing and Neighborhood Preservation's FY 2006-07 Operating Budget
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background: Section 8 Program: The Department of Housing and Neighborhood
Preservation (DHN'P) receives federal funds annually to support rental subsidies for persons
living in privately owned housing in the city, DHNP based its FY 2006-07 budget estimate on
information from the U,S, Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") that was
available in December 2005, which indicated that the City would receive $9,870,000 for the
Section 8 Voucher Program and $68,659 for the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Voucher
Program, This funding would have provided for an estimated 1 ,568 Housing Choice rental
vouchers and 30 Moderate Rehabilitation vouchers, Since December 2005, HUD significantly'
adjusted its funding formula, which resulted in a much higher allocation to the City than had
originally been estimated, For FY 2006-07, the City has received a total of $11.,815,645 for the
Section 8 Voucher Program and $88,329 for the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilit,ation Voucher
Program, The additional $1,965,315 needs to be appropriated, 'It is estimated that an additional
309 Housing Choice rental vouchers and 8 Moderate Rehabilitation vouchers will be provided
with these funds, ,
Transfer of CIP Appropriations: In FY 2000-01, CIP #2-217, Community Development Site
Acquisition, was closed out with unspent Community Development Block Grant appropriations
of $12,835, These funds need to be transferred to the opera~ing budget to be reallocated to the
homeowner rehabilitation program, The citywide emergency rehabilitation program is currently
funded at $140,000 for approximately 30 homes; these additional funds will provide for
approximately 2 additional loans to homeowners for housing rehabilitation,
. Considerations: Section 8 Funds: The additional federal funds will allow for additional
rental housing assistance for both the Housing Choice Voucher Program ($1,945,645} and the
Moderate Rehabilitation Voucher Program ($19,760),
Transfer of CIP Appropriations: These appropriations need to be transferred from the closed-
out capital project to the department's FY 2006-07 Loan and Grant Fund in order to be
reallocated to the existing homeowner housing rehabilitation program,
. Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal Council
agenda process,

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $20,000 from the Virginia Beach Parks And
Recreation Foundation to CIP Project #4-013, Community Recreation Center Repairs
and Renovations - Phase II, to Build a Playground for Use by the Pre-School Buddies
Program
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background: A group of dedicated citizens established the Virginia Beach Parks and
Recreation Foundation (the "Foundation") in 2004 in order to support the programs, services
and facilities of the Department of Parks and Recreation. . One program the Foundation wishes
to support is the Kempsville Recreation Center's highly successful Pre-School Buddies
Program, which offers low-cost licensed child care for children ages 3 to 5. The program's
popularity and growth, coupled with the need for providing a safe, secure and enclosed play
area for these children, has necessitated the construction of a designated play area at a total
cost of $35,000.
. Considerations: At the present time, the Pre-School Buddies Program is being held' in
one of the rooms at the Center, but has no separate, safe and secure play area for the children.
The Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation Foundation has held several events to raise funding
to support the construction of a pre-school playground adjacent to the Kempsville Community
Recreation Center. The Foundation raised $20,000 to contribute to this project. The remaining
$15,000 needed to complete the playground construction is available in CIP Project #4-013.
. Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal Council
agenda process.
. Alternatives: Without this contribution, construction of the playground would be
delayed and/or not contain desired features and amenities such as benches, plantings and a full
range of age-appropriate playground equipment.
. Recommendations: Accept and appropriate the $20,000 contribution from the Virginia
Beach Parks and Recreation Foundation to CIP #4-013, Community Recreation Center Repairs
and Renovations - Phase II.

ITEM: An Ordinance to Transfer $500,000 from the General Fund Reserve for Contingencies to
a Dedicated Reserve for the Sheriff's Department to Cover Increasing Costs for the
Inmate Medical and Food Contracts
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background: The Sheriff's Department is responsible for providing health care and
food services at the Virginia Beach Correctional Center as 'well as the Work Release
Correctional Annex. The Sheriff's Department uses contracted companies to provide food
services, medical, mental, dental and related health care and administrative services for
inmates including an intake health screening on all inmates following admission to the facility. In
addition, the contracted companies take necessary security precautions that allow Sheriff's
Department staff to perform their jobs without compromising security.
. Considerations: In order to maintain current services within the Correctional Center,
additional funding is necessary to provide adequate medical care and food for inmates. When
an individual is remanded to the Correctional Center, the Center is responsible for providing a
mandated level of care, which includes food and medical care. In FY 2007, a dedicated reserve
for medical and food contractual increases was transferred in the amount of $451,708 to the
Sheriff's Department due to the rising inmate population as well as increases in medical care.
As the number of inmates housed in the Correctional Center increases, there is a corresponding
increase in costs. The average daily inmate population in the current fiscal year to March 31st is
approximately 1,540 inmates.
The balance of Reserve for Contingencies after this Council action will be $327,673 as of March
30, 2007.
. Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal agenda
process.
. Recommendations: Transfer $500,000 from the' General Fund Reserve for
Contingencies to provide funding for the increased costs of the Correctional Center medical and
food contracts.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: (a) Application of Grace Bible Church for a Chanae of Zonina District
Classification from 1-1 Light Industrial District to 0-2 Office District on property
located at the western terminus of Ansol Lane (GPINs 1497135862; 1497037953;
1497138854). AICUZ is 65 to 75 dB Ldn. DISTRICT 3 - ROSE HALL
(b) Application of Grace Bible Church for a Conditional Use Permit for a church
on property located at the western terminus of Ansol Lane (GPINs 1497135862;
1497037953; 1497138854). DISTRICT 3 - ROSE HALL
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background:
The applicant has assembled three (3) parcels located at the western terminus of
Ansol Lane and totaling 18.92 acres. One of the parcels, consisting of 1'4 acres
and zoned 1-1 Industrial District, is requested for rezoning to 0-2 Office District.
The applicant proposes to combine that property with an existing 0-2 Office
zoned site for the purpose of obtaining a Conditional Use Permit for a 1,400 seat
church, including additional space within the building dedicated to youth activities
and other church activities. The site is in an AICUZ of both 65 - 70 dB Ldn and
70 - 75 dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. The proposed use of the site is
compatible under both.the Navy's OPNAV Instruction and the City's AICUZ
Ordinance. Services will typically be held on Sundays and Wednesday evenings.
A street closure for an unimproved street that bisects a portion of the site has
also been requested and is on the same agenda as these requests under a
separate application.
. Considerations:
The submitted rendering of the proposed building depicts a modern style 75-foot
high structure with a combination of limestone color ground face masonry
veneer, dark grey synthetic stucco (exterior insulation finishing system), and a
glass curtain wall as the primary exterior building materials. Architectural details
include cultured stone columns, exposed steel supports, aluminum clad
canopies, and a "tower" of translucent glass channels on the portion of the
building designated for youth activities. The overall appearance of the building
from 1-264 will be of a modern office building. There is one point of access to and
from the site from Ansol Lane depicted on the concept plan. The concept plan
depicts the church structure and 740 parking spaces, well in excess of the 280
spaces required by the City Zoning Ordinance.
The property is impacted by the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area (CBPA)
Ordinance; a portion of the site is with the Resource Protection Area, the more
Grace Bible Church
Page 2 of 3
stringently regulated portion of the CBPA. On January 22, 2007, the applicant
obtained approval from the Chesapeake Bay Board for land disturbance in this
area. The approved disturbance consists of the construction of a bridge to
traverse tidal wetlands, connecting the main church site to the property to the
west, which is proposed for a 30 foot by 50 foot maintenance building, a large
parking lot, and a stormwater management facility.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as a Primary Residential Area and
as part of Strategic Growth Area 6 1 North London Bridge Area. The area is
characterized by a contrast in the quality and activity levels of commercial uses
and the fact that residential uses are interspersed throughout. The land use
planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly
on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic
quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area.
Staff has struggled in the past with other requests for potential uses of this site,
prilT)arily due to its high level of visibility from 1-264, its environmental constraints,
the split zoning of 1-1 Industrial District and 0-2 Office District, its access through
an existing neighborhood, and its location at the terminus of 20-foot wide street
that does not meet current City standards. Staff concludes that a church is a
'best case' scenario for this site as the weekday morning and afternoon peak
traffic from such a use will not impact the Ansol Lane and North Lynnhaven Road
intersection. During church services and other events, however, significant traffic
congestion can be expected. It should be noted that residents along Ansol Lane
will have an additional 1 ,700 vehicles passing by their homes on Sundays. This
roadway now serves only a few uses and the character of Ansol Lane will change
considerably as a result of this rezoning. At the request of Traffic Engineering
Staff, therefore, a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was submitted in conjunction with
this application in order to determine the impact of the church on the surrounding
properties and roadways. Traffic Engineering Staff reviewed the TIS and
generally accepts its conclusions and recommends several actions that will
reduce traffic impact at the peak times of church activity. Those actions are
outlined in the attached staff report.
Planning Commission placed the items on the consent agenda because they
concluded proposal will provide for a problematic site a use compatible to the
surrounding area, traffic control measures will be put in place to reduce impact
on the adjacent neighborhood, and there was no opposition.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-2 to approve
the requests with the following conditions:
1. When the site is developed, it shall be developed in substantial conformance
with the plan entitled, "Grace Bible Church Ansol Lane," prepared by
Engineering Services, Inc., dated 11/27/06.
2. The church building shall be constructed in substantial conformance with the
elevation entitled, "Schematic Design Concept for Grace Bible Church, A

3. A cul-de-sac or other appropriately designed turn-around acceptable to the
Department of Public Works shall be provided by the church at the end of
Ansol Lane, where the public roadway transitions to a private drive aisle into
the church property.
4. Any freestanding or building mounted signage shall meet all applicable City
ordinances. The use of moveable copy on any sign shall be prohibited.
5. Traffic control measures shall be in place during Sunday services,
Wednesday evening services, and during other large special events, such as
concerts, weddings, and funerals, among others. This measure, at a
minimum, shall consist of a trained traffic control person, approved by the

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Ansol
Lane is currently a two-lane undivided roadway that has terminus points to the west at the subject site
and to the east at North Lynnhaven Road. The roadway width varies.from 18 to 28 feet and no
pavement striping exists on the roadway. The road serves as a local collector roadway. Ansol Lane has
only North Lynnhaven Road as an outlet. North Lynnhaven Road is a narrow two (2)-lane collector
roadway, without turn lanes, that connects with Virginia Beach Boulevard to the north and Lynnhaven
Parkway to the south. North Lynnhaven Road is currently operating well over capacity in
weekdays during the afternoon peak hour time period. There are no improvements proposed for
Ansol Lane or North Lynnhaven Road in the current CIP. At the request of Traffic Engineering, a Traffic
Impact Study (TIS) was conducted by the applicant. Discussion pertaining to the TIS is provided in the
Evaluation and Recommendation section of this report, below.

gravity sanitary sewer to this site or construct a private pumping system if the ability to do so is verified by the
applicant through an engineering study. Sanitary sewer and pump station analysis of Pump Station # 505 is
required to ensure future flows can be accommodated. Construction bonds and plans will be required. There
is an eight (8)-inch gravity sanitary sewer main and a six (6)-inch City force main in Armon Avenue over 1,700
feet away. There is an eight (8)-inch City gravity sanitary sewer main in Kings Grant Road.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the conditions below.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as a Primary Residential Area and as part of Strategic
Growth Area 6 / North London Bridge Area. The area is characterized by a contrast in the quality and
activity levels of commercial uses and the fact that residential uses are interspersed throughout. The land
use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and
protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located
in this area.
Evaluation:
The applicant has assembled three (3) parcels totaling 18.92 acres, 14 acres of which requires a rezoning
from 1-1 Industrial to 0-2 Office for a 1,400 seat sanctuary with additional space dedicated within the
building to youth activities and other church activities. The site is in an AICUZ of both 65 - 70 dB Ldn and
70 _ 75 dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. The proposed use of the site is compatible under both the
Navy's OPNAV Instruction and the City's AICUZ Ordinance. Services will typically be held on Sundays
and Wednesday evenings.
Staff has struggled in the past with other requests for potential uses of this site, primarily due to its high
level of visibility from 1-264, its environmental constraints, the split zoning of 1-1 Industrial District and 0-2
GRACE BIBLE CHURCH
Agenda Items 2 & 3
Page 4
Office District, its access through an existing neighborhood, and its location at the terminus of 20-foot
wide street that does not meet current City standards. Staff concludes that a church is a 'best case'
scenario for this site as the weekday morning and afternoon peak traffic from such a use will not impact
the Ansol Lane and North Lynnhaven Road intersection. During church services and other events,
however, significant traffic congestion can be expected. It should be noted that residents along Ansol
Lane will have an additional 1 ,700 vehicles passing by their homes on Sundays. This roadway now
serves only a few uses and the character of Ansol Lane will change considerably as a result of this
rezoning. At the request of Traffic Engineering Staff, therefore, a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) was submitted
in conjunction with this application in order to determine the impact of the church on the surrounding
properties and roadways. Traffic Engineering Staff reviewed the TIS and generally accepts its
conclusions, but does have the following comments:
1. The TIS does not assume any childcare or pre-school activities at the proposed church. Thus,
the weekday peak hour traffic generated by the church is shown.to be minor compared to what
can be developed on the site by-right. If the church, however, decides to provide a child care or
preschool facility, both of which are permitted with 0-2 zoning, the traffic impacts of the church on
weekday peak hour operations on North Lynnhaven Road would be significant. (Comment:
Addressed by Condition 6, recommended below).
2. The TIS does not include any reference to a traffic signal bond for this development. The traffic
from the proposed church could contribute to a requirement for a new traffic signal at North
Lynnhaven Road in the future if found to be warranted. The signal bond amount will be
determined at the site plan submittal stage. (Comment: Will be addressed at site plan review.
should these applications be approved).
3. A left-turn lane on northbound North Lynnhaven Road at Ansol and a right,;,turn lane on
southbound North Lynnhaven Road will be warranted with the addition of traffic from the church.
Although the addition of these turn lanes are off-site improvements, Traffic Engineering
recommends that the church be resp<?nsible for their construction to minimize the traffic impacts
of the church on traffic operations on North Lynnhaven Road, which is over-capacity without the
church. (Comment: Will be addressed at site plan review should these applications be approved.
Since the improvements are 'off-site', they cannot be required as a condition of the Use Permit).
4. The only firm recommendation included in the TIS is for the church to provide a trained and
approved traffic control person to direct traffic at the Ansol Lane and North Lynnhaven Road
intersection before and after church services on Sundays. While Traffic Engineering agrees,
there will still be a significant amount of traffic congestion on North Lynnhaven Road because
there are no left-turn and right-turn lanes. Without turn lanes, the many left turning vehicles
waiting to turn onto Ansol Lane will block northbound North Lynnhaven Road traffic, possibly back
to Lynnhaven Parkway during peak church periods. Similarly, without a right-turn lane,
southbound traffic on North Lynnhaven Road will be delayed by the significant amount of slow
right-turning vehicles and the complete stops required when the traffic control person allows
northbound lefts onto Ansol Lane from North Lynnhaven Road. (Comment: Condition 5 requires a
traffic control person. The turn lanes will be addressed at site plan review should these
applications be approved).
5. Although it is not mentioned in the TIS, there will be some church traffic that will avoid the Ansol
Lane and North Lynnhaven Road intersection because of congestion there and will cut-through
GRACE BIBLE CHURCH
Agenda Items 2& 3
Page 5
on Gator Street, which is a local street that runs parallel to Ansol Lane and is the only other street
that outlets onto North Lynnhaven Road from Ansol Lane. (Comment: This ~ssue may be further
addressed during detailed site plan review should these applications be approved).
In sum, staff recommends approval of these applications with the conditions below.
CONDITIONS
1. When the site is developed, it shall be developed in substantial conformance with the plan entitled,
"Grace Bible Church Ansol Lane," prepared by Engineering Services, Inc., dated 11/27/06.
2. The church building shall be constructed in substantial conformance with the elevation entitled,
"Schematic Design Concept for Grace Bible Church, A Compr~hensive New Facility," prepared by
Barnes Design Group, P.C., dated December 7,2006.
3. A cul-de-sac or other appropriately designed turn-around acceptable to the Department of Public
Works shall be provided by the church at the end of Ansol Lane, where the public roadway transitions
to a private drive aisle into the church property.
4. Any freestanding or building mounted signage shall meet all applicable City ordinances. The use of
moveable copy on any sign shall be prohibited.
5. Traffic control measures shall be in place during Sunday services', Wednesday evening services, and
during other large special events, such as concerts, weddings, and funerals, among others. This
measure, at a minimum, shall consist of a trained traffic control person, approved by the City's Police
Department, to direct traffic at the Ansol Lane and North Lynnhaven Road intersection.
6. The site may not be used for childcare or school use without modification of this Use Permit.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances.
Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to
meet all applicable City Codes and Standards.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police
Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
(CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.

representing Grace Bible Church. I want to let the Commission know that the Pastors of
the church and a number of members of the church have come down today. I want to
thank them for coming. They, as well as myself, appreciate very much that the
Commission is putting this matter on the consent agenda. We appreciate all the hard
work staff has put in on this. All four conditions of the street closure are acceptable, as
are all six conditions of the Use Permit for the church. I thank you. We also want to
thank the residents in the neighborhood, where the church members have gone and
spoken and advised them in advance of this application for their support. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Bourdon. Is anyone present here today that opposes items
1,2 and 3, Grace Bible Church being put on the consent agenda? If not, Mr. Crabtree,
will you give us a short briefing of this?
/0;-:- Eugene Crabtree: I'll be more than happy to. This is a piece of property that was zoned
Light Industrial, that is being requested to change to 0-2 for the church. We have looked
Items #1,2, & 3
Grace Bible Church
Page 2
in the past of the numerous things that have come in that have been proposed for this
piece of property. As of this point, it is the best use of this property that we have seen
here on the Commission to this point. It meets the conditions of the Comprehensive Plan.
It is in a primary residential zone. The total acreage of this is 18.92 acres, which is pretty
good size piece of land for them to do this. When they are completed and they build their
sanctuary, it is going to be visible from 1-264 and they have designed this to make it a
very pleasing site, as you drive down 1-264. The surrounding neighbor is in favor of this.
The Navy, as well the City has agreed with this even though it is in a little high noise
zone. It is still compatible with this area. The impact on the neighborhood will be
minimal because Ansol Lane primarily runs along side the interstate, and there is very
,little residential that actually borders on Ansol Lane itself. Therefore, considering all
these items, we have put it on the consent agenda.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Crabtree. Mr. Secretary.
Joseph Strange: Yes. I would like to make a motion that we approve item 1 on the
consent agenda with four conditions, and items 2 and item 3 with six conditions.
Barry Knight: Thank you. There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second? There is
a second by Mr. Horsley. I'll call for the question.

ITEM: Application of Zion City of Deliverance Outreach for a Conditional Use
Permit for a church on property located at 5405 Indian River Road (GPIN
1465285585). AICUZ is Less than 65 dB Ldn. DISTRICT 1 - CENTERVILLE
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background:
The City Council deferred this request at their April 1 0, 2007 meeting.
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit allowing the renovation of an
existing deteriorated structure for a 58 member church. The subject building is
one of two commercial structures on this parcel, which is zoned B-2 Business.
There is an existing dry cleaning business (Zoots) located on the front portion of
the site, immediately adjacent to Indian River Road. The structure proposed for
the church has been vacant for several years, and the property owner has had
considerable difficulty finding a user due to the location of the building on the rear
of the lot, the deteriorated condition of the building, and the close proximity of a
residential community to the south. Thus, similar to situations where churches
locate within underutilized units in a retail strip center or office complexes, the
applicant desires to use this underutilized building.
. Considerations:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as part of the Primary Residential
Area. The land use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential
Area primarily focus on preserving and protecting the overall character, economic
value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area, while
providing for compatible and appropriately located non-residential uses serving
those neighborhoods.
The applicant is proposing to rehabilitate what many consider to be an existing
"eye sore." The exterior of the existing building is in extreme disrepair. The
applicant proposes to add vinyl siding, install landscaping, re-stripe the parking
lot, install security measures, and improve the lighting. An existing hedge of
Leyland cypress exists along much of the southern property line, adjacent to the
single-family residential units. As this will be a place of "assembly," additional
Building Code requirements must be met in regards to fire protection, tenant
separation, and means of egress. The applicant is currently working with the
Building Official to address these outstanding concerns.
Zion City of Deliverance Outreach
Page 2 of 2
In addition to traditional church service times on Wednesdays and Sundays, the
church will also offer computer training, tutoring, and outreach programs intended
to meet the needs of lower income families and senior citizens.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0 to approve
this request with the following conditions:
1. The improvements depicted on the submitted plan entitled "Concept Plan
Zion City of Deliverance Outreach" shall be implemented prior to occupancy.
Additional requirements may be required as a result of the final site plan
review. Additionally, the exterior of the existing building shall be upgraded
with a neutral color siding.
2. A Certificate of Occupancy shall be obtained from the Building Official prior to
occupancy.
3. Lighting shall be directed down at the ground, and not out horizontally or up in
the air. Any lighting located on the back of the building(s) must use
appropriate shielding/screening in order to direct light downward at the
ground and not toward the adjacent homes on Lake James Drive.
4. Normal operating hours shall be limited to between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
5. Daycare operations shall be prohibited on this site.
6. The applicant shall work with the Permits and Inspections Division of the
Planning Department to attenuate the sound generated by the church as
much as reasonably possible.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Indian
River Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a six (6)-\ane divided major urban arterial.
The Master Transportation Plan proposes a divided facility within a 155 foot right-of-way. The Capital
Improvement Program includes a project for construction of an eight-lane divided highway from
Centerville Turnpike to Kempsville Road within a 155 foot right-of-way and full improvements at the
Indian River Road/Kempsville' Road intersection. Currently, this project (Indian River Road, Phase VIII)
is on the Requested But Not Funded Project Listing. Although Indian River Road, Phase VIII is listed as
a Requested But Not Funded project, Public Works/Project Management has indicated that this project
may quickly come to the forefront. Current transportation models have indicated an escalating need for
roadway improvements throughout this corridor and intersection to combat immediate capacity issues.
The Zion City of Deliverance Outreach should not be directly impacted by this CIP project; however, the
retail operation on the same site to the north as well as the access from Indian River Road may be
impacted. Details are unknown at this point.

Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as a Primary Residential Area. The land use planning
policies and principles for the Primary Residential Areafocus strongly on preserving and protecting the

install landscaping, re-stripe the parking lot, install security measures, and improve the lighting. An
existing hedge of Leyland cypress exists along much of the southern property line, adjacent to the single-
family residential units. .

protection, tenant separation, and means of egress. Additional bathrooms may be necessary and
compliance with all Americans with Disabilities Act requirements must be met. The applicant is currently
working with the Building Official to address these outstanding concerns. Even with an approval from City
Council, occupancy would not be permitted unless all federal, state and local code requirements are met.

Item #16
Zion City of Deliverance Outreach
Conditional Use Permit
5405 Indian River Road
District 2
Kempsville
March 14, 2007
REGULAR
Barry Knight: Mr. Strange? The next agenda item please.
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 16, Zion City of Deliverance Outreach. An
application of Zion City of Deliverance Outreach for a Conditional Use Permit for a
church on property located at 5405 Indian Road, District 2, Kempsville.
Barry Knight: Is the applicant's representative here?
Joseph Strange: I have a Pastor Joyce Butler.
Barry Knight: We1come ma' am.
Pastor Joyce Butler: Good afternoon. Mr. Chairman? Ladies and gentlemen. I'm Pastor
Butler. I'm the Pastor of Zion City of Deliverance. I want to thank you for considering
this matter. I would also like to say that, first of all, I am a resident of the Kempsville
area. I have been delighted to be a citizen and a member of the community. We're
looking to certainly come in, and be an asset and good neighbors like the pastor prior to
myself. Not looking to come in and change the existing atmosphere. I think I can
comfortably say. I do believe there are some concerns. We are fully able to address those
concerns and any questions that you may have in regards to this matter.
Barry Knight: Okay. I'll open it up for questions. Does anyone have a question of Pastor
Butler? Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: I guess, my questions is, and, we have a letter here from a Mr. Stampe?
Pastor Joyce Butler: Yes.
Joseph Strange: It is my understanding that you met with him?
Pastor Joyce Butler: Yes we did.
Joseph Strange: Did you all reach some sort of level of understanding on focusing on
what was going to happen? He seemed very excited about having your there. There
didn't see to be any problem whatsoever or opposition to you being there. Because of the
Item #16
Zion City of Deliverance Outreach
Page 2
meeting where you had kind of had some understanding, one was that your normal hours
of operation would be 9:30 am to noon on Sundays; and 7:30 pm to 9:00 on Wednesday
for bible study. Was that the kind of level of understanding you had with him?
Pastor Joyce Butler: That is the level of understanding. However, being a church there
are often times there are other functions that occur, such as weddings, baby dedications,
and things as such.
Joseph Strange: In his letter, he says Lake James understands that from time to time
special events will occur outside the normal hours. Basically, he has asked for a few
conditions to be put on this that he didn't feel like you would object too. One was, maybe
no operations before 6:00 am or after 10:00 pm.
Pastor Joyce Butler: Or after 10:00 pm? I understand that but being a church, as I say,
we certainly are not looking to have service until 12:00 or 1 :00 0' clock at night.
However, there may be some type of carry over. But that's within terms.
Joseph Strange: That there was not to be any daycare operation?
Pastor Joyce Butler: Right. There is no daycare.
Joseph Strange: You have no objection to that?
Pastor Joyce Butler: No.
Joseph Strange: When you're doing the repairs on the structure to get ready that there
would be no work after 8:00 o'clock at night during the time you're doing construction.
Pastor Joyce Butler: We agree with that. May I ask a question? During these procedures
of reconstructing, are we speaking about perhaps painting or such that is very quiet.
Joseph Strange: I don't think they were trying to be hard with anything.
Pastor Joyce Butler: Okay.
Joseph Strange: They were just trying to do some things to kind of protect, as any
neighborhood would. I really don't want to elevate this to a problem. These people are
more than happy to have you there. They did not indicate that we oppose these people
coming here. They were very happy. I think it had more to do with his position there in
the community, when he goes to the community. He kind of represents things to be this
way. We kind of said, well okay, we will put this thing in writing as a condition.
Pastor Joyce Butler: We want to be good neighbors. Not meaning to cause any upset
disturbances as such.

Joseph Strange: I'm sure. I feel awful for bringing this up but it was brought to me. I
talked to Mr. Stampe. He certainly didn't want to elevate this to a large situation.
Pastor Joyce Butler: We originally had the meeting and it was quite good for both
parties.
Joseph Strange: Right. He was excited. He wrote a nice letter here. He said "Pastor
Butler, good luck". He had some very cordial feelings. That is it.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions for Pastor? Thank you ma'am.
Pastor Joyce Butler: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Speaking in support,we have Sharon Wallace.
Sharon Wallace: That was only if there were any additional questions.
Joseph Strange: Sure.
Barry Knight: Okay. Thank you.
Joseph Strange: We also have one other speaker. Peggy Sansone. You didn't mark
whether it was opposed or support.
Peggy Sansone: It is really not opposition. Ijust have a few questions and concerns.
Joseph Strange: Okay.
Barry Knight: Come forward ma' am.
Peggy Sansone: Are you ready for me?
Barry Knight: Sure. We1come and please identify yourself.
Peggy Sansone: Thank you and good afternoon. My name is Peggy Sansone. I'rri a
resident that lives adjacent right behind the fence of the property. Once again, I'm not in
opposition as a resident of the neighborhood. I just had a few questions and concerns. I
was one of the groups that met with Pastor Butler, and it was a very cordial informative
meeting. However, I'm not sure it might be listed in Mr. Stampe's list of conditions is
the issue of the building? Well, in the previous picture you saw that the building is rather
old. It is in serious decay and disrepair. Our concern, and the neighbors on the other side
of the fence, is that of the sound-proofing. We hear noise across the fence all the time.
There is Chick-Fil-a that is adjacent right to this property. We hear constantly all day
long the orders that are being taken. Anybody who drives through with music, we hear

everything. So, given that service is being inside the building, the building is really very
deteriorated. I've been inside the building. They can concur. There really is a lot of
work. My concern is that are they going to sound proof the building as they had spoke to
us about in the meeting, and when isthat going to be done? Pastor Butler had said they
are looking forward to maybe starting services in May. Are they going to be able to
accomplish sound-proofing of this building before services are held? That was really the
primary concern. I think everything else has been answered in hearing your discussion of
concerns. Is sound proofing of the building mentioned in Mr. Stampe's letter?
Joseph Strange: It was.
Peggy Sansone.: And is it prior to the beginning of services?
Joseph Strange: I don't know.
Barry Knight: Pastor Butler will get a chance to rebut.
Joseph Strange: It is my understanding that she had an engineer at that meeting. Was that
not someone from engineering? She is shaking her head yes.
Peggy Sansone: Okay. I don't recall. I apologize.
Joseph Strange: She had an engineer and this engineer was certain they could take care of
this. Our problem was maybe comin"g up with some type of standard where to what
sound- proofing is. I kind of thought if we maybe if she were to agree to something
similar to people who live in the noise zone in Virginia Beach and what they have to do
to their home for sound attenuation that it might be some standard.
Bill Macali: There are different levels of sound attenuation.
Joseph Strange: Oh? There is?
Bill Macali: Yes. It is designed to result in more or less sound being attenuated. I'm not
terribly sure that the same applies to sound going outside the building. The AICUZ
ordinance, or course talks about sound coming out through the sky into the building. I'm
sure the same sound attenuation applies here.
Joseph Strange: That is where our problem lies. I think all of us have been in that
building before because there was an application that was rejected a few years ago. So, I
think at that time most of us had been in that building and were aware of the condition of
the building. I guess it would be up to Pastor Butler to maybe how she would put that in.
See, you kind of have to understand. It was asked in the informal session why would you
be that concerned? People don't realize how close your house is?
Item #16
Zion City of Deliverance Outreach

Peggy Sansone: Exactly.
Joseph Strange: It is real close and you can hear just about anything.
Peggy Sansone: Conversations across the fence. Just normal conversations across the
fence
Joseph Strange: Before, they were going to put in a skateboard ramp. I think this can be
worked out.
Peggy San:;one: Exactly. Like I said, I'm not here in opposition. I think this would be a
wonderful use of the property. They will be wonderful' neighbors.. It is just the noise that
is the issue with us, even when we're talking about the noise inside the building because
with organ music and prayer and song, it can be quite loud. That is what we're worried
about.
Donald Horsley: If the Commission remembers back, we did this with one of the
churches that was in Great Neck. It was some kind of sound attenuation put in that
building. And maybe before this application gets to Council, staff can kind of check into
that and see what could be appropriate matters to use for that.
Carolyn Smith: That was actually for a new addition to the building. They were having
Christian rock bands in that building. I think this is really a completely different scenario.
Donald Horsley: Well, we need some level of comfort for this lady to keep some of that
noise out.
Bill Macali: Mr. Chairman, I think that there is something that the City's building official
is pretty much an expert on, and could certainly help out. I think if staff was just to get
with the building officials and find out what type of sound attenuation would do the trick.
That would get the discussion started.
Joseph Strange: I think one of the people would like to address that issue.
Eugene Crabtree: I'll sponsor her.
Barry Knight: Ma' am? You can come forward. Maybe she can answer some of our
questions.
Sharon Wallace: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Re-identify yourself please ma'am.
Sharon Wallace: My name is Sharon Wallace. I'm a citizen of the Kempsville area. I

am one of the ministers at Zion City of Deliverance. I thank you for letting me come
forward. Hopefully, I can give you a little bit of insight on the sound issue. When we
met with Mr. Stampe, and the lovely people, we were able to work it out and we came
upon an agreement. One of the things that we addressed with them, and even though it
would be extra cost for us, we were going to do two things, we were going to place some
insulated sound buffering insulation between the walls, between where this young lady
lives in the back. Also, there is actually a 30-foot distance between the back wall and the
neighbor's home. What we have also done is we've rearranged some of our internal
designs as far as the retrofitting of the building where we're pulling the pulpit area out'
away from the back wall by about an additional 40 feet in order to accommodate, and try
to address some of the sou9.d issues. So, we've done tho~e two things, which kind of
. pulls it away. In other words, we are not right tpere on the back wall. Another issue is
we're not going to have rock bands and, I don't really know. I guess I'm above that age
now, nothing that is really, really loud. I think what will probably happen is there will
probably hear Chick-fil-a more than they will hear us. So, if there are any questions. I
just wanted to make sure that the Commission was aware of those things.
Barry Knight: Ms. Wood has a question?
Dorothy Wood: Pastor, I'm sure you plan on doing the renovations before you have
services. I don't imagine you will be having people in that building.. I don't think the
City would allow that would they?
Sharon Wallace: No. Absolutely. We have a very good plan. Our pastor was saying that
what we want to do is make the building kind of fit in with the neighborhood. Maf<e it
very pretty and very lovely. Nice landscaping. We realize there is some work to be done.
We've got some pretty faithful workers ready to do it.
Dorothy Wood: I'm sure Ms. Sansone will be delighted to have the building upgraded.
Barry Knight: Mr. Crabtree? Do you have a question?
Eugene Crabtree: No.
Barry Knight: Mr. Henley?
Al Henley: This is just a comment for the pastor. As Mr. Macali has indicated there are
different levels, which you accomplish to address the sound issue. If you would contact
one of the building officials, they are in Permits and Inspections, Department of Planning.
I'm sure they will be more than happy to give you some information and some literature
that would help you. For example, you can go with commercial insulation of 6 inches of
insulation versus the 4 inches of insulation. You can go with thermal payne, window
replacements those are to some degree. If you can contact their expertise, they will be
more than happy to give you some information that will helpful to you.

Sharon Wallace: Yes sir. Thank you very much for the information.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions? Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: I would like to make a motion that the application be approved with the
additional conditions of no services before 6:00 am or after 10:00 pm. No one will reside
on the site. No daycare operation will be conducted and sound attenuation material will
be resolved. Let's leave it at that.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second? Mr. Horsley seconds
it. Is there any discussion?
. Joseph Strange: She has a question.
Barry Knight: I'm sorry.
Pastor Joyce Butler: Yes. So, that I understand are you locking in the 10:00 o'clock
hour.
Joseph Strange: No later than 10:00. Services. You wouldn't have services after 10:00
o'clock at night.
Pastor Joyce Butler: No. On occasions. .
Joseph Strange: Or before 6:00 am. Oh no. There is an understanding from time to time
special events will occur outside the normal hours.
Pastor Joyce Butler: Right.
Joseph Strange: These are pretty normal hours. 6:00 to 10:00 0' clock at night. You are
not going to have too much stuff going on before 6:00 am? I understand.
Pastor Joyce Butler: I didn't want a situation to come up where were vacating the
building. And it may be 10:30 or 10: 15.
Dorothy Wood: But not on a weekly basis?
Pastor Joyce Butler: Right. Thank you.
Barry Knight: There is a motion on the floor and a second to approve made by Joe
Strange and seconded by Don Horsley? Is there any discussion? I'll call for the question.

Subject: ZION CITY OUTREACH AND LAKE JAMES COMMUNITY/ Input for March 14th Meeting
Cc:
On Saturday, March 3rd, several community members of Lake James met with Pastor Butler of Zion 'City Outreach
to discuss the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Application for the church scheduled for March 14th. Lake James
had concerns about the project, but Pastor Butler and members of ~er congregation were able to answer our
questions. A conclusion was reached by Lake James and Zion members about the following conditions:
1. The building must meet the structural standards of the city; the fire standards of the city; and health
standards (rats were seen around the structure in the past).
2. Normal hours of operation would be 9:30 am to noon on Sundays, and from 7:30pm to 9:00 pm on
Wednesday for Bible Study. Lake James understands from time to time special events would occur outside
the normal hours.
3. No one will reside on site; daycare operations will NOT be conducted.
4. Zion stated that attenuation materials will be instaUed to reduce sound levels; we ask that this be a
condition.
5. Repairs of the structure must not be conducted after 8pm.
All parties agreed that Zion must meet the CUP requirements in order to operation, and that Zion would be
responsive to community inputs if/when a problem arises. As of this date, CUP support from the Lake James
neighbors is in the majority.
For C. Smith: Pease ensure this information is provided to the Planning' Commission and City Council.
For Pastor Butler: Good Luck!

Lar,
The above referenced meeting held on March 3 was fruitful. I want to take the opportunity
to express some observations and add my personal input to you as representative of our homeowner's
association. Please include the concerns below with input you may have received from other
homeowners for presentation to the Planning Commission at the public hearing scheduled for
Wednesday, March 14,2007 at 12:00 noon.
1. The Fire Control System; i.e. alarms, sprinklers, extinguishers, etc. must to be updated
and inspected to insure all current City codes for such systems are met.
2. Noise levels and keeping children under adult supervision is a concern. The Hours of
Operation for the facility must be published and not exceed any City restrictions on operating hours
for such a facility.
3. Safety and Health concerns are real. Rats have been observed in the area of the vacant
building as the conditions have deteriorated.
4. All rehabilitation work by contractors addressing the. above conditions must be
completed, and a Certificate of Occupancy must be issued by the City before the facility is occupied
and operational.
5. City must inspect the premises after 1 year, 3years for continued compliance to the above
concerns, and any other City imposed conditions. .
As a homeowner adjacent to and directly behind the property on which the proposed facility
will be located and operating, I generally approve of the proposed outreach facility. The above
items of safety, health issues, and noise levels, are of particular concern to me. Thank you for
including my input with those of other Lake James homeowners.

ITEM: Application of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church for a Conditional Use
Permit for a columbarium on property located at 424 Kings Grant Road (GPIN
1497078145). AICUZ is Less than 65 dB Ldn. DISTRICT 5 - L YNNHAVEN

niches in two (2) connected walls, each eight (8) feet and four (4) inches high. In
addition, memorial plaques are also planned. A garden with benches and a
walkway is depicted on the submitted plan as well. The design of the walls will
mimic the exterior building materials of the existing church.
. Considerations:
The Conditional Use Permit for the columbarium is.acceptable. The proposed

a four (4)-inch concrete cap. A five (5)-foot high decorative fence will enclose the
memorial garden area for security reasons. In conjunction with the project, a
meandering walk with landscaping will serve to enhance the property.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
columbarium will blend with the building materials of the existing church, the use
is consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for this area,
and there was no opposition.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-2 to approve
this request with the following conditions:
1. The location of the columbarium shall be limited to that shown on the
submitted plan entitled "Site Plan for Prince of Peace."

Item # 11
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church
Conditional Use Permit
424 Kings Grant Road
District 5

March 14,2007
CONSENT
Barry Knight: The next item slated for the consent agenda is item 11, Prince of Peace
Lutheran Church. An application of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church for a Conditional
Use Permit for a columbarium on property located at 424 Kings Grant Road, pi strict 5,
Lynnhaven District, with two conditions. Welcome sir.
Doug Rosenvinge: Thank you. I'm Doug Rosenvinge, Pastor of Prince of Peace
Lutheran Church. Again, like everyone else, we appreciate being put on the consent
agenda. We hope this will enhance our ministry.
Barry Knight: Great. You've read and agree to the two conditions?
Doug Rosenvinge: The two conditions are fine.
Barry Knight: Thank you sir. Is there anyone here today that opposes agenda item 11,
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church being placed on the consent agenda? Thank you. Ms.
Dot Wood, would you please explain this one?
Dorothy Wood: I'll be happy to. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as a
primary residential area. The Land Use Planning Policies and Principles for the Primary
Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall character,
economic value and the aesthetic quality of our stable neighborhoods. The Conditional
Use Permit for the columbarium is acceptable. The proposed location is inconspicuous
from any rights-of-way and adjacent residences. The project's design will blend with the
building materials of the existing church and will appear as a decorative wall or fence as
one passes by. In conjunction with the project, a meandering walkway with landscaping
will enhance the property. The staff recommends approval and we think it is a very good
project and happy to put it on our consent agenda.
Barry Knight: Thank you Ms. Wood. Mr. Secretary.
Joseph Strange: Yes. I would like to make a motion that we approve item 11 with two
conditions.
'--
Barry Knight: Thank you. There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second? There is
a second by Mr. Horsley. I'll call for the question.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of T-Mobile Communications CAP Operations, L.L.C. for a
Conditional Use Permit for a communications tower on property located at 4300
Pembroke Boulevard (GPIN 1478826460). AICUZ is Less than 65 dB Ldn.
DISTRICT 4 - BA YSIDE
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of a
wireless communications tower and related equipment on the site of an existing
recreational facility. The proposal is located on property of the Pembroke
Meadows Swim Club owned by the Civic League of Pembroke Meadows. This
site was selected after an extensive search in the area and after the Department
of Public Utilities determined the water tank located off Wishart Road did not
have adequate area to accommodate the support facilities.
. Considerations:
The proposed monopole tower will be 120 feet in height with flush-mounted
antennas located at 117 feet. The tower will provide for two additional carriers to
use the pole as co-locators. An unmanned communications equipment shelter
will be located at the base of the tower. This shelter will be brick with a pitched
roof to complement the existing building. The entire lease area will be
encompassed by a decorative wood privacy fence, six feet in height with an
access gate.
The communications tower has been designed to accommodate up to three (3)
antennas. As required by Section 232 of the City Zoning Ordinance, the applicant
submitted the required structural report indicating that the proposed tower's
design meets the requirements of the International Building Code and a
Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation Report (NIER) indicating that emissions
do not result in ground level exposure at any point outside the facility and is
within compliance with all regulatory agencies and standards. .
Since the property abuts residentially zoned property and is on a residential site,
Section 232(b)(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance stipulates the minimum setback
requirement from the base of the tower to any property line abutting a residential
use or district must be equal to 110 percent of the height of the tower. This would
require the property line to be 132 feet away from the tower. The closest
property line appears to be approximately 138 feet from the tower.
T-Mobile Communications CAP Operations, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 3
Section 232 also specifies that no communication tower may be located closer to
an existing residential structure than the distance equal to 125 percent of the
total height of the tower and antennae. In this application, the provision would
require that the tower should be at least 150 feet from any residential structures.
The existing base of the Dominion Virginia Power tower is shown as 203 feet and
7 inches from the nearest residential dwelling.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they
concluded it is an appropriate site for this use, the proposal meets the standards
in the Zoning Ordinance for communication towers, 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. The tower shall be constructed substantially as shown on the site plans
entitled "T Mobile Northeast. LLC Pembroke Meadows RL VA 50519-B",
prepared by Allpro Consulting Group, Inc., dated 08/15/06 Final. The plans
have been exhibited to City Council and are on file with the Department of
Planning.
2. The tower including antennas shall not exceed 120 feet in height.
3. Landscaping shall be required at the tower site consistent with the
requirements of Section 232(b)(8) of the City Zoning Ordinance.
4. Unless a waiver is obtained from the City of Virginia Beach Department .of
Communications and Information Technology (GOMIT), a radio frequency
emissions study (RF Study), conducted by a qualified engineer licensed to
practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, showing that the intended user(s)
will not interfere with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communic~tions
facilities, shall be provided prior to site plan approval for the tower and all
subsequent users.
5. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities
arises from the use of this tower, the user(s) shall take all measures
reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the
interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time, the user shall
immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference.
6. Should the antennas cease to be used for a period of more than one (1) year,
the applicant shall remove the antennas and their supporting tower and
related equipment.
7. The Director of Planning may allow the installation of a type of antenna
different from that shown on the plans described in Condition 1 if the Director
determines that the proposed antenna type will not result in any undue impact
T-Mobile Communications CAP Operations, L.L.C.
Page 3 of 3 '
beyond the antenna type shown in the submitted plan in the plan described in
Condition 1 and a structural report is submitted from a licensed structural
engineer stating that the tower, with the proposed antennas, meets the
structural standards established by the Electronics Industry Association and
the local building code.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
Evaluation:
The communications tower has been designed to accommodate up to three (3) antennas. As required by
Section 232 of the City Zoning Ordinance, the applicant submitted the required structural report indicating
that the proposed tower's design meets the requirements of the International Building Code and a
Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation Report (NIER) indicating that emissions do not result in ground
level exposure at any point outside the facility and is within compliance with all regulatory agencies and
standards.
Since the property abuts residentially zoned property and is on a residential site, Section 232(b)(1) of the
City Zoning Ordinance stipulates the minimum setback requirement from the base of the tower to any
property line abutting a residential use or district must be equal to 110 percent of the height of the tower.
This would require the property line to be 132 feet away from the tower. The closest property line
appears to be approximately 138 feet from the tower.
Section 232 also specifies that no communication tower may be located closer to an existing residential
structure than the distance equal to 125 percent of the total height of the tower and antennae. In this
application, the provision would require that the tower should be at least 150 feet from any residential
structures. The existing base of the Dominion Virginia Power tower is shown as 203 feet and 7 inches
from the nearest residential dwelling.
It is staff's opinion that this proposal would provide a needed service to the community, is not intrusive to
the visual aesthetics of the community, and meets the criteria for tower location specified in Section 232
of the City Zoning Ordinance.
The recommended conditions are provided below.
CONDITIONS
1. The tower shall be constructed substantially as shown on the site plans entitled "T Mobile Northeast.

Final. The plans have been exhibited to City Council and are on file with the Department of Planning.
2. The tower including antennas shall not exceed 120 feet in height.
3. Landscaping shall be required at the tower site consistent with the requirements of Section 232(b)(8)
of the City Zoning Ordinance.
4. Unless a waiver is obtained from the City of Virginia Beach Department of Communications and
Information Technology (COMIT), a radio frequency emissions study (RF Study), conducted by a
qualified engineer licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia, showing that the intended
user(s) will not interfere with any City of Virginia Beach emergency communications facilities, shall be
provided prior to site plan approval for the tower and all subsequent users.
5. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities arises from the use of this
tower, the user(s) shall take all measures reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the
interference. If the interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time, the user shall
immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference.
6. Should the antennas cease to be used for a period of more than one (1) year, the applicant shall
remove the antennas and their supporting tower and related equipment.
7. The Director of Planning may allow the installation of a type of antenna different from that shown on
the plans described in Condition 1 if the Director determines that the proposed antenna type will not
result in any undue impact beyond the antenna type shown in the submitted plan in the plan described
in Condition 1 and a structural report is submitted from a licensed structural engineer stating that the
tower, with the proposed antennas, meets the structural standards established by the Electronics
Industry Association and the local building code.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances.
Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to
meet all applicable City Codes and Standards.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police
Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
(CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Carol Case for a Conditional Use Permit for a Home-Based
Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility on property located at 113 Matt Lane (GPIN
2407743456). AICUZ is Greater than 75 dB Ldn (Accident Potential Zone 1).
DISTRICT 6 - BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for a Home-Based Wildlife
Rehabilitation Facility to care for injured and orphaned wildlife animals. The
applicant was granted a Use Permit in 2006 for a Home Occupation to allow her
use of the site for wildlife rehabilitation. The City Council, however, granted the
Use Permit for six months, instructing the staff to work with the wildlife
rehabilitators in the city and the SPCA to (1) develop an amendment to the City
Zoning Ordinance that addresses this use and (2) to seek a site in an appropriate
area of the city for a permanent wildlife rehabilitation facility where animals could
be transferred to and cared for. Since that time, Staff has met with the
rehabilitators and the SPCA, and an amendment to the City Zoning Ordinance
has been developed and is proposed as a separate item on the same agenda as
this Use Permit request. Additionally, Staff has been searching for a site for a
permanent facility, and believes that one of the sites in the Interfacility Traffic
Area (ITA) identified for potential acquisition could satisfy that need. Private
sector funding for development of the facility is, however, needed.
. Considerations:
The applicant has been a rehabilitator for more than five years, and is licensed
through the State of Virginia, Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The
applicant is also associated with the Virginia Beach SPCA Wildlife prog'ram. The
applicant specializes in the rehabilitation of ducks, geese, squirrels, opossums,
and occasionally rabbits.
There are no set days or hours of operation. The SPCA brings animals to the
applicant daily, and the general public brings animals at various times of the day.
The peak season is April through August. Most animals are contained outdoors
in the rear yard. Some baby animals and birds are housed indoors. The number
of animals varies from month to month.
The pens and aviary all have hay bedding, which is cleaned out once a week
with spot cleaning of excess droppings at least every other day. The ponds are
Carol Case
Page 2 of 3
drained and cleaned weekly, and chlorinated to reduce the potential for odors
and mosquito breeding.
The applicant provides this service on a strictly volunteer basis. She has no
employees. She does not expect to increase the number of pens and cages
beyond the number that currently exists.
The proposal, with the conditions below, is compatible with the adjacent
residential neighborhood and the business areas. The applicant is licensed by
the State of Virginia as an animal rehabilitator. She provides a valued service to
the community. The conditions recommended below are consistent with the
standards contained in the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment and will
ensure minimal impact of the use on the surrounding residential area.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-2 to approve
this 'request with the following conditions:
1. All structures, buildings, or cages used for the shelter of animals shall comply
with the dimensional requirements of the R-5D Residential District, provided
that cages or other wildlife confinement areas shall not occupy more than a
total ot20% of the backyard. Structures in which animals are confined shall
not exceed eight (8) feet in height.
2. A five-foot (5'-0") wide organic mulch planting bed four to six inches (4" - 6") in
depth along the perimeter of the activity shall be provided and the planting
beds shall be enhanced with landscape plantings.
3. All animals shall be kept or maintained in such manner that a nuisance is not
generated by insects, excessive odor, dust, noise, or other conditions
deemed by the Zoning Administrator to be detrimental to the community
health, safety and welfare.
4. Removal of all waste, including medical waste, shall be conducted daily in
accordance with the provisions of Section 31-7 of the Code of the City of
Virginia Beach.
5. The applicant shall hold a valid Category I or Category II A or B Wildlife
Rehabilitation permit from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries, and a migratory bird wildlife rehabilitation permit issued by the
United States Fish and Wildlife Service if the applicant intends to continue
rehabilitation of such birds.
6. Only species for which the applicant holds current state and federal permits
shall be kept in such a facility for more than twenty - four (24) hours. All
animals not authorized to be kept pursuant to such permits shall be
transported to an appropriate Wildlife Rehabilitation Center or a Home-Based
Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility where long-term care is permitted within twenty
Carol Case
Page 3 of 3
- four (24) hours of receipt of such animal.
7. The applicant shall not keep a greater number of animals at anyone time
than those for which the applicant maintains adequate caging as required by
the applicable state or federal permit or permits held by the applicant.
8. Removal of dead animals shall be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5-14 of the Code of the City of Virginia Beach.
9. There shall be no signs pertaining to the use on the property other than one
(1) non-illuminated sign, not to exceed one (1) square foot in area, that may
provide identification of the facility, notice to the public of any potential
hazards related to the operation of the facility, and notice to the public of
basic instructions for delivery of sick, injured, orphan'ed, or displaced wildlife.
10. Upon one (1) year from the date of approval, the Zoning Administrator shall
administratively review the Conditional Use Permit. If, at such time, the
Zoning Administrator determines that the use needs additional consideration,
based upon complaints or noncompliance with the conditions, the Conditional
Use Permit will be referred back to the Planning Commission and City
Council. In the event that no valid complaints have been made, the
Conditional Use Permit shall remain in effect. .

Item #21
Carol Case
Conditional Use Permit
113 Matt Lane
District 6
Beach
March 14, 2007
REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next application is agenda item 21, Carol Case. An application of
Carol Case for a Conditional Use Permit for a Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation
. Facility on property located at 113 Matt Lane, District 6, Beach, with 11 conditions.
Barry Knight: Welcome ma' am. Please state your name for the record.
Carol Case: Good afternoon. I'm Carol Case. I'm here before you to apply for the
Conditional Use Permit for a continuance thereof. I've gone through all the conditions
that have been set forth, and I have met and will adhere to all conditions 1 through 11. I
am under the understanding that condition #8 will be changed to meet the ordinance to
the 180 days instead of the 60 days. I've been informed that there have been no other
complaints since the last time I was before you. I've spent several days cleaning out. I
believe there was an issue of some clutter in my backyard, which has been cleaned up. I
have a few other things that will be taken of by the time trash is picked up next week. I
have plantings that will be delivered to me within the next two weeks that will meet your
approval, and that will exactly help and maybe even conceal some of the pens that are in
my backyard to make it a little more pleasant for the neighborhood. I have reduced all my
petting and caging to meet the 20 percent 9r less of my backyard.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Are there any questions? Mr. Crabtree?
Eugene Crabtree: I've got a couple of questions. Of course, you were at the meeting that
I was when we did this. The ordinance says that 20 percent of your property can be used
for cages. I was under the understanding that met that 20 percent of the backyard, 20
percent of the house, 20 percent of the front yard. If we were to take 20 percent of your
entire property, it would give you scabs and scabs of animals.
Carol Case: Honestly sir, with what I have, I would be within 20 percent of my backyard.
Eugene Crabtree: Your backyard, if I calculate it right from looking at this, is
approximately 840 square feet, somewhere in there and maybe 900 square feet in the
backyard. This would give you, depending on what animals. Are you still just ducks,
geese, squirrels, possums and sometimes rabbits?
Carol Case: Correct.
Item #21
Carol Case
Page 2
Eugene Crabtree: Are those the things that you are licensed for by the State?
Carol Case: Yes sir.
Eugene Crabtree: Okay. So, that means that those are the only ones. Ijust wanted to
clarify. Condition #1 says that a total of 1,612 square feet is 20 percent. That is 20
percent of your total lot? That is not 20 percent of your backyard. I would like to have
that condition amended to say that 20 percent of the backyard, which is approximately
900 square feet. I think that would fit in real good with what you're doing.
Carol Case: Yes. I am underneath that right now with what I have done.
Eugene Crabtree: Yes ma'am. Ijust wanted to clarify that because the other numbers
come out to be horrendous. Like 179 cases for ducks if you were to have nothing but
ducks if you used the entire area.
Carol Case: I don't have the time.
Eugene Crabtree: Also, last year, when City Council granted you the permit, one of the
things that they said was that working with City that the wildlife rehabilitators would try
to find a source for a wildlife rehabilitation center. That would be one of the things that
they would be looking for. I don't know whether or not we addressed this totally or not.
Have you looked, or has the ASPCA researched, the feasibility of getting a larger center
than in eastern Virginia? I understand that there hasn't been anything not been done on
that yet, yet City Council said that they wanted it done. I'm a little concerned with that. I
would like to see the rehabilitators get together and pursue this a little bit more diligently
than what has been done in the past. Other than that, I think those are my only comments.
That is the only thing that I have.
Barry Knight: Are there any other questions of Ms. Case at this time? Thank you ma'am.
Mr. Strange?
Joseph Strange: We have one person speaking in opposition; E.M. Raines. (E.M. Raines
not present).
Barry Knight: That is all the speakers. I'll open it up for discussion or a motion. Mr.
Crabtree, I'm going to put it on you.
Eugene Crabtree: I just about said what I wanted to.
Barry Knight: The Chair will entertain a motion from Mr. Crabtree.
Eugene Crabtree: I will make a motion that we approve it with the changes in the
conditions as so stated.
Item #21
Carol Case
Page 3
Barry Knight: Okay. So change in condition #1 is 20 percent of her backyard, which is
approximately 900 feet, and you would like to delete condition #8 because that is already
covered.
Eugene Crabtree: That is covered in the state laws. Yes.
Barry Knight: A motion on the floor? Do I have a second?
Dorothy Wood: I'll second it.
Barry Knight: A motion on the floor by Gene Crabtree and seconded by Dot Wood. Is
there any further discussion? I'll call for the question.

Conclusions of the survey of wildlife centers in the United States
. Centers receiving less than 500 wildlife cases in a year were home based and one
third of those transfer to other home based rehabilitators
. Centers receiving 500 to 3000 wildlife cases yearly all used home based
rehabilitators
. Centers receiving 3000-6000 wildlife cases yearly used home based rehabilitators
with the exception of two who had large numbers of daily volunteers
. Wildlife transfers ranged from 25%-75% of their patient load depending on the
species. Small mammals and small birds were transferred jn higher numbers
. The Wildlife Center of Virginia refers many calls directly to home based
rehabilitators as well as transfers orphans to them. Amanda Nicholson responded
". . . . while we take in hundreds of orphans a year, we would not be able to take
care of all of them without transferring them to a home based rehabilitator. At
home rehabbers are able to care for small orphans around the clock-something we
can't do at the center. For tiny newborn animals, this is essential !"
i
'~
. The Willowbrook Wildlife Center is among the larger centers that does not
transfer to the home based rehabilitator. However, they stated ""The home based
rehabilitator is extremely important. We rely on the home based operations as a
referral for species of animals that we do not treat at our center."
. The Paws Wildlife Center stated "we tend to transfer some of the more delicate
species. We feel those species will do better with the one-to-one care provided
by the home based rehabilitator."
. Several Wisconsin wildlife centers including the Wisconsin Humane Society
Wildlife Center stated that the home based rehabilitator is "critically important
to our wildlife rehabilitation program! We could not handle anywhere near the
number of animals people in our community bring to us for care if we did not
have home based rehabilitators able to take some of our animals!". Another
center stated, "we have found that the critters raised by our home based
volunteers become wilder faster."

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Sandler at Brenneman Farm, L.L.C. for a Modification of the
Brenneman Farm land Use Plan to change the designated land use from carriage
homes to two-story attached dwelling units. Property is located at the southeast
terminus of Brenneman Trail (GPIN 1476715481). AICUZ is less than 65 dB ldn.
DISTRICT 2 - KEMPSVillE
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background:
The request is for a Modification to the PD-H2 Land Use Plan approved by the
City Council on September 9, 2003, for the former Brenneman Farm property
adjacent to the new portion of S. Plaza Trail between Princess Anne Road and S.
Independence Boulevard. The requested modification is to change the type of
housing from carriage homes to two (2)-story townhomes. No change in number
of units is proposed.
Condominium Parcel C, as identified on the original plan as the location of the
carriage homes, totals 17.8 acres. Access is provided from the Brenneman Trail
right-of-way. The existing proffers limit the number of dwelling units to 128. The
request is to replace 53 of the units with two (2)-story townhouse units, similar to
townhouses constructed on Parcel A to the west.
. Considerations:
Proffer 1 of the 2003 application requires the development to follow the
Brenneman Farm Development Manual dated July 18, 2003, which depicts
carriage homes on the parcel in question. While the applicant is satisified with
the carriage homes, the modification is requested because the homes are not
selling as well as anticipated. Since the models have opened in July, 2006, only
13 units have sold. According to the applicant, this is primarily due to the price
point, which is directly related to the square footage of the units. The square
footage range of the three (3) story carriage homes is 2,413 square feet to 2,839
square feet of heated living space. '
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
request results in no increase in density, the quality of the proposed dwelling type
is equivalent to the originally approved type, and there was no opposition.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 8-0 with 1
abstention to approve this request, as proffered.

Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the submitted proffers. The proffers are provided below.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as a Primary Residential Area. The land use planning
policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting the
overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area.
The proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area.
Evaluation:
. The existing proffered plan depicts 128 carriage house dwelling units only on Parcel C. Parcel C's layout
is reminiscent of neo-traditional site planning and consists of rear-loaded, single-family dwellings attached
in the rear by a double-car garage. This request for a Modification to the Land Use Plan is to replace 53
of the attached single-family dwellings with 53, two (2)-story townhouse units, similar to townhouses
constructed on Parcel A to the west. The two (2)-story town home elevation, proposed to replace 53 of the
carriage homes, is architecturally compatible with the three (3)-story carriage home elevation; however,
the square footage of the two (2)-story townhomes is a bit less, with 1,916 square feet to 2,044 square
feet, which allows the applicant to introduce a lower price point. The applicant plans to continue to market
and sell the three (3)-story carriage homes (76 total units). It is hoped that the introduction of the two (2)-
story town homes will create additional activity and interest in this section of the larger development. The
request as proffered is acceptable and is recommended for approval.
PROFFERS
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The
applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these
proffers in an attempt to "offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable,"
(~1 07(h)(1 )). Should this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve
as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.
PROFFER 1:
The Land Use Plan shall be modified and revised so that the portion of the Property shown and describe as
"Area Proposed for 2 Story Attached Units" on Sheets 1 and 2 of the conceptual site plan of Lexington (the
"Lexington Townhouse Section"), which has been exhibited to the City Council and is on file with Planning
Department, may be developed for two-story attached dwelling units, instead of carriage homes, as originally
shown and depicted in the Land Use Plan and the Manual.
PROFFER 2:
The total number of two-story attached dwelling units constructed within the Lexington Townhouse Area
shall not exceed fifty-three (53) units.

Item #12
Sandler at Brenneman Farm, L.L.c.
Modification of the Brenneman Farm Land Use Plan
Southwest terminus of Brenneman Trail
District 2
Kempsville
March 14, 2007
CONSENT
Barry Knight: Our next item slated for the consent agenda is Sandler at Brenneman
Farm, L.L.c. An application of Sandler at Brenneman Farm, L.L.c. for the Modification
of the Brenneman Farm Land Use Plan to change the designated land use from carriage
homes to two-story attached dwellings. The property is located at the southeast terminus
of Brenneman Trail, District 2, Kempsville District, with eight proffers. This is not the
Renaissance Park, which I'm sure speakers are here for but this is a separate application.
Welcome ma' am.
Katherine Holder: Good afternoon. My name is Katherine Holder. I'm with L.M.
Sandler & Sons. First, I would like to thank the Planning staff for working with me on
this application, and thank. you for placing it on the consent agenda. I also have with me
the builder of Chesapeake Homes, if there are any general questions for him. One
correction, if I could, on the application? There was a math error. I will take full
responsibility. There are actually 53 units that we propose to change to the two-story and
75 that would remain the three-story carriage homes. Our math didn't quite add. So the
correct number is 53 and 75.
Barry Knight: Thank you. And you have read the eight conditions and you concur?
Katherine Holder: Yes sir.
Barry Knight: Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone here today to object to item 12, Sandler
at Brenneman Farms, L.L.c. from being placed on the consent agenda? If not. Thank
you. Mr. Al Henley, would you speak in this please?
Al Henley: The request is for a modification of a land use plan to change the designated
land use from carriage homes to two-story town homes. There are no changes in the
numbers of units that are proposed. A Conditional Rezoning to A-12 with a PD-H2
Overlay was approved by City Council on September 9, '2003. The Conditional Rezoning
has 15 proffers. This request for a modification of land use replaces 53 of the attached
single family dwellings with 53 two-story town homes, similar to the townhouses that are
on Parcel A to the west. It is hoped that the introduction of these two-story town homes
will create additional activity and interest in this section of the larger development. The
c=:::- request as proffered is acceptable and recommended for approval by the Planning staff,

therefore, the Planning Commission is placing this on the consent agenda, and we are
happy to do so. Thank you.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Henley. Mr. Secretary.
Joseph Strange: Yes. I would like to make a motion that we approve item 12 with eight
proffers.
Barry Knight: Thank you. There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second? There is
a second by Mr. Horsley. Mr. Redmond?
David Redmond: Mr. Chairman, I will be voting in favor of the items on the consent
agenda. However, I would like to provide the caveat and I will specifically be abstaining
from item 12, Sandler at Brenneman Farms. I have an existing business relationship with
the applicant L.M. Sandler & Sons, Inc. This requires me to abstain from that item.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Is there any other discussion? I'll call for the question.

WIT N E SSE T H:
WHEREAS, the Grantor has initiated an amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of

and adopted as part ofthe Land Use Plan by the City Council (the "Manual"); and

Virginia Beach, VA 23462
WHEREAS, the Grantors acknowledge that the competing and sometimes incompatible
uses conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the subject Property
and at the same time to recognize the effects of the 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 the
situation to which the Grantors' rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Grantors have voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and prior to
the public hearing before th~ Grantee, as part of the proposed conditional amendment to the
. .
Zoning Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the existing A-12 and PD-H2 zoning
districts by the City's Zoning Ordinance (CZO), the following reasonable conditions related to
the physical development, operation and use of the Property to be adopted as a part of said
amendment to the new Zoning Map relative to the Property, all of which have a reasonable
relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning; and
WHEREAS, said conditions having been proffered by the Grantors and allowed and
accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, such conditions shall
continue in full force and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning on the
Property covered by such conditions; provided, however, that such conditions shall continue
despite a subsequent amendment if the subsequent amendment is part of the comprehensive
implementation of a new or substantially revised zoning ordinance, unless, notwithstanding the
foregoing, these conditions are amended or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia and executed by t~e record
owner of the subject Property at the time of recordation of such instrument; provided, further,
that said instrument is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of
ordinance or resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee advertised pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-
2204, which said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with said instrument as
conclusive evidence of such consent; and
2
WHEREAS, certain covenants and restrictions governing the Property were adopted by
the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach on July 24, 2003, as part of the Land Use Plan,
which covenants and restrictions have been recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of

and
WHEREAS, Grantor desires to modify certain of the Existing Proffers related to that
portion of the Property to be developed as two-story, attached dwelling units, without affecting or
changing the Existing Proffers with respect to the remainder of the Property;
NOW THEREFORE, the Grantors, for themselves, their successors, assigns, grantees,
and other successors in title or interest, voluntarily and without any requirement by or exaction
,
from the Grantee or its governing body and without any element of compulsion of quid pro quo
for zoning, rezoning, site plan, building permit or subdivision approval, hereby make the
following declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall restrict and govern the physical
development, operation and use of the Property and hereby covenant and agreetp,at these Proffers
shall constitute covenants running with the said Property, which shall be binding upon the
Property and upon all parties and persons claiming under or through the Grantors, their heirs,

Virginia Beach, VA 23453
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen;
Although we have been frequent contributors to the SPCA, I had not had the opportunity
to visit the Virginia Beach facility. This week, we found on our lawn, a very small
animal with eyes not yet open and unable to stand on its feet.
The newborn was taken to your facility, where it was placed in an incubator and the
wildlife rehabilitation service activated. The ladies tending the front desk were
personable, knowledgeable, helpful and reassuring about the prospects for this very small
creature identified as a 3-5 day old raccoon.
Shortly, a lady from the rehab group reported that she was on her way to pick up the
animal and later called to report that the animal was at its new home and in good
condition. She thanked us for bringing the animal in and said it would be well cared-for
until releasable into the habitat.
With wetlands on our property, we have learned the enjoyment of having wildlife amidst
us, and greatly appreciate the obvious sincerity and care offered them by the volunteer
workers and employees at the Virginia Beach SPCA. We will increase our contributions
in an effort to respond to the growing needs of animal care and to recognize the
outstanding service provided them at your facility.
By copy of this letter to Mayor Obemdorf ~d the City Council, we want to emphasize
the importance of this service provided the taxpayers of the citylcounty and the
importance of their continued support to the wildlife rehabilitation program.
Thank you again for making this day an emotionally rewarding one for us.
Sincerely,

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance amending Sections 111, 401,501,801,901 and 1001 and
adding Sections 242.3 and 242.4 of the City Zoning Ordinance defining "Home-
Based Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility," "Wildlife Rehabilitation Center," and
"Wildlife," and establishing specific standards for such uses and zoning districts
in which such uses are permitted.
MEETING DATE: April 24, 2007
. Background:
In 2005 and 2006, applications for use permits for wildlife rehabilitation as a
home occupation were reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and
the City Council. During the discussion of the last such application, the City
Council directed the staff to work with the wildlife rehabilitators in the city and the
Virginia Beach SPCA to develop an amendment to the City Zoning Ordinance
that would regulate wildlife rehabilitation. The attached amendment is the result
of staffs work with these groups.
. Considerations:
The proposed amendment creates two classes of Wildlife Rehabilitation
Facilities:
1. The "Home -Based Rehabilitation Facility" is the level at which most
rehabilitators working from their home will fall. Such a facility is any
location where care is regularly given to sick, injured, orphaned, or
displaced wildlife on a temporary basis. Wildlife means any mammal, bird,
reptile or amphibian listed on the Virginia Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries' list of native and naturalized fauna of Virginia.
2. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center class is a professionally-operated facility
with an on-site veterinary staff where care is regularly given to sick,
injured, orphaned, or displaced wildlife on an extended basis until such
wildlife is able to return to its native habitat.
The amendment then specifies the districts where each type of facility is allowed
and the standards to be used in evaluating an application. The standards
correspond to a significant extent to those of a Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit
issued by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, or a migratory
bird wildlife rehabilitation permit issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service for said purpose. Thus, just as with child care facilities that are regulated
by both the City's Use Permit provisions and the State's licensing requirements,
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH - WILDLIFE REHABILITATION ORDINANCE
Page 2 of 2
wildlife rehabilitators will be regulated by both the City's Use Permit provisions
and the State and Federal government's licensing requirements.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0 to approve
this amendment.

REQUEST:
An Ordinance amending Sections 111, 401, 501, 801, 901 and 1001 and adding Sections 242.3 and
242.4 of the City Zoning Ordinance defining "Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility," 'Wildlife
Rehabilitation Center," and 'Wildlife," and establishing specific standards fro such uses and zoning
districts in which such uses are permitted.
UPDATE:
This request was deferred at the January 10, 2007 Planning Commission hearing to provide time for staff
and the wildlife rehabilitators to meet with a sub-committee of the Planning Commission for a discussion
pertaining to several aspects of the proposal. That meeting was held, and the attached revised
amendment is the outcome of the discussions !rom that meeting and subsequent discussions and email
correspondence.
SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT
In 2005 and 2006, applications for use permits for wildlife rehabilitation as a home occupation were
reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council. During the discussion of the
last such application, the City Council directed the staff to work with the wildlife rehabilitators in the city
and the Virginia Beach SPCA to develop an amendment to the City Zoning Ordinance that would regulate
wildlife rehabilitation. The attached amendment is the result of staff's work with these groups.
The proposed amendment creates two classes of Wildlife Rehabilitation Facilities:
1. The "Home -Based Rehabilitation Facility" is the level at which most rehabilitators working from
their home will fall. Such a facility is any location where care is regularly given to sick, injured,
orphaned, or displaced wildlife on a temporary basis. Wildlife means any mammal, bird, reptile or

2. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center class is a professionally-operated facility with an on-site

The amendment then specifies the districts where each type of facility is allowed and the standards to be
used in evaluating an application. The standards correspond to a significant extent to those of a Wildlife
Rehabilitation Permit issued by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, or a migratory bird

just as with child care facilities that are regulated by both the City's Use Permit provisions and the State's
licensing requirements, wildlife rehabilitators will be regulated by both the City's Use Permit provisions
and the State and Federal government's licensing requirements.
A copy of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries regulations are attached to this report.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the amendment, as it provides the opportunity for these types of facilities
to be reviewed to ensure that they are compatible with their surrounding area. Staff, the wildlife
rehabilitation community, and a Planning Commission committee have worked to craft an ordinance that
ensures such compatibility while offering an opportunity for the healing of injured and orphaned wildlife
found within the city.

COMMENTS
The amendments to this section establish definitions for "Home-Based Wildlife
Rehabilitation Facility," "Wildlife" and "Wildlife Rehabilitation Center." Home-Based Wildlife
Rehabilitation Facilities are intended to provide care for sick, injured, orphaned or displaced
wildlife on a limited basis, primarily serving as a place where animals can be received and provided
care for short duration, and release or transfer. Longer term care for wildlife is intended to be
provided after transfer to another location, such as a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

WILDLIFE REHABILITATION PERMIT CONDITIONS
All persons caring for sick, injured, orphaned, or displaced wild animals are required to have a permit from the
Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
The primary goal of the permittee is to return injured or orphaned native animals to their natural habitat, as quickly as possible,
providing them with a reasonable chance to function and behave normally within its population and ecosystem.
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is not liable for any injuries or damage caused by wildlife
held under the authority of this permit. Applicants should possess sufficient liability insurance to cover any
situations that may occur due to their neglect.
. PERMIT PROCESS
When the Permitting Section of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) receives a call from an individual wanting
to become a rehabilitator, they are sent a copy of these conditions and requested to contact the Agency if and when they want to continue
with the process. 'W"'hen the individual is ready to become a rehabilitator, VDGIF win record the name, address, county, and phone numbers
for the person seeking the permit. VDGIF will also record if the caller is seeking the permit as a sponsored apprentice, a care provider, an
individual with at least two years of experience, an incorporated or insured organization, or as a professional facility with an on-site
veterinarian. If the individual wishes to be a Category IV care provider, they are mailed an application. For other categories, VDGIF
initiates a 30-day process. Starting at the date of the call as day 0, VDGIF law enforcement officers will try to inspect the individual's
facilities between day 6 and day 20. If the individual is not prepared for an inspection within 5 working days of the time they are contacted
by an officer to set up an appointment, they will be automatically denied and must contact the Permitting Section when they are ready to
initiate the process again. If the individual is preliminarily approved by the officer during the site inspection, then the applicant will be
given a Wildlife Rehabilitator Application and Permit Conditions by the Warden and be instructed to mail their signed application with the
required fee to the Permit Section. They will be reminded to apply for and enclose a copy of their federal permit to VDGIF to be considered
for rehabilitation of migratory birds or waterfowl. When the completed Wildlife Rehabilitator Application is received by VDGIF, the
Permitting Section will routinely issue the permit within two weeks or send a letter indicating denial to the applicant. If an incomplete
application is received, all materials and the check will be returned with a form letter of explanation.
CATEGORIES
Wildlife Rehabilitation Permits are issued in four (4) categories and are defined as follows:
A Categorv I (Apprentice) permit is for an individual with entry level skills who has less than two years of rehabilitation
experience. He/She must be sponsored by a Category II or Category III permittee to apply and must satisfy educational
requirements. His/Her work is under the direct supervision of the sponsoring Category II, or Category III permittee, and is
generally limited to uninjured, orphaned wildlife. This permit requires a facilities inspection by a representative of the Virginia
Department of Game and Inland Fisheries as well as proof of immunization if necessary. For Category I's to be allowed to
rehabilitate migratory birds and waterfowl, their sponsors must contact the USFWS in writing requesting that the Category I be
covered by their federal permit to rehabilitate migratory birds and waterfowl.
A Category IIA (Individual), or Categorv lIB (Organization), permit is for those with advanced skills who have more than two
years of rehabilitation, or equivalent, wildlife care experience. Applicants must satisfy educational requirements annually. They
must work in cooperation with a licensed veterinarian and may provide care for all wildlife (except golden eagles and threatened
or endangered species )(See attached list on pages 15 - 18), providing that their animal holding facilities meet standard
requirements and have passed inspection by the Department and that they have received the appropriate immunizations if
necessary.
Category IIA (Individual) is an individual meeting all of the Category II criteria.
c=:::::...
Category lIB (Organization) is an incorporated and insured organization meeting the Category II criteria.
May 27, 2003
Page I
A Categorv III (Professional) permit is generally for a professionally operated facility with an on-site veterinary staff. They may
provide care for all types of wildlife providing that holding facilities meet standard requirements. Only Category III facilities may
provide care for threatened or endangered species and golden eagles.
A Categorv IV (Care Provider) may provide direct care for, and may come into contact with, wildlife at the facility of a Category
I, II, or III permittee, when direct supervision is not available at that facility. (Example: A Category II goes on vacation and needs
someone to provide care to the animals at their facility. The Category IV would be qualified to render this assistance.) The Care
Provider may not care for animals in their own home. Therefore, this individual would not need to have a facility inspection
performed by VDGIF nor shall they need a sponsor. The permittee would need to satisfy the State's pre-permitting and annual
educational requirements. They must also be pre-immunized if they are to be working with high risk rabies species. Individuals
providing care to raptors, predatory animals, or animals requiring unusual expertise, would need to have advanced skills and
provide proof that they have met the certification requirements necessary for the level of care they are providing. (Individuals at
whose permitted facility the Category IV is assisting, must contact the USFWS in writing requesting that the Category IV be
covered by their federal permit to rehabilitate migratory birds and waterfowl.)
Transporters do not need an individual permit. A Category II or III permittee may designate individuals to act under their permits
as "Transporters." As noted in the permit conditions, the authority of "Transporters" is limited to retrieval and delivery of animals
directly to a Category I, a Category II A or B, or a Category III permittee, or to approved release points when rehabilitation is
complete.
At this time, Staff (paid employees) or Volunteers do not need an individual permit if they are working under the direct
supervision of a Category II or III, m the Category II or Ill's facility. However, if these individuals are providing care on their
own, andlor coming into contact with the wildlife::, VDGIF strongly recommends that these individuals become permitted as a
Category IV Care Provider. If they wish to care for wildlife on their own property or at their residence, regardless of the source of
the wildlife or the duration of the care provided, they need to be permitted as at least a Category I.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. All wildlife possessed under the authority of this permit shall remain the property of the State of Virginia and under the primary
jurisdiction of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF).
2, All persons caring for sick, injured, orphaned, or displaced wildlife are required to have a permit from the VDGIF.
3. Consent must be obtained from the VDGIF prior to the disposition or dispersal of any wildlife, their carcasses, parts, products, or
progeny thereof, possessed under the provisions of this permit (except as provided by 4a, 4b, and 4c).
4. The legal disposition of wildlife, their carcasses, parts, products, or progeny thereof, shall be as follows:
a. Species of native wildlife that recover and are not permanently impaired shall be returned to the wild. Rehabilitated
animals, except high-risk rabies animals and rl;eer, should be returned to the area in which they were found or in the
county in which they were rehabilitated. High-risk rehabilitated rabies animals must be released in the county in which
they were rehabilitated; they cannot be transported across county lines, except when specifically allowed by the Director
of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Deer must be released in the county in which they were rehabilitated or
in an adjacent county, except when specifically allowed by the Director of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
Non-native species shall not be released into the wild but should be placed in a suitable captive environment. Non-
native animals are defined as those species and subspecies of animals not naturally occurring in Virginia. Native reptiles
and amphibians that have been rehabilitated should not be released prior to contacting VDGIF due to genetic, disease,
and ecological concerns.
b.
In order to possess permanently impaired migratory birds, a Special Purpose Possession Permit m':lst be obtained from
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (See address and phone # in condition 7 below) and VDGIF must be notified of the
intent and reason for holding this wildlife and must be in concurrence with the stated purpose. VDGIF must also be
notified if the status or disposition of the wildlife changes. As only a limited number of permanently impaired birds may
be maintained under the federal permit, other wildlife should be placed in a mutually acceptable facility. All permanently
impaired wildlife shall be kept in enclosures that meet, or exceed, the minimum pen specifications. Migratory birds may
not be taken to nonpermitted individuals unless prior permission is obtained from the VDGIF. The possession of these
permanently impaired birds by non-exhibitors and not for educational purposes must be directly tied to the rehabilitation
of other wildlife. Ifthe permanently impaired migratory birds are federally threatened or endangered or a golden eagle,
and the rehabilitator has a proven need to possess the bird(s) for noneducational purposes, they will need a Virginia
Endangered Species Permit, a Federal Special Purpose Possession Permit, and if applicable, a Federal Eagle Exhibition
Permit.

c. Wildlife that dies while in the custody of the permittee shall be buried or incinerated, or upon prior approval from the
VDGIF, be offered to a mutually acceptable museum, university, or other institution for addition to its study collection,
d. Non-releasable wildlife should be humanely destroyed (euthanized) unless it can be placed in a facility operating with an
exhibitors permit issued from the VDGIF. Rehabilitators must remember that animals with visible deformities may not
be exhibited and should be euthanized.
e. Wildlife that suffer from zoonotic diseases should not be rehabilitated if they pose a threat to humans or other wildlife.
'"
5. All permittees shall keep records of wildlife in their care. A log shall be maintained for "all" wildlife entering the facility for
treatment, and a record of their progress and disposition is mandatory. These records shall be submitted in a summarized report to
the VDGIF at the end of the permitting year by January 31, or upon request. (A reporting form is enclosed on page 19) Failure to
remit this report may result in revocation, cancellation, suspension, or non-renewal of an individual's permit.
6. All permittees must attend at least six (6) hours of approved continuing education related to wildlife rehabilitation annually.
7. This permit is not valid for possession of migratory birds unless accompanied by a Federal Special Purpose Rehabilitation Permit
issued by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. [Contact the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Offic.e, Assistant Regional Director, Division
of Law, at P. O. Box 779, Hadley, MA 01035-0779 or call (413) 253-8643.]
8. Housing: All wildlife shall be kept in a humane and sanitary manner as prescribed by the VDGIF. (See Basic Requirements for
Housing of Wild Animals) (To minimize disease potential, cages that are used for transporting or holding raccoons, should not be
utilized for other species.)
9. Safety: Facilities must provide for the safety of confined wildlife as prescribed by the VDGIF. (See Minimum Housing
Guidelines)
10. Humane: Wildlife shall be maintained in a humane and uncrowded manner. The permittee shall ensure that wildlife is kept in
compatible groups and that all specimens are fed appropriate food.
11. Inspection: Duly authorized employees of the VDGIF or the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service may inspect the permittee's premises
at any time to determine whether or not the permittee is complying with these conditions.
12. The permittee shall consider human health and safety first, including rehabilitators and members of the general public.
13. Permittees, or their volunteers, shall not charge any fee associated with the activity herein authorized, nor shall permittees, or their
volunteers, require fees for the pick-up or delivery of sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife.
14. Permittees, or their volunteers, shall not represent themselves as agents ofthe VDGIF, nor shall they trespass upon the property of
another for the purpose of taking possession of wildlife without permission of the property owner.
15. Cancellation and Suspension: Any permit may be canceled, or suspended, at any time when it is found that the permittee is not in
compliance with the conditions of this permit. Regulation 4 V AC 15-290-130 states that a permit holder shall comply with all
terms and conditions of any permit issued by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries pursuant to Title 29.1 of the Code of
Virginia and the regulations of the board pertaining to hunting, fishing, trapping, attempting to take, possession, sale, offering for
sale, transporting or causing to be transported, importing or exporting, propagating, exhibiting, and rehabilitating of any wild bird,
wild animal or fish, The penalty for violation of this section is a Class 3 misdemeanor unless another penalty is specified.
16. Wildlife undergoing rehabilitation shall not be displayed or exhibited. This permit does not authorize the use of releasable or non-
releasable animals for exhibit or educational use.
17. The permittee is reminded that the welfare of wildlife populations is more important than the welfare of any individual animal, and
nothing done in the interest of an individual animal should unnaturally jeopardize healthy wildlife.
18. All wildlife that is being rehabilitated must be kept in separate rooms or buildings from domestic animals.
19, The permittee shall make every effort to avoid taming, or imprinting, wildlife receiving care if the animal is candidate for releasing
back into the wild.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Threatened or Endangered Species and Eagles
Wildlife should be referred within 24 hours to a Category III facility where full-time veterinary care and appropriate
facilities are available unless specifically authorized by the Department. Category I permittees may not possess
threatened or endangered species or golden eagles at any time. A list of permitted facilities is maintained by the
Department.
Exhibited and Educational Use of Non-Releasable Animals
The exhibition or educational use of releasable or non-releasable animals is not permitted under rehabilitation permits.
To exhibit for educational purposes, a permit to exhibit wildlife is required from the VDGIF. Rehabilitators must
remember that animals with visible deformities may not be exhibited and should be euthanized.
AU. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Special Purpose Possession Permit is required to exhibit migratory birds and
aU. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal Welfare Act License is required to exhibit mammals. [The Virginia
USDA may be reached by writing the United States Department of Agriculture, Eastern Region, APHIS, AC, 920 Main
Campus Drive, Suite 200, Raleigh, NC 27606 or by calling (919) 716-5532.]
Rehabilitation of High Risk Rabies Species
High-risk rehabilitated rabies animals must be released in the county in which they were rehabilitated: they cannot be
transported across county lines.
Involvement will be a voluntary action that is the personal choice of each licensed rehabilitator.
Only pre-immunized handlers will be permitted to handle high-risk rabies animals (raccoons, skunks, foxes, bats,
woodchucks). Proof ofimmunization must be provided with the application and will remain on file.
All raccoons should be considered rabies exposed!!!
If the rescuer, transporter, or handler has been exposed to any of the raccoon's bodily fluids including saliva, tears, or
urine, then the animal should be humanely euthanized, and its head and brain should be sent to the public health
department for rabies testing. Permittees must abide by all requests for animals made by authorized public health
department personnel or animal control personnel.
Any wild mammal which bites any person should be humanely euthanized, and have its head and brain submitted to the
public health department for rabies testing.
To minimize disease potential, cages that are used for transporting or holding raccoons, should not be utilized for other
speCIes.
RENEWALS
Regulation 4 V AC 15-30-7 states that provided that the issuance of a permit renewal has been delayed past the expiration
date of the permittee's previous permit at no fault of the applicant, the permittee may continue the specific activities

BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR HOUSING OF WILD ANIMALS
INSPECTION - Wildlife held in captivity shall be subjected to inspection by any Virginia game warden or animal warden (county animal
control officer). Inspecting officers shall determine whether the said wildlife are adequately fed, sheltered, cleaned, cared for, provided
with sufficient space, veterinary care, and securely, properly, and safely penned. In the event that the animal is not adequately cared for, the
officer shall report the situation in writing to the person holding such wildlife. Failure of the holder or exhibitor to correct the situation
within 24-hours after such written notice will result in revocation of all permits to hold such wildlife.
HOLDING CAPTIVE WILDLIFE - All persons keeping wildlife shall be responsible for practicing good animal husbandry, handling,
production, management, confinement, feeding, watering, protection, shelter, transportation, treatment, and when necessary, euthanasia,
appropriate for the age, species, condition, size, and type of the animal, and the provision of veterinary care, when needed, to prevent
suffering or impairment of health.
ALL CAPTIVE WILDLIFE SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH:
Adequate food to include access to, and provision of, food which is of sufficient quantity and nutritive value to maintain each animal in
good health; is accessible to each animal; is prepared so as to permit ease of consumption for the age, species, condition; size, and type of
each animal, is provided in a clean and sanitary manner, is placed so as to minimize contamination by excrement and pests; and is provided
at suitable intervals for the species held, but at least once daily, except as prescribed by a veterinarian or as dictated by naturally occurring
states of hi be mati on or fasting normal for the species.
Adequate water to include provision of and access to clean, fresh, potable water of a drinkable temperature which is provided in a suitable
manner, in sufficient volume, and at suitable intervals but at least once every twelve hours, to maintain normal hydration except as
prescribed by a veterinarian or as dictated by naturally occurring state of hi be rnati on or fasting nonnal for the species; and is provided in
clean, durable receptacles which are accessible to each animal and are placed so as to minimize contamination of the water by excrement
and pests or an alternative source of hydration consistent with generally accepted husbandry practices.
Properly cleaned enclosure to include the removal of carcasses, debris, food waste, and excrement in sufficient frequency to minimize the
captive wildlife contract with the above-mentioned contaminants; the primary enclosure is sanitized with sufficient frequency to minimize
odors and the hazards of disease; and the primary enclosure is cleaned so as to prevent the animals confined therein from being directly, or
indirectly, sprayed with the stream of water, or exposed to hazardous chemicals or disinfectants.
Proper lighting means sufficient illumination to permit routine inspections, maintenance, cleaning and maintenance of the shelter, and
-' observation of captive wildlife; to provide regular diurnal light cycles of either natural or artificial light, uniformly diffused throughout the
wildlife holding facilities, and to promote the well-being of the wildlife.
Adequate care meaning the responsible practice of good animal husbandry, handling, production, management, confinement, feeding,
watering, protection, shelter, transportation, treatment, and, when necessary, euthanasia, appropriate for the age, species, condition, size,
and type of the animal, and the provision of veterinary care when needed to prevent suffering, impairment of health or disease transmission.
DISINFECTING OF CAGES - While daily removal of feces and urine from mammal cages is necessary to prevent odor, parasite
reinfestation, and insect over-population, avian species in large flight aviaries may be cleaned on a less frequent basis, providing there is a
regular schedule for cleaning. Some mammals ( i.e., cottontail) have a need to ingest feces. Special arrangements can be made for species
who have this need. There are various disinfecting agents used after daily cleaning to properly sanitize the cage.
GENERAL CAGE COMMENTS
The enclosures suggested, with the exception of conditioning cages, are for short-term (i.e., usually less than six months) housing of
rehabilitation animals. The philosophy which dictates cage size presupposes normal recovery times for the patient. None of the confinement
or recovery cages are recommended for extended or permanent care.
Any bird old enough to perch requires the same size cage as the adult of the species. Enclosures should be made secure against common local
predators.
Cage design should provide for ease of cleaning, ventilation, light, and temperature control. A separate source of water for drinking and
bathing for each enclosure should be provided.
May 27, 2003
Page 8
COMMENTS REGARDING AVIAN CAGING - Materials for caging vary within the field. Solid walls for aviaries can be constructed
of wood, fiberglass, or their equivalent. Hardware cloth, chicken wire, and chain-link fencing are not recommended if the birds can come
into direct contact with them. If vertical wood lath, fiberglass screening, or netting prevent direct contact, then wire on outside can. add
extra security. Flooring for aviaries is often pea gravel over sand which should be changed bi-annually, or as needed. Natural flooring is
acceptable in very large enclosures but it must be turned and disinfected from time to time. Flooring for small cages may include towels or
raised netting over newspaper, newspaper alone, or wood (but not cedar) shavings, depending on the species being housed. Perches can be
wood doweling or plastic piping (or the equivalent) covered by v." astroturf, hemp, or indoor/outdoor carpeting. Platforms can be covered
with 12" astroturf or indoor/outdoor carpeting. Natural limbs, bow, block, and ring perches are appropriate for certain species of birds. For
small confinement, as in a carrier, removable and changeable perches, giving a different resting surface each day, are recommended to avoid
confinement sores,
CONFINEMENT - designated for initial housing of birds suffering from special problems such as traumatic injuries, post-surgical care,
severely debilitating conditions such as shock, toxicity, neurological impairment, or other conditions that require close supervision and
management. Confinement cages include airline pet carriers, incubators, padded cages, open boxes that allow for thermo-regulation with
heat lamps, etc. These cages should be used when activity must be restricted.
RECOVERY - designated to encompass all necessary elements of housing during the initial healing period, including "cage rest"
situations.
CONDITIONING - designated to provide an opportunity for recuperated birds to improve their strength, develop stamina and
coordination, restore muscle tone, and acclimate to ambient weather conditions by swimming, flying, etc. in larger outdoor enclosures.
CONSIDERATIONS IN DEFINING A "IAN CAGE SIZES - Although considerable thought and experience determined the cage sizes
listed in this program, it is impossible to consider all possibilities in terms of material, design, or size. Caging will be reviewed, on-site, by
experienced State Game Wardens who will be concerned with its workability.
Since exterior plywood is available in economical and easy to use 4'x 8' sheets, some caging standards have been calculated, using numbers
that are based on material size. Maximum volume is achieved with cubic ~ages. Cage sizes specify minimums, but it is best to give the
birds the maximum amount of space. Consequently, cages should be built using the size designed for the largest species to be housed, since
they will be reused with different species at different times. While the raptor cage information states a minimum rectangular size, it has
been found that a semi-circular L-shaped enclosure will often be better to evaluate angling abilities.
Equivalent substitution is encouraged. Certainly, in most cases, the usual 7" x 10" x 17" cardboard portable pet carrier is an excellent
substitute for the 12" x 12" x 12" cage size listed for initial care of small birds. Intelligent substitution of height and ground area
requirements is encouraged. While pheasants and egrets are the same size, one requires height and the other needs ground space. Cages are
only specified in cubic footage. It would be very difficult to specify ground room for individual species. Additionally, birds cannot be
assigned cage sizes by species, due to variations within species. For example, the Canada goose has at least seven races that are
identifiable by size. They range from the giant, which has a six-foot wingspread and breeds in Missouri, to the small mallard size that
breeds near the Arctic Circle and winters in California. For this reason, non-raptorial species are housed according to their general size (in
this instance, the height of the bird).

CODES FOR SPECIAL CAGING REOUIREMENTS
C Birds such as woodpeckers and nuthatches require angled and/or V erticallogs for climbing. Provide suitable materials for clinging
birds such as chimney swifts.
D Birds with this designation require old logs, etc. as drumming materials.
F Special substrate needed. These species are susceptible to foot problems. Depending on the species, padded flooring, towels,
sheeting, carpets, kitty litter, crumpled newspaper covered with toweling, sand, or suspended net flooring may be used.
H Hides: provide natural vegetative material or man-devised areas for cover.
P Requires two or more perches of varied diameter.
Pi Piling or shelves required for perching.
Q Quiet and extreme privacy required.
S . Bathing area required; "kiddies pool" size.
So Swimming area required; large pool (deeper than 2'), tank, pond. Provide a resting pilltform in any swimming area. For above
ground pools, a ramp covered with astroturf or equivalent should be provided.
W Used waterbed, suspended netting, sheepskin padding, or crumpled newspapers (6" high minimum) covered with towels.
Z Although larger conditioning cage sizes are preferred for hummingbirds, great care must be taken to seal off small openings or
cracks that can act as traps.

MINIMUM HOUSING GUIDELINES FOR SELECTED MAMMALS
Comments on Mammal Housing - Although considerable thought and experience determined the cage sizes listed in this program, it is
impossible to consider all possibilities in terms of material, design, or size. Caging will be reviewed, on-site, by experienced State Game
Wardens who will be concerned with its workability.
The following are suggested building materials for outdoor cages. Walls are generally made of chain-link fencing, welded wire, or wood.
When wooden cages are used, they should be water-sealed. Welded wire sizes are as follows: W' x Y2" for small rodents and opossums
(lOOg or less); W' x I" for squirrels; and I" x I-W' for raccoons and larger mammals. Roofing materials are the same with a covered area
that provides protection from the elements. Fiberglass is sometimes used on top of the wire to provide protection. The flooring depends on
the species being housed. Concrete flooring should be sloped for proper drainage. If natural flooring is utilized, wire fencing should be
placed under the cage and be covered with a draining gravel. Wood shavings can be used if they are changed regularly. All doors should
be equipped with a double door system for the protection of the handler and the animal. A den should be provided for the animal.
Raccoons should have a dedicated enclosure to avoid spreading disease to other species; examples can include a wooden box, fiberglass, or
plastic animal carrier.

Logs for gnawing to curb tooth growth; bark must be edible. Some species may utilize dirt for burying food, dust baths,
etc. A source of calcium (i.e. a cuttlebone or antler) could also be provided.
Hammocks made of fabric, hanging tires, etc. attached to wall or roof; tree limbs and logs to promote climbing; provide a
wading pool or water container applicable to the animal's size to allow bathing and food handling.
Large branches and logs (some hollow) should be provided for climbing; high platforms forresting above the cage floor.
Must have water containers that are large enough to swim in and are at least two feet deep; examples include bathtubs,
metal troughs, metal or concrete pools (plastic kiddie pools are not deep enough and will be destroyed by the animal);
Heavy fiberglass stock tanks with drain in bottom work well. Container of soil at least one foot deep should be provided
for digging. A den for hiding should be provided.
If chain link is used for the walls, drapes must be hung over the inside of the chain link to avoid injury to the animal, and
to keep it from climbing out (i.e., blankets tied securely or tarps). General practice is to take deer from injured adult
caging to release in an effort to prevent cage trauma.
Den should be made of concrete blocks or bricks (8' x 8' x 6') and attached to the wall of the cage. This will house one
adult or two juveniles. Heavy logs and a large indestructible tub for bathing are also necessary.
Shall be housed in accordance with APillS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) Standards.

Item #20
City of Virginia Beach
An Ordinance to amend Sections 111, 401, 501, 601, 801, 901 and
Adding Sections 242.3 and 242.4 of the City Zoning Ordinance
Establishing definitions of Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation
Facility and Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and establishing specific
Standards and applicable districts for each use.
March 14,2007
CONSENT
Barry Knight: The next item we have slated is agenda item 20, which is the City of
Virginia Beach. An ordinance amending Sections 111,401,501,601,801,901 and
adding Section 242.3 and 242.4 of the City Zoning Ordinance esta~lishing definitions of
Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility and Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and
establishing specific standards and applicable districts for each use. In this application,
there was a timeframe of 60 days. That has been taken out and it will be superceded by
the State and Federal rules that say 180 days. So, the Commission has stated as the
ordinance as written, they would like to put it on the consent agenda. Is there any
objection to anyone in the audience from putting this on the consent agenda? Okay. Mr.
Clay Bernick, could I get you to come up here please?
Clay Bernick: .Yes. Mr. Chairman?
Barry Knight: We have slated to put this on the consent agenda status with the noted
change of taking the 60 days out. We don't note any objection from anyone in the
audience today. If it is placed on the consent agenda, then it will pass as presented with
the 180 days out. I don't mean to put you on the spot, but will you give us a short
synopsis of this ordinance?
Clay Bernick: Yes sir. I'll be glad to do that. As you are all aware, this first came to you
and was deferred at the January meeting. Since that time, we have had a group meeting
on several occasions with City staff and the Attorney's office and the Planning
Department, myself, a representative form the Planning Commission, and representatives
from the Virginia Beach SPCA, and a number of the local wildlife rehabilitators. In
working through the draft ordinance that had been deferred in January, we identified a
number of minor revisions, really to the original draft, to address things such as what
animals would be housed? Where? How long they could be housed? Safeguards for the
adjoining property owners, in terms of noise, odor, waste disposal, health inspections,
issues related to both Federal and State oversight, as well as how the City would handle
inspection and enforcement of the Use Permit. And through that process, we came up
with a consensus document we felt really did two things. One, it safeguards the property
owners who may have concerns at looking to buy, but also provides a framework that
folks that really provide a really valuable service in our community to work within. That
balancing act resulted in the draft that was originally in your agenda, and then of course,
the change was made for 180 days. With that, we believe that we're moving in the right
direction. As many of you have learned through this process, it is a very complicated
Item #20

issue in terms of the kind of permitting and certification that rehabilitators need to obtain
to operate. They do a lot of this primarily out of their own pocketbook. What we hope to
be able to do in the future is identify a site where a facility can be placed that would
alleviate some of the longer-term care needs that rehabilitators in a residential area will
have, but at this time, we don't have that yet. We're setting in place the mechanism to do
that through the Use Permit process.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Bernick. Also, it's noted that you, as a representative of the
city are still exploring a place for our wildlife rehabilitation center. '
Clay Bernick: Yes sir, very much so. We hope to be able to make some progress within
the next year, and get back to you and give you an update as well.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Bernick.
Clay Bernick: I want to thank the staff in general, but also the Planning Commission for
your expertise and assistance in working with the community on this. We really
appreciate it.
Barry Knight: Thank you. Mr. Secretary.
Joseph Strange: Yes. I would like to make a motion that we approve item 20.
Barry Knight: Thank you. There is a motion on the floor. Do I have a second? There is
a second by Mr. Horsley. I'll call for the question.
