Council upon the expiration of the one-year term and request a five-year franchise
agreement.

franchise agreement: (1) First Fruits, LLC, t/a Tropical Smoothies Cafe, for operation of
an Atlantic Avenue Side Street Cafe; (2) Dunes Investment Associates, LLC, t/a The
Beach Club Cafe, for operation of a Boardwalk Cafe; and (3) Tonick, Inc., t/a Waffle
Town USA, for operation of an Atlantic Avenue Sidewalk Cafe.
The following eight (8) entities have successfully operated open air cafes
pursuant to either one-year or five-year franchise agreements and are seeking renewal
of their franchise agreements for five year terms: (1) Blaster Fries, Inc., t/a Lighthouse

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $309,671 in U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Federal Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher
Revenue, and Appropriate $1,953,329 of HUD Federal Section 8/Housing Choice
Voucher Revenue from the Fund Balance of the Federal Section 8 Special Revenue
Fund to the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation's FY 2007-08
Operating Budget
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
Background: The Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation (DHNP)
receives Federal funds annually to support rental subsidies for persons living in privately
owned housing around the city. The DHNP is authorized by HUD to lease a defined
number of units each calendar year. For calendar 2008, the limit will be 1,901 units;
however, $11,759,294 was budgeted for 1,700 in the FY 2007-08 Operating Budget
based on the assumption of level funding from FY 2006-07. The amount of voucher
funding provided may or may not cover the annual leasing costs for the number of
leasing units allocated by HUD. Complicating matters, HUD notifies the DHNP of its
annual funding amount after the calendar year begins. This year, notice of the annual
funding amount of $12,450,970 was received on March 15th. Converting HUD's
calendar year 2007 ($11,686,960) and 2008 ($12,450,970) allocations to the City's
fiscal year 2007-08, the total revised appropriation will be $12,068,965. To match HUD's
actual funding amount, the difference ($309,671) should be appropriated to DHNP's FY
2007-08 Operating Budget.
In addition, the DHNP is allowed to use unutilized housing assistance voucher funds
from prior years to support leasing up to the defined number of units. These unutilized
funds reside in the fund balance of the City's Federal Section 8 Program Special
Revenue Fund. According to the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for
fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, this undesignated fund balance totals $3,418,198.
Funds become unutilized mainly due to the lag time from receipt of the award from HUD
(made on a calendar year basis) to completion of the process of obtaining and
qualifying clients and the start of the leasing contracts. In the approved FY 2007-08
Operating Budget, the DHNP appropriated $819,495 from the fund balance of the
Federal Section 8 Program Special Revenue Fund. However, an analysis of projected
FY 2007-08 expenditures indicates a need to use an additional $1,953,329 from this
fund balance.
These changes to the DHNP's FY2007-08 Operating Budget will also require the
following changes to the DHNP's FY 2008-09 Operating Budget: a) reduction of
$645,626 to the fund balance to be used (from $1,291,000 to $645,374) to stay within
the undesignated fund balance limit, and b) increase of $764,010 in the HUD Federal
Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher revenue (from $11,686,960 to $12,450,970) so that
the FY 2008-09 budgetary estimate is based on the latest information from HUD. These
changes will be brought to City Council at a later date.
Considerations: These adjustments are necessary to a) balance the DHNP's operating
budget to actual funding to be received and b) to support the projected expenses for the
balance of the fiscal year.
■ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal
Council agenda process, as this is considered to be a technical issue.
Alternatives: There are no financial alternatives to these actions if the program is to
continue as planned, and in accordance with Federal funding provided.
Recommendations: Approval of the attached ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Larisa Properties, L.L.C. for a Modification of Conditions for
a Use Permit approved by City Council on June 8, 1981 (Texaco, Inc.). Property is
located at 3612 Holland Road (GPIN 1486548720). DISTRICT 3 — ROSE HALL
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
■ Background:
A Conditional Use Permit allowing a gas station and car wash on the subject site
was approved by the City Council on June 8, 1981. The applicant desires to
redevelop the site to build a self-service laundry facility and to expand the
existing car wash. The proposed self-service laundry does not require City
Council approval. A building permit has already been issued for the expansion of
the existing commercial building located on the site to house the self-service
laundry. The proposed car wash expansion allowing the addition of a second bay
and a mechanical room requires a modification to the existing Conditional Use
Permit. The modification is required because the car wash expansion was not
shown on the site plan approved by City Council in 1981. The applicant,
therefore, now requests approval of a modified site plan to allow the expansion of
the car wash facility.
■ Considerations:
The submitted site plan shows a 4,775 square foot retail building to house a self-
service laundry facility centered approximately six (6) feet off of Alabama
Avenue, which is a `paper street' that runs along the rear of the site. There are
34 parking spaces shown on the east and south sides of building. The existing
automatic car wash with the proposed wash bay and mechanical room addition is
located west of the self-service laundry facility. The exterior of the car wash
addition will mimic the existing building in colors and design including a white
facade with blue trim and awnings. Additional landscaping will be provided along
Holland Road and Rosemont Roads.
A variance was approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals on May 6, 1981 to
reduce the setback from both Grant Avenue and Alabama Avenue from 35 feet to
10 feet. The old car wash building was set back 12.12 feet from Grant Avenue;
the proposed car wash and addition will be set back 4.12 feet from Grant
Avenue.
Larisa Properties, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 3
The proposed car wash expansion will not negatively affect the surrounding
community and is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendations for this area. There is an unimproved wooded right-of-way to
the north that currently provides a buffer between the existing residential uses to
the north and the car wash site. The addition of landscaping along Holland Road
and Rosemont Road will enhance the appearance of this site.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
proposal represents an appropriate redevelopment of the site, the site designs
ensures compatibility of the use with the residential area to the north, and there
was no opposition.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
1. All conditions with the exception of Numbers 6 and 7 attached to the
Conditional Use Permit granted by the City Council on June 8, 1981 remain in
affect.
2. Condition Number 7 of the June 8, 1981 Conditional Use Permit is deleted
and replaced with the following:
a. Only one site entrance shall be permitted on South Rosemont Road. The
existing northern entrance, located in the right turn lane taper, shall be
closed. The remaining existing entrance shall be improved to include 15
foot radii and a 30 -foot entrance width at the property line.
b. Only one site entrance shall be permitted on Holland Road. The existing
easternmost entrance shall be closed, and the remaining entrance
improved to include 15 -foot entrance radii and a 30 -foot entrance width at
the property line.
c. On-site parking shall be configured so as to not interfere with traffic
entering and exiting the site.
3. When the site is developed, the site layout and street frontage landscaping
shall be in substantial conformance with the plan entitled, "Proposed Addition
to Ex. Building and New Parking Lot Striping," dated October 16, 2007 and
last revised December 17, 2007, prepared by Beck Associates, P.C. Said
plan has been exhibited to the City Council and is on file in the Planning
Department.
4. All signs shall be removed or brought into conformance with current City
Zoning Ordinance provisions for signs.
Larisa Properties, L.L.C.

5. The car wash shall not discharge to the City storm drainage system. A plan
that defines how wash water will be handled shall be submitted to the
Planning Department / Development Service Center for review and approval.
6. In accordance with Section 221(i) of the City Zoning Ordinance and a finding
that the project as proposed is compatible with the surrounding area, the yard
setbacks for the buildings shown on the site plan referenced in Condition 3
shall be as shown on said plan.
7. The exterior of the car wash facility shall consist only of neutral or earth tone
colors.

Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
requested modification, as conditioned below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map and land use policies place this site within the Primary Residential Area.
The land use planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on
preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value, and aesthetic quality of the stable
neighborhoods located in this area. In a general sense, the established type, size, and relationship of land
use, residential and non-residential, located in and around these neighborhoods should serve as a guide
when considering future development, (pg. 90).
Evaluation:
The proposed car wash expansion will not negatively affect the surrounding community and is in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for this area. There is an unimproved
wooded right-of-way to the north that currently provides a buffer between the existing residential uses to
the north and the car wash site. A setback variance has been previously approved by the Board of Zoning
Appeals, allowing development within the side yard setback. This proposal, however, will extend
approximately six (6) feet further into that setback than what was originally approved. The applicant
understands that there are future plans to widen Rosemont Road and Holland Road, and the City has
discussed with the applicant the applicant's option of acquiring a portion of Grant Avenue to lessen the
impact of the road widening projects on this site. Thirty-seven (37) parking spaces provided on-site are
sufficient to support the proposed 4,775 square feet of retail and the proposed car wash expansion. The
addition of landscaping along Holland Road and Rosemont Road will enhance the appearance of this
site. As such, staff recommends approval with the conditions listed below.
CONDITIONS
1. All conditions with the exception of Numbers 6 and 7 attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted
by the City Council on June 8, 1981 remain in affect.
2. Condition Number 7 of the June 8, 1981 Conditional Use Permit is deleted and replaced with the
following:
a. Only one site entrance shall be permitted on South Rosemont Road. The existing northern
entrance, located in the right turn lane taper, shall be closed. The remaining existing entrance
shall be improved to include 15 foot radii and a 30 -foot entrance width at the property line.
b. Only one site entrance shall be permitted on Holland Road. The existing eastern most
entrance shall be closed, and the remaining entrance improved to include 15 -foot entrance
radii and a 30 -foot entrance width at the property line.
c. On-site parking shall be configured so as to not interfere with traffic entering and exiting the
site.

3. When the site is developed, the site layout and street frontage landscaping shall be in substantial
conformance with the plan entitled, "Proposed Addition to Ex. Building and New Parking Lot Striping,"
dated October 16, 2007 and last revised December 17, 2007, prepared by Beck Associates, P.C.
Said pllan has been exhibited to the City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
4. All signs shall be removed or brought into conformance with current City Zoning Ordinance provisions
for signs.
5. The car wash shall not discharge to the City storm drainage system. A plan that defines how wash
water will be handled shall be submitted to the Planning Department / Development Service Center for
review and approval.
6. In accordance with Section 221(i) of the City Zoning Ordinance and a finding that the project as
proposed is compatible with the surrounding area, the yard setbacks for the buildings shown on the
site plan referenced in Condition 3 shall be as shown on said plan.
7. The exterior of the car wash facility shall consist only of neutral or earth tone colors.
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.

CONSENT
Joseph Strange: The next item on the consent agenda is item 8, Larisa Properties, L.L.C. An
application of Larisa Properties, L.L.C. for a Modification of Conditions approved by City
Council on June 8, 1981. The property is located at 3612 Holland Road, District 3, Rose
Hall, with 7 conditions.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you again. Madam Chair, and members of the Commission, for the
record, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach attorney representing the applicant. Again, we
greatly appreciate being on the consent agenda for this modification of an old Use Permit,
which will result in a significant upgrade of this site, and we do agree with the additional
condition. I think it was condition 7. Mr. Strange mentioned a request for neutral colors. Let
me also mention. Grant Avenue is a platted paper street but the city does not own the
underlying fee in that paper street. If the city owned the underlying'fee in the paper street,
then we would negotiate closing the street and acquiring it but a third party does, and it is not
developed as a street but to close it would put the property in the ownership of a third party.
Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Okay. The Chairman has asked Gene Crabtree to review this item.
Eugene Crabtree: This property is at the corner of Rosemont and Holland Road. It has been
a Texaco service station. It has been a Shell service station. It had a carwash with it for as
long as I can remember. I've lived there since 1962. And, now they have come in and they
want to have a convenience store, a laundry mat and a three bay carwash. This will upgrade
the area quite a bit. And as Eddie said, he took a little bit of my thunder by saying he would
tone down the colors. If they were going to use neutral colors, this will improve it. We just
thought this would be a good use of this particular property so we put it on consent.
Joseph Strange: Thank you Gene. Madam Chairman, I make a motion to approve agenda
item 8.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Do I have a second? I have a first by Joe Strange and a
second by Kathy Katsias.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Donna House for a Conditional Use Permit for a tattoo
establishment (permanent make-up) on property located at 152 Newtown Road,
Suites 110 and 112 (GPIN 1457948279). DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a
permanent make-up salon. Permanent make-up is considered a form of tattooing
and is thus regulated by the same portions of the City Code that regulate tattoo
establishments.
■ Considerations:
The site is located near the intersection of Newtown Road and Princess Anne
Road. The existing building was constructed in 1966 and is home to several
office and service type uses. The applicant will occupy Suites 110 and 112.
Customers will come by appointment only, and only one customer will be present
at any one time. Operating hours will be Monday through Saturday from 9:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Before the applicant can obtain a business license to operate,
she will have to meet with representatives of the Health Department to determine
if the unit meets the requirements of Chapter 23 of the City Code. The site
appears to have sufficient parking for the users of the business, particularly since
only one customer will be present at any one time.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
use is appropriate for the location, the level of activity to occur at the business is
minimal, and there was no opposition.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
1. The Conditional Use Permit for a permanent make-up (tattoo) establishment
is approved for a period of one year, with an administrative review every year
thereafter.
2. A business license shall not be issued to the applicant without the approval of
the Health Department for consistency with the provisions of Chapter 23 of
Donna House

the City Code.
3. No signage more than four (4) square feet of the entire glass area of the
exterior walls shall be permitted on the windows. There shall be no neon
signs; or neon accents installed on any wall area of the exterior of the building,
windows and or / doors.
4. The actual permanent make-up (tattoo) operation on a customer shall not be
visible from any public right-of-way adjacent to the establishment.

District, or school.
The site is located near the intersection of Newtown Road and Princess Anne Road. The existing building
was constructed in 1966 and is home to several office and service type uses. The applicant will occupy
Suites 110 and 112. Before the applicant can obtain a business license to operate, she will have to meet

added retail uses scaled to support the local employment base may be appropriate.
Evaluation:
The request to operate a permanent make-up (tattoo) establishment is acceptable. Although the request

March 12, 2008
CONSENT
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 10, Donna House. An application of Donna House for
a Conditional Use Permit for a tattoo establishment on property located 152 Newtown Road,
Suite 110 & 112, District 2, Kempsville, with four conditions.
Donna House: Hi. My name is Donna House, and I appreciate being put on the consent
agenda this morning.
Joseph Strange: Are the conditions acceptable?
Donna House: Excuse me?
Joseph Strange: There are four conditions. Are they acceptable?
Donna House: Yes.
Joseph Strange: Okay. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent
agenda? Seeing none, the Chairman has asked Henry Livas to review this item.
Henry Livas: As previously stated, the property is located at 152 Newtown Road, Suite 110
& 112. The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a
permanent make -.up salon. As some people have said this is related to tattoos so therefore it
comes under the same regulations that are required to operate a tattoo parlor. And that comes
under Chapter 23. Some of the restrictions on tattoo parlors are that they can't be located
within 600 feet of another parlor, residential areas or district schools. There are also some
restrictions on the size of the signs and no neon signs are allowed. The site appears to have
sufficient parkin; so therefore, we have put it on the consent agreement.
Joseph Strange: "Thank you Henry.
Janice Anderson: Could we have the applicant back up? Did she leave? Thank you ma'am.
Mr. Knight just noticed there is a discrepancy in the address. What address is this? Is it
Suite 110, 112 or both?

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use
Permit for a communication tower on a portion of property located at 1052
Cardinal Road (GPIN 2418246584). DISTRICT 5 — LYNNHAVEN.
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
■ Background:
On November 27, 2007, the City Council indefinitely deferred this application to
allow time for City staff to develop policies pertaining to the use of public facilities
for wireless communication antennas, develop revisions to the current Zoning
Ordinance provisions regulating the placement of wireless communication
antennas, and review the proposal to determine if any public facilities are
available as an alternative. Staff has developed a preliminary policy for such
reviews, as well as a draft set of ordinance revisions, both of which are
forthcoming to City Council. The City Staff Wireless Communication Tower
Group has reviewed the applicant's proposal and has determined that there are
no public facilities in the vicinity suitable as an alternative location for these
antennas. Thus, with the concurrence of the Lynnhaven District Councilman, this
item has been advertised for the April 8, 2008 City Council hearing.
The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit for a communication tower to
be located adjacent to the swimming pool area for the Cavalier Golf and Yacht
Club. The proposed communication tower will host three carriers, is 95 -foot tall,
and is a stealth or "slick stick" style of monopole.
The applicant demonstrated that a thorough search of the area was conducted
without success for the purpose of attempting to find an existing tower or
structure with antenna space that would provide the coverage needed.
■ Considerations:
The submitted site plan depicts a 525 -square foot lease area adjacent to the
maintenance facility and behind the pool area. A proposed 12 -foot by 20 -foot (12'
x 20') shelter for equipment and the tower are proposed within the lease area.
Fencing and landscaping will enclose the lease area. A 20 -foot access easement
for the roadway to the lease area will be recorded.
New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 3
The Comprehensive Plan Map 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.
Limited commercial or institutional activities providing desired goods or services
to residential neighborhoods are considered acceptable uses provided effective
measures are taken to ensure compatibility and non-proliferation of such
activities.
Staff determined that the proposed tower meets the criteria specified in Section
232 of the City Zoning Ordinance. The City of Virginia Beach Department of
Communications and Information Technology (COMIT) reviewed the request and
found it acceptable in regard to potential for interference with City
communications.
■ Recominendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
The :site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted
development plans entitled "BIRDNECK POINT, site number NF304K,
prepared by ALLPRO Consulting Group, Inc., and dated 2/2/07. The tower
shall be developed in accordance with the submitted plan entitled "Tower
Elevation", prepared by Thompson and Litton, and dated 10/4/07. Said plans
have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file in the
Virginia Beach Department of Planning.
2. The proposed tower shall not exceed 95 -feet in overall height.
3. 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 original tower and
for all subsequent users.
4. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities
arises from the user(s) 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
cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference.
5. In the event that antennae on the tower are inactive for a period of two years,
the tower shall be removed at the applicant's expense.

24182465840000 5 - LYNNHAVEN 525 square feet (lease area)
The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit for a SUMMARY OF REQUEST
communication tower to be located on the site. The proposed
communication tower will host three carriers, is 95 -foot tall, and is a stealth or "slick stick" style of
monopole. The submitted site plan depicts a 525 -square foot lease area adjacent to the maintenance
facility and behind the pool area associated with the Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club. A proposed 12 -foot by
20 -foot shelter, for equipment and the tower are proposed within the lease area. The equipment shelter
will be 9 -feet, '10 -inches in height and made of metal. Fencing and landscaping are proposed to enclose
the lease area. A 20 -foot access easement for the roadway to the lease area will be recorded.
The applicant states a thorough search of the area was conducted without success for the purpose of
attempting to find an existing tower or structure with antenna space that would provide the coverage
needed. Since the search was not successful, the applicant is requesting this use permit to allow a
communication tower on the site.

Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map 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.
Limited commercial or institutional activities providing desired goods or services to residential
neighborhoods are considered acceptable uses provided effective measures are taken to ensure
compatibility and non-proliferation of such activities.
Evaluation:
The request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Communication Tower is acceptable. The applicant
searched the area for collocation availability and was unable to locate an existing tower or a structure tall
enough to meet the network needs. The applicant provided maps of the existing AT&T network in the city,
the existing network coverage, and the proposed network coverage maps to demonstrate tower locations
and network needs.
The applicant also provided a structural report confirming the tower will be designed in accordance with
the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and will accommodate one carrier. Additionally the
submitted NIER (non -ionizing electromagnetic radiation) report states "...the proposed operation at this
site would not result in exposure to the Public excessive levels of radio-frequency energy as defined by
the FCC Rules and Regulations, specifically 47 CFR 1.1307, and that Cingular Wireless' proposed
operation is completely compliant". The City of Virginia Beach Department of Communications and
Information Technology (COMIT) reviewed the request and found it compliant.

REGULAR
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 7, New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C. An
application of New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C. for a Conditional Use Permit for a
communication tower on a portion of property located at 1052 Cardinal Road, District 5,
Lynnhaven, with six conditions.
Barry Knight: Welcome Lisa.
Lisa Murphy: Good afternoon Chairman and members of the Commission. For the record,
my name is Lisa Murphy, and I'm a local attorney, and I'm here today on behalf of AT&T,
which is formerly Cingular Wireless. The application itself, again, unlike some of the
applications that you heard today, and at other times is really driven by technology. And the
primary issue here is the need for the radio frequency engineer and the network to fill a hole
that they have in their coverage. This is a whole lot like the situation at Little Neck, only on
a smaller scale because you have a situation where you have a peninsula largely or almost
entirely residential. You will see in the center is 304s site location, but this is all Birdneck
Point over here. Some of the surrounding sites over here, you have a site at the hospital is
actually only 72 feet tall. It is limited because it is on a rooftop. Along here, obviously, you
have a couple of high rises at the Oceanfront where they are getting coverage at the
Oceanfront and somewhat away from the Oceanfront. Those high rises, I think are 160 some
odd and 170 feet. Unfortunately, as we're starting to see, and again which is the case at
Little Neck, there have been some spots on Great Neck Road in the residential areas, but now
that we have, I think the numbers are 233 million users, and we've gone essentially from the
technology that is really limited to drivers and folks using them in their cars on the highways
and on the major roadways, we've got an industry now that has matured and almost all users
expect to use their phones inside their homes. So what this map shows is the coverage on
this Birdneck peninsula. There aren't any facilities around it. They have been looking for
awhile to site a facility. There were some controversy on this, but for the carriers, it is
cheaper and easier to go to a structure that is already there. You know, there is a great deal
of certainty. There are no public hearings. Unfortunately, they don't need folks like me.
They can locate on the site. So, in this situation, you got the unique problem of being a
highly residential peninsula, which is really the majority of our users. The site itself, after
meeting with the; neighborhood, and what we did at the outset knowing there was a prior
application on this property that was controversial, we sent a post card to all 250 residents of
Birdneck Point, set up a meeting at the country club, which they did very nice job hosting for
us. And we shared with them the application that we had. What makes this application
different, and I think you got a photo, and it is not the exact photo, but this particular design
Item #7
New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C.
Page 2
and what it shows is the design as a pole design. What we had originally proposed, much
like at the high schools, is the flush mounted antennas, where the antennas are right on top of
the pole. In meeting with the neighbors, we talked about a variety of designs. Stealth
designs, flag pole was thrown out. That might be something that would look good. Tree was
thrown out. But largely, what the folks decided was the design where you have a slick -stick
stealth, meaning unfortunately, it is unlike this picture. But you have everything internalized
in that pole. And that is the design they felt most comfortable with. They didn't want a flag
on it because that would flap in the wind. They wanted just to see a pole. The height of this
is right at 90 feet. You've got some new plans, I think. This is still the older plan. But the
new plan shows the top of the structure. You have antennas that are internalized. So there
was some discussion about that in condition 2. The plan itself will be the revised plan that
shows the internalized. We got a picture of that which I can show you. There is actually
opaque material at the top of the pole, the antennas are put inside, so you really wouldn't
know by looking at this what it was designed for. This one is 90 feet. I think the light poles
at Little Neck are 110 feet: Just to give you some frame of reference. There is a pole at the
Wave Church at Great Neck Road that is actually 130 foot pole, again all with internalize
antennas. And what we said to the folks was, you know, take a look at the design at the
Wave Church, which is actually 40 feet taller. And they were comfortable with that design.
So, that was the design that we decided on. And unfortunately, as a result of some
engineering issues we were a little bit slow getting that to Faith, but that was the commitment
that we made to the community. Again, we met with the folks and they felt comfortable with
the design. I don't think there is anyone here today. We respectfully request that you
approve this given that it is a stealth design slick -stick and it is limited to 90 feet. I think, the
staff report says 95 feet, but it is actually a 90 foot structure. And, I'm happy to answer any
questions that you have.
Barry Knight: Are there any questions of Ms. Murphy at this time? Ms. Anderson.
Janice Anderson: So Ms. Murphy you would be happy with the deletion of the old number
two condition?
Lisa Murphy: Yes.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Barry Knight: Mr. Whitney, if you would, in our informal session today, we know there is a
study going on most cell towers, and specifically the ones in rural areas. Can you kind of
summarize for us our thoughts and your thoughts about why it probably wouldn't be a bad
idea to forward with this one today?
Jack Whitney: Yes sir. As you mentioned, staff has briefed the Commission last month, and
yesterday we provided a similar briefing to City Council. There are five Use Permits
applications for cell towers in the process. We thought it was helpful to both the Planning
Commission and City Council to provide information about the latest technology and answer
some of the frequently asked questions about such towers in terms of why they need to be
Item #7
New Cingular Wireless PCS, L.L.C.
Page 3
located where they are and why they need to be as tall. Can they be more stealthy? And
some of the land use impacts to the landscape and the surrounding neighbors have been
raised. There was one cell phone tower application, which was heard by City Council
yesterday. In lieu of that, and those issues, the City Council deferred that application for 45
days and directed the staff to look at alternatives including collocation of these facilities, this
infrastructure on other public infrastructure such as water towers, light poles, and so forth,
and private infrastructures such as private utilities power transmission lines for example. The
item yesterday was in the southern part of the city. There had been some opposition to it. I
believe this one: can be differentiated from those. First off, there is no opposition that I'm
aware of. It is not in the southern part of the city. Alternatives for collocation are drastically
reduced, if even present for this particular application. And, they are proposing a stealth type
technology. Slick -stick is a new term for me. So, I think that the fact that they're using
stealth technology, which was one of the issues raised by Council, it is not in the southern
part of the city, there are relatively few, if any, alternatives for collocation here, and there is
no opposition, I think differentiates this from some of the other similar applications that are
in the process right now.
Barry Knight: Thank you Mr. Whitney. Is there any discussion? Ms. Katsias?
Kathy Katsias: In accordance with Mr. Whitney's comments, I think.I would like to make a
motion to approve this application.
Barry Knight: Is that with the deletion of condition 2?
Kathy Katsias: With the deletion of condition 2.
Dorothy Wood: I would like to second it.
Barry Knight: Okay. There is a motion on the floor to approve by Kathy Katsias and
seconded by Dot Wood, also noted the deletion of condition 2. Is there any discussion? I'll
call for the question.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Prosperity Beach, L.L.C. for a Modification of Proffers of a
Change of Zoning approved by City Council on May 9, 2006. Property is located
at 1000 Eaglewood Drive (GPINs 2415581232; -1120; -2073; -1209; 2415488215).
DISTRICT 6 — BEACH
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
■ Background:
A Conditional Rezoning from AG -2 Agricultural District to Conditional B-2
Community Business District was approved by the City Council on May 9, 2006.
The Conditional Rezoning has five proffers.
■ Considerations:
The applicant desires to modify Proffer 1 from the 2006 rezoning, as the site
design had to be reconfigured to shift the proposed buildings north and south of
an existing 16 -inch water line that transverses the site. The actual location of the
water line was not determined until field investigations were performed after the
2006 rezoning. Additionally the previous approval allowed 37,000 square feet of
retail space to be dispersed in two buildings. The applicant wishes to increase
the retail space to 42,142 square feet in three buildings. Two of the buildings will
be parallel to the northern property line and contain 17,821 square feet each, and
a smaller building of 6,500 square feet will be parallel to the southern property
line.
This reconfiguration of the site due to the location of the utility easement is not a
significant change from the originally approved proposal. The total floor area of
the retail uses falls within parameters for a neighborhood commercial center, and
thus, the center is not likely to be a destination point for users other than those
living in the immediate area. The proposed development exhibits an attractive,
high quality design compatible with existing residential uses. The site design
lessens any potential negative impacts on the adjoining neighborhood due to
light pollution, signage, and safety concerns. Adequate landscaping is provided
to enhance the site layout and act as a buffer to residential uses.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
requested modification is minor, ensuring the continued compatibility of the use
with the surrounding area, and there was no opposition.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The Conditional Rezoning from AG -2 Agricultural District to Conditional B-2 Community Business
District was approved by the City Council on May 9, 2006. The Conditional Rezoning has five proffers,
which are provided below. The applicant desires to modify Proffer 1, because the site design had to be
reconfigured to shift the proposed buildings north and south of an existing 16 -inch water line that
transverses the site. The actual location of the water line was not determined until field investigations
were performed after the 2006 rezoning. Additionally the previous approval allowed 37,000 square feet of
retail space to be dispersed in two buildings. The applicant wishes to increase the retail space to 42,142
square feet in three buildings. Two of the buildings will be parallel to the northern property line and
contain 17,821 square feet each, and a smaller building of 6,500 square feet will be parallel to the
southern property line.

WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is a 12 -inch water line in Eaglewood Drive fronting the
site, and a 16 -inch water line within a utility easement running through the site.
SEWER: The site must connect to City sanitary sewer. There is an eight -inch sanitary sewer main in

PROSPERITY BEACH, L.L.C.
Agenda Item 6
Page 3
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being within the Primary Residential Area. Proposed
development within the Primary Residential Area should focus strongly on preserving and protecting the
overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods located in this area.
Evaluation:
The request for the modification of proffers to allow a redesign of the site and add an additional building is
acceptable. The reconfiguration of the site due to the location of the utility easement is not a significant
change from the originally approved proposal. The total floor area of the retail uses falls within
parameters for a neighborhood commercial center, and thus, the center is not likely to be a destination
point for users other than those living in the immediate area. The proposed development exhibits an
attractive, high quality design compatible with existing residential uses. The site design lessens any
negative impacts due to light pollution, signage, and safety concerns to ensure neighborhood
preservation. Adequate landscaping is provided to enhance the site layout and act as a buffer to
residential uses.
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,"
(§107(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:
Proffer number 1 in the 2005 Proffers is amended to read: "When the Property is developed, it shall be
developed and landscaped substantially as shown on the "LAYOUT PLAN FOR PROSPERITY BEACH
RETAIL SHOPPES AT EAGLEWOOD DRIVE AND OCEANA BOULEVARD VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA",
prepared by Site Improvement Associates, dated 4/10/07, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach
City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning (hereinafter the "Site Plan").
PROFFER 2:
All of the terms, conditions, servitudes and agreements set forth in the 2005 Proffers recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, as Instrument #20060519000756440, save
an except Proffer #1, as specifically amended and modified herein, shall remain in force and effect, running
with the Property and binding upon the Property and upon all parties and persons claiming under, by or
through the Grantor, its heirs, personal representatives, assigns, tenants, and other successors in interest or
title.
STAFF COMMENTS: The proffers are acceptable as they insure the site will be developed in accordance
with the submitted preliminary site and elevation plans. The submitted preliminary site plan depicts a
coordinated development of the site in terms of design, landscaping, parking layout, and traffic control and
circulation within the site.
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the proffer agreement dated December 20, 2007, and found it to be
legally sufficient and in acceptable legal form.

Modification of Conditions. We greatly appreciate being on placed on the consent agenda.
can tell you that I've got a number of calls from the folks in the Redwing community who

modifications didn't involved them going away. So, I think they're looking forward to this.
Thank you very:much.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Okay. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent
agenda? Seeing none, the Chairman has asked Jay Bernas to review this item.
Jay Bernas: This item had a Conditional Rezoning that was approved on May 9, 2006 and
had five proffers. The applicant desires to modify the first proffer as during the field
investigations they found a sixteen inch city waterline that traverses the site. So, the
applicant would like to reconfigure the site and increase the retail space from 37,000 square
feet to approximately 42,000 square feet, and have three buildings. Two buildings will be
parallel to the northern property line and will be 17,821 square feet each, and the smaller
building would be 6,500 square feet and would be parallel to the southern property line. The
Commission felt this was approvable and we placed it on the consent agenda.

AGENDA ITEM ,
ITEM: Application of BQI Group, Inc. for a Modification of Proffers of a Change of
Zoning approved by City Council on August 10, 2004 (ALCAR, L.L.C.). Property is
located on the south side of Bonney Road, approximately 120 feet west of
Windbrooke Lane (GPIN 1467901254). DISTRICT 2 — KEMPSVILLE
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
■ Background:
On March 25, 2008, the City Council deferred this application to April 8, at the
request of the applicant.
A Conditional Rezoning from R -5D Residential District and A-12 Apartment
District to Conditional A-18 Apartment District was approved by the City Council
on August 10, 2004. The plan proffered with that rezoning consisted of 48
townhomes in a condominium form of ownership, at a density of 8.7 units per
acre. Since the townhomes are in a condominium form of ownership rather than
each townhome being on a separate lot, the use under the Zoning Ordinance is
considered to be multi -family dwelling rather than attached dwelling.
Nineteen of the units approved in 2004 have been built; however, due to the
downturn in the housing market, the applicant is requesting that the original
proffers be modified to permit a smaller dwelling unit and to increase the number
of dwelling units by nine, for a total of 57.
■ Considerations:
The existing 19 developed units are 24 and 34 -foot wide, include garages, and
are on the market for $249,000 to $289,000. They contain between 1,800 and
2,300 square feet while the proffered minimum dwelling size is actually 1,600
square feet. The new units proposed by the applicant will have a floor area
between 1,600 and 1,680 square feet, which will allow for a 20 -foot wide unit
without a garage. These units will range in price from $238,000 to $243,000. The
applicant claims that this change will enable them "to pick up additional units
which in turn helps to dilute the land and development cost, which translates to a
substantially lower price." Proffer 6 of the 2004 zoning change limits the number
of dwellings to 48 and Proffer 7 dictates the exterior elevations. In order for the
applicant to construct the additional units as desired, a modification of the 2004
proffers is required.
BQI Group, Inc.
Page 2 of 2
The applicant is pleased with the existing units already built on the property, but
requests the modification because the townhomes are not selling in the existing
real estate market. According to the applicant, this is primarily due to the price
point, which is directly related to the floor area size of the units and the inclusion
of a garage. The proposed two-story townhome elevation, proposed to replace
the original two-story townhome elevation with a garage, is architecturally
compatible with the original proposal; however, the elimination of the garage and
a reduction in the floor area of the units will allow the applicant to introduce a
lower price point.
The additional nine (9) units will not reduce the degree of compatibility of the
project with the surrounding A-12 Apartment District, R -5D Residential District,
and Conditional B-2 Community Business District zonings. There are single-
family dwellings across Bonney Road, but both the original and the currently
proposed site configuration and layout depict the closest dwelling to Bonney
Road at approximately 75 feet. This does not change with this proposal. The
proposed density of 10.71 units per acre is still well below the typical 18 units per
acre afforded other parcels zoned A-18 Apartment District (the reason for use of
the A-18 zoning category is that the proposed lot coverage of the development
exceeds the maximum of 40 percent permitted in the A-12 District)
■ Recomrriendations:
The Planning Commission voted 5-6 on a motion to approve the application;
thus, the request stood as denied.

Subject: BQI Group, Inc. Application
Dear Council Members:
VBgov. com
MUNICIPAL CENTER
BUILDING 1. ROOM 234
2401 COURTHOUSE DRIVE
VIRGINIA BEACH. VIRGINIA 234569001
The modification of proffers application before you on March 25 raises several questions
and concerns. These were discussed and are reflected in the transcript of the Planning
Commission meeting minutes of March 12, 2008. The Commission's action denied the
request by a 5 to 6 vote on the approval motion. The Planning staff had recommended
approval of the proffer modifications based upon a desire to keep the project viable, the
lack of objection from the owners of the nineteen units already sold, and the maintenance
of architectural quality on the proposed smaller units.
I do not share the view of the Planning staff on this application and in discussion with
them last week believe a significant policy issue is presenting itself more frequently as
conditions in the economy deteriorate. That issue is simply: Does the City Council have
a need or obligation to change conditions on previously approved development
applications to offset changes in market conditions? We are seeing increasing numbers
of this type of request. Planning staff indicates that many never advance to Council level
since they clearly diverge from the original set of approval conditions. Lately, several
requests have reached your meetings for decision. When do these types of modification
requests simply represent almost a traditional "bait -and -switch"? Related to that question
is another criteria we need to consider if the request was submitted originally in the
newly modified forum, would it have been approved?
Members of City Council
Subject: BQI Group, Inc. Application
March 24, 2008
Page 2
On the BQI application at hand, I would hope the answer would be "no, it would not have
been approved". The deletion of the garage units, increased density, and reduction in size
of the units literally takes us back to the type of townhouse development of the 1970's
where the streets are lined with parking pads directly backing in to the travel lanes. With
the proposed twenty -foot wide dwelling units, virtually the entire front yard is parking
area. Also, with the deletion of the garage units comes a severe lack of storage space
which can manifest outdoor storage that further detracts from the appearance and long-
term value of the project. If any community should have learned how not to design
townhouse developments, it should be us based upon some of the 1970's projects.
The approval of the changes requested—deletion of garages, smaller/narrower units,
increased density, less open space—represents a permanent degradation in the value,
quality, and appearance of this neighborhood as a response to a short-term change in
market conditions. The market will hopefully turn positive in a year or two; while the
changes requested are not reversible. We need to be concerned about the long term.
Finally, although the owners of the nineteen units already sold have not objected, making
changes like those proposed once a project is well underway is disconcerting and will in
all likelihood reduce the value of the units already constructed and purchased by
individual buyers.
For the reasons above, my recommendation is for denial of the requested proffer
modifications. Further, it is suggested that Council and staff should discuss the impact of
the current economic downturn on previously approved developments in order that clear
policy direction can be provided to the Planning staff and importantly that we don't
unwittingly establish a precedent for other such requests.
Sincerely,
J es Spore

on August 10, 2004.

ADDRESS/ DESCRIPTION: Property located on the south side of Bonney Road, approximately 100 feet
west of Windbrooke Lane
GPIN: COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE:
14679012540000 2 - KEMPSVILLE 5.23 acres
The Conditional Rezoning from R -5D Residential District and SUMMARY OF REQUEST
A-12 Apartment District to Conditional A-18 Apartment District
was approved by the City Council on August 10, 2004. The application consisted of 48 townhomes in a
condominium form of ownership, at a density of 8.7 units per acre. Since the townhomes are in a
condominium form of ownership rather than each townhome being on a separate lot, the use under the
Zoning Ordinance is considered to be multi -family dwelling rather than attached dwelling. Due to the 40
percent lot coverage requirement for the A-12 Apartment District for multi -family dwellings, the 2004
request was for A-18 rather than A-12 since the A-18 District permits greater lot coverage (50 percent).
Part of the need for additional coverage on the site was the desire of the applicant to include additional
parking spaces, above the minimum required by the Zoning Ordinance, in an effort to accommodate
guest and overflow parking needs.
The proffered townhouse elevations depicted a superior design with high quality building materials such
as Hardiplank® (cement fiberboard) and earth -tone brick. Nineteen of the units approved in 2004 have
been built; however, due to the downturn in the housing market, the applicant is requesting that the
original proffers be modified to permit a smaller dwelling unit and to increase the number of dwelling units
by nine, for a total of 57. The existing 19 developed units are 24 and 34 -foot wide, include garages, and
are on the market for $249,000 to $289,000. They contain between 1,800 and 2,300 square feet while
the proffered minimum dwelling size is actually 1,600 square feet. The revised units will have a floor area
between 1,600 and 1,680 square feet, which will allow for a 20 -foot wide unit without a garage. These
units will range in price from $238,000 to $243,000. The applicant claims that this change will enable

them "to pick up additional units which in turn helps to dilute the land and development cost, which
translates to a substantially lower price." Proffer 6 of the 2004 zoning change limits the number of
dwellings to 48, and Proffer 7 dictates the exterior elevations. In order for the applicant to construct the
additional units as desired, a modification is required. The requested modification would permit up to 57
units and allow a change to the exterior of the units (primarily the absence of a garage). The high quality,
exterior building materials as originally proffered will remain as such.
The 2004 Conditional Rezoning has proffers:
PROFFER # 1
When the Property is developed, the "BONNEY'S QUAY REZONING EXHIBIT," dated May 20, 2004
("Concept Plan"), which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Bonney
Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a two-lane undivided minor urban arterial. The MTP
proposes an undivided roadway within a 70 foot right-of-way. The current Pembroke Area
Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CIP 2-238) involves a transportation study for the Central
Business District and adjacent area surrounding Town Center. This study is developing short-term, mid-
term, and long-term alternatives for transportation needs in the area. As part of the possible long-term
improvements, there are currently several conceptual alignments that utilize a portion of Bonney Road
for a new roadway that bypasses the Independence Boulevard and Interstate 264 interchange for traffic
heading towards Virginia Beach Boulevard. Although the subject site of this application will not be
directly impacted by the roadway alignment, this portion of Bonney Road may see a dramatic increase
in traffic due to vehicles destined for Witchduck Road from the north. It must be emphasized, however,
that no roadway alternatives for this study have been approved to this date.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted modification to the proffers. The revised
proffers are provided below.
Evaluation:
The site plan approved by City Council in 2004 depicted 48 units at a total density of 8.8 units per acre.
This proposal adds another nine (9) units to the property for a density of 10.71 units per acre. If it were
not for the more: restrictive lot coverage requirement found in the Zoning Ordinance for the A-12
Apartment District, the applicant would have originally, and currently, requested a rezoning to Conditional
A-12 rather than A-18. The maximum lot coverage requirement for the A-12 district is limited to 40
percent; the maximum coverage goes up to 50 percent in the A-18 district. While the applicant is pleased
with the existing units already built on the property, the modification is requested because the townhomes
are not selling in the existing real estate market. According to the applicant, this is primarily due to the
price point, which is directly related to the floor area size of the units and the inclusion of a garage. The
proposed two-story townhome elevation, proposed to replace the original two-story townhome elevation
with a garage, is architecturally compatible with the original proposal; however, the elimination of the
garage and a reduction in the floor area of the units will allow the applicant to introduce a lower price
point. The minimum square footage, originally proffered at 1,600 square feet, will not change with this
modification. The applicant anticipates that the introduction of the smaller, two-story townhomes without a
garage will create additional activity and interest.
Staff concludes that this townhouse development with the additional nine (9) units will remain compatible
with the surrounding A-12 Apartment District, R -5D Residential District, and Conditional B-2 Community
Business District zonings. There are single-family dwellings across Bonney Road, but both the original
and the currently proposed site configuration and layout depict the closest dwelling to Bonney Road at
approximately 75 feet. This does not change with this proposal. The proposed density of 10.71 units per
acre is still actually proffered well below the typical 18 units per acre afforded other parcels zoned A-18

Agenda Item 7
Page 4
Apartment District. As stated above, the reason for use of the A-18 zoning category is that the proposed
lot coverage of the development exceeds the maximum of 40 percent permitted in the A-12 District.
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,"
(§107(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:
Proffer number "1" in the 2004 Proffers is amended to read: When the Property is developed, it shall be in
substantial accordance with the "SITE PLAN FOR BONNEY'S QUAY GPIN #1467-90-1254," dated 12-07-
07, prepared by Hassell & Folkes, P.C., which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is
on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning ("Site Plan").
PROFFER 2:
Proffer number "6" in the 2004 Proffers is amended to read: The total number of dwelling units permitted to

Design Associates ("2004 Elevation"). The architectural design of the residential buildings containing units
numbered 1 through 24; 30 through 38 and 53 through 57 as designated on the Site Plan will be
substantially as depicted on the exhibits entitled "Composite Front Elevation — Bonney's Quay," dated
January 30, 2004, prepared by Reich Design Associates ("2007 Elevations"). The 2004 Elevation and 2007
Elevations have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia Beach
Department of Planning. The primary exterior building materials shall be brick and hardiplank siding, and the
colors used may vary from those on the exhibits but all will be earth tones.
PROFFER 4:
All of the terms, conditions, covenants, servitudes and agreements set forth in the 2004 Proffers recorded in
the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, as Instrument #

REGULAR
Donald Horsley: The next item is item 7, BQI Group, Inc. An application of BQI Group,
Inc. for a Modification of Conditions for a request approved by City Council on August 10,
2004 (Alcar, L.L.C.). The property is located on the south side of Bonney Road,
approximately 120 feet west of Windbrooke Lane, District 2, Kempsville. Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you Mr. Horsley. Madame Chair, for the record, my name is Eddie
Bourdon, a Virginia Beach attorney, and I represent the BQI Group, Inc. I want to point out
that Alan Resh is a member of BQI Group, Inc., as well as the applicant in the preceding
request. It was my pleasure to represent this application when it came along initially under
Alcar, L.L.C. for this rezoning on this infill assemblage of property that they put together. It
is property that is entirely surrounded by development at 12 units per acre as part of
Kempsville Lakes. The rezoning of this piece of property, even though it is an A-18 was an
attempt to shoot high. That is exactly what occurred here relative to the other developments
in this area. The A-18 was not high density but high quality. We actually were at 8.8 units
per acre, and have developed part of the property as a condominium in accordance with those
proffers. Unfortunately, as most of you know, and there are a lot of other residential
rezonings at Sandler Development just down the street that are at 36 units per acre. This
area, is along our main transportation corridor. What is happening in this area separate from
the preserved single-family neighborhoods, which this does not adjoin, we are talking about
increasing density in this area. The proposal being developed has run into financial issues
with regard to the marketability of these units. And, those units, and there are 19 of them,
those units have been mostly sold. A few of them are closing this month. All of the buyers,
and there are, I believe, are two or three investors, but the rest of them are owner occupied.
They have all agreed to these modifications. Because they recognize that the community,
and in order to keep continuing to move forward and thrive, needs to be high quality, which
this modification reflects, but the price points need to have a mixture and to be brought
down. That is what's happening here. The new proposed modification, the new units,
involve the exact same architecture that you see with what's out there. The same exact
building materials. There is no change in that aspect of this at all. It is high quality and that
is why all of the people who are out there have agreed to these modifications, as they must,
because it is a condominium that we're modifying. What were doing is making the units
smaller, yet they're still larger than what was proffered initially. What was proffered initially
is that the units would have 1,600 square feet minimum of living area, and we have still
maintained that with this. All that we're doing is we are removing the garage component,
which is a cost item and allows the units to be sold at a lesser price. But we're still above the
Item #7
BQI Group, Inc.
Page 2
price of the higher density units that surround us, so it is still a quality development. Were
not trying to undermine it by just putting up something that's poor quality vinyl siding or
whatever. You can use all those cliches. What we are trying to do is fit this in the
marketplace and try to maintain this community as a viable and a valuable community. The
prices that are listed in here, and as you all know, and Mr. Macali will certainly tell you, is
that you can't proffer prices. We're just giving you information. We've been totally upfront
with everybody in this process. We haven't tried to hide any agendas. We say exactly with
we're doing and exactly why were doing it. That is what we're after. There was a discussion
this morning that there is a parking problem. I would disagree with that. We've added
parking. Before, we had 96 parking spaces; now, we've got 151 parking spaces. We got 37
parking spaces more than is required for this development. The total number of units is 57.
So, we are well over 2'h parking spaces per unit and two is all that is required. And you are
correct that there are some communities in this city where you got two and only two or two
and a fraction. I've seen a lot of them, and I know a number of you all have and staff has
clearly. This particular community is not lacking, as designed, for parking. We've added
parking with this application. So, our point simply is that the plan doesn't really change. It
is just the type of unit changes. The materials are the same. The architecture is the same. We
just don't have garages, and this is in order to keep this community moving forward, make it
a positive addition to the area that is surrounding rather than having it sit there have nothing
selling. That is the reason for this. The additional density, and we are still at 10 units per
acre, is still below what is around us. Frankly, I believe that if we came in with this project
to be begin with, it would have been approved to begin with. That is absolutely my belief.
But we are doing everything that we can do to keep this project moving forward in a positive
way and a high quality way. It does give up a little bit of a different price point. We got 19
units at one price point and these units will be a different price pint. But again, the market„
depending on how it goes, the price point may go down. Hopefully, it will slip by and go up.
With that, I'll be happy to answer any questions that any of you may have about the project.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. There are no further speakers so any questions. Go ahead.
Henry Livas: There are no speakers in opposition?
Janice Anderson: No.
Eddie Bourdon: All the people in the community have signed on and support the application.
Henry Livas: Now the people that are already there, they don't consider this depreciating
their property or anything like that?
Eddie Bourdon: Because we haven't gone in and undercut. That is what were trying not to
do is undercut the market for their homes. There is a reduction in value of the units but the
units are reduced in value because they don't have garages. People will pay more for a
garage. You've got more space because of the garage. That is the balance that we have been
trying to strike here. You can go into some of the older neighborhoods that were developed
before Conditional Rezoning back in the 70s where they start out with nice high quality
Item #7
BQI Group, Inc.
Page 3
building materials and the market is not there, and they switch over to stuff that is not quite
as nice. We all that have been in the real estate business know the city and know those type
of communities exist. And because of the benefit, and that is why I look at this morning, and
this morning, some of the comments that I would characterize as half empty, I actually look
at it the other way. I think it is half full. But the reality is because of this process, because of
this control, we don't have those problems that we had at the last downturn or two downturns
back, and they weren't selling, so they just cut the quality of the project. We have to make
everybody happy so the quality of the product isn't being diminished here. So, our point of
view is that we're trying to make this and continue to make this to be a high quality
community, and the people in the community recognize this, and they recognize the
marketing struggles that are existing today with these townhomes with garages.
Henry Livas: Did you also say that the price after you reduced is still higher than the
surrounding high quality units?
Eddie Bourdon: The units in the surrounding community, not the units in this.
Henry Livas: I'm talking about surrounding communities.
Eddie Bourdon: Yes. In the community that surrounds us, yes.
Henry Livas: Aren't you going to have to lower it even more to compete with them?
Eddie Bourdon: Well, we don't think so. Because we think we are above. We believe these
units as modified are better than the units that are in the community that surrounds this
community. I don't want to be knocking someone else's community. But these units will be
higher value, high price units than those that are in the higher density development that is
adjacent to us.
Janice Anderson: Eddie, I'll bring it back it up. I believe there is a speaker here who may
not have signed up. Sir?
Kathy Katsias: I'll sponsor.
Janice Anderson: Okay. Thank you. Welcome. Please state your name.
Thank you. My name is Alan Resh. I am part of the owner with BQI. I appreciate you
letting me come up and speak even though I haven't signed up. I wanted to speak to Mr.
Livas' question about values. And, in difference to Mr. Bourdon, he wasn't privy to our
discussion with regards to values. We didn't fill him in, so he was trying to work. And he
was 95 percent correct. I want to go directly to your question, which is value. We actually
have increased the value. Okay. What we are doing is we are reducing the size, but the
value of these units on a square foot basis, are higher than the units that are being sold in
there now. Our square foot value pricing on the units that exist are running around $135 a
square foot. Each unit will be priced in and around $135 to $146 a square foot. So, in true
Item #7
BQI Group, Inc.
Page 4
value, we are maintaining the value of those units and exactly increasing. As far as
competing with the market, what Mr. Sandler has down the street and his development down
there, we are very competitive with that product. I think we've done our homework to look
at the product to make sure and ensure that we're not overvaluing what we're building in
comparison to what they have. And, as a result of their opening in the last month or so, we
have seen a marked increase in traffic in our development. We are very excited about the
outcome here. And the owners of the properties that are in there now are very excited about
seeing the job moving forward at a better pace. Thank you very much.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Resh. Does anybody else have a question for Eddie or do
we just want to go to discussion?
Eugene Crabtree: I have one question that I was going to ask.
Janice Anderson: Eddie, do you mind coming back up?
Eugene Crabtree: Eddie. I might consider asking Mr. Resh this. Just for the record, how
does this fit into the workforce housing? I know that the price is below the amount that
requires affordable housing and workforce housing to be included. But how does this
overall fit into that workforce housing for the working community, so to speak?
Eddie Bourdon: Well, at the price points that are referenced in here, assuming those price
points hold, you certainly are in a position to capture buyers who are in the income categories
that workforce ho=using is shooting at. So, it does make it more accessible. That is for sure.
But, it isn't down in the upper 100's, you now $180, 190, 200, that would capture a greater
percentage of those people in that income range. But it makes it more accessible for people
who are in our workforce. No doubt about it. As long as these interest rates that we
currently have are present, a lot of people who are in the middle of the income categories can
afford if they have; a little bit of a down payment of these units.
Eugene Crabtree: I know you are not in the category that requires you to have workforce
housing units in there. Have you considered having them anyway?
Eddie Bourdon: Again, trying to maintain the balance that we tried to achieve in this project,
I think, as you all well know, from having seen the reaction of the public to that monitor, that
would be, I suspect close to impossible to sell to the people who are already in these units.
So, I think that is a road block that we can't get over.
Eugene Crabtree: I just wanted to bring it out into the open.
Eddie Bourdon: It isn't lost on, us but I just don't think it is feasible or practical in this
situation.

Henry Livas: While we're on the subject of workforce housing, I kind of view this as a
workforce situation. It is not officially one, but I think the intent can be construed as
workforce housing.
Eddie Bourdon: You certainly can interpret it that way. But for reasons I think you can
understand, we aren't putting that up a flagpole.
Janice Anderson: Are there any other questions? Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you.
Janice Anderson: I'll open it up for discussion. Go ahead David.
David Redmond: I'm uncomfortable with this. I'm still uncomfortable as I was this
morning, and I'm still uncomfortable with this for two reasons. Number one because I
shared Jay's view, at least this morning, he may evolve. We've had a hard time as a city
screening around after the fact in trying to compensate from miscalculations in what the
market will bear. It is a lousy market for residential real estate. If there are problems in
selling these homes, it is likely because it is a lousy market for residential real estate. Not
because they are too large, because they have garages, or because they don't. My objection
this morning and today is not how much parking there is. It never was. It is to the kind of
parking that is there. The city is replete with examples of multi -family housing with cars that
spill out in to the street and all over the driveways. Americans have more cars today than
they ever have. I'm reluctant after the fact, because this might have been a miscalculation, to
then encourage. I think high end development intends to put those cars out onto the street
rather than into a garage. I'm not going to live or die based on it, but I just have a bad feeling
about it. For those two reasons, I don't like the fact that about the application that it says
"we're not selling," lets go back and yank the garages out of them and make it smaller. I
don't think that is really the problem. The problem is a bad real estate market. There are lots
of folks who have been caught up in that. I don't think it ought to be incumbent upon this
Commission for the City to go around each and every case, and to do that again, and then
grant changes to the proffers that were offered, or we're going to start to do an awful lot of it
with regard to residential real estate. So, I can be convinced, I suppose, but my gut feeling is
that I'm uncomfortable with it for those two reasons.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Dave. Jay?
Jay Bernas: Just to echo Commissioner Redmond's concerns, I think the whole philosophy
behind the way this report is written and the argument that it says that they can pick up
additional units, which in turn helps dilute the land and development costs, I think we're
setting a precedent here. Where there are a number of developments that are ongoing that
aren't at the density, they're not at the 12 units per acre, and they may be coming in saying,
hey, for the same reasons, I need to pick up additional units to help dilute the land and
development costs. It just makes me uncomfortable, as well as that being the philosophy, but
then again, I'm on the fence with the applicant where he says that if this came in today with
Item #7
BQI Group, Inc.
Page 6
this number of units at this density, would this be approvable? And the answer is probably
yes. So, I'm kind of on the fence, and I'm split between the two issues, but I'm really
uncomfortable with the whole philosophy about going in after the fact and increasing the
density, and then how much this is going to set a precedent for all of the other developers out
there that are mid -stream that are saying, hey, this guy got this, and use that as his argument.
If he needed to pick up more units to help dilute the land and development costs, this is not
going to be the first one. Now this is going to continue to occur in this market, and what we
don't need are moire units on the market. So, I'm still on the fence.
David Redmond: My view of that, frankly, is if this could have been approved in this format
when it came before us before, then it should have come before us in this format before. I
don't think it is necessarily incumbent upon the City then to compensate each and every case
when this is going to occur in a bad market for this miscalculation. It probably could be, but
that wasn't what was brought before us. Do we then and for each and every case, go around
and do this again and again. I'm uncomfortable doing that.
Janice Anderson: Henry?
Henry Livas: I think we've already changed one on South Plaza Trail near Brenneman
Farms. I can't think of the name of that development but they certainly came in, and we
made some changes. Maybe you all can't, but I think we should approve it, because we've
got the other buyers there. They're agreeing, and they're the ones that are going to be heard if
anybody. And also the fact that if he brought this in before, just the way it is now, we would
have approved it. So, I don't think we ought to penalize him for trying to be up fromt and
finding out that they're not making any money there, and might want to make some
adjustments. He also has a tendency to serve some of the clients who can't afford those
upper end houses.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Henry. Is there any other discussion? Do I have a motion?
Henry Livas: I would move that we approve the modification of proffers.
Janice Anderson: Do I have a second? (There was no second to the motion). Do I have an
alternate motion?
David Redmond: I move that we deny the request.
Janice Anderson: Do I have a second on the alternate motion?
Jay Bemas: Can ]i modify the motion by adding an addendum to that?
Barry Knight: With the consent of the primary maker of the motion.
Jay Bernas: With your consent, I'm okay with the modification to remove the garages but
not for the increase in density. No?

David Redmond: I don't have any objection to you making that motion.
Janice Anderson: Do I have a second do Mr. Redmond's motion for denial? (There was no

Barry Knight: If Mr. Livas wants to revive his motion, I'll second Mr. Livas' motion.
Henry Livas: What revision?
Barry Knight: No. If you would restate your motion Mr. Livas, I'll second your motion.
Henry Livas: Oh, okay. That is that we approve the modification of the proffers to enable
the elimination of the garages and all of the things that he is requesting in this proposal.
Janice Anderson: A motion by Henry Livas to approve with the stated proffers and seconded
by Barry Knight.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Residential Investment Properties, Inc. for a Change of
Zoning District Classification from R-10 Residential District to Conditional A-12
Apartment District on property located at 827 and 835 Muth Lane (GPINs
1468520987; -1942; 1468530086; -0170; -1205). DISTRICT 4 — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
■ Background:
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing properties, zoned R-10
Residential, to Conditional A-12 Apartment District for the purpose of developing
the site with nine (9) townhome style dwellings. The total site is 1.19 acres and
the proposed density is 7.6 units to the acre. Surrounding zoning includes A-12
and Conditional A-18 Apartment districts developed at 12 units to the acre.
The site is located within a Primary Residential Area as identified on the
Comprehensive Plan Map. 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 established type, size, and relationship of land use, both
residential and non-residential, in and around these neighborhoods should serve
as a guide when considering future development.
■ Considerations:
The proffered site plan depicts three (3) groups of buildings with three (3) units
each. The buildings are situated 79 -feet from Newtown Road, 38 -feet from the
side property lines, and 58 -feet from the proposed rear property line. A
stormwater management facility with landscaping provides a visually interesting
entrance feature, and a 10 -foot landscaped area along the rear of the site
provides a buffer for the adjacent residential dwelling to the north. A ten -foot
ingress/egress (lane) along the eastern portion of the site, recorded in Map Book
8 at Page 26, provides legal access to the dwelling to the north.
The proposed dwellings are traditional in design with Palladian style windows
and square dormers. A brick water table and horizontal, faux -shake siding
provide architectural detail to the proposed structures. Each unit has a parking
space, garage, and 20 -foot by 25 -foot fenced area in the rear.
Residential Investment Properties, Inc.
Page 2 of 2
The proposed nine -unit townhome-style development complies with the
Comprehensive Plan policies established for this portion of the Primary
Residential Area. The submitted proffers ensure a functional site plan; attractive
building architecture and the use of quality building materials; a proposed density
that is less than the surrounding multi -family developments; a stormwater
management facility that is both functional and an aesthetic site amenity; and the
provision of an adequate amount of landscape screening and buffering, including
rear yard privacy fences. These development provisions continue to enhance the
overall community character, economic value, and quality of life improvements
that have steadily evolved in this area of Bayside.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
proposal is consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, the
proffers ensure compatibility of the development with surrounding land uses, and
there was no opposition.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0 to
approve this request as proffered.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Newtown
Road in front of this application is a two-lane undivided minor suburban arterial. A Capital Improvement
Program project is slated for this area. Newtown Road Phase IV (CIP 2.871) is for construction of a four -
lane undivided highway from Diamond Springs Road to Haygood Road. Currently, this project is on the
requested but not funded project listing. This development is not expected to adversely affect the over-
capacity roadways within the Bayside District.
• Right-of-way improvements will be required along Newtown Road. These improvements include
pavement widening, curb and gutter, sidewalk, and streetlight improvements. The curb and
gutter and sidewalk must line up with the existing improvements on the western adjacent
property.
• The entrance into the development must be in accordance with the City of Virginia Beach Public
Works Standards. The geometry will be assessed during Site Plan review.
• A dedication of 23 feet along Newtown Road, such that the ultimate right-of-way of 100 feet, in
accordance with the Master Transportation Plan, amended 10/12/04, is achieved may be in
order to provide the necessary right-of-way improvements.
• Any, further development of these or adjacent lots for the purpose of this development may
require modifications to the entrance location.

WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is a 10 -inch City main along Newtown Road.
SEWER: This site must connect to City sanitary sewer. There is an eight -inch City gravity main along the
western edge of the property in a 30 -foot public utility easement, and an eight -inch City gravity main along
Newtown Road, which ends 5 -feet before the eastern property line. Extension of the sanitary sewer to the site
will be required. The site is located within Pump Station 362 area. Extension of the gravity main within the
western edge of the property will require analysis of Pump Station 362 and the sanitary sewer collection
system to ensure future flows can be accommodated. If the gravity sanitary sewer is extended along Newtown
Road, analysis of Pump Station 344 and the sanitary sewer collection system is required to ensure future flows
can be accommodated. Also, connecting to Pump Station 344 will require upgrade fees since the site is
outside of the service area.
POLICE: The applicant is encouraged to employ the use of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
(CPTED) strategies with regard to street lighting and open space areas. A Lighting Plan and / or Photometric
Diagram Plan will be submitted during detailed site plan review. Lighting should overlap and be uniform
throughout the development.
SCHOOLS: Given this application is for only nine townhome-style dwellings, the impact of such a small
development is negligible, especially compared to the few single-family homes that could be constructed on
the site. The property is assigned to Newtown Elementary, Bayside Middle, and Bayside High schools.
Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the submitted proffers. The proffers are provided below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The site is located within a Primary Residential Area as identified on the Comprehensive Plan Map. 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 established type, size, and relationship of land use, both residential and non-
residential, in and around these neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering future
development.

buffering, including rear yard privacy fences. These development provisions continue to enhance the
overall community character, economic value, and quality of life improvements that have steadily evolved
in this area of Bayside. Staff, therefore, recommends approval.

proposed density is 10.7 units per to the acre. The surrounding zoning includes A-12 and
Conditional A-18 Apartment Districts developed at 12 units to the acre. The submitted
site plan depicts three groups of buildings with three units each. A stormwater
management facility with landscaping provides a visually interesting entrance feature and
a 10 foot landscaped area along the rear of the site provides a buffer for the adjacent
residential dwelling to the north. The proposed dwellings are traditional in design with
Palladian style windows and square dormers. Each unit has a parking space, garage, and
20 -foot by 25 -foot fenced area in the rear. The proposed development complies with the
Comprehensive Plan policies established for this portion of the primary residential area.
The proffers ensure a functional site plan, attractive building architecture and the use of
quality building materials, a proposed density that is less than the surrounding multi-
family developments, a stormwater management facility that is both functional and an
aesthetic site amenity. And adequate landscape screening and buffering include rear yard
privacy fences. These development provisions continue to enhance the overall
community character, economic value, and the quality of life improvements ongoing in
this area of Bayside. It is very exciting. The Planning staff recommends approval, and
the Commission hereby concurs by consent. Thank you.

AGENDA ITEM ,
ITEM: Application of West Neck Partners, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from AGA and AG -2 Agricultural District to Conditional 0-2 Office
District on property located on the east side of West Neck Road, approximately
250 feet south of North Landing Road (GPIN 1494708583). DISTRICT 7 —
PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
■ Background:
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing site, zoned AG -1 and AG -2
Agricultural District, to 0-2 Office District for the purpose of developing an office
complex. The parcel is currently undeveloped.
The Comprehensive Plan designates the site as being within the Transition Area
/ Princess Anne. The land use planning policies and principles focus strongly on
promoting this area as a well-planned, low density, fiscally sound and desirable
destination for people to live, work, and play.
"The policies of this Comprehensive Plan have been designed to ensure that the
Transition Area continues to be a well-planned area. Employment, mixed use,
and residential centers, each with its own open space and trail system, will be
clustered along and connected to the public greenway offering a variety of quality
home and work environments," (page 143). "The site and building design of office
development with the Transition Area should be of exceptional quality and should
serve to showcase the area within which they are located," (page 149).
■ Considerations:
The proposal features a wide landscaped buffer adjacent to West Neck Road
that conceals a park -like setting for five office buildings. The buildings front a loop
road bisected by pedestrian crossings to a common green. A multi-purpose trail
system is incorporated around the perimeter of the site.
The buildings for the office development are designed in a southern rural
vernacular style with two and three story covered porches or verandas and
clapboard siding exterior. Shingled hip roofs with dormers top the buildings and
provide a cover for the porches.
West Neck Partners, L.L.C.
Page 2of2
As a portion of the site is located within the Historical and Cultural District, the
Historic Review Board has reviewed the proposed development, and the
applicant has received a preliminary Certificate of Appropriateness based on the
conceptual drawings. This preliminary Certificate of Appropriateness is subject to
final review by the Historical Review Board of all architectural rendered
elevations, building details, materials lists, landscaping, lighting, signage and site
plans upon approval of the this conditional rezoning by City Council.
Staff concludes that the proposal is consistent with the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan pertaining to design and quality and compatibility and is
thus suitable for the Transition Area.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
site and building design ensure a quality development appropriate to the
Transition Area, and there was no opposition to the proposal.

back to the applicant's engineer. A revised TIS, dated January 30, 2008, has been determined to be
WEST NECK PARTNERS, LLC
Agenda Item 1
Page 2
acceptable. Three required improvements included in the Conclusions and Recommendations section of the
revised TIS are as follows:
1. A full -width 150 -foot right turn lane with a 150 -foot taper should be installed on the northbound West
Neck Road approach to the site entrance.
2. The entrance should be designed to meet City of Virginia Beach standards for commercial street
access to a City street.
3. The existing median crossover on West Neck Road immediately south of North Landing Road should
be relocated to the site's entrance by extending the nose of the raised median. The relocated median
crossover will serve as interim site access until the West Neck Road improvements are installed, at
which time this median crossover will be closed.
With the completion of the widening of West Neck Road to four lanes from North Landing Road to Signature
Drive and the installation of a raised median, this site will not have a median opening and will be limited to
right-in/right-out traffic from West Neck Road. Traffic going to the site from the north on West Neck Road will
be required to make a U-turn at the proposed Manchester Station median crossover and traffic from the site
heading south on West Neck Road will be required to make a U-turn at North Landing Road.
The Department of Public Works reserves the right to provide future comments if and when site plan
improvements for the property are submitted to the City of Virginia Beach for review.
WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is a 12 inch City water line in West Neck Road fronting
this site.
SEWER: This site must connect to City sanitary sewer. Analysis of Pump Station #636 and the sanitary sewer
collection system is required to ensure future flows can be accommodated. There is a 12 inch City gravity
sanitary sewer main and a 10 inch City force main in West Neck Road fronting the site.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT: Comments pertaining to this proposal will be provided during the
Development Services Center plan review.
FIRE: Comments pertaining to this proposal will be provided during the Development Services Center plan
review.
POLICE (CPTED): During site plan submission to Development Services Center, a Photometric Plan should
be submitted for review. This lighting plan should include height of poles located within the parking lot along
with the location of all pole mounted and building mounted lighting fixtures. The plan should also include the
lamp types, wattage and type of fixture. Full cut-off fixtures should be used for parking lot lighting. Care
should be taken to avoid design conflicts between lighting and parking lot landscaping.
As a matter of public safety, pedestrian pathways should be designed to maximize sight lines and surveillance
opportunities by users, while keeping with the natural appearance of the open space. Landscaping within
eight (8) feet of pathways should be kept trimmed low (under three feet) or limbed up (seven feet).

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers. The proffers are provided below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this site to be within the Transition Area / Princess Anne. The land
use planning policies and principles focus strongly on promoting this area as a well-planned, low density,
fiscally sound and desirable destination for people to live, work, and play.
"The policies of this Comprehensive Plan have been designed to ensure that the Transition Area
continues to be a well-planned area. Employment, mixed use, and residential centers, each with its own
open space and trail system, will be clustered along and connected to the public greenway offering a
variety of quality home and work environments," (page 143). "The site and building design of office
development with the Transition Area should be of exceptional quality and should serve to showcase the
area within which they are located," (page 149).
Evaluation:
The applicant has worked with staff to ensure a cohesive office development fitting for this significant area
of the city. A formal plan with a large common green centrally located on the site flanked by five office
buildings designed in a rural vernacular style reflects a higher quality of design appropriate for the area.
As a portion of the site is located within the Historical and Cultural District, the Historic Review Board has
reviewed the proposed development, and the applicant has received a preliminary Certificate of
Appropriateness based on the conceptual drawings. This preliminary Certificate of Appropriateness is
subject to final review by the Historical Review Board of all architectural rendered elevations, building
details, materials lists, landscaping, lighting, signage and site plans upon approval of the this conditional
rezoning by City Council.
This proposal for an office development is consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive
Plan pertaining to design and quality and compatibility with surrounding uses. Approval of this application
is recommended.
Note: The underlined wordings were provided in the proffers after the Planning Commission Hearing.

CONSENT
Janice Anderson: The next matter on the agenda today is the consent agenda, and that will be
handled by Joe Strange, our Vice Chairman.
Joseph Strange: 'Thank you. This afternoon we have 7 items on the consent agenda. The
first matter is agenda item 1, the application of West Neck Partners, L.L.C., for a Change of
Zoning District Classification from AG -1 and AG -2 Agricultural District to Conditional 0-2
Office District on property located on the east side of West Neck Road, approximately 250
feet south of North Landing Road, District 7, Princess Anne, with five proffers.
R.J. Nutter: Thank you Mr. Strange. Madam Chairwoman and members of the Commission,
for the record, my name is R.J. Nutter. I'm representing the applicant West Neck Partners,
L.L.C. We appreciate being placed on the consent agenda. We appreciate working with staff,
and members of the Commission who represent this district. So, we are happy with this
position, and being fully proffered we fully agree with the proffers. Thank you Mr. Strange.
Joseph Strange: `We also have a speaker who is in support. Would he like to come up?
Mike Fox?
R.J. Nutter: He is with one of the engineering firms involved.
Joseph Strange: Okay.
R.J. Nutter: Thank you very.
Joseph Strange: Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda?
Seeing none, the Chair has asked Barry Knight to review this item.
Barry Knight: This proposal features a wide landscaped buffer adjacent to West Neck Road
that conceals a park place setting for five office buildings. The buildings form a loop road
bisected by pedestrian crossings to a common green. And a multi purpose trail system is
incorporated around the perimeter of the site. The buildings for the office development are
designed in a southern rural vernacular style with two and three story covered porches and
verandas. The applicant has met with the local residents. They think it's in keeping with the
nature of the surrounding community. It is just down the road on the corner of North
Landing Road and West Neck Road, and this has gone through the Historical Review
Committee, and they didn't even come back with any comments. They approved it the first

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of this 14th day of November,
2007, by and between WEST NECK PARTNERS, L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company
(hereinafter referred to as the "Grantor"), the current owner of that certain property located in the
City of Virginia Beach, as more particularly described below; and the CITY OF VIRGINIA
BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia (hereinafter referred to as
the "Grantee").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Grantor is the current owner of that certain property located in the City
of Virginia Beach, Virginia identified by GPIN 1494 — 70 — 8583 — 0000, as more particularly
described in Exhibit A-1, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Property").
WHEREAS, the Grantor has initiated an amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia, by petition addressed to the Grantee, so as to change the classification
of the Property from AGA and AG -2 to Conditional 0-2,
WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes, including mixed-use purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that competing and sometimes incompatible uses
conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the 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 0-2 are needed to cope with
the situation to which the Grantor's rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and prior to
the public hearing before the Grantee, as part of the proposed conditional amendment to the
Zoning Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the existing 0-2 zoning districts by the
existing 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 Grantor and allowed and
accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, such conditions shall
GPIN NO. 1494 - 70 - 8583 - 0000
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 the 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
the 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.
NOW THEREFORE, the Grantor, for itself, its 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 makes the following
declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall restrict and govern the physical
development, operation and use of the Property and hereby covenants and agrees that these
proffers (collectively, the "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 Grantor, its heirs, personal representatives, assigns, grantees and other successors in

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning District
Classification from R-15 Residential District and AG -1 Agricultural District to
Conditional R-7.5 Residential District on property located on the south side of
Dam Neck Road, approximately 180 feet east of Southcross Drive (GPIN
1484166408 — part of). DISTRICT 7 — PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
■ Background:
The applicant proposes to rezone a portion of the existing parcel, zoned R-15
Residential and AG -1 Agricultural, to Conditional R-7.5 Residential District for the
purpose of developing the site with 113 single-family dwellings at a density of 3.5
units per acre. The two sections of the Newcastle residential neighborhood,
which consist of the R-15 portion to the west and the R-7.5 portion to the north,
are developed at densities of 2.2 and 3.5 units per acre, respectively.
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this site as being within the Primary
Residential Area (PRA). The land use planning policies and principles for the
Primary Residential Area focus strongly on preserving and protecting the overall
character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods
located in this area. In a general sense, the established type, size, and
relationship of land use, residential and non-residential, located in and around
these neighborhoods should serve as a guide when considering future
development, (pg. 90).
■ Considerations:
Vehicular access to the site will be via a single entrance from Dam Neck Road.
The entrance is divided by a landscaped median with a stone entry sign as a
focal point. The proposed development is screened from Dam Neck Road by a
landscaped berm running parallel with the rear of the residential lots. The homes
will contain a minimum of 2,400 square feet of living area for a two-story dwelling
and 2,000 square feet of living area for a one-story dwelling.
The proposed architecture for the dwellings to be constructed on the site utilizes
varying elements of traditional single-family home design. Brick and siding are
used on the exterior, with the roofs sheathed by architectural grade shingles.
Front porches and mullioned windows with shutters are the predominant
architectural features.
Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C.

The proposed residential use is in conformance with the intent of the land use
policies of the Comprehensive Plan for this area. The quality of the site and
building design, as well as the proposed dwelling unit density, is compatible with
the single-family residential areas to the west and to the north.

Public Works / Traffic Engineering has the following comments:
• A westbound left -tum lane is required on Dam Neck Road. The dimensions of the left -tum lane must be in
accordance with the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Specifications and Standards Manual.
• An eastbound right -tum lane is required on Dam Neck Road. The dimensions of the right -tum lane must
be in accordance with the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Specifications and Standards Manual.
• A Traffic Signal Bond will be required at a specified time during Site Plan review for a potential signal at
the intersection of Dam Neck Road and the site entrance. Public Works may also require a traffic signal
warrant analysis for this intersection prior to the release of the Traffic Signal Bond.
• If the Applicant desires in the future to extend the development to the parcels south of the subject site,
then a Traffic Impact Analysis may be required for the entire project area. In addition, the Traffic Signal
Bond would be extended beyond the initial 5 -year time frame to include the entire development.
• This project must be coordinated with the Elbow Road Extended — Phase II CIP for roadway and right-of-
way accuracy. Contact Julie Hannah at 385-4131 for this information.
Additional comments will be forthcoming upon a site plan submission to the Development Services Center
should this rezoning be approved by the City Council.
WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is an eight -inch City water main in Southcross Court and
a 12 -inch City water main along Dam Neck Road. There is also a 12 -inch City water main along Salem Road
to the south.
SEWER: There is an eight -inch City gravity main along Southcross Court and an eight -inch City gravity main
along Salem Road to the south. There is also a four -inch City force main along Salem Road as well as a six-
inch vacuum sanitary sewer along the comer of Salem and Lisban Roads. This site must connect to City
sanitary sewer by extending the gravity sanitary sewer main from the intersection of Southcross Drive and
Dam Neck Road or by extending the main along Southcross Court. Analysis of Pump Station 575 and the
sanitary sewer collection system is required to ensure future flows can be accommodated. The receiving
Pump Station 575 and the sanitary sewer collection system were designed anticipating development at a R-15
density. Thus, the additional flow from the increased density will result in the need for pump station upgrades
or additional utility upgrade fees.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT: The proposed subdivision must develop a stormwater management plan for
water quantity and quality in accordance with the Public Works Specifications and Standards. The project will
need to provide adequate stormwater discharge outfalls and identify adequate offsite receiving drainage
systems.

Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with tie submitted proffers. The proffers are provided below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map and land use policies place this site within the Primary Residential Area
(PRA), which indicates the importance of neighborhood character and its relationship to compatible land
use and traffic: management.
The land use iplanning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on
preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable
neighborhoods located in this area. In a general sense, the established type, size, and relationship of land
use, both residential and non-residential, located in and around these neighborhoods should serve as a
guide when considering future development, (pg. 90).
Generally, in large suburban settings often characterized by many'single use' zoning districts, land use
compatibility is achieved through the process of orienting similar or, at the very least, not incompatible
land uses and densities next to one another. While landscaped buffers, attractive site planning, quality
architecture and other techniques are sometimes the only option to help mitigate the impacts of adjacent
and incompatible land uses; it is the city's position that good architectural and site designs are not
acceptable substitutes for good land use planning. We must focus on applying sound land use planning
practices first, then address design considerations, (pg. 90).

Agenda Item 4
Page 4
Evaluation:
The proposed residential use is in conformance with the intent of the land use policies of the
Comprehensive Plan for this area. The quality of the site and building design, as well as the proposed
dwelling unit density, is compatible with the single-family residential areas to the west and to the north.
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,"
(§107(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.

Item #4
Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C.
Change of Zoning District Classification
South side of Dam Neck Road
District 7
Princess Anne
March 12, 2008
REGULAR
Janice Anderson: Next, we will hear our regular agenda. I will ask the Secretary to call the
first matter on our regular agenda today.
Donald Horsley: The first matter today is item 4, Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C. An application
of Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C. for a Change of Zoning District Classification from R-15
Residential District and AG -1 Agricultural District to Conditional R-7.5 Residential District
on property located on the south side of Dam Neck, approximately 190 feet east of
Southcross Drive, District 7, Princess Anne.
Janice Anderson: Welcome Mr. Bourdon.
Eddie Bourdon: Good afternoon Madame Chairman. Thank you very much, for the record,
Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach attorney representing the applicant. I recognize there are
eight cases that are being heard today. It is going to be a long day. I'm going to try to keep
this one brief because I don't believe there is a great deal of controversy. I know Al Moore
and one of the other representatives of New Castle are going speak. We've had a lot dialogue
with them. I'll let them speak for themselves but I don't think there is a huge controversy
here. This is a piece of property over 32 acres in size that this Commission reviewed a
previous application on less than a year ago. It was an application that included a workforce
housing component, a mixed residential development including multi -family at 256 units
with a PD -H plan that was recommended to you by your Planning staff. You also
recommended approval of that plan. City Council was not as enamored as the rest of us were
with that plan, and they denied the application. Now we have come back with a plan that is
100 percent consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for this area. It is one of
those, and I said it before, one of the last available sites for residential development that is
outside the AICUZ Zone. To our north is a section of New Castle that is zoned R-7.5
adjacent to our east is a city owned institutional use, the city's Landscape Services. We
understand there will be ball fields also that will be located to our east and south. The
section of New Castle to our west is R-15 and adjacent to that on their west is a Dragas
condominium community at R -5D. So, this application R-7.5 at 3 'h units per acre is exactly
what the Comprehensive Plan calls for in this area. We've got high quality community of
113 homes maximum, all single-family. We proffered typical building elevations. The plan
that is up here, versus the one that is being passed around, we have made some changes
based on dialogue with the adjacent property owners in New Castle. One of those, which
made a lot of sense was we moved the park site that is here at the entrance street. We
designed this with a very nice frontage, all landscaped and bermed. That is in the proffers.
Item #4
Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C.
Page 2
And just as you come in, is not of any home but of open space, and we flipped this. The park
site is at the back of the open space where there will be less traffic. We have also agreed and
the proffer (agreement) will be modified between here and City Council to include a proffer,
that we will spend $60,000 on playground equipment to be placed in that park site. Again,
that is being shifted and it is shown on the new plan that we passed around. That is one
change. The other thing that we show here was a future right-of-way connection to the
property to the south, which was something that neighboring community did not want us to
do. So, we modified that. We now reduced it down to a 30 foot wide pedestrian access to
the south so there: won't be any road connection if and when the property to the south
develops. It will have to be developed utilizing Salem Road and not this property for access
but there will be connectivity as far as walking, biking and what have you through this
pedestrian area here. The other change is that along our western boundary, there are 10 home
sites that will adjoin nine home sites in New Castle. We proffered that there will be a 25 foot
tree preservation buffer on the back of these lots. These lots are deeper thti the rest of the
lots, and that preservation easement will be dedicated to the Homeowners Association. The
entire community is governed by a Homeowners' Association. They will hold that easement,
which will prohibit those trees and landscaping in that area from being removed. Again,
unless they are knocked down by a hurricane or they are diseased but the idea is to maintain
that treed buffer on the back of these properties. This area is wooded at this point. There is
not a similar situation on the back of these lots but we are willing to undertake that buffering
on our site. Again, we're designed with totally compatible home sites here. The lots are so
much smaller but the quality of the homes is as every bit as high, if not higher than the homes
in New Castle, which were built many years ago. It is not to knock those homes. They are
very nice homes. But the point is that it is a very compatible neighborhood to what is out
there. I don't think anyone would disagree with that characterization. With that, I'm going
to cut my remarks off so the folks of New Castle can speak out. I will come back up if there
is anything for me to answer.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you.
Donald Horsley: Our first speaker is Al Moore.
Al Moore: Members of the Commission, Madame Chairwoman, thank you for giving us the
opportunity.
Janice Anderson: Please state your name again for the record.
Al Moore: It is Al Moore. I live at 2140 Southcross Drive, which is the property the bounds
it on the left side of the picture here. First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr. Resh for
being so cooperative with us. He met with us on two occasions. He heard us out. I think,
within all the things that he controlled he made the modifications that you seen here today.
Our expectation is, of course, those will be included in the proffers. As far as the tree
preservation area, as we understand it from Mr. Resh, that will actually be written into the
Item #4
Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C.
Page 3
deed. So, it will be a covenant for the homeowners. I was going to recap these but Mr.
Bourdon did a great job on that so I won't need to do that. My sole opposition to this comes
primarily from the impact on traffic. The numbers that we have been given, and you may
have this morning at the discussion session, is based on traffic counts on Dam Neck that were
done in 2006. Since that time, Dam Neck Road has become a major east/west corridor. I
don't know what the traffic counts are now. That is one thing that I would like to request to
see. I can tell you that living where we are on Southcross, which intersects with Dam Neck,
during the rush hour, you can barely make a left turn out of there. It is hard to make a right
turn. During soccer season, when the soccer facilities fill up, that intersection is virtually
unusable. The point where Dam Neck intersects with Salem Road, there is a stop light
controlling that intersection. And again, during soccer season, the traffic backs up. Several
dozen cars to the point where the people from soccer start to cut down Southcross and down
Whitley Abby to get over to Salem Road. So, my main request is to that before you approve
this is to take a harder look at the true traffic situation there. Because I think if they're
projecting based on current counts, it is not adequate.
Janice Anderson: Are there any questions for Mr. Moore? Thank you sir.
Al Moore: Okay. Thank you very much.
Donald Horsley: Our next speaker is Joseph Milligan.
Janice Anderson: Welcome.
Joseph Milligan: That was close. My name is Joseph Milligan. I live at 3801 Southcross
Court, which is right next to this development. Once again, I would also like to thank Alan
Resh. He has been real helpful and sat with us on two occasions and worked with us. I
would also like to thank Karen Prochilo from the Planning Department. She has been a real
big help too. I am going to kind of echo what Al said in a little different manner. The traffic
is a big concern. That traffic study that was done in 2006. You have to remember that is
when that road first opened. A lot of people didn't know there was a cut through. They
didn't even know it existed. And since then it is public knowledge. It is a main thoroughfare
especially during rush hour traffic in the mornings. So, taking this from an R-15 to an R-7.5
is obviously going to have some kind of impact on the traffic. I would like to see them, and
mirror what Al said, a more current analysis of the traffic. The other thing and can we change
back to the other map? One more. Okay, the other thing is that if you look at the
surrounding properties, Elbow Road, which is now Dam Neck Road, everything north of that
little neighborhood is R-7.5 but everything south of that is either AG -1 or R-15. That is kind
of the dividing line. There are two parcels. The one that we are looking at that is shaded and
there is another one that they anticipate down the road that is going to be available, which is
the larger one, just south and west of that. If you said okay, we're going to take this down to
R-7.5 based on the fact that neighborhood next to it is R-7.5, then to me, I see a leap frog
effect into an area that is predominately R-15 and AG -1. If you look all the way around it,
it's R-15. So, if that is the argument for this, than when the next development is developed it
is the same argument. It is going to abut that and then you kind of have a finger that comes in
Item #4
Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C.
Page 4
there that just really doesn't fit the surrounding zoning. The cut through traffic was a major
concern because now they're cutting through our neighborhood because of traffic is so great
to avoid that intersection. I was glad to see them put the pedestrian cut through and eliminate
the vehicular traffic. And lastly, what assurance do we have if they rezone this to R-7.5, that
we won't come back or they can change this plan, and maybe try to impose a 30 percent
increase in workforce housing. Does it stand solely as this project? Can it change if the
economics change? That is the question that I have.
Janice Anderson: We can answer that for you. Mr. Macali? Do you want to address that?
Bill Macali: We can't made changes to an approved City Council plan with out the approval
of City Council. It would have to be approved by the City Council.
Joseph Milligan: So, will the zoning stay R-7.5
Janice Anderson: It is a conditional rezoning. It has to have these specific proffers on it. It
is just not a straight rezoning. That is correct. So, if it has to change it would have to come
back.
Joseph Milligan: The whole process starts over.
Janice Anderson:: Yes it does.
Joseph Milligan: Okay. Thank you.
Donald Horsley: There are no other speakers.
Janice Anderson: Mr. Bourdon?
Eddie Bourdon: On behalf of Mr. Resh, we would like to also thank the folks from New
Castle community because not only on this application but even prior application, they have
been extremely pleasant and cordial to work with inspite of and especially in the last case, a
significant disagreement. That is very much appreciated because you don't always encounter
that. It really has; been a pleasure to work with them. They have been very open and good
listeners. The property to our immediate east is an institutional use. It is zoned agriculture
but it is a use that would generally be an office use or an industrial use. The property on the
opposite side of this section in New Castle is zoned R-51) and not R-15, which is along
Salem Road down to this point. The fact that there is no and will not be with this revised
plan any connectivity other than pedestrian between this community and the R-15 as the Bilo
family continues to own plus there is a church here, down below us on Salem Road ensures
us that this property if and when it is ever rezoned for development, there is also this APZ
line, that runs through here. Although most of this property, I believe is outside. Some of
this property is not residential developable because of that line but it would develop along
Salem Road and with entrance off of Salem Road, which in this area is all R-15, and I think
that is obviously the likely scenario, and I think that is one of the reason that we have no
Item #4
Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C.
Page 5
connectivity other than pedestrian. But given what is adjacent to us in this area and what is
adjacent to the same section here, and across the street, from a land use standpoint, is
perfectly reasonable. The other thing that is important from a traffic standpoint. And we
need to understand, and I'm not going to argue. I don't live there but I do know from having
the soccer complex with my daughter and son for the last nine years on a regular basis that
there is a fair amount of traffic here but that traffic is every hour or hour fifteen minutes that
comes out and it is dead. Then there isn't any traffic until when the game is over. This area,
with all the development that will not happen here because of the AICUZ zones. There is
very little future residential that will happen in this area at all, and as traffic matters go, this
road is, and I'm not saying there isn't traffic there at a certain time but it is not a very heavily
traveled road on an overall basis compared to a lot other areas of the city. I appreciate your
listening.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon? Are there any
comments?
Eugene Crabtree: The property that is to the right of this property that he is talking about is
exactly city owned by Landscape Services for Parks and Recreation. And behind that, on the
left hand side is also Parks and Recreation owned and is designed in the future for ball fields.
And part of, and I believe if that is right on the edge of what we know as Princess Anne
Commons property line, back where it says 65-75 dB in that area, so that particular area is
never going to be developed for anything other than something with Parks and Recreation or
of that nature or of Princess Anne Commons for that type thing. That is not going to be used
for any residential. The only addition that it would abut Salem Road.
Janice Anderson: If I can. Rick Lowman. Is he here?
Ric Lowman: Ric, the two gentlemen had some personal concerns with traffic. Could you
just review what your department looked up when reviewing this application and the required
turn lanes in there to facilitate the traffic?
Ric Lowman: Ric Lowman, City of Virginia Beach Traffic Engineering. We did take a look
at this development as it came I the first time. It was more dense than this, and this
incarnation of the plan it involved a low density requirements or traffic requirements for a
traffic impact study. And based on the analysis that we did of the impact to the roadway and
the current volumes on the roadway, it is not going to bring that roadway Dam Neck over
capacity. As far as the turn lanes that are required, per our comments and the Public Works
specifications, we require left turn lane into the site and a right turn lane in the site. That is in
our comments. And that will be worked out at the site plan stage. As far as the Saturday
afternoon traffic concerns show our concerns are there. Saturday mornings as well. It does
get congested for that 15 or 20 minutes and then, like Eddie said, it disperses and that
mandates the traffic concerns that really don't pertain the normal rush hour type concerns
that we share. So, it doesn't mean a special event and they are seasonal.
Item #4
Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C.
Page 6
Janice Anderson: The right and left turn lanes that will keep the traffic flowing on Dam
Neck Road?
Ric Lowman: Yes ma'am.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Are there any questions for Ric?
Jay Bernas: In your comments you mentioned that a traffic signal bond will be required for
Dam Neck and the entrance to the subdivision as well?
Ric Lowman: yes.
Jay Bernas: Would the signal exactly be there or would it be at Southcross and Dam Neck.
Ric Lowman: The traffic signal bond is a requirement that Public Works has to sort of
prorate share the signal class, if an when the signal is warranted in the future. We can't
predict what is going to happen around it. But if and when a signal would be required around
it, that would be a part of the reason for the signal, we would call their bond to help pay for
the signal. So, we would do that with any bond holders in the traffic signal bonds that we
have for any of the properties that would kind of contribute to that. So, it would be pretty
hard to say when the signal would be place.
Jay Bernas: I was wondering if that bond was that for intersection or did it cover?
Ric Lowman: It covers the impacts of that development.
Janice Anderson:: Are there any other questions? Go ahead Al.
Al Henley: Ric, when that bond is posted signalization is that bond held for a certain number
of years or is it there indefinitely?
Ric Lowman: I believe it is there for five years.
Al Henley: Five years.
Ric Lowman: Yes sir.
Al Henley: So, in due time in five years or anytime earlier, then if those conditions prevail
then, of course the signal would be installed at that time.
Ric Lowman: Yes sir.
Al Henley: Thank you.

Donald Horsley: It appears to me that the applicant has done an excellent job in working
with the neighborhood and addressed many of their concerns in keeping with the content of
the Comprehensive Plan. It seems to be adhered to so I will make a motion that we approve
the application.
Janice Anderson: A motion by Don Horsley and a second by Gene Crabtree. Is there any
further discussion?
Barry Knight: We need to include the verbage about $60,000 proffered between now and
Council. Mr. Bourdon said he was going to agree.
Donald Horsley: Put that in there.
Eddie Bourdon: Yes. We will revise the proffers between here and Council to include that
new plan with a flipped park, and to include $60,000 of playground equipment that will be
installed in that park.
Donald Horsley: We can make that part of the motion.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Barry. Is that okay with you with the motion? Is there any
further discussion? I'll call for the question.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Amending Section 502 and Adding Section 502.1 of the City
Zoning Ordinance to amend dimensional requirements and establish
design incentives and criteria concerning porches, upper floors, and
attached garages for dwellings in the R-511 Residential Resort District.
MEETING DATE: April 8, 2008
■ Background:
The proposed amendments are the result of concern by some civic leaders that
the current R -5R regulations are encouraging inappropriately large dwelling units
to be built on smaller, nonconforming lots. The proposed amendments are
intended to result in less building mass on nonconforming lots and encourage the
addition of open front porches, interesting architectural features and side -loaded
or recessed garages.
■ Considerations:
Based on discussion after the March 13 Planning Commission hearing with
residents and property owners potentially affected by the proposed amendments,
the City requests withdrawal of the amendments from further consideration.
■ Recommendations:
Allow withdrawal of the amendments.
Recommended Action: Allow withdrawal.
