Proposed Establishment of Central Business District-Northeast Tax
Increment Financing District and Use of Tax Increment Financing
The City of Virginia Beach proposes to designate a development project area, effective December
2, 2008, in the Pembroke section of the City, to be known as Central Business District-Northeast Tax
Increment Rnancing District. The proposed development project area will be geographically defined as
that property located around and including the Pembroke Mall and outlying area, starting at the intersection
of Independence Boulevard and Jeanne Street bounded on the north by the northemmost edge of Jeanne
Street to its intersection with Constitution Drive, and including properties between Corporation Lane and
Paul Jones Lane, bounded on the east side by Thalia Creek, bounded on the south side by Virginia Beach
Boulevard , and bounded on the west side by Independence Boulevafd, up to its intersection with Jeanne
Street. A map of the proposed district is on file and available in the City Clerk's oftk:e.
This proposed TIF will require adjustment to the northem boundary of the existing Central Business District-
South TIF established by City Council on November 23, 1999, in which the northem boundary will be moved
south to the zero-property lot line. A map of the proposed boundary change is on file and available in the
City Clerk's office.
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a method to financing the costs of public improvements in an area by
depositing any increases in real estate tax revenue into a special fund. The increase in real estate tax
assessments, known as tax increment, is the amount by which the current assessed value of real estate
exceeds the base assessed value (i.e., the value of property in the area before improvements were made).
Such use may involve issuance of obligations payable from the tax increment funds.
The City of Virginia Beach proposes to use the tax increment in the Pembrofe Mall area of the City to finance
structural improvements in the TIF district including but not lim~ed to construction and maintenance of a
pedestrian bridge to enhance the safety of pedestrians.
On Tuesday, November 25, 2008, the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia will halef a public hearing
on the need for the tax increment financing district. The public hearing will be conducted at 6:00 p.m. in
Council Chamber on the second floor of the City Hall Building, Municipal Center, Virginia Beach, Virginia.
This Hearing is open to the public, and all interested citizens will have an opportunity to be heard. Individuals
desiring to provide written comments may do so by contacting the City Clerk's office at 385-4303. If you are

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Sections 21-354 and 21-359 of the City Code Pertaining to
Residential Parking Permits
MEETING DATE: November 25,2008
. Background: In June 1992, City Council created a Residential Parking Permit Program
("RPPP") for oceanfront residents to reduce night time traffic congestion in public streets within
residential neighborhoods, The RPPP involves the issuance of decals for residential, business
and guest parking permits. Fees are charged for business parking permits and annual guest
permits, but not for the first two residential parking permits or for temporary guest permits.
Currently, there is no limit on the number of residential, guest, or temporary guest parking
permits that may be issued to each residential household. (Note: Section 21-351(b) of the City
Code defines "residence" as a single-family dwelling or a dwelling unit, as defined in Section
111 of the City Zoning Ordinance). With the increased density of housing in the City, it is
imperative that limits be set on the number of parking permits issued per residence.
This ordinance proposes (1) to establish a limit of four residential parking permits per residence
per year, two annual guest parking permits per residence per year, and ten temporary guest
parking permits per residence per week; (2) to increase the current annual business parking
permit fee from ten dollars ($10.00) each for the first five (5) permits issued and twenty dollars
($20.00) for each additional permit, to twenty five dollars ($25.00) per annual business parking
permit; and (3) to require business owners to present a current valid business license at the
time the business owner requests annual business parking permits.
. Considerations: Limiting the number of vehicles parking in the RPPP area will improve
congestion in the neighborhoods adjacent to the Resort Area with minimal impact on the
residents. RPPP parking permit fees were intended to support the cost of procuring and issuing
annual parking decals and permits. While the cost of permits and staff has risen dramatically
since the beginning of the RPPP, the fees have remained unchanged since December 1994.
The small increase in the annual business parking permit fee will provide additional funding to
support the current cost of the program. The Virginia Beach Hotel Motel Association, Virginia
Beach Restaurant Association, Lakewood Civic League, Shadowlawn Civic League, and Resort
Beach Civic League approved and endorsed the changes proposed by this ordinance.
. Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal agenda
process.
. Recommendations: Approval of ordinance

28 Treasurer that he is, in fact, a resident of such area, or that he is a resident of a
29 residential area which is contiguous to a designated residential permit parking area and
30 in which neithElr off-street nor nonmeter-regulated on-street parking is available. Any
31 applicant who is a resident of such a contiguous residential area shall, upon receipt of a

ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 5 (ANIMALS AND FOWL) OF THE CITY OF
VIRGINIA BEACH BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 5-20, PROHIBITING THE FEEDING OF
WILDLIFE ON CITY PROPERTY
MEETING DATE: November 25,2008
. Background: The Green Ribbon Committee Report recommendation is to "Amend the
City Code to prohibit feeding of wildlife".
. Considerations: Water quality is significantly affected by wildlife; recent estimates
indicate that over 30% of the bacterial level related to fecal coli form is due to wildlife. A variety
of educational efforts have been implemented through the City and a partnership formed with
non-profit organizations including, the City of Virginia Beach, Department of Parks and
Recreation, Virginia Beach SPCA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Wildlife
Response, Inc., Lynnhaven River Now and Humane Society of United States (HSUS). This
partnership continues to support public education which explaining that feeding wildlife does not
help, and in fact, harms them.
The ordinance addresses prohibition of feeding of wildlife on city property only; there is no
intention of this ordinance to regulate feeding of wildlife on private property. In addition, posting
of signs advising of the ordinance and a verbal warning are required for enforcement of the
ordinance.
. Public Information: An extensive pubic information program has been established
through non-profit organizations and city efforts to advise the public through presentations to
home owner and community organizations, workshops, newsletters and educational brochures.
In addition, this item has been part of the ongoing effort to communicate the recommendations
of the Green Ribbon Committee Report, accepted by City Council December 4,2007.
. Alternatives: As an alternative to the ordinance, continuing education and voluntary
compliance could.be considered.
. Recommendations: Adopt the recommended ordinance which defines wildlife and
addresses prohibition of feeding only on public properties. Posting of signs will be required to
enforce the ordinance; warnings will be issued prior to a summons; and, the first fine will not
exceed $25.

AGENDA ITEM
~
ITEM: An Ordinance (1) approving modifications to the Beacon Exchange
Agreement, (2) appropriating funds to finance the Beacon Exchange
and (3) authorizing the Development Authority to utmze EDIP Funds
for the Beacon Exchange
MEETING DATE: November 25,2008
. Background: The Town Center Project (the "Project") has been a long-term
priority for the City. The City Council first recognized the importance of the Project in
the Central Business District of the City when it adopted the Comprehensive Plan on
November 4, 1997. In 1999, the City Council adopted the Central Business District -
South Tax Increment Financing District with the intent of entering into an agreement
with. a developer and using the funds to help pay for the City's participation in the
Project. At its February 8, 2000 meeting, the City Council approved a Development
Agreement for Phase I of the Project containing the rights and obligations of the Virginia
Beach Development Authority (the "Authority") and Town Center Associates, L.L.C. (the
"Developer") .
On June 3, 2003, the City Council approved the Phase II Development Agreement
containing the rights and obligations of the Authority and the Developer with respect to
Phase II of the Project.
On September 13,2005, the City Council approved Phase III of the Town Center, and
on June 13, 2006, the City Council approved the First Modification to the Phase III
Development Agreement.
On July 17, 2007, the City Council approved the Second Modification to the Phase III
Development Agreement to, among other things, approve the acquisition by the
Authority of Block 2 of the Project, site of the Beacon Building, from Commonwealth
Building Company, Inc. ("CBC") in exchange for (a) 15,000 square feet of improved
office space in the Block 7 West Retail Space (with the shell unit valued at $1,680,000
and $945,000 worth of improvements), (b) a $1,635,000 cash payment, (c) five parking
spaces in the Block 7 Parking Garage, and (d) a $300,000 EDIP award to cover moving
expenses (collectively, the "Beacon Exchange").
This item was deferred for one week on November 18, 2008.
. Proposed Modifications: The actual build-out costs for the 15,000 square feet
are higher than initial estimates, and the City and CBC now desire to amend the terms
of the Beacon Exchange to increase the amount paid by the Authority to improve the
15,000 square feet of office space in the Block 7 West Retail from $945,000 to
$1,476,329.
Due to changes in economic conditions, the funding source for the exchange must be
modified to (i) aluthorize the Development Authority to fund the additional build-out costs
($531,329) from its Economic Development Investment Program ("EDIP"), and (ii)
appropriate $4,:260,000 from the Central Business District - South (TIF) fund (the "TIF")
to the Authority to pay the residual cost of the exchange. The TIF funds will be repaid
upon the sale of Block 2 to the Developer.
Previously, under the July 2007 Agreement, the Developer was funding the initial
exchange costs (except EDIP funds) with the Authority repaying those costs upon
purchase of the Block 2 parking structure.
. Considerations: Acquisition of Block 2 of the Project by the Authority is critical
to the long-teml success of the Project. The requested amendments are the result of
extended negotiations between the City and representatives of CBC.
. Public Information: Public information for this item will be handled through the
normal Council agenda process.
. Alternatives: The Phase III Documents reflect the City's on-going commitment
to the long-term priority of developing a Town Center for the City. Acquisition and
development of the Block 2 Property are consistent with those goals. There are other
alternatives to Eixpanding development of the Central Business District. However, few if
any alternativesi accomplish Council's stated goals for the area or provide the level of
quality proposed.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Affirming Authorization to Pick-Up Employees' Contribution to VRS
for the City of Virginia Beach
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2008
. Background: City Council in its FY 1978 budget ordinance approved picking up
100% of employees' contributions for retirement through the Virginia Retirement System
("VRS"). The Internal Revenue Service recently issued a Revenue Ruling that requires
all local governments nationwide to demonstrate "formal authorization" of their pick-up
plans. The attached resolution, which VRS has approved as to form, meets the
requirements of the recent IRS Revenue Ruling.
. Considerations: Regardless of whether this resolution is adopted, the City is
obligated to continue to pick up its employees' VRS contributions. Failure to approve
the resolution, however, could reverse the favorable pre-tax treatment of thE City's
contributions on behalf of its employees, which could impose significant additional multi-
year reporting and record keeping burdens on the City and also could subject City
employees to additional tax liabilities. (See attached VRS Letter of November 7,2008)
. Public Information: Provided as part of the normal agenda process.
. Recommendations: Adopt the attached Resolution to affirm the City of Virginia
Beach's intention to establish and maintain a pick-up arrangement for member
contributions to VRS. This Resolution is an administrative issue or housekeeping issue
only to meet IRS requirements.

P PHILLIPS, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
FINANCE DEPT BLDG 1, ROOM 202
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA 23456
Dear P PHILLIPS:
In July, the Virgini.3 Retirement System (VRS) sent letters to employers advising that the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) issued Revenue Ruling 2006-43 requiring governmental employers to
demonstrate "formal authorization" of their pick-up plans for member contributions and pre-tax
purchase of service. So far, VRS has not received any resolutions from your governing body. Passage
of the resolutions and submission to VRS by December 1, 2008 is essential in ensuring compliance
with the IRS regulations by January 1, 2009.
VRS has enclosed tile resolution(s) that your governing body needs to approve and have on file with
VRS. If your governing body needs to pass resolutions for the pick-up plans for member
contributions and pre-tax purchase of service, both are enclosed. If your governing body needs to
pass only one of thE!se, then that resolution is enclosed. If you represent a school board, you may
receive as many as four resolutions, which would cover the needs of your administrative and non-
administrative employer codes.
Although your governing body may have enacted such resolutions in the past, you must reaffirm
your current practiCE! of picking up member contributions and/or offering purchase of prior service on
a pre-tax basis. Oncle the governing body passes the resolution, please date the resolution with the
date the governing body passed the resolution and send it to VRS promptly.
Failure to submit a msolution to VRS could reverse the favorable tax treatment of your employees'
member contributions. This could result in significant additional multi-year reporting and record
keeping burdens on E!mployers, as well as additional tax liabilities for employees. Fees or penalties
that may be imposed for non-compliance in future IRS audits for improper documentation of the
414(h) pre-tax "pick-ups" as outlined in IRR 2006-43 will be the responsibility of the employer if the
employer did not act within the time frame to receive transition relief for pre-existing "pick-up"
plans.
If, after you review this letter, you have additional questions, VRS stands ready to assist you. Please
contact Ben Howard at VRS, by telephone at (888) 827-3847, extension 6686, or by email at
bhoward(d)varetire.orq. He can provide you with additional information and fillable resolutions to
prepare for your governing body.
VRS and its participating employers must strive to maintain continuous compliance with IRS
regulations and rulings. Thank you for your prompt attention to this very critical matter.
Sincerely,
~{J~

ITEM: An Ordinance Declaring the Property Located at the Northwest Corner of
Princess Anne Rd. and S. Independence Blvd. to be in Excess of the
City's Needs and Authorizing the City Manager to Sell the Property to
Tailwind Development Group, LLC
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2008
. Background:
Tailwind Development Group, L.L.C. ("Tailwind") proposes to acquire City-owned
property (the "Property") located at the northwest corner of Princess Anne Road
and S. Independence Boulevard (GPIN 1485-16-9065). The City acquired title to
the Property from Green Run Corp. of Virginia Beach by Deed dated January 7,
1983. The City paid $128,500 to acquire the Property for a future planned
interchange, which has since been deleted from the Master Transportation Plan.
A portion of the site has been used for road purposes.
A Request for Proposals (the "RFP") was advertised on two consecutive
Sundays in The Virginian-Pilot as well as on the City of Virginia Beach website.
Any interested parties had thirty (30) days to submit a proposal. The City
received two responses.
In its response to the RFP, Tailwind offered the City the greater of (a) $350,000
per acre or (b) $1,487,500. The exact acreage of the Property will be determined
when a survey has been completed. It is believed to be between 3 and 4.25
acres.
. Considerations:
The Excess City Owned Real Property Committee reviewed Tailwind's proposal
and recommended that City Council declare the Property in excess of the City's
needs and sold to Tailwind.
Tailwind's proposed Class-A office building meets or exceeds the criteria as
requested in the RFP, and City staff recommends that Tailwind be selected to
purchase the Property.
. Public Information:
Advertisement for public hearing as required by Section 15.2-1800 Code of

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An ordinance to transfer $231,000 in Reserve for Contingencies within the
Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation's FY 2008-09 Operating
Budget
MEETING DATE: November 25,2008
Background: The Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation (DHNP)
receives Federal HOME funds for the purpose of supporting the creation and/or
rehabilitation of permanent affordable housing. In August 2007, due to Council
concerns with the Habitat for Humanity Project, $231,000 was placed into reserves until
these concerns had been resolved. This has been resolved, with the pending
agreement for a "land swap" to provide Habitat with a total of six lots, including three
that are being provided today as part of the Council agenda.
Considerations: These three sites are considered acceptable by Habitat and are the
only ones available at this time. The funding will be used by Habitat to reduce the cost
of these three and other housing in the future.
Public Information: The provision of funding to Habitat to assist them with the
affordability of their housing is not considered to be controversial and, therefore, the
normal Council agenda process should be sufficient public information.
Alternatives: The funding was previously made available to Habitat but was restricted
until an alternative to the old project was found. Therefore, provision of this funding
serves to complete a prior commitment. .

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance declaring certain properties located at 5069 Indian River Road,
2056 Salem Road and 2058 Salem Road to be in excess of the City's needs and
authorizing the City Manager to exchange same to Habitat for Humanity for
property located at Zurich Arch.
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2008
. Background: In lieu of Habitat for Humanity ("Habitat") developing property that
it owns at Zurich Arch (the "Zurich Arch Property"), the City of Virginia Beach
("City") has proposed a land exchange. Specifically, the City purposes to
exchange three City-owned properties located at 5069 Indian River Road, 2056
Salem Road, and 2058 Salem Road for the Zurich Arch Property, which will
support six (6) new townhouses. At a later date, the City agrees to convey three
(3) additional qualifying sites to Habitat, the location of these additional sites to
be determined (the "Future Sites").
The two parcels on Salem Road are adjacent lots. The other parcel is located on
Indian River Road. All three of these parcels are unimproved lots.
. Considerations: The three City-owned parcels were originally acquired as
residual land for road project acquisitions and are not needed for public
purposes. The parcels have been maintained by the City and are in excess of
the City's needs. The Zurich Arch Property is wooded and requires little to no
maintenance. Staff recommends that Council approve the exchange of
properties.
The proposed exchange contemplates the City will convey six (6) building sites in
exchange'for the 6-unit Zurich Arch Property. Habitat would like to proceed with
the acquisition of the Property now, even though the Future Sites have not been
identified, in order to begin construction of needed housing. The conveyance of
the Future Sites, when identified, will come back for action by City Council at a
later time.
. Public Information: Advertisement for public hearing as required by law and
advertisement of City Council agenda.
. Alternatives: Approve the request as presented, deny the request, or add
conditions as desired by Council.
. Recommendations: Approved the request as presented.
. Attachments: Ordinance, Summary of Terms, and Location Map.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Authorize a Lease with Kempsville Borough Boys Baseball, Inc.
for Approximately 6.0 Acres of City Property at Providence Park, 952 Reon
Drive, for Little League Operations
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2008
. Background: Kempsville Borough Boys Baseball, Inc., more commonly known as
Kempsville Pony Baseball ("KPB"), currently uses the City property located at the
intersection of Princess Anne Road and Witchduck Road for its little league operations.
The upcoming intersection improvements for the Princess Anne Road / Witchduck Road
road projects will displace KPB from its current site.
Providence Park, located at 952 Reon Drive, is currently under construction (CIP 4-
073) and is scheduled to be finished and opened for public use in Spring 2009. The
City and KPB desire to enter into a lease of approximately 6.0 acres of Providence Park
(the "Leased Property") in order for KPB to continue to conduct its youth baseball
league operations and tournaments. The lease would become effective as of January 1,
2009, and expire on December 31,2013.
Additionally, at its expense, KPB desires to construct two small press boxes
immediately behind the backstops of the two new youth baseball fields (the "Press
Boxes"). The two Press Boxes will be located on the Leased Property. KPB will be
responsible for the maintenance, repair, and upkeep of the Press Boxes. The
engineering/design plans for the Press Boxes have been reviewed and approved by
City staff, and a building permit issued.
KPB would pay one dollar ($1.00) per year for use of the Leased Property, and it would
be responsible for the maintenance, trash removal, utilities and related services as
necessary for its little league operations.
After the expiration of the lease, the Press Boxes will become property of the City.
. Public Information: The public hearing on this matter was advertised in the
Virqinian-Pilot as required by state law. In addition, the nearby Civic Organizations and
community supported the proposed lease during various Public Information Meetings for
the road project.
. Recommendations: City staff recommends approval of the Ordinance to authorize
the City Manager to enter into a lease with KPB.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM:
Application of Thomas and Nancy Coghill for the closure of % of an alley
adjacent to 804 Surfside Avenue in Croatan. DISTRICT 6 - BEACH.
MEETING DATE:
November 25, 2008
. Background:
Thomas E. Coghill, Sr. and Nancy I. Coghill (the Applicants) request that the City
Council close the western 7.5 feet of a 15-foot wide unimproved alley adjacent to
their property at 804 Surfside Avenue for the purpose of incorporating this area
into their existing single-family residential lot.
. Considerations:
The City Council has a policy aimed at disposing of unimproved rights-of-way to
adjoining property owners in the Croatan community. All funds generated from
such closures are directed to a Croatan Beach Access account and ultimately the
funds collected are to be used by the City to purchase additional public accesses
to the beach in the Croatan area.
The Viewers have determined closure and abandonment of a portion of the
unimproved alley will not result in a public inconvenience; therefore, they
recommend closure of the right-of-way.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
closure will not result in public inconvenience, the request is consistent with the
City Council's policy to dispose of undeveloped alleys in the Croatan community,
and there was no opposition to the request.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding
ownership of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City
shall be determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's
Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.
Copies of the policy are available in the Planning Department.
.
THOMAS E. COGHILL, SR. AND NANCY I. COGHILL

Intemst in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.
CopiHs of the policy are available in the Planning Department.
2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the closed area into the adjoining parcel. The resubdivision plat
must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure
approval. Said plat must include the dedication of a drainage easement over
the cl!osed portion of the alley to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the
approval of the Department of Public Works and the City Attorney's office,
which easement shall include a right of reasonable ingress and egress.
3. The applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-way
proposed for closure. Preliminary comments from the utility companies
indicate that there are no private utilities within the right-of-way proposed for

4. Closure of the right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
abovl3 stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
PUBLIC WORKS: A plat providing a private drainage easement shall be reviewed and approved by the City of
Virginia Beach Public Works Department during detailed site plan review.
WATER & SEWER: No objection.
PRIVATE UTILITIES: Private utility companies indicate they have no facilities in the area designated for
closure.
Recommel1dation:
Staff recommends approval of this
request witll the conditions below.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan Map designates this area of the city as Primary Residential. The City's
Comprehensive Plan states that the objective of the Primary Residential Area is to protect the
predominantly suburban character that is defined, in large measure, by the stable neighborhoods of the
Primary Residential Area.
Evaluation:
The portion of the alley proposed for closure is part of an undeveloped alley that runs north to south along
the entire block. Other street closure requests similar to this request have been granted to homeowners
within the same block. The Viewers determined that the proposed closure will not result in a public
inconvenience; therefore, they recommend closure of the right-of-way. City Council adopted a policy
aimed at disposing of undeveloped right-of-ways to adjoining property owners in the Croatan community.
All funds gEmerated from such closures are directed to a Croatan Beach Access account and ultimately
the funds clJllected are to be used by the City to purchase additional public access to the beach in the
Croatan aroa. The proposed street closure is recommended for approval with the following conditions.
THOMAS E. COGHILL, SR. & NANCY I. COGHILL

CONDITIONS
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership of the underlying fee.
The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to the "Policy Regarding
Purchase of City's Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council. Copies
of the policy are available in the Planning Department.
2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to incorporate the closed area
into the adjoining parcels. The plat must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street
closure approval.
3. The applicant shall provide easements satisfactory to the utility company for any private utilities that
exist within the right-of-way proposed for closure.
4. Closure of the right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the above stated conditions
within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the conditions noted above are not accomplished and
the final plat is not approved within one year of the City Council vote to close the right-of-way this
approval shall be considered null and void.
5. A drainage easement as required by the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Department shall be
provided during subdivision plat review.
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.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Application of Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C. for a Chanae of Zonina 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: November 25,2008
. Background:
The City Council indefinitely deferred this application on April 8, 2008 to allow
City staff, the applicant, and the residents of the adjoining neighborhood to meet
for the primary purpose of resolving issues pertaining to traffic. As a result of
those discussions, the proffers of the rezoning have been modified as described
below under the 'Considerations' section. On September 25, the applicant's
representative submitted a letter to the City Clerk requesting that this application
be placed back on the earliest possible City Council agenda. A new public notice
sign was posted notifying the public of the November 18 hearing, the item was
legally advertised in the newspaper, and adjacent property owners were notified
as required by State Code. On November 18, however, due to a desired ,
provision missing from the proffers, the applicant requested deferral to this
meeting.
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).
Argold Dam NI~ck, L.L.C.
Page 2 of 2
. Considerations:
VehicLllar 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
varyinu 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.
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.
After the City Council deferred this application in April 2008, the applicant met
with City staff and representatives of the adjacent Newcastle residential
neighborhood. As a result of those discussions, the applicant has modified the
proffers submitted with the rezoning. The modified proffers are contained in the
attachod staff report and are summarized below:
· As a result of discussions pertaining to the possible need for a traffic
signal at Southcross Drive and Dam Neck Road, the conclusion was that
such a signal is not warranted; however, the improvement of the
intersection will be of benefit. Thus, the applicant has proffered the
installation of turn lanes on Dam Neck Road and the widening of both
sides of Southcross Drive to provide for two lanes exiting the
neighborhood. ,
· The applicant is proffering the installation of playground equipment in both
the pocket park located in the proposed development and the existing
park located in the Newcastle neighborhood.
· The applicant is proffering a tree preservation and restoration plan for the
buffer between the two neighborhoods.
· The applicant is proffering the installation of neighborhood entry signs with
landscaping on both sides of the intersection of Southcross Drive and
Dam Neck Road for the Newcastle neighborhood. The applicant is also
proffering the installation of rust-resistant metal lettering on the existing
neighborhood sign located on Salem Road.

Neck Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a two-lane undivided major suburban arterial.
The Master Transportation Plan proposes a divided facility with bikeway within a 125-foot right-of-way.
A Capital Improvement Program project is slated for Dam Neck Road in the vicinity of this site. Elbow
Road Extended - Phase II (CIP 2-152) is a First Cities Project which involves improving Elbow Road
from Indian River Road to the portion of Dam Neck Road just west of Landstown Road. The
improvements include a four-lane divided highway within a 125-foot right-of-way with a sidewalk, multi-
use path, landscaping, and aesthetic features. The project will also replace the existing sub-standard
Elbow Road Bridge. The start date for construction has been moved beyond 2012 due to reduced state
funding.

Public Works I Traffic Engineering has the following comments:
. A westbound left-turn lane is required on Dam Neck Road. The dimensions of the left-turn lane must be in
accordance with the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Specifications and Standards Manual.
. An eastbound right-turn lane is required on Dam Neck Road. The dimensions of the right-turn 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 interseGtion 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 Applk;ant 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-
wayaccurclcy. 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 corner 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 Gollection system is required to ensure future flows can be accommodated. The receiving
Pump Station 5'75 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 storm water 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.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
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 planning policies and principles for the Primary Residential Area focus strongly on
preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of the stable
neighborhoods located in this area. In a general sense, the established type, size, and relationship of land
use, both residential and non-residential, located in and around these neighborhoods should serve as a
guide when considering future development, (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).

Evaluation:

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-l 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: Wel'Come 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 AI 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 Y2 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 ba,ck 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 sptmd $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 01her 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 th(:re 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 then 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 si1uation 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 remrurks offso 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 AI Moore.
AI Moore: Members of the Commission, Madame Chairwoman, thank you for giving us the
opportunity.
Janice Anderson: Please state your name again for the record.
AI Moore: It is AI 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
I I

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.
AI 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 AI 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 AI s'aid, 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-l. 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 becaw;e 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 Milligatl: The whole process starts over.
Janice Anderson: Yes it does.
Joseph Milligatl: Okay. Thank you.
Donald Horsley: There are no other speakers.
Janice Andersen: 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 disa,greement. 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-5D and not R-15, which is along
Salem Road do wn 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
; I
Item #4
Argold Dam Neck, L.L.C.

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! 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.

Janice Andersen: 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: lhe 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 AI.
AI 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.
AI Henley: Fivt: years.
Ric Lowman: Yes sir.
AI Henley: So, in due time in five years or anytime earlier, then if those conditions prevail
then, of course 1he signal would be installed at that time.
Ric Lowman: Yes sir.
AI Henley: Thank you.

Janice Anderson: Are there any other questions? Thank you Ric. I'll open it up for
discussion.
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.

ITEM: IMPRESSIVE FITNESS, LLC D/B/A ANYTIME FITNESS, Conditional Use
Permit (indoor recreational facility), 5300 Kempsriver Drive ,(GPIN 1466306381).
CENTERVILLE DISTRICT.
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2008
. Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for a 24-hour fitness center in
the Kemps River Shopping Center, within a space formerly occupied by a video
rental store. The proposed business, Anytime Fitness, is located in 46 states
and Canada.
. Considerations:
Members can workout any time of the day or night through use of a security
access card to enter the club, even when it is not staffed. The computer software
tracking system monitors check in. Approximately 10 percent of members choose
to workout between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. The strength training
equipment does not include free weights but rather plate loaded systems that do
not require a spotter or exercise partner. The club offers private and secure
restrooms and changing areas. The facility is equipped with 24 hour surveillance
security cameras both inside and outside the facility, a tailgate detection system
for entry doors, hard wired panic buttons, personal panic devices, motion
detectors, wireless door contacts, and glass break detectors. Defibrillators will
also be onsite.
To gain entrance, a member' holds their key fob or membership card in front of a
device called a proximity reader. The reader gathers information and transmits it
to a computer inside the facility. The computer verifies that the key is valid and if
the member should be admitted into the club. As a member enters, they pass a
mechanism called a tailgate detection system. This system validates only one
person to enter the facility at a time. If more than one person enters, an audible
alarm is triggered and a digital video recorder (DVR) will speed up the images
per second on the member entrance door camera. Wired and wireless personal
security devices (PSD) offer instant emergency notification in the event of a
serious accident or illness. When a PSD button is pushed, a monitoring company
will immediately call the local authorities and then contact the owner. Emergency
personnel would obtain a key to the facility from a Knox box installed on the
IMPRESSIVE FITNESS L.L.C. DBA ANTI ME FITNESS

exterior of the club near the entrance. The wireless PSD can be worn out of the
facility and into the parking lot and functions up to 200 yards from the building.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because they
felt that this was an acceptable use for this site, the use will generate far fewer
vehicle tlrips during the peak period than a typical retail use, and there was no
opposition to the request.
. Recomnrlendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 to
approve this request.

Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this
request as submitted.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as within the Primary Residential Area. The Plan recognizes
the primacy of preserving and protecting the overall character, economic value and aesthetic quality of
the stable neighborhoods in the Primary Residential Area. Development adjacent to stable
neighborhoods should generally try to reinforce rather than change the positive character of
neighborhoods. The Plan states that: "Limited commercial or institutional activities providing desired
goods or services to residential neighborhoods may be considered acceptable uses on the edge of
established neighborhoods provided effective measures are taken to ensure compatibility and non-
proliferation of such activities." In general terms, this means that the established type, size and
relationship of land uses, both residential and non-residential, in and around neighborhood areas should
serve as the guide when considering future development proposals.
Evaluation:
Staff recommends approval of the request for an Indoor Recreational Facility at this location.
While the operation of a business 24 hours a day is not typical, the applicant has addressed issues of
particular concern related to safety and traffic. The information provided was reviewed and supported by
the Police Department. Traffic is far reduced with this use over a typical retail operation, which is
particularly important, as this portion of Kempsville Road is often overburdened with traffic, particularly
during peak hours.

Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda?
David Theodore: Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: The Chairman has asked Barry Knight to review this item.
Barry Knight: This agenda item 7 is Anytime Fitness. The applicant requests a Conditional
Use Permit for a 24-hour fitness center in the Kemps River Shopping Center, within a space
formally occupied by a video rental store. The members can work out any time of day or
night through a security access card. It is in a shopping center. We had a little discussion
about peak hour traffic load there, but the way it is zoned, it could have a business by-right
there with more traffic; so, we view it as an acceptable use of this space of a shopping and
have placed it on the consent agenda.
Joseph Strange: Thank you Barry. Madam Chairman, I make a motion to approve agenda
item 7.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: NKE ASSETS, LLC D.B.A. LIGHTING VIRGINIA, Conditional Use Permit
(bulk storage). 596 Central Drive, Suite 110 (GPIN 14967643971540). BEACH
DISTRICT.
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2008
. Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for bulk storage, which will
permit the temporary storage of six (6) portable storage containers in the rear of
the property. The storage containers are currently located on the site. The
applicant was not aware of the Use Permit requirement for use of the containers
as storage.
. Considerations:
The applicant occupies Suite 110 and recently purchased the adjacent
commercial condominium unit, Suite 109, for additional storage and increasing
inventory for the applicant's lighting business.
This site is in an area surrounded by industrial uses where bulk storage (storage
containers) requires a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant was unaware of this
requirement, and once informed, applied for the permit. The six (6) existing
storage containers are located to the rear of the property in the southeast comer.
The containers are screened from the front of the site by the office-warehouse
building, screened from the rear by the adjacent self-storage facility rear wall,
which extends almost the entire length of the eastern property line. Along the
southern property line, there is a continuous hedge of landscape that screens
this property from the adjacent fire station. The rear entrance to the property is
on Industry Lane, which leads directly to the rear parking area for the vehicles of
the various businesses, unloading and loading, as well as deliveries.
Use of portable cargo containers is not the preferred method for storage of
inventory or equipment. The applicant concurs, and since he also has need for
additional space, he is investigating the possibility of renting another
condominium unit, which will eventually eliminate the need for the storage
containers. To ensure the storage within the containers is moved to a permanent
building and the containers are then removed, a condition is recommended
below that limits this Use Permit to a one-year time period. This will allow the
applicant time to secure the neighboring warehouse unit, make any changes to
NKE Assets, L.L.C.
Page 2 of2
the space that may be necessary, and then move the stored items into the new
space.
The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the
use of the storage trailers is temporary, the trailers are well-screened from
surrounding properties, and there was no opposition to the request.
. Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0 to
approve this request with the following conditions:
1. Container storage of equipment related to the business shall be limited to the
area defined "Container Storage Area" on the submitted plan entitled
"Condominium plat of Central Drive Condominium", Sheet 1 of 4, prepared by
G.F. Sutton & Associates Engineers, Surveyors, Planners, dated 2-23-88.
Said plan has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and is
on 1ile in Planning Department.
2. Thi~; Conditional Use Permit is valid for a one (1) year period from the date of
approval by City Council with no extensions.
3. There shall be no outdoor storage of equipment.
4. The applicant shall obtain all required permits and inspections from the
Planning Department's Permits and Inspections Division and the Fire
Department.

The site is in an AICUZ of Greater than 75 dB Ldn and within Accident
Potential Zone (APZ) 2 surrounding NAS Oceana and is subject to an
easement owned by the United States Navy. The Navy has no objection
to this request, as the use is compatible with this AICUZ. A bulk storage
yard (storage containers) is allowed under the terms and conditions of
the Grant of Easement.
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendcltion:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehonsive Plan Map recognizes this area of the city as Strategic Growth Area 9 - West Oceana
Area. The Comprehensive Plan identifies this property located in the southeastern part of this Strategic
Growth Area as suitable for low-intensity industrial uses that conform to AICUZ provisions.
Evaluation:
This site is in an area surrounded by industrial uses where bulk storage (storage containers) requires a
Conditional Use Permit. The applicant was unaware of this requirement, and once informed, applied for
the permit. The six (6) existing storage containers are located to the rear of the property in the southeast
corner. The containers are screened from the front of the site by the office-warehouse building, screened
from the rear by the adjacent self-storage facility rear wall, which extends almost the entire length of the
eastern property line. Along the southern property line, there is a continuous hedge of landscape that
screens this property from the adjacent fire station. The rear entrance to the property is on Industry Lane,
which leads directly to the rear parking area for the vehicles of the various businesses, unloading and
loading, as well as deliveries.

Use of portable cargo containers is not the preferred method for storage of inventory or equipment. The
applicant concurs, and since he also has need for additional space, he is investigating the possibility of
renting another condominium unit, which will eventually eliminate the need for the storage containers. To
ensure the storage within the containers is moved to a permanent building and the containers are then
removed, a condition is recommended below that limits this Use Permit to a one-year time period. This
will allow the applicant time to secure the neighboring warehouse unit, make any changes to the space
that may be necessary, and then move the stored items into the new space.
The site is also located within a Greater than 75 dB Ldn AICUZ and an Accident Potential Zone 2, which
limits uses on this site. This use is, however, in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and is
compatible with the adjacent industrial area and Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ)
regulations.
Staff finds the request to temporarily store containers on-site acceptable with the conditions listed below.
CONDITIONS
1. Container storage of equipment related to the business shall be limited to the area defined Container
Storage Area on the submitted plan entitled "Condominium plat of Central Drive Condominium",
Sheet 1 of 4, prepared by G.F. Sutton & Associates Engineers, Surveyors, Planners, dated 2-23-88.
Said plan has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in Planning
Department.
2. This Conditional Use Permit is valid for a one (1) year period from the date of approval by City Council
with no extensions.
3. There shall be no outdoor storage of equipment.
4. The applicant shall obtain all required permits and inspections from the Planning Department's Permits
and Inspections Division and the Fire Department.
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.

Joseph Strange: The next item is item 8, an application ofNKE Assets, L.L.C. d/b/a
Lighting Virginia for a Conditional Use Permit for bulk storage on property located at 596
Central Drive, Suite 110, District 6, Beach, with four conditions.
Tariq Louka: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the Planning Commission. My name
is Tariq Louka on behalf ofNKE Assets. We have read the conditions and we have no
objection.
Joseph Strange: Thank you very much. The Chairman has asked Jay Bernas to review this
item.
Jay Bernas: Thank you. This is a Conditional Use Permit for bulk storage. This site is
located in an area surrounded by industrial uses. The applicant was unaware of the
requirement to getting a Conditional Use Permit, and once informed they applied for one.
There are six (6) existing storage containers located on the rear of this property. The
containers are screened from the site by the office warehouse building and from the side by
heavy landscaping. The applicant agrees that this is not the preferred method to storage ,
inventory, and has been looking for other condominium units in this building to store these
items. This is a temporary use; so, therefore we added a condition 2 that limits this
Conditional use Permit to a one year time period. And therefore, the Commission felt that
they should be placed on the consent agenda for approval.
Joseph Strange: Thank you Jay. Madame Chairman, I would like to make a motion to
approve agenda item 8.
Janice Anderson: A motion by Joe Strange and a second by Barry Knight.

improve water quality. The Green Ribbon Committee Final Report was
presented to the City Council on Nov. 20, 2007.
Since November, the Committee has been working on measures directed at
implementing recommendations of the Final Report. The Preliminary Draft of
Green Ribbon Implementation Committee Recommendations was completed on

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT
At its May 9, 2006 meeting, the Virginia Beach City Council
established the Green Ribbon Committee and appointed members to the Committee to provide advice
and assistance to the City Council in matters relating to water quality in the City's waterways.
The first meeting of the Green Ribbon Committee was held on Nov. 9, 2006. The 30-member committee
spent more than 600 hours developing recommendations for regulatory, procedural and operational
changes that the City can consider to improve water quality. The Green Ribbon Committee F.inal Report
was presented to the City Council on Nov, 20, 2007.
Since November, the Committee has been working on measures directed at implementing
recommendations of the Final Report. The Preliminary Draft of Green Ribbon Implementation Committee
Recommendations was completed on May 19, 2008. The Implementation Committee delivered its Report
to City Council on July 1, 2008 and presented the Green Ribbon Committee Implementation Report at the
July 8, 2008 City Council Briefing,
The proposed amendment is a component of Phase One of the Implementation Program, The
amendment deletes the requirement for minimum right-of-way and pavement widths for minor subdivision
streets (those that serve 10 or more residential lots of less than 7,500 square feet), The affect is to reduce
the width of such streets from a right-of-way of 60 feet to 50 feet, with a corresponding reduction in
pavement width from 36 feet to 30 feet. This amendment was recommended by the Green Ribbon
Committee as a means of reducing impervious cover.
As background regarding the evolution of street widths in Virginia Beach, the following is provided. In
early 1988, Section 4.1(m) of the Subdivision Regulations contained two subsections under "Minor"
streets, Le., "a) commercial or industrial uses" and "b) residential uses," The "residential uses" required a
minimum right-of-way width of 50 feet and a paved section of 30 feet.

'Agenda Item: 22
R~g'~1
During the 1970s and 1980s, many subdivisions with small lots were created. Some of these subdivisions
used the R-B Residential zoning district with its 5000 square foot lots, 50-foot widths and the "zero lot line"
or "reduced side yard setback" options. Others used the A-1 Apartment zoning district to create 40-foot
wide townhc,use lots with units attached by sheds to obtain higher density with a single-family
appearance Small single-family lots were also allowed in the A-1 district.
The combination of 20-foot front yard setbacks, single wide driveways and the ability to use the garage
for required parking soon developed into a safety issue in these neighborhoods. Since garages are
seldom used for parking a vehicle and residents usually do not like moving the last vehicle in the driveway
to allow the l'irst vehicle to exit, parking on both sides of the street became the standard.
On April 18, 1988, City Council adopted a completely revised City Zoning Ordinance. One of the many
changes addressed residential parking. Section 505 restricted the use of garages and enclosed or
covered parking spaces from being used to meet the residential off-street parking requirements. This
change, coupled with the small front yard setbacks, forced these types of developments to either increase
the front yard setbacks to 36 feet or provide double wide driveways, thereby relieving the streets from
assuming a large amount of the burden of supplying parking for the dwellings. In most, if not all cases, the
double wide driveway was provided; however, the ordinance continued to allow stacked parking for one
and two fam Iy residential units.
On September 6, 1988, City Council approved the first of two changes to the Subdivision Regulations to
further addre,ss parking on the streets of subdivisions with small lots. Section 4.1(m) Minor streets (b) was
expanded to allow lots of 7500 square feet or more or fewer than 10 lots of less than 7500 square feet on
a cul-de-sac to develop on a 50-foot right-of-way and a 3D-foot paved section. Subsection (c) was created
to require 10 or more lots of less than 7500 square feet to develop on a 60-foot right-of-way and a 36-foot
paved section. The other newly created Subsection (d) required townhouse lots to be platted on a 50-foot
right-of-way ;:Jnd a 30-foot paved section.
Section 4,1(rn) Minor streets (b) was once again amended on June 11,1990. This amendment allowed
the lots referenced in Subsection (c) [10 or more lots less than 7500 square feet] to have the option of
using a 50-fclot right-of-way with a 3D-foot paved section if all of the required driveways are a minimum of
18 feet in width,

CONSENT
Joseph Strange: The next item is item 22. An Ordinance to amend Section 4.1 ofthe
Appendix B, Subdivision Regulations pertaining to the deletion ofthe Minimum Right-of-
way Width and Minimum Paved Width for Minor Subdivision Streets. Is there any
opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? If not, the Chairman has asked
Al Henley to review this item.
Al Henley: Thank you. This section is concerning an amendment to the City Ordinance
regarding subdivision regulations pertaining to the deletion of the minimum right-of-way
width and a minimum paved width of minor subdivision streets. In 2006, City Council
established a Green Ribbon Committee, which I had the honor of serving on, and appointed
members of the committee to provide service and assistance to City Council in matters
relating to water quality in the city's waterways. This amendment deletes the requirement
for minimum right-of-way and pavement widths for minor subdivisions and the width for
such streets or residential lots that are less than 7,500 square feet. The affect is to reduce a
width of such street from the right-of-way from 60 feet to 50 feet with a corresponding
reduction in pavement width from 36 feet to 30 feet. This amendment was recommended by
the Green Ribbon Committee as a means of reducing impervious cover to improve water
quality. As background regarding the evolution of street widths in Virginia Beach,
Subdivision Regulations contained two subsections under "Minor" streets. They were
commercial or industrial and residential uses. The residential uses require a minimum width
of 50 feet and a paved section of 30 feet. This amendment allows ten or more lots less than
7,500 square feet to have an option of using the 50-foot right-of-way width and a 30-foot of
paved section of street, and providing the driveways are a minimum width of 18 feet. Being
that this is good for the environment, we have placed this on the consent agenda. Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Thank you AI. Madam Chairman, I make a motion to approve agenda item
22.
Janice Anderson: I have a motion by Joe Strange and a second by Gene Crabtree.
