Background: Among the recommendations of the Green Ribbon Committee is that the Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance be amended to require that all denuded or disturbed areas on sites be stabilized prior to the final release of any land disturbing activity permit or the issuance of a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy. This item was deferred on November 25, 2008. . Considerations: The proposed ordinance would accomplish the recommendation of the Green Ribbon Committee by amending City Code Section 30-59 to add the foregoing requirement. . Public Information: A public hearing has been advertised for November 25th in addition to the normal advertising of agenda items. The ordinance has also been included in the briefings provided to the City Council on the recommendations of the Green Ribbon Committee. . Recommendations: Adoption of ordinance .

Approved plan required for issuance of grading, building or 15 other permits; security for performance; site stabilization. 16 17 (a) Prior to the issuance of any grading, building or other permit for 18 activities involving land-disturbing activities, the applicant shall submit an 19 application with an approved erosion and sediment control plan and certification 20 that the plan will be followed. In addition, as a prerequisite to engaging in the land- 21 disturbing activity as shown on the approved plan, permit or agreement in lieu of a 22 plan, the person responsible for carrying out the plan or agreements in lieu of a 23 plan shall provide the name of a responsible land disturber, who will be in charge 24 of and responsible for carrying out the land-disturbing activity. Failure to provide 25 the name of a responsible land disturber prior to engaging in land disturbing 26 activities may result in revocation of the plan approval, and the person responsible 27 for carrying out the plan shall be subject to the penalties provided in this article. 28 29 However, the planning department may waive the requirement for an 30 agreement in lieu of a plan for construction of a single-family residence to provide 31 the name of a responsible land disturber. If a violation occurs during the land- 32 disturbing activity, then the person responsible for carrying out the agreement in 33 lieu of a plan shall correct the violation and provide the name of a responsible 34 land disturber. Failure to provide the name of a responsible land disturber shall be 35 a violation of this article. 36 37 ( c ) Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. whether 38 temporary or permanent. or the final release of any permit authorizing a land- 39 disturbinQ activity. all disturbed or denuded areas shall be stabilized in 40 accordance with the VirQinia Erosion and Sediment Control Law and ReQulations 41 by such methods as. but not limited to. temporary seeding. permanent seedinQ. 42 soddinQ or soil stabilization blankets and mattinQ.

Background: The Green Ribbon Committee Report recommendation is to "Amend the City Code to prohibit feeding of wildlife". This item was deferred on November 25, 2008. . 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 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. .

(2) "Feed" shall mean to qive. place, expose, deposit. distribute or scatter any edible material with the intention that such material be consumed by wildlife. (c) A violation of this section shall constitute a civil infraction punishable by a fine in an amount not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for a first violation and fifty dollars ($50.00) for each successive violation. Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, on the day of , 2008. COMMENT The ordinance makes it unlawful, as a civil infraction rather than a criminal offense, to feed wildlife on publicly-owned property. No violation occurs unless signs giving notice 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 of the prohibition are posted in a conspicuous location upon the property and a law enforcement officer has provided a prior warning that continued feeding of wildlife will result in a violation.

MEETING DATE: December 2,2008 . Background: Significantly higher prices for uranium yellowcake have resurrected proposals to mine and mill uranium in Pittsylvania County, upstream of the Lake Gaston water supply. In 1983, Virginia enacted a legislative ban on uranium mining which remains in effect today. However, Virginia Uranium, Inc. is conducting a public relations and lobbying effort to convince the General Assembly to eliminate the ban so that it may mine and extract up to 100 million pounds of uranium from Pittsylvania County over 25 to 30 years. City Council is on record twice in 1985 calling first for an indefinite ban on Uranium mining in the Commonwealth, and later for a permanent ban. . Considerations: Uranium mining produces vast quantities of highly mobile, sand and clay-like sediments known as tailings that retain 85% of the original ore's radioactivity for hundreds of thousands of years. All of the uranium mines in the United States (and most in the world) are operated in areas with arid climates, where the total annual rainfall is less than what can be produced in a few hours from a not-so-infrequent storm in Virginia. Historically, the mining industry and its federal regulator had an abysmal record of protecting the public from the significant health and environmental consequences of these radioactive tailings. Inability to properly manage water, even in these arid states, was often a factor. Ultimately, the federal government had to step in and spend billions of dollars over three decades to remediate the damage. Uranium mining proponents indicate that more stringent federal regulations and better design of confinement cells will prevent this from happening today, even in light of Virginia's storm potential. However, there are no examples of these confinement cells surviving the erosive and structural damage that would result from a storm similar to that which struck Nelson County in 1969 (Hurricane Camille) or Madison County in 1995. . Public Information: This issue was the subject of a Council briefing on November 25, 2008 and it has been advertised in the same manner as other items on City Council's agenda. . Alternatives: The alternatives are to take no action, support or oppose a study of uranium mining impacts, and/or oppose uranium mining and the lifting of the moratorium. . Recommendations: For the reasons discussed in the attached policy report, it is recommended that City Council adopt a resolution opposing uranium mining in Virginia and lifting of the moratorium until it can be demonstrated that there will be no significant release of radioactive sediments downstream. .

and 12 13 WHEREAS, present-day estimates of uranium ore in Pittsylvania County and the 14 price of uranium yellowcake indicate that uranium deposits in Pittsylvania County may 15 be worth as much as $7 to $10 billion, prompting proposals to study the consequences 16 of repealing the moratorium and developing a regulatory framework for uranium mining; 17 and 18 19 WHEREAS, a company known as Virginia Uranium, Inc. has proposed to 20 establish one of the largest uranium mining operations in North America in Pittsylvania 21 County; and 22 23 WHEREAS, uranium mining by the process likely to be used in Pittsylvania 24 County, if such mining is ultimately approved, results in the creation of huge volumes of 25 highly mobile, radioactive, sand and clay-like sediments known as mill tailings, which are 26 stored as slurries and sludge in ponds, and ultimately as dewatered tailings piles, where 27 they retain 85% of their original radioactivity for hundreds of thousands of years; and 28 29 WHEREAS, historically, tailings pile confinement structures have failed in the 30 United States and elsewhere, resulting in the release of radioactive particles and 31 sediments to downstream surface waters; and 32 33 WHEREAS, it is well-documented and generally agreed within the scientific 34 community that long-term exposure to the level of radiation that could result from a 35 failure of a tailings pile confinement structure, or even a less catastrophic release, are 36 highly deleterious to human health; and 37 38 WHEREAS, historically, many uranium mines have not been properly operated or 39 closed, or in many instances have been abandoned, resulting in radioactive 40 contamination of ground and surface waters, and in some cases leaving a legacy of 41 environmental and human tragedy; and 42 43 WHEREAS, all uranium mines in the United States have, to date, been located in 44 states with low rainfall and high evaporation rates, both of which are important factors in 45 managing water and minimizing flooding, whereas Virginia's climate includes frequent 46 tropical storms, hurricanes, and nor' easters, many of which have produced more rainfall 47 in a few hours than the total annual precipitation of the arid states where the nation's 48 uranium mines are located; and 49 50 WHEREAS, by contrast, Virginia's surface water hydrology has the capacity to 51 cause significant erosion and structural damage to tailings piles, dams, and caps while 52 simultaneously providing long-distance, transport and dispersal downstream of 53 radioactive sediments released as a consequence of such erosion and damage, and 54 many of the uranium mining catastrophes in arid states were caused by the inability to 55 properly manage water, even though water management in such states is much less 56 problematic than in Virginia; and 57 58 WHEREAS, these past environmental disasters were also attributable to serious 59 deficiencies in the practices of the uranium mining industry and inadequate federal 60 regulation, such that in the United States, the federal government was forced to 61 intervene to remediate the harm and damage, and after two and one-half decades of 62 remediation and billions of dollars of expenditures, those efforts are still underway; and 63 64 WHEREAS, Virginia Beach and Chesapeake own a raw water intake on Lake 65 Gaston, which is downstream of the proposed mining operation in Pittsylvania County, 66 and water from the Lake Gaston Project is intermixed throughout the water supplies of 67 Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach; and 68 69 WHEREAS, if a flood of the magnitude of that caused by Hurricane Camille in 70 1969 were to fragment one or more tailings piles and transport radioactive mill tailings 71 downstream into Kerr Reservoir and Lake Gaston, the Lake Gaston Project might be 72 rendered inoperable for an indefinite period of time; and 73 74 WHEREAS, a worst-case scenario would include abandonment of the lake 75 Gaston Project, termination of the water services contract with Norfolk (requiring the 76 payment to Norfolk of its stranded capital costs), and the construction of a seawater 77 desalination plant to replace the abandoned water supply at a direct cost to Virginia 78 Beach in excess of $500 million; and 79 80 WHEREAS proponents of uranium mining do not dispute the environmental 81 consequences of past uranium mining practices in the United States or elsewhere, but 82 instead maintain that much more stringent regulations and improved uranium tailings 83 confinement technology will prevent any significant release of radioactive substances 84 downstream; and 85 86 WHEREAS, no mines or uranium tailings confinement cells have ever been 87 constructed in locations, such as Virginia, that are subject to frequent tropical storms, 88 hurricanes, nor'easters, and other storms that can and have produced precipitation 89 approaching the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP), as defined by the National 90 Weather Service, such that there can be no reasonable assurance under the present 91 state of knowledge of the subject that uranium mining can be performed safely in 92 Virginia; and 2 93 94 WHEREAS, on November 6, 2008, the Virginia Coal and Energy Commission 95 (VCEC) adopted a resolution urging the Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research 96 (VCCER) to enter into an agreement with the National Academy of Sciences, or other 97 comparable scientific or academic institution independent of the Center, to conduct a 98 wide-ranging study of the impact of uranium mining in the Commonwealth of Virginia; 99 and 100 101 WHEREAS, the City of Virginia Beach does not oppose an unbiased, scientific 102 study of the potential impacts of uranium mining in Virginia by an independent entity 103 such as the National Academy of Sciences. 104 105 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 106 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 107 108 That unless and until it can be demonstrated a reasonable degree of scientific 109 certainty that there will be no significant release of radioactive sediments downstream 110 under any circumstances, including, but not limited to, a direct hit on the mining facilities 111 by a Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) storm event, the City of Virginia Beach is 112 opposed to: (1) uranium mining in Virginia, including the proposed Virginia Uranium 113 operation; (2) the elimination of the existing legislative moratorium on uranium mining, 114 and (3) any attempt to develop a regulatory framework for uranium mining. 115 116 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA 117 BEACH, VIRGINIA: 118 119 That any study commissioned by or used by the Commonwealth of Virginia to 120 determine the feasibility of uranium mining in Virginia must include the following criteria: 121 122 (1) The study must thoroughly evaluate the risks, including those 123 resulting from a worst-case scenario as previously described, to 124 the citizens of Virginia and assess whether uranium mining and 125 milling in Virginia can be undertaken in a manner that will 126 completely safeguard the Commonwealth's environment, natural 127 and historic resources, agricultural lands, and the health and well- 128 being of its citizens; 129 130 (2) The entire study process must be open to the public and the press; 131 132 (3) The City of Virginia Beach and other potentially impacted 133 jurisdictions must be included as active participants in the study 134 process; 135 136 (4) The study must be conducted, and the conclusions of such study 137 shall be determined, by a group of qualified and impartial experts, 138 such as the National Academy of Sciences, who are completely 3 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 independent of the uranium mining industry, the nuclear power industry, and any state commission that has assumed or been charged with the responsibility for providing such a study; (5) A peer review group that is independent of the VCEC and the VCCER and includes adequate representation from environmental, public health, water supply and water resource agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers, is established to monitor and critique the study; and (6) That the study must be adequately funded and under no deadline for the completion of the study. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: That the City Clerk is hereby directed to transmit a certified copy of this Resolution to each member and member-elect of the City's Congressional and General Assembly Delegations.

Hansen, Deputy City Manager Tom Leahy, Director of Public Utilities Policy Report Uranium Mining in the Roanoke River Basin Backaround: In the late 1970's, the Marline Uranium Corporation estimated it had discovered 30 million pounds of uranium in Pittsylvania County, VA potentially worth more than $1 billion. However, by 1982, the price of processed uranium oxide (yellowcake) had declined to roughly half of its 1978 price, and interest in mining the deposits waned. Three Mile Island and a number of uranium mining mishaps had made the public aware of the potential health and environmental hazards of nuclear power and uranium mining. In 1983, the Virginia General Assembly enacted a statewide moratorium on uranium mining, which remains in effect today. Until recently, there were no efforts to lift the moratorium because the price for uranium yellowcake remained low. However, both the estimate of available ore in Pittsylvania County, and the price of yellowcake have increased dramatically. The uranium deposits in Pittsylvania County may be worth seven to ten billion dollars. Virginia Uranium, Inc. is conducting a public relations campaign and lobbying the General Assembly to lift the moratorium on uranium mining so that up to 100 million pounds of uranium can be mined from a location known as Cole's Hill. During the 2008 General Assembly, S8525 was introduced to establish the Virginia Uranium Mining Commission. The Commission's purpose was to advise the Governor and General Assembly as to whether uranium mining in Virginia could be undertaken in a manner that would protect the Commonwealth's citizens, environment, and natural resources. Opponents claimed that the legislation failed to mandate an impartial scientific analysis, did not provide adequate public input, and suggested a foregone conclusion. The legislation was modified to address these concerns, but it was tabled by the House committee. On November 6, 2008, the Virginia Coal and Energy Commission (VCEC) passed a motion asking the Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research (VCCER) to contract with the National Academy of Sciences, or other comparable scientific or academic institution, to conduct a study of the impact of uranium mining on the Commonwealth. The VCEC established a subcommittee to oversee the study 1. The VCEC motion did not identify or provide a funding source. Considerations: A uranium mine and mill is a combination of an open pit mine2, a milling operation in which uranium ore/rock is pulverized, and a chemical plant which extracts small J The VCCER is a university research center established at VPI&SU. Its advisory board is consists mostly of representatives of the coal, energy and transportation industries, but no environmental resource agencies. The VCEC subcommittee does not include any representation from the Roanoke River Basin. 2 Open-pit mining is the process most likely to be proposed for uranium mining in Pittsylvania County. There are other processes but local conditions do not appear to favor or be consistent with the requirements of these other processes. 1 of 4 amounts of uranium from large amounts of ore. Huge volumes of highly mobile, radioactive, sand and clay-like sediments known as mill tailings are a byproduct of the operation. They are stored as slurries and sludge in ponds, and then ultimately as dewatered tailings piles, where they retain 85% oftheir original radioactivity for hundreds ofthousands of years. Non-radioactive earth and overburden in combination with clay and synthetic liners are used to construct dams and caps, the purpose of which is to confine and immobilize these radioactive mill tailings. A number of tailings pile/dam failures have occurred in the United States, Canada, and world- wide, resulting in the release of radioactive particles and sediments to downstream surface waters. Historically, many tailings piles were not properly confined (or confined at all), and in many instances abandoned when the price of uranium declined. This resulted in radioactive contamination of ground and surface waters, and in some cases, a legacy of environmental and human tragedy. In the United States, the federal government had to step in to remediate these environmental disasters. After three decades and billions of dollars, that work is still underway. All of the open-pit uranium mines in the United States (and most in the world) are located in areas with low rainfall and high evaporation - important factors for dewatering radioactive slurries, and minimizing erosion and flooding. Virginia's climate is the opposite - high rainfall and low evaporation. Virginia is subject to frequent tropical storms, hurricanes, and nor'easters, some of which are devastating. A single storm in Virginia can produce more rainfall in a few hours than the total annual precipitation of the arid states where the nation's uranium mines are located. Virginia's climate has the capacity to cause massive erosion and structural damage to tailings piles, dams, and caps while simultaneously providing long-distance, transport and dispersal of the radioactive sediments throughout the downstream watershed. Virginia Beach and Chesapeake own a raw water intake and pump station at Lake Gaston, in Brunswick County, VA. Lake Gaston water is pumped to Norfolk's water reservoirs in Isle of Wight and Suffolk. Subject to a contract, Norfolk delivers an equivalent amount of treated water from the Moores Bridges Water Treatment Plant to Virginia Beach. Due to the interconnections among the water utilities, Lake Gaston water is intermixed in all three city water supplies. During the 2007-08 drought, the Gaston project provided about one-third of the total municipal water demand in Southside Hampton Roads. The primary concern to Virginia Beach and Southside Hampton Roads is contamination of Lake Gaston if a storm similar to that which hit Nelson County, VA in 1969 (Hurricane Camille) or Madison County , VA in 19953 were to fragment confinement cells and transport the radioactive tailings downstream to Kerr Reservoir and Lake Gaston (see figure). The mining of the Cole's Hill deposits alone would result in a dozen or more tailings confinement cells, each about twice the footprint of Mount Trashmore (but lower in height depending upon how much could be placed below grade)4. Each cell would contain roughly 2.5 million cubic yards (4 million tons) of radioactive sediments. If all 100 million pounds of uranium were mined. the combined tailings would equal 50 million tons, or about one-fifth of the current total national inventory. The City's contract with Norfolk states that Virginia Beach must deliver water to Norfolk that is treatable by Norfolk's existing water treatment plants. Norfolk's water treatment plants were not 3 These two storms produced 81 % and 86% of the maximum probable precipitation, respectively. 4 This estimate is based upon representations that about 100 million pounds of yellowcake would be produced at a rate of three to four million pounds per year from raw ore containing 0.1% uranium oxide, 2 of 4 designed to remove radioactive substances, although they might remove some. Therefore, if Kerr and Gaston were contaminated, depending upon the level ofthat contamination, the pipeline might have to be shut down for an indefinite period of time. This is an unlikely event, but it is not inconceivable and the consequences would be severe. A worst case scenario would include abandonment of the Gaston project, termination of the water services contract (requiring the payment of stranded capital costs), and the construction of a seawater desalination plant to replace the abandoned water supply. The direct costs to Virginia Beach alone would be substantially more than $500 million. Representatives of Virginia Uranium do not dispute the environmental consequences of past uranium mining practices. Instead, they indicate that uranium mining is now regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) whose primary mission is to protect the public health, as opposed to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), whose primary mission was to produce uranium. They believe that this fact combined with modern methods of constructing uranium tailings confinement cells will prevent any significant release of radioactive substances downstream. There is some merit to this view - the AEC's historical stewardship of radioactive tailings was abysmal and existing NRC regulations are a significant improvement. Staff has not been able to identify examples of these new confinement cells located in areas that have climate similar to Virginia's, or any that have ever been subject to the storm intensities that occur in Virginia. Furthermore, NRC regulations may not be sufficient for Virginia's climate. For example, with respect to radioactive tailings, NRC regulations require only that the mine operator provide "reasonable assurance of control of radiological hazards to . . . be effective for 1,000 years, to the extent reasonablv achievable, and, in any case, for at least 200 years." 1 0 CFR Part 40, Appendix A, emphasis added. However, Hurricane Camille caused the equivalent of 2,000 years of erosion in a single night, and the historical record is replete with instances of mankind overestimating its ability to tame nature. Alternatives: The alternatives are to 1) take no action, 2) support a study of uranium mining impacts, 3) oppose a study, 4) oppose uranium mining and the lifting of the moratorium on uranium mining altogether, or 5) some combination, thereof. Taking no action would be tantamount to stating that the City does not oppose uranium mining upstream of its primary water supply. This is not recommended due to the potentially catastrophic impacts to Virginia Beach, Southside Hampton Roads, and the Roanoke Basin. With respect to a study, the VCEC has appointed a steering subcommittee that has no representation from the Roanoke River Basin, and has asked the VCCER, a university research center with an advisory board made up mostly of representatives of the coal, energy and transportation industries, to procure the study. No environmental, public health, or water supply agencies have been included in the process, and no funding has been identified. In the early 1980's, the VCEC had formed a Uranium Subcommittee and Uranium Administrative Group (US/UAG) to study the issue in response to the Marline proposals. In 1985, the US/UAG overwhelmingly recommended moving forward with uranium mining in Virginia. There is no disputing that historically, the uranium industry and its regulators had considerable deficiencies which resulted in serious harm to people and the environment. These problems occurred from the 1950's through the early 1980's when the industry literally shut down, and the federal government had to step in to clean up the mess. Many of these environmental disasters 3 of 4 were related to the inability to properly manage water and water pollution. This is significant because these failures occurred in arid states where water management is far less problematic than in Virginia. It is this context in which the US/UAG advocated the precedent of establishing uranium mining in a meteorologically wet state like Virginia. However, the General Assembly did not agree. Neither did the Virginia Beach City Council, which passed two resolutions in 1985 calling first for an "indefinite moratorium" on uranium mining and second for a "permanent ban." Although uranium mining upstream of its water supply will never be in the City's best interest, it is inappropriate for the City to oppose proceedings that would expand knowledge of the issue. Therefore, the City should not oppose a study of the impacts of uranium mining. If a study is to proceed, the following criteria should be met: 1) Every facet of the study process must be open to public scrutiny, 2) the study must be conducted by experts who are independent, impartial, and qualified, 3) these experts must be provided adequate time and resources to accomplish the study, 4) in conducting the study, these experts must be charged with placing the health, welfare and safety of the public above all other considerations, and 5) a peer review group that is independent of the VCEC and the VCCER and includes adequate representation from environmental, public health, water supply and water resource agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers5 must be established to monitor and critique the study. Recommendations: It is recommended that City Council adopt a resolution opposing uranium mining in Virginia, opposing the lifting of the moratorium on uranium mining, and opposing any attempt to develop a regulatory framework for uranium mining until it can be demonstrated to the City's satisfaction that there will be no significant release of radioactive sediments downstream. The City should not oppose a study of the impacts of uranium mining, as long as the criteria described above are followed. If the Commonwealth does undertake or commission a study, Virginia Beach should actively participate in the process with the goal of ensuring that the process is thorough, accurate, impartial, transparent, and protective of the interests of Virginia Beach, Southside Hampton Roads, and the Roanoke River Basin.

Background: With its adoption of the Comprehensive Plan on November 4, 1997, City Council recognized the need to improve the overall form and quality of the development within the Central Business District core area and transform undeveloped or underdeveloped land into an attractive, high quality, intensive, pedestrian designed, mixed-use town center. To facilitate development in this area, City Council established the Central Business District-South Tax Increment Financing District on November 23, 1999 to help fund the City's participation in an agreement with a private developer. On May 14, 2002 City Council established the Town Center Special Service District to promote development and commerce in the Town Center and to help fund the operation and maintenance costs of facilities and infrastructure in the project area. Today, a decade later, Council's vision has come to fruition. Development in the Town Center area continues. This has resulted in the need for improvements to enhance pedestrian safety. Presently, there is included in the Capital Improvement Program a pedestrian bridge to allow safe passage across Virginia Beach Boulevard. Funding for this pedestrian bridge is contingent upon the finalization of a public-private agreement. As a funding mechanism for construction and operating and maintenance costs, the City proposes establishment of a new tax increment financing district encompassing the Pembroke Mall Area, to be known as Central Business District-Northeast. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is authorized under Sections 58.1-3245 through 58.1- 3245.5 of the Virginia State Code. TIF is a method of financing the costs of public improvements in an area by putting any increase in real estate tax revenue reflecting increased assessed value for that area in a special fund. The increase in real estate tax assessments, known as a tax increment, is the value by which the current assessed value of real estate exceeds the base assessed value (Le., the value of property in the area before improvements were made). . Considerations: 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 northernmost 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 Boulevard, up to its intersection with Jeanne Street. A map of the TIF area is shown in "Exhibit A." . Public Information: Public notice on the proposed Central Business District- Northeast TIF has been published both the Sunday Beacon and Inside Business for three consecutive weeks prior to its public hearing. A meeting to inform and solicit comments from residents and business owners in the project area was held in Princess Anne High School on November 24, 2008. A public hearing was held on November 25, 2008 in City Council Chamber. . Alternatives: If the ordinance is not approved, there would be no specific funding source for the Town Center Pedestrian Bridge project and other improvements in the project area. . Recommendations: Approval of an Ordinance to establish the Central Business District-Northeast TIF. .

Jf) ~~~# ~ CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance to Adjust the Boundary of the Central Business District-South Tax Increment Financing District MEETING DATE: December 2, 2008 . Background: On November 23, 1999, City Council established the Central Business District-South Tax Increment Financing District to provide dedicated revenues to finance a higher level of infrastructure improvements in what has become the Town Center area. Development in this area has resulted in the need for additional infrastructure improvements in the surrounding areas, including a pedestrian bridge. To finance the improvements, City Council is proposing the establishment of a Central Business District-Northeast TIF. To ensure that the pedestrian bridge is within the boundaries of new CBD-Northeast TIF, the boundary of the CBD-South TIF must be adjusted. . Considerations: The northern boundary of the existing Central Business District-South TIF will be adjusted from the middle of Virginia Beach Boulevard, down to the zero lot line. A map showing the proposed change is shown as "Exhibit A." The change will not have any impact on the financing of this TIF. . Public Information: Public notice on the proposed boundary change for the Central Business District-South TIF has been published in both the Sunday Beacon and Inside Business for three consecutive weeks prior to its public hearing. A meeting to inform and solicit comments from residents and business owners in the project area was held in Princess Anne High School on November 24, 2008. A public hearing was held on November 25,2008 in City Council Chamber. . Alternatives: If the ordinance is not approved, the proposed pedestrian bridge project will not be within the boundary of the new Central Business District-Northeast TIF, and would have no identified funding source. .

Background: Started in 1991, Virginia Musical Theatre (VMT) is a 501 (c}(3) organization based in the City of Virginia Beach. VMT produced 62 separate shows at the Pavilion Theatre until it was demolished in 2005. Due to the demolition of the Pavilion Theatre, the Virginia Musical Theatre had to find a new home while the Sandler Center was under construction. During these two seasons (2005-2006 and 2006-2007), VMT presented their shows at the Contemporary Art Center's (CAG) theatre, which only seats 263. Since their potential seating capacity was reduced from 1,000 seats at the Pavilion Theatre to 263 seats at the CAC, VMT's earned income was dramatically decreased, thus creating a $75,000 roll-over deficit at the end of FY07. VMT was the single largest user of the Pavilion Theatre and the need to provide them, and the other local groups, a new home drove the development and construction of the Sandler Center. VMT's productions at the Sandler Center have been widely received by the community. During its first season at the Sandler Center, VMT played to over 19,000 theatergoers, averaging 72.4% capacity for each show. VMT is by far the Sandler Center's most prolific tenant. In its first season at the Sandler Center, VMT produced White Christmas, Miss Saigon, Titanic, and Smokey Joe's Cafe. Total expenses at the Sandler Center for the 2007-2008 season totaled $265,353. $70,773 is currently owed by VMT to the Sandler Center. VMT's operational and production costs are different from other Virginia Beach-based arts organizations. To mount Broadway-scale productions entail auditioning union actors from New York and providing airfare and housing for the cast and production team (30 approximately for every production); rental cars for local transportation; producing sets and scenery; and paying orchestra musicians, backstage crew and stage technicians. . Considerations: The Board of Directors has met numerous times over the past few months to review their financial situation. They have taken immediate steps to reduce FY09 expenses and the Board has increased their fundraising goal by 5% through additional sponsorships, annual giving campaign and three new fundraising events during the 2008-2009 season. Additional steps taken by VMT: - Reduced their budget for AIDA in October 2008 by $20,000 and will continue to reduce all upcoming production budgets by at least $20,000 to live within their means. - Renegotiating their actors' union contract for the flexibility to use more local actors in their productions, thus reducing costs. - Restructured their Board of Directors to provide more direct oversight of spending and finances. - Moved offices to utilize free rent. - Actively pursuing sponsorships and have implemented an annual giving fundraising campaign to donors and subscribers. In addition to these budget reductions and increased fundraising goals, there is an immediate need for funding to alleviate their debt and assist with cash flow. Due to the fact that VMT experienced financial hardships driven by the demolition of the Pavilion Theatre, compounded with the increased costs for producing larger-scale Broadway shows at the Sandler Center, the Board of Directors for VMT requested a loan from the City for $200,000. The City proposes to issue a Promissory Note to VMT in the amount of $200,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note, the loan must be repaid by June 30, 2018. In the event that the annual payments required pursuant to this Note are not current and paid in full by VMT to the City by the dates set forth in the Promissory Note, VMT shall pay five percent (5%) interest to the City on the balance due, calculated from the date the Note is executed by VMT. VMT agrees to pledge its personal property as collateral to secure the Promissory Note. VMT agrees that the City shall have a first priority lien on VMT's ticket sale revenue, profits, assets, personal property, and trade fixtures. .

WITNESS the following signature(s) and seal: VIRGINIA MUSICAL THEATRE, INC. By: ATTEST: 8 President Policy Re~ort . December 2, 2008 BACKGROUND . Virginia Musical Theatre (VMT) is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit local arts organization, based in Virginia Beach. . VMT employs two full-time employees and has a 12-member Board, chaired by Margaret Eure. (Board list is attached) . It is the State of Virginia's only arts organization solely dedicated to the production of musical theatre as a uniquely American art form. · It is Virginia Beach's only professional performing arts organization. . It operates under agreements with all unions governing theatrical productions. Started in 1991, Virginia Musical Theatre (VMT) produced 62 productions at the Pavilion Theatre which was demolished in 2005. Due to the demolition of the Pavilion Theatre, the Virginia Musical Theatre had to find a new home while the Sandler Center was under construction. During these two seasons (2005-2006 and 2006-2007), VMT presented their shows at the Contemporary Art Center's (CAC) theatre, which only seats 263. Since their potential seating capacity was reduced from 1,000 seats (at Pavilion Theatre) to 263 seats at the CAC, their earned income was dramatically decreased, thus creating a $75,000 roll-over deficit at the end of FY07. VMT was the single largest user of the Pavilion Theatre and the need to provide them, and the other local groups, a new home drove the development and construction of the Sandler Center. VMT's productions at the Sandler Center have been widely received by the community. During its first season at the Center, VMT played to over 19,000 theatergoers, averaging 72.4% capacity for each show. VMT is by far the Sandler Center's most prolific tenant. In its first season at the Sandler Center, VMT produced White Christmas, Miss Saigon, Titanic, and Smokey Joe's Cafe. Total expenses at the Sandler Center to date totaled $290,049. Of this amount, $98,988 is currently owed to the Sandler Center (including FY09 expenses). $76,371 was generated in admission taxes. $38,679 was generated in facility fees. These amounts provide a total of $306,111 in monies returned to the City. In addition, surveys show that of those who attend performances, 86% visit the area restaurants and bars either before or after the productions. Given last season's attendance and an average tab of $38 per person, the restaurant industry received in excess of $600,000 in revenue, generating over $65,000 in meal taxes (figures provided by VMT). Virginia Musical Theatre's operational and production costs are different from other Virginia Beach- based arts organizations. To mount Broadway-scale productions entail auditioning union actors from New York and providing airfare and housing for the cast and production team (approximately 30 for every production), rental cars for local transportation, producing sets and scenery, paying orchestra musicians, backstage crew and stage technicians. For the cultural growth of the City and the prosperity of the Sandler Center, it is important that the Virginia Musical Theatre continues as one of the City's leading arts groups. 1 The VMT 2008-2009 Season performances include: Elton John's AIDA: October 24 - 26,2008 (total attendance: 3,127) Debbie Reynolds: December 5 - 7, 2008 Ballroom: February 6 - 8, 2009 Always.. .Patsy Cline: March 20 - 22, 2009 West Side Story: May 1 - 3, 2009 CONSIDERATIONS Due to the fact that VMT experienced financial hardships driven by the demolition of the Pavilion Theatre, compounded with the increased costs for producing larger-scale Broadway shows at the Sandler Center than in previous seasons, the Board of Directors for Virginia Musical Theatre has requested a loan from the City for $200,000 to help alleviate the debt and provide adequate cash flow for this season. The Board of Directors has met numerous times over the past few months to review the financial situation. The Board has taken immediate steps to reduce FY09 expenses and has increased its fundraising goal by 5% through additional sponsorships, an annual giving campaign and has also instituted three new fundraising events during the 2008-2009 season. Despite these budget reductions and increased fundraising goals, there is an immediate need for funding to alleviate their current debt and assist with cash flow. Financial Overview: FY08 Deficit: $171,536 to vendors (including Sandler Center) FY09 Revenues: $1,243,125.00 (includes requested $200,000 loan from City) Expenses: $1,204,563.48 Net Surplus: $38,561.52 (if $200,000 loan is provided by City) Board of Directors Actions Taken: · Board of Directors' reduced FY09 expenses and increased fundraising goal. According to the most recent budget (with the proposed $200,000 loan), VMT expects to have a surplus of $38,561.52 at the end of FY09. · Board of Directors has projected increased fund raising by 5% through additional sponsorships, annual giving campaign and the following three fundraising events during the 2008-2009 Season: Red Carpet Gala at Town Center City Club: October 18, 2008 Net Revenue: $15,000. Debbie Reynolds in concert at the Sandler Center: December 5-7, 2008 Estimated Net Revenue: $69,000 Silent Auction: May 1-3, 2009 Estimated Net Revenue: $10,000 · Reduced their budget for AIDA in October 2008 by $20,000 and will continue to reduce all upcoming production budgets by at least $20,000 to live within their means. · VMT has renegotiated the actors' union contract to reduce the number of union actors it must hire for productions, in return reducing production costs. · Sandler Center staff have reviewed each line item with VMT and explored ways to reduce costs such as: 2 OFFICERS & BOARD MEMBERS OF VIRGINIA MUSICAL THEATRE MARGARET EURE president President/Margaret l.

Mayor and Members of City Council City of Virginia Beach 2401 Courthouse Dr. Virginia Beach, VA 23456 Dear Mayor and Members of City Council: The Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission would like to take the opportunity to write in support of the Virginia Musical Theatre. In existence since 1991, the Virginia Musical Theatre is Virginia Beach's only professional performing arts organization and the single largest user of the Sandler Center. The organization makes an invaluable contribution to the City as a cultural resource but as a revenue generator. Virginia Musical Theatre returned $66,413 in admission taxes to the City last year as well as the restaurant tax revenue generated by its patrons. For the cultural growth of the City and the prosperity of the Sandler Center, it is important that the Virginia Musical Theatre continues as one of the City's leading arts groups. Due to the fact that Virginia Musical Theatre experienced financial hardships driven by the demolition of the Pavilion Theatre, compounded with the increased costs for producing larger-scale Broadway shows at the Sandler Center than in previous seasons, the Commission encourages the City to work out a favorable resolution to their financial hardship.

Background: The Clerk of the Circuit Court receives funding for technology by assessing Court fees. The State Compensation Board requires the City to appropriate the funding for the Clerk's Office technology funds. The City is reimbursed from the State for purchases and/or ongoing system maintenance fees made for technology purposes. For FY 2008-09, the Clerk's Office has been approved for $430,314 in funding from the Technology Trust Fund. . Considerations: This appropriation will not require any matching funds from the City. The appropriation gives the Clerk's Office the ability to spend the funds with State revenue offsetting the appropriation. This funding will support their Case Management System, computer equipment and installation, annual software maintenance for the Case Management System, a software change order, scanner and annual software maintenance on the Land Records System. .

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funds from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security MEETING DATE: December 2,2008 . Background: The Citizen Corps Council (CCC) and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) programs were established in the summer of 2002 as part of the Homeland Security initiative. The local CCC is a committee supporting the CERT project, the Medical Reserve Corps and the Neighborhood Watch program. These projects utilize volunteers as their primary workforces and interact with various City departments. The CERT utilizes local volunteers to support community emergency preparedness efforts and provide basic emergency intervention. The use of CERT volunteers during Hurricane Isabel in September of 2003 was widely applauded as an effective extension of City services. CERT volunteers offer residents assistance to prepare for and deal with the effects of a disaster. The ongoing disasters created by Hurricane Katrina and Rita are visible examples of events that utilize extensive CERT resources. . Considerations: This grant is awarded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security via the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. This grant provides funding to continue the Virginia Beach CCC and CERT programs for a sixth year. The two focus areas of this grant in the sixth year of operation will be: 1. the maintenance of the CERT program, which includes training of an additional 100+ volunteers and maintaining the certification of the existing 500+ volunteers; and 2. continued development of the CCC including establishment of a Speaker's Bureau to keep the message of emergency preparedness alive in the public, and to raise awareness in the business community as well as develop partners and resources. .

Background: State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) is a federally funded program, under the direction of the U.S. Department of Justice/Homeland Security, that provides compensation to states and localities when a facility has held undocumented criminal aliens with at least one felony or two misdemeanor convictions, and who have been held for at least four consecutive days during the reporting period. The Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office applied for reimbursement for holding these inmates meeting the criteria, and has been notified the amount awarded is $48,427. . Considerations: When completing the process to accept the SCAAP award, the U.S. Department of Justice/Homeland Security requires the locality to identify how the funds will be spent. After the Sheriff's Office reviewed their list, it was determined to utilize the funds for the purchase of enhanced technology for inmate/offender management. .

JOYCE LEE CRUMBLE Relevant Information: · Beach District · The applicant is requesting a Subdivision Variance to allow use of an existing parcel for a single-family dwelling. · The parcel was created by deed in 1980, and is thus not a legal lot for the purposes of the Subdivision Ordinance. · The lot does not meet the required lot width for the R-7.5 Residential District. Thus, a Subdivision must be obtained before the lot can be recorded and built on. · AICUZ is Greater than 75 and APZ 2. Evaluation and Recommendation: · Planning Staff recommended approval · Planning Commission recommends approval (10-0) · There was no opposition · Consent Agenda II &E~;r~.~~ 1[1. +)'7.) (<..I '. >, \\.. jI L:<~.~~fI ~~ CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: JOYCE LEE CRUMBLE Subdivision Variance, south side of Hope Avenue at its intersection with Beach Town Road. BEACH DISTRICT MEETING DATE: December 2,2008 . Background: The subject lot is currently undeveloped. The applicant proposes to construct a single-family dwelling according to the regulations in the R-7.5 Residential Districts. The Development Services Center recently reviewed a Single-Family Site Plan for the lot. During the review, it was determined that the lot was not a legally created parcel. The parcel was first recorded in Deed Book 2088, Page 501 on February 2, 1981, being conveyed to Marcos Chapunoff by deed from the Commonwealth of Virginia on December 5, 1980. Prior to the Commonwealth of Virginia obtaining the property, the owner was unknown. The City of Virginia Beach Subdivision Ordinance was adopted on June 22,1970. Before that date, a subdivision by deed was permitted within the old Town of Virginia Beach limits (the old Beach Borough). When the State obtained the property and sold it to Mr. Capunoff, the lot should have been reviewed and recorded by plat under the provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance. Thus, the lot is not a legally recorded lot and a subdivision variance is necessary as the lot does not meet required lot width for the R-7.5 Residential District. . Considerations: The existing lot has an area of approximately 13,205 square feet and a lot width of 53.92 feet. The lot requires a subdivision variance to lot width, as 75 feet of lot width is required in the R-7.5 Residential District. Evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials, does provide evidence of a hardship justifying the granting of a variance to the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. The Commonwealth of Virginia sold this property to Marcos Chapunoff, and the property was not properly recorded according to the requirements of the City of Virginia Beach Subdivision Ordinance. The insufficient lot width is the result of past actions of which the applicant and current owner of the lot had no control. The request for the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected, as the site has existed since 1980 without issue. The request is not general or recurring in nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of general regulation to JOYCE LEE CRUMBLE Page 2 of 2 be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of the subdivision request to lot width with the following condition. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because evidence of a hardship is demonstrated, the proposal will not adversely affect the surrounding area, 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 condition: The property shall be configured substantially as shown on the submitted plat entitled "Preliminary Subdivision of Property of Joyce Lee Crumble", dated April 4, 2008 by Gallup Surveyors & Engineers, LTD. Said Plat has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Virginia Beach Planning Department. .

ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located on the cul-de-sac at the end of Hope Avenue GPIN: 24175414920000 COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: BEACH SITE SIZE: 13,205 square feet SUMMARY OF REQUEST The proposed lot, zoned R-7.5 Residential, was recently reviewed by the Development Services Center as a Single-Family Site Plan. During the review, it was determined that the lot was not a legally created parcel. The parcel was first recorded in Deed Book 2088, Page 501 on February 2, 1981, as being the same property conveyed to Marcos Chapunoff by deed from the Commonwealth of Virginia on December 5, 1980. Prior to the Commonwealth of Virginia obtaining the property, the owner was unknown. The City of Virginia Beach Subdivision Ordinance was adopted on June 22, 1970. Before that date, a subdivision by deed was permitted within the old Town of Virginia Beach limits (the old Beach Borough). When the State obtained the property and sold it to Mr. Capunoff, the lot should have been reviewed and recorded by plat under the provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance. Thus, the lot is not a legally recorded lot and a subdivision variance is necessary as the lot does not meet required lot width for the R-7.5 Residential District. Existing Lot: The existing lot is approximately 13,205 square feet of area and has a lot width of 53.92 feet. The lot requires a subdivision variance to lot width, as 75 feet of lot width is required in the R-7.5 Residential District. The lot is currently undeveloped. The applicant proposes to construct a single-family dwelling according to the regulations in the R-7.5 Residential Districts.

Norfolk Avenue South: East: West: · Undeveloped property / R-7.5 Residential District · Single-family dwellings / R-7.5 Residential District NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES: There are no known significant environmental or cultural features on the site. AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of Greater than 75 dB Ldn and Accident Potential Zone 2 (APZ 2) surrounding NAS Oceana. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES WATER & SEWER: The site will be required to' connect to City water and sewer. Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states: No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that: A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship. B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected. C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance. D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions and topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by JOYCE LEE CRUMBLE Agenda Item 13 Page 2 I I II the use or development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self- inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance. E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is located at the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this request. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Map identifies this site as being within the Resort Area. It is the City's policy to continue making progress toward revitalizing resort residential areas and support land uses and physical improvements that reinforce neighborhood quality, stability and character. Evaluation: Staff's evaluation of this request reveals the proposal, through the submitted materials, does provide evidence of a hardship justifying the granting of a variance to the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. The Commonwealth of Virginia sold this property to Marcos Chapunoff, and the property was not properly recorded according to the requirements of the City of Virginia Beach Subdivision Ordinance. The lot does not meet the required lot width of 75 feet for the R-7.5 Residential District and therefore requires a subdivision variance. The problem is the result of past actions of which the applicant and current owner of the lot had no control. The request for the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected, as the site has existed since 1980. The request is not general or recurring in nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of general regulation to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of the subdivision request to lot width with the following condition. CONDITIONS The property shall be configured substantially as shown on the submitted plat entitled "Preliminary Subdivision of Property of Joyce Lee Crumble", dated April 4, 2008 by Gallup Surveyors & Engineers. LTD. Said Plat has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Virginia Beach Planning 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.

Conditional Use Permit, motor vehicle sales, rental and service, 5073 Virginia Beach Boulevard. KEMPSVILLE DISTRICT MEETING DATE: December 2,2008 . Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow redevelopment of the site for a 6,500 square foot, two-story building to operate a motor vehicles sales and rental business. The site currently consists of a parking lot and deteriorating building of a former business. The site plan shows a two-story building with a 3,250 square foot footprint proposed at the southeast corner of the site. The first floor showroom and the second floor offices make up the proposed 6,500 square foot building. Twenty parking spaces are proposed within the new parking lot. There is an existing entrance along Virginia Beach Boulevard that will remain for ingress-egress. In addition, there are two (2) existing entrance points on Jersey Avenue that the site plan depicts as remaining open. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being within the West Pembroke Area of Strategic Growth Area 4. The land use policies of this area recognize that "many of these properties have greater, long-term potential to be transformed from a land use pattern that is predominantly low intensity commercial and industrial to one that achieves a compatible mix of urban land uses and higher economic investment potential than exists today. Proposed uses within the West Pembroke Area should include a vertical mix of mid to high-rise residential uses and a variety of compatible, higher value non-residential uses including office, retail, publicly accessible, urban open space, entertainment, educational, institutional and other similar urban activities." . Considerations: This request is an upgrade to a vacant lot that has fallen in to disrepair for some time. The deteriorating building on the site is slated for removal and will be replaced with a building of quality, contemporary design. The unique shape of the lot requires the single building, with both the sales and service facilities, to be approximately 55 feet from Virginia Beach Boulevard and over 80 feet from the actual edge of pavement. There is sufficient parking to meet the ordinance 5073 VIRGINIA BEACH BOULEVARD, L.L.C. Page 2 of 3 requirements for the proposed uses. Staff believes the proposal will not negatively impact surrounding properties, and, therefore, recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below. The proposed building elevation depicts a two-story building with gray exterior insulation finishing system (EIFS) as the prominent exterior material. Corrugated steel architectural accents and red EIFS accents add to the architectural interest of the design. The front elevation is proposed with one (1) entrance leading directly into the showroom. Both the front and west faGades consist of a predominance of glass to provide light and visibility into the showroom. A red fabric awning, matching the red EIFS accent, is proposed above the service door. The sales and repair facility is compatible with the surrounding uses and current character of this area, which includes other auto related business, warehouse uses, and recreational vehicle sales. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the proposal will redevelop a distressed property located on the city's main thoroughfare, the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, 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. Right-of-way improvements along Jersey Avenue shall be constructed as deemed necessary by the Department of Public Works and the Department of Planning and shall include, but are not limited to, pavement widening, curb and gutter, drainage, and street lighting. 2. Where streetscape landscaping does not exist along Virginia Beach Boulevard, it shall be installed along northern edge of the proposed parking lot, as described in the Landscaping Guide, City of Virginia Beach, December 2002. The existing and proposed streetscape landscaping shall be depicted on the final site plan. 3. When the property is developed it shall be in substantial conformance with the plan entitled, "Conceptual Site Plan of Lots 7 & 8, Block 26, Parcel- A, Euclid Place," prepared by WPL, dated 08/29/08 which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 4. The building on the property shall be constructed in substantial conformance with the elevation entitled, "Proposed Building, 5073 " I II 5073 VIRGINIA BEACH BOULEVARD, L.L.C. Page 3 of 3 Virginia Beach Boulevard," dated 08/28/08, prepared by Daugherty & Associates Architecture" which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 5. There shall be no storage of tires, merchandise, or debris of any kind outside of the building. 6. There shall be no outside audio speakers for any purpose. 7. All vehicle repairs shall take place inside the building. 8. No outside storage of vehicles in a state of obvious disrepair shall be permitted. If vehicles in this condition require storage, then such vehicles shall be stored within the building. 9. Vehicles for sale shall be located within the area designated for display within the paved parking lot. No vehicles shall be displayed on raised platforms, earthen berms, or any other structure designed to display a vehicle higher than the elevation of the main parking lot. .

All of the nine conditions recommended in the staff evaluation are acceptable to my client and appreciate being placed on the consent agenda at this time. Joseph Strange: Thank you Eddie. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? The Chair has asked Henry Livas to review this item. Henry Livas: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for development of the site for a 6,500 square foot, two-story building to operate a motor vehicle sales and rental business. The first floor showroom and the second floor office make up the proposed 6,500 square foot building. The proposed building elevation depicts a two-story building with gray exterior insulation finishing system (EIFS) as the prominent exterior material. The sales and repair facility is compatible with the surrounding uses and current character of this area, which includes numerous other auto related businesses. The deteriorating building on the site is slated for removal and will be replaced with a building of quality, contemporary design. There is sufficient parking to meet the requirements of the proposed uses. Therefore, we recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit and placed it on the consent agenda.

KEMPSVILLE DISTRICT MEETING DATE: December 2,2008 . Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 132 foot high, stealth style (flagpole) communications tower within the rear parking lot of an existing shopping center. The antennas for up to three (3) carriers will be concealed within the flagpole. The ground equipment is proposed within a 20 foot by 40 foot fenced area behind the retail shops. . Considerations: The antennas for up to three (3) carriers will be concealed within the flagpole. It was the desire of the major tenant on the property that the tower be constructed for use as a flagpole. Staff was initially hesitant as a flag flying in the wind could possibly be disruptive to surrounding properties. The applicant was diligent in contacting property owners, and, as required by the Zoning Ordinance held a balloon test and conducted a public meeting at a nearby middle school. Over 60 residents and surrounding property owners were individually notified via mail; however, no opposition was expressed at either meeting. In addition, an FAA study was submitted indicating that the proposed tower will not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a hazard to air navigation. The primary objective for this tower is to improve service within business buildings and residential buildings and to increase network capacity in an area generally surrounding the Ferrell Parkway and Indian River Road intersection. There are no other communication towers within the applicant's search ring. The applicant is requesting as part of this Conditional Use Permit a modification to the screening and landscaping requirement, as the tower will be installed in an area that is currently pavement. Approximately four (4) parking spaces will be eliminated by locating the tower at the proposed location. There are sufficient parking spaces remaining, well in excess of what is required by Zoning Ordinance. In addition, a variance to the 50 foot setback is also requested as the tower's base will be approximately 43 feet from the property line, adjacent to the apartment buildings to the west. Both variance requests are acceptable, as the existing landscaping along the western property line serves as a good screen RICHMOND 20 MHZ, LLC D/B/A NTELOS Page 2 of 3 and will render the tower's base and equipment virtually unnoticeable by the adjacent apartment dwellers. Staff does recommend a condition that a minimum six (6) foot solid, privacy fence, without barbed wire, be installed surrounding the 800 square foot lease area. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the proposal meets the standards of the Zoning Ordinance for communications towers 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 communication tower shall be constructed as a stealth tower with internal antennas as substantially as shown on the site plans entitled, "Telecommunications Facility, Carriage Mill (NR-5433), 4221 Pleasant Valley Road," prepared by JMT, dated 06/22/08. This site plan has been exhibited to City Council and is on file with the Department of Planning. 2. The tower shall not exceed 132 feet in height (AGL). 3. As provided by Section 221 (i) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the setback requirement and the landscaping and screening requirements for the tower are modified to the minimum setback of 40 feet and screening shown on the plans referenced in Condition 1 above. 4. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities results from the use of this tower and antennas, the user(s) shall take all measures reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time, the user shall immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference. 5. As required by Section 232(i)(4) of the City Zoning Ordinance, should the antennas cease to be used for a period of more than one (1 ) year, the applicant shall remove the tower, antennas and related equipment from the property. 6. No signs indicating the location of this facility are allowed. 7. The lease area, as depicted on the survey entitled, "Telecommunications Facility, Carriage Mill (NR-5433), 4221 Pleasant Valley Road," prepared by JMT, dated 06/22/08, shall be surrounded by a solid fence, including the gate, with a minimum height of six (6) feet. Chain link or barbed wire II RICHMOND 20 MHZ, LLC D/B/A NTELOS Page 3 of 3 shall not be permitted. 8. A structural report stating that this design can indeed accommodate up to three (3) wireless carriers shall be submitted for review during the final site plan review process.

DBA NTELOS Agenda Item 6 November 12,2008 Public Hearing Staff Planner: Carolyn AK Smith REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit for communication tower ADDRESS I DESCRIPTION: Property located at 4221 Pleasant Valley Road GPIN: 14750477110000 COUNCIL ELECTION DISTRICT: CENTERVILLE SITE SIZE: 9.8 acres / 800 square feet of lease area SUMMARY OF REQUEST The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 132 foot high, stealth, flagpole communications tower within the rear parking lot of an existing shopping center. The antennas for up to three (3) carriers will be concealed within the flagpole. The ground equipment is proposed within a 20 foot by 40 foot fenced area behind the retail shops. LAND USE AND ZONING INFORMATION . Bridle Creek Boulevard, apartments / A-12 Apartment District . Lynnhaven Parkway, townhouses / A-12 Apartment District . Pleasant Valley Road, single-family dwellings / R-5D Residential District . Apartments / A-12 Apartment District EXISTING LAND USE: Shopping center SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING: North: South: East: West: NATURAL RESOURCE AND CULTURAL FEATURES: This site is within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. There are no significant environmental or cultural features on the site as it is developed as a shopping center and is almost entirely impervious RICHMOND 20 MHZ / NTELOS Agenda Item 6 Page 1 II AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of less than 65 dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Comprehensive Plan: The land use planning policies and principles established 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 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. Evaluation: The Conditional Use Permit to construct a 132-foot high, stealth, flagpole communications tower within the parking lot of an existing shopping center is recommended for approval. The antennas for up to three (3) carriers will be concealed within the flagpole. It was the desire of the major tenant on the property that the tower be constructed for use as a flagpole. Staff was initially hesitant as a flag flying in the wind could possibly be disruptive to surrounding properties. The applicant was diligent in contacting property owners and, as required by the Zoning Ordinance, held a balloon test and conducted a public meeting at a nearby middle school. Over 60 residents and surrounding property owners were individually notified via mail; however, no opposition was expressed at either meeting. In addition, an FAA study was submitted indicating that the proposed tower will not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a hazard to air navigation. The primary objective of siting this tower is to improve in-building service to business and residential buildings and to increase network capacity in an area generally surrounding the Ferrell Parkway and Indian River Road intersection. There are no other communication towers within the applicant's search ring. The applicant is requesting as part of this Conditional Use Permit a modification to the screening and landscaping requirement as the tower will be installed in an area that is currently pavement. Approximately, four (4) parking spaces will be eliminated by locating the tower at the proposed location. There are significant parking spaces remaining, well in excess of what is required by Zoning Ordinance. In addition, a variance to the 50 foot setback is also requested as the tower's base will be approximately 43 feet from the property line, adjacent to the apartment buildings to the west. Both variance requests are acceptable to Staff, as the existing landscaping along the western property line serves as a good screen and will render the tower's base and equipment virtually unnoticeable by the adjacent apartment dwellers. Staff does recommend a condition that a minimum six (6) foot solid, privacy fence, without barbed wire, be installed surrounding the 800 square foot lease area. RICHMOND 20 MHZ I NTELOS Agenda Item 6 Page 2 Information provided by the applicant indicates that the tower is almost 2 miles away from the nearest 200 foot wide buffer of a microwave path for an existing public safety communications site and is over 3 miles from the City's nearest emergency communication tower, both of which meet and surpass City standards. A non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (NIER) analysis and an RF Emissions Compliance Report were also submitted indicating that emissions do not exceed minimum ground level exposure at any point outside the facility and are within compliance with all regulatory agencies and standards. In addition, a structural report stating that this design can indeed accommodate up to three (3) wireless carriers was also submitted and accepted by City staff. Based on the discussion above, Staff recommends approval of the request, subject to the conditions below. CONDITIONS 1. The communication tower shall be constructed as a stealth tower with internal antennas as substantially as shown on the site plans entitled, "Telecommunications Facility, Carriage Mill (NR- 5433),4221 Pleasant Valley Road," prepared by JMT, dated 06/22/08. This site plan has been exhibited to City Council and is on file with the Department of Planning. 2. The tower shall not exceed 132 feet in height (AGL). 3. As provided by Section 221 (i) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the setback requirement and the landscaping and screening requirements for the tower are modified to the minimum setback of 40 feet and screening shown on the plans referenced in Condition 1 above. 4. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities results from the use of this tower and antennas, the user(s) shall take all measures reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the interference cannot be eliminated within a reasonable time, the user shall immediately cease operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference. 5. As required by Section 232(i)(4) of the City Zoning Ordinance, should the antennas cease to be used for a period of more than one (1) year, the applicant shall remove the tower, antennas and related equipment from the property. 6. No signs indicating the location of this faCility are allowed. 7. The lease area, as depicted on the survey entitled, "Telecommunications Facility, Carriage Mill (NR- 5433),4221 Pleasant Valley Road," prepared by JMT, dated 06/22/08, shall be surrounded by a solid fence, including the gate, with a minimum height of six (6) feet. Chain link or barbed wire shall not be permitted. 8.

An application of Richmond 20 MHz, L.L.c., d/b/a Nte10s for a Conditional Use Permit for a communication tower on property at 4221 Pleasant Valley Road, District 2, centerville, with eight conditions. Glenn Hampton: Good afternoon. My name is Glenn Hampton. My business address is 501 Independence Parkway, Chesapeake. I'm here as an agent representing Nte10s. We have reviewed the staff report, and all the conditions are acceptable to them. Joseph Strange: Okay. Thank you. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? The Chairman has asked Phil Russo to review this item. Philip Russo: This is applicant for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 132 foot high, stealth, flagpole communications tower at the rear of a parking lot in an existing shopping center on 4221 Pleasant Valley Road. The antenna will carry three (3) carriers and the antenna will be concealed within the flagpole. The primary objective of siting of this tower in the area is to improve the in-building services to business and residential buildings and to increase the network capacity in an area generally surrounding the Ferrell Parkway and Indian River Road intersections. There are no other communication towers within the applicant's search ring. Approximately four (4) parking spaces of the parking lot will be eliminated, however, there are significant parking spaces remaining, well in excess of what is required by the Zoning Ordinance. Based on the staff recommendation and approval of the request, the Commission recommended that this be placed on the consent agenda. Joseph Strange: Thank you Phil. Madam Chairman, I make a motion to approve agenda item 6. Janice Anderson: I have a motion by Joe Strange and a second by Gene Crabtree.

The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the additional parking will reduce the potential for negative impacts on the surrounding area from overflow parking and there was no opposition to the proposal. .

All conditions with the exception of Number 1 attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted by the City Council on October 14, 2003 remain in affect. 2.

Background: The Conditional Use Permit allowing motor vehicle sales and service was approved by the City Council on July 13, 1999 and was modified by the City Council on August 14, 2001. Condition 4 of the Use Permit requires the building addition be designed to match the existing building in regard to both colors and materials. Condition 5 requires the freestanding sign to adhere to the sign plan prepared by a specific sign company and designer. The applicant is opening a new motor vehicle franchise, and is requesting a modification to Conditions 4 and 5 because the building exterior and signage for the new franchise are different than what was previously approved. . Considerations: The applicant has obtained a new automobile franchise, Suzuki. This request to modify the Use Permit will allow building additions and refurbishing and painting of the exterior of building which will result in a more attractive building than currently exists on site. The proposed additions for a showroom and expanded parts / service area will be located over existing impervious area, thus not increasing the impervious area on the site. Based upon the City Zoning Ordinance, sufficient parking is provided to accommodate the new facility. The applicant will close the two vehicular entrances closest to the intersection of Virginia Beach Boulevard and Kellam Road (one on Virginia Beach Boulevard and one on Kellam Road). Additionally during staff's visit to the site it was noted that Condition 2 of the original use permit has not been met: Two Crape Myrtles, five to six feet in height, shall be added to the landscape bed at the Northwest corner of the site adjacent to the intersection of Virginia Beach Boulevard and Kellam Road. Staff is requiring additional landscaping along the rights-of-ways as part of this modification request. JOYNT ENTERPRISES, INC. T/A PEMBROKE SUZUKI Page 2 of 3 Overall, the proposed changes enhance the appearance and function of the site, and are consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for this area. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the proposal will enhance the appearance and function of the site 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. All conditions with the exception of Number 4 and Number 5 attached to the modified Conditional Use Permit granted by the City Council on August 14, 2001 remain in affect. 2. Condition Number 4 and Number 5 of the August 14, 2001 Conditional Use Permit are deleted and replaced with the following: 4.

Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Planning Department. 5. The proposed building modifications shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the submitted elevations. Said elevations have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia Beach Planning Department. 6. Any existing or new freestanding signs shall not exceed a height of 15 feet and 75 square feet per face. 7. The parking lot shall be striped in accordance with the approved plan. Vehicles shall be parked in the designated areas, and no vehicles shall be parked within any portion of the public right-of-way. Vehicles shall not be displayed on raised platforms. 8. The applicant shall provide to the Planning Department / Current Planning a plan for landscaping along the right-of-ways for review and approval. 9.

AICUZ: The site is in an AICUZ of less than 65 dB Ldn surrounding NAS Oceana. JOYNT ENTERPRISES, INC. TIA PEMBROKE SUZUKI Agenda Item 4 Page 2 IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Virginia Beach Boulevard in front of this application is an eight-lane divided major urban arterial. The Master Transportation Plan (MTP) proposes a divided facility within an existing 150-foot right-of-way section. Kellam Road next to this application is a two-lane undivided collector. This roadway is not in the Master Transportation Plan. No Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects are slated to impact the roadways surrounding this property. TRAFFIC: Street Name Present Present Capacity Generated Traffic Volume Virginia Beach 40,288 ADT ' 56,240 ADT ' Existing Land Use ~ - Boulevard 183 ADT Proposed Land Use 3 - 243 ADT Kellam Road 3,719 ADT ' 9,900 ADT 11 AM Peak Hour Vehicles (entering) 8 PM Peak Hour Vehicles (entering) Average Dally Tnps 2 as defined by 5,487 square feet of car sales 3 as defined by 7,300 square feet of car sales PUBLIC WORKS I TRAFFIC ENGINEERING: (1) Physically remove the two access points nearest the intersection. This department realizes that both of these entrances are currently gated off; however, these gates can be removed at any time for full functional use. To keep this from happening, the entrances must be completely removed. (2) The remaining two access points must be in accordance with the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Specification and Standards for dimensions and entrance type. It must be noted that the revised entrance dimensions will inherently give the applicant additional parking spaces, which appears to be needed for inventory vehicles. (3) Provide a 30-foot entrance throat length on the remaining two access points, measured from the right-of-way line to the first internal aisle way or parking space. Since both roadways are at their ultimate right-of-way width, the measurement may be taken from the edge of roadway. This modification, however, may require the remaining entrance on Kellam Road to be shifted further south to be away from the building and in line with a drive aisle. WATER and SEWER: The site is connected to City water and sewer. SCHOOLS: Schools populations are not affected by this request. JOYNT ENTERPRISES, INC. TIA PEMBROKE SUZUKI Agenda Item 4 Page 3 I i I; II EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this requested modification, as conditioned below. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan map identifies this site as being within Strategic Growth Area #4 (SGA#4), West Pembroke Sub-area. The West Pembroke Sub-area of the larger SGA #4 area comprises a mixture of older single story commercial and industrial-related businesses with outdoors storage, limited parking, and few sidewalks. Land use recommendations for this sub-area include a vertical mix of mid to high-rise residential uses, a variety of compatible higher value non-residential uses such as office, retail, open space, entertainment, educational and similar urban activities. The long-term land use pattern recommended for the West Pembroke Sub-area is one that transforms the current low-intensity land uses to one of a significantly higher intensity of compatible mixed urban land uses and greater economic investment potential. Evaluation: The applicant has obtained a new automobile franchise, Suzuki. This request is to allow building additions and refurbishing and painting of the exterior of building which will result in a more attractive building than currently exists on site. The proposed additions for a showroom and expanded parts / service area will be located over existing impervious area, thus not increasing the impervious area on the site. Based upon the City Zoning Ordinance, sufficient parking is provided to accommodate the new facility. During review of the proposal, Staff has looked at options to enhance traffic flow into and out of site. The applicant proposes to slightly increase building size and ultimately increase average daily trips to the site. Consistent with Traffic Engineering comments, the applicant will close the two entrances closest to the intersection of Virginia Beach Boulevard and Kellam Road (one on Virginia Beach Boulevard and one on Kellam Road). Additionally during staffs visit to the site it was noted that Condition 2 of the original use permit has not been met: Two Crape Myrtles, five to six feet in height, shall be added to the landscape bed at the Northwest corner of the site adjacent to the intersection of Virginia Beach Boulevard and Kellam Road. Staff will require additional landscaping along the rights-of-ways as part of this modification request. This request to modify the existing sign to accommodate the proposed use is in keeping with the intent of the original City Council approval. Staff notes that while the applicant is entitled to a freestanding sign not to exceed a height of 15 feet and 75 square feet per face (per a past court decision), the submitted site plan depicts a proposed 12-foot sign on the site. Staff will further discuss the sign issues with the applicant during detailed plan review. Overall, the proposed changes enhance the appearance and function of the site. Staff, therefore recommends approval of this application subject to the following conditions. JOYNT ENTERPRISES, INC. T/A PEMBROKE SUZUKI Agenda Item 4 Page 4 CONDITIONS 1. All conditions with the exception of Number 4 and Number 5 attached to the modified Conditional Use Permit granted by the City Council on August 14, 2001 remain in affect. 2.

Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Planning Department. 5. The proposed building modifications shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the submitted elevations. Said elevations have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia Beach Planning Department. 6.

The property is located at 798 Lynnhaven Parkway, District 6, Beach, with seven conditions. Eddie Bourdon: Thank you again. For the record I'm Eddie Bourdon representing the applicant. We agree with all seven conditions on this proposed redevelopment. We appreciate being on the consent agenda and appreciate the recognition of what Mr. Reed has done on some of the other sites that he has redeveloped and developed in the city. Joseph Strange: Thank you Eddie. Is there any opposition tot his matter being placed on the consent agenda? Ifnot, the Chair has asked Dave Redmond to review this item. David Redmond: Thank you Mr. Strange. The Conditional Use Permit permitting a service station at this location was originally approved by the City Council on July 12, 1982. The applicant is requesting a modification to the Conditional Use Permit because he desires to renovate the site and wnstruct a convenience store. The original request for the Conditional Use permit did not include a convenience store nor was a convenience depicted on the site plan submitted with the original request; therefore, the Conditional Use Permit must be modified. The submitted preliminary site plan depicts a 24-foot by 100-foot (24' x 100') canopy with four fueling stations, a 30-foot by 80-foot (30' x 80') convenience store, 12 parking spaces, and required landscaping.

MEETING DATE: December 2,2008 . Background: In December 2005, the City Council adopted an Oceanfront Resort Area Plan, Resort Area Design Guidelines, and a number of related documents to the City Zoning Ordinance.

From this work, a preferred vision for the Resort Area has been developed. The Resort Area Strategic Action Plan was presented to the public for review and comment on June 2, 2008. Suggestions from the public at that meeting were incorporated into the vision, and it was presented to the Planning Commission on September 10 and to the City Council on October 14. Due to the size of the document, copies of the plan are provided to the City Council under separate cover.

It an Ordinance to Adopt the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan as an Appendix to the Comprehensive Plan. Is there any opposition to this matte being placed on the consent agenda? If not, the Chair has asked Jack Whitney ifhe would review this item. Jack Whitney: Thank you Mr. Strange. This is the first in a series of plans that are being prepared for what we call our "Strategic Growth Areas" incorporated in the Comprehensive Plan. This particular plan has undergone a tremendous amount of public involvement for almost a year now. There have been design and planning charettes heavily attended by members ofthe public. It has been reviewed by just about every civic organization in that part of the City. It is also been briefed both to this Commission and the City Council. Again, we have received public comment which has been incorporated in to the plan. We ask your indulgence to consider approving this by consent. It will then become official city policy once it is acted upon by the City Council, and we would intend to then incorporate it into our Comprehensive Plan. Joseph Strange: Thank you Jack. Janice Anderson: It appears that we do have one person that would like to make a comment. Donald Horsley: We have one speaker. Henry Ryto. I don't know whether it is support or opposition? Are you in opposition? Henry Ryto: I just have some concerns to express about this plan at this point. I just wanted to for public record. Janice Anderson: Go ahead sir. Henry Ryto: Okay. My name is Henry Ryto. I served as a member of the Resort Advisory Commission since February 2004. Given that post, I had a front row seat for a bunch of what has been going on in the drafting of this plan. Yes. The Resort Area Strategic Action Plan is great in concept but for the laws that accomplish much for a resort area, achieve many of the city's goals without redevelopment authority. Part of what concerns me is a couple of the amendment changes have been made to the plan and how they happened. One of them earlier for inclusion for hotel redevelopment in the northern part of the beach area was later removed. If we're going to draw the type of conventions that the City has envisioned and the visitors, we're not going to do with our current hotel projects. That was at one point and was and one of the options where a plan that was later removed. Second there was an attempt to Item #15 City of Virginia Beach Page 2 redo Rudee Loop during the summer. There was a proposal to remove the hotel project there and put in an entertainment complex instead and that died on its own. And finally, there is the question about Ocean Center, which was slipped into the plan after all the public comment and the Charettes were over. Even as RAe commissioner, I found out about Ocean Center through the Virginian Pilot. I had no idea that was being put in. What I would like to is and especially since it is an ACUIZ 1, I would like to see the Navy sign off on this thing before we adopt this as formal City policy. I've talked with the Planning staff about this, but I would like to see specifically sign off on the Ocean Center because I wouldn't want to lose Ocean a over a resort area project. During the second Charette, I had raised the issue of potentially putting workforce housing for the resort workforce in the Colony property. I was told by Planning Department staff that at this time that at that time that it couldn't be done because of the BRAe ordinance. Now later, Ocean Center has been put in there with housing and condos, and the staff says it's okay. Now, one ofthe two times city staff had to be wrong. Speaking for my own personal concerns here this afternoon, my BRAe service has been a representative of this Council Civic Organizations, Virginia Beach Civic League Federation. The CCO meets on the second Wednesday and we are scheduled to meet tonight with a resolution pending which would cover many of these concerns. Once again, while this plan is good in concept, there have been a couple of changes in it which I just wonder whether or not we can still achieve our goals with them in there. And, I just wanted to have my peace before this entire thing passes through. Janice Anderson: Thank you sir. Mr. Whitney, if you would just like to respond to that? This is a plan for a vision for future development. It doesn't really require us to stay to a hard development or anything like that. It is just a vision. Jack Whitney: Yes ma'am. That is correct. It is a vision and a plan. There will be action items to come to implement any public or private development that accommodates it. The particular issue of hotels has been adequately, I believe addressed in the plan. Certainly the potential for a headquarters hotel that the Convention Center was recognized and worked into the plan. The development that the speaker was mentioning is in fact, private development. It's very conceptual. There have been no plans submitted which would be endorsed under your approval of the Resort Strategic Action Plan. There is a mobile home part, which you are all aware of on 17th Street. We have had numerous discussions with the property owners involved. The project is in the very formative stage at this point. Nothing has been submitted, which this plan would endorse. The plan does speak to the mixed-use development in that part of the Resort Area as being desirable. Obviously, we've worked very close with the Navy with respect to the impact under any AICUZ related districts, noise or accident potential zones. Anything that would be approved in a way of a private development would have to, of course, go through that review process with the Navy as a full partner. Janice Anderson: Thank you very much.

Bill Macali: Madame Chair, this item was requested by Counci1member DeSteph in an effort to get some certainty as to what type of signs can be posted for a civic meeting and events. It essentially allows one sign not exceeding 32 square feet to be placed for a period of 14 days prior to the event and three days after the event on each piece of property owned by the civic league or property association. It gives them some type of certainty to what can be posted and we feel that it does accomplish that. Joseph Strange: Okay. Thank you Bill. Madam Chairman, I make a motion to approve agenda item 14.

MEETING DATE: December 2,2008 . Background: The unique qualities of Town Center area as a mixed-use district have resulted in a parking situation where experience has indicated that the degree of parking being shared within the area is such that the parking being required by the existing Zoning Ordinance provisions is resulting in more parking than is needed. This is primarily due to the fact that there a variety of uses within the same compact area that utilize parking at various times of the day, providing opportunities to share parking spaces between different land uses. . Considerations: This amendment will allow the Planning Director to more accurately determine the required parking for uses within the B-3A zoning district through a parking analysis provided by a developer of property within the Town Center rather than the specific numerical requirements dictated by the Zoning Ordinance. Such an analysis will provide an accurate depiction of parking arrangements within the Town Center area and ensure that there is adequate parking to be shared among the various uses. The Planning Commission placed this item on the consent agenda because the amendment provides for the highest and most efficient use of parking spaces in the Town Center and there was no opposition to the proposal. . Recommendations: The Planning Commission passed a motion by a vote of 10-0 to recommend approval of the amendment to the City Council. .

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT This amendment will allow the Planning Director to more accurately determine the required parking for the B-3A zoning district through the use of a parking analysis rather than specific numerical requirements. This is needed because of the unique qualities of this mixed use development, where experience has indicated that the degree of parking being shared within the area is such that the parking being required by the existing ordinance provisions is resulting in more parking than is needed.

It's an Ordinance to amend Section 203 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to parking requirements in the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core District. Is there any opposition to this matter being placed on the consent agenda? The Chairman has asked Jack Whitney ifhe would review this item. Jack Whitney: This is an ordinance which would allow for a more detailed, thorough, and customized review of parking requirements in a certain part of the city, that being the Town Center area. It would require that new development prepare, at their expense, a parking study which would support the staff in determining the necessary parking requirements for that particular project. As opposed to the current system where it simply applies a general standard or "one size fits all" parking requirement, irrespective of the nature of the use and when it actually functions on the ground. We feel this would be a much more efficient use ofthe land area and parking in this part of the city, much more so than our previous parking requirements. And we would recommend the ordinance favorable for recommendation. Joseph Strange: Thank you very much Jack. Madam Chairman, I make a motion to approve . agenda item 16.

This item was deferred by the Planning Commission at the request of staff on August 13, 2008, to provide time for the Commission to receive a briefing on the recommendations of the Green Ribbon Committee Implementation Report. The item was deferred again on October 8, 2008. 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 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, i.e., "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. ... .... .", . . .. " . ." CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH I STREET WIDTHS . - .... Agenda Itern.22 . R~Q~1 During the 1970s and 1980s, many subdivisions with small lots were created. Some of these subdivisions used the R-8 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 townhouse 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 first 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 family residential units. On September 6, 1988, City Council approved the first of two changes to the Subdivision Regulations to further address 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 30-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 and a 30-foot paved section. Section 4.1(m) 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-foot right-of-way with a 30-foot paved section if all of the required driveways are a minimum of 18 feet in width.

An Ordinance to amend Section 4.1 of the Appendix B, Subdivision Regulations pertaining to the deletion of the 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.
