Mr. Banagan advised the Average Home Assessment fell from $312, 000 to $290, 000. The Commercial
Tax Base increased from 15.0% current year to 15.4%. This was primarily driven by the depreciation of
residential property. Mr. Banagan, advised, typically, new construction is twenty-five (25%) commercial.
The Residential Base is huge with 152, 000 parcels.
Mayor Sessoms advised it is critical to grow the Commercial Base. Mr. Banagan advised commercial
rentals are declining and vacancies are increasing (this will be reflected next year). New construction for
the past twelve (12) months amounted to $366,831,498, which is a decrease of 43.9% from the previous
year. Residential new construction amounted to 74% of the total yearly construction, while
commercial/industrial represented 26%. Change in land, due to rezoning and subdivisions, amounted to
approximately $214, 000, 000.
Seven hundred seventy (770) new homes were built. There were ten (10) duplex units and one hundred
thirty-six (136) apartment units for a total of nine hundred sixteen (916).
The average assessment on a new home was $419, 700, a decrease of approximately ten percent (10%)
from the previous year. The building product has changed substantially.

CITY MANAGER `SBRIEFING
VIRGINIA BEACH SHOPPING CENTER REVITALIZATION
ITEM # 59655 (Continued)
Mr. Harris distributed the complete report, which is hereby made a part of the record.
Definitions
• Power Center -Example: Landstown Commons
Category-dominant anchors, including discount department stores, off-price stores,
wholesale clubs, with only a few small tenants (250,000-600,000 GLA)
• Lifestyle Center -Example: Lynnhaven Mall AMC area
Upscale national-chain specialty stores with dining and entertainment in an outdoor
setting (1 S0, 000-500, 000 GLA)
• Community Center -Example: Princess Anne Marketplace
General merchandise or convenience oriented offerings. Wider range of apparel and
other soft goods offerings than Neighborhood Centers. The Center is usually
configured in a straight line as a strip, or may be laid out in an L or Ushape,
depending on the site and design. (100,000-350,000 GLA)
• Neighborhood Center -Example: Indian Lakes
Convenience oriented -normally grocery store anchored. (30,000-150,000 GLA)
• Strip Center -Example: Holland West
Attached row of stores or service outlets managed as a coherent retail entity, with on-
siteparking usually located in front of the stores. Open canopies may connect the
store fronts, but a strip center does not have enclosed walkways linking the stores. A
Strip Center may be configured in a straight line, or have an "L" or "U" shape. A
Convenience Center is among the smallest of the Centers, whose tenants provide a
narrow mix of goods and personal services to a very limited trade area.
Mixed Use Development-Example: Town Center
A mixed-use development is a real estate project with planned integration of some
combination of retail, office, residential, hotel, recreation or other functions. It is
pedestrian-oriented and contains elements of a live-work play environment. It
maximizes space usage, has amenities, architectural expression and tends to
mitigate traffic and sprawl.
National Trends in Retail Industry
I. ChanQinQ Net Absorption
Costar and Property and Portfolio Research Inc. forecasts "negative economic absorption to continue
for two to three more quarters, followed by fairly robust positive absorption into 2011 and beyond" -
Jay Spivey, Costar Group's Senior Director of Research & Analytics
• Power Centers (+3.OM SF)
• Lifestyle Centers (+L 1M SF)
• Outlet Centers and super Regional Malls has been flat
• Regional Malls (-800,000 SF)
• Community Centers (-I.1M SF)
• Strip Centers (-1.4M SF)
• Neighborhood Centers (-2.3MSF)

CITY MANAGER `S BRIEFING
VIRGINIA BEACH SHOPPING CENTER REVITALIZATION
ITEM # 59655 (Continued)
National Trends in Retail Industry
(Continued)
Since 2005, there have been only three (3) malls built in the United States. In 2009, only one mall
opened. Therefore, the mall as a concept for shopping is no longer an active trend in the retail
environment and becoming less of an attractive environment. The United States Retail Industry is
currently experiencing overcapacity. The market has been overdeveloped in some areas. The other
trend is the Internet, which has been a major impact on the retail environment. Instead of going to a
traditional facility, an individual has the comforts of being able to shop and purchase goods and
services in the comfort of their home.
II. Chan~inQ Vacancy Rate
Costar and Property and Portfolio Research Inc. forecasts that the national average retail vacancy rate
will rise to higher than 8% in the first quarter of 2010 and following that, is expected to eventually
return to pre-Recession levels in early 2012.
• Vacancy by Shopping Center type generally increases as Centers get smaller:
Strip (11.8%)
Neighborhood (10.4%)
Community (10.3%)
Lifestyle Centers (8.4%)
Power Centers (8%)
Regional Malls (7.9%)
Outlet centers (5.7%)
Super regional malls (3.8%)
III. Economic Realities and Forecast
• Changing Demographics-
- Boomer Effect
- Generation X and Generation Y
• Shifting Trends in Retail Center Format
• The U.S. retail industry is currently experiencing a "100-Million-Square-Foot Hangover" -
PricewaterhouseCoopers Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey first quarter 2009 report.
(Supply outpacing Demand)
So, how are Malls and other Retail Centers adapting
• Malls built over the last few decades are being refurbished into so-called Lifestyle Centers -
Emphasize convenience, upscale shopping, and entertainment.
• Programming festivals, farmers markets, concerts, etcetra
• Creating a greater sense of place
• Green Initiatives
• Rebranding properties and going upscale
• Older Malls being torn down and redeveloped into more mixed-use, higher density properties

Summary
• Approximately two hundred nineteen (219) Retail Centers surveyed with the average age of
twenty-six (26) years-(note--estimated lifespan is twenty-seven (27) years)
• Strategy for Revitalization may mean a complete redevelopment of the Center and a possible
change of use
• Surrounding Neighborhoods play a key role in the viability of a Retail Center
• National Retailers are becoming increasingly selective in locations
• Landlords are facing increasing financial challenges and infilling non-traditional tenants
Strategy Recommendation
Establish Retail Improvement Program as part of a Design Center component--(Strategic Growth Area
Office)
• Suggested Budget Request - $150,000 (Retail Improvement Program Fund)
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
• To improve the viability of existing businesses in the City of Virginia Beach
• To provide financial assistance for facade improvements to owners of properties
• To eliminate blight and non-conforming design standards by encouraging program
participation
• To improve the visual presentation of individual properties by upgrading facades, signage, and
other exterior features
• To bring structures up to existing building and safety code standards
• To determine long-term viability and suggest potential alternative options
PROJECT FINANCING
• For every private dollar invested in the program, the city would consider a grant in the amount
of 2: 1, dependent upon the availability of budgeted funds through the Department of Housing
and Neighborhood Preservation

Strategy Recommendation (Continued)
POTENTIAL ELIGIBLE IMPROVEMENTS
An effective program must outline and provide tools to property owners to encourage the repositioning
and rebranding of their Center. The list below represents some examples of eligible improvements:
• Painting/stucco or other exterior enhancement
• Awnings, windows/doors replacement
• Murals, marquees, parapet walls, arcade%anopy facade
• Removal of old signage and new conforming facade and/or monument signs
• Tile/pavement between entry and public sidewalk
• Exterior and/or display lighting
• Accessibility improvements for the disabled
• Architectural and design costs are program eligible costs
• Landscaping improvements
• Other improvements subject to City approval
Funds administered through Housing and Neighborhood Preservation program-currently established
for residential properties
Include a commercial element in the Neighborhood Preservation Plan
Next Steps
Budget Process
Design Center as part of the Strategic Growth Area (SGA) office
Develop Specific Implementation Program
- Develop Application Forms
- Eligible Criteria Refined
- Marketing and Education of the Program
• Share program with City Staff
• Target specific properties
• Host "Open House"for Business Owners at Design Center
Council Lady Wilson suggested tax abatements be added to the list. The City Attorney shall advise.
Mr. Harris advised this is an unfunded program. Concerning the cost to administer, Mr. Harris hopes
this cost is limited as there is existing code enforcement currently employed within the City. The program
would seek to expand their services to include this activity.
Mayor Sessoms advised Mr. Harris would provide further information as to this impact on the budget.
Mayor Sessoms suggested a Shopping Center also be utilized as an example. The City wishes to invest in
their neighborhoods. The improvement to a Shopping Center in the neighborhood sets a tone. The
emphasis should be "the return on the investment ".
Councilman DeSteph suggested reducing the BPOL tax.

Roads Transit funding issue. In correspondence from Philip A. Shucet, President and Chief Executive

James Toscano, Vice President -Public Affairs and Communications -HRT, referenced there is good
news in the past twenty four hours, Mr. Shucet's desire is to fully make himself available to City Council
at least every quarter as HRT and TTDC desire a stronger relationship within Virginia Beach.
Concerning the Virginia Beach Transit Extension study on the Website, there will be an update on the
project's components and any presentation made at a public meeting. Questions from the public and
answers provided by the Hampton Roads Transit Consultant Team, including Virginia Beach City Staff,

Transit Extension Study).

to surprise individuals who have not participated in these areas. The City is almost finished with the
Newtown Strategic Growth Area, Council Lady Henley inquired when the next SGA was going to get
underway.
Mr. Whitney advised, after this ITA work is completed, either Hilltop or Rosemont will be examined.
These are both on the Transit line. East of Rosemont is the AICUZ areas.
Councilman Dyer advised part of the discussion was a concern to make sure all the Districts in the City
are viable and part of the plan in terms of transportation.

part of the discussion.

Mayor Sessoms WELCOMED Council Lady Rita Sweet Bellitto - At-Large, to her first City Council
Session.
PLEDGE OFALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OFAMERICA
Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED as an officer of TowneBank (which has a corporate office located at 297
Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), he is directly and indirectly involved in many of TowneBank's
transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles,
TowneBank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he
does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of
impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which
TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Prudential Towne
Realty, which is an affiliate of TowneBank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and
spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act'), it is his practice to
thoroughly review each City Council agenda to ident~ any matters in which he might have an actual or
potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a "personal
interest ", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter
with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of
March 24, 2009, is hereby made a part of the record.
February 23, 2010

Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank.
Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial ") purchased Resource Bank. On
March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a
Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a
`personal interest " in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton
Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal
knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting
of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential
conflict. If, during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the
appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the off cial records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones
regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the
record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED her husband is a principal in the accounting firm of
Goodman and Company and is directly and indirectly involved in many of Goodman and Company's
transactions. However, due to the size of Goodman and Company and the volume of transactions it
handles in any given year, Goodman and Company has an interest in numerous matters in which her
husband is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
Council Lady Wilson's letter of January 27, 2004, is hereby made a part of the record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Prudential
Decker Realty. Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent aff liation, the size of Prudential, and the
volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Prudential has an interest in numerous matters in
which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conf ict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.

ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS ITEM # 59681
The following registered in OPPOSITION:
Eileen Levandoski, 1205 Whilestone Way, Phone: 277-8537, Hampton Roads Conservation Coordinator
-Sierra Club. "The area's clean beaches are the backbone of our sustainable coastal economy
generating Billions of Dollars in Revenue from tourism recreation and commercial fishing. All stand at
risk if Virginia's coast should be open to offshore drilling. Oil and gas exploration and production
continues to be a dirty and dangerous activity that threatens coastal beaches, beach communities and
estuaries. United States Drilling operations leak an average of eight hundred and eighty thousand
(880, 000) gallons of oil into the ocean each year. Just this past Summer, an oil well off the Coast of
Australia blew out and began leaking 400 barrels of oil per day into the ocean covering more than 9, 000
square miles. The failed equipment was only two (2) years old. " Ms. Levandoski presented materials,
which are hereby made a part of the record, including a copy of correspondence from the County of
Accomack in OPPOSITION to off-shore drilling.
Terra Pascarlsa, 5604 Aragon Drive, and Phone: 291-4736, small business owner of Terra Scapes
Environmental consulting, is very opposed to the offshore drilling off the Atlantic Coast. "There are
many clean energy options available besides offshore drilling. Companies in Virginia are creating wind
turbines and solar services in Virginia Beach have been in existence for thirty (30) years. "
Benjamin Duff, 5604 Aragon Drive, Phone: 737-3066. "The City has touted its commitment to being a
leading city in the United States in energy sustainability. By supporting offshore drilling, Virginia Beach
cannot be considered among the "clean "cities. The benefits do not outweigh the risks of damages from
drilling to the shores. "
Upon motion by Councilman Davis, seconded by Councilman Uhrin, City Council ADOPTED, AS
REVISED:
Resolution to SUPPORT offshore oil and natural gas exploration re an
alternative energy source, with royalty payments to Atlantic Coast states,
and REQUEST Congress and the Virginia General Assembly provide
legislation to dedicate a portion of these royalties to fund transportation
Lease Sale 220/Deftned Sale Area and Map shall be a part of the Resolution.
Item No. 4 of said Resolution shall read as follows:
"Any offshore exploration or development must be done so as to not impact
military readiness and operations so complete coordination with all defense
agencies, especially the United States Navy, is paramount. "

REQUESTED BY MAYOR SESSOMS
1 A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS
2 EXPLORATION WITH ROYALTY PAYMENTS TO
3 ATLANTIC COAST STATES
4
5 WHEREAS, the Commonwealth of Virginia imports more electricity than all but
6 two other states; and
7
8 WHEREAS, according to the Department of Interior-Mining Minerals Services, as
9 much as 3.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas may be located off the coast of Virginia;
10 and
11
12 WHEREAS, the Department of Interior is in the process of considering the
13 leasing of Block 220 off the coast of Virginia for offshore oil and gas exploration; and
14
15 WHEREAS, there are several bills in the General Assembly of Virginia promoting
16 the exploration and possible production of oil and gas from those fields; and
17
18 WHEREAS, the development of an offshore oil and gas industry would create
19 thousands of jobs in Hampton Roads and produce hundreds of millions of dollars worth
20 of revenue to the Commonwealth and local governments if the Federal Royalty Law was
21 amended to allow not only Gulf and Pacific states but also Atlantic Coast states like
22 Virginia to receive offshore royalties; and
23
24 WHEREAS, the Mayor created the Alternative Energy Task Force to look at
25 energy needs of Virginia Beach and the Commonwealth; and
26
27 WHEREAS, the Alternative Energy Task Force has identified U.S.-produced oil
28 and gas as bridge sources until alternative sources such as wind become more mature
29 and usable; and
30
31 WHEREAS, it is believed that this oil and natural gas exploration can be done in
32 an environmentally sound manner; and
33
34 WHEREAS, there are many alternative uses for natural gas for energy
35 production, and natural gas is one of the cleanest sources of energy production.
36
37 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
38 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA THAT:
39
40 1. City Council endorses exploration for the development of oil and natural
41 gas off the coast of Virginia in Lease Block 220, which is more than 50 miles from the
42 coast of Virginia Beach; and
43
44 2. City Council endorses this development because of the need to create
45 more American-controlled energy resources; and
46
47 3. It is the sense of Council that oil and natural gas should be developed as a
48 bridge until other alternative energy sources such as wind and biodiesel are developed.
49
50 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT:
51
52 1. City Council requests that Congress amend the legislation concerning
53 royalty payments to states where oil and natural gas exploration occurs so that Virginia
54 can receive royalties from this oil and natural gas development; and
55
56 2. City Council supports legislation in the General Assembly that would
57 dedicate a portion of the royalties arising from the aforementioned production to be
58 dedicated to transportation to improve the quality of life and the competitiveness of
59 Virginia; and
60
61 3. City Council requests Congress to allow for royalty payments to Atlantic
62 Coast states as is done in the Gulf of Mexico and further requests Congress to amend
63 the royalty area maps so that the boundaries for the Atlantic Coast states are an east-
64 west line between the states; and
65
66 4. Any offshore exploration or development must be done so as to not impact
67 military readiness and operations so complete coordination with all defense agencies,
68 especially the United States Navy, is paramount; and
69
70 5. The City Clerk shall provide a copy of this resolution to the City's
71 Congressional Delegation, the City's Local Delegation to the General Assembly, and the
72 Governor of Virginia.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach this 23ra day of

1 A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE GENERAL
2 ASSEMBLY AND THE GOVERNOR TO CONTINUE
3 FUNDING FOR THE BRAC COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
4 PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE
5 COMMONWEALTH
6 WHEREAS, since the Base Realignment and Closure Commission's (BRAC)
7 decision concerning the realignment of Naval Air Station Oceana (NAS Oceana) was
8 announced in 2005, the City of Virginia Beach and the Commonwealth of Virginia have
9 engaged in an equal partnership in funding a program (the Compliance Program) to
10 purchase property for the purpose of stopping and rolling back encroachment around
11 NAS Oceana, the Navy's East Coast Master Jet Base; and
12 WHEREAS, the Compliance Program is being funded by $15 million annually,
13 half by the City and half by the Commonwealth, through a Virginia Military Strategic
14 Response Fund grant; and
15 WHEREAS, since 2005, the City and the Commonwealth have been successful
16 in purchasing or reaching agreements to purchase more than $70 million of property,
17 comprising more than 420 acres of land around NAS Oceana; and
18 WHEREAS, there continues to be steady interest by willing sellers in the areas
19 around the base; and
20 WHEREAS, as part of the Compliance Program, the City Council has also
21 enacted strict zoning regulations limiting or prohibiting incompatible development in
22 over one-third of the City of Virginia Beach and has implemented an incentive-based
23 conformity program for APZ-1, in order to further protect NAS Oceana from
24 encroachment; and
25 WHEREAS, the Budget Committees in the General Assembly have eliminated
26 the Banding for the BRAC Compliance Program included in Governor Kaine's budget
27 recommendation before he left office; and
28 WHEREAS, the Senate Finance Committee has recommended the complete
29 elimination of the funding from the biennial budget, and the House Appropriations
30 Committee has recommended eliminating funding in the second year of the biennium;
31 and
32 WHEREAS, the Commonwealth's failure to continue to fund its current share of
33 the program would cast the entire financial burden of funding the Compliance Program
34 solely upon the City of Virginia Beach, and would signal a weakening of the
35 Commonwealth's commitment to retain NAS Oceana as the East Coast Master Jet
36 Base.
37 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
38 OF VIRGINIA BEACH:
39 That the General Assembly is requested to continue funding in the first year of
40 the biennium in the amount of $7.5 million, to which the City has a budgeted match of
41 $7.5 million; and
42 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
43 VIRGINIA BEACH:
44 That the City Council fully appreciates the difficult fiscal circumstances that the
45 Commonwealth and all of its constituent localities are enduring, and commits to working
46 with the 2012 General Assembly for the funding of the Compliance Program in fiscal
47 year 2012.
48 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
49 VIRGINIA BEACH:
50 That the City Clerk is directed to provide a copy of this Resolution to the
51 members of the City's General Assembly Delegation and to the Honorable Bob
52 McDonnell, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is hereby
entered into as of this 26th day of October, 2009 (the "Effective Date"), by and between JONES
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT COMPANY, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company
(a.k.a. Jones Real Estate Investment Company, L.L.C.) ("Owner") (index as a "grantor"), THE
REBKEE COMPANY, a Virginia corporation ("Applicant Developer") (index as a "grantor"),
and the CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of
Virginia (the "Grantee")
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Owner is the owner of record, and Applicant Developer is the proposed
developer and the applicant for the rezoning, of certain parcels of property located in the Princess
Anne district of the City of Virginia Beach, more particularly described as follows:
See Exhibit "A"
Said parcels hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Property"; and
WHEREAS, the Property by action of City Council for the City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, on September 8, 2009, was rezoned to Conditional B-2 (the "Rezoning") and is subject
to the terms of the zoning ordinance of the City of Virginia Beach; and

sometimes collectively referred to as the "Grantors") initiated a conditional amendment to the

PARCEL 1 GPIN: 2414-06-7715
PARCEL 2 GPIN: 2414-06-7684
change the Zoning Classification of the Property from R-20 and O-1 to conditional B-2 with the
covenants, restrictions and conditions of an agreement, dated July 1, 2009, which agreement was
recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia (the
"Clerk's Office") as Instrument no. 20090915001086450 (the "Proffer Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, subsequent to the Rezoning and the Proffer Agreement, Grantors have
requested modifications to the site plat referenced in the Proffer Agreement and clarification of
the provisions of the Proffer Agreement relating to access to the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes through zoning and other land development legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantors acknowledge that competing and sometimes incompatible uses
conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the Property and at the
same time to recognize the effects of the change and the need for various types of uses, certain
reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the community that
are generally not applicable to land similarly zoned B-2 are needed to cope with the situation to
which the Grantors' rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Owner has voluntarily proffered, and the Applicant Developer has
agreed to, in writing, in advance of and prior to the public hearing before the Grantee, as a part of
the amendment to the Zoning Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the existing B-2
zoning district by the existing City's Zoning Ordinance ("CZO"), the following reasonable
conditions related to the physical development, operation, and use of the Property to be adopted
as a part of said amendment to the Zoning Map relative and applicable to the Property, which
paRP~„fin
conditions constitute an amendment and restatement of the Proffer Agreement and all of which
have a reasonable relation to the Rezoning and the need for which is generated by the Rezoning.
WHEREAS, said conditions, as hereby amended and restated, having been proffered by
the Owner, and agreed to by the Applicant Developer, and allowed and accepted by the Grantee
as part of the Zoning Ordinance, such amended and restated conditions shall continue in full
force and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning on the Property covered by
such conditions; provided, however, that such conditions shall continue despite a subsequent
amendment if the subsequent amendment is pazt of the comprehensive implementation of a new
or substantially revised zoning ordinance, unless, notwithstanding the foregoing, these conditions
are amended or vazied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's Office and executed by the
record owner of the subject Property at the time of recordation of such instrument; provided,

copy of the ordinance or resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Property Owner is the owner of certain parcels of property located in the

See Exhibit "A"
said parcels hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Property"; and
WHEREAS, by Order entered by the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach,

with the filing of an Application for Rezoning of the aforesaid property; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has initiated a conditional amendment to the zoning map of the
City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, by petition addressed to the Grantee so as to change the Zoning

Classification of the Property from R-15, AG-1 and AG-2 to Conditional R-15; and
WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes through zoning and other land development legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that the competing and sometimes incompatible
development of various types of uses conflict and that in order to permit different types of uses
on and in the area of the Property and at the same time to recognize the effects of change that will
be created by the Grantor's proposed rezoning, certain reasonable conditions governing the use
of the Property for the protection of the community that are not generally applicable to land
similarly zoned are needed to resolve the situation to which the Grantor's rezoning application
gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has voluntarily proffered, in writing, in advance of and prior to
the public hearing before the Grantee, as a part of the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map
with respect to the Property, the following reasonable conditions related to the physical
development, operation, and use of the Property to be adopted as a part of said amendment to the
Zoning Map relative and applicable to the Property, which has a reasonable relation to the
rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantor, its successors, personal representatives, assigns,
Grantee, and other successors in title or interest, voluntarily and without any requirement by or
exaction from the Grantee or its governing body and without any element of compulsion or quid
pro uo for zoning, rezoning, site plan, building permit, or subdivision approval, hereby makes
the following declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall restrict and govern the
physical development, operation, and use of the Property and hereby covenants and agrees that this
declaration shall constitute covenants running with the Property, which shall be binding upon the

neighbors, both in design, size and building materials.
4. The property shall be subject to an avigation easement, which shall acknowledge
the right of the United States Navy to conduct military operations in the airspace about the
property and shall include a covenant not to bring legal action for damages or other relief as a
result of noise levels from overflights. The avigation easement shall be in a form recommended
by the Director of Planning and approved by the City Attorney and shall be recorded with the
final subdivision plat.

this agreement by City Council, which are by this reference incorporated herein.
The above conditions, having been proffered by the Grantor and allowed and accepted by
the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, shall continue in full force and
effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning of the Property and specifically repeals
such conditions. Such conditions shall continue despite a subsequent amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance even if the subsequent amendment is part of a comprehensive implementation of a
new or substantially revised Zoning Ordinance until specifically repealed. The conditions,
however, may be repealed, amended, or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and executed by the record
owner of the Property at the time of recordation of such instrument, provided that such
instrument is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of an
ordinance or a resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee which was advertised pursuant to the provisions of Section l 5.2-2204 of the
Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. Said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with
said instrument as conclusive evidence of such consent, and if not so recorded, said instrument
shall be void.

(b) to bring legal action or suit to insure compliance with such conditions, including mandatory
or prohibitory injunction, abatement, damages, or other appropriate action, suit, or proceeding;
(2) The failure to meet all conditions and restrictions shall constitute cause to deny
the issuance of any of the required building or occupancy permits as may be appropriate;
(3) If aggrieved by any decision of the Zoning Administrator, made pursuant to these
provisions, the Grantor shall petition the governing body for the review thereof prior to
instituting proceedings in court; and

conditions attaching to the zoning of the Property, and the ordinances and the conditions may be
made readily available and accessible for public inspection in the office of the Zoning
