Prior to January 1, 2003, such exemptions could only be granted by the General Assembly. Section 58.1-3651 of the Virginia Code sets forth the process for designating specific organizations as being exempt from local taxation, and a list of factors for the local governing body to consider is set forth. They are: 1. Whether the organization is exempt from taxation pursuant to § 501 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954; 2. Whether a current annual alcoholic beverage license for serving alcoholic beverages has been issued by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to such organization, for use on such property; 3. Whether any director, officer, or employee of the organization is paid compensation in excess of a reasonable allowance for salaries or other compensation for personal services which such director, officer, or employee actually renders; 4. Whether any part of the net earnings of such organization inures to the benefit of any individual, and whether any significant portion of the service provided by such organization is generated by funds received from donations, contributions, or local, state or federal grants; 5. Whether the organization provides services for the common good of the public; 6. Whether a substantial part of the activities of the organization involves carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation and whether the organization participates in, or intervenes in, any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office; 7. The revenue impact to the locality and its taxpayers of exempting the property; and 8. Any other criteria, facts and circumstances that the governing body deems pertinent to the adoption of such ordinance. The City Council adopted a revised policy regarding applications for Tax Exemption by Designation on May 6, 2008 (attached). ■ Considerations: The Commissioner of Revenue has received three applications in this reporting period. The Commissioner has reviewed each application. The Commissioner finds the following applicant qualify for exemption from real and personal property taxes: • Arag ona-Pem broke Little League Inc.

Need City Council has requested guidance as to criteria for considering exemptions as well as a procedure for reviewing requests for exemption from local property taxes. The Commissioner of the Revenue has offered revisions to Council's policy adopted on February 2, 2004 in an effort to streamline the exemption review process for local nonprofit organizations and provide necessary analysis and oversight of the application process. Legislative Background: The Virginia Constitution provides that, after January 1, 2003, local governments may, by designation, exempt the real and personal property of nonprofit organizations from local property taxes if used exclusively for religious, charitable, patriotic, historical, benevolent, cultural, or public park and playground purposes. However, as provided in Virginia Code § 58.1-3651, the local governing body must adopt an ordinance to exempt the property. 2.0 Poli The City Council is not required to designate any organization properly applying for exemption from taxation, and every designation of an organization is conditioned upon compliance with the terms of this policy and any ordinance granting the exemption. If an organization does not comply with these requirements, the City Council may revoke the tax exemption after providing notice and a hearing to the organization. Any revocation of an exemption shall be effective at the beginning of the tax year during which the revocation occurs. The applicant or a representative of the applicant shall provide the Commissioner of the Revenue detailed information necessary to determine the benefits to the public that will result from granting tax exemption. In considering applications, the Commissioner of the Revenue shall employ the following guidelines: r tle: City Council Policy Regarding Applications for Tax Exemption by Designation Date of Adoption: February 3, 2004 Dates of Revisions: May 6, 2008 Page 2 ,of 4 1. The organization must be exempt from federal income tax pursuant to Internal Revenue Code § 501(c). 2. Personal or real property for which an exemption is sought cannot be used by any member of the organization or other persons except for non-profit purposes benefiting the non-profit organization applying for exemption. 3. The organization must be in compliance with all City ordinances and regulations (including but not limited to building, property maintenance, and zoning codes) and all applicable tax obligations. 4. The organization must provide a service to the residents of the City that results in a benefit to the public (tangible or intangible). The following requirements apply to each entity exempted from local property taxes by the City Council: 1. Upon obtaining exemption, the organization must annually submit (by July 1 of each year) its Internal Revenue Service Form 990 or 990 EZ to the Commissioner of the Revenue. If not required to file Form 990 or 990 EZ, then the organization must annually certify on form(s) prescribed by the Commissioner of the Revenue its continuing tax exempt status. Loss of 501(c) status must immediately be reported to the Commissioner of the Revenue and City Attorney, and is grounds for revocation of tax exempt status. 2. Pursuant to Virginia Code § 58.1-3605, each entity exempted from local property taxes shall, every three years, file an exemption application with the Commissioner of the Revenue as a requirement for retention of the exempt status of the property. The application form shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney. 3. Each entity exempted from local property taxes must cooperate fully with the Commissioner of the Revenue with respect to audit of its financial records, compliance with the terms of this policy, and compliance with any ordinance granting tax exemption. 3.0 Procedure to Accomplish Policy I. Organizations applying for exemption must request a determination from the Commissioner of the Revenue as to whether the organization is or may be tax-exempt by classification, pursuant to Article 2 (§58.1-3606 et seq.) of°Article 3 (§58.1-3609 et seq.) of Title 58.1 of the Virginia Code. If the organization is not exempt, but meets the criteria of organizations that can be exempted by designation (see Virginia Code §58.1-3651), the organization will receive Title: City Council Policy Regarding Applications for Tax Exemption by Designation Date of Adoption: February 3, 2004 Dates of Revisions: May 6, 2008 Page 3 of 4 an application from the Commissioner of the Revenue. The application form shall request all information required by Virginia Code §58.1-3651 and be approved as to form by the City Attorney. 2. Applications for exemption shall be considered quarterly. Applications for exemption must be submitted to the Commissioner of the Revenue. Applications shall be submitted no later than October 1 of the year preceding the effective date of the exemption. Based on the criteria set forth in section 2.0 of this policy, the Commissioner of the Revenue will review each application and make a report to City Council regarding whether an organization qualifies for exemption under law and City policy. The Commissioner of the Revenue will not submit applications he deems incomplete to City Council for a determination. 3. The Commissioner of the Revenue shall forward copies of the applications along with his written findings to the City Attorney. The City Attorney shall prepare the necessary ordinances for City Council and coordinate with the City Clerk to ensure that the applications are properly advertised and placed on the City Council's agenda for a public hearing and formal consideration. 4. The City Council will conduct a public hearing and consider the criteria set forth in Virginia Code §58.1-3651, section 2.0 of this policy, and the findings of the Commissioner of the Revenue. 5. Any exemptions granted shall be effective as of the next January 1. 6. Exemptions, as well as any departure from these guidelines, shall require approval by three- fourths (3/4) of the members of City Council. 4.0 Responsibility and Authority Responsibility for initiating application for exemption and timely providing any information or application required by the Commissioner of the Revenue shall rest with the organization seeking exemption. Responsibility for making available information, application for exemption, verifying submitted tax information and reporting on the initial and continuing status of the taxpayer shall rest with the Commissioner of the Revenue. Responsibility for preparing required ordinances, arranging for the advertising of public hearings, and placing items on the City Council's agenda for a vote on proposed exemptions shall rest with the City Attorney. Responsibility for the final determination of the public benefits resulting from tax exemption shall rest exclusively with the City Council.

The volunteer rescue squads own all the ambulances providing 911 emergency medical transportation services in the City of Virginia Beach. The volunteer rescue squads receive no direct tax funding for their operating costs to provide these services and do not charge their patients for the medical treatment and/or transportation rendered. The primary source of revenue for the volunteer rescue squads is through squad fund drives, conducted annually. In September 2007, the City Council approved a $5 million interest-free loan ("Loan") to the Virginia Beach Rescue Squad, Inc. ("Rescue Squad") for the design and construction of a new building. The Rescue Squad is current on this obligation. It seeks a modification of the Loan terms to allow Rescue . 14 to purchase a new ambulance. Thus, instead of continuing to pay the Loan as previously authorized and asking for a separate loan for the purchase of the ambulance, the Rescue Squad seeks a reduction in the current year payment from $500,000 to $250,000. The $250,000 not paid in the current year will be added as an additional, final -year payment. ■ Considerations: The requested modification of the Loan between the City and the Rescue Squad does not change the amount of the loan. Rather, the modification changes the payment schedule. The City has historically provided no interest loans to the volunteer rescue squads servicing the City's citizens. The majority of these loans have been to provide capital for the acquisition of replacement ambulances, which is the purpose of this modification. ■ Public Information: Information will be provided by the regular Council agenda notification process. ■ Attachments: Ordinance; Amendment to the Promissory Note REQUESTED BY MAYOR SESSOMS 1 AN ORDINANCE 2 INTEREST-FREE 3 RESCUE SQUAD 4 TO MODIFY THE $5,000,000 LOAN TO THE VIRGINIA BEACH 5 WHEREAS, the City of Virginia Beach approved a loan of $5,000,000 to the Virginia 6 Beach Rescue Squad, Inc.

The issuance of these bonds by the Authority will be in the public interest, will benefit the inhabitants of the City of Virginia Beach through the promotion of their safety, health, welfare, convenience of prosperity and will provide a public benefit to the City by, among other things, promoting research and development of medical technologies. These funds are to be utilized primarily to finance the cost of refunding the Authority's 2004 Bonds and for funding the acquisition, construction and equipping of a new medical 40,000 square foot high technology science building for the research and development of diagnostic testing. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have at our next meeting. Sincerely, Mark R. Wawner Project Development Coordinator MRW/AWS CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: Resolution to Adopt a City Council Policy on the Change of Use of Mobile Home Parks MEETING DATE: December 7, 2010 ■ Background: Ten mobile home parks are located wholly or partially within Virginia Beach. Approximately 1,400 households own mobile homes and live within those parks, renting sites for their homes. Attachment 1 lists existing mobile home parks in Virginia Beach and key information about them. During the past two years, Strategic Growth Area plans have been adopted that call for the eventual change of use of five (5) of these mobile home parks which together house approximately 914 of the 1,400 total mobile homes in the city, or nearly two-thirds of all homes. The impact of a change of use on mobile home park residents is significant, and could be compounded over time as parks are redeveloped in accordance with the city's adopted plans. Residents will most likely not be able to move mobile homes that they own, due to the physical condition of the home and/or policies of other mobile home parks; or will not be able to find a location to move their home to except one which is very distant from their current location. This means moving away from schools, family members and employment. Relocation itself, even when possible, often costs $5,000 or more. Therefore, to address the hardships that current city residents may face when their mobile home park is redeveloped, it is recommended that Council adopt a policy that asks owners, sellers or buyers who plan to change the use of mobile home parks and who need Council approval to do so, to address three key issues that can help ameliorate the hardship of residents who need to relocate. These issues are: length of time given between notification and actual relocation; availability of ongoing and accurate information to residents that helps them plan more effectively; and actions to address the financial hardship of residents. The complete policy proposal is included in Attachment /1, Proposed City Council Policy on the Change of Use of Mobile Home Parks. ■ Considerations: The proposed policy does not impose requirements on new development, but provides guidance and context for Council members to discuss these issues with developers and residents and allow them to be aired in an organized fashion. It will also provide some basis for current residents to understand that these issues will be discussed publicly, and to have input on them. Recently a mobile home park located primarily in the City of Chesapeake was under consideration for redevelopment. The City of Chesapeake is considering a similar set of issues as a result of that proposed development. Adoption of a policy by both cities would provide a "level playing field" without disadvantaging developers or the cities. In addition, without such a policy, neither developers nor Council will have clear expectations of what can or should be done, and any response will likely be reactive and less effective. ■ Public Information: Prior to consideration of this policy, Council was briefed in public session on November 9th, 2010. ■ Recommendation: Approval of the attached resolution to adopt the policy. ■ Attachments: Resolution; Attachment land 2 Submitting Department/Agenc� Preservation City Manager: rtment of Housing and Neighborhood 1 A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT A POLICY CONCERNING THE 2 CHANGE OF USE OF MOBILE HOME PARKS 3 4 WHEREAS, ten (10) mobile home parks, in which approximately one thousand, 5 four hundred (1,400) households own mobile homes and rent sites for their homes, are 6 located wholly or partially within the City of Virginia Beach; and 7 8 WHEREAS, during the past two years, Strategic Growth Area (SGA) plans have 9 been adopted that call for the eventual change of use of five (5) of these mobile home 10 parks, which together house approximately nine hundred (900) of the total number of 11 mobile homes in the City; and 12 13 WHEREAS, two other parks, having a total of more than 100 homes, have been 14 the subject of discussions about development potential of the property on which they 15 are located; and 16 17 WHEREAS, the impact on mobile home park residents of a change of use is 18 significant, and could be compounded over time as more and more parks are 19 redeveloped; and 20 21 WHEREAS, most of the residents living in mobile home parks that are 22 redeveloped will be unable to move mobile homes that they own, due to the physical 23 condition of the home and/or policies of other mobile home parks, or will not be able to 24 find a new mobile home site other than one which is very from their current location, 25 thereby requiring moving away from schools, family members and employment; and 26 27 WHEREAS, even when relocation is possible, the cost thereof often exceeds five 28 thousand dollars ($5,000); and 29 30 WHEREAS, it is the sense of the City Council that the City should have a policy 31 of requesting owners, sellers or buyers who need City Council approval for a proposed 32 change of use of a mobile home park to address the key issues arising from such 33 redevelopment in such manner as to help ameliorate the hardship of residents who 34 must to relocate from their mobile home parks; 35 36 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 37 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 38 39 That the attached City Council policy entitled "Change in Use of Mobile Home 40 Parks," dated August 16, 2010, is hereby adopted and shall apply to all proposals for a 41 change in use or redevelopment of a mobile home park or manufactured home park that 42 require discretionary development approval of the City Council in the form of a rezoning, 43 conditional zoning, conditional use permit or street closure. 44 45 46 Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, on the day 47 of , 2010.

Need: This policy is needed for three reasons: 1) Hardship: Because redevelopment or change of use of mobile home parks imposes a special and often severe hardship on mobile home park residents. This hardship is understood as follows: ➢ There is a declining number of mobile home parks in the south Hampton Roads region. Therefore, with each new closure, the possibility that an owner of a mobile home has no alternative location to move their home to grows greater. ➢ Due to the age of and condition of some mobile homes, some either cannot physically be moved; or available parks will not accept them to be moved in, thus further limiting the options for moving. ➢ Therefore, if a family owns a mobile home and cannot move it, they may lose the capital invested in it, often a substantial amount and/or the main investment of that family. This is a severe financial hardship. ➢ For those few who can move their mobile home, the move is expensive, often $5,000 or more. In addition, due to the lack of available parks in the region, this can mean moving out of the area and away from employment and family. ➢ For all others, the only alternative is to obtain rental housing. However, the monthly cost of most available rental housing is hundreds of dollars higher than the monthly cost of renting a mobile home site. This is then a second severe financial burden imposed upon residents. 2) Homelessness: This policy is needed because the city is committed to ending homelessness via the Council's adoption of the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness, and the change of use of a mobile home park may cause households to either be on the brink of homelessness or to actually become homeless. 3) SGA Plans: This policy is needed because City Council has adopted plans for strategic growth areas that call for the eventual change in use of existing mobile home parks.SGA plans for Burton Station/Northampton and Pembroke, and the Resort Area Master Plan all envision new uses of existing mobile home parks. 2.0 Policy 1) Notification Residents of mobile home parks should be provided timely, sufficient and clear notice regarding an impending change of land use at the earliest possible time, consistent with applicable state law. While it is understood that changes of use involving sale of property may be conditional upon city approvals, residents must still receive conditional notification of a possible change of use. Written notification to all affected residents six months prior to the date on which the notified person must leave the premises is the minimum required under state law and to meet this guideline. Additional time is preferable. 2) Ongoing Liaison and the Provision of Information A key ingredient of a more successful change of use, and a key way to help residents cope with that change, is the provision of a contact person and information resources available to residents on an ongoing, weekly basis, which will do the following: ➢ Be available to answer questions and speak with residents on a regular, weekly basis so that residents learn about changes in plans and opportunities to relocate, and so that rumors can be heard and addressed. ➢ Be a central point of contact for city and non-profit agencies to distribute information and coordinate the provision of services or assistance. ➢ Coordinate activities related to the movement of mobile homes out of the park. 3) Reduction of Financial Hardship A change in use of a mobile home park may inflict a financial hardship on residents. Various methods of ameliorating this hardship should be explored and the most appropriate one(s) chosen. Possibilities include: ➢ Not collecting rents for several months to allow residents to accumulate their own funds for moving and future rent costs. ➢ Providing a stipend to each household ➢ Providing financial incentives to help people relocate Any of the above can be combined with a timeline that incentivizes people to make early choices to relocate. 4) Overall Owners and/or purchasers should seek to address the specific needs of the households in their parks, with appropriate measures consistent with this policy. 5) Applicability This policy applies to mobile home or manufactured home parks which meet the Virginia code definition, as follows: "Manufactured home park" means a parcel of land under single or common ownership 2 upon which ten or more manufactured homes are located on a continual, non -recreational basis together with any structure, equipment, road or facility intended for use incidental to the occupancy of the manufactured homes, but shall not include premises used solely for storage or display of uninhabited manufactured homes, or premises occupied solely by a landowner and members of his family. 3.0 Procedures to Accomplish Policy It is the responsibility of the Planning Director as follows: a) to insure that, upon receipt of a proposal for the change of use of a mobile home park, that the proposer is provided with a copy of this policy and to provide the opportunity to discuss it with the staff, including designated staff from the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation. b) to insure that any response by the proposer to the proposed policy received in writing by the Planning Department is included in the Planning staff's recommendations to the Planning commission and council c) To insure that any proffers made by the proposer relating to this policy are communicated to the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation and that an agreement regarding determining compliance with such proffers is developed and carried out. 4.0 Responsibility and Authority The Planning Director and the Director of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation are responsible for the procedures outlined in Section 3.0 above. 3 1A B f2o +Zj CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: A Resolution Supplementing the 2011 Legislative Agenda by Adding a Proposal for Legislation Regarding Business License Tax Incentives for Small Businesses ReceTwr neTF• ni=r.Pmher 7. 2010 ■ Background: The Business, Professional and Occupational License (BPOL or Business License) Tax is a tax on the gross receipts of a business operating within the City. The BPOL tax is a privilege tax, and unlike a property tax, which is constrained by the Virginia Constitution with regard to uniformity, the uniformity requirement for the BPOL tax is statutory. Thus, the General Assembly has greater flexibility regarding the manner and timing by which localities assess and collect BPOL taxes. Because the BPOL tax is imposed upon gross receipts, it is assessed upon businesses that are both profitable and unprofitable. Paying the BPOL tax is particularly difficult during the business's infancy; a time when the business is least likely to make a profit. Thus, the City would like to have a mechanism to lessen the burden of BPOL taxation during a business's first two years. ■ Considerations: City Council adopted the City's 2011 Legislative Agenda on October 12, 2010. The attached resolution would supplement the Legislative Agenda by adding a request for enabling legislation to allow the City to enact an ordinance to provide business license tax abatements for a business' first two license years. By reducing the tax burden on new businesses, the City desires to incentivize job creation, encourage entrepreneurialism, and bring business to the City. Public Information: Key stakeholders in this issue have been consulted. The normal Council agenda process will provide additional public information. ■ Attachments: Resolution Recommended Action: Adoption Requested by Councilmember Wilson REQUESTED BY COUNCILMEMBER WILSON 1 A RESOLUTION SUPPLEMENTING THE 2011 2 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA BY ADDING A 3 PROPOSAL FOR LEGISLATION REGARDING 4 BUSINESS LICENSE TAX INCENTIVES FOR 5 SMALL BUSINESSES 6 7 WHEREAS, on October 12, 2010, the City Council adopted its 2011 Legislative 8 Agenda and requested that members of the City's local Delegation to the General 9 Assembly sponsor and/or support legislation therein; and 10 11 WHEREAS, state legislation is needed to provide authority for the City to 12 incentivize small business through the reduction of business license taxes for new 13 businesses, but a request for such legislation is not currently part of the 2011 14 Legislative Agenda; 15 16 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 17 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 18 19 That the City Council hereby amends its 2011 Legislative Agenda by adding the 20 attached request for legislation regarding small business incentives. 21 22 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA 23 BEACH, VIRGINIA: 24 25 That the City Clerk is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution and 26 the attachment to each member of the City's Delegation to the General Assembly. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, this day of , 2010. APPROVED TO CONTENT AND LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: s Office CAI 1751 R-1 November 24, 2010 Business License Tax Incentive for New Small Businesses Councilmember Wilson Background The Business, Professional, and Occupational License (BPOL) Tax is a gross receipts tax. The City levies BPOL taxes upon those businesses operating within the City based upon the authority provided by Chapter 37 of the Virginia Tax Code (Title 58.1 of the Code of Virginia). For businesses with gross receipts that are less than $100,000, the business pays a flat license fee to the City. The license fee for businesses with gross receipts of less than $25,000 is $40. The license fee for businesses with gross receipts between $25,001 and $100,000 is $50. For businesses with gross receipts above $100,000, the tax is based upon a rate applied to the company's gross receipts. The state law provides four general classifications and the maximum rate for each. The classifications and rates are: • For contracting, sixteen cents per $100 of gross receipts; • For retail sales, twenty cents per $100 of gross receipts; • For financial, real estate and professional services, fifty-eight cents per $100 of gross receipts; and • For repair, personal and business services, and all other businesses and occupations not specifically listed or excepted by law, thirty-six cents per $100 of gross receipts. Assuming a business has $1,000,000 in gross receipts, the BPOL tax would be $1600 for a contracting business, $2000 for a retail sales business, $5800 for financial, real estate and professional service, or $3600 for repair, personal and business services. The BPOL tax is a privilege tax, and unlike a property tax, which is constrained by the Virginia Constitution with regard to uniformity, the uniformity requirement for the BPOL tax is statutory. Thus, the General Assembly has greater flexibility regarding the manner and timing by which localities assess and collect BPOL taxes. One example is the flat fee for businesses with gross receipts below a specified dollar amount discussed above. As a tax on gross receipts, the BPOL tax is imposed upon a business regardless of whether the business makes a profit. For a new business, the first years often entail capital investment, personnel development, and establishing a customer base. Paying the BPOL tax is particularly difficult during the business's infancy; a time when the business is least likely to make a profit. Thus, the City would like to have a mechanism to lessen the burden of BPOL taxation during a business's first two years. With this request for enabling legislation, the City desires to incentivize job creation, encourage entrepreneurialism, and bring business to the City. Request The City requests the General Assembly provide enabling authority for a locality to enact an ordinance providing a rebate, exemption, or alternative mechanism for the abatement of BPOL taxes paid by a business for the first two license years. The ordinance will provide the amount of relief, which may be all or a portion of the BPOL taxes. Additionally, the ordinance will provide the extent and duration of the; incentive as well as any conditions or limitations upon the incentive.

ANDREWS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, Modification of Condition Use Permit, 717 Tucson Road (GPIN 1476156882).KEMPSVILLE DISTRICT MEETING DATE: December 7, 2010 ■ Background: The applicant is requesting to construct three small additions to the existing church building. The Conditional Use Permit permitting a church was approved by the City Council on June 10, 1968. The Conditional Use Permit has no conditions; however, a site plan was submitted with the request approved in 1968. The submitted site plan depicted the location of the proposed sanctuary, educational buildings, and parking. Section 221 (a) of the City Zoning Ordinance requires "The application shall be accompanied by a plan showing the actual dimensions and shape of the lot, the exact sizes and locations on the lot of existing buildings, if any, the general location of proposed buildings, if any, and the existing and proposed uses of structures and open areas; and by such additional information relating to topography, access, and surrounding land uses". The Planning Department's policy requires a modification to a conditional use permit if proposed construction, additions, and or alterations are not in keeping with the approved conditional use permit site plan. The proposed additions to the church, while minimal, exceed the approved footprint of the plan approved by the City Council in 1968, thus the reason for the request. The submitted site plan depicts three additions proposed for the building. A 30 - foot by 50 -foot addition, to be used as the choir room, is proposed, as well as an 18 -foot by 20 -foot addition in a small courtyard area on the north side of the church. A 30 -foot by 12 -foot canopy and improved entrance to the church is proposed along the south side of the building. The building elevations depict the proposed additions are in keeping with the scale and design of the existing building. ■ Considerations: The request to construct three small additions to the existing church building is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's policies for the Suburban Area. Design guidelines to incorporate these policies in development proposals in the Trustees of St. Andrews United Methodist Church Page 2of3 Suburban Area are presented in the 'Special Area Development Guidelines' outlined in the Comprehensive Plan Reference Handbook. These guidelines include specific site design, screening, landscaping, and lighting guidance for non-residential uses in the Suburban Area that protect and complement the visual quality, overall function, and integrity of existing neighboring properties and community. Applying these guidelines to this application, the proposals to add a choir room, upgrade to the south entrance, and extend the canopy blends well with the existing church complex, are complimentary to the streetscape, and reflect appropriate height, scale, and mass between the building environment and the adjacent residential area and uses. Building colors of the additions complement the surrounding environment and reinforce the compatibility of the building additions. Visual interest of the additions is provided through door details, varied rooflines, consistent textures, and color. Staff recommends approval of this requested modification, as conditioned below. There was no opposition to the request. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. The proposed additions to the building shall be substantial in accordance with the submitted Conditional Use Exhibit entitled "ST. ANDREW'S UNITED METHODIST CHURCH", prepared by Patton, Harris Rust & Associates. Said exhibit plan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 2.

D/B/A TIDEWATER AUTO AUCTION/EAGLE HOLDINGS, LLC, Modification of Conditions, approved by City Council on November 14, 2006, 656 S. Military Highway (GPIN 1456450664; 1456376863). KEMPSVILLE DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: December 7, 2010 ■ Background: A Conditional Use Permit was approved on this site by City Council in 2006 for outdoor storage of motor vehicles and a 60,000 square foot vehicle repair body shop. The project also included an indoor, wholesale auto auction facility of 80,000 square feet. The indoor auto auction can be operated by right under the current 1-1 Light Industrial zoning. Condition 5 of the approval limited the height of outdoor lighting to be no higher than 14 feet. According to the applicant's consultant, Old Dominion Lighting, the submitted plan depicted 121 light poles with a total of 490 lamps that would generate 149,259 watts of bright white light. The applicant proposes to modify this condition for a plan with only 21 light poles, all 39 feet high with the exception of 1 pole closest to the residential neighborhood being only 30 feet high. The proposed 21 light poles will support 48 lamps that will generate 36,945 watts of yellowish, less glaring light. A minor shift of the buildings is also proposed. ■ Considerations: This site has always been an extremely challenging one. The Comprehensive Plan calls for the eventual replacement of the existing "heavier" industrial uses along Military Highway with uses that are more compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods. It is rare to find such a large piece of vacant property zoned 1-1 Light Industrial District adjacent to residentially zoned properties. As the 1-1 zoning is already in place, a variety of uses by right are permitted that may be objectionable when located adjacent to a residential neighborhood. Staff concluded in 2006 that of all of those permitted uses, one of the least intensive is that of bulk storage of automobiles. With the adherence of the approved conditions attached to the 2006 Conditional Use Permit, the operation should prove to be a better neighbor to the residential area than a number of uses allowed by -right on the site.

CITY SERVICES No additional impact to City services is anticipated with the modification. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION This site has always been an extremely challenging one. The Comprehensive Plan calls for the eventual replacement of the existing "heavier" industrial uses along Military Highway with uses that are more compatible with surrounding residential neighborhoods. It is rare to find such a large piece of vacant property zoned 1-1 Light Industrial District adjacent to residentially zoned properties. As the 1-1 zoning is already in place, a variety of uses by right are permitted that may be objectionable when located adjacent to a residential neighborhood. Staff concluded in 2006 that of all of those permitted uses, one of the least intensive is that of bulk storage of automobiles. With the adherence of the approved conditions attached to the 2006 Conditional Use Permit, the operation should prove to be a better neighbor to the residential area than a number of uses allowed by -right on the site. EAGLE AUCTION, INC. D/B/A TIDEWATER AUTO AUCTION Agenda Item 10 Page 2 The conditions recommended with this modification mirror those approved in 2006 with the exception of the condition addressing outdoor lighting and a shift in the proposed building locations. The applicant has spent time with the surrounding property owners to explain the requests. According to the applicant's consultant, Old Dominion Lighting, the revised lighting plan is much improved in terms of energy consumption and light generation. The approved plan depicted 121 light poles with a total of 490 lamps that would generate 149,259 watts. The lights were to be pulse start metal halite fixtures that emit a bright white light. The revised proposal calls for only 20 light poles at 39 feet high and 1 pole at 30 feet high, the pole closest to the residential neighborhood to the east. The proposed 21 light poles will support 48 lamps that will generate 36,945 watts. These high pressure sodium fixtures are purported to emit a yellowish, less glaring light. The applicant has worked with the neighborhood on this request to modify the lighting plan as the potential for light pollution and negative impacts exists. The required buffering and screening will not change from that approved in 2006 and includes category VI and II landscaping, berming and fencing. Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. CONDITIONS 1. The site shall be developed and landscaped in substantial conformance with the plan entitled, "Layout Plan for Tidewater Auto Auction," prepared by MSA, P.C., dated 07/09/10, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Planning Department. 2.

KEMPSVILLE DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: December 7, 2010 ■ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to operate a religious facility within a portion of a building located in the 1-1 District. The applicant will lease 2,419 square feet of space within the building. The applicant indicates that the church currently occupies the space as they were initially unaware of the requirement for a Conditional Use Permit. Religious services are held on Sunday from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., bible study and prayer meetings are held on Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and youth/music ministries are held from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. The church currently has 25 members and hopes to grow to about 87 members pending approval of the Fire Marshall. ■ Considerations: Staff finds that the current site design, as well as the applicant's proposal, does not fit the vision for this area identified as the Central Village District of the Pembroke Growth Area 4 Implementation Plan (SGA 4). It is understood, however that plans calling for transformation as envisioned in the SGA 4 Implementation Plan take time to become reality, and uses such as the applicant's can continue in this area until market forces, private sector development trends and public policy create the energy necessary to redevelop this area. This proposed use is consistent with Pembroke Growth Area 4 Implementation Plan's goal of establishing mixed -uses and culturally -diverse uses in the district. At the time this application was submitted, the existing facility began to undergo exterior improvements. A new parapet was under construction with new signs for each suite. The existing facility is adequate to house the proposed religious use without negatively affecting the surrounding community. The site plan depicts 86 parking spaces. The Zoning Ordinance requires 5 cars for a religious use of 25 seats. The ultimate occupancy load of the 2,419 SF of the unit will be set by the Fire Marshall and the Building Official's office. As the Zion Temple Ministries COGIC Page 2 of 2 church grows, staff feels there will be adequate parking available on the site based on the fact that that a typical church has peak operational hours different from traditional business hours and that the 86 parking spaces located on the site are sufficient for this use and other uses within the complex. While the existing site and building is designed to suburban standards not consistent with all of the Comprehensive Plan recommendations, staff finds that the applicant's proposal is acceptable. Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below. There was no opposition to the request. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. The number of individuals attending anyone service shall not exceed the number Established by the City's fire Marshall. 2. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and inspections from the Planning Department/ Permits and Inspections Division and the Fire Department.

Vacant, office / B-2 Community Business District NATURAL RESOURCE AND There are no cultural features or significant natural resources associated CULTURAL FEATURES: with this site as it is almost entirely impervious. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as an Urban Area and within the Pembroke Strategic Growth Area 4 Implementation Plan (Pembroke SGA 4 Plan), Central Village District. This district is presently dominated by a wide range of light industrial uses, trade supply shops, auto - oriented businesses and commercial uses. The Pembroke SGA 4 Plan recommends that the Central Village District emerge as an eclectic, mid to low-rise mix of commercial and urban residential uses and a focus of social and economic activity with a diverse multicultural neighborhood and network of mixed-use, independent business. The area should further establish a number of civic and open gathering places including urban plazas and perks (pp. 2-18 to 2-20). A new defined urban street grid will make access to this district very fluid and allow its residents alternative means of circulation, and will transform the present street network, including Euclid Road. This site is also adjacent to Southern Boulevard, along which is proposed a linkage park that will connect the Renaissance Academy site to the west of Witchduck Road to the Thalia Creek Greenway. Open space is also proposed to the rear of this site. The Comprehensive Plan's Urban Area Design Guidelines state that quality landscaping is essential to the built urban environment. The corners of significant street intersections, gateways or site entries should be enhanced by special landscape treatments such as pavers, flowering plants, signage or decorative lighting. Site lighting should be designed to reduce light trespass and glare (p B-2, B-3). In order to achieve urban area design goals within reason given the future plans for this area, consideration should be given to conditions that would improve! the building, signage, site lighting and site landscaping as opportunities to do so by the property owner present themselves. CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Euclid Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a two-lane undivided minor urban arterial. It is not included on the Master Transportation Plan. Currently, this segment of roadway is functioning at a LOS C or better. A roadway Capital Improvement Program project is slated for this area. The Pembroke Area Transportation Improvements (CIP 2-109) will develop short-term, mid-term, and long-term alternatives for transportation needs in the Gentral Business District surrounding the Town Center. The project will be phased based on funding.

C a 7 Aw k 0 0 M CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: VIBRANT FUNDING, LLC, Conditional Use Permit, automobile museum, 410 18th Street (GPIN 2427076018). BEACH DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: December 07, 2010 ■ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site for an automobile museum. The applicant proposes to display British sports cars, vintage 1950's and 1960's, in a setting similar to other automobile museums found throughout the country. The applicant plans to display approximately 40 automobiles in the building. A gift shop will also be available. The submitted concept plan depicts a 10,893 square foot building and eight parking spaces. The building is built to the property lines along the front, east side, and rear. The building jogs in along the western side between five -feet and 35 -feet. The proposed parking spaces are angled for direct access upon entering the site; however the user would have to back down the length of the parking area to the street due to the angle of the parking. The City Zoning Ordinance, Section 203 (b), requires the following parking count for the proposed use: Museums and art galleries: Not less than ten (10) spaces and one additional space for each three hundred (300) square feet of floor area or fraction thereof in excess of one thousand (1,000) square feet. The proposed use will require a minimum of 41 parking spaces. As sufficient parking cannot be provided on the site, a variance to the required parking will be requ fired. The submitted floor plan depicts areas of vehicle display, a gift shop, restrooms, and an office. The submitted front elevation depicts a mural which mimics windows, a fagade treatment along the roof line, signage, and a covered entry. Additionally landscaping is depicted along the frontage. As the building exists at the front property line an encroachment agreement will be needed for the signage, covered entry, and landscaping. Vibrant Funding, LLC Page 2 of 4 ■ Considerations: The proposed use, an automobile museum, would provide another entertainment venue for visitors and residents at the Oceanfront. While the proposed use is off the beatEm path, visitors and residents alike could walk, bike, or drive to the facility. Due to the distance between the building and property line there does not appear to be any way the applicant could provide on-site parking. Asphalt currently exists along the frontage of the building and is used for parking. This area cannot be included as provided parking as the area exists in the public right-of-way and is not owned by the applicant. Staff does not feel that the parking spaces are usable in the current configuration. A city parking facility exists in the 200 block of 19th StreE;t. This would assist with the problematic lack of parking. The applicant will not bo able to operate the use without obtaining a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals to the parking requirements. The Resort Area Strategic Action Plan, adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan, acknowledges a traffic and parking management plan which calls for a centralized and shared parking strategy that reduces surface parking and concentrates traffic flow and maximizes traffic management, (p. 2-31). The proposed use has the potential to introduce more pedestrian activity along 18th Street, consistent with the plan's goals to encourage activities that develop synergies between the cultural and commercial life, the recreational and natural life, and an overall focus on drawing residents and visitors into the area (p. 2-28). The Resort Plan also identifies the need for streetscape improvements in the Central Beach area and transit use promotion (2-30). The Comprehensive Plan Reference Handbook states that development proposals in the Urban Areas should comply with "Special Area Development Guideline:". These guidelines provide specific site design guidance regarding locating buildings close to the pedestrian street with parking behind or beside the buildings. The site should be organized so that the buildings frame and reinforce pedestrian circulation (p. B-1 and B-2). The proposed site plan should address the guidelines by preventing parking from dominating the building frontage along 18th Street and by reinforcing pedestrian circulation along 18th Street. The 18th Street right-of-way abuts the front of the building and there is an existing asphalt parking area along this building frontage. Elimination of this parking area is recommended, replacing it with curb and gutter, landscape strip and sidewalk. The applicant's proposed improvements to the faga& of the building will add visual interest to an otherwise austere frontage. Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the following conditions. There was no opposition to the request. Vibrant Funding, LLC Page 3 of 4 ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 10-0-1, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall obtain a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals for the required parking before use of the building commences, a certificate of occupancy is obtained, and a business license is approved. 2. The applicant shall obtain any necessary encroachment agreements for improvements to the building and signage within the 18th Street right-of-way before any building permits are issued. 3. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and inspections and a Certificate of Occupancy for a change of use from the Permits and Inspections division of the Planning Department and the Fire Department. 4. The applicant shall eliminate the asphalt along the frontage of the site (within the 18th Street right-of-way) and install a five foot planting bed, commercial entrance, curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the frontage of the building as required by the Public Works Department, Traffic Engineering division. The required right- of-way improvements may be deferred pending development and re- development of Strategic Growth Area 8, 19th Street/ Central Beach District. When development / redevelopment occurs the applicant / property owner shall cost participate in the right-of-way improvements or the conditional use permit shall become void. 5. There shall not be parking permitted along the frontage of the site. The applicant shall post "No Parking" signs and shall provide some method, planters or bollards, to block the use of the asphalt for parking. 6. The front of the building shall be improved in accordance with the submitted elevation plan, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. The exterior of the building and proposed improvements shall be earth tone in color. Corporate primary color accents may be used. 7. The chain link fencing along the front of the site and the western and southern property lines shall be removed. ■ Attachments: Staff Review and Disclosure Statements Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Location Map Vibrant Funding, LLC Page 4 of 4 Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

LAND USE AND PLAN INFORMATION EXISTING LAI4D USE: The site is occupied by a block commercial building, typical of those constructed in the 1950's for industrial type uses, parking, and fencing.The existing building, built in 1955, was most recently used as a plumbing contractor's office.

The site is almost entirely impervious, covered by the building and parking. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as Strategic Growth Area 8, Resort Area. The Resort Area is recognized as an area where revitalization efforts are needed to transform the Resort Area into a major activity center, strengthen neighborhoods and increase economic growth. The Resort Area Strategic Action Plan adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan identifies pedestrian scaled mixed-use for this site. CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): 18th Street currently has a :sixty -foot right-of-way width, and is not shown on the City's Master Transportation Plan. Currently 18th Street is a two-lane local urban street. There are currently no capital improvement plan (CIP) projects scheduled for this portion of 18th Street. There is no appropriate trip generation data to mimic the type of use proposed with this application. However, Traffic Engineering does not anticipate that the number of trips will be substantial enough to cause concern based on the capacity of the surrounding street network. The entrance to the parking area shown on the submitted Concept Plan does not meet Public Works Standards. Commercial entrances require a minimum of thirty feet from the edge of pavement to the first interior drive aisle or parking space on site. There appears to be approximately eight feet as the plan currently shows. VIBRANT FUNDING,.:LLC Agenda Item 2 The existing asphalt parking in the front of the building will need to be removed, and right-of-way improvements, including but not necessarily limited to curb and gutter, will be required along the frontage of the site. TRAFFIC: Street Name Present Volume Present Capacity Generated Traffic 18 Street No counts 9,900 ADT Existing Land Use —561 available ADT (56 peak hour) Proposed Land Use 3— No data available for proposed use Average Daily Trips Y as defined by .344 acres of RT -3 Resort Tourist District WATER: This site must connect to City water. There is a 16 -inch City water main on 18th Street. The existing 5/8 -inch meter may be used or upgraded for the project. SEWER: This site is connected to City sanitary sewer.

BEACH DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: December 7, 2010 ■ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of the site for a nightclub / bar. The applicant proposes to develop the interior of the building with a restaurant section and performance venue area. The building is 8,325 square feet. The submitted floor plan depicts 3,050 square feet of the building devoted to the restaurant space. Another 1,155 square feet at the rear of the building facing 33rd Street is depicted as a dining terrace. The performance venue area is depicted as 3,818 square feet with the balance of the building area devoted to the kitchen and restrooms. The applicant does not plan to alter the exterior of the building except to clean the concrete panels, paint the brick veneer and the metal railing, and to add signage and brick planters along the front of the building, facing 32nd Street. The applicant does plan to remove the parking adjacent to 32nd Street in accordance with the Laskin Road Gateway Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project #2.143 and install an area in the shape of a "u" in the front of the building. The applicant also plans to restripe the rear parking area to provide for 26 parking spaces. This number may change slightly as the applicant plans to comply with the Traffic Engineering requirement that the driveway from 33rd Street shall be a minimum of 30 feet wide, provide a minimum curb radius of 15 feet, and allow 30 feet from the edge of pavement of 33rd Street to the first interior parking space. The proposed use requires a minimum of 83 parking spaces. While the parking lot will be striped to accommodate at least 20 vehicles the applicant believes he can valet park 40-50 vehicles on the site. The hours of operation will be daily 11:00.a.m. to 2:00 a.m. The restaurant will operate daily 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., when the entire operation will convert to a nightclub / bar and performance venue. Eden Ventures, LLC Page 2 of 5 ■ Considerations: The request is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for the Laskin Gateway District. The applicant proposes a quality restaurant and performance venue that will be complementary to the proposed Beach Centre and surrounding uses. The request furthers the goals of quality uses for visitors and locals alike within the Laskin Gateway. The applicant has worked with the Establishment Review Task Force; a group of City staff charged with reviewing and insuring uses such as these are compatible at the Oceanfront, to formulate a plan that will insure proper operation of the establishment. Staff and the applicant agreed upon Conditions 1-10 as means to provide a complementary use to the area. The proposed use requires a minimum of 83 parking spaces. While the parking lot will be striped to accommodate at least 20 vehicles the applicant believes he can valet park 40-50 vehicles on the site. While the site is deficient with regard to required parking, the applicant has several means to overcome this issue. First the applicant can apply for a variance i:o the Board of Zoning Appeals to allow a reduction in the number of required parking spaces, valet parking, and stacked parking on the site. The applicant has submitted a site plan that depicts stacked parking for 51 parking spaces. Valets would park the customer's vehicle at the rear of site, much as it is done in urban settings. Second, the applicant can acquire off-site parking and record an agreement in the Clerk of Courts office for those spaces. Third, the applicant could request a variance to the required number spaces and direct the customers to nearby parking garages and facilities. The applicant has been exploring all of these options and realizes he cannot begin operation of the business until the parking issues are satisfied. These options seem reasonable given the fact that parking garages exist at 31St Street and 34th Street. Section 1524-c-(3) of the Zoning Ordinance allows the use of public parking spaces, not being used to satisfy any other parking requirements, as long as the proposed use advances the goals and objectives of the RT -3 Resort Tourist District and the Oceanfront Resort Area Plan. Additionally the Laskin Road Gateway is to be developed with a coordinated transportation and retail strategy that encourages visitors and locals to park their vehicles and walk about the area. The applicant is also working with staff to eliminate the parking adjacent to 32nd Street and landscape the yard area. Public Works/CIP projects and Current Planning staff will assist the applicant with this issue. Staff finds the request to be acceptable and recommends approval with the following conditions. Eden Ventures, LLC Page 3 of 5 There was opposition to the request. ■ Recommendations: The Planning Commission, by a recorded vote of 5-5-1, was undecided and recommends further action of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. Performances shall be limited to inside the building. Doors and windows shall remain closed during performances except for necessary ingress and egress. The applicant may apply for a special event permit if there are any events proposed for outside of the building. 2.

The owner / management shall cooperate with any necessary investigations on site and in the building. Access to security tapes, if available, shall be provided upon request by the Police Department. 5. Security personnel shall be trained and certified by the Department of Criminal Justice, or some other security training approved by the Police Department. The Police department shall provide the owner / management the necessary information to obtain the required training. 6.

APPLICATION HISTORY: The applicant deferred the request at the October 13th Planning Commission meeting in order to work with staff regarding the parking spaces adjacent to 32nd Street and to provide surrounding residents additional information regarding the proposed operation. The applicant is working with staff to eliminate the parking spaces along 32"d Street to install curb, gutter, and sidewalk, and landscaping. Additionally, the applicant proposes installation of bicycle racks in the area. Staff has been copied on several electronic mail transmissions the applicant sent to surrounding neighbors explaining the proposed restaurant and performance venue. The applicant and staff met Monday, October 11th to discuss the following proposed conditions 14 and 15. 14. The applicant shall remove the parking spaces adjacent to 32nd Street in accordance with the Laskin Road Gateway Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project #2.143 plans. 15. The applicant shall restripe the rear parking area to provide for a minimum of 20 parking spaces. The driveway from 33rd Street shall be a minimum of 30 feet wide, to provide a minimum curb radii of 15 feet, and allow 30 feet from the edge of pavement of 33rd Street to the first interior parking space. With regard to Condition 14, staff strongly recommends the removal of the parking spaces adjacent to 33rd Street for the following reasons: The existing parking spaces along the front of the building maneuver directly into 32nd Street from the site. There is no drive aisle behind the spaces. The site is nonconforming with respect to the parking as it was constructed in 1957 as a post office. The property owner may maintain the site as it exists and another post office could occupy the site without making any changes to the current parking space configuration. As this request is considered a change of use and re- development of the site, the applicant must meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance pertaining to the positioning of parking spaces and drive -aisles: Article 2, Section 203(b) (6) Parking areas for three (3) or more automobiles shall have individual spaces marked, except in the case of parking for one- and two-family detached dwellings, and spaces shall be so arranged that no maneuvering directly incidental to entering or leaving a parking space shall be on any public street, alley, or walkway; This portion of 32nd Street has recently been improved in accordance with the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) #2.143. The roadway is being transformed from a two-lane street with parking on each side into a gateway roadway to the Oceanfront, four -lanes in width, without on - street parking, and an increased capacity to move 20,000 vehicles a day in and out of the Oceanfront. Allowing parking spaces to maneuver from the site directly into the roadway, without EDEN VENTURES, L.L.C. / THE RUNNYMEDE CORPORATION Agenda Item, 15 Page, 2 the benefit of a drive -aisle, is not in the best interest of the moving traffic on the roadway or the person in the vehicle. Staff and the applicant could not reach a consensus with regard to Condition 14. With respect to Condition 15, staff and the applicant agreed to the following changes: The applicant shall restripe the rear parking area to provide for a minimum of 20 parking spaces. The driveway from 33rd Street shall be a minimum of 24 feet wide, to provide a minimum curb radii of 15 feet, and allow 20 feet from the edge of pavement of 33rd Street to the first interior parking space. The applicant was deferred at the September 8, 2010 Planning Commission meeting so that staff and the applicant could work with the Establishment Review Task Force (ERTF). The ERTF met September 15th to discuss the proposed operation and to prepare recommendations for the Planning Commission to consider. The applicant was notified of the meeting and provided a copy of the recommendations for review. Staff and a representative of the ERTF met with the applicant September 28th to discuss the proposal and recommendations: 1. Performances shall be limited to inside the building. Doors and windows shall remain closed during performances except for necessary ingress and egress. 2. The owner / management shall allow necessary safety inspections to be performed on the site and in the building. 3. To facilitate enhanced communication the owner / management shall provide and maintain an e-mail address to the Police Department and Planning Department. 4. The owner / management shall cooperate with any necessary investigations on site and in the building. Access to security tapes shall be provided upon request by the Police Department. 5. Security personnel shall be trained and certified by the Department of Criminal Justice. The Police department shall provide the owner / management the necessary information to obtain the required training. 6. The owner/ management shall provide additional security measures during live performances. The Police department shall provide the necessary information for compliance with this condition. 7. The owner / management shall notify the Police and Planning Departments 48 hours before any special events, promotions, and or private parties. 8. The owner / management shall implement a procedure, identification scanners or some other form of identification check approved by the Police department, to identifying patrons that have been banned entry to the building. Information regarding those persons who have been banned from the premises shall be reported to the Police department. 9. Management and staff shall attend the Police department merchant training course. 10. If the owner / management decide to prohibit firearms within the establishment notification shall be posted at each entrance / exit. The applicant has been very cooperative and receptive to the recommendations. The applicant did ask for some minor changes to the wording of several of the recommendations and agreed to the incorporation of the recommendations as conditions of the use permit. LAND USE AND PLAN INFORMATION EXISTING LAND USE: The site is occupied by the previous Sea Pines Post Office. The structure was constructed in '1957 and is typical of the suburban style architecture of the 1950's and 1960's_ EDEN VENTURES, L.L.C. / THE RUNNYMEDE CORPORATION Agenda Item 15 Page 3 SURROUNDING LAND North: a 33rd Street USE AND ZONING: a Across 33rd Street are multi -family dwellings / A-12 and A-24 Apartment and RT -3 Resort Tourist South: . 32nd Street a Across 32nd Street are a variety of retail and restaurant uses, soon to be demolished and developed as Beach Centre / RT -3 Resort Tourist East: a Shopping Center and a vacant office building / RT -3 Resort Tourist West: . 7-11 Store and Post Office / RT -3 Resort Tourist NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is mostly impervious, covered by the building and parking areas. CULTURAL FEATURES: Small strips of grass exist along the east and west sides of the building. There are no significant natural resources associated with the site. There are no cultural features associated with the site. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as the Laskin Gateway District, one of three districts that are distinct and yet complementary to continue the revitalization efforts that have transformed the Resort Area into a major activity center, strengthened neighborhoods, and increased economic growth. The vision is for enhancing the area by extending the energy at the beach into these three distinct areas at the Laskin Gateway, Central Beach, and Rudee Marina. The Comprehensive Plan policies for the Laskin Gateway District also recommend that this corridor is a prime location for high end retail and tourist activities. The plan envisions a corridor with a coordinated transportation and retail strategy that gets people out of their cars and on foot in a village -like setting (p 2-28 to 2-32). The Comprehensive Plan Reference Handbook states that development proposals in the Urban Area should comply with the 'Special Area Development Guidelines'. These guidelines provide specific site and building design and architectural guidance for developments in the Urban Areas (p B-1 to B-6). CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): This site is located midblock on 32nd Street near Pacific Avenue, with additional vehicular access from 33rd Street. Currently, 32nd Street in front of this site is a four -lane local street with a sixty -foot (60') right-of-way width. The street is not shown on the City's Master Transportation Plan Map, but is currently undergoing construction as part of the Laskin Road Gateway Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project #2.143. 33rd Street is currently a two-lane local street with sixty -foot (60') right-of-way width and on -street parking, and no CIP projects are scheduled for this roadway. Traffic Engineering Comments: 1. 32nd Street is part of the Laskin Road Gateway CIP project currently underway. Laskin Road currently handles much of the east -west traffic headed to and from the oceanfront and / or the North End of Virginia Beach. As part of the CIP project, Laskin Road will be undergoing construction to be reduced from five lanes to two, with wide sidewalks and parallel parking constructed on either side -of the EDEN VENTURES, L.L.C. / THE RUNNYMEDE CORPORATION Agenda Item15 Page 4 roadway. Ultimately, 32nd Street is planned to serve (along with 30th Street) as one of the major east - west corridors to handle the vehicular traffic that will be displaced as a result of the Laskin Road reconstruction. Construction is underway that is expected to improve capacity along 32nd Street for this purpose. 2. As part of the reconstruction of 32nd Street, curb and gutter will be installed along the northern and southern edges of pavement, and concrete driveways will be built to City of Virginia Beach Public Works Standards for those sites that are affected. The existing concrete parking lot in the front of this site does not meet these standards, and the proposed parallel parking spaces shown on the exhibit will not be allowed. 3. The a --cess point off of 33rd Street is also required to be improved to meet City of Virginia Beach Public Works Standards for commercial entrances. As such, the driveway must be thirty feet (30') wide (minimum), provide minimum curb radii of fifteen feet (15'), and allow thirty feet (30') from the edge of pavement of 33rd Street to the first interior parking space. 4. Trip generation for the proposed use and floor plan shown on the exhibit entitled "PROPOSED FIRST FLOOR PLAN" indicates that the site will generate over one hundred trips during the PM peak hour of traffic, which is less than the City of Virginia Beach threshold of 150 trips that would trigger the requirement of a traffic impact study. In addition, the improvements to 32nd Street should satisfactorily provide capacity for the vehicular trips to the site. TRAFFIC: Street Name Present Volume Present Capacity Generated Traffic 32n Street 29,900 ADT 20,700 ADT Existing Land Use —1,126 ADT (124 Peak Hour) Proposed Land Use 3- 1,135ADT 109 Peak Hour Average Daily Trips s as defined by .69 acre of RT -3 Resort Tourist District s as defined by a restaurant of 187 seats and 5,300 square feet of nightclub / bar area WATER and SEWER: This site must connect to City water. There is an 8 -inch City water line in both 32 n Street and 33'° Street. This site is connected to City sanitary sewer. FIRE: The site must comply with all Building Code requirements pertaining to Restaurants / Nightclubs. ESTABLISHMENT REVIEW TASK FORCE: The CUP request has been reviewed by the Task Force and discussed at the beginning of this report under the section Application History. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION The request is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for the Laskin Gateway District. The applicant proposes a quality restaurant and performance venue that will be complementary to the proposed Beach Centre and surrounding uses. The request furthers the goals of quality uses for visitors and locals alike within the Laskin Gateway. EDEN VENTURES, L.L.C. / THE RUNNYMEDE CORPORA Agenda Ite P ON 15 e5 The applicant has worked with the Establishment Review Task Force; a group of City staff charged with reviewing and insuring uses such as these are compatible at the Oceanfront, to formulate a plan that will insure proper operation of the establishment. Staff and the applicant agreed upon Conditions 1-10 as means to provide a complementary use to the area. The proposed use requires a minimum of 83 parking spaces. While the parking lot will be striped to accommodate at least 20 vehicles the applicant believes he can valet park 40-50 vehicles on the site. While the site is deficient with regard to required parking, the applicant has several means to overcome this issue. First the applicant can apply for a variance to the Board of Zoning Appeals to allow a reduction in the number of required parking spaces, valet parking, and stacked parking on the site. The applicant has submitted a site plan that depicts stacked parking for 51 parking spaces. Valets would park the customer's vehicle at the rear of site, much as it is done in urban settings. Second, the applicant can acquire off-site parking and record an agreement in the Clerk of Courts office for those spaces. Third, the applicant could request a variance to the required number spaces and direct the customers to nearby parking garages and facilities. The applicant has been exploring all of these options and realizes he cannot begin operation of the business until the parking issues are satisfied. These options seem reasonable given the fact that parking garages exist at 31 st Street and 34th Street. Section 1524-c-(3) of the Zoning Ordinance allows the use of public parking spaces, not being used to satisfy any other parking requirements, as long as the proposed use advances the goals and objectives of the RT -3 Resort Tourist District and the Oceanfront Resort Area Plan. Additionally the Laskin Road Gateway is to be developed with a coordinated transportation and retail strategy that encourages visitors and locals to park their vehicles and walk about the area. The applicant is also working with staff to eliminate the parking adjacent to 32nd Street and landscape the yard area. Public Works/CIP projects and Current Planning staff will assist the applicant with this issue. Staff finds the request to be acceptable and recommends approval with the following conditions. CONDITIONS 1. Performances shall be limited to inside the building. Doors and windows shall remain closed during performances except for necessary ingress and egress.

MEETING DATE: December 7, 2010 ■ Background: On March 9, 2010, City Council amended the City Zoning Ordinance by adding Section 211.1 which allows not -for- profit cultural, literary, scientific and artistic establishments to apply for roadside guide signs to be placed in the city right-of- way directing patrons to their establishment. First Landing Foundation operates the Historic Villages at Cape Henry, which opened in 2007 and includes an authentic 17th century Colonial Outpost and an American Indian Village. Additionally, on Thursday and Saturday evenings, the original live outdoor play, "1607: First Landing," is performed on an outdoor stage. All activities are open to the public during the summer months and to groups by appointment throughout the year. This is a request by the First Landing Foundation to erect five roadside guide signs; one sign on Shore Drive approximately 3.1 miles west of the site, two signs at the intersection of Shore Drive/Atlantic Avenue and 83`d Street, one sign at Atlantic Avenue and 21St Street and the fifth sign at Atlantic Avenue and 25th Street. ■ Considerations: The applicant has submitted a drawing of the proposed roadside guide sign. The sign does not meet the requirements of Section 211.1 and the applicant is designing a new sign with simpler graphics and the standard brown background with white lettering. Maps showing the five desired sign locations have also been submitted by the First Landing Foundation. Five signs are proposed as shown on the attached maps. Staff notes that Section 211.1(d) of the Zoning Ordinance allows no more than three roadside guide signs per establishment except where City Council Roadside Guide Signs Page 2 of 3 finds that three signs are insufficient to provide motorists with adequate guidance to the establishment. ■ Recommendations: The Traffic Engineer and Planning Staff have reviewed the request and inspected the proposed locations. Staff, concerned about the number of signs along City roads, would like to reduce the number of roadside guide signs for this use to three. It is recommended that two signs be permitted at the intersection of Shore Drive and 83rd Street, allowing one for each direction at this key intersection on the route to Cape Henry. Staff concludes that the third sign would be most helpful to patrons at the intersection of 21St Street and Pacific Avenue directing traffic to the north. Staff advises that a precedent not be established to allow more than three signs per organization due to concerns about a proliferation of such signs and potential conflicts with public safety signs. Staff discussed the recommended reduction to three signs with the applicant. The First Landing Foundation feels that because their location on the military base is so challenging to find, all five guide signs are needed and they would like to move forward and present their plan for five signs to the City Council. Staff recommends that the City Council approve three sign locations subject to the conditions listed below; Three roadside guide signs are approved as follows; a. Two signs at the intersection of Shore Drive and 83rd Street to direct traffic moving in both directions to go north. b. One sign at the intersection of 21St Street and Pacific Avenue directing patrons traveling east off the Expressway to head north on Pacific. The general location of these signs is shown in red as "Staff Recommended Sign Location" on the attached map labeled, "First Landing Foundation." 2. Prior to installation of any roadside guide sign, the applicant shall meet with the Traffic Engineer or his designee to determine exact locations and avoid conflicts with any existing signs. The signs must be made and installed by the applicant in compliance with all conditions. 3. Prior to erecting any sign, the First Landing Foundation shall provide Public Works, Real Estate with a copy of a liability insurance policy naming the City as co-insured on the policy for the signs. 4. Sign and sign post materials shall meet specifications in the Public Works Standards for use in the public right-of-way. Please contact the Traffic Engineer with any questions regarding the requirements. Roadside Guide Signs Page 3 of 3 5. The roadside guide signs for the First Landing Foundation must meet all requirements of Section 211.1 and the design must be approved by Traffic Engineering. The submitted sign elevation submitted by the applicant is not acceptable. 6. The signs shall be installed with a maximum height of 9.5' above ground level and shall have a minimum clearance of seven feet. 7. The First Landing Foundation shall maintain the signs in good condition at all times. Any sign not in good condition shall be subject to removal and disposal by the Department of Public Works. 8. The Department of Public Works may relocate any sign if necessary to accommodate public signage requirements. ■ Attachments: Location Map Letter from First Landing Foundation Applicant's Maps and Sign Disclosure Statement Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval of three roadside guide signs for the First Landing Foundation. 1 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ROADSIDE GUIDE 2 SIGNS FOR THE FIRST LANDING FOUNDATION, 3 LOCATED AT THE HISTORIC VILLAGES AT CAPE 4 HENRY, JOINT EXPEDITIONARY BASE LITTLE CREEK - 5 FORT STORY(BEACH AND LYNNHAVEN DISTRICTS) 6 7 WHEREAS, the First Landing Foundation, (hereinafter the "Applicant), located at 8 the Historic Villages at Cape Henry, Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek -Fort Story 9 (Beach and Lynnhaven Districts), is an establishment operated exclusively for cultural 10 and artistic purposes on a not-for-profit basis; and 11 12 WHEREAS, the Applicant has requested that it be allowed to erect five (5) 13 roadside guide signs in the public rights-of-way along Atlantic Avenue and Shore Drive 14 in order to provide directions to the First Landing Foundation for the benefit of motorists 15 unfamiliar with its location; and 16 17 WHEREAS, the City Council finds that three (3) roadside guide signs are 18 sufficient to provide motorists with adequate guidance to the First Landing Foundation; 19 20 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 21 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 22 23 That the placement of roadside guide signs by the Applicant is hereby 24 authorized, upon the following conditions: 25 26 1.
