CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Approving and Adopting a Revised City Council Policy Pertaining
to Rental of Surreys in the Resort Area
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background: On May 10, 2005, City Council adopted a policy, "Rental of
Surreys in the Resort Area," regulating the operation of four -wheeled surrey bicycles at
the Oceanfront ("Policy"). The intent of the Policy was to protect the public safety and to
ensure orderly use of public recreational facilities. The Policy specifies where surreys
can be rented, the number of surreys that can be rented at each location, and provides
restrictions on rentals from businesses located west of Atlantic Avenue.
Specifically, the Policy prohibits granting permits for surreys rented from businesses
located west of Atlantic Avenue, but grandfathers persons who owned or managed a
business, located west of Atlantic Avenue, that owned surrey rentals as of the date of
adoption of the Policy. The Policy further provides that the right to rent surreys from a
business located west of Atlantic Avenue is not transferrable to subsequent owners,
operators, or businesses. The Policy does not prohibit the transfer of permits when a
grandfathered owner, operator or business, located west of Atlantic Avenue, relocates
its business to a new location west of Atlantic Avenue.
■ Considerations: The Strategic Growth Area Office ("SGAO") has received
several requests from grandfathered surrey rental businesses located west of Atlantic
Avenue to relocate and transfer their permits to new locations west of Atlantic Avenue.
SGAO is of the opinion that the intent of the original Policy was to prohibit such
transfers.
■ Recommendations: Revise the Policy to prohibit the transfer of existing surrey
permits from a grandfathered business located west of Atlantic Avenue to the same
grandfathered business when said business relocates to a new physical location west of
Atlantic Avenue. This action is consistent with the original intent of the Policy. The
Resort Advisory Committee unanimously endorsed the proposed Policy revision at their
meeting on November 4, 2010.
■ Public Information: Additional information will be provided to the public through
the normal agenda process.
■ Attachments: Ordinance and Revised City Council Policy
Recommended Action: Approve ordinance

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM ,
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate Funds to the FY 2010-11 Operating Budget of the
Office of the City Treasurer for Postal Service Charges
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background: The postal service remains the primary mechanism through which
the City Treasurer distributes bills and notices. In preparing the FY 2010-11 Operating
Budget, the postal service account was reduced in order to meet the budgetary goals.
The cut was too drastic, and there is now a need to reinstate $193,000 to cover the
postage expenses projected through the remainder of this fiscal year. Revised
projections of revenues under the control of the Treasurer are expected to offset the
increase in appropriations.
■ Considerations: A current analysis of revenues has identified areas in the City
Treasurer's Budget that should exceed budget estimates. Fees collected through the
imposition of administrative fees on delinquent accounts are expected to generate
additional revenues. The additional $193,000 appropriation can be financed by a
corresponding increase in this revenue account, City Treasurer Charges. Additionally,
the Treasurer has made use of the Setoff Debt Collection program, which is expected to
generate revenue above the budget estimate. Also, a pilot program, involving the City
Treasurer and the Code Enforcement Unit of the Housing Neighborhood Preservation
Department is expected to generate about $70,000 this year.
■ Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council Agenda process.
■ Recommendations: Appropriate the additional funds with a corresponding
increase in estimated revenues.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $25,000 in Fund Balance from the City
Beautification Fund to the FY 2010-11 Operating Budget of the Department of
Parks and Recreation
MEETING DATE: March 8. 2011
■ Background: The City's Landscape Management Division accepts donations
from residents and organizations that wish to enhance the landscape plantings of public
property. Estimated donations (anticipated revenues) and the estimated accompanying
expenditures are recorded in the City Beautification Fund (#908) of the City Budget.
The FY 2010-11 Budget estimated $30,000 in donation revenue, and this amount was
appropriated.
The fund balance of the Beautification Fund includes donations from previous years that
exceeded budget estimates and resulted in fund balance. The current fund balance is
$42,525.
■ Considerations: To meet the beautification commitments associated with the
donations, including the expansion of the Jaanese Garden, the Miyazaki Sister -City

SUBJECT: Use of 613 Internal Service Fund Net Assets for FY 2010-11
As you know, the year-end fund balance for 11049 - Grounds Services accumulates in a 613
Internal Service Fund account at the end of each fiscal year. The fund balance is made up
largely of salary and fringe benefits surpluses at the end of each fiscal year due to vacancies
throughout the year in Grounds Services. We are requesting your approval to use $636,500
from the net assets in the 613 Internal Service Fund to pay for some specific projects and
equipment replacements that we cannot afford to do otherwise in FY 10-11. The specific
requests and amounts are listed below:

Below is a brief explanation of the projects:
Phase I of the five-year safety surface replacement program began in 2010. Ten
elementary school sites have been addressed thus far and two more are scheduled for
completion later this spring. Phase I I addresses 12 more elementary school
playgrounds. The removal and replacement of playground base materials and
engineered wood fiber will help to assure that safety requirements are maintained while
prolonging the life expectancy of the toy structure.
The playground at Fairfield Elementary School is located in a low lying field. Severe
flooding results during rain events. The surfacing material is in constant disarray and
adequate levels are difficult to maintain. The toy is beyond its life expectancy and in
need of replacement as well. The estimated replacement cost is based on current pricing
for new playground construction. Funding of the relocation and toy will eliminate the
flooding and make for a safer, enjoyable, useful play experience and environment.
• All vehicles and equipment listed have met mileage and service requirements
established by the City's Automotive Services Division for replacement and are essential
to our operation. Funding will reduce repair costs, minimize downtime, and help to
ensure effective service delivery.
As noted previously, we are recommending that funding be utilized from the 613 Internal
Service Fund. In lieu of Internal Service funding, the alternatives are either delaying these
projects and replacements until they can be funded through the normal budget process or that
no funding be provided. We feel that these two alternatives, especially providing no funding, will
result in deficiencies at a number of school sites. We have also proposed some of the safety
improvements previously in the budget process, but due to competing priorities have been
unable to secure -funding.
We look forward to your favorable response. Please feel free to contact me should you need
more information or clarification to evaluate these requests.

SUBJECT: Explanation of Internal Service Fund Net Assets Request for FY 2010-11
As requested, below is more detailed information concerning our February 1, 2011, year-end fund
balance request for 11049 - Grounds Services. The current request includes $186,000 for playground
surfacing renovations at 12 elementary schools. The engineered wood fiber surfacing in these
playgrounds has deteriorated and become compacted overtime and is now below national safety
standards. In addition to removing and replacing the engineered wood fiber, this contract also includes
improvements to the timber borders and underdrain systems and ensures the best possible ADA
accessibility to the playground equipment. This work is part of a five-year plan to address safety and
ADA needs for all 75 playgrounds at elementary schools. Playgrounds contracted for last year (five
remaining to be completed by April 1) and those proposed for the next round are listed below.

Memorandum to John Kalocay
Page 2
February 14, 2011
in addition to the playground surfacing renovations, we also intend to relocate and replace the entire
playground at Fairfield Elementary. The current playground is in a poor location on the site and is
subject to flooding during even minor rain events. This severely limits its use and has been an ongoing
problem since the playground was first installed about 15 years ago. Many remedies, including site
grading and dry wells, have been tried, but all with little success in solving the problem. With input from
Fairfield Elementary administration, the new playground will be installed in a better location on the
school property and will include better ADA accessibility.
Our fund balance request for FY 2014-2011 also includes $402,500 for vehicle and equipment
replacements. None of the equipment assigned to 11049 is in the City's replacement program, so we
have been replacing these assets through fund balance requests since 2005. With the exception of the
Traffic lane Painter, all vehicles and equipment on the list were suggested by Automotive Services as
meeting their criteria for replacement either by age, mileage or cumulative cost for repairs exceeding
replacement value. Explanations for the proposed equipment replacement requests follow:
(1) Pickup 4WD Ford F-450 Dual Rear Wheel to replace #141829
This truck is for the Schools Concrete/Asphalt/Storm Drain crew. They build asphalt walkways for
portables, ADA ramps and sidewalks, and repair storm drain cave-ins and infrastructure at schools.
Four wheel drive is needed because this truck is frequently used to pull a trailer with forms and
equipment off the pavement to problem areas on the school sites. It replaces a service van with over
108,000 miles on it.
(1) Mower TORO 4000D with Canopy to replace tractor #48899
This mower replaces the last of the old Schools tractors with a rear grass cutting flail. The tractor was
more than 20 years old and has already been surplussed by Automotive Services as not worth
repairing. The mower, which is 9' wide, wilt be used by our Schools mowing units.
(1) Trailer, 20 -ton capacity 28 foot with Seaver Tall to replace #068151
This trailer is more than 20 years old, and is used by our Schools Sports Field/Irrigation unit for
hauling backhoes, tractors and implements to school sites, mainly for athletic field maintenance,
grading and renovation. It has reached the end of its useful life and will be replaced with a
comparable trailer.
(2) Truck 17,500 GVWR Crew Cab with Snow Plow and Salt Spreader to replace #140660.141317
These trucks are both small crew cab dump trucks, close to ten years old, which are now mainly used
in a support role when other Schools trucks are down for service or repairs. The older trucks get
rotated to this type of service before they are replaced. The replacements will be used by Schools
maintenance units, and the next oldest trucks will be rotated to the support fleet.
(9) Trailer, 14,000 GVW 22' Flat Bed with Tool Box to replace Trailers #146621,146622,146625,
146627 146628 146887 140928,140929,141314
Six of these trailers are enclosed cargo trailers used by the Schools maintenance units. The structural
frames of these trailers are failing, so we are replacing them with open, much more structural sound
trailers. Two of these trailers are already at Automotive Services being evaluated, and it is doubtful
we will get them back. The remaining three trailers are smaller open trailers, also used by schools
maintenance units, which have reached the end of their useful life. The replacement trailers are
designed to safely carry the load of our current mowing equipment.
Memorandum to John Kalocay
Page 3
February 14, 2011
(1) Traffic kine Painter to ER ace #120887
Although not flagged for replacement by Automotive Services, this Traffic Line Painter is used by our
Schools Traffic/Signage unit to perform parking lot maintenance at schools. Most of the repairs of
this unit over the years have been performed by Schools mechanics. The unit being replaced is over
1S years old and has had the air compressor and paint tank replaced several times.
(4) Trailer, 8 VW 16' Flat Bed to replace Trailers #120868.14_0871,141886._141315
These trailers are small open trailers that have reached the end of their useful lives. Two are used by
Schools mowing units, one is used by the Schools Trafflc/Signage unit, and the last is used by the
Schools Fence/Welding unit to haul materials, such as gates.
(4) Hustler 72" Riding Mowers to replace TORO Z -Mowers #165131 146832 165127 146305
All of these 72" mowers are used by Schools mowing units. They are being replaced due to meeting
the high usage hours and/or repair costs criteria. The replacement units also have rear discharge,
which is safer for use on school grounds.
I hope this information will be helpful. Please feel free to contact me should you need more information
or clarification to eva luate these requests.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate a Donation from the Lions Club to the
Library Gift Fund
MFFTIN[; DATE- March 8. 2011
■ Background: The National Library Service (NLS) for the Blind has developed a
new format for its talking books and playback machines. Books are recorded on flash
drives encased in plastic "cartridges" that allow users with impaired vision or other
disabilities to handle them easily. The new format is extremely popular with blind and
low vision customers, but the supply of digital titles from NLS is gradual and the demand
for books far exceeds the library's small collection. As an option, NLS has made over
20,000 digitally -recorded titles available online if the library obtains blank cartridges on
which to download them. Last year's purchase of blank cartridges, purchased with gift
funds, has proven the usefulness of the local download project, but the current supply of
blank cartridges is not sufficient to meet demand.
The Lions Clubs of Virginia Beach have joined together to raise funds for this download
project. Ten clubs and a private individual have donated $3,500, collectively. The Lions
Charity Foundation of District 24-D has added $2,000. The Lions Club's mission of
service to blind and low -vision individuals has led to their generosity in supporting the
library in serving this group of library users.
■ Considerations: The new cartridges will allow 450+ blind, low -vision individuals,
or physically disabled adults and children to have access to the titles available for
download from the NLS.
■ Public Information: Information will be disseminated through the regular City
Council agenda notification process. Eligible users will be notified of the availability of
this new format by the Friends of the Virginia Beach Public Library funded newsletter.
■ Recommendations: The Library Department recommends City Council approve
the ordinance to accept and appropriate $5,500.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate Donations to the Historic Houses Trust Fund in the
Operating Budget of the Department of Museums
MFFTING DATE: March 8. 2011
■ Background: The City of Virginia Beach acquired the historic Adam
Thoroughgood House from the City of Norfolk in September 2003. The Department of
Museums has pursued a number of research projects since the acquisition to learn
more about the history of the building and site. These projects have included an
archaeological assessment of the 4.29 acre site, dendrochronology studies to date the
wood in the Thoroughgood House and other surviving houses of similar age, and
documentary research of court records related to the Thoroughgood family. Some of
these studies indicate the possibility of an underground tunnel.
Paul Treanor, an Adam Thoroughgood descendant and family historian, is interested in
conducting archaeological excavations on the east side of the southeast corner of the
building. Mr. Treanor asked the Virginia Beach Department of Museums to approve an
archaeological project to investigate the area outside the Adam Thoroughgood House
where the supposed tunnel was located. The Department has given its approval
provided the work is conducted by a professional firm with experience doing prehistoric
and historic archaeology in Virginia.
■ Considerations: The Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) must
approve all projects that involve building maintenance, building or site changes, and/or
soil disturbance. The James River Institute for Archaeology, which oversaw the 2005
archaeological assessment at the Adam Thoroughgood House and has provided all
additional archaeological services for the site since, has provided a proposal for the
archaeological work near the southwest corner of the house to DHR for review and
approval. The project has been approved by DHR as submitted.
Mr. Treanor has solicited donations from other Thoroughgood descendants for the
professional archaeological excavations outside the east side of the southeast corner of
the Adam Thoroughgood House. Donations made to the City of Virginia Beach for this
purpose have totaled $2,865. The additional funding needed for the project is already
available in the Trust Fund.
■ Public Information: Information will be disseminated to the public through the
normal Council agenda process.
■ Alternatives: These donations were made by individuals to support
archaeological work at the Adam Thoroughgood House. The donated funds would have
to be returned if the work was not performed.
■ Recommendations: Appropriate $2,865 in donated funds to the Historic
Houses Trust Fund to conduct archaeological excavations at the Adam Thoroughgood
House.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: VIRGINIA BEACH FREEWILL BAPTIST CHURCH, Modification of a
Conditional Use Permit, 210 S. Witchduck Road (GPIN 1467729262). KEMPSVILLE
DISTRICT.
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background:
The church was built in 1970 but there is no record of any Conditional Use Permit at that
time. A Conditional Use Permit permitting a church expansion was approved by the City
Council on November 10, 1998 with four conditions. This expansion was built.
The following are the four conditions:
1. The proposed building must match the materials of the existing church to
the greatest extent possible.
2. All new lighting for the site must be directed in toward the site and designed
and installed so as to prevent glare into the adjacent residential area to the
south.
3. A right turn lane is required on South Witchduck Road for vehicles turning
right into this site. An option to the right turn lane is to close the entrance on
Witchduck Road and install another entrance on Grayson Road.
4. The site plan and rendering submitted with this request and on file with the
Planning Department shall be substantially adhered to.
Another Conditional Use Permit was approved for a childcare and education center
September 9, 2003. This request for the childcare and education center was approved
for a Modification of the Conditional Use Permit on March 9, 2004.The conditions
associated with the child care and education center are not impacted by this request for
a modification.
Condition 4 references a site plan and rendering of the property and is requested for
modification to allow the addition of the existing structure shown on a revised site plan.
The rendered elevation does not depict this area for expansion and does not need to be
revised. All previously applied conditions shall remain.
■ Considerations:
This proposed expansion to an established religious use is consistent with the land use
principles of the Comprehensive Plan. The church is a complementary transition from
the more urban uses along Witchduck Road, near the 1-264 interchange, into lower
intensity office and residential uses.
As this is a particularly visible site with abundant street frontage immediately adjacent to
the Pembroke SGA, particular attention should be paid to its appearance. The building
Virginia Beach Free Will Baptist Church
Page 2 of 2
addition is to be compatible in design, materials and color to the existing building. If site
improvements necessitate redesign of the stormwater management, the new system
should double as an open space or landscape amenity.
Additional plant materials along Grayson Road and South Witchduck should meet or
exceed street frontage and foundation planting requirements. Where possible on church
property, supplement and maintain the landscaping along the residentially zoned
properties to the south to buffer from the parking area.
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:
All conditions with the exception of Number 4 attached to the Conditional Use
Permit granted by the City Council on November 10, 1998 remain in affect.
2. Condition Number 4 of the November 10, 1998 Conditional Use Permit is
deleted and replaced with the following:
The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted
"Site development Plan of Virginia Beach Free Will Baptist Church" Sheet 3 of
7 dated 03/31/99, revised 06/13/01, stamped 12/02/2010 and prepared by
John E. Sirine & Associates, Ltd . Said plan have been exhibited to the
Virginia Beach City council and are on file in the Planning Department.
3. Provide additional planting materials along Grayson and South Witchduck to
meet street frontage and foundation planting requirements.

NATURAL RESOURCE AND The majority of the site is impervious as it is developed with a structure
CULTURAL FEATURES: and parking lot. There are no significant natural resources or cultural
features associated with this site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Suburban Area, immediately adjacent to the Pembroke
Strategic Growth Area. The Plan recognizes the primacy of preserving and protecting the overall character,
economic value, and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods of our community, including non-residential
areas that make up the Suburban Area. The goal of preserving neighborhood quality requires all new
development proposals to either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with
surroundings, quality and attractiveness of the site and buildings, and improved mobility. (pp. 3-1 and 3-2)
Special Area Development Guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan Reference Handbook provide design
guidance for suburban uses in terms of access and circulation, parking areas, landscaping, stormwater
management features, and building design. (p. B-7)
Non-residential uses that adjoin areas planned for residential use in the Suburban Area should employ
effective landscape design techniques, including the placement of appropriate plant materials to buffer or
screen such uses. Whenever possible, stormwater retention and detention systems are encouraged to be
designed as open space or landscape amenities. (p. B-9)

MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): S Witchduck
Road in the vicinity of this application is currently a four -lane divided minor urban arterial. The number of
lanes will increase to six lanes once the CIP project is complete. The Master Transportation Plan proposes an
eight -lane facility within a 165 foot right-of-way. Currently, this segment of roadway is functioning over
capacity at a LOS F.
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 Central Business District surrounding the Town Center. The project will be phased based on
funding.
There are two other roadway Capital Improvement Program projects slated for this area. Witchduck Road —
Phase I (CIP2-931) is currently under construction for a six -lane divided roadway on a 170 foot right-of-way
from 1-264 to Bonney Road. No significant changes to the site layout and right-of-way are proposed.
Greenwich Road/Cleveland Street Crossover (CIP2-401) will realign Greenwich Road and connect it to
Cleveland Street by a bridge structure over 1-264. Improvements to the Greenwich Road/Witchduck Road
intersection are anticipated.

■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a modification of the proffer agreement to allow development
of a 7 -Eleven Convenience store, strip retail center, and gasoline pumps on an outparcel
of Courthouse Marketplace Shopping Center. The site is currently approved for the
development of a WaWa Convenience store and gasoline pumps.
The Conditional Rezoning from AG -1 and AG -2 Agricultural and B-1 Limited Business
District to B-2 Community Business District was approved by the City Council on June 8,
2004, and modified on March 27, 2007. The Conditional Rezoning has seven proffers:
1. When the Property is developed, the grocery store / retail facility shall be
developed and landscaped substantially as shown on the exhibits entitled (a)
"COURTHOUSE MARKETPLACE", dated 6/3/03, prepared by Engineering
Services, Inc., and (b) "PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT COURTHOUSE MARKET
PLACE, Virginia Beach, VA.", dated June 03, 2003, prepared by HBA which have
been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia
Beach Department of Planning (hereinafter referred to as the "Conditional Site
Plans"). A detailed landscape plan for the Property which is coordinated with the
Grantee's landscaping plans for Nimmo Parkway and Ferrell Parkway/Princess
Anne Road must be approved by the Planning Director prior to issuance of a
building permit. The landscape plan for the Property will require that at least thirty
percent (30%) of the new trees to be planted will be "evergreen" trees.
2. The Conceptual Site Plan depicts outparcels and illustrates a possible
development layout for each. In accordance with Section 1304 of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO), a General Certificate of
Appropriateness shall be obtained from the Department of Planning prior to
development of the Property. The General Certificate of Appropriateness may be
issued following review by the Historic Review Board of the architectural style and
building materials of the structures, the location, size, number and character of the
proposed signage, and the proposed exterior lighting arrangements. A site plan
and rendering(s) for any building(s) to be constructed on each outparcel depicted
on the Conceptual Site Plan must be approved by the Planning Director, prior to
issuance of a building permit. The Planning Director shall determine that each
7 -Eleven, Inc./Courthouse Marketplace Outparcels, LLC

building on an out parcel is appropriately oriented along the principal drive isles in
a manner that promotes a "main Street" atmosphere.
3. The architectural design and building materials of the grocery store / retail
structure to be constructed on the Property shall be substantially compatible with
the architectural style and materials depicted on the two (2) exhibits entitled
:PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT COURTHOUSE MARKETPLACE" dated June 3,
2003, prepared by HBA, which have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City
Council and are on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning
(hereinafter referred to as the "Elevation Plans").
4. When the Property is developed, no internally illuminated, building mounted
signage will be permitted. Outparcels, as depicted on the Conceptual Site Plan
shall be restricted to building mounted signs only. The only freestanding signage
permitted on the Property, shall be one along the frontage of Ferrell
Parkway/Princess Anne Road and one along the frontage of Nimmo Parkway.
5. The following uses shall not be permitted on the Property: automobile repair
facilities, automobile service stations, bingo halls, car wash facilities, flea markets,
heliports and helistops, mini -warehouses, motor home sales and motor vehicle
sales and rentals. In addition, on Outparcels designated "1" and "2" on the
Conceptual Site Plan, no drive through uses shall be permitted. On the Outparcel
designated "3", no drive through associated with a restaurant shall be permitted.
6. When the Property is developed, a public use, ingress/egress easement shall
be dedicated over the two drive aisles/access roads which traverse the Property
perpendicular to Nimmo Parkway curb cuts on Nimmo Parkway to the
northwestern boundary line of the Property, as depicted on the Conceptual Site
Plan, from the eastern most drive aisle, subject to the owner(s) of Lot 16 and Lot
22A executing a reasonable shared maintenance agreement with the Party of the
First Part which reflects a reasonable sharing of construction and maintenance

The property owner requested and approved for a modification of proffers on March 27,
2007 to allow development of the out parcels with a WaWa Convenience store and
gasoline pumps and a drive-through associated with a restaurant. Proffer 2 referenced
the conceptual site plan, which depicted the possible development layout for each
outparcel. Proffer 5 limited the proposed uses on the outparcels, and limited drive-
through uses to Outparcels 1 and 2, and did not permit drive-through uses in conjunction
with a restaurant on Parcel 3. The proffers were modified to the following:
PROFFER 1:
Proffer number "2" in the 2003 Proffers is amended to read: The Conceptual Site Plans

character of the proposed signage, and the proposed exterior lighting arrangements. A
site plan and rendering(s) for any building(s) to be constructed on each outparcel
depicted on the Conceptual Site Plan must be approved by the Planning Director, prior
to the issuance of a building permit. The Planning Director shall determine that each
building on an outparcel is appropriately oriented along the principal drive aisles in a
manner that promotes a "main street" atmosphere.
PROFFER 2:
Proffer numbered "5" in the 2003 Proffers is amended to read: The following uses shall

COURTHOUSE MARKET PLACE, Virginia Beach, VA.", dated June 03, 2003, prepared by HBA
which have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia
Beach Department of Planning (hereinafter referred to as the "Conditional Site Plans"). A detailed
landscape plan for the Property which is coordinated with the Grantee's landscaping plans for
Nimmo Parkway and Ferrell Parkway/Princess Anne Road must be approved by the Planning
Director prior to issuance of a building permit. The landscape plan for the Property will require
that at least thirty percent (30%) of the new trees to be planted will be "evergreen" trees.
2. The Conceptual Site Plan depicts outparcels and illustrates a possible development layout for
each. In accordance with Section 1304 of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO), a
General Certificate of Appropriateness shall be obtained from the Department of Planning prior to
development of the Property. The General Certificate of Appropriateness may be issued following
review by the Historic Review Board of the architectural style and building materials of the
structures, the location, size, number and character of the proposed signage, and the proposed
exterior lighting arrangements. A site plan and rendering(s) for any building(s) to be constructed
on each outparcel depicted on the Conceptual Site Plan must be approved by the Planning
Director, prior to issuance of a building permit. The Planning Director shall determine that each
building on an out parcel is appropriately oriented along the principal drive isles in a manner that

3. The architectural design and building materials of the grocery store / retail structure to be
constructed on the Property shall be substantially compatible with the architectural style and
materials depicted on the two (2) exhibits entitled :PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT COURTHOUSE
MARKETPLACE" dated June 3, 2003, prepared by HBA, which have been exhibited to the
Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning
(hereinafter referred to as the "Elevation Plans").
4. When the Property is developed, no internally illuminated, building mounted signage will be
permitted. Outparcels, as depicted on the Conceptual Site Plan shall be restricted to building
mounted signs only. The only freestanding signage permitted on the Property, shall be one along
the frontage of Ferrell Parkway/Princess Anne Road and one along the frontage of Nimmo
Parkway.
5. The following uses shall not be permitted on the Property: automobile repair facilities, automobile
service stations, bingo halls, car wash facilities, flea markets, heliports and helistops, mini -
warehouses, motor home sales and motor vehicle sales and rentals. In addition, on Outparcels
designated 1" and "2" on the Conceptual Site Plan, no drive through uses shall be permitted. On
the Outparcel designated "3", no drive through associated with a restaurant shall be permitted.
6. When the Property is developed, a public use, ingress/egress easement shall be dedicated over
the two drive aisles/access roads which traverse the Property perpendicular to Nimmo Parkway
curb cuts on Nimmo Parkway to the northwestern boundary line of the Property, as depicted on
the Conceptual Site Plan, from the eastern most drive aisle, subject to the owner(s) of Lot 16 and
Lot 22A executing a reasonable shared maintenance agreement with the Party of the First Part
which reflects a reasonable sharing of construction and maintenance costs for the drive aisles
and associated landscaping.
7. Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed Site Plan review and
administration of all applicable City Codes by all cognizant City agencies and departments to
meet all applicable City Code requirements.
The property owner requested and approved for a modification of proffers on March 27, 2007 to allow
development of the out parcels with a WaWa Convenience store and gasoline pumps and a drive-through
associated with a restaurant. Proffer 2 referenced the conceptual site plan, which depicted the possible

development layout for each outparcel. Proffer 5 limited the proposed uses on the outparcels, and limited
drive-through uses to Outparcels 1 and 2, and did not permit drive-through uses in conjunction with a
restaurant on Parcel 3. The proffers were modified to the following:
PROFFER 1:
Proffer number "2" in the 2003 Proffers is amended to read: The Conceptual Site Plans depict outparcels
and illustrate a possible development layout for each. With respect to Outparcels numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4,
the possible development layout for each is hereby modified by the "Conceptual Site Layout & Landscape
Plan of WAWA AT COURTHOUSE CENTER", dated 05/01/06, prepared by MSA, P.C. (hereinafter
referred to as the "Modified Partial Conceptual Site Plan"), which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach
City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning. In accordance with Section
1304 of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO), a General Certificate of Appropriateness shall be
obtained from the Department of Planning prior to development of the Property. The General Certificate
of Appropriateness may be issued following review by the Historic Review Board of the architectural style
and building materials of the structures, the location, size, number and character of the proposed
signage, and the proposed exterior lighting arrangements. A site plan and rendering(s) for any building(s)
to be constructed on each outparcel depicted on the Conceptual Site Plan must be approved by the
Planning Director, prior to the issuance of a building permit. The Planning Director shall determine that
each building on an outparcel is appropriately oriented along the principal drive aisles in a manner that
promotes a "main street" atmosphere.

remain in force and effect, running with the Property and binding upon the Property and upon all parties
and persons claiming under, by or through the Grantor, its heir, personal representatives, assigns,
tenants, and other successors in interest or title.
The applicant and the property owner are requesting a modification to Proffers 2 and 4 to allow a strip
retail center, 7 -Eleven Convenience store and gasoline pumps. Again the proposed layout of the out
parcels may change with future development.
The western portion of the site contains the main retail center and several freestanding buildings. This
part of the center is designed following the grid pattern established within the existing municipal center

complex. The main retail center is designed with projections and recesses and varying facades and
rooflines that will invoke a "main street' atmosphere. There is a wide sidewalk provided along the front of
the main retail center that could include outdoor cafes, seating areas and landscaping. The walkway itself
is designed with brick paver accents to define cafe areas and store entrances.
The submitted site development plan depicts a 7 -Eleven convenience store, a canopy with four fueling
stations, and a future retail area. Nineteen parking spaces, future parking, and landscaping are also
depicted on the plan. Access to the site is via the internal roads in the shopping center. Pedestrian
access to the site will be via defined sidewalks to the shopping center and the adjacent roadways. A

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan considers the subject parcel as being within the Historic Princess Anne Center, a
subarea of Princess Anne Commons. It is not the intent of the Comprehensive Plan for this area to become
part of the urban area north of the Green Line. Instead, the general goals for the land uses of this area are to
encourage quality -planned development of a mix of public and private uses while designing with nature and
providing exceptional open spaces. These goals include major transportation projects such as the widening of
Princess Anne Road and the connection of Nimmo Parkway to General Booth Boulevard. Both are major
roadways and integral parts of the City transportation system. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes that, when
completed, Nimmo Parkway will be the major east -west arterial roadway in this area. (p. 4-1, 4-3)
CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Princess Anne
Road adjacent to the site is a two-lane undivided suburban major arterial. The Princess Anne Road Phase IV
(CIP 2.305) project is underway to widen Princess Anne Road to a divided four -lane section with multi -use
7; -ELEVEN,

paths. Completion of this VDOT-administered project is scheduled for June 5, 2014.
Nimmo Parkway adjacent to the site is a four -lane divided suburban major arterial that currently terminates at
Princess Anne Road. The Princess Anne Road Phase IV (CIP 2.305) project will extend Nimmo Parkway to
Holland Road, and this segment of the project is anticipated to be complete by November 2011. Nimmo
Parkway will be further extended to General Booth Boulevard by the Nimmo Parkway Phase V-A (CIP 2.121)
project, which is scheduled to be advertised for bids in July 2011.
The site is located on an outparcel of the Courthouse Marketplace shopping center. The approved Traffic
Impact Study (TIS) for Courthouse Marketplace did not anticipate a gas station with convenience store
outparcel; however, in 2007 the City Council approved a conditional use permit for a Wawa gas station and
convenience store at this application's subject site. That approved permit was for a gas station with sixteen
fueling positions; this application is for a gas station with eight fueling positions. Thus, while the current
proposal represents an increase in traffic compared to the approved TIS, it will be a reduction in traffic from the
previously -approved gas station permit. The subject outparcel does not have direct access to any public street.
Through the Courthouse Marketplace shopping center, there are two direct access points to Nimmo Parkway.
There is also an approved right -in only access point on Princess Anne Road that has not yet been connected
to Princess Anne Road.
The approved Courthouse Marketplace TIS stipulated that if a traffic signal were to become warranted at either
access point on Nimmo Parkway, this signal would be installed at the western entrance which is the
intersection of Nimmo Parkway and George Mason Drive. Additionally, the median opening at the eastern
entrance (closest to the subject site) would be closed to eliminate left -turn movements. These measures are a
Public Works requirement because signalization of the eastern entrance would cause major operational
problems for Nimmo Parkway.
A full traffic signal surety has been posted by the Harris Teeter, Sun Trust Bank, and Wendy's in Courthouse
Marketplace for the signal that will be installed at the Nimmo Parkway/George Mason Drive intersection if a
traffic signal becomes warranted. Traffic Engineering requested extension of this surety in March 2010. As
with the Wawa before it, the 7-11 will be required at site plan submittal stage to bond for the cost of roadway
improvements required to close the median crossing on Nimmo Parkway at the easternmost entrance to
Courthouse Marketplace opposite the judicial Center. The bond will be called if a traffic signal is warranted and
is built at the Nimmo Parkway/George Mason Drive intersection.
A right -in -only access point for Courthouse Marketplace on Princess Anne Road was approved but never
completed. Completion of this access point will be part of the Princess Anne Road Phase IV (CIP 2.305)
project. The conceptual site layout submitted for 7-11 shows the 7-11 accessing the private access street from
Princess Anne Road into Courthouse Marketplace. Be advised that this is a one-way street that will allow left -
turns into the 7-11 and out of the 7-11, but right -turns from 7-11 towards Princess Anne Road will never be
permitted.

SEWER: A variance was approved in March 2006 to allow any separately platted outparcel from Courthouse
Marketplace Shopping Center to connect to the shopping center's existing private gravity sanitary sewer.
There is a 42 inch HRSD force main in Nimmo Parkway. A 6 inch city force main and an 8 inch private gravity
sanitary sewer main are located in an access road adjacent to the site.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The request for a modification of the proffer agreement to allow development of a 7 -Eleven Convenience
store, strip retail center, and gasoline pumps on an outparcel of Courthouse Marketplace Shopping
Center is consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for the area. The site design
and building architecture are designed to complement the existing Courthouse Marketplace shopping
center. Therefore staff finds this request with the submitted proffers acceptable.

thereof prior to instituting proceedings in court; and

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow development of a 7 -Eleven Convenience
store, strip retail center, and gasoline pumps on an outparcel of Courthouse Marketplace Shopping
Center. The site is currently approved for the development of a WaWa Convenience store and gasoline
pumps.
The western portion of the site contains the main retail center and several freestanding buildings. This
part of the center is designed following the grid pattern established within the existing municipal center
complex. The main retail center is designed with projections and recesses and varying facades and
rooflines that will invoke a "main street" atmosphere. There is a wide sidewalk provided along the front of
the main retail center that could include outdoor cafes, seating areas and landscaping. The walkway itself
is designed with brick paver accents to define cafe areas and store entrances.

There are no natural resources or cultural features associated with the
site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan considers the subject parcel as being within the Historic
Princess Anne Center, a subarea of Princess Anne Commons. It is not the intent of the Comprehensive
Plan for this area to become part of the urban area north of the Green Line. Instead, the general goals for the
land uses of this area are to encourage quality -planned development of a mix of public and private uses while
designing with nature and providing exceptional open spaces. These goals include major transportation
projects such as the widening of Princess Anne Road and the connection of Nimmo Parkway to General Booth
Boulevard. Both are major roadways and integral parts of the City transportation system. The Comprehensive
Plan recognizes that, when completed, Nimmo Parkway will be the major east -west arterial roadway in this
area. (p. 4-1, 4-3)
CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Princess Anne
Road adjacent to the site is a two-lane undivided suburban major arterial. The Princess Anne Road Phase IV
7 -ELEVEN, INC.
Agenda Item 8
Page 2
(CIP 2.305) project is currently underway to widen Princess Anne Road to a divided four -lane section with
multi -use paths. Completion of this VDOT-administered project is scheduled for June 5, 2014.
Nimmo Parkway adjacent to the site is a four -lane divided suburban major arterial that currently terminates at
Princess Anne Road. The Princess Anne Road Phase IV (CIP 2.305) project will extend Nimmo Parkway to
Holland Road, and this segment of the project is anticipated to be complete by November 2011. Nimmo
Parkway will be further extended to General Booth Boulevard by the Nimmo Parkway Phase V-A (CIP 2.121)
project, which is scheduled to be advertised for bids in July 2011.
The site is located on an out parcel of the Courthouse Marketplace shopping center. The approved Traffic
Impact Study (TIS) for Courthouse Marketplace did not anticipate a gas station with convenience store
outparcel; however, in 2007 the City Council approved a conditional use permit for a Wawa gas station and
convenience store at the subject site. The approved permit was for a gas station with sixteen fueling positions;
this application is for a gas station with eight fueling positions. Thus, while the current proposal represents an
increase in traffic compared to the approved TIS, it will be a reduction in traffic from the previously -approved
gas station permit. The subject out parcel does not have direct access to any public street. Through the
Courthouse Marketplace shopping center, there are two direct access points to Nimmo Parkway. There is also
an approved right -in only access point on Princess Anne Road that has not yet been connected to Princess
Anne Road.
The approved Courthouse Marketplace TIS stipulated that if a traffic signal were to become warranted at either
access point on Nimmo Parkway, this signal would be installed at the western entrance which is the
intersection of Nimmo Parkway and George Mason Drive. Additionally, the median opening at the eastern
entrance (closest to the subject site) would be closed to eliminate left -turn movements. These measures are a
Public Works requirement because signalization of the eastern entrance would cause major operational
problems for Nimmo Parkway.
A full traffic signal surety has been posted by the Harris Teeter Sun Trust Bank and Wendy's in Courthouse
Marketplace for the signal that will be installed at the Nimmo Parkway/George Mason Drive intersection if a
traffic signal becomes warranted Traffic Engineering requested extension of this surety in March 2010. As
with the Wawa before it the 7-11 will be required at site plan submittal stage to bond for the cost of roadway
improvements required to close the median crossing on Nimmo Parkway at the easternmost entrance to
Courthouse Marketplace opposite the judicial Center. The bond will be called if a traffic signal is warranted and
is built at the Nimmo Parkway/George Mason Drive intersection.
A right -in -only access point for Courthouse Marketplace on Princess Anne Road was approved but never
completed. Completion of this access point will be part of the Princess Anne Road Phase IV (CIP 2.305)
project. The conceptual site layout shows the 7 -Eleven accessing the private access street from Princess
Anne Road into Courthouse Marketplace. This is a one-way access that will allow left -turns into and out of the
7 -Eleven; however right -turns from the parcel towards Princess Anne Road will not be permitted.

There is a 42 inch HRSD force main in Nimmo Parkway. A 6 inch city force main and an 8 inch private gravity
sanitary sewer main are located in an access road adjacent to the site.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION

Property is developed, no internally illuminated, building mounted signage will be permitted. With the exception of
Parcel 1 as depicted on the "Revised Modified Partial Conceptual Site Plan", all parcels depicted in the Revised
Modified Partial Conceptual Site Plan and those outparcels decocted on the original "Conceptual Site Plan", which
outparcels are not being modified herein, shall be restricted to building mounted signs only. The only freestanding
signage permitted on the Property, shall be one along the frontage of Ferrell Parkway/Princess Anne Road, one along
the frontage of Nimmo Parkway, and an internally illuminated monument sign on Parcel 1.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: STAIN STUDIOS, LLC, Conditional Use Permit, tattoo studio, 91 S.
Witchduck Road (GPIN 1467737757). KEMPSVILLE DISTRICT.
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a tattoo and body piercing
studio in conjunction with an art gallery within an existing center fronting Witchduck
Road. The applicant purposes to occupy 2,111 square feet of this center which was
constructed in 1977. The property has a split zoning of B-2 Community Business and 1-1
Industrial. Uses along Witchduck Road are retail and office. The rear of the site consists
of office and warehouse uses.
The operation will consist of two receptionists, eight tattoo artists and one piercer,
Appointments as well as walk-in clients are accepted. The proposed hours of operation
will be by 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week. Services are provided to adults
18years of age or older.
■ Considerations:
The proposed tattoo studio will be located in approximately 2,111 SF of lease space in a
retail strip center. There is ample parking on the site for patrons and employees of the
retail center and tattoo studio. The site is road -locked between 1-264, Witchduck Road
and the Southern Boulevard right-of-way effectively limiting access to primarily vehicular
traffic.
This use is acceptable in this portion of SGA 4, as it will be many years before the
economic and market conditions are right for redevelopment of this site consistent with
the adopted plans for this area.
Before the applicant can obtain a business license to operate, the Health Department
must verify that the business meets the requirements of Chapter 23 of the City Code.
This section establishes standards for disclosure, hygiene, licenses, waivers, proof of
age, recordkeeping, inspections, cleanliness, vaccinations, and permitting. A Certificate
of Occupancy will not be issued until the requirements of the Health Department are
met.
In addition, the Zoning Ordinances requires any tattoo or body piercing establishment be
located at least six hundred (600) feet away from any other tattoo or body piercing
establishment, and from any residential or apartment district, or school. This site meets
this requirement as the studio is over 600 feet from the closest school or residential
district. A graphic is provided within this report that depicts the distance from the nearest
residential or apartment and nearest public school.

USE AND ZONING: South: . Interstate 264
East: . Witchduck Road
• Service oriented uses / 1-1 and 1-2 Industrial Districts
West: . Interstate 264
NATURAL RESOURCE AND The majority of the site is impervious as it is developed with a structure
CULTURAL FEATURES: and parking lot. There are no significant natural resources or cultural
features associated with this site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan Map identifies this site as being within the Western Campus District of Strategic
Growth Area 4 - Pembroke Area. This district of the Pembroke Strategic Growth Area is generally bound by
1-264, Witchduck Road, Virginia Beach Boulevard and Clearfield Avenue. The vision for this district is a mid to
low-rise academic village and service -based center that builds upon the existing educational and service
infrastructure. This district will feed from the neighboring Central Village District's urban fabric and bohemian
art district. Once established, the academic village should foster creative education related activities linked to
businesses, with a School -to -Job Training and Continuing Education for the workforce. Physical improvements
include a bike/pedestrian path along southern Boulevard, which will allow for connectivity to the remainder of
the Pembroke SGA, the City and the region" (page 36).
STRATEGIC GROWTH AREA OFFICE:
While located in SGA -4 Pembroke, the use is proposed for a unit within an existing building, and, thus should
be considered as an 'interim use' until such time that it is replaced by another use or the property owner
desires to develop the site consistent with the recommendations of the Pembroke SGA -4 Plan.
CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP):
S Witchduck Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a four -lane divided minor urban arterial. The
Master Transportation Plan proposes an eight -lane facility within a 155 foot right-of-way. Currently, this
segment of roadway is functioning over capacity at a LOS F.
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 Central Business District surrounding the Town Center. The project will be phased based on
funding.

Phase II (CIP2-025) will provide a six -lane divided roadway on a 131 foot right-of-way from 1-264 to Virginia
Beach Boulevard. The project will also include improvements/modifications to Cleveland Street, Mac Street,
and Pennsylvania Avenue. No significant changes to the site layout and right-of-way are proposed. Although
it should be noted that the Witchduck Road Phase II project is slated to impact the Witchduck Exchange site
and may result in a loss of parking areas and/or entrance modifications. However, funding activities beyond
site acquisition are not scheduled or funded in the current Virginia Transportation Six -Year Program.
Greenwich Road/Cleveland Street Crossover (CIP2-401) will realign Greenwich Road and connect it to
Cleveland Street by a bridge structure over 1-264. Improvements to the Cleveland Street/Witchduck Road
intersection are anticipated.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: STEPHEN J. & PAULA H. LAUKAITIS/MAXIM V. MIROVSKI & MARGARET
Y. BAUMGARTEN, Conditional Use Permit, community pier, 3300 & 3336
Whippoorwill Point. LYNNHAVEN DISTRICT.
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background:
The applicants request a Conditional Use Permit for a community boat dock with
a pier approximately 160 feet long with a 10 feet wide by 25 feet long float at the
end of the pier to be shared by 2 adjacent property owners.
On August 10, 2010, the City Council deferred this item at the request of the
applicants in order for them to work out an acceptable alignment of the pier with
their adjacent neighbors.
Since that time the applicants have revised their site plan to show a proposed
fixed pier 5 feet wide and approximately 75 feet long to a T -Head 10 feet wide by
32 feet long. In addition, a 10 feet wide by 30 feet long float with 2 boat lifts and 2
drive -on Jet Ski floats is attached to the T -Head. This revised site plan is
provided.
■ Considerations:
Staff concludes that rather than one pier for each of the two lots, one, shared pier
is preferred for both visual and navigation purposes. The proposed pier will be
used exclusively by the applicants (two property owners) and will be limited to
their private use, as no commercial use of the pier will be permitted per the
recommended conditions.
The applicants are currently seeking approval through the Joint Permit
Application (JPA) process, and no construction will be permitted until the JPA is
approved. Staff recommends approval of this request with the following
conditions.
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:
Stephen J. & Paula H. Laukaitis/Maxim V. Mirovski & Margaret Y. Baumgarten
Page 2 of 2
1. The boat dock shall be constructed as shown on the plan entitled "Conditional
Use Permit For A Community Pier," prepared by Waterfront Consulting Inc.,

14888737460000 46,290 square feet
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for a community boat dock to be shared by 2 adjacent
property owners.
Specifically, the applicants wish to share a pier approximately 160 feet long with a 10 by 25 foot float at
the end of the pier. Access to the pier would be via Site B (3336 Whippoorwill Point) and then extending
out to the water on Site 3-3a (3300 Whippoorwill Point). To meet the Zoning Ordinance setback
requirements, the pier will be four feet wide at the point of its beginning and will then transition to five feet
wide at mean low water.
This proposal is also under review through the Joint Permit Application (JPA) process.

LAND USE AND PLAN INFORMATION
EXISTING LAND USE: One single-family dwelling on each lot.
SURROUNDING LAND North: . Single-family dwellings / R-40 Residential District
USE AND ZONING: South: . Lynnwood Drive
Single-family dwellings / R-40 Residential District
East: . Single-family dwellings / R-40 Residential District
West: • Whippoorwill Point
• Single-family dwellings / R-40 Residential District
NATURAL RESOURCE AND The properties are within the Chesapeake Bay watershed and
CULTURAL FEATURES: specifically within the Resource Protection Area, the more stringently
regulated portion of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. There do
not appear to be any significant cultural features on the site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan's principles for the Suburban Area focus on preserving and protecting the overall
character, economic value, and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods and reinforce the suburban
characteristics of commercial centers and other non-residential areas that make up part of the Suburban Area.
Achieving the goals of preserving neighborhood quality requires promoting compatibility with surroundings,
quality & attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability and
buffering between non-residential and residential development (page 3-2).
CITY SERVICES
This request for a shared pier will have no significant impact to City services.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that rather than one pier for each of the two lots, one, shared pier is preferred for both
visual and navigation purposes. The proposed pier will be used exclusively by the applicants (two
property owners) and will be limited to their private use, as no commercial use of the pier will be permitted
per the recommended conditions. The pier will not have a sewer pump -out facility nor will petroleum
products be dispensed or stored on the site. The applicant is currently seeking approval through the Joint
Permit Application (JPA) process, and no construction will be permitted until the JPA is approved. Staff
recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
CONDITIONS
1. The boat dock shall be constructed as shown on the plan entitled "Conditional Use Permit For A
BAUMGARTEN AND LAUKAITIS
Agenda Item 2

as required by the Joint Permit Application Permit.
2. The use of the non-commercial, community boat dock shall be limited to the private use of lots shown
on the plan as "Site B" (3336 Whippoorwill Point) and "Site 3-3a" (3300 Whippoorwill Point) for boating
and recreational purposes only.
3. Permits shall be secured from all appropriate regulatory agencies through the Joint Permit Application
process prior to any development or construction of the pier.
4. No commercial use of the dock shall be permitted.
5. There shall be no on-site storage or dispensing of petroleum products from this property.
6. There shall be no structures, except for uncovered boat lifts, on any portion of the pier.

review to meet all applicable City Codes and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City
Code, including those administered by the Department of Planning / Development Services Center and
Department of Planning / Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy, are required before any uses allowed by this Use Permit are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: BEACON TOWERS AND AT&T MOBILITY/GUY A. NEWMAN, Conditional
Use Permit, monopole telecommunications tower, 749 London Bridge Road (GPIN
1496952784). BEACH DISTRICT.
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background:
This is a request to construct and operate a 130 -foot monopole communications tower.
The applicant has stated that there is a need to locate a tower at this location to fill a gap
in the mobile wireless telephone coverage for this area, as shown on the Current
Coverage map contained within this report.
This tower will be able to accommodate the applicant and three additional users. The
submitted plans show an eight foot chain link fence with one foot of barbed wire, located
along the top of the fence, for a total fence height of nine feet encompassing this site.
However, the Zoning Ordinance only permits a maximum fence height of eight feet. The
plans must be revised to show an eight foot fence without the barber wire before
submitting for site plan review. .
The Navy does have a restrictive easement on this site. The Navy has provided a letter
indicating that the tower is acceptable within the easement.
NAS Oceana staff has determined that the tower's height is acceptable.
■ Considerations:
The applicant is requesting to locate a communications tower on an industrial zoned site.
This request fills a gap for the applicant's mobile wireless telephone coverage in this
area. The applicant searched the area and could not find an existing tower or structure
to locate on that met their technical needs.
By locating the tower in a commerce park for industrial uses and providing a structure
that can accommodate four users; the applicant has found a solution to improve the
cellular service availability in this area with minimal impact. This request is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan.
Therefore, Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the following conditions.
There was no opposition to the request.

plan entitled "Beacon Towers, London Bridge Road, Site Number VA -1025, 749
London Bridge Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23454," dated 10/15/10, and prepared by
Infinigy Engineering & Surveying. Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia
Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
2. The set of plans shall be revised to show a maximum eight foot high fence with no
barbed wire encompassing the lease area before submittal for site plan review.
3. Documentation from the Navy stating that the communications tower is permitted
within the Navy's easement must be included with the site plan submittal.
4. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities arises
from the user(s) of this tower, the applicant shall take all measures reasonably
necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the interference cannot be
eliminated within seven days, the applicant shall cease operation to the extent
necessary to stop the interference.
5. In the event that antennas on the tower and/or the tower are inactive for a period of
one year, the tower shall be removed at the applicant's expense.

Staff did request that the tower be located further back to the rear of the site. However, the applicant's
engineers indicated that the proposed location was on the very edge of the coverage area and that the
tower would not be functional if it was moved further back on the site. This is due to the large area that
NAS Oceana covers.
The Navy does have a restrictive easement on this site. The request to locate a communications tower
within the easement is currently under review by Navy staff. The Navy's staff has indicated that the tower
does appear acceptable within the easement.
NAS Oceana staff has determined that the tower's height is acceptable.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC/VIRGINIA BEACH SCHOOL BOARD,
Conditional Use Permit, communication tower, 1668 Kempsville Road (GPIN
1465134458).CENTERVILLE DISTRICT.
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background:
On December 21, 2010 the School Board approved a lease agreement between the
Board and the applicant for the development of a communications tower within the
Tallwood High School property. The applicant is now requesting the required
Conditional Use Permit.
It is the intent of the applicant to replace an existing stadium light pole with a 150 -
foot communications tower with a four -foot lightning rod for a total height of 154 -feet.
The tower will be able to accommodate one additional user. The existing stadium
lights will be relocated to the proposed tower. The equipment building will be located
under the stadium bleachers, adjacent to the tower and designed to look like the
other buildings within the stadium area.
The required Structural and RF Emissions Reports for the proposed tower has been
submitted and are acceptable.
■ Considerations:
This request fills in a gap for the applicant's mobile wireless telephone coverage in
this area. The applicant searched the area and could not find a tall structure that
was not currently being utilized to locate on.
The applicant worked with the School Board staff resulting in the replacement of a
stadium light pole with the proposed communications tower. The equipment building
and tower will be able to accommodate one additional user. The placement of the
ground equipment under the bleachers on this already well -buffered school site
meets the intent of the screening requirements and negates the need for any actual
landscaping.
In summary, by placing a communications facility within this developed school site
and providing a structure that can accommodate an additional user, the applicant
has found a solution to improve the cellular service in this area with little or no impact
on surrounding neighborhoods.
New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC
Page 2of2
The applicant has met with and/or provided information to the various community
organizations and has sent individual notices to adjoining property owners regarding
this request.
Therefore, Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the following
conditions.
There was opposition to this request.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0,
recommends approval of this request to the City Council with the following
conditions:
The lease area shall be developed substantially in accordance with the
submitted plan entitled "Tallwood High School, Site ID NF233-A, 1668
Kempsville Road Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23464," dated 06/15/10, and
prepared by Morrison Hershfield. Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia
Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department.
2. In the event interference with any City emergency communications facilities
arises from the user(s) of this tower, the applicant shall take all measures
reasonably necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If the
interference cannot be eliminated within seven days, the applicant shall cease
operation to the extent necessary to stop the interference.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
On December 21, 2010 the School Board approved a lease agreement between the Board and the
applicant for the development of a communications tower within the Tallwood High School property. The
applicant is now requesting the required Conditional Use Permit. This applicant has stated that there is a
need to locate a tower within the vicinity to fill a gap in the mobile wireless telephone coverage for this
area, as shown on the Current Coverage map contained within this report.
It is the intent of the applicant to replace an existing stadium light pole with a 150 -foot communications
tower with a four -foot lightning rod for a total height of 154 -feet. This structure will be constructed of
galvanized steel and match the appearance of the existing light poles. The tower will be able to
accommodate one additional user. The existing stadium lights will be relocated to the proposed tower.
All cables will be located inside of the structure. The equipment building will be located under the stadium
bleachers, adjacent to the tower. The equipment building has been designed to accommodate the
applicant's and an additional user's base station equipment. It has also been designed to look like the
other buildings within the stadium area. Due to the limited space available and the fact that the ground
equipment will be completely screened from the general public's view, no landscaping is proposed.
The required Structural and RF Emissions Reports for the proposed tower has been submitted and are
acceptable.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as Suburban Area. The overriding objective of the
Suburban Area policies is to protect the predominantly suburban character defined by the stable
neighborhoods of our community. The goal of preserving neighborhood quality requires all new development
proposals either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings and
effective buffering between adjoining residential and non-residential uses. All new uses are to be compatible
in type, size, and intensity to the existing area.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
This request fills in a gap for the applicant's mobile wireless telephone coverage in this area. The
applicant searched the area and could not find a tall structure that was not currently being utilized to
locate on.
The applicant worked with the School Board staff resulting in the replacement of a stadium light pole with
the proposed communications tower. The equipment building and tower will be able to accommodate
one additional user. The placement of the ground equipment under the bleachers on this already well -
buffered school site meets the intent of the screening requirements and negates the need for any actual
landscaping.
In summary, by placing a communications facility within this developed school site and providing a
structure that can accommodate an additional user, the applicant has found a solution to improve the
cellular service in this area with little or no impact on surrounding neighborhoods.
The applicant has met with and/or provided information to the various community organizations and has
sent individual notices to adjoining property owners regarding this request.
Therefore, Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the following conditions.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: SOLO INDUSTRIES, LLC/COLLIN ELANE, Conditional Use Permit, home
occupation, 2201 Speckled Rock Lane (GPIN 1485212957). PRINCESS ANNE
DISTRICT.
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow an online firearm sales
business to be situated in his home. The applicant will be the sole employee and
will sell, via the internet, firearms and accessories, including handguns, rifles,
shotguns, holsters, cases, ammunition, clay targets, etc. There will be no
customers visiting the site and the hours that the applicant conducts online
transactions are primarily during evenings and on the weekends. The applicant
anticipates two to three firearm sales a year and it is envisioned that most of the
sales will come from firearm accessories such as scopes, holsters, hand grips
and other sporting good accessories.
In addition to obtaining approval of this Use Permit, the applicant will have to
obtain a Federal Firearms License (FFL) through the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearm, and Explosives (ATF) in order to conduct this online business.
■ Considerations:
The proposed home occupation is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's
goal of protecting the predominately suburban character of this community.
Overall, the minimal activity expected by the applicant is not likely to adversely
impact the surrounding properties or neighborhood character.
In Summary, the request is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning
Ordinance Standards for home occupations, and the recommended conditions
identified with Section 234 of the Zoning Ordinance help protect the integrity of
the adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Staff therefore recommends approval of this request subject to the following
conditions.
There was no opposition to the request.
Solo Industries, LLC/Collin Elane
Page 2 of 2
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 9-2,
recommends approval of this request to the City Council with the following
conditions:
Not more than 20 percent of the floor area of the dwelling unit and
accessory structures shall be used in the conduct of activity associated with
the home occupation.
2. There shall be no sign identifying the business on the exterior of any

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow an online firearm sales business to be situated
in his home. The applicant will be the sole employee and will sell, via the internet, firearms and
accessories, including handguns, rifles, shotguns, holsters, cases, ammunition, clay targets, etc. There
will be no customers visiting the site and the hours that the applicant conducts online transactions are
primarily during evenings and on the weekends. The applicant anticipates two to three firearm sales a
year and it is envisioned that most of the sales will come from firearm accessories such as scopes,
holsters, hand grips and other sporting good accessories.
In addition to obtaining approval of this Use Permit, the applicant will have to obtain a Federal Firearms
License (FFL) through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearm, and Explosives (ATF) in order to conduct
this online business. The applicant's business model has customers completing the required ATF Form
4473, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), and paying for the item in full.
Once payment is received, the applicant will order the items and have them delivered to his home via
certified carrier. Once guns arrive to the site, they are placed in a gun safe within a secured home office.
The room will be secured in accordance to ATF regulations and the entire house is secured with an alarm
system. Firearms will only be removed from the secured safe upon final legal clearance of the transaction
which usually takes about one business day. Upon legal clearance, the product is then securely

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as a Suburban Area. The overriding objective of
the Suburban Area policies is to protect the predominantly suburban character defined by the stable
neighborhoods of our community. The goal of preserving neighborhood quality requires all new development
proposals to either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings and
effective buffering between adjoining residential and non-residential uses. All new uses are to be compatible
in type, size, and intensity to the existing area (pp. 3-1 and 3-2).

use. A Fire Code Permit and onsite inspections may be required for compliance by the Fire Marshal's Office.
SEWER & WATER: There is no expected impact on sewer and water.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The proposed home occupation is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's goal of protecting the
predominately suburban character of this community. From the exterior of the house, business activity
associated with the proposed home occupation will be virtually undetectable. The character of the
neighborhood should not change as no customers are expected to come to the house and no new
construction is proposed. Overall, the minimal activity expected by the applicant is not likely to adversely
impact the surrounding properties or neighborhood character. In addition, this home business supports
one of the City's desired outcomes to ensure the opportunity to start and grow a business (p. 1-2).
Staff further finds that the proposed business is within the characteristics outlined in Section 234 of the
Zoning Ordinance regarding home occupations. Below is a listing of these characteristics.
a) Not more than twenty (20) percent of the floor area of the dwelling unit and accessory structures
shall be used in the conduct of the activity. Provided, however, this limitation shall not have
application to family day-care homes.
b) No traffic, including traffic by commercial delivery vehicles, shall be generated by such activity in
greater volumes than would normally be expected in the neighborhood, and any need for parking
generated by the conduct of such activity shall be met off the street and other than in a required front
yard.
c) No identification sign shall be permitted. However, as an exception, the City Council, upon a finding
that a sign would not be detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood, may as a condition of the use
permit allow up to one (1) sign, non -illuminated, not to exceed one (1) square foot in area, mounted
flat against the wall of the residence.
d) No use shall create noise, dust, vibration, smell, smoke, glare, electrical interference, fire hazard, or
any other hazard or nuisance to any greater or more frequent extent than would normally be
expected in the neighborhood under normal circumstances wherein no home occupation exists.
e) The following uses are specifically excluded: Convalescent or nursing homes, tourist homes,
massage parlors, radio or television repair shops, auto repair shops, or similar establishments.
In Summary, the request is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance Standards for
home occupations, and the recommended conditions identified with Section 234 of the Zoning Ordinance
help protect the integrity of the adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Staff therefore recommends approval of this request subject to the following conditions.
CONDITIONS
Not more than 20 percent of the floor area of the dwelling unit and accessory structures shall be used
in the conduct of activity associated with the home occupation.

Conditional Use Permit
2201 Speckled Rock Lane
District 7
Princess Anne
February 9, 2011
APPROVED
Joseph Strange: Mr. Secretary, will you call the net item.
AL Henley: Yes sir. The next item is item 10. An application of Solo Industries, L.L.0 for a Conditional Use Permit
for a home occupation on property located at 2201 Speckled Rock Lane, District 7, Princess Anne. You may come
forward.
Joseph Strange: State your name please.
Collin Elane: My name is Collin Elane. Good afternoon. I represent Solo Industries, and personally I would like to
thank the commission for considering my application for a Conditional Use Permit and allowing me to speak. I also
thank you for giving me the opportunity to address anyone's concerns. I know this is kind of a sensitive subject.
My proposal is to have an internet firearms sales business based out of my home. So, that is a residential zone. I
think the number one concern here is that, and it is not part of my business model, I have customers come to my
home for the purchase of firearm sales. It does include the safe and responsible handling of firearms from a
wholesaler to a FFL or a federal firearms license dealer, such as a pawn shot or A and P's or any of the local gun
shops out there. And so basically the process will be, I will have an online website, and a custom only in the State
of Virginia, the way the license works, which I will get into in a little bit. It only covers me for Virginia only sales.
They will order online, and after payment is received, I'll order the firearm from a wholesaler. It will then be sent
to my home, then from my home it will go another FFL dealer. The way the ATF regulates this is that the transfer
for firearms via a parcel can only be sent to federal firearms licensed holder, and so it will go from wholesaler to
me to a pawnshop or a gun store. There, the customer will go to the pawnshop or the gunstore and they will
complete the ATF mandated background checks, all the state checks, state police and so forth. The entire process
is heavily regulated by the ATF, and actually I have already contacted the Norfolk ATF agent to inform them of my
intention. The conditions for this, I will not make any changes to the exterior. There will be no increase in traffic
other than myself because I will be transporting the firearms myself. Again, there will no customers on site. So, it
doesn't go from wholesaler to me to customer because according to ATF that would be illegal. The inventory will
stay in my home no longer than 24 hours or one business day. Let me retract that. It will be one business day.
The zoning piece is required for the federal firearms license application, and so this is basically my first step in
moving towards that. Even before the license, the ATF will visit my home and determine if my home safe, and it
meets the regulations that ATF requires. As far as safety is concerned, I have a wireless security system. There are
two sets of separate locks for the home office and for the actual location of the vault, which there will be a gun
safe as well. A ledger must be kept at all times and proper records must be maintained because ATF will do a
random survey of the area, and with the monitoring by the ATF, I feel that all the safety checks are in place, and to
protect myself, my family, and I have two little ones, so safety is of the upmost priority to me, and to the public
and my fellow neighbors in the area. What questions do you have for me?
Joseph Strange: Mr. Bernas.
Jay Bernas: So, when you receive packages through the mail, will someone be at home to sign for them?
Collin Elane: Yes. Absolutely. The parcel carrier, and I'm going to reference USPS and Fedex, all of these
transferred are done via certified mail so there has to be someone to either pick them up at their delivery site or
Item #10
Solo Industries, L.L.C.
Page 2
someone has to be home to sign for them, and that can only be done by an AFL holder, which will be me. So, if I
am not home, it will be kept in their warehouse or storage area where I would go pick it up and sign for it there.
Joseph Strange: Mr. Hodgson.
Jeff Hodgson: I have two questions.
Collin Elane: Yes sir.
Jeff Hodgson: I know you can't have the product shipped directly to your customers but could you not have the
product dropped shipped to the pawnshop or the other store front where the customer can go pick it up, to keep
it basically from coming into your home. Is that possible?
Collin Elane: That is an opportunity. Sometimes the customer does not have a pawnshop already in mind, and
there will be an opportunity for it to come to my home. It is not going to be coming to my home 100 percent of
the time. Sometimes it will come to my home and I will choose a FFL dealer to ship it to, and then inform the
customer where to go.
Jeff Hodgson: Do you have past experience in firearm sales? Have you done the in the past?
Collin Elane: No, this is my first attempt at it. I will say that it has probably been the most educational experience
going through this entire process, and I appreciate you guys kind of taking it easy on me.
David Redmond: We got time yet. You're not done.
Joseph Strange: Mr. Bernas has another question.
Jay Bernas: I forgot to ask this. Have you talked to all of your neighbors about your business and everybody is
okay. DO you have a petition from them or anything that says that everyone is happy?
Collin Elane: Yes, included within my application was two signatures. One of them is my immediate neighbor
adjacent to me. I guess south of my location. I have spoken with him and he has agreed, and was actually
supportive of the entire process.
Joseph Strange: Mr. Henley.
Al Henley: First of all, I want to thank you for being honest and up front coming through the legal process of you
being able to have this business in your home. It can very easily have gone undetected, and you did this without
any detection of the local government or the federal agencies as well. So, I want to thank you for that. My
question is this. In your experience with the processing of the FFL and the ATF, you mentioned that you had to get
their approval where they came in and looked at your residence and made sure everything was safe, and I am sure
they checked you out as well. Do they conduct unscheduled inspections and how often?
Collin Elane: Just as a point of clarification, and thanks for the question. The ATF will not perform any onsite
reviews until I am approved by the zoning commission. And secondly, there has not been documented frequency
as to how often they will do the random checks, however it is part of the regulations surrounding getting a FFL
license. So, having appropriate records and to maintain safety at all time is one of the prerequisites because at
anytime the Norfolk ATF agent can come to my home and do an onsite inspection.

Al Henley: Just with a comment on that, I am not sure if it is true or not, I have been told they will actually send
individuals and perspective buyers to make sure that you are complying with the rules and regulations, and if
you're not complying to those then you will be notified that your license be restricted or pulled.
Collin Elane: Yes sir. Where having an individual actually go, and this is kind of an abnormality of doing the online,
where as you know they would normally, and I've heard it, occur with an actual storefront or actual pawnshop or
gun store where they would have a secret shopper come in, and make sure they are performing all the ATF
required background checks and so forth. I can foresee that especially with already contacting our local ATF. She
herself was surprised. She wasn't and she had her own reservations and concerns but I can foresee that she is very
interested in the outcome of this, and I will be working with her very, very closely.
Al Henley: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Mr. Ripley:
Ronald Ripley: You described your method of business by buying through wholesalers. Will there be any instance
where you will be buying directly from a customer trying to sell you a used gun so then try to resell it? Is there
incident that you think would occur like that?
Collin Elane: That is not part of my business model. But, I guess in the State of Virginia. Actually, I want to retract
that. It is not part of my business model. I plan to deal with wholesalers. New firearms only, and the reason why
I would deal with wholesalers is for the customers, and for an operating cost standpoint that is where I would save
the most money. There are several different types of federal firearms license. The one that I am applying for does
not entail, I'm trying to find the word for it, modifying any firearms, and so all of my firearms will have to come
boxed and untouched from the wholesaler, and then they will be sent over to me or to another FFL dealer. So,
having an open box actually violates the type of federal firearms license I am applying for, and so my license is
going to be strictly from the manufacturer to another FFL and then to the customer.
Joseph Strange: Mr. Felton.
Chris Felton: Two questions. Just too kind of understand what your business is, if I have to go to an FFL dealer to
get this anyways, I would go through you and not go them in the first place? Is it going to be a cheaper price, is
that why?
Collin Elane: It is going to be a cheaper price. There are higher operating costs when you have a storefront. You
have staff to pay for, you have rent to pay for and so forth, where this is based out of my home, and so generally
there is a 30 to 40 percent makeup on retail firearm sales, and that is a lot of capital they have to cover.
Chris Felton: Okay. And my second question, and I think this is where some of the concerns are, will your location
and address ever be known, that you're the one selling these arms and these arms are located at that property and
in the safety of yourself and your family and those around you, type of thing?
Collin Elane: That was a concern of mine as well. Again, I do have children. One of my concerns was that, as part
of the process, big orange signs are placed in the front of your yard, and of course it says online firearms sales on
there, so that was one of my concerns. I would have neighbors come by and ask me and that gives me a perfect
opportunity to kind of share my business model with them. As far as the exposure goes, my home address will not
be exposed on the website at all. The only entities that will have my address will be the wholesalers that I
purchase from. Since the federal firearms license covers the entire State of Virginia, we're just not looking at
Virginia Beach. We are also looking at Northern Virginia, western Virginia and so forth, and yes, I have had some
exposure in my immediate area because of the application process but, I don't foresee there being any great risk
with the other surrounding areas.

Chris Felton: So you said you've been educated in this process. Is there in the Commonwealth a plan in place that
protects you? If this does happen, is there something in the regulations that you have to follow to go through if
that does happen?
Collin Elane: Stolen firearms are a big thing with the ATF. They do have a formalize processes which include
formalized forms and that is reportable to the ATF who then of course reports to the federal government. And so
there are checks and balances in place in the event of a home break in. But they would have to move a 700 pound
safe.
Joseph Strange: Mr. Thornton.
Bob Thornton: Basically, somebody gets online and orders a gun and gives you credit card and pays for it. You in
turn order the gun from your source. The gun either comes to you or a retailer. And then once the gun is in
possession of the retailer and your customer goes to pick it up, what happens if the customer doesn't pass muster?
What happens if the customer shows up with a criminal record? You've got their money, and the retailer has got
the gun. How do you unwind that event?
Collin Elane: Any number of things can occur. I can either return it to the wholesaler. So it can either go from the
retailer back to the wholesaler to myself and back to the wholesaler, or the retailer can purchase it from me.
Bob Thornton: So you don't have a way to vet the purchase online. That's got to happen face to face at the
retailer?
Collin Elane: That is an assumable risk that a FFL license holder that does this type of transaction undertakes but
that does not mean that I myself can't do any background checks. I've already applied for, I guess it is basically a
login into the State Police background check site which I will to help mitigate a lot of that risk, I'll do the
background check myself. It will basically be the same check a retailer will perform so if it passes muster with me,
then 1 could move forward from my end of the business where I would order to a wholesaler, and then to a
retailer. They will do another check, which will be the formal check that is submitted to the ATF.
Bob Thornton: So, final question, at the end of the day, you or the client has to pay the retailer money to run it
though its license. So, if I save money by buying a gun through you online, by the time it gets to ATF arms or a
pawnshop or wherever, somebody has to pay that person for being in the loop.
Collin Elane: Yes.
Bob Thornton: Does the client do that or do you do that? How does that occur?
Collin Elane: It is generally rolled into the cost, it will part of my business, it will be added into the cost of the
firearm. Now, the average price for doing a transfer like that is $60.00. And so when you're looking at it, and I'm
just going to throw a number out there, if you're looking at a rifle that retails say at $1,200.00 1 buy it retail for
$900.00, and it cost you a couple hundred more than that, you're still saving yourself a little bit a of money,
because a retailer is going to sell it at $1,500, 1,600, or $1,700 dollars. So that is the general price for a transfer is
$60.00 to $70.00, which does include all the background checks.
Chris Felton: I have a question. You said that when you talked to the ATF officer that is in this area, it kind of not
happened. I know in the past we have approved antique guns being sold and those types of things. So, in your
research and your learning of this process, has there been any precedent set for this or has anybody done this
already: Or you've just gotten this idea and you're like "alright, let's try it".
Item #10
Solo Industries, L.L.C.

Collin Elane: This idea has been pioneered in other states across the United States. I haven't heard of any Virginia
online firearm dealers, but I have in south Dakota, North Dakota, which I pulled this idea from someone, I think is
in North Dakota that has kind of pioneered this type of business. In email response to him, getting his experience
and getting this side of actually performing the business for, I think he has been doing it for 5 somewhat years
now.
Bob Thornton: Just for what it is worth, I am sure you are familiar with gunbroker.com, and it is an E -bay of gun
brokering. You can go in and type in gunbroker.com, type in what you what, bid on the item, pay for it with pay
pal and you it get shipped right to a FFL. You have to tell them where to ship it. So, it is a common practice for
buying guns online.
Joseph Strange: Mr. Russo.
Phil Russo: Sir, this will not be your livelihood right?
Collin Elane: No.
Phil Russo: Okay. So you don't foresee it being your livelihood even down the road. It is basically just a hobby?
Collin Elane: I hate to limit myself. I do have a day job. I'm a Director of Nursing at Run America Corporation. So,
you couldn't go into an office spectrum with this one. I don't foresee this being my livelihood. It will be great. I do
appreciate hunting spots, shooting sports and so forth. It is one of those things where you can do what you love
for the rest of your life and that would be great. This is kind of my foot in the door. I am testing the waters. I
couldn't think of any riskier type of business to start, however, I do appreciate it. It is something that I would enjoy
as a hobby. If it does take off, then future plans might be seeing me for a store front type of business but right
now it is going to be a hobby. I don't anticipate and part of the application, anymore, and this is just kind of me
summarizing here, but anywhere between 3 to 4 a year. A lot of my sales I would anticipate would be firearm
accessories, holsters, scopes, and so forth. I'm not limited to just firearms, you know, so but this was a
requirement for it, because I didn't want it to be an all stop. You buy a firearm and I can ship directly to you a
scope, a holster, a strap of anything like that.
Phil Russo: As far as actual gun sales, it seems like a lot of work for just two or three sales a year. And, it really
seems like, and I just don't understand how introducing one more player into the process is going to make the
purchase cheaper. It seems like you're like another middle man.
Collin Elane: Yes, I'm not going to lie to you. It does, to a certain degree, make me a middle man. However, most
you're average Joe will not be able to purchase from a wholesaler, so your only other alternative will be to go
through a retailer. And so, if you look at the cost savings there for the customer, he will be paying, again, a really
high markup buying retail and for that convenience of being able to go there, and you know, see the gun, hold it,
and purchase it right then and there, where an avid gun collector or someone who is very familiar with firearms
says, you know what, instead of paying that ridiculous markup for a gun that I am already familiar with and I know
that I want, let me go to Solo Industries or gunbroker.com or what have you and save myself a little bit of money,
pay that $60.00 transfer fee, and be done with it.
Phil Russo: So, what's to prevent the pawn shop or other retailer, when they receive the gun from you, just saying
that, I'm going to just mark it up to my regular price?
Collin Elane: Because I know the customer will probably say I paid for this already, I've already paid for the
firearm. I've already paid for the transfer. Why am I being charged again? The customer won't be able to accept
that all.

Phil Russo: They could say it though.
Collin Elane: That would be a breach of contract between the two FFL dealers.
Phil Russo: The customer contract is with you.
Collin Elane: Right. And my contract is with the FFL dealer so as part of my contract with the customer, I'll say you
will pick it up at this location. In the event that the pawnshop, if you will, decides to mark it up, charge the
customer more money, then that is a reportable type of activity to the ATF.
Phil Russo: So your contract with the pawnshop is based on a certain price.
Collin Elane: Based on a price. Even the transfer from FFL to FFL is regulated by the ATF. If they decide to breach
that contract, they will be putting themselves at risk of losing their FFL license.
Phil Russo: Okay. I am not just sure that any pawnshop or any other retailer is going to respect two or three sales a
year. I'm not sure, any type of market share...
Collin Elane: Well it is not, again this is covering the entire state of Virginia and probably I won't be going to the
same FFL with the amount of sales I'm looking at or not looking at. I probably, for example go through ATF Arms.
They are probably looking maybe at two or three transfer from me for Virginia Beach, where again, I am looking at
the entire state of Virginia and so, I might be dealing with that particular pawnshop or gun store. I would prefer it
going to a retailer versus a pawnshop first of all. Because there is different type of regulation they are under as
well. So, I will maybe be going to another retailer maybe once. Again, just looking from the amount of sales that I
am looking at just for firearms.
Joseph Strange: Mr. Felton.
Chris Felton: I am just throwing this out there and have thought, and see if you would be agreeable to it. If we did
approve this and possibly add it on there that it is approved with a condition to come back in a year and review the
application again, and to see what's happen, what's going on and how it is all working out. Would you be
agreeable to that?
Collin Elane: Absolutely. Just as a side note to that, there is a yearly renewal for the ATF license for that FFL
license. And so, in addition to reporting back to Planning Commission, I would be doing the random audits as well
reporting to the ATF as well, reporting to the ATF on my current status. The ATF will revoke a FFL license if they do
not feel that the business is creating enough revenue, even then there is another check there where the FFL might
say alright, Solo Industries, you literally did one transfer for the year 2011. It doesn't make sense for you to be a
FFL license holder. We're going to revoke it or we're going not to renew it.
Joseph strange: Mr. Thornton.
Bob Thornton: You indicated earlier there were different levels of license. Would you ever anticipate that after
you got this business going that you would request a change in your licensee status so that if I bought a gun from
you on line, I could literally come to your house and pick it up, pay you and instead of bouncing off to a pawnshop
or retailer or whatever, then you could get the gun shipped to you, you call me come get it. You would then
eliminate that $60.00 worth of a transfer fee.
Collin Elane: If I do hit that route, it is because I have a storefront now. The ATF does not allow the transfer of
firearms to occur from a FFL dealer to a customer from your home. You need to apply for a FFL license that makes
Item #10
Solo Industries, L.L.C.
Page 7
you a retailer for a store front. And if I do hit that route it would be because I'm supposedly successful and I have
my own store now.
David Redmond: I'm not quite sure what the point would be for a one year review. This is one of the most heavily
regulated activities in the entire American economy. I don't know what we would be looking for? I view this very
simply as home daycare or someone who wants to sell sweaters. We seem to do more those things only it is much
more regulated. It is more sensitive and I understand that point but I don't know what the purpose of that would
be. We're kind of picking apart his business plan, and I just don't understand the purpose of all of that is. Either it
is going to be an appropriate and low impact sort of hobby type home business use. I think we're kind of over
thinking it. In some regards there, I don't find it terribly objectionable of all that. You can do it if you would like,
but I don't know what the purpose in a one year review would be.
Karen Lasley: I would suggest that if you do put a one time limit review on it, maybe it could an administrative
renewal if there were no complaints from the neighbors. He meets the conditions. And we do work close with
ATF staff in Norfolk. If there is a problem we could bring him back, which we can do at anytime even if you don't
that condition on it.
David Redmond: That was my point, if there was some sort of problem, you're going to be in a position.
Jay Bernas: Just to let you know that I am not on board, but if the commission was to approve this, would you be
okay with adding a condition, since you're only doing a few a year, to have the firearms, as being any firearms
shipment being sent to a FFL dealer. You could receive shipments on your scopes and stuff to your home and what
you need to do but for the firearms, so that kind of takes away some of my concerns that you're getting firearms
shipped to your house, whether it is in the safe or not. I'm not really onboard with the whole premise. Would that
be something as a condition that you would be oaky with or does that destroy your business model?
Collin Elane: It does not destroy my business model but what that does it creates an additional level of complexity
that I need to account for on the front end. It is not optima for me. But if that is the condition continent upon
approval, then yes I would be amenable to it.
Joseph Strange: I want to sort of clarify things a little bit. Number one the people that you're going to be shipping
these to maybe a retailer or a pawnshop, these people have a license for you to ship them to right?
Collin Elane: Yes.
Joseph Strange: These people can buy from the same people you buy from right?
Collin Elane: Yes.
Joseph Strange: So, your business model is the only reason why the person would be handling your sale is that it
would be an additional sale to them, I mean, otherwise, if you're going to cut the price. You gave an example of
something selling for $1,500, you might sell it for $1,200 right. This is just a very speculative endeavor your
involved in. Just like any small business that says that is what 70 percent of all new jobs created in this country are
about people who are willing to take a risk and invest their money, that is just a little bit different, and online sales
is what about 30 percent of all sales are online. I just wanted to get a hand of what exactly what your business
model was and then to clarify that the people you're going to be delivering these things, that exactly you cut a
deal for them if they are not regulated by the ATF. They are highly regulated.
Collin Elane: Very ,very tightly regulated.

Joseph Strange: It is just like any small business that is trying to get started up , 4 out 5 is probably going to fail
anyhow right?
David Redmond: Don't tell him that.
Joseph Strange: I just want to put this whole thing in perspective that this guy is a small person who obviously is
an upstanding citizen. He is head of a nursing unit. He is not one of those guys trying to blow the country or
something. He is just a small guy. He is an entrepreneur. He is trying to get business off the ground and trying to
do it the right way. He is coming before the Commission trying to go through the rules and trying to play the rules
like we ask people to do right. I'm not saying that I would vote for it or against but I'm just saying that this kind of
for me puts it in a perspective as to how big this might be or how small it might be. Are there any other questions?
Donald Horsley: I question staff. I remember approving one of these before. Did we ever have any problems arise
from thaw one? I don' think I remember. IF I remember right, you could actually come to the house and get the
gun from the house. Is that right?
Karen Lasley: We approved maybe 3 or 4 and we haven't had a problem with any of them.
Phil Russo: I have a question. I understand that that the previous approvals were for antique guns.
Donald Horsley: Not necessarily.
Karen Lasley: There were for some regular too.
Phil Russo: And when were those?
Karen Lasley: Over the last 10 years. Don't have that with me.
Phil Russo: Three or four in residential area over the last ten years.
Ronald Ripley: Are you ready for a motion?
Joseph Strange: I just want to make one more observation.
Jay Bernas: Are we in discussion?
Joseph Strange": We'll discuss it among us.
Donald Horsley: I want to thank him.
Joseph Strange: I want to thank him for coming here. I think you've given us quite an education. You know you
read about a lot of things and you hear it in the news, and now we have a real live person who deals with it every
day. To come here and give us his education and what he thinks. As you say, it is an ongoing process. I do thank
you very much for coming up. If there are no other questions, we will discuss this among ourselves and someone
will make a motion.
Collin Elane: Thank you.
Joseph Strange: Thank you very much. We will now open it for discussion among the commissioners. Mr. Bernas.
Jay Bernas: I really appreciate the applicant coming in. I think he was really well spoken. Like you said, he given us
Item #10
Solo Industries, L.L.C.
Page 9
an education on this whole process but for me the bottom line is, this is just a land use issue with, this conditional
use permit and does an online firearms sale dealer belong in a residential neighbor. And maybe I'm just an
engineer and naturally conservation but to me, I'm not just comfortable with it honestly but I wish he was selling
beads or coins or something less controversial but I can't think of anything more controversial than trying to sell
from your home firearms. Unless the commission, and I don't think they are really interested in this, that all the
firearms shipments would be sent to the dealer, I can' be onboard with this.
David Redmond: I don't hold that view. I think this is largely much ado about nothing. In residential area that is
where homes intend to be an application for a home base occupation. I admire very frankly the applicant's
entrepreneur spirit, but I don't have anything that would suggest to me that there would anything difficult that
raises the hair on the back of my neck by virtue of this one particular one spot within our City. I am very much
opposed to the idea of placing some restriction on this just because we think that we can. I don't' see any reason
why. He can keep as many guns as he likes in his home that he owns. I don't know why it would be any different,
for I could or Mr. Horsley can. I don't know why it would be any different if there is an occasional firearm that is
shipped to the home or someplace else. I am sure that are staff would be very attentive by the way, just let me
say that twice today, Mr. Whitney your staff has been complimented on its thoroughness and professional of their
work, so good for all of them. Now, I know they are going to be very attentive of this, and I'm sure that the ATF is
going to be very agentive to this. We have a small task which is to look at a home base occupation, and I don't see
anything that could cause me on that little narrow piece of turf on which were operating if you wanted to deny
this, or to overly restrictive for what I don't think are any real reasons to do so, so I'm going to support the
application. I would be opposed to putting any kind or restriction beyond what is in the application.
Joseph Strange: Mr. Felton
Chris Elton: I would support in the case of adding that condition that even if it was an administrative review
because as the gentleman said it would be the first in the commonwealth of Virginia. Beside his knowledge, North
Dakota and South Dakota, two other states are doing this. In a year to see, to see how it is going, not that
wouldn't happen anyway but. Is this something that has been allowed this to happen? Other people might start to
come to do this. I know I would feel more comfortable knowing that how the first one went to know if the other
ones should be grouped.
David Redmond: But it is not the first one maybe the online part is the first. It is the case right now where people
have home base businesses where they sell firearms. There is nothing first about this. The only thing that is first
perhaps is the use of the internet as median for it.
Joseph Strange: Let's be recognized when we make a statement. Mr. Russo
Phil Russo: I agree with Jay on this. I don't think this is something that we want to be promoting in our
neighborhoods. I understand and respect a person's ability to have firearms for their protection and hunting but
this is different. And, I especially have a problem with approving this just as somebody's hobby. It is not his
livelihood. He is not even dependent on it. It is really just a hobby. There was discussion about whether or not the
public would be able to identify his house as being basically a depository for firearms but Mr. Elane feels that it
won't be but I don't know. People find out about hear these things and it just invites break-ins. People looking for
firearms, even if there are no firearms, they think they are there. They break in. I think it invites havoc. Quite
frankly, I was impressed by Mr. Elane. I think he ought to take the place and open up his own storefront and
undercut the market that he think he can do through online sales. He is obvious bright enough and intelligent
enough to make a go of it but as far as this, I just have a lot of problem bringing this into our neighborhoods.
Joseph Strange: I will say this. I have a tendency to agree with Mr. Redmond. Whether we think it is politically
correct for this gentleman to sell guns. He is not doing anything illegal. He is not asking to sell drugs or something
illegal. All he is asking for is a right to participate in the American dream, and that is to be an entrepreneur to open
Item #10
Solo Industries, L.L.C.
Page 10
up a business. If the state doesn't want that type of business or government doesn't want it they can make it illegal
to do it. He is not asking for the right to do something to break the law or do something illegal. He is asking the
right to be an entrepreneur, to open up a business. You know in our country we say that people are innocent until
proven guilty. We have no indication to nothing that anything he is going to do is going to cause us any problem.
We have no evidence. We can speculate. We may not like people who sell guns. We might not like people who
sell coffins. The fact of the matter is it not against the law for that reason. If someone wants to put one year
review on it, and he wants to agree to that, I could go along with that, but that is about the only restriction.
Donald Horsley: With that being said, I would like to make a motion that the application be approve as submitted.
I think this is one of the most highly regulated businesses that you can have, I don't see where putting another
year of our review of is going to help make it any safer. You're dealing with the feds, AFF and who. Our review
would be kind of pointless. I move that it be approved as submitted.
Al Henley: I'll second it

Dear Mayor Sessoms,
I am writing to you as a member of the Point of View civic league regarding the request
by Harmony Investments to rezone a plat of land located on GreenNvich Rd. lam
,,,
opposed to llarmony's rezoning request. T fully support o od de -s elopment of that
property within the city's guidelines for its current 1-1 zoning, but I am opposed to
llarmony's request to allow the intrusion of multi -family apartments in an area that is
adjacent to my neighborhood. I am asking you to uphold the Ne,�vtown Strategic Gromh
Area plan approved unanimously by city council on July 6, 2010.
Than You for your attention to this request.
Sincerely
Charles Melvin, Jr.
Harmony also boasts of the taxable advantage in developing this property as apartments.
This land has never been developed so there is no reason to rush for a quick fix of short
term tax dollars. It would be more advantageous to develop this property similar to what
has been developed at The Convergence Center on Bonnie Road in the Pembroke SGA,
or develop similar to what is located on Cleveland Street off Newtown Road which lies
within this Newtown SGA. Those quality developments supply jobs and tax dollars that
are sustainable. The property in question is the gateway to our City. When viewed from
the expressway it announces our identity as a City and makes a statement of who we are
as a City. Virginia Beach is no longer the bedroom community of Norfolk.
Harmony Investments bought this property as existing I-1 zoned land in an existing
business district, not raw agricultural land, and I believe the newly adopted SGA should
be upheld.
Thank you for your time and attention to this important matter to our City.

Re: Rezoning request by Harmony Investments, Inc. Council Agenda March 8, 2011
Dear Mayor Sessoms and Members of Council:
I wish to state my opposition to the rezoning request by Harmony Investments, Inc. for a
change of zoning from I-1 to A-36 on a 6.97 acre parcel of land situated on Greenwich
Road, which property adjoins my office building.
The rezoning request is for a change of zoning in order to build 224 apartment units on a
small 6.97 acres of land. Currently, there is no other residential zoning on the entire
Greenwich Road. It is a business district with businesses such as the Virginian Pilot,
Hoffman Beverage and ECPI. The intrusion of residential would be spot zoning and out
of character for the area.
When this matter first came before City Council, it was decided by Council that the
Strategic Growth Area (SGA) for this area should be updated and studied in order for
Council to have the latest facts prior to voting on this request. I was invited to participate
in the study, which I did, and I attended all meetings. The conclusion of the nearly year
long study found that this property should remain in the present zoning of I -l. The new
SGA was then supported by Planning Staff, approved by the Planning Commission on
June 9, 2010 and adopted by City Council on July 6, 2010. I support the findings of the
independent study and ask City Council to follow the recommendations of the new SGA.
On January 13, 20111 attended a briefing at Point O' View elementary school that was
hosted by the applicant and their representatives. During their presentation the applicant,
Brooks Johnson, stated that although the surrounding property owners may believe that
this property would be developed like the rest of the existing businesses on Greenwich
Road, Harmony Investments has the "By Right" ability to develop this property as a gas
station, a heavy equipment yard, an Off Track Betting parlor or a Hooter's bar and
showed slides on a power point presentation, depicting each of those uses. In my opinion
any developer that uses those types of scare tactics, showing obnoxious uses in order to
intimidate the surrounding property owners, does not have the good of our City of
Virginia Beach at heart and should not be granted the benefit of the doubt concerning
their intentions. Rather, it should be the desire of all developers to develop our good City
in the highest and best possible use and be a benefit, not a detriment, to our City.
We respectfully request that you and members of City Council uphold the
findings and previously approved plans of the strategic Growth Area Study and
immediately and completely denied the request of Harmony Investments for rezoning.

As an adjacent property owner, I wish to state my opposition to the rezoning request made by
Harmony Investments, Inc. for a change of zoning from I-1 to A-36 for a parcel of land located on
Greenwich Road. My office building is located at 5295 Greenwich Road, and it is one of only four
properties adjacent to the proposed rezoning. The other three are Lakeside Construction, the
Virginian Pilot, and the neighborhood of Point O' View.
I have owned my office building for 35 years and choose this location because of the easy access to
the interstate system and, therefore, all of Hampton Roads and because of the business and office
environment of the Greenwich Road corridor. All of the property on Greenwich Road was and is
zoned for light industrial and business use. My office building is one of my biggest investments
and, if the adjoining property was rezoned to high density multi -family A-36 as requested, it would
hurt my property value and would restrict my ability to redevelop my property concerning set back
and screening requirements as per City Code.
The Greenwich Road business district, situated at the intersection of I-64 and 1-264, is a highly
desirable area for business to locate. Along with, attractive offices and hotels, we have the Virginian
Pilot, ECPI, Hoffman Beverage and the Medical institute located here. The intrusion of multi-
family housing would change the complexion of the area and, in my opinion, ruin the character of
our business district.
I participated in the Newtown Strategic Growth Area Study and attended the Public Hearing that
announced the study's findings. The study concluded that this property should remain I-1.1 was
pleased with the results of the independent study and support the findings of the Strategic Growth
Area Study.
I respectfully request that you and all Members of City Council uphold the findings of the Strategic
Growth Area Study and deny the application of Harmony Investments for rezoning. Thank you for
your attention to this important issue for our City.

Re: Harmony Investment, Inc. Rezoning February 22, 2011
Greenwich Road Corridor
Dear Mayor Sessoms and Member of City Council
We hereby wish to state our strong opposition to the rezoning request made by
Harmony Investments for the property they have purchased on Greenwich Road. We are
the owners of a free standing building that houses our well-established Dental practice,
Drs. Lyall and Kondoff, LLC. We are approximately 500 yards from the proposed
rezoning.
We chose to relocate from Norfolk (Koger Center -Leigh Memorial Area) thirteen
years ago and invest a significant amount of money in redeveloping our building @ 5291
Greenwich Road. Aside from the increased property tax, we pay a significant business
license and personal property tax as well. This Property is valuable not only as a revenue
generating entity, but provides a significant asset to our personal wealth and retirement
plans.
We strongly oppose the request to rezone from light Industrial/Business use to
High Density multifamily A* 36, which would significantly change the nature of this
100% business corridor. It is a highly valued location, with convenient access to I-264
and I-64, as evidenced by the quality and quantity of Business buildings and tenants.
This has been reinforced by the high occupancy rate in the entire corridor. Our Business
district has withstood this severe recession as well as any business district in the city.
The city funded a comprehensive SGA study. It was approved by the Planning
Commission June 9th, 2010, and by City Council on July 6, 2010. The study concluded
that this area should remain I-1 zoning.
Harmony Investments purchased this property with full knowledge of it current
zoning and the comprehensive proposals of the SGA study. High Density multifamily
will not only change the complexion of this area but will place increased demand on
traffic and other public services. Specifically, our building and adjacent buildings have
been subjected to vandalism and theft in the last year. We feel this problem would only
increase with the placement of apartment dwellings and the associated clientele that it
supports. This is a request by Harmony Investments to shift the down turn in commercial
real estate onto the long standing, quality owners and tenants in the Greenwich Road
corridor.

MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background:
This request to rezone a 6.97 acre parcel from 1-1 Light Industrial District to Conditional
A-36 Apartment District for the development of 224 apartment units was deferred
indefinitely by the City Council on January 11, 2010. The site is located within the
Newtown Strategic Growth Area and the application was deferred to allow completion of
the Newtown Strategic Growth Area Plan. The conditional rezoning proposal has not
changed since the March 11, 2009 staff report was prepared and details regarding the
development are described in the attached report.
The Planning Commission heard this rezoning request on February 11, 2009 and
deferred the application to allow more time for the applicant to work with the adjacent
Point of View neighborhood civic league who appeared in opposition. The Planning
Commission heard the request again on March 11, 2009, prior to starting work on the
Newtown Strategic Growth Area Plan, and recommended approval.
In 2009, also prior to starting work on the Newtown Strategic Growth Area Plan, the
Planning Department recommended approval of the rezoning application with some
reservations regarding the proposed suburban garden style of the apartment complex.
At that time, the Planning Department concluded that because the site was located
along the potential light rail corridor and was not encumbered by AICUZ regulations
limiting residential density, that the rezoning was appropriate. In addition, it was noted
that the applicants also owned the undeveloped property on the north side of Greenwich
Road and intended to develop that acreage with offices and a hotel to create a mixture
of uses.
■ Considerations:
Work on the Newtown Strategic Growth Area (SGA) Plan began in October 2009. Both
the Point of View Civic League and Harmony Investments participated on the Steering
Committee. All public meetings and focus group discussions were well attended by the
Civic League, many business owners and many property owners in the area. After much
work and deliberation, the Newtown SGA Plan was completed and adopted by City
Council in April 2010.
HARMONY INVESTMENTS, INC.
Page 2 of 3
The Newtown SGA Plan designates this site as part of Key Initiative #2: Eastern Office
Park and specifically recommends office/flex space type development for the subject
parcel in keeping with the existing zoning. The Plan concludes that this Eastern Office
Park is uniquely situated for office and business tenants seeking high visibility and
attractive open space amenities. It is noted that construction of the Greenwich Road
overpass and planned improvements to the adjacent ponds and trail system will make
this area an ideal setting for new office buildings or flex light industrial uses. The
property on the north side of Greenwich Road is seen as a gateway to the city, ideal for
Class A office buildings and the property on the south side of Greenwich Road, including
the subject site, is seen as ideal for flex type space for office or light industrial use.
Recommendation:
At this time, the Planning Department recommends that this application to rezone the
subject site from 1-1 Light Industrial to Conditional A-36 Apartment District be denied due
to the following:
1. The proposal is not in keeping with the Newtown Strategic Growth Area Plan which
recommends flex type office or light industrial use for this parcel. The existing 1-1
Light Industrial zoning is in conformance with the plan.
2. Since this application was submitted in 2009, plans for Greenwich Road have been
finalized. Greenwich Road will terminate in a cul-de-sac just east of the site and the
Greenwich Flyover will be constructed to the west. There is no connection, existing
or planned, across the Norfolk Southern right-of-way to the adjacent residential
neighborhood. The subject site will be a parcel at the end of a cul-de-sac in an
office/industrial area, making it an isolated and unsuitable location for an apartment
community.
3. Approval would result in spot apartment zoning in an area of existing and planned
office and industrial uses. Some of the existing industrial uses, such as the Virginian
Pilot facility and the beverage distribution facility both to the west of the subject site,
are heavier industrial in nature and not compatible with the proposed apartment
community. Retaining this site as part of a cohesive office/industrial area is best for
the long-term economic growth of the City.
4. The subject site is not within a 10 minute walk from the newly constructed light rail
station to the west in Norfolk or from any potential light rail stations planned if light
rail is extended into Virginia Beach. Both the Newtown SGA Plan and the Pembroke
SGA Plan designate a significant amount of medium to high density residential mixed
use within a 10 minute walking radius of all proposed light rail stations. Rezoning this
site for apartments will diminish the potential for those plans to succeed.
In conclusion, since the Planning Department first evaluated this rezoning proposal in
2009, there has been significant progress in both land use planning and transportation
programming in and around the Newtown Strategic Growth Area. Plans and capital
improvement programs have been approved which prompted a reappraisal of the earlier
reviews and as a result denial is recommended.

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Greenwich
Road is a two-lane undivided collector street. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has a project
in the vicinity of this development. The 1-264 Witchduck Road project is for the construction of collector -
distributor roads from westbound 1-64 to eastbound 1-264 and roadway improvements at the Newtown Road
and Witchduck Road interchanges. As part of the interchange improvements, a flyover is proposed over 1-264
from Greenwich Road to Cleveland Street. At this point, the flyover does not appear to directly impact this
application; however, the alignment has not been finalized. There may be indirect impacts to this site, such as
a cul-de-sac on Greenwich Road east of the site and the connection to the flyover, which would redirect all the
site traffic west rather than split between the east and west directions.
Public Works / Traffic Engineering:
The proposed development does not meet the criteria that trigger a Traffic Impact Analysis under
VDOT Section 527.
A left turn lane is required on Greenwich Road for the eastern (main) entrance to the site. This left turn
lane meets the requirements of Section 3.11 within the City of Virginia Beach Public Works
Specifications and Standards and must be designed accordingly.
Right-of-way improvements such as pavement widening, sidewalk, curb and gutter, streetlights, and

drainage will be required along Greenwich Road.
• A Traffic Signal Bond may be required for a potential signal at Greenwich Road and the future flyover.
Since the status of the flyover project could change by the time this plan, if approved, undergoes Site
Plan review, the bond requirement for necessity and amount will be evaluated at that time.

To ensure the ability of emergency responders to quickly locate dwellings, numerical addresses (building
numbers and unit numbers) are to be displayed as required by the City Code. The color of numbers should be
in stark contrast to the background color of the building surface and be clearly visible from the parking lot.
Recommendation: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this
request with the submitted proffers. The proffers are provided below.
Comprehensive Plan:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site to be within Strategic Growth Area 3 (Newtown SGA).
Strategic Growth Areas are designated to absorb most of the city's future growth, both residential and
non-residential and, as such, are planned for more intensive uses than most other areas of the city.
Another common characteristic is the practice of integrating, not separating, a diverse cluster of land
uses. These result in a compact, yet compatible mix of uses. They include office, retail, service, hotel and,
where appropriate, residential uses. (Pages 57-58)
Where opportunities present themselves, development in Strategic Growth Area 3 should include mix of
mid to high-rise office buildings as well as lower intensity light industrial and other non-residential uses.
Some added retail uses scaled to support the local employment base may be appropriate.
Evaluation:
The request to rezone this site from 1-1 Light Industrial District to Conditional A-36 Apartment District for
the purpose of developing the site with 224 multi -family dwellings, parking, landscaping, leasing office,
clubhouse and pool is acceptable. The proposed development, considered by itself, does not comply in
every respect with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for Strategic Growth Area 3;
however, the proposed overall project of offices, hotel, and multi -family dwellings will provide a mixture of
uses consistent with the recommendations of the plan.
As previously noted in this report, the applicant has secured this site as well as the sites north of
Greenwich Road adjacent to Interstate 1-264 and plans to develop those sites with offices and a hotel.
The proposed 1-264 flyover connecting Greenwich Road with Cleveland Street, north of 1-264, is planned
to the west of this site. When the flyover is developed, a cul-de-sac will be developed on Greenwich Road
east of the site, terminating any through traffic from Witchduck Road to Newtown Road. The applicant's
proposed Greenwich Village will then be a truly integrated development, as Greenwich Road at this
location will have no through traffic.
It must also be noted that the Light Rail Transit (LRT) from downtown Norfolk to the Norfolk / Virginia
Beach border will terminate at Newtown Road, less than a mile from this site. The applicant proposes to
market to young professionals who will work in the future offices across Greenwich Road or utilize the
light-rail system as means of travel to and from work in Norfolk.
PROFFERS
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The
HARMONY INVESTMENTS, INC.

copy of which is on file with the Department of Planning and has been exhibited to the City Council.
PROFFER 3:
Further conditions lawfully imposed by applicable development ordinances may be required by the grantee
during detailed site plan and / or subdivision review and administration of applicable City Codes by all
cognizant City agencies and departments to meet all applicable City Code requirements.
STAFF COMMENTS: The proffers listed above are acceptable as they dictate the level of quality of the
project.
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the proffer agreement dated October 31, 2008, and found it to be
legally sufficient and in acceptable legal form.
NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances.
Plans submitted with this rezoning application may require revision during detailed site plan review to
meet all applicable City Codes and Standards.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police
Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design

Change of Zoning District Classification

March 11, 2009
REGULAR
Donald Horsley: The next item is item 18, Harmony Investments, Inc. An application of
Harmony Investments for a Change in Zoning District Classification from I-1 Light
Industrial District to Conditional A-36 Apartment District on property located at 5321
Greenwich Road, District 2, Kempsville.
Warren Tisdale: Good afternoon. My name is Warren Tisdale. I'm an attorney. My office is
at One Commercial Place, in Norfolk. We also have offices at Town Center. I'm pleased
today to be here to represent Harmony Investments, which is the applicant. Harmony is
represented today by Brooks Johnson. I also have with Bob Miller and Mike Perry, both of
MSA. When I was here before you last time, and I won't repeat all of my comments again,
but try to stress two things. One was quality. I told you about the team that had been put
together to come up with a conceptual plan for this property, and the team that came up with
the elevation. We created the kind of team that knew what they were doing, and they put
together a quality product. The construction costs for this proposal are in the neighborhood
of $28 million dollars, so it warranted that kind of treatment. What you did not have before
you last time and what you now have, and I understand the booklet was circulated at the
informal meeting this morning, were some illustrations, which sometimes when you look at
things like this they seem to be a little sterile. You don't get a feel for what they look like at
street level. The material you saw this morning gave you some perspective that really gives
you an idea of the quality of the materials and the quality of the design that is going to go
into this. The qualities and materials, again, they are all focused towards creating the kind of
environment that attracts young professionals. There is a pool. There is a workout room.
These are amenities that we think would make this attractive to that demographic and the
kind of people that we would like to see live there. You saw in the materials also that in
terms the spread on the types of apartments, I think there are 96 singles, 122 doubles, 2
bedrooms and then 6 three bedrooms. Again, that spread, and the rents running from $1,100
to $1,700 projected, all fits our plan, and backs up with what it is we tell you that we want to
do there. Other than quality, what I stressed was location. I stressed that the location was in
Strategic Grown Area 3, and again that needs repeating. It is in a Strategic Growth Area. As
you all know too well, those are areas that are designated by the policymakers as appropriate
for more intensive development with the idea to concentrate development along certain
arteries or certain gateways so that you can get a handle on the sprawl that otherwise would
affect you. If you look at the Comprehensive Plan, the Strategic Growth Plan, I think as the
staff report noted, what we're proposing when considered in the context of Greenwich Center
as a whole in addition to the apartments that are planned here does fit within the
Comprehensive Plan. A couple of other things about location is that it is on I-264.

Unfortunately, while some of the things that I'm going to talk about later to get this away
from the automobile to a great extent of getting around Hampton Roads involves getting to
one of the main highways like I-264 or getting on the interstate system. Having this many
residents close to that highway says they are not spending a lot of time on neighborhood
streets getting to the main roads to go to other towns or other cities or other locations in
Hampton Roads makes a lot of sense. Another thing about the location that makes good sense
is that it is very close to Town Center. Again, I don't have to speak to this group about the
critical mass that the city is seeking there. This many units very close to Town Center
creates the kind of demographic that hopefully will tend to congregate around Town Center
to use the facilities, to use the amenities, the restaurants that are available now, and are going
to be available there in the future. Finally, looking towards the future and looking away from
the automobile, this location is only a mile away from what is going to be the Newtown
Station for the Light Rail. Right now, that only gives you a perspective westward.
Hopefully, in the future, we might be able to look eastward, but now, for somebody who
lives in those apartments, it will be a short bicycle ride or a short jaunt to get on the Light
Rail if they were to choose to live in Norfolk. That is another reason, again it sort of
ducktails nicely with this City's designation of Strategic Growth Areas. Now, Strategic
Growth Area 3, when it was created, it was acknowledged there is a neighborhood, Point O'
View there, of course, which is R-10 district. And, the line had to be drawn somewhere and
it was drawn, I think in a manner where again, the policy makers and the planners decided
that it could be drawn with the least impact on single-family neighborhood. And, the natural
or the existing barrier that exists there of course is the railroad tracks, the railroad tracks, in
which the Light Rail would run, if it doesn't continue eastward. Now, the railroad tracks
essentially seal off any vehicular access between this development and the neighborhood to
the south. Greenwich Road runs from Newtown Road to Witchduck, and really there is no
connection between to get back into these neighborhoods. You saw in the staff report the trip
generation information on how many trips would be created for purposes of getting on
Greenwich Road. It would be an interesting to say how many vehicles are gong to come
from this project into the neighborhood in Point O' View along Parliament and Academy.
And the answer would be zero because there is no way to get there. The only reason for
them to go to the neighborhood is if they had a friend or an acquaintance there who they
wanted to visit. So, that is why the railroad tracks and the traffic situation provide a good
buffer for what otherwise is encouraged by the Strategic Growth Area. It's true that there are
about 10 houses, I guess along Academy or Parliament who backup to the railroad lines now.
Their backyards are right on the railroad line. The railroad property is 66 feet deep, and then,
the first building is 75 feet beyond that. So, there is some separation. We can't do much
about the visual impact. But the fact of the matter is if these works are going to have
neighbors they do not have before. Everybody likes the idea of comparing to what you
propose to what is there now, which is nothing but of course the correct analysis is what
might otherwise be developed there, and you can't always rely on that property being vacant.
So, what we're proposing now, as I understand was also circulated at the informal meeting is
to provide a six-foot high privacy fence along the south side of the subject property. We
propose the following plantings on the outside of the fence, large deciduous shade trees,
evergreen shrubs, and ornamental flowering shrubs with the purpose being to provide
screening for the adjacent neighborhood. You can see this perspective is somewhat from the
Item #18
Harmony Investments, Inc.
Page 3
neighborhood looking up to where you can see the tracks, the fence with the landscaping on
this side. I think there was a comment at the information meeting about sort of the stalk
appearance of the fence looking at it from the inside. We also propose to put not the same
level of landscaping but some evergreen type shrubs on the inside of the fence also, again,
with the idea of trying to provide some visual shield from the perceived impacts of the
apartments on the neighborhood. Again, I think we got a quality project. I think we got a
good location. I know the people in Point O' View would rather we did something else. We
met with a group of them at the direction of the Planning Commission on February 23, 2009.
They had a group of very well-prepared people who had done their homework. We sat down
and had a very respectful direct meeting. As might have been expected, there wasn't much
room for compromise, I don't think on either side. But we did, I think, certainly in a civil
fashion, discuss the issues. We did let them know what our approach was, and they were
certainly articulate in expressing their comments on that, but we did meet with them, I think,
under very good circumstances.
Janice Anderson: Thank you for meeting with them Mr. Tisdale. Thank you. I got a
question. What is the height of the fence you're proposing?
Warren Tisdale: Six feet.
Janice Anderson: Are there any other questions?
Ronald Ripley: I got a question. I appreciate the additional elevations that you provided.
They don't clarify some things. As you can see on the previous ones submitted, and they
show quality, with the brick and the rock cast and different materials but a couple of other
questions. These are just details. Railings and your proposed columns, and what kind of
material would this be made out of?
Warren Tisdale: Bob Miller is here and he might the right person to address that to since I
don't know the answer.
Ronald Ripley: Is it fiberglass columns. The reason why I bring it up is we want material
that will last.
Robert Miller: I am Bob Miller with MSA, and the architect was here Henry. I am sure he
was. He's gone.
Henry Livas: Okay.
Robert Miller: I apologize. But yes it will be vinyl and or acrylic type finishes so they are
maintenance -free. But I am not an architect.
David Redmond: That is what you keep saying.

Janice Anderson: Are there any other questions for Mr. Tisdale at this time? Thank you.
Warren Tisdale: Thank you.
Donald Horsley: The first speaker in opposition is John Settle.
Janice Anderson: Welcome sir. Please state your name for the record.
John Settle: Madame Chairman, Vice Chairman, Commission Members, and staff. Good
afternoon. My name is John Settle and I live at 5201 Academy Court. Before we get started,
if we could see these secret documents for the first time, and that would be great. If we could
move them to where we could see the Commission members as well? There are a lot of
people who are blocked.
Janice Anderson: Mr. Tisdale do you mind? Have these seen these elevations yet?
John Settle: We have not seen these at all. I want to thank you for the 30 day deferral that
you allowed for the applicant, Harmony Investments, to meet with Point O' View to come to
an agreement. I wish I could report a positive outcome from that meeting. As their
representative related, there was no compromise. Not from our side. We came there willing
to think completely out of the box and I will just tell you right now, they would not come off
of A-36 period. But let me get into what I wanted to tell you. A delegation of five Point O'
View residents met with Harmony Investments and their representatives, me being one of
them. We went to this meeting with an open mind and a willingness to work together to reach
a fair and equitable solution. In our meeting, we asked if there were any other uses that
Harmony might consider other than A-36. Completely off the chart, we were asking for
anything such as assisted living or any lower -density residential use. Harmony's response
was that A-36 was the one and only option that was on the table for discussion. In this
meeting, we inquired if they would provide any protection to the Point O' View
neighborhood from the high density apartments, and initially, a wooden fence, but now I
understand it is a plastic fence, shrubs, and a redirection of the light. We attended this
meeting in good faith and to show due diligence, but the applicant was adamant in the A-36.
There was no compromise. No amount of buffers can overcome the shear size and scope of
this proposed structure. I do want to point out to the Planning Commission that this property
is located in Strategic Growth Area 3. Everybody wants to keep dropping the numbers.
Three is Newtown. It is not Pembroke. It is not Strategic Growth Area 4. The map on the
Comprehensive Plan clearly shows on page 66 that we are in 3 and not 4. And also the
recommendations on page 67 of the Comprehensive Plan and I quote, " where opportunities
present themselves development in this area should include a mix of mid to high rise
buildings as well as lower intensity light industrial and other non-residential uses. "That is
Item #18
Harmony Investments, Inc.
Page 5
the contract that we have with the City of Virginia Beach. We are here to ask the Planning
Commission to uphold the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, the Strategic
Growth Area document, and to protect our homes from this multi -family intrusion by voting
no to this rezoning request. We have made the largest investment of our lives in our homes
knowing that we live adjacent to I-1 Light Industrial zoned land without question for all of
these years, some of them over 33 years. Our industrial neighbors have been good neighbors
in the past. Greenwich Road is mostly complete with industrial and offices such as Hoffinan
Beverage, the Virginian -Pilot, ECPI, and other high quality businesses. We are not asking
for the character of this area to be changed but to leave it as it is presently zoned and have the
applicant redevelop it under these guidelines. We do not object to development. We just
want this property to remain light industrial, as all other property along Greenwich Road.
We definitely need the light industrial for the much needed jobs in this economy. I am
representing the neighborhood and have presented a petition with over 200 signatures. If I
could have those people stand up now please for the circulation. And I might add that is a 98
percent signing. The two percent are the people that are retired and in Florida or are deployed
in the military. We have several military families in our area. I thank you for your time and
concern over this request. I'm available for any questions, and as you can see by the turn
out, we're very passionate about this topic. Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Thank you very much Mr. Settle. I thank everyone for coming down. Are
there any questions of Mr. Settle? Go ahead.
Eugene Crabtree: I got one question. You said that when you met with the developer that
they were unwilling to give whatsoever in their compromise. It appears to me that neither
side was willing to give. Am I true with that statement?
John Settle: No sir. I think and I can rephrase this back to you. What would you think
would be a fair compromise, fifty percent of thirty-six?
Eugene Crabtree: I'm just saying. You said they wouldn't compromise. You also have
indicated that you did not want to compromise; so, the meeting did not come to any fruition
right?
John Settle: We offered less than A-36, whether that is A-24, A-18, which is a fifty percent,
which is a compromise. And they said we could stop right there. We're not coming off of A-
36.
Eugene Crabtree: Okay.
Janice Anderson: Are there any other questions?
Kathy Katsias: So, if we were going to ask you today, what would you compromise A-24?
What were you going to suggest to them if there was a compromise?
Item #18

Page 6
John Settle: I think that this late in the game for us to try to circumvent the Planning
Commission's documents and the Strategic Growth Area, I don't think it is fair for us. I think
the Planning Commission is the organization that says that we should stick to Strategic
Growth Area 3. We feel A-24 is the maximum we would even consider much less what the
neighborhood says. Obviously, I think A-24 height limitation would be far more palatable
than an A-36. Now, am I going to say that I'm gong to agree to that? We would have to
look at the elevations and things of that nature. Again, as we alluded earlier, there was more
outside of the code that's inside the code. I can't tell you let's go A-24 without
acknowledging that if you live by the sword, you die by the sword. We have lived by that
document as well.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. Go ahead Al.
Al Henley: Mr. Settle, and I've spoken to a number of people in your community, there
seems to be a lot of opposition because of the height of this huge structure that is proposed,
which are four stories. Would reducing it to three stories, would that appease your
neighborhood to some degree?
John Settle: I think it would be very much in the right direction. Yes sir.
Al Henley: Or would you see across the street. I know that across the street from Greenwich
Road, there are some professional buildings and offices. If this plan was flipped -flopped,
how would the community feel about that?
John Settle: I think the community would embrace it even greatly. That was one of the ideas
that we brought to the table. Could we slide the apartment complex on the other side of the
street? Maybe move some of the offices over here. We also asked them in that same line of
thought is can we do these developments at the same time. We seem to be putting the cart in
front of the horse, and we just felt there were other motives for sticking to their A-36. Yes, I
totally agree. We would really rather have the light industrial on this side, which is currently
zoned with and have those buffers than have that tall structure of four floors.
A] Henley: Okay. Thank you.
John Settle: Yes sir.
Janice Anderson: Are there any other questions? Thank you.
John Settle: Thank you ma'am.
Donald Horsley: Our next speaker is Marcellus Heath.
Janice Anderson: Welcome sir.
Marcellus Heath: Good afternoon, Madame Chairman and Commission members. My name
Item #18
Harmony Investments, Inc.
Page 7
is Marcellus Heath. My wife and I have lived at 116 S. Parliament Drive for 28 years. We
raised our daughter at this address, and from the first grade up through college. In 1980,
when we were thinking of purchasing another home, we contacted a real estate agent and told
her we were looking for a quiet neighborhood in a very stable area, preferably in the
Kempsville section of Virginia Beach. She came back to us in a couple of weeks and told
my wife that she had found a perfect house for us. I was out of town at the time so my wife
called me, and she was so excited that I could hardly wait to get back. When I returned, and
we both visited the property, we immediately decided that it was the home and the
neighborhood for us. Through the years I have come to realize that most of the families still
living in the area were original occupants or builders of the homes, which they presently
occupy. And a number of instances when homes have been sold, the sons and daughters who
were raised in the neighborhood are now occupying them. This is evidence of the stability
that we have witnessed in this neighborhood. My wife and I, now in our retirement years, are
looking forward to remaining in our home as long as health permits. We are therefore
opposed to the introduction of multi -family dwellings in the area, both from an aesthetic
point of view and we are concerned with the possible financial effect on our property and the
lowering of values. Therefore, we, along with an overwhelming majority of our neighbors,
who you have seen stand here, are asking that you recommend denial of the request to rezone
the property under consideration from I-1 to A-36. We thank you for your indulgence and for
your consideration.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Mr. Heath. Are there any questions for Mr. Heath? Thank
you.
Donald Horsley: Our next speaker is William Dudley.
William Dudley: Madame Chairman, Commission and staff. My name is William Dudley,
and I live at 521 Executive Boulevard in Point O' View. I've lived in the Point O' View
neighborhood for 17 years, although I look very youthful. You never knew that. And, I'm
also the president of the Point O' View Civic League. When we were meeting with the
neighbors talking about this proposed project, and walking door to door, and talking with
them, by a large margin, the number one question that came up time and time and time again
was how is this going to affect the security of our neighborhood? Now, crime in a high -
densely populated area is no secret. It goes up. And by putting a highly -dense development
right at the foot, congruent to our neighborhood, can only do one thing if it follows trends
and that is increase the crime rate. Walk through crime rate and things of that nature.
Actually, I went on to the Virginia Beach website, the Police Department and the crime
report from January 1, 2009 through March 9, 2009, reports significantly more crimes in an
adjacent, highly densely populated neighborhood that is adjacent to our neighborhood. It is
across the other side of Parliament. But, over twice the crime, the walkthrough crime, as it
relates to walk through crime through our neighborhood that goes back to that other highly
densely populated neighborhood is referenced there. They can build fences. They can build
berms. They can plant shrubs. But none of that is going to stop walk-through traffic, crime,
and that is going to be associated with a dramatic increase in population. So, the question that
our neighbors have for you is, are you all willing to help protect us on this issue? Thank you.

Janice Anderson: Thank you very much Mr. Dudley.
Donald Horsley: Our next speaker is Gail Settle.
Janice Anderson: Welcome.
Gail Settle: Thank you. Madame Chairman, Commission members, staff, ladies and
gentleman. My name is Gail Settle. I live at 5201 Academy Court in Virginia Beach. In the
staff evaluation, the applicant's request, it states and I quote, "the proposed development
considered by itself does not comply in every respect with the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan" or Strategic Growth Area 3. If the Comprehensive Plan means
anything please vote against this proposed rezoning. The Strategic Growth Areas focuses on
a higher density development that will allow retail commercial and residential uses in a more
compacted geographical area. That is the model. The goal is, I believe, what the City wants
to see is that we have people live, work and shop within easy walking distance. I want to
specifically address the live part of this triad, as it relates to this rezoning request. I would
not feel safe. Let me back up a minute. There was some discussion at the previous Planning
Commission meeting about how the apartment complex as going to be connecting to the
proposed office building and the hotel across the street using walkways and crossways. I
would not feel safe even if there are crossings or walkways on Greenwich Road connecting
these two properties. If the proposed flyover is built, a pedestrian would feel even less secure
due to the influx of traffic. My point is that this area is not pedestrian friendly. The plan
review addresses an increase in traffic, and it make sense that traffic will increase with this
residential complex, but if I were a parent or a young professional out for a jog, I would be
concerned about the traffic, but not only that but concerned about the type of vehicles
traveling up and down Greenwich Road. I'm still continuing with the live part of the triad.
Noise would be a concern and greatly impacts the quality of life, and I hear the interstate
actually everyday from my home. And this complex would be even closer to the interstate
than my home is. When and if we get Light Rail, I see this complex as being subjected to
noise from all sides regardless of how each of the three buildings are positioned on the
property. Amenities are not very many. Down the street there is a Ruby Tuesday and a
Denny's. What about necessities? A grocery store or a laundrymat are definitely now within
walking distance? My point is that the complex is not suitable to the City's model of live,
work, and play. To summarize, I think viable planning supports growth and tax revenue.
The City knows this. That is why we have guidelines such as the Comprehensive Plan. This
is a stand-alone community. It is out of place. It's an elephant in the room. It's a spaceship.
Point O' View is a stable beacon of light. By approving this zoning change you will dim this
light forever. Thank you.

Warren Tisdale: Thank you.
Jay Bernas: Jan?
Janice Anderson: Yes.
Jay Bernas: Is it appropriate for me to ask staff a question now before we go to rebuttal?
Janice Anderson: Yes.
Jay Bernas: Can I ask Mr. Whitney a question?
Jack Whitney: Of course.
Jay Bemas: This is related to the Strategic Growth Areas. I guess my concern is that where
we're at with the Strategic Growth Area 3, is that we haven't started any of the Charettes or
anything like that yet, and looking at what we have in the Comprehensive Plan, you know, is
says where appropriate residential uses. And part of the Strategic Growth Area processes,
you get the public involved. You have these Charettes. With the number of people here, my
concern is that once we get to that Charette part, they're not going want residential in this
area. So, the thought that they're appropriate to have residential uses, you know, in getting
the public input. I mean it's like they're almost all here. I guess my concern from a Strategic
Growth Area standpoint, what do you think could come out of this? Because Newtown is a
little bit different. It is different than Pembroke. This one sounds like it is more non-
residential and residential where appropriate. Can you talk a little bit about Newtown in
general?
Jack Whitney: The good news about that is that we have identified funding and are getting
ready to publish and advertise a request for proposals to begin that process, public
involvement in more detail in planning, and up to date future considerations, that this
Strategic Growth Area can play given today's realities. We've got for example 12 to 13,
kind of if you include the Resort Area current Strategic Growth Areas. Less than half of
them would have as a compatible use residential development due to AICUZ impacts. This
would be one of those that residential would not be ruled out given that consideration. It buts
up against Strategic Growth Area 4, Pembroke, and that same process is well underway right
now in Pembroke, and it is going quite well. We would anticipate that the Newtown
Strategic Growth Area process, which would include these kinds of Charettes that you
mentioned, including all of the residents and all the other stakeholders that care to participate
will begin, hopefully in late Spring, and that process would take 4 to 6 months. It is what our
experience has been in other Strategic Growth Areas. We would look at a number of
different options and scenarios, which may or may not include residential development. We
know that it is a heavily industrially zoned corridor. There is almost no residential
development in the Strategic Growth Area as it is current configured. Not saying that we
might make some changes to what we find geographically as the Strategic Growth Area.
We're really excited about getting to that detail work. It has been a real pleasure where we
Item #18
Harmony Investments, Inc.
Page 10
have done it in the other Strategic Growth Areas. The possibility of Light Rail running
through this corridor is a possibility. No decisions have been made officially yet, but we are
in negotiations as everyone is aware to acquire the right-of-way along this property from
Norfolk Southern Corporation. We also know that improvements to I-264 including a
flyover at Greenwich Road, is a very high priority project. Unfortunately, the funding for
that is unclear at this point. Also unclear is when exactly those improvements could be made
given the economic situation we all find ourselves in. Those plans include the cul-de-sacing
of Greenwich Road. The role that Greenwich Road plays now is to be dramatically different
if, and when, that project is built. It will be cul-de-sac. It will be a gateway between this
Strategic Growth Area and the Pembroke Strategic Growth Area. The traffic will flow down
Cleveland Street. You can see it up in the corner (pointing to PowerPoint). So the dynamics
of the area will change. I'm not sure exactly what the timetable would be in all that. We've
discussed all that. The applicant is well aware of all of those issues converging in this part of
the city. We have encouraged mixed-use development as a planning principal in our
Strategic Growth Areas. They are designed and intended to accommodate tremendous
amount of future growth and redevelopment in the City. They were designed for that
purpose. And where it is appropriate and on the basis of a lot of public input, there might be
higher densities and different mixes of uses, including lots of trails and connectivity as part
of the outcome of that process. We've encouraged the applicant, who also is involved in the
properties on the other side of Greenwich Road, to look at planning and design concepts that
would allow for more future integration of the parcels and opportunities for bike paths and
other kinds of ways for people to connect and flow through this Strategic Growth Area. So
there is a lot getting ready to happen right now. We feel at this point, in viewing this
particular proposal, the concept of mixed-use and tying it together is consistent with the
approach that the Comprehensive Plan has taken up until now, speaking of which, we are
also heavily involved in the updating of that plan. The Comprehensive Plan was prepared, as
you well know, in 2003. There has been a lot of changes in the community since then, and
we've got to rethink a lot of the recommendations that the 2003 Comprehensive Plan
included and our revision of that. So, there is a lot going on: Strategic Growth Areas,
Comprehensive Plan update, major road and mass transit improvements. So, we're trying to
take all of that into account. One of things that we are particularly proud of is the intensive
degree of public involvement. As we move forward both on the Comprehensive Plan and the
details of the Strategic Growth Area work, we certainly hope the folks here will, regardless
of what happens with this particular application, join us and come together in a forum like
this, and try to arrive at a community consensus for how we evaluate proposals like this and
others in the future.
Janice Anderson: Mr. Tisdale? Thank you.
Warren Tisdale. Just a few points. The number of units that we have requested is 224. It is
A-36. That is what we're asking for. What we're asking for is ten percent below what we
would be entitled to under A-36. So it is not like were trying to cram as many units in there
as we can. I'm not sure what the height is of the Virginian -Pilot manufacturing facility, but
in terms of scope and scale and looking at things, it is has been there for a number of years I
think it is approximately the same height as what we would be building. Certainly, the
Item #18
Harmony Investments, Inc.
Page 11
comments of the residents are well taken. But I'm especially interested in the comments of
those who are actually right by the railroad. Certainly, if anybody has a reason to come up to
tell you what they think about it, it's those ten houses. The rest of the neighborhood, and I
know they have a great turnout here today, but the rest of the neighborhood, I think
geometrically as you move away from it, certainly the scale argument loses a lot force. In
the office buildings that we would put there in any kind of perceived switch would also be
very high. They would have to be six stories. We have always assumed or least we can
work with either plan, the Greenwich Road is cul-de-sac. That is okay. If it is not, that is
okay. That really doesn't effect what we think we could do there to create this really great
apartment of development, again to sort of hit on this response to various things that we've
brought up. Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Thank you. I have a question for Faith if I could? What's the height
restriction for A-36 and what is the height on I-1?
Faith Christie: It is double the distance of the building to the centerline of the road.
Janice Anderson: Run that by me again?
Faith Christie: Double the distance of the building to the centerline of the road.
Janice Anderson: Okay.
Faith Christie: So, if you're 60 feet from the centerline in the road, 120 foot in height.
Janice Anderson: Okay.
Karen Lasley: In the industrial, there is no rear line setback back there because it's the
railroad right-of-way.
Janice Anderson: So, they can build right up to their property line, and then, it could be a
rather large structure there?
Karen Lasley: Yes.
Janice Anderson: Yes.
Faith Christie: And the height for A-36 is 120 feet.
Janice Anderson: 120.
Kathy Katsias: Industrial is the same.
Faith Christie: It could be more than that depending on how far they set their building back.
Item #18
Harmony Investments, Inc.
Page 12
Janice Anderson: Okay. Thank you. I'll open it up for discussion. Go ahead Henry?
Henry Livas: I have a question. If we lowered it down to three stories, does that impact a lot
on the rent and make it not economically feasible? How would that affect you?
Warren Tisdale: Certainly, I don't know if it would impact the rents, but taking it down to
three keeps you from getting the units that we need to make it work. We lose a quarter of the
units.
David Redmond: Ms. Christie? Let me ask you something. A number of speakers made
reference to this, which is the application is not in every way conforming to the
Comprehensive Plan. Can you give us a thumbnail sketch of the ways in which it does not?
Is that easier than Jan's question? I thought Jan's question was hard.
Faith Christie: No. Actually the application as a stand-alone application does not comply
with the Comprehensive Plan.
David Redmond: It's the mixed use of it.
Faith Christie: It's the mixed used of the proposed overall development for the property to
the north of the offices and the hotel that makes it comply with the Comprehensive Plan.
David Redmond: Okay. My view, Mr. Ripley mentioned this morning and I sort of agree
with him, I view this as a stand-alone site. If you look at the two together, they are about as
funny as the point at the end of that property, and that kind of activity is going to be
extraordinary in terms of making them function as one integral unit. But that is a challenge.
It is not a death sentence in my view. I will say this though. And I'm still struggling with
this and I'm struggling with it for a couple of reasons. For reason number one is because
there is an awful lot of people who oppose it. But, with all that said, this is an area where we
intended for growth to occur. It is a Strategic Growth Area. As we get into the Strategic
Growth Area process, and it begins to work out over not just this spring, but over years, we
are going to run into some places we have not been before. And, this is a little bit different. I
will say this to the folks who oppose it. I don't see frankly, the enormous attraction to I-1
Light Industrial. There are a lot of things in I-1 that are not all that much fun. This building
to me looks an awful lot more attractive than does the Virginian -Pilot plant. Traffic that
would be involved with it will be at least residential as opposed to newspaper trucks at 5:00
in the morning. My father built an office on Greenwich Road probably about 40 years ago.
I've been up and down it my entire life before he died. So, I'm well familiar with it. I
frankly think that the addition of more diverse uses other than simply light industrial would
probably be good thing. And, I do think that what we have seen today is better than what we
saw a month ago. I am concerned, and I don't know what my answer is but I would not wed
myself to I-1 Light Industrial. There are plenty of things there can turn out badly and turn out
ugly and turnout undesirable. It is not going to remain as it is today. It is not simply going to

Janice Anderson: Thank you Dave. Jay?
Jay Bernas: Initially, I thought that the plan was fine. It had mixed-use. It was higher
density. That is what we wanted in the Strategic Growth Areas, but after seeing the
significant turnout, from the adjacent neighborhood, my bigger concern is how does this
development fit in the big picture of Strategic Growth Area 3? My biggest concern is that
since we haven't gotten started with that strategic planning, and we haven't had these
Charettes. In those Charettes, you're in there hands-on trying to help shape their community.
And, I'm just concerned that we're just looking at this small piece of the puzzle and the big
puzzle and the big picture of the Strategic Growth Area, and that if we were a little bit further
along. If we had the Charette process, but I'm guessing they want I-1. I wouldn't be
comfortable living next to I-1 honestly, but that is what they say they want. We've got to
listen to the community. That is what we are here to do. For me, initially like I said, I
thought it was a decent plan, but now taking a step back and looking at the big picture,
listening to the citizens, I'm not sure I can support it.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Jay. Ron, then Al.
Ronald Ripley: A couple of things, and I'll echo what Dave said about the Strategic Growth
Area. The purpose of the Strategic Growth Area is to find an area that we can actually grow
as a city, and not grow out into the neighborhoods. You run into clashes, as this is what we
have here, or right abutting a neighborhood. And, I think that brings up a point that, and it is
a valid point too, but it is a point that was addressed in the Pembroke Implementation Plan
that we have just been working on, where there were concern when we were looking at the
Strategic Growth Area and any area that is adjacent to a residential area, the concerns were
exactly this. They try to buffer proper so there is a good relationship between the
neighborhood and the increasing Strategic Growth Area growth, if you will. I think the
applicant has attempted to address this by providing the fencing and the landscaping that will
eventually grow to be a substantial buffer. I think in the process of the light rail, and we are
going to be going through that process, that part of it ought to be the consideration of a buffer
on the other side of the right-of-way that buffers their property as well. In fact, that could be
part of the overall infrastructure. And, I just don't bring this neighborhood up. It is the
neighborhood that we're talking about right now. But that is actually the case along the light
rail, and the Charettes that we have just been through. Those were the discussions. That
was very important. Those kinds of buffers could be developed to help ensure the quality of
the neighborhood. There is going to be this clashing, and when you get the light rail running
up and down there that is going to be a noise element. There is a noise element from the
road, and I know that because we own property near the roads too. You do get this elevated
noise level coming off the expressway. A positive thing, and I know the height seems to be
negative, but a positive thing is a massing of the building, which helps insulate the sound to
the neighborhood. That is a very positive thing. I'm telling you that anytime you raise the
level of the road, and that expressway is a raised elevated road, you get a higher level of
noise coming off of it. And this will help buffer those noises as would an industrial building
too. I'm not overlooking that. I'm just saying that one of the benefits of the height of this
building is the buffering of noise. I think the application is, and I'm going to support the
Item #18

application. I think they have addressed the needs, and I think they have tried to address the
concerns of the residents the best they could do, and I will be supporting it.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Ron. Al?
Al Henley: I try to keep an open mind on everything that comes before the Planning
Commission, and I have given this a lot of thought. I've spoken to the applicant a number of
times. I greatly respect him, and have known him for a very many years. But, I think the key
element here is. Let me back up a little bit. The City of Virginia Beach in the early history
has been criticized greatly for its poor planning and for not allowing to spot development and
whatever comes out of that it is, what we thought at that particular time was a great
opportunity for the City and the citizens go live in, and we learned from that poor planning is
that those neighborhoods are those strip shopping centers today because of the aging and
because there is a lot of recent spoil o that. Those things do not fit properly in a residential
neighborhood or even a business district. We, the City, said we need to do some hard work.
We need to involve our citizens more. How many times have we heard City of Virginia
Beach, please include us? We are the taxpaying citizens and we need to be heard. We need
to please listen to us, and working together we can develop a plan that hopefully will be a
win-win situation. Right now the City of Virginia Beach, again the Planning Commissioners
and the staff, have been wonderful to work with, is going through the City's Comprehensive
Plan. We've had public meetings. We've had numerous positive comments from our
citizens. And the Planning Commission says well, and we sit down, if you will around the
roundtable, and we see what is good. What is bad? What's maybe? And we may jumble it
up and we took away from things. We put strong points here. We take away the weak
points. And hopefully with the Comprehensive Plan we're going to develop very soon, is
going to be the shining star in the City's Crown and it is going to be the best we've ever had.
I think, really, there is nothing wrong with strategic growth, but I think before strategic
growth moves along, we need to have strategic planning, and that means, as Jack has
indicated, that when that develops the neighborhoods throughout the cities, regardless what
strategic area your in, those areas neighborhoods will come out and a lot of good comments
will come out of that. And, it will be fed back, and those are wonderful ideas, just like we
said about the Comprehensive Plan. I think that is the most important thing. I think I'm not
really sure what is good for this neighborhood. I really don't know. I haven't seen a strategic
plan. Virginia Beach is very excited about its growth. But I, for one, and I know that
everyone in this room who lives here and works here, has a great deal of pride in the City of
Virginia Beach, and I do in particular myself. But, when we begin to lose pride is when we
begin to lose faith in our City leaders. We don't want to do that. We want our citizens to
have faith in our leaders, from our Council people, our Planning Commissioners and to our
staff, and if we don't listen to those people, we're not doing our job, in my personal opinion.
With the light rail coming on, and I attended a half day and I was unable to attend some of
the others, such as the Pembroke Revitalization Plan. And there were a lot of good leaders
there. A lot of city folks. It was a long range planning. It was a 50 year plan. I don't think
I'm going to be here in 50 years, but that is not the point. The point of it is that we're doing
some strategic planning on what the Pembroke area Town Center will be, and what hopefully
what the Greenwich Road area, and what Pungo will be, and all of these other areas, because
Item #18
Harmony Investments, Inc.
Page 15
we're all one giant community. We're so diverse. That is what makes Virginia Beach so
attractive to so many people. So, I love to see development in the City, but this particular
one, and as one lady said, it appears to be a white elephant into an area that I don't really
think at this particular time of the game, that we're ready to massage. Another point is this,
and Ron Ripley brought a good point, is that the raised elevation of I-264, and you do get a
lot of noise, and I'm sure the resident hear some of that. Keep in mind that any kind of
structure, whether it's this structure or whether it is a manufacturing plant, it is going to be
hard barrier between you and the railroad. And, if that railroad comes through, the noise that
is generated from that light rail is going to be reflected into your neighborhood. So, keeping
in mind in this strategic planning is that they put sound barriers on the interstate. That might
be something you might want to consider and keep this in the back of your mind. Is this
going to be necessary? Is it a good idea? Is it a bad idea? Is it going to be unattractive? So,
just keep that in mind as well. That is all. Thank you.
Janice Anderson: Thank you Al. Go ahead Don.
Donald Horsley: Jack, I got one question. How long have these Strategic Growth Areas
been in affect?
Jack Whitney: Since 2003.
Donald Horsley: Okay. Do you feel that this development is still premature for the Strategic
Growth Areas? Do you think that we are just not quite far enough along yet?
Jack Whitney: I had offered this as an option to the applicant to consider whether or not they
would entertain a deferral for the purpose of vetting this through that process. But it is
ultimately the applicant's choice to move forward or request a deferral of the Planning
Commission and Council's ultimate action. I would feel more comfortable about it if it were
more an outgrowth of the community is vision for that strategic growth on the other end of
that process.
Donald Horsley: Because you know, I am like Ron. I like the project. I think it is a very
good project. But I think it just may be a little bit before its time. I don't know how far away
we are from it, but 2003, I don't know how many years it takes to get plans implemented,
but this is going into the 6th year, and I'm just a little bit concerned about shooting a little bit
early on this deal and not getting it not like it really needs to be, because back in 2002 when
it was decided to have these growth areas, it kind of made a decision that we were running
out of land outside, and we needed places to grow, and we designated these growth areas as
places to grow, and now were getting people ready to do it, and we're going to hold them
back.
Jack Whitney: When they were identified, they were identified. But no detail planning was
embarked upon, so they pretty much sort of sat there dormant in action. In the past year or
so, we have become much more aggressive in funding and developing detailed plans in those
areas as part of the Comprehensive Plan process. And in response to Mr. Bernas' question
Item #18

earlier, this particular SGA is the next one in line. We've got the money to do it. We're
getting ready to advertise for RFPs, and I would anticipate by the fall of this year, that
process will be complete, and we will be ready to come back to you and the City Council
with a detailed recommended plan for SGA 3.
Donald Horsley: For this area regardless? Okay.
Janice Anderson: My concern about this was we asked and the applicant came last time. It
looked like a good plan. And we asked him to meet with the neighbors to try to clear up
issues with the neighbors. Unfortunately, that wasn't all solved, but there was something that
came out of it. There was a fence separating the properties, which they had requested and
some screening. My problem is holding the applicant up again. The SGA's have been
around since 2003. I think it follows our plan actually. It asks for mixed-use residential with
offices and hotel, and that is what you have now. Now, I know that people can move things
around. I don't think it is proper to move the residents to the top portion, which they also
own because you're going to have the flyover there. So, where they place the residential
housing, and I think it is proper, and that is good planning. The other issue is that it is a
rezoning to something I think is less intense. It is an I-1 zoning right now. And, as we know
that the height of these buildings, industrial can be much higher than that. So, the statement
is it is going to be different than it looks like now. It is going to be tall buildings stuck there.
Of course, industrial could be a tall building stuck there too as it is currently zoned. It is just
going to be developed now. I think they have done a good job on the elevations. It is a nice
quality. It is not a wall. They have features on it. It doesn't connect to the neighborhood,
which I listened to their concerns. Their concerns, and at first we heard was the crime is
going to come across the light rail. And, they put the fence up there. A six foot fence. I
don't think people are going to be climbing six foot fence to get over. You can't stop all
crime. You fear a lot of things but I just don't see it here. They separated the neighborhood.
The access to this parcel is through Greenwich Road? It doesn't come through the
neighborhood. So, you're not going to have actual traffic, which e hear a lot of times when
you're adding on residential that there is going to be more traffic through my neighborhood.
That is not what it is going to be. If we look at reduced property values that was concern
they had. I don't see that being an issue here. It is a different product here. And this is what
we always wanted in the Comprehensive Plan. You wanted heavily zoned, more condense
housing. SGA's and most of them around Oceana you can not put any residential there, so
this is where we are earmarking it to be heavier. I do think it is appropriate. I think there is a
big buffer there. I'm sorry that the neighbors don't like the proposal. I think it is better than
what we have as industrial zoning. Let's see? The other thing is with the office space and
the hotel? It is my understanding is that they don't have to come back for a rezoning or
anything. They can build it as it. And so far as connectivity, I believe there will be
connectivity. The plans, if you look down the future probably will be a light rail that will go
behind there. And also there will probably be a cul-de-sac of Greenwich Rod. So, you are
not going to have this traffic going through. It will be cul-de-sac. People going to this
residential here or they are going to the office space next door. There will not be much
through traffic. I think it would be appropriate to have a cross over connectivity there, so
actually I like the proposal and I'm in support of it.

Eugene Crabtree: Jan?
Janice Anderson: Yes.
Eugene Crabtree: Everybody else has spoken. I incline to agree with you that it is not going
to have through traffic. That it is going to be a cul-de-sac. The light rail is going to block
the other side of it when light rail goes through they are going to put up structures to protect
their property and separate the two. This property from the neighborhood is going to be
totally separate. This is a very high end project, and this is on more to our north end of the
city going toward Newtown Road that eventually is going to connect the things that we have
got started in Town Center, and we're beginning to move down through that corridor along
Town Center along Cleveland Street, and everything, and what's going to come in on the
other side of the interstate. And eventually there is going to be along the light rail tracks in
that area connectivity all the way from Town Center down to this area, and going to
eventually going to move down to Newtown Road to where the Norfolk Light Rail and the
Virginia Beach Light Rail will connect. We're talking about 50 years or so in the future.
And Al says, we may not be around to see it. But it is going to come about eventually. So,
why penalize this high end project for doing something that is going to connect these things
eventually. And everybody is the old adage. Not in my backyard. Everybody wants to see
improvement in the City. They want to see high end quality things but don't do it in my
backyard. Go some place else and do it and into somebody else's neighborhood. I lived in
this city for over 50 years, and I have seen it happened time and time again in my
neighborhood. And, from my standpoint of view, I sympathize because I'm going to be in the
same situation along that light rail with the neighborhood when they start building things. I
live about from two blocks from where that light rail is going to go though. If that ever
happens, I am going to be right in the same situation these folks are in. But I'm going to
have to live with it. Consequently, it is a high end project. I just think its' a start of getting
something done in that entire corridor.
Janice Anderson: Thanks Gene. Henry?
Henry Livas: Yes. I wanted to weigh in and say that I still support the project. I did support
it last month, and I haven't heard anything differently. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot
of compromise. However, the applicant did put the fence up, and I think that is going to help
a lot. Some of the concern about crime, I just don't think that is going to materialize that
much. Whatever development goes over there, I don't think it is going to make crime more
preventable. Also, you got the light rail coming in. Eventually, I think later on when that
comes in you're going to see this is a very minor event compared with the light rail. I am
impressed with the group that came out here. Some of which I know, but I think I have to
look at what is good for the city in general, and we certainly need housing. And as Jack
mentioned, there are a lot of areas we are not be able to put housing in because of the
restrictions with the Navy. So, this applicant has complied with everything that we have
asked him to do so far. The flyover is not a problem. It was mentioned that it was a problem
before. I think we have cleaned up the architecture and the quality of the structure problem.

It is a quality project as some of colleagues have just mentioned. So, I would support the
application. I'm ready for a motion unless someone else wants to talk?
Janice Anderson: Thank you Henry. Are there any more comments? Do I have a motion?
Henry Livas: I move that we approve the conditional change of zoning from Light Industrial
to Conditional A-36 Apartment District.
Janice Anderson: A motion by Henry Livas. Is there a second?
Ronald Ripley: I'll second it.
Janice Anderson: A second by Ron Ripley.

WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes, including mixed-use purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that competing and sometimes incompatible uses
conflict, and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the subject Property and at the
same time to recognize the effects of the change and the need for various types of uses, certain
reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the community that
are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned A-36 are needed to cope with the situation to
which the Grantor's rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and prior to the
public hearing before the Grantee, as part of the proposed conditional amendment to the Zoning
Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the existing A-36 zoning districts by the
existing City's Zoning Ordinance ("CZO"), the following reasonable conditions related to the
physical development, operation and use of the Property to be adopted as a part of said
amendment to the new Zoning Map relative to the Property, all of which have a reasonable
relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning; and
GPIN NO.: 1467-54-6228
WHEREAS, said conditions having been proffered by the Grantor and allowed
and accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, such conditions
shall continue in full force and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: GEO I, L.L.C. C/O JOHN GEORGHIOU, Conditional Change of Zoning, R-10
Residential to Conditional R-7.5 (WF) Residential, 4480 & 4488 Indian River Road
(GPINs 1474254827; 1474252700; 1474256755). CENTERVILLE DISTRICT.
Comprehensive Plan — Suburban Area.
MEETING DATE: March 8, 2011
■ Background:
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing R-10 Residential properties to
Conditional R-7.5 Residential with a Workforce Housing Overlay and develop the
9.4350 acres site with 42 single-family dwelling units, of which seven units will be
designated for workforce housing. The lots range in size from 4,000 square feet
to 19,800 square feet, with an average lot size of 5,500 square feet.
The site is an odd shape, long and narrow on the northern portion, and shaped
similar to an "L" on the southern portion. Future Indian River Road right-of-way
cuts through the site approximately 950 -feet from the existing Indian River Road.
50 -foot ingress / egress easement to the previous farm house and a variable
width utility easement run through the center of the site, as well as a 30 -foot raw
water line easement which runs across the rear of the site. The configuration of
the site and the easements within the site present development challenges.
The applicant submitted eight model designs. Exterior building materials include
vinyl shake and brick accents. Several of the models have slightly recessed
garage areas with trellis features over the entrances to the garages. All of the
proposed dwellings have covered front entryways.
APPLICATION HISTORY: The applicant deferred the request at the December
8, 2010 Planning Commission meeting so he could work with staff on issues
regarding density and site design.
■ Considerations:
The City Zoning Ordinance, Article 21 Workforce Housing, states that the intent
of the article is "to encourage the development of high-quality housing that is: (1)
affordable by households with annual incomes of between eighty (80) percent
GEO I, LLC
Page 2 of 4
and one hundred twenty (120) percent of Area Median Income (AMI); or (2), for
rental purposes, by households with annual incomes of between sixty (60)
percent and ninety (90) percent of AMI, adjusted for family size, who live or work
in Virginia Beach. Because such households generally, although not uniformly,
consist of one (1) or two (2) working members, such housing is termed
"workforce housing." The intent further states "In order to accomplish that goal,
this article establishes incentives for the construction of workforce housing in
areas of the city in which the Comprehensive Plan recognizes increased density
to be appropriate. Equally importantly, this article also ensures that workforce
housing will be well-designed, of high quality, and well -integrated into the overall
development of which it is a component."
The site contains 9.43 acres. The current zoning of R-10 Residential permits 28
dwellings. Staff and the applicant met several times to discuss the proposal. Staff
concerns regarding the proposed density, site layout, and stormwater
management were discussed at all of the meetings. Staff requested that the
applicant consider an R-7.5 Residential district density of 3.5 dwelling units to the
acre, which would allow 33 dwelling units. The allowance of a 30 percent density
increase allows 42 dwelling units, of which seven would have to be designated
as workforce housing.
The applicant has worked with staff to produce a project that will set the tone for
workforce housing developments in residential districts. The site has been
redesigned to be developed at an R-7.5 Residential district density which is more
in keeping with the surrounding Glenwood subdivision. The proposed lot sizes
are consistent with the Glenwood subdivision, as well as the proposed dwelling
sizes. Site details include changes in asphalt and concrete design, a defined
entrance to the proposed park area, picket fencing and pergolas, and a
decorative structure in the traffic circle midway through the site. The request is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for the area and
provides workforce housing. Therefore staff recommends approval of the request
subject to the proffers.
There was no opposition to the request.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing R-10 Residential properties to Conditional R-7.5
Residential with a Workforce Housing Overlay and develop the 9.4350 acres site with 42 single-family
dwelling units, of which seven units will be designated for workforce housing. The site is an odd shape,
long and narrow on the northern portion, and shaped similar to an "L" on the southern portion. Future
Indian River Road right-of-way cuts through the site approximately 950 -feet from the existing Indian River
Road. 50 -foot ingress / egress easement to the previous farm house and a variable width utility easement
run through the center of the site, as well as a 30 -foot raw water line easement which runs across the rear
of the site. The configuration of the site and the easements within the site present development
challenges.

The submitted preliminary subdivision exhibit depicts 42 single-family lots. The lots range in size from
4,000 square feet to 19,800 square feet, with an average lot size of 5,500 square feet. Proposed lots 1-39
are depicted between existing Indian River Road and the future Indian River Road. These lots will be
accessed from the existing Indian River Road. Proposed Lots 40, 41, and 42 will be accessed from Flax
Mill Drive in Glenwood. Future Indian River Road will have limited access and neither portion of the
proposed subdivision will be allowed to access the proposed roadway. There are three cul-de-sacs
proposed within the subdivision. Proposed lots 1-3 will front Indian River Road and are accessed through
the rear of the sites. An entrance sign of brick with a pergola and a 4 -foot high picket fence are depicted
along the frontage of Lots 1-3 and along the side of Lot 39, along Indian River Road. Street trees and
shrubs are proposed along the roadway and cul-de-sacs as well as a landscape island with a defining
community structure in the roadway midway into the subdivision. Colorized stamped asphalt is proposed
in the middle of the cul-de-sacs. A .46 acre park is proposed, as well as an area just over an acre in size
for the stormwater management pond system. A pergola and picket fence define the entrance to the park.
Sidewalks are proposed along the northern side of the roadway. Three foot wide stained concrete bands
define the end of the driveways. A six-foot fence with landscaping is proposed adjacent to future Indian
River Road.
The applicant submitted eight model designs, all two story in height. Exterior building materials include
vinyl shake and brick accents. Several of the models have slightly recessed garage areas with trellis
features over the entrances to the garages. All of the proposed dwellings have covered front entryways.
The proposed dwellings will be three and four bedroom units.
APPLICATION HISTORY: The applicant deferred the request at the December 8, 2010 Planning
Commission meeting so he could work with staff on issues regarding density and site design. The
applicant re -submitted the request with a Conditional R-7.5 Residential with a Workforce Housing
Overlay. The site has been re -designed to develop 42 single-family dwellings of which 7 dwellings will be
designated as workforce housing. The proposed site re -design includes a storm water management
pond, three cul-de-sacs with stamped and colorized asphalt in the centers, 3 -foot stained color concrete
bands at the end of the proposed driveways, fencing and a pergola at the park entrance, and trees and
shrubs along the frontages of the proposed lots.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site in the Suburban Area. The Plan recognizes the need to preserve
and protect the character of the stable neighborhoods in the suburban area as well as reinforce the suburban
characteristics of commercial centers and other non-residential areas that make up the suburban area.
Planning principles established to protect this area state that all new development and redevelopment should
reinforce neighborhood compatibility, quality site and building design, improved mobility, be environmentally
responsible, advance community livability, employ effective buffering between residential and non-residential
uses, and be compatible in size and intensity to the existing area.
CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Indian River
Road in front of this application is a two-lane undivided minor suburban arterial. The 2004 Master
Transportation Plan (MTP) proposes a Planned Facility with a divided roadway, bikeway and scenic buffer
within a 125 foot right-of-way section. A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project is slated for this area;
Indian River Road — Phase VII (CIP 2.256.000) is for the construction of a four -lane divided arterial highway
from Lynnhaven Parkway to Elbow Road Extended, with landscaping and aesthetic design features. This
project also includes the relocated intersection of Indian River Road and Elbow Road. Currently, the
construction start date is beyond VDOT's Six -Year Plan.
Public Works / Roadway Engineering:
The Indian River Road Project, CIP 2-256, is currently in the site acquisition process. A draft plat has been
developed for the project which includes the right-of-way referenced in the GEO I, LLC, conditional rezoning
application. The CIP project will require right-of-way, noise barrier maintenance easements, drainage
easements, and temporary construction easements. At this time, it appears that the 125' reserved for the CIP
project is sufficient. Upon completion of negotiations with the property owner, a final plat will be recorded
establishing the right-of-way and easements required for the property.
Public Works / Engineering
A dedication of 30 feet along existing Indian River Road such that the minimum right-of-way of 50 feet is
achieved and a dedication of 125 feet along Future Indian River Road such that the ultimate right-of-way is
achieved in accordance with the Master Transportation Plan amended 10/12/04 is achieved may be required
during detailed site plan review.

EVALUATION
The City Zoning Ordinance, Article 21 Workforce Housing, states that the intent of the article is "to
encourage the development of high-quality housing that is: (1) affordable by households with annual
incomes of between eighty (80) percent and one hundred twenty (120) percent of Area Median Income
(AMI); or (2), for rental purposes, by households with annual incomes of between sixty (60) percent and
ninety (90) percent of AMI, adjusted for family size, who live or work in Virginia Beach. Because such
households generally, although not uniformly, consist of one (1) or two (2) working members, such
housing is termed "workforce housing." The intent further states "In order to accomplish that goal, this
article establishes incentives for the construction of workforce housing in areas of the city, including
Strategic Growth Areas, in which the Comprehensive Plan recognizes increased density to be
appropriate. Equally importantly, this article also ensures that workforce housing will be well-designed, of
high quality, and well -integrated into the overall development of which it is a component."
