February 26, 2013 -32 - CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS 4:30 P.M. ITEM #62580 Councilman Moss stated he feels that sometimes we feel that the community is somehow a distinct entity from the government itself and the Government is somehow a distinct entity from the community itself. In fact, we are not two distinct entities, it is "us ". People have liberty and Government helps us use it. It is something we owe ourselves. Mr. Moss objects to "Policy Documents" and feels it is City Council 's job. The Plan states the City strives in making sure housing is "affordable ", but what is affordable? Affordability and giving it a meaning in a metric way gives the public a way to hold the City Leaders accountable. The 5 -Year Forecast states that 35% of households spend 40% or more of their income on rent and 40% of students enrolled in the School System are eligible for free or reduced lunch. These are things about which the community should be concerned. The City should have a way to address those issues in a metric sense. When statements are too broad, we do not hold ourselves accountable. The City needs to be more honest about families' financial statuses. We should not apply these metrics only on a "City" level. The Plan then discusses Workforce Housing. What attrition rate does the City find acceptable? The Plan should include thoughts about retirement. The Sustainability Plan, as written, does not capture very well who we are as a community. Mr. Moss believes that what gets measured gets done. Mr. Moss would like some real numbers, at the local level, be included. Mr. Moss acknowledged the Sustainability Plan, as written, is a good Plan and he would not take anything out. However, Mr. Moss would like to have the issues, identified in his letter, be included in the Plan. ITEM #62581 Councilman DeSteph attended a meeting at the Wyndham regarding sequestration and suggested City Council be briefed on this issue as well. Councilman DeSteph distributed the White House Comments regarding sequestration he received at the MEDAC meeting. Councilman DeSteph attended last night 's Light Rail meeting at Landstown High School. He advised there were approximately 100 people who seemed to be very well educated on the issues. Also, the new Bike Path on Shore Drive is pretty much complete and is very nice. ITEM #62582 Councilman Uhrin attended the first meeting regarding the Cavalier Hotel. Most of the discussion was geared towards educating potential buyers and the applicable zoning. The old Cavalier Hill is zoned RT1 and that is something that may need to be looked into. Maintaining the historical integrity of this Landmark is a priority. February 26, 2013 -33 - AGENDA REVIEW SESSION 4:40 P.M.

Uhrin and James L. Wood Council Members Absent: Robert M. Dyer Rosemary Wilson INVOCATION: Reverend Les Smith Senior Pastor, Victory Baptist Church PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED as an officer of TowneBank (which has a corporate office located at 297 Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), he is directly and indirectly involved in many of TowneBank's transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, TowneBank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Prudential Towne Realty, which is an affiliate of TowneBank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is his practice to thoroughly review each City Council agenda to identify any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a `personal interest ", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of March 24, 2009, is hereby made a part of the record. February 26, 2013 -39 - Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank. Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial') purchased Resource Bank. On March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a "personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the record.

In 2009 he and his wife had the home demolished and built a new home on same property in 2010. Mr. Flanagan stated just recently the City Attorney informed him of a problem regarding advertising when City Council originally approved this. The City Attorney has been attempting to reconstruct the process and help get it back on track to purchase this property. Mr. Flanagan stated he and his wife do not plan to put up any fence as they are simply trying to clean up the property line. Deb Flanagan, 708 Artic Avenue, Phone: 428-2456, stated her family has maintained the property for over 90 years and this has created a problem when they are trying to mow and edge the property. Don Sheely, 705 Artic Avenue, Phone: 422-3825, advised he saw the advertisement in the Beacon and, after he made some phone calls, was told by the City Attorney's Office the process was flawed 14 or 15 years ago. Mr. Sheely stated he was never notified or even given the opportunity to purchase this parcel which has been sitting idle for 15 year. Mr. Sheely stated that he maintains the lot and has documentation from Public Works Department where he has been allowed to maintain this property. Donna Sheely, 705 Artic Avenue, Phone: 422-3825, stated she is greatly concerned about the process as she and her husband were never notified the City had declared this property EXCESS. Mr. Sheely requested the sale be stopped and allow her and her husband to apply for the purchase of this parcel. The transfer of this parcel to anyone other than her and her husband would not be right. There being no speakers, Mayor Sessoms CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Dane Blythe, 2004 Oak Leaf Lane, Phone: 537-1700, Chairman of the Virginia Beach Taxpayers Alliance expressed his concern as to why City Council is voting on a Sustainability Plan. Although many people have committed a great amount of time in creating this document, he requested Councilman Moss' comments be incorporated into the Plan. Mr. Blythe requested City Council defer the vote on this Plan until those comments are included. Diana Howard, 1057 Debaca Court, Phone: 721-5128, stated government creates a problem and then identifies a solution. This Plan is designed to save us from ourselves; yet fails to tell us how much it will cost. RC Harding, 3013 N.

Nutter, Attorney for Applicant, stated this facility is not a Homeless Shelter, but the next and best answer to the Homeless problem. The facility is an apartment facility with `half of the apartments for persons that are transitioning out of being homeless and the other `half of the apartments for persons that qualify for workforce housing. Every applicant is screened. If accepted, that person will sign a lease. There is an office on-site that is manned 24 hours a day. Services that are offered are job training, assistance in medical care, psychiatric care and substance abuse care. The Applicants took every concern seriously and addressed each of them. Mr. Nutter distributed several letters from neighboring businesses in support of this project. Mary Aab, 2425 Goshold Avenue, Norfolk, VA, Region Supportive Services Director — Virginia Supportive Housing, stated she oversees all of the programs in the Hampton Roads area and is very proud of these facilities. This program assists residents with health care, substance abuse and helps address basic living skills. Ms. Aab advised some residents of Cloverleaf had been homeless in excess of 18 years. Ten (10) former Cloverleaf residents now reside in the City as regular members of the community. Erin Briggs, 401 4`I` Street, NW, Charlottesville, Case Manager — Virginia Supportive Housing advised they have had many successes. This program works closely with the Police Department and reports a decrease in crime in and around these facilities. Pamela Fletcher, 1600 South Street, Portsmouth, a resident of South Bear Apartments became homeless after her father and husband passed away in the same year. Ms. Fletcher was sleeping outside and called the City of Chesapeake who advised her about the Virginia Supportive Housing program. She became a resident of one of their facilities in June 2012. Ms. Fletcher stated when she turned the key to unlock her apartment, it gave her hope and if she had remained homeless much longer she would have most likely died. Aaron Lilly, 964 S. Military Highway, resides in Cloverleaf Apartments. He is the oldest resident of this facility and was embarrassed when other residents started calling him " pops". Mr. Lilly stated they have a great Counselor at the facility and everyone there is always willing to help. Tim McCarthy, 3845 Prince Phillips Circle, Phone: 486-3375, supports this program and hopes this will help end Homelessness. This facility provides housing for the Homeless with affordable housing. Mr. McCarthy advised this program is a good, compassionate and helps solve the homeless problem. 98% of individuals that enter this program are never homeless again. Robert Searless, Diamond Springs Gardenwood Park Civic League — President, expressed concern about this project as they only learned of it 3- 1/ weeks ago. It appears this project is being rushed. This area has a very high crime rate and dangerous roads and intersections. Mr. Searless requested the location be reevaluated as the safety is paramount to those individuals this program is trying to assist. Warren Skinner, Diamond Springs Baptist Church — Pastor, Phone: 363-2790, stated his church is located directly across from Bayside Middle School. Mr. Skinner has devoted his life to helping people. His church has many outreaches and commends the dedication and passion of the folks at Virginia Supportive Housing. Mr. Skinner expressed concern about the location of this facility and the dangerous roads and intersections. February 26, 2013 -67- Item—VI-J.5a/b PLANNING ITEM #62606(Continued) Geoff Bauer, Wesleyan Chase Civic League — President, Phone: 460-1972 expressed concern regarding the facilities proximity next to residence. Mr. Bauer is an avid runner and biker and there are no pedestrian lights on these dangerous roads and intersections surrounding this facility. Mr. Bauer requested the location be reevaluated and asked City Council to defer the vote on this project. Dennis Dorsman, Phone: 464-5117, advised he is a resident of Garden Wood Park and expressed concern for the location of this facility as it is very close to an elementary school. Mr. Dorsman requested the location be reevaluated. Jorge Cfuntes, 5512 Haden Road, Phone: 227-4051, expressed concern for this project being fast tracked. No one in the area was informed. He requested the location be relocated to an area in the City that is better suited for the facility. Julie Bobka, 1704 King William Road, Phone: 464-0769, expressed concern for the location of this facility as it is very close to an elementary school. This location should be reevaluated as this is not the best location for this facility. Roger Wiley, Phone: 460-2720, expressed his concern regarding the safety of the individuals that would be living in the facilty as the roads surrounding the facility are heavily traveled by trucks. Angela Kellam, Phone: 631-0710, Executive Director — Samaritan House, stated the success rate of these facilities are amazing. This facility will help individuals that have made a conscious choice to change their lives. To prevent homelessness, the City must provide affordable housing. Claudia Gooch, Phone: 622-9268, Vice President for Community and Planning Development — The Planning Council stated the program is the cornerstone that offers affordable housing and support services that keep individuals from being homeless. Darren Skinner, NW Beach Partnerships — Vice President, Northwest Beach Partnership, requested a deferral of this project for sixty (60) days. Mr. Skinner visited Cloverleaf Apartments and advised what is being advertised and what is actually taking place are not the same. Mr. Skinner stated the design of this program does not motivate residents to obtain gainful employment. Mr. Skinner believes we have an obligation to help individuals that come across hard times; however, the location of this facility is setting them up for failure. Frank Wilson, 1200 Communication Circle, Phone: 478-2222, expressed his concern as there is a very serious safety issue in this area. The surrounding roads and intersections are dangerous as the speed limit is 55mph. No other speakers registered: Councilman Davis inquired as to making this facility alcohol free but this is not something the Virginia Supportive Housing requires or would agree to. Council Lady Henley emphasized the residents "SHALL ADHERE TO THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT" and encouraged the program to ensure that is being done.

The adoption of codes or 579 amendments applicable to all or a substantial portion of any Strategic 580 Growth Area designated in the Comprehensive Plan shall not be deemed 581 to be part of a comprehensive implementation of a new or substantially 582 revised zoning ordinance.

In addition, the city council may, for good cause shown and upon a finding 601 that there will be no significant detrimental effects on surrounding properties, accept 602 proffered conditions reasonably deviating from the setback, landscaping and minimum 603 lot area requirements and height restrictions, except as provided in Section 202(b), 604 otherwise applicable to the proposed development. No such deviation shall be in 605 conflict with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan. 606 607 608 609 The amendments allow the City Council to accept proffered conditions reasonably deviating 610 from the setback, landscaping and minimum lot area requirements and height restrictions of the 611 CZO (except as to navigation hazards) upon a finding that there will be no significant detrimental 612 effects on surrounding properties.
