Mr. Macali provided this background in support of today's Briefing:
BACKGROUND
11/09 - Pembroke SGA Plan adopted.
Goal: Encourage urban -style development

The Plan recognizes this disconnect between it and
the zoning ordinance

PEMBROKE CENTRAL BUSINESS CORE DISTRICT
ITEM #62947(Continued)
This Ordinance is not an "Over -lay" Ordinance and most of the current zoning does not support
"Urban" development.
SGA Plan - URBAN development
• Buildings closer to the street
• Vertical development
• Walkability/ connectivity
• Mixed use development
In line with the Pembroke SGA, below are examples of what is not supported by this Ordinance:

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 idents 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.

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.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED her husband is a principal in the accounting firm of Dixon
Hughes Goodman and is directly and indirectly involved in many of Dixon Hughes Goodman's
transactions. However, due to the size of Dixon Hughes Goodman and the volume of transactions it
handles in any given year, Dixon Hughes Goodman has an interest in numerous matters in which her
husband is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
Council Lady Wilson 's letter of January 10, 2012, is hereby made a part of the record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Prudential
Decker Realty. Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation, the size of Prudential, and the
volume of transactions it handles in any given year, Prudential has an interest in numerous matters in
which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
Council Lady Wilson 's letter of January 27, 2004, is hereby made a part of the record.

with respect to the Recapture Agreement, defined below.
6. Apply for inclusion of the Old Cavalier on National Register of Historic Places and
Virginia Landmarks Register. Developer will dedicate and record at Closing an
historic preservation easement over the Old Cavalier to City of Virginia Beach (the
"Historic Easement"). The Historic Easement will contain generally the same
restrictions against redevelopment and requirements for preservation as would be
imposed on Developer by inclusion on the federal and state registries (such
restrictions to be effective during any period that the exterior of the Old Cavalier is
not required to be preserved in its current form by either registry or otherwise) and
will be superior to any deed of trust or other liens encumbering the Old Cavalier (the

Rehabilitation (which is a prerequisite for qualification for federal historic
preservation tax incentives), Developer shall either (i) repair and/or restore the Old
Cavalier to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation; or (ii) within
six (6) months of the casualty, repay to the Authority $1,722,000 (the "Rehabilitation
Grant. Reimbursement") (which is the portion of the Grant allocable to the
improvements associated with the Old Cavalier) and, if the required bonds have not
been posted or Cavalier Drive is not complete, repay the Roadwork Deposit to the
City. If Developer elects this option (ii), the. Authority shall make no further
Incentive Payments to Developer and if the bonds have not been posted, the
agreement for the construction of Cavalier Drive shall terminate. In addition, if
Developer elects option (ii) above, Developer may repurchase the Green Space
Easement by repaying the City, within six (6) months of the casualty, $2,370,000
("the Green Space Reimbursement"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing
on the twelfth (12t) anniversary of the date of Closing and on each of the next five
(5) succeeding anniversaries thereof, the Rehabilitation Grant Reimbursement shall
be reduced by $287,000.00 per year, resulting in no Rehabilitation Grant
Reimbursement being due with respect to option (ii) above subsequent to the
eighteenth (18th) anniversary of the date of Closing, it being understood that the full
amount of the Green Space Reimbursement shall remain payable if Developer
repurchases the Green Space Easement.
7. Execute the Recapture Agreement with the Authority for the Grant. The "Recapture
Agreement" will provide for the repayment of 100% of the Grant by Developer to the
Authority if, Developer fails to (a) promptly apply for inclusion of the Old Cavalier
on the two historic registers, or (b) preserve the Old Cavalier structure in at least its
current external form, or (c) commence rehabilitation of the Old Cavalier on or prior
to the Outside Commencement Date. The Recapture Agreement will provide for
repayment of a pro -rata sharea of the Grant by Developer to the Authority if, (1)
Developer has not invested $65,000,000 of the Developer Investment in the Property
by the end of the 3 year anniversary of commencement of rehabilitation of the
Property, as provided herein, (2) Developer has not invested $130,000,000 of the

be entitled to recoup any amount of the Grant recaptured by the City. Recapture
Agreement to be between Authority and Developer or an affiliated entity of
Developer reasonably acceptable to City. Recapture Agreement (and Roadwork
Deposit) to be secured to reasonable satisfaction of City and Authority through either
the posting of a letter of credit initially in the amount of the Grant plus the Roadwork
Deposit or a personal guaranty or guaranties from one or more of the principals of the
Developer in the same amounts (if such guarantors do not include Bruce L.
Thompson and the other principals of Developer, then the proposed guarantor(s) shall
be subject to the City's reasonable approval). The amount of the guaranty/ letter of
credit to be reduced by the amount of the Roadway Deposit on the posting of the
bond for the completion of the improvements to Cavalier Drive. In addition, the
amount of the guaranty/letter of credit will be proportionately reduced upon
Developer providing proof of qualifying expenditures for the Grant, it being
understood that the amount of the guaranty/letter of credit will be reduced upon the
occurrence of the Closing by the pro -rata share of the Grant attributable to the Initial
Investment and that any letter of credit posted at Closing shall not be required to
include such amount.
