CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: An Ordinance to Add Section 35.3-5.1 to the City Code Pertaining to the Deferral of Special Service District Levies for Qualifying Senior and Disabled Persons MEETING DATE: September 10, 2013 ¦ Background: The City Council has approved four special service districts for neighborhood dredging. After adoption of the most recent special service district, City staff was directed to provide an avenue for deferral of special service district levies for qualifying seniors and disabled persons. The attached ordinance will require the home owner to make an application to the Commissioner of the Revenue as do all participants in the general tax relief program for seniors and disabled persons. The general qualification requirements include: age and/or disability; net worth limitations (currently, $350,000 excluding residence); and income. The attached ordinance permits the deferral to be in the same percentages as the owner would qualify for exemption in the general tax relief program. The current exemption bands are: Income between $0 and $47,100 eligible for 100% exemption; Income between $47,100.01 and $51,200 eligible for 80% exemption; Income between $51,200.01 and $55,300 eligible for 60% exemption; lncome between $55,300.01 and $59,400 eligible for 40% exemption; and Income between $59,400.01 and $63,450 eligible for 20% exemption. The deferred special service district levies become due and payable upon the sale of property or the disposition of the estate in the event that the property owner passes away. ¦ Considerations: The deferral program provided by the attached ordinance will require additional staff time to track participating properties and to secure payment upon the disposition of the property. Additionally, the deferral may impact the proposed cash flow pro forma provided to the various communities that have adopted and are considering participation in the neighborhood dredging special service district process. If adopted, this deferral program will be communicated to the existing participants of the neighborhood dredging SSDs and become part of the engagement portion of the process for future neighborhoods. ¦ Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal Council agenda process. ¦ Attachment:Ordinance Requested by: The Mayor on behalf of City Council REQUESTED BY THE MAYOR ON BEHALF OF CITY COUNCIL 1 AN ORDINANCE TO ADD SECTION 35.3-5.1 TO THE CITY 2 CODE PERTAINING TO THE DEFERRAL OF SPECIAL 3 SERVICE DISTRICT LEVIES FOR QUALIFYING SENIOR 4 AND DISABLED PERSONS 5 6 SECTION ADDED: 35.3-5.1 7 8 WHEREAS, The City of Virginia Beach has previously established special service 9 districts to allow neighborhood dredging projects to proceed; and 10 11 WHEREAS, the City finds that the additional levies of taxes in such special 12 service districts may be a burden that certain qualifying senior and disabled persons are 13 unable to bear. 14 15 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 16 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 17 18 1. That the Code of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, is hereby amended and 19 reordained as follows: 20 21 Sectian 35 3-5 1 Deferral of Dredaina Special Services District Taxes for 22 Qualifyinq Senior and Disabled Persons. 23 24 a.

Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, on the day of , 2013. APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: .?- ? or s ice .? CA12526 R-3 September 4, 2013 2 ,\e•UUFA F` rI'C4z° ` ' ? .r ; Slf fvi :r.l ,t4t+ CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH ? AGENDA ITEM ? ITEM: An Ordinance to Designate Organizations as Being Exempt from Local Property Taxation MEETlNG DATE: September 10, 2013 ¦ Background: Article X, Section 6(a)(6) of the Virginia Constitution provides that property used by its owner for religious, charitable, patriotic, historical, benevolent, cultural, or public park and playground purposes may be exempted from taxation by classification or designation by an ordinance adopted by the local governing body. Prior to January 1, 2003, such exemptions could only be granted by the General Assembly. Section 58.1-3651 of the Virginia Code sets forth the process for designating specific organizations as being exempt from local taxation and a list of factors for the local governing body to consider is set forth. They are: 1. Whether the organization is exempt from taxation pursuant to § 501 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954; 2. Whether a current annual alcoholic beverage license for serving alcoholic beverages has been issued by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to such organization, for use on such property; 3. Whether any director, officer, or employee of the organization is paid compensation in excess of a reasonable allowance for salaries or other compensation for personal services which such director, officer, or employee actually renders; 4. Whether any part of the net earnings of such organization inures to the benefit of any individual, and whether any significant portion of the service provided by such organization is generated by funds received from donations, contributions, or local, state or federal grants; 5. Whether the organization provides services for the common good of the public; 6. Whether a substantial part of the activities of the organization involves carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation and whether the organization participates in, or intervenes in, any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office; 7. The revenue impact to the locality and its taxpayers of exempting the property; and 8. Any other criteria, facts and circumstances that the governing body deems pertinent to the adoption of such ordinance. The City Council adopted a revised policy (the "Policy") regarding applications for Tax Exemption by Designation on May 6, 2008 (attached). ¦ Considerations: The Commissioner of the Revenue has received four applications for tax exemption by designation in this period. The Commissioner reviewed each application and finds the following applicants qualify for exemption from local property taxes: • AI-Anon Service Center of Tidewater, Inc. • Disabled American Veterans Combining Chapters Thrift Stores of Hampton Roads Virginia, Inc. • Symphonicity, the Symphony Orchestra of Virginia Beach • Virginia Athletic Council, Inc. AI-Anon Service Center has a related organization that was exempted by designation by the General Assembly in 1995. The two organizations are separate, which is why the ordinance is needed. Posts of the Disabled American Veterans are exempt by classification by the General Assembly pursuant to Virginia Code § 58.1-3607(A)(1). However, the Disabled American Veteran entity presented here is technically not a post. The ordinance for Symphonicity includes a retroactivity clause covering CY08 to CY13 to allow the organization to avoid a tax bill for personal property taxes in the total amount of $8,002. Although the Policy requires applicants to be current on tax obligations, Council may deviate from the Policy. Symphonicity applied for tax exemption in late 2006, and it was eligible for exemption. At that time, applications were received by the Commissioner of Revenue but were reviewed by the Community Organization Grant ("COG") Committee, which then made recommendations to the City Council. The Commissioner of Revenue's Office forwarded the application to the City Attorney's Office so that the application could be reviewed by COG, however, the application was never processed or presented to City Council. The Symphonicity exemption ordinance, including the retroactivity provision, is being brought forward at the request of the Mayor. ¦ Alternatives: City Council is not required to approve exemption requests. In regard to Symphonicity, the Council could instead grant the exemption only prospectively. If the Council desired to provide relief from some or all of the taxes currently owed by the symphony without designating the exemption as having a retroactive effect, it could instead authorize a donation to this organization pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-953. ¦ Public Information: A public hearing for this item will be held on September 10th, during the Council Formal Session. An advertisement for the public hearing appeared in the Beacon more than five days prior to that hearing as required by statute. Also, this item will be advertised in the normal Council Agenda Process. ¦ Attachments: Ordinances (4); City Council Policy on Tax Exemption by Designation; Commissioner of Revenue Summary of the Applications Recommended Action: Approval of Ordinances for: AI-Anon Service Center of Tidewater, Inc.; Disabled American Veterans Combining Chapters Thrift Stores of Hampton Roads Virginia, Inc.; Symphonicity, the Symphony Orchestra of Virginia Beach; and Virginia Athletic Council, Inc.

ITEM: An Ordinance to Carry Forward and Appropriate $1,360,387 for Purposes Previously Approved in FY 2012-13 into the FY 2013-14 Operating Budget MEETING DATE: September 10, 2013 ¦ Background: The Annual Appropriation Ordinance provides for the carry forward of appropriation authority to the next fiscal year for authorized obligations and encumbrances. See § 8 of the FY 2013-14 Operating Budget Appropriation Ordinance. Additionally, funds that are approved for a specific purchase or contract, but remain unobligated or unencumbered at the end of the year, may be requested by departments to be carried forward to the next fiscal year. Situations that might necessitate funds being carried forward include the following: Funding was approved in FY 2012-13 to purchase a piece of equipment or renovate a small building but, due to extenuating circumstances, the department did not finalize the purchase or complete the project prior to the end of the fiscal year; Funds were approved by City Council by a budget amendment or City Manager by authorized transfer late in the fiscal year and the expenditure could not be completed prior to the end of the fiscal year; and Funds provided for a specific grant program were unused during the fiscal year and are being carried forward to combine with grant funds in the new fiscal year. Funds that are approved to be carried forward are then re-appropriated from the fund balance of their respective funds into the current fiscal year. Budget and Management Services reviews all departmental carry forward requests to determine that the request meets the eligibility requirements (discussed below) and also to ensure that there is sufficient fund balance to meet City Council's fund balance policy. w Considerations: Criteria applied by Budget and Management Services to deterrnine whether or not funds are eligible to be carried over from one fiscal year to the next are as Follows: • The funds requested to be carried over must remain in the same fund, budget unit, and account code in the new fiscal year as they were in the old fiscal year; • Situations outside ofi the control of the department prevented the expenditure of funds for the uses for which they were originally budgeted; • Funds that are intended for a specific timeframe; such as personal services, are not eligible for consideration; • The purpose for which funds are requested to be cai-ried forward are not also budgeted in the department in the new fiscal year; • Funds can only be carried forward to the new fiscal year for the same purpose that they were specifically budgeted in the previous fiscal year; • Funding is available in the legal appropriation unit (as identified in the Operating Budget Ordinance) or department to be carried over to the next fiscal year; and • The item(s) for which funding is requested to be carried over must be critical to the mission of a program or service offered by fhe City. The total amount of this request is $1,360,387. Of that amount, $837,459 is for the General Fund; $71,448 is for the DEA Seized Property Special Revenue Fund; $1,500 is for the Parks and Recreation Special Revenue Fund; $125,000 is for the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund; $20,623 is for Storm Water Utility Enterprise Fund; $218,500 is for the Fuels Internal Service Fund; $85,857 is for the Circuit Clerk Court Technology Fund. ¦ Public Information: Public information will be handled through the normal City Council agenda process. ¦ Attachments: Ordinance, Exhibit A: FY 2012-13 Items Requested for Carry Forward into FY 2013-14.

CENTERVILLE DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: September 10, 2013 ¦ Background: The applicant is applying for a Modification of Conditions for the purpose of constructing a 32-foot tall, 16,863 square foot addition to the existing church building located on the site. The Conditional Use Permit allowing the church was approved by the City Council on March 28, 2000. The Use Permit has two conditions, which require adherence to the site and building plans submitted with the Use Permit. The sanctuary structure currently located on the site was built soon after the approval of the Conditional Use Permit. While the conditioned site plan also showed future expansions, none were constructed. The applicant now proposes to expand the church; however, the proposed plans are different from the plans approved in 2000. As a result, the conditions of the Use Permit must be modified to allow the applicant to develop the site as now proposed. ¦ Considerations: Currently located on the site are a single-story 8,574 square foot sanctuary structure built in 2000, a 5,335 square foot wooden modular structure housing church offices and meeting rooms, and another 2,270 square foot wooden modular structure housing Sunday School classrooms, a kitchen, and a meeting room. The applicant proposes demolishing the two wooden modular structures to the southwest of the existing sanctuary structure and constructing a 16,863 square foot addition to the southeast (rear) of the existing sanctuary structure. This addition will serve as the Fellowship/Multi-Purpose portion of the church, and will include a kitchen, dining area, and classrooms. Each side of the proposed addition will have an exterior access point. The access point facing Kempsville Road on the northwest side of the site will serve as the new main entrance for the entire facility. Currently, the main entrance to the church is located at the rear of the building. Located in the general area of the two demolished modular structures will be an additional 33 parking spaces as well as a drive aisle that will provide vehicular circulation and allow passengers to be dropped-off under a porte-cochere. Eight New Covenant Presbyterian Church Page 2 of 3 more parking spaces, six of which will be for handicapped individuals, will be located on the northeast side of the facility. Due to the increase to the area of the site that will be impermeable, bio-retention beds are proposed at the rear of the site within an open grassy area as well as between the existing sanctuary structure and the proposed parking to the southwest. These beds are meant to remain partially dry, based on the weather, and will be covered with grass and landscaping. Construction is proposed to take place in two phases. Phase I will include the demolition of the wooden structure closest to the southwest lot line and construction of the Fellowship/Multi-Purpose addition. The Sunday School classrooms that are currently located within this structure to be demolished will be temporarily relocated to the remaining wood structure closest to the existing sanctuary building. Phase II will consist of the construction of the Fellowship/Multi-Purpose and the porte-cochere, the demolition of the final wooden structure, and the reconfiguration of the parking and landscaping. Details pertaining to the building and site details and staff's evaluation of the request are provided in the attached staff report. There was no opposition to the request. ¦ Recommendations: The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. All conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted by the City Council on March 28th, 2000 are deleted and superseded by the conditions herein. 2. The site layout and landscaping shall substantially conform to the submitted site plan entitled "Modification of Conditions Application Exhibit for NEW COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH," dated June 3, 2013, with the exception of the location of the rear bioretention bed, which shall be determined during development site plan review. 3. All new construction shall substantially conform to the submitted architectural elevations entitled, "NEW COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, BUILDING ELEVATIONS," and dated 6-3-2013. 4. Unless otherwise required by Public Works / Traffic Engineering during development site plan review, the existing point of vehicular access on New Covenant Presbyterian Church Page3of3 Kempsville Road shall be the only access point. 5. Phase I shall consist of the construction of the primary portion of the Fellowship/Multi-Purpose addition, eight parking spaces to the northeast of the existing sanctuary structure, the drive aisle that will go around the Fellowship/Multi-Purpose addition to the existing rear parking lot, the rear bioretention bed, and the demolition of the 2,770 square foot wooden structure. 6. Phase II shall consist of the construction of the two additions to the Fellowship/Multi-Purpose addition, a playground, 37 parking spaces to the southwest of the existing sanctuary structure, a porte-cochere connecting to the existing sanctuary structure, bioretention bed, and the demolition of the 5,335 square foot wooden structure. 7. A landscaping plan meeting the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance shall be submitted at site plan review. The layout of existing and proposed parking areas may slightly deviate from the submitted site plan to meet the minimum parking lot landscaping requirements. 8. The applicant shall ensure a minimum of Category I landscape screening exists along the side and rear lot lines at all times. 9. The development site plan submitted to the Planning Department / Development Services Center shall include a lighting plan. The lighting plan should include the height of poles located in the parking lot and the location of all pole-mounted and building-mounted lighting fixtures. The plan should list the type of lamp, wattage, and type of fixture. Full cut-off fixtures shall be used for parking lot lighting. ¦ Attachments: Staff Review and Disclosure Statements Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

The Sunday School classrooms that are currently located within this structure to be demolished will be temporarily relocated to the remaining wood structure closest to the existing sanctuary building. Phase II will consist of the construction of the Fellowship/Multi-Purpose and the porte-cochere, the demolition of the final wooden structure, and the reconfiguration of the parking and landscaping. The overall use and operation of the church will not change. The church will continue to operate seven days a week, with regular church hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday School and worship from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EXISTING LAND USE: Religious Use SURROUNDING LAND North: .

NEW COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN CHUitCH Agenda Item 9 Page 2 IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Kempsville Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a four-lane divided minor urban arterial. The Master Transportation Plan proposes a six-lane facility within a 150-foot wide right-of-way. Currently, this segment of roadway is functioning over-capacity at a LOS F. There are no Roadway Capital Improvement Program projects directly impacting this site. Access to Kempsville Road will remain unchanged. A right-turn lane into this site is already provided on Kempsville Road. TRAFFIC: Street Name Present Volume present Capacity Generated Traffic Kempsville Road 32,806 ADT 14,800 ADT Existing and Proposed Land Use 2- 611 ADT 198 Peak Hour Vehicles total Average Daily Trips Z no change in enerated trips since the capacit of the sanctua is not increasing WATER: The site currently connects to City water. There is an existing 1.5-inch meter (ID #95012575) that can be used or upgraded to accommodate the proposed development. There are two existing 20- inch City water mains along Kempsville Road. SEWER: This site currently connects to City sanitary sewer. Sanitary sewer and pump station analysis for Pump Station #449 is required to determine if future flows can be accommodated. There is an existing 8- inch City sanitary sewer main along Kempsville Road. There is a 24-inch force main along Kempsville Road. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION The applicant is requesting a Modification to the Conditional Use Permit, approved by City Council on March 28, 2000, for the purpose of constructing of a 16,863 square foot church addition. The proposed building elevations show the main building entrance located on the Kempsville Road facing faCade; currently, the main entrance is on the rear of the building. This shift of the main entrance to the front will bring much of the outdoor congregating activity to the front of the site and make it visible from the street. The red brick and earth tones of the EIFS walls, as shown on the submitted rendering and as called out on the aforementioned elevations, will match and complement the exterior of the existing sanctuary structure. Staff finds the building design appropriate, but encourages the applicant to use the vertical metal siding panels only on the portions of the facades that do not directly face the street. The metal panels should not be a primary exterior material for the building. Staff will work with the applicant regarding this issue during the review of the submitted plans. NEW COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Agenda Item 9 Page 3 As a result of the changes to the site layout, vehicular circulation and parking will be in closer proximity to the adjacent residential area. The Category I screening on the site will be increasingly vital to help prevent noise and headlights from impacting the adjacent homes, as well as to provide a more visually pleasing barrier between the parking and drive aisles and the residential yards. Additional landscaping may be required intermittently along the property lines to meet Category I screening requirements. Staff has included Condition 8 to ensure Category I screening is met. The applicant proposes an additional 41 parking spaces which brings the total amount of parking spaces provided to 115 spaces. Section 230 of the City Zoning Ordinance requires one parking space for every five seats or bench seating spaces in the main auditorium. Based on the seating capacity of the sanctuary 112 parking spaces are required; therefore, the required number of spaces is being provided. As shown on the site plan, the dumpster is located near the northeastern lot line. Staff recommends that this be relocated to a more central location within the site to prevent any noise disturbance to neighboring residents during trash pick-up. The applicant will be able to make this change during site plan review while still substantially conforming to the site plan submitted with this application. The applicant has proposed to use bio-retention beds to facilitate stormwater on-site. Staff recommends that the bio-retention bed to the rear of the lot be repositioned to the northeastern lot line and extend toward the rear lot line. This may be beneficial in the future, should the applicant decide to expand the church in the future. This will also preserve an existing large outdoor grass area for church recreational activities that will be visible from the street after all phases of construction are complete. Flexibility regarding the location of this rear bio-retention bed is included in Condition 2 to provide the opportunity for this revision during site plan review. The Conditions approved by City Council on March 28th, 2000 are as listed below: 1. Site layout and landscaping shall conform with the submitted site plan entitled "Conditional Use Permit Application Exhibit for New Covenant Presbyterian Church," dated December 15, 1999 and revised December 29, 1999 with the following exceptions: a.

Materials shall consist of red brick veneer with white EIFS accents; architectural design and materials shall conform with the color elevations entitled "New Covenant Presbyterian Church, Virginia Beach, Virginia," prepared by the Yates Group, dated 1-2-00 and annotated as sheet 3 of 4. Condition 1 b is now irrelevant, as the proposed site plan associated with this application provides details NEW COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Agenda Item 9 Page 4 regarding that addition Condition 1 d has been met; however, staff has included a condition with this application to ensure that access will continue to be limited to one access point off of Kempsville Road.

In sum, staff recommends approval of the applicanYs request for a Modification of Conditions with the conditions below. CONDITIONS 1.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: VB RECREATION, LLC (Applicant) - ELIAS PROPERTIES SALEM CROSSING, LLC (Owner), Conditional Use Permit for Indoor Commercial Recreation Facility (Indoor Trampoline Park). 2029 Lynnhaven Parkway (GPIN 1475868600). ROSE HALL DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: September 10, 2013 ¦ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for an Indoor Commercial Recreation Facility. The subject site is zoned B-2 Community Business District, and the Zoning Ordinance allows an Indoor Recreation Facility with a floor area greater than 7,500 square feet in the B-2 District only with a Conditional Use Permit. Such facilities with a floor area of 7,500 square feet or less are permitted without a Use Permit. The applicant proposes to use 18,257 square feet of the southernmost portion of the existing strip retail center located at 2029 Lynnhaven Parkway with a"Sky Zone" indoor trampoline park. Since the floor area exceeds 7,500 square feet, a Conditional Use Permit is required. ¦ Considerations: The indoor trampoline park consists of two '3-D' dodge ball courts, a foam zone court, a sky slam court, a main trampoline court, finro party rooms, a cafe that serves fountain drinks and pre-prepared packaged food, and a 200 square foot reserved seating area. The interior plan as well as photographs showing the various types of `courts' are provided at the end of the attached staff report. The facility will be able to accommodate large groups such as churches, corporate groups, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and athletic teams. The facility will also accommodate smaller groups, such as children's birthday parties. In addition, there are weekly leagues and tournaments for trampoline-based games such as dodge ball or cage ball, as well as activities such as aerobics or `toddler time.' Customers are also able to walk in and pay by the half-hour to use the facility. Sky Zone markets themselves to individuals of all ages and physical abilities. This is a franchised business that operates under the name of Sky Zone. As typical with franchised businesses, there is an existing set of standards each separate location must follow. These standards encompass all or a portion of branding, safety, materials, and operation. These requirements provide for a healthy and safe experience for customers and assure the facility has no impact to surrounding businesses and residential areas than already exist. Recently, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) adopted commercial VB Recreation, LLC Page2of3 trampoline court standards and regulations that cover the engineering, maintenance, and operation of such structures. While there is no requirement that the regulations be followed, Sky Zone has chosen to abide by these regulations. Details pertaining to the proposed use as well as staff's evaluation of the request are provided in the attached staff report. There was no opposition to the request. ¦ Recommendations: The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. This Use Permit applies only to the southernmost unit (approximately 18,300 square feet) of the Salem Crossing Shopping Center. 2. The proposed exterior building signage shall comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for signs. 3.

PROPERTY OWNER: ELIAS PROPERTIES SALEM CROSSING STAFF PLANNER: Kristine Gay REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit (Indoor Commercial Recreation Facility) ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: 2029 Lynnhaven Parkway GPIN: ELECTION DISTRICT 14758686000000 ROSE HALL SITE SIZE: 18,257 square feet (Floor Area of Unit) 19.67 acres (Entire Parcel) AICUZ: Less than 65 d6 DNL BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for an Indoor Commercial Recreation Facility. Such a use, if it has a floor area greater than 7,500 square feet, is allowed in the B-2 Community Business District with a Conditional Use Permit; if the floor area is 7,500 square feet or less, the use is permitted without a Use Permit. The applicant proposes to use 18,257 square feet of the southernmost portion of the existing strip retail center located at 2029 Lynnhaven Parkway with a"Sky Zone" indoor trampoline park. The indoor trampoline park consists of two '3-D' dodge ball courts, a foam zone court, a sky slam court, a main trampoline court, two party rooms, a cafe that serves fountain drinks and pre-prepared packaged food, and a 200 square foot reserved seating area. The interior plan as well as photographs showing the various types of `courts' are provided at the end of this report. The facility will be able to accommodate large groups such as churches, corporate groups, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and athletic VB RECREATION, L.L.C. Agenda Item 10 Page 1 teams. The facility will also accommodate smaller groups, such as children's birthday parties. In addition, there are weekly leagues and tournaments for trampoline-based games such as dodge ball or cage ball, as well as activities such as aerobics or 'toddler time.' Customers are also able to walk in and pay by the half-hour to use the facility. Sky Zone markets themselves to individuals of all ages and physical abilities. Customers to Sky Zone are greeted at the entrance by a staff inember. The customer is required to sign a legal waiver before being allowed to begin jumping. If the customer is under the age of 18, a legal guardian will also need to sign the waiver. If the customer is under the age of 13, an adult chaperone will need to stay with that customer. Sky Zone's Court Rules for Jumpers, as submitted with this application, are posted at the main entrance as well as at the entrance to each trampoline court area. At the time of signing in and purchasing jump-time, the customer is given a sticker which has the amount of trampoline time allotted to the customer, as well as their age. This sticker is checked by a staff member that serves as a Court Monitor at the entrance to each court. The hours of service range throughout the year. During the school year, it is typical for the business to also be closed one of the weekdays to maintain the facility. At the latest, the facility is open until 12:00 midnight and opens as early as 7:00 a.m. Staff will consist of approximately four managers and 30 to 35 employees. At all times, there is at least one manager working on-site. All managers are required to have first aid and automated external defibrillator (AED) training. Non-managerial employees are not required to have any training, but Sky Zone provides incentives for those that do. On a weekday during the school season there are typically six to seven non-managerial employees available in the facility to assist customers and supervise trampoline areas. On weekends throughout the year, as well as daily during the summer months, there are approximately 14 non-managerial employees available. Exterior changes to the site include the mounting of three signs: one orange SZ logo and two black-letter signs with the company's logotype. The signs are proposed for the east facing fagade. On the interior, the property owner has already taken measures to have a wall built to separate the existing use that occupies the northern part of what is currently one large unit from the southern half where the proposed use will be located. There will be no doors or direct access between the two with an exception of a shared loading dock in the rear. LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EXISTING LAND USE: Strip Retail Center / Conditional B-2 Community Business District SURROUNDING LAND North: . Strip Retail Center / B-2 Community Business District USE AND ZONING: . Multi-Family / A-12 Apartment District South: . Strip Retail / B-2 Community Business District East: . Parking lot, bank, and Lynnhaven Parkway / B-2 Community Business District West: . Vacant City-owned parcels / R-5D Residential District NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is developed with a strip shopping center consisting of CULTURAL FEATURES: large scale retail and small-scale specialty shops and services. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan defines the area of which the subject site is VB RECREATION, L,L.C. Agenda Item 10 Page 2 located as a Suburban Area. To maintain the stability of Suburban Areas, the Comprehensive Plan recommends the preservation of neighborhood quality, the creation and protection of open spaces, and the connection of suburban mobility. Compatible infill development, quality materials, attractive site and building design, improved mobility, residential buffering, and environmental sensitivity are all suggested by the Comprehensive Plan. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): The Master Transportation Plan's `Major Street Network Ultimate Rights-of-Way' lists these segments of Lynnhaven Parkway and Salem Road as 4-lane minor arterials within a 110-foot wide and 120-foot wide right-of-way respectively. Princess Anne Road is listed as an 8-lane major arterial in a in a 150-foot right-of-way respectively. There are no CIP projects in the area. TRAFFIC: The proposed use will occupy a unit within an existing shopping center. Traffic generation for shopping centers is based on the size of the entire center, rather than the uses within the individual units. Accordingly, there is no change in ADT 1 as a result of the proposed use. Street Name Present Volume Present Capacity Generated Traffic 21,300 ADT 27,300 ADT No Change (explanation Lynnhaven Parkway (2012) (Level of Service "D") is provided above) Average Daily Trips WATER & SEWER: This site is already connected to City water and sewer. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION This applicant proposes an 18,257 square foot indoor trampoline park. Indoor Recreational Facilities with a floor area greater than 7,500 square feet are allowed in the B-2 zoning district with a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed recreational use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's policies for the Suburban Area. This type of use helps support the recreational needs of residents in the area and provides a wholesome and healthy family environment. The applicant proposes no physical changes to the exterior of the site, beyond signage. The only physical changes taking place will occur within the identified 18,275 square feet inside the existing structure. The site is part of a major commercial center that was developed in accordance with the Retail Establishments and Shopping Centers Ordinance, ensuring quality site, architectural, and landscape design. Currently, an employee training facility is located at this site. This existing use will continue concurrently with #he VB RECRfATION, L,L.C. Agenda Item 10 Page 3 proposed use, but will be kept completely separated by a new wall. The applicant has submitted a parking study which supports the need for only 54 parking spaces. 18,275 square feet of the previous uses located at this site required up to as many as 72 spaces. Parking will be well accommodated by the existing spaces and will not impede on the availability of parking to other uses. This is a franchised business which operates under the name of Sky Zone. As typical with franchised businesses, there is an existing set of standards each separate location must follow. These standards encompass all or a portion of branding, safety, materials, and operation. These requirements provide for a healthy and safe experience for customers and assure the facility has no impact to surrounding businesses and residential areas than already exist. Recently, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) adopted commercial trampoline court standards and regulations that cover the engineering, maintenance, and operation of such structures. While there is no requirement that the regulations be followed, Sky Zone has chosen to abide by these regulations. Staff recommends approval of this Use Permit for an Indoor Recreational Facility at this location with the conditions below. CONDITIONS 1. This Use Permit applies only to the southernmost unit (approximately 18,300 square feet) of the Salem Crossing Shopping Center. 2. The proposed exterior building signage shall comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for signs. 3. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and inspections from the Planning Department / Permit and Inspections Division, Health Department, and Fire Department.

KEMPSVILLE DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: September 10, 2013 ¦ Background: Based on information available to Planning Department staff at the time, a determination was made that Visions Community Services would need a Conditional Use Permit for adult day care to operate at the subject site. During and after the Planning Commission public hearing, there was discussion between the applicant and staff regarding the services provided by the applicant. Those discussions resulted in the conclusion that the original designation of the use as an adult day care was not consistent with the type of services provided, as the applicant's emphasis is to enhance the abilities of adults who are disabled for a variety of reasons. Such use is permitted within the I-1 Light Industrial District. ¦ Considerations: Based on the finding that a Conditional Use Permit is not required, as explained above, the applicant was instructed to submit a request to withdraw the application. That request was subsequently submitted and is attached. ¦ Recommendations: Allow withdrawal of the application as requested by the applicant. ¦ Attachments: Request for Withdrawal Location Map Recommended Action: Allow withdrawal of the application per the request of the applicant.

ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH - An Ordinance to Amend Section 212 and Add a New Section 217 of the City Zoning Ordinance, pertaining to Electronic Displays of Motor Vehicle Fuel Prices. MEETING DATE: September 10, 2013 ¦ Background: The Zoning Ordinance currently does not allow the use of electronic display technology for signs advertising the price of fuel being sold at motor vehicle service stations, convenience stores with fuel pumps, or any other establishment where fuels are sold to the public. This proposed amendment to Section 212 and the addition of a new Section 217 will provide a very limited exception to the Zoning Ordinance's prohibition of electronic display signage by allowing motor vehicle fuel prices to be displayed in electronic display (LED) format. ¦ Considerations: The amendment to Section 212 provides that Electronic Display Signs are allowed subject to Section 217. The new Section 217 allows Electronic Display (LED) technology to be used as part of a sign that advertises fuel prices. The new section contains several restrictions on such displays, including the following: ' • The signs will only be allowed as part of a Conditional Use Permit for an automobile service station at which motor vehicle fuels are offered for sale (includes a convenience store where fuel is sold). The signs will also be allowed at establishments for which a Conditional Use Permit allowing fuel sales has previously been granted and remains in effect. • There will be no more than one such sign on the zoning lot where the establishment is located. • The sign will be monument-style and will not be allowed to exceed eight feet in height. • The sign will have no more than three separate panels for the electronic display of fuel prices, and each panel will be limited to the display of a single grade of fuel. • The fuel prices will not be allowed to change more often than two times in any 24-hour period. • Scrolling, flashing, blinking, or other type of intermittent movement or illumination of the elements of the electronic display will not be allowed. • The electronic display cannot exceed more than two colors. City of Virginia Beach - Fuel Price Signs Page 2 of 2 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. ¦ Attachments: Staff Review Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Ordinance Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.
