ITEM: An Ordinance declaring the property located at 118 West Lane (GPIN 2407-94- 4649) to be in excess of the City's needs and authorizing the City Manager to sell the property to Darrell Edwards and Jessica Shay Edwards. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: As part of the APZ-1 Use and Acquisition Plan, the City of Virginia Beach acquired 118 West Lane (the "Property") on October 24, 2012 for $210,000. At the time of acquisition, the Property was improved with a developed duplex, which has been demolished. The Property is 9,514 sq. ft. Darrell and Jessica Shay Edwards (the "Buyers"), own adjacent properties at 1552, 1556 and 1562 New York Avenue. The Buyers propose to purchase the Property for $9,514 ($1/SF) and resubdivide it with their adjacent properties to create one residential lot. ¦ Considerations: The Property will be sold with a deed restriction that prevents any new dwelling units from being constructed. The APZ-1 Disposition Committee reviewed the Property and determined that it should be sold to the adjoining property owner. The sale would enhance the neighborhood and reduce density. The Buyers' offer of $1 per square foot is consistent with previous City properties sold as excess in the APZ-1 area that were not building sites. If the City retains the Property, the City must pay to maintain the lot, an estimated annual cost of $630. ¦ Public Information: Advertisement for public hearing as required by Section 15.2-1800 Code of Virginia and advertisement of City Council Agenda. ¦ Alternatives: Retain ownership of the Property. ¦ Recommendations: Approve the request and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to convey the Property subject to the terms and conditions in the attached Summary of Terms and such other terms, conditions or modifications as may be acceptable to the City Manager and in a form deemed satisfactory to the City Attorney. ¦ Revenue restrictions: The City funded the acquisition of the Property through the partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia. The proceeds from the sale of the Property in the amount of $9,514 will be received and fifty percent (50%) of the amount will be appropriated to CIP #9-060, Oceana and Interfacility Traffic Area Conformity and Acquisition, and fifty percent (50%) will be deposited for future payment by the City Manager to refund the Commonwealth's portion in accordance with the grant agreement. A manual encumbrance will be established to ensure that the $4,757 retained by the City will be available for BRAC program acquisitions in future years per the agreement with the Commonwealth. ¦ Attachments: Ordinance, Summary of Terms and Location Map Recommended Action: Approval of the ordinance Submitting DepartmentlAgency: Public Works Fd? ?n f1 k,? ??,v City Manager: w : _ _... ?•. r..._ - z J ?

The City of Virginia Beach has spent the last several years developing unique development plans that will shape the future of each of the City's eight Strategic Growth Areas (SGA's) and four Special Economic Growth Areas (SEGA's). This revision seeks to update the 2001 policy by focusing upon those partnerships that are consistent with the SGA's and SEGA's. 2.0 Policy Statement City Council may consider investment partnerships that meet the desirability and feasibility criteria set forth in this policy. Accordingly, staff is directed to follow the process described in Section 5.0 to review and evaluate potential partnerships. 3.0 Criteria: Desirable and Feasible Proiect A desirable project will have many, but not necessarily all, of the following characteristics: 3.1 Compliance with City Council goals. City Council has identified a diverse local economy and living choices as key for the City's future. Investment partnerships should be based upon the project's ability to meet Council's goals. Other City Council goals and objectives may be identified in the SGA Plans, the Comprehensive Plan and the Envision 2040 Plan. 3.2 The project is located within a SGA or SEGA. 3.3 The private sector investment is a minimum of $30 million and acts as a building block for future beneficial development. City Council Policy Guidelines for Evaluation of Investment Partnerships for Economic Development Page 2 3.4 The project aligns with SGA/SEGA design principles. 3.5 Proximity to light rail stations. Most SGAs are within %2 mile of proposed light rail stations, and proximity to such stations should encourage successful development. 3.6 Historical financial and construction development integrity. A partner should have the financial capacity and experience that suggests the ability to complete the project. 3.7 Generates jobs and supports target industry development. The Economic Development Department has identified professional, scientific, technical, information, high perFormance manufacturing, and headquarter and regional businesses as targeted industries. 3.8 Projects support pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. Walkable streets and bicycle amenities support the SGA goal of walkable, safe, and connected communities. 3.9 Offers housing stock variety. If housing is included in the project, the City has a goal of providing high-quality and affordable housing to a diverse range of households. The project must also be financially feasible for the City and the private partner: 3.10 Fiscal, economic, and/or social benefits will be greater because of a public investment partnership based on a due diligence evaluation. 3.11 A fair and reasonable return (fiscal, economic, and/or social) is provided to both the private and public sector partners. 3.12 The project will not proceed, or will not proceed at a desired quality level, "but/for" a public sector investment partnership. 3.13 Partner is willing to enter into a Development Agreement that allocates responsibilities and risk. City Council Policy Guidelines for Evaluation of Investment Partnerships for Economic Development Page 3 4.0 Investment Partnership Incentives Investment partnerships may take a variety of forms and require the mixing and matching of incentives. The following is a list of typical incentives that may be considered in these partnerships. 4.1 Annual revenue and/or fee incentive grants 4.2 Density bonuses 4.3 Establishment of a special service district (SSD) 4.4 Economic Development Incentive Program (EDIP) grants 4.5 Land swaps, grants, and transfers 4.6 Lease of City-owned or Development Authority-owned property 4.7 Assisted Plan Review 4.8 Public infrastructure, parking, and amenities 4.9 Sustainability and/or rehabilitation tax relief 4.10 Other incentives that may be available or considered for the partnerships 5.0 Definitions 5.1 Investment partnerships are agreements between the City or the Development Authority, and a private entity, usually a developer. To leverage large scale development, generate public benefit, or increase tax revenues, the City makes a partnership with a developer enabling SGA and SEGA plan compliance, maximizing development potential, and accomplishing a project otherwise not achievable. City Council Policy Guidelines for Evaluation of Investment Partnerships for Economic Development Page 4 5.2 Strategic Growth Areas, as defined in the 2009 Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan, are designed to concentrate growth in a strategic and sustainable way, developing centers of employment, living, commerce, shopping, and arts and culture. The SGAs, almost all of which are located along the City's primary transportation corridor, emphasize a `smarter' type of growth. 5.3 Special Economic Growth Areas, as defined in the 2009 Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan, are four predominantly nonresidential areas, located adjacent to NAS Oceana and in the InterFacility Traffic Area targeting land uses compatible with the military. 6.0 P rocess 6.1 The private partner makes a formal request of the City to engage in an investment partnership. In response to this request or application, the City Manager, Deputy City Manager(s), the City Attorney, the Director of Finance, and the Directors of Economic Development, Planning, Finance and Management Services, SGA Office as needed, have a preliminary meeting (or a series of ineetings) with the prospective partner. The purpose of this meeting and review is to determine if the project is a desirable project. 6.2 If the project meets the desirability characteristics, then the prospective partner may be directed to submit, additional information to enable the City to evaluate, among other things, the qualifications of the developer and the significance of the economic and fiscal impacts. 6.3 The City Manager will brief City Council and request the appointment of Council liaisons for the project. 6.4 The City Manager (or the City Manager designee) will assign a Project Manager. If not previously completed, the City will complete a study of the economic, fiscal and social impacts of the project, including, without limitation, the number of jobs, type of jobs, salaries paid, as well as economic, community, and other impacts. City Council Policy Guidelines for Evaluation of Investment Partnerships for Economic Development Page 5 6.5 A Term Sheet may be developed, in concert with the City Attorney, and presented to City Council for concurrence. 6.6 The Project Manager will undertake stakeholder input that is appropriate based upon the size and scope of the project. 6.7 A Development Agreement is prepared with the developer/partner. Any such agreement is prepared under the direction and supervision of the City Attorney. 6.8 The Development Agreement is brought before the City Council and/or Development Authority for formal approval.

The amount of the grant should bear some relationship to a portian of the direct City revenue generated by the project. For example, reai estate, admissions, sales (local portion only), or other locality coHected taxes couid be granted back to the developer until a financial threshold is met. Because of state law restrictions, the granting af funds related solely to economic development may only be provided by the Development Authority. The Economic Development Incentive Program (ED1P) is a specific grant program that is discussed in further detail below. • Density Bonuses: In accordance with SGA/SEGA plans, developments requesting greater density may ba authorized ta exceed density limits in certain circumstances One example of such a density bonus is the Workforce Housing Zoning Ordinance in Appendix A, Article 21, 5ection 2100 af the City Code. • Special Service Districts: When a Special Service District {SSD} is established (Virginia Code §§15.2-2400, ef seq.), additional #axes are levied against the district's real property. SSD funds may be used for certain statutorify pravided facifities and activities such as increased garbage removal and disposal and public parking. + Economic Develapment Incentive Program (EDtP) Grants: EDiPs are one time, reimbursement grants designed to stimulate economic grouvkh and competitively pasition localities by promoting business development. In Virginia Beach, the Development Au#hority administers the program with annual support from City col(ected cigarette taxes. It is designed fo fiexibly aid with the cost of new business relocations and expansians within the City. In refurn, new and expanding businesses generate additional direct, indirect, and induced tax revenues. fncentive qualification is dependent upon new jab creat€on, capital investment, compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and overall ecanomic development strategy. • Land Swaps, Grants and Transfers: City-owned property may be sold, subdivided, made subjeet ta a condominium regime, swapped, or otherwise leveraged to make a project feasible. • Lease Agreemen#s: The City may lease its reak property, for a period of less than forty years, when there is a public benefit to such lease. • Assisted Plan Review (APR): Assisted Pian Review is a service established for projects within the SGAs and SEGAs meeting City Council approved criteria. The APR Seevice will shepherd developers thraugh the permitting process to aid development. + Public tnfrastructure, Parking and Amenities: Where public works are needed, the City may keverage its Capital Improvement Program. Capital projects can be designated to finance structured public parking, public amenities, new roadways, stormwater infrastructure, or enhanced public utilities. • Sustainabifity and Rehabititation Tax Relie# Prograrns: The City has aciap#ed a lower tax rate for certain energy-efficient properties. The City alsa has a partial real estate tax exemption program for substantially rehabilitated, renovated, or replaced commercial or industrial structures. The exemption is applied to the increase in assessed value as calculated by the City Rea( Estate Assessor resu[ting fram rehabilitation. 6 Policy Report -- lnvestment Partnership Incentives December 2, 2013 AFPEMDtX B- DUE DILIGEMCE EVALUATION In order far the Cify to determine fhe significance of the economic, fiscat, and social impacts of an investment partnership, the foilQwing is a summaey of information that may be needed: .

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM .' ITEMS: (1) An Ordinance to Amend the City Code of the City to Create the Harbour Point Neighborhood Dredging Special Service District, and to Levy Additional Taxes on Real Property within the Harbour Point Neighborhood Dredging Special Service District (2) An Ordinance to Create Capital Project #8-504, "Harbour Point Neighborhood Dredging" and to Transfer Funds to CIP #8-504 MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: In the FY 2011-12 Budget Process, the City Council adopted a policy for neighborhood dredging. The policy provides the purpose and the need unuerlying the establishment of various special service districts. Benefits expected through the establishment of a neighborhood dredging special service district include the preservation of navigable waterways, the enhancement and improvement of storm water capacity and water quality, the protection of public recreation areas, and the protection of property within each service district. As provided by the policy, the City may partner with neighborhoods wherein at least 80% of the affected property owners provide signed petitions asking for the establishment of a special service district. As part of this agreement, the City will pay for the dredging of the City spur channel, and the Special Service District will pay for the neighborhood channel dredging. The City, through its Department of Public Works, has received signed petitions from a sufficient number of the affected property owners in the Harbour Point Area to meet the 80% threshold. The Harbour Point Area Dredging Special Service District ("Service District") will serve 46 properties. The first dredging is pianned in FY 2015-16, with the second and third dredging cycles expected to occur in FY 2022-23 and FY 2029-30, respectively. The City staff has provided the enumerated special service district levy based on the FY 2012-13 assessed values of the properties within the Service District. The staff will re- calculate the estimated project costs at least every four years. After the completion of the third dredging cycle and the payment of any outstanding costs associated with the dredging, the Service District will dissolve, and the properties will no longer be subject to the additiorial levy. ¦ Considerations: State law permits the City to establish a special service district for the purpose of providing additional services, including dredging creeks and rivers to maintain existing uses. A neighborhood dredging project is a partnership between the City, the neighborhood, and the property owners. For the Harbour Point Area, the City's obligation for the spur channel is an estimated $21,362 for the initial dredging in FY2015-16. The neighborhood channel dredging that is provided by the Service District is an estimated $89,333, with $30,851 expected in cumulative real estate taxes Neighborhood Dredging SSD Page 2 of 2 generated through year 3. Property owners have the option of providing individual contributions to pay the costs associated with property access channel dredging; however, these costs are not reflected in the project at this time. The Service District is not anticipated to generate ample funding through the levy to complete the first neighborhood channel dredging in FY 2015-16 as planned; therefore, the City will provide an estimated $58,482 in additional funding beyond the City's contribution for the spur channel in order to initiate the first dredging, with the Service District repaying the City's General Fund in future years. Using the FY2012-13 assessed values, the additional levy on the 46 properties is 7.9 cents per $100 of assessed value. This levy will provide the funding for the neighborhood channel dredging. The effective date of the Service District will be July 1, 2014. A second ordinance is attached. This ordinance establishes Capital Project 8-504, "Harbour Point Neighborhood Dredging," to capture the costs associated with the Harbour Point Neighborhood Dredging Project. A total of $21,473 is provided to the project in FY 2013-14 design and a total of $95,269 is provided by City and SSD sources to initiate the first dredging in FY2015-16.

To date, the Oyster Heritage Trust has received $647,980 from private donations to support this goal. In conjunction with the Trust Fund, the Department of Planning and Community Development has developed an Oyster Heritage Plan with the assistance of various agencies of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA, Lynnhaven River NOW, and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. A total of $569,405 has been expended to date from the Trust Fund to develop and implement the plan, which has resulted in the identification of multiple sites in the Lynnhaven River watershed for construction and seeding of oyster reefs. These efforts began in the summer of 2002 and over 60 acres of oyster habitat have been constructed to date. The Lynnhaven River NOW community watershed organization has developed a model oyster shell recycling program in partnership with the City - the first of its kind in the Commonwealth - and has initiated efforts to undertake an annual survey of oyster populations on sanctuary reefs in the Lynnhaven River. The Lynnhaven Oyster Restoration Project was awarded a Presidential Coastal America Award in 2009 as an exemplary successful national habitat restoration project model and has been recognized as the second largest oyster restoration effort in the world. This item would appropriate funds from the Trust Fund to continue restoration efforts. ¦ Considerations: City staff has been working to develop a cost-sharing arrangement with the Army Corps of Engineers, Lynnhaven River NOW, and the Virginia Marine Resources Commission as part of the Oyster Heritage Plan. The completion of previous oyster reef projects has established a sound model for continued future oyster reef restoration efforts in the Lynnhaven watershed and has helped reestablish a viable commercial oyster industry in the Lynnhaven. The ongoing Oyster Heritage Plan implementation strategy represents a significant effort by the City to continue to address restoration of the environmental quality of the Lynnhaven River watershed and shows local commitment to achieving Virginia and federal government objectives towards restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. This proposed oyster heritage project links directly to a major step forward on continuing this integrated strategy, which has been developed for environmental restoration of the Lynnhaven, by working to prioritize efforts at restoration within those areas of the watershed that exhibit the least severe water quality problems. As a result of recent research, the Lynnhaven watershed has been recognized as a prime spot for oyster restoration for the entire Chesapeake Bay because it is a trap estuary with high salinity, had historically high populations of native oysters, and has considerably higher oyster recruitment today than many other sites in the Chesapeake Bay. The current project consists of: (1) continuation of an oyster shell education and recycling program; and (2) initiating an annual survey of oyster populations on sanctuary reefs in the Lynnhaven. The shell recycling project has proven to be quite successful in recovering oyster shell for construction and maintenance of oyster reef habitat. The reef survey project will enable accurate evaluation of the success of oyster restoration efforts on sanctuary reefs and help target limited resources for future restoration efforts. The total cost to the City for participation in this project is $33,727. ¦ Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal City Council Agenda process. ¦ Recommendations: It is recommended that Council appropriate $33,727 from the Oyster Heritage Trust Fund to the FY 2013-14 Operating Budget of the Department of Planning and Community Development to increase oyster habitat in the Lynnhaven River watershed, conduct the annual sanctuary reefs oyster survey, and continue the Oyster Shell Recycling Program. ¦ Attachments: Ordinance; Lynnhaven River NOW Oyster Shell Reclamation Project 2013 Report Recommended Action: Approval of Ordinance Submitting Department/Agency: Department of Planning and Community Development City Manage . ? ` 1 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FROM THE 2 OYSTER HERITAGE TRUST FUND 3 4 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, 5 VIRGINIA: 6 7 That $33,727 is hereby appropriated, with estimated revenue increased accordingly, 8 from the fund balance of the Oyster Heritage Trust Fund to the FY 2013-14 Operating 9 Budget of the Department of Planning and Community Development to increase oyster 10 habitat in the Lynnhaven River watershed, conduct the annual sanctuary reefs oyster 11 survey, and continue the Oyster Shell Recycling Program.

CA12873 R-1 December 31, 2013 lynnhaven R'nrer NOW Oyster Shell Redamativn Project 2013 Report UNNHAVENRiverNOW R , g ,-.., Lynnhaven River NOW (LRNow) has administered the Save Oyster Shell project for the City of Virginia Beach since 2008. Each year, we have successfully grown the program collecting from more restaurants, public drop off sites, and events. This past year, January 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013, the program grew even more. With the funding for this project, LRNow collected oyster shelis and clam shells from restaurants, oyster roast events and public drop off sites throughout the c'ity. We employ a driver who picks up from each regular location at least four times per week. In addition, we work with commun'ity organizations including civic leagues, other non-proflt organizations, and churches, to provide containers for the shells before their event and pick up the shells after the event. We also pick up shell from four public drop-off sites throughout the city: LRNow office in the Bayside area; Whole Foods in Hilltop; Virginia Beach Aquarium on General Booth Boulevard, and the Landfill on lake Sears Road. Between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, we have collected 2,675 bushels of shell. We are averaging between 200 and 250 bushels of shelis per month. Each year of the project, these numbers have increased. We set a new monthly record of 308 bushels in July, 2013. All shells will be used to rebuild oyster reefs in the Lynnhaven River. This program also keeps this valuable resource out of our solid waste. We currently have twenty active restaurants enrolled in the program and four public drop-off locations. In addition, we worked with various commun'ity organizations to collect shells from sixteen public oyster roast events during the past year. LRNow provides all necessary equipment to the restaurants and events: oyster baskets, galvanized buckets for the tables, shell cans for outdoor storage, 5 gallon buckets for the kitchens, children's menus, posters and menu stickers. We continue to improve our outreach efforts. The Save Oyster Shell program is publicized on our website, through our electronic newsletters and our print newsletters. We provide the participating restaurants with posters to display in the restaurant and developed, in 2013, a new sticker for their menus. In addition, in 2013, we began tracking not only daily bushel totals, but also totals for each individual restaurant. We are now providing the participating restaurants with quarterly statements documenting their shell contribution. And we were featured on Joe's Jobs on WVEC news and on the WVEC website in 2013. A breakdown of the expenses for January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 follows: (I am basing estimated expenses for December, 2013, on actual November, 2013 expenses and will make adjustments as needed in 2014) Drivers and mileage $16,614.46 Supplies and Equipment $ 2,850.00 Administration, Advertising and Insurance $13,262.00 TOTAL $ 32,726.46 ?

We are excited about upcoming oyster restoration projects that will utilize this shell. Shell for oyster restoration work is a rapidly declining commodity. This program provides us with the opportunity to collect shell that can go into restoration work, not in our landfill, as well as educate the public on the value of oyster habitat In addition, it is an important component of the new Lynnhaven Aquacuhure Center opening next year.

GRANT. (GPIN 2418867918). BEACH DISTRICT MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: The subject site is zoned R-7.5 Residential and is situated on the southeast corner of 45th Street and the Cavalier Walk. The site is occupied by a two-story single-family dwelling and a garage apartment, both of which were constructed sometime in the 1950s as permitted uses. Garage apartments were deleted from the Zoning Ordinance as a permitted use in 1985. When that use was deleted from the Zoning Ordinance, the two dwellings on the lot became nonconforming, as the R-7.5 Residential District permits only one single-family dwelling on a lot. Section 105(b) notes that it is the intent of the Zoning Ordinance to allow nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to allow them to become enlarged, expanded, extended, or relocated "except upon a resolution of the City Council authorizing such conversion, based upon its finding that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconforming use." ¦ Considerations: The applicant proposes to expand the single-family dwelling by constructing a new sunroom in place of the existing 21' x 12.5' first-floor sunroom, located on the south side of the house, and constructing a new second-floor living space above the sunroom within the same footprint. The proposed exterior building materials consist of brick, cedar shake shingles, composition fiberboard trim, fiberglass half-columns (framing the exterior corners of the sunroom), double- hung windows, and fiberglass asphalt roof shingles. The materials match those found on the existing house. The proposed construction will result in an increase of 262.5 square feet of floor area. As noted above, since the current use of the site is nonconforming, the proposed expansion of the second-floor of the house cannot occur without authorization of the City Council as provided for by Section 105. ¦ Recommendations: Staff finds that the proposed addition is minor in its scope, but will result in a high-quality enhancement to the house that is compatible with regard to exterior BARBARA GRANT Page 2 of 2 materials and architectural style. In sum, staff concludes that the proposed enlargement is reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and will maintain the use as being as appropriate to the district as the existing non-conforming use. The request, therefore, is acceptable with the conditions below. The proposed addition shall be substantially as shown on the submitted elevation and detail drawings, entitled "Grant Residence Renovation and Addition, 308 45th Street, Virginia Beach, Virginia," Sheets A3 and A4, prepared by Reich Design Associates, and dated 5/13/13.

Accordingly, the existing use of the parcel for a six-unit apartment building is a nonconforming use, as provided for by Section 105 of the City Zoning Ordinance. Section 105(b) notes that it is the intent of the Zoning Ordinance to allow nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to allow them to become enlarged, expanded, extended, or relocated "except upon a resolution of the City Council authorizing such conversion, based upon its finding that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconforming use." The roof of the existing building is in need of repair and replacement. The applicant requests that, while in the process or repairing the roof, he be allowed to add dormers to the roof for the purpose of improving the appearance of the building. Due to the nonconforming status of the use, however, its enlargement of by the addition of the dormers to the structure requires City Council's approval. ¦ Considerations: The proposed work to the structure includes replacing existing roof shingles, replacing a portion of an existing metal roof, and removing and replacing roof sheathing as necessary. The work will also include the addition of three gable dormers on both the east and west sides of the building. The submitted elevation drawing shows a dormer located at the centerline of the roof, with dormers evenly spaced to each side of the central dormer. The proposed dormers are being added only to improve the appearance of the building. The interior livable floor area will not increase as a result of the addition of the dormers. WAYNE BEAGLE Page 2 of 2 ¦ Recommendations: Staff concludes that the proposed enlargement through the proposed dormer additions are reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and will be as appropriate to the district as is the existing non-conforming use. The request, therefore, is acceptable with the conditions below. 1. The proposed dormers shall be located as shown on the submitted elevation drawing, prepared by the applicant, Wayne Beagle. Said elevation drawing has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 2. All required permits for the proposed renovations and additions shall be obtained from the Planning Department/ Permit and Inspections Division. ¦ Attachments: Staff Review and Disclosure Statement Resolution Location Map Recommended Action: Approval.

The building was constructed in 1950, predating the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance. The property is zoned R-5D Residential, which does not permit multi-family dwelling units. Accordingly, the existing use of the parcel for a six-unit apartment building is a nonconforming use, as provided for by Section 105 of the City Zoning Ordinance. Section 105(b) notes that it is the intent of the Zoning Ordinance to allow nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to allow them to become enlarged, expanded, extended, or relocated "except upon a resolution of the City Council authorizing such conversion, based upon its finding that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconforming use." The proposed modifications to the structure include replacing existing roof shingles, replacing a portion of an existing metal roof, and removing and replacing roof sheathing as necessary. The applicant also wishes to add three gable dormers on both the east and west sides of the building. The submitted elevation drawing shows a dormer located at the centerline of the roof, with dormers evenly spaced to WAYNE BEAGLE JANUARY 14, 2014 CITY COUNCIL HEARING Page 1 each side of the central dormer. The proposed dormers are being added only to improve the appearance of the building. The interior livable floor area will not increase as a result of the addition of the dormers. LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EXISTING LAND USE: Multi-family dwelling with six units. SURROUNDING LAND North: . Duplex dwelling / R-5D Residential District USE AND ZONING: South: . Southern Boulevard • Single-family homes / R-5D Residential District East: . Ash Avenue • Apartment Buildings / A-18 Apartment District West: . Single-family homes / R-5D Residential District NATURAL RESOURCE AND The majority of the site is developed with a multi-family dwelling and CULTURAL FEATURES: paved parking area. There do not appear to be any natural resource or cultural features associated with the site. The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES There will be no impact to City services beyond the current impacts from the existing dwelling as a result of this proposal. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION The site contains a one-story, six-unit apartment building. The property has continually been used in this capacity since the construction of the building in 1950, before the adoption of a zoning ordinance. The property is zoned R-5D Residential, which does not permit multi-family dwelling units. The existing six-unit apartment building, therefore, constitutes a nonconforming use (Section 105 of the City Zoning Ordinance). Section 105(b) notes that it is the intent of the Zoning Ordinance to allow nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to allow then to become enlarged, expanded, extended, or relocated "except upon a resolution of the City Council authorizing such conversion, based upon its finding that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing WAYNE BEAGLE JANUARY 14, 2014 CITY COUNCIL HEARING Page 2 nonconforming use." Accordingly, the addition of six dormers on the east and west sides of the roof cannot proceed without the approval of City Council. The proposed dormers will not add any living space to the building and will not extend outside of the footprint of the existing structure. The proposed enlargement is reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and will maintain the use as being as appropriate to the district as the existing non-conforming use. The request, therefore, is acceptable with the conditions below. CONDITIONS 1. The proposed dormers shall be located as shown on the submitted elevation drawing, prepared by the applicant, Wayne Beagle. Said elevation drawing has been exhibited to the City of Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 2. All required permits for the proposed renovations and additions shall be obtained from the Planning Department/ Permit and Inspections Division. NOTE: Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site p/an submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicab/e City Codes and Standards. All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of P/anning / Development Services Center and Department of P/anning / Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any uses allowed by this application are valid or any structures may be occupied. 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 (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.

City Attorney's Office CA12857 R-1 December 17, 2013 4•?E°? a a...;,1`f.t CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: A Resolution Authorizing the Reconstruction and Enlargement of a Nonconforming Use Located at 215 51St Street and Owned by Erik Homes LLC. BEACH DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: The subject site is zoned R-5R Residential and is currently occupied by a 1'/2- story house situated 23 feet from the front lot line at 51st Street and a 2-story garage apartment situated in the northwest corner of the lot, 9 feet from the rear (north) lot line and 4.92 feet from the side (west) lot line. The existing structures were built in 1940, when there was no zoning ordinance in Princess Anne County or the Town of Virginia Beach. The current City Zoning Ordinance does not permit more than one single-family or duplex dwelling to be built on one lot within the R-5R Resort Residential District. Accordingly, the two single-family dwellings on one lot are nonconforming uses, as provided for by Section 105 of the City Zoning Ordinance. Section 105 of the City Zoning Ordinance regulates nonconforming uses and structures. Section 105(b) states that it is the intent of the Zoning Ordinance to allow nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to allow them to become enlarged, expanded, extended, or relocated "except upon a resolution of the City Council authorizing such conversion, based upon its finding that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconforming use." ¦ Considerations: The applicant requests permission to demolish the two existing single-family dwellings located on the subject lot, followed by the construction of two new single-family dwellings. The attached staff report provides details pertaining to the differences between the dimensional attributes of the existing and proposed structures as well as the architectural design of the proposed townhouses. The Comprehensive Plan recommendations for this portion of the Suburban Area emphasize the use of "Best Management Practices" for stormwater control, porous materials for driveways and walkways in an effort to achieve a net reduction of impervious coverage, and attractive and high quality materials that ERIK HOMES - 51St STREET Page2of3 are capable of withstanding severe weather events. The proposed use and development of this site meets all of these recommendations with the exception of stormwater management. While the total impervious surFace will be increasing by 17 percent, the applicant has agreed to preserve 5 of the existing 12 trees on site. Of the 7 trees that will be removed, 5 trees are of unknown species and are covered in vines, and 2 of the trees are located either in the proposed building footprint or driveway area. The applicant proposes to install over 1,824 square feet of permeable pavers, as well as plant 15 Tuscan cypress trees and pampas grass to assist in the absorption and filtering of stormwater. ¦ Recommendations: Staff concludes that the proposed reconstruction and enlargement of the existing nonconforming use is reasonable and will be as appropriate to the zoning district as is the existing nonconforming use. The request, therefore, is acceptable as submitted, subject to the conditions below. 1. The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted conceptual site plan entitled "215 51 St Street Conceptual Site Plan," dated December 10, 2013, and prepared by Land Planning Solutions. Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 2. The proposed dwelling shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the submitted building elevations. Said elevations have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file in the Planning Department. 3. Exterior building materials shall substantially conform to the submitted document entitled, "STANDARDS 51St Street Villas." Said building materials primarily consist of masonry, stucco finish, mahogany trim, pervious cobblestone, pervious pavers, operable shutters, cedar fencing, and `lifetime-grade' architectural shingles. 4. Trees on the site shall be persevered substantially in accordance to the submitted plan entitled "Tree Preservation Plan," dated 12-13- 2013. Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 5. The minimum width of the driveway shall be 12 feet, as measured at the property line.

The existing dwellings were built in 1940, when there was no zoning ordinance in Princess Anne County or the Town of Virginia Beach. The current City Zoning Ordinance does not permit more than one single-family or duplex dwelling to be built on one lot within the R-5R Resort Residential District. Accordingly, the two single-family dwellings on one lot are nonconforming uses, as provided for by Section 105 of the City Zoning Ordinance. The existing dwellings on the lot consist of a 1%z-story house situated 23 feet from the front lot line at 51St Street and a 2-story garage apartment situated in the northwest corner of the lot, 9 feet from the rear (north) lot line and 4.92 feet from the side (west) lot line. Both structures are accessed via a shared driveway along the east lot line. The finro dwellings have the following dimensional attributes: ERIK HOMES, L.L.C. / 51St STREET JANUARY 14, 2014 CITY COUNCIL HEARING Page 1 The two proposed dwellings will be 2'/z-story single-family houses. The dwelling located nearest to 51S` Street (Dwelling A - `Main House') will have a footprint of 35 feet x 38 feet. The dwelling located nearest to the rear lot line (Dwelling B-`Cottage') will have a footprint of 35 feet x 35 feet. The facades of the proposed dwellings will be as shown in the elevations submitted with this application, which are included at the end of this report. Dwellings will be placed on the lot as shown by the submitted conceptual site plan, which is included at the end of this report. The dimensional attributes of the proposed dwellings are provided in the table below.

Cobble-stone will partially edge the driveway and dwellings. Each dwelling unit will have one outdoor dedicated parking space and one garage dedicated parking space. There are currently 12 trees located on this site, many of which are mature hollies and pines. The applicant has proposed to preserve 1 holly, 3 pines, and 1 tree (unidentified species). NATURAL RESOURCE AND There are no known significant cultural features associated with this CULTURAL FEATURES: site. There are 12 trees are located on this site, including mature hollies and pines. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The subject site is located in Suburban Focus Area 7- North Beach. Recommendations for this area include the use of porous materials as well as attractive and high-quality weather-resistant materials. Parcel consolidation and density stabilization are also recommended. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Access to this site is proposed from 515' Street. 51s' Street is a finro-lane local street with a forty-foot (40') right-of-way width. This roadway is not included in the City's Master Transportation Plan, and there are currently no CIP projects scheduled for either street. PUBLIC WORKS/TRAFFIC ENGINEERING: The maximum width of the driveway along 515t Street must be 12 feet, measured at the property line. A five-foot (6) right-of-way dedication is requested along 51St Street adjacent to the full width of the property. Such dedication will provide for a future 50-foot minimum right-of-way width in accordance with the City of Virginia Beach Public Works Standards.

The type of redevelopment proposed for the site is consistent with the goal of "density stability" of the north Beach Suburban Focus Area, in that the construction of single-family homes is preferable to the construction of duplex dwelling, which is permitted ERIK HOMES, L.L.C. / 51St STREET JANUARY 14, 2014 CITY COUNCIL HEARING Page 3 by-right without any subdivision of the lot. The North End Civic League supports the request, and a letter to that affect is in the file. The redevelopment as proposed also supports the broader Suburban Area goal of neighborhood preservation, given that the proposed single-family homes would be more in keeping with the character of the neighborhood than would a duplex. The applicant has also revised the proposed footprints and elevations to provide a smaller rear unit with architectural treatment that will help distinguish it from the principal dwelling located nearest to 51S' Street. While the total impervious surface will be increasing by 17 percent, the applicant has agreed to preserve 5 of the existing 12 trees on site. Of the 7 trees that will be removed, 5 trees are of unknown species and are covered in vines, and 2 of the trees are located either in the proposed building footprint or driveway area. The applicant proposes to install over 1,824 square feet of permeable pavers, as well as plant 15 Tuscan cypress trees and pampas grass to assist in the absorption and filtering of stormwater. In sum, staff concludes that the proposed reconstruction and enlargement of a nonconforming use is reasonable, will have a minimal impact, and will be as appropriate to the district as is the existing non- conforming use. The request, therefore, is acceptable with the conditions below. CONDITIONS 1. The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted conceptual site plan entitled "215 51St Street Conceptual Site Plan," dated December 10, 2013, and prepared by Land Planning Solutions.

APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: a?" - Planning epartment City Attorney's Office CA12864 R-1 December 18, 2013 2 r `? ?a7 CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: A Resolution Authorizing the Reconstruction and Enlargement of a Nonconforming Use Located at 316 34th Street and Owned by ERIK HOMES, LLC. BEACH DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: The subject site is zoned A-12 Apartment, is 75 feet by 140 feet (0.241 acre), and is currently occupied by an existing two-story, three-unit multifamily residential structure. The existing structure was built in 1940, when there was no zoning ordinance in Princess Anne County or the Town of Virginia Beach. The maximum allowable residential density for the A-12 District is 12 dwelling units per acre of land. The subject site is 0.241 acre, which would allow for a maximum of two units on the site. Accordingly, the existing use of the site for three dwelling units does not conform to the existing zoning of the site, and the use is nonconforming. Section 105 of the City Zoning Ordinance regulates nonconforming uses and structures. Section 105(b) states that it is the intent of the Zoning Ordinance to allow nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to allow them to become enlarged, expanded, extended, or relocated "except upon a resolution of the City Council authorizing such conversion, based upon its finding that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconforming use." ¦ Considerations: The applicant proposes the demolition of the existing two-story, three-unit structure. The demolition will be followed by the construction of three townhouses fronting on 34th Street, as well as associated two-car garages fronting on 33?a /z Street. The attached staff report provides details pertaining to the differences between the dimensional attributes of the existing and proposed structures as well as the architectural design of the proposed townhouses. The Comprehensive Plan recommendations for this portion of the Suburban Area emphasize the use of "Best Management Practices" for stormwater control, porous materials for driveways and waikways in an effort to achieve a net reduction of impervious coverage, and attractive and high quality materials that ERIK HOMES - 34th STREET Page 2 of 3 are capable of withstanding severe weather events. The proposed use and development of this site meets all of these recommendations with the exception of stormwater management. The proposed development incorporates concrete sidewalks and driveways that account for 12 percent of the total impervious area. Additionally, the applicant has proposed a 5-foot side yard setback as opposed to the 10-foot setback required for townhouses in the A-12 Apartment District. The additional footprint area that encroaches into this setback accounts for 4 percent of the total impervious area. Overall, the proposed development results in an increase in total impervious cover from the current 41 percent to the proposed 56 percent. To address this issue, staff recommends the use of porous materials for the proposed sidewalks and driveways as well as the incorporation of bioretention beds within the side yards (or as determined appropriate by Development Services Center during site plan review). This recommendation will reduce the total impervious cover from the proposed 56 percent to 43 percent, which results in only a 2 percent increase from the existing nonconforming use. ¦ Recommendations: Staff concludes that the proposed reconstruction and enlargement of the existing nonconforming use is reasonable and will be as appropriate to the zoning district as is the existing nonconforming use. Staff, however, is recommending several conditions to minimize the potential stormwater impacts on this site. The request, therefore, is acceptable as submitted, subject to the conditions below. The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted conceptual site plan titled "CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN EXHIBIT," dated August 23, 2013, and prepared by WPL, with the exception that all proposed concrete areas shall be constructed of a permeable paving material. Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. 2. The proposed structures shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the submitted building elevations. Said elevations have been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and are on file in the Planning Department. 3. Landscaping of the site shall be substantially as shown on the submitted conceptual site plan entitled "CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN EXHIBIT," dated August 23, 2013, and prepared by WPL. All landscaping shall be approved by the City Landscape Architect and Development Services Center. 4. Exterior materials shall substantially conform to the submitted document entitled, "STANDARDS Old Beach Cottages at 34th Street," and shall ERIK HOMES - 34th STREET Page 3 of 3 primarily consist of cedar shake siding, stucco skirt, operable exterior shutters, 40-year architectural shingles, and cedar fencing. ¦ Attachments: Staff Review and Disclosure Statement Resolution Location Map Recommended Action: Approval.

The existing structure was built in 1940, when there was no zoning ordinance in Princess Anne County or the Town of Virginia Beach. The subject site is zoned A-12 Apartment District, which allows for 12 units to each acre of land. The subject site is 0.241 acre, which would allow for a maximum of two units on the site. Accordingly, the existing use of the site for three dwelling units does not conform to the existing zoning of the site. As provided for by Section 105 of the City Zoning Ordinance, therefore, the existing use of the site is nonconforming. Section 105(b) notes that it is the intent of the Zoning Ordinance to allow nonconformities to continue until they are removed, but not to allow them to become enlarged, expanded, extended, or relocated "except upon a resolution of the City Council authorizing such conversion, based upon its finding that the proposed use is equally appropriate or more appropriate to the district than is the existing nonconforming use." non-wnromrmg use ERIK HOMES, LLC January 14, 2014 City Council Meeting Page 1 The total width of the front fagade will be 65 feet and will be equally divided into three 21.67-foot wide townhouses. The primary access for each unit will be on the front fagade. Each unit will have an 8-foot deep porch, second-floor balcony, and third-floor balcony. Each unit will also have a two-car garage, which will front on 33rd %2 Street to the south. Each detached garage will be 18.33 feet in width and will be 20 feet in depth. Exterior materials for the townhouses will include fiber-cement siding and treated manufactured wood siding.

The Plan also recommends parcel consolidation and density stabilization for the area. ERIK HOMES, LLC January 14, 2014 City Council Meeting Page 2 The existing structure has the following dimensional attributes: The proposed development will have the following dimensional attributes: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION The applicant's proposal to demolish an existing three-unit multifamily structure and to construct in its place three townhouses is consistent with the land use policies of the Comprehensive Plan for the Suburban Area. The Plan recommends density stabilization; the use of "Best Management Practices" for stormwater control; porous materials for driveways and walkways in an effort to achieve a net reduction of impervious coverage; and attractive and high quality materials which are capable of withstanding severe weather events. The proposed use and development of this site meets all of these recommendations with the exception of stormwater management. The proposed development incorporates concrete sidewalks and driveways that account for 12 percent of the total impervious area. Additionally, the applicant has proposed a 5-foot side yard setback as opposed to the 10-foot setback required for townhouses in the A-12 Apartment District. The additional footprint area that encroaches into this setback accounts for 4 percent of the total impervious area. Overall, the proposed development results in an increase in total impervious cover from the current 41 percent to the proposed 56 percent. To address this issue, staff recommends the use of porous materials for the proposed sidewalks and driveways as well as the incorporation of bioretention beds within the side yards (or as determined appropriate by Development Services Center during site plan review). This recommendation will reduce the total impervious cover from the proposed 56 percent to 43 percent, which results in only a 2 percent increase from the existing nonconforming use.

LYNNHAVEN DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: The applicant is requesting a modification to the Conditional Use Permit approved by the City Council on May 23, 2000, and as modified in 2001 and 2012. The Use Permit was most recently modified on December 4, 2012 for the purpose of revising Condition 1 of the Use Permit, which requires the development of the school and site to be in substantial adherence to the submitted site master plan. The purpose of the modification approved in December 2012 was to (1) add lighting to Field 1 and (2) add bleachers and a decorative entry feature along the western side of the Field 1. Field 1 is located on the west side of the property, adjacent to the Mill Dam Road parking lot. The lighting approved in 2012 consisted of four light poles of 50 feet in height located at the corners of Field 1 and one light pole of 50 feet in height located at the midline on the eastern side of the field. The applicant's current request is to further modify Condition 1 for the purpose of increasing the height of the lighting for the field from the currently approved 50 feet to 70 feet. ¦ Considerations: During the purchase and installation of the lighting approved in December 2012, the contractor recommended to the applicant that, based on the intended use of Field 1, and the availability of a new lighting fixture that would improve lighting spread on the field without increasing light spillover, one of the five lighting poles approved in 2012 could be deleted by increasing the height of the four remaining light poles to 70 feet. Field 1 is the field located closest to Mill Dam Road, is the primary field for athletic events, and includes the recently installed new bleachers. The distance from the closest lighting fixture to the eastern property line of the subject property is 650 feet. As conditioned in 2012, the lighting will not be used on Sundays, none of the athletic events requiring illumination will begin any later than 7:30 PM, and lighting will be extinguished within 30 minutes of the conclusion of the game. Cape Henry Collegiate Page 2 of 3 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 10-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. All conditions with the exception of Number 1 attached to the Conditional Use Permit granted by the City Council on May 23, 2000, and as modified July 10, 2001 and December 4, 2012 remain in effect. 2. Condition Number 1 of the May 23, 2000 Conditional Use Permit is deleted and replaced with the following: a. Existing Field 1 as identified on the submitted "AMENDED MASTER PLAN CAPE HENRY COLLEGIATE SCHOOL", dated October 29, 2013, and prepared by Tymoff+Moss Architects, may be lit for evening athletic events. Said plan has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. b. There shall be no more than 4 light poles as depicted on the plan. The poles shall not exceed 70 feet in height. If determined by the Zoning Administrator to be necessary, the lights mounted on all the poles on the eastern side of the field shall be shielded so as not to allow glare to spill over to the residential homes located along the eastern property line. c. A new Lighting Plan and/or Photometric Diagram Plan shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review prior to installation of any lighting for the fields. Said plan shall include the location of all pole mounted and the listing of lamp type, wattage, and type of fixture. Lighting shall overlap and be uniform throughout the field area. All lighting on the site shall be consistent with those standards recommended by the Illumination Engineering Society of North America. d. There shall be no amplified speaker system for the field. e. Athletic events shall start no later than 7:30 p.m. The lights shall be turned off no later than 30 minutes after the completion of the event. The lights shall not be used on Sundays. f. The applicant may install the 7-foor high wall and 16-foot high entry elements, as well as bleachers on the western side of Existing Field 1. The additions shall substantially adhere to the submitted rendering prepared by Tymoff+Moss Architects. Said rendering has been exhibited Cape Henry Collegiate Page 3 of 3 to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning Department. ¦ Attachments: Staff Review and Disclosure Statements Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: OUTDOOR VENTURES - VIRGINIA BEACH, LLC (Applicant) / CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH (Owner). (a) Conditional Use Permit for outdoor recreational and amusement facilities (aerial ropes course), 717 & 801 General Booth Boulevard (GPIN 2416758858; 2416987653; 2416678078). BEACH DISTRICT. (b) Chanae of Zoninq, Conditional I-1 Industrial to P-1 Preservation. Located on the northeast side of South Birdneck Road approximately 800 feet south of Bells Road (GPIN 2416678078). BEACH DISTRICT. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Outdoor Recreation to allow use and development of the site for an outdoor aerial adventure ropes course. In both the P-1 Preservation and I-1 Industrial Zoning Districts, an outdoor recreational use [such as the type proposed] is a conditional use. In conjunction with the aforementioned Conditional Use Permit, the City of Virginia Beach requests a rezoning of parcels currently zoned I-1 Light Industrial to P-1 Preservation. The City-owned property, currently zoned I-1, is accessed from Birdneck Road and wraps around the northern side of Ocean Breeze Waterpark. The I-1 zoning of the property is the result of a rezoning by the previous owner, who proposed development of the site for office-warehouse type uses. The applicant requesting the Conditional Use Permit, Outdoor Ventures Group, LLC, designs, builds and operates Aerial Forest Parks and has been in business since 2008. For the subject site, they have proposed four main components that will be developed in two phases. On October 8, 2013, the City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Agreement between the City and the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Foundation for the purpose of allowing the construction of this aerial adventure course. The course, however, cannot be constructed without approval of this Conditional Use Permit. ¦ Considerations: Phase I consists of The Aerial Forest Park and The Labyrinth. The Aerial Forest Park inctudes 12 aerial routes that begin at a centrally located elevated platForm. Routes will include about 160 elements and obstacles and will be marked Outdoor Ventures - Virginia Beach, LLC Page2of3 according to the level of difficulty (ages 5 and up). The Labyrinth is a separate climbing area that is smaller and much more compact than the Aerial Forest Park, and its use is reserved for children between 5 and 9 years of age. The Labyrinth can accommodate up to 24 guests at one time. With the exception of two to four zip-lines that will traverse over Owls Creek, Phase I construction will take place between Owls Creek and General Booth Boulevard and extend north from the existing Marsh Pavilion, a distance of approximately 1,000 feet. Phase II consists of "The Adrenalin Tower on Thrill Hill" and "The Owls Creek Canopy Path." The Adrenalin Tower will consist of dual racing zip-lines spanning Owls Creek, a Giant Swing, and a 60-foot free fall called the Powerfan. The Powerfan is an engineered machine that allows an individual to jump and land safely from a height of 60 feet, while being safely held by a full-harness. There are no bungee cords or parachute devices used. Safety equipment for the Powerfan typically fits individuals 9 years of age and older. The Giant Swing harnesses together multiple individuals into a large swing device, which is pulled back and up to a height of approximately 40 feet through a winch system. Upon release, participants will experience 2 G's of force as they swing over the landscape. Phase II is located on the west side of Owls Creek. Implementation of Phase II is contingent on a pedestrian bridge being built across Owls Creek. Further details regarding the project, such as the techniques used for construction of facilities through the trees and the measures taken to ensure the safety of the participants, are provided in the attached staff report. In 2011, City Council adopted the Virginia Aquarium and Owls Creek Area Master Plan, which by reference, is part of the Comprehensive Plan. As specific recommendations for this area include an array of outdoor recreational, educational, and sustainable uses, the request to rezone the northwestern portion of the subject site to P-1 Preservation is consistent with the vision for this area as provided by the Master Plan. 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 9-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. Development of the subject site shall substantially conform to the submitted conceptual site plan titled, "The Adventure Park at the Virginia Aquarium," dated October 1, 2013. Outdoor Ventures - Virginia Beach, LLC Page 3 of 3 2. The applicant shall submit all necessary plans and obtain all necessary permits and inspections from the Planning Department / Permit and Inspections Division, Health Department, and Fire Department. 3. Approval for the use of any and all shared services or amenities, including but not limited to parking, restrooms, and/or vehicular access, from facilities located on adjacent parcels shall be demonstrated by written agreements. Said written agreements shall be signed by the adjacent property owner(s) and the applicant, and shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator prior to operation. 4. Any portable bathroom facilities shall be screened by a rigid wooden structure or landscaping. Said portable bathrooms shall not be visible from the public right-of-way. 5. Hours of operation shall coincide with the hours of operation of the existing uses at the Marsh Pavilion and Aquarium. 6. There shall be a minimum of one individual that is First Aid and CPR certified at the site during all activities. ¦ Attachments: Staff Review and Disclosure Statements Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Location Map Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

In both the P-1 Preservation and I-1 Industrial Zoning Districts, outdoor recreational use [such as the type proposed] is a conditional use. In conjunction with the aforementioned Conditional Use Permit, the City of Virginia Beach requests a rezoning of parcels currently zoned I-1 Light Industrial to P-1 OUTDOOR VENTURES - VIRGINIA BEACH, L.L.C. Agenda Item 4 Page 1 Preservation. The map at the beginning of this report shows the area proposed for rezoning hatched in blue and the area proposed for the Conditional Use Permit hatched in red. The existing I-1 zoning is the result of a rezoning application by the previous owner, who proposed development of the site for office- warehouse type uses. The subject site consists of two parcels, both of which are owned by the City of Virginia Beach. Currently on the site is the Marsh Pavilion of the Virginia Beach Aquarium. The northwestern parcel fronts on Birdneck Road and is currently zoned Conditional I-1 Industrial and P-1 Preservation. Located at the adjoining lot line of the subject parcels are Owls Creek and tidal wetlands. To the east, a pedestrian path along General Booth Boulevard connects the Marsh Pavilion to the main Aquarium building and the main parking lot. The applicant requesting the Conditional Use Permit, Outdoor Ventures Group, LLC, designs, builds and operates Aerial Forest Parks and has been in business since 2008. For the subject site, they have proposed four main components which are organized into two phases of construction. Phase I consists of The Aerial Forest Park and The Labyrinth. The Aerial Forest Park includes 12 aerial routes that begin at a centrally located elevated platform. Routes will include about 160 elements and obstacles and will be marked according to the level of difficulty (ages 5 and up). Elements, and the course in its entirety, are primarily made of wood, rope, and cables. The Labyrinth is a separate climbing area which is smaller and much more contained than the Aerial Forest Park and is reserved for children between 5 and 9 years old. The Labyrinth can accommodate up to 24 guests at one time. With the exception of two to four zip-lines that will traverse over Owls Creek, Phase I construction will take place between Owls Creek and General Booth Boulevard and extend north from the existing Marsh Pavilion, a distance of approximately 1,000 feet. Phase II consists of "The Adrenalin Tower on Thrill Hill" and "The Owls Creek Canopy Path." The Adrenalin Tower will consist of dual racing zip-lines spanning Owls Creek, a Giant Swing, and a 60-foot free fall called the Powerfan. The Powerfan is an engineered machine that allows you to jump and land safely from 60 feet in the air, while being safely held by a full-harness. There are no bungee cords or parachute devices used. Safety equipment for the PowerFan typically fits individuals 9 years of age and older. The Giant Swing harnesses multiple individuals into a large swing device, which is then pulled back and up to about 40 feet in the air by a winch system. Upon the release participants will experience 2 G's of force as they swing over the landscape. Phase II is located on the west side of Owls Creek. Implementation of Phase II is contingent on a pedestrian bridge being built across Owls Creek, indicated as Item 13 on the submitted conceptual site plan. After parking on site at the existing parking lots, guests will start their adventure by purchasing tickets inside the Marsh Pavilion. Then, at small structures to the immediate north of the Marsh Pavilion, guests will be fitted with harnesses and protective gear. Guests will then proceed to a briefing station to learn how to use the safety gear that will continuously lock onto safety cables along the routes. Once guests demonstrate the ability to use the climbing gear, they will walk to the main tree platform where all climbing begins. The methods used to construct the facilities are extremely sensitive to the existing natural environment. No heavy construction equipment is used; builders use ropes to secure themselves to trees, and materials are hauled up for installation using only ropes and pulleys. The primary materials are pressure- treated wood, rope, and cable. The safety cables and platforms are attached to trees by wrapping cables around wooden blocks that protect each tree's ability to grow. As trees get larger, the cables can easily be loosened. In the end, if the aerial routes and platforms were to be removed, it would be extremely difficult to detect their prior existence. OUTDOOR VENTURES - VIRGINIA BEACH, L.L.C. Agenda Item 4 Page 2 LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EXISTING LAND USE: The site is currently undeveloped The majority of this site is heavily wooded; there is an open sloping lawn area adjacent to the parking lot of the parcel to the south. SURROUNDING LAND North: . Vacant wooded area / R-10 Residential District USE AND ZONING: South: . Waterpark / B-2 Community Business District . A-12 Apartment District East: • General Booth Boulevard • Camp Pendleton / P-1 Preservation District West: . Birdneck Road • Undeveloped land / R-10 Residential District NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is within the Owls Creek watershed. Minor portions of the CULTURAL FEATURES: site have been identified as being located within the 100-year floodplain. Tidal wetlands have also been identified on the site. Any development involving these sensitive areas is subject to review and approval by the Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Virginia Beach Wetlands Board. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Suburban Area The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being located within Suburban Focus Area 4. More specifically, the subject parcels are located within the Entertainment and Education Center Areas of the Virginia Aquarium and Owls Creek Area Master Plan, adopted by reference as part of the Comprehensive Plan on December 6, 2011. For this area, the master plan includes expansion space for existing attractions, creates new indoor and outdoor attractions, and introduces retail, restaurant, and entertainment space to comprise a mixed-use leisure and entertainment destination. Specific recommendations for this area include an outdoor adventure park geared toward the adrenalin seeking visitors with a zip line and high ropes course (p. 3-17).This area has great potential to be a national example of sustainable growth and economic development geared towards environmental preservation. IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Access to this site is from General Booth Boulevard. In the vicinity of this application, General Booth Boulevard is a 4-lane major suburban arterial with a variable (120' to 150') right-of-way width. The City's Master Transportation Plan shows an ultimate 6-lane roadway with a right-of-way width of 165 feet for this portion of General Booth Boulevard. No roadway CIP projects are currently planned for this portion of road. OUTDOOR VENTURES - VIRGINIA BEACH, L.L.C.

The existing 3-inch meter (City ID #73589962) and the existing 5/8-inch fire meter (City ID #95019289) can be used or upgraded to accommodate the proposed development. SEWER: This site is currently connected to City sanitary sewer. Analysis of Pump Station #143 and the sanitary sewer collection system is required to ensure any future flows can be accommodated. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION The applicant, Outdoor Ventures - Virginia Beach, LLC, requests a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Outdoor Recreation to allow use and development of the site for an outdoor aerial adventure ropes course, which will be operated in conjunction with the existing use on the site. The proposed use of an outdoor aerial adventure ropes course is an appropriate and complimentary recreational use at this location. Operation of the proposed use will work in conjunction with the existing use by sharing resources such as staff, bathroom facilities, parking, and other interior and exterior site amenities. Said shared amenities have been addressed in the Condition 2 below. The proposed development of the site has been broken down into two phases. Construction of Phase II, which is on the northwestern parcel, is contingent on the City of Virginia Beach constructing a pedestrian bridge, as shown on the conceptual site plan. This pedestrian bridge will also double as service and emergency access to the northwestern parcel. Currently, there is an existing service path leading from General Booth Boulevard into the Phase I area. While Owls Creek is a sensitive natural environment, the construction techniques outlined by Outdoor Ventures, are extremely minimal and sensitive to the existing natural environment. In 2011, City Council adopted the Virginia Aquarium and Owls Creek Area Master Plan, which by reference, is part of the Comprehensive Plan. As specific recommendations for this area include an array of outdoor recreational, educational, and sustainable uses, the request to rezone the northwestern portion of the subject site to P-1 Preservation is consistent with the vision for this area as provided by the Master Plan. For the reasons summarized above, staff recommends approval of this application with the conditions below. OUTDOOR VENTURES - VIRGINIA BEACH, L.L.C. Agenda Item 4 Page 4 CONDITIONS 1.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDAITEM ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH - An Ordinance to Allow Antique Shops within Buildings Listed on the Virginia Beach Historical Register as a Conditional Use in the AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: The amendments will allow antique shops as a Conditional Use within buildings listed on the Virginia Beach Historical Register in the AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts. Section 111 of the City Zoning Ordinance defines an `antique shop' as follows: A retail store, not exceeding three thousand (3,000) square feet, where manmade articles at least one hundred (100) years old are offered for sale and cover at least fifty (50) percent of the display floor area. ¦ Considerations: The proposed amendment responds to a recent request for such use by owners of a historic home in the southern portion of the City. Museums, art galleries, animal hospitals, borrow pits, child care centers, country inns, indoor recreation facilities and the retail sale of garden supplies are all Conditional Uses in the Agricultural Districts. An antique shop, as defined, will be very similar to an art gallery use and should have less impact than other allowed conditional uses. The amendment has been reviewed by the Agricultural Advisory Committee and recommended for approval. It will provide an additional opportunity in the rural area for buildings listed on the Virginia Beach Historical Register to be preserved. Each proposal can be assessed individually through the conditional use permit process. Staff recommends approval of the amendment. 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 9-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council. ¦ Attachments: Staff Review Ordinance City of Virginia Beach - Antique Shops Page2of2 Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

City Attorney's Office 2 e S`.' nens: Si 4 ? 'i CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH - An Ordinance to Amend Section 111 (`Definitions') of the City Zoning Ordinance Pertaining to the Definition of a Dwelling. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: The proposed amendment will revise the current definition of a dwelling: A room or rooms connected together, constituting an independent housekeeping unit for a family, and containing a single kitchen. This has been the definition of a dwelling unit since the adoption of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance in 1973. At that time, the definition was appropriate and helped prevent single-family dwellings from being converted to illegal duplexes. Currently, since the definition of a dwelling states that a dwelling can have only 'a single kitchen,' and the definition of a`kitchen' states that only one stove is allowed per dwelling unit, dwellings can have only one stove. This definition has proven to be increasingly problematic. First, with regard to preventing illegal dwelling units, the nature of a`kitchen' has evolved during the past 40 years, and there are now 'kitchens' that have no stoves. For example, many today are willing to have a housekeeping unit with just a refrigerator and a microwave oven. Second, some owners of very large homes desire to have a second kitchen in a remote part of the home for convenience. Elaborate outdoor kitchens have also become popular. Virginia Beach has become more diverse and some religions require certain foods to be prepared separate from other foods, which is resulting in requests for two kitchens within one dwelling unit. Also, the increasing trend of working at home has resulted in some specific home occupations that rely on special types of stoves and ovens such as a specialized oven for baking various food items for sale elsewhere, a second stove or oven for use in preparing 'gourmet' meals and a specialized oven for creating various forms of art. Consistent with these trends, staff has received an increasing number of requests for a second stove or oven, but has been forced to deny such requests based on the definition of a dwelling and its corresponding connection to the definition of a kitchen. A recent request by a homeowner in the Centerville District led the District Councilperson to request staff evaluate the existing definition of a dwelling unit. City of Virginia Beach - Definition of a Dwelling Unit Page2of2 ¦ Considerations: Research by staff pertaining to the definition of dwelling units in various zoning ordinances locally and across the nation found that very few include the 'kitchen provision' contained in the City Zoning Ordinance. The vast majority of the definitions mirror the definition of a dwelling unit provided by the International Building Code (IBC): A single unit providing complete, independent living facilities for one or more persons, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation. This definition provides a comprehensive description of the commonly understood characteristics of a dwelling. Staff, therefore, has drafted a definition of a dwelling that is more consistent with the IBC definition. Staff has, however, retained the description of a'single unit' as "a room or rooms connected together" since such a description provides a means of ensuring that one dwelling unit is not divided into two units without the requisite permits in districts where such division is not allowed. Retaining the reference to a"family," helps reinforce that a dwelling unit can only be occupied by a family, as defined by the City Zoning Ordinance. Staff's recommended definition is as follows: A room or rooms connected together, constituting an independent housekeeping unit for a family and including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance updates the definition of a dwelling unit such that it responds to current market trends and lifestyles. The definition will also provide greater consistency throughout the City's development ordinances due to the use of a common definition found in both zoning regulations and building regulations. 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 9-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council. ¦ Attachments: Staff Review Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Ordinance Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT The proposed amendment revises the current definition of a dwelling: A room or rooms connected together, constituting an independent housekeeping unit for a family, and containing a single kitchen.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH - An Ordinance to Amend Section 201 of the City Zoning Ordinance (Yards) to allow existing structures located in a required yard to be raised for flood protection. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: Currently, a property owner with a nonconforming residential structure that is legally located within a side, rear, or front yard and is also within a Special Flood Hazard Area cannot increase the height of the structure. To do so requires approval of a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). ¦ Considerations: This amendment allows nonconforming residential structures which are legally located in side, rear, or front yard setbacks to be raised for flood protection (without requiring a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals), as long as it is in the same structural footprint and is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area. This should make the raising of such structures easier for the owner of the property. The amendment is a result of discussion that occurred during the recent amendments to various development ordinances pertaining to floodplains. 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 9-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council. ¦ Attachments: Staff Review Minutes of Planning Commission Hearing Ordinance Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH - An Ordinance to Amend the Comprehensive Plan by Adopting the Urban Forest Management Plan Providing for Policy Guidance, Goals and Objectives to Protect and Enhance the Urban Forest and Revising the Policy Document. MEETING DATE: January 14, 2014 ¦ Background: This proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan will adopt by reference the Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP), which will result in the UFMP being part of the Comprehensive Plan. ¦ Considerations: In early 2012, the City began an internal and external planning process to develop a plan for managing the city's `urban forest.' Early in the process, representatives from each department that affects the city's urban forest met monthly for six months. During those meetings the state of the city's urban forest, the benefits it provides, interdepartmental coordination, and goals/objectives for this plan were all discussed. External stakeholders were involved through two public meetings, in spring of 2013, one for the northern watersheds and one for the southern watersheds. Feedback was obtained through questionnaires provided at the meeting and posted on the city's Virtual Town Hall. Presentations with requests for feedback were also made to many civic groups, such as the Parks and Recreation Commission, Envision Virginia Beach 2040 Implementation Committee, Virginia Beach Beautification Commission and Clean Waters Task Force. Together, these discussions and feedback form the basis of this plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide analysis, evaluation, and strategies to ensure the numerous benefits of the urban forest are understood and that trees are viewed as an effective way to meet many environmental and social challenges communities face. The Plan provides a broad range of actions that will sustain a healthy and vibrant urban forest in Virginia Beach. This plan looks over a 20-year horizon and recommends specific steps the city can take to protect and enhance the cherished environment that trees help create. The Urban Forest Management Plan includes a goal to increase city- wide canopy from 36% to 45% over the next 20 years. 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 9-0, to recommend approval of this request to the City Council.
