CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM ,
ITEMS: (1) An Ordinance to Amend the Code of the City of Virginia Beach to Create the
Hurd's Cove Neighborhood Dredging Special Service District and to Levy
Additional Taxes on Real Property within the Hurd's Cove Neighborhood
Dredging Special Service District
(2) An Ordinance to Create Capital Project #8-505, "Hurd's Cove Neighborhood
Dredging," and to Transfer Funds to CIP #8-505
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ 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
underlying 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
Hurds Cove Area to meet the 80% threshold. The Hurds Cove Area Dredging Special
Service District ("Service District") will serve 91 properties. The first dredging is planned
in FY 2016-17, with the second and third dredging cycles to occur in FY 2023-24 and
FY 2030-31, respectively.
The City staff has provided the enumerated special service district levy based on the FY
2013-14 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 additional 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. The estimated cost for the initial
dredging of the City spur channel, the neighborhood channel, environmental mitigation,
and contingencies totals $1,408,000. The total cost of the first cycle of dredging will also
include the amounts paid by individual property owners for access basin dredging.
Neighborhood Dredging SSD
Page 2 of 2
The Service District is not anticipated to generate ample funding through the levy to
complete the first neighborhood channel dredging in FY 2016-17; therefore, the City will
provide an estimated $600,000 for surveys, design, environmental mitigation and
contingencies in FY 2014-15 and $364,308 for dredging of the City spur channel and
the neighborhood channel in FY 2016-17. The Service District will repay the City its
share of costs in future years.
Using the FY2013-14 assessed values, the additional levy on the 91 properties is 43.8
cents per $100 of assessed value. This levy will provide the funding for the
neighborhood channel dredging. The effective date of the Special Service District levy
will be July 1, 2015.
A second ordinance is attached. This ordinance establishes Capital Project 8-505,
"Hurds Cove Neighborhood Dredging," to capture the costs associated with the Hurds
Cove Neighborhood Dredging Project. A total of $600,000 is provided to the project in
FY 2014-15 for surveys, design, environmental mitigation, and contingencies. There is
sufficient funding in the Reserve for Contingencies, Neighborhood Dredging, that was
established in FY 2014-15 Operating Budget.
■ Public Information: This item has been advertised for three successive weeks
in the Beacon as is required by Virginia Code § 15.2-2400. Additionally, public
information will be provided through the normal Council agenda process.
■ Recommendations: Approval of the two attached ordinances.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Declaring 18.245 +/- Acres of City Property Located at 130
London Bridge Road to be in Excess of the City's Needs and Authorizing the
City Manager to Convey the Property to the City of Virginia Beach Development
Authority
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background: In 2011, the City of Virginia Beach (the "City") acquired
approximately 18.245 acres of property located at 130 London Bridge Road
(GPIN: 2407-04-8646), formerly known as the London Bridge Commerce Center
(the "Property"). The Property was acquired as part of the APZ-1 Use and
Acquisition Plan (CIP 9-060). At the time of acquisition, the Property was
developed with three commercial buildings housing multiple tenants. The
acquisition allowed the City to remove 22 non -conforming business uses from
APZ-1.
The City desires to prepare the Property for future commercial development
consistent with the APZ-1 zoning restrictions and a Navy restrictive easement
that encumbers the Property. To further that goal, the City is also applying to re-
zone the Property to conditional 1-1.
The City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the "Authority") is the
development arm of the City and has been instrumental in overseeing other
commercial development projects, including several industrial and corporate
parks.
Staff recommends that title to the Property be transferred to the Authority to
better facilitate the marketing and negotiation aspects of potential future
commercial development.
■ Considerations: The Authority would develop, market and ultimately sell the
Property (in one or more transactions) for use consistent with the City's APZ-1
zoning regulations and the Navy's restrictive easement.
■ Revenue restrictions: The City funded the acquisition of the Property through a
partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia. The proceeds from the sale of
the Property, less any Authority costs associated with the development of the
Property and allowable under the grant agreement with the Commonwealth, will
be returned to the City. Thereafter, 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 funds
retained by the City will be available for costs associated with the BRAC program
per the grant agreement.
■ Public Information: A public hearing was advertised in The Virginian -Pilot and
advertisement of the City Council Agenda.
■ Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the transfer of the Property
to the Authority.

Recommended Action: Approval

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Regarding City Investments and Deposits
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background: The City Charter provides that the City Treasurer, as custodian of

■ Considerations: This resolution provides that City Council believes that
taxpayer funds should not be deposited in any financial institution for which a member
of City Council has a personal interest arising from the member's employment, or
employment of an immediate family member, by a financial institution or any entity that
has an affiliated business entity relationship or parent -subsidiary relationship with the
financial institution. It further provides that the City Investment Policy shall be amended
to provide that City investments should not be made with any such financial institution
and that the City Council is of the sense that this resolution is necessary to eliminate
any appearance of conflicts of interests.
■ Public Information: Councilmember Moss presented a preliminary draft of this
resolution to City Council during the informal session of its televised public meeting on
November 25, 2014. If the resolution is adopted, the resolution provides that the City
Manager shall post a copy upon the front page of the City webpage and distribute
copies by a formal press release to all print and digital media outlets in Hampton Roads.

properties necessary for the Project, except one. This property affects both the Indian
Creek Road and the Crags Causeway projects sites. There are no total acquisitions
necessary. Authority is requested to acquire the necessary property and easements
(temporary and permanent) by agreement or condemnation.

AGENDA ITEM

ITEM: An Ordinance to authorize Temporary Encroachments into a portion of City
Property known as the Pinetree Branch of the Lynnhaven River located at the
rear and a portion of the side of the property known as 2804 West Point Court for
Jennifer M. Reed and Christopher S. 011ice.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
Jennifer M. Reed and Christopher S. 011ice (the "Applicants") have requested
permission to maintain an existing fence, pier and modular jetski float;
reconstruct and maintain an existing bulkhead (486 LF); and construct and
maintain a proposed boatlift and pier, upon the. City's property known as the
Pinetree Branch of the Lynnhaven River located at the rear and side of 2804
West Point Court. During review of this encroachment application, a shed was
identified in the side -yard setback. The shed was reported to zoning. It does not
appear that any permits were granted when the shed was installed by the prior
owners. The shed was installed between 2008 and 2010.
There are similar encroachments along the Pinetree Branch of the Lynnhaven
River, which is where the Applicants have requested to encroach.
■ Considerations:
City Staff has reviewed the requested encroachments and has recommended
approval of same, subject to certain conditions outlined in the Agreement. In
regard to the shed discussed above, the Agreement provides that the permission
granted herein does not extend to any accessory structures shown on the
Agreement's exhibit. Also, the Agreement provides that the owners would need
to procure any other permits required by law.
In accordance with the recommendations of City Council to help address water
quality protection in conjunction with Temporary Encroachments onto City
property, the requested encroachments have been reviewed by the Department
of Planning/Environmental Management Center. Staff is of the professional
opinion that the establishment of a 15 -foot wide vegetated riparian buffer area
consisting of under story trees and shrubs in a mulched bed running the entirety
of the shoreline adjoining the Applicants' property is feasible and warranted to
help reduce long term water quality impacts associated with the existing and
proposed encroachments.
The Applicants have submitted a plan for establishing a variable width (7,350
square foot) vegetated riparian buffer that has been reviewed and approved by
the Department of Planning/Environmental Management Center.
■ Public Information:
Advertisement of City Council Agenda
■ Alternatives:
Approve the encroachment as presented, deny the encroachment, or add
conditions as desired by Council.
■ Recommendations:
Approve the request subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
■ Attachments:
Ordinance, Agreement, Plat, Pictures and Location Map
Recommended Action: Approval of the ordinance.

Variance to the Subdivision Reaulations, Section 4.4(b); (B) Variance to
the Floodplain Ordinance, Sections 4.10(8) and 5.1(B); and (C) Conditional
Use Permit for a Farm Stand. 1076 Sandbridge Road (GPIN 2423267173).
COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
The applicant has submitted three requests that are necessary to allow the
applicant to expand an existing 2,250 square foot farm stand:
• Conditional Use Permit (Agricultural product sales, and sales of
agricultural -related products at buildings or structures larger than 3,500
square feet in area). This application was heard by the Planning
Commission on November 12, 2014. On December 2, 2014, the City
Council deferred the application to the January 20, 2015 meeting, as the
Planning Commission had not yet considered the applications below.
• Variance to the Subdivision Regulations
• Variance to the Floodplain Ordinance
■ Considerations:
The applicant currently operates a 2,250 square foot farm stand, located on a
38.27 -acre parcel. The applicant proposes to enlarge the existing farm stand to
5,400 square feet. Since the farm stand will exceed 3,500 square feet, a
Conditional Use Permit is required and the expansion is subject to the
requirements of Section 401(d) of the Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant is currently not the owner of the property, but is proposing a
subdivision of the 38.27 -acre parcel to create a 4.96 -acre lot that the applicant
will own. The farm stand will be located on the lot, as well as growing fields for
soy, herbs, and cut -flowers. The subdivision of the property, however, requires
approval of a Subdivision Variance, as the entire site is located in the VE flood
zone, which is a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). The SFHAs located in
Southern Rivers Watershed are designated as `Floodplains subject to special
restrictions.' Section 200(c) of the Zoning Ordinance prohibits use of such
floodplain area for the purpose of "determining minimum lot area requirements."
As a result, neither the proposed 4.96 -acre lot nor the remainder of the existing
parcel (residual lot) will have the required lot area or lot width. Accordingly, a
STEVE BARNES
Page 2 of 3
variance to Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations is requested, as that
section requires that lots created by subdivision must meet all requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance.
The scope of work includes expanding the existing roof structure 15 feet to the
sides and rear, and adding a concrete slab under the covered area to create an
open air area to display merchandise. The addition will be constructed to match
the design of the existing structure. Since the site is located entirely within the
Special Flood Hazard Area, a variance to the Floodplain Ordinance is required,
as the concrete slab is considered fill within a floodplain.
Further details pertaining to the proposal, as well as Staff's evaluation of the
requests, are provided in the attached staff report.
There was no opposition to the requests.
■ Recommendations:
As noted above, there are three requests necessary for the applicant's proposal
to proceed. The Conditional Use Permit was heard by the Planning Commission
on November 12, 2015, and the commission placed the item on its Consent
Agenda, voting 11-0 to recommend approval of the Use Permit to the City
Council as with the following conditions:
1. With the exception of any modifications required by any of these
conditions or as a result of development site plan review, the addition shall
be developed substantially in conformance with the submitted site drawing
entitled, "STEVE BARNES- FARM STAND EXPANSION, 1076
SANDBRIDGE ROAD."
2. With the exception of any modifications required as a result of the review
process for recording the final plat, the property shall be subdivided
substantially in accordance with the submitted exhibit entitled
"PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PROPERTY OF MARTHA SUE RIGGS,"
dated September 30, 2014 and prepared by Bonifant Land Surveyors, Inc.
3. The farm stand shall not be open for business except between the hours
of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
On January 14, 2015, the requests for variances to the Subdivision Regulations
and the Floodplain Ordinance were heard by the Planning Commission. The
Planning Commission placed those items on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of the requests to the
City Council with the following conditions:
The subject site shall be subdivided substantially in accordance with the
submitted exhibit entitled "PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PROPERTY OF
STEVE BARNES
Page 3of3
MARTHA SUE RIGGS", dated September 30, 2014 and prepared by
Bonifant Land Surveyors, Inc.
2. The proposed "LOT B" shall be limited to agricultural uses, including the
farm stand. "LOT B" shall not be a residential building site.

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Backaround / Details:
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a farm stand to exceed 3,500 square feet.
The existing 2,250 square foot farm stand is located on an approximately 38 acre parcel. It is the intent of
the applicant to subdivide the parcel and create a 4.96 acre lot that will contain the farm stand, as well as
growing fields for soy, herbs and cut -flowers.
The applicant wishes to enlarge the existing farm stand to 5,400 square feet. The addition will increase
the footprint of the farm stand by 15 feet on both sides and the rear of the structure. Parking is
accommodated in a gravel area to the front of the farm stand. The two ingress/egress access points from
Sandbridge Road will remain. The farm stand is open from late April until mid-September and has hours
of operation of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The farm stand sells locally produced poultry, meats, eggs, flowers
and a variety of other locally grown and manufactured products. The owner of the farm stand has a Farm
Service Agency (FSA) number from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and operates a
farm in the City.

East: . Single-family home / AG -2 Agriculture District

NATURAL RESOURCE AND A majority of the site is undeveloped land used to farm flowers,
CULTURAL FEATURES: soy beans and herbs. A portion of the site is developed with a
farm stand and gravel parking area. The site is located in the
Southern Watershed. There do not appear to be any significant
natural resources or cultural features associated with the site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being within the Suburban
Area. The general planning principles for the Suburban Area focus on preserving and protecting the
overall character, economic value, and aesthetic quality of stable neighborhoods. Achieving the goals of
preserving neighborhood quality requires that all new development or redevelopment, whether
residential or non-residential, either maintain or enhance the overall area. This is accomplished through
compatibility with surroundings, attractiveness of site and buildings, environmental responsibility,
livability, and effective buffering of residential from other residential and non-residential with respect to
type, size, intensity, and relationship to the surrounding uses. (pp. 3-1 to 3-3)
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP):
Sandbridge Road is a two-lane minor rural arterial in the vicinity of this site. This section of Sandbridge
Road has a variable right-of-way width and it is included on the Master Transportation Plan as an
ultimate 100 foot right-of-way rural two lane section. There is currently no capital improvement project
scheduled for this segment of Sandbridge Road.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to enlarge an existing farm stand. No changes are
proposed to the operation of the farm stand. The addition will be constructed to match the design of the
existing structure. The site also contains growing fields that will be cultivated and the products sold at the
farm stand. The proposed expansion is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use policies for
the Suburban Area, as well as being consistent with the character of the surrounding area. Additionally,
this proposal meets the requirements of Section 401 (d) of the Zoning Ordinance for a farm stand.
For the reasons stated above, staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
CONDITIONS
1. With the exception of any modifications required by any of these conditions or as a result of

APPLICANT:
STEVE BARNES
PROPERTY OWNER:
MARY SUE AND
JAMES S. RIGGS
STAFF PLANNER: Kevin Kemp
REQUEST:
Subdivision Variance to Section 4.4 (b) of the Subdivision Ordinance, which requires that lots meet all the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Floodplain Variance to Section 4.10 of the Floodplain Ordinance relating to fill within the Floodplain
Subject to Special Restrictions.
ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: Property located on the north side of Sandbridge Road, at 1076 Sandbridge
Road.
GPIN: ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE: AICUZ:
24232671730000 PRINCESS ANNE 38.27 acres (4.95 Less than 65 dB DNL
acres- proposed
parcel)
BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Subdivision Variance
Existing Lot: The existing 38.27 acre lot is zoned AG -1 and AG -2 Agriculture Districts. While there is an
existing single-family dwelling and farm stand on the property, the majority of the property is undeveloped
land with areas under cultivation.
Proposed Lots: It is the intent of the applicant to create a 4.95 acre parcel so that the existing farm stand
will be located on its own parcel. The remaining lot will be approximately 33 acres. The entire site is
located in the Special Flood Hazard Area (VE flood zone). Section 200 (c) of the Zoning Ordinance states
that "Floodplains subject to special restrictions pursuant to section 4.10 of the Floodplain Ordinance
(Appendix K) shall not be included in determining minimum lot area requirements." As a result, neither the
STEVE BARNES
Agenda Item 13

proposed lot nor the residual lot will have the required lot area or lot width, thus a Subdivision Variance is
requested.

Variance required. Section 200 (c) states that any area located in a Floodplain Subject to Special
Restrictions pursuant to section 4.10 of the Floodplain Ordinance (Appendix K) shall not be included in
determining minimum lot area requirements. Lots A and Lot B are entirely located within a Special
Flood Hazard Area.
Floodplain Variance
Background/ Details:
A Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of the existing farm stand was recommended for approval by
the Planning Commission on November 12, 2014. The Use Permit application is awaiting approval of this
request before it is placed on a City Council meeting agenda. The Use Permit is requested so that the
applicant can construct an expansion to the existing farm stand. The scope of work includes expanding
the existing roof structure 15 feet to the sides and rear, and adding a concrete slab under the covered
area to create an open air area to display merchandise. A Floodplain Variance is required to construct the
concrete slab (fill) as the site is located entirely within the Special Flood Hazard Area.
STEVE BARNES
Agenda Item 13
Page 2
Section 4. 10 of the Floodplain Ordinance states:
B. The following provisions shall apply within the floodplain subject to special restrictions:
1. Notwithstanding any provision of this ordinance to the contrary, no filling shall be
permitted, including filling with material excavated from the same floodplain
except for.
a. The purpose of public roadway or other similar public works construction;
b. The maintenance, alteration, or relocation of bona fide agricultural
ditches, swales, or agricultural pathways or those ditches required for
proper lot drainage;
C. For shoreline stabilization or maintenance projects, such as riprap
revetment, bulkheads, or other treatment used to stabilize and protect
the banks of waterways, the city manager or his designee may approve
the placement of fill provided the following criteria are met.-
i.
et.i. A joint permit application is submitted,
ii. The alignment of the stabilization structure is along the
escarpment or in line with adjacent stabilization structures; and
iii. Fill must be the minimum necessary to support the stabilization
project.
Because the entire parcel is located within the VE flood zone there is no opportunity to mitigate. The total
amount of fill (concrete slab) being added to the site is approximately 2,250 square feet to a depth of 4
inches. Thus, the impacted area is approximately one percent of the 215,551 square foot proposed lot, all
of which is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area.
LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EXISTING LAND USE: Single-family home, farm stand and growing fields
SURROUNDING LAND North: . Growing fields / AG -1 Agriculture District
USE AND ZONING: South: . Sandbridge Road
• Single-family home & growing field / AG -2 Agriculture
District
East: . Single-family home / AG -2 Agriculture District
West: . Single-family home / AG -2 Agriculture District
NATURAL RESOURCE AND A majority of the site is undeveloped land, some of which is used to
CULTURAL FEATURES: farm flowers, soy beans, and herbs. A portion of the site is
developed with a single-family home, and a portion with a farm
stand and gravel parking area. The site is located in the Southern
Rivers Watershed. Hells Point Creek runs adjacent to the eastern
property line. The entire site is located in the Special Flood Hazard
Area (Zone VE).
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as being within the Suburban
Area. The general planning principles for the Suburban Area focus on preserving and protecting the
overall character, economic value, and aesthetic quality of stable neighborhoods. Achieving the goals of
STEVE BARNES
Agenda Item 13
Page 3
preserving neighborhood quality requires that all new development or redevelopment, whether residential
or non-residential, either maintain or enhance the overall area. This is accomplished through compatibility
with surroundings, attractiveness of site and buildings, environmental responsibility, livability, and
effective buffering of residential from other residential and non-residential with respect to type, size,
intensity, and relationship to the surrounding uses. (pp. 3-1 to 3-3)

Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Ordinance states:
"No variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property,
and the character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected.
C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably
practicable the formulation of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the
ordinance.
D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions
and topography, or by other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by
the use or development of property immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-
inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the issuance of a variance.
E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is
located at the time the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated by reference in this ordinance."
STEVE BARNES
Agenda Item 13
Page 4
The adoption of the new Floodplain Ordinance in November 2013 expanded upon the criteria for a
variance that were previously located in the Site Plan Ordinance. The review of a request for a variance
under the present Floodplain Ordinance is provided by Section 6.2 as well as Section 6.4.
Section 6.2
A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this ordinance, the City Council shall have the authority to
grant such variances from the terms of this ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest
in cases in which the strict application of the provisions of this ordinance would effectively prohibit
or unreasonably restrict the use of the subject property. No variance shall be granted for any
proposed use, development, or activity within any Floodway District that will cause any increase
of the base flood elevation.
B. In acting upon applications for variances, the City Council shall satisfy all relevant factors and
procedures specified in other sections of this ordinance and shall consider the following additional
factors:
1. The danger to life and property due to increased flood heights or velocities caused by
encroachments.
2. The danger that materials may be swept on to other lands or transported in floods posing the
risk of injury to others.
3. The proposed water supply and sanitation systems and the ability of these systems to
prevent disease, contamination, and unsanitary conditions.
4. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of
such damage on the individual owners.
5. The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community.
6. The requirements of the facility for a waterfront location.
7. The availability of alternative locations not subject to flooding for the proposed use.
8. The compatibility of the proposed use with existing development and development
anticipated in the foreseeable future.
9. The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management
program for the area.
10. The safety of access by ordinary and emergency vehicles to the property in time of flood.
11. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood
waters expected at the site.
12. The historic nature of a structure. Variances for repair or rehabilitation of historic structures
may be granted upon a determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not
preclude the structure's continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is the
minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
13. Such other factors that are relevant to the purposes of this ordinance.
Section 6.4
No variance shall be granted unless the following requirements are met:
A. Such variance will not create or result in:
STEVE BARNES
Agenda Item 13
Page 5
Unacceptable or prohibited increases in flood heights;
2. Additional threats to public safety;
3. Extraordinary public expense;
4. Nuisances; or
5. Fraud or victimization of the public.
B. The granting of such variance will not be detrimental to other property in the vicinity.
C. The circumstances giving rise to the variance application are not of a general or recurring
nature.
D. Such circumstances arise from the physical character of the property or from the use or
development of adjacent property and not from the personal situation of the applicant.
E. The granting of such variance will not be in conflict with any city ordinance or regulation.
F. Variances shall be the minimum necessary to provide relief.
G. All variances shall meet all of the requirements for the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area
Ordinance (Appendix F) and the Southern Rivers Watershed Management Ordinance
(Appendix G), unless a variance therefrom is granted.
In sum, in its review of the requested variance, City Council is required to consider the factors listed in
Section 6.2 (as well as any other factor or procedure that is elsewhere in the ordinance and may be found
to have relevance). The consideration of these factors provides the City Council with a first -level
evaluation with regard to the need for the variance, the potential impacts resulting from granting the
variance, and the effect of the variance, if granted, on the overall floodplain system in the proximity. This
first -level evaluation leads to a more informed second -level of evaluation, which is the determination of
whether a variance should be granted. That determination is based on City Council's finding based on the
variance standards in Section 6.4. While the majority of Section 6.4 lists the common standards to be
used in determining whether a variance should be granted, the standards listed in Section 6.4(A) are
greatly informed by City Council's consideration of the factors in Section 6.2. Thus, when considered
together, Sections 6.2 and 6.4 are the basis upon which the City Council is to make its determination of
whether a variance is warranted.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The subject site is located entirely within a Special Flood Hazard Area. If the proposed lots were not
located within a flood zone, both lots would exceed the dimensional requirements for the AG -2 District.
The farm stand that exists on the proposed 4.95 -acre lot has been at that location for many years. The
amount of concrete (fill) being added to accommodate the expansion is minimal, and staff feels that this
circumstance is unique to this site and not reoccurring in nature.
The Floodplain Variance request, in Staffs opinion, sufficiently addresses the standards set forth for the
granting of a variance to disturb the Special Flood Hazard Area. The physical characteristics of the
property require filling and disturbance in the floodplain, as the entire site is impacted by the floodplain.
Disturbance in the floodplain is minimal, as only approximately one percent of the entire Special Flood
Hazard Area on the site will be impacted by the proposal. Based on this, Staff recommends approval of
the Floodplain Variance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: DOMINION VIRGINIA POWER (Applicant/Owner), Conditional Use Permit
(Addition to a Public Utility Transformer), 2056 Recreation Avenue (GPIN
1484890177). COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for an expansion of a Public
Utility Electric Transformer Station. Six acres of the 17 -acre site is currently
developed with an electric transmission substation. A Use Permit for the existing
substation was approved by City Council in 1987.
■ Considerations:
The submitted site plan shows a proposed 1.26 -acre expansion to the west of the
existing substation. The purpose of the expansion is to install equipment that
stabilizes voltage, particularly in reaction to transient events such as lighting
strikes and short circuits.
The expansion includes a 2,736 square foot building, a propane tank enclosure,
and an on-site generator. The existing fence will be extended around the
addition. New landscape planting will be installed between the addition and
Recreation Drive. Access to the site will remain at its current location on
Recreation Drive.
Further details pertaining to the site and building designs, as well as Staffs
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 10-0, to recommend approval of this request to the
City Council with the following conditions:
1. With the exception of any modifications required by any of these
conditions or during the formal site plan review process, the site shall be
developed, landscaped, and maintained substantially in conformance with
the submitted site plan entitled "CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (SHEET 2)

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Backnround
The applicant purchased the subject 17.29 -acre parcel in 1973. The site is currently developed with an
electrical substation encompassing approximately 6 acres of the parcel. A Use Permit for the existing
substation was approved by City Council in 1987.
New regulations imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) make most existing coal-fired
power stations no longer cost-effective to operate. As a result, in 2016, multiple generator units at the
Yorktown and Chesapeake Center Power Stations will be retired. This will negatively impact the
transmission system in Virginia Beach. In order to maintain voltage quality and stability, mitigation devices
need to be added to the transmission grid. As such, the applicant proposes to add a 'Static Synchronous
Compensator (STATCOM)' to the existing substation. A STATCOM is a device based on a 'Voltage
Source Converter (VSC)' that is used to provide voltage stability, which is particularly important when
reacting to transient events such as lighting strikes and short circuits.

Details
The submitted site plan shows a proposed 1.26 -acre expansion to the west of the existing substation. The
expansion includes a 2,736 square foot STATCOM building, 114 feet in length, 24 feet in width and 17
feet in height. A propane tank enclosure is also proposed to the south of the expansion. The propane will
fuel the on-site generator. Access to the site will remain at its current location on Recreation Drive.
The perimeter fence around the existing substation will be extended around the proposed addition. The
new fence will be eight (8) feet in height with one (1) foot of barbed-wire on top. The westernmost fence
of the existing substation will be removed, as it will no longer be part of the perimeter fence. The
submitted site plan shows a combination of plant materials that will be installed along Recreation Drive to
provide screening from the right-of-way. All mature vegetation on the site will remain. The ground cover of
a majority of the substation expansion will consist of pervious rocks, with a minimum depth of four (4)
inches. A crushed gravel road will extend around the perimeter of the entire substation, including the
proposed expansion.
LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EXISTING LAND USE: Public Utility Transformer Station

• Future YMCA and Pool facility / Conditional B-2
Community Business District
NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site contains a Public Utility Transformer Station and a large
CULTURAL FEATURES: undeveloped grassy and wooded area. The site is located in the
Southern Watershed. There do not appear to be any significant
cultural features associated with the site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan identifies this parcel as being within the Princess
Anne Special Economic Growth Area (SEGA 4). The controlling master plan for Princess Anne SEGA 4
is the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA) and Vicinity Master Plan. The general vision for this area is to create
campuses for work, education, research, recreation, and worship. At build out, this area will have
evolved into a continuous open space experience tied together by trails and waterways, and landscaped
as a continuous garden within which activities are accommodated (p. 21, ITA & Vicinity Master Plan).
More specifically, this site is within the Athletic Village of North Princess Anne Commons. North Princess
Anne Commons is primarily located southwest of the intersection of Rosemont Road and Dam Neck
Road, east of the single-family residential development of Salem Lakes, north of Landstown Road, and
encompasses the Virginia Beach National Golf Course. As a prominent 'place maker' in the city, this
area not only serves as a principal gateway to the Virginia Beach Municipal Center and court complex, it
has become a premier destination, as it includes the Virginia Beach Amphitheater, Sportsplex, aril

Agenda Ian 1

National Field Hockey Training Center, and offers the public a wide range of special events and
services. This destination will continue to offer citizens and visitors experiences that will enrich their lives
and reaffirm that Virginia Beach is a community for a lifetime, (pp. 4-1 to 4-10).
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
City services are not affected by this request.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request to expand the existing (Landstown) electric transformer
substation. In 2016, multiple coal-fired generator units in this region of the state will be retired. The
proposed expansion of this substation will help maintain voltage quality and stability that will better
accommodate the growing demand for electricity as the surrounding area continues to develop. The
proposed expansion will also increase the transmission system's ability to regulate voltages and respond
to transient events such as lightning strikes and short circuits.
Mature vegetation on the site provides adequate screening of the substation from the adjacent properties
to the north, south, and east. Additionally, the applicant will install trees to provide screening along
Recreation Drive. The proposed expansion will be a low -impact development in terms of visual, noise,
and traffic impacts to the surrounding area. The most visible element of the proposed expansion is the
STATCOM building, which is 17 feet tall, but shorter than the existing equipment on site. The proposed
expansion meets all the dimensional requirements of Section 402 of the Zoning Ordinance (Agricultural
District) and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use policies for the Princess Anne Special
Economic Growth Area, as it is part of the overall infrastructure that supports the uses in this area.
Based on the considerations above, staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
CONDITIONS
1. With the exception of any modifications required by any of these conditions or during the formal
site plan review process, the site shall be developed, landscaped, and maintained substantially

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: KENNETH LEACH (Applicant) / TIMOTHY WHITE (Owner), Conditional Use
Permit (Open Air Market), 2545 Sandpiper Road (GPIN 2434104628).
COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for an 'open air market.'
Approval of the Use Permit will allow the applicant to sell food from a non-
permanent structure.
■ Considerations:
The applicant operated on this site under a Peddler's License during the summer
of 2014 under a 'stationary peddler license.' Such licenses have time limits;
therefore, the Use Permit is now required.
Food is sold from a specially designed concession trailer during the months of
April through September. Off-season, the trailer is stored indoors at a self -
storage facility. The trailer is located in the northwest corner of the site, which is
approximately 80 feet from the public right-of-way. The applicant has an
agreement with the property owner allowing his employees to use restroom
facilities inside the existing on-site building.
Further details pertaining to the proposal, 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 10-0, to recommend approval of this request to the
City Council with the following conditions:
1. There shall be no more than one food service trailer on the site at any one
time.
2. Approval from the Health Department is required prior to operation.

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Backaround
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of food for sale out of a
nonpermanent structure.
Details
The applicant operated on this site under a Peddler's License during the summer of 2014. Since a
'stationary peddler license' has a time limit, the Zoning Administrator determined that a Conditional Use
Permit is now required. According to the application, the applicant offers food for sale out of a specially
designed concession trailer during the months of April through September. Off-season, the trailer is
stored indoors at a self -storage facility. With up to six employees, the business typically operates from
11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The applicant has an agreement with the property owner for his employees to use restroom facilities
inside the existing on-site building. The trash dumpster and waste removal cost are shared by all tenants
on the property, including the applicant, via a private company.

LAND USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EXISTING LAND USE: Retail shops and parking lot
SURROUNDING LAND North: . Retail / B-4 Business District
USE AND ZONING: South: . Single-family dwellings / R-10 Residential District
East: • Sandpiper Road
• Single-family dwellings / R-10 Residential District
West: . Back Bay
NATURAL RESOURCE AND This site is located in the Southern Watershed and is immediately
CULTURAL FEATURES: adjacent to Back Bay. As the site is already developed with a
building and a parking lot, there do not appear to be any significant
environmental or cultural features on the site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within
Suburban Focus Area 6 — Sandbridge Community. This area is a stable, low-density, single-family
community with about 1,200 dwelling units.
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
No anticipated impact on City services.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
As previously stated, the existing 2014 Peddler's License for the applicant to operate as a stationary
peddler has expired. Staff is not opposed to the request to operate on site. This type of business often
offers affordable, trendy food with low start-up costs for the owner. Off-season, when retail and tourist
activity in Sandbridge is minimal, the trailer is stored indoors at a self -storage facility. The applicant has
met with the Health Department and ultimately, a connection to City water services may be required. A
condition is recommended below that requires approval from the Health Department prior to operation.
Also, the applicant has met with the Sandbridge Civic League and no opposition was raised.
Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
KE
CONDITIONS
1. There shall be no more than one food service trailer on the site at any one time.
2. Approval from the Health Department is required prior to operation.

Development Services Center and Department of Planning /Permits and Inspections Division,
and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any uses allowed by this Use
Permit are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the
Police Department for crime prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they pertain to this site.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: OBEDIENT PAWS, LLC (Applicant) / ADAM & DIANE BLACKISTON
(Owners), Conditional Use Permit (Home Occupation), 5013 Madeira Road
(GPIN 1469919744). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Home Occupation to
allow for dog training and boarding on the site. The applicant operates a licensed
dog training business, Obedient Paws LLC, from his home. Zoning Enforcement
received a complaint regarding the business, and the applicant was informed that
the use requires a home occupation permit. Subsequently, the applicant applied
for the required Use Permit and submitted with the application letters of support
from eight property owners in the immediate vicinity, including all of the adjacent
property owners.
■ Considerations:
The applicant conducts training in the side yard of the property. Training consists
of a one -to -four week-long "boot camp," during which dogs are housed in cages
in the applicant's garage. The applicant is a member of the Association of
Professional Dog Trainers, a national organization of training professionals.
Residents in the R-40 district, as well as any other Residential zoning district, are
permitted to have four of their own pet dogs at their residence by -right. Any
number of pet dogs over four requires a Conditional Use Permit for a residential
kennel. Given this, Staff finds that the full exercise of this by -right allowance of
four pet dogs yields a reasonably comparable impact to the requested allowance
of four dogs for this home occupation.
Further details pertaining to the proposal, 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 10-0, to recommend approval of this request to the
City Council with the following conditions:
OBEDIENT PAWS
Page 2 of 2
1. Unless otherwise limited by Animal Control, the maximum number of dogs
on the site over six (6) months of age shall be four (4).
2. The dogs shall only be trained within fenced areas of the yard.
3. All dogs shall be housed within the home and garage.
4. The existing rear yard fencing shall be maintained in good condition for
perimeter control.
5. All dogs, when outside the residence and garage, shall be supervised at
all times.
6. All animal waste shall be collected and disposed of in a lawful manner on
a daily basis.

Conditional Use Permit (Home Occupation)

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Background
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for a home occupation to allow for dog training and
boarding on the site. The applicant runs a licensed dog training business, Obedient Paws LLC, from his
single-family residence in the Lakeview Park subdivision. Obedience training is conducted in the side
yard of the residence through a one -to -four week-long "boot camp", during which dogs are housed in
cages in the applicant's garage. The applicant is a member of the Association of Professional Dog
Trainers, a national organization of training professionals. Zoning Enforcement received a complaint
regarding the business, and the applicant was informed that the use requires a home occupation permit.
The City Zoning Ordinance allows accessory uses in the R-40 Residential Business District when there is
no "audible evidence detectable from outside the building lot", and "where such activity is conducted only
in the principal structure on the lot". As such, an outdoor dog training business cannot be considered
accessory, and thus a home occupation conditional use permit is required.

CULTURAL FEATURES: are no known cultural features on the property.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as Suburban
Area. The general planning principles for the Suburban Area focus on preserving and protecting the
overall character, economic value, and aesthetic quality of stable neighborhoods. Three key planning
principles have been established in the Comprehensive Plan to promote this stability: preserve
neighborhood quality, create and protect open spaces, and connect suburban mobility. To preserve
neighborhood quality the Plan promotes compatible land use, safe streets, careful mix of land uses,
neighborhood commercial use, compatible infill development and conditions on places of special care
and home occupations. Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities, such as home
occupations, either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with
surroundings, quality and attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental
responsibility, livability, and effective buffering with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to the
surrounding uses. (pp. 3-1, 3-2.)
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
WATER AND SEWER: This site currently connects to City water. The existing 5/8" water meter (City ID
#95070107) may be used or upgraded to accommodate the proposed development. The site currently
connects to City sewer via pump station 318.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The applicant has indicated that the dog training business has all of the preceding characteristics. Only a
portion of the property (garage, side yard, and rear yard) is used for dog training and boarding, and the
property remains predominantly residential in character. The applicant has not modified the outside
appearance of the property to accommodate the training, and no signage exists or is proposed with this
application. The existing six-foot high rear yard fence is in good condition, and the premises are clean
and well -kept. The applicant has indicated that he lives at the location, and that he is the sole prpp4etor

of Obedient Paws, LLC. Given the nature of the training service, there are no product or merchandise
sales to the general public from the home. Also, as indicated earlier, the service does not qualify as an
accessory use due to the outdoor nature of the training.
The current training in the unfenced side yard is too visible to qualify as a home occupation, and staff has
recommended a condition requiring that all dog training activities be located within the fenced area of the
yard. This condition would also reduce the audibility of the dog barking that can reasonably be expected
with such a use.
Residents in the R-40 district, as well as any other Residential zoning district, are permitted to have four
of their own pet dogs at their residence by -right. Any number of pet dogs over four requires a Conditional
Use Permit for a residential kennel. Given this, Staff finds that the full exercise of this by -right allowance
of four pet dogs yields a reasonably comparable impact to the requested allowance of four dogs for this
home occupation.
The Planning Department has received letters in support of the home occupation from eight neighboring
properties, including all of the adjacent properties. Given the low intensity of the use, and the fact that
four pet dogs are allowed by -right in the R-40 Zoning District, Staff finds that the requested Conditional
Use Permit for a home occupation is reasonable and will have minimal or no impact on the neighboring
properties. Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
CONDITIONS
1. Unless otherwise limited by Animal Control, the maximum number of dogs on the site over six
(6) months of age shall be four (4).
2. The dogs shall only be trained within fenced areas of the yard.
3. All dogs shall be housed within the home and garage.
4. The existing rear yard fencing shall be maintained in good condition for perimeter control.
5. All dogs, when outside the residence and garage, shall be supervised at all times.
6. All animal waste shall be collected and disposed of in a lawful manner on a daily basis.
7. No more than one (1) customer at a time shall be permitted on the property.

APPLICATION HISTORY: This application was deferred by the Planning Commission on November 12
to provide time for the applicant and Staff to consider alternative screening methods for the storage yard.
BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a bulk storage yard within a fenced area at the
rear of the site. The 1.02 acre site is zoned B-2 Community Business, and contains a barber shop, air
conditioning repair establishment, tattoo parlor and a small engine repair facility. Other uses along
Independence Boulevard in the vicinity of this application include various commercial and office uses as
well as engine repair facilities.
The bulk storage yard is located to the rear of the building. The applicant uses a portion of the space to
store lawn mowers and lawn equipment awaiting repair. The other tenants use the remaining space,
predominately to store commercial equipment. The crushed gravel ground cover will remain. The bulk
storage yard is enclosed with a six (6) foot in height chain link fence with one (1) foot of barbed wire on
top. The fencing along the north and east sides of the storage area are located on the adjacent
properties, and will remain. Category IV landscaping, consisting of evergreen trees, eight (8) to ten (10)
feet at maturity, will be installed along the outside of the western fence line. The main gated entrance to
the storage yard along the western fence will not be changed. A new gate will be installed, using solid
fencing material, to the east of the building.

principles have been established in the Comprehensive Plan to promote this stability: preserve
neighborhood quality, create and protect open spaces, and connect suburban mobility. To preserve
neighborhood quality the Plan promotes compatible infill development and conditions on places of
special care and home occupations. Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities, such as
home occupations, either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with
surroundings, quality and attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental
responsibility, livability, and effective buffering with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to the
surrounding uses. (pp. 3-1, 3-2)

along Independence Boulevard, an 8 -inch City gravity sewer main along Lawson Road, and a 36 -inch
HRSD force main along Lawson Road.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request for a bulk storage yard. The property has been used in this
capacity for many years, and no changes to the use are proposed with this application. The use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use policies for the Suburban Area, and with the character
of the surrounding area. The bulk storage yard is not visible from Independence Boulevard, and is
adjacent to a dead-end right-of-way to the west (Lawson Road), a postal distribution center to the north,
and an engine repair facility to the east. As such, this use is not expected to have any adverse effects on
the adjacent properties.
Section 228 of the City Zoning Ordinance requires that a bulk storage yard be completely enclosed by a
solid fence, not less than six feet in height, with Category IV landscaping planted around the exterior of
the fence. The fencing along the north and east of the bulk storage yard are on the adjacent properties,
and therefore cannot be used to meet the landscaping requirement. The applicant is requesting that the
deficiency in required landscaping be addressed through the provision of Section 221 (i) of the Zoning
Ordinance, which states that City Council may allow a deviation from this requirement "for good cause
shown upon a finding that there will be no significant detrimental effects on surrounding properties:'
r
BEACH LAWN AND GARDEN,,#Jc.
Agenda Iterr D1
Page 3
Reasonable deviations from the following requirements applicable to the proposed development are
allowed:
(1) Required setbacks;
(2) Required landscaping;
(3) Height restrictions, except as provided in Section 202 (b); and
(4) Minimum lot area requirements.
Staff concludes that allowing the existing fence to remain as it has for many years will not adversely
impact the adjacent properties. Should the owners of the adjacent properties remove the fencing to the
north and/or east of the storage yard, the applicant or owner of the subject property will be required to
provide new fencing that meets the requirements of Section 228 of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant
has worked with Staff to provide a reasonable alternative, and has agreed to install Category IV
landscape screening along the outside of the western fence line. Condition 4 is recommended to address
this issue. A new gate on the east side of the building will provide adequate screening from Independence
Boulevard.
Based on the considerations above, staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions below.
CONDITIONS
1. With the exception of any modifications required by any of these conditions, the site shall be
developed and maintained substantially in conformance with the submitted site plan entitled
"PARKING PLAN FOR 1760-1776 INDEPENDENCE BLVD.", dated March 25, 2014 and
prepared by Robyn J. Thomas.
2. Category IV landscape screening shall be installed at the exterior of the fence at the west side of
the bulk storage area, as shown on the site plan identified by staff as "LANDSCAPE AND
IMPROVEMENTS PLAN". The landscaping shall consist of evergreen trees, five to six feet in
height at the time of planting.
3. A gate shall be installed to the east of building, as shown on the site plan, identified by staff as
"LANDSCAPE AND IMPROVEMENTS PLAN". The gate shall be constructed of a solid material,
not less than 6 feet in height.
4. Should the fencing located on the adjacent parcels to the north and/or east be removed, the
applicant or owner of the subject property shall be required to install new fencing. The new
fencing shall be not less than six (6) feet in height, and Category VI landscaping, as per Section
228 of the Zoning Ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: NEWTOWN SQUARE ASSOCIATES, LLC (Applicant) / PROVIDENCE
DEVELOPMENT CORP. (Owner), Change of Zoning, B-2 Community
Business & A-18 Apartment to Conditional B-4 Mixed Use District
Commercial, 544 Newtown Road & 525 Landfall Arch (GPINs 1468303340
and 1467392620). COUNCIL DISTRICT — KEMPSVILLE.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Change of Zoning for an existing 9.7 -acre site from B-2
Community Business and A-18 Apartment Districts to Conditional B-4 Mixed Use
District for the purpose of redeveloping the site. The site is currently occupied by
the Newpointe Shopping Center. Developed in the 1980s, the shopping center is
typical of that era, with the buildings located to the rear of the site and a large
expanse of paved parking between the buildings and outparcels adjacent to
Newtown Road. The site is bisected from the northeast to the southwest by the
City of Norfolk's 30 -inch raw water line that runs from Stumpy Lake to Lake
Lawson.
■ Considerations:
The redevelopment will consist of two buildings with 134 multifamily dwelling
units each (total of 268 units / 27.6 units per acre) as well as a one-story building
with a floor area of 17,580 square feet for commercial use. The apartment
buildings are four -stories in height, with the exception of a central tower element
on the front fagade of each. The facades in both directions are nearly identical,
having the same architectural elements and exterior materials and colors. The
retail building will have the same architectural elements, materials, and colors.
Vehicular access to the site will be from two existing points on Baker Road and
two existing points on Newtown Road. An existing access point located on Baker
Road will be eliminated.
As an outcome of its consideration of the rezoning, the Planning Commission
had two principal concerns. First, as noted by Traffic Engineering, there is
insufficient area within the Newtown Road right-of-way to provide a left -turn lane
into the site at the northern (main) access point. To discourage left turns into the
site at that location, the applicant agreed to physically modify the access to allow
right -in and right -out only. That change is now shown on the proffered plan (page
12 of attached staff report). Second, the commission, to address issues of
NEWTOWN SQUARE ASSOCIATES
Page 2of3
security and to enhance buffering along the eastern lot line, recommended the
installation of black aluminum wrought -iron style fencing along the Baker Road
frontage and the eastern lot line. The applicant agreed to the recommendation,
and that change is also shown on the proffered plan.
Further details pertaining to the site and building designs, 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 by a recorded vote of 10-0, recommends approval of
this request to the City Council as proffered:
PROFFER 1:
The Property, when developed, shall be developed in substantial conformity with
the conceptual site plan prepared by Site Improvement Associates, Inc., entitled
"Zoning Exhibit for Newpointe Shopping Center," and dated August 26, 2014,
revised December 31, 2014 (the "Concept Plan"), a copy of which is on file with
the Department of Planning and has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City
Council.
PROFFER 2:
The number of multifamily residential units located on the Property, when
developed, shall not exceed a total of two -hundred and sixty eight (268).
PROFFER 3:
The architectural style and quality of materials of the multifamily residential
buildings constructed on the Property (together the "Residential Buildings"),
when developed, shall be substantially compatible with the residential building
elevations entitled "544 Newtown Road, Boyd Homes, Virginia Beach, Virginia,"

Conditional Zoning Change from 8.2 d A-18 to Cond. B -I DEVELOPMENT
CORP.
STAFF PLANNER: Stephen J. White
REQUEST: Change of Zoning (B-2 and A-18 District to Conditional B-4 Mixed Use District)
ADDRESS / DESCRIPTION: 544 Newtown Road and 525 Landfall Arch
GPIN: ELECTION DISTRICT: SITE SIZE: AICUZ:
1468303340 and KEMPSVILLE 9.7 acres Less than 65 dB DNL
1467392620
BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Backaround
The applicant proposes to rezone the existing 9.7 -acre site from B-2 Community Business and A-18
Apartment District to Conditional B-4 Mixed Use District for the purpose of redeveloping the site with two
four-story buildings consisting of 134 multifamily dwelling units each and a one-story building consisting of
17,580 square feet of retail use. With a total of 268 dwelling units, the density of the project is 27.6 units
per acre. The maximum allowable density in B-4 Mixed Use District is 36 units per acre.
The site is currently occupied by the Newpointe Shopping Center. Developed in 1986, the shopping
center is typical of that era, with the buildings located to the rear of the site and a large expanse of paved
parking between the buildings and outparcels adjacent to Newtown Road. The site is bisected from the
northeast to the southwest by the City of Norfolk's 30 -inch raw water line that runs from Stumpy Lake to
Lake Lawson. The shopping center building is divided where the easement for the water line is located.
NEWTOWN SQUARE ASSOCIATES, L.L.C.
Agenda Item 6
Page 1
Retail is no longer the primary current land use within the shopping center, as the center has lost
businesses to other locations in the area. Current land uses consist of religious uses, child education and
care, an ethnic restaurant and grocery, real estate offices, and hair care / beauty salon. The applicant,
who is also owner of the shopping center, is requesting the Conditional Change of Zoning as a means of
redeveloping and revitalizing the property.
Details / Site
The applicant proposes to demolish the existing shopping center building strip with the exception of a
section of approximately 220 feet in length parallel to the southern property line. The remainder of the site
will be cleared.
In addition to the retail building being retained, the proffered site plan shows two four-story buildings and
an existing maintenance office and storage building that is located at the far southeastern portion of the
property. The building is adjacent to and connected to the Pines of Newpointe apartment complex via
Landfall Arch. This building will also be retained.
The raw water line easement has a major role in the design of the site as well as the design of one of the
apartment buildings. One of the apartment buildings (labeled '#1' on the site plan) is situated north of the
raw water line easement and the other building (labeled '#2') is south of the easement. Based on the
applicant's design of the buildings and the orientation of the parking rows, as well as the desire to retain
the one section of the retail building, the eastern corner of Building #2 is 'trimmed' due to that corner
being immediately adjacent to the easement.
Vehicular access to the site will be from two existing points on Baker Road and two existing points on
Newtown Road. An existing access point located on Baker Road will be eliminated. The Baker Road
access points are located at the eastern and western corners of the subject site. The two access points
on Newtown Road and their associated access drives also provide access to five outparcels along
Newtown Road. None of those outparcels have direct access to Newtown Road. Accordingly, the two
access drives, as well as 12 feet of the subject site are encumbered by an ingress/egress easement that
also connects with the southern access point on Baker Road. The ingress/easement that runs along the
rear of each outparcel is actually 24 feet in width, but the easement is equally divided between each
outparcel and the subject parcel.
Parking for the apartments as well as the retail building is distributed throughout the site such that all
three buildings are easily accessible from all parking spaces. The combined uses located on the site
require 557 parking spaces and 583 are being provided. Based on the number of required parking
spaces, 15 bicycle spaces and 18 motorcycle spaces are required. The site plan shows 18 bicycle spaces
within the distance required by the Zoning Ordinance. It must be noted, however, that the proffered site
plan indicates that 20 spaces are provided, but only 18 are shown. Additionally, for parking lots with more
than 300 motor vehicle parking spaces, Section 203(b)(14) of the Zoning Ordinance requires that 50
percent of the bicycle spaces be either located indoors or be "covered in accordance with the City of
Virginia Beach Landscaping Guide." The proffered site plan does not indicate that any of the spaces will
be covered; therefore, should this rezoning application be approved, staff will ensure that at least nine of
the spaces meet this requirement. With regard to the parking space requirements of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, 11 accessible parking spaces are required, and the site plan shows 11 such spaces
located in proximity to the building access points as required.
Landscape plantings are dispersed throughout the site within the parking lot and along the roadway
frontage as required. Specific plant species and sizes are not specified, but shall be, as required, at site
plan review. The introduction of the landscape areas to a site that was previously devoid of landscaping
combined with the size of the apartment building footprint due its vertical nature, results in a reduction in
the percentage of the site that is impervious from the current 93 percent to 78 percent.
NEWTOWN SQUARE ASSOCIATES, L.L.C.
Agenda Item 6
Page 2
The Zoning Ordinance requires a 15 -foot wide Category IV buffer between Business Districts and
Apartment or Residential Districts. The site plan shows only an 11 -foot wide buffer. The applicant is
requesting that the deviation from the 15 -foot requirement be allowed per the provisions of Section 107(i)
of the Zoning Ordinance:
In addition, the City Council may, for good cause shown and upon a finding that there will be no
significant detrimental effects on surrounding properties, accept proffered conditions reasonably
deviating from the setback, landscaping and minimum lot area requirements and height
restrictions, except as provided in Section 202(b), otherwise applicable to the proposed
development. No such deviation shall be in conflict with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan.
With regard to pedestrian circulation, there are sidewalks around the apartment buildings, including
connections between each of those buildings as well as the retail building. There are, however, no
connections between the sidewalks around the apartment buildings and the sidewalks on Baker Road or
Newtown Road. Staff finds that such connections are needed and would be welcomed by the future
residents of the apartments. The retail building also lacks a sidewalk connection to the right-of-way of
Newtown Road. While such a connection is not strictly required by the 'Applicability' provisions of the
Retail Design Standards section of the Zoning Ordinance, the connection, as well as the connection of
the residential units to the public rights-of-way, is consistent with the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Details / Buildings
The apartment buildings are four -stories in height, with the exception of the central tower element on the
front facade of each, which gives the appearance of being a fifth -story under the roof. The tower element
provides a central focal point for the building, and the building stretches outward in both directions from
that point. The facades in both directions are nearly identical, having the same architectural elements and
exterior materials and colors. The primary entry point for the building is easily recognizable by use of a
two-story columned portico feature with a metal roof that slopes to the middle of the third -story level. The
roofline is varied with regard to height at the ridge. That roof variation combined with the projections and
recesses of the facades of the building, as well as the variation in the types and placement of the exterior
materials, create a good level of variation, and thus, good visual interest. The overall impression is one of
a quality building design.
The B-4 Mixed -Use District has no maximum height limit. The two apartment buildings are 53.25 feet in
height at the highest point of the roof. While there is no maximum height limitation, there is a 35 -foot
maximum height restriction for any portion of a structure within 100 feet of a Residential or Apartment
District. Since the lot to the east of the subject site is zoned A-18 Apartment, this restriction applies, and
the northern building (#1) is located 75 feet from the lot line. The highest point of the building within the
encroaching 25 feet is 47 feet, which exceeds the 35 -foot maximum height restriction. Similar to the
request for the deviation for the landscape buffer along the eastern lot line, the applicant is requesting a
deviation from the 35 -foot height requirement per the provisions of Section 107(1) of the Zoning
Ordinance.
The commercial building, as previously noted, is a reuse of the existing commercial building; however, the
exterior of the building is being renovated with new exterior materials that are compatible to those used
on the apartment building. All sides of the building include use of the matching architectural design
elements, providing a sense of continuity and quality that currently does not exist. Moreover, those
architectural design elements are the same as those used on the apartment buildings, which results in the
entire site appearing to be one integrated multi -use development.
NEWTOWN SQUARE ASSOCIATES, L.L.C.
Agenda Item 6
Page 3
Exterior building materials proposed for both the apartment buildings and the commercial building include
brick, premium vinyl siding, metal balcony railing, metal and asphalt/fiberglass shingle roofing, EIFS, and
new storefront system (commercial building).
Both apartment buildings feature amenities open to the outdoors; however, those amenity areas are
located within the building, recessed below the level of the roof. The southern apartment building
(Building #2) includes the largest amenity area, which is consistent with the fact that Building #2 appears
to be the main activity center for the complex, as both the leasing office and maintenance office are also
located in this building. The amenities located in Building #2 consist of a clubhouse, swimming pool,
grilling area, and a 'cave.' Amenities in Building #1 consist of two courtyard areas for primarily passive
recreation and entertainment.

NATURAL RESOURCE AND The site is 93 percent impervious. Stormwater from the existing site
CULTURAL FEATURES: drains to Witchduck Lake as part of the Witchduck Lake stormwater
system. The applicant intends to manage stormwater generated by
the proposed development by use of the same system.
There are no known significant natural resource features on the
site. There are also no known features of cultural or historical value
on the site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as being in the
Suburban Area. The general planning principles for the Suburban Area focus on preserving and
protecting the overall character, economic value, and aesthetic quality of stable neighborhoods.
Achieving these goals of preserving neighborhood quality requires that all new development or
redevelopment, whether residential or non-residential, either maintain or enhance the overall area. This is
accomplished through compatibility with surroundings, attractiveness of site and buildings, environmental
responsibility, livability, and effective buffering of residential from other residential and non-residential with
respect to type, size, intensity, and relationship to the surrounding uses. (pp. 3-1 through 3-3).

IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) / CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP): Newtown
Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a four/five-lane undivided minor suburban arterial.
The MTP recommends a six -lane facility within a 150 -foot wide right-of-way. Currently, this segment of
roadway is functioning over -capacity at a Level of Service F, and is ranked 24th in the City's Technical
Ranking of Congested Roadway Segments for 2013. This ranking is out of 293 segments from the arterial
and collector roadway classifications. The Newtown Road/Baker Road intersection is ranked 13th out of
366 in the city's Technical Ranking of Congested Signalized Intersection for 2013.
Baker Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a two-lane undivided minor suburban arterial.
The MTP recommends a two-lane facility within a 70 foot right-of-way. Currently, this segment of roadway
is functioning under capacity at a Level of Service C or better.
A Roadway CIP project is slated for this area. "Newtown Road and Baker Road Intersection
Improvements (CIP 2-037)" is a safety and congestion improvement project which will add turn lanes and
will reconfigure the intersection. Project design is currently scheduled to begin in July 2017.

Comments — PW/Traffic Ennineerincl
• Although the proposed development is estimated to have slightly less daily traffic than the existing
development based on the ITE Trip Generation Handbook, due to the fact that the existing shopping
center is not fully occupied or occupied by typical shopping center users, does not actually generate
the ADT based on that provided by the Trip Generation Handbook. Accordingly, traffic volumes may
actually increase on the adjacent roadways with the proposed development.
• The 'technical rankings' provided above in the 'MTP/CIP' section indicate Newtown Road is a highly
congested roadway. A CIP project has been developed to fix some of the issues at the Newtown
Road/Baker Road intersection; however, the project is not funded at this time. Thus, any site
generated improvements associated with new development are critical in order to improve the
function of the roadway.
• The main/first entrance for traffic in the southbound lanes of Newtown Road lacks a left -turn lane into
NEWTOWN SQUARE ASSOCIATES, L.L.C.
Agenda Item 6
Page 5
the site; so, vehicles must wait to turn left from the inside through -lane. Although a left -turn lane does
exist for the second entrance south of the main entrance, the layout of the site and outparcels is
conducive to southbound drivers entering in at the main entrance. Thus, the left -turn movement at the
main entrance must be controlled. Typically, a left -turn lane would be required to isolate this
movement. The left -turn lane, however, for northbound traffic on Newtown Road making a turn to
westbound Baker Road is 320 feet long, which extends to the subject site's main entrance. Due to
this fact, there is a conflict for the installation of a left -turn lane into the subject site for southbound
traffic. Traffic Engineering, therefore, will require that the developer find a solution that addresses the
left -turn movement problem such that traffic flow in this corridor will not be hampered by traffic
attempting to enter the site. The considerations that follow are important with regard to determining
the appropriate solution:
o The northbound left -turn lane storage capacity at Baker Road cannot be diminished beyond
what is operationally necessary.
o Any left turn restriction into the site has to be designed such that the movement is restricted
by physical changes to the roadway. Installation of a 'No Left Turn' sign or any other
similar sign posted at the entrance will not be sufficient.
o The site layout could be designed to alter the pattern of a driver's arrival at the site. This
means that the direct access into the site could be moved to other entrances where turn
lanes are possible if they do not currently exist.
• Traffic Engineering will have additional comments when a detailed construction site plan is submitted.
WATER: The site is already connected to City water. There is an existing 12 -inch water main within
Newtown Road and an existing eight -inch water main within Baker Road. There are existing four -inch,
six-inch, and eight -inch water mains extending into the site. There are several water meters located on
the site that may be used or upgraded to serve the proposed development.
SEWER: This site is already connected to City sanitary sewer. There is an existing 8 -inch City sanitary
sewer gravity main within Baker Road and an existing 12 -inch City force main within Newtown Road.
There is also a 48 -inch HRSD force main within Newtown Road. An eight -inch sanitary sewer gravity
main currently extends into the site. Sewer and pump station analysis for Pump Station #334 will be
required to determine if future flows from the proposed development can be accommodated.

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
NEWTOWN SQUARE ASSOCIATES, L.L.C.
Agenda Item 6
Page 6
The applicant's proposal for Change of Zoning from B-2 Business and A-18 Apartment to B-4 Mixed -Use
District is an opportunity, encouraged by the Comprehensive Plan for both the Suburban Area and Urban
Area, to redevelop and revitalize through the efforts of the private sector an underutilized commercial
shopping center. Unlike the urban form of development recommended by the Comprehensive Plan for the
Strategic Growth Areas, the form of the applicant's proposed development is distinctly suburban;
however, the use of two mid -rise buildings with 134 dwellings in each provides an urban -like element, and
will serve as a 'landmark' feature for this portion of the city.
Rather than maintaining the current use and revitalizing it though enhancements to the site and building
design, the developer is replacing the use of the property, creating new housing and upgrading a
minimum area of the existing commercial center. The applicant's proposal exemplifies policies of the
Comprehensive Plan that encourage the type of renewal of the City's older and underutilized commercial
buildings and complexes through either quality enhancement what currently exists or redevelopment that
introduces uses that are of high quality and strive to meet the needs of the surrounding area.
The Comprehensive Plan, as part of its role to assist property owners in their efforts to actualize the land
use and development principles for the Suburban Area, provides guidance with regard to building and site
design. The Plan's 'General and Special Area Development Guidelines' for site and building design are
specific to development such as the proposed, and the guidelines should be implemented, as
appropriate, to improve the quality of our physical environment and aid in not only preserving adjacent
and surrounding neighborhoods, but encouraging their enhancement as well. In its review of the
applicant's proposal, the Comprehensive Planning component of the team evaluating this application,
provided a number of site and building design recommendations that, during the evaluation process, the
applicant integrated into the design as possible and appropriate.
One of the more important improvements to this site is the significant decrease in the impervious cover
from 93 percent to 79 percent. This decrease is a substantial benefit with regard to stormwater
management, infiltration of rainwater into the ground, and even the introduction of habitat for plants,
insects, and other life suited for small pockets of permeable vegetated area.
The applicant's proposed development is generally consistent with the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan for the Suburban Area, as well as recommendations provided by the Plan's
'Housing and Neighborhoods' component, and in particular, the following goal:
Address future housing demand through provision of an adequate supply of safe, decent,
attractive, and diverse housing, with a range of values, including owner -occupied and rental units,
for the purpose of accommodating the present and future needs of all Virginia Beach residents,
(page 8-7).
While the proposed development provides a significant redevelopment of a distressed and underutilized
parcel, Staff finds that the applicant's choice of premium vinyl siding rather than the higher quality and
longer lasting fiber -cement siding alternatives (such as Hardiplank) a significant deficiency of the overall
proposal. The applicant, however, has cited the need to keep the cost of the project within a level where
the rents that can be achieved in this area are indeed achievable.
As previously noted in the first section of this report, the site and building plans do not meet the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance with regard to two elements:
1. The landscape buffer along the eastern lot line, as it is adjacent to an Apartment zoning district, is
required to be 15 feet. The applicant is providing 11 feet.
2. The maximum height of any portion of a building within 100 feet of the lot line of an Apartment
zoning district is 35 feet. There is 25 feet of Building #1 (northern side of the lot) that encroaches
into the 100 -foot area. The height of that part of the building is 47 feet.

The applicant is requesting a deviation from these two deficiencies as shown on the proffered site and
architectural plans. This is allowed, per the provisions of Section 107(i) of the Zoning Ordinance, which
states the following:
In addition, the City Council may, for good cause shown and upon a finding that there will be no
significant detrimental effects on surrounding properties, accept proffered conditions reasonably
deviating from the setback, landscaping and minimum lot area requirements and height
restrictions, except as provided in Section 202(b), otherwise applicable to the proposed
development. No such deviation shall be in conflict with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Based on Staffs evaluation of the proposed development, Staff finds that the deficiencies identified
above are reasonable, as there are sufficient reasons for the deficiencies, there will be no detrimental
effects on the adjacent apartments, and there is no conflict with the design guidelines of the
Comprehensive Plan. Accordingly, Staff supports the deficiencies as depicted on the proffered plans.
Based on Staffs evaluation of the request, as provided above, approval of the application is
recommended as proffered.

Change of Zoning
544 Newtown Road & 525 Landfall Arch
District 2
Kempsville
December 10, 2014
REGULAR
Dave Redmond: Mr. Secretary, will you call the next item?
Bob Thornton: The next item Mr. Chairman is Item 6, Newtown Square Associates, L.L.0 This is a
Change of Zoning from B-2 and A-18 to Conditional B-4 Mixed Use District on Newtown Road and
Landfall Arch. And we have Mr. R.J. Nutter here to speak on this matter.
Dave Redmond: Mr. Nutter.
R.J. Nutter: Mr. Redmond, Mr. Chairman. For the record, my name is R.J. Nutter, and I'm an attorney. I
represent the applicant. I wish I could say I appreciate being on the consent agenda, but there are a few
items that I heard that you wanted to talk about; so, I will try to address them for you. First and
foremost, it is a pleasure to represent this application. Too often, we forget what's happening around
outside contact with a particular piece of paper in front of us. This may be one of them, because this
represents the largest private investment along Newtown Road in over 20 years. That is an area that
sorely needs of that kind of recapitalization. And it couldn't begin at a property more appropriate. The
shopping center was built in 1980. It is 35 years old. It began as "the next best thing" and it has, over
time, unfortunately, been passed by many of the major retailers. Other shopping centers have opened
at other locations, and have taken major tenants. And as it often happens, in cases like this, the tenant
situation becomes more difficult. Maintenance becomes more expensive, because you have more to
clean up, and less revenue from which to do that. It has been a source of crime, as you all know. The
Police Department routinely comments on applications, but frankly in this if they were here, they would
probably stand up and applaud and urge you to put it on the consent agenda, because this cleanup is
considerable, not just from a public perspective and appearance perspective but from their purpose a
public safety perspective. So, having told you that, let me tell a little bit about what the redevelopment
of this property entails. The property under the rezoning consists of about ten acres, 9.7 acres here.
But in addition to that, I would like to talk to you about this piece right here, which is currently an
automobile type operation. That is going to be torn down. That is a lease that is currently owned by the
applicant on this property. It is leased to this tenant and this tenant is being relocated, and my client
will be building a new two-story, very modern, very attractive office building at this location. Relocating
their offices, which have been located roughly about here in the retail center to this facility, and building
an additional, it is about 12,700 square feet of additional office space here. Many of these spaces are
long term leases. They are 99 year leases, so they are effective almost sales. So the out parcels will
remain the same. Thus, we were going to clean up this intersection here (pointing to PowerPoint). I'm
sorry this location here. And make a major difference to the properties here. The property is currently
zoned interestingly enough, unconditional B-2 the bulk of this, and a small portion back here is zoned
unconditional A-18. So, we are taking this property to a conditional status from an unconditional status,
and investing about 35 to 40 million dollars in this overall development from top to finish. There are a
few tenants that have served the neighborhood well and not presented any problems whatsoever. As a
Item #6
Newtown Square Associates, L.L.C.
Page 2
result of that, this portion of the property, whichis about 17,000 square feet, if I'm not mistaken, will
remain retail. It will be refaced entirely. New roof put on. New fronts put on, brick fagade front. As
well as a nice roof system that will make it look like this as you see here. It is very attractive. Not the
flat roof as we see so often of these. There is a nice signage allowance for each of the tenants and
picking up the materials, and the colors of the residential component of this project as we go forward.
What is not shown here is the office building that was just submitted for site plan, actually earlier this
week, but it is a very attractive two-story office building here. This gets redone, and then, the majority
of retail here, largely vacant, gets torn down and redeveloped into two four-story apartment buildings
that are very, very expensive to build. And by that I mean, these are all interior courtyards. These are
not the three and four story walk ups that we too often see. These are very attractive buildings. They
are very nice. These are simply nicer. They are all interior courtyards. They are all fully conditioned
space from the interior. A large percentage of brick as you see on this building. Architectural style roofs
on this building. They are using, and one of the issues, I understand is the balance of the material, which
is this case they are using a high quality vinyl and I point out to you that the folks could choose to use
hardieplank here. They could do that. They prefer vinyl. Not just from a cost perspective, as staff
points out, but frankly they have a long term history with both of those materials. They do projects here
and western Virginia and they are far more comfortable with vinyl as long term maintenance materials
that as opposed to hardieplank. I would tell you that many of the applications you just put on your
consent agenda consisted of vinyl as well as hardieplank. So it really is, I think it is, up to the developer,
if he would, to look to those. I don't think it is a measure of the quality of this. As you know this is a
very, very attractive building. It is very expensive. All the right amenities are being applied here. Do
you have a copy Kevin of the interior portion? Okay. Let me show you very briefly. I am not sure why it
didn't make it. Inside these buildings are interior court yards, and they have interior pools. They have. I
am going to show you very quickly. I apologize. I thought it was in there, so that is why I didn't prepare
this earlier. The interior of these buildings, as you see from that shot, these units are designed not just
open on the outside, but many of the units open into the interior courtyard features. This is a very, very
popular type of structure by the Humphries Architects, with the interior features. I'll give you some of
these photos and I'll be happy to point around to you. Thank you very much. Ms. Oliver, would you
mind if I handed these to you? I'm sorry Stephen. I thought they were in there. Okay, this will kind of
show you very high quality materials in the inside, pools, walk-through areas so you can walk around
throughout these facilities. They haven't cut any corners. They've used high quality architect materials
(inaudible), and in doing this in a place where a lot of people, frankly, haven't put a lot of money. So, we
are very, very happy about that. I would like to address a couple of the issues that came up here, and
staff reviewed this morning, and first point out by telling you that we had a gentleman here who on the
adjacent industrial parcel, which is located right here, this piece right here. It goes like this. Mr. Snyder
was here in opposition. We talked to him during the break, and I'm happy to tell you that he authorizing
me to relay that he has withdrawn his opposition once he understood where things were going. He did
not know about the office building. He did not know how far the construction was from his property,
and more importantly, he was concerned about a ditch that runs between the current property, his
property here, and on the northern portion of this property, the southern portion of our property. And,
so we've agreed to fencing in here. Apparently, this area is the subject of a lot of people dropping
batteries and tires and so forth into that ditch; so, we agreed to put a fence on our portion as he has
done on his half. So he has withdrawn that opposition. The second issue I'm happy to tell you about
has to do with the access way off of, and you can leave this one up Stephen, you can go back and forth.
It is a major accessway here into the site off Newtown Road. As Traffic Engineering indicated to you
earlier, we thought that was a site plan issue and they were going to hold off and discuss it at that time.
Item #6
Newtown Square Associates, L.L.C.
Page 3
Because it was raised this morning, I've gotten authorization to tell you that we would agree to a right
in/right out only here. There is no room, according to Ric about have a turn lane or putting a median
break there, and traffic is apparently backing up into the through -lane, so as to prevent left turn
movement out of the center. We could come in with a pork chop type feature as we go through site
plan review ,and have this a right in/right out only intersection at that location. And finally, if I can
address the fencing issue with you because I understand that came up as well. First let me tell you that
a little different than other residential projects, because this is residential office and retail isn't really a
mixed use of pieces on this property. So, we haven't wanted to isolate the residential in the same
matter which you might do say as a standalone residential development. As such, what my client was
proposing to do was put a fence here along the eastern portion of the property separating it from the
other properties here that are older, and I would say much older, and frankly, what we also can agree to
do is we can put a fence along Baker Road for appearance perspective. It will give it the appearance that
this is more of a secluded enclosed area. But we would like to withhold a decision about whether or not
we put a fence along this portion. Primarily because for two reasons, one it is not really visible from the
right-of-way; so, it is not an aesthetic issue, and the second is that we hope we can encourage people to
go back and forth between and within these properties. We think a fence might prohibit that. I can tell
you that if in fact we have a problem with vandals, or other people in the areas around us present a
crime problem or a vandalism problem, the you will be the first one to put a fence there and probably
elsewhere as well. You're not going to put $30 million dollars just in these two buildings, and then keep
a fence from prohibiting you from doing what you need to do. So, we feel this would solve much
needed issues the Commission was looking at earlier. Again, staff is recommending approval. We have
no opposition, and I hope you will consider this as things as we can move forward with this application
on. I am happy to answer any questions you might have. Ed, I thank you for your patience.
Dave Redmond: Okay. Thank you Mr. Nutter. Are there any questions for Mr. Nutter? Is there
anybody? Mr. Hodgson.
Jeff Hodgson: The premium vinyl siding. Is that going to be like a cedar shake like the nailight product
where it looks or just flat vinyl.
R.J. Nutter: Sure, I know exactly what you're saying. Let me ask. It is a great question. I don't know the
answer to.
Dave Redmond: Mr. Rudiger.
David Rudiger: Thank you.
Dave Redmond: Would you state your name please.
David Rudiger: David Rudiger for the applicant. And, the premium vinyl was a thicker gauge of vinyl so
it is less acceptable to cupping and warping. Some of it, will in fact, will be of the cedar shake. The
design and some of it will be of the plank design.
Jeff Hodgson: Okay.
Item #6
Newtown Square Associates, L.L.C.
Page 4
Dave Redmond: I have a follow up to that. Do you have any idea, and not down to decimal points, but a
ball park of what percentage of that is brick and what percentage is the premium vinyl that you're
talking about David.
David Rudiger: No, I don't.
Dave Redmond: Okay. I'm looking and it looks like something about a quarter or fifty percent to me.
So, I don't want to sell you short or oversell it.
David Rudiger: I'd be guessing it is the same as you. I haven't done the calculations.
Dave Redmond: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Ripley.
Ron Ripley: Can I ask David a question? The railing systems? What materials will be used for that?
David Rudiger: We use a powdered coated aluminum.
Ron Ripley: Okay. That's good. How about fascial boards and whatever you're going to wrap those.
David Rudiger: We use either a PVC material or a wrap material so that everything is low maintenance
and it stands up well over time.
Ron Ripley: Good. Thank you.
David Rudiger: We intend to hold these and manage them as well as build them.
Dave Redmond: Other questions for Mr. Rudiger and while he is here, Mr. Nutter. Sorry, I didn't mean
to kick you out of the way.
R.J. Nutter: That's alright.
Dave Redmond: Questions for Mr. Nutter or Mr. Rudiger? Mr. Thornton.
Bob Thornton: I may have missed it, but in the fencing that you're proposing along the back and
possibly along the western side, one of the comments that we talked about earlier was maybe some
brick columns with aluminum rail or what appears to be wrought iron, and I'm not using it as a perfect
example but the Springhouse project they did on Northampton and Diamond Springs, it gives it a sense
of a community. You can see through it. It is landscaped nicely, and it would probably not make sense
to put up white panel fencing around this thing. Do you have anything in mind as to what you are going
to do?
David Rudiger: Yes sir. We just are in the process of constructing a project in Hampton where we have
done a similar fence design along the road, and that project we put brick columns at the entrances and
then used a black powered coated aluminum fence between. It gives it a very nice look.
Bob Thornton: Thank you.

Dave Redmond: Are there any other questions for Mr. Nutter? Mr. Inman.
Mike Inman: Can you clarify where you're going to put the fencing? Was it proffered?
R.J. Nutter: What we are proposing is along the eastern border line separating. I'll let you.
David Rudiger: Along Baker Road here and then between the Newport condominiums and the property
along that line. There is existing fence here and there is existing fence here.
Mike Inman: Why would you choose not to put it between the retail and the apartment?
David Rudiger: We're trying to actually encourage motion between the retail and the residential as a
mixed use type of community, and we feel like a barrier there would discourage instead of encourage
that interaction.
Dave Redmond: I think that's partly what they are trying to do with regard to the movement between
those outparcels and then the retail building. They want to cut down the traffic coming from people
who are naturally going to be visiting and today, those are outparcels and the retail component. Are
there any other questions for Mr. Nutter and or Mr. Rudiger? Is there anyone?
Bob Thornton: We didn't talk on it yet. Maybe we will wait until we close the hearing about the
hearing. The third concern we had was access.
Dave Redmond: He did talk about it. I think you may have stepped out.
David Rudiger: Mr. Thornton, we agreed to a right-in/right-out.
Bob Thornton: Okay. Thank you.
David Rudiger: I let Ric know that earlier.
Dave Redmond: We have them staring at Dr. White, and we need not deal with that today. I assume
that is going to be resolved Mr. Lowman in site plan review and beyond. Okay. Thank you.
Bob Thornton: Sorry, I wasn't here for that.
Dave Redmond: Alright, is there anybody else? No. Mr. Rudiger, thank you. Mr. Nutter, thank you.
R.J. Nutter: Gentlemen, always a pleasure. My best, and my congratulation to each of you. You got to
serve and you served with distinction and made a difference.
Dave Redmond: Thank you Mr. Nutter.
R.J. Nutter: It was my pleasure.

Bob Thornton: Well, we had Mr. Snyder to speak but Mr. Nutter has answered his questions and sent
him on back to work; so, we have nobody else to speak. Again, by chance, is Mr. Snyder still here. Did
you say he left?
R.J. Nutter: He left.
Bob Thornton: He left. Okay. He is not here. We have no more speakers.
Dave Redmond: Well alright. With that, we will close the public hearing and open it up for discussion.
Mr. Ripley.
Ron Ripley: I appreciate the applicant's consideration. I think the modification that he has agreed to
make here will improve the application. The right -in /right -out is a tremendous concession, and the
placing of the fencing, of the quality fencing, along those areas, I think will help. I think the comment
that the counsellor mentioned regarding if issues show up, because security is real important in
apartment communities, and owners are very sensitive to that. If there is an element coming into the
property they want to try and control, I would think putting a fence up would be the first thing he would
do, and so, we know the applicant well, and we know they would take care of their situation. I have no
problem with it. I think the concessions he has made are fine. And you know the vinyl itself is. I have
properties that are 30 years with vinyl and you have had to replace it. It is a lasting material as well as a
hardieplank. Hardieplank might be a little more durable, but you also have to paint it from time to time,
probably not going to have to do with the vinyl, and it is up high, and if he is using a light material. It will
be fine. I'm okay with the modification.
Dave Redmond: I am too. I think you very adequately and well answered my questions with regard to
the materials, and I agree with Mr. Ripley, those are some tangible and some substantial improvements
that improve it. As I said this morning, we don't want to discourage this kind of activity, either in the
Newtown Road Corridor or for that matter anywhere in Virginia Beach. You might not have heard this
Mr. Nutter or Mr. Rudiger, it is not that we have too much retail in Virginia Beach, but we have, I think,
in some places, too many retail properties that have long ago outlived their usefulness. The building
themselves, their useful life as structures without an enormous investment in rehabilitation are beyond
their years, and this kind of redevelopment, particularly of this kind, quality, and scale in a corridor like
this is to be encouraged in my view and not discouraged; so, we do appreciate the activity that you are
undertaking. Mr. Rudiger, I think we first met about 9 years ago at this property and it looked the same.
And so it is ripe for some sort of redevelopment opportunity, and now that the opportunity has come,
I'm glad that you are able to seize on it. And I hope you will be very successful doing it. Does anybody
else have questions or comments?
Donald Horsley: I will just make a comment. I am real pleased that somebody has taken interest. This is
a sizeable investment to be making in this area. Hopefully, this will continue to help revitalize this area.
Dave Redmond: This area to be clear though this area has seen some investment, not of this scale, but
over a little bit farther, and I'm directionally challenged, and I'm going to say to the north as you get
closer to Haygood Road. It's coming. It's coming. And I think this is a bold and long stroke that will
hopefully, will accelerate some of the redevelopment in this area, and I think it is wonderful. As I said
before, I hope you are very successful at it. Is there anybody else? If not, I will be looking for a motion.

disclosure. In regard to application #6, Newtown Associates on the December Planning Commission
agenda, I am an employee of Batchelder and Collins, and an entity of Newtown Associates, Boyd Homes,
is a client of Batchelder and Collins. It is not reasonably forseeable that Batchelder and Collins will
benefit from my vote as it is ultimately a decision of City Council for the approval of this application. As
such, I am able to participate in the transaction fairly, objectively and in the public interest.
Dave Redmond: Thank you Mr. Weiner.
David Weiner: I'll share this with everybody.
Dave Redmond: Mr. Ripley.
Ron Ripley: We are adding the fence on those two property lines.
Dave Redmond: As a condition.
Ron Ripley: Yeah. I guess it is the east and the north.
Stephen White: Mr. Chairman, if it will clarify and give you some reassurance, what I plan to do, and I
don't think Mr. Nutter will object to this, is between the Planning Commission and City Council have
them add these items to the site plan so it will be included as a proffer.
Dave Redmond: Is that satisfactory Mr. Ripley?
Ron Ripley: Oh yeah.

between NEWTOWN SQUARE ASSOCIATES, L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company
("Newtown", to be indexed as grantor), PROVIDENCE DEVELOPMENT CORP., a Virginia
corporation ("Providence", to be indexed as grantor) (Newtown and Providence together referred
to herein as "Grantors"); and the CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the
Commonwealth of Virginia (hereinafter referred to as the "Grantee", and to be indexed as
Grantee).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Newtown is the current owner of that certain parcel located in the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia identified as GPIN Number 1468-30-3340 (the "Newtown Parcel"),
which is more particularly described on the attached Exhibit A;
WHEREAS, Providence is the current owner of that certain property located in the City
of Virginia Beach, Virginia identified as GPIN Number 1467-39-2620 (the "Providence Parcel"),
which is more particularly described on the attached Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, the Newtown Parcel and the Providence Parcel are together referred to
herein as the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Grantors have initiated an amendment to the Zoning Map of the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia by petition addressed to the Grantee, so as to change the classification
of the Property from B-2 and A-18 to Conditional B-4; and
WHEREAS, Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land for
various purposes, including mixed-use purposes, through zoning and other land development
legislation. The Grantors acknowledge that competing and sometimes incompatible uses conflict,
and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the subject Property and at the
same time to recognize the effects of the change and the need for various types of uses, certain
reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the community that
are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned B-4 are needed to cope with the situation to
which the Grantor's rezoning application gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Grantors have voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and prior
to the public hearing before the Grantee, as part of the proposed conditional amendment to the
Zoning Map, in addition to the regulations provided for in the existing B-4 zoning districts by the
existing City's Zoning Ordinance (CZO), the following reasonable conditions related to the
physical development, operation and use of the Property to be adopted as a part of said
GPlN Nos.: 1468-30-3340 and 1467-39-2620
229663970
amendment to the new Zoning Map relative to the Property, all of which have a reasonable
relation to the rezoning and the need for which are generated by the rezoning; and
WHEREAS, said conditions having been proffered by the Grantors and allowed and
accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, such conditions shall
continue in full force and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning on the
Property covered by such conditions; provided, however, that such conditions shall continue
despite a subsequent amendment if the subsequent amendment is part of the comprehensive
implementation of a new or substantially revised zoning ordinance, unless, notwithstanding the
foregoing, these conditions are amended or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's
Office of the Circuit Court of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and executed by the record owner of the
subject Property at the time of recordation of such instrument; provided, further, that said
instrument is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of the
ordinance or resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee advertised pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Virginia, Section 15.2-
2204, which said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with said instrument as
conclusive evidence of such consent.
NOW THEREFORE, the Grantor, for themselves, their successors, assigns, grantees,

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CHECKERED FLAG MOTOR CAR COMPANY, INC. (Applicant)/JULIA H.
LAWRENCE TRUST (Owner), (A) Change of Zoning from A-12 Apartment
(324 Nelms Lane / GPIN 1467770065) and B-2 Community Business (5200,
5220, 5228, & 5232 Virginia Beach Boulevard / GPINs 1467761791,
1467760982, 1467669850 & 1467669913) to Conditional B-2 Community
Business, AND (B) Conditional Use Permit for Auto Sales and Service.
COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
The applicant requests a Change of Zoning of 2.90 acres of property from A-12
Apartment District and B-2 Community Business District to Conditional B-2. The
applicant also requests a Conditional Use Permit for automobile sales and
service. The site currently consists of five parcels, which will be combined and
redeveloped with a new 22,000 square foot sales and service building and
parking areas.
■ Considerations:
The applicant proposes to close a total of three existing curb cuts: one along
Nelms Lane and two along Virginia Beach Boulevard. After redevelopment of the
site, vehicular ingress/egress is proposed from just two points, one along each
right-of-way. Right-of-way improvements will be required along the Nelms Lane
frontage. Improvements include, but are not limited to, pavement widening, curb
& gutter, and streetlights to coincide with the adjacent right-of-way
improvements.
An off-road demo course is proposed immediately adjacent to Northridge Road,
the access into the adjacent townhouse community. Category IV screening within
a 15 -foot wide buffer will be installed along the property lines where this site
abuts the existing townhouse community, which is zoned A-12 Apartment
District, to the north and east. Also depicted on the plan are the minimum
landscaping requirements for streetscape plantings along both rights-of-way,
foundation plantings along the building's facade and interior parking lot trees.
The landscape elements will be reviewed in more detail during final site plan
review. No stormwater management strategy is shown on the plan.
The submitted elevations depict a predominately earth -tone, EIFS exterior with
two distinct accent elements with branding — the Land Rover "tower" and the
CHECKERED FLAG

leaping Jaguar portico. There are garage bay doors proposed on the east side of
the building, adjacent to the townhomes, as well as along the rear of the building.
No garage doors are proposed along the facade facing Nelms Lane.
Further details pertaining to the site and building designs, as well as Staff's
evaluation of the request, are provided in the attached staff report.
There was no opposition to the request.

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Background
The applicant proposes to rezone 2.90 acres of both A-12 Apartment District and B-2 Community
Business District property to Conditional B-2. Auto sales and service in the Business Districts requires a
Conditional Use Permit. The rezoning from A-12 to B-2 for the almost half -acre, northern site is required
to operate the auto sales and service. A Conditional Use Permit for auto sales was approved on two of
the sites, one in 2007 and the second in 1992. The applicant is currently selling automobiles on a portion
of the property under those approved Conditional Use Permits. The rear of the properties appears to be
mainly storage and is untidy. The existing fence along the apartment district properties lines is failing in
many places.
Details
The site plan depicts the consolidation and redevelopment of five parcels in order to construct a new
22,000 square foot auto dealership building and parking areas. The applicant proposes to close a total of
three existing curb cuts: one along Nelms Lane and two along Virginia Beach Boulevard. After
redevelopment of the site, vehicular ingress/egress is proposed from just two points, one along each
right-of-way. Right-of-way improvements will be required along the Nelms Lane frontage. Improvements
include, but are not limited to, pavement widening, curb & gutter, and streetlights to coincide with the
adjacent right-of-way improvements.
An off-road demo course is proposed immediately adjacent to Northridge Road, the access way into the
townhouse community. Category IV screening within a 15 -foot wide buffer will be installed along the
property lines where this site abuts the existing townhouse community, zoned A-12 Apartment District, to
the north and east. Also depicted on the plan are the minimum landscaping requirements for streetscape
plantings along both rights-of-way, foundation plantings along the building's facade and interior parking lot
trees. The landscape elements will be reviewed in more detail during final site plan review. No
stormwater management strategy is shown on the plan.
The submitted elevations depict a predominately earth -tone, EFIS exterior with two distinct accent
elements with branding — the Land Rover "tower" and the leaping Jaguar portico. There are garage bay
doors proposed on the east side of the building, adjacent to the townhomes, as well as along the rear of
the building. No garage doors are proposed along the facade facing Nelms Lane.

NATURAL RESOURCE AND This site is within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. As most of these
CULTURAL FEATURES: properties are already developed, other than several substantial
large canopy trees, there are no expected cultural or natural features
on these sites.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as `Suburban Area'
and contains policies to guide and protect the overall character, economic value, and aesthetic quality of
the stable Suburban Area neighborhoods. Three key planning principles have been established in the
Comprehensive Plan to guard against possible threats to stable neighborhoods: preserve neighborhood
quality, create and protect open spaces and connect suburban mobility. Preserving neighborhood quality
requires that all new development or redevelopment, whether residential or non-residential, either maintain
or enhance the overall development of the area. This can be accomplished by ensuring: compatibility of
uses; quality and attractive layouts and buildings; improved mobility; environmental responsibility;
enhanced livability; and, sufficient buffering with respect to type, size, intensity, and relationship to the
surrounding uses, (page 3-1).
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers, provided below, and with the
conditions below.
While there is likely consensus that these five properties are suitable for redevelopment, it should be
noted that the need for a Conditional Use Permit is to evaluate the impact and compatibility of a use
relative to surrounding properties. This redevelopment project is flanked by two right-of-ways - Nelms
Lane and Northridge Road - that serve as the entry way into the residential communities. Northridge
Road serves a townhouse community and Nelms Lane is a mix of vacant A-12 zoned parcels, small
businesses and numerous multifamily dwelling units. While a retail operation and an auto dealership are
not necessarily the ideal uses at the entry into a community, Staff recognizes that furniture sales and
automotive related uses have been prevalent along this section of Virginia Beach Boulevard for many,
many years. In fact, Conditional Use Permits for auto sales have been approved on two of the sites, one
in 2007 and the second in 1992. Section 220 of the City Zoning Ordinance requires that conditions and
restrictions be imposed to assure compatibility with the neighborhood in which it is located, i.e., when
commercial uses abut less intense uses, such as dwelling units. In an attempt to ensure this, beyond the
minimum required plantings that are depicted on the plan, Staff recommends a condition to shield those
properties from the auto related uses with the addition of a privacy fence. In addition, the entire 2.90
acres will be rezoned to Conditional B-2 with a set of proffers that will provide a high level of predictability
and an expectation by the public, Staff, etc., of the building materials and site design.
The planning principles for the Suburban Area are reinforced by Special Area Development Guidelines for
site and building design in the Comprehensive Plan's Reference Handbook. The following Guidelines
can be applied to this request.
Site Landscaping: Non-residential uses that adjoin areas planned for residential use should employ
effective landscape design techniques and placement of appropriate plant materials to buffer or screen
such uses, including landscape treatment of any related freestanding signs. Screening may include
massing of plant material and hedgerows in conjunction with berms, fences, and walls. Staff
recommends that along with the required Category IV screening, a solid fence be installed along the
property lines adjacent to the Apartment Districts.
Architectural Elements and Building Materials: Structures should be architecturally designed with
proportional elements of scale, mass, and height both in relation to the site and to the surrounding
environment. Staff recommended to the applicant that the side facade located adjacent to and visible
from Nelms Road be upgraded to possess as much detail as the primary facade facing Virginia Beach
Boulevard. In Staff's opinion, the side elevation would be significantly improved if curtain walls and stone
veneer were added.
Lighting: All outdoor lighting should be of a design that accentuates the site and provides sufficient
illumination for the development without projecting light and glare onto adjacent properties or into the sky.
Staff has recommended a condition requiring the submittal of a lighting plan during final site plan review.
Signage: All signs should be consistent in color and theme with the primary building. Signs in all
nonresidential areas should be clearly legible to both motorists and pedestrians. Oversized or overly
elaborate signs that compete for attention or which create visual clutter are discouraged. The future
freestanding sign proposed at the Virginia Beach Boulevard ingress/egress point meets this
CHECKERED FLAG MOTOR .CAR C0.,11�1C;
Agenda Item D2
Pai0e 4
recommendation as it is depicted on the exhibit with a reasonable height of eight feet. However, as only
three signs are allowed by the Zoning Ordinance, a Board of Zoning Appeals Variance for the four signs
depicted will be required.
Access and Circulation: Coordinate access with or provide from the secondary street system or by cross -
parcel easements whenever possible. As the project is a consolidation of five properties with the
elimination of several curb cuts, the plan is consistent with this Guideline.
Parking Areas: Landscaping for the parking areas should be strategically located to provide screening of
uses, shading of the parking lot, green space and visual relief. The submitted concept plan is consistent
with this Guideline.
In sum, the proposal represents a good redevelopment of a site at a prominent location. The use is
compatible to the surrounding area and is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendations for this area.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: AH SANDBRIDGE, LLC (Applicant/Owner). Application: Modification of
Proffers of a Conditional Change of Zoning approved by the City Council
on June 11, 2013. Property is located at 2101 Princess Anne Road (GPIN
2414129860). COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
On June 11, 2013, City Council approved a Conditional Change of Zoning for this
property from AG -1 and AG -2 Agricultural and B-2 Community Business to
Conditional B-2 Community Business. The applicant is requesting modification to
Proffer 3, which lists 19 land uses (as well as any 'hazardous or illegal uses')
that, by this proffer, may not be located on the site. The applicant, with the
original submission of this application, requested that the uses 'massage parlor'
and `child care center' be deleted from Proffer 3 as prohibited land uses.
On January 6, 2015, City Council deferred this item as the applicant submitted a
revision to the proffer; however, the revision was not submitted to the City
Attorney's Office prior to the deadline specified by the Zoning Ordinance. The
revision consists of the `removal' of "child care center" from the originally
proposed modification to Proffer 3 (as described below). Thus, in effect, the only
use that the applicant is now requesting for deletion from Proffer 3 is "massage
parlor."
■ Considerations:
The purpose of Proffer 3 from the 2013 rezoning was to prohibit potential
businesses that have traditionally been viewed as either being undesirable to
most people or having the potential for being a nuisance if not well-managed. Of
note, however, is that many of the uses described in the proffer are not
specifically listed in the Zoning Ordinance as a principal or conditional use. The
most likely reason for this is that the word describing the use is not part of
contemporary language. This is true of 'tavern,' 'betting agency,' 'dance hall,' and
`game parlor.' Others, while not specifically listed in the Zoning Ordinance, are
uses that are considered by the Zoning Ordinance to be `recreational and
amusement uses [of an indoor nature].'
Although not specifically listed as a permitted or conditional use in the Zoning
Ordinance, there are several of the uses in Proffer 3 that are regulated by other
parts of the City Code. For example, `dance halls' are regulated by Chapter 4,
AH SANDBRIDGE
Page 2 of 2
Article II of the City Code. 'Massage parlor' is mentioned in the Zoning Ordinance
only as a prohibited accessory use, such as in a home occupation; however,
massage is regulated by Chapter 18.5 of the City Code, which refers to it in its
contemporary meaning as a form of physical therapy, and thus labels it as
'Massage Therapy.'
The attached staff report includes additional description and explanation of the
applicant's request as well as Staff's evaluation of the request.
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 as proffered:
PROFFER 1:
The Original Proffers are hereby modified by replacing Section 3 of the
Agreement with the following:
"3. No portion of the Property shall be used for any of the following uses:
an onsite dry cleaning service whereby the dry-cleaning and any other
cleaning processes are performed on the outparcel (pick-up and drop-off
only facilities shall be permitted); adult entertainment; adult video or
bookstore; nightclub; tavern; lounge; dance hall; funeral home or morgue;
pool hall; game parlor; skating rink; bingo games; betting agency; bowling
alley; flea market; auto dealership; car rentals or sales; child care center;
or hazardous or illegal uses."
PROFFER 2:
All other covenants, conditions, and restrictions proffered as part of the Original
Proffers shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and are hereby
incorporated by reference. [The original proffers are listed on pages 4 and 5 of
the attached staff report].

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Background
On June 11, 2013, City Council approved a Conditional Change of Zoning for this property from AG -1 and
AG -2 Agricultural and B-2 Community Business to Conditional B-2 Community Business. The Conditional
Rezoning has eight proffers, which are listed at the end of this report.
The applicant is requesting modification to Proffer 3, which lists 19 land use categories (as well as any
'hazardous or illegal uses') that, by this proffer, may not be located on the site. Specifically, the applicant
requests deletion of the uses'massage parlor' ' as prohibited. The proffer currently
reads as follows
No portion of the Property shall be used for any of the following uses: an onsite dry cleaning
service whereby the dry-cleaning and any other cleaning processes are performed on the
outparcel (pick-up and drop-off only facilities shall be permitted); adult entertainment; adult video
or bookstore; nightclub; tavern; lounge; dance hall; massage parlor; funeral home or morgue;

pool hall; game parlor; skating rink; bingo games; betting agency; bowling alley; flea market; auto
dealership; car rentals or sales; child care center; or hazardous or illegal uses.
The applicant's purpose in prohibiting these uses is to delete potential businesses that are traditionally
viewed as either being undesirable to most people or have the potential for being a nuisance if not well-
managed. Many of the uses described in the proffer are not specifically listed in the Zoning Ordinance as
a principal or conditional use, most likely because the term that describes it is not in contemporary use.
This is true of'tavern,' 'betting agency,' 'dance hall,' and 'game parlor.' Others, while not specifically listed
in the Zoning Ordinance, are uses that are considered by the Zoning Ordinance 'recreational and
amusement uses [of an indoor nature].'
Although not specifically listed as a permitted or conditional use in the Zoning Ordinance, there are
several of the uses in Proffer 3 that are regulated by other parts of the City Code. For example, 'dance
halls' are regulated by Chapter 4, Article II of the City Code. 'Massage parlor' is mentioned in the Zoning
Ordinance only as a prohibited accessory use, such as in a home occupation; however, massage is
regulated by Chapter 18.5 of the City Code, which refers to its contemporary meaning as a form of
physical therapy, and thus labels it as 'Massage Therapy.'
IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES
There will be no impact on City services as a result of deleting ` `massage parlor' as
prohibited uses.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The request to delete ' 'massage parlor' from the list of uses that may not be allowed
on the property is acceptable. As previously noted at the beginning of this report, while 'massage parlor'
is included in the list as an undesirable use, its inclusion is based on the 'massage parlor' of the past,
which was largely unregulated and, dependent on its location and management, would prove to be a
nuisance. The City Code now provides regulations for businesses that provide massage, classifying such
a business as a 'massage establishment' for the purpose of providing massage therapy. There are now
several such businesses in shopping centers throughout the city where massage therapists, certified by
the Commonwealth, provide this form of physical therapy.

Staff recommends approval of this request with the submitted proffers. The proffers are provided below.
PROFFERS
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA).
The applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these
proffers in an attempt to `offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable,"
(§107(h)(1)). Should this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and
serve as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.
[The "Original Proffers" referenced below are provided on the following page.]
PROFFER 1:
The Original Proffers are hereby modified by replacing Section 3 of the Agreement with the following:
"3. No portion of the Property shall be used for any of the following uses: an onsite dry
cleaning service whereby the dry-cleaning and any other cleaning processes are performed on the
outparcel (pick-up and drop-off only facilities shall be permitted); adult entertainment; adult video

All other covenants, conditions, and restrictions proffered as part of the Original Proffers shall remain
unchanged and in full force and effect and are hereby incorporated by reference.
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the proffer agreement dated September 29, 2014, and found it to
be legally sufficient and in acceptable legal form.

BACKGROUND / DETAILS OF PROPOSAL
Backsaround
The applicant proposes a Change of Zoning from B-2 Community Business to 1-1 Light Industrial District.
The City of Virginia Beach purchased this 18.245 -acre parcel in partnership with the U.S. Navy as part of
the APZ-1 Acquisition Program. The property has been used as the London Bridge Commerce Center,
with buildings dating from 1954 to 1986. At the time of purchase, the commerce park still had several
businesses with various non -conforming uses. As the leases for the occupants expired, the leases are not
being renewed. Upon the expiration of the final lease, the buildings within the existing office park will be
demolished and the park developed with uses that are compatible with the Greater than 75 dB DNL
AICUZ and APZ-1. The floor area of the uses to be located in the park is anticipated to be approximately
163,000 square feet.
There is no specific layout for the proposed new commerce park; however, a conceptual site plan was
submitted that is indicative of the site's future development (see page eight). Businesses occupying the
redeveloped commerce park will consist of those categorized as light industrial and compatible with the
AICUZ Overlay Ordinance. The redevelopment of the parcel will be managed by the City's Department of
Economic Development, and all development will be marketed and managed consistent with that of the

industrial parks located around NAS Oceana. The upgraded landscaping standards required by the APZ-

NATURAL RESOURCE AND Vegetation on the site consists of grass and other groundcover
CULTURAL FEATURES: plants and trees. There are no known significant natural resource,
cultural, or historical features on the site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The subject property
is located in the Lynnhaven Strategic Growth
Area (SGA 6), for which the Lynnhaven SGA
Master Plan was adopted as an amendment to
the Comprehensive Plan in April 2012. The
vision for this SGA is for a transformation over
time of the existing aging or underutilized
commercial properties into a higher intensity,
pedestrian -friendly 'employment and lifestyle
center' developed to be 'transit -ready.' The SGA
Master Plan designates the subject site as part
of one of several 'Character Areas' within the
Lynnhaven SGA. This specific Character Area is
one of two 'Innovation Zones' the SGA Plan
identifies. One is the complex of light industrial
uses along Dean Drive, and the second is the
subject site. The Plan notes that the purpose of
Innovation Zones is to "provide development
opportunities for small start-up businesses and
technology innovation," (p. 51).

Comment: The applicant's engineering consultant submitted to Public Works / Traffic Engineering a
"London Bridge Commerce Center Traffic Assessment," which provided an analysis of the potential traffic
volumes generated from the center, the peak flows, and the alternative locations for ingress to and
egress from the site, with a specific evaluation on the impact of access at the existing signalized
intersection. The site has an existing access point opposite the London Bridge Garden Center. Measured
center -to -center, this median opening is approximately 325 feet north of the traffic signal for the 1-264 on -
and off -ramp, which is in turn approximately 770 feet north of the signal at Potters Road. Traffic
Engineering has been reviewing the submitted Traffic Assessment, including discussion with the
applicant's engineering consultant to determine the appropriate means of access, which will be determine
prior to the first development project in the commerce park.
EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION
The requested Change of Zoning from B-2 to Conditional 1-1 will provide the opportunity to develop the
site consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, as set forth in the Lynnhaven
Strategic Growth Area (SGA) Master Plan. The SGA Plan designates the subject site an 'Innovation
Zone,' where "development opportunities for small start-up businesses and technology innovation," (p.
51) will be emphasized, and that is the purpose of the proposed commerce center.
The applicant is proffering that the commerce center will be used by only certain uses allowed as either a
permitted or conditional use. The allowed uses emphasize those that are typical of the 1-1 District, and
though 'business, medical, financial, nonprofit, professional, and similar office buildings' are listed among
those not allowed, offices that are accessory to the principal use are appropriate. Thus, a start-up
business in one of the allowed use categories would still be allowed to have offices for the business, but
CITY OF VIR41N1A BEAdH
LONDON BRIDGE COMMERCE CEN'ER
"Agenda Its 9
{r
Page 3
only accessory to the principal purpose of the business.
Since there is no user for the property at this time, and the purpose of moving forward with this rezoning
at this time is to prepare the site for development while also marketing the site to users appropriate to
APZ-1, the applicant is proffering that the development of the site will be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's design guidelines for suburban development. The site and building designs must
be reviewed by Departments of Economic Development and Planning for compliance with those
guidelines, and ultimately, must be approved by the Zoning Administrator and Planning Director prior to
any permits for development being issued.
Based on staff's evaluation of the request, as provided above.
PROFFERS
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA).
The applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted
these proffers in an attempt to "offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is
acceptable," (§107(h)(1)). Should this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit
Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property as proposed with this change of zoning.
PROFFER 1:
The Property may be used for any of the permitted or conditional uses provided for the 1-1 Light Industrial
District by Section 1001 of the City Zoning Ordinance, except for the following: airports, heliports, and
helistops; animal hospitals, veterinary establishments, pounds, shelters, and commercial kennels;
automobile museums; bars or nightclubs; borrow pits; business, medical, financial, nonprofit,
professional, and similar office buildings; eating and drinking establishments; and wildlife rehabilitation
centers.
PROFFER 2:
The design of the site layout for the Property, as well as the design of any buildings to be constructed on
the Property, shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's "Special Area Development Guidelines
for Suburban Areas." The Zoning Administrator and Planning Director shall determine compliance with
said design guidelines. Review comments from the Department of Economic Development shall be
requested and considered prior to such determination.
PROFFER 3:
Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed Site Plan and/or Subdivision review
and administration of applicable City Codes by all cognizant City agencies and departments to meet all
applicable City Code requirements.
STAFF COMMENTS: The proffers are acceptable. Proffer 1 restricts the site to the uses listed in the
Zoning Ordinance for the I-1 Industrial District as being appropriate to the Greater than 75 AICUZ and
APZ-1. Proffer 2 ensures that any development of the site is consistent with the design guidelines of the
Comprehensive Plan as they apply to the Suburban Area as designated by the Plan. Since the suggested
conceptual layout of this `Innovation Zone' as provided in the Lynnhaven SGA Master Plan is suburban in
character, the Comprehensive Plan's design guidelines for the Suburban Area are more appropriate to
the site than the Comprehensive Plan's design guidelines for the Urban Area. Also, any proposed
CITY OF VIRNIA Bf►CH
LONDON BRIDGE COMMERCE CEN......ER
,44genda It 9
Page. 4
development must not only be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's design guidelines, but also
compliant with the design standards that Economic Development will require of any potential developer of
the property. This will be the same as is required of any potential developer of property located within one

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM ,
ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, An Ordinance to Amend Section 107 of the City
Zonina Ordinance Pertaining to the Acceptance by City Council of
Proffered Conditions that Deviate from Allowable Lot Coverage.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
Currently, Section 107(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance (CZO) states that the City
Council may accept proffers that reasonably deviate from the setback,
landscaping, minimum lot area requirements, and height restrictions of the
zoning district requirements of the CZO (except where height presents a hazard
to air navigation) upon a finding that there will be no significant detrimental
effects on surrounding properties. Additionally, such deviations may not conflict
with the Comprehensive Plan. This provision was added to the CZO in 2013 as
an additional means of encouraging innovative development projects that may
not meet all of the requirements of the CZO, particularly development in the
Strategic Growth Areas.
■ Considerations:
Staffs experience with the amendments since their adoption indicates that they
have succeeded in encouraging potential developers to think of their potential
projects in more innovative ways. The experience has also indicated that another
of the dimensional requirements that has proven to be a problem when
considering innovative development projects is the requirement in several of the
zoning districts pertaining to 'maximum lot coverage.'
The proposed amendments will add 'maximum lot coverage' to the list of items
for which the City Council may allow deviation upon a finding that there will be no
significant detrimental effects on surrounding properties, and that the deviation
will not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
There was no opposition to the proposed amendment.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 10-0, to recommend approval to the City Council.

27 pertinent to the site or the proposed conditions of rezoning adequately offset the
28 negative effects of the deficiency. In addition, the city council may, for good cause
29 shown and upon a finding that there will be no significant detrimental effects on
30 surrounding properties, accept proffered conditions reasonably deviating from the
31 setback, lot coverage, landscaping and minimum lot area requirements and height
32 restrictions, except as provided in Section 202(b), otherwise applicable to the proposed
33 development. No such deviation shall be in conflict with the applicable provisions of the
34 comprehensive plan.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH —
(A) An Ordinance to amend the Comprehensive Plan by adopting
amendments to Chapter 4 (Princess Anne & Transition Area) of the
Policy Document.
(B) An ordinance to amend the Transition Area Design Guidelines and
incorporate them by reference into the Comprehensive Plan.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
On March 12, 2013, City Council adopted a Resolution establishing the
Transition Area (TA) / Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA) Citizens Advisory Committee
(TA/ITA CAC) and setting forth its duties, composition, and terms of office. As per
the resolution, the committee's charge is, in part, "to become familiar with, and
provide advice to the City Council concerning, the provisions and
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan pertaining to the Transition Area
and ITA, including, without limitation, Chapter Four (Princess Anne & Transition
Area), the Transition Area Design Guidelines, the Interfacility Traffic Area and
Vicinity Master Plan, and all future amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and
studies related to the Transition Area or ITA."
Once established, the committee received briefings from various City
departments and the City Attorney's Office for the purpose of gaining knowledge
of the past and current plans and policies for the Transition Area as well as the
zoning and planning framework that the committee had to work within in crafting
new plans or ordinances. After numerous meetings and public input, the
committee drafted preliminary recommendations and presented them in a report
to the Planning Commission on April 18, 2014. Following a Planning Commission
workshop on April 21, 2014, the committee held stakeholder focus group
meetings and a public meeting April 22-30, 2014 to receive input on the draft
recommendations. The committee considered input from the Planning
Commission, focus groups, and public, and prepared final recommendations.
■ Considerations:
The committee's recommendations are in the form of amendments to the
`Comprehensive Plan Policy Document, Chapter 4: Princess Anne and Transition
Area,' and to the `Transition Area Design Guidelines.' More specifically, a more
detailed description and vision statement for the Transition Area are provided,
and development policy recommendations specific to the Transition Area
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH — TRANSITION
AREA AMENDMENTS
Page 2of2
(separate from those set forth for Special Economic Growth Area 4 - Princess
Anne) are added, which address the following: development and uses, design
principles, open space and recreation, and infrastructure. The amendments to
the Transition Area reflect the Policy Document amendments and provide
additional design guidance, illustrations, and an updated Transition Area Open
Space & Trails Network map.
On November 12, 2014, the Planning Commission considered the amendments
during its public hearing. After discussion, the commission, by a vote of 10-1,
indefinitely deferred the amendments. Subsequently, on December 2, 2014, the
City Council adopted a Resolution (attached), referring to the Planning
Commission these amendments and directing the Planning Commission to
transmit to the City Council its recommendation concerning the amendments no
later than 60 days after the date of adoption of the Resolution. Accordingly, on
January 14, 2015, the Planning Commission held a public hearing pertaining to
the proposed amendments as referred to them by the City Council.
There was no opposition to the proposed amendments.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission, by a recorded vote of 11-0, recommends adoption of
the amendments to the City Council with revisions. Those recommended
revisions are included in the attached amendments. An "Errata Sheet" that
summarizes the revisions is included with each amendment document.
■ Attachments:

Princess Anne and the Transition Area are +s strategically located below the "Green Line," between the +Aere
-- es en Suburban Area of the City to the north and the FHFal aFea Rural Area to the south. This area
Femai;s is an important component of the City's overall smart growth land use planning strategy. The "Green
Line" is the boundary between the more densely populated and higher intensity urban and suburban land use
areas of the City to the Perth, which are intended to be served by a full range of public infrastructure and
services, and the less -populated lower density, recreational and rural areas to which are
characterized by an abundance of: natural resources; larger open spaces, including federal, state, and local
parks; and the City's prime agricultural lands.
It is not the intent of this Comprehensive Plan for Princess Anne or the Transition Area to become part of
the urbanized area north of the Green Line. It is not intended that Princess Anne or the Transition Area
be limited to the very low densities appropriate for Rural Area preservation.

Princess Anne & Transition Area
Princess Anne, chew^ ^^ the Reit page consists of what was, in prior Comprehensive Plans, the western
portion of the Transition Area and the North Princess Anne SGA. With the December 2005 amendments
to the Comprehensive Plan, this area was identified as being within the Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA)
high noise zone between NAS Oceana and NALF Fentress. One of the principal effects of this new
designation was to reduce the residential density to what could be achieved by -right with Agricultural
zoning (one unit per 15 acres), due to the incompatibility of residential uses in a high noise zone. A
second effect was an increase in the area owned by the City of Virginia Beach, as the City and U.S. Navy
began a program of purchasing property voluntarily offered to the City. Despite these land use
constraints, the City recognized unique opportunities in this area and developed the ITA and Vicinity
Master Plan to identify the vision for tl* it. The full ITA and Vicinity Master Plan can be found in the
online document library at www.vbgov.com/Planning.
The ITA and Vicinity Master Plan was prepared with effective community involvement to provide
planning policy guidance in the areas of land use, transportation, environmental stewardship,
infrastructure, public service delivery, economic vitality, Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone (AICUZI
compatibility, housing and community design. Specific policies from this plan are provided later in this
chapter. The ITA and Vicinity Master Plan's implementation strategy states that the ITA, which is
regulated by the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance and associated zoning, is an integral part of Princess Anne.
The Master Plan's vision framework continues to move the Princess Anne area forward in a direction
that reflects the area's history, is sensitive to the environment, and acknowledges existing assets alreac
in place for those portions of this special area where the Comprehensive Plan was previously silent or
9
without guidance. More recently adopted land use patterns have now made this area more compatible
with the operations of the airfields in the region. In furtherance of this goal, establishing the entirety of
the area addressed in the ITA and Vicinity Master Plan as "Special Economic Growth Area 4 (SEGA 4) -
Princess Anne" recognizes the land development constraints and economic opportunities associated
with this area's location within a military aircraft overfly zone.
.:� r-:� 9�
Municipal Center - City Hall
Virginia Beach Ampitheater
More specifically, the ITA and Vicinity Master Plan vision prioritizes strengthening development nodes
along the Princess Anne Corridor. In areas where residential uses fall outside of restricted AICUZ zones,
vibrant mixed-use districts are envisioned where people can live, work, and recreate within walking
distance to services and gathering spaces. Because much of the development focuses on concentrated
uses, campus models can create a beautiful, interconnected character for the area. This tradition is
already present in the current Municipal Center, the North Princess Anne Commons, Sportsplex, Sentara
Hospital Complex, and College Campuses. The intent is to reinforce and infill these campuses and to
create new clusters and quadrangles for research and development, religious facilities, and incubator
and medical offices. There was strong support for integrating these centers for research and green
technologies. Thoughtful implementation of this vision will position SEGA 4 — Princess Anne and, thus,
Virginia Beach as a leader in sustainable urban edge economic development. Specific recommendations
for SEGA 4 — Princess Anne are presented later in this chapter.
In sum, the Princess Anne area of the City offers unique education, entertainment, recreation, habitat
preservation, and quality economic development opportunities. The policies of this Comprehensive Plan
have been designed to ensure that Princess Anne continues to be a well-planned area. It is a true jewel
within Vireinia Beach. The ITA aRAd ViGiAitY MaStPff Pla., A be f,,,,,,,- iA the ,,.,r. e ,-961,..- eAt IibFa -„
The remainder of the original Transition Area lies to the east of Princess
Anne. It consists of approximately 5,900 acres and is bounded by Princess Anne and Sandbridge Roads
along the 'Green Line' to the north, North Landing Road and the Princess Anne area border to the west
to tho or;„,.,,« U pp heF deF Indian River Road to the south, and New Bridge Road to the east. (Seemap
n^, The Transition Area is impacted by AICUZ high noise zones to a lesser extent than Princess
Anne and the ITA and, therefore, is more suitable for a limited amount of residential development. It is
characterized by several high quality neighborhoods that include significant open space and recreational
areas including City park facilities, golf courses, public trails, and equestrian centers. Commercial
development is primarily located at major intersections. Some lands remain under cultivation or in
minerals extraction. Approximately 30% of the Transition Area is City-owned parkland or contains soils
that are defined by the City Zoning Ordinance as being undevelopable. The area is served primarily by
rural roads, some of which are proposed to be improved over time, as indicated in the Master
Transportation Plan. Indian River Road is designated as a "State Scenic Byway." Public utilities are
intended to be extended through private development in a phased, orderly manner on a cost-
participation basis.
The western part of the Transition Area is bisected by the City -owned West Neck Creek Park corridor, a
major natural corridor. The eastern part of the Transition Area, east of Princess Anne Road, is low-lying
and prone to flooding from sheet flow, wind -driven tides, increasingly rising waters, and limited
drainage infrastructure. Hydric soils and a high water table limit development opportunities in this area.
The eastern edge of this area is close to the headwaters of Back Bay and the Back Bay National Wildlife
Refuge. Both the West Neck Creek Park corridor and Back Bay help define the Transition Area and
provide unparalleled amenities for those who reside in or visit the area for recreational purposes.
Canoeists in West Neck Creek Park Corridor
Transition Area Roadway Buffer and Public Trail System
Transition Area Neighborhood
The vision framework for the Transition Area is as a distinct place with inherently unique environmental
characteristics and constraints that must be carefully considered when designing for development.
Development policies for the Transition Area are not intended to be a continuation of the higher density
development patterns and form found in the Suburban and Urban Areas to the north. Rather, they
enable a more limited type of development, with its own development standards suitable to the
character of the Transition Area where greater integration of natural resources and more open space is
planned to respect and protect the unique natural character of the area and to enable a true transition
into the Rural Area to the south.
Since the Transition Area is meant to serve as a buffer between the City's Suburban and Rural Areas, it
should provide an apparent visual shift from suburban development character and form to rural
development character and form as one travels from north to south. Therefore, development in the
Transition Area will reflect a noticeable transitional pattern with contiguous and unified open space
throughout also in keeping with the accompanying Transition Area Design Guidelines, which are
adopted by reference as part of this Comprehensive Plan and are available in the online document
library at www.vbgov.com/Planning. These guidelines articulate a high quality, 'Rural Transitional'
design theme unique to the Transition Area vision. The Transition Area policies and Transition Area
Design Guidelines also support the Virginia Beach Outdoors Plan by emphasizing trail connectivity and
preservation of open space, waterways, other natural resources.
Specific policies and general recommendations for the Transition Area are presented later in this
chapter.

The location of North Princess Anne Commons is primarily located southwest of the intersection of Rosemont
Road and Dam Neck Road, east of the single-family residential development of Salem Lakes, north of Landstown
Road, and encompassing the Virginia Beach National Golf Course.
11
The existing land uses in North Princess Anne Commons; comprise an array of public and private
activities including recreational, entertainment, medical, educational, office, and retail. North Princess
Anne Commons includes a variety of academic institutions including Landstown Elementary, Middle, and
High Schools;, -the Virginia Beach Campus of Tidewater Community College,, -the Higher Education
Center for Old Dominion and Norfolk State Universities;,- and the Advanced Technology Center. Land
uses between this academic village and Dam Neck Road include Princess Anne District Park, the Farmers
Market, retail shops, a residential area, a solid waste transfer facility, and the Public Works/Public
Utilities Operations facilities. The southern part of this area includes a medical village, an athletic
village, public parkland and other areas used for outdoor entertainment.
As a prominent'Placemaker' in the City, 'North Princess Anne Commons' not only serves as the principal
gateway to the Virginia Beach Municipal Center and court complex, but it also has become a premier
destination offering the public a wide range of special events and services. For example, North Princess
Anne Commons includes the Virginia Beach Amphitheater;,- Sportsplex,,- Virginia Beach National Golf Course;,- the
National Field Hockey Training Center,,- a regional medical campus with specialized support services, and a
hierarchy of educational facilities that covers elementary to postgraduate studies.
Each village within North Princess Anne Commons aligns with the strategic goals for the area. North Princess
Anne Commons will be the City of Virginia Beach's center for integrated education, research, health care, and
wellness facilities. This destination will continue to offer our citizens and visitors experiences that will enrich
their lives and reaffirms that Virginia Beach is a community for a lifetime.
Information about North Princess Anne Commons, including the Princess Anne Commons Design
Guidelines that affect this area`is available in the online document library at www
vvww.vbgov.com/Planning.
NORTH PRINCESS ANNE COMMONS RECOMMENDATIONS
Preserve and protect the large stand of mature trees at the corner of Princess Anne Road and Dam
Neck Road.
Continue the theme of villages of academic institutions, medical, recreational and
entertainment.
Complete the existing development into a health, education, and research campus
➢ Use landscaping and building placement to create quad -like spaces
➢ Encourage incubator space for biotechnology, biomedical, and research companies
➢ Plan buildings to allow for structured parking to be phased as density increases
➢ Cumulative infrastructure impacts must be studied and the Capital Improvement Program
amended for more intense development than what is considered in the Program Capacity
Ensure well planned high quality economic development opportunities that promote the North
Princess Anne Commons Villages.
12
Conduct a relocation feasibility study on the existing public facility yards located between Rosemont
Road and Princess Anne Road to assess possible alternative uses for this area.
Any redevelopment of the City owned property on the north corner of Princess Anne Road and Dam
Neck Road should advance the City's goal of achieving the academic and medical villages. Should the
City decide to redevelop the existing Farmers Market site, careful consideration must be part of the
decision making process to determine the type, size and location(s) of similar'farm-to-market' and
affiliated activities, thereby ensuring optimal economic benefit for farmers and others participants.
r Adhere to the Design Guidelines for Princess Anne Commons.
Direct private access to Princess Anne Road will not be permitted except when the property in
question has no other reasonable access to the circulation system as it is part of the City's
Access Controlled road network, identified on page 6-8.
Program Capacity:
y Potential for 100,000 square feet of retail

Operation Smile World Headquarters
CENTRAL PRINCESS ANNE COMMONS
Landstown Commons Retail Center
The location of Central Princess Anne Commons is generally south of the Virginia Beach National Golf
Course to just north of North Landing Road. The existing land uses in the Central Princess Anne
Commons Area are primarily rural residential, forested, and cultivated land located within an area of
several constraints including floodplain and jet noise levels exceeding 75 DNL.
13
CENTRAL PRINCESS ANNE COMMONS RECOMMENDATIONS
Adhere to the Design Guidelines for Princess Anne Commons.
Limit maximum residential density to that allowed 'By right' under existing zoning.
The core area of Central Princess Anne Commons offers an opportunity for quality corporate office,
institutional, research, and similar facilities. The majority of the existing parcels within the 'core' are
larger than parcels fronting on Landstown and Salem Roads, offering good opportunities for quality
development. This Plan recommends that individual properties in the core should be consolidated to
create significant development sites (greater than 15 acres) appropriate for such development.
Suitable roadway and utility infrastructure must be available prior to development of this type.
Light industrial uses, including business incubator and flex office/warehouse uses, are
appropriate in areas outside of designated 'Special Areas' identified in the Interfacility Traffic
Area and Vicinity Master Plan.
With the close proximity of North Princess Anne Commons, this area is appropriate for
additional recreational uses.
The area outside of the 'core' is recommended for continued by -right agricultural, equestrian,
and rural residential uses. Where parcels in this area are greater than 15 acres, quality office,
research or similar development is acceptable if adequate infrastructure and services are
available.
Acquisition of properties from willing sellers within Central Princess Anne Commons is
recommended consistent with the Oceana Land Use Conformity program.
SOUTH PRINCESS ANNE COMMONS
A major natural area is located along North Landing River where our City boundary adjoins that of
Chesapeake. This area should be preserved and enhanced, as needed, to protect this natural resource.
Stumpy Lake
Showcase Natural Resources
14
SOUTH PRINCESS ANNE COMMONS RECOMMENDATIONS
Promote acquisition of land from willing sellers along the corridor of the North Landing River and its
tributaries to protect valued natural resources and increase participation in the Navy's 'Encroachment
Partnering' program.
Land uses in the area should be limited to the existing natural resource base, by -right rural
residential, and agricultural and related activities.
A study of the potential use of this area as a major park or preserve should be conducted with
park development to follow, if feasible.
HISTORIC PRINCESS ANNE CENTER
Historic Princess Anne Center includes the Virginia Beach Municipal Center/ Court Complex and the
surrounding environs. In addition to being the seat of our City government and court system, this
Center includes the Princess Anne Historic and Cultural Zoning Overlay District, a line of established
homes along North Landing Road and numerous small businesses and offices. The City owns much of
the land located outside the restricted noise zones in the northwestern area of this center. This historic
center is where Princess Anne Road meets Nimmo Parkway. Both are major roadways and integral parts of
the City's transportation system. The importance of this area as a strategic crossroads in central Virginia Beach
will continue to grow into the foreseeable future.
Historic Princess Anne Center is planned to expand its role as a highly attractive destination with a
balanced blend of residential, commercial and open spaces to complement the form and function of the
Municipal Center, Court Complex and Historic District. While it will continue to serve as a gateway
between the urban north and the rural south, this center will experience new and improved land uses
that will enhance the character of this important and historic area that is the seat of our municipal
government.
HISTORIC PRINCESS ANNE CENTER RECOMMENDATIONS
The following specific recommendations apply to the Historic Princess Anne Center area.
Planned land uses, both public and private, should be compatible with those found in the
municipal center and court complex and, where appropriate, may include residential, office,
retail, service, hotel and institutional uses.
Expand coverage of the Princess Anne Historic and Cultural District to include all of the Historic
Princess Anne Center.
New residential developments should include a reasonable amount of workforce housing units,
consistent with related City policies.
The use, intensity and design of infill development along North Landing Road should reflect the
existing character of the Princess Anne Historic and
Cultural District.
All projects proposed within the Princess Anne Historic and Cultural District must respect the heritage
and reinforce the integrity of the district's historic character. The scale, placement, massing and
proportion of buildings, additions and architectural details should be designed in a way that is
consistent with the historic character of this district.
Ensure that new development in and outside the Princess Anne Historic and Cultural District
employs high quality site and building designs that complement the classic Neo -Georgian
architecture of the municipal center.
15
Integrate carefully planned landscaping and open spaces.
The design of new or improved roadways located within or approaching this Center must reflect
exceptional quality in keeping the character of this historic area.
Improve mobility by limiting roadway access points along arterials and adhere to the
recommendations of the Princess Anne Corridor Study (document available in the online
document library at www.vbgov.com/Planning).
Direct private access to Princess Anne Road will not be permitted except when the property in
question has no other reasonable access to the circulation system as it is part of the City's
Access Controlled road network, identified on page 6-8.

INTERFACILITY TRAFFIC AREA
The Interfacility Traffic Area (ITA) is a product of the Hampton Roads Joint Land Use Study and the City's
Oceana Land Use Conformity program. The ITA was created in 2005 to address land use compatibility
issues associated with frequent overflights of military jets in this part of the City. The boundary of the
ITA generally overlaps 'The Princess Anne Commons' and includes portions of the Transition Area
impacted by noise zones at or greater than 65 DNL. The planning policies affecting the ITA have been
carefully written to achieve compliance with the provisions of the City's adopted Oceana Land Use
Conformity program.
The entire Interfacility Traffic Area is subject to certain development limitations due to jet noise
restrictions and must be carefully planned to achieve a coherent and compatible land use pattern. Of
the roughly 4400 acres within this special area, less than half are developable due to the presence of
water, wetlands, existing development or other constraints.
The Southeastern Parkway is planned to traverse the ITA in a northeast to southwest direction and will
include interchanges at Princess Anne and Indian River Roads.
INTERFACILITY TRAFFICAREA RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to the General Recommendations for the Transition Area, see below, the following specific
recommendations apply to the Interfacility Traffic Area:
Adhere to the provisions of the Oceana Land Use Compatibility and AICUZ programs that
include:
• Limiting maximum residential density to that allowed 'By right' under existing zoning.
• Promote business growth that aligns with the City's economic growth strategy and conforms to the
Oceana Land Use Conformity program.
• Promote acquisition of land from willing sellers along the corridor of the North Landing River
and its tributaries to protect valued natural resources and increase participation in the
Navy's 'Encroachment Partnering' program.
Properties within the Interfacility Traffic Area located south of the proposed Southeastern
Parkway that front on Princess Anne Road are planned for office, educational, institutional
and other AICUZ compatible uses. Parcels should be consolidated to provide more attractive,
well planned, and efficient use of land. Such unified development should utilize reverse
frontage access with internal roadway links to existing points of access on Princess Anne Road
or, where available, by connecting to other tracts of land that afford access to Nimmo
Parkway. No new access points to Princess Anne Road are recommended for properties that
develop in this unified fashion.
Complete right-of-way acquisitions needed to build the Southeastern Parkway.
Ensure that future infill uses within the Princess Anne Commons complement the activity and
quality of existing public venues.
Direct private access to Nimmo Parkway or Princess Anne Road will not be permitted except
when the property in question has no other reasonable access to the circulation system as it is
part of the City's Access Controlled road network, identified on page 6-8.

TRANSITION AREA
The policies for the Transition Area support the Urban and Suburban Areas growth pattern goals and
redevelopment opportunities in the area to the north above the Green Line, and the Rural Area
preservation goals affecting the area to the south below Indian River Road. The Transition Area policies
also support the goals of the Southern Watershed Area Monogement Plan, and the City's AICUZ zoning

TRANSITION AREA: GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
To enable the vision framework and policies for the Transition Area, all new development and
redevelopment in the Transition Area should adhere to the following general recommendations and the
Transition Area Design Guidelines.
Development & Uses:
Development should be creative and of high quality.
Uses should be limited to low -impact low-density residential low -intensity non-residential,
open space and recreational and agricultural including row -crop farming and equestrian uses.
Uses should necessitate limited roadway improvements (e.g., turn lanes).
For residential development a maximum average calculated density of no more than one unit
per acre of land that may be included in determining allowable dwelling unit or lodging unit
density can be earned through demonstrated conformance with the Transition Area Design
Guidelines.
Minimum lot sizes of 15,000 square feet are preferred. Lots sizes less than 15,000 square feet
are appropriate if additional active open space location recommendations as set forth in the
Transition Area Design Guidelines are incorporated into the site design.
Non-residential uses should be neighborhood -serving, scaled to support the needs of nearby
residential neighborhoods users of the Transition Area's open space and recreational areas, and
agricultural users.
Non-residential uses should be located at major roadway intersections or, if as part of a mixed
use plan of development located at the entrance to the neighborhood or interior to the
neighborhood around a central green or open space.
Development within floodplains is strongly discouraged.
Ensure all development proposals conform to the provisions of the Oceana Land Use Conformity
Program and AICUZ provisions in the Zoning Ordinance the Southern Watersheds Area
Management Plan and Ordinance and all other applicable development regulations.
Design Principles:
r Design with nature using low -impact development techniques and creative design to minimize
impervious surfaces protect natural resource areas and open spaces, address stormwater
management requirements, and optimize site amenities.
➢ Open space should be deliberately included and designed as a site amenity in all development.
➢ Stormwater management techniques should be designed as site amenities and retention areas
and should not be isolated behind buildings.
➢ Protect historic structures and sites and incorporate them into site design either through
preservation or adaptive reuse. Such extant structures and sites are reminders of the rural
heritage and character of this part of the City.
s Residential and non-residential use design should reflect a "Rural Transitional" architectural
theme (refer to the Transition Area Design Guidelines for examples).
v When developing in proximity to a designated "Special Place" (e.g., Municipal Center, Historic
Nimmo Church Pungo Village and the Ecological Awareness Center at Back Bay), incorporate
design elements that are contextually relevant to that Place to ensure compatibility (refer to
Transition Area Design Guidelines for "Special Place" locations and descriptions).
27
For residential development parcel consolidation is encouraged to enable larger development
sites that can be designed creatively.
Transition Area Neighborhood
Transition Area Business
Neighborhood -serving business with context -sensitive
design
Neighborhood -serving retail in Historic Nimmo Church
area
Non-residential site design should focus on providing an attractive streetscape view into the site
from the roadway.
➢ Parking areas should be situated behind or on the side of buildings and should incorporate
landscaping throughout the parking areas to enable bio -retention of stormwater runoff.
➢ Signage should be complementary in scale and style to the use, constructed of high quality and
long-lasting materials, and externally -illuminated.
Fencing should be of an open style to create or maintain a sense of open space throughout the
Transition Area.
Open Space and Recreation:
For residential development SO% of the gross area of the subject property should be designed
to provide a practical balance of both "active" and "passive" open space areas, which should
each be clearly designated on the development plan.
28
For non-residential development 30% of the gross area of the subject property should be
designed as open space and clearly designated on the development plan. Such open space
should not be limited to stormwater management facilities.
A well-planned system of multi-purpose public trails should be included in all development to
provide non-vehicular mobility, recreational opportunities and connectivity to the larger
Transition Area Open Space and Trails Network. A balance of both "primary" and "secondary"
trails should be provided and clearly designated on the development plan.
Open space and recreational areas trailway design and connections should be designed to help
implement the Transition Area Open Space and Trails Network and the goals of the City of
Virginia Beach Outdoors Plan Roadway buffers should be designated along selected roadways
(as shown on the "Transition Area Open Space and Trails Network" plan/map in the Transition
Area Design Guidelines) containing both landscaping and a primary public multi-purpose trail
within a public access easement to provide for screening of development and to promote trail
connectivity throughout the Transition Area. These buffers may be used for open space and
residential density calculations.

Infrastructure:
➢ All development in the Transition Area should be considered relative to its impact on current
and planned infrastructure and to other discretionary development proposals. Many roads in
the Transition Area are presently 2 -lane rural roads. Improvements are contingent on necessity
and sufficient capital funding.
➢ Connection to public sanitary sewer and water is preferred. However, if a parcel is proposed to
be served by a private septic system or an alternative on-site sewage system (AOSS), ensure that
the lot area is of sufficient size and soil suitability to install a replacement system in case of
original system failure.
➢ Public utilities service extension should be incremental and in an orderly fashion.
➢ Development should respect the Master Transportation Plan by providing reservations or
dedications for planned road improvements.
➢ Incorporate stormwater management into project design according to state stormwater
management regulations Use a systems approach to stormwater management, incorporating a
ranee of stormwater management techniques. Wherever feasible, consider multi -site or
regional stormwater management facilities and design them as site amenities.

1. PURPOSE AND LOCATION
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide development and design guidance in
conformance with the vision and land use policies for the Transition Area of the
Comprehensive Plan. The objective is to encourage innovation and creativity in the
appropriate design of buildings and sites so that all development and redevelopment in this
unique area of the City will be respectful of its natural heritage and historical legacy and
sensitive to its environmental value. This will result in a pleasant, supportive built
environment reflective of the traditional rural development patterns of Virginia Beach in its
Transition Area
physical form and appearance. Unless specified, these design guidelines apply to all
proposed development and redevelopment to enable the means by which development can
comply with the vision for the Transition Area as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
01/14/2015 Page 3 of 34
Location
The Transition Area lies east of Special
Economic Growth Area 4 - Princess Anne.
It consists of approximately 5,900 acres
and is defined by its boundary to the
north by the 'Green Line' along Princess
Anne and Sandbridge Roads and to the
west_by North Landing Road and the
Princess Anne SEGA 4 border and to the
south by Indian River Road and to the
east by New Bridge Road. The Transition
Area serves as a unique land use area
buffering the low density Rural Area from
the more densely developed Suburban
Area. It does this by promoting
development patterns and policies that
are limited in scope and designed
according to specific standards.
Development will be encouraged to aggregate density in areas served by adequate roads
and public utilities and to reduce density in environmentally sensitive areas. By employing
creative planning and techniques, these development guidelines will provide a pattern that
emphasizes flexible community planning with a greater integration of open space and
natural resources that respect and protect the unique natural character of the area,
enabling a true transition into the Rural Area to the south. In so doing, the vision will be
fulfilled that the Transition Area not be a continuation of the higher density development
patterns and forms found in the Suburban and Urban Areas to the north.

2. DEVELOPMENT & USES
2.1 Development should be creative and of high quality.
2.2 Uses should be limited to low -impact, low-density residential, low -intensity non-
residential, open space and recreational, and agricultural, including row -crop farming
and equestrian uses.
2.2.a. Development abutting agricultural operations should locate protective buffers
between the proposed development and the agricultural land. These buffers
should be at least 50 feet in width. The first 25 feet closest to the agricultural
operations should be heavily planted with a mixture of grasses and low growing
indigenous shrubs. The remaining 25 feet near the proposed development should
be planted with a double row of trees with a minimum caliper of one and one half
(%2) inches and should be centered no more than thirty feet apart. Such trees
should be indigenous and consist of a mixture of 25% deciduous and 75%
evergreen to screen as necessary or to provide scenic vistas. Seasonal changes
and foliage color should be thought of when selecting planting materials.
01/14/2015 Page 6 of 34
2.3 Uses should require limited roadway improvements (e.g., turn lanes).
2.4 For residential development, a maximum average calculated density of no more than
one unit per acre of land that may be included in determining allowable dwelling unit or
lodging unit density through a demonstrated conformance with the 'Transition Area
Development Matrix'.
2.4.a. Minimum lot sizes of 15,000 square feet are preferred. Lots sizes less than 15,000
square feet may be appropriate if the following additional consideration is given to
active open space are met. The definition of 'active open space' is found in Section
5.1.
Distance to active open space should be located within one-half (.5) mile of
every dwelling lot.
Each lot should be located to maximize views of the open space.
� Lots should be of various sizes and arranged in a contiguous manner so as to
maximize remaining land for use as open space or preservation of natural
features.
2.4.b. Flag lots should be provided, where warranted, to advance the purpose of the
vision of the Transition Area, taking into consideration the size of the lots within
the subdivision, existing or future tree cover and other pertinent characteristics
01/14/2015 Page 7 of 34
relating to the need for rural residential privacy and open space. Driveways
serving flag lots should have appropriate widths and pavement types (e.g. fire
truck access).
2.4.c. The opportunity for agricultural, equestrian and similar compatible rural activities
as part of the residential development should be maximized.
2.4.d. Fragmenting or dividing remaining farmland and open space into small parcels
should be avoided.
2.5 Non-residential uses should be neighborhood -serving, scaled to support the needs of
nearby residential neighborhoods, users of the Transition Area's open space and
recreational areas, and agricultural users. Neighborhood -serving center should be
located so that the design of its site can integrate the surrounding characteristics of the
land and the residential development pattern. The site design should provide residents
the opportunity and convenience of non -vehicular access within the development such
as walking instead of being limited to getting into their cars. Regional -serving
destination uses should be avoided because of the additional burden on the local
transportation network of rural roads.
2.6 Non-residential uses should be located at major roadway intersection or, if as part of a
mixed use plan of development, located at the entrance to the neighborhood or interior
to the neighborhood around a central green or open space.
01/14/2015 Page 8 of 34
2.7 Development within floodplains is strongly discouraged.
2.8 Ensure all development proposals conform to the provisions of the Oceana Land Use
Conformity Program and AICUZ provisions in the Zoning Ordinance, the Southern Rivers
Ordinance and all other applicable development regulations.
3. DESIGN PRINCIPLES
3.1 Design should be with nature using low -impact development techniques and creative
design to minimize impervious surfaces, protect natural resource areas and open spaces,
address stormwater management requirements, and optimize site amenities.
3.1.a. In those cases where development is
proposed within areas of existing tree
cover, design the placement of buildings
and driveways so as to save and protect as
many trees and other significant
environmental features as possible.
East entrance to Villages of West Neck with
existing tree cover
3.2 Open space should be deliberately included and designed as a site amenity in all
development. (See more under Section S Open Space and Recreation of this document.)
3.2.a. Preservation of interesting landscape
features and scenic viewsheds, such as
mature tree stands, natural areas, waterway
corridors, wetlands, water features,
hedgerows; and agricultural features, such as
premier farmland, field patterns, and historic
structures that recall the rural heritage are
encouraged and should be incorporate into
the design of entrances and other prominent —
areas in the development.
01/14/2015 Page 9 of 34
3.3 Stormwater management techniques should be designed as site amenities and
retention areas and should not be isolated behind buildings.
3.3.a. Open space may be designed to address stormwater management, but it should
not be limited to stormwater management faciliti
Open space used for stormwater management in Mathews Green
01/14/2015 Page 10 of 34
3.3.b. Undeveloped wooded areas retention ponds bio -retention areas, and wetlands
may be used for stormwater management. However, in all cases, they should be
preserved or designed as amenities.
3.4 Historic structures and sites should be protected and incorporated into site design,
either through preservation or adaptive reuse. Such extant structures and sites are
reminders of the rural heritage and character of this part of the City.
3.5 Residential and non-residential use design should reflect a "Rural Transitional'
architectural theme. Rural Transitional is defined as featuring certain architectural
treatments that take cues from local farm buildings, hunting clubhouses and other
examples that reflect the architectural heritage and agrarian character of southern
Virginia Beach and that demonstrate a change from the design of development north of
the Green Line. Architectural features may include large, open wraparound porches,
pitched roof lines cross -gabled front gabled or front -to -back main gabled roof forms
and detached or side -loading garages. Beyond these architectural features, the Rural
Transitional theme extends to building materials, site design and landscaping forms that
are reflective of the existing traditional rural character. This transitional style can work if
scale and building materials are compatible. Examples of Residential and Non -
Residential Rural Transitional can be found below.
3.5.a Replicas of historic designs should be avoided since they diminish significance of
the originals. Architectural themes such as "Coastal" or "Beach" are generally not
appropriate.
i. Residential Design - Houses should be arranged and streets should be aligned in
ways that create or adapt to the natural setting and are not limited to a typical
regimented grid -like urban pattern. Homes should be designed to convey
sense of outward connection to the land and community b facing streets and
other homes. This connection should be enhanced by providing attractive
landscaping between the streets and home sites, frame open spaces, and
01/14/2015 Page 11 of 34
robustly screen development along major streets and road frontages. Typically
have a roof form to the front and a partial or full -width frontporch.
Examples of Residential Rural Transitional Architecture
This example of early 20th Century
vernacular, located on Princess Anne
Road and south of Sandbridge Road,
presents simple features in a four square
style. While not limited to this style,
contemporary designs tastefully evoking
these features would fit within the
concept of rural transitional.

ii. Non -Residential Design - Development should be designed to complement the
surrounding rural character in terms of size, scale, architecture, and selection of
materials. It should not be like the non-residential development north of the
Green Line.
• Buildings should be kept low in scale, a maximum of 2 stories, and should have
a footprint of no more than 10,000 square feet. Clusters of free-standing small
shops and offices that encourage pedestrian movement over vehicular
movement or front on a central green are also appropriate.
• Building exteriors should express architectural fenestration.
• Buildings can be made visually interesting and compatible by the use of
setbacks, traditional building material and architectural features like projections
and varying rooflines of dormers and overhangs.
• Visible roof forms (hips, gables, and gambrels, etc.) commonly present on small-
scale rural office and commercial structures are encouraged. Flat roofs are
generally not appropriate.
• Building construction should adhere to sound environmental principles that
include energy-efficient design.
• Franchise development should respect the community character and should be
designed for compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.

3.6 For residential development, parcel consolidation is encouraged to enable larger
development sites that can be designed creatively.
3.7 Non-residential site design should focus on providing an attractive streetscape view into
the site from the roadway.
3.7.a Development should be screened with substantial setbacks with landscaping
berms, trees, buffers and trails. When located along arterial roadways, screening
should be designed along the road with parkway or greenway features that are
heavily landscaped, or retain existing natural features that provide a scenic view
from the roadway.
3.8 Parking areas should be situated behind or on the side of buildings and should
incorporate landscaping throughout the parking areas to enable bio -retention of
stormwater runoff.
3.8.a With appropriate design and site placement, shared parking arrangements
between uses can be realized.
3_9 Signage should be complementary in scale and style to the use, constructed of high
quality and long-lasting materials, and externally -illuminated.

4. SPECIAL PLACES
When developing in proximity to a designated "Special Place" (e.g., Municipal Center
Historic Nimmo Church Pungo Village and the Ecological Awareness Center at Back
Bay) design elements should be incorporated that are contextually relevant to that
Place to ensure compatibility. There are four distinct Special Places that link with the
Transition Area. Each place contributes unique design characteristics and its own
architecture and landscaping style
4.1 Municipal Center - The Municipal Center of Virginia Beach is centrally located within
the Courthouse Historical and Cultural District. Its primary contributing historic
resource is the Old Princess Anne County Courthouse. Constructed during 1823, the
two-story structure of Flemish bond brick with a denticulated cornice has a hipped
roof of slate tile and Tuscan columns that stand two stories to support the front
portico Preserving the character around the historic courthouse section of the
Municipal Center requires retaining the shady tree lined approaches to the historic
site The crossroads character of this courthouse and the adiacent commercial at the
intersection of Princess Anne Road and North Landing Road should be preserved by
maintaining the present scale and buildings relationship to the street.

Other styles of architecture found in this
area are primarily Neo -Georgian buildings
arranged in a campus style along grid
streets that give a more formal approach
to the manicured grounds. Some
transitional architecture is introduced at
the opposite end of the municipal campus
from the historic courthouse. This
transitional style can work if scale and
building materials are compatible.

Example of Neo -Georgian style near the Municipal Center
The use of brick remains the dominant
character of the Municipal Center while
wood siding is apparent on most of the
older homes in the area. The surrounding
residential character comes from the
Emu
expansive front yards and large trees which
evokes an earlier time in our city's heritage
as exemplified in this photograph.

4.2 Nimmo Center
Nimmo Center is located in an Historical and Cultural District and contains one of
the first post -revolutionary churches established in the area as well as one of the
oldest Methodist churches in continuous use today. Nimmo United Methodist
Church is a two-story wood frame structure with wood clapboard siding. This church
consists of an open nave plan with a protecting steeple and little ornamentation

Church's important rural country character is
desirable as a buffer from suburban
development to the north. Development in
this area should not be of Georgian influence
since the Church is not of this style. Brick
should not be the dominant material in this
area since the church is a wood clad frame

building. No new building should be taller than the gable end of the church to allow
the steeple to be viewed. Contemporary or traditional buildings that are compatible
in scale, form, massing, and materials are acceptable. All existing wooded areas
should remain wooded. These woods protect the feeling of rural character that is
part of the significance of this church as well as act as buffers to the development
that is occurring.
4.3 Pungo Center
Pungo Center is a rural crossroads community with convenience stores, gas stations,
an antique store, and restaurants. Munden's Store best represents the original rural
character of this area and is an example of the vernacular tradition found in
southern Virginia Beach. This style relies on simple forms with little or no
ornamentation.

Residential architecture primarily found in the Pungo Center is depicted by the early to
mid -twentieth century craftsman cottage style of the small bungalow type dwellings
found in this area. Located on Princess Anne Road is an example of a mail order
craftsman style dwelling. As shown in the illustration and photograph below, this home
is identified as an Aladdin

To enhance the historic nature of Pungo Center, shops should be brought to the road with
parking oriented behind buildings away from Princess Anne Road or screened if located on
the side of buildings. Access points from the roadway should be minimized and, where
possible combined. Locating parking in the rear can also encourage pedestrian activity.
Further encouragement can come from reducing setbacks to allow direct connections
between sidewalks and storefront entrances. These connections should provide safe and
attractive pedestrian connections and a continuous link throughout the center with a
minimum of vehicular conflict points. While there is no one particular dominant style in this
small commercial/residential place the scale proportion and general character of buildings
should evoke a design vocabulary reminiscent of turn of the century architecture.
Commercial uses should include bungalow -style architectural elements of low-pitched
gabled roofs decorative brackets under the gables, wide, overhanging eaves with exposed
rafters incised porches beneath the main roof, handcrafted stone or woodwork. The
dominant residential look should complement the Craftsman -style bungalows by using the
existing Aladdin Readi-Cut kit home as an example. All landscaping should be with designed
with native plant materials.

4.4 Environmental Education Center at Back Bay
The Environmental Education Center at Back Bay is
proposed as a gateway to some of the city's natural
heritage areas. The Back Bay National Wildlife
Refuge, as part of their Comprehensive Conservation
Plan (CCP) dated September 2010, proposes to
construct a new headquarters, visitor center, and
environmental education center to be located at the

corner of New Bridge and Sandbridge Road that comprises approximately 61.5 acres. In
addition this center will have a multi-purpose trail system that will allow for wildlife
observation, photography, and self -guided and personal service interpretation via
interpretive disolays. Once this new facilitv is built, it would become the primary
environmental education facility. This
proposed public use area is expected to
serve more than 150,000 visitors annually.
To accommodate this new center, a
realignment of New Bridge Road is
proposed. This location would be centrally
located to all Refuge property and assets
and would address a concern that facilities
should be more accessible to the public and
closer to the center of town. The current
office would be maintained and improve as a
primary visitor contact facility and possible
gift store.

5. OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION
5.1 For residential development 50% of the gross area of the subiect property should be
designed to provide a practical balance of both 'active' and 'passive' open space, which
should each be clearly designated on the development plan. Open space should be
designed in accordance with the definitions below.
5.1.a. Active Open Space• Space that is programmed for active use, such as
neighborhood parks playgrounds community pools, clubhouses / community
centers ball fields or other play fields golf courses, historic structures open to
the public and exercise biking or horse riding trails. It should be useable, visible
and easily accessible from residences by multi-purpose trails or sidewalks.
5.1.b. Passive Open Space• Can include environmentally -sensitive areas (stream
corridors, estuaries, wetlands,
mature tree stands of native
vegetation/undeveloped
woodlands, aquifer recharge
areas, floodplains, soils
classified as having high water
tables, soils classified as highly
erodible, land incapable of
meeting percolation
requirements, and land
formerly used for borrow
operations and filled with water) agricultural uses, and scenic vistas. Where
appropriate walking trails can be located within passive open space areas.
Passive open space may be designed to address stormwater management.
01/14/2015 Page 25 of 34
5.1.c. Development plans should designate open space as active, passive, public, or
private. The maintenance responsibility for
each facility should be established prior to
construction. Public designation refers to
facilities to be used for a bona fide public
purpose conducted by a public agency
through ownership or bV easement. Private
designation refers to facilities to be used and
operated for the benefit of members of an
incorporated or unincorporated association
for a community, such as an homeowners
association, and not open to the general
public.
I PRESERVATION
AREA
r
Desiqnated open space in Mathews Green
5.1.d. Land for open space purposes should be protected through the use of a variety of
legal instruments, such as deed restrictions, appropriate zoning classifications,
protective easements or transfer to a stewardship agency (e.g. foundations or
conservation groups), or through some other appropriate means.
5.1.e. Active open space should be integrated throughout the development for ease of
access and use and not isolated.
5.1.f. Open space can be designed to include public plazas and public art.
5.2 For non-residential development. 30% of the gross area of the subiect property should
be designed as open space and clearly designated on the development plan. Such open
ce should not be limited to stormwater management facilities.
5.2.a. Parking lot landscape islands should not be considered open space.
5.3 A well-planned system of multi-purpose public trails should be included in all
development to provide non -vehicular mobility, recreational opportunities, and
connectivity to the larger Transition Area Open Space and Trails Network. A practical
01/14/2015 Page 26 of 34
balance of both 'primary' and 'secondary' trails should be provided and clearly
designated on the development plan.
5.3.a. Primary Trails — Public asphalt trails within roadside buffer areas. A public
easement will be required to be dedicated only if the buffer area is not dedicated
to the city. Primary trails are maintained by the city.
5.3.b. Secondary Trails — Public asphalt trails located on property owned by Home
Owner Associations (HOA) or other neighborhood ownership entities within a
development. A public easement will be required to be dedicated to the City. The
easement agreement states that maintenance of secondary trails is the
responsibility of the HOA or other neighborhood ownership entity.
5.3.c. Non—residential development should be connected to other non-residential areas
and residential areas via multi- purpose trails to encourage non -vehicular mobility
throughout the Transition Area.
01/14/2015
Page 27 of 34
5.3.d. Multi-purpose trails should connect residential areas as well as connect to non-
residential areas in order to enhance non -vehicular mobility.
5.4 Open space and recreational areas, trailway design, and connections should be designed
to help implement the Transition Area Open Space and Trails Network (plan/map) and
the goals of the Virginia Beach Outdoors Plan (see Appendix B 'Transition Area Open
Space and Trails Network' map).

5.4.a. When developing adjacent to the West Neck Creek Natural Area, design elements,
such as multi-purpose trail connections and observation decks, should be
incorporated that allow opportunities for enjoyment of the area while being
sensitive to its environmental characteristics.
01/14/2015 Page 29 of 34
5.5 Roadway buffers should be designated along selected roadways (see Appendix B
Transition Area Open Space and Trails Network map) containing both landscaping and a
Primary public multi-purpose trail within a public access easement, to provide for
screening of development and to promote trail connectivity throughout the Transition
Area. These buffers may be used for open space and residential density calculations.
5.5.a. For Residential Development, the buffer should be designated on the
development side and have a width of 150 feet with robust landscaping.

5.5.b. For Non-residential Development, a 50 -foot buffer with robust landscaping
should be designated along selected roadways

6. INFRASTRUCTURE
6.1 All development in the Transition Area should be considered relative to its
impact on current and planned infrastructure and to other discretionary
development proposals. Many roads in the Transition Area are presently 2 -lane
rural roads. Improvements are contingent on necessity and sufficient capital
funding.
6.2 Connection to public sanitary sewer and water are preferred, However, if a
parcel is proposed to be served by a private septic system or an alternative on-
site sewage system (AOSS), the lot area should be of sufficient size and soil
suitability to install a replacement system in case of original system failure.
6.3 Public utilities service extension should be incremental and in an orderly fashion
6.4 Development should respect the Master Transportation Plan by providing
reservations or dedications for planned road improvements.
6.5 Stormwater management should be incorporated into project design according
to state stormwater management regulations. A systems approach to
stormwater management could be used, incorporating a range of stormwater
management techniques. Wherever feasible, consider multi -site or regional
stormwater management facilities and design them as site amenities.

APPENDIX A: TRANSITION AREA MATRIX
Residential density for anv Change of Zoning within the Transition Area under the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan is a maximum average calculated density of no more than one unit per acre of
land that may be included in determining allowable dwelling unit density, which is earned through
demonstrated conformance with the Transition Area Design Guidelines (Page 4 -XX, Policy
Document). Part of the evaluation as to whether 'conformance with the Transition Area Design
Guidelines' has been demonstrated is an assessment of the proposed development using the
Evaluative Criteria provided below, which are based on the Transition Area Design Guidelines. Staff
will 'score' the proposed development for its consistency with the Evaluative Criteria below. The
scores are then combined and the total is inserted into the formula below to determine the
recommended maximum density for the development.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH — (1) An Ordinance to Amend Section 502 of the
City Zoning Ordinance Pertaining to Setbacks Adjacent to the Atlantic
Ocean in the R-511 Zoning District. (2) An Ordinance Establishing
Transition Rules for the Review of Site Plans, Subdivision Plats, and Other
Plans of Development for Setbacks on Property Adjacent to the Public
Beach of the Atlantic Ocean in the R -5R Zoning District.
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
On January 6, the City Council deferred this item to the January 20 meeting,
requesting that Staff prepare Transition Rules for the proposed ordinance
amendment. The ordinance establishing Transition Rules has been drafted and
is attached.
Section 502 of the City Zoning Ordinance currently requires a 30 -foot setback
from the Atlantic Ocean for all structures, except in -ground swimming pools:
As an exception, the minimum setback in any yard adjacent to the Atlantic
Ocean for any structures, except in -ground swimming pools, shall be 30
feet in the R -5R District.
Occasionally, however, there has been confusion about from where on the lot the
required setback should be measured or whether the setback is even required.
For example, the existence of a 150 -foot wide unimproved right-of-way east of
the oceanfront lots from 58th Street to 89th Street has often been a source of
confusion, as the lots are adjacent to that right-of-way.
■ Considerations:
To clarify this issue, the proposed amendment clarifies the setback from the
`Atlantic Ocean' in the R -5R Residential Resort District applicable to the
oceanfront lots from 58th Street to 89th Street. The amendment makes it clear
that the 30 -foot setback applies even if there is an unimproved right-of-way or
bulkhead between the lot and the Atlantic Ocean.
The proposed amendment was reviewed with the North Beach Civic League,
which supports this clarification.
There was no opposition to the request.
AMENDMENT — SETBACK FROM OCEAN

■ 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 the proposed
amendment to the City Council.

50 These transition rules will allow projects that have been submitted but not approved to
51 continue through the approval process. Thus, if a project was submitted last week with a 20 foot
52 setback on the public beach, it could continue through the process without being amended to 30
53 feet. This would continue for 180 days. If it was not approved within 180 days, it would then have
54 to be amended to meet the new 30 foot setback.

56 BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIRGINIA
57 BEACH, VIRGINIA:
58
59 That nothing in this ordinance shall be construed to affect any vested rights
60 which existed as of the effective date of the Ordinance.
Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, on the day

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Resolution re Simon Acquisition II, LLC Application for Comprehensive
Plan Consistency Review
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2015
■ Background:
On December 10, 2014, Simon Acquisition II, LLC (Simon) submitted an
application, pursuant to Virginia Code Section 15.2-2232, to the Planning
Commission for Comprehensive Plan consistency review regarding vehicular
access to a proposed 350,000 square foot retail outlet mall located in the City of
Virginia Beach. The Code provision requires the Commission to act within 60
days from the date the application is submitted or the application is deemed to
have been approved, but also provides that the time may be extended by the City
Council.
■ Considerations:
Under the aforesaid Code provision and given the regular meeting schedule of
the Planning Commission, the item would have to be acted upon by the
Commission at its meeting of January 14, barely one month after the application
was filed. Because of the complexity of the matter, that amount of time is
inadequate for the Planning Department to properly review and evaluate the
application or for the Planning Commission to give mature and proper
consideration to the matter. Accordingly, the Resolution extends the time within
which the Planning Commission must act to March 11, 2015, and requires that
the Commission act by that date.
■ Public Information:
No special form of advertising is required for this item; the actual Planning
Commission item, however, must be advertised in accordance with Virginia Code
Section 12.2-2204 (newspaper publication once per week for two consecutive
weeks).
■ Recommendations: Adoption of the resolution
■ Attachments: Resolution
Recommended Action: Adoption of resolution

8 WHEREAS, Simon Acquisition II, LLC (Simon) has made application pursuant to
9 Virginia Code Section 15.2-2232 (the Application) to the Planning Commission for
10 Comprehensive Plan consistency review regarding vehicular access to a proposed
11 350,000 square foot retail outlet mall located in the City of Virginia Beach; and
12 WHEREAS, the Application was submitted to the City on December 10, 2014;
13 and
14 WHEREAS, Virginia Code Section 15.2-2232 provides, in pertinent part, that
15 "[f]ailure of the commission to act within 60 days of a submission, unless the time is
16 extended by the governing body, shall be deemed approval" of the application; and
17 WHEREAS, as a result of the aforesaid provision and the regular meeting
18 schedule of the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission would have to act
19 upon the Application at its meeting of January 14, 2005 or be deemed to have approved
20 the Application, inasmuch as its next regular meeting is to take place on February 11,
21 2015, more than sixty (60) days after the submission of the Application; and
22 WHEREAS, the statutorily -mandated sixty-day period is insufficient for the
23 Planning Department to adequately review and evaluate the Application and for the
24 Planning Commission to give mature and proper consideration to the Application;
25 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
26 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
27 That the sixty-day time period imposed by Virginia Code Section 15.2-2232,
28 within which the Planning Commission must act or be deemed to have approved the
29 aforesaid application is hereby extended to March 11, 2015, and the Planning
30 Commission is hereby directed to act on the Application by no later than such date.
