Councilman Dyer has received a number of phone calls from Citizens concerning the number of"Group
Homes" opening in neighborhoods. The biggest concern is residents are not notified of the Group Home
until after-the-fact. Councilman Dyer requested the City Council schedule a Briefing in the near future
explaining the opening of Group Homes in neighborhoods.
Council Lady Ross-Hammond advised she has received numerous calls. She contacted Zoning and found
that the requests do not come before City Council for consideration.
Council Lady Kane attended a meeting, along with the City Attorney's Office and Planning Department
representatives, to address concerns regarding Group Homes. Unfortunately, there is not a lot that can
be done as they are protected by the ADA Law.
Councilman Dyer just wants to work on building better lines of communication so Citizens can
understand what is happening and when to expect a change in their neighborhoods.

INVOCATION: Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED he is retired from Towne Bank (which has a corporate office located at
297 Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), and no longer has any involvement in Towne Bank's
transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, Towne
Bank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he does not
have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of impropriety
that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which TowneBank has
an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Berkshire Hathaway Home Services
Town Realty, which is an affiliate of Towne Bank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter
and spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is his practice to
thoroughly review each City Council agenda to identify any matters in which he might have an actual or
potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a `personal
interest", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter
with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of
January 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.
September 15, 2015

Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED,for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank.
Three (3)years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial')purchased Resource Bank. On
March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a
Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a
`personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton
Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal
knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting
of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential
conflict. If, during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the
appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones
regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones'letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the
record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Berkshire
Hathaway Home Services Town Realty ("Berkshire Hathaway"), which was formerly known as
Prudential Towne Realty. Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Berkshire Hathaway has an interest in numerous matters in
which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identjing any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
Council Lady Wilson's letter of January 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson also DISCLOSED she has a personal interest in Dixon Hughes
Goodman and receives income from the firm as a result of her late husband's employment. The income is
proceeds from the sale of his partnership interest,paid out over an extended period of time. She is not an
employee of Dixon Hughes Goodman, does not have any role in management of the company and does is
not privy to its client list. However, due to the size of Dixon Hughes Goodman and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Dixon Hughes Goodman may have an interest in matters of
which she has no personal knowledge. In that regard, she is always concerned about the appearance of
impropriety that might arise if she unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which
Dixon Hughes Goodman has an interest. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and spirit
of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act'), it is her practice to thoroughly
review each City Council agenda to identify any matters in which she might have an actual or potential
conflict. If, during her review of an agenda, she identifies a matter in which she has a `personal
interest", as defined by the Act, she will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure
letter with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson's
letter of June 2, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.

Mayor Sessoms DECLARED A PUBLIC HEARING:
2016 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA TO THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Diana Howard, 1057 Debaca Court, Phone: 721-5128, spoke regarding the following Legislative Agenda
Items:
• Medicaid Expansion: She spoke in OPPOSITION. She feels it does not make sense to
move forward with the Expansion until the 'fraud/waste/abuse" of the system is
addressed.
• Greenhouse Gas Initiative: She understands this is sponsored by Delegate Villanueva
and is a "market-based approach". However, she would like to learn more about this
initiative.
• Sea Level Rise: She suggests the City stop building at the Beach and spending taxpayer
money on Light Rail which, in the long-run, will only affect 1% of the population. She
suggests using those funds toward Stormwater Management as that will be a much better
use of taxpayer's money.
• HRTAC: She does not feel it is appropriate to allow an "alternate" to vote on issues
when one may not be aware of all of the facts. Also, it gives the option to "side-step"any
conflict of interests. She suggests all regional issues and projects, prior to being
considered by HRTAC, should first be voted upon by City Council. This will give
Citizens an opportunity to voice their concerns/thoughts prior to consideration. The City
Council's Vote will then be taken to the HRTAC meeting and made there as well.
• FOIA Amendment: She spoke in SUPPORT regarding the release of information to
family members.
• VOTER REGISTRATION: She is concerned about the logistics of allowing someone to
register to vote the day of the election.
Ms. Howard thanked City Council for considering these suggestions.
There being no other speakers, Mayor Sessoms CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ORDINANCES/RESOLUTION
ITEM#65201
George Keen, did not respond when called to speak.
Joseph Belec, 605 Barberton Drive, Phone: 348-5543, advised, as City Council knows, there is a lot of
information and misinformation regarding Light Rail. He is a huge fan of public transportation but does
not support the notion it can come at any cost. The Voters supported the Referendum to "support all
reasonable efforts" but the Draft Environmental Impact Study (DEIS) did not support Light Rail. The
costs have "sky-rocketed" and, in his opinion, is contrary to what the City should be focusing on. The
recent announcement from Virginia Transportation Secretary, Aubrey Lane, in that the funding will now
come from State and Local dollars, with no support from the Federal Government, is a game changer.
He emailed Mr. Lane but, to date, has not received a response. Citizens were led to believe that once the
DEIS was complete, a decision would be made based upon those findings. Now, all of a sudden, that has
changed. The State is going to do what they are going to do regardless of the Vote tonight. The State
does not need the City's endorsement or permission. This is not the City's decision and if this is passed
tonight, the City will be held liable for the money to purchase the trains.
Marvin Keefer, did not respond when called to speak.
Donna Sayegh, 3104 Garland Drive, Phone: 638-3755, expressed concern regarding how much control
the State and Federal Governments have over the towns and cities. The big push is to reduce climate
change and by extending Light Rail, they are leading Citizens to believe congestion and air pollution will
be reduced. However, the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization is using ineffective and
outdated information.

EXHIBIT "A"
September , 2015
William Harrell, President and
CEO Hampton Roads Transit
1500 Monticello Avenue
Norfolk, VA 23510
RE: HRT's Utilization of Federal Transit Administration Funds for the City's
Acquisition of the Norfolk Southern Right of Way in Virginia Beach,
Virginia, approximately 10.7 miles in length with varying widths from Mile
Post VB-4.8 eastwardly to Mile Post VB-15.5 ("NSROW")
Dear Mr. Harrell:
The City of Virginia Beach ("City") purchased the NSROW from the Norfolk
Southern Railway Company ("Norfolk Southern") to establish a corridor for a future transit
project in the City. The future transit project is intended to be an extension of the current
light rail system in Norfolk, Virginia, known as The Tide. The City anticipates expanding
The Tide from Norfolk into Virginia Beach on or before the end of Federal Fiscal Year 2034.
The purchase price for the NSROW was forty million dollars ($40,000,000.00). HRT
agreed to pay Norfolk Southern five million dollars ($5,000,000) of the purchase price in five
(5) equal one million dollar payments over a period of five (5) consecutive years using Federal
Regional Surface Transportation Program Funds (STP) and/or successor program funds, if
programmed, allocated, and approved by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). For
purposes of this letter, the acquisition of the NSROW and the use of FTA approved funds for
same is referred to as "the Federal Project." The sum of the HRT's agreed payments
represents twelve and a half percent (12.5%) of the total NSROW purchase price.
As of the date of this letter, the City understands that the FTA has yet to release the
STP funds to HRT. The City further understands that the FTA requires the City to make
certain acknowledgments before the STP funds will be released to HRT. Accordingly, the City
acknowledges that HRT will use the STP funds to satisfy HRT's portion of the NSROW purchase
price. The City further acknowledges that the NSROW will remain available as a corridor for a
public transportation project and the City will refrain from any activity or use that would prevent
its use as a public transportation corridor.
Sincerely,
James K. Spore
City Manager

more than one extension shall be granted without authorization from the City Council.

fair market value of the vehicle, the parties shall select a third party who is acceptable to both the CITY
and the RESCUE SQUAD to determine the vehicle's fair market value.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO PROFFERED COVENANTS, RESTRICTIONS AND
CONDITIONS
2700 INTERNATIONAL PARKWAY CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation
TO (PROFFERED COVENANTS, RESTRICTIONS AND CONDITIONS)
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia
THIS AGREEMENT, made this 29th day of May, 2015, by and between 2700
INTERNATIONAL PARKWAY CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation, Grantor; and THE
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
Grantee.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Grantor is the owner of that certain parcel of property located in the
Rose Hall District of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, containing a total of approximately
11.54 acres, of which a total of 9.46 acres as described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference, are referred to herein as the"Property"; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has initiated a modification to a conditional amendment to the
Zoning Map of the City of Virginia Beach, by petition addressed to the Grantee so as to modify
conditions to the Zoning Classification of the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has requested Grantee to permit this modification of the
previously proffered Covenants, Restrictions and Conditions dated January 15, 2002 as
recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, in
Deed Book 4698, at Page 0780 (hereinafter"2002 Proffers"),to reflect amendments applicable

WHEREAS, the Grantee's policy is to provide only for the orderly development of land
for various purposes through zoning and other land development legislation; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that competing and sometimes incompatible
uses conflict and that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the Property and at
the same time to recognize the effects of 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 are needed to cope with the situation
to which the Grantor's proposed modification of conditions to the zoning gives rise; and
WHEREAS, the Grantor has voluntarily proffered, in writing, in advance of and prior to
the public hearing before the Grantee, as a part of the proposed modification to the existing
zoning conditions with respect to the Property, the following reasonable conditions related to
the physical development, operation, and use of the Property to be adopted, which conditions
have a reasonable relation to the proposed modification and the need for which is generated by
the proposed modification.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantor, its successors, personal representatives, assigns,
grantees, and other successors in title or interest, voluntarily and without any requirement by
or exaction from the Grantee or its governing body and without any element of compulsion or
quid pro quo for zoning, rezoning, site plan, building permit, or subdivision approval, hereby
makes the following amended declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall restrict
and govern the physical development, operation, and use of the Property and hereby covenants
and agrees that this declaration shall constitute covenants running with the Property, which
shall be binding upon the Property and upon all parties and persons claiming under or through
the Grantor, its successors, personal representatives, assigns, grantees, and other successors in
interest or title:
1. When the Property is developed, it shall be developed and landscape
substantially in accordance with the "CONCEPT PLAN THE PROMENADE COMMERCIAL &

2015, prepared by Finley Design Architecture + Interiors, which has been exhibited to the
Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning (the
"Elevations").
3. When the portion of the Property designated "PROPOSED OUTPARCEL" on
the Concept Plan is developed, the exterior of any building on the Outparcel shall utilize
substantially the same architectural features and style, as well as substantially the same
external building materials and colors as depicted and designated on the exhibit entitled,
"Proposed Development for the PROMENADE AT LYNNHAVEN, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA.",
prepared by Covington Hendrix Architects,which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City
Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning (the"Elevations").
4. Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed Site Plan
review and administration of applicable City Codes by all cognizant City agencies and
departments to meet all applicable City Code requirements.
The above conditions, having been proffered by the Grantors and allowed and accepted
by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, shall continue in full force
and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning of the Property and specifically
repeals such conditions. Such conditions shall continue despite a subsequent amendment to
the Zoning Ordinance even if the subsequent amendment is part of a comprehensive
implementation of a new or substantially revised Zoning Ordinance until specifically repealed.
The conditions, however, may be repealed, amended, or varied by written instrument recorded
in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach,Virginia, and executed by
the record owner of the Property at the time of recordation of such instrument, provided that
said instrument is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified copy of an
ordinance or a resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee which was advertised pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.2-2204 of the
Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. Said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with
said instrument as conclusive evidence of such consent, and if not so recorded, said instrument
shall be void.
The Grantor covenants and agrees that:
(1) The Zoning Administrator of the City of Virginia Beach,Virginia, shall be vested
with all necessary authority, on behalf of the governing body of the City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, to administer and enforce the foregoing conditions and restrictions, including the

and (b) to bring legal action or suit to insure compliance with such conditions, including
mandatory or prohibitory injunction, abatement, damages, or other appropriate action, suit, or
proceeding;
(2) The failure to meet all conditions and restrictions shall constitute cause to deny
the issuance of any of the required building or occupancy permits as may be appropriate;
(3) If aggrieved by any decision of the Zoning Administrator, made pursuant to
these provisions, the Grantor shall petition the governing body for the review thereof prior to
instituting proceedings in court; and
(4) The Zoning Map may show by an appropriate symbol on the map the existence
of conditions attaching to the zoning of the Property, and the ordinances and the conditions
may be made readily available and accessible for public inspection in the office of the Zoning
Administrator and in the Planning Department, and they shall be recorded in the Clerk's Office
of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and indexed in the names of the
Grantor and the Grantee.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia
TO (PROFFERED COVENANTS, RESTRICTIONS AND CONDITIONS)
CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia
THIS PROFFER AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made this (SM day of
, 2015, by and between the CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal
corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the "City") ("Grantor") and the CITY OF
VIRGINIA BEACH, a municipal corporation of the Commonwealth of Virginia
("Grantee").
RECITALS:
A. The Grantor is the owner of that certain property located at 104 Witchduck
Road in the City of Virginia Beach, containing approximately 4.781+/- acres and more
particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference (the "Property").
B. The Grantor has initiated a conditional amendment to the Zoning Map of
the City of Virginia Beach, by petition addressed to the Grantee so as to change the
Zoning Classification of the Property from I-1 Light Industrial District to Conditional B-4
Mixed Use District; and
G P I N: 1467-84-4236-0000
1
C. Grantee's policy is to provide for the orderly development of land for
various purposes, including commercial purposes, thorough zoning and other land
development legislation.
D. Grantor acknowledges that the competing and sometimes incompatible
development of various types of uses conflict and that in order to permit differing types
of uses on and in the area of the Property and at the same time to recognize the effects
of change that will be created by the proposed modification of zoning restriction, certain
reasonable restrictions governing the development of the Property for the protection of
the community that are not generally applicable to land similarly zoned are needed to
resolve the situation to which the application gives rise;
E. Grantor has voluntarily proffered, in writing, in advance of and prior to the
public hearing before the Grantee, as a part of the proposed amendment to the Zoning
Map with respect to the Property, the following reasonable conditions related to the
physical development, operation, and use of the Property to be adopted as a part of
said amendment to the Zoning Map relative and applicable to the Property, which has a
reasonable relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantor, for itself, its successors, personal
representatives, assigns, grantees, and other successors in title or interest, voluntarily
and without any requirement by or exaction from the Grantee or its governing body and
without any element of compulsion or quid pro quo for zoning, rezoning, site plan,
building permit, or subdivision approval, hereby make the following modification to the
declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall restrict and govern the physical
development, operation, and use of the Property and hereby covenant and agree that
2
this declaration shall constitute covenants running with the Property, which shall be
binding upon the Property and upon all parties and persons claiming under or through
the Grantor, their successors, personal representatives, assigns, grantees, and other
successors in interest or title:
1. When the Property is developed, it shall be substantially as depicted on
the Site Layout Plan "Housing Resource Center", prepared by Waller Todd & Sadler
Architects, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file
with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning.
2. When the Property is developed, the Property shall have the quality
exterior design, architectural features and building materials substantially depicted on
the Exhibit entitled " Housing Resource Center—Exterior View (Conceptual)" dated
03/23/15, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with
the Virginia Beach Department of Planning.
3. The City of Virginia Beach Resource Center shall be located on the
Property, which shall only include the following uses: business studios, offices and
clinics, group homes, medical and dental offices and clinics, public buildings and
grounds, single room occupancy facilities, parking structures or garages and eating and
drinking establishments incidental to the Housing Resource Center.
4. 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.
3
The above conditions, having been proffered by the Grantor and allowed and
accepted by the Grantee as part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, shall
continue in full force and effect until a subsequent amendment changes the zoning of
the Property and specifically repeals such conditions. Such conditions shall continue
despite a subsequent amendment to the Zoning Ordinance even if the subsequent
amendment is part of a comprehensive implementation of a new or substantially revised
Zoning Ordinance until specifically repealed. The conditions, however, may be
repealed, amended, or varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's Office of the
Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and executed by the record owner of
the Property at the time of recordation of such instrument, provided that said instrument
is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidence by a certified copy of an ordinance
or a resolution adopted by the governing body of the Grantee, after a public hearing
before the Grantee which was advertised pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.2-
2204 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. Said ordinance or resolution shall be
recorded along with said instrument as conclusive evidence of such consent, and if not
so recorded, said instrument shall be void.
The Grantor covenants and agrees that (i) the Zoning Administrator of the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia, shall be vested with all necessary authority, on behalf of the
governing body of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, to administer and enforce the
foregoing conditions and restrictions specified in this Agreement, including ordering in
writing of the remedying of any noncompliance with such conditions and the bringing of
legal action or suit to ensure compliance with such conditions, including mandatory or
prohibitory injunction, abatement, damages, or other appropriate action, suit, or
4
proceeding; (ii) failure to meet all conditions and restrictions shall constitute cause to
deny the issuance of any of the required building or occupancy permits as may be
appropriate; (iii) if aggrieved by any decision of the Zoning Administrator, made
pursuant to these provisions, the Grantor shall petition the governing body for the
review thereof prior to instituting proceedings in court; and (iv) the Zoning Map may
show by an appropriate symbol on the map the existence of conditions attaching to the
zoning of the Property, and the ordinances and the conditions may be made readily
available and accessible for public inspection in the office of the Zoning Administrator
and in the Planning Department, and they shall be recorded in the Clerk's Office of the
Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and indexed in the names of the
Grantor and Grantee.

URBAN AREA
Maintaining,vitalizing and developing community wealth and resources for the long term.
INTRODUCTION
While we have enjoyed robust growth over much of the City's 40 year history,we have prevented
intrusion of such growth into our rural area.This is attributed, in part,to the planning policies
established in 1979 and, more so,to the creation of the 'Green Line' in 1986. In the past,the Green Line
was the boundary between the suburban and rural areas of the City,today, it still marks the boundary
separating higher suburban densities to the north and more limited suburban and rural densities farther
south. In 1997,the City's estimated area of undeveloped land north of the Green Line was about 13,000
acres. In 2007, it was estimated to be less than 5,000 acres. It was further reduced by the Oceana Land
Use Conformity Program,which prevents residential and hotel development in areas located within high
noise zones. In response to this reality,the City Council recognized the need to identify areas for future
growth while at the same time protecting our many stable residential neighborhoods and preserving our
rural heritage. Following extensive public input the City adopted a new growth strategy. Instead of
relying on the remaining inventory of underdeveloped land to absorb growth,the City carefully defined
areas planned to accommodate and absorb urban growth called 'Strategic Growth Areas', SGAs.
Urban Area generally applies to Strategic Growth Areas.
Virginia Beach is already experiencing urban type growth. It has begun gradually and is occurring in
defined areas located north of the Green Line, such as the Resort Area and the Central Business
District's Town Center.
Desired characteristics of urban areas:
» Higher density residential uses, including multi-family and attached dwellings
» Variety of complementary, non- residential uses that enhance economic and cultural quality of life
» Absence of single-family detached units. Housing stock may be new or rehabilitated,owner-occupied,
as well as rental units
» Housing to accommodate a variety of income levels
» Option of walking or bicycling to stores, schools, play areas and work places
» Choice of safe, convenient and cost-effective public transportation systems
STRATEGIC GROWTH AREAS
The City has identified Strategic Growth Areas to:
» provide opportunities for continued physical and economic growth;
» help prevent urban sprawl;
» protect our established residential neighborhoods and rural areas from incompatible development
due to growth pressures;
1
» maximize infrastructure efficiency;
» create unique and exciting urban destinations.
Most of these areas will integrate a diverse cluster of attractive, more compact but compatible uses of
land including office, retail,service and,where appropriate, residential and hotel.They also encourage
greater use of alternative transportation systems:,Wwhether focusing on future mass transit
technologies or increasing opportunities to implement Transportation Demand Management programs.
The eight Strategic Growth Areas discussed herein have been found to meet the intent of the Code of
Virginia,Section 15.2-2223.1 re: "Urban Development Areas."
Our challenge is to advance a set of planning principles that
Recognize distinct opportunities and constraints inherent in each SGA while acknowledging common
planning principles that can be applied to all these areas.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
1. EFFICIENT USE OF LAND RESOURCES
The land use techniques of compact development, infill development,and structured parking are key
components to successfully achieving a more efficient pattern of growth.The benefits include reduced
sprawl, protection of existing stable neighborhoods, increased protection of farmland and open spaces,
reduced dependence on the automobile and more cost-effective use of existing infrastructure.
2. FULL USE OF URBAN SERVICES
Compact development patterns promote a more efficient and cost effective use of existing public
infrastructure and services such as roads, schools,water, sewer, police,fire, rescue and others.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that intensification (non-residential) and densification
(residential)of development within appropriate areas where infrastructure and services already exist
provides a more efficient and cost-effective use of public funds than continued expansion of
infrastructure and services into undeveloped areas.
3. COMPATIBLE MIX OF USES
Providing a complementary and vertical blend of residential and non-residential uses within reasonable
walking distances of one another is an important part of a successful compact development strategy.
Effective mixed-use developments also have a 'critical mass'where the mixture of uses is such that the
need for an automobile for routine trips for goods and services is significantly diminished. Examples of
mixed-use include the co-location of corner markets and shops lining streets with residential units
located above. Architectural design considerations and control of the hours of business operation must
be factored into the land use strategy.The careful placement of residences, offices,shops, educational
and cultural institutions, recreation areas, public service facilities and open spaces designed as part of an
attractive, pedestrian-oriented, urban environment contributes to:
» Independence of movement and ease of access between home and neighborhood serving
destinations.
» Safer commercial areas due to the 24-hour presence of people or what is termed the 'eyes of the
community.'
» Reduction in automobile dependency and opportunities for shorter work trips by focusing on mixed-
use and transit oriented development.
2
»The development of a transit-oriented and multi-modal transportation system, in conjunction with
planned development and mixed-use projects.
» Increased housing choice for a variety of individuals and families having a wide range of income levels.
4. A RANGE OF TRANSPORTATION OPPORTUNITIES
As noted above,compact development patterns afford greater choice of transportation alternatives and
less congestion than is otherwise experienced in communities.A recent three year study, Measuring
Sprawl and Its Impacts, by researchers from Rutgers University, Cornell University and Smart Growth
America concluded that, "one of the strongest purported benefits of sprawling development, lower
traffic congestion, is not borne out by this study.Those who believe that metropolitan regions can
sprawl their way out of congestion appear to be wrong." Compact, mixed-use development that
contains convenience,variety and density of use,and integrates well-designed pedestrian systems,
streetscapes and transit opportunities can contribute to:
» Decreased dependence on the automobile,especially the single-occupant vehicle.
» Extension of safe, convenient and efficient light rail transit service that provides alternative mobility
options.
»Reduction in citywide Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
» Increased opportunities for more efficient and cost-effective forms of shared and mass transportation.
» Increased opportunities to commute by walking or biking.
»Opportunities for local and metropolitan transit systems to link to regional and interstate
transportation systems.
» Cleaner air.
» Safer travel.
5. DETAILED HUMAN-SCALE DESIGN
Part of what is required for compact, mixed-use developments to become acceptable patterns of
development within communities is the creation or re-creation of well-designed urban areas that are
safe, attractive and convenient. It is important for these areas to be built at a 'human-
scale,' especially as people experience activity along the streets, sidewalks and public spaces. For
example,the sounds from outdoor cafes, people gathering around fountains in public plazas and aromas
from local coffee shops and bakeries, all combine to create a sense of interest, excitement and social
interaction.There are distinct physical characteristics that define the built environment of the urban
center.These include a vertical mix of residential and non-residential uses within architecturally
interesting buildings. Urban streetscapes are designed with special paving, landscaping, lighting and
other features that create a visually exciting and inviting environment.Additionally, arts and culture
must be woven into the fabric of the community, becoming an integral force in urban design,the
educational system, commerce,community celebrations, neighborhood life and public-sector
institutions.We need to create space for the arts to take hold and grow.When designed and built with
quality in mind,these physical and cultural elements galvanize to foster a positive sense of urban place,
one that is enjoying a resurgence of public interest in many communities across the country.
Along with advocating the arts and culture elements, it is the policy of the City to use all available
resources including those provided by the City's Historic Review Board and Historic Preservation
Commission as well as the Princess Anne County/Virginia Beach Historical Society to preserve
designated historic resources. Efforts to retain these historic resources should be accomplished in a
responsible and innovative manner. The efforts include providing land use guidance and tax credit
assistance to owners of historic properties in order to help protect and preserve the City's limited
number of valuable historic resources and surrounding open space areas. Owners of qualified
3
properties should be encouraged to participate in the Virginia Beach Historical Register program and
receive recognition for their contributions to our City's heritage.
Distinct Qualities
Strategic Growth Areas also possess some distinct qualities.
While these are defined in more detail in the following area-specific section of this chapter,general
points are offered here that describe how some of the Strategic Growth Areas differ in character.
First,these areas vary in their ability to absorb the volume of new growth. For example,the Newtown,
Pembroke and Rosemont SGA are located along 1-264 and Virginia Beach Boulevard near key highway
interchanges and unencumbered by AICUZ high noise or accident potential zones.
Opportunities exist in these areas to blend new residential and complementary non-residential uses
thereby creating attractive, more intense, mixed-use centers.
These three SGAs are designated as state man:. -: '- :. • •- • ::••-• . ' •- - •- •• -- •-
growth criteria established by state law for such areas.
In addition,these areas are well positioned to take advantage of future mass transit systems that might
be built along the former railroad line in this corridor.
Other Strategic Growth Areas have unique qualities as well. For example, Burton Station SGA is
strategically located to take advantage of regional truck, rail,air and maritime shipping services.
Opportunities also exist to provide a compatible mix of residential, recreational, open space,
institutional and corporate industrial uses designed around an established neighborhood that embodies
a rich heritage.
The Resort Area is another very unique SGA. It is an important resort center that annually attracts three
million visitors who spend over$800 million.This SGA continues to grow as a vacation and convention
destination and is the centerpiece of our hospitality industry.
AREA SPECIFIC PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS
Master plans for each of the City's eight SGAs were prepared through extensive planning, research,
analysis and community engagement during a multi-year effort and have been adopted by reference as
as part of this Comprehensive Plan as follows: Resort Area SGA 8 (2007), Burton Station SGA 1 (2009),
Pembroke SGA 4(2009), Newtown SGA 3 (2010), Rosemont SGA 5 (2011), Lynnhaven SGA 6(2012),
Hilltop SGA 7 (2012) and Centerville SGA 2 (2013). The detailed SGA Master Plans can be viewed in the
Planning Department's online document library at www.vbgov.com/Planning.
