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.

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 identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
Council Lady Wilson's letter of January 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 recognized and welcomed those in attendance from Boy Scout Pack 471.

RESOLUTION JIM SPORE ITEM#65509
RESOLUTION
James K.Spore Retirement
Mayor Sessoms presented City Manager Spore with a Resolution recognizing his achievements that
resulted from the City's ability to collaboratively set goals and develop effective partnerships between the
government, the non-profit community and the private sector. The City Council expressed their
appreciation to City Manager Spore for his outstanding contributions to the City and extended
congratulations on the occasion of his retirement from government services.
Mayor Sessoms also presented a Certificate acknowledging his service of over twenty-four (24) years,
along with his Retirement Pin.
City Manager Spore expressed his appreciation to the City Council for the Resolution. He is shocked at
how quickly the last twenty-four (24)years have passed. He advised many of his career's "high-lights"
were achieved in the City and that is due to the outstanding leadership the City has always been so
fortunate to have. Every accomplishment has involved so many Staff Members. Tonight is the 1,152
meeting. He reflected on five (5) Members of City Council that hired him who are no longer with us:
John Baum, Bob Clyburn, Robert Fentress,former Mayors Herold Heischober and Meyera Oberndorf.
City Manager Spore advised he carried The Athenian Oath with him every single day for the past twenty-
four years and then read the Oath aloud.
"We will never bring disgrace on this our City
by an act of dishonesty or cowardice.
We will fight for the ideals and Sacred Things
of the City both alone and with many.
We will revere and obey the City's laws,
and will do our best to incite a like reverence
and respect in those above us who are prone
to annul them or set them at naught.
We will strive increasingly to quicken
the public's sense of civic duty.
Thus in all these ways we will transmit this City,
not only not less, but greater and more beautiful
than it was transmitted to us!"

ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS
ITEM#65517
The following individuals registered to speak:
Marjorie Parker, 2061 Lyndora Road, Phone: 581-6365, a member of the Sierra Club, spoke in
OPPOSITION. She advised dozens of governments located along the East Coast have voted against
Offshore Drilling as it is not "if" but "when" an oil spill will occur. Very little has been done to make
Offshore Drilling safer since the 2010 BP disaster in the Gulf. Congress has not passed any new
legislation to make Offshore Drilling safer and has only recently enacted one of numerous regulations
recommended by the Gulf Spill Commission. An oil spill will be devastating to coast-line economies and
communities that rely on clean beaches and healthy ocean waters. Ms. Parker read a list of local
organizations that are opposed to Offshore Drilling.
Robert Gomez, 2524 Las Corrales Court, Phone: 913-461-8179, the Chair of the Virginia Beach Chapter
of the Surfrider Foundation, stated the organization has taken a very strong stance in OPPOSITION to
Offshore Drilling. The economic interest must be weighed against the environmental concern and, being
a coastal city, we rely on tourism to be a main driver in the economy. An oil spill will have a devastating
effect on the City's economy and he does not feel it is a risk the City can afford to take.
Richard Dyer, 312 Ruddy Crescent, Phone: 721-3454, a member of the Sandbridge Civic League spoke in
OPPOSITION He advised the Civic League recently sent a letter to both the state and federal
government opposing Offshore Drilling. An oil spill and everyday pollution from drilling would have a
negative and long-lasting effect on Sandbridge.
Eileen Levandoski, 1205 Whilestone Way, Phone: 277-8537, a member of the Sierra Club, spoke in
OPPOSITION. She stated the area's clean beaches are the "backbone"of the City's sustainable coastal
economy by generating Billions of Dollars in Revenue from tourism, recreation and commercial fishing.
All stand at risk if Virginia's coast should be open to Offshore Drilling. Oil and gas exploration and
production continues to be a dirty and dangerous activity that threatens coastal beaches, beach
communities and estuaries.
Stephen Taylor Proffitt, 3101 Winchester Lane, Phone: 409-4689, a member of the surfing and restaurant
community, spoke in OPPOSITION. He advised for all the reasons already stated, he requested City
Council vote NO to Offshore Drilling.
Frank Papcin, 4008 Rumford Lane, spoke in OPPOSITION He stated his opposition is not the same as
the others speaking prior to him. He does not feel the City will benefit financially from Offshore Drilling
and only the oil companies will reap any benefit.
Catherine Kilduff, 537 Pembroke Avenue, Phone: 202-780-8862, spoke in OPPOSITON. She advised
Offshore Drilling would be detrimental to the City and the entire East Coast. She does not believe you
can put a price on the health of the ocean and the various wildlife that will be affected with an oil spill.
Gary Medlin, 1028 Hillview Boulevard, Phone: 361-5826, spoke in OPPOSITION He does not feel the
City can afford to take the risk and allow Offshore Drilling.

17
18 WHEREAS, the development of an offshore oil and gas industry would create
19 thousands of jobs in Hampton Roads and produce hundreds of millions of dollars worth

� -�-� City Council Policy
Title: Guidelines for Evaluation of Investment Partnerships for Index Number:
Economic Development
Re-adoption Date: Jan. 14,2014 Date of Revision: Page 1 of 6
1.0 Purpose and Need
On March 13, 2001, City Council originally adopted this policy, and it was
subsequently re-adopted January 14, 2014. The City of Virginia Beach has
spent the last several years developing unique development plans that will
shape the future of each of the City's eight Strategic Growth Areas (SGA's) and
four Special Economic Growth Areas (SEGA's). This revision seeks to update
the 2001 policy by focusing upon those partnerships that are consistent with the
SGA's and SEGA's.
2.0 Policy Statement
City Council may consider investment partnerships that meet the desirability and
feasibility criteria set forth in this policy. This policy is not an entitlement to City
funds for any project even if the proiect meets the desirability and feasibility
criteria set forth herein. City Accordingly, staff is directed to follow the process
described in Section 6.0 to review and evaluate potential partnerships. The
ultimate decision to approve or not approve a partnership is made by the City
Council.
3.0 Criteria: Desirable and Feasible Project
A desirable project will have many, but not necessarily all, of the following
characteristics:
3.1 Compliance with City Council goals. City Council has identified a diverse
local economy and living choices as key for the City's future. Investment
partnerships should be based upon the project's ability to meet Council's
goals. Other City Council goals and objectives may be identified in the
SGA Plans, the Comprehensive Plan and the Envision 2040 Plan.
City Council Policy
Guidelines for Evaluation of Investment Partnerships for Economic Development
Page 2
3.2 The project is located within a SGA or SEGA.
3.3 The private sector investment is a minimum of $30 million and acts as a
building block for future beneficial development.
3.4 The project aligns with SGA/SEGA design principles.
3.5 Proximity to light rail stations. Most SGAs are within 1/2 mile of proposed
light rail stations, and proximity to such stations should encourage
successful development.
3.6 Historical financial and construction development integrity. A partner
should have the financial capacity and experience that suggests the ability
to complete the project.
3.7 Generates jobs and supports target industry development. The Economic
Development Department has identified professional, scientific, technical,
information, high performance manufacturing, and headquarter and
regional businesses as targeted industries.
3.8 Projects support pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. Walkable streets and
bicycle amenities support the SGA goal of walkable, safe, and connected

5.0 Definitions
5.1 Investment partnerships are agreements between the City or the
Development Authority, and a private entity, usually a developer. To
leverage large scale development, generate public benefit, or increase tax
revenues, the City makes a partnership with a developer enabling SGA
and SEGA plan compliance, maximizing development potential, and
accomplishing a project otherwise not achievable.
5.2 Strategic Growth Areas, as defined in the 2009 Virginia Beach
Comprehensive Plan, are designed to concentrate growth in a strategic
and sustainable way, developing centers of employment, living,
commerce, shopping, and arts and culture. The SGAs, almost all of which
are located along the City's primary transportation corridor, emphasize a
`smarter' type of growth.
I
City Council Policy
Guidelines for Evaluation of Investment Partnerships for Economic Development
Page 4
5.3 Special Economic Growth Areas, as defined in the 2009 Virginia Beach
Comprehensive Plan, are four predominantly nonresidential areas, located
adjacent to NAS Oceana and in the Interfacility Traffic Area targeting land
uses compatible with the military.
5.4 Project Team is the group of City Staff described in Section 6.1 plus the
City Council liaisons described in Section 6.3.
5.5 Negotiation Documents are generated by City Staff or contracted
professionals and used for the deliberative process and negotiation by the
City's project team. These documents may include an economic impact
analysis, a negotiation analysis, and a sketch of potential deal terms.
5.6 Confidential Proprietary Records are nonpublic records, which are the
property of a private party, relating to any one of the following: (i) the
return on investment of private equity; (ii) structure of private financing; or
(iii) analysis of whether a private enterprise can be profitable, such as a
proforma or private lease term details.
6.0 Process
6.1 The private partner makes a formal request of the City to engage in an
investment partnership. In response to this request or application, the City
Manager, Deputy City Manager(s), the City Attorney, the Director of
Finance, and the Directors of Economic Development, Planning, Finance
and Management Services, SGA Office as needed, have a preliminary
meeting (or a series of meetings) with the prospective partner. The
purpose of this meeting and review is to determine if the project is a
desirable project.
6.2 If the project meets the desirability characteristics, then the prospective
partner may be directed to submit, additional information to enable the
City to evaluate, among other things, the qualifications of the developer
and the significance of the economic and fiscal impacts.
6.3 The City Manager will brief City Council and request the appointment of
Council liaisons for the project.
6.4 The City Manager (or the City Manager designee) will assign a Project
Manager. If not previously completed, the City will complete a study of the
City Council Policy
Guidelines for Evaluation of Investment Partnerships for Economic Development
Page 5
economic, fiscal and social impacts of the project, including, without
limitation, the number of jobs, type of jobs, salaries paid, as well as
economic, community, and other impacts.
6.5 A Term Sheet may be developed, in concert with the City Attorney, and
presented to City Council for concurrence.
6.6 The Project Manager will undertake stakeholder input that is appropriate
based upon the size and scope of the project.
6.7 A Development Agreement is prepared with the developer/partner. Any
such agreement is prepared under the direction and supervision of the
City Attorney.
6.8 The Development Agreement is brought before the City Council and/or
Development Authority for formal approval.
7.0 Document Controls
7.1 Outlines of possible expenditures of City funds prepared by City Staff are
to be provided to individual members of City Council when requested.
During the pendency of any negotiations, such documents should be held
by the individual members in confidence because the disclosure of such
documents could harm the City's bargaining position.
7.2 Because the disclosure of Negotiation Documents prior to a decision to
award or not award a contract may adversely affect the City's bargaining
position or negotiation strategy, the Project Team shall take all necessary
steps to protect such documents prior to the City Council's decision
whether to approve such contract. The Negotiation Documents may be
shared with members of the City Council, individually, upon request, or in
executive session of the Council, when required to describe a project or
gauge the Council's willingness to initiate or proceed with negotiations, but
the Negotiation Documents are to be collected after any such meeting and
retained by the Project Team. Upon the decision to award or not award a
contract (usually a Development Agreement), these documents are
releasable to the public pursuant to the Virginia Freedom of Information
Act.
7.3 The completion of the study required by Section 6.4 may require the City
to obtain certain Confidential Proprietary Records from the investment
i I

partner. The City Council authorizes staff to make a promise of
confidentiality in order to obtain voluntary disclosure of the private party's
Confidential Proprietary Records. While in the possession of the City, the
documents may only be shared by those City Staff or contracted
professionals with the specific expertise to evaluate such documents.
Confidential Proprietary Records may be shared with individual members
of the City Council, upon request, but the records are to be collected after
any such meeting and retained by the member(s) of City Staff in
possession of such documents. These documents are to be returned to
the private party after the required study is completed.
7.4 City Staff is directed to make these limitations upon the confidentiality of
documents set forth in this Policy known to any potential Investment
Partner prior to the submission of any document for which the Partner
seeks protection.

City Coundi Policy
Title: City Council Policy Regarding Applications for Tax Exemption by
Designation
Date of Adoption: February 3, 2004 Dates of Revisions:May 6,2008 Page 1 of 4
1.0 Purpose and Need
• Purpose: To establish criteria for approval of resolutions by City Council to exempt, by
designation, local nonprofit organizations from real and personal property taxes.
Need City Council has requested guidance as to criteria for considering exemptions as well as a
procedure for reviewing requests for exemption from local property taxes. The Commissioner of
the Revenue has offered revisions to Council's policy adopted on February 2, 2004 in an effort
to streamline the exemption review process for local nonprofit organizations and provide
necessary analysis and oversight of the application process.
Legislative Background The Virginia Constitution provides that, after January 1, 2003, local
governments may, by designation, exempt the real and personal property of nonprofit
organizations from local property taxes if used exclusively for religious, charitable, patriotic,
historical, benevolent,cultural,or public park and playground-purposes. However,as provided
in Virginia Code § 58.1-3651, the local governing body must adopt an ordinance to exempt the
property. .
2.0 Policy
The City Council is not required to designate any organization properly applying for exemption
from taxation, and every designation of an organization is conditioned upon compliance with the
terms of this policy and any ordinance granting the exemption. If an organization does not
comply with these requirements,the City Council may revoke the tax exemption after providing
notice and a hearing to the organization. Any revocation of an exemption shall be effective at the
beginning of the tax rear during which the revocation occurs.
The applicant or a representative of the applicant shall provide the Commissioner of the Revenue
detailed information necessary to determine the benefits to the public that will result from
grantingtax exemption. In considering applications, the Commissioner of the Revenue shall
employ the following guidelines:
' I I
.

Code § 501(c).
2. Personal or real property for which an exemption is sought cannot be used by any member

3. The organization must be in compliance with all City ordinances and regulations (induding
but not limited to building, property maintenance, and zoning codes) and all applicable tax
obligations.
4. The organization must provide a service to the residents of the City that results in a benefit to
the public (tangible or intangible).
The following requirements apply to each entity exempted from local property taxes by the City

its Internal Revenue Service Form 990 or 990 EZ to the Commissioner of the Revenue. If

form(s) prescribed by the Commissioner of the Revenue its continuing tax exempt status.
Loss of 501(c)stams must immediately be reported to the Commissioner of the Revenue and
City Attorney, and is grounds for revocation of tax exempt status.
2. Pursuant to Virginia Code§58.1-3605,each entity exempted from local property taxes shall,
every three years, file an exemption application with the Commissioner of the Revenue as a
requirement for retention of the exempt status of the property. The application form shall be
approved as to form by the City Attorney.
3. Each entity exempted from local property taxes must cooperate fully with the Commissioner
of the Revenue with respect to audit of its financial records,compliance with the terms of this
policy, and compliance with any ordinance granting tax exemption.
3.0 Procedure to Accomplish Policy

of the.Revenue as to whether the organization is or may be tax-exempt by classification,
pursuant to Article 2 (§58.1-3606 et seq.) or°Article 3 058.1-3609 et seq.) of Title 58.1 of the
Virginia Code. If the organization is not exempt, but meets the criteria of organizations that

Attorney.
2. Applications for exemption shall be considered quarterly. Applications for exemption must

submitted on February 14, 2014. In this regard, no individual contracts have been
finalized, as these contracts are contingent upon the final terms and conditions

Re: Disclosure Pursuant to Virginia Code § 2.2-3115(H)
Dear Mrs. Fraser:
Pursuant to the Virginia Conflict of Interests Act, Sections 2.2-3112(A)(2) and -3115(H),
Code of Virginia, I make the following declarations:
1. I am making this written disclosure regarding City Council's discussion and vote
on the resolution approving (1) the execution of the documents necessary for the
arena project and (2) authorizing the transfer of the arena land to the City of
Virginia Beach Development Authority.
2. This disclosure supplements the disclosure I made in December 2014 regarding
City Council's discussion and vote on a resolution approving a non-binding term
sheet for the development of an arena and authorizing the development of
definitive project documents.
3. The arena project could increase demand for hotel rooms in the Resort Area, and
the project agreement also contemplates a temporary increase in the hotel tax.
4. I am an employee of Burlage Management Corporation, which is located at 801
Atlantic Avenue in Virginia Beach. Burlage Management Corporation owns
hotels in the Resort Area.

Re: Disclosure and Abstention Pursuant to Virginia Code § 2.2-3115(H)
5. I am a member of a business, profession or occupation, namely Resort Area
hoteliers. To the extent the approval of this transaction may affect the business of
hotels in the Resort Area, all members of this profession may be affected by the
transaction.
6. Although the City Attorney has advised me that with respect to this transaction,
any benefit or detriment to Burlage Management Corporation is speculative and
therefore the Act provides that I may participate in this transaction without
restriction, I nevertheless have chosen to disclose this potential interest and state
that I am able to participate in this transaction fairly, objectively, and in the public
interest in accordance with the provisions of Virginia Code §§ 2.2-3112(A)(2) and
2.2-3115(H).
I respectfully request that you record this declaration in the official records of City

WHEREAS, the Grantor acknowledges that the 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 rezoning application 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 amendment to the Zoning Map,
in addition to the regulations provided for in the B2 Zoning District by the existing overall Zoning
Ordinance, 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 have a reasonable relation to the rezoning and the need
for which is generated by the rezoning.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Grantors, for themselves, their successors, 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 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 Grantors, their successors and assigns, grantees, and other successors in interest
or title:
1. When the Property is developed, the exterior of the grocery store shown on the
Concept Plan shall substantially adhere in appearance and materials to the six (6) exhibit
entitled "East Elevation," "South Elevation," "West Elevation," "North Elevation," Untitled and

prepared by Kimley-Horn, when the Property is developed, landscaping including berming shall
be constructed along the street frontage. Included in the landscaping area shall be bioretention

3. As depicted on the Concept Plan, when the Property is developed, right of way
dedications shall be provided to extend Edison Road. Further, standard roadway improvements
shall be installed within the new Edison Road right of way in accordance with the standards for

obstructed from traffic travelling northbound on General Booth Boulevard.
5. An entrance shall be provided at the rear of the parcel (GPIN 24154248580000) at
1784 General Booth Boulevard to the north of the site to connect the existing outparcel service
road for the shopping center parcel (GPIN 24155410780000) at 1650 General Booth Boulevard
which is due north of the site, to tie into the extension of Edison Drive being constructed with
this project, if the appropriate easements and other permissions necessary for construction are
obtained.
6. 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.
All references hereinabove to the AG2 and B2 Districts and to the requirements and
regulations applicable thereto refer to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision
Ordinance of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, in force as of the date of approval of this
Agreement by City Council, which are by this reference incorporated herein.
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 Grantors covenant and agree 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 authority (a) to
order, in writing, that any noncompliance with such conditions be remedied, 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 Grantors 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
Grantors and the Grantee.
