Jones called to order the CITY COUNCIL'S WORKSHOP in the City Council Conference Room, Tuesday, June 23, 2015, at 4:00 P.M. Council Members Present: M Benjamin Davenport, Barbara M. Henley, Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones, Amelia N. Ross-Hammond, John E. Uhrin, Rosemary Wilson and James L. Wood Council Members Absent: Robert M. Dyer Business meeting Shannon DS Kane Out of town for business John D. Moss Out of town for business Mayor William D. Sessoms, Jr. Out of town on City Business *Council Lady Henley provided a copy of a letter from Sandbridge Beach Civic League and Sandbridge Beach Business Association. She attended the Business Association's meeting last Thursday, along with Karen Lasley and other Planning Staff to discuss the issue of the large houses in Sandbridge being marketed as "event homes". She then met with the Civic League on Saturday morning and provided a copy of a motion passed unanimously regarding "event homes" to City Council which is made a part of this record. June 23, 2015 Sandbridge Beach Civic League Virginia Beach, Virginia June 22, 2015 Dear Honorable Mayor Sessoms and Members of City Council, As President of the Sandbridge Beach Civic League, I would like to inform you that the following motion was passed unanimously by the 43 members in attendance at our June 20, 2015, annual meeting: The Sandbridge Beach Civic League, in keeping with its purpose of promoting the "betterment"of Sandbridge Beach as a "residential community", requests assistance from the City staff and City Council to investigate houses being rented for events, which are not compatible with a residential community, to determine what may be done to alleviate this problem. The Sandbridge Beach Civic League (SBCL)was chartered in 1974.A purpose of the civic league under Article II,Section 5 of our bylaws is, "The SBCL shall cooperate with neighboring civic organizations to keep this section of Virginia Beach free from undesirable rezoning and to promote its betterment as a residential community." Furthermore, the City has zoned Sandbridge Beach residential. However, many people are building houses that are not residences but are being marketed for commercial events, which is not in keeping with this residential zoning.The civic league asks the City to help us restore the quality of life and the environment that lured many of us to call Sandbridge Beach home. We have begun discussions with Councilwoman Henley and Zoning Administrator Karen Lasley.We look forward to your support. •esp- ■ Ily, 0140 .

To clarify,the term "event home" is a marketing effort that the Real Estate rental companies use to identify larger homes capable of holding an event such as a wedding or a large family gathering. With the start of the vacation season,these homes draw specific attention each year from residents concerned with the changing landscape of the Sandbridge Resort community. As you can see from the attached info sheet, Sandbridge Beach is comprised of approximately 1,698 home parcels and condominium units(excluding the Outdoor Resort RV resort)with approximately 839 (49%)of these in the weekly rental pool. Our proximity to both the Atlantic Ocean and Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, along with a short drive to the Virginia Beach Resort area makes us an ideal vacation destination for families. Currently,there are approximately 50 homes(6%of the rental inventory) identified as "event homes". Last year when the same concerns were raised by residents, we worked with Karen Lasley,Zoning Administrator, who drafted guidelines limiting the use of these larger homes to just 3 'events" per year with provisions for adequate parking, noise abatement and trash containment. In turn these guidelines were adopted by the Real Estate rental companies and the affected Property Owners. We acknowledge that with the arrival of over 10,000 visitors to Sandbridge each week,some inconvenience is inevitable. However,we stand committed to addressing the resident's concerns and look forward to working closely with City staff in seeking a resolution. Respectfully,y, 44 Pat Barton President Attachment P.O.

June 23, 2015 -25- CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING MAYOR'S ENERGY ADVISORY COMMISSION (Continued) Below are the Legislative Issues Recommendations: Legislative Recommendations Legislative and regulatory initiatives identified by the Enerov Conservation Subcommittee: Support the adoption of higher building codes at the state level. Support the requirement of appraisers to include value for energy saving retrofits and renewables in property appraisals. Correct the issues with the Energy Efficiency Tax program(state jig,' code)to include: Eliminate the requirement for council to adopt the code annually. Remove the language tying it to a specific energy code version/level- ?=: instead base the certification on a set percentage higher than the current building code. Legislative Recommendations Legislative and regulatory initiatives identified by the Solar Subcommittee: Seek to remove barriers to solar in our residential areas,such as: E4 - Elimination of language prohibiting solar in covenants and deeds. : Allowing homeowners that are subject to Homeowner's Associations (HOA's)to make decisions by a simple majority regarding solar. .!..-14 Eliminating the need for deeds to be changed. 4;r, Allowing homeowners more say in the placement of panels(some + x9 neighborhoods say solar cannot be visible by"any"road). At the state level,there needs to be a review of the net metering program. 'u< There should be a requirement of appraisers "' q to include value for solar inert ro p p y appraisals. June 23, 2015 -26- CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING MAYOR'S ENERGY ADVISORY COMMISSION (Continued) Legislative Recommendations Support for the following legislative and regulatory actions is F„, recommended by MEAC as a whole: Initiatives that promote alternative energy resources in the Commonwealth of Virginia. a b.:$ - Initiatives that provide for the timely cost recovery of prudently a . . incurred investments in natural gas infrastructure. Proposals that ensure continued supply and capacity diversity and 71 reliability. A . Initiatives that provide incentives and tax credits for the use of natural gas vehicles. r.1 , Initiatives that promote energy efficiency and conservation programs; ;:. in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Legislative Recommendations Support for the following legislative and regulatory actions is recommended by MEAC as a whole(continued): Petitions to the SCC for the development of special rate structures that make it cheaper to charge electric vehicles during the off-peak ; hours. ,:Iils :+i - Incentives for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure,such as 3x- :'` state rebates and tax credits. t - Promote utility-based energy conservation programs. Mandates and incentives for renewable energy. . Expansion of a state-wide energy conservation program. IFv June 23, 2015 -27- CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFING MAYOR'S ENERGY ADVISORY COMMISSION (Continued) Additional Recommendations Creation of a City-wide office with sufficient staff and access to resources to consolidate efforts,create best practices and implement City-wide energy saving measures. The initiatives in this report cross many City departments,and City departments need to k improve communication and interaction with each other about these initiatives. Such an office could be created,in part,by merging the r �.6 Energy Office and the Environment and Sustainability Office. y Position this expanded City-wide office out of the Office of the Mayor or Office of the City Manager(currently the Environment and SustainabilityOffice is housed in Planningand the EnergyOffice is , , it housed in Public Works). Giving the expanded office greater visibility would help encourage City departments(and the community)to give sustainability and energy efficiency more consideration. In Conclusion The committee determined that there is an overarching need to establish a community-focused program to provide residents and businesses access to comprehensive efficiency services while increasing workforce development opportunities. Additional incentives for efficient building construction and management were determined to add value as well. v.
