ITEM#66419
4:41 P.M.
Mayor Sessoms welcomed Phil Pullen, Public Works. Mr. Pullen expressed his appreciation to the City
Council for their continued support and distributed a copy of the presentation, which is attached hereto
and made a part of this record. Mr. Pullen advised the presentation is to provide updated information on
the Southeastern Parkway (SEPG) and address four (4) questions: is the SEPG still a viable and
permitable regional limited access roadway; are there segments of the SEPG alignment that have
independent utility as roadway segments; are there other future/potential uses for the SEPG right-of-way;
and, what is the estimated sale value of the parcels that could be sold within the SEPG right-of-way? The
SEPG has been divided into five (5) segments and the traffic analyzed for volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio.
The segments that show high V/C are Segment 3: Dam Neck to Princess Anne Road(specifically between
Holland and Princess Anne Roads approaching capacity); Segment 4: Princess Anne to Indian River
Road (specifically Elbow Road is over capacity); and, Segment 5: Indian River to the Chesapeake City
Line (again Elbow Road is over capacity). The recommendation is to widen Elbow Road to six (6) lanes
or combine Segments 4 and 5 and create a new East/West connector.
Robin Brandenburg, City Real Estate Agent advised the total footprint of the SEPG is 525 acres. 313
acres are publically owned and 262 acres are City-owned property. Of the 262 acres owned by the City,
96 acres are defined "wetlands." By initial calculations, it appears as though the City has a surplus
property in each of the five segments.
Brian Solis, Transportation and Transit Planning Manager, provided an overview of the existing and
planned land use. The review of the ITA Master Plan just began and this information will be helpful in
updating the Plan. The property located within the Princess Anne Commons Corridor can be utilized for
the Biomedical initiative.
Mr. Pullen advised the Staff's recommendation is to remove Segments 1, 2 and most of Segment 3 from
the SEPG and Master Transportation Plan.
Mayor Sessoms thanked Mr. Pullen, Ms. Brandenburg, Mr. Solis and the entire Team for their hard
work.

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 idents 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.

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

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.

following declaration:
1. I am executing this written disclosure regarding City Council's discussion and
vote on an ordinance to authorize a temporary encroachment into a portion of City
property known as Black Duck Inlet, located at the rear of 305 Back Bay
Crescent.
2. Marshall H. Groom, Jr. and Jennifer Regan Hoover requested the encroachment
and have disclosed that TowneBank is one of their financial services providers.
3. I have a personal interest in TowneBank, which is located at 600 22nd Street in

Please record this declaration in the official records of City Council. Thank you for your
assistance.
Sincerely,

The following individuals registered to speak:
John Richardson, 2101 Parks Avenue, Suite 700, Phone: 491-4029, Attorney for the Applicant, advised
these lots are side-by-side; and, under the current Zoning Ordinance, the Applicant can build two (2)
large "square-box" type duplexes. However, to meet the overall objective of the Overlay District, the
Applicant has chosen to build four(4) cottages. The North Beach Civic League is in favor of this request.
Jane Arrington, 208 76th Street, Phone: 422-1516, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mrs. Arrington does not
object to two single family homes being built on the property but objects to four single family homes
being built. The street cannot handle the additional run-off and this should not be approved.
Joyce Walsh, 218A 76th Street, Phone: 641-2561, spoke in OPPOSITION. Ms. Walsh expressed concern
for the increased stormwater runoff. This street is quant and quiet but this fourplex will change the
integrity of their street.

he and his wife have lived on 76th Street for 23 years. This request will add up to six(6)additional homes
on their street. The current owners added additional foliage which has added a nice ambiance to the
street and creates privacy. This is a small street with only one lane and the additional homes are not
wanted on this road.

adequate parking at the Beach as is and this development will only increase the problem

Introduc ion1
The Pembroke Strategic Growth Area has evolved from its beginning as an early 20th century
speculative subdivision named Sunnybrook, situated along the railroad between Norfolk and
Virginia Beach, to an increasingly prominent position as the urban core of the City of Virginia
Beach. What began as a vision for a 'downtown' as set out in the 1991 Central Business
District Master Plan led to the establishment of the B-3A Pembroke Central Business Core
District and the development of the Virginia Beach Town Center.

In 2003, Town Center and the area surrounding it became the Pembroke Strategic Growth
Area, one of several key areas targeted to absorb our City's future growth. In order to
determine how to manage and achieve this growth, the City adopted master plans for each of
its Strategic Growth Areas. The Pembroke Strategic Growth Area 4 Implementation Plan
Page 1-1/CBC District Design Guidelines
January 2014Amended October 2016
DUCTION
(referred to in this document as the Pembroke SGA Plan) was adopted in 2009 to establish a
shared, long term vision - and an implementation strategy to achieve that vision - for the
Pembroke SGA. The Plan divides the Pembroke SGA into six `urban districts,' with each
district possessing a slightly different purpose and design character. The `CBD/Core' District is
envisioned as a strong urban nucleus with high density, commercial development that will serve
as a focal point for region-serving retail, hotel, and office uses while also creating an urban
skyline for Virginia Beach. As development moves away from the Core district, land use
densities will decrease, but the urban framework continues. The creation of this urban
framework, particularly when the existing `canvas' is suburban, requires a combination of
appropriate zoning regulations and design guidelines that address both the public and private
realm.
Pu pose
The purpose of the Central Business Core District
Design Guidelines is to: 2 �. t' 1`� .�� t` t'
a. Assist property owners and developers
regarding appropriate site, building, and sign ', , . ,�-.• ' r
design for the District. r h'
i ' t
b. Encourage innovation and creativity in the "' ``r► - 4 I r�
design and use of sites, buildings, and signage in ,, r , T1. - it
the District; ‘1� � `t r' ' ti` +t.
c. Enhance the visual appeal, and thus the general
ambience of the District, making it a more
pleasant place for residents and visitors;
f��r y...
d. Encourage replacement of legally, .,rrr;,4:
nonconforming buildings and signage with `! rt"'
those that meet the new zoning regulations
and the Design Guidelines; CMSS Architects 2009
e. Enable an alternate means by which a development can comply with zoning regulations
and achieve the goals of those regulations without following a strictly prescribed form.
These Design Guidelines are not mandatory requirements; they are voluntary and strongly
encouraged.
Page 1-2 /CBC District Design Guidelines
January 2014Amended October 2016
INTRODU STION 1
Applicability
As noted above, these Guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the zoning regulations of
the Central Business Core (CBC) District (Article 22 of the City Zoning Ordinance). In
addition to the specific regulations for the Central Business Core (CBC) District, there are two
other sets of available provisions for development. The first of these, "Optional Forms of
Development," is a by-right option by which one or more of the prescribed (required) forms
may be altered or even eliminated if certain building features and/or elements described in
these Guidelines are provided. The OFD provisions in Section 2206 are intended to provide
the opportunity for a different, but equally desirable, means of accomplishing the same end
result as would be provided by the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
The second provision, "Special Exception for Alternative Compliance," applies to development
proposals that, while not conforming to the applicable Design Guidelines, are nonetheless
visually attractive and advance the goals of the District. Therefore, in recognition that not all
design criteria in these Guidelines may be workable or appropriate for every design, the
Alternative Compliance provisions of Section 2205 may be used as an alternative to strict
conformity with the Design Guidelines and with the Code. Such decisions will be made by City
Council on a case-by-case basis with the overall purposes of the Design Guidelines and the
Code as the guiding principles.
flev- lopment Principles
These Guidelines are based on the following Development Principles as provided in the
Pembroke Strategic Growth Area 4 Implementation Plan:
I. Efficient use of land resources
Applying the land use techniques of compact development, infill development, and shifting
toward more structured parking areas 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 dependency on the
automobile and more cost-effective use of existing infrastructure.
Page 1-3/CBC District Design Guidelines
January 2011Amended October 2016
1 INTR•DUCTION
2. Full use of urban services
Compact development patterns mean more people will benefit from using existing public
infrastructure and services such as roads, schools, water, sewer, police, fire, rescue and others.
While expansion of some existing facilities and services will be necessary, the findings of many
studies across the county show that, in the long, run, low-density sprawl costs more tax dollars
to serve than does compact development.
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. Architectural design considerations and controlling the hours of
business operations must be factored into the land use strategy.
4. Transportation opportunities
Compact development patterns afford greater choice of transportation alternatives and less
overall congestion than is otherwise experienced in communities that are almost exclusively
suburban. This contributes to decreased dependence on the automobile, especially the single
occupied vehicle, reduction in citywide vehicle miles traveled, increased opportunities for more
efficient and cost-effective forms of shared and mass transportation and opportunities to
commute by walking or biking. Other opportunities include local and metropolitan transit
systems to link to regional and interstate transportation systems which leads to cleaner air and
safer travel.
5. Detailed human-scale
design

with special paving, landscaping, lighting, and other features that create an interesting and
inviting environment. When designed and built with quality in mind, these physical 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. As is the case in nature, cities evolve and
gradually adapt to changes in their physical environment.
6. Environmental stewardship
Sustaining the urban setting requires public and private involvement in improving and
maintaining the various components of the natural and built infrastructure. Private
development practices utilizing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design TM (LEED) and
other certification type construction have now been incorporated into public planning practice.
Many rural and suburban municipalities promote it—this through incentives, while major
metropolitans incorporate *-sustainable building practices into their ordinance, regulations and
planning documents. Current public and private partnerships arc advancing the LEED for

Streets communicate the quality of the public environment and the care a city has for its
residents. Collectively, streets are the largest area of public space in the city. Accordingly,
their design should be of the highest quality and should ensure that they are intended for all of
modes of transportation —from the motor vehicles that traditionally travel along most of the
width of the street, to the bicycles that share that width, to the pedestrian that travels the
sidewalk along the edge.
Design Principle 5, presented earlier in these Guidelines, 1111 EnI11
stresses the importance of streets and the creation of the y 1� 11 11
`streetscape that frames each street: --- -- -

key community goal. It is important for these areas to be , �� :: ::

activity along the streets, sidewalks,and public spaces.` V
Urban streetscapes are designed with special paving, i 114,1'
landscaping, lighting,and other features that create an +'k p
interesting and inviting environment.
Design is important for all facets of the streetscape, including the overall street network, the
number and width of vehicular travel lanes, and an especially careful consideration of the
sidewalk element, which contains much more than just a paved walking path. These Guidelines
promote streets that are integral components of the overall urban design of the District.
As new streets are created, continue the
grid pattern established in Town Center
and reinforced in the Pembroke SGA Plan.
Expanding the public street network will ;
provide alternate travel routes and open "
up parcels for higher density development
with greater visibility.

Buildings 3
The relationship of buildings to the public and private spaces around them is critical to the
overall success of the Central Business Core District. Building placement, massing, and
appearance define this relationship. Each building's architectural style, form, rhythm of bays and
openings, architectural details, exterior materials, textures, and color work together to provide
an environment that encourages pedestrians to linger and experience everything around them.
Design elements such as windows, awnings, canopies, seating, and the extension of interior
uses, such as dining, into the sidewalk area create an active street environment that makes for a
great urban place.
The street is often described by urban designers as "a
Placement large outdoor room." The ability to shape this room
exists on every street, and its walls are defined by the
primary facades of its buildings, which create a street wall. The proximity of the building to the
street (placement) and the continuity of buildings placed along the street create the street wall,
which is one of the most important components of an urban area.
To maintain a consistent street wall, avoid ':14.
large gaps between buildings, unless the M f 3
area is used for outdoor amenity space, 1 - �,
such as a plaza or forecourt.

How building mass is distributed on a site usually has the
Mas greatest impact on a project's overall appearance and on the
strength of the street wall. Breaking the footprint of a large
building into smaller parts and varying a building's height through the creation of smaller
structures or facades is a valuable concept when designing large projects that consume half a
block or more. Sculpting a building's massing can also help avoid big bulky structures that result
in visual monotony rather than visual interest. It is the well-balanced variety of building massing
and textures of shadow, light, and material that, in total, add to the richness of the District's
built environment.

Par ing Structures
Traditionally, the design of parking structures takes a secondary position to the development of
larger projects. Parking structures are often treated as nothing more than buildings having the
sole function of providing a place for people to park their cars and not as an integral part of the
design fabric of the locale. The following guidelines are intended to encourage parking
structures that are integrated into the desired design fabric of the CBC District and the
immediate area in which they are located, so that ultimately, parking structures will be viewed
as long-term, quality amenities to the city and not as utilitarian 'quick-fixes' for a parking
problem.

Outdoor Spaces outdoor open space is at a premium. The public, semi-

instrumental in determining the success of a use at a particular location. Often it is these
spaces that act as the transition between the use and the public domain of the street and

Signs are one of the most noticeable visual elements of any urban area. Not only do signs
communicate information about the goods or services being offered at a particular
establishment, they also communicate something about the quality of the particular business

their message clearly, but without attempting to compete for attention, will help maintain a

Sustainability 6
Sustainable design and building practices can reduce pollution, save money, and enhance the
quality of our built environment. Designed properly, many of these practices can serve multiple
purposes, like managing stormwater while providing outdoor amenity space. Certification
programs like Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), EarthCraft, and the
Sustainable SITES Initiative (SITES TM) are encouraged as they provide standards for assessing
sustainable design and materials. However, even small, inexpensive features can go a long way
to contributing to sustainable design.

Transportation
Encouraging alternative modes of , !
transportation, including mass transit, bikes, 4ifir
walking, and low or no-emission vehicles
will contribute to improved air quality.

Bicycle parking should be installed near
building entrances in safe, well-lit locations

both form and function in mind. Some

6 SUSTAINABILITY
Bioretention Areas
6.3 " sas ?
Bioretention areas capture and treat
stormwater runoff as it filters into the
ground and replenishes groundwater. With
appropriate plantings, these areas can
enhance and soften the hardscape of the
urban area. They can also take advantage of
underutilized spaces, like road medians,
parking lot islands, pavement edges, and
courtyards. This"stormwater planter"in Portland,OR takes
advantage of limited space by placing a soil filter in an
above-ground container.
6.4 Blue Roofs
To get both cooling and stormwater
detention benefits, blue roofs use controls
atop the roof's downspouts to detain rx~
stormwater runoff flow from the roof. The
water is eventually released to a
stormwater harvesting or infiltration
system at a controlled flow rate. ,.:
This blue roof system captures rainwater in gravel filled
trays.
6.5 Building Materials
Use building materials made from
sustainable resources and manufacturing
processes.

6 SUSTAINABILITY
Native Plantings and Soils
Using native plant and tree species along
with soil restoration will boost the
survivability of plants in a harsh, urban
environment. These plant materials and
1q
soils reduce runoff from otherwise
impervious, compacted surfaces. Adequate
soil volume is essential for healthy, long
term sustainable growth for plant material.
Streetscape plantings at Town Center.
6.10 Open Space Preservation
Natural open space is even more important
in urban areas because of its scarcity. In
addition to providing relief from the urban
hardscape, natural open space can provide
valuable outdoor amenity space for walking,
hiking, and biking, protect waterways from
erosion and runoff, and increase urban tree
canopy. In particular, natural features such
as mature trees or treestands that provide
urban tree canopy or riparian buffers that
protect natural waterways should be
preserved and enhanced.

Plant Walls
Plant walls, also called "vertical gardens" or
