Background
The City's 10 volunteer rescue squads own
and operate a fleet of 38 ambulances.
Rescue squads purchase these ambulances
using community donations, supplemented at
times with State grants.
Upon request, the City traditionally offers no-
interest loans to support procurement.

The City insures the ambulances; however, coverage applies to the value of the asset and not the
replacement cost:
Insurance
• The City is self-insured for collision and
liability coverage (includes ambulances).
P A catastrophic policy is in place with a
$50,000 deductible.
Coverage applies to the value of the asset and
not the replacement cost.
City-owned total losses are typically handled
in the normal vehicle replacement process.
Nineteen (19) City-owned vehicles were lost as a result of Hurricane Matthew:
Hurricane Matthew Damages
19 City-owned vehicles were considered lost.
An appropriation request for $1 ,258,858 has
been submitted to replace these vehicles.
0 The request did not include ambulances
because they are not owned by the City
directly.

Below are the financial considerations regarding the three(3)ambulances:
Financial Considerations
There were no active loans for the
ambulances.

Neither rescue squad is in the position to
absorb the full cost of replacements within
their operating budgets.
Emergency grant funding has been obtained
from the Virginia Office of EMS
$1 57,685 Davis Corner
$134,866 Kempsville
Below are alternative courses of action:
Alternative Course of Action
Alternative #1 - City provides grants in the
amount not covered by emergency grant
funds. Any insurance and scrap value will be
recouped by the City.
Alternative #2 - City provides 50% of the
value not covered by grant or insurance. No-
interest loans offered to cover the balance if
necessary.

Below is the Staff recommendation. There is an Ordinance on tonight's Agenda for City Council's
consideration:
Recommendation
Adopt Alternative #1 - Provide grants to the
squads for the balance of the replacement
costs ($44,000 Davis Corner and $205,000
Kernpsville).
City will recoup any insurance payments and scrap
sale.
City will also pursue disaster grant reimbursement.

In 2010, a comprehensive building assessment performed by Waller, Todd and Sadler, PACE
Collaborative and Geo Environmental Resources. Under the best of circumstances, the City is 5-7 years
away from a new or renovated building, should it be started today:
Ca
i The Building Has Served Us Well ...
• 2010,comprehensive building assessment performed
— Waller Todd and Sadler,PACE Collaborative,and Geo
Environmental Resources
• Comprehensive review of architectural,structural,plumbing,
mechanical,electrical systems,and environmental conditions
• Assessment identified specific deficiencies and included the
following statement:
— The physical configuration of the building,in our opinion,does
not allow for adequate compartmentalization to
accommodate partial or phased occupancy during the
abatement/renovation procedures.(The potential for public
as well as employee exposure is too great to take that
chance.)
• Under the best of circumstances,we are 5—7 years away from a
new or renovated building if we started today

Thomas Nicholas, Facilities Engineer — Public Works advised the photos below show the asbestos
containing materials (ACM) located above the Conference Room 350, the stairwell and the chimney. In
the 1960's, it was common to use ACM on steel joists as 'fire proofing" in an effort to delay the heating
of steel, so the concrete decks do not collapse:

ACM is also used on mudded pipe fittings, which is a steel elbow,joining two sections of fiberglass used
for hot and chill water piping. These are "abated"as needed at$120 a linear foot:

ACM was used on the flexible duct connector, which reduces vibration between the air handler, supply

ACM are the least of the worries regarding City Hall:
Unfortunately,Asbestos Containing Materials
Are the Least of Our Worries...
• We will continue to professionally manage ACM
containment.
• Electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems are on
borrowed time. Typical equipment lifespan(s)are
20-25 years,we're now at 48.
• When these systems fail,there will be no warning.
Building will no longer be habitable.
• We cannot replace these systems without
comprehensive ACM abatement.
The branch circuit distribution panels on each floor are filled to capacity. In order to work on the main
electrical distribution system, located in the basement, the power to the entire building must be shut-off.
Also, the replacement breakers, switches and/or fuses for the main electrical distribution system are
nearly impossible to find. The open branch circuit panel is also filled to capacity. Should the vertical
feed-through electrical distribution panel wiring short to the conduit, it will take down the entire stack of
panels. Power to the "stack" would be out for months and replacement would require extensive
abatement, installation of new conduit and wiring. In addition, no ground wires are in the branch circuit
wiring and upgrades are not possible due to asbestos:

The fire alarm system has exceeded its useful life and needs replacement and upgrades to meet current
codes. The Halon System in the City Clerk's Office is a manual release only system and is not tied into
the fire alarm panel. This system also requires replacement with a modern special hazard chemical that
is not Halon. The sprinkler system piping has exceeded its useful life. Leaks or burst piping will require
abatement, containment and clean-up, as piping is above the ceiling. This system does not cover all
floors and areas of the building as the 2"d and 3'd floors do not have sprinkler coverage, nor does the

Just since July 2015, below are the maintenance and renovation challenges Building 1 has faced:
( %i� Maintenance and Renovation Challenges
(Just since I arrived in July 2015)
• July 29,2015—Broken hot water line under building required shut down of HVAC,causing
cooling of dielectric couplings and subsequent water leaks above ceiling when system was re-
pressurized.
• November 25,2015—Lost HVAC service to Council Chambers for several days. Had to replace
AHU-1 motor.
• February 19,2016—IT initiated project to upgrade their Council Chamber Video Production
Facilities.Confirmation of significant asbestos above ceiling in Council Chambers has had
project on hold for months. Can't work above ceiling until space above ceiling is remediated.
• April 14,2016—While attempting to replace Conference Room 350 Video Projector with
enhanced equipment,discovered asbestos containment barrier failure above ceiling.Required
extensive testing and air monitoring.Couldn't replace projector.
• April 29,2016—HVAC mechanical room pipe failure,significant leak.
' • July 1,2016—Power outage caused chill/hot water pump valve switches to lock on hot water
side—providing heat instead of AC.Had to take down system.
• September 10,2016—Hurricane Matthew revealed failed pointing and flashing in City Hall
Chimneys.Water intrusion caused leaks above main stairwell,in City Manager's office and
Mayor's office.Ceiling tile replacement should have been next to nothing,but asbestos
containment and abatement was expensive.
• January 7,2017—Winter Storm Helena caused a Dominion Virginia Power outage,reducing
City Hall power from 3-phase to single-phase.Chill water pump burned up and needed to be
replaced.

The building does not have an emergency power system, such as a generator, which affects multiple
systems and departments in the event of a power outage. When the building loses a phase or two of
power from Dominion Virginia Power, instead of a back-up generator kicking in to supply the 3-phase,
the building continues to run on single-phase, causing a number of pump motors to burn-up each time:

— IT staff is dispersed in 9 different Municipal Center buildings
• Public Utilities Department—Needs additional SF now and long-term
— PU staff is dispersed in 3 different Municipal Center buildings.
• A"combined PU/IT facility"would require 77,000 gross SF
— Renovating and repurposing 13-1 for this function looks like an opportunity
• Public Safety/Police Department,B-11
— Condition of 8-His very similar to that of City Hall
— Basement and 2^°Floor of 8-2 would make great swing space for B-11 renovation
• Public Works Department—Needs more SF now and long-term in B-2
— PW staff is dispersed in 4 different Municipal Center buildings
— Could consolidate using 2^"and 3'"floor of B-2
• Planning Department—Needs more SF now and long-term in B-2

There has been well over 20 years-worth of studying transit
connectivity in Hampton Roads. For Virginia Beach,that includes
three different referenda on whether light rail should connect into
our city,as part of a regional fixed transit system.
We need to come up with a set of solutions for transit connectivity
that achieves more of a community consensus.
Below are the public transportation services provided on the Southside of the Region. The City, in
coordination with HRT, developed a circuit through the core part of the City for snow routes. On

The overall goal is to improve the public transportation system for transit-dependent riders and increase
choice ridership as a way to increase mobility options in the City and the Region. The recommendation is
to develop a plan that has the public's insight, while relying on HRT and choice riders:
GOALS FOR IMPROVING CONNECTIVITY
Citywide Bus Service
With the proposed light rail extension,bus service hours doubled
throughout Virginia Beach. Staff recommends analyzing options for
growing our public transportation service with the support of the public.
With over 500 bus stops in Virginia Beach,we are also committed to
improving bus stop amenities with shelters,benches and sidewalk
connections.
The overall goal is to improve the public transportation system for transit-
dependent riders and increase choice ridership as a way to increase
mobility options in the city and region. Current transit mode split for the
region is only less than 1%. Growing a regional transit network increases
workforce commuting options and decreases rate of congestion.
Only 0.8%of Hampton Roads residents use transit as a mode to work:

may be used for various public transportation projects:
IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS
2017 GENERAL ASSEMBLY REQUESTED ACTION
HB 2021 Norfolk Southern Railway right-of-way;public transit or multimodal
transportation projects.
Patron: Del.Ron Villanueva
Provides that the right-of-way of the Norfolk Southern Railway acquired by
City of Virginia Beach may be used for various public transportation projects.
•In 2010,the City of Virginia Beach received funds from the Transportation
Opportunity Fund and agreed to purchase the Norfolk Southern right-of-way
to use for the extension of the light rail system.
•Resulting from a referendum in 2016,the City of Virginia Beach is not
currently pursuing light rail as a erode of public transportation at this time.
•City may still wish to use the right-of-way for public transit,in the future.
•HB 2021 would remove designation of light roil as the specified use of the
right-of-way,and allow projects that"may include light rail,bus rapid transit,
express bus lanes,roadways or tracks for developing technologies,a high-
speed information corridor'or other projects such os a shared use pathway.

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.

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 identfing 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 far the
purpose of identing any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If during her

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.

Hurricane Matthew Ambulance Replacement Policy Report
Background
For over 50 years, the City's ten volunteer rescue squads have purchased their
own ambulances. While the City generously provides no-interest loans to support
procurement, the vehicles are ultimately paid for by community donations and regular
support from the Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance Fund. This unique partnership
today maintains a fleet of 38 ambulances at minimal cost to the City.
The City of Virginia Beach provides insurance coverage for rescue squad
ambulances. This covers repairs in the event of a collision as well as liability coverage.
Unfortunately, the coverage does not include replacement when the vehicle is deemed
to be beyond repair. This standard is similar to city-owned apparatus. Historically,
when a rescue squad-owned ambulance has been totaled in a crash, the rescue squad
has been responsible for replacement cost while outstanding loans have been forgiven
by City Council. The City has provided grants to assist with replacement in some
cases, but this has not been done in every incident.
As a result of high water exposure during Hurricane Matthew, one Davis Corner
and two Kempsville Volunteer Rescue Squad ambulances were damaged beyond
economical repair.
UNIT DESCRIPTION MILEAGE
222 2011 Chevrolet Ambulance 68,784
921 2010 Chevrolet Ambulance 152,990
922 2010 Chevrolet Ambulance 162,108
The first appraisal by Atlantic Claims Service in conjunction with the City Garage
estimated a cash value of $55,600 for the two Kempsville ambulances and $37,233 for
the Davis Corner ambulance. To date, there has been no official assessment by AIG
Insurance in conjunction with the City's Risk Management Office.
Meanwhile 19 city-owned vehicles were considered lost. An appropriation
request for $1258,858 to replace those vehicles has been submitted to City Council.
The appropriation request did not include monies for the rescue squads.
Considerations
• Operational/Maintenance
All ambulances are owned by the rescue squads, but they are operated as if they
were owned by the City. Career employees may be assigned to drive the
ambulances. All maintenance decisions are made by the City's Automotive
Services Division.
There is no fund dedicated to replace City vehicles lost in crashes. When a city-
owned vehicle is damaged beyond repair, Automotive Services arranges to
replace it within the normal procurement process. Wrecked vehicles are moved
to the top of the list, delaying other downstream replacements. Since
ambulances are owned by the individual rescue squads, Automotive Services
has no obligation, nor funding, to replace them when catastrophic damage
occurs. This includes scenarios where a paid City employee is the vehicle
operator—as was the case for one of the damaged ambulances.
For Hurricane Matthew, a request was made to City Council to appropriate funds
for immediate replacement of all damaged City vehicles. The request reflected
full replacement cost with no consideration of age or depreciation.
• Organizational
Rescue squad ambulances are purchased and owned by individual rescue
squads. All other EMS apparatus are owned by the City. When either the squad
or Automotive Services identifies an ambulance due for replacement, the squad
pursues funds for procurement. More often than not this includes a request for a
no-interest loan from City Council. This arrangement has worked for routine
replacements, but the squads typically do not have contingency funds to allow for
emergent replacements.
In the current situation, the Davis Corner Rescue Squad cannot afford to take on
additional debt. The Kempsville Rescue Squad's reserves would be hard-
pressed to take on an additional loan payment. The extended period without
any type of insurance payment is also delaying procurement of replacements and
placing a burden on remaining apparatus.
• Legal
The City of Virginia Beach is able to provide grants and loans to individual rescue
squads.
• Budgetary
Automotive Services requested approximately $1,258,858 to replace vehicles
damaged during Hurricane Matthew. Funding came from the Fund Balance and
Contingency accounts. It is hoped that some of these monies will eventually be
recouped via Public Assistance claims to FEMA.
The individual rescue squads integrate ambulance purchases/loan payments into
their operating budgets. While the squads have consistently been able to pay
their vehicle bills, contingency funds for unplanned replacements are limited. In
order to avoid cash flow problems, the Davis Corner Rescue Squad requires
immediate assistance to place the large down payment on their ambulance.
Kempsville is in a position to adjust reserve funds in order to cover their down
payment.
With the assistance of the Department of EMS, both squads pursued emergency
grant funds from the Virginia Office of EMS. Thanks to these efforts, Kempsville
and Davis Corner received partial awards leaving gaps of $205,000 for
Kempsville and $44,000 for Davis Corner. As noted above, no insurance
payments have been made, nor has an official estimate been provided by the
City's insurer.
Public Information
Discussion of any local grants will be published via normal City Council packets.
There has been considerable media interest in disaster response and recovery efforts.
Alternative Course of Action
Alternative #1: City of Virginia Beach provides the rescue squads a grant in the amount
not covered Virginia Office of EMS Emergency Grant funding. Any insurance and scrap
value will be recouped by the City.
Advantages:
• Aligns replacement practices with City-owned apparatus
• Reduces unanticipated burden on both rescue squads
• Faster process for replacement
Disadvantages:
• Higher cost to the City
• Replacement cost is much higher than actual value of the asset
3
Alternative #2: City of Virginia Beach provides partial funding of 50% of the balance not
covered by grant or insurance. No-interest loans will be available to cover the balance if
necessary.
Advantages:
• Aligns replacement practices with City-owned apparatus while still
maintaining an obligation by the rescue squad owners
• Lower cost for City
• City's financial commitment more in line with the value of the asset
Disadvantages:
• Procurement will be delayed until insurance payments are resolved
• Cost to the City
• City has no stake in the asset other than its availability for operations in
the Virginia Beach EMS system
Alternative #3: Rescue Squads take full responsibility for replacement costs not
covered by grants or insurance with the assistance of no-interest loans.
Advantages:
• No direct cost for the City
• Avoids mixing rescue squad and City funding
Disadvantages:
• Significant unanticipated burden for the rescue squads
• Delayed replacement of the lost ambulances awaiting insurance payments
• Establishes a double standard for replacement of vital emergency
equipment
Recommendations
It is recommended that the City of Virginia Beach pursue Option #1 and provide
grants to the squads for the balance of the replacement cost ($205,000 Kempsville,
$44,000 Davis Corner). This will ensure prompt replacement of the vehicles and a
faster return to normalcy for the squads. The ambulances are not city-owned, but they
do provide vital services equal or greater to the other damaged vehicles slated to be
replaced using emergent appropriations.
The City should recoup any insurance payments and proceeds for scrap sale.
Disposition of the disabled vehicles can be facilitated via the City Garage's normal
surplus auction process. The City will file for reimbursement from FEMA for the
amount of the grants as part of the federal public assistance declaration.
4
The recommended approach maintains the current obligations of ownership by
the rescue squads while providing them with significant financial relief. It also
represents an investment by the City to maintain an effective ambulance fleet to serve
the community. The process will be expedited by moving forward ahead of insurance
payments, thus avoiding delays which may endanger grant awards.
It is further recommended that the Chief of EMS, in coordination with the Fleet
Management and Risk Management Divisions of the City, establish a working group to
review the efficacy of the current ambulance procurement and insurance process and
offer alternatives for improvements in the future.

worked hard on this addition to the 2016 Comprehensive Plan.

Staff for all of their work on this addition to the 2016 Comprehensive Plan.
Edward Brown, 1309 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Phone: 321-6459, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mr. Brown
is not opposed to the addition of the Historic Seatack Suburban Focus Area; however, he does oppose his
property at 1309 VB Boulevard, deeded in the "Oceana Gardens Community" being included in this
area. Mr. Brown advised there are many that oppose the way the community has been defined in the
Comprehensive Plan and he requested the Planning Commission remove his property. As is, his property
falls in the APZ1 Zone and is already highly restricted.

DESCRIPTION
The Historic Seatack community, located in the City's Oceanfront Resort Area, is thought to be the
oldest African-American settlement in Virginia and possibly in the United States. Outlined by the dashed
black line on the above map, it is generally centered on the Birdneck Road corridor between Old Virginia
Beach Road and Bells Road, on Virginia Beach Boulevard between West Lane and the convention center
area,and along Southern Boulevard/Norfolk Avenue,and includes the area of Atlantic Park. It is
bounded on the east by Lake Rudee, Owls Creek, and the Marshview Park area and on the west by the
Oceana Gardens Neighborhood and the industrial and residential areas lust east of NAS Oceana. The
original settlement,which was once much larger extending to the present day Virginia Beach
oceanfront,was formed by free men and dates back to the late 1700s to early 1800s. The area
eventually took its name from the words"Sea Attack," based on British warship cannons positioned off
the Virginia Beach shoreline that fired inland during the War of 1812. A more detailed accounting of the
Seatack community's history is located in the Technical Report.
Seatack is an integral part of the Resort Area and,while primarily a residential community with
supporting religious institutions and public facilities, such as a neighborhood park and recreation center
it also includes some businesses and light industry. With the improvement of Birdneck Road,this area is
now well-served by a strategically located transportation corridor.
Much of the SFA is constrained by the Special Flood Hazard Area, is owned by the Federal Government
or has Navy restrictive easements, is impacted by military aircraft accident potential zones(APZ-1 and
APZ-2)and the highest noise zones(70—75 dB DNL and greater than 75 dB DNL). Per market trends and
the requirements of Article 18,Special Regulations in Air Installations Compatible Use Zones(AICUZI
Overlay, new development and redevelopment of property within the SFA has occurred with uses
compatible with flight operations at nearby NAS Oceana. In some cases,this development activity has
altered the character of this historic community.
The SFA is in a flat, low-lying area in proximity to waterways and wetland areas in the Lynnhaven River
system and the Owls Creek watershed. Drainage issues and recurrent flooding,especially associated
with new development, have been observed which has, in some cases, negatively impacted existing
residential areas.
There are several significant historic and cultural landmarks in this SFA that are important to the history
and progress of the community. They should be recognized and/or protected as local historic or cultural
landmarks. There may be opportunities to place historical markers at some of these sites and/or have
them included on the Virginia Beach Historic Register through nomination by the property owners.
The recommendations for the Historic Seatack SFA are found below and are focused on the properties
encompassed by the solid red line on the above map.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. All new development, redevelopment and additions to structures should adhere to the City
Zoning Ordinance requirements established in Article 18,Special Regulations in Air Installations
Compatible Use Zones(AICUZ)Overlay.
2. All new development, redevelopment and additions to structures,will,as required,adhere to
the requirements of Code of Virginia Beach,Appendix I, Airport Noise Attenuation and Safety
Ordinance.
3. New development should respect the historic settlement of this area and should be compatible
with the neighborhood. Significant landscape screening buffers should be established between
existing residential areas and new non-residential development to mitigate adverse visual and
noise impacts.
4. A careful mix of compatible land uses should be maintained where they currently exist and
should be encouraged as new land uses are proposed so as to contribute to the day-to-day life
of community residents.
5. Uses incompatible with existing residential should be discouraged to minimize impact to
adjacent residential neighborhoods.
6. Building design should be visually interesting, encourage greater social interaction, and provide
a memorable character.
7. Neighborhood identification signs should be installed at neighborhood entrances/gateways.
8. Recognition of historic and cultural landmarks and sites should be encouraged by nomination to
the Virginia Beach Historical Register OF and/or by the installation of interpretive historic site
markers.
9. In partnership with and guidance from the Seatack Community.explore the potential benefits
and regulatory impacts of delineation and adoption of a local Historic and Cultural District, if
desired by the community and property owners.
10. All new development should be designed such that site drainage and stormwater management
does not negatively impact adjacent parcels.
11. Maintain stormwater facilities and encourage the retrofit of existing drainage system problem
areas.
12. New development, redevelopment, and site improvements should be encouraged to use porous
materials for driveways,walkways and other similar surfaces,wherever feasible,to achieve a
net reduction in impervious coverage.
13. Enhance landscaping in the Birdneck Road medians where there are opportunities to do so.
14. The Virginia Aquarium and City's Marshview Park improvement projects should provide
education and recreation opportunities for Seatack residents through neighborhood outreach
programs.
15. New development and public facilities improvements should accommodate multiple modes of
transportation(e.g. pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers) and accessibility needs.
New Page 1-98
Insert a new page 1-98 as follows, moving the previous section verbatim from current page 1-96 which
reads, "AGENDA FOR FUTURE ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS: Suburban Area"to here and with the
following deletion shown inst...."cth"•-ugh:
AGENDA FOR FUTURE ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS: Suburban Area
• Develop infill development guidelines as a component of the"Special Area Development
Guidelines: Suburban Area" in the Reference Handbook.
• Develop tools to encourage new investment in declining commercial centers.
• Develop tools to assist distressed property owner associations with the preservation and
maintenance of neighborhood parks and open spaces.
• Revise the Suburban Area section of the Comprehensive Plan as appropriate when sea level rise
and recurrent flooding policies are developed and/or adopted by the City Council.
• To ensure that the function of Princess Anne Road is not reduced due to numerous access points
within Suburban Focus Area 2.1 (North Courthouse),the City should construct all or a portion of
at least two lanes of London Bridge/Drakesmile Extended.
• Study the area between Holly Road and Pacific Avenue, north of 32nd Street to 42nd Street(the
southern boundary of North End SFA)to determine need for infill development and
redevelopment policies and design guidelines.
