AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 28-9 of Chapter 28 (Sewers and Sewage
Disposal) of the City Code Pertaining to Sewer Cleanouts
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background: Staff became aware when maintenance requirements became
necessary for a sewer cleanout that the sewer chapter of the City Code (Chapter 28) did
not have the language that is in the water supply chapter (Chapter 37) in regard to who
owns the cleanouts and who shall repair them. Section 37-14 makes clear that the
water meters are owned and maintained by the City. The revision to Section 28-9
makes clear that all cleanouts are owned and maintained by the City and that Public
Utilities has the authority to come onto private property to do such maintenance or
repairs.
• Considerations: This amendment clarifies the ability of Public Utilities to come
onto public or private property to maintain, relocate or repair sewer cleanouts.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the Ordinance.
• Attachments: Ordinance

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Rescind the Authorization for the City Manager to Seek
Transportation Partnership Opportunity Fund Grants for the Atlantic Avenue
Reconfiguration Project
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background: On February 21, 2017, the City Council received a briefing from
Deputy City Manager Leahy. That briefing described the Atlantic Avenue
Reconfiguration Project (the "Project"), and acknowledging the Council had no interest
in paying for the realignment of Atlantic Avenue, Mr. Leahy offered the possibility of the
State's Transportation Partnership Opportunity Fund as a possible funding source for
the Project. On March 7, 2017, the City Council adopted a resolution to authorize the
City Manager to apply for a Transportation Partnership Opportunity Fund (TPOF) grant
to fund the realignment of Atlantic Avenue.
The City Manager on April 28, 2017 submitted a TPOF grant application in the amount
of $2,497,000 to Ms. Misty Upson, Debt & Innovative Finance Analyst, of the Virginia
Department of Transportation. On May 1, 2017 the then Secretary of Transportation,
now Secretary of Finance, for the Commonwealth of Virginia, in a letter to the City
Manager notified the City that he would not support the City's application for a TPOF
grant, and he "remain[s] concerned by public remarks made by [the City Manager] and
City Council members indicating that the Project does not merit city funds for the road."
A copy of this letter is attached to this item.
On March 9, 2018, the City Manager submitted another TPOF grant request to Ms.
Upson of the Virginia Department of Transportation. The City Council was not copied
on this transmittal. The amount of the grant request was $2,989,000.
The FY18 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), adopted on May 9, 2017, appropriated
$245,000 to the Project for preliminary design, and the FY18 CIP included a project
page for Capital Project #2-138, Atlantic Avenue Reconfiguration with a history and
current status providing: "Public Works continues to try to secure a grant to complete
the majority of the work within this project scope." On May 15, 2018, the Council
adopted the FY19 Capital Improvement Program, which includes an updated project
page for Capital Project #2-138, Atlantic Avenue Reconfiguration and retains the history
and current status providing: "Public Works continues to try to secure a grant to
complete the majority of the work within this project scope."
• Considerations: The attached resolution rescinds the authorization for the City
Manager to seek TPOF grants for the Atlantic Avenue Reconfiguration Project.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.

5
6 WHEREAS, the City Council adopted a resolution on March 7, 2017, to authorize
7 the City Manager to apply for a Transportation Partnership Opportunity Fund (TPOF)
8 grant to fund the construction of Atlantic Avenue Reconfiguration Project (the "Project");
9 and
10
11 WHEREAS, the Secretary of Transportation for the Commonwealth of Virginia on
12 May 1, 2017 notified the City Manager that he would not support the TPOF grant
13 submitted by the City Manager on behalf of the City Council on April 28, 2017 in the
14 amount of$2,497,000 to fund the construction of Capital Project#2-138, Atlantic Avenue
15 Reconfiguration; and
16
17 WHEREAS, the then Secretary of Transportation, now Secretary of Finance for
18 the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Honorable Aubrey L. Layne, Jr. in his letter of May 1,
19 2017 shared his conclusion that he will not support the City's application because the
20 Project was not a priority for excess state urban formula funds and that he "remain[s]
21 concerned by public remarks made by [the City Manager] and City Council members
22 indicating that the Project does not merit city funds for the road;" and
23
24 WHEREAS, the City Council has not once but twice adopted Capital Improvement
25 Program (CIP) Budgets in FY 2017-2018 on May 9, 2017 and FY 2018-2019 on May 15,
26 2018 without providing local funding to construct the Project; and
27
28 WHEREAS, the City Council, in adopting the resolution of March 7, 2017
29 authorizing the City Manager to apply for a TPOF Grant for the Project, made it explicitly
30 clear in their deliberations, as affirmed by the Council's enactment of the CIP FY 2017-
31 2018 and FY 2018-2019 appropriations, that local funds would not be used for
32 construction of the Project; and
33
34 WHEREAS, there is no material change in the facts and substance of the City
35 Manager's filed TPOF Grant application on March 9, 2018 and the TPOF Grant
36 application filed for the Atlantic Avenue Reconfiguration previously not supported by the
37 Secretary of Transportation for the Commonwealth of Virginia on May 1, 2017; and
38
39 WHEREAS, there is no reason to expect that the Secretary of Finance, Secretary
40 of Transportation, and Secretary of Commerce or other appointed officers of the
41 Commonwealth would retreat from the Commonwealth's reasoning of refusing to fund a
42 project for which the City Council has decided does not merit construction with local funds;
43 and
44
45 WHEREAS, the March 9, 2018 application documents a lack of acknowledgment
46 by the City staff of the Commonwealth's past decision and thereby creates the potential
47 to undermine the credibility of other City grant applications.
48
49 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
50 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA, THAT:
51
52 1. The City Manager is directed to notify Ms. Misty Upson, Debt& Innovative Finance
53 Analyst, Virginia Department of Transportation that the City of Virginia Beach is
54 withdrawing the TPOF grant application for the Atlantic Avenue Reconfiguration
55 Project filed on March 8, 2018 as the City Council accepts the decision and
56 reasoning of the Secretary of Transportation in his letter of May 1, 2017.
57
58 2. The City Manager is directed not to resubmit any future TPOF grant applications
59 with the Commonwealth of Virginia for the Atlantic Avenue Reconfiguration Project.
60
61 3. The City Manager remains authorized to file for other grants, and the City Council
62 shall be notified of any such filed grants and be provided a copy of said grant
63 applications on the date of transmittal.
64
65 4. This resolution is effective immediately.

8
9 WHEREAS, Cavalier Associates, LLC (the "Developer") is redeveloping the
10 Cavalier Hotel complex (the "Redevelopment") located at the north end of oceanfront
11 resort in the City of Virginia Beach (the "City"). As a part of the Redevelopment, the
12 Developer has requested that the City reconfigure the northern terminus of Atlantic
13 Avenue to a layout as shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto (the "Road Project");
14
15 WHEREAS, the Road Project would cul-de-sac at Atlantic Avenue south of the
16 existing intersection with Pacific Avenue. Through-traffic currently accessing Pacific
17 Avenue from Atlantic Avenue would now do so from 40th Street. This would allow the
18 Developer to construct access to the oceanfront elements of the Redevelopment, which
19 would more efficiently bring traffic into the Redevelopment and reduce stacking and
20 congestion on Atlantic Avenue;
21
22 WHEREAS, the City intends to apply to the Commonwealth for a grant from the
23 Transportation Partnership Opportunity Fund ("TPOF") to fund the Road Project. Such
24 funds are available for transportation projects that support certain economic
25 development projects;
26
27 WHEREAS, a portion of the area of the Road Project is currently owned by the
28 Commonwealth, specifically the Atlantic Avenue right-of-way and remnant pieces from
29 previous realignments of Atlantic Avenue (the "Commonwealth Property"), as shown on
30 Exhibit A, attached hereto. The Commonwealth of Virginia Transportation Board (the
31 "CTB") will not begin the process of transferring title to a locality until that locality
32 formally petitions the CTB pursuant to §33.2-907 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as
33 amended;
34
35 WHEREAS, the remainder of the area of the Road Project is either owned by the
36 City or the Developer. The Developer has agreed to dedicate any necessary property

Subject: Atlantic Avenue Economic Development Partnership and Shared-Mobility
Improvements Project
Dear Ms. Upson:
Attached is the City of Virginia Beach's formal application to the Transportation
Partnership Opportunity Fund(TPOF)grant, for the referenced project. We believe the
project meets all the criteria required of the TPOF grant and respectfully request VDOT's
due consideration to award the City$2,497,000, to fully fund the project.
The "Atlantic Avenue Economic Development Partnership and Shared-Mobility
Improvements" Project is an important project for the City of Virginia Beach as it will
facilitate efficient and safe vehicular and pedestrian circulation into the adjacent proposed
conference center and resort. The proposed conference center and resort will provide the
City the meeting and conference space that is much needed in addition to adding jobs into
our local economy. The proposed roadway project is a critical element to the success of the
conference center and resort.
City Council authorized the submission of this TPOF application, via resolution dated
March 7, 2017. Further, The Atlantic Avenue Project is in our draft FY 2017-2018 Capital
Improvement Program(CIP), scheduled to be approved by City Council on May 9, 2017.
Additionally, the Commonwealth Transportation Board(CTB)recently established the
project as a City of Virginia Beach urban project, at their April 19, 2017 meeting.

Dear Mr. Hansen,
Thank you for your email and accompanying Transportation Partnership Opportunity
Fund(TPOF) grant application for Atlantic Avenue.
Based on previous communications with you and members of City Council, ] directed
VDOT to perform a financial review of the City's transportation projects funded with state urban
formula dollars, The purpose of this review was to determine if there were excess state urban
formula monies that could be used by the City to fund the Atlantic Avenue Project(the Project).
After an extensive review,VDOT determined that$2 million in excess state urban formula funds
was available to the City of Virginia Beach. These state funds are directly under the control of
the Virginia Beach City Council and can be used for any allowable city transportation project.
These funds must be allocated by the City to a transportation project that is fully funded by the
end of the calendar year or the funds will be swept back by the state and converted to its State of
Good Repair Program funds pursuant to Item 436 C 2 of Chapter 780 of the 2016 Acts of
Assembly.
Per the City's request,the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB)approved UPC
110744 for the Atlantic Avenue Reconfiguration at its most recent meeting held on April 19,
2017. The amount of state urban formula funding available for transfer was $2 million. Per the
CTB action, the Atlantic Avenue Project is now an allowable City project for state funding. As
such, 1 have directed VDOT to transfer certain real estate identified as"Commonwealth
Property"to the City of Virginia Beach to facilitate construction of the Project.
Your email informed me that City Council has chosen to use the $2 million in excess
state urban formula funds on another City transportation project. This action indicates that the

Atlantic Avenue Project is not a priority for the City and the City Council does not intend to use
state resources available at its disposal to fund the Project.
As a consequence,please be advised that I will not support the City's application for a
TPOF grant. Should the City Council wish to fund the Project, it now has state urban formula
funds under its control to do so. Alternatively,the City can prepare a Smart Scale application for
the project to be considered in the next funding cycle in 2018.
There are many transportation projects in the Commonwealth that merit construction yet
resources for these projects are not available. I remain concerned by public remarks made by
you and City Council members indicating that the Project does not merit city funds for the road.
The Commonwealth has done more than its part in making state funds available to the City for
the Atlantic Avenue Project.
The repayment of the$20 million NSRR right of way funds by Virginia Beach to the
TPOF fund is in no way linked to this or any other grant application made by the City. I look
forward to continue working with you to improve transportation in Virginia Beach and the
Hampton Roads region.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM f
ITEMS: (1) An Ordinance to Amend ORD #2699B Regarding the Town Center Special
Service District to Add Facilities and Services and to Add a Section to ORD
#2699B for the Limited Delegation of Responsibilities and Use of Special Service
District Levies
(2) A Resolution to Authorize an Agreement between the City and the Central
Business District Association
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background: City Council established the Town Center Special Service District
by ordinance adopted in May 2002, to provide an enhanced level of services at Town
Center. As with other special service districts, the additional services are funded by
additional taxes or levies imposed upon the real property within the district. For Town
Center, the annual levy is 45 cents per $100 of assessed value.
The Town Center Special Service District authorizes the expenditure of moneys for the
operation and maintenance of public parking garages and enhanced services including
maintenance and cleaning of public streets and sidewalks, more frequent garbage
removal and disposal, enhanced lighting, additional beautification and landscaping for
the public places and extra security. At the request of the stakeholders paying the
additional levies, the City Staff is forwarding a request to add "wayfinding and
sponsorship and promotion of recreational and cultural activities" to the facilities and
services provided by the Town Center SSD. Also at the request of the SSD
stakeholders, the City Staff is forwarding a request to delegate certain powers and
responsibilities to a nonprofit corporation as permitted by State law.
• Considerations: There are two actions that are related to the request of the
Town Center stakeholders. First, there is an ordinance that amends the Town Center
SSD Ordinance, ORD #26996, adopted May 14, 2002. That amendment will broaden
the scope of the services to include wayfinding and sponsorship and promotion of
recreational activities.
The second item is a resolution to authorize an agreement between the City and the
Central Business District Association (CBDA). There is a summary of terms attached to
this item and incorporated by reference by the resolution. This agreement would
empower the CBDA to program recreational and cultural events within the Town Center
area, and it would allow the CBDA to make purchases related to holidays and special
occasions. The programming would be subject to the oversight of the City Manager's
Office and the Town Center Advisory Board.
• Alternatives: The City could use Beachevents to program the entertainment for
Town Center, but the Town Center stakeholders initiated their request in response to a
belief that Beachevents was not programming Town Center in a manner that was
consistent with the community expectations. Additionally, the City could issue a request
for proposals for a service provider to do the promotion and/or holiday features
contemplated by the proposed agreement with the CBDA.
• Public Information: Normal agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached modification to the SSD Ordinance and
adopt the resolution authorizing the agreement with the CBDA.

Terms"); Disclosure Form

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing 1) the Acquisition of an Agricultural Land
Preservation Easement from My III Sons, L.L.C. (29.69+/- Acres), 2) the
Issuance by the City of its Contract Obligations in the Maximum Principal
Amount of $540,358, and 3) Transfer of Funds to Purchase U.S. Treasury
STRIPS
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background: In May 1995, the Agricultural Lands Preservation Ordinance (the
"Ordinance") was adopted by the City Council for the purpose of promoting and
encouraging the preservation of farmland in the rural southern portion of the City.
Under the Agricultural Reserve Program established by the Ordinance, the City
purchases the development rights of eligible parcels of land, leaving the fee simple
ownership of the land unchanged. These purchases are embodied by perpetual
agricultural land preservation easements pursuant to which only agricultural uses, as
defined in the Ordinance, are allowed on the land.
The subject property has been appraised by an independent appraiser retained by the
City. The appraiser has determined the fair market value of the property, based upon
nine (9) comparable sales. From the fair market value, the value of the development
rights has been determined by subtracting $1,800 per acre, which has previously been
established as the farm value (i.e., value of the land restricted to agricultural uses) for
land throughout the southern rural area of the City. The resulting amount is the value of
the development rights of the property.
All offers by the City to purchase the development rights of property are expressly made
contingent upon the absence of any title defects or other conditions which, in the
opinion of the City Attorney, may adversely affect the City' s interests, and other
standard contingencies.
• Considerations: The subject property consists of one (1) parcel of land having
approximately 29.69 acres outside of marshland or swampland. It is owned by My III
Sons, L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company. Under current development
regulations, there is a total development potential of two (2) single-family dwelling
building sites, and zero (0) have been reserved for future development. The parcel,
which is shown on the attached Location Map, is located at 1812 Indian River Road
(GPIN: 2413-32-9436) in the District of Princess Anne. The proposed purchase price,
as stated in the ordinance, is $540,358. This price is the equivalent of approximately
$18,200 per acre.
The terms of the proposed acquisition are that the City would pay interest only for a
period of 25 years, with the principal amount being due and payable 25 years from the
date of closing. The interest rate to be paid by the City will be the greater of 2.82% per
annum or the per annum rate which is equal to the yield on U.S. Treasury STRIPS
purchased by the City to fund its principal obligation under the Installment Purchase
Agreement, not to exceed 4.82% without the further approval of the City Council.
The ordinance authorizes the transfer of the amount needed to purchase the U.S.
Treasury STRIPS from the Agriculture Reserve Program Special Revenue Fund to the
General Debt Fund.
The proposed terms and conditions of the purchase of the development rights pursuant
to the Installment Purchase Agreement, including the purchase price and manner of
payment, are fair and reasonable and in furtherance of the purposes of the Ordinance.
• Public Information: Notice of Public Hearing has been advertised by publication
in a newspaper having general circulation in the City once per week for two successive
weeks.
• Alternatives: The City Council may decline to purchase the development rights
to the property.
• Recommendations: Adoption of the ordinance and acquisition of the
development rights, assuming all contingencies are met.

25
26 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
27 VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA:
28
29 1 . The City Council hereby determines and finds that the proposed terms and

33 is hereby authorized to approve, upon or before the execution and delivery of the
34 Installment Purchase Agreement, the rate of interest to accrue on the unpaid principal

37 purchased by the City to fund such unpaid principal balance; provided, however, that such
38 rate of interest shall not exceed 4.82% unless the approval of the City Council by resolution
39 duly adopted is first obtained.

41 2. The City Council hereby further determines that funding is available for the
42 acquisition of the Development Rights pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement on
43 the terms and conditions set forth therein.
44
45 3. The City Council hereby expressly approves the Installment Purchase
46 Agreement and, subject to the determination of the City Attorney that there are no defects
47 in title to the property or other restrictions or encumbrances thereon which may, in the
48 opinion of the City Attorney, adversely affect the City's interests, authorizes the City
49 Manager or his designee to execute and deliver the Installment Purchase Agreement in
50 substantially the same form and substance as approved hereby with such minor
51 modifications, insertions, completions or omissions which do not materially alter the
52 purchase price or manner of payment, as the City Manager or his designee shall approve.
53 The City Council further directs the City Clerk to affix the seal of the City to, and attest
54 same on, the Installment Purchase Agreement. The City Council expressly authorizes the
55 incurrence of the indebtedness represented by the issuance and delivery of the Installment
56 Purchase Agreement.
57
58 4. The City Council hereby elects to issue the indebtedness under the Charter

65 funds not required,within the dollar limits provided by the Annual Appropriation Ordinance,

69 Adoption requires an affirmative vote of a majority of all members of the City
70 Council.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance authorizing the release of certain City-held deed restrictions on the
property located at 296 Kings Grant Road (GPIN 1497-15-6395)
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
■ Background:
In 1975, the City of Virginia Beach (the "City") acquired approximately 34.6 acres
of land near the present intersection of Virginia Beach Boulevard and Kings
Grant Road, including the historic Francis Land House, from the Industrial
Security Company.
In 1979, the City sold a .741-acre (+1-) portion of the property (the "Property") to
Tidewater Automotive Association with several conditions restricting the use of
the Property set forth in the deed (Deed Book 1931, at page 709) (the "1979
Deed"). The deed restrictions require that the Property be used for commercial,
retail and office activities, prevent uses that would interfere with the viewshed
from the Francis Land House and give the City approval rights over any
proposed development.
The Property was transferred in 2010 to TAA Virginia Beach Branch Property
("TAA"), which now plans to sell the Property to Evergreen Virginia, LLC
("Checkered Flag"), the owner of the adjacent site located at 3033 Virginia Beach
Boulevard. Checkered Flag would like to develop the Property to expand its
adjacent automobile sales facility. Checkered Flag has requested that the City
release certain portions of the deed restrictions contained in the 1979 Deed. The
deed restrictions requested to be released are restrictions preventing the
property from being used for automobile repair establishments, automobile sales
and rentals, boat sales and commercial parking lots (the "Dealership
Restrictions"). If the Dealership Restrictions are released, all other deed
restrictions in the 1979 Deed will remain in full force and effect on the Property.
• Considerations:
The Property is developed with an office building, but that building will be
demolished if the City Council grants Checkered Flag's request.
Checkered Flag submitted its plans to the Historic Preservation Board and
advised them of their request to the City to release the Dealership Restrictions.
There were no objections to the release of the Dealership Restrictions, and the
Historical Review Board issued a Certificate of Appropriateness regarding
demolition of the existing office building following the Board's review on January
22, 2018.
An application for a modification of a conditional use permit affecting the Property
is also on the agenda to be heard by Council on the same date as this request.
• Public Information:
Advertisement in The Virginian-Pilot Beacon regarding the disposition of the
Dealership Restrictions. Advertisement of the City Council Agenda.
• Alternatives:
Enforce the Dealership Restrictions.
• Recommendations:
Approval
• Attachments: Ordinance, 1979 Deed, Location Map, Disclosure Statement

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend the FY 2018-19 Operating Budget of the Department of
Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
■ Background: The Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
(DHNP) receives Federal funding for a significant portion of its budget. The actual awards
for the Department's Federal Entitlement Funds were not received until May 2, 2018, and
therefore were not able to be incorporated into its previously submitted budget for FY
2018/19. This ordinance will adjust the appropriations so that they match the actual
awards.
The following chart outlines the changes needed to reflect the actual awards:
FY 2018/19
Programs Appropriated Actual Award Variance
CDBG $ 1,824,317 $ 2,000,832 $ 176,515
HOME $ 788,573 $ 1,122,655 $ 334,082
ESG $ 160,042 $ 164,230 $ 4,188
HOPWA $ 1,345,472 $ 1,524,127 $ 178,655
Total $ 4,118,404 $ 4,811,844 $ 693,440
As such, DHNP is requesting the following adjustments to its FY18-19 Operating Budget:
• Appropriate $176,515 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Funds.
• Appropriate $334,082 in HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Funds.
• Appropriate $4,188 in Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Funds.
• Appropriate $178,655 in Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS
(HOPWA) Funds.
Additionally, on April 6, 2018, DHNP received an award of $39,161 to support five (5)
additional Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers that will provide rental
subsidies to five (5) previously homeless veterans. The department is requesting that
these funds also be appropriated to its FY 2018-19 Operating Budget.
• Considerations: This action updates the DHNP Budget to align with the
proposed federal funding for FY18-19. The increased Veterans Affairs Supportive
Housing vouchers will allow additional assistance to homeless veterans.
• Public Information: Normal agenda process.
• Recommendations: Approval of the attached ordinance

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Authorizing the Execution of a Memorandum of Agreement for the
Contribution of Funds to the Department of the Army for Sandbridge Beach
Nourishment
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
Background: The City has funded, through its Capital Improvement Program, a share
of the costs associated with periodic replenishment of Sandbridge Beach. In 2002, the
City and the Army entered into a 50-year agreement for project coordination to provide
for a split (65% Federal, 35% City) of the costs associated with beach restoration and
maintenance projects at Sandbridge Beach. However, the Sandbridge Beach
agreement was subject to federal appropriations, which were delayed in the past and
are doubtful in the near future. In December 2011, the United States Congress
amended the U. S. Code to allow a political subdivision to contribute all of the funds to
the Army for a project such as the sand replenishment of Sandbridge Beach. Having
the Army as the contract lead is important for purposes of permitting and project
coordination.
Through the Sandbridge Special Service District and Tax Increment Financing District,
the City has programmed funding to pay for the entire cost of this beach nourishment
project. The current estimated cost is $21 ,500,000, and this amount of funding is
available in CIP # 8-010, "Sandbridge Beach Restoration II." If the contribution from the
City exceeds the actual cost of the work contemplated and properly chargeable for this
project, federal law provides that the funds may be returned to the City at the conclusion
of the project.
• Considerations: The attached "Summary of Material Terms" sets forth the key
components of the agreement the City would enter into with the Department of the
Army. This agreement provides that the City will contribute a specified amount of funds
for this project. The agreement also requires that the City hold the Army harmless from
all damages arising out of the project except for damages that are the fault of the Army
or the Army's contractors.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Approval of the attached ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Ordinance Authorizing and Directing the City Manager to Execute a Deed of
Release and Exchange Pertaining to an Agricultural Lands Preservation
Easement Located on Lands of Kellye Suzanne Vaughan, Rebekah V. and
James T. Albert, and Mark E. Vaughan
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background: On August 28, 2002, Edward L. Vaughan ("Vaughan"), the owner
of two parcels of land located on Vaughan Road (the "Property"), placed both parcels in
the City's Agricultural Reserve Program ("ARP"). The ARP encumbers property with an
easement restricting development of property (the "Preservation Easement"). As part of
the transaction, Vaughan reserved two 3-acre building sites for future development
(each an "Easement Exception Site").
Vaughan died on November 7, 2009 and devised the Property to his heirs, including
Kellye V. Gentry, now known as Kellye Suzanne Vaughan ("Kellye Vaughan"). In 2012,
the Property was subdivided into Lots A, B, and C. Lots A and B are the Easement
Exception Sites, and Lot C is subject to the Preservation Easement. Lot A is currently
owned by Rebekah V. Albert and James T. Albert (collectively, "Albert").
In 2013, Lot C was further subdivided into Lots C-1, C-2, C-3, and C-4, with the owner
of each lot being noted on the plat in accordance with the terms of Vaughan's will. Lots
C-1, C-2, C-3, and C-4 are all subject to the Preservation Easement. This item was
requested by the property owners to relocate one of the building sites within the
Preservation Easement.
Kellye Vaughan, the owner of Lot C-2, now desires that the City release a portion of Lot
C-2 from the Preservation Easement, which is shown on Exhibit A attached to the
Ordinance as "Proposed Relocated Easement Exception Site C-2-A1 Easement Area =
105,330 Sq. Ft. 2.418 Ac." (hereafter, "New Development Site").
In addition, Mark E. Vaughan, the owner of Lot C-1, and Kellye Vaughan desire that the
City release a portion of Lot C-1 and a portion of Lot C-2 from the Preservation
Easement, shown on Exhibit A as "20' Private Ingress/Egress Easement 10,262 Sq. Ft.
0.235 Ac." and "20' Private Ingress/Egress Easement 15,101 Sq. Ft. 0.347 Ac.", to be
used for ingress and egress to and from the New Development Site.
In exchange for releasing portions of Lot C-1 and Lot C-2 from the Preservation
Easement, Albert desires to encumber Lot A with the Preservation Easement, which is
shown on Exhibit B attached to the Ordinance as "Easement Exception Area 'Lot A'
Hereby Vacated" (hereafter "Existing Development Site").
• Considerations: The appraiser who appraised the property for the original ARP
purchase has stated by letter dated January 12, 2018 that there is no difference in the
market value of the building sites proposed to be exchanged. Kellye Vaughan has been
advised that she will need to comply with all requirements of the City's zoning and
subdivision ordinances prior to beginning construction on the relocated easement
exception site.
Section 11 of the Agricultural Lands Preservation Ordinance (ORD-95-2319) expressly
allows exchanges of the type sought by Kellye Vaughan, Albert and Mark E. Vaughan,
and states that the City Council shall allow such exchanges under certain conditions.
Those conditions are as follows:
(1) the acquisition of the proposed Preservation Easement in lieu of the
existing Preservation Easement does not adversely affect the City's
interests in accomplishing the purposes of the Ordinance;
(2) the proposed Preservation Easement area meets all of the eligibility
requirements set forth in Section 7 of the Ordinance;
(3) the land to be encumbered by the proposed Preservation
Easement is of at least equal fair market value, is of greater value as
permanent open space, and of as nearly as feasible equivalent usefulness
and location for use as permanent open-space land as the property on
which the existing Preservation Easement is located; and
(4) the consideration for the acquisition of the new Preservation
Easement consists solely of the extinguishment of the existing
Preservation Easement.
The proposed ordinance authorizes and directs the City Manager to execute a Deed of
Release and Exchange pursuant to which the Existing Development Site is exchanged
for the New Development Site. Such direction is subject to the City Attorney's
determination that there are no defects in title to the property to be restricted by the
ARP easement or other restrictions or encumbrances thereon which may, in the opinion
of the City Attorney, adversely affect the City's interests.
• Public Information: No advertising is required.
• Alternatives: The City Council may deny the proposed exchange if it finds that
the requirements specified above have not been met.
• Recommendations: Adoption of the ordinance allowing the exchange of
reserved site.
• Attachments: Ordinance, Exhibits, Location Map, Disclosure Statement Forms

34 Easement Exception Site");
35
36 WHEREAS, in exchange for releasing the Relocated Easement Exception Site from
37 the Preservation Easement, Rebekah V.Albert and James T.Albert, the current owners of

40 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 11 of the Agricultural Lands Preservation

44 conditions set forth in the Ordinance;
45
46 WHEREAS, the Ordinance provides that the City Council shall approve such an
47 exchange if it makes certain findings enumerated in the Ordinance; and
48 WHEREAS, the City Council does hereby make such findings, to-wit:

Operating Budget of the Department of Finance for the Stop Program
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background: The City participates in the State's Vehicle Registration
Withholding Program, whereby the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) assists the
City in collecting delinquent personal property taxes by withholding renewal of the
annual State and City vehicle registration of any applicant who is delinquent in paying
local personal property taxes. This program is referred to as the "Stop Program," and it
has proven to be a powerful tax collection tool for the City. DMV imposes an
administrative fee to administer this program, which was increased from $20 to $25.
The City Treasurer's Office collects the fee from the delinquent taxpayer upon payment
of the delinquent taxes, and then remits the fees to the State. This agreement with the
State is anticipated to be budget neutral from the City's perspective, since the actual
revenues collected by the City should be equal to the City's expenditures/remittances to
the State.
• Considerations: For FY 2017-18, $50,000 was appropriated for the Stop
Program based on usage in prior years, with costs offset by a corresponding revenue
from DMV Reimbursement. However, during FY 2017-18 the City Treasurer has
increased its usage of the Stop Program. Based on this increased usage, the
Department of Finance anticipates a net of 13,399 taxpayers to be charged the Stop
program fee totaling $329,000. As a result of this increase, it is projected that additional
funds totaling $279,000 need to be appropriated, with estimated revenue from DMV
Reimbursement increased accordingly for this program. Although the City Treasurer's
Office administers the contract and is responsible for delinquent collections, the
expenditures, in the form of remittance of fees collected, are reflected within the
Finance Department's operating budget, which does not have sufficient funds to absorb
this unplanned increase. Over the last year, the Stop Program has resulted in the
collection of $4.5 million in delinquent personal property taxes and penalties.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate a Grant from Keep America Beautiful for
a Cigarette Litter Prevention Program at Little Island Park
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background: In a collaborative effort, staff from the Departments of Public Works
and Parks and Recreation applied for a grant from Keep America Beautiful for a cigarette
litter prevention program under the organization's local affiliate, Keep Virginia Beach
Beautiful (KVBB). This effort was rewarded when the City was notified that it was one of
42 Keep America Beautiful affiliates that will receive grant funding. A $2,500 grant was
awarded to KVBB. KVBB is supported by the City's Waste Management Division of Public
Works. The KVBB mission is to improve the quality of life in our community through litter
prevention, recycling, and beautification. KVBB implements programs for improvement
and works to encourage behavioral changes that result in a cleaner, greener Virginia
Beach.
• Considerations: This grant does not require a City match. These funds will be
used to purchase cigarette receptacles and marketing materials to help educate
beachgoers at Little Island Park about the environmental impact of cigarette litter. In
addition portable ashtrays will be purchased for distribution. City workers will perform litter
scans and education. Volunteers will also be used. This program will be implemented
through the Waste Management Division of Public Works and the Little Island Park unit
of Parks and Recreation.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funds to Support Rescue Squad
Operations and Training
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
■ Background: The Virginia Beach Department of Emergency Medical Services
(VBEMS) receives miscellaneous revenue throughout the year from training services
and special event standby services. These sources include the Virginia Department of
Health, Office of Emergency Medical Services under the Virginia Four-for-Life Training
Program and monies generated at the departmental level. State revenues are remitted
to local agencies for offering specific advanced life support classes. Departmental
training services revenues include, but are not limited to, registration fees and text book
purchases. Special event funds are payments made by event organizers to offset the
costs of volunteer rescue squad standby services.
Estimated revenues are projected in the VBEMS Operating Budget; however surplus
revenues have been collected. City Council action is required to accept and appropriate
the revenues exceeding budgeted amounts.
• For FY 2017-18, VBEMS has received $19,418 in surplus revenue for
departmental training fees as well as EMT class reimbursement fees.
• During an audit of legacy Four-for-Life grants dating back to FY2013-14, it was
discovered that a surplus amount of $484 was collected and heretofore
unappropriated. These grants are required to be closed out by the State Office of
EMS and the City.
• VBEMS received $46,403 from special event organizers for rescue squad
standby services. Of the total payments received from special event organizers,
$30,000 was originally budgeted in the FY 2017-18 Operating Budget, and has
already been disbursed to the rescue squads. The surplus of $16,403 will be
distributed directly to the squads from this appropriation process that directly
reimburses them for services rendered.
■ Considerations: This action is necessary to align appropriations with the fiscal
year. The Four-for-Life Training grant funds program guidelines require the monies be
accepted, appropriated, and expended in a timely manner. VBEMS recommends using
the additional combined training reimbursements and grant revenues, totaling roughly
$19,902 to resupply the training equipment for future classes. Examples of items to be
purchased include instructional materials, training equipment, and disposable medical
training supplies. The additional $11,655 special event funds will be immediately
disbursed to the appropriate rescue squads in recognition of services previously
rendered. Failure to appropriate these monies would result in a loss of operating income
for those squads.
• Public Information: Normal Council Agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate a Community Impact Grant for
Residential Design Professional Services from the Virginia Housing Development
Authority
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background: In 2016, the Virginia Beach housing market study was completed.
The study identified several housing-related challenges and vulnerabilities. One
challenge that the study identified is the need for Virginia Beach to ensure that its current
and future housing stock is attractive to and affordable for new generations of buyers.
One way to achieve this is to create and make available new designs that can be used
by owners, builders and developers.
The City also created the Strategic Goal Team for Revitalizing Neighborhoods (SGT4) in
2017. The team is part of the overall revitalization pilot project that is currently being
planned and implemented in Princess Anne Plaza, the Lakes and Windsor Woods, in
close coordination with the planned storm water investments.
In March of 2018, the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation (DHNP)
submitted an application for a Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA)
Community Impact Grant for Residential Design Professional Services and was awarded
$50,000. The grant will be used for the following purposes, with a focus on the pilot
project area, but with applicability City-wide:
• Develop and make available residential design options that can be used by
homeowners, builders and developers for remodeling and new
construction. These options should incorporate modern design elements,
walkability, accessibility, multi-generational attractiveness and a range of
affordability. This should include new site design options.
• Design options should address flood protection and mitigation options for
both the building and the site.
• Create neighborhood plan development, and mixed use development and
designs.
Design options should be incentivized through zoning, development and related City
policies and plans.
The department plans to convene a design advisory committee consisting of
representation from the Planning Commission, the Housing Advisory Board, the Planning
and Public Works departments, and area residents to guide the work performed under
the grant.
• Considerations: Without the appropriation of these funds, the funds cannot be
used for the intended purposes.
• Public Information: Normal agenda process.
• Recommendations: Approval of the attached ordinance

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Transfer Funds within the FY 2017-18 Operating Budget of the
Convention and Visitors Bureau to Purchase Shuttles for the Sports Center
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background: The concept of shuttling Virginia Beach Convention Center
(VBCC) event attendees came about with the arena project. Since the arena would
have been sited on VBCC parking lots and additional parking was to be constructed
west of the arena, the half mile distance was determined to not be realistic for patrons.
VBCC staff would shuttle guests to its front doors from remote lots.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau has funding to purchase shuttles (and associated
operating expenses) for the arena in the current FY 2017-18 Operating Budget. With the
termination of the arena contract, these funds are available to be redirected for the
purchase of shuttles for the new Sports Center. The Sports Center Capital project is
currently in the design phase and funding for Sports Center shuttles is not included in
the FY 2018-19 Operating Budget of the Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Like the arena, the new Sports Center will remove nearly 40% of VBCC's current
parking, but it will all be replaced with new parking between the Sports Center and
Birdneck Road. Shuttles are needed to transport event attendees during construction
and after the Sports Center opens.
The cost of one vehicle is $76,336. This request is to transfer $152,672 within the
Convention and Visitors Bureau's Operating Budget for the purchase of two shuttles.
• Considerations: Funding is appropriated in the department's budget but needs
to be transferred to a capital account for procurement.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Approve the attached Ordinance

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM f
ITEM: WILLIS FAMILY PARTNERSHIP [Applicant & Property Owner] Change in
Nonconformity for the property located at 318 & 320 34th Street (GPINs
2418926937, 2418925993), COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH.
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background:
The site consists of two A-24 Apartment District zoned lots, with 10 legally
nonconforming units. The applicant proposed to combine these parcels and create
one 100-foot wide by 140-foot deep corner lot that fronts both 34th Street and Arctic
Avenue. Based on the existing A-24 zoning, as a matter of right, the applicant
could redevelop the property with up to seven units. As the request remains above
what can be constructed as a matter of right, a Change in Nonconformity is
required.
The submitted concept plan depicts the redevelopment of the site with two, three-
story buildings that will be connected by an open-air stairwell. A total of nine
dwelling units are proposed within these two buildings, with a mix of one and two-
bedroom apartment units. Also proposed is a one-story storage/carport structure
for up to four automobiles.
The buildings proposed along 34th Street will encroach into the 30-foot front yard
setback with the porches/balconies of the corner building projecting even closer to
the road. One of the existing structures on the site is located as close as 11 feet
from the 34th Street right-of-way.
Proposed streetscape improvements consist of a widening of the pavement, the
installation of curb and gutter and new sidewalks within 34th Street and Arctic
Avenue. A total of 17 parking spaces are proposed, all of which will be accessed
off of the alley. A parking lot with nine spaces is depicted on the concept plan
along with an area with eight stacked spaces. Based on the standards set forth in
the Zoning Ordinance, a minimum of 18 on-site parking spaces are required. As a
result of this project, five on-street parking spaces will be created along Arctic
Avenue.
The submitted architectural elevations depict a red brick skirt, upgraded vinyl
horizontal siding, upgraded vinyl board and batten, cementitious smooth paneling
and trim, vinyl windows, Bahama shutters on the 3rd level and architectural asphalt
shingles.
Willis Family Partnership
Page 2 of 3
• Considerations:
There are 10 legally nonconforming units on the site, and the applicant's request
is to decrease the number of dwelling units to nine. The proposed redevelopment
is in alignment with the Seapines Station Voluntary Design Guidelines. The
Guidelines, which are adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan's Reference
Handbook, include design recommendations for setbacks, massing, materials,
parking, and landscaping.
The property owners of the three-unit condominium to the east spoke in opposition
to the request at the Planning Commission's public hearing. Concerns were noted
related to the lack of parking in the vicinity, and the potential for increased light
pollution and stormwater runoff onto their property.
Following the Planning Commission's discussion of the application, the motion to
approve included an additional condition, underlined below, to require the use of a
cement fiberboard siding, rather than the vinyl siding proposed (Condition 2). Since
the hearing, a slightly revised plan has been submitted to Staff that depicts the
building a bit closer to the streets to meet the recommendations of the Seapines
Station Design Guidelines, and also removes a wrap-around porch on the east
side of the eastern building to provide more privacy for the existing adjacent
residents. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staffs evaluation,
are provided in the attached Staff report.
• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission passed
a motion to recommend approval of this request by a vote of 8-0, with 1 abstention.
1. When the site is developed, it shall be in substantial conformance with the
submitted site layout exhibit entitled, "34th STREET AND ARCTIC AVE
APARTMENTS, CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT," dated April 3, 2018, revised
5/10/18, and prepared by Timmons Group, which has been exhibited to the
Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Department of Planning and

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The site consists of two lots that will be combined to create a 100-foot wide by 140-foot deep corner lot that
fronts both 34th Street and Arctic Avenue. Both existing lots are zoned A-24 Apartment District. According to
the applicant, 10 dwellings currently exist in four buildings that were all constructed in the 1930s through the
1940s.
• There are 10 legally, nonconforming units on the properties, and the applicant's request is to decrease the
number of dwelling units to nine. Based on the existing A-24 zoning, as a matter of right, the applicant could
redevelop the property with up to seven units. As the request remains above what can be constructed as a
matter of right, a Change in Nonconformity is required.
• The applicant proposes to redevelop the site with two, three-story buildings that will be connected by an open-
air stairwell. A total of nine dwelling units are proposed within these two building, with a mix of one and two-
bedroom apartment units. Also proposed is a one-story storage/carport structure for up to four automobiles.
• The proposed concept plan depicts the buildings proposed along 34th Street setback 12 feet from the property
line, with the porch/balconies of the corner building projecting even closer to the road, thereby encroaching
into the 30-foot front yard setback for A-24 Apartment Districts. An existing structure on the site is located 11
feet from the 34th Street right-of-way.
• A total of 17 parking spaces are proposed, all of which will be accessed off of the alley. A parking lot with nine
spaces is depicted on the concept plan along with up to eight stacked spaces, including four spaces within the
carport. Based on the standards set forth in the Zoning Ordinance, a minimum of 18 on-site parking spaces are
required. However, as a result of this project, five on-street parking spaces will be created along Arctic Avenue.
• Proposed streetscape improvements consist of a widening of the pavement within 34th Street and Arctic
Avenue; and the installation of curb and gutter and new sidewalks.
• The submitted architectural elevations depict a red brick skirt, upgraded vinyl horizontal siding, upgraded vinyl
board and batten, cementitious smooth paneling and trim,vinyl windows, Bahama shutters on the 3rd level and
architectural asphalt shingles.
• The conceptual planting plan depicts foundation landscaping at the base of the buildings and along the covered
parking area; flowering small trees and large canopy trees; evergreen shrubs to provide screening along the
eastern boundary line; and accent grasses and evergreen groundcover.
• Stormwater management will be addressed in more detail during final site plan review.

Evaluation and Recommendation
The proposed redevelopment to construct two buildings containing nine multi-family dwellings on the site is, in Staff's
view, compatible with the land use policies for the Suburban Area as the proposed configuration of the site,
architectural massing and materials, parking, landscaping and streetscape improvements are in alignment with the
Seapines Station Voluntary Design Guidelines. The Guidelines, which are adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan's
Reference Handbook, include design recommendations for this area and address setbacks, massing, materials, parking,
and landscaping. Below is a brief evaluation of the applicable Guidelines.
Setbacks and Massing
The Guidelines recommend that large-scale structures be "broken up" into separate buildings, and that roof lines and
heights be varied in order to reduce the mass of a structure. The Guidelines state that the front setback of the buildings
should be 10 feet, the side yard setback should be eight feet and porches should be five feet. The facades of the
proposed buildings are designed with projections, such as porches and balconies, which provides visual relief and will aid
with reducing the overall scale of the building. The proposed setbacks of 12 feet for the front yard and 10 and 15 feet
for the side yards exceed the setbacks recommended by the Guidelines, which is 10 feet for the front and eight feet for
side yards.
Materials
The Guidelines state that siding should include high quality materials that stand up over time to the effects of salt spray
and wind. Use of masonry and cement fiberboard is encouraged. The applicant is proposing a masonry skirt, upgraded
vinyl siding on the facade and cement fiberboard for trim details. The articulation of exterior materials is balanced and
meets the intent of the Guidelines.
Parking
The Guidelines recommend for corner lots that parking areas for multi-family dwellings be on the interior of the lot and
accessed via an alley. The use of pervious materials for on-site parking, driveways and walkways is encouraged. Due to
the proposed widening and streetscape improvements, more space will be available to comfortably park on the street,
which will offset the lack of one parking space on-site. As previously noted, on-site parking will be accessed from the
alley and will be screened from the rights-of-way by the buildings and the proposed plantings.
Willis Family Partnership
Agenda Item 5
Page 3
Landscaping
The Guidelines state that landscaping along street fronts should frame, soften and embellish the quality of the
residential environment. Planted areas should be designed to aid in stormwater management,where possible.The
Guidelines recommend that a minimum five-foot wide evergreen hedge be installed along the length of any driveway
that abuts a north/south property line, and that street trees be planted along rights-of-way on infill lots and for
redevelopment sites. As mentioned above,the conceptual planting plan depicts foundation plants at the base of the
buildings and covered parking area;flowering small and large canopy trees; evergreen screening along the eastern
boundary line; and accent grasses, perennial color and evergreen groundcover.
As the property is located within the 70-75 noise zone, a reduction in the number of units from 10 to nine meets the
goals of Article 18 of the Zoning Ordinance of minimizing residential units within the higher noise zones.
Staff views this request as an enhancement and upgrade to the area. Also, it is Staff's opinion that the project addresses
many of the Seapines Station Design Guidelines with regard to providing a quality streetscape and built environment
that reduces emphasis on parking areas, providing appropriate massing and treatment of buildings, and increasing plant
material along street frontages. Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this Change in
Nonconformity request subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. When the site is developed, it shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted site layout exhibit entitled,

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within the Suburban Area.The general planning principles
for the Suburban Area focus on creating and maintaining great neighborhoods through stability and sustainability;
protecting and enhancing open spaces and places of cultural and historical significance; and creating and maintaining a
Willis Family Partnership
Agenda Item 5
Page 4
transportation system that provides connectivity and mobility. Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities
either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability, and effective buffering
with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to the surrounding uses.
This site is within the area associated with the Seapines Station Voluntary Design Guidelines, adopted by City Council in
2017. The Guidelines provide recommendations to encourage a quality streetscape and built environment that reduces
emphasis on parking areas, provides appropriate massing and treatment of buildings, accommodates large porches, and
increases plant material along street frontages.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Atlantic Ocean watershed. There do not appear to be any significant natural or cultural
features associated with the site.

The south side of 34th Street is fully improved with pavement widening, curb and gutter, and sidewalk from Pacific
Avenue to the eastern property line of this proposed development. This improvement allows for pedestrian mobility as
well as on-street parking. As a result, Traffic Engineering is requiring the extension of these improvements along the
entire 34th Street frontage, which the submitted Conceptual Layout does reflect.
Arctic Avenue south of 33rd 1/2 Street is fully improved with pavement widening, curb &gutter, and sidewalk. As with 34th
Street, this improvement allows for pedestrian mobility as well as on-street parking. As a result,Traffic Engineering is
requiring the extension of these improvements along the entire Arctic Avenue frontage, which the submitted
Conceptual Layout does reflect.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
The site must connect to City water. There is an existing six-inch City water main on 34th Street. There is an existing 16-
inch City water main on Arctic Avenue.
Sewer
The site must connect to City sanitary sewer. There is an existing eight-inch City gravity sanitary sewer main on 33rd 1/2
Street.
Water and sanitary sewer service must be verified and improved if necessary so that the proposed development will
have adequate water pressure, fire protection and sanitary sewer service.

Change in Nonconformity
318 and 320 34th Street
District—Beach
April 11, 2018
APPROVED
Eddie Bourdon: Good afternoon Ms. Oliver, members of the commission, Eddie Bourdon,
Virginia Beach attorney represent the applicant. Firstly I want to do is I want to thank Jonathan
and Carolyn Smith and director Frankenfield for their work with us on this redevelopment
proposal. You all familiar with the Seapines area,which was left out of the Form-Based Code due
to concerns from the Navy, so we cannot rezone a number of these properties that have
nonconforming uses that have been there for decades and decades and that's the case here with 10
units in four structures on the property that is legally nonconforming since an application to modify
that nonconforming use. The staff has done a wonderful job with the write up and you all reviewed
that this morning. I want to hit on some points I think that weren't hit on, that I think are very
important. This redevelopment, this property has 340 linear feet of street frontage on 34th Street,
Arctic Avenue and the alley 33rd Half Street. Today, because of the street narrowness and not
being completely developed to today's standards there is room to park, one possibly two cars,
everything else is no parking. Today, these 10 units have 12 parking spaces, 8 of which are legally
on-site and 4 of which are not. So with the 340 linear feet of road frontage and 10 units, you have
a total of 12 semi on-site parking spaces and one to two legal off-site and I would say really it's
one. With this redevelopment, the owner of the property will be spending well over a 100,000
dollars, really 100 and quarter, to widen the street, putting curb and gutter on all three streets.
There will be a total of at least 7 on-street parking spaces when we are done and there will be on-
site 17 spaces instead of 12. That represents an increase of 12 spaces, one shy of doubling the
number of spaces that exist today and at the same time, we are reducing the number of units from
10 to 9 and we are not increasing one iota, the number of bedrooms, so we are not increasing
density at all. So you got a huge benefit from a parking standpoint for what's there now and the
redevelopment the rights-of-way being done totally with the applicant's money, not with any
taxpayer dollars. It's organic redevelopment, the property when we are done, will be worth
probably three or more than three times what is worth today and the tenants will be much better
because the rents will be probably commenced with that increase in value. Today, the property is
almost entirely impervious surface with this redevelopment will be reducing the amount of
impervious surface,even by adding the parking,we are still reducing the impervious surface. What
is there now was developed before we had a stormwater management ordinance and there is no
storm or treatment taking place and we will be treating the stormwater in accordance with today's
requirements. The gentlemen who were here, I apologize I thought that my representative talked
to everybody but apparently that wasn't the case, but I have spoken to the gentlemen that are here
and they will be presenting. They had sent a letter, which I wanted to address which I have taken
time before this started to address some of the questions or concerns they had. The trash will be,
1
it's not a public pickup, because it's an apartment, the trash containers will be shared and it will
be private pickup, but they will be in the storage building. They are not exterior, not going to be
stored exterior, they will be rolled out onto the alley when they are picked up, but it won't be the
same time that their trash is picked up on the alley. They had concerns also about lighting and we
are not going to be putting any high lights or anything like that out there in the parking lot. It will
be as minimal as we could make it.We are not going to be adding to any light pollution whatsoever.
I think I have addressed the earlier concerns which were parking and stormwater runoff which we
cannot, we are not going to runoff under their property. Now the other thing,the parking lot,there
is a, you cannot see it up here,but actually I apologize, I have got larger landscape plans that I was
going to handout but neglected to do so, but the parking lot is, there we go, it's a curbed parking
lot and there is 7.5 feet between the curb and the property line. There will be lot of evergreen
shrubs and some large canopy trees that will be planted with that and so the concerns of cars
backing out and hitting the fence is not, they have to jump the curb and go through the landscaping
to hit the fence, which was one of the other concerns that was expressed by the folks to the east.
The parking spaces on this side, there is no parking along here, so that's that. Now these are
stacked spaces. They will be rented as a part of the units, there are 6 two-bedroom units and 3 1-
bedroom units. Those who need two parking spaces, they will be reserved for that particular unit.
There will be coordination in people, you know, backing out and leaving won't be just random
parking on the stacked spaces. Those were some of the questions that they had put in the letter
which I have addressed previously. I will be happy to answer any questions, I think it's a fantastic,
organic redevelopment and no taxpayer money whatsoever,taxpayers will start making money the
day it's completed from what they are making today.
Ms. Oliver: Any questions for Mr. Bourdon?
Ms. Oliver: I have a one, so we talked about the material,the exterior material and upgrading it
since we have those guidelines in that area, for hardie plank.
Mr. Bourdon: And I did speak with my client based on the concern you raised this morning, and
we will agree. In fact he thinks it's a better idea because of the proximity to the Ocean that it would
be a cement fiberboard where it's currently described is being some vinyl, it will be cement
fiberboard.
Ms. Oliver: Perfect, thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you.
Mr. Fisher: We do also have one speaker in opposition for a group for a 34 Street condo
associates with Mr. Ervin B. Oliver, Junior, come to the podium please. Could you please state
your name for the record as well?
Mr. Oliver: I am Ervin "Buddy" B. Oliver, Junior, and I think I am in relation with Dee. I
believe I am speaking for our condo association, so I think I get 10 minutes in this regard as I think
I was told that. I live at 316 34th Street unit A. My neighbors are here. James Westcott, he lives at
unit B, and Bill Kausch, lives at unit C. We are townhouse style condominiums. Our property
runs from 34th back to 33' Half Street. We have been there for three years. Our property is the
whole east side of the development our property adjoins. The houses that are there now were
originally single-family houses that were changed into rentals through the years but have the
appearance of single-family houses. So now we will have two institutional looking buildings, so
2
you can see that's quite a change, which of course would concern us. You know, how are these
going to look? How they are going to be built, the traffic, so we have concerns. We, by the way,
were listed in the Seapines Station design guidelines. The photo of our building was listed as a
good example of what the planning commission wanted in the Seapines area. When we purchased
our homes, it was under the impression that the adjoining property would eventually be like kind
rather than institutional type apartment buildings,though we would rather prefer a similar or single
family type homes. We welcome redevelopment that includes new sidewalks that go all the way
down and curb and gutter that goes all the way down. Obviously we are concerned about
institutional types of buildings, particularly since we are being told that on the other side of our
street that whole side maybe sold and there is a possibility a four-story building is allowed on that
side. There could be another huge institutional type building that maybe would be allowed to have
fewer parking spaces. So again the concern with more cars on our street. If you are familiar with
34th Street, it does not have metered parking except just a few at Pacific. Most of the streets do
not have meters and there is no decal required. So those spaces are at premium particularly in the
warm months. Many folks that work in the hotels along there, tourists going to the beach all
looking for parking on 34th and overflow onto Arctic. So premium parking is very much at a
premium. We are told that the project will have a reduction from 10 to 9 apartments and they will
have 17 parking spaces as compared to the required 18, two per unit. We're told eight spaces are
stacked. My experience has been that folks don't like to put the car behind the others. It's very
inconvenient and particularly if they are having to pay wouldn't that be an incentive just to try to
find a parking spot around the unit. Why if it's 7, if 7 is the number that they have the right to do
which would be 14 parking spaces, why not go with the 7 and have 14 non-stacked onsite parking
spots rather than saying, well you know those extra spaces can be around, but those are at a
premium. They will have a hard time finding those spaces,particularly if they leave to go to work.
People swarm right into the spaces and they will have a hard time at all hours, not just during the
normal working hours. Trash receptacles, and by the way we were not approached before this by
anyone and until Mr. Bourdon approached us before the meeting, so he has answered some of
these. We are glad to hear of that. We have all kinds of vision of how the trash was going to be
handled, so that's nice to know that they will be under that auto port kind of thing. We have real
concerns on how that stormwater is going to be handled on 33rd Half Street on the back. We're
already having trouble with water puddling at the end of our garage. When there is a storm, it
backs up there and so if that's not handled just right, we could have really many more issues with
water, with stormwater runoff. I think he addressed the light pollution issue that I had and the
letter as well concern about the bright lights, you know, the institutional building right next door.
As far as the fence behind the unit, that's right there at that fence that I had visions of cars backing
up, outdoor and cramp spaces out there, hitting the accelerator and the brake and going right into
my fence. But I am told it's going to be with curbing, and I hope that's the case, and not just the
low evergreens but higher arbor vitae types of things. That may help with the sound of slamming
doors and that type of thing and block that from being hit, the fence from being hit. The final
issue, and I didn't have this on the letter, those porches decks right there and in an earlier elevation
they were on the right of that first building. They were moved to the left. If the setback is going to
be as short as it is, I thought for apartments it was supposed to be 30 feet and I understand this is
like 10 or 12 but that will be, that is right next, I can reach out and almost be able to reach out and
touch them. People like to party on their decks and my bedroom is right there and so we have
concerns. Why couldn't that be relocated back to the right of that first building as they had in one
of the earlier elevations?That a particular concern to us. These are our full-time homes, this is my
3
retirement home, a good bit of my net worth is involved in the price of that home. So it's very
important to us. We are here. I don't understand a lot about nonconformity and all that kind of
thing, but I do note that this is very important to all three of us. I am not here with legal
representation, but it is very important to us that you will look out for our interest as well as the
developer's interest. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you Buddy.
Mr. Bourdon: I will be brief. The issue, first of all, I had the privilege of representing Erik Homes
when they redevelop the property, that these gentleman owned through the same process but they
obviously didn't have 10 nonconforming legally nonconforming uses and not all of the structures
were built as a single family either. But that's really in the weeds and doesn't really make any
difference because they are all legally nonconforming. I will point out however that with regard
to the last item which was not in the Mr. Oliver's letter, these little balcony areas, first of all they
are not large at all, secondly they are not actually in front because the guidelines. Where we want
to build in this area, which when Erik Zimmerman redevelop the property that they have the three
condos on these guidelines didn't exist at that point in time, the building that Mr. Oliver like as the
Western unit owner own is actually setback further. This deck will be, and again it is not large at
all, it's really to provide a view of the down the street to the ocean. It will not be around his
windows because it's actually in front. Their property setback is 5 feet from the property line, we
are 10 feet back from the property line and that's where the balconies required to be as well 10
feet back, so it's double the setback that they have from their property and it's out actually in front
of where their building was built because it was built before the guidelines came to exist. I would
also point out across the street which I know nothing about in terms of number of units that are
there, there is A-24 and A-36 zoning. Again their property zoned A-12 and that's what it has been.
I mean none of the zoning here can change other than by downzoning through the process. All of
the items that were listed in the letter that was provided which I received I think we more than
adequately addressed. We have also agreed to meet with these three gentleman and have further
discussions.The stormwater situation you all well know we cannot put any water on their property.
I'm daggone sure there is water going in their property from this property today and has been for
decades because there is no stormwater treatment is taking place, so we will improve that situation
without any shadow. I will be happy to answer any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Any questions for Mr. Bourdon? No, okay thank you. Alright, so we will close the
hearing now and open it up for discussion. I do know that when they start to grade this piece of
property with the spotlight on stormwater now the way it is, it will probably improve where it is
pooling in the back. It's probably due to the effect that this property doesn't have that addressed
on it and with it on the height as they grade it out and stuff it probably will improve with that water
running away from your property more so than the way it is now,but Jeff?
Mr. Hodgson: I am sitting here and I was trying to listen to the opposition and I appreciated you
coming down and I think it is a very good job of laying out your concerns, so I was taking notes
and I was trying to determine what reason would I have to not want to see this go through. I was
struggling, I mean, I think you know you got street improvement which is going to be nice. You
are going to have increased on-street parking. I think you have a good point about people not liking
stacked cars so even if those four cars decided not to stack and parked on street, I think it's still an
issue with about 2 or 3 more spaces on the street than you have currently. You are getting a
reduction in the density of the property. I am pretty confident that this will increase all property
4
values in proximity of this site. A reduction in the impervious surface of the property. The
improvement in building materials that the applicant is agreed to. I am trying to find a negative.
and you know your last concern about the balcony being on your side of the property, I was trying
to think could that be an issue but I think Mr. Bourdon laid out that they are actually in front more
towards the street than the adjoining property?I don't take your word that they are party balconies.
They are just a small little balcony with maybe a chair to it so that you can sit down and have a
coffee and maybe look down the street, hopefully see the ocean if there is an ocean view from
there, I am not sure. I am really struggling for negative on this and I cannot find one. So I believe
I am going to support this application as it stands.
Ms. Oliver: I think it's a nice improvement and I agreed with Buddy that change is always
difficult, nobody likes it by any means. I think I am not sure about the balconies, I don't know we
always had one when we never used one other than to check the weather and the winter that's on
a north east corner so nobody is going to be out there, that's for sure. And I am with Jeff on the
parking, it's just sort of unfortunately the nature of the beast down there and hopefully they will
learn real quick,just because they cannot find a spot on the street when it gets to the July that they
will stack those cars real fast. It is nice to know that there is more additional on-street parking and
there will be a sidewalk and things like that. So, it will be nice to have but I have to support it, yes
commissioner Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:I move approval of the application.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, right, thank you.
Ms. Wilson: Mr. Redmond would you like to add a condition in regard to the cement?
Mr. Redmond:Thank you for the reminder. I would like to move approval of the application;
however, I would like to, do I need to add a condition or replace cement fiber board for the siding
in the application, whichever you say. You are the boss.
Mr. Hodgson: I still second.
Mr. Fisher: By vote of 9-0, item number 5, Willis Family Partnership has been approved with
the added condition.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: EVERGREEN VIRGINIA, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Modification of
Conditions (Motor Vehicle Sales, Rentals, Repair; Car Wash Facility) for the
property located at 296 Kings Grant Road; 2981, 3001, 3025, 3033 Virginia Beach

1497158417), COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH.
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background:
The focus of this request is to demolish an office building and incorporate that
property into the existing Hyundai dealership to the east in order to expand the
auto display area. The submitted concept plan depicts the expansion of the vehicle
display area with the required street frontage, and display area plantings in
accordance with the Zoning Ordinance.
Staff took this request as an opportunity to combine the conditions of the 1995,
1998 and 2000 Conditional Use Permits associated with the auto dealership into
one comprehensive set.
• Considerations:
As a portion of the property is within the Francis Land House Historic and Cultural
Overlay District, the proposed demolition of the office building, and the proposed
fencing and lighting were considered by the Historical Review Board, and a
Certificate of Appropriateness was issued. A four-foot tall, white composite fence
with plantings is proposed along Kings Grant Road to aid in screening the
proposed vehicle display area from the view of the historic Francis Land House
and from the right-of-way.
• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission placed
this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to
recommend approval of this request.
1. The conditions of the 1995, 1998 and 2000 Conditional Use Permits for Motor
Vehicle Sales and Repair for the properties at 2981 , 3001 and 3025 Virginia

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The subject 7.65-acre site currently exists as five parcels that are developed with an office building,two car
dealerships and a used car lot.
• The focus of this request is to demolish the existing office building on the western parcel and incorporate it into
the adjacent site, where there is an existing Hyundai dealership.The applicant is in the process of acquiring the
westernmost lot in order to expand the auto display area.
• The City of Virginia Beach acquired the westernmost lot, 296 Kings Grant Road, as part of the Francis Land House
property acquisition in 1975. Since that time, several of those parcels have been sold and developed with
commercial, office and apartment uses; while preserving the historically significant Francis Land House. There is
an existing deed restriction that the City placed on the properties that restricts specific uses from occupying the
sites, including auto sales. The applicant is concurrently seeking City Council's permission to remove that deed
restriction in order to expand the auto-related uses onto that property.
• Most recently, in 2017, City Council approved a Modification of the 1986 Conditional Use Permit in order to
remodel and expand the Hyundai sales and service building, and also approved a Conditional Use Permit for a
car wash.The Conditional Use Permits approved in 1995, 1998,and 2000 on the other lots to the east will
remain in effect and are not subject to this request.
• The submitted concept plan depicts the expansion of the vehicle display area onto the parcel located at 296
Kings Grant Road; and, the required street frontage, and display area plantings required by the Zoning
Ordinance.
• As this westernmost site is within the Francis Land House Historic and Cultural Overlay District,the proposed
demolition of the office building was considered by the Historical Review Board at the January meeting and a
Certificate of Appropriateness was issued. In addition, at their March meeting,the Board deemed the proposed
fencing and lighting consistent with the existing structures within the Historic and Cultural District, and as such,
a Certificate of Appropriateness was issued.
• A four-foot tall,white composite fence with plantings is proposed along Kings Grant Road to aid in screening the
vehicle display area from the view of the historic Francis Land House and from the right-of-way. The proposed
fence and lighting are depicted on pages 8- 10 of this report.

Evaluation and Recommendation
The proposed request for a Modification of Conditions is, in Staff's opinion, acceptable given the predominance of auto-
centric uses in the immediate vicinity. While the Lynnhaven Strategic Growth Area Master Plan calls for long-term
redevelopment of the site with mixed-use, non-residential projects, the proposal is compatible with the existing uses
along this section of Virginia Beach Boulevard.
The proposed Concept Plan depicts landscaping, fencing and lighting that will complement the Francis Land House
Historic and Cultural Overlay District, and as approved by the Historical Review Board.
For the reasons stated above, Staff recommends approval of this application, subject to the conditions below.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as located in the Lynnhaven Strategic Growth Area. The long-term vision for
the Lynnhaven SGA calls for a series of mixed-use and flexible developments. Design principles include enabling flexible
development sites and building types to respond to ever-changing market needs and development programs that are
compatible with AICUZ restrictions.The Comprehensive Plan's Special Area Development Guidelines for Urban Areas
provide recommendations for site design. Specific to this proposal is the opportunity to incorporate quality landscaping
and enhance exterior walls facing streets to have substantial material change and transparency.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, adjacent to Little Neck Creek.The site is impacted by the Resource
Protection Area, the most stringently regulation portion of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. Portions of the site
are located in the AE floodplain and the floodway; however, no land disturbance is proposed in these environmentally
sensitive areas. There does not appear to be any significant cultural resources associated with the site.
The property located at 296 Kings Grant is located within the Francis Land Historic and Cultural Zoning Overlay District.
All projects proposed within the Historic and Cultural District must respect the heritage and reinforce the integrity of the
district's historic character. The scale, placement, massing and proportion of buildings, additions and signage should be
designed in a way that is consistent with the historic character of this district.

Evergreen Virginia, LLC [Applicant]
Modification of Conditions for Motor Vehicle Sales, Rentals, and Repair and Car Wash
Facility
296 Kings Grant Road and 2981, 3001,3025, and 3033 Virginia Beach Blvd
District—Beach
April 11, 2018
APPROVED
Mr. Fisher: So this afternoon, we have five items being heard by the planning commission, the
first item is going to be agenda item number one, Evergreen Virginia LLC and this is an application
for a modification of conditions for motor vehicle sales, rentals and repair and car wash facility on
property located at 296 Kings Grant Road and 2981, 3001, 3025, and 3033 Virginia Beach
Boulevard in the Beach District.
Mr. Garrington: Members of the planning commission for the record Billy Garrington on
behalf of the applicant Evergreen Virginia, LLC which some of you probably, if you visited the
site,will recognize this as the Checkered Flag family of auto dealerships. So I thank you for trying
to put this on consent agenda and unfortunately, I was the one who pulled it off, so I have nobody
to blame but myself. I am just trying to get my billable hours a little bit higher. Thank you for
again trying that but the one condition that I would like to ask for some relief or to be eliminated
entirely as condition number 14, as it is written out condition number 14 will effectively put him
out of business because what it says is that we cannot offload cars on the city right-of-way. We
have to do it onsite and we cannot impede traffic at any time. It says that we cannot back the new
car carriers onto the site so that means that we can only pull them on the site, which means that
you then are going to affect back in back out into the Boulevard, which is going to impede traffic
and cause more of a traffic hazard than it would if you only take one lane of the highway and
offload the cars with someone out there assisting the truck driver. Keep in mind, these car
dealerships never know when these caravans are going to show up. You know about it, 10 minutes
after the guy arrives when he walks into the service department and says I have got a lot of new
vehicles for you here to offload. So that's the advanced notice you get sometimes. They even
come on Saturday and Sundays when the dealership's not even open. I didn't want to agree to a
condition that would put them in jeopardy of losing their use permit somewhere down the road
that needs to be revised or needs to be a done in a manner that it won't put them in direct conflict
with their use permit and that's what I am here to ask you for today. Other than that, it's a very
simple application, all they are doing is increasing the parking and the display area that they have
for the dealership. This won't be hurting anyone. It would become Jaguar and Land Rover. But
again it's been there for many years. When the Boulevard was widened and you took land away,
you have effectively put every car dealership on the Boulevard in the same position and to say that
they can impede traffic at any time is going to be a problem and they could effectively lose their
license.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, thank you.
1
Ms. Rucinski: I have a question. So have they been offloading vehicles now by just parking in
the street?
Mr. Garrington: Just like every other car dealer on the Boulevard. There is no way else to
do it, typically sometimes depending on the time of the day or how busy it is, we pull on the Kings
Grant Road which is the side street. They go up into the office area because it's a less congested
road. Most of the time they will pull up and take their right hand lane of Virginia Beach Boulevard.
They will have a lot attendant assist them to help direct traffic and they get the cars off as quickly
as they can, so he can go on about his business and go on to his next destination. But again as I
said, we cannot impede traffic at any time and if we try to back that truck out, this trucks have 18
wheels and they are 64 feet long. If you try to back it out into the Boulevard, you are going to
significantly impede traffic and it's going to be a hazard that you don't want to have happen.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, go ahead, Ron.
Mr. Ripley: How are they offloading them now?
Mr. Garrington: Like I just said they pull up and park it in the right hand lane of Virginia
Beach Boulevard right in front of the dealership, offload them as quickly as they can and then the
truck goes on about his business. He isn't affecting, impeding traffic if he does that.
Mr. Ripley: So they don't pull onto the side and offload at all?
Mr. Garrington: The problem is pulling onto the side; they would have to back out into
Virginia Beach Boulevard with the truck that is 67 feet long, which would create a tremendous
safety issue.
Mr. Ripley: So how long are they there? You said a brief of time, what would you call?
Mr. Garrington: 30 minutes, yeah.
Mr. Ripley: 30 minutes, okay, thanks.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, Don do you have a question?
Mr. Horsley: No, I was just going to ask about the time that it used to take, and you said about
30 minutes.
Mr. Garrington: They get them offloaded just as quickly as they can, because that new cart
carrier normally has vehicles that are going to other dealerships too, so the quicker he can get them,
the quicker he can get from that side, the better.
Mr. Horsley: And to have a space on your own property, large enough to do this and turn these
vehicles around, I don't know how much space it takes for those things.
Mr. Garrington: You couldn't do it in a cul-de-sac, I mean, that's just how big those trucks
are.
Mr. Horsley: It would take a large part of your parking area to do that. I can understand that.
Ms. Oliver: Commissioner Redmond?
Mr. Redmond:I have a question, I am not sure exactly for whom, I am a little uncomfortable with
the idea of removing this condition without some consideration from traffic engineering or some
2
I mean you know impeding traffic or not impeding traffic is not the kind of issue that I kind of
wanna make up while we are sitting here. I think I mean I understand exactly Mr. Garrington what
you are saying, I think that probably in my view anyway, it might require some more consultation
before we just decide to pull that out of here, we are not pull out of here. I am not a fan by deferrals
for a deferral sake, but I am just I don't know I am not comfortable pulling that out without
knowing any more than I do,Mr. Garrington,and I think that's something that probably there were
some discussion about but we haven't been to that discussion. I don't know what any other kind
of precedent is. Is this common in dealerships like that?I am a little bit weary of doing that. I even
made Barry get up and walk away. Anyway that's it if you would chew on that for a little bit that
might just be above my paygrade [Crosstalk].
Mr. Garrington: I can show you that I have done use permits for every other car dealership
up and down the Boulevard, everyone have been doing exactly what we are doing now and I don't
want to mention by names because I don't want to get any of them into a situation but once the
feeder road went away, you have nowhere else that these cars can be offloaded. Not a single
dealership has room enough to get those trucks onsite and then back out into the Boulevard it just
doesn't happen.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Inman?
Mr. Inman: I am wondering has this condition ever been put in another conditional use permit.
Mr. Garrington: Not that I am familiar with.
Mr. Inman: It has, is staff familiar with the issues that Mr. Garrington is asking, commenting
about many dealerships have to do what would needed to be done here, if this condition went in
there?
Mrs. Smith: Yes, it is, we believe City code prohibits offloading of vehicle in the public right-
of-way.
Ms. Oliver: So if that's the case, then.
Mr. Garrington: If you want to put on there to the greatest extent practicable or something
like that, I can agree with that but I am just, I am saying is just that the way it is written right now,
all somebody has to see them impeding traffic one time and they say that you are not complying
with the conditions of your use permit.
Mr. Weiner: The car dealership is down the road, an inspector came by and he would probably
site them also,wouldn't he?
Mr. Garrington: It's not a condition that is use permit and that could very well be the issue.
If you can put some verbiage on their to the greatest extent practicable or under only extreme
circumstances but the way it's written right now, I think it's going to presume a problem.
Ms. Oliver: Carolyn?
Ms. Carolyn: So they do with proper notice can apply with a traffic control plan through traffic
engineering, to close a portion of the street in order to accomplish that, but the scenario that Mr.
Garrington described is not permitted.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Yes?
3
Mr. Inman: I don't see how we can do anything other than what is written, it's a code so you
know he's got a problem I understand that.
Mr. Garrington: We will agree with condition is then we will work with traffic engineering
between now and city council to see what we can figure out.
Ms. Oliver: Great, thank you.
Mr. Garrington: Thank you, I apologize for that.
Ms. Oliver: No, always good to work through these things. Alright.
Mr. Horsley: Kevin do you know anything about, is ever been sighted for unloading cars like this
on the public road?
Mr. Kemp: Not from the planning department because this is in the public right-of-way and we
do not enforce that.
Mr. Horsley: So we have police department issue, you know it's kind of one of the same thing is
if a truck had a flat tire and it will pull outside the road, he will be lying there longer than that. I
understand Mr. Garrington's situation but I understand what our ordinance is also, so I have trusted
he will get it worked out before counsel with, maybe Mr. Lowman or somebody.
Ms. Oliver: The hearing is now closed and we are just going to open it up discussions amongst
the commissioners, anybody have anything.
Mr. Inman: I move we approve the application.
Mr. Horsley: I will second it.
Ms. Oliver: Commissioner Inman makes the motion, and commissioner Horsley did the second.
Mr. Ripley: Ms. Chair I need to disclose that applicants indicated Towne Bank is lender and I
am a member of the Towne Bank Advisory Board of Chesapeake and I have a letter on file, so I'm
stating it but I don't have any relationship here. I don't have any interest in the property. So I will
be disclosing, I will be voting, but I don't have any interest and I am disclosing this.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Alright, call for the question.
Mr. Fisher: By vote of 9 to 0, the agenda item 1, Evergreen Virginia, LLC has been approved.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: SXCW PROPERTIES II, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use
Permits (Car Wash & Automobile Service Station) 3264 Holland Road (GPIN
1495093490) COUNCIL DISTRICT — ROSE HALL
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
■ Background:
This application for Conditional Use Permit for a Car Wash and an Automobile
Service Station was deferred by the City Council at the September 19, October 17,
and November 7, 2017 public hearings. The request is to develop a vacant site
along Holland Road with a single-track automatic car wash and a 10-pump gas
station.
There were two speakers at the Planning Commission public hearing in August
2017 who noted concerns related to traffic, and questioned the necessity of an
additional car wash facility at this location. Based on their comments, the Planning
Commission added Condition 13, underlined below, that limits the hours of
operation of both the car wash and the gas station to 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven
days a week.
Also, since the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant's representative met
with the surrounding property owners. As a result of this effort, the following
modifications to the recommended conditions, underlined below, and to the
concept plan have been submitted. First, a right-in only entrance has been added
along Holland Road. A single point of ingress/egress along Warwick Drive is also
proposed. Second, the parking spaces and dumpster have been relocated farther
from the right-of-way. Third, the number of vacuum stations has been reduced by
one. Fourth, an electric vehicle charging station has been added to the plan. Fifth,
a 45-foot wide "no build" area along the rear property line adjacent to the existing
neighborhood is proposed. No improvements will be allowed within this area. Six,
the list of prohibited uses has expanded to include: eating and drinking
establishments with a drive-through, convenience stores, bars and nightclubs,
body piercing establishments, borrow pits, bulk storage yards, craft breweries and
distilleries, heliports, mobile home sales, motor vehicle sales and rental, tattoo
parlors, wine tasting rooms, and alcohol sales and service. Sixth, two additional
conditions are proposed by the applicant that requires the submission of a
Photometric Plan during final site plan review and that security cameras be
installed on the property.
As required, a 15-foot wide buffer is depicted along the property line adjacent to
the neighborhood. Rather than maintaining the plants as called for within the
Category IV requirements, the applicant requests a deviation so that the plants not

be "branching to the ground," due visibility and security concerns. Rather, it is
recommended that this area be planted with a mix of evergreen and deciduous
trees to be maintained in such a manner that the growth below the fence line be
pruned, and the vegetation growing above the fence remain, thereby providing an
appropriate natural screen for the residences. The applicant is agreeable to this
approach as recommended by Condition 6.
• Considerations:
The modified conditions as described herein are provided below, and the revisions
to the plan noted above are contained in the attached Staff report.
The revised concept plan locates as much of the proposed activities as possible
along Holland Road, away from the dwellings. Based on Staff's suggestions, the
use of primary colors on the buildings and structures has been significantly
reduced. While some red accents remain, the proposed elevations depict buildings
and structures complementary to the new development in the vicinity of this site.
Significant limitations to the types of uses permitted on the site are proposed. The
45-foot wide "no build" area, the 15-foot wide planted buffer, and an eight-foot high
brick wall are all proposed to provide both visual and physical barriers to the
development from the neighborhood. Further details pertaining to the request, as
well as Staff's evaluation of the request, are provided in the attached Staff report.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• This item was deferred by the Planning Commission at the July 12, 2017 public hearing in order to revise the
area covered by the requested Conditional Use Permit.
• This is a request to develop a vacant site with a single-track automatic car wash and a 10-pump gas station.
• Proposed hours of operation for both of the uses will be from 7:00 a.m.to 9:00 p.m., seven days a week. It is
anticipated that up to six employees will work on the site at any one time.
• The submitted layout depicts a two ingress/egress points along both Holland Road and Warwick Drive across
the street from the nearby commercial shopping center's entrance. No additional access is proposed along
Old Clubhouse Road.
• The car wash facility is proposed to be 106 feet long,and constructed with a mixture of brown and gray brick,
cement stucco, and an aluminum curtain wall system.
• While most of the car wash building will be 16 feet in height, a tower feature with red decorative trellises at a
height of 28 feet is proposed on the front of the building facing Holland Road. Cars will enter the facility from
the rear and any stacking of vehicles will not be visible from the right-of-way.
• A 134-foot long by 30-foot wide fuel canopy is proposed at the front of the site along Warwick Drive and Holland
Road.
• Parking for the uses will be accommodated behind the car wash facility. The 2.818 of the 32 depicted parking
spaces will also serve as vacuuming stations. a Eleven of these spaces are proposed to be served by a
canister vacuum system. Eight of the spaces will be located under a canopy and served by vacuum hoses
attached to the ceiling of the canopy. These hoses are proposed to be black in color. The canopy is depicted
with a gray standing seam roof with red edge accents and supports.
• Similar to the vacuum canopy, a vending machine canopy and brick enclosure, eight feet in height, is also
proposed to be located in the middle of the site. The proposed dumpster is also depicted with a brick enclosure
that matches the materials of the car wash facility.
• A brick screening wall, eight feet in height, and landscaping along the eastern side of the property is proposed to
provide a visual screen of the site from Old Clubhouse Road.
• The required streetscape,foundation and perimeter landscaping are depicted on the site layout. As required, a
15-foot yard is depicted along the property line shared with the backyards of the existing adjacent townhouse
development. However,the applicant has requested a deviation to the requirement of planting Category IV
plant material as it would create an alley with no visibility due to the presence of an existing fence on the
neighbors' properties. Rather,Staff has requested that this area be planted with a mix of evergreen and
deciduous trees that may be limbed up to six feet in order to provide visibility below the fence line, while still
providing the appropriate screening to the residences above the fence line.
• A freestanding monument sign with a brick base is proposed along Holland Road.
• The submitted layout shows a proposed future subdivision of the 4.49-acre site that will result in the creation of
a nearly two acre outparcel located in the rear of the site, adjacent to the existing neighborhood.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within the Suburban Area.The general planning principles
for the Suburban Area focus on creating and maintaining great neighborhoods through stability and sustainability;
protecting and enhancing open spaces and places of cultural and historical significance; and creating and maintaining a
transportation system that provides connectivity and mobility. Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities
either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability, and effective buffering
with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to the surrounding uses.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. A portion of this site is located in the Resource Protection Area,
the most stringently regulated portion of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. No development is proposed in this
portion of the site. There do not appear to be any significant cultural resources associated with the site.

Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Holland Road, in the vicinity of this application, is considered a four-lane divided minor urban arterial. The existing
infrastructure currently resides in a 95-foot wide right-of-way. The MTP proposes a six-lane facility within a 165-foot
wide right-of-way. There are no current roadway CIP projects slated for this segment of roadway.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
The site must connect to City water. There is an existing 16-inch City water main along Holland Road, an eight-inch City
water main and four-inch plugged water service line along Warwick Drive and a six-inch City water main along Old
Clubhouse Road.
Sewer
The site must connect to City sewer. Pump Station#548, which serves this site, has capacity limitation that may require
system modification depending on the expected sanitary sewer flow from the proposed facility. There is an existing
eight-inch City gravity sanitary sewer main along Warwick Drive. There is an existing eight-inch City gravity sanitary
sewer main along Old Clubhouse Road.
Evaluation and Recommendation
The proposed request to develop the site with a car wash and gas station is acceptable. The proposed site layout, in
Staffs opinion, is respectful of the existing neighborhood by locating the most intense use along Holland Road, away
from the dwellings. In an effort to ensure compatibility with the neighborhood,the applicant has proposed a brick wall,
eight feet in height,to provide a visual and physical barrier between the site and Old Club House Road. Staff also
recommends a condition that limits the uses on the future proposed outparcel.
The applicant has significantly altered the design to eliminate a majority of the primary colors proposed on the buildings
and on the structures. Some red accents remain; however,Staff is of the opinion that the proposed elevations depict
buildings and structures that will blend in with the new development typical of this area. Staff has recommended a
condition that the red synergy elements proposed alongside the gas pumps be removed. These elements, in Staff's
opinion, are unnecessary and detract from the aesthetics of the site.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of the request.

Conditional Use Permit
Car Wash &Automobile Service Station
3264 Holland Road
District 3
Rose Hall
August 9, 2017
REGULAR
Jan Rucinski: Our next applicant is SXCW Properties II, L.L.C.,which is an application for Conditional Use
Permit(Car Wash &Automobile Service Station)on property located at 3264 Holland Road, District 3,
Rose Hall. Would the applicant come forward please?
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you. Mr. Chairman and members of the Commission for the record, Eddie
Bourdon, a Virginia Beach attorney representing the applicant and representative Sam's Express is here
from Charlotte today. It was on the consent agenda,so I will keep this very brief. We've had very
positive, and I think very good dialogue with the Scarborough Square Community representatives and a
couple of those folks are here today. Jimmy McNamara has done a fantastic job. I think it has been a
cooperative effort and got a lot of conditions that I think very much enhance and restrict the utilization
of the property. It is all unconditional B-2 property.To make it a better situation for the community,
the conditions that are recommended including the added condition number 12, with the exception of
Condition 8, since we are going to hear this, I'm going to go ahead and make the pitch. Condition#8 is
the only condition which we object and that is with the staff indication, I believe,the Zoning
Administrator has indicated, although I haven't seen anything in writing that they are going to call these
synergy elements on the gas pumps signs. We don't believe they are signs.That has not been anything
that has been run up the flag pole. Obviously, if that determination is made,we wouldn't have them
because we can't have more signs than the Zoning Ordinance allows, but we frankly don't believe that is
an accurate assertion. But that is what was made last month, and again, if that determination is made
we obviously won't have those synergy elements with the Exxon gas pumps. That is why we object to
Condition#8. And as I said this morning, we didn't have any opposition here to speak and I don't want
to characterize their comments so I will allow them speak for themselves,we weren't going to fall on
our swords on that but we don't believe that they are signs, and again, if the City determines that they
are,then obviously we wouldn't have them because we would be in violation of the Sign Ordinance. All
the conditions with that exception of#8 are acceptable. We're doing a big beautiful brick wall behind
the site,with nothing but landscaping,green space and more landscaping for the homes back here in
Scarborough Square. The light across the street,their building, is, I believe, about 30-40 feet off the
same street. Our building is all the way up in the front.So, we are screening landscaping, creating an
absolute sense of place of arrival when you get past this development into the neighborhood. I have
restricted the hours of operation. Nothing but positive dialogue and restricting the uses on the out
parcel creating the buffer that Jimmy described this morning in the informal. Cooperatively we were
going to put up another fence, but where their fence is inside of their property lines because it has that
easement access to their backyards.We don't want to put another fence up and create the alley
scenario where there are no eyes on it. So we're proposing a landscape buffer for the out parcel that
will grow up and that still has the ability to be seen if they had fencing on their property. Again, I don't
want to belabor since it was on the consent agenda. It is a very high quality facility. I'll be happy to
answer any questions.

Bob Thornton: Are there any questions of Mr. Bourdon? Thank you.
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you.
Jan Rucinski: Our first speaker in opposition is Ms. Lyn Henry. As you come to the podium if you can
state your name for the record.
Lyn Henry: Sure. Hi, I'm Lyn Henry, I'm a homeowner in Scarborough Square. I don't know how many
of you were here in 2010, but I don't know how many days because we have been through this with a
place called Raceco. They wanted to do that Raceco in the same exact location, a gas station and a car
wash. And, Planning Commission passed it, and we fought it at City Council and they denied the project.
Back then we had Captain Lay with the First Precinct behind this and a lawyer to help us. The issues
haven't changed. Why do you need a gas station or a car wash literally less than 700 feet to the
crosswalk at the corner of Holland and Lynnhaven? You can actually see the crosswalk from the
sidewalk in the front of the proposed Sam's. Rio carwash down Lynnhaven is less than%2 mile away.
You have an Auto Bell 1.2 miles away down Holland Road near Lowe's and in the other direction, %2 mile
away at Shipps Corner you have three gas stations. Why do we need another gas station car wash? It
looks like a beautiful project. Mr. Bourdon has been wonderful about contacting us and keeping in
touch but we don't get it. I just don't understand. The amount of traffic that this place is going to
generate already with the legal and construction we are going to see a high-end in traffic. It takes
sometimes 2 to 3 light cycles to get out of our neighborhood in the morning during the peak traffic. We
notice they are beginning a separate left turn lane taking up two lanes from the other side of Holland
Road towards Shipps Corner. We are confused by this because once the outgoing traffic is trying to get
to the direction of Lynnhaven not Shipps Corner. That right lane where people are backing up to get out
of our neighborhood is going to be blocking the entrance to the Sam's Express. All of this thought
process is the entrance of the projected Sam's is going to be across from a Lidl. Sam's Express is
supposed to be destination traffic and we expect people will come onto Warwick with the intent of
gassing up, getting their car washed and then going across Warwick to the Lidl Shopping Center and
groceries or whatever. This is going to make Warwick a nightmare to navigate. Now you have people
coming in and out and then trying to cross it. There are also plans for some kind of division at Court of
York Quail. The property, deferred which we think they look great. To conclude,we understand that he
owns it, and we know that anything can go on this property. We are pleased about the 7:00 a.m.to 9:00
p.m. the store is going to keep and we do think it is a beautiful project. But we have the same concerns
that we did when the Raceco was projected back in 2010. Traffic is not going to get better. If anything it
is going to get expeditionary worse. Some of us feel this is a lesser other evils of what could go on this
property, and yes it could be but it is a neighborhood trying to deal with issues that have been brought
to the neighborhood via surrounding businesses and recent shootings and violence that is occurring is
lesser of the evils what we really should strive for?Should we hold out for better? Thank you.
Bob Thornton: Are there any questions of the speaker? Thank you.
Jan Rucinski: Our next speaker is Fred Aldridge. And Mr.Aldridge is speaking on behalf of Scarborough
Square.
Fred Aldridge: I have been at Scarborough Square for 21 years, and it is getting worse all the time. I can
imagine anyone of you wanting to live in a neighborhood where already now where we have the Lidle
Item#D2
SXCW Properties II, L.L.C.
Page 3
Store, a Hardees and garage that is moving in at the corner. As I understand,the gentleman says there
is an estimated 1,500 vehicles coming through there. That is 750 in and 750 out. Now they're talking
about 700 vehicles coming into the service car wash, right straight across the street with 700, that is 350
in and 350 out. We already have traffic even coming off Shipps Corner coming along through Old Club
House coming out to where this section is. It has been getting worse as the years go by. We have over
500 residences in that neighborhood plus the trailer park. Cardinal Estates and the trailer park, as you
go down to Shipps Corner Road.They come out through that area. We're looking at a traffic problem
right now. I have sat on the Holland Road Section above Lynnhaven through two lights for them to go
one traffic light down so people can turn our section of Scarborough Square. If you come out there
somedays, especially towards rush hour,you can look to the left and find as far as you see, traffic
backed up. Not only is it backed up down the street, but cars have to make a left turn coming from
Lynnhaven Parkway into Scarborough Square. And you know what type of ruffians. Pardon the
expression. But they general on that intersection so nobody and go anywhere. We can't turn into there
through the traffic. They don't leave a space for people. They want to get through that light, but they
have to stop. It is ridiculous. And you're going to make it more by approval this service station car
wash. Now as Lyn pointed out it may be the lesser of two evils but who wants an evil in your
neighborhood. Okay. I don't know who it can be approved if it was in your neighborhood, anyone of
you. I appreciate you taking a chance on us and being able to state our situation. And I hope you will
think about it especially if it were your neighborhood. Please. Thank you.
Bob Thornton: Are there any questions of Mr.Aldridge? Thank you sir.
Fred Aldridge: Thank you.
Jan Rucinski: We have no other speakers.
Eddie Bourdon: Not exactly the tone I was anticipating. Raceco was an application for a convenience
store with gas and a car wash, much lower quality and much higher traffic generation. This is actually a
substantial reduction in traffic. It is not destination traffic. I tried to explain that, but I guess I didn't do
a very good job. Most of it is actually captured traffic because of the large shopping center with a
number of out parcels, a Lidl across the street on the south side. The car wash would generate, we hope
as many 200 customers a day,which is actually 400 trips, because they count in and out as a trip. If you
look on page 3 of the staff evaluation, and I'm sure if you want to ask Mr. Lowman his input,this is a low
traffic generating use. If you had a convenience store,that has a whole lot more traffic. There is no
convenience store here.This is, as I said, unconditional B-2 property upon which something that can do
us across the street where the Lidl is going to going as a matter of right. Any number of uses that would
be much more impactful, and wouldn't have to see over all of this extra space on their property with a
beautiful brick wall landscaping on the back side that completely buffers and segregates the commercial
use on this large piece of unconditional property. Both the speakers alluded to lesser of the evil and
that's a characterization. It is a free country. They can make that characterization. I'm not going to
argue with them. I know from experience and I think you all know from experience, and I'm sure that
Staff understands from experience that this is a far better use of this piece of property with the hours
restricted which won't happen with a by-right use,then what would almost certain to go on this piece of
property were it not for the need of a Use Permit, which is what we have, in the case,the need for. I
give Exxon high quality gas station as well. Linda Russel is here. She offered to speak. She is in favor of
what's proposed. She is very active in this area, and active in this community. Again, a convenience
Item#D2
SXCW Properties II, L.L.C.
Page 4
store, I understand, it is open late hours. I can understand. But this applicant, high, high quality
application and the applicant has, I think have stepped up to the plate. I think Staff would tell you he
stepped up to the plate to do a very high quality development that will not be a destination that will
create a bunch of traffic. In fact, it solves it. Most of the people that will be going here will already going
to the soon,to be open shopping center immediately adjacent to the south. I'll be happy to answer
questions any of you have.
Bob Thornton: Any questions of Mr. Bourdon? Jeff.
Jeff Hodgson: I think you just said based on the hours of operation but I don't see any hours of
operations?
Eddie Bourdon: Yes. We first restricted the hours.
Jeff Hodgson: I may have overlooked it.
Bob Thornton: Item 3 on the back.
Eddie Bourdon: 7:00 a.m.to 9:00 p.m. Again,those are very restrictive hours of operations.
Bob Thornton: Other questions? Thank you Mr. Bourdon>
Eddie Bourdon: Thank you all.
Jan Rucinski: There are no other speakers.
Bob Thornton: If there are no other speakers or no other questions, we will lose the public hearing.
Jeff?
Jeff Hodgson:You guys said it was where?
Carolyn Smith: It is located under the summary. Under the summary of proposal. It is not a condition.
Bob Thornton: It is not a condition.
Eddie Bourdon: I thought it was a condition.We agreed to it as a condition. Please add that as a
condition.
Bob Thornton: Now that we go by all of this confusion. Don?
Don Horsley: What did we decide to do about condition 8 about the so called signs?Are we going to
leave that in there or take it out?
Bob Thornton: Mr. Bourdon has asked that it not be removed so that is sort of up to us to decide
whether we want to leave it or remove. He said he would remove it if the decision is made that it is a
sign but if you all decide it is not a sign, he wants to leave it. Is that right from my understanding? He is
Item#D2
SXCW Properties II, L.L.C.
Page 5
arguing whether it is a sign or not.
Kevin Kemp: Correct.There is another process beyond this will analyze interpretation of whether or not
it is a sign. If it is determined that it is a sign, it would have to get a sign permit and meet the
requirements of a sign ordinance,which having that many signs would exceed the number of allowed on
site. So,that would be care for there. If it is determined not to be a sign then structured ones that
meets the setbacks.
Bob Thornton: So, if we leave it in there, it won't be permitted? He is asking that we remove it and
then go through this other process, and if the process determines it is a sign and it is not allowed.
Kevin Kemp: I think we're finding a way because even if it is taken out,and they were able to add those
later, if they determined it was not a sign,then that could still be substantial conformance.
Bob Thornton: Okay. So we leave condition 8 as it is written?
Mike Inman: And adding the hours of operation.
Bob Thornton: And adding the hours of operation. Are there any other points?Jack?
Jack Wall: I just want to thank Mr.Aldridge and Ms. Henry for coming out and speaking. I do appreciate
their concerns, and I think this will add traffic burden to Warwick Drive, but it should be noted that it is
already zoned B-2, and whether it being considered a lesser of two evils, I think that the applicant has
worked closely with staff to provide quite a few amenities that probably wouldn't be there if this didn't
come through this process. It didn't come through the Planning Commission, which include the
screening and the landscaping, the 8 foot wall, and the buffering, as well as,the architecture that
prototype architecture for this type of facility could be much different than what it is, so I'm in support
of it.
Bob Thornton: Mike?
Mike Inman: I make a motion we approve the application with the addition of the hours of operation
being added 7:00 a.m.to 9:00 p.m.
Ronald Ripley: Second.
Bob Thornton: Do we have a second? Okay. We have a motion by Mr. Inman to approve and a second
by Mr. Ripley.
Carolyn Smith: The addendum has condition 12 as well. Is that part of your motion?
Bob Thornton: Let's make sure that we know what you're asking? Condition 12, I don't have the
summary sheet.
Jan Rucinski: The signs.

ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTIONS 102, 111, 401, 501, 601, 901, 1110,

PERTAINING TO DEFINITON, REQUIREMENTS AND USE OF HOME
SHARING AND SHORT TERM RENTALS [ALTERNATIVE 1]
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background:
Since 2016, the City of Virginia Beach has been working towards establishing an
Ordinance to address short-term rentals (rental of thirty days or less). Using input
and recommendations from the Beaches and Waterways Commission regarding
event homes, and from the On-Line Home Sharing Ad Hoc Committee's
recommendation to City Council, Staff drafted three ordinances. On February 14,
2018 the Planning Commission considered these three short term rental (STR)
ordinances. Alternative 1 created a Short Term Rental Overlay District. Within the
overlay district, STRs were permitted, all other areas involved a conditional use
permit. Alternative 2 required a conditional use permit; however, all STRs that were
registered and paid taxes as of a certain date would be grandfathered. Alternative
3 made STRs a permitted use and established criteria they would have to meet.
Planning Commission recommended approval of an amended version of
Alternative 3 to City Council, titled "Planning Commission Version." An amended
version of Alternative 2 was also vote on at Planning Commission; however, was
voted for denial.
On March 6, 2018, City Council held a public hearing for STRs. On March 20, 2018
City Council voted to defer consideration of STRs. Since that meeting, City Council
has held several workshops with the goal of establishing an ordinance to bring
forward. At the workshop on April 17, 2018, it was discussed that whatever new
version City Council drafts, it should return to Planning Commission for
consideration.
At the request of Mayor Jones, staff has prepared a STR questionnaire to be
distributed to all Council members. The results of this questionnaire will assist in
determining which items there is consensus on, and which need more
consideration. It is the hope that this will lead to an ordinance that can be
considered by Planning Commission.

• Considerations:
This amendment would establish definitions and requirements for home sharing
and short term rentals. Further details pertaining to the amendments, as well as
Staff's evaluation are provided in the attached Staff report. Opposition was present
at the public hearing.
Planning Commission did not support the use of an overlay district or of Conditional
Use Permits to regulate Short Term Rentals.
It is expected that City Council will defer this item.
• Recommendations:
City Staff deferred to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission passed
a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend denial of this request.

Request
An ordinance to amend sections 102, 111, 401, 501, 601, 901, 1110, 1125, 1521, and 2203 of the City Zoning Ordinance
and section 5.2 of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code and Add sections 209.6 and 241.2 of the City Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to definition requirements and use of Home Sharing and Short Term Rentals.
Summary of Request
This item was deferred at the December Planning Commission meeting to allow for further consideration. Since that
meeting, the Planning Commission held two workshops (January 24th and February 7th). During these workshops, the
Planning Commission discussed the proposed options for short term rental regulation, including the implementation of
an overlay district, the use of"grandfathering," and requiring a conditional use permit. Several key issues dealing with
regulation were discussed at length and are listed below.
• Occupancy limitations for short term rentals;
• Number of rental contracts permitted in a seven day period;
• Accommodation of off-street parking and parking requirements;
• Insurance requirements;
• Permitting of larger (special) events; and
• The accessibility and availability of an emergency contact.
Based on the discussions at these workshops, Planning Commission does not have an official direction prior to the
creation of this staff report.
Recommendation
Staff has no recommendation regarding this agenda item at this time.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO ADD ARTICLE 23, CONSISTING OF SECTIONS 2300
THROUGH 2303, (SHORT TERM RENTAL OVERLAY DISTRICT) TO THE
CITY ZONING ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS AND
REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO SHORT TERM RENTALS
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background:
Since 2016, the City of Virginia Beach has been working towards establishing an
Ordinance to address short-term rentals (rental of thirty days or less). Using input
and recommendations from the Beaches and Waterways Commission regarding
event homes, and from the On-Line Home Sharing Ad Hoc Committee's
recommendation to City Council, Staff drafted three ordinances. On February 14,
2018 the Planning Commission considered these three short term rental (STR)
ordinances. Alternative 1 created a Short Term Rental Overlay District. Within the
overlay district, STRs were permitted, all other areas involved a conditional use
permit. Alternative 2 required a conditional use permit; however, all STRs that were
registered and paid taxes as of a certain date would be grandfathered. Alternative
3 made STRs a permitted use and established criteria they would have to meet.
Planning Commission recommended approval of an amended version of
Alternative 3 to City Council, titled "Planning Commission Version." An amended
version of Alternative 2 was also vote on at Planning Commission; however, was
voted for denial.
On March 6, 2018, City Council held a public hearing for STRs. On March 20, 2018
City Council voted to defer consideration of STRs. Since that meeting, City Council
has held several workshops with the goal of establishing an ordinance to bring
forward. At the workshop on April 17, 2018, it was discussed that whatever new
version City Council drafts, it should return to Planning Commission for
consideration.
At the request of Mayor Jones, staff has prepared a STR questionnaire to be
distributed to all Council members. The results of this questionnaire will assist in
determining which items there is consensus on, and which need more
consideration. It is the hope that this will lead to an ordinance that can be
considered by Planning Commission.

Planning Commission discussed the proposed options for short term rental regulation, including the implementation of
an overlay district, the use of"grandfathering," and requiring a conditional use permit. Several key issues dealing with
regulation were discussed at length and are listed below.
• Occupancy limitations for short term rentals;
• Number of rental contracts permitted in a seven day period;
• Accommodation of off-street parking and parking requirements;
• Insurance requirements;
• Permitting of larger (special) events; and
• The accessibility and availability of an emergency contact.

24 The City Council hereby finds that there are certain areas of the City in which

26 a short term basis. In these areas, the City Council finds that such uses, when
27 appropriately regulated, may be carried on without adversely affecting the quiet
28 enjoyment of neighboring properties. In other areas of the City, short term rentals are
29 not compatible with the residential use of the surrounding properties and are often the
30 cause of excessive noise, illegal or improper parking, traffic violations, congestion and
31 litter, thereby interfering with the quiet enjoyment of the residential neighborhood in
32 which they occur The provisions of this Article allow short term rentals, with appropriate

Unknown Speaker: Well done Jan.
Ms. Rucinski: So we have a few speakers in regards to this.
Mr. Thornton: Before the secretary starts to call speakers, I want to say couple of things.
Number one, thanks for all the public comment and interest in this matter.
There are two of us on this council for seven years and there are several
that had been on it for double digit years and I am not sure we have had
anything that has been this interesting and engaging to deal with, not even
the comprehensive plan reached this level of interest. So I want to thank
everybody for participating in the public process. The second thing, I
really want to emphasized is when you are called to come and speak, there
are two buttons on, two little lights on that left turn and one is yellow that
2
blinks and red is blinks and the one tells you, you have a warning and the
other tells you it's time to leave the podium. So I want to really enforce
that because we have got, we could have as many as 40 people speaking
today, so we need to honor everybody's time. The other piece of it is if
somebody has said over and over and over and over and over what you
want to say, keep it short. One of things we are all ADD people and we
after a while we just cannot process anymore data, so if you have got a
new thought and new idea, something that we have not heard, please share
it with us, but if it's the same stuff over and over and over, we need to ask
you to honor that. So with that being said, thank you for coming here
today and at the end of the day, at the end of our hearing today, it is our
desire to make a recommendation to council on and then changes to these
ordinance agenda so eloquently red. If you got to bear with us a little bit,
because there is some procedure that we have to do that we need to get
from Kay Wilson to make sure we are doing it right and so with that, we
are going to get started on the public hearing process of this and when she
calls your name, please come to the podium and again state your name for
the record and let us know what do you think.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, I have divided these cards up. We will start with those who are in
support, there are some people who didn't mark support or opposition. So
we will let you speak in the middle and knows this have indicated
opposition we will and with those. So the first one I have is Jim Moffat.
Jim Moffat: Thank you. We would like to thank the planning commission for taking
3
this time.
Edward Weeden: You need to state your name for the record.
Jim Moffat: Jim Moffat, Sandbridge realty and we would like to thank the planning
commission for taking the time to research this very important matter, but
also like to thank you for having your own planning commission version
of the ordinance draft. In previous planning commission sessions and
workshop, many comments were made concerning number seven under
the short-term rentals. It was discussed that three adjudicated violation in
one year may result in revoking registration. Without much discussion, it
changed from one year to two years in the last workshop. We feel that the
one year is acceptable and that the two years would be an undue burden to
the home owner. The idea was to have a means to shut down a house that
would have consistent complaints. Kay Wilson said it best that you can
have one violation in February, one in March, one in April, three
convictions could easily occur in a year's time. There needs to be some
clarification for number six, those signage should be on the side except of
one foot by one foot sign. All properties have names in Sandbridge and
many owners spent thousands of dollars with artist to develop name signs
for their property and we just want to make sure that this would not be
included in this part of the sign ordinance. I know that was discussed in
the briefing today, but it is not listed anywhere in the ordinance. Last
year, when we are dealing with short-term rentals in the actually at in
Richmond and it was SB-1578, it was very clear that the commissioner of
4
insurance from the state of Virginia that the state should not be setting
5
insurance of minimums for liability insurance. It was a job of a license
insurance agent to determine the liability insurance. It was needed with
the home owner. The commissioner of revenue of Virginia Beach
understood that from those meetings and liability insurance minimums
was not included in his short-term registry ordinance that we have now.
We asked that you leaving the proof of liability insurance and remove the
500,000 minimum under point 11. I don't believe it's fair to a condo
owner or someone who rents the property only in the summer months to
carry that much insurance when it's not necessary. I believe your task was
to regulate short-term rentals in Virginia Beach not restrict the owner from
running their property. We filled the changes we have requested, we will
make the ordinance more fair and consistent for all parties. After all these
years of short-term rentals, it is time that City Council allow short-term
rentals as principal use. Somebody in opposition say that short-term
rentals will destabilize all neighborhoods in Virginia Beach. This is so far
from the truth by using Sandbridge, as an example for the last 75 years
dealing with short-term rentals where half the properties rent their homes.
To be clear, we don't want conditional use permits, nor that we want
grandfathering. I believe you have changed alternative three and I want to
make sure that the people that are here today understand and would stand
up in support of alternate three with the changes suggested, so those who
are in support of the alternate three, I would like to them stand up, so we
6
want to make sure you are clear the amount of people who are here during
that because they may not be able to speak during this time.
Mr. Thornton: I was going to ask if they all were going to now yield their floor time?
Jim Moffat: I hope not. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you, thank you. Any questions for Mr. Moffat? Thank you sir.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, our next speaker is Jack Drescher. Thank you, names are
challenging enough but sometimes it's the writing makes it little harder.
Jack Drescher: I apologize for my handwriting. Mr. Chauwian, madam vice chair, and
members of the commission, I am Jack Drescher. I am the immediate
past, underscore past president of Virginia Beach Civic League and I am
here on behalf of obviously the Civic League in support of what I believe
is planning commission alternative three which I think, if I am reading it
correctly was the same one that you came out of the workshop last
Tuesday.
Mr. Thornton: Similar.
Jack Drescher: Okay. We made our decision in support and looking at the work that you
did last Wednesday so let me just summarize it briefly more so for the
benefit of the audience so that they understand were the Civic League is
on this. I submitted to you a written proposal setting forth a very
exclusive detail exactly what we felt should be done and we feel like you
have come back and have struck the proper balance between privacy rights
7
and residential character of the North End, and frankly the residential
character of all neighborhoods throughout the City of Virginia Beach.
Sandbridge is a little different and while I appreciating Mr. Moffat's view
where Sandbridge is concerned, he wishes a task to cover all residences
throughout the entire city and zoning is very important and where there is
a tipping of the scales in favor of one side or the other, it is our view that it
ought to be toward the residential quality of the neighborhood. You may
recall that we asked that a conditional use permit be required of all non-
home sharing short-term rentals. We feel like you have struck the balance
by taking that out of the equation. We think that that would be overly
burdensome on short-term rental owners. We think that the registration
process with the commission of revenue will satisfy whatever you need. I
mean Mr. Calam Keshew don't know and perhaps I am being repetitive
here, he has a software program that can actually track virtual online rental
platforms and find out who is actually running short-term rentals in the
neighborhood. So with that registry applicable to both home sharing and
short-term rentals, we think you have covered the issue without the need
for conditional use permit. Briefly going over the other aspects of this, we
like what I will call the three strike to your rule, pre-adjudications of
wrong doing could cause with a consecutive two-year timeframe. The
revocation of the registration permit, contrary again that what Mr. Moffat
said, and I am lawyer by trait albeit retired, a lawyer can continue cases
and push things off and you may not have three adjudications in one year
8
even though, the actual issues himself occurred during that year. So we
feel like that two-year period, yes you have enough read it to cover
everything that you need. We particularly like your parking plan outlined
leaving that to the zoning commission. I mean zoning department where
they will actually approve on a case by case basis is a parking plan, I mean
all lots are not the same, Sandbridge lots are not the same as those are in
North End, and North End lots are not as the same as in Bay Colony. So
the zoning department head in our view will have the better opportunity to
look at it and see what will work and what will not. The noise restriction,
the traffic restrictions, the telephone number of a responsible party we
like, we think that that appropriate across the board, the signage issue does
not cause us any heartburn. Even possible city violations being posted
within the dwelling, refuge provisions, the proof of liability insurance, we
like the one million dollars, we want to come back to that momentarily
and we particularly like the maximum number of person on the property
after 11 p.m. and before 7 a.m. It shall be three people per bedrooms plus
two; we think that that's an appropriate limitation. Let's talk briefly about
insurance. I can appreciate what Mr. Moffat said with respect to the cost
of insurance to a particular home owner or someone who owns, either is a
home sharing situation or a short term rental but if you are going to engage
in commercial activity, which running a property is by any definition then
you should have adequate insurance, as a lawyer by trade and one who
tried cases for 40 years, most of them personal indications, I can tell you
9
that a necessary amount of insurance is going to be absolute paramount
because these are not hotels where you have all kinds of zoning
restrictions and building restrictions on a hotel by hotel basis. These are
individual homes and all of them are going to be different, so it should be
left between the home owner and his mortgage company and of course if
he decides he wants to rent that property either on a short-term basis or
otherwise, he is going to have to pay insurance to protect those who might
be injured there on that property by causes that he may actually not even
be aware of. So we like the one million dollar insurance. The one thing
that we do take issue with you about is the rental contract for seven
consecutive days. The outline of what you decided last week would
indicate that you want to have two rental contracts, you would limit it two
per seven day period. We think that there is attention there between
commercial use and residential quality of the neighborhood. It is a
position of the Civic League that by allowing a short-term rental of more
than two contract per seven day consecutive period, tips the scale in favor
of commercial activity and we prefer that it would be those scales be tip
backed towards the residents we feel like 52 contracts a year is more than
adequate. So that's our position. I did not take my allotted ten minutes, so
I am going to be congratulated for that.
Mr. Thornton: We thank you more than we can. Any questions for Mr. Drescher? Thank
you sir.
Jack Drescher: Thank you.

Ms. Rucinski: Our next speaker Joan Davis.
Joan Davis: My name is Joan Davis and I am past president in Sandbridge Beach Civic
League for seven years. I am also a paramedic for the Sandbridge Beach
Rescue Squad for 30 years and current president of the Rescue Squad.
Sandbridge has been a very successful resort community for over 60 years.
The proposal in front of you today totally almost skips the original intent
dealing with events to implementing controls on our homes and placing
undue restrictions on our personal property rights. It was more from the
[Inaudible] [01:59:22] to home sharing, to Airbnb and to short-term
rentals. You have come a long way by dividing the individual pieces and
we really appreciate your time, your thoughts, and your efforts in this
process. Placing event homes and short-term rentals; placing event homes
into separate category is a major step for all of us. The only thing left us
to make Airbnb separate for the short-term rentals. One size does not fit
all. We currently having a 5 mile stretch of beach over a 900 short-term
rentals in Sandbridge. That's over half of the rentals the entire city states
that they are registered. We have always going to short-term rental
community. As a matter of fact, the City-wide website advertises us as a
vacation destination. The fact is Sandbridge is only approximately 28%
full time residents. We are not Airbnb. The Citywide website one more
time advertises us as a destination location for vacations. Our surplus
taxes apply this city with over 16% of the entire tax pays. We pay for our
own sand replenishment. The city has a free public beach that are tax
11
dollar pay for; it does not come out of the city funds. With the news
stating that Hampton Roads is below the unemployment level while
jeopardize our thriving local economy and thousands of jobs. By
implementing these harsh ordinances, we are being held to a higher
standard than our neighbors. Sandbridge has approximately a 1000 public
parking places. We have three public bathrooms, Back Bay National
Wildlife, False Cape State Park, and Little Island Park. So what is normal
traffic in a residential neighborhood? You can see our pictures there that's
our normal traffic. In eight months of the winter, it goes down, but in the
summer, it will take you close to an hour to navigate in and out of the area.
We have so many visitors that loved the beach just like we do, most of us
welcome them. What is normal noise, quiet as a mouse in the winter for
the eight months and of course you can see what is like in the summer and
who defines normal. Anyway in conclusion, I believe that a
nonconforming use is sanctioned in tax by governing authority for 60
years that a right to continue the same has been created, Sandbridge short-
term rentals were allowed by the Princess Anne District and continued
after the merger with the city of Virginia Beach, billions of dollars have
been paid on Sandbridge rental homes and real estate taxes, hotel taxes,
sand taxes, flight taxes, service distant taxes and the like and we really like
you going to consider to make sure you don't over regulate for the
unintended consequences and we would also like to thank you all very
12
much for your volunteer time and even doing this because none of you all
are paid just like I am. You have any questions?
Unknown Speaker: Any question from the speaker? Karen.
Ms. Kwasny: I have a question, Joan you had mentioned that some aspect of the
ordinance are not sure you were being particular what maybe still overly
burdensome, do you have a particular point?
Joan Davis: I think with the three strikes out is pretty burdensome for all of us, I mean,
you could, leave your trash can out for three days in a row and then you
implement a penalty on all others that takes away your rental for the year.
But you are not talking a 1000 dollar penalty, you are talking a 100,000
dollar penalty, so I think that's a little over regulating, I think, if you are
going to implement something where somebody shoot somebody in their
house, okay, then that's okay but when you are just talking trash and noise
and stuff like that I think it is over regulating.
Mr. Thornton: Just so you understand, we talked to our attorney with this. These are three
convictions. These are three offenses, three trips to court, three orders by
the judge, not just a ticket for leaving your trash can out. These are
convictions within 24 months. Because most of the time, you cannot get
something through the circuit code and much less than a year, so if these
are serious convictions, so we heard you when you told us that and we
have, you all need to understand that these are just not small violations of
13
leaving a trash can in the wrong place, these are court convictions. So you
have got to really be, Mike.
Joan Davis: I think what we concern, what is a court conviction, I mean, what would
you convict for someone. When a judge rules that you paid a fine, or you?
I will, but I mean, would it be likely when your trash can out more than 3-
4 days, it is my point.
Bob Thornton: It could be, but I want to make the point that what the ordinance says that
it may resolve and the revocation of a registration, so the person making
that decision would be, how would be taken to account, what kind of
violations it were if it's like three trash can violation versus something
serious?
Joan Davis: It is not even in the same category of taken somebody's personal property
rights away by doing that.
Bob Thornton: No, I am just going to make the point [02:04:14] [Inaudible] got three
convictions automatic gone, it's, there are some discretion allowed.
Joan Davis: Any other question and not only why this red dot map gets me but these
red dots and this is an actual for scale map, this really gets me that how
you put, that the dots were like put in big highlight or marks. It's got only
120 Airbnb for the entire city with the map like this, it's really in
proportionate scale, when Sandbridge is labeled like about that much like
not even an inch, so I suggest when people do come up to speak and they
come from different communities that you asked him. How many homes
14
they have and how many actual rentals they have in their community, that
you actually deal with this, maybe you will get a better perspective at
Sandbridge is like 70% of what we are dealing [Inaudible] [02:05:02].
Any other questions?
Mr. Thornton: Questions for Ms. Davis, thank you, I am sorry.
Dave Redman: Just a follow up, I saw that map and that's kind of been grading on me for
sometime that's one of the what I consider frankly dishonest pieces of this
debate is we have had that long, the dots on that map are about the size of
half of my neighborhood. In my neighborhood has a thousand homes and
if you took a dot, you made it the square foot area of house which a rental
occurred would be barely noticeable, so I think there has been this effort to
try and portray kind of this, you know, will see a blob eating up the parts
of the city and that's frankly was one mechanism I think that was frankly
quite misleading and intentionally so. So thank you.
Joan Davis: It looks infected, it looks like we have measles and it's not the case at all.
Okay, thank you, any other questions?
Mr. Thornton: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Hey our next speaker is Denise Holden.
Denise Holden: Hello, I am Denise Holden; I own the little pink house on Baltic Avenue
24th, its little tiny two-bedroom house. I own property in Virginia Beach,
Norfolk and Richmond. I rent out most of my property long term. This is
the only short-term rental I have. Frankly, I love the business model and I
15
really appreciate the time that you guys are, I have watched the meeting
this morning, I love the time that you are putting into very serious issues
and I know everyone here most of these houses are huge, I just have a tiny
little cottage but it brings to mind what you were saying this morning not
all of these houses are the same and they all have different issues, parking
for me. That house was built in 1952, there was never a parking there, it's
always been on the street. So a parking restriction would be very difficult
for me, I have to get parking passes. I have insurance on the house but
that's between me and the mortgage company. I can assure you as soon as
I told them that I was going to go to short-term, they told me how much
insurance I was going to be carrying and it's pretty high, but I didn't need
someone telling me how much because that's already been taking care of
by the mortgage company. I had already sent an email to the group
hoping to discuss something that maybe would help you guys. Some of
the properties that I own fall under the neighborhood including the little
pink house fall under the neighborhood preservation. A lot of the
restrictions, I think would help with what you are trying to accomplish.
When I travel to other places, I want to make sure that my family is in a
safe house. I think I would be a little uncomfortable knowing that just
anybody could rent a building without it being inspected. In the
neighborhood preservation zone, you have to have the houses inspected
every four years. I mean everything write down to a cracked window.
Does it have adequate, you know, egress, are there broken windows, is it
16
safe, is it clean that would be nice to see, so that not anyone could just put
their house upon a website and rent it off and I think that would be very
practical. As far as, I am sure there are lot of people here they are fighting
it, but you have a nuisance caused, you pay a fine, put the fine per
bedroom, if the police are called to your house three times, then you pay a
huge fine, I don't think it needs to have that much restriction, I am happy
to pay the tax on the house. It has saved that little house. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Any questions for Mrs. Holden? Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Hey our next speaker is Bernice Pope.
Bernice Pope: Good afternoon. Thank you members of planning commission for letting
me speak today this afternoon. I feel like its tonight.
Mr. Thornton : State your name please for the record.
Bernice Pope: My name is Bernice Pope, I am a president of the historic Cavalier Shores
Civic League and I just want to make really brief that we had an executive
committee meeting and I just wanted to state that we fully support the
position at the North End Civic League as just per Jack Drechor president
of the North End Civic League has recommended, we do want to
emphasize that we are opposed, underline oppose to allowing two rentals
per week, we fully support one rental per week and we also request that
city has a plan in place to provide adequate support to its staff for
enforcing these restrictions that, you know, are going to be created in this
new short-term rental ordinance. Thank you.
17
Mr. Thornton: Thank you, any question for Ms. Pope? Thank you.
Bernice Pope: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Next speaker is Donna Watson.
Donna Watson: My name is Donna Watson. Mr. Chairman, madam vice chairman,
members of the planning commission, my name is Donna Watson and I
want to thank all of you for all the time and effort that you put into this.
For over two years, I have been attending hearings and meetings on the
issue of short-term rentals. I had to say I am although sad that when I read
what your recommendations are regarding what you are proposing with
your recommendations. There have been several City appointed
committees that have been involved with this issue and they have worked
for many hours, actually months on it and it seems like you all are
ignoring what they are recommending. I also just disappointed that you
are not thinking about the residence of Virginia Beach and all the planning
commission here and in workshops that I have attended, I have heard a
great deal about how regulations will negatively affect people who are
renting out houses on a short-term basis. I haven't really heard anything
about insurance of these houses are safe for the residents who live by them
and for the renters who rent them. The income of the city is important;
however, it should not come at the expense of safety. I am disappointed
that you are so willing to take action and can destabilize our
neighborhoods, who wants to live near our house so could have over 1000
strangers a year prating through it, well this also adversely affect the
18
security of our neighborhoods since it's hugely neighbors who are the
people that noticed something as miss and call the police. You are not
going to know that when you have lots of strangers next door. I am very
disappointed that you never discussed alternative two. Alternative two
offers a fair and equitable balance that will allow this currently renting out
their houses on a short-term basis to continue to do so. It will make
neighbors aware that someone wants to convert a neighboring residence
into a short-term rental, is a far more measured approach, until this
morning I really heard nothing about protecting the neighborhoods and I
want to thank you Mr. Ripley and Mr. Horsley for mentioning that at the
informal meeting earlier day . Allowing any house in Virginia Beach to be
a short-term rental by making it a principal use as proposed by your
version is a drastic stuff, I think it's a huge mistake. If the city council
adopts your recommendations so we no going back, I wishes you have
been more eager to take a more conservative approach which would allow
the city to deal with this issue on an incremental basis. I oppose the
substitute to alternative three which I believe is D5, I support alternative
number two, which is D4 but I do believe that the substitute offered by,
it's going to be offered by Mr. Ripley is far better. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you Mrs. Watson. Any questions for the speaker? Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, our next speaker is Cheryl Petticrew.
Cheryl Petticrew: Good afternoon, my name is Cheryl Petticrew. Thank you. Hello
chairman Thornton, members of the planning commission and staff, my
19
name is Cheryl Petticrew. I have lived in a residential neighborhood of
Sandbridge Beach for over 40 years. I have attended the planning
commission, STR workshops and have met individually with many of you.
During these meetings, most seem to listen and appreciate our thoughts
and our research, but throughout your public discussions, not once, I guess
until this morning, wasn't mentioned about the health, safety, and welfare
of our Virginia Beach residence and the neighborhoods. For the record, I
support short-term rentals with regulations, but renters pay to use
another's property instead of their own to do what they might not do in
their own home and in their own neighborhood. I have only to remind you
of the April 2016 college week shooting fertility of ODU students Darren
Campbell in Oceana Gardens, Airbnb, perhaps you remember that the
owner of this Airbnb lived in China and there was no property manager to
contact. This reminds me of the STR Ad-Hoc committee and their
frequent discussions on accountability. Please help us to be proactive in
our Virginia Beach neighborhoods rather than continuing to be reactive, to
quote the Virginia Beach comm. plan of 2016, a key indicator of every
successful city is how well it's safeguards, the health and the quality of its
housing and its neighborhoods. I support the city staffs recommendations
and I am not sure, I am not up-to-date on what happened this morning and
I want to point out interesting many other people that stood up behind us
are on the staff of the realty companies in Sandbridge. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you, any questions for Ms. Petticrew? Any questions? Thank you.
20
Ms. Petticrew: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, our next speaker is Brad Capps.
Brad Capps: Good afternoon chairman Thornton and members of planning
commission. My name is Brad Capps. I am the president of the Resort
Beach Civic League; our boundaries are the ocean front from pacific
avenue to Parks Avenue from Norfolk Avenue to Laskin road. On
February 12th, our membership met and we have discussed short-term
rentals and adopt the following positions. Our positions were based on the
original plan number two. We agreed with all regulations from plan
number two with the following revisions. We oppose all that houses; we
are in support of a requirement of a conditional use permit for a short-term
rentals because it provides an opportunity for all neighborhoods
throughout the city to submit input to the permitting process and the
ability to protect our sense of community tranquility and peace. Based on
our neighborhood, we opposed providing residential permit parking,
temporary parking passage to short-term rentals in our neighborhood.
Because they are businesses and they are required by city code 234 to
provide onsite parking. We would like to see all applicants of a business
license, we would like no more than two rental contract within any seven
business days and we did speak about 1 million dollars in insurance.
Thank you for all that you are doing.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Capps? Thank you sir.
21
Ms. Rucinski: Okay our next speaker is Nancy Parker.
Nancy Parker: Good afternoon. It is going to be a long afternoon for you all. Chairman
Thornton and members of the planning commission, my name is Nancy
Parker and I have lived in the Virginia Beach for over 50 years and I stand
before you today as a home owner, resident of the Old Beach district. At
one of your meetings, you asked or somebody did, where the residents,
where are the people on the Civic Leagues well, I am one of them and I
am concerned about what's been asked and proposed today. I think in
several of your meetings and watched your gravel with the issue, but I felt
that the conversations and solutions centered on the protection and
encouragement of short-term rentals, but on a wider perspective for the
unintended consequences on the rest of the city. It is apparent that the
investors and agents of the Sandbridge area have done their homework
and were very effective in their lobbying efforts and there is nothing
wrong with that, but several other options presented and created no
protection for home owners or residence like me and other neighborhoods
of the city. At the December meeting, one of the investors lobbying for
greater freedom in Sandbridge was asked by one of you, where do you live
and he replied Heritage Park, but he didn't want one next to him especially
in a rent house and neither do I. My question is why an investor has
greater importance than those of us that have lived and build up our
neighborhoods. These are our personal homes that we have spent our
money to buy, maintain, planted our tomatoes and our roses, and pay taxes
22
on for many years, why do we get pushed aside and our tranquility,
stability, and sense of peace have to take a back seat in the process for
someone that does not live in our personal community or even in our city.
I understand that the internet has dramatically changed the process and
opportunities for rentals, but that should not be at my expense or the
expense of every neighborhood or the expense of what Virginia Beach has
worked so hard to accomplish over the decades. The three options that I
have been following, option number two I realized you have made some
changes recently with this, with the use of the conditional use permit
requirement offers the best opportunity to provide some neighborhood
input and protection. Please keep in mind, this is a profitable business
venture in the form of a house including into a residential neighborhood
which can change the character of the area. This should not be classified
as a principal use by right. Even a daycare center requires a conditional
use permit, the rest of the city deserves consideration and protection from
the unintended consequences of a blanket open market for short-term
rentals, but may work in a subsection of Sandbridge, may not be
appropriate for the rest of the Virginia Beach, again thank you so much for
your time on this issue.
Mr. Thornton: Any questions for Mrs. Parker? Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Hey our next speaker is Robert Walker.
Robert Walker: My name is Robert Walker, I live at Sandbridge Beach, I am also a home
owner and I work for Siebert realty. Three years ago, I volunteered for the
23
Van Homes Committee and I crunched quite a few numbers about
Sandbridge [No sounds from 02:22:15 to 02:22:28]. Over 42% of the
houses in Sandbridge are managed by rental management companies and
the rental management companies do a good job of enforcing regulations
already. Over 64% of the condominiums are managed by the rental
management companies and the one number that really no one ever talks
about is that 30% of the houses still empty. Are these residents, I mean
that own by people that live in Richmond, Pennsylvania, Norfolk and they
come down in the summer time, spend their vacation, most of them have
earned these houses for many years, Sandfiddler road has 475 houses over
300 are managed, this is the ocean front and semi-ocean front, 125 of
those houses still empty. No one is there, they are owned by out of state
people. The residents of Sandbridge Beach make up about 30% of the
properties that does not count the condominiums and I feel that one people
stand up here and talk about integrity of neighborhoods, I agree with that,
but Sandbridge Beach is it a neighborhood, it's always been a vacation
destination and I find that the ordinances and all the restrictions in the
ordinances to be designed and geared up to make short-term rentals
difficult for an owner, which down the road people doing it and short-term
rentals will come to an end, which will hurt property values, it will hurt
revenue to the city of Virginia Beach because the vacationers between 35-
40 million dollars into the local economy around Strawbridge and the
24
General Booth area, we pay over 6 million dollars and transient use tax
and like I said Sandbridge is a residential neighborhood. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Any questions for the speaker? Thank you sir.
Robert Walker: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Our next speaker is Lee Gause.
Lee Gause: My name is Lee Gause. I live in Sandbridge Beach in one of the
condominiums. I also own an ocean front property that I rent out, so a
great majority of people who don't have the advantage of being able to
live at the beach as I do can come and enjoy the beautiful area of Virginia
Beach. I support alternative three, but I have a concern with the three
strikes provision. These places are big burden on the property owner, but
here is my concern if I rent my property, someone signs a lease a
responsible adult is going to be overseeing my property for that period and
they chose to do something that causes a violation that is an individual
who can be identify, sited and charged as that violation count against my
house which is an inanimate object and does it indirectly count against me
when I am looking at three strikes throughout if someone who you can
identify breaks a rule, they are the one which should bear the
consequences not the house nor the owner. That's my concern, thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Any questions for Mr. Gause. Thank you sir.
Ms. Rucinski: Our next speaker is Sarah Houck.
25
Sarah Houck: Good afternoon members of the planning commission. I am Sarah Houck
and I live in Chesapeake Beach and admitted I am going to tell you about
the experiences I had for about a month with the weekly rental next to me,
but I do want to say Nancy Parker and Donna Watson covered all the
points I wanted to make, we need a CUP, we need regulations. We need
one rental per week. Okay, so back in 2013-14, property next to me was
sold to a Cape Cod family, husband and wife and they said they are going
to rent it for two years and then they are going to move in, but they never
told us it was going to be weekly rental. So this one give you what is like
living next to a weekly rental for about a month. Number one, one of the
first groups we had was a large group of young man who were here for a
fish concert, fish concert last years for 4-5 days, they become stoned right
away, try to hang their sleeping bags hammock in our trees because there
was not enough room in the house for them to sleep as they continued to
be stoned all the time, they see us in the yard and hey maam. How are you
doing? What can I do for you, hey can you believe the property manager's
boyfriend, just offered us prostitutes, so you can imagine how we felt
about all that. Okay, next person, next group, they came in and stayed up
to 4 a.m., laughing and drinking around the deck while the water carries
the sound, people on both sides had to go to work 6 o'clock in the
morning, and they found they had to yell of their windows would you
please go inside, they had a bonfire which way too close to the house.
Number three, 75 people arrived on Thursday night for a change of
26
command party, heavy drinking and parking noise, whatever trash, so we
thought oh god, we got through this, but on the next night, they had
another one of 75 people and this was like the lower class on the sort of all
for the military I guess, so anyway two nights in a row 75 people parking
all over the streets, no parking areas, trash, alcohol, whatever kids running
through our yard. The next week, had a wedding party, there were too
many people to count, I couldn't keep track, heavy drinking and parking in
no parking areas, same thing just loud noise whatever, living next to this
was exhausting. We felt we are past aside, so someone could just make
some money, [Inaudible] [02:29:45] so why you should allow only one a
week, two a week we just cannot live with that. Thankfully the owners of
this rental became tired of taking care of the house since they live in Cape
Cod and sold it to military family are quiet, narrow, street lined with
[Inaudible] [02:30:03] trees is now back to normal. I need you to protect
my neighborhood.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you Mrs. Houck, any question for Mrs. Houck? Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Hey our next speaker is Billie Almond.
Mr. Thornton: He left.
Ms. Rucinski: Next speaker is Larry Horvath.
Larry Horvath: My name is Larry Horvath. I have been asked by my neighbors in
Baylake Pines to speak on their behalf. We have about 340 homes in our
neighborhood about 70-80% our members of the Civic League. We do
27
not want any more short-term rentals in our neighborhood and that's the
message is that we want and I want to ask you guys, how many of you
would want a short-term rental set up in the house next to yours or across
the street. Would you rather have a short-term rental or a daycare center
because to be honest with you. I would prefer the daycare center because
at least I know the person it's living there. I am asking why do you
protect the rights of a person who would bringing a bunch of strangers
move out of his house and turned it into a business and not protect the
rights of all of us who are important to these suburban neighborhood. We
love our neighborhoods, I know my neighbors. I have been there since
1987. They put a lot of great faith in me and having me talk to you. We
don't want these things in our neighborhood. We are probably going to
have to accept I would think conditional use permits I think would be the
best thing to protect us. They are already required for daycare centers,
why would you not require them for a short-term rental, these are
businesses and the more strangers you bring into our neighborhoods and
the more you destroy the fabric of friendships and long term relationships,
the weaker our little social bonds are going to be and these things are
going to fall apart in front of your eyes. So in conclusion protect our
neighborhoods, protect the suburban neighborhood we have built, I don't
think any of you would want one of these operations next to your house or
across the street, so please require the conditional use permits. If you have
to grandfather the ones that already there, I have got one across the street
28
for me, I think that's been a parade of people, different people every
weekend last [Inaudible] [02:33:00] before and I am not going to take
anymore of your time, I think I have made the point, please consider it.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you sir, any questions for Mr. Horvath. Thank you.
Larry Horvath: Thanks.
Ms. Rucinski: Molly Brown.
Molly Brown: Good afternoon, Chairman Thornton and members of the Planning
Commission. I am Molly Brown and I support the staff's recommendation
for alternative two and the recommendations to regulate short-term rental,
which was crafted by the City Attorney Mark Stiles, Kay Wilson, and
Director of Planning, Barry Frankenfield and Zoning Administrator Kevin
Kemp. I think a more conservative approach should be taken when
determining the acceptable use of property. By recommending that a
short-term rental is a principal by right use of one's property in any zoning
district, the planning commission is in effect saying that this will be a
vested right that will last forever. If city council agrees, they will be
qualifying an activity that will not be able to be amended by future
councils, for to do so, would raise the claim of taking of this vested right.
A more conservative approach would be to require a conditional use
permit for all short-term rentals going forward. Alternative two, in the
future if this appears to be the wrong decision; council could loosen the
reins and make it of principal use. Online rentals have changed the way
29
people book their vacations, Airbnb, Vacation Rental by Owner, Home
Away, FlipKey and many more. These online rentals are having an
impact on the brick and motor realty companies in my neighborhood. My
neighbor use one of the rental companies that charge at 18% management
fee. Then he switched to another company that only charged 15%. Now,
he chose an online company because the online company only charges 3%
and guess what, he has had more weekly rentals this summer's than he has
ever had with the old management companies. This is the future. This is
going on all over this city. This is why regulations are needed to protect
the safety and health of all residents and visitors, don't temper with the
311 number and operator of a short-term rental or agent should provide
contact information and be able to respond within 30 minutes to calls of
complaints received by the city 311 service. As already written in section
39 that 169 of the city code, as a quote president Dwight Eisenhower
extremes to the right and to the left any critical dispute are always wrong,
I believe a conditional use permit require for all short-term rentals going
forward will put you in the middle of the extreme of calling short-term
rentals a principal use and prohibiting altogether and I just received what
commissioner Ripley and Mr. Horsley have presented and I think that's
going very much in the right direction and I see that as a compromise, any
questions?
Mr. Thornton: Questions for Ms. Brown, thank you.
Molly Brown: Thank you.
30
Ms. Rucinski: Karen Thumb?
Karen Thumb: Good afternoon members of commission. My name is Karen Thumb. I
would like to support option three, but I would like to do with caveats. I
know that it is extremely difficult for this group and for the City Council
to come up with the proposal that is going to make all of your constituents
happy. Virginia Beach is made up of a myriad of communities, it's one of
the things that makes it so attractive, it's one of the reason so vibrant and I
think you are going to end up making a lot of people unhappy no matter
what you do. I also would rather we didn't do any of the options but I
think that should be sell and amongst the options I would support number
three, but I have three primary concerns. Item one, the ordinance is not
specific on how to attain a short-term rental registration, presumably if
you go through a management company, they will be able to get it for you,
but I am wondering if you really thought about that you are going to have
just from Sandbridge over 900 registrations all are ones hitting the
commissioner of revenue's office, so it would seem like you are going to
have to have a phase-in period. Item two, the ordinance states the three
adjudicated violations in two years will resolve in the revocation of the
registration, so couple of issues with that. The adjudication process needs
to be delineated, I understand, it's a legal judgment but when then initial
call comes in someone needs to go out and investigate and as someone
who is live next to an event home for five years since it was build, I can
tell you I called a number of times, there has never been a response ever
31
by the city, so if we are going to have this in this new ordinance, it has to
be enforced. There needs to be an investigation, I also think the home
owner and the management company if there is one, needed to be notified
as timely as possible because if it's a chronic problem, we need to address
it before we get three strikes in three days. I know it takes a while ago
through the adjudication but it will still be a violation that coming through
the pipeline. Then if the ordinance and if the registration is revoked, then
the ordinance needs to stay for what period, is it forever, three strikes and
you are done for ever or is it for a year for what period of time. The other
thing is if the revocation occurs what happens to that rental property
because presumably it is being rented. There are lot of renters that will be
fired up, they will put down their money in good faith, are you now going
to call them and say, I am sorry it's the middle of July but that house is no
longer available because there will be no other home, comparable homes
available for them to rent and you have just destroyed their vacation that
will give Sandbridge a very bad reputation and also Virginia Beach,
particularly in the stain of social media. The suggestion I have is to takes
places and that rental period and the renters that are in the house would be
told they cannot be rent for the next year or so that turned on impacting
the tourism business. Item three, on the enforcement of the noise, parking,
and trash, it just has not happened in the past, so looking and somebody
needs to come out, when I go home and they parked in my driveway and I
call someone needs to come out and make them get out of my driveway, I
32
don't need to wait until that person decides to leave the party or whatever.
I think the number one addition needs to be outdoor speakers, whether
they are temporary for an event or permanent in the home, the ordinance
needs to specifically just allow outdoor speakers, because the number one
issue is quality of life whether it's renters in the house or residents, the
noise level is totally intolerable and I thank you for your time.
Mr. Thornton: Any questions for the speaker? David?
Mr. Redmond: I have a question. Could you come up closer to that mike please? So
someone parks in your driveway, why just you don't call the towing
company, it's your driveway.
Karen Thumb: I don't know a towing company.
Mr. Redmond: I give you a number.
Karen Thumb: But the point is, you know, what I do, I go next door and ring the doorbell,
and I say, I am going to call the police and have your car towed but I am
risking a confrontation every time I do that.
Mr. Redmond: Then I would like the towing company, risking the confrontation, I mean
if it's your driveway, I have every right to have somebody's car tow and
the one of the problems that we have is we keep trying to assume things
that are, I mean assume under our umbrella, things that have probably not
and I think it's my opinion with the insurance very frankly, but somebody
parking in your driveway, tow the car [crosstalk] I understand that. So let
me make one point clear though because we have gone I think far enough
33
before it needs to be said there are not three and only three alternatives.
One of the unfortunate things in this entire process is that we are all
presented, all 450,000 of us with this menu of option which was artificial.
There is a much longer menu of things that we can do. First time, we saw
it was already drafted up in legislative language on our agenda, there is
awful lot more than that, so people sometimes think that they are
presented with these are the only three alternatives and we all of us not
just us, not just City Council but all of us in this community, always have
a lot more than that because we are the ones who call the shots, it's not the
case like a Russian election where you get Vladimir Putin and the two
guys Putin chooses to run against him, so I mean there is a much much
broader range of options at our community around here, I think that was a
very unfortunate thing just kind of put people in a box and thinking that
these were the only alternatives that they had and that's never been true
and I think that was very unfortunate, very wrong of done so, sorry, I
don't bring that up. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Our next speaker is Jean Davis.
John Davis: Hello good afternoon. My name is John Davis, I want to thank you for
letting me speak and I want to thank you for listening to everybody. I live
in Sandbridge Beach, which has always been a vacation rental community,
it is a safe community, in fact, at our last Sandbridge Civic League, our
council person Barbara Handley was proud to report captain Square from
34
Virginia beaches report that our numbers are very down, very low and
they continue to be that way. I don't think that we should be compared to
other traditional residential communities because we are not, because of
that there is a certain charm to Sandbridge that we all love, I am not going
to keep going on and on because a lot of people spoke with some of the
information I agree with but I do want to ask you and let you know I am
speaking from my heart and this Valentine's day, don't take the charm of
our Sandbridge, thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you, any question for Mr. Davis? Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Did you fill out two cards, Mr. Davis. Is there another John Davis?
Mr. Thornton: John Davis and Jean Davis.
Ms. Rucinski: Oh John, my apologies. So John Davis. Okay Michael Davis.
Michael Davis: Good afternoon ladies and gentleman. My name is Michael Davis, I am
here representing the Sandbridge Vacation Rental Association and I will
see. I am here today with only three minutes to speak, I want to speak
about the three strikes and you are out, all these ordinances that have been
proposed are focused on one thing and that is an enforcement through the
three strikes and you are out that is completely unfair. I would like
anyone on your commission to tell me how a responsible home owner who
is running his house, who is not negligent, who is not present and who has
done nothing that is forcible of what's going to happen at that house and
it's done by a renter, why he should be held responsible beyond any other
35
citizen? I don't understand that and I don't think they should be
accountable. In addition to that each one of these rules, regulations that
you are proposing are already quantified with the general public and by
imposing them through the three strikes rule, you are giving them a
disproportionate punishment and that punishment is if over period of time
somebody fireworks off at one year residences or rentals, three times in
two years that you can have your rental privileges taken away from you,
that can cause someone to have a penalty of depending on what the rent is
50 or 100,000 dollars a year and that penalty can continue in perpetuity as
oppose to a residence committing that same crime and being fined 25
dollars or being required to take corrective action that seems extremely
disproportionate to me and I can see in the future and I will respectfully
disagree with the city attorneys position on this. I am as an attorney myself
this is going to lead to a lot of lawsuits for due process issues, equal
protection issues, condemnation of property issues, and it's just going to
turn into a real mess. I think you need to rethink the three strike rule. In
addition to that I heard someone said, all of the chaos that rentals have
caused and I will say this for Sandbridge; we are the safest community in
the entire Virginia Beach area. We have almost non-existent violent
crimes, our property crimes are down 76% in the last 10 years and our
nuisance crimes only represent 3% of the total calls for those types of calls
in the City of Virginia Beach that's per capita square of the Virginia
Beach police department. So we are the highest percentage of rentals and
36
the lowest crime rate in the city, so all these people who are saying that
rentals are creating all this havoc, I think have to rethink that. They are
not as bad as people are trying to make them out to be, with that I will take
any questions you might have?
Mr. Thornton: Any questions to the speaker? Thank you sir.
Michael Davis: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Hey, the next speaker is Elaine Fekete. I apologies, I am sure I really
mispronounced your last name, so if you can state it for the record.
Elaine Fekete: It is Elaine Fekete. Just like it is spelled. I am afraid that everything has
been said, I have to do a little add living, the first thing I want to start to
huff with is I just want to be the one to point out that three-day rentals are
not the four letter word that everyone keep saying they are. I want to
share with you my three days rentals. My three day renters are the ones
that we have paid a lot of money to lower to this area to come to the
Sportsplex, the convention center, soccer tournaments, wrestling
tournaments. That's my three day renters. The other ones are military
families. I will get a call that says my son or daughter is being deployed or
is coming home from deployment. We want three or four days to be under
one roof, that's whom my three day renter, it's not the party, it's not what
the [Inaudible] [02:48:44] telling you that's my three day renters, so that is
what I needed to say after hearing some of the comments today. My
husband and I bought a house in Sandbridge 24 years ago and made it our
37
home. We knew there were short-term rentals there but it's a beach, it's
sort of foregone conclusion. We chose to buy our home there anyway, we
still live there. We were raising our kids there, but due to a sudden loss of
income we are now renting our home during this summer and have been
successfully doing so for nine years, we are not alone. Many Sandbridge
families chose to rent out homes in the summer just to make ends meet.
As a member of a group of home owners who rent their primary residents
are employ to reexamine the potential consequences of the way the three
strikes rule is written unless I am misunderstanding it, so consider if you
will what happened if my registration is revoked on July 1st of the second
year, as another woman pointed out what happens to the other bookings
that I have already taken, it's my home, it's my only home and I don't
have anywhere else to accommodate them, but more importantly
remember it's not an investment property for me. I am not stashing the
cash somewhere for a rainy day, my rainy day is now, this is my income,
this money that's paying my mortgage, my liability insurance, preparing
for the renters to come with bikes and kayaks and linens. I cannot refund
their money. I don't have another place to put them. I will go bankrupt,
my family will lose its home. I will be sued and then that's the reality, that
is the potential reality of the three strike rule and how all this happened,
potentially it could happen not because of a loud party or drugs in the
street or whatever, it could happen based on what I am reading simply
because of one misplaced garbage can, one extra child traveling with the
38
family, and one missing when I wrote this, it was an [Inaudible]
[02:50:47] one extra car, so all of this could happen in just one rental, and
the other thing about that is I am understanding from you since it's my
primary residence, I am being held to the same standard when I live there.
So if I have 20 people for thanksgiving and Edith won't leave by 11
o'clock is that a strike, it might be a plus for me but it is a strike. So
please consider relooking at the ramifications of some of these issues.
From the perspective of the person who is the residence that they rent to
make ends meet. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Any questions for the speaker?
Unknown Speaker: One question, how do you screen those applicants, how do you do that?
Elaine Fekete: Very carefully. I go through an online platform but that platform allows
me to communicate with them by phone, by email, I have never had a
problem in fact. We have become dear friends of many of the ones who
have stayed in our home. I know exactly how many people are coming. I
market my home to children, to multigenerational families because people
with little children are not going to be party at all night, I keep my
occupancy, you say, I can have 17, mind you, usually at max 10, I have
plenty of parking, I am on call for them 24/7, I offered to be their
concierge service because then I will know what's going on and they will
call me what restaurant, what should I get, can you get me tickets for this,
I am operating a business where the guests are, I know, everyone when
they get there.
39
Unknown Speaker: Very good.
Elaine Fekete: And if they happened to where it wants to bring an extra car, I have them
call and say can I bring one more car, can I bring one more person, we
have been very blessed with doing, there is a way to control it through the
online platform, it's not Airbnb or VRBO's fault, it's the owner that's not
controlling who is coming into their home.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you. The secretary has informed me, we have got about 15 more
people signed up, but what I like to do is for you guys to have a 5 minute
break and give my friends up here a chance to stretch and maybe round to
the restroom. So about one minute after three, we are going to get started,
backup, after four I am sorry.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, let's go ahead and going to go ahead and get restarted, Brandon
Beavers.
Brandon Beavers: Hello everyone, Brandon Beavers. I want to clarify the Resort Beach
Civic League's position. I was at the meeting the other night and I have
kind of feel like Mr. Chaps may have misled the commission here, we
didn't discuss option two specifically, we didn't vote on as a Civic League
approving the conditional use aspect of proposition two. We went line by
line and I read alternative three, we voted as a Civic League on alternative
three, not two. So I specifically want to clarify that. I have been doing a
short-term rental since 2015, in my four summers, this year and I have
heard all the problems and I think the problems that folks are having are
40
the exception not the rule. I personally screen all of my renters, they have
to communicate with me before they rent the house, I specifically say on
my side, this is not a party house. We don't do parties, we don't do
bachelors parties; this is a family home. I have never had issues with
police being called, my neighbors know what I am doing and my
neighbors are being neighborly, if they see a problem they call me, they
contact me. I am a firm believer in law regulation, I know that there needs
to be some sort of regulation but I don't want to go and overkill folks that
live in the resort area especially where I am at 16 street in Baltic, hit the
beach, know that it's a resort town. If you move into a resort town, you
have to expect activities that go along with the resort, I mean it's that
simple and I don't think my rentals has ever stopped anyone from growing
their tomatoes. So I don't work for a rental agency, I work for myself.
This is how I am saving for my 3-year-old daughter's college, Emerson,
and it's called Emerson cottage, right this is for her, so I have vested
interest in making sure that this house runs appropriately and is not
abused. I don't know, maybe I misunderstand but I don't see why the
rules for Sandbridge should be the same for the rules in someone in the
Princess Anne District for example. I am of the believe that where I am
at, at the Resort Beach, there may be, should be a set of rules for where I
met, because of the boardwalk maybe a set of rules from the folks that we
have heard it in Sandbridge. Because I don't think the rules were someone
and let's say the north end, where there is no parking, right should be the
41
same for Sandbridge where they have plenty of off street parking, so I
don't know if that's an option to put in different rules for different areas of
the city, but I am firmly against a conditional use permit, I am all for
regulation. I am also oppose the one rental per seven days, I don't have
any weekly rentals currently. They are all 3 and 4 day rentals, so the two
per seven day consecutive period I am in favor of, so thank you guys, any
questions?
Mr. Thornton: Thank you, any questions?
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, our next speaker is John Fristachi. How badly did I do on that one?
John Fristachi: I am John Fristachi. Baylake Pines, Lake Joyce resident, 20 years navy, I
was not born in Virginia Beach, I chose to make this my home and thank
you for hearing me this afternoon. I have heard of someone else who
spoke [Inaudible] I fly with the Virginia Beach police department in their
helicopter program to assist the city and my neighborhood has one of the
lowest crime rates in the city. Virginia Beach City code section 500
legislative intent regarding residential zoning states, the purpose of the
residential districts is to provide areas for residential housing types at a
variety of densities, providing for harmonious neighborhoods located so as
to create compatibility and provide for certain other necessary and related
uses within our residential communities, but limited as to maintain
neighborhood compatibility. This is a stunning document that attempts to
redefine in a blanket way, the ways residential housing is defined so as to
pave the way for a new breed of hotel forced upon us by the internet to
42
thrive in these residential areas that are zoning loss are intended to make
compatible for the residents, not for the business owners. The city's
contemplation of redefining these throughout this thrive is constitutes of
taking or taught based on the conditions under which residents bought and
have been taxed on our properties. As you deliberate on the issue, I
encouraged you, it's the first picture of three 100 person parties at both
houses adjacent to yours from the months of May to September and to
make allowances for ordinances that allow Civic Leagues and
homeowners associations to regulate their neighborhoods, so the unique
characteristics of the various localities in the city are not trampled by a
blanket redefinition or what residential zoning means, we are not all
Sandbridge, please don't assume that what is acceptable to the party or is
in one house next to the other house of partiers is acceptable in other
places in Virginia Beach. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you, any questions? Thank you sir.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, our next speaker is Andrew Glowatsky. Not here, looks like
Andrew,
Mr. Thornton: Hallstrom is a last name, Hallstrom?
Ms. Rucinski: Susan Satwski, Andrew, oh my gosh, thank you. You will think with
Rucinski, I would be able to do these more difficult names, but it just does
not work.
Andrew Glowatsky: Sometimes it happens that way.
43
Ms. Rucinski: Exactly.
Andrew Glowatsky: Good afternoon. Andrew Glowatsky an owner in Sandbridge, here to
speak about the short term rental market which I participate in. I am
opposed to all short-term rental statutes that are not focused on safety of
residence, guests and emergency responders in the Sandbridge
neighborhood. So for example, the recommendation me to assure parking
at short-term rentals and full term residents does not spill over into the
street, locking egress or emergency routes that makes sense and that is
consistent with expectations of local government rules and statutes, but
items like number six, number seven, eight, number eleven, twelve, and
thirteen of this, you know proposal in my opinion are recommending the
recommendations and solutions which they were on significant problems,
I recognized that loud parties have to be addressed as exceptions in my
opinion, the current short-term rental business model that has been around
I heard for 60-75 years as working for owners, residence and small and
large businesses. Those small and large businesses support these
activities, now I do recognize that a lot of the work has been done by this
commission and lot of the workshops and that likely recommendations in
alternative number three which I support would likely move forward once
reasonable revisions are made or deleted. I just want to take time to
advice this council on to take caution and a measured approach on these
changes and revisions in order to avoid any unintended consequences. If
revisions result in reduce short-term rental activity, the economic activity
44
could decline that could result in lower tax revenue and based that the city
depends on. With the fast forward to my retirement years, we bought this
house a year ago, little less than a year ago and I would see my wife and I
living in a house that we bought in the future until then the short term
rentals helps keep that dream alive. If Sandbridge is a vacation
destination, for me, it's a retirement destination. I thank everybody for the
time and consideration in this matter and I understand that this is not like
going to be a one in done solution, you know, you are going to have to
address safety first that's what I expect and then gets some input and just
like any improvement process, plan, do check act and then you know,
move forward with, you know, as appropriate, any questions?
Mr. Thornton: Any questions for the speaker, thank you sir.
Ms. Rucinski: Tarry Stevens?
Terry Stevens: Good afternoon everyone, my name is Terry Stevens and I am a fulltime
year around resident of Sandbridge. I have been in Virginia Beach since
the early 90s and my husband Matt and I bought our home over 14 years
ago. We purchased our home from the previous owner who rented us on a
short-term weekly basis through the summers. So buy in Sandbridge was
a stretch for us. We decided to owner the short-term rentals that summers
and that helped us to make repairs on the house. To give you some
perspective about where I live, the house directly across the street for me
is a rental. The house diagonally behind me is a 9-bedroom rental with 5
bathrooms and sleeps 20 and the house next to that one is also a rental. In
45
the 14 years that I have been in that house, I only recall a few times when I
had to call the police or the rental company about the music being too loud
or a noise issue. In both of the cases, the job was done. They came and
the music was shut down. My point is there are already laws in existence;
they just need to be followed. We have a noise ordinance; you are not
supposed to play loud music after a certain time in the city. We are
community of families in Sandbridge who welcome others to live their
dream by vacationing at our beautiful beach. My family and I enjoy our
summers in Sandbridge, we like meeting new families who rent on our
street, we love the businesses that thrive in Sandbridge, it's a small
community. We go to the restaurants, we go to the market, we enjoy the
ice-cream shop. We don't want to see more regulation on the short-term
rentals in Sandbridge. Sandbridge is different. It is different than the
other parts of our city. It has always been different and it needs to be
treated that way. One comment I do want to make on the proposal that
you are looking at again that three violation rule, what happens if your
neighbor hates you, what happens if they say, oh I don't want that house
being a rental next to me, I know what I can do, I will go ahead and call
the city and have three noise violations, three trash violations, three
parking violations, once they get convicted or it gets through, that house
cannot rent anymore. I just don't think that's fair, so I think you need to
re-visit, look at some of the things that you having there, I know that you
have already heard from a lot of people but my family like Sandbridge, we
46
like it exactly how it is and I think you just need to consider some of the
regulations that you are putting on the short-term rentals. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Any questions for Ms. Stevens? Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Our next speaker is Tim Solanic.
Unknown Speaker: Gone, he was leaving.
Ms. Rucinski: Andrew Roper?
Andrew Roper: Good afternoon Mr. Commissioner, ladies and gentleman of the
commission, members of staff My name is Andrew Roper; I am the
current president of Sandbridge Beach Civic League. I stand here before
you today as a resident of Sandbridge and as a president of the Civic
League; however, I have no formal position from the Civic League with
respect to any of these ordinances because quite frankly this has been a
moving target, we have had an opportunity to really deliberate and
properly come to a decision where we stand as a community on any of
these proposed alternatives. I would tell you there was a resident in a
Sandbridge that I enjoyed the fact that where I live is a vacation
destination for a lot of people, in fact, when my family decided to move
down here in 1991. It's because we had vacation in between the beach, but
frankly we had stayed in hotels, but we knew that we want to live near to
beach. We enjoy the beach atmosphere and quite frankly if we could stay
in a house, we would have, because it's better to stay in a home than to
stay in a hotel. I don't want to eat out every night. My family did not
47
want to eat out every night, it's very expensive. You know, the more
comfortable feeling being inside a home than the hotel. So there is a
certain draw to renting out someone's home if they willing to make that
available to people that brings people to the community. If you put in
regulations that or have the potential of stifling this activity or making it
honorous for homeowner upkeep the building and stay within the
ordinances and be law enforcement [Inaudible] [03:15:59] intermediating
between disputes between residents and neighbors or stepping in and
making sure that the noise isn't too loud or the trash cans are going in all
time. People are not going to bother to do this, some of them want to sell,
move out, they are going to take the business down to Kitty Hawk. So I
don't know about you but I don't want to see the tourism leave our city,
it's one of the vital economic drivers of our community and to do anything
to jeopardize and I think it would be foolhardy on the part of the planning
commission and the City Council. Specifically, we haven't hear some
ordinances and all the alternatives that are particularly concerning, a lot of
people spoken about lot of these, namely the three strikes and you are out
rule, I won't be redundant on that, I think enough has been said already on
it, but the item two no noise shall be created in excess what normally is
expect in the residential neighborhood, what is reasonable in terms of
noise in the neighborhood. We go out to Pungo, where it's partially
populated, it's going to be lot quieter out there [Inaudible] [03:16:58] or
something like that but it's going to be relatively quiet, you bring yourself
48
closer to the ocean front perhaps, it's going to be collectively noisier, go to
town center, go to Kempsville, or go in these regions, it's going to be
noisier, but take a section like Sandbridge we have five miles of ocean
front, we have a National Wildlife Refuge, we have a bay behind this, we
have state park, we have the bay as well, there was a lot of draws, so that
while people come down to our little section of the town, they don't
normally stay there, don't live there, so there is going to be collectively
more people now, therefore, more noise. So how is it reasonable than as a
homeowner from renting our home to control the amount of noise that
other people are generating because they haven't [Inaudible] [03:17:40]
come down to my neighborhood. Secondly, no additional traffic shall be
created. Again in Sandbridge, we have one road in, one road out, we are
about the 1000 people per day who are day trippers who come down
during the summer months to visit our beach, they are using a one road in
and one road out, they use one road on [Inaudible] [03:17:58] to get down
to the city parking lots to 1000 spaces that city has provided for these
people across the public restrooms to visit those 5 miles of beach that we
pay for in terms of replenishment with our tax revenue and the people that
are renting in our neighborhood. So what is a reasonable amount of traffic
for our neighborhood, is it the busyness that happens during the summer
months, but not during in winter months or during the winter months and
not during in the summer months, what is reasonable then? There is also
this indication that if you are somehow to allow it by a right as a use of the
49
home then everybody in Virginia Beach will also start renting out their
homes and that is going to be all these problems associated with it. Before
we started considering any of this, people can rent their homes in anyway,
in fact, some of them already were. While there are some exceptions and
some problems, there are no more so statistically then what happens to any
other type of home ownership or rental agreement. There are plenty of
people who own their homes who don't care about the neighbors, who like
to have parties and make too much of noise around holidays, there are
plenty of people in the long-term rental agreements to do the same things,
but yeah because someone decide to stay for less than 30 days, they are
going to be subjected to additional regulations. They go far and above and
are redundant to existing ordinances. Lastly, the idea that you have to
have someone who response within 30 minutes or 60 minutes or whatever
the ordinance calls for, I think sort of informally deputizes the
homeowners to be law enforcement officials. This is very dangerous
precedent to set. There are so much intermediate between a conflict or a
dispute or a complain to some kind put the homeowner or the agent in a
dangerous position, especially in any hours late in night because if anyone
has been drinking anything or anyone, you know, have violent nature,
[Inaudible] [00:19:40] home owners involved, there is now an altercation,
now you have two problems to deal with, the original complaint and the
follow up assault [Inaudible] [03:19:48.9] and the police is here for a
reason, we pay good taxes [Inaudible] [03:19:51] they do need some more
50
help, but I don't think they are making home owners responsible to
[Inaudible] [03:19:58]. I thank you for your time today for all the efforts
you put in to come to this particular point. Any question?
Mr. Thornton: Thank you sir. Any questions for the speaker, Mr. Roper? Thank you.
Mr. Roper: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Next speaker is Dr. John Rosenman.
John Rosenman: Hello, I am John D. Rosenman, wanna put middle initial. First, I would
like to thank the planning commission for all the work you have done in
this area and with these documents and also to wish you a great
Valentine's Day. I hope you find your heart's desire today. I have been
taking notes for hours, there they are, I know I am going to here talk about
the three strikes rule in my dreams, that's for sure. I am a retired English
professor from Norfolk State University. My wife and I and two children,
our two children moved to Abingdon Village in 1982, that's a way back
and we wanted a neighborhood with a residential area that was a
community with stable homes with people basically who own those
homes. You know, a 17th century jurist made a statement that I think you
are probably familiar with. He said, a man's home is his castle, he didn't
say a man's home is his hotel. He did not and therefore I liked and my
wife likes Abingdon Village as it was, yet after hearing all this talk about
Sandbridge. It should be obvious that no two communities are the same,
one size does not fit all, there are differences, you have to take a nuanced
51
approach. Despite this, in general and serving for communities like mine,
I am oppose to short-term rentals and principal use, yes they can and often
do stabilize the communities involved, I am concerned about safety,
welfare, the health of the individuals, I am thinking of noise, parties, it has
been said that you can scream very carefully the renters, but I am not sure
that everyone always will and there are some who slip through and cause
problems. It's a big concern to me. In my neighborhood, you have people
from the military who rent homes when they do so for a year or six
months and you have that stability. There was one, we have one daycare
center where they have kids that's exception on my street and in our
community and every now and then there is one little dog who get away
and once a year I find that little dog and scoop it up and walk it back two
houses over to its owner, but that's no big deal. I think the most renters
would be very well behaved, but I am concerned about the exception,
moving quickly, I do think that I recommend that the commission take an
incremental nuanced approach. There is no reason we have to go from
zero to 60 odd ones and for that reason after looking these documents
over, I would recommend the alternative two, which is more moderate and
balanced in my opinion. Thank you very much for your time and if you
have any questions, I will try my best to answer them.
Mr. Thornton: Any questions? Thank you sir.
John Rosenman: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you, our next speaker is Cory Belcher.
52
Cory Belcher: Hi there, can you guys hear me. My name is Cory Belcher and as Ms.
Petticrew eloquently pointed out, I am one of the many, many people in
Sandbridge who works for a realty company and I am speaking today
because this affects my livelihood and my future. My family has own
property in the Sandbridge since the 1960s, but I was raised in
Chesterfield Virginia about two hours away. While attending college at
Virginia Commonwealth University, I had the opportunity to intern at
Siebert Realty. I have now been employed by them for nearly 7 years and
I have moved here and bought a home just outside of Sandbridge. One of
the many benefits of short-term rentals for this city aside from the
enormous tax revenues is that educated young adults are drawn to the area
for job opportunities in real estate and property management. In addition
to myself, Siebert has interns from Longwood, Washington and Lee,
James Madison, as well as other notable universities. If the short-term
rental ordinances go through, it will undoubtedly change our business
model in Siebert Realty. As these ordinances been in place in 2011, I may
not have had the opportunity to move here, start my life as a young adult
and begin my career and closing I want to thank you for your time today
and listening to everyone. I pray that we can figure out a way to keep the
peace without tanking property values and crippling the rental companies
but it had been a business for decades. Thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you Mr. Belcher.
Ms. Rucinski: Debra Griggs.
53
Debra Griggs: Good afternoon ladies and gentleman and thank you for giving me just a
minute to speak to about this. My name is Debra Griggs, I am a real estate
broker, I have practiced real estate for 34 years, I was delighted to hear
that they are real estate folks on this panel because I know you will look at
this through a lens that is important not only to our business but to our
economy. I do want to [Inaudible] [03:26:46] property management
companies and I feel I need to say that because an earlier speaker narrated
that or said that many of the people in the room are employees with
property management companies as if those people are less valuable in the
conversation and I would submit to you that those people not only work at
these property management companies, many of them live in Sandbridge
and they care deeply about the community and I just really need to
[Inaudible] [03:27:14]. Twelve years ago, my husband and I went to the
Outer Banks to buy a second home in a vacation rental home and we
ended up buying one in Sandbridge, which totally surprised us, we loved
Sandbridge, we love the culture, we love the people, we love the
environment, Sandbridge has been a vacation rental destination for years
and vacation rentals are the economic engine in Sandbridge. We still own
that home and we love it and we still love Sandbridge. I believe strongly
that this proposed ordinance will devastate property values in Sandbridge.
I say that as a real estate broker who has been actively involved in that
market. The three strikes and you are out and the conditional use permit
components are particularly onerous and overbearing in my opinion.
54
Also, I would just simply say to you that this proposed ordinance I
perceive to be overzealous and sincerely believe that it will [Inaudible]
[03:28:20] unintended economic consequences on that community. I urge
you to think about it very carefully and dial it back, thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you Ms. Griggs.
Ms. Rucinski: Our next speaker is Patrick Keenan.
Patrick Keenan: Mr. Chairman and members of the commission. My name is Patrick
Keenan, I am with Siebert Realty in Sandbridge and I just wanted to start
of spending a couple of minutes telling you about the 12,000 plus leases,
as we had last year that did not have a single problem. I didn't get a single
phone call from resident of Sandbridge indicating that there was a
problem, as a matter of fact, I got a call from Mayor's office at the end of
the summer, telling me that he received one phone call this year
complained about a short-term rental and it was actually the renter himself
complaining about his property management company, not Siebert Realty.
So it just seems to be a little bit awkward that there seems to be a lot of
attention put on to the activity with perhaps hypothetical problems because
there is no record of complaints and I am not saying that the people that
are complaining don't have a legitimate right, they do, there is just no
history here that. The problem has been elevated to be much larger than it
actually is, so I just wanted to address a couple of things in the ordinance
in themselves since I have had that particular to say, I have received
numerous emails over the last couple of days with regards to the parking
55
suggestion, one parking space per bedroom effectively eliminates every
condo in Sandbridge from being able to be rented, two-bedroom condos
are the only ones that can rent because there is an assigned parking
situation at the condos down there, so if you passed this rule, you are
going to eliminate 100's of property right of the shoe, not to mention I
would imagine a fair number of properties that are houses in Sandbridge
that will no longer be able to rent under that particular roof and some of
those they have been renting for decades and have had literally no
complaints over parking. So I just would encourage that particular rule to
be considered. I would also like to mention that in my brief and perhaps
incomplete review of the insurance requirements, I have not been able to
find anywhere else where the city requires an individual to have an
insurance or business for that matter, only if you are going to have an
event on city property, you have to have liability policy and listed city as
additional in short the only other situation that I am aware of the city
mandating insurance as a business owner, I am not mandated to have
insurance on anything, but when I operate a vehicle on the road, the state
requires to have insurance but the city does not. So and again that's an
incomplete survey of the available resources there. I asked several
insurance agencies, they weren't aware of any mandate on an individual
have insurance. I would encourage the market to drive that factor, to let
people make the decision of what risk they wish to take. Roughly 20%
maybe little bit more than that 22% of our rentals on an annual basis are
56
less than 7-day round and to eliminate the ability to have two renters come
in one week would be up burden that many property owners perhaps could
not recover from, but likewise with 100's and 100's of short stays in
Sandbridge in the last 12 months, zero complaints, none. And I wanted to
point out the online platforms are effectively like an advertisement in the
newspaper, if you rent something or buy something, you are going to ad in
newspaper and you have a problem with that, you cannot call the
newspaper, they don't care, same thing goes with Airbnb, Home Away,
VRBO, they are nothing more than an advertisement. They don't have
any stake in the game, nor do they have any mechanism to address
agreements. Thank you very much for your time.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you. David Weiner and Mike Inman.
David Weiner: So out of the 1200, you said 1200 rentals?
Patrick Keenan: There are 1200 rentals in the city; you had 1000s of leases every year.
David Weiner: How many do you have though?
Patrick Keenan: I manage 340 properties.
David Weiner: So out of those 340 out of last year, so you had no, but you know the
owners got a violation for anything, loud noise or anything that you are
aware of?
Patrick Keenan: Violations, no I haven't even had a complaint from a neighbor.
David Weiner: That's all I am going to have.
57
Mr. Thornton: Mike?
Mike Inman: Can you tell me approximately what percentages of owners who call a
rental property from you or your company asks, does the owner of this
property have liability insurance?
Patrick Keenan: We require our property owners to have liability insurance through our
management.
Mike Inman: Sorry that was not my
question. Patrick Keenan: I am sorry.
Mike Inman: The question was how many ask you does the owner have liability
insurance.
Patrick Keenan: I have not had that question asked of me perspective guest ever.
Mr. Thornton: Don.
Mr. Horsley: What do you do for parking problems?
Patrick Keenan: Well if we are aware of a parking problem and the need to have a vehicle
moved, so it does not create a problem. I certainly allow overflow parking
in my facility but you know to quantify that would be difficult, that's a
business decision that I make to smooth the waters and make it possible
for people who enjoy the property and not create a disturbance.
Mr. Horsley: So in other words, you provide outside parking for, if you?
Patrick Keenan: Mind you, I have a limited amount of space, but yes sir, I do currently and
58
I have not ever had an issue with exceeding the available space that I
currently have.
Mr. Horsley: You said the condos, it would the requirement would do, what to those?
Patrick Keenan: Most of the condos are 3 and 4 bedrooms. They are all in Sandbridge
Dunes, they are all assigned one. They are allowed to purchase a second
one at the Sanctuary Condos, I believe they are assigned two and what we
refer to is overflow parking at all those facilities, so any people that
exceed the number of assigned spaces go to those spots. Mind you, I
understand that topic has not been in conversation here because the condos
never ever have a parking problem. They always accommodate all of their
parking on-site and so just don't brought it up because by rule since I am
expected to follow the rule, I would have told the property owners they
cannot rent anymore, so I would like you to consider that and perhaps just
the ordinance to accommodate parking at the condos as well. Thank you.
Mr. Horsley: And how much insurance do you require?
Patrick Keenan: We don't have a require limit, we require liability insurance with us as
additional insurance.
Mr. Horsley: But you don't give them an amount, whatever they give you, you accept?
Patrick Kennan: I allow them to make the decisions and accept the risk they are willing to
take.
Mr. Horsley: Okay, but you do require them to have liability insurance?
Patrick Keenan: Yes sir.
59
Mr. Horsley: Okay, thank you.
Patrick Keenan: You are welcome. Any other questions? Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Charlie Kelly?
Charlie Kelly: My name is Charlie Kelly. Thank you Mr. Chairman and members of
commission for allowing me to speak today. I live in Sandbridge. I am a
real estate agent who specializes in Sandbridge and I have the [Inaudible]
[03:35:38] probably having sold more homes in the last 10 years in
Sandbridge than anyone and I mentioned that for one reason, one reason
only that I know more the people who have bought these homes for rental
purposes than maybe anyone that is in this room today and these people
bought the homes with the expectation that this activity renting their
homes in Sandbridge, I mean going after 40 or 50 years and had no idea
that it was illegal or not legal, I guess it's more, maybe that's the correct
like and so to turn around and say everything you based your decision on
is now out of the window and we have new rules that could impact your
rentals, I think have very unexpected consequence and I have had you
know last several weeks more people called me and enquiring about
selling than to have at this time a year in the 15 years that I have been
doing this. Now maybe this just the time in the year, maybe it just
coincidental, but there is a lot of angst in the community. I was at a
60
meeting that was a meeting of All Civic League members from the city
and a city official got up to address this group of residents and the city
official said we have got the Wild Wild West going on out in Sandbridge
and we have got to do something to control it, it's out of control and he
said, one week you have the [Inaudible] [03:37:20] living next to you and
then next week, you have the [Inaudible], now I lived there since 2000 and
not on wood I haven't seen either of those couples and I don't think that, I
think it's a little extreme but I am a little worried about the three strikes
and I am not going to go into that but if these are the people who are going
to, this individual is going to be very involved in the process. I am a little
concerned with the work may that they may decide that they just want to
clamp down this, so that's one thing I see the other way. Another point I
would like to make it's a principal residents, my home is my principal
residents I live there seven months of the year. The other five months of
the year I rent that home, so it's a short-term rental, so I would ask you to
think about that and say when I live there, I would expect to have the same
rights and privileges as any other resident of the city and so maybe you
could say when in use as a short-term rental, thank you very much,
appreciate your time.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you, Mike?
Mr. Inman: Yes sir, leaving that aside the three strike thing from it, we were off the
topic today, what is it in the list of regulations is that we apply that would
scare somebody or worry somebody, point out to us the unreasonable ones
61
that would make someone, oh my god, wow, I don't think, I can live with
that?
Charlie Kelly: Well, I think Mr. Inman that three strikes is the main thing, it's just the
uncertainty of that and the fact that we are not controlling the people who
are creating the violations, noise, fireworks, trash, fires on the beach and I
would, you know, encourage you to say how can we put in place penalties
because if I tell my guest, please don't light a fire on the beach, I could
lose my right to rent my house, I really nice guy that I am, I don't care.
Mr. Inman: Going to the three strikes rule, I want to emphasize because it's been very
very popular topic today and matter that I am not sure everybody stands
although it's been reiterated a couple of times and you just said it, it says
may the alternative is to say shall be revoked but it says may resolve and
revocation so it will somebody way, give some of room for discretion and
the revocation. I don't say an immediate revocation, I mean people would
worried about they would be revoked right in the middle of the season, but
would not necessarily be revoked in the middle of the season that could be
taken to account, you know, the revocation day could be the end of the
season. So it's not quite as bad,big dog bite as you might think.
Charlie Kelly: Well for me personally, it would be a 280,000 dollar a year penalty and if
someone has a fire on the beach one week, fireworks a next week, and a
trash can that was not pulled in on time, I think has 300,000 dollar penalty
is excessive, I am getting a little excited because this is important and it's
not in sink and I just.
62
Ms. Wilson: We have heard a lot about the three strikes rule and I just want to make
sure everybody understands it. It's already in the law, it's already one of
the provisions to the registration and paying transient occupancy taxes, it's
not like this is the first time, and it's already passed. It's in the city court,
it's already there, it's in the state court, so we have taken it and cleared it
up little and make sure they adjudicated, make sure they are within a two-
year period that kind of thing, we have tried to make it clear what exactly
it is,but it's already in the ordinance under the treasure rules permit to this
activity.
Charlie Kelly: Within the last year that came in to the cover?
Ms. Wilson: That came in, yes, last year.
Charlie Kelly: As a result of this discussion.
Ms. Wilson: Oh, actually came in as a result of the state's discussion, registration of
these and transient occupancy taxes.
Charlie Kelly: Thank you for your time, any other questions?
Mr. Thornton: You are welcome, any other questions of Mr. Kelly? Thank you very
much.
Ms. Rucinski: Jimmy Fasen? Last, but certainly not least Lynn Hume. And look, she
was sitting right up on the front row the whole time.
Lynn Hume: Hi, I would not plan on speaking today, however, I am here.
Mr. Thornton: Name for the record.
63
Lynn Hume: Pardon me, Lynn Hume. I am home owner and an investor in Shore Drive
area and I have been a realtor since 1984. I am confused and I totally
disagree with that short-term rentals aren't legal use because they are not
mentioned in the zoning court. If that's a case, then everything that is not
in court or a law is illegal and that is not how a country works, that's not
how the State of Virginia works and hopefully that's not how the City of
Virginia Beach works. This court allow these buildings to be built, city
has made laws to register these properties, taxes are already being
collected on these properties, how can they be called illegal. They have
been here, they are here and they are in use. Many of these properties
have been here over 60 years; people may have plans for long term use.
They are taking reservations for the future right now. They have got
reservations for May, June, July, and August; it's not stopping, what
would you do with those reservations? I am not really in favor of
alternative three, it has some things that are not good, I am in favor of not
any of these alternatives and different from what I heard in all the
workshops I attended and the draft, I am hearing now that the continual
use permit maybe in play, if so, I am strongly oppose to that requirement.
If a conditional use permit is now required and denied, the city will have
taken away a person's long time right. In many cases, creating great
financial hardships, the market will determine the use in the non-beach
areas. Laws are on the books to take care of nuances and I hope that a
untrained owner or property manager will not be required to put
64
themselves in the middle of disturbance, is dangerous and can escalate the
situation, please let the professional handle these situations. Please don't
require conditional use permit, or required untrained people to put
themselves in harm's way. Also in regards this somebody is saying it's
been on the books with the city treasurer, I brought it up to many people in
the audience maybe a month ago, none of us had any knowledge of those
extra requirements to council approve, no one, it wasn't bedded, we didn't
know about it. I talked to many of the companies around here and I
actually forwarded what was added to the city treasurers, so you know, I
have also has the understanding that that's not enforceable unless it's in
court, but again, I don't know if that's true, but what's on the city
treasurers' office that's a requirement kind of slipped in and no one and
none of these people who the Sandbridge people and all of them did not
now that have been putting there, of course, I didn't because I thought that
this was all Sandbridge thing.
Mr. Thornton: Any questions for the speaker? Thank you.
Lynn Hume: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: There are no more speakers on this application.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you. So before we get started, there are couple of points that I want
to clarify because that last point confused not only some of you folks, but
some of us as well. In July of 2017, the general assembly gave the City of
Virginia Beach permission to pass an ordinance that required registration
65
of short-term rentals. The city council passed that regulation. We refer to
it is to Phil Kellam commissioner of revenue ordinance because it has to
do with registering properties for the collection of transient occupancy
taxes and that is on the books and there are some things in it that we
wanted to make sure that we didn't countermand or pass our own
ordinance from the planning side, it contravenes that. So if you are
curious to know what is in that ordinance, do you know the number of it
right of the top of your head?
Ms. Rucinski: Not of the top of my head.
Mr. Thornton: But it is in a fact it requires people that own short-term rental property to
register and someone mentioned earlier that the city has in fact hired a
company to look for all the short-term rental properties that are in Airbnb,
VRBO and there are many of these have been found and communicated
with and for the most part most of them have registered. So that's a fact
and we didn't want to do anything with our proposed ordinance that would
contravene that.
Mr. Rucinski: And that ordinance is 35-169 of the city code.
Mr. Thornton: 35-169 and it was passed, it was on 7/1/17.
Ms. Rucinski: That's when it became effective, yeah.
Mr. Thornton: Became effective, so that's something that we have learned and we are
working within the confines of that. So I would close the public hearing
and then we can debate this amongst ourselves and I would certainly open
66
the floor to anybody that would like to speak and again in terms of brevity
let's not go over a stuff that we have gone over 100s of time, but all of us
would like to know all of their opinion of that because it's my desire that
we pass a resolution or pass an ordinance or recommend an ordinance
today and pass it on to City Council, so they can hear your concerns.
David Redmond.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Chairman I move denial of agenda items number D1, D2 and D3.
Mr. Thornton: Is there a second on that motion?
Unknown Speaker: Second.
Mr. Thornton: Okay, so we have a motion to deny 1, 2, and 3 which essentially deals
with the requirement to setup an overlay district, actually a geographic
overlay district, so we are ready to call for the questions.
Ms. Kwasny: I just want to state that I have a personal interest in the Miller Group, my
husband works for the Miller Group and the city's attorney has indicated
that it is permitted for me to vote on this despite that because it's a
recommendation we make the City Council.
Unknown Speaker: That's good. I have your vote.
Mr. Thornton: So we have a motion to deny 1, 2, and 3 and we have a second by Mr.
Hodgson and we are ready to vote.
Unknown Speaker: Mr. Redmond made a motion?
Mr. Thornton: Yes.

SHARING AND SHORT TERM RENTALS [ALTERNATIVE 2]
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
■ Background:
Since 2016, the City of Virginia Beach has been working towards establishing
an Ordinance to address short-term rentals (rental of thirty days or less). Using
input and recommendations from the Beaches and Waterways Commission
regarding event homes, and from the On-Line Home Sharing Ad Hoc
Committee's recommendation to City Council, Staff drafted three ordinances.
On February 14, 2018 the Planning Commission considered these three short
term rental (STR) ordinances. Alternative 1 created a Short Term Rental
Overlay District. Within the overlay district, STRs were permitted, all other
areas involved a conditional use permit. Alternative 2 required a conditional use
permit; however, all STRs that were registered and paid taxes as of a certain
date would be grandfathered. Alternative 3 made STRs a permitted use and
established criteria they would have to meet.
Planning Commission recommended approval of an amended version of
Alternative 3 to City Council, titled "Planning Commission Version." An
amended version of Alternative 2 was also vote on at Planning Commission;
however, was voted for denial.
On March 6, 2018, City Council held a public hearing for STRs. On March 20,
2018 City Council voted to defer consideration of STRs. Since that meeting,
City Council has held several workshops with the goal of establishing an
ordinance to bring forward. At the workshop on April 17, 2018, it was discussed
that whatever new version City Council drafts, it should return to Planning
Commission for consideration.
At the request of Mayor Jones, staff has prepared a STR questionnaire to be
distributed to all Council members. The results of this questionnaire will assist
in determining which items there is consensus on, and which need more

consideration. It is the hope that this will lead to an ordinance that can be
considered by Planning Commission.
• Considerations:
This amendment would grandfather all existing short term rental homes that have
registered and have paid all applicable taxes prior to the date that would be
adopted with the ordinance. Further details pertaining to the amendments, as well
as Staff's evaluation are provided in the attached Staff report. Opposition was
present at the public hearing.
Planning Commission did not consider the alternative two drafted by Staff;
however voted on a substitute alternative two.
It is expected that City Council will defer this item.
• Recommendations:
City Staff deferred to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission did not
consider this alternative.
• Attachment:

Request
An ordinance to amend sections 111, 401, 501, 601, 901, 1110, 1125, 1521 and 2203 of the City Zoning Ordinance and
Section 5.2 of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code and add section 209.6 and 241.2 of the City Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to definition, requirements and use of Home Sharing and Short Term Rental.
Summary of Request
This item was deferred at the December Planning Commission meeting to allow for further consideration. Since that
meeting, the Planning Commission held two workshops (January 24th and February 7th). During these workshops, the
Planning Commission discussed the proposed options for short term rental regulation, including the implementation of
an overlay district, the use of"grandfathering", and requiring a conditional use permit. Several key issues dealing with
regulation were discussed at length and are listed below.
• Occupancy limitations for short term rentals;
• Number of rental contracts permitted in a seven day period;
• Accommodation of off-street parking and parking requirements;
• Insurance requirements;
• Permitting of larger (special) events; and
• The accessibility and availability of an emergency contact.
Based on the discussions at these workshops, Planning Commission does not have an official direction prior to the
creation of this staff report.
Recommendation
Staff does not have a recommendation regarding this agenda item at this time.

consideration. It is the hope that this will lead to an ordinance that can be
considered by Planning Commission.
• Considerations:
This amendment would grandfather all existing short term rental homes that have
registered and have paid all applicable taxes prior to the date that would be
adopted with the ordinance. Opposition was present at the public hearing.
Planning Commission made changes to Alternative 2, and voted on this "Planning
Commission Version." This amendment was recommended for denial with a vote
of nine for denial, and two for approval.
It is expected that City Council will defer this item.
• Recommendations:
City Staff deferred to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission passed
a motion by a recorded vote of 9-2, to recommend Denial of this request.

Request
An ordinance to amend sections 111, 401, 501, 601, 901, 1110, 1125, 1521 and 2203 of the City Zoning Ordinance and
Section 5.2 of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code and add section 209.6 and 241.2 of the City Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to definition, requirements and use of Home Sharing and Short Term Rental.
Summary of Request
This item was deferred at the December Planning Commission meeting to allow for further consideration. Since that
meeting, the Planning Commission held two workshops (January 24th and February 7th).During these workshops, the
Planning Commission discussed the proposed options for short term rental regulation, including the implementation of
an overlay district, the use of"grandfathering", and requiring a conditional use permit. Several key issues dealing with
regulation were discussed at length and are listed below.
• Occupancy limitations for short term rentals;
• Number of rental contracts permitted in a seven day period;
• Accommodation of off-street parking and parking requirements;
• Insurance requirements;
• Permitting of larger (special) events; and
• The accessibility and availability of an emergency contact.
Based on the discussions at these workshops, Planning Commission does not have an official direction prior to the
creation of this staff report.
Recommendation
Staff does not have a recommendation regarding this agenda item at this time.

D4
City of Virginia Beach
An Ordinance to Amend Sections 111, 401, 501, 601, 901, 1110, 1125, 1521 and 2203 of the
City Zoning Ordinance and Section 5.2 of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based
Code and Add Sections 209.6 and 241.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to
Defmition, Requirements and Use of Home Sharing and Short Term Rentals.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you. Now we would take up item number D4 and should we read
that into the record again? Are we okay with?
Ms. Rucinski: I think we are okay.
Mr. Thornton: Okay. Item D4 is essentially alternative two from when we got started and
we have Mr. Ripley and Mr. Horsley came today with some suggestions as
to how to modify that and I think Mr. Ripley would want to make an
substitute motion for alternative two.
Mr. Ripley: Yeah, I do want to make a substitute motion and it's alternative two,
revised dated 2/14/18, and we passed that after day but what I want to first
talk about is that the planning commission has worked pretty hard on
putting together the planning commission version, which is the next item
down on the agenda and in that there were number of things that Don and
I, we mentioned Don because Don and I are kind of brought this forth to
the commission, but the first thing was it was in a modification of the
parking plan, which everybody is saying, a parking plan demonstrating
how one parking space for every bedroom shall be provided, stake parking
shall be permitted. Such plans shall be reviewed for re-approval of the
zoning administrator or there is any appropriate to the zoning district and
1
the adjacent neighborhood. There was also a change that was we thought
would made a lot of sense was the two consecutive calendar being added
to the punitive provisions of the law of the proposed ordinance, item
number five and then the other modification there was no more than two
rentals per contract during any consecutive seven days instead of one and
then modifying the insurance to 500,000 instead of a million dollars and
omitting the emergency exit in the structure of provision and that dealt
really with mostly with the home sharing in a short-term rental, the same
provision regarding the parking would apply. The same provision, and a
modification to the notice in the event there was an incident at the
property and I will read this, the owner or the owner's agent must be
identified and able to present on-site within a reasonable time of
approximately 60 minutes of being contacted any time during the rental
period. The other provision that we modified in this, we are modifying
alternative two by the way, I should have said that on the front end that
there shall be no more than two rental contracts during any seven days
consecutive period and then modified also again in the short-term rental
the insurance requirement to 500,000 and the maximum number of people
after 11 shall be instead of two would be three individuals plus two
additional persons and then also the inspection period required a 24-hour
notice before the city would actually inspect a property. So those were the
modifications and in this instance, this is a provision in that, no other
changes were made. Okay. So in alternative two, there is a grandfather
2
clause that a grandfather is everything up until January 1 of this year
subject to some conditions regarding the commissioner of revenue and so
that would be part of what would happen if there was a majority of
members on this commission that would support this. So you know, we
are not, it is lot about Sandbridge and rightly so, but we are really dealing
with the whole city here. We are dealing with Baylake, you know on the
Ocean front, Chic's Beach, the North End, Groveton, Sandbridge, it's a lot
of lot of property and we cannot jump lump it all on Sandbridge, maybe
Sandbridge at some point, this was just off the site but maybe Sandbridge
come back and think about an overlay of that something that would make
a difference in that particular district because they feel like things were
some special but in this sitting, on this seat and in this commission, we are
looking at the whole city, we are not looking just at one district. So I think
we need to take all that in consideration. We have heard testimony from
all of the city, we have received how many emails from all over the city
pros and cons all these things were talking about and one of the speaker
said that we need to think in term of more moderate and balanced
approach, the gentleman with came up, that's the English professor at
Norfolk State, and I said reasonable recommendation this way I was
looking at it and I think this is the good place to start, so the amendment is
the substitute motion and Don do you want to say anything for this, before
I would make this motion?
3
Mr. Horsley: Yeah, I would like to because Ron and I had conversation just today and
Ron [Inaudible] [03:54:55] to go through this thing and I applaud him for
that. The thing that bother me the most about as this thing was coming
down, we have to make a decision one way the other was the protection of
the neighborhood and you know, I feel the Sandbridge has got its thing
going and you know I am not the one who is concerned about that as I am
some of the other neighborhoods within our city and as I spoke this
morning in the session, you know, we are trying to drive something for the
whole city and I really don't think it's really possible to do that and make
it work right, it just, but we are going to try and do the best we can and I
am sure it will get, it will have our vision and whatever but when we have
to, when we are given the test to try to drive something, we do the best we
can, so that's one of my main concerns is we had with some way to protect
the neighborhoods in the other parts of the city who aren't use to the short-
term rentals like Sandbridge and some of the Ocean Front and North
Beach is, they are not used to these and when they start popping up in the
areas in neighborhoods and that's concerning to me and I think it's
concerning some of the neighbors too and the residents in those
neighborhoods. So that's a reason I would support these changes in to our
alternative two [Inaudible] [03:56:28] to you, so that's the main reason
that we do this and I hope, we don't create too many enemies rather but
the conditional use permit process which goes along with that alternative
is one way that I think we can help protect the neighborhoods and that's
4
the main reason. I am not a big fan of adding extra word to planning say
but I think that's one way that we can help and protect the neighborhoods
and I think one speaker said if we go ahead and allow our thing by right,
it's hard to go back and take it and at a later time, when you find that there
is a problem with it, and I agree with that. So if we go this route, and if
there is something that needs to be change at a later date, I think we can
but that's my comment at this time.
Mr. Ripley: So it's grandfathered and any conditional use permit is for anything going
forward, everything in the past grandfather based on what it said in this
ordinance, so my substitute amendment is the alternative two that revised
on 02/14/18 of the top that was handed out to you today and that's my
motion.
Mr. Thornton: Before we, I think there are still more questions, before we call for the
vote?
Unknown Speaker: I made the motion, we got a second [Crosstalk].
Mr. Thornton: We need to keep working at it and I think Jeff, Mike, and David.
Mr. Hodgson: I mean I have been struggling everyday with whether CUP or no CUP and
whether what I am going to refer to is D4 which would be the supplement
would have the teeth to protect the home owners more so than D5 would,
so really trying to think but the home owners will ask Barry how many
short-term rentals we had last year registered and you said approximately
1400.
5
Mr. Frakenfield: Yes.
Mr. Hodgson: So if we had just say that same number going forward for this coming year
that would be about 120 CUPs, we would have to see in a meeting like
today is I mean, if my math is correct and the staff we have to work on and
I don't know how we can do that. I mean, and that's if the number stayed
the same at 1400, if it cut in half, then you had 700, you so have to divide
700 applications over a course of a year and that's.
Planning Commissioner: I need to clarify something.
Planning Commissioner: Yeah, I have a problem with that math and oh, I am not good at
math, but if we had 1400, those all would be allowed, so all you would be
new incremental.
Mr. Hodgson: That's what I am saying though is that last year, there were 1400 new ones
that came on live.
Unknown Speaker: Yeah, that would be once it had been [Crosstalk]. There were 1400 that
had been in for 10 years. [Crosstalk]
Mr. Hodgson: Okay, well how long did it take to accumulate those 1400? I mean?
Unknown Speaker: Forever.
Unknown Speaker: We have no idea.
Mr. Hodgson: Oh, I thought you were telling that by after registration requirement.
Unknown Speaker: No, these are ones that have been out there forever or you know, they are
just once, you now, they are now that we know about.
6
Mr. Thornton: Any other questions from the left? David, Mike, okay David?
Mr. Weiner: Couple of things, conditional use permit, I have heard from number of us
here that we don't want to regulate this and my feeling is we do
conditional use permit, staff comes up with the conditions, people come
front and talk in front of us, we came up with more conditions and then on
top of that they have the regulations or the ordinance. To me that's over
regulating and I don't think that we need to do that. To the neighborhood
protection just because of the CUP and there is a [Inaudible] [04:00:23]
having a party this weekend, they have party every night does not matter if
you have the CUP or not, if they gets out of hand and you call the police, I
don't see how that the CUP is going to help that. I think the
neighborhood, I think the regulations in this is going to and being
regulated having the ordinance and that's going to help out the
neighborhood, I think it's up to the people, they are going to have to call
the police or whatever they does to take care of the problem. I think also
if we think about to like this when we have a home based business come
in front of us, if CUP whether it's gone or whatever, the only thing we can
do or think about is parking. We have a parking plan in this regulation,
we might be come up with some other things but I think the parking is
going to be the number one thing and Karen I have said this couple of
times there is no tool to regulate the conditional use peiuiit and I guess the
biggest thing I have a problem with also is no way to be consistent with
the conditional use permit, how can one person come up here and came in
7
front of us [Inaudible] [04:01:32] something or other because I don't, what
it could be, and then another person come up pretty much the same thing
and let him have a conditional use permit. We have to be consistent and
there is no tool to be consistent, that's all I have.
Mr. Thornton: Dave Redmond and Inman?
Mr. Redmond: I think that I am going to oppose Mr. Ripley's substitute. The biggest
problem I have with the conditional use permit is it is fundamentally
unfair. It creates a system of haves or have not. You either have property
rights or you don't and for someone who might have owned house for 50
years, if they decide that they need a help now in retirement paying for the
mortgage and say they do like a one gentlemen said living a part of the
year and want to do it on short-term, he said I done a short-term basis for
certain number of months, they have to go through the conditional use
permit process, that means time and it means money and all the people
don't. I don't understand how that can possibly be fair, just you know, if
you can get down into the wire, then you have to go through all of that and
that just I don't know how to square that, the question of and the
grandfathering wishes the fundamental on fairness in my view comes back
to the whole conditional use permit, probably no conditional use permit
and don't have to worry about that part. So all along it has been cleared to
me that this process that we have been in is going to be disrupted, so I
mean if you are thinking that this is not going to be disruptive in some
ways, you better wake up and smell the coffee because it is and that's one
8
of the reasons why I haven t liked it all that much. I think it's simply is
altogether too onerous to expect someone to get a conditional use permit
for their own residence, which they might have spent 10 years acquiring
the down payment for and I know the 30 years to buy and say now you are
going to have to go through this step and you are going to be second guest
by handful of busy bodies who don't like any of these things because they
want to know who is in your house, you know, it's your house. It just
seems to me altogether too onerous and we ought might go down pass like
that with people private property rise, if you have a problem with someone
parking in your driveway get the car towed, if you have problem with
someone being disruptive and they are on drugs, and hanging hammocks
from your trees, call the cops, it's your property but the idea that we treat
every potential short term rental is something that requires this, you know,
this hurdle to get over, we treat every single one like it's [Inaudible]
[04:04:17] animal house, strikes me as altogether false and this is just too
much to ask of people with assists that after all they acquired on their own,
so I think just that's too much and I cannot swallowed once swallowed, I
am going to vote against Mr. Ripley substitute, frankly I am going to hold
my nose to vote for D5 because I don't particularly care for that, I think
we made a hash of this and you know, I cannot wait for this to get up to
city council and let them grabble with all these issues in a same way we
have because they are ones who sent it down to us with this artificial
dictate that it has to be done right now whether the sky is going to fall, so
9
we have had these things for at least 100 years we have had short-term
rental, so I don't know what the [Inaudible] [04:05:04] so I.would urge
folks to oppose Mr. Ripley's alternative and support when we eventually
get their D5 albeit, you know, reluctantly on my part, thank you.
Mr. Thornton: Mike Inman?
Mr. Inman: Thank you, thank you very much. [Crosstalk] I just wanted, I guess
emphasized the fact that we kind of need to strike a balance, so after
property rights but at the same time protecting neighborhoods, how do we
do that, how do we go about that as gently as we can, would that imposing
anymore restrictions and we can and I don't think a conditional use permit
needed to do that and hearing speakers today and emails we have gotten, I
think parking is a big deal, I think we can protect our neighborhoods a lot
with the parking requirements and I need to make sure that some folks
here, all of folks here understand that the parking plan illustrating, you
know, how the space for each bedroom is going to be provided does not
mean on-site, it was drafted that way but now it can be satisfy with offsite
arrangements that are proven to the zoning administrator, so these
regulations we have got are approaching important issues, I think we have
got to narrow down what needs to be done, we got rid of the emergency
exit sign planning and some more couple of other things and I would
support that but I cannot support a conditional use permit, it's too much of
a burden economically, economic development wise, in general it's too
harsh.
10
Mr. Thornton: Okay Jan, wants to speak.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, so this is one of the things that I have been thinking and I heard it a
number of times today is that one size does not fit all and I am, the people
from Sandbridge have an absolutely different opinion from some of the
speakers we heard from other areas of the city and I think that's because
that area is uniquely different than other areas of the city. So I am not
sure, I am really grabbling with the fact that I don't admit with anything
we have come up with is the right answer, I don't quite frankly know what
the right answer is, I do agree that trying to rush it through is just the fact
of life that we have got to do that, but I just I really think there needs to be
more work on it and I think at this point it's going to have to be done at
the city council level because we have been mandated to send something
out, but I just think we need to really send the message and remember that
we cannot always do the same thing for every area of the city because they
are so different and so unique and I think in order to respect the property
values to expect the neighborhoods, I think we need to find a way that be
able to provide some regulation for those people who are in
neighborhoods that needed and those that are traditionally rental
neighborhoods and especially short-term rental neighborhoods, the Ocean
Front, Sandbridge that it needs to be looked at differently and I think you
have made the comment about that earlier that maybe there needs to be an
overlay for Sandbridge and something else differently but I don't know
how we get there.
11
Mr. Thornton: Dee?
Ms. Oliver: I just wanted to talk about the CUP for a second and I know there were
several people that mentioned that we do that with daycare centers, which
is true, we do, we do that for gun sales and I thought about this, I mean,
that's all we have thought about for weeks, months. When we do a
daycare center, it's different. It's an existing use, we understand,
everybody understands how it works, you know, how many children per
adult, there needs to be a fence, we stagger the drop off and pickup times
so that we can regulate the traffic. It's a use that we understand how it
works. Short-term rental is so individual according to how someone
actually runs their house, their business, how they conduct their rentals,
it's not a use that you can before it's in place, actually understand how that
particular person is going to use it, sort of like sort of equated with the
hotel, when we want the hotel goes up, it's either going to be a really good
one, it's going to be clean and have good food and nice sheets and things
like that or it's going to be one has got bid bugs and you are not going to
go there and they are not going to clean it well. You don't know it until
it's already starts to happen in the after fact and so to put a conditional use
permit on something before it's already in place, it makes it difficult for us
to be objective and fair, so if you just have a lot of opposing opinions
against it, because they just don't want it. It just, it makes it difficult for
us to do what we are supposed to do correctly and that's why I am oppose
to it, I think that with the registration and the noise and all of a city codes
12
in place in the parking and the amount of people and the event permit in
place and all the other things, I think that will actually do the job of a
CUP, I just don't think that it would be really hard for me, I know
personally to be objective on something that has not happened yet.
Mr. Thornton: Karen?
Ms. Kwasny: I think each one of us feels it's necessary to say just a little bit on this
because it affects so many of you and the English professor actually said it
would take a nuanced approach to do this right, which would mean
addressing each item separately which is what Jan was saying will be
really nice if we could do and obviously we don't have the time to do that
and were working to move this forward. I also remember somebody
saying that they felt as though we had not taken into consideration,
residential communities, they are historically residential and how they are
going to be affected and well I don't necessarily take offense to that, that's
a little too strong, I am bothered by it because I think part of the reason all
of us should comment on this and how we feel about it is because we have
all taken it home with us and thought deeply about it and it's affected our
sleep, our relationships, you know, conversation constantly and so all
elements of it not just one and the CUP for instance for me has been, you
know, kind of a linchpin I keep going back to it, going forward with it in
my mind and then pulling back on it because I would really like as you
heard me saying another application that quality of life and you know
protection of communities, it is important to me, but the CUP bothers me
13
the most because there is no way to make it an expedient process,
somebody wants to come into the short-term rental and they want to get
started right away, it's going to be costly and it's going to be time
consuming and so we are going to prevent them from doing that. Two, we
don't have as David and I have talked about and as he pointed out, we
don't have an objective consisting assessment tool that can be applied
each time that makes a problematic to me. Finally, it seems to me that the
registration and the ordinance were creating already feel very stringent to
some people, we have had a lot of people come forward and say this is
going to be cumbersome, this element is going to affect me in a negative
way, so as Dee said we may have already provided enough protections
tool not necessitate the CUP, I don't know how else to better articulate
that, but that's where I am right now that the CUP is not necessitated
because we have created ordinances that maybe cumbersome to some and
therefore may protect residential communities better and so after a long
thought that's where I land.
Mr. Thornton: Jack, your turn.
Mr. Wall: My turn, I think we thought deeply and we have quite a few points, we
haven't really dealt into these points but you know I kind of echo Karen in
that we have, you know, addressed a lot of the issues through the 15 or so
points that we provided in the ordinance and 14 because we struck the
emergency exit point, but I am in, I am favor of not having a CUP.
14
Mr. Thornton: Okay, well, I will just add a couple of thoughts in a perfect world if we
could do this what I would love to see is to have runs amended alternative
and totally exempt Sandbridge, we cannot, you know, I don't know
whether we can do that or not, we have already decided we don't want to
have overlay, so we can do that.
Unknown Speaker: With an overlay.
Mr. Thornton: But we have decided, we don't want to bother the logistics of an overlay
district, so we have got professor said it, I actually written it down before
he spoke, there is no one size fits all and if we do something that
overburdens one part of the city and the other part of the city says you are
not doing enough for us then I suggest the city feels that way, you know,
there is a City Council, there is a planning staff and we certainly are not
going to every close our door to deal with this as it needed to be tweaked.
So I am fearful of a CUP because it's inconsistent, it's back to Dave's idea
about creating inconsistency so I am, I guess we are ready to call for the
question on your amended.
Unknown Speaker: Yeah, call for the question on the substitute and there is one, and it does
not sound like it's went our way so that's fine but I did, there was a
technical correction that January mentioned, there is a commission of
revenue date should be January not 2017, 2018, January 01, 2018.
15
Mr. Thornton: I am glad you brought that to my attention the law was actually effective
July 01, 2017, so I am going to ask you should it be consistent with the
date of the ordinance or does it really matter?
Mr. Ripley: It does not really matter, this would just make everybody who had had one
that was registered and paid their taxes by January, a month ago.
Mr. Thornton: Okay, good, I picked it up but I am not sure it's going to matter.
Mr. Ripley: But I think it will, but you know, I just will point out that the planning
director is going to have to review every one of these in the city thus far
parking and meet all these requirements, so you talked about regulations,
these going to really be [Crosstalk]. You know, what to do on this by
right and making it by right throughout the city so you know, it's hard to
come back from that so with conditional use permit at least we have a
place to go one way the other so I will just want to point that out where
you vote in way that and you have and purpose of this is to have the
discussion, consider it and move on.
Mr. Thornton: Thank you.
Mr. Horsley: I echo what Ron said and there is no way I could have sit here today
[Inaudible] [04:17:30] my thoughts about this and I am glad we had an
opportunity if we go down, I am not always in the winning side, so does
not make any difference but I just feel for the people like the gentleman
said that he had been in his neighborhood for 50 years and then all of a
sudden someone decided to sell the house, you know, stable
16
neighborhood, [Inaudible] [04:17:53.9] people in there every week, you
know, so I think that affects neighborhood and that's what bothers me the
most about the whole thing is his old neighborhood where people being
there for many years and house goes up for sale and someone who sees a
business opportunity to go and buy and start renting and I think that's
what my main concern is, like I said, you know, I got a house in
Sandbridge, I love the people in Sandbridge, you know, we love it down
there, I went there to sell my house or rent it either one for that matter, I
love it too much, but you know, they got their own thing, but it probably,
we probably missed that boat early on Barry when we didn't say let's put
overlay district and maybe overlay districts and maybe we could have
fixed it better that way and it may come to then in the future, I don't know
but anyway I thought this was the best way to get started, it could be
tweaked in the future but if you go in by right, it's done deal.
Mr. Thornton: Jan?
Ms. Rucinski: Okay so I have a question okay, maybe you can answer this. So
[Inaudible] [04:19:02] by right it becomes a done deal and then it can
never go back.
Ms. Wilson: It can go back but everything is nonconforming up to the point where you
take it back, so you will have all the nonconformities to deal with. Do you
understand?
Ms. Rucinski: No.
17
Ms. Wilson: Okay, when you decide you are going to make it a permit of use, okay,
and then in six months it was just Mayhem so we decided no, no, we are
going to make it a conditional use, will anything that has been done
between those periods is grandfather, not grandfather, nonconforming
because we had changed an ordinance on some money who is doing
something legal, okay.
Ms. Rucinski: So it wouldn't that be the same as the people now that it would be
grandfather [Inaudible] [04:19:44].
Ms. Wilson: No, it's a different concept. Very closed and sometimes you could use the
terms interchangeably, but the grandfathering has to be done specifically
by a legislature, it cannot be done by an act like a changing the ordinance
and it has to be specifically said out in the ordinance that you are
grandfathering these people and you make a distinction of who you
grandfathering. If you go and you change the zoning ordinance, people
who are legal under the old one, then become nonconforming. Okay, so
they won't have to get a CUP.
Unknown Speaker: Okay.
Mr. Thornton: So you have made a motion, we have a second, so we call for the question
and this is to vote in favor of or against item number D4. Well we are
voting either to approve this, he is made a motion to approve it, you can
vote in favor of that, you are approving his substituted motion, if you put
18
the red button, you are voting against his substituted motion. That's right,
you are ready?
Unknown Speaker: We are ready.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTIONS 111, 401, 501, 601, 901, 1110, 1125,
1521 AND 2203 OF THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE AND SECTION 5.2 OF
THE OCEANFRONT RESORT DISTRICT FORM-BASED CODE AND ADD
SECTIONS 209.6 AND 241.2 OF THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE
PERTAINING TO DEFINITION, REQUIREMENTS AND USE OF ACCESSORY
USE- SHORT TERM RENTALS [ALTERNATIVE 3]
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background:
Since 2016, the City of Virginia Beach has been working towards establishing
an Ordinance to address short-term rentals (rental of thirty days or less). Using
input and recommendations from the Beaches and Waterways Commission
regarding event homes, and from the On-Line Home Sharing Ad Hoc
Committee's recommendation to City Council, Staff drafted three ordinances.
On February 14, 2018 the Planning Commission considered these three short
term rental (STR) ordinances. Alternative 1 created a Short Term Rental
Overlay District. Within the overlay district, STRs were permitted, all other
areas involved a conditional use permit. Alternative 2 required a conditional use
permit; however, all STRs that were registered and paid taxes as of a certain
date would be grandfathered. Alternative 3 made STRs a permitted use and
established criteria they would have to meet.
Planning Commission recommended approval of an amended version of
Alternative 3 to City Council, titled "Planning Commission Version." An
amended version of Alternative 2 was also vote on at Planning Commission;
however, was voted for denial.
On March 6, 2018, City Council held a public hearing for STRs. On March 20,
2018 City Council voted to defer consideration of STRs. Since that meeting,
City Council has held several workshops with the goal of establishing an
ordinance to bring forward. At the workshop on April 17, 2018, it was discussed
that whatever new version City Council drafts, it should return to Planning
Commission for consideration.
At the request of Mayor Jones, staff has prepared a STR questionnaire to be
distributed to all Council members. The results of this questionnaire will assist
in determining which items there is consensus on, and which need more

consideration. It is the hope that this will lead to an ordinance that can be
considered by Planning Commission.
• Considerations:
This amendment would allow short term rentals as a permitted use. Regulations
would be established which would need to be adhered to. Further details pertaining
to the amendments, as well as Staffs evaluation are provided in the attached Staff

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTIONS 111, 401, 501, 601, 901, 1110, 1125,
1521 AND 2203 OF THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE AND SECTION 5.2 OF

SECTIONS 209.6 AND 241.2 OF THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE
PERTAINING TO DEFINITION, REQUIREMENTS AND USE OF ACCESSORY
USE - SHORT TERM RENTALS [ALTERNATIVE 3 - PLANNING COMMISSION
VERSION]
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2018
• Background:
Since 2016, the City of Virginia Beach has been working towards establishing
an Ordinance to address short-term rentals (rental of thirty days or less). Using
input and recommendations from the Beaches and Waterways Commission
regarding event homes, and from the On-Line Home Sharing Ad Hoc
Committee's recommendation to City Council, Staff drafted three ordinances.
On February 14, 2018 the Planning Commission considered these three short
term rental (STR) ordinances. Alternative 1 created a Short Term Rental
Overlay District. Within the overlay district, STRs were permitted, all other
areas involved a conditional use permit. Alternative 2 required a conditional use
permit; however, all STRs that were registered and paid taxes as of a certain
date would be grandfathered. Alternative 3 made STRs a permitted use and
established criteria they would have to meet.
Planning Commission recommended approval of an amended version of
Alternative 3 to City Council, titled "Planning Commission Version." An
amended version of Alternative 2 was also vote on at Planning Commission;
however, was voted for denial.
On March 6, 2018, City Council held a public hearing for STRs. On March 20,
2018 City Council voted to defer consideration of STRs. Since that meeting,
City Council has held several workshops with the goal of establishing an
ordinance to bring forward. At the workshop on April 17, 2018, it was discussed
that whatever new version City Council drafts, it should return to Planning
Commission for consideration.
At the request of Mayor Jones, staff has prepared a STR questionnaire to be
distributed to all Council members. The results of this questionnaire will assist
in determining which items there is consensus on, and which need more

consideration. It is the hope that this will lead to an ordinance that can be
considered by Planning Commission.
• Considerations:
This amendment would allow short term rentals as a permitted use. Regulations
would be established which would need to be adhered to. Planning Commission
considered this alternative and made several changes to the regulations proposed
in the version drafted by Staff. A new version of this alternative was substituted for
consideration. This alternative was supported by ten Planning Commissioners.
Several changes to the Staff drafted version were made and are listed below:
1. One parking space per bedroom and a parking plan submitted to be
approved by the Zoning Administrator, instead of a minimum of two off-
street parking spaces.
2. A summary of applicable City Codes must be posted, instead of the full text.
3. Two rental contracts per seven day period, instead of one.
4. $500,000 insurance required, instead of $1 million.
5. Occupancy of three persons per bedroom plus an additional two persons,
instead of two persons per bedroom plus an additional four.
6. Signs displaying house names are exempt from the signage requirements.
7. Information needs to be provided for a contact, instead of a contact being
able to be on site within 30 minutes.
8. No exit signs are required.
9. Inspections require a 24 hour notice, instead of being any reasonable time
following notice.
It is expected that City Council will defer this item.
• Recommendations:
City Staff deferred to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission passed
a motion to recommend approval of this request by a vote of 10-1.
• Attachment:
Ordinance
Recommended Action: Staff recommends deferral. Planning Commission
recommends Approval.

Mr. Thornton: Okay last item on the agenda today is item D5 and what we are going to
call D5 is the planning commission version which is what we brought out
of our meeting last Wednesday and it's essentially alternative three and we
have amended it and we didn't call it alternative three, we have called it a
planning commission version and this is up for discussion. We have gone
through at this morning and I think we made, did someone else want to
speak on this or you are all okay with me.
Unknown Person: I will make a motion.
Mr. Thornton: On item number 11, we have reduced the insurance to 500,000 dollars,
Mike gave us a reasonable explanation for that because he spoke to an
insurance professional and it's not practical for a people to buy million
dollar policies. Item number 13, we have taken out the emergency lights,
one of the things I am going to throw at his for discussion, a quick
discussion. I heard it from several people own the signs, item number 6 is
no signage, I would, may be like to consider something like architectural
house signs would be accepted because we heard today in testimony the
people has spent 100s of dollars for beautiful architectural signs and it
seems like we are talking about a real estate sign be in one square foot, but
[Inaudible] [04:22:59].

Unknown Speaker: So maybe advertising sign?
Mr. Thornton: Oh, I don't know when you go to Sandbridge and you go to [Inaudible]
[04:23:07] banks people buy these very expensive gold leaf painted signs,
it say?
Unknown Female Speaker: The decorative home sign.
Mr. Thornton: You know, Ron's palace or whatever you call it and I don't think we
[Inaudible] [04:23:17] they cannot put those on the one of their vacation
homes, so my thought was to add the word architectural house signs
accepted, if that's not, I don't know how else you would call it?
Unknown Person: How about architectural naming signs that way it would be the name of
the house and it wouldn't be something else, so architectural naming
signs?
Mr. Thornton: We are okay with that? We would amend number six accordingly and we
amend number 11 to 500, we strike number 13 and then let's see what else
we decided over this, on that maybe it. Did I miss anything? So what we
need is a motion to have a substitute alternative instead of voting on the
original alternative three, we need to have a substitute alternative three,
which is what we as a planning commission came forth with last
Wednesday. So may I have the David Weiner?
Mr. Weiner: I give it a shot. We approve item D5 with the substitute of the planning
commission substitute motion planning commission version with the
changes in item number six, signage to read architectural name signs, item
2
number II to say half million dollar liability insurance and to take out
item 13 completely.
Mr. Thornton: Do we have a second?
Mr. Redmond: Second.
Mr. Thornton: Mr. Redmond seconded the motion.
Kay Wilson: Mr. Weiner you wanted to exempt architectural naming signs correct?
Mr. Weiner: Not exempt to put [Crosstalk].
Kay Wilson: To exempt them from the one foot by one foot?
Mr. Weiner: Oh yeah, I am sorry, I am sorry. [Crosstalk]

Mr. Thornton: Okay, we have just one or two statements to make it with no other
business; we can call it a day. I want to thank before we get to gravel, I
would like to thank all of you all, this has been as Karen said, we have
lived with this, left with this, talked about it, dealt with it, dreamed about
it, had nightmares about it, since November and we have now come to the
conclusion that we send it forward to City Council and so we just asked
that you maintain your civic interest in it and go see City Council
sometime in March. If there is no more further business, meeting
adjourned.
