SECTION 1.1 - CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH LONG
TERM POLICY POSITIONS
�`�:„.„ , 6
1. VOTING RIGHTS
SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL&THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
Background Information:
The right to vote is a fundamental right of every citizen of our Commonwealth and nation, and it is the
foundation of our democracy. Barriers to the ballot box harm our state and our country and are inconsistent
with the ideals and principles upon which our great nation and our Commonwealth were founded.
Additionally, the drawing of electoral districts can promote or depress voter turnout, depending in part on
whether districts are drawn in order to respect the boundaries of localities,neighborhoods, and communities
of common interest or are drawn primarily for political advantage. Increased voter participation strengthens
our democracy and results in leaders who are responsive to the diverse needs of all of our citizens.
Request:
This was a part of your package last year and has been for several years through a joint initiative with the
Human Rights Commission. The Human Rights Commission has asked for redistricting reform and removal
of barriers to voter participation. Specifically, they are asking that the no excuse voting law passed in the
2019 session,be amended. That law would allow no excuse absentee voting beginning a week and a half on
Saturday before the election starting in 2020. The Human Rights Commission is requesting it to be expanded
to no excuse, in person, absentee ballot voting for the entire 45 days open for voting before the election. The
General Assembly passed a first phase of amending the Constitution to create a non-partisan Redistricting
Commission. The Human Rights Commission requests the General Assembly pass that same legislation
during the 2020 session. The issue would then be put before the voters in the 2020 election. Assuming that
those two actions are successful,when the General Assembly does redistricting of Congress and the Virginia
House and Senate in 2021,the Redistricting Commission would begin the process.

2. SOLUTION TO COASTAL FLOODING, REGIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INITIATIVE
SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL&THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
Background Information:
The Hampton Roads Region(along with New Orleans)is the most at risk for coastal flooding and Sea Level
Rise in the country. Recurrent Flooding and Sea level rise is a reality, as can be evidenced by tide gauges
kept by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and others since the early 1900's. Sea Level Rise
is real, and much of Virginia Beach is low and drains poorly. Storms that were small nuisances just 10-15
years ago, now cause major destruction of roadways and damage homes.
The City Council has embarked on a strategy of studying the various watersheds within the City, which will
in the end provide plans on how to address Recurrent Flooding and Sea Level Rise. The other localities in
the region are doing similar efforts. This is a regional effort,which will take actions by the state, federal, and
local government. It will also be a very expensive endeavor.
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative as it currently exist in states from Maryland and northward, allows
carbon allowances to be purchased for every ton of CO2 emitted. Companies decide how to stay below a cap
that is set through the region, and these allowances are sold at quarterly auctions. The proceeds are then
returned to the state for reinvestment. It's projected that roughly$250M per year in auction revenues through
2030 could be provided to Virginia.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to adopt legislation.That would allow Virginia to join with the Northeast
RGGI. This would allow us to manage cuts in carbon emission, while at the same time providing revenue to
address Sea level Rise and Recurrent Flooding. Currently the nine RGGI states represent 25% of the U.S.
population. They have had $1.3B in net positive economic impact, from 2012-2014 in RGGI states have cut
pollution three times faster than non-RGGI states, and have had comparable bills for power to other areas.

3. HIGH SPEED RAIL
SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL
Background Information:
The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) is in the process of identifying funding
sources to initiate a Tier II Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)within the next six years for the Richmond-
Hampton Roads segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR)corridor. Approximately$27 million is
needed to complete Tier II EIS.Two years ago we were successful in getting the General Assembly to require
DRPT to update the costs of the Tier II EIS and also identify funding sources. Their report recommended
that the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization fund the Tier II EIS. The $27 million will
suffice. HRTPO has fully allocated its RSTP and CMAQ monies for the next 6 years, and Richmond region,
did not contribute any regional funds to either of their Tier II EIS efforts which are complete.
Request:
We request the Commonwealth fund a Tier II Environmental Impact Statement for High(ER) Speed Rail
between Richmond and Hampton Roads.

4. MENHADEN FISHING REGULATION
SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL
Background Information:
A small fish- Menhaden- is often referred to as "the most important fish in the sea". Because it is close to the
bottom of the food chain, the populations of many species rely on the Menhaden as a source of food. These
include important commercial fisheries and tourism such as: blue crab, rock fish, speckled trout, mackerel,
flounder, tuna, and shark. Over fishing of Menhaden affects those populations, and hurts many people's
income that rely on the sale of seafood to make a living. Tourism also suffers if the top of the food chain
species go elsewhere in search of food.
The importance of Menhaden is not solely founded on the population of other species. Menhaden also provide
a service in filtering the Bay water, second only in importance to the oyster. As they filter the Bay they return
much needed oxygen to the waters for life to flourish.
The Chesapeake Bay and the near shore Atlantic Ocean waters of Virginia Beach are commonly referred to
as the "Menhaden Nursery". Maturation of the Menhaden primarily happens in the Bay which provides the
Atlantic Coast with these important fish. Keeping the Menhaden population flourishing is not only healthy
for the bay and for the entire Atlantic coast,but for the businesses that are such a part of the economic engines
known as tourism and commercial fishing.
Menhaden fishing is currently regulated by the General Assembly. Although the General Assembly's
knowledge of many issues is both wide and deep, regulation of fisheries is best left to those more
knowledgeable of the science. Menhaden is also a multi-state resource that needs to be looked at as a whole,
rather than the needs of few. The General Assembly has removed itself from the regulation of most other fish
& game species, and the regulation of Menhaden needs to be placed with the Virginia Marine Resources
Commission where the technology and science exist to best manage it. Also, the current regulation of
Menhaden does not require those fishing for this species to operate at a reasonable distance from shore either
on the Bay or the Ocean. Breakage in nets leads to regular pollution of the Bay and Atlantic Ocean beaches
with deposits of dead fish.
Request:
The City of Virginia Beach requests the General Assembly to adopt Legislation introduced during the 2018
legislative session similar to HB-822 or HB-160 introduced by Delegate Barry Knight,and SB-98 introduced
by Senator John Cosgrove. This would require the Virginia Marine Resource Commission to adopt
regulations to implement the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Atlantic Menhaden. It would also
require any moratorium on the fishery to be subject to legislative review. Additionally, as was proposed in
SB-214 by Senator Cosgrove, in the 2018 Legislative Session, fishing for Menhaden with purse nets in the
Chesapeake Bay would be prohibited within one mile and within three miles of the shore lines of Virginia
Beach extending from the North Carolina border and one mile in the Chesapeake Bay. This common sense
legislation would allow this very important resource to be managed for the overall health of the Bay, the
Atlantic Ocean, and Virginia's economy based on science and facts.

5. CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC NEED
SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL
Background Information:
The Certificate of Public Need (COPN) has been used for many years to manage expensive healthcare
delivery facilities in the Commonwealth. This means that when hospitals wish to expand adding new beds or
equipment they must go to a state body to receive permission to do so. The Certificate of Public Need is seen
as a way to reduce duplication of expensive services and facilities, and also to make sure that facilities
constructed are not just those that profit the hospitals and other individuals the most. The COPN is seen as a
way to reduce healthcare costs and make services available as widely as possible. However, many in the
medical services delivery field see the COPN as an unwarranted intrusion into the free market. During the
2016 session of the General Assembly, multiple bills were introduced to either outright repeal or other
adjustments/modifications to the existing law. Delegate Chris Stolle, of Virginia Beach, who is not only a
medical doctor but a Hospital Administrator, introduced House Bill-1083. HB-1083 would have modified
the COPN while maintaining the bedrock of the process. Delegate Stolle's bill was defeated; however, other
legislation is being studied over the period between the 2016 session and the 2019 session. There will most
assuredly be legislation introduced in the 2019 session that again ranges from outright repeal to modifications
as needed.
Request:
The City of Virginia Beach requests the General Assembly retain COPN in its current form with process
reforms similar to those recommended by Delegate Chris Stolle (HB 1083) in the 2016 session. This
legislation addresses concerns surrounding the COPN process while maintaining the integrity of the program.
Additionally, any legislation to deregulate COPN must be coupled with polices to promote access to care,
ensure provision of essential health services, fund graduate medical education, and maintain the fiscal
stability of Virginia's community.

6. EXPANSION OF THE VIRGINIA HUMAN RIGHTS ACT
SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL&THE VIRGINIA BEACH HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
Background Information:
The Virginia Human Rights Act (Va. Code § 2.2-3900 et seq.) currently prohibits discrimination based on
race, color, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, age, marital
status, or disability. The City of Virginia Beach has prohibited the aforementioned since 1994.
Request:
The City of Virginia Beach requests the General Assembly amend the Virginia Human Rights Act to also
prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in hiring and in housing as was
proposed in legislation from Kelly K. Convirs-Fowler in the 2019 Session.

7. FULL FUNDING FOR THE STEP-VA PROGRAM
SPONSORED BY THE VIRGINIA BEACH HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION&CITY COUNCIL
Background Information:
Almost 20%of adults in the Commonwealth have some kind of mental illness according to the Mental Health
America 2019 Prevalence Report. Virginia is ranked 40th in the nation for mental health service and 40th
among all states in access to care. The suicide rate is rising each year. More than 17% of inmates in the jail
population have a mental illness with this number also rising each year. The need for a comprehensive,
effective and accessible system of mental health services is quite clear.
Without adequate treatment and support available in the community, many individuals living with mental
illness struggle to remain safely in their own homes and communities. Some of the outcomes of an inadequate
public mental health system include: frequent trips to hospital emergency rooms, homelessness, substance
use disorders, suicide and incarceration among individuals with mental illness.
STEP VA (System Transformation, Excellence and Performance in Virginia) was developed to address
quality, access, accountability and consistency across all Community Services Boards (CSB). In 2015,
DBHDS received a federal planning grant to lay the foundation for a behavioral health system that would be
standardized in the provision of nine core services:
• Same-day access
• Primary care screenings
• Outpatient behavioral services
• Behavioral health crisis services
• Peer/family support services
• Psychiatric rehabilitation
• Veterans' behavioral health
• Case management for adults and children
• Care coordination
The 2017 General Assembly amended the code to implement the STEP VA System of nine services by 2021
with two of those services, Same Day Access and Primary Care Screening being implemented by 2019.
As of 2019: Same Day Access and Primary Care Screening have been fully funded and are being
implemented. Outpatient Services ($15M) and Crisis Services ($7.8M) have been partially funded. Full
funding is still needed for the seven other services to be implemented by 2021 as mandated in the 2017
General Assembly session.
Request:
The City requests that the General Assembly provide full funding for the implementation of STEP VA
System throughout the Commonwealth to ensure all nine Core Services are implemented by 2021.

8. COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA COMMUNICATIONS TAX UPDATE
SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL
Background Information:
In 2006, the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation to replace state and local taxes and fees on
communication services with one statewide Virginia Communications Sales and Use Tax. This statewide tax
imposed a 5% fee, which is collected from consumers by service providers and remitted to the state on a
monthly basis. After collection by the state, the tax is then distributed to individual localities. Revenues from
the Sales and Use Tax are in long-term decline. For example, Virginia Beach now brings in $6 million less
per year than when the tax first went into effect over a decade ago. This $6 million decline is equal to a 20%
loss in revenue over this period. As technology progresses,this revenue gap will only grow wider. The chart
below shows actual revenues received by the City over the past decade. In total, the City averaged a 2.2%
per year reduction in Virginia Telecom Tax Revenue between Fiscal Year 2007-08 and Fiscal Year 2017-18.
Virginia Telecom Tax: FY 08-FY18

■Actual
Consistent with these declines, the City has lowered, by a combined $1.5 million in Fiscal Years 2019 and
2020, its budgeted projections for Telecom Tax revenue. Should the present tax structure continue as is, the
City will likely see a decline in this revenue source in Fiscal Year 2021 that would bring the total amount of
revenue received by the City to under$23 million.

Historic Average)

REQUEST: The General Assembly is requested to restore funding to localities consistent with amounts
received at the time of the formula's adoption in 2006.

Background Information:
In Virginia, public safety benefit programs have historically been designed specifically for firefighters and
police officers. Most municipal EMS providers were either cross-trained as firefighters, volunteers or
civilians. There was little attention given to governmental EMS workers. Virginia Beach has the largest
with its cadre of medics within the Department of EMS. We currently have 65 officers or medics who are
considered full time salary Emergency Medical Technicians for purposes of benefit calculations. However,
those workers are not given the same protections of heart disease presumption that Fire and Police have.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to modify Code of Virginia Title 65.2, Workers' Compensation, Chapter
3: Occupational Diseases §65.2-402(B) as follows:
B. Hypertension or heart disease causing the death of or any health condition or impairment resulting in
total or partial disability of(i) salaried or volunteer firefighters, (ii) members of the State Police Officers'
Retirement System, (iii) members of county, city or town police departments, (iv)sheriffs and deputy sheriffs,
(v) Department of Emergency Management hazardous materials officers, (vi) city sergeants or deputy city
sergeants of the City of Richmond, (viz) Virginia Marine Police officers, (viii) conservation police officers
who are full-time sworn members of the enforcement division of the Department of Game and Inland
Fisheries, (ix) Capitol Police officers, (x)special agents of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority
appointed under the provisions of Chapter 1 (, 4.1-100 et seq) of Title 4.1, (xi)for such period that the
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority voluntarily subjects itself to the provisions of this chapter as
provided in 065.2-305, officers of the police force established and maintained by the Metropolitan
Washington Airports Authority, (xii) officers of the police force established and maintained by the Norfolk
Airport Authority, (xiii) sworn officers of the police force established and maintained by the Virginia Port
Authority, av (xiv) campus police officers appointed under Article 3 ('23.1-1-809 et seq.)and(xv)full-time
salaried Emergency Medical Technicians employed by the City of Virginia Beach. Of Chapter 8 of Title 23.1
and employed by any public institution of higher education shall be presumed to be occupational diseases,
suffered in the line of duty, that are covered by this title unless such presumption is overcome by a
preponderance of competent evidence to the contrary.

10. EQUALIZE "HOUSE BILL 599" FUNDING
SPONSORED BY VICE-MAYOR JIM WOOD
Background Information:
In 1979, the Commonwealth of Virginia agreed to contribute funds to any locality in the Commonwealth
with a police department. This was done through House Bill 599, codified in the Code of Virginia as §9.1-
165 through 172. The intent of this legislation was to help equalize state funding between jurisdictions with
police departments and those with Sheriff's Offices. At the time of adoption, it was conveyed that the
Commonwealth would grant localities with police departments a sum equal to 30% of their department's
costs.
In the case of Virginia Beach, neither goal has been meet. In Fiscal Year 2019, 599 allocations were roughly
60% of the amount the City received for the Sheriff's Office from the Commonwealth. As for the Police
Department's total operating budget, the amount from the Commonwealth was equal to only about 10% of
City's appropriations for the VBPD.
The same disparity has been true for the Commonwealth at-large. Whereas general fund appropriations for
Sheriff's Office (not including local jail per diem) are approaching $500 million, 599 funding for Police
Departments is under$200 million. Further, the amount of 599 funding in FY 2020 is less than what existed
in FY 2009 and other prior years.
In addition, in code, the amount of funds distributed each year should be adjusted by a sum equal to the
anticipated general fund revenue change in any given year. However, this requirement is one to which the
state has not continually adhered; there is presently a $139 million gap between approved HB 599 funding
and the amount that would have occurred from calculating 599 funding based upon anticipated state revenue
growth every year since FY 2000. For example, while the official state General Fund growth forecast called
for 3.4%growth between FY 2017 and FY 2018, 599 funding remained flat during the FY 2018 budget year.
Similarly, while the official state General Fund growth forecast estimated 5.9% growth between FY 2018
and FY 2019, 599 funding allocations only increased 3.70% in FY 2019. For FY 2020, the state pre-
programmed an increase in 599 funding at 3.90%, but did not adjust the amount in conjunction with the
state's growth revenue.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to increase funding to provide better parity between the appropriations
for Sheriff's Offices and for Police Departments. Specifically, 599 funding is requested to increase in FY
2021 state budget to a baseline that is equal to the amount of actual revenue growth between FY 2018 and
FY 2019,and then that sum should be increased by the official forecast growth figures for FY 2020 and 2021.

11. RESIGN TO RUN FOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL OTHER THAN MAYOR
SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHN MOSS
Background Information:
In 1987, the General Assembly added Section 3.02:2 to the City Charter. Section 3.02:2 provides a"resign
to run"requirement of any member of the City Council who wishes to be a candidate for the office of mayor.
In pertinent part, this requirement requires a sitting Councilmember to irrevocably resign his or her council
seat as a condition to becoming a candidate for mayor. That resignation would be effective December 31 of
the applicable year.
This legislative request would impose a similar requirement if an at large Councilmember seeks to become a
candidate for a residence district seat or if a resident district member seeks to become an at-large candidate.
Request:
The City Council requests the General Assembly enact an amendment to the City Charter that inserts the
following text as new Section 3.02:3:
A. In the event any councilmember from one of the residence districts shall decide during his term of
office to be a candidate for an at-large seat, the councilmember shall tender his resignation as a
councilmember not less than ten days prior to the date for the filing of petitions as required by
general law. Such resignation shall be effective on December 31, shall constitute the
councilmember's intention to run for the at-large seat, shall require no formal acceptance by the
remaining councilmembers, and shall be final and irrevocable when tendered.
The unexpired portion of the term of any councilmember who has resigned to run for an at-large
seat shall be filled at the same general election, or special election if the at-large seat is to be filled
by special election.
B. In the event any councilmember from one of the at-large seats shall decide during his term of office
to be a candidate for a residence district seat, the councilmember shall tender his resignation as a
councilmember not less than ten days prior to the date for the filing of petitions as required by
general law. Such resignation shall be effective on December 31, shall constitute the
councilmember's intention to run for the residence district seat, shall require no formal acceptance
by the remaining councilmembers, and shall be final an irrevocable when tendered.
The unexpired portion of the term of any councilmember who has resigned to run for a residence
district seat shall be filled at the same general election, or special election if the residence district
seat is to be filled by special election.

12. PAYMENTS TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION FOR CERTAIN COURSES TAKEN
BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS §23.1-602
SPONSORED BY VICE-MAYOR JIM WOOD
Background Information:
In 1966,the General Assembly passed §23.1-602,which provides college tuition,including the cost of books
and fees,paid for by the State, to any law enforcement officer working within the Commonwealth. Officers
would be required to pursue a degree or certificate in a course of study relating to the field of law enforcement,
and must attend an accredited institution of higher education within the Commonwealth. In return, officers
would be required to remain employed in a law enforcement capacity for a period of at least as long as the
length of the course of study taken, or repay the full amount of such tuition.
This law has remained, unfunded, in the Code of Virginia since its creation.
Our citizens deserve a highly professional, knowledgeable, and educated police force that enforces the law
and investigates crime in a judicious and equitable manner. Training and education are crucial for the future
success of our officers and our department. In today's policing environment, officers go above and beyond
answering calls for help. They are leaders, problem solvers, counselors, and role models who are equipped
with 21 st century skills that far surpass traditional police academy training. In short, the profession has
evolved.
The benefits of higher education reach beyond the impact it has on individual officers. A well-educated
police force positively influences the future of our organization and our community. Continuous learning
and self-improvement become engrained in all ranks, from officer to command staff, and within our culture.
For these reasons and more,restoring funding for this statute is a worthy investment for both our officers and
the citizens we serve.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to consider funding this statute, for a trial period,to determine state-wide
interest and administrative workload for the Department of Criminal Justice Services (program
administrators). This pilot program would provide access to limited financial resources for specific localities
within the Commonwealth,to include the City of Virginia Beach. We propose modifying the existing statute
to reimburse tuition for attendance at an accredited in-state university or community college, up to the two-
year associate's degree level. All other provisions of the existing statute shall remain unchanged. Upon
completion of the pilot program, an evaluation will be conducted to determine program expansion and state-
wide fiscal impact.

13. FILM TAX CREDIT
SPONSORED BY CITY COUNCIL
Background Information:
The Commonwealth of Virginia has a rather small program to promote film and other media production
within the Commonwealth. Other states, most notably Georgia and North Carolina, have a very robust
program which has created a considerable industry in those states. In order for Virginia to compete in this
arena, the Commonwealth needs to provide additional incentives through tax credits and other means. This
is an ideal time for Virginia to expand their incentives for this industry in as much as North Carolina and
Georgia because of actions of their respective General Assemblies have created an environment that is
unwelcoming to the industry.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to establish a new media and technology income tax credit as was
envisioned by HB2163 of the 2019 session of the General Assembly, sponsored by Delegate Glenn Davis.
This credit would equal 15%of expenses or 20%for productions in economically distressed areas in Virginia.
Expenses eligible for the tax credit include purchases that were exempt from sales tax unless 6 purchases
were made at least 1 year prior to such tax payer entering into an agreement with the Virginia Film Office.
Productions may receive additional credits of up to 20% of production costs over $250K and compensation
payed to Virginia residents who are first time actors or production crew members. The bill further provides
that credits may be carried over to subsequent tax years for up to 10 years and transferred to another party
upon payment to the department of a fee of 2%.

14. DEFINITION OF SMALL BUSINESS
SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBERS SABRINA WOOTEN&ROSEMARY WILSON
Background Information:
Currently there are multiple definitions for small businesses in the code of Virginia. The one that is utilized
most predominantly is in the Virginia Public Procurement Act. This states that a small business means a
business independently owned and controlled by one or more individuals who are US citizens or legal
resident aliens and together with affiliates has 250 or fewer employees or annual gross receipts of$10 million
or less averaged over the previous three years.
Under this current definition a "small business could have 250 employees and greater than annual gross
revenues of$10 million". This means that a certified small business could have unlimited annual revenue
and receive the benefits of being a small business under the code.
Request:
The General Assembly is requested to amend the code of Virginia section 2.2 —4310 to substitute the word
"and" for"or" in the definition of a small business. This would mean that a small business would be defined
as having 250 or fewer employees and annual gross receipts of$10 million or less averaged over the previous
three years .This is thought to provide a truer definition of a small business in Virginia than the current code.

15. REQUEST TO AMEND 2019 ACTS OF ASSEMBLY, C. 793 TO ALLOW CDA
FINANCING AND TO EXTEND THE DATE OF TAX INCENTIVE
SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER JOHN MOSS
Background Information:
In January, the City Council authorized the execution of a Term Sheet for the development of definitive
project documents for the Dome Site Project (the "Project"). The Project was subsequently rebranded as
Atlantic Park. Separately, the 2019 General Assembly, through the work of Delegate Knight and Senator
Wagner, enacted Chapter 793. This legislation provides a mechanism for the capture of sales and use taxes
for a "sports and entertainment district." The defined district is in the same area as Atlantic Park. The City
believes the revenues from Chapter 793 will be an important part of the City's financing of its obligations
related to the Project.
Two issues have emerged that may require the General Assembly to amend Chapter 793. First, there is
discussion of the use of a Community Development Authority ("CDA") to assist in the financing of certain
improvements that are part of the Project. The CDA tool allows for the imposition of additional levies and
special assessments at the Project, which allows the beneficiaries of the increased costs of infrastructure to
participate more directly in paying for such improvements. Second, because of the time needed to finish the
pre-development work and construction of the Project, the outside dates prescribed in Chapter 793 may not
be sufficient to provide the assistance originally intended.As such,this request seeks to offer additional years
that will provide for the incentive to align with the duration of the City's obligations.
Request:
The City Council requests the General Assembly amend Chapter 793 of 2019 Acts of Assembly as follows:
• Amend the second sentence of§ 15.2-5931(A) to read as follows: "As used in this chapter, "bonds"
includes notes of any kind, interim certificates, refunding bonds, or any other evidence of obligation
issued by the City of Virginia Beach, the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority, or a
community development authority formed by the City pursuant to sections 15.2-5152 through 15.2-
5159 and within the Sports and entertainment district."
• Amend § 15.2-5932(C) to allow the use of the Fund to pay for expenses or debt service associated
with a community development authority at the sports or entertainment district.
• Amend § 15.2-5933(A)(2) to change the date from "July 1, 2039" to "July 1 following the 20th
anniversary of the completion of construction of the Sports and entertainment project."

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance declaring the property located at 2224 London Street (GPIN 2407-
02-6550) to be in excess of the City's needs and authorizing the City Manager to
sell the property to Jose J. and Paige Medrano
PUBLIC HEARING DATE: October 1, 2019
MEETING DATE: October 15, 2019
• Background:
As part of the APZ-1 Use and Acquisition Plan adopted December 20, 2005, the
City of Virginia Beach acquired 2224 London Street, containing approximately
15,017 sq. ft. (the "Property") on March 26, 2013 for $187,000. At the time of
acquisition, the Property was improved with a residential dwelling that has been
demolished.
Jose J. and Paige Medrano (the "Medranos"), own the adjacent property at 2232
London Street, which is developed with their residence. The Medranos previously
purchased 2228 London Street from the City and incorporated it into their
residence. The Medranos propose to purchase the Property for $15,017 ($1/sq.
ft.) and resubdivide the two properties into one residential lot at the City's
expense.
• Considerations:
The Property will be sold with a deed restriction that prevents any new dwelling
units from being constructed. The APZ-1 Disposition Committee reviewed the
Property and determined that it should be sold to the adjoining property owner.
The sale would enhance the neighborhood and reduce density. The Medranos
are required to incorporate the Property into their lot as part of the disposition
process.
The Medranos offer of $1/sq. ft. is in compliance with previous excess City
properties sold in the APZ-1 area that were not building sites.
If the City retains the Property, the City must pay to maintain the lot, an estimated
annual cost of $630.
• Public Information:
Advertisement for public hearing as required by Section 15.2-1800 Code of
Virginia and public notice via the normal City Council agenda process. The
public hearing will be held on October 1 , 2019.
• Alternatives:
Retain ownership of the Property.
• Recommendations:
Approval.
• Revenue restrictions: The City funded the acquisition of the Property through
the partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia. The proceeds from the sale
of the Property in the amount of $15,017 will be received and fifty percent (50%)
of the amount will be deposited for appropriation in future Capital Improvement
Program capital budgets in Capital Improvement Project 9-059, Oceana
Interfacility Traffic Area Conformity and Acquisition II, and fifty percent (50%) will
be deposited for future payment by the City Manager to refund the
Commonwealth of Virginia's portion in accordance with the grant agreement.

region together in supporting and celebrating local-independent businesses and the
impact they have on the region's culture, economy and character; and
WHEREAS, by "Buying Local," Hampton Roads' residents embrace this unique, vibrant
community and recognize that it's the one-of- a-kind businesses that keep us from
becoming "Anywhere, USA" and encourage a strong sense of pride in place; and
WHEREAS, by "Buying Local," Hampton Roads' residents create prosperity for all. The
"multiplier effect" of locals choosing locals creates diverse job opportunities, protecting
us from the effects of economic downturns; and
WHEREAS, by "Buying Local," Hampton Roads' residents help to improve and protect
the environment. The purchasing habits, central location and smaller footprint of local
businesses often results in less pollution and congestion; and
WHEREAS, by `Buying Local," Hampton Roads' residents keep money circulation in the
local economy. For every $100 spent at a local-independent business, $45 goes back into
the community,versus only $14 when spent at a national chain store; and
WHEREAS, by "Buying Local," Hampton Roads' residents support a healthy and happy
community. Studies show that those who live in communities where local-independent
businesses are the norm are healthier — and thus happier; and
WHEREAS, by acknowledging November 15 through December 15, 2019 as Buy Local
Month, the Hampton Roads Panning District Commission supports our local businesses
that create jobs,boost our local economy and preserve our neighborhoods.

developed these Guidelines and Standards of Operation with the welfare and safety of the
horse, the passengers, the operators and the general public in mind. They have also been
developed to allow the carriage operator enough latitude to run a quality operation
of which the city or town where the operator works can be proud.

a portion of(a) the cost of acquiring, constructing, renovating, rehabilitating and equipping an
existing affordable, senior-designated multifamily residential rental housing project consisting of
one three-story building of approximately 190,000 gross square feet containing approximately 186
units to be known as The Commons at Princess Anne and including a community room, a library
and surface parking facilities (the "Project") located at 4924 Princess Anne Road in the City of
Virginia Beach, Virginia (the "City") and expected to be owned and used by the Borrower or a
party related to the Borrower, (b) the funding of reserve funds as permitted by applicable law and

Finance") as permitted under the Act; and
WHEREAS, the Project shall be established and maintained as a "qualified residential

amended (the "U.S. Code"); and
WHEREAS, preliminary plans for the Plan of Finance have been described to the
Authority and a public hearing (the"Public Hearing") has been held on September 17, 2019 with
respect to the Plan of Finance and the Bonds in accordance with Section 147(f) of the U.S. Code
and Section 15.2-4906 of the Virginia Code; and
WHEREAS, no Commissioner of the Authority is an officer or employee of the City,

the time of their appointments and at all times thereafter, including the date hereof, all of the
Commissioners of the Authority have satisfied the residency requirements of the Act; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY THAT:
1. The foregoing recitals are approved by the Authority and are incorporated in, and
deemed a part of, this resolution.
2. It is hereby found and determined that the Plan of Finance will promote the
commerce, safety,health, welfare, convenience or prosperity of the Commonwealth, the City and
their citizens and will further the public purposes of the Act by assisting in providing housing to
low and moderate income persons in the City.
3. To induce the Borrower to undertake the Plan of Finance and maintain the Project
as a "qualified residential rental project" within the meaning of Section 142(d) of the U.S. Code,
the Authority hereby agrees, subject to approvals required by applicable law,to assist the Borrower
in financing the Plan of Finance by undertaking the issuance of(and hereby declares its official
intent to issue)its multifamily housing revenue bonds therefor in an aggregate maximum principal
stated amount of$22,000,000 upon the terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon between
the Authority and the Borrower. The Bonds shall be issued in form and pursuant to terms to be
set by the Authority. The Bonds may be issued in one or more series at one time or from time to
time, and the Bonds of any such series may be either taxable or tax-exempt for purposes of federal
income taxation.
4. It having been represented to the Authority that it is necessary to proceed
immediately with the Plan of Finance, and the planning therefor, the Authority hereby agrees that
the Borrower may proceed with the Plan of Finance and take such other steps as it may deem
appropriate in connection with the Plan of Finance, provided, however, that nothing in this
resolution shall be deemed to authorize the Borrower to obligate the Authority without the
Authority's consent in each instance to the payment of any moneys or the performance of any acts
in connection with the Plan of Finance. This resolution is a Declaration of Official Intent under
U.S. Treasury Regulations for purposes of Sections 103 and 141 to 150 of the U.S. Code. Based
upon the representations of the Borrower, the Authority reasonably expects that certain costs of
the Project may be reimbursed with the proceeds of the Bonds.

LLP, Tysons, Virginia,to serve as bond counsel ("Bond Counsel") and hereby appoints such firm
to supervise the proceedings and approve the issuance of the Bonds.

Borrower with respect to the appointment of a placement agent or underwriter for the sale of the
Bonds pursuant to the terms to be mutually agreed upon.
7. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Authority, its officers,
commissioners, employees and agents from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties,losses, costs and expenses in any way connected with the issuance and sale of
the Bonds.
2
8. All costs and expenses in connection with the financing and the Plan of Finance,
including the fees and expenses of the Authority (including, without limitation, any application
fee and/or origination fee), Bond Counsel, counsel for the Authority and any placement agent or
underwriter for the sale of the Bonds shall be paid from the proceeds of the Bonds(but only to the
extent permitted by applicable law) or by the Borrower. If for any reason such Bonds are not
issued, it is understood that all such expenses shall be paid by the Borrower and that the Authority
shall have no responsibility therefor.
9. The Bonds shall be limited obligations of the Authority. Neither the
commissioners, officers, agents or employees of the Authority, past, present and future, nor any
person executing the Bonds, shall be liable personally on the Bonds by reason of the issuance
thereof. The Bonds will not constitute a debt or pledge of the faith and credit of the
Commonwealth or any political subdivision thereof, including the Authority and the City, and
neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the Commonwealth or any political subdivision
thereof, including the Authority and the City, will be pledged to the payment of the Bonds.
10. The Authority (including its officers, commissioners, employees and agents) shall
not be liable and hereby disclaims all liability to the Borrower and all other persons or entities for
any damages, direct or consequential, resulting from the issuance of the Bonds or failure of the
Authority to issue the Bonds for any reason. Any obligation of the Authority to exercise its powers
in the City to issue the Bonds as requested by the Borrower is contingent upon the satisfaction of
all legal requirements and the Authority shall not be liable and hereby disclaims all liability to the
Borrower for any damages, direct or consequential, resulting from the Authority's failure to issue
Bonds for the Plan of Finance for any reason, including but not limited to, the failure of the City
Council of the City (the "City Council")to approve the issuance of the Bonds.
11. The Authority recommends that the City Council approve the issuance of the
Bonds, in one or more series at one time or from time to time, in an aggregate maximum stated
principal amount of$22,000,000 for the purpose of undertaking the Plan of Finance as required
by Section 147(f) of the U.S. Code.

the designee of any of them, is hereby authorized to request an allocation or allocations of the State
Ceiling (as defined in Section 15.2-5000 of the Virginia Code) in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Virginia Code and any regulations or executive orders issued thereunder. All
costs incurred by the Authority, if any, in connection with such proceeding shall be paid for by the
Borrower.
14. All other acts of the officers of the Authority that are in conformity with the
purposes and intent of this resolution and in furtherance of the issuance and sale of the Bonds and
the undertaking of the Plan of Finance are hereby ratified, approved and confirmed.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to authorize Temporary Encroachments into portions of City
property known as Lake Joyce and the 25' strip of land around Lake Joyce
located at the rear of 4321 Blackbeard Road
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background:
Trevor J. Prouty and Brooke E. Prouty (the "Applicants") have requested
permission to remove the existing pier and to construct and maintain proposed

bulkhead and fencing (the "Encroachments") adjacent to their property located at
4321 Blackbeard Road.
The Encroachments are shown on Exhibit A attached to the Ordinance and
would extend approximately 14' into Lake Joyce and approximately 8' into the 25'
strip of land around Lake Joyce. The new rip rap around Lake Joyce would be a
distance of approximately 1,715 linear feet. There are similar encroachments in
Lake Joyce, which is where the Applicants have requested to encroach.
During review of this encroachment application, a shed was identified in the rear
yard setback. The shed has been reported to Zoning Enforcement for resolution.
• Considerations:
City Staff has reviewed the requested encroachments and has recommended
approval of same, subject to certain conditions outlined in the Agreement. In
regard to the shed discussed above, the Agreement provides that the permission
granted herein does not extend to any accessory structures shown on the
Agreement's exhibit. Also, the Agreement provides that the owner would need to
procure any other permits required by law.
• Public Information: Public notice will be provided via the normal City Council
agenda process.
• Alternatives: Approve the Encroachments as presented, deny the

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate Fund Balance from the Police Federal & State
Seized Assets Special Revenue Fund for Police Equipment and Confidential
Informant Payments
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background: The Virginia Beach Police Department requests the use of
$139,000 in fund balance from the Police Federal & State Seized Assets Special
Revenue Fund to purchase the following items that have not been funded through the
Virginia Beach Police Department's FY 2019-2020 Operating Budget:
• Confidential informant awards - $10,000;
• Four canines - $40,000;
• Rifle mounted lasers and light replacements - $55,000;
• Replacement of rifles - $30,000;
• Tactical training - $4,000.
The confidential fund is needed to pay informants for tips regarding drug dealers,
distributors, or other illegal activities. One bomb canine will be added to increase the K-
9 Unit's capabilities, and three canines will serve as replacements for existing animals.
The replacement lasers, lights, and rifles will replace equipment used by the SWAT
Team that has reached the end of its lifespan. The training course will allow two
additional SWAT Team members to receive tactical training beyond the number that
could otherwise attend based on the City funds provided to the Police Department in
this fiscal year.
• Considerations: According to the United States Department of Justice, seized
asset funds are to be used to provide law enforcement agencies monetary resources to
assist in accomplishing their mission, but cannot be used to supplant local funding.
Rather, seized asset resources must be above and beyond City funding. There is
sufficient fund balance in the Police Federal & State Seized Assets Special Revenue
Fund to cover the amount requested in this action. The fund balance in this fund as of
September 2019 is $595,730. Should this ordinance be adopted, the fund balance
remaining would be $456,730.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Grant Funds and to Transfer Funds
within the FY 2019-20 Police Department Operating Budget for Marine Patrol
Equipment
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, has awarded the Virginia Beach Police Department $77,750 in
federal funding under the federal FY 2019 Port Security Grant Program. The purpose of
the grant is to enhance port safety and security. To be eligible for this funding, agencies
must be members of an Area Maritime Security Committee and be required to provide
port security services. The Police Department is the primary responder for the Port of
Hampton Roads and is the only local agency in the Hampton Roads region to patrol the
waters of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay. This grant will provide the
City's Marine Patrol Unit the ability to purchase personal flotation equipment, two
Forward Looking Infrared Radar imaging systems, and upgrade the electronics package
on existing Marine Patrol vessels. The total cost of these projects is $103,667.
• Considerations: The Port Security grant provides the City $77,750 in federal
funding. It requires a local match of $25,917 match (25% of the total project cost). The
local match will be met through existing resources from the Police Department's present
FY 2019-20 Operating Budget.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funds for Primary Care Screenings and
to Authorize One Full-Time Position and Convert a Part-Time Position to Full-Time
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background: In 2015, the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and
Developmental Services (DBHDS) began a comprehensive study of the public behavioral
health service delivery system across Virginia. The intent of this study was to ensure that
all Virginians had timely access to health services and to reduce variation in services that
were provided at different Community Service Boards within the Commonwealth. The
study's findings resulted in the development of the System Transformation, Excellence
and Performance in Virginia (STEP-VA) initiative, which was authorized by the General
Assembly in 2017. The STEP-VA plan outlines nine services to be implemented by all
Community Services Boards on a timeline that extends into calendar year 2021. In FY
2019, DBHDS provided the City of Virginia Beach with $98,619 to begin the
implementation of step two, Primary Care Screenings. This step is designed to ensure
that people who are at risk for physical health issues can obtain primary care screenings
and referrals.
• Considerations: The 2019 General Assembly provided $7.44 million from the
Commonwealth's General Fund specifically earmarked for primary care outpatient
screenings in FY 2020. This was an increase, and as a result, DBHDS was able to
increase the City's FY 2020 Primary Care funding by$98,619 to continue implementation
of this critical program. With the additional funding, the total amount now due to be
received by the City from the Commonwealth for Primary Care Screenings is $197,238.
This program is currently staffed with one full-time Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and
one part-time Administrative Technician. The increase in funding will be used to add
another full-time LPN and convert the part-time Administrative Technician position to full-
time. The remaining funding will be used for a one-time computer purchase and office
set-up in the first year and support ongoing internal charges in the out years. Any funds
received for Primary Care Screenings and not spent during the fiscal year will be held in
reserve for future use for this initiative as these funds are restricted in use to Primary Care
Screenings. This proposal to add staff does not require additional support from the City's
General Fund.

ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funds for Outpatient Behavioral Health
Services and to Establish Two Full-Time Positions
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
■ Background: In 2015, the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and
Developmental Services (DBHDS) began a comprehensive study of the public behavioral
health service delivery system across Virginia. The intent of this study was to ensure that
all Virginians had timely access to health services and to reduce variation in services that
were provided at different Community Service Boards within the Commonwealth. The
study's findings resulted in the development of the System Transformation, Excellence
and Performance in Virginia (STEP-VA) initiative, which was authorized by the General
Assembly in 2017. The STEP-VA plan outlines nine services to be implemented by all
Community Services Boards on a timeline that extends into calendar year 2021.
Beginning in FY 2020, DBHDS has decided to implement step three of the plan:
Outpatient Behavioral Health Services. This step is designed to ensure access to
outpatient therapy services within ten days of an initial assessment.
• Considerations: The 2019 General Assembly provided $15 million from the
Commonwealth's General Fund specifically earmarked for outpatient mental health and
substance abuse services in FY 2020. In response, DBHDS began to allocate funding for
the third step of the STEP-VA program through the Community Service Board's FY 2020
Performance Contract. As part of this contract, $195,000 was allocated to the City for
Outpatient Services.
The City has established Behavioral Health Outpatient clinics for adults and children.
DBHDS funding will be used to add two full-time Clinicians, one for each program. In
addition to personnel costs associated with the new positions, this allocation will cover
ongoing professional development, office supplies, and Parent Child Interaction Therapy
(PCIT) software licensing, as well as one-time costs associated with computers, office
set-up, and PCIT equipment. Any funds received for Outpatient and not spent during the
fiscal year will be held in reserve for future use for this initiative as these funds are
restricted in use to Outpatient Behavioral Health Services. This proposal to add staff does
not require additional support from the General Fund.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate a Developer Contribution to Capital
Project # 2-025, "Witchduck Road Phase II"
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background: The "Witchduck Road Phase II" project (CIP # 2-025) is a major
roadway reconstruction and expansion project in the Kempsville area. The project is
presently under construction and consists of roadway widening, stormwater, water, and
sewer improvements along the corridor. On February 6, 2018, City Council approved an
ordinance that allowed for sale of property owned by the School Board of the City of
Virginia Beach at 273 North Witchduck Road to a private developer. Subsequently,
Council also approved a conditional change of zoning for this property from B-2
Community Business to Conditional A-24 Apartment. Consistent with this zoning
modification, the owner of the property registered Renaissance Apts. I, L.P., and
proposed the construction of Renaissance Apartments.
As part of the site development plan for the Renaissance Apartments, a new right turn
lane is proposed to be constructed on Witchduck Road to secure access into the property.
This need was forecasted in the Planning Staff Report presented to Council on February
6, 2018. Under the section traffic impacts, City staff noted: "Access to the site will be
limited to a right-in/right-out only from Witchduck Road. The developer will need to
coordinate with the contractor for the Witchduck Road capital project in order to install the
required right turn lane, curb and gutter, and sidewalk at the correct alignment on
Witchduck Road."
• Considerations: The Witchduck Road Phase II project as designed did not
anticipate the improvements for the turn lane and any additional utility improvements.
Additionally, the City is not well served in constructing improvements that would need to
be subsequently demolished to allow access to the Apartments. To avert this adverse
impact on the City while ensuring safe traffic flow and vehicular access to the new
apartments, the City and Renaissance Apts. I, L.P., have entered an agreement wherein
the developer will pay the costs associated with the right turn lane and will install new
water and sewer utility connections. This allows the improvements to be built in the most
expeditious and economical manner possible for both parties. The developer contribution
is $226,821.41.

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: Ordinance Approving Application of Peter Coleman and Joan Shepherd for the
Closure of One-half of an Unimproved Unnamed Alley Adjacent to the Rear of
709 Vanderbilt Avenue in Croatan
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background:
Peter Coleman and Joan Shepherd (the "Applicants") requested the closure of
approximately 375 sq. ft. of an unimproved, unnamed alley (the "Right-of-Way"),
adjacent to the rear of their property located at 709 Vanderbilt Avenue (GPIN:
2426-38-4394), for the purpose of incorporating the closed area into their adjoining
property.
• Considerations:
This street closure request is consistent with City Council's policy aimed at
disposing of unimproved rights-of-way to adjoining property owners in the Croatan
community.
Other street closure requests similar to this request have been granted to property
owners within the same block. The Viewers determined that the closure of the
Right-of-Way, with conditions set forth below, will not result in a public
inconvenience. There was no opposition to the request.
• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to
recommend approval of this request to the City Council with the following
conditions:.
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership
of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City shall be
determined according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in
Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.
2. The Applicants shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the closed area into the adjoining parcel. The resubdivision plat
shall be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street closure
approval. Said plat must include the dedication of a public drainage easement
over the Right-of-Way to the City of Virginia Beach, subject to the approval of
the Department of Public Works and the City Attorney's office, which easement
shall include a right of reasonable ingress and egress.
3. The Applicants shall verify that no private utilities exist within the Right-of-Way
proposed for closure. If private utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the
utility company must be provided.
4. Closure of the Right-of-Way shall be contingent upon compliance with the
above stated conditions within 365 days of approval by City Council. If the
conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not approved
within one year of the City Council approval, said approval shall be considered
null and void.

Evaluation and Recommendation
A Viewers'Meeting was held,that included City Staff from the departments of Public Works, Public Utilities, Planning
and Community Development and the Office of the City Attorney,to consider this application.The Viewers determined
that the proposed closure will not result in a public inconvenience;therefore,closure of this portion of the right-of-way
is deemed acceptable.
City Council adopted a policy aimed at disposing of undeveloped rights-of-way to adjoining property owners in the
Croatan community.Many similar requests have been reviewed and approved by the City Council for the closure of
alleys within the vicinity of the site. In fact,as evidenced by review of the Zoning history,this request mimics a Street
Closure application that was approved by the City Council on the parcel directly to the northwest on August 23, 2011.
The proposed Street Closure is recommended for approval with the following conditions.
Recommended Conditions
1. The City Attorney's Office will make the final determination regarding ownership of the underlying fee.The
purchase price to be paid to the City shall be determined according to the"Policy Regarding Purchase of City's
Interest in Streets Pursuant to Street Closures," approved by City Council.

2. The applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to incorporate the closed area into the
adjoining parcel.The resubdivision plat must be submitted and approved for recordation prior to final street
closure approval.Said plat must include the dedication of a public drainage easement over the closed portion of
the alley to the City of Virginia Beach,subject to the approval of the Department of Public Works,and the City
Attorney's office,which easement shall include a right of reasonable ingress and egress.
3. The applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the right-of-way proposed for closure. If private
utilities do exist,easements satisfactory to the utility company must be provided.
4. Closure of the right-of-way shall be contingent upon compliance with the above stated conditions within 365
days of approval by City Council. If the conditions noted above are not accomplished and the final plat is not
approved within one year of the City Council approval,said approval shall be considered null and void.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: ROBERT &JANET KOTTKE [Applicant & Owner] Modification of Conditions
(Preschool/Day-Care Facility) for the property located at 2660 West Neck
Road (GPIN 1494801200), COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background:
On July 3, 2001, City Council granted a Conditional Use Permit for a Pre-
school/Day Care Facility in the Tidewater United Church of Christ on West Neck
Road. Since that time, the church has become inactive and the applicant has
purchased the property to expand the pre-school/day care facility. Specifically, the
applicant is requesting to modify the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit to
increase the number of children from 100 to 140 and staff members from 15 to 20.
In addition, the applicant is seeking to modify the signage to solely advertise the
pre-school/day care facility. Other than changes to the sign, no exterior changes
to the building are proposed. There are 64 parking spaces on the site, well in
excess of the minimum of 19 spaces required by the Zoning Ordinance. The
circulation plan provided by the applicant shows a logical and safe means for the
drop-off and pick-up of the children. The typical hours of operation are 7:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
■ Considerations:
The proposed request to modify the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit for a
Pre-school/Day Care Facility, in Staff's opinion, is acceptable. The request remains
in keeping with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan as it
relates to the Transition Area, as it is a low intensity use that provides a
complementary and valuable service to the nearby residential uses. Further details
pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached
Staff report.
There was one speaker in opposition at the Planning Commission public hearing
who noted concerns related to the possible decline in property values for homes
in the adjacent neighborhood, and the increase in traffic associated with a rise in
the number of children at the facility. Much of the discussion centered around the
fact that students from Kellam High School, which is across West Neck Road, often
park in the neighborhood. Traffic Engineering Staff committed to work with the
speaker to investigate a means of installing "No Parking" signs in the
neighborhood.
Robert & Janet Kottke

• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission passed
a motion to recommend approval of this request by a vote of 9-0.
All conditions of the July 3, 2001 Conditional Use Permit shall be deleted and
replaced with the following conditions listed below:
1 . There shall be no more than 140 students in the facility at any one time;
however, the ultimate occupancy, which cannot exceed 140 students, shall be
subject to the approval of the Building Official's Office.
2. All signage on the site must be in accordance with sign regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance.
3. The applicant shall obtain all the necessary permits, inspections, and approvals
from the Department of Social Services, the Fire Department, and the Permits
and Inspections Division of the Planning Department before occupancy of the
building. A Certificate of Occupancy for the use shall be obtained from the
Permits and Inspections Division of the Planning Department.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• On July 3, 2001, City Council granted a Conditional Use Permit for a Pre-school/Day Care Facility in the Tidewater
United Church of Christ on West Neck Road. Since that time,the church parishioners have dismantled,and the
church is no longer active at this site.
• It is the applicant's desire to purchase the property from the church and to expand the pre-school/day care
facility. Specifically,the applicant is requesting to modify the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit to
increase the number of children from 100 to 140 and staff members from 15 to 20.
• Also,the applicant is seeking to modify the signage to solely advertise the pre-school/day care facility,as
depicted on page 8 of this report. Other than changes to the sign, no exterior changes to the building are
proposed.
• Per the Zoning Ordinance, a day care operation requires one space per three hundred (300)square feet of floor
area. As the building is 5,774 square feet, 19 onsite parking spaces are required. There are 64 parking spaces on
the site;thereby, exceeding the minimum number of spaces required by 45.
• The applicant has provided a circulation plan (depicted on pages 6 and 7 of this report)that shows a logical and
safe means for the drop-off and pick-up of the children.The typical hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00
p.m., Monday through Friday.The morning drop-off time is between 8:35 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., and the mid-day
pick-up time is between 11:45 a.m. and noon. Since the school is open until 6:00 p.m., parents who do not pick
up their children during the mid-day pick-up time will park in the parking lot and walk into the building to pick-
up their children.

Evaluation and Recommendation
The proposed request to modify the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit for a Pre-school/Day Care Facility, in Staff's
opinion, is acceptable.The request remains in keeping with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan as
it relates to the Transition Area,as it is a low intensity use that provides a complementary and valuable service to the
nearby residential uses.
Based on these considerations,Staff recommends approval of the application,subject to the modified conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
All conditions of the July 3, 2001 Conditional Use Permit shall be deleted and replaced with the following conditions
listed below:
1. There shall be no more than 140 students in the facility at any one time; however,the ultimate occupancy,
which cannot exceed 140 students,shall be subject to the approval of the Building Official's Office.
2. All signage on the site must be in accordance with sign regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. The applicant shall obtain all the necessary permits, inspections,and approvals from the Department of Social
Services,the Fire Department,and the Permits and Inspections Division of the Planning Department before
occupancy of the building. A Certificate of Occupancy for the use shall be obtained from the Permits and
Inspections Division of the Planning Department.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division,and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design(CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as being within the Transition Area.The Transition Area serves as a
unique land use buffer between the low-density Rural Area from the more densely developed Suburban Area. Within
the Transition Area,the Plan calls for development patterns that promote open space, low per acre density and
preservation of natural features. Discretionary development proposals within the Transition Area,according to the Plan,
should be well-planned,cluster residential development at densities no more than one dwelling unit per acre. New
development should incorporate the specific planning and design principles established in the Transition Area Design
Guidelines as well as adhere to the provisions of the Oceana Land Use Conformity and AICUZ programs.

Modification of Conditions (Preschool/Day-Care Facility)
2660 West Neck Road
District— Princess Anne
August 28, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Ms. Sandloop: Next item, is agenda Item number four, Robert & Janet Kottke. This is an
application for a Modification of Conditions for a pre-school daycare facility on
property located at 2660 West Neck Road in the Princess Anne District. Is the
applicant or the applicant's representative here? Would you please state your name
for the record?
Ms. Cox: Sure, it's Jennifer Cox.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay. And, can you explain your application?
Ms. Cox: Beach Manor Pre-school has been there sharing that building that we're talking
about with the Tidewater Community Church since 2001. They're no longer
sharing the facility with the church; the church is not active anymore. So with that
being said, we're trying to increase the occupancy or the Conditional Use from 100
to 140 students, this would also increase the staff from 15 to 20. There also will
be some small sign changes out to show that the church is no longer active.
Ms. Rucinski: What are the ages of the children that attend the school?
Ms. Cox: We do from two and we can go up to 10. The 10 year olds are usually just after
school.
1
Ms. Rucinski: Does anyone have any questions for the applicant? Alright, you'll have a seat and
we'll call you up if there's rebuttal. Can you call the next speaker?
Ms. Sandloop: Yes, ma'am. We have one speaker Isaac Nathaniel.
Mr. Nathaniel: Hi, my name is Isaac Nathaniel. I am the neighbor to the school. I live directly
across the street from them. They are a fantastic school. My one fear with the
increase in the population of their school and the additional staffing is the additional
traffic. The issue that we have during the school year is that Kellam High School is
directly across the street and what we have found is that the Kellam High School
students have to park somewhere, which is our neighborhood. So, what happens is
the entire exterior loop that you see that becomes on both sides of the street that
becomes a parking lot. So,it becomes a one way street,coming in from West Neck.
The fear is the corner where you see the retention pond,the corner right there is our
bus stop for all the kids and there's about 11 kindergarteners up to elementary
school age. Kids that will stand at that parking or that bus stop, our fear with the
teenage drivers that are coming in there is the security of them. And you know,my
kid as well as the value of our home, we're a little worried that if we ever chose to
sell our home, the high traffic would be a deterrent. So that was my fear. Thank
you.
Ms. Rucinski: Alright, any questions for Mr. Nathaniel?
Mr. Nathaniel: I do apologize, one other thing, we have been trying to get no parking signs in the
community. The City has said that you either do "no parking signs" in a certain
timeframe of the school and it has to be approved by our HOA Board. We had 17
2
approvals and seven denials because it wasn't up to a certain percentage for our
bylaws. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do that it was one short of being able to.
The recommendation that I had was if there's any chance of the areas that were
community space, that aren't impacting directly by a home, if those could be a no
parking spot, that would be helpful because that does impact the bus stop. And it
would also help the school as well, because that impacts the flow. One thing at the
end of the school year, the crossing guard did come up to me and said, you know,
please put these parking signs up.The traffic at that four way intersection has gotten
crazy because the kids. That is the only place for them to park so they're all turning
in there and it impacts the flow of traffic into the school itself. So thank you very
much.
Ms. Rucinski: Maybe we can have somebody on staff that could, you know, maybe help him
determine how he could go about getting that.
Mr. Tajan: We will follow up with traffic engineering.
Ms. Rucinski: In conjunction with this application, is there something that could be done about
the parking so that the flow of traffic doesn't become an issue for the residents?
Mr. Lowman: Well, we're talking about something totally separate from this application here.
We, I mean, I don't think that this application has anything to do with the students
parking in the neighborhood or the congestion in the neighborhood, and we were
talking about, you know, in addition of 40 children coming to the school here, so I
don't consider that to be relevant to the issue of the school kids parking in the
neighborhood. And he is correct, they've come to us for the signage and like I
3
mentioned earlier,if a neighborhood meets a certain threshold of people that request
no parking in the neighborhood, we will put those signs up. They say no parking,
you know, 8 am to 2 pm. We have them at Cox High School, First Colonial High
School, and Green Run. I know the neighborhood behind Kellam has them. But,
you know, we have to meet a certain threshold of residents that agree that yes, we
want to reduce the parking, you know, we want to eliminate the parking in front of
our homes during the day because it's not just the students, it's the residents as well.
Anybody parking on the street can get a ticket, so that's where we hold it to a high
threshold of, you know approval. So they have met with us, they haven't met the
requirements. That's where that stands, but I don't think this application really has
anything to deal with students parking in the neighborhood. The students parking
in the neighborhood, we don't really understand it at all because the amount of
parking that they have on site, you know, when they built Kellam, they built it for
every junior and every senior to have a spot there, that's what I was told, as long as
they pay them, you know, the parking sticker. So, we can understand why they
park in the neighborhood other than maybe traffic gets so backed up there, that
instead of trying to turn into the school, they bail into the neighborhoods they can
run across the street. I mean, that's just, that's just, I have no idea, but is that
answered your question.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you for providing.
Mr. Nathaniel: Speak to Kellam High School. They have said that at a certain time period, they
stop handing out permits so the kids that get a license from that point to the end of
the year. They have to find a spot to park and that we end up being the parking
4
spot. I know it doesn't apply to this particular permit,but the additional traffic does
affect us, unfortunately.
Mr. Ripley: I'm just curious was the church there when you move there?
Mr. Nathaniel: It was yep.
Mr. Ripley: Okay. So you know, the assembly use was there?
Mr. Nathaniel: Absolutely.
Mr. Ripley: Okay. So this is not a surprise to you?
Mr.Nathaniel: No. And they've been great neighbors and this didn't become more of an issue until
the other school or other neighborhood put up there no parking signs and that
additional traffic impacted our neighborhood immediately. We had a small amount
of kids parking in our neighborhood initially and then once those signs went up, it
blew up and the entire both sides of the street is full of kids and it is really difficult
now, it's become a one way street. So I'm worried for them as well as us because
they feel the same way. They've gone to the high school and they've gone or I
mean, we've had this conversation several times. Thank you very much.
Ms. Rucinski: Unfortunately, we can't solve that one.
Mr. Nathaniel: Yeah.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other questions?
Mr. Horsley: You need to go back and take another vote. Get your ratio up a little bit so you can
get those.
5
Mr. Nathaniel: That's the plan. One more vote. Thank you so much.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other speakers?
Ms. Sandloop: No, ma'am.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, so let's close the public hearing, I'm sorry. Do you want a chance to rebut
anything that he had said?
Ms. Cox: It doesn't sound like too much of it actually was; obviously our four year olds aren't
driving and parking. So I don't know that we're contributing to the parking issue
that they're having,but we would like to say if, you know, we have any say we will
be happy to support that community; however, with getting those new parking
signs, if there's anything that we can do to help, as well. Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: And so now we'll close the public hearing and for discussion amongst the
Commissioners, yeah.
Mr. Horsley: I just think it's a valid request and I'm glad to see that somebody is taking over the
church. Too often we get churches, when they go, when the churches go out of
business that's kind of hard to say, but when churches cease to become a church
anymore, it's hard to find what fits in those buildings and the schools fits very good.
And I don't see any problem with this. I think we grant their request.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other conversation? Do we have a motion.
Mr. Horsley: So move.
Mr. Redmond: Second.
6
Mr. Ripley: I need to disclose that the applicant has listed TowneBank as their lender, and I
need to disclose I serve on the advisory board in TowneBank in Chesapeake and
have a letter on file with the clerk's of stating and TowneBank is not the applicant
and I have no interest in the application and the Planning Commission
recommendations are advisory only and final decisions by City Council. So, all
that disclosed I will be voting on the application.
Mr. Inman: I would make the same disclosure as Mr. Ripley just made without repeating it all.
Mr. Graham: Madam Chair, I do as well with TowneBank.
Ms. Sandloop:T he vote is open now. By recorded vote of 9-0, agenda item number four has been
approved.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you, would you call the next item.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: CHESAPEAKE BAY FOUNDATION, INC. [Applicant & Owner] Modification
of Conditions (Environmental Education Center) on property located at 3663
Marlin Bay Drive (GPIN 1489573361), COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background:
A Conditional Use Permit for an Environmental Education Center and two Wind
Energy Conversion Systems was approved for the property by City Council on
December 11, 2012. The applicant is requesting a Modification of Conditions to
build a 1 ,000 square foot classroom addition onto the existing building, the Brock
Environmental Center. The classroom will house the Virginia Beach City Public
School's Environmental Studies Program. Up to 100 students will be enrolled in
the program and will split time between this site and their home schools. As the
primary user for the new classroom will be high school students who will be
transported by bus, no additional parking spaces are required. Minor site
enhancements to accommodate the addition include adjustments to pathways and
the installation of new planting material.
• Considerations:
The architecture of the addition mirrors that of the existing building, and the
increased footprint will have little impact on the environment. The land disturbance
is outside of the Resource Protection Area, which is the highly regulated portion of
the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area (CBPA). No variance from the CBPA
regulations is required. The proposal complements the Comprehensive Plan's
land use policies for the Shore Drive Corridor, serving to further protect the
significant investment that has been made to preserve Pleasure House Point for
open space, limited recreation, natural resource preservation, and natural
resource education. This classroom will enhance an existing partnership between
the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the Virginia Beach City Public Schools.
Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided
in the attached Staff report.
Staff did receive one letter of opposition who noted environmental concerns with
the existing Brock Environmental Center, as well as with the proposed addition. As
noted above, the improvements, both existing and proposed, will be located
outside of the more stringently regulated and environmentally sensitive portions of
the site.

• 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.
All conditions of the December 11, 2012 Conditional Use Permit for Environmental
Education Center and two Wind Energy Conversion Systems shall remain in effect
except Condition 1 shall be modified and a new condition, Condition 15, as
indicated below, shall be added.
1. When the property is developed, it shall be in substantial conformance with the
exhibit entitled, "CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SITE PLAN EXHIBIT,
CHESAPEAKE BAY FOUNDATION LEARNING CENTER," dated July 9,
2019, prepared by the Tymoff + Moss Architects, which has been exhibited to
the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning & Community
Development Department.
15.The elevation of the proposed building addition, off the eastern end of the
existing building, shall be in substantial conformance with the exhibit entitled,
"CHESAPEAKE BAY FOUNDATION CLASSROOM ADDITION," dated July 7,
2019, prepared by the Tymoff + Moss Architects, which has been exhibited to
the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Planning & Community
Development Department.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• A Conditional Use Permit for an Environmental Education Center and two Wind Energy Conversion Systems was
approved by City Council on December 11, 2012. The facility has been constructed and is in operation.
• The applicant proposes to build an addition onto the east end of the existing building. The addition will consist
of a deck extension that will connect to an approximately 1,000 square-foot building to be used as a classroom.
The classroom will house the Environmental Studies Program. The program's goal is to provide students with
real world applicable learning opportunities with a focus on social, economic and environmental impacts on
sustainability.
• Up to 100 students will be enrolled in the program,who will divide their time between this location and their
school.
• Minor site enhancements are proposed to both accommodate the addition and to address facility needs,
including adjustments to existing pathways,the installation of new planting material and new permeable pavers.
• The exterior elevations depict a design, architectural massing and materials that will match the existing building.
• As the primary user for the new classroom will be high school students that are transported by bus,there are no
proposed plans to modify the existing parking spaces on site, which includes the adjacent parking area within
the City right-of-way.

Evaluation and Recommendation
The applicant's request for a Modification of Conditions for the Conditional Use Permit for the Environmental Education
Center is, in Staffs opinion, acceptable.The architecture of the addition mimics that of the existing building, and the
increased footprint will have little impact on the environment. The land disturbance is outside the Resource Protection
Area,so no variance is required. Staff finds that the proposal furthers the Comprehensive Plan's land use policies for the
Shore Drive Corridor and SFA 1.1, as it serves to further protect the significant investment that has been made to
preserve Pleasure House Point for open space, limited recreation, natural resource preservation and natural resource
education. This classroom will enhance an existing partnership between the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the
Virginia Beach City Public Schools.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
This site is located within Suburban Focus Area 1-Shore Drive Corridor. The corridor is characterized by many well-
established neighborhoods, newer high-density residential development; neighborhood and resort commercial uses;
significant parks and open spaces; proximity to Chesapeake Bay and Lynnhaven River. More specifically,this site is
within SFA 1.1. Pleasure House Point which notes the importance to maintain and protect the significant investment
that has been made to preserve Pleasure House Point for open space, limited recreation, natural resource preservation
and natural resource education. Ensure that any development in the surrounding area is complementary with regard to
both design and land use to the natural resource and open space amenity provided by Pleasure House Point.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.This watershed is characterized by water,tidal marsh,sandy shores
and maritime forest.The shallow water estuarine environment of the property provides habitat for the iconic
Chesapeake Bay blue crab and the Lynnhaven oyster.
The proposed building addition is proposed outside of the Resource Protection Area,which is the most stringently
regulated portion of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation. No variance is required for the proposed land disturbance.

Modification of Conditions (Environmental Education Center)
3663 Marlin Bay Drive
District—Bayside
August 28, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL-CONSENT
Mr. Weiner: Thank you sir. Next is item 10. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Inc's
Modification of Conditions of the Environmental Education Center at 3663 Marlin
Bay Drive in the Bayside District. Is there a representative for this application?
Mr. Romine: Good afternoon Madam Chair, members of the Commission for the record Steve
Romine local attorney for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. We appreciate being
placed on the consent agenda. The two conditions are acceptable, and we thank
you for your time.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. So is there any opposition for this being placed on the consent agenda?
Hearing none, I will ask Commissioner Redmond to read this into the record.
Mr. Redmond:Thank you Mr. Weiner, thank you Mr. Romine. This is an application by the
Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Inc.with regard to their Brock Environmental Center,
pleasure house point in the Bayside District specifically is for a Modification of
Conditions some years ago, 2012 actually. The conditional use permit was issued
for this site for Environmental Center & Wind Energy Conversion System, which
is in place and in operation. The Center now wishes to build in addition to the east
end of the existing building, which will consist of a deck connecting to an
approximately 1,000 square foot building to be used as a classroom. The purpose
1
of that classroom is their new Environmental Studies Program, where they would
house approximately 100 students who would divide their time between their high
school and this location there are other minor site enhancements to existing
pathways and walkways and the installation of new planning material. Students
would primarily be transported by bus that certainly is the intention. We are
unaware of any opposition to this amendment, I should say simply because I can.
This is just a wonderful facility, not just in the Bayside District, but for the entire
city and we're lucky to have them. It's a true jewel and so the Commission is happy
to recommend approval to City Council by consent. Thank you, Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you Mr. Redmond. Madam chair that has all the items on the consent
agenda, I move for approval items one, three, five, eight, and 10.
Ms. Rucinski: Do we have a second? The vote is open.
Ms. Sandloop: Mr. Ripley, could we get your vote please? By the recorded vote of 9-0, agenda
items one, three, five, eight and 10 have been approved by consent.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you. I would like to thank all the applicants that have been here today with
a matter on the consent agenda. Those items will now be scheduled on the City
Council agenda for hearing. You're welcome to stay or you can leave if you like.
Okay, the next order of business will address the remaining items on the agenda.
With the clerk please call the first item.

AGENDA ITEM f
ITEM: VIRGINIA BEACH DIGIPORTS, LLC [Applicant] TAYLOR FARMS LAND
COMPANY, LLC [Owner] Conditional Change of Zoning (AG-1 & AG-2
Agricultural Districts to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District), (GPIN
2405665160). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background:
The applicant is requesting to rezone 19.38 acres of an 800-acre parcel known
as Taylor Farm from AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional I-1 Light
Industrial District. A 170,000 square foot data center with a 31 ,500 square foot
mechanical yard. The material used for the building will be tilt-wall construction
featuring a series of concrete panels to form building exterior walls. A
landscaping feature known as a ha-ha is planned along the perimeter of the site,
which will provide a physical barrier and extra measure of security for the data
center, as well as provide storage of stormwater.
The data center will tie into the subsea cables landing in Virginia Beach and will
provide direct access to terrestrial networks, servicing corporate customers around
the world. Hours of operation for the data center will be 24 hours a day, seven days
a week. The data center will employ approximately 30-40 people. Mitigation of
noise emissions will be provided with the construction of a barrier wall around the
mechanical yard, as this is the only noise component of the data center itself. The
closest residential dwelling is approximately 2,800 feet from the site.
• Considerations:
The site is located within the Special Economic Growth Area 3 — South Oceana, a
tract of land encompassing properties on both sides of Dam Neck Road, between
Holland Road and Corporate Landing Parkway. The property is in the greater than
75 noise zone and is encumbered by a Navy Restrictive Easement. The data
center use is compatible with the AICUZ provisions set forth in the Zoning
Ordinance, and Staff received a letter from the Navy stating that the use is
permitted under the terms of the easement. A public outreach meeting was held
in February 2019, and a second meeting is planned to be held on September 23rd
Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided
in the attached Staff report.
At the Planning Commission public hearing, there were seven speakers. An
adjacent property owner spoke in support of the application, citing the important
Virginia Beach DigiPorts, LLC
Page 2 of 2
economic development opportunities associated with the offshore cable landing.
The six speakers in opposition noted potential flooding issues, impacts to forest
and wildlife; and the perception of a lack of community engagement and details
surrounding the project, concern that it will put the work of NAS Oceana at risk,
and that this simply is not a good location for this use.
Based on questions at the Staff Briefing on September 24, 2019, attached is a
document entitled `Global Subsea Resurgence - Virginia Beach 0 to 4 in - 18
month' to address concerns regarding economic impact of data centers.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend approval of this request
by a vote of 8-1.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting to rezone 19.38 acres of an 800-acre parcel from AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural Districts
to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial District.
• A 170,000 square foot data center with a 31,500 square foot mechanical yard is proposed as part of Phase 1 of
the master plan development for Taylor Farm.The material used for the building will be tilt-wall construction.
Tilt-wall construction features a series of concrete panels titled up into place to form building exterior walls.The
mold used for the wall is surfaced with a geometric block-like pattern and will be painted a neutral color.The
front of the data center will be finished with glass and architectural metal panels.
• The perimeter of the site will have a landscaping feature called a Ha-ha. The Ha-Ha provides a physical barrier
and provides border protection from vehicle crashes and other instances that could cause a threat to the
security of the data center.The Ha-Ha also supports the quality and quantity of the stormwater around the
perimeter of the site.The site will be landscaped with trees and shrubs, in keeping with the proposed rendering
depicted on page 9 of this report. A landscaping plan will be submitted and reviewed during site plan review.
• The data center will tie into the subsea cables landing in Virginia Beach and will provide direct access to
terrestrial networks, servicing corporate customers around the world. Hours of operation for the data center will
be 24 hours a day, seven days a week.The data center will employ approximately 30-40 people.
• Mitigation of noise emissions will be provided with the construction of a barrier wall around the mechanical
yard, as this is the only noise component of the data center itself. Generators are muffled and are particle-
filtered, which does not generate much noise.The closest residential dwelling is approximately 2,800 feet away
from the site.The applicant does not anticipate noise being an issue and has made provisions to alleviate as
much noise as possible.
• To provide access to the site, the applicant proposes to construct a 110-foot public access road connecting to an
existing curb cut along Dam Neck Road. The proposed road will be dedicated to the City of Virginia Beach,
providing shared access to the entire 800-acre site.
• A proposed stormwater management facility will be constructed adjacent to the data center to address
stormwater quality and quantity control for the site.
• Per Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance, one space per employee on a maximum working shift is required.
When originally submitted, the applicant was requesting over 100 parking spaces on the site. The applicant has
modified the plan and reduced the number of parking spaces to 41.
• The site is located in the greater than 75db DNL Noise Zone and is impacted by a Navy restrictive easement. On
February 11, 2019, the applicant received a letter from the Department of Navy stating that the proposed use
appears to be compliant with the language of the restrictive easement and is, therefore, an appropriate use for
this site.

Evaluation and Recommendation
This request to rezone the 19.38-acre site from AG-1 &AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial
District to construct a data center is acceptable.
This site is located within the Special Economic Growth Area 3—South Oceana. The Special Economic Growth Area 3 is a
tract of land encompassing properties on both sides of Dam Neck Road, between Holland Road and Corporate Landing
Parkway. Portions of this area are impacted by high noise zones, accidental potential zones, and Navy restrictive
easements.The data center use is compatible with the AICUZ provisions set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. As stated
previously, the applicant submitted an easement compliance review request to the Department of Navy to retrieve
approval to construct this data center. Based on the Navy's findings, this use is permitted under the terms of the Grant
of Easement owned by the United States.

As per the Comprehensive Plan, the western region of this area is planned for non-residential uses to include a mix of
light industrial, low-rise office and limited retail use. The proposal is consistent with this vision.
According to Traffic Engineering Staff, no left turns are permitted from the site onto eastbound Dam Neck Road. Also,
the proposed access point along Harpers Road, while depicted on the proffered plan, will not be allowed unless right-of-
way improvements are made to the entire frontage from the access point to Dam Neck Road. Additional detailed
comments will be provided during the site plan review process.
As recommended by Staff, the applicant has submitted a preliminary stormwater management analysis to the
Development Services Center(DSC) outlining their proposed stormwater strategy for this site. The DSC has reviewed the
preliminary stormwater analysis and based on their findings, is confident that the submitted strategy has the potential
to successfully comply with stormwater regulations for this site. Upstream and downstream impacts will be more closely
reviewed during site plan review for this project to ensure that negative impacts will not occur upstream and
downstream as a result of this development.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the proffers.
Proffers
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The applicant,
consistent with Section 107(h) of the City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers in an attempt to
"offset identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable," (§107(h)(1)). Should this application
be approved, the proffers will be recorded at the Circuit Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property
as proposed with this change of zoning.
PROFFER 1:
When the Property is developed, it shall be substantially in accordance with the exhibit entitled "CONCEPTUAL SITE
PLAN FOR DATA CENTER ON A PORTION OF PARCEL"A" PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2097 HARPERS ROAD, VIRGINIA BEACH,
VA" dated July 10, 2019 and prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates.
PROFFER 2:
The exterior of the data center building shall substantially adhere in appearance and materials to the exhibit entitled
"RENDERING OF NXTVN DATA CENTER AT TAYLOR FARM" dated July 10, 2019 and prepared by Kimley-Horn and
Associates.
PROFFER 3:
The 110' right-of-way proposed on the "CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN FOR A DATA CENTER ON A PORTION OF PARCEL "A"
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2097 HARPERS ROAD, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA" dated July 10, 2019 prepared by Kimley-Horn and
Associates will be dedicated to the City of Virginia Beach once the construction plans are approved by City staff and
a performance bond is properly posted for the improvements.
PROFFER 4:
Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed Site Plan review and administration of applicable City
Codes by all cognizant City agencies and departments to meet all applicable City Code requirements.
Staff Comments:
Staff has reviewed the Proffers listed above and finds them acceptable.
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the proffer agreement and found it to be legally sufficient and in acceptable
legal form.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as being within the Special Economic Growth Area 3—South
Oceana. Portions of the area are impacted by high noise zones, accident potential zones and Navy restrictive easements.
All proposed land uses in this area must align with the City's AICUZ provisions and Oceana Land Use Conformity
program.The western region of this area is planned for non-residential uses to include a mix of light industrial, low-rise
office and limited retail use.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The property is within the Southern Rivers Watershed. Drainage in the Southern Rivers watershed is highly impacted by
the presence of high ground water, poorly draining soils, and high-water surface elevations in downstream receiving
waters.There are no known cultural resources on the site.

Virginia Beach,VA 23462
Dear Mr. Royal:
Thank you for your request for an easement compliance review for the proposed use of 2097
Harpers Road,Virginia Beach,Virginia.
I reviewed an analysis prepared by a Navy Real Estate Contracting Officer and I agree with
the conclusion that the property is subject to restrictions resulting from a Grant of Easement
acquired by the United States of America. Enclosed is a copy of the Review and Findings for
your convenience.
Accordingly,the proposed use of the property,specifically a data center for the storage and
dissemination of data,an office component to manage the facility,and the storage of diesel fuel
for generators,is permitted under the terms of the Grant of Easement owned by the United States
of America
Be aware that our determination is based on the representations of the use and location of the
property. Please be advised the U.S.Navy will periodically conduct random reviews in the field,
of the properties encumbered by covenants and restrictions to ensure that the interests of the
United States are protected.
Thank you for your request for my comments on this matter. My point of contact for this
matter is Mr.Paul Moomaw,who can be reached at(757)433-2678 or via e-mail at
paul.moomaw@navy.mil.
Sincerely,

Conditional Rezoning (AG-1 & AG-2 Agricultural Districts to Conditional I-1 Light
Industrial)
2097 Harpers Road
District—Beach
August 28, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Ms. Sandloop: Yes ma'am. The next agenda item is Dl. Virginia Beach DigiPorts, LLC. It's an
application for a Conditional Rezoning AG-1 and AG-2 Agricultural districts to
Conditional I-1 Light Industrial on property located at 2097 Harpers Road in the
Beach District. Will the applicant or the applicant's representative please step
forward?
Mr. Royal: Good afternoon Madam Chair,Vice Chair,Members of Planning Commission. My
name is Randy Royal with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Virginia Beach. I am the
agent representing Virginia Beach DigiPorts on this application, rezoning AG-1
and AG-2 to Conditional I-1 Light Industrial for a data center. The property, I think
you heard a little bit in the pre-briefing this morning, severely encumbered with a
Navy restrictive easement. There's only certain uses that can go in there. This is
one of them that is allowed. It is a good use. I'll speak to that a little more here in
a minute and then we have a letter from the Navy approving this use. It's actually
located in a special economic growth area, South Oceana, high noise zone, 75
decibels or higher in there, but it is compatible with AICUZ. The parcel itself, site
plan there, there you go. The parcel itself the proposed two-story building, that's
about 10 acres. I'm going to get into storm drainage in a minute,but we've got like
1
a six-acre pond, which is about three times what we would normally have on a site
and then we've got the road itself, all of which is being re-zoned. That's the 19
acres that we're talking about. It's really 10 acres of development,but we've got 19
acres total, as we were directed by staff to do. So,we have met with the community
way back when we've suffered some delays due to some land negotiations and other
issues that we met with them February 7th, Corporate Landing Elementary School
there were 50 people or so there. We answered all the questions at that time.
However, I met with three other citizens this past Friday, and they said they would
like to have another community meeting, which I agreed to do,but I'm hopeful that
we can get a recommendation out of you today because delaying will cause us to
get October for Planning Commission and November City Council. My client is
here. He'll speak to it but he's already lost a couple of deals due to timing and we
need to keep moving these things forward, the data centers have to have clients in
there, and they move very quickly and require us to move quickly. Storm drainage,
you heard from DSC this morning. There is to be no impact downstream nor
upstream. I think one of you asked in the drainage questions, are we impacting the
rest of the site, which by the way is 335 acres, Taylor Farm total is 800, but we're
dealing with Linda Chapel who owns 335 acres,but we have to look at that as part
of the storm drainage as we're considering this property. The review itself, I wanted
to clarify that Public Works has put forth new standards, very restrictive standards,
looking specifically at areas like Southern Virginia Beach, looking at things that
they have not been adopted yet; however, with re-zonings, we have to use as much
higher standards,they probably will be adopted,but there's a lot of vetting. There's
2
a lot of discussion before that happens. This project in any rezoning that you hear
staff will make us use those much, much higher standards, so and again answering
a question that Pond typical would have been in the 12 to 15% range. I've been
doing this for 40 years. That's about what it would be. It's in a 45% range with
these new requirements. We're looking at sea level rise. We're looking at
windblown touch. We're looking at groundwater flow. All of that is coming into
play on this. Mr. Barnes again, and I don't mean to address specifically, but I
sympathize with you. I'm working with Public Works. We are looking —. Well,
we're looking at these flooding problems and respectfully, Ashville Park had a lot
of problems with the design and I'm sorry that you're downstream from that, but
that's a particular problem, but we're looking at all the flooding problems.
Mr. Barnes: Downstream with this too.
Mr. Royal: Well, but this is not going to have the impacts. It's not going to have the mistake
in design that Ashville Park had.
Mr. Barnes: Is it going to have any impact?
Mr. Royal: No sir, that's the high standard.
Mr. Barnes: Would you let to bet on it?
Mr. Royal: From an engineering standpoint, yes sir. Sir, I can tell you the professional
engineering aspect of it. We have taken the model from the City. The PC SWM
model, and been held to very, very high standards to show zero impact. That's all
we can depend on now. And I'm sorry to engage and I didn't mean to do that, I
3
apologize. The other aspect of storm drainage and you're probably going to hear
from some of the citizens here you've seen some pictures. Ms. Bookholt addresses
one of them in the May of 2018 flooding of Damn Neck Road. That was an intense
storm, but over and above the intensity, the pipes were clogged. Once they unclog
the pipes, as you heard Ms. Bookholt say they haven't had any more requests for
service out there. I'm not saying there might have been some water backup, but
nothing like the pictures you saw. Other pictures that I've seen from the citizens,
quite frankly are from September of 2016, which is Tropical Storm Julia, probably
a 100 year storm, if not more, probably 200 year storm. Couple of weeks after that
was Hurricane Matthew on October 8th. That was like a 500 year storm. We don't
design for that, you're going to have flooding during those scenarios. This is a 10
acre site with a six acre pond and a three acre roadway that we're going to be
required to have zero impact downstream. They put us through the ringer on that.
Traffic, I've heard an issue with traffic. Dam Neck Road, is I'm not sure what the
level of service, but it's pretty high because capacity is 35,000. There's currently
about 20,000 ADT on it. Harper's Road has capacity but it is too narrow. Traffic
Engineering is here and he'll tell you, they do not want us accessing Harpers Road
because its too narrow and they don't want to put the traffic on there. We do show
an access on the Site plan,but it's gated. It's locked. It's an emergency access,only
for the firemen to get in there, so we come out there. I understand Dam Neck Road
is 55 miles an hour and there may be some borrow pit trucks that come out, that's
not what we have. We have 20-25 employees, there's going to be nominal impact
on traffic out there. Noise, you may hear about that. Typically, data centers are
4
quiet. This is not a Bitcoin. We've talked about that before, not the Bitcoin that is
very loud. It is a data center very, very quiet other than the backup generators that
are tested once a month, once every couple of weeks. Those backup generators
typically have shielding on them in addition to a wall around them. So, the noise
that you get out of them with the shielding and with the wall at the edge of the
property is about 55 decibels, 65 decibels is me talking to you from about three feet
away. 55 is nominal noise. There are three big neighborhoods. I've looked at the
map are Prince George Estates, it's over 2000 feet away beyond the 55 decibels,
Lake Placid over 4000 feet away,Red Mill,or excuse me, Red Wing over 7000 feet
away. Noise should not be an issue. We've got a great opportunity in Virginia
Beach Subsea cables are coming in here. We need to capitalize on; capitalizing on
it is putting the data centers for the Subsea cables to come into. You might say,
well, you're only creating 20 jobs there is still economic impact and the spinoff is
so many businesses wanted to be near the data centers. The milliseconds difference
being closer can be a huge financial gain to these businesses. So, the businesses
are going to come. We've already had some of these leap frog to Northern Virginia,
to Richmond. We need to be prepared to get these and again my client has
somebody now and we don't want to lose that client or they'll go elsewhere again.
So, again, I'm prepared to address anything and everything that's thrown out there.
I think I address the big issues for you. Staff has recommended a positive
recommendation. I hope you'll see fit to do the same. We're absolutely committed
to meeting with the neighbors again, but we're hopeful that you can move us
5
forward and we will meet with the neighbors before we go to City Council. So, I'll
stand by for questions unless you have some now.
Ms. Rucinski: Any question.
Mr. Redmond: Mr. Royal, you and I both. I see you all the time at the Development Authority
meetings and that was my first exposure to this operation. Would you describe how
this is not just this facility,but this function and cables are viewed by our economic
developers and the folks who are charged with trying to grow our income and jobs
and all the rest of it?
Mr. Royal: I'll do my best and Ray White from Economic Development is here. He's going to
speak to you about it also,but as I said, we've got these transatlantic cables coming
in from all kinds of countries. And it's, it's putting the data out right now, literally
the cloud. I don't know what that is. I'm not sure if you all do either,but the cloud
where everything goes is up in Northern Virginia. For whatever reason, I mean,
knock on wood, it's great. They've decided to put Subsea cables into Virginia
Beach, they go up in New York, they go down in Florida, and they were looking
for another midpoint. So, we've got a great opportunity to connect those up, but
we've got to have the data centers to send the information out. The fiber that we're
talking about running around the area is going to connect up with that, everything's
going to work better. Businesses are going to want to locate here and we're right at
the hub with the Subsea cable. So, that's the big opportunity.
Mr. Redmond: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other questions?
6
Mr. Inman: Yes. Randy if you could hit the high spots of the beyond the fact that the BMP is
much larger than it would have been several years ago. What other features are
there to the stormwater management that's different or better than what would have
been done before these new regulations can?
Mr. Royal: Honestly, it's a lot more intense review. As I said, it's called PC SWM. That's a
model that you use where you look at everything all the way downstream,
previously, and like I said, I've been doing it a long time. You just can't well,
actually back in the old days, you just dump it all out on the road, and you didn't do
anything. Previously, you held back to pre-development levels, you didn't look so
much all the way downstream. If you held back to your pre-development level as
your peak flows, you're okay. Now we have to look at the storm comes in, the
water surges up, the water surges down. We have to look at the timing of that to
make sure that the timing of ours doesn't exacerbate the problem. So, we look all
the way downstream not just in our area there. All the way to the outfall to make
sure that we don't have an issue and again, DSC puts us through a rigorous review.
Ms. Rucinski: Anything else, yes Jack.
Mr. Wall: Well, have you looked it into that scene like an overall development plan for the
area, for that Venture Realty kind of put together? Have you coordinated with
anybody on your site? I mean, is it in terms of a larger bigger picture?
Mr. Royal: We have looked at what storm water flows are coming through there now we
haven't considered anything is developed, it's going to have to stand on its own. It's
going to have to work on its own, it may go past our site and what's coming past
7
our site now will continue to come past our site, but if and when the rest of that
develops, it will have to stand on its own and all this had to be worked out again.
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Ms. Rucinski: Anything else? All right, thank you.
Mr. Royal: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Can you call the first speaker?
Ms. Sandloop: Yes maam, we have 11 speakers, Eddie Bourdon and then Louis Shadle.
Mr. Bourdon: Madam Chair, Commission members, I'm up here before you today and support
this application. I'm the managing member of Paul Brown Family LLC, the owner
of 140 acres of farmland that has been split up over the years by roads. We are on
the north and south side of Dam Neck Road, the east and west side of London
Bridge Road and the east and west side of Harper's Road. The Taylor Farm
property is just to the northeast of our property and like Steve Barnes, this property
most of his property have been in my family since the 1800s and has been farmed.
We've never had any flooding issues other than the extremely large, I think it's
probably as big a ditch as we have in the City of Virginia Beach that runs from
Oceana across and through Linda's property and our property runs down the east
side of Harper's Road that drains a substantial portion of any Oceana and I will get
to that in a minute. We support the economic opportunity that this presents and that
the initiative that the City Council took to bring the cables here represent the
revenues to the City, the opportunity economically, jobs, jobs, jobs, is very
8
important to the City to address the needs that the City has, and one of which is
stormwater. What Steve Barnes talked about this morning with regard to the
Southern part of the City, I could not be more sympathetic towards and an
agreement with him on and I can tell you the Green Ribbon committee has talked
about this extensively. Both Ms. Henley and Eyle Hanley not related or upon this
and I hope we can get somewhere with it. What Randy Royal just said it's never
been more true, we've never ever had the level of information from all the studies
that had been done about storm water, nor the stringent regulations on how we deal
with storm water, like we have today and I would hesitate, I wouldn't hesitate to
guess that we have the most stringent stormwater analysis and coverage of new
development of any of the myriad of jurisdictions in northeastern North Carolina,
Chesapeake, Suffolk, etc, that all drain in the same watershed. That the sound and
that's where the issue arises of, as, again, Steve couldn't have been more eloquent
and what he had to say this morning and he's correct, but we aren't in a vacuum.
You know, there are whole lot of other places that put water into that sound and as
Randy has indicated, what we have to do today exceeds anything that's ever been
done in the past and it exceeds what's being done in these other jurisdictions. We
have to continue to have commerce. We have to continue to expand our tax base to
pay for the things that we will need to do. Last thing I'm going to say about NAS
Oceana, all their stormwater, they're not subject to any of these rules and
regulations. They don't have BMPs. That big ditch I'm talking about that is the
only time we've ever had any flooding issues is stormwater it drains Oceana. Okay.
Now, I'm not here to, I love Oceana, we're not here to throw them under the bus,
9
but when you all heard this morning in the briefing about the Comp Plan about
some cooperation,and Oceana doesn't want ponds out there because they don't want
the birds but they get rid of their water immediately. They don't have any
underground storage. They don't have any of that. They don't have to play by the
rules that we have to play by, the federal government. That's why there's a ton of
water coming off Oceana, not all that goes south, but a lot of it does and it comes
right through here. Right through these properties in a humongous ditch and it goes
into the North Landing River, eventually, West Neck creek that's where it all goes.
Oceana wasn't high and dry land when it was created and when it expanded over
the years, a lot of it was filled. A lot of it was low. Okay, so, understand it's not a
simple, simple fix. Again, I totally sympathize with Steve and what he's saying. It
needs to be addressed, but we can't, you know, can't do it alone and we can't shut
off Economic Development. We have to be smarter about it and I think staff and
all the money that Council spent on these studies has put us in a position to be
smarter about it. Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you, any questions? Okay, next speaker.
Ms. Sandloop: Lewis Shadle and then Raymond White.
Ms. Rucinski: State your name for the record please.
Mr. Shadle: My Name is Lewis Shadle. I'm the Managing Director of Virginia Beach DigiPorts.
So, I'm effectively the master developer of this project. I'd like to elaborate a little
bit on a couple of points that Randy had made about Subsea cables and then I'd also
like to talk a little bit about the economic impact of data centers to this region. One
10
of the reasons why I'm here. The subsea cables that come into Virginia Beach came
in for a single purpose and it was because the operators at undersea cable operators
wanted to get away from the congestion points to choke points in New York and
New Jersey, and also in southern Florida. All of those cables are in a position where
they can be dragged by a single trawler and so coming into the Mid-Atlantic region
was a diversity play, a resiliency play for those operators. We have lost a couple
of opportunities in Virginia Beach because we don't have enough data center
infrastructure here. The three Subsea cables, two that are currently operating now
and another one that's coming in from France the cable from Google are coming
into Virginia Beach and they're not stopping here. They're going straight to
Northern Virginia or they're going down to Boynton, Virginia. As I had described
with somebody one time, if you think about the Subsea cables is being like a water
pipe that comes across the Atlantic Ocean. They come through Virginia Beach and
there's no spigot in Virginia Beach. There's no spigot in Virginia Beach, none of
that data that comes in here terminates in Virginia Beach, and it goes to Ashburn,
Virginia or down to the Microsoft Data Center down in Boynton, Virginia. What
I'm trying to create here is a destination for the data to create a data center park that
is a place where data is originated,housed, stored, processed and disseminated that
is what the promise of data centers in Virginia Beach is and the economic impact
of that is it creates a 365 day economy. So, it helps to eliminate the limitations of a
seasonal economy that Virginia Beach currently has. Now as far as a direct impact
data centers, according to a couple of studies by Google, for every single employee
in a data center, there are five employees that are indirect as part of the ecosystem
11
that are supporting the services that are being delivered in the data center. These
are definitive reports so we can look up and call upon. A Northern Virginia
Technology Council study that I actually was a co-sponsor of a few years back
indicated that for every dollar of investment in a data center, there's a 9.5 dollar
return on the investment. Data Centers are one of the highest investment returns
on investment types of commercial business that you can possibly have, in
comparison with let's say, for instance, a light industry,which would deliver$1 and
57 cents back instead of$9 and 50 cents. And if it was a residential community,
the community loses money. The data centers are very, very low on impact to the
community.
Ms. Rucinski: Sir, your time is just up, so please.
Mr. Shadle: Yes ma'am. So, I'll just pause right there and ask if there's any questions otherwise
I'll sit down.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions? All right. Thank you.
Mr. Shadle : Good. Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Raymond White, and then Dave Pyzewski.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you, can you state your name for the record?
Mr. White: Good afternoon. I'm Raymond White. I'm Business Development Coordinator for
the Department of Economic Development here in Virginia Beach. We've been
working with Mr. Shadle and his group for several years on this project, when we
first learned that transatlantic cable was coming in into Virginia Beach, his
12
organization was one of the first that had met with us. Since then we've been
working obviously to get the second cable here and the third one he mentions also
on the way. One of our initiatives through Economic Development in targeting
industries is the data center, transatlantic cable industry. As you probably are
aware, there are several facilities that have already been built nearby this location.
One of them just broke ground the other day. We fill the jobs that will bring in or
technical jobs, IT related jobs, technicians and engineers in the spin off effect that
Mr. Shadle also said was certainly going to help our community. We feel along
with the data centers, if we get enough inertia within those that there could very
well be a second wave of opportunity that could bring companies that need the very
super speed cables to be located very nearby. So, rather than go up to Northern
Virginia, or go out of our area, we think that could be a second wave of companies
that could come right behind the data centers. So with that,Economic Development
does support this project. It is part of the initiative that we have had underway for
several years and that City Council is very aware of, and we look forward to this
project moving forward. Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions to Mr. White? All right. Thank you.
Mr. White: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Our next speaker.
Ms. Sandloop: Dave Pyzewski and then Don Nelson.
Mr. Pyzewski: Madam Chair, members of the Planning Commission, Hello.
13
Ms. Rucinski: You need to state your name for the record please.
Mr. Pyzewski: Dave Pyzewski. The best way to describe this. This is a very interesting project
that is extremely massive, extremely limited in detail and what do I mean? If you
look at that, it looks like a small project but this is just the beginning of an 800 acre
project. This is not the end, this is the beginning. Now I have lived at 1308 Eagle
Wood Drive, I was the first person that ever lived on the 1300 block of Eagle Wood,
I live at the last house. The person will be speaking after me moved in two hours
later. So, we're living there 35 years, I don't know a whole lot about models and
impact studies and all these other things that people are talking about. But, I can
tell you I don't know about these once in a lifetime storms that only flood once in a
lifetime. I live there. I see the flooding. I see what you've done at Oceana. You
build a Dunkin Donuts. You are building the process of a strip mall there and you
built storage units. Oceana floods when there's one inch away. You are talking
about not wanting to put it on Harper's Road, there's a reason they don't want it on
Harper's Road. It floods and Dam Neck floods all the time, so to hear this once in
a lifetime storm that people are talking about. I've lived there, I've seen it. I live
with it, and I deal with it. And what nobody's telling you is about the huge pit that's
back there. There's a massive pit back there that has to be filled in, with what type
of soil, what type of guarantee. It's nice that all these studies and models are here,
but what happens when these people live and this is built and I'm not walking in
my knees up the water to go to 711. Nobody's addressing that, we have a massive
flooding problem there, massive, and it's getting worse every time it rains. I'd also
like to say that we're also hearing about the impact and all the money it's going to
14
bring to Virginia Beach. Nobody wants to said what's it going to cost us? Nobody
wants to said how much is Virginia Beach giving for this? People talk about
meeting with the neighbors. There's never been a meeting setup. Now there is after
the fact you heard Mr. Royal said, oh we are going to have another one. So please
approve this first. Well, that's like, you know, why would you approve something
before you know the facts? And they're asking for something that that is extremely
limited in detail for what they're asking you to do and as far as I do want to clarify
what I think, like I said, I live there. They're talking about, I believe somebody said
Lake Placid was 7000 feet away and Red Wing was and Lake Placid. 4000. No,
no, it's not even close. I don't know where these figures are coming from or who's
doing this geography, but we're nowhere near twice as far away as Lake Placid.
Ms. Rucinski: Sir your time is up.
Mr. Pyzewski:Yeah, okay. I just ask that you defer it versus approve it. Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Anybody have any questions? I have one question for you sir. Can you pull up a
map so that we can, I'd like to know where you live in relationship towards this
project is?
Mr. Pyzewski:Well with the ways that that is done. It's very hard to say but I will try to point it
to you as best I can.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, there is a pointer right there on the podium.
Mr. Pyzewski:I'm not very technologically savvy.
Ms. Rucinski: You need to pick it up.
15
Mr. Pyzewski:Oh this. Oh, I thought you just push the button. Sorry. Where am I pointing? Am
I anywhere on the map? I can't see where I am. I'm colorblind. So I can't, it's
probably see where the thing shaping out is, where it bows to the right, little upper
right corner. So, it's in that area in there where the wooded area is, see they're going
to be, we're doing this, we're taking out a massive amount of trees everywhere and
that's what's causing the flooding. You're taking them out of Oceana. You're taking
them out over here and everywhere and there's also going to be another one built
on the other side of corporate landing. So, this is just the beginning.
Ms. Rucinski: You are up of a Harper's Road?
Mr. Pyzewski:No, where the mark is to the far right, the far right mark, if you come down, there's
a little subdivision in there and I live in there in that trade area, more than likely
from what I can see it's a very poor map for detail.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you.
Mr. Pyzewski:Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Don Nelson and then Christine French.
Ms. Rucinski: Can you state your name for the record?
Mr. Nelson: My name is Don Nelson. And, I live at 1304 Eagle Wood Drive which is pretty
much close to my neighbor, Dave. What I'm concerned with is and I think some of
the board member are dealing with the well thought out plan that there's unintended
consequences to, you know, here they're going to build something with no impact
at all and, you know, I don't believe that at all. I truly believe that this was going to
16
be the first of many other buildings because if this works, they're going to want to
keep building more. And, what the previous gentleman said is the Atlantic cables
like a pipeline, and I go, Well, I believe that and it's going to be dumping water
right in my front yard. I mean, the water has never had flooding like we're having
it now. And, you know, you get an engineering study that says, Well, you know,
either that shouldn't happen, or it'll never happen again for the next 500 years. So,
what if they're concerned about milliseconds and microseconds,there's an industrial
park right across the street over in Dam Neck that's even closer to the undersea
cable than where they're building it right now. So, I don't think they're really
concerned about the speed or anything like that. I don't know why they want to
build there, but the more trees you take out, and to say that there's not going to be
any flooding because of it, there's going to be a big hurricane and the pumps are
going to go out and it's going to be all well, this is 10 times worse than what we
ever expected. And, you know,it's going to make it that much worse for the people
who live there and that's my primary concern. Another thing is like the unintended
consequences that the church builds a school and the next thing, you know, all the
kids from the high school are parking over there. Did any engineer come up with
that was going to happen? No and with that, you know, as far as parking around
there and what will happen as the stages and where the construction workers are
going to have to park you know, I just don't see it looking good for our
neighborhood at all. Thank you very much.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions for Mr. Nelson? Thank you, sir.
Ms. Sandloop: Christine French and then Mary Beth Ruger.
17
Ms. Rucinski: Can you state your name for the record?
Ms. French: Christine French, like the language. Good afternoon Commissioners. All of you
should have received an email in the packet and here's the handout I also made, I
am a resident of Red Wing Subdivision, which currently sits east of the proposed
rezoning and opposed to this rezoning has several concerns. The most important
being flooding. The parcel of land where the proposed development will be is
consistently saturated with water effort rains, the ditch on Harper's Road will hold
water for two to five days after a normal rain. The proposed rezoning as part of the
Southern watershed which drains into the West Neck Creek and is already at its
capacity until the City fixes storm water issues that we already have in that area. I
don't feel that this is something that needs to be rushed into. The developer has
informed us that the BMP on this property is going to drain into the ditches of
Harpers Road. And, we do not need to add something that where there's already a
problem. The flooding on Dam Neck Road between Corporate Landing already
exists, I feel this development is just going to add to the problem. The storm drains
on Dam Neck are either covered or closed when I took pictures which you guys had
in the email. I took those pictures in April in May of 2019. And there's debris,
there's lawn clippings. There's everything else that completely covered the drains.
Our subdivision is one of the highest elevations in Virginia Beach, yet last year
when we had a heavy rain my yard flooded, the neighbor's yard flooded. Our
drainage ditches around the subdivision were also flooded. So, if we keep allowing
the development to continue what's going to happen to people like us, are we going
to be the next Ashville Park or Windsor Woods? I understand that this rezoning is
18
only for 19.38 acres but the overall concept of what they want to build here is going
to encompass over 600 acres, and it will literally be at my back door. So, there
again is concerned about flooding and what it's going to do to our property values.
Right now one of the selling points is our homes that were in a quiet little
neighborhood. How much is that is going to change? My next concern I have is
our subdivision only has one way in and one way out. The development around our
subdivision have totally encroached us into our own subdivision. This parcel of
land is the last vacant property that has not been developed. Once it's developed,
we will be completely surrounded by various developments and we're already
concerned that if there's a medical emergency in our subdivision, we're one mile
back off General Booth. How do we get emergency vehicles in and out? There has
been very little community engagement on this. The only notices that went out
about this through social media so if people were not on social media they didn't
even know that there was anything. Mr. Royal did say he would set something up.
I'm asking you guys to either deny or defer.
Ms. Rucinski: Can you show me there where you live?
Ms. French: Two doors down from them. Here's the school. So, we are right here where your
map ends, right there. Same thing, see Larkview Drive over here, that's us, that's
our subdivision.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Ripley: I'm just curious what other use would you see appropriate here? I mean, and it's in
an AICUZ zone, so it's restricted. So what are the use would you see here?
19
Ms. French: I am not sure.
Mr. Ripley: Okay, thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you,
Ms. Sandloop :MaryBeth Ruger and then Rona Marsh.
Ms. Ruger: Good afternoon. I'm MaryBeth Ruger. I'm not here to take up a lot of your time,
but I oppose this basically because it's an underdeveloped section of Virginia
Beach. Our area hasn't had a chance to reach its potential for flooding. It's already
flooding now and Pungo is an all that area by me. Sandbridge Road area is flooding
to the point where no one can fix it, so how could they fix London Bridge Road
flooding if they have a flooded I mean fixed it now. What's more important
buildings and taking trees down and wildlife dying and coming into our
neighborhoods. I just don't feel like we should junk up a beautiful area with industry
and industrial plants and put it in another area like a City or something not in a nice
beautiful community as Virginia Beach. They're starting to build Wawa now. So,
when Wawa is built then they add more buildings to the beach. What's it going to
do with that there and I had no idea there was a piping. I never even heard about
this piping to recently going under the water that's going to affect wildlife. I mean
sea life also. So, I'm just against all this that I see it's like FernGully or the War X
to me and also the schools. We have several schools that are going from 6:30 in
the morning to 4:15 in the afternoon. This constant motion with these buses, and I
work with the school so I get concerned about it. But, the flooding and the traffic
20
and the accidents are increasing and I just don't think this is good for this section of
the beach at all. So that's all I have to say. Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you. Any questions for Ms. Ruger? All right, thank you.
Ms. Ruger: All right, thanks.
Ms. Sandloop: Rona Marsh, and then Melani Moreno.
Ms. Marsh: Before you start my time, Does Dave Redmond have to be here or does he get to
leave when all the people are opposed to it or speaking? I'm really kind of thinking
about that he left in the middle of Ms. French and then this other lady. I mean, are
we not all going to be heard by all the Commissioners? Is he not going to vote, if
he's not going to vote then it doesn't matter? But, I don't think I've ever been to a
public meeting other than Mayor Sessoms who was refusing himself because of the
TowneBank left in the middle, you know, if he's taking a bathroom break, I
understand that,but I really think he should hear me because I think he's very much
in contact with Mr. Coker, who I think has been a one man whirlwind for himself
for whatever reason about this development and I really think Mr. Redmond needs
to hear me. So I'd rather wait a moment until he comes back.
Ms. Rucinski: Just switch the order of the speaker.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay. Melani Moreno.
Ms. Moreno: My name is Melani Moreno. I'm in opposition of this build, specifically related to
the verbiage that was chosen by the staff evaluation. I'm really concerned that this
build is in the southern watershed. And it will absolutely affect downstream and
21
the reason we know that is because we cannot predict the future. This build is
reviewed by the staff as having potential to successfully comply with stormwater
regulations, but our citizens of the City have donated our tax dollars in confidence
of our City Council to have studies done that will ensure that our City is resilient
against storm water, against sea level rise and those values have not been put out in
such a way that the City Council can now have ordinances that reflect that data.
There's no room for error here. I'm really asking of the Planning Commission to
make a precedent decision. We understand the value of this data center. I use the
internet, my children love their iPads, but there's no reason to rush through
something. If we've spent all this money to get the science,let's get the storm water
values back appropriately. Let's institute those values into the ordinances that are
required to run our City in a resilient manner for the future. I asked that of you
today. This data center is going to have 170,000 square feet of non porous surface.
The square footage of the maintenance yard is 31,500. I see nothing written here
of an attempt to make a non porous surface in that maintenance yard. I see no
verbiage here that reflects absolute confidence or I want to see verbiage as a citizen
that says that this build exceeds expectations. I want to see verbiage here that says
there will be no harm downstream or upstream with the most current data and
engineering solutions. Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions for Ms. Moreno? All right, thank you for your time.
Ms. Moreno: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: The next speaker, Rona Marsh, and then Mark Johnson.
22
Ms. Marsh: Good afternoon, Commissioners. I am Mrs. Rona Marsh, you have emails from
me, and I gave you a handout today. I am here to speak about the Department of
Defense,joint land use study. I think before we rush into this, we need to seriously
understand that the Navy, the Department of Defense, is our biggest employer. I
don't think anyone here would like it if we put that at risk. Those are thousands of
jobs and I mean, thousands of jobs. My husband currently is on a naval vessel.
And, I don't think it would be good for any of us if we live in this economy and
depend on that, to put that at risk for what, 25 jobs at a data center. I'm not
convinced this is the best location for the data center. I have no problem with data
centers, but what about London Bridge? What about some area that doesn't go
through where the joint land you study has identified as an area that floods. On
August 13, I went to this meeting; I sat there for two hours. There were many very
important people there if you didn't get to the meeting, oh, well,there's information
about it online and there's also a news story covering it. And I sent you all a link
while we were in this meeting. The biggest problem I have is when they started
talking about this data center. It was going to be 107,000 square feet. I don't know
what happened between February and now,but we have gone up 63,000 square feet
in impervious surface. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, to me that's over 55%. We are
now at 170,000 square feet, okay? Anybody do math, you figure it out. We need
to have community engagement. There were a few people in February that were
asked about 107,000 square feet. They were not asked about 170,000 square feet
and you talk about your letter from the commander that letter came from him
approving it on 11 February of 19 and it says be aware that our determination is
23
based on the representation of the use and location of the property. So, you've
changed the location on the property and you've changed the representation. You
went from 107,000 square feet to 170,000 square feet. My biggest concern is your
comprehensive plan. Thank you Bobby Tajan for putting this out, today couldn't
have been a better day to get this. This is the document we should be correlating
with, not only should we look at Dewberry, but we should get the community
involvement on this. Because you have in here that you want people to be focused
on stormwater flooding and sea level rise, and it will launch and include extensive
public input regarding 10,000 citizen contacts,we need that. We need to defer this.
We need to get people informed that this is going on. It shouldn't be back door and
push through. Let's take a breath. Let's figure out what's going on here. And let's
remember its 170,000 square feet and that was not what was represented to the
Navy. Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions for this speaker? Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: Mark Johnson and our last speaker is Jared Brandwein.
Mr. Tajan: Madam Chair while he comes up just for the point Mrs. Marsh brought up. We did
contact Mr. Moomaw with Oceana and we received verbal confirmation that the
change in size does not affect his letter. So, we did double check that, we do
understand that was a change in the plan, but we did make contact and we did
review that with the Navy.
Ms. Rucinski: All right, thank you. Can you state your name for the record please?
24
Mr. Brandwein: Yeah, I'm Jared Brandwein. I'm the executive director of the Back Bay
Restoration Foundation. We represent approximately 20,000 members, most of
whom live in the southern watersheds. And we fully support Commissioner
Barnes' position and additional impervious surfaces in our southern watersheds.
Over 33 years, we've been commenting on land use changes like those before you
today. We oppose the transition area, Sherwood Lakes, Ashville Park, and many
other projects the city approved without regard to modern land management
practices. Frankly, we're tired of saying we told you so. In that vein,that's why we
have a legal action pending right now against the Army Corps of Engineers for the
City's hard engineering fix for Ashville Park. We were fully supportive of private
property rights. However, those rights end where communal noses meet especially
when there's no investment backs the expectation that relies on up zoning. In this
case, you have to up zone in order to get this facility in there. It really doesn't make
any difference as an investor because they put money into the planning of this that
they are rewarded with up zoning. That's a risk that you take in a capitalist system.
Increasing impervious surface in the southern watersheds and mostly Hedrick soils
without modern hydrogeomorphology models is a delusional and basically as Steve
said its death by 1000 cuts for the southern watersheds. We feel the City needs to
place a moratorium on up zoning until we can fully evaluate stormwater impacts in
context with sea level rise, subsidence, and modern techniques. No,just a side note
below we respect Mr. Brandwein's opinions. You guys should realize that he was
the lawyer for Sherwood Lakes. I think also Ashville Park, and many other the
poorly planned developments within the southern watersheds. That's about it.
25
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions for the speaker? Thank you very much.
Mr. Brandwein: No questions. Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop: That's all the speakers.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, Mr. Royal would you like an opportunity to set a rebuttal?
Mr. Royal: No question, we need to fix flooding. City of Virginia Beach has committed a lot
of money. They diverted a lot of money to study flooding. It's already underway.
A lot of work has been done. There's still a lot of work to do. There's a lot of fixes
that need to happen. A moratorium on zoning, some people do not want to hear
this, but I mean, you have to have development, you got to control it. It's got to be
quality development, you got to control it. But, the answer is if you're going to
have development, then there is zero impact. The only way we need to do that our
extensive studies, I feel like nobody trust an engineer, but that's exactly what we
do. That's all we can do. We can't, you know, the citizens don't understand the
hydraulics, the systems that we look at, we look at and we have very, very strict
standards right now. That's what we're doing. Putting a little more impervious,
which actually we're not that became a two-story building that's the upsizing there
and obviously, whatever impervious, we're putting on the site is accommodated
with our calculations. Please bring staff up again, ask staff, what they have put us
through and whether or not they are confident that we can do this with no impact.
So, I would appeal to you there that, yes, this is just one project we're talking about.
There's going to be others here. There's going to be others across the City and
watersheds of concern, but we're looking at that very closely. J. Lewis by the way
26
was handed to me during the talk. They don't have a problem with the drainage
there. I've actually got maps where they have colored the areas of concern, but we
don't want the Navy to go away, nobody does. The Navy has approved this
development. They like this development within their easement. So, that's all I got
to say. I will stand by if you have any more questions. Thank you for your time.
Ms. Rucinski: I actually have two. One of the speakers made a comment about this site would be
draining into the ditch on Harpers?
Mr. Royal: Yes maam.
Ms. Rucinski: So is that accurate, that the BMP will drain into that ditch?
Mr. Royal: Correct? I mean, that's the way the outfall goes now. But understand, of course,
that it is held back and it is timed as to when it goes out. It's not just Hey, let's
dump all the water in Harpers and make it worse. That's what we have to figure.
Let the peak of the storm go through so that there's no more impact downstream.
But that's the direction of flow. Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Rucinski: And the other question I had is what caused the increase from the 107 to the 170?
Mr. Royal: Just the user that the intended user wanting more space and again, with going up
two stories. It still fit on the side and there's no real increase in impervious but that's
still and it could be less than that. That's the maximum that would go on there. I
mean, the current user may say I only need 110 and that's all we'll build.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other question?
27
Mr. Wall: Yeah. We focused a lot on storm water, and I hate to switch gears on that because
it's important,but the traffic aspect of this, I know that this data center is only going
to have 30 to 40 new personnel working there, I think total. So it's not a lot, but
you know, we're providing in access off of Dam Neck. And it looks like it's
anticipated, you know,just from new discussion that this is, you know, ultimately
this whole area is about 760 acres and this is just one little cul-de-sac, you know,
often knew this entire development. And so, you know, it's kind of important
because this is, you know, the first, you know, one of the first businesses in this
area to go in. So, you know, it's going to be setting, you know, precedents and you
know, we're providing this access software Dam Neck. You know, I don't know if
you can answer this, but you know, the anticipated businesses that now have are
going to have access to that proposed 110-foot right-of-way. You know, it's going
to increase the traffic that a lot for this but for future businesses in it, it might have
an impact. Why not on the Harpers and I know that Harpers can't support it,but at
least in your larger volume of traffic but you was looked at to widen Harpers to
provide improvements near from the data center down to Dam Neck. You need to
possibly widen at turn lines, maybe that would provide a better access, you know,
left turn lane, you know, you'd have a left turn on to Dam Neck as it puts just right,
I think that's only right out. Is that right? Or is it? Oh, it's gonna be right in?
Mr. Royal: I can answer that. It's very good question though, can you go to the aerial please?
Traffic engineer left. Anyway, very good question, there are existing median
brakes on Dam Neck Road. Dam Neck Road itself is limited access. So, these
median brakes are set up. We've just drawn a cul-de-sac because we have to have
28
a turnaround. We can't leave a stub that's intended to be the first leg of the internal
traffic that would be in here at the appropriate point there might need to be a signal
in there but Traffic Engineering will look at every one of the applications that
comes in. And I wish Rick Lowman was here. He actually spoke to me before the
meeting and said, you're not doing any access on Harpers road are you,because it's
too narrow, it's too dangerous. It's 10-foot lanes with a two-foot shoulder and even
if we could do something on our side, you would still have an issue on the rest of it
which you don't want to encourage that traffic there. We do have an access for
emergency, additional emergency vehicles, but its plan from traffic engineering
from the road design of Dam Neck Road to put all that traffic out there, so yesterday
and very good question. I mean, but it's not just a cul-de-sec for this development.
Mr. Wall: Okay, all right, I've got it. I have got another one. The building is according to
the Comprehensive Plan. It's hoped, planned that an attractive building design be
showcased along key articles and would say that this would qualify the tilt wall
construction is that's, you know,what is that composed of? Is it just concrete block
walls that are just tilted up. Have you got my rendering in there by chance?
Mr. Royal: It's tilt up panel. The intention is to have fenestration to make it look better. I mean
tilt up panel can be very attractive, the Home Depot at Lynnhaven and Princess
Anne actually won a Planning Commission Award that's tilt up panel that has a thin
brick facade on it. So, you can do things with it. It's easier to construct,it's quicker
to construct, it stronger, which they want these things pretty much hurricane proof
because you don't want the data centers to go down, but it looks, planning staff
looks at that to make sure that we're not putting up a ugly just concrete building.
29
Mr. Wall: Okay, what's the landscaping plan? That it kind of makes reference to certain types
of plantings, like a Ha-Ha, the parameters say will be landscaping feature called?
Mr. Royal: Ha-Ha is a ditch which kind of shows there back in I think it was medieval times
that was kind of their barrier wall as opposed to putting up like a jersey barrier
which like you might see in an FBI building, they put in a ditch,which it's a natural
looking thing. And we're still doing landscaping as you can see from the drawing
their front edges, interior parking lot, etc. The ha-ha is just an additional security
measure, but it's a natural thing to where you kind of see a ditch that goes up to
where somebody can't just drive through if they want to go on the facility. I asked
the same question when they said Ha-ha, I wanted to know what that was, yeah,
that's what a Ha-ha is.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other questions? All right, thank you, we will go ahead and close this public
hearing and open it up to discussion amongst the Commissioners. Any questions?
Any comments? Yes. Go ahead.
Mr. Redmond: Well, you can go first.
Mr. Inman: Thank you David.
Mr. Redmond: My pleasure.
Mr. Inman: Preface this by saying. I have a high degree of concern about stormwater
management and the southern watershed and, its protection. I also have a
consciousness about people who have land that they should have a right to develop.
If it can be responsibly developed,and especially property that subject to the severe
30
restrictions that are on this property and that limits the uses that could be made of
this property. We have to take that into account. We're here to make a land use
decision. What's interesting is that, this is a large tract of land that this is carved
out of. This is only as I think I'm correct, say 19 acres is that and the intensity with
which this has been approached in terms of planning and engineering, being
concerned about stormwater management,meeting current regulations,anticipating
future regulation is impressive. I have to take it, we have as a decision making
body have to take the advice that we're getting from professional staff and,the input
we're getting from the applicant and from people who are in opposition. But we
have to accept that we can't create in our minds about what is good or bad
engineering or it's likely to work or whatever. So fortunately, with our concern
about the future, this is a good test. This is probably one of the most conservative
approaches to do stormwater management possible because I think they know what
new regulations are and they knew there was going to be a lot of scrutiny
considering where it's located. So, we will know when this is built that whether or
not it's adequate. It's probably certainly more adequate than anything's been built
before in this area and if there's a problem with it, then we can deal with it. We
would know not to do that in the next iteration, but I'm not saying there's anything
wrong with it. I'm just saying this is a project that is helpful to the city of Virginia
Beach in terms of economic development. It's something I think that the landowner
is entitled to do as much care has been taken to plan it properly and I'm gonna have
to support this application.
Ms. Rucinski: Dave.
31
Mr. Redmond: Before I speak my piece, I know that Elvis has re-entered the building. Come on
up. He's so good at what he does when he leaves the room everything starts coming
apart. Ric Lowman. Mr. Royal was making reference to Harpers road and the
potential for and someone had asked, can you make some access on Harpers road
rather than Dam Neck Road, and he had recounted a conversation that he had with
you and since you got dragged back from your desk, I was just hoping you could
speak to the conditions on Harper Road and the implications of traffic with regard
to this project.
Mr. Lowman: Okay. Well, Dam Neck Road again is an access controlled roadway. We talked
about this before. The fact that there is a median opening there and that it was set
up for some sort of access would say that, you know,there's a plan to level of access
that's meant to be off Dam Neck Road. The way that it was set up would indicate
that it was meant to be a public street, you know, at that intersection because again,
no private access, so we don't want sporadic access all up and down Dam Neck
Road,but a well,you know,a well regulated in a well maintained system of meeting
openings to keep as much of the capacity as we can on Dam Neck Road by limiting
the access points in excess meeting opening. So the fact that one's there, it was set
up for that they're setting this up for the future by providing this public street that
comes off of there, and it probably won't be the last as that, you know, as that
northern portion of, of that property is developed. If it's developed, it will, you
know, feed off of the new road that we're building, or they're building with this. As
far as Harpers Road, Harpers Road is a very narrow road. We do have runoff the
road crashes there, it's not meant for a lot of traffic. And you know, one of the
32
things that we talked about with this is that we didn't want to see access of a Harpers
Road, you know around that that been since Dam Neck Road was there. I won't
say for sure that a signal will be put at Dam Neck in the future at this point, but if
enough development,you know,grows up around it around that roadway,we could
potentially the southern side develops you know,you could potentially see a traffic
signal there but Harpers Road is probably not the best place for access for this site
because of that, now if they improved Harpers Road all the way up to the access
point that could be an option and we did bring that up.
Mr. Redmond: All right, I appreciate your coming back. Sorry to drag away from your desk.
Mr. Lowman: Anymore questions.
Mr. Redmond: I just wanted to address, I'm hoping I'll try and finish up with Mr. Royal and he can
made reference to. Thank you. Sorry, about your finger. Now to my point, one
thing I think, I really am disappointed in is, no one here today it has spoken, I don't
believe enthusiastically enough about this use. There isn't a community on the East
Coast that wouldn't love to have what we have with these Subsea cables landing at
our shore. For years,we have set our three economic pillars are tourism,agriculture
and the military. But we've always wanted to diversify and now we have this
opportunity to diversify into a much higher income, as the gentleman's excellent
point about the return on investment that data centers have 9.5 as opposed to losing
money on residential or a buck and a half off of some other type of industrial use.
This is an unbelievable opportunity for Virginia Beach. This is the beginning of
undersea cables coming to Virginia Beach.The building got bigger not the footprint
33
of the building on the ground, but the building got bigger by adding a second floor
because of demand. What community wouldn't want that? For this kind of use, so
it's a marvelous opportunity for Virginia Beach. And we ought to recognize that
it's not just a warehouse somewhere with a bunch of pallets with, I don't know,
mattress bedding on them and something like that. It's an enormous economic
development opportunity to Virginia Beach. It is a small site, its 10 acres, not 800
acres. It's not 300 acres. This is an application for a 10-acre site,six acres of which
are the pond, three is the building, and one is the road. So those are the facts, not
what else we might say. Those are the facts and it has been over engineers as far
as I can tell on the storm water because that's a mighty big pond for this site. So I
don't know what else we do other than listen to what our City experts are saying.
The engineer says with regard to storm water on this site for this application, not
when the moon is in the seventh house, not about some other, you know, housing
development a decade or a decade and a half ago, when this application, the facts
are clear that it's straight. I just don't see any, you know, any real credible reason
to oppose it. In fact, I'm enormously excited about it. I hope we have more of
these. I hope we have more of the undersea cables. I hope we find more ways to
capitalize on this opportunity. And if we don't, we're crazy. So as I said, there isn't
a community up and down the East Coast that wouldn't like to be in Virginia Beach
issues. I'm sure glad we're in them. And I hope you all will support it. I certainly
will and look forward to the next one. Thanks.
Mr. Ripley: I agree with Dave wholeheartedly. I think that what's being proposed is a very
compatible use, it's exactly what we want to see in this area of the City. And, I
34
think that the opportunity to capitalize, you know, to see all this data flowing
through our City and not be able to capitalize on it,it's very frustrating quite frankly,
I hear we have a business that possibly will and hopefully possibly will grow. I
think it's just tremendous. I don't know what else you would put here that what
other kind of clean industry do we want and this is it. I fully recognize the issues
with drainage, but you know, when Randy Royal mentioned that, this represents
45% of the site versus the 12 to 15% and it tells you something right there. It's
three times the size of your typical storm water systems and that's the emphasis is
there and I'm with Dave, you have to pay attention to what our expert staff is doing
and I'm like, as I mentioned in informal on a couple of applications or a couple of
site plans, we have been in the City very, very the scrutinization is amazing right.
And so I don't think they're missing anything. So I am supporting this.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you, Don.
Mr. Horsley: I'd like for the engineer to come up and give us the short version of what they did
this morning. So we have it for the record about the storm water at this site, storm
water specialist.
Ms. Rucinski: They're fighting over who's gonna come talk to.
Mr. Redmond: Not for the last time.
Mr. Horsley: I think it's important that we have their statement on the record.
Ms. Rucinski: Good observation.
35
Mr. Edwards: My name is Seth Edwards. I am the DSC engineering supervisor with the Planning
Department. Do you have any specific questions you want me to address?
Mr. Horsley: I want to know how this stormwater plan for this site has addressed with the new
issues or the new regulation. The size of it and all if they what kind of impact it's
going to have, is he going to have a zero impact or whatever?
Mr. Edwards: So, the final design will be hammered out during site plan review. At that point, it
will be incorporated into the City SWMM model which is the entire base and 10
which goes all the way through West Neck Creek down to Indian River Road, I
believe. So, it analyzes impact from this site upstream to the end of Harpers Road
where the Basin ends all the way down to West Neck Creek at Indian River Road.
What we will be looking for during site plan review is to make sure that in the two
year storm, 10 years storm and 100 year storm events there is 0.00 increase in the
peak water surface level, at any of the nodes that we have, anywhere in that model,
so 0.00 feet of change.
Mr. Horsley: There's pretty much zero isn't it.
Mr. Edwards: To the one eighth of an inch.
Mr. Horsley: So, you say that the size of this retention pond here is more than enough to
accommodate the runoff from this 170,000 square foot building.
Mr. Edwards: Based on our models, everything shows that there will be no impact upstream
downstream and this can handle the development.
36
Mr. Horsley: And, that's going to hold that water until the flooding water received and then it'll
be released.
Mr. Edwards: Yes,it accounts for the existing tail waters, any high waters that you'd have in West
Neck Creek, and the contributing waters from the rest of the watershed, all the
neighboring developments, neighborhoods, roadways all that.
Mr. Horsley: So, I'm gonna give you this scenario if we didn't do anything,how much better with
this retention be holding more on that 10 acres, than if we didn't do anything to it?
Mr. Edwards: We're looking at equivalent. What's there now is modeled in the existing system.
We show all the farm ditches. We show any planning that would happen on top of
those fields. We show how much runoff happens because of the types of soils that
are there now. And we model the pond in the post development, and it's going to
come out to have the same impact.
Mr. Horsley: Thank you very much.
Ms. Rucinski: Anymore questions? Yes Jack.
Mr. Wall: Yeah, this area is part of that Special Economic Growth Area - 3, identified in the
Comprehensive Plan and which identifies, you know, serious having development
opportunities. So I think that, you know, what's been described with the news
within the recommended policies that are in the Comprehensive Plan. It's the high
quality employment center. It appears to be a relatively attractive building. Mr.
Royal and the Traffic Engineer addressed the traffic issues and it appears that the
storm water has been addressed. So, you know, in my view this meets, you know
37
the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. So, I'm in support of it. It doesn't seem to
be, wasn't well described how this consolidates into a bigger, bigger plan which
was part of the recommended policies and or the especially economic growth area,
but that's it.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other comments? The only comment that I have is would it be possible before
that, I mean it sounds like this is going to be going to council to have the Navy
update their letter before it goes to Council. So, if there are questions on that, that
would be addressed ahead of time.
Mr. Tajan: Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Rucinski: Would anybody like to make a motion? Dave?
Mr. Redmond: Madam Chairwoman, I move approval of the application.
Ms. Rucinski: Do we have a second?
Mr. Ripley: I'll second it.
Mr. Barnes: I have a disclosure to make. I need to disclose that one of my law partners has
been mentioned as counsel. He's counsel to the land owner has not had any real
involvement in this particular matter and has no financial involvement, nor does
anyone else in our firm in this property, so I'll be voting, I will not abstain.
Ms. Sandloop: The vote is open. By the recorded vote of 8-1, agenda item D1 has been approved
pending an updated letter from the Navy.

Dear Mr. Royal:
Thank you for your request for an easement compliance review for the proposed use of 2097
Harpers Road, Virginia Beach, Virginia.
I reviewed an analysis prepared by a Navy Real Estate Contracting Officer and I agree with
the conclusion that the property is subject to restrictions resulting from a Grant of Easement
acquired by the United States of America. Enclosed is a copy of the Review and Findings for
your convenience.
Accordingly, the proposed use of the property, specifically a data center for the storage and
dissemination of data, an office component to manage the facility, and the storage of diesel fuel
for generators, is permitted under the terms of the Grant of Easement owned by the United States
of America
Be aware that our determination is based on the representations of the use and location of the
property. Please be advised the U.S. Navy will periodically conduct random reviews in the field,
of the properties encumbered by covenants and restrictions to ensure that the interests of the
United States are protected.
Thank you for your request for my comments on this matter. My point of contact for this
matter is Mr. Paul Moomaw, who can be reached at (757)433-2678 or via e-mail at

Global Subsea Resurgence
Virginia Beach 0 to 4 in ^'18 months
VINAY NAG PAL& ROB HUDOME
INTERGLOBIX &VIRGINIA BEACH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SEPTEMBER 25, 2018
The Global Resurgence
Subsea Cables have been growing at an astounding rate of
40%CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate). Last couple of
years have seen a major resurgence in the subsea projects
globally. These cables are so crucial to the digital economy,
that close to$10 Trillion in transactions takes place each
day on these cables globally.There are approximately 448
submarine cables in service globally (as of Sep 2018),
representing about 1.2 Million kms of trans-oceanic cable Z ;
deployed under water around the world. The astronomical
growth in demand for capacity on these cables is driven by It
the growth in—data generation by all of us as users, the e'
appetite for data consumption and 'digital everything' 4.0
phenomena taking place around us.
This resurgence in the subsea industry, has led to the '=
formation of many successful new subsea companies, that
we like to refer to as the 'New Age Subsea Companies' such II to*
as—Aqua Comms, Crosslake Fiber, Deep Blue Cable, Indian #! {
Ocean Xchange (IOX), Seaborn Networks, South Atlantic
Express (SAEx) to name a few. There are multiple subsea
projects underway by these companies in various stages of
development spanning the globe and connecting various
continents together.
The content providers and over-the-top (OTT) companies have also been investing significantly in the
subsea cable systems. The number of cable systems that content providers and OTTs have invested in
are—Amazon (3), Facebook (10), Google (14), Microsoft (4).This represents a major paradigm shift in
the industry wherein earlier a large number of [international] consortiums (at times 15-20 companies)
were formed to fund and implement a subsea cable system. Compare that to the present time, when
you have much smaller consortiums (typically 2-3 companies), and a one single company owning,
funding and operating the entire system end-to-end. It costs anywhere from $300-$500M to design and
build one subsea cable system. Various complex steps are involved in the lifecycle including—marine
survey, desktop study, feasibility analysis, permitting, licensing and various other international legal
matters. The lifespan of a subsea cable is—25 years. Several subsea systems across the Atlantic are
nearing their EOL, and this coupled with the exploding demand for capacity together have been the
macro driving forces behind the resurgence taking place around us in the subsea industry.
The Virginia Beach Success Story
Virginia Beach has experienced unprecedented success in attracting new subsea fiber
cable landings on its shores. In the last —18-20 months or so the City of Virginia Beach has
gone from having 0 subsea cables to 4. These 4 subsea cables are in various stages of
development as we speak and will provide a direct and fast connection to different
countries and continents of the world. This is a significant development for the state of
Virginia, which is the #1 data center market in the world and has "70% of the world's
Internet traffic passing through the state.

Terrestrial Fiber
These subsea fiber cables that connect Virginia shoreline to various parts of the world,
are extremely crucial to the digital economy and our ever-so-digital lives. By virtue of
these cables spanning thousands of kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean, the State of
Virginia will have direct, low-latency and high-capacity connectivity to various parts of the
world including:
1. Bilabao, Spain MAREA cable 8 fiber pairs 6600 kms Operational
2. Rio De Janerio, Brazil BRUSA cable 6 fiber pairs 4000 kms Operational
(with BUs in Puerto Rico,San Juan& Fortaleza, Brazil)
3. Cape Town, South Africa SAEx1 6 fiber pairs 11,000 kms Development
(with BUs in Fortaleza, Brazil,Ascension,St. Helena)
4. French Atlantic Coast, France DUNANT 4 fiber pairs 5000 kms Development
The two operational cables — MAREA and BRUSA, both land at Camp Pendelton, a US
military reserve facility in Virginia Beach. The City of Virginia Beach along with the Virginia
Beach Development Authority (VBDA) is evaluating a second alternative and diverse
landing point for subsea cables at Sandbridge Beach. These cables when fully built and
operational, will collectively be interconnecting four continents— North America, South
America, Africa and Europe —thereby making Virginia Beach at the Confluence of 4
Continents. Additionally, there are a few other subsea projects that are under various
stages of consideration in the subsea industry to land in Virginia Beach.
The City of Virginia Beach has been proactively and diligently working with the industry to
make it easy, cost-effective and faster to bring new subsea cables to the port city also
now known as the "Digital Port". Some key initiatives underway by the City of Virginia
Beach include —
• Making the permit process easy for cable landings and Beach MH's
• Reviewing establishment of cable protection zones
• Alternative landing point to Camp Pendleton
• Improving city's conduit infrastructure in Corporate Landing
• Plan for proactively building conduits from Sandbridge to Corporate Landing
Summary
The Global Subsea Resurgence will continue for at least the next 3-5 years. Diverse
landing points and new business models will continue to take the center stage in this
growth. The subsea industry will be working more and more closer with the terrestrial
fiber industry and the data center industry thus enabling the natural convergence of
subsea fiber, terrestrial fiber and data centers.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 25, 2019
TO: Carolyn A.K. Smith, Planning Administrator
FROM: Carrie L. Bookholt, DSC Administrator ate—Th
SUBJECT: Synopsis of Preliminary Stormwater Analysis — DigiPorts, LLC
In response to requests for information at the September 24, 2019 City Council workshop
related to the preliminary stormwater analysis for DigiPorts, LLC (fka NxtVn Data Center)
please see the attached exhibit and narrative summarizing the proposed design below.
A Preliminary Stormwater Analysis was submitted by Kimley-Horn and reviewed by staff in
DSC and Public Works Stormwater Engineering Center. Five submittals and reviews were
completed and after continued refinement of the design by the consulting engineer, staff
concluded and is confident that the proposal can meet all local and state stormwater
requirements.
While meeting or exceeding the current design standards for wet ponds, the stormwater
analysis for this project accounts for the loss of any on site stormwater attenuation post
development, factors in higher rainfall data (NOAA Atlas 14 + 20%) and incorporates and
adjusts for 1.5' sea level rise as recommended by Public Works. The engineering consultant
utilized the City's sophisticated and most up-to-date stormwater model (SWMM) to perform
their analysis and, prior to final site plan approval, the design must demonstrate zero (0.00')
increase in peak water surface elevations (commonly referenced as HGLs) during peak storm
events to the upstream and downstream boundaries over the entire drainage basin (Basin 10)
which is approximately 13,000 acres in size.
The attached land cover exhibit depicts the size and location of the proposed stormwater
management pond and the blue arrows demonstrate overall drainage patterns. The large 5.21-
acre pond is sized to accommodate the runoff generated from the proposed 7.57 acres of
impervious area from the data center and associated parking, and new public street. The pond
is proposed to be 7' deep during normal water levels (4.6' bottom elevation, 11.6' NWL
Page 1
elevation) with 3.2' of freeboard to the top of bank (14.8'). The pond will contain the entire
100-year storm and proposes a peak water surface elevation of 13.76' during these events.
The BMP is proposed to outfall into the existing roadside ditch along Harpers Road. This ditch
drains to the south to Dam Neck Road, then west under Harpers Road, eventually crossing
south under Dam Neck Road to reach West Neck Creek.
To evaluate the changes in elevation of the water surface levels pre-development vs. post-
development, areas and stormwater conveyance systems in the SWMM model are established
and are referred to as nodes. Staff labeled six nodes on the attached exhibit with the
corresponding pre-development and post-development HGL elevations for both the 10-year
and 100-year storms. It's noted that in the preliminary analysis, four of the six nodes show a
nominal increase of 0.04' or just under half an inch increase in HGL during the 10-year storm
and a 0.01' or just over a tenth of an inch increase in the 100-year storm.
Due to the fact the difference in pre/post HGL elevations decreased from the 10-year to 100-
year storm for these four nodes, staff believes this increase is likely due to model fluctuations
from analyzing with such large drainage areas and limited topographic data. Further
refinements would be better suited for, and required with, site plan review when additional
topographic survey information would be available. Based on the provided analysis, and the
unobstructed availability of land should the stormwater facility need to expand during final
design, staff is confident that the stormwater proposal can, and would be required to, be refined
to meet all state and local requirements prior to final site plan approval.
Don't hesitate to let me know if there's additional clarification or information needed to address
the questions raised at the workshop.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: SHENELL LATHAM [Applicant] DONG JO KIM [Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Assembly Use) for the property located at 4604 Pembroke Lake
Circle, Suite 106 (GPIN 1478511874), COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly Use within
a 1,050 square foot unit of an existing commercial building. Specifically, the
applicant proposes to operate an event rental venue to the public for small family
gatherings, such as youth birthday parties, bridal showers, engagement events,
and baby showers. Those renting the venue will be responsible for bringing food
prepared off-site, as there will be no kitchen. The applicant intends to limit the
number of guests to no more than 49 people. Most events will take place in the
evenings, after typical work hours, and on weekends. There will be no significant
modifications to the site or to the exterior of the building. While there is a deficit
of 13 parking spaces for the shopping center, a parking study has been provided
contending sufficient parking.
• Considerations:
This Assembly Use will provide an affordable amenity to the community for small
gatherings and social events. As previously mentioned, the shopping center does
not meet the minimum parking requirement, as 49 spaces are required and only
35 spaces are provided on site. Limited on-street parking is available in the
vicinity. The submitted parking study contends that during typical daytime
business hours there is sufficient parking for all of the uses on the property, as
the venue will operate only during off peak hours. Staff received two letters from
adjacent commercial property owners noting concern that the lack of parking on
this site could lead to overflow parking onto their properties. To address the
parking deficiency, a condition is recommended that limits the hours of operation
of the event venue to evenings and weekends. The Planning Commission placed
this application on the Consent Agenda, and emphasized the need for the
condition to limit the venue's operation. Further details pertaining to the request,
as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report.
• 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.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is proposing to operate an event rental space within a 1,050 square foot unit in the existing
building on the site. Per the Zoning Ordinance, an event venue is classified as an Assembly Use, and as such,
a Conditional Use Permit is required for property in the B-2 Community Business District.
• Specifically, the applicant proposes to rent the venue to the public for small family gatherings, such as youth
birthday parties, bridal showers, engagement events, baby showers,gender reveals, and activities such as
yoga classes, Pilates, and ballet/dance classes. The latter can be done as a matter of right, as the space is
under 7,500 square feet, which is the threshold for an Indoor Recreational Facility.
• Those renting the venue will be responsible for bringing food prepared offsite, by either a caterer or by
themselves, as there will not be a kitchen onsite.
• The applicant intends to limit the number of guests to no more than 49 people; however, the maximum
occupant load will ultimately be determined by the Building Official/Fire Marshall.
• According to the applicant, most events will take place either in the evenings, after typical working hours,
and on the weekends.
• Per the Zoning Ordinance,the site is classified as a shopping center with a parking requirement of one space
per 250 square feet of floor area. This results in a minimum parking requirement of 48 spaces; however,
there are only 35 spaces on the property. Based on this,the applicant submitted a parking study that
contends that there is sufficient parking on the site based on the typical hours of operation of the various
tenants in the building, including parking for the assembly use.
• There will be no significant modifications to the site or to the exterior of the building. The existing box sign
will remain above the entrance; however, the sign face will be modified to display the logo of the
establishment, as shown on page 6 of this report.

Evaluation and Recommendation
This assembly use will provide an affordable amenity to the community for the use of small gatherings and social events.
As previously mentioned, the shopping center does not meet the parking requirement and is short by 13 spaces. The
submitted parking study contends that there is sufficient parking on the site based on the typical hours of operation of
the various tenants in the building, including parking for the assembly use. However, Staff concludes that there are not
enough parking spaces, as the applicant desires to hold events during peak operating hours of the uses within the
building. To accommodate parking on site, Staff recommends that events be limited to off peak hours and weekends, as
noted in condition 5 below.
Based on this, Staff recommends approval of this application, subject to the conditions listed below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and inspections from the Planning Department/Permits and
Inspections Division.The applicant shall secure a Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Official's Office for
use of the existing building as an Assembly Use.
2. The maximum number of occupants of the building shall be as established by the City of Virginia Beach Fire
Marshall.
3. Any on-site signage for the establishment shall meet the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance, and there
shall be no neon, electronic display or similar sign installed on the exterior of the building or in any window, or
on the doors.A separate sign permit shall be obtained from the Planning Department for the installation of any
new signs.
4. The hours of operation will be 6:00 p.m.to 12:00 a.m., Monday through Fridays, Noon to 12:00 a.m. on
Saturdays, and from 2:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. on Sundays.

Conditional Use Permit (Assembly Use)
4604 Pembroke Lake Circle, Suite 106
District—Bayside
August 28, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL-CONSENT
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Next item is item number five, Shenell Latham for a conditional use
permit for assembly use at 4604 Pembroke Lake Circle, Bayside District.
Welcome. Please state your name for the record.
Ms. Latham: Shenell Latham.
Mr. Weiner: All the conditions are accepted?
Ms. Latham: Yes.
Mr. Weiner: Okay, thank you very much. Okay. Is there any opposition to this being placed on
the consent agenda? Hearing none, we will ask Commissioner Redmond to read
this into the record please.
Mr. Redmond:Thank you Mr. Weiner, Madam Chairwoman. This is an application for a
Conditional Use Permit for an assembly use. The site is located in the Bayside
District near the intersection of Pembroke Boulevard and Independence Boulevard
in the northwest part of the City. Applicants are proposing to operate an event
rental space for approximately 1000 square feet in an existing building and what's
classified as a shopping center and for this she intends to rent a space out for
engagement events, bridal showers, gender reveals, small gatherings all food
1
preparation would not occur here but on an off-site location. The use in itself is
fairly ordinary. She proposes or at least has intended to limit the number of guests
to no more than 49 people but the site is a little bit small for the parking requirement
that that would entail. As a result, the City has recommended and applicant has
accepted limitation on the hours to peak times to non-peak times, on the weekends
and on the evenings. The Commission believes that seems to make some sense.
The subject of Conditional Use Permit, if there are any problems with parking or
any other kinds of intrusions that could be revisited at a later date, unless we saw
some wisdom in that. So, we recommend that it be approved by Consent. Thank
you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you Mr. Redmond.
Ms. Smith: Pardon me Mr. Weiner, could we also clarify that condition number one in the staff
report has been eliminated?
Mr. Weiner: I apologize. Thank you for catching me on that. There was an error condition,
number one, about the approval of the Health Department. It is not necessary and
so this is done with striking condition number one because it simply is not
applicable through the off-site food preparation, thank you Carolyn.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you Mr. Redmond. Madam chair that was all the items on the Consent
agenda, I move for approval items one, three, five, eight, and 10.
Ms. Rucinski: Do we have a second? The vote is open.
2
Ms. Sandloop: Mr. Ripley, could we get your vote please? By the recorded vote of 9-0, agenda
items one, three, five, eight and 10 have been approved by consent.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you. I would like to thank all the applicants that have been here today with
a matter on the Consent agenda. Those items will now be scheduled on the City
Council agenda for hearing. You're welcome to stay or you can leave if you like.
Okay, the next order of business will address the remaining items on the agenda.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: MICHAEL CARLSON [Applicant] WILLIAM D. FRIERSON, III [Owner]
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (Automotive Repair Garage) for property
located at 1181 Jensen Drive (GPIN 2417434300) COUNCIL DISTRICT —
BEACH
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for an Automotive Repair
Garage within an existing 1,500 square-foot unit of a larger commercial building in
an industrial park along Birdneck Road. The applicant proposes to offer
maintenance services such as tune ups, oil changes, air conditioning and brake
work. The applicant does not intend to do any body work or painting of vehicles.
All work and the storage of materials will occur within the building. No changes are
proposed to the exterior of the building and no signage is proposed at this time.
• Considerations:
The properties in the industrial park have a history of automotive repair since at
least the 1990s. The property is in the Accident Potential Zone 1, the greater than
75 dB noise zone and is impacted by a Navy Restrictive Easement. This request
will be consistent with the other automotive uses along Jensen Drive, and is
deemed a compatible use in the greater than 75 noise zone and the Accident
Potential Zone 1, per the AICUZ overlay. The applicant provided Staff with an
easement compliance letter from the Navy stating that the proposed use is
acceptable under the terms of the easement. No changes are proposed to the
building, and the parking provided on-site can accommodate both the existing
businesses and the proposed use. A letter of support was provided from the
Seatack Civic League, and there was one speaker in opposition at the Planning
Commission public hearing. The speaker's specific concerns were related to
potential violations of the Zoning Ordinance throughout the industrial park. The
Zoning enforcement Staff is working with the condominium association and the
individual unit owners to address any violations.
Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's 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 9-0.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate an Automotive Repair Garage. The business will
occupy a 1,500 square foot unit within a larger three-unit, 6,050 square foot building on Jensen Drive in the
Seatack Area of Virginia Beach. According to the applicant, the building is currently occupied by a gym and a
surfboard manufacturing shop.
• The auto garage will provide maintenance services such as oil changes, air conditioning and suspension repair,
brake work, typical tune ups,tire installation, engine changes and rebuilds, radio and lighting installation, and
transmission repair.
• The applicant does not intend to do any body work or painting of vehicles within the unit. All work and the
storage of materials will occur within the building.
• There will be no changes to the exterior of the building and no signage is proposed at this time.
• There are 20 parking spaces on the site. The parking provided on-site meets the requirements of Section 203 of
the Zoning Ordinance for all of the uses on the site. The existing surfboard manufacturing shop requires just one
space (one space per employee on a maximum working shift),the indoor gym requires 10 spaces (one space per
200 square feet of floor area) and the proposed automotive repair garage requires two spaces (one space per
900 square feet of floor area). 13 spaces are required for all uses in the building,the parking requirement is
exceeded by seven parking spaces.
• According to the applicant, service is provided by appointment only. Based on this,the need for a vast number
of parking spaces is unnecessary. While there is only one Bay in this unit,the applicant states that there will only
be up to three cars on the site at any given time.
• During the applicant's transitional move to this location, several vehicles were stored on the grassy area on the
western side of the building. The applicant and the property owner were unaware that this was not permitted
without the Conditional Use Permit, and the cars have been removed. Staff has recommended a condition to
eliminate the storage of vehicles on this portion of the site. Vehicles will be parked in the spaces designated for
1181 Jensen Drive.
• The typical hours of operation will be 10:00 a.m.to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 12:00 p.m. —5:00
p.m. on Saturdays. While there is currently one employee, it is anticipated that up to two employees will work
on the site.

Evaluation and Recommendation
The request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate an Automotive Repair Garage will be, in Staff's opinion, consistent
with the other automotive uses along Jensen Drive, and is deemed a compatible use in the greater than 75 noise zone
and the Accident Potential Zone 1. As stated previously, no changes are proposed to the building, and the parking
provided on-site can accommodate both the existing businesses and the proposed use. In addition,the applicant
contacted the Seatack Civic League and informed them of the details of the request. A letter of support was provided to
Staff by the civic league as a result of this contact.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. All on-site signage must meet the requirements and regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. A separate permit from the Department of Planning& Community Development is required for any new signage
installed on the site.
3. There shall be no signs that contain or consist of pennants, ribbons, streamers, spinners,strings of light bulbs, or
other similar moving devices on the site or on the vehicles. There shall be no signs which are painted, pasted, or
attached to the windows, utility poles,trees, or fences, or in an unauthorized manner to walls or other signs.
4. There shall be no portable or nonstructural signs or electronic display signs on the site.
5. No motor vehicles in a state of obvious disrepair shall be stored outside of the property. All such vehicles shall
only be permitted to be stored within the building.

6. There shall be no parking or storage of motor vehicles in the grassy area on the western side of the building.
7. There shall be no outside storage of equipment, parts, tires or materials.
8. No motor vehicle repair work shall take place outside of the building.
9. No motor vehicles shall be parked within any portion of the public right-of-way.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan

The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within the Suburban Focus Area 9, Historic Seatack. Seatack
is an integral part of the Resort Area and,while primarily a residential community with supporting religious institutions
and public facilities, it also includes some businesses and light industry. Much of the area is constrained by the highest
noise zones, Navy restrictive easements and the Special Flood Hazard Area. Recommendations for this area include
adherence to the Special Regulations in Air Installations Compatible Use Zones, a careful mix of compatible land uses
that contribute to the day-to-day life of community residents, and discouragement of uses incompatible with existing
residential.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural
features associated with the site.

Mr. Michael Carlson

Virginia Beach,VA 23462
Dear Mr.Carlson:
Thank you for your request for an easement compliance review for the property located at
1181 Jensen Drive,Virginia Beach,Virginia.
I reviewed an analysis prepared by a Navy Real Estate Contracting Officer and I agree with
the conclusion that the property is subject to restrictions resulting from a Declaration of Taking
by the United States of America. Enclosed is a copy of the Review and Findings for your
convenience.
Accordingly,the proposed use of the property as an automotive repair station is permitted
under the terms of the Declaration of Taking,provided that any office space is maintained only
in connection with the automotive repair station,and that any petrochemicals stored on site are
incidental to the automotive repair station.
Be aware that our determination is based on the representations of the use and location of the
property. Please be advised the U.S.Navy will periodically conduct random reviews in the field
of the properties encumbered by covenants and restrictions to ensure that the interests of the
United States are protected.
Thank you for your request for my comments on this matter. My point of contact fur this
matter is Mr.Paul Moomaw,who can be reached at(757)433-2678 or via c-mail at
paul.moomaw(a..navy.mil.

Mr. Wall: Motor swaps, okay, tire installation. Okay. No, no auto body?
Mr. Carlson: No sir. No paint, no auto body.
Mr. Wall: No auto body, okay.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other questions? All right. You'll have an opportunity to rebut. Can you call
the next speaker, please?
Ms. Sandloop: Yes, ma'am. We have one speaker, Craig Blessing. Mr. Blessing.
Mr. Blessing: Good morning Madam Chair, Commission. My name is Craig Blessing. I'm from
the Alice Creek Commerce Center and I'm here representing our president of the
association, Albert Jensen. The property owner on 1181 Jensen Drive to our
understanding is operating two different businesses and are applying for one
Conditional Use Permit. And we feel that this violates the zoning use of I-1
property. As a unit owner, I'm asking to request that the condition number nine be
clarified. Right now, the unit tenant is located 1181 Jensen Drive, we believe that
he's doing automotive work and the other is selling wholesale vehicles that are
brought in and dropped off. They're currently using two different properties for
storing vehicles located on Jensen Drive one is a surf shop located 1171 Jensen
Drive and the other is Caliber Collision located at 1121 Jensen Drive. I've also
noticed as being a property owner that on the weekends, they work on vehicles
2
outside on the street at night and also on the weekends. They're currently using
Caliber Collision for storage at the moment. They're also using other properties as
well for storage and we're asking that the status be changed on Jensen Drive that no
vehicles be parked on the street. I also looked up online this morning, Elite Auto
Works. They're operating as a limited liability company and I noticed them this
state corporation commission that their status has been canceled. I don't know what
that means, so other than the fact that that's what I have. Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions for Mr. Blessing?
Mr. Ripley: So, what are the two businesses that, one of them we know is an application for
this?
Mr. Blessing: Correct.
Mr. Ripley: What's the other business and how does it relate?
Mr. Blessing: The other gentleman is operating. They're bringing in BMWs into the facility, and
they're just dropping them off. We don't know what they're doing with them other
than they're storing in there on two different properties.
Mr. Ripley: Side by side or something?
Mr. Blessing: His name is Alexander Enchieko. He's operating BeamerTech and I believe they're
operating together. But they're operating two different businesses on the same
application and for what they're doing now that they're requesting.
Mr. Ripley: Okay, thank you.
3
Mr. Blessing: Yes sir.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other questions?
Mr. Ripley: Maybe we can get the staff to address this.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay.
Mr. Ripley: To see what they know about this.
Ms. Rucinski: Do you have any other information?
Ms. Smith: I would suggest that you hear from the applicant and maybe get some clarification
and then we can see if there might be a zoning violation out there that we need to
investigate.
Ms. Rucinski: So Mr. Carlson, would you come back to the podium please?
Mr. Carlson: So, as to the other business that's in the same complex. They have their own
business,their own lease. They do what they want to do. I'm applying for my own
business. I don't have cars parked on the street. I don't have cars stored in a surf
shop or Caliber Collision. I have none of what he just came up with it. I am my
own person. I'm here to apply for myself.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay. Any other questions?
Mr. Inman: Jensen Drive, is that a private road or is that a public road? It's part of a
condominium?
Mr. Carlson: Its whole complex of like industrial. I believe it's private.
4
Mr. Tajan: It is a private road.
Mr. Carlson: Private road.
Mr. Tajan: Yes, it is. Just to clarify also, there was a condition that was edited, I believe it's in
your reports now that the vehicles that are scheduled to be repaired for this user is
to be parked at the property at his condo unit, not elsewhere on the property, as we
noted during the informal.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, so you're not opposed to that because he said they were being parked on the
street.
Mr. Carlson: I don't have anything parked on the street. I can't speak for anybody else,but I don't
have anything parked on the street.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other questions? Anything else you'd like to ask?
Mr. Carlson: Thank you.
Ms. Rucinski: All right. Thank you. Is there no other speakers?
Ms. Sandloop: No ma'am.
Ms. Rucinski: With no other speakers, let's go ahead and close this for discussion amongst the
Commissioners. Any discussion?
Mr. Redmond: Oh I would just say briefly, I don't know how else we deal with the parking
issue other than we have a condition that says you got to park on site and then as
we discussed this morning, and there's an enforcement issue that goes into that;
however, that's done. So, I mean, that gentleman indicates he's not parking cars on
5
the street. We have a condition that says you got to park on site. I think that has to
be sufficient. So, I thought.
Ms. Rucinski: And he indicated he didn't have a relationship with the business next door, so.
Mr. Wall: I mean, there are plenty, quite a few conditions in here concerning that working on
the vehicles outside of the business, keeping the vehicles that are in the state of
disrepair inside the building, few vehicles outside, the amount of grassy area.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other discussion? Will someone like to make a motion?
Mr. Ripley: I'll make a motion that we may for approval of item number two.
Mr. Redmond: Second.
Mr. Rucinski: Who second that?
Mr. Redmond: That was me.
Ms. Sandloop: Okay,vote is open. By the recorded vote of 9-0, agenda item number two has been
approved.
Ms. Rucinski: All right, thank you, can we call the next item?

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: CHRISTINA MARCHIONE [Applicant] BRUCE & SUSAN WHITAKER [Owner]
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (Automotive Repair Garage) for property
located at 2601 Production Road, Unit 102 (GPIN 1496884067) COUNCIL
DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for an Automotive Repair
Garage within an existing 3,000 square-foot unit of a larger industrial warehouse
building in the London Bridge Industrial Park. The applicant specializes in motor
vehicle painting and body restoration work. It is the intent to offer these services
directly to auto dealers, rather than to the general public. There will be no
significant modifications to the site or to the building.
• Considerations:
Much of this area is subject to Navy restrictive easements and within the highest
noise zone. The majority of the land in the vicinity is zoned for commercial and
industrial uses. The property is located in the Accident Potential Zone 2, the
greater than 75 dB noise zone, the Special Economic Growth Area — 3 West
Oceana. Based on this, the proposal is deemed compatible with the AICUZ
overlay and other industrial uses in the vicinity, and is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's land use policies for this area, which calls for development
in accordance with the AICUZ regulations. Additionally, the site is encumbered by
a Navy Restrictive Easement, and as such, the applicant provided Staff with an
easement compliance letter from the Navy stating that the proposed use is
acceptable under the terms of the easement. Further details pertaining to the
request, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report.
There is no known opposition to this application.
• 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. A separate permit from the Department of Planning & Community Development
is required for any new signage installed on the site.
Christina Marchione

2. There shall be no signs that contain or consist of pennants, ribbons, streamers,
spinners, strings of light bulbs, or other similar moving devices on the site or on
the vehicles. There shall be no signs which are painted, pasted, or attached to
the windows, utility poles, trees, or fences, or in an unauthorized manner to
walls or other signs.
3. There shall be no portable or nonstructural signs or electronic display signs on
the site.
4. No motor vehicles in a state of obvious disrepair shall be stored outside on the
property. All such vehicles shall only be permitted to be stored within the
building.
5. There shall be no outside storage of equipment, parts, tires, or materials.
6. No motor vehicles shall be parked within any portion of the public right-of-way.

easement held on the property. Much of this area is subject to Navy restrictive easements and all of this area is within
the AICUZ high noise zone.The majority of the land in the vicinity is zoned for commercial and industrial uses.

Dear Ms.Marchione:
Thank you for your request for an easement compliance review for the property located at
2601 Production Road,Virginia Beach,Virginia.
I reviewed an analysis prepared by a Navy Real Estate Contracting Officer and I agree with
the conclusion that the property is subject to ratiictions resulting from a Grant of Easement
acquired by the United States of America. Enclosed is a copy of the Review and Findings for
your convenience.
Accordingly,the proposed use of the property for an automotive painting service,as well as
related office space,is permitted under the terms of the Grant of Easement. Should you oar a
showroom please note that no more than 700 square feet of gross building area is permitted to be
used for a showroom.
Be aware that our determination is based on the representations of the use and location of the
property. Please be advised the U,S.Navy will periodically conduct random reviews in the field.
of the properties encumbered by covenants and restrictions to ensure that the interests of the
United States are protected.
Thank you for your request for my comments on this matter. My point of contact for this
matter is Mr,Paul Moomaw,who can be reached at(75T)433-2678 or via e-mail at

Evaluation and Recommendation
The requested Conditional Use Permit for operation of a Family Day-Care Home in the R-7.5 Residential District, in Staff's
opinion, is consistent with the intent and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Family Day-Care Homes provide a valuable
community service. When properly operated on a small scale, this use does not diminish the character of residential
areas but instead enhances the community quality of life by providing a convenient and quality service.
The applicant has requested to provide day-care services for a maximum of 12 children. A Family Day-Care Home with
four or less children is permitted by right in residential districts. When the number of children cared for increases to five
or more children, excluding the provider's own children and those who reside in the home, both state licensure and a
Conditional Use Permit are required. The Virginia Department of Social Services (DSS) has adopted a point system to
Monica Yvonne Lancaster
Agenda Item 8
Page 2
regulate child care services which allows DSS to consider factors specific to each home (e.g., an elderly person residing in
the home who requires care).
The subject site fronts Colebrook Drive, a 50-foot wide public right-of-way. Colebrook Drive is a dead-end road that is
substandard since it does not have the adequate space for vehicles to turn around.The property has a 30-foot by 16-
foot driveway that is used for vehicles to turn around. In addition,on street parking is available on both sides of
Colebrook Drive.Since the drop-off and pick-up times are staggered throughout the day, Staff does not find vehicular
congestion to be a concern for the proposed use.To ensure traffic congestion doesn't arise due to the daycare
operation, Staff recommends a condition to limit the use of the property to only one home occupation.
Recommended Conditions
1. The Family Day-Care Home shall provide care for no more than 12 children at any one time,excluding the
provider's own children and those who reside in the home.
2. The Family Day-Care Home shall have no more than one additional employee/volunteer,who does not reside in
the home, on the premises at any time.
3. The applicant/owner shall maintain a six-foot privacy fence around the perimeter of the rear yard for the
duration of the use.
4. This Conditional Use Permit is limited to the applicant only.
5. The arrival and departure times shall be staggered to avoid vehicular congestion.
6. There shall be only one Home Occupation, the Family Care-Day Home, operating on the property associated
with this Conditional Use Permit.
7. Any sign identifying the Home Occupation shall be non-illuminated, not more than one square foot in area,and
mounted flat against the residence.
8. Prior to operation of the proposed use,the applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and inspections from the
City of Virginia Beach and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Official's Office for use of the
house as a Family Day-Care Home.
9. The applicant shall maintain a license with the Virginia Department of Social Services for childcare.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes and
Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of Planning/
Development Services Center and Department of Planning / Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.

District—Centerville
August 28, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL-CONSENT
Mr. Weiner: Next item is item number eight. Monica Yvonne Lancaster for conditional use
permits for a family daycare center at 1505 Colebrook Drive, Centerville district.
Welcome. Please state your name for the record.
Ms. Lancaster:Monica Lancaster.
Mr. Weiner: All the conditions acceptable?
Ms. Lancaster:Yes.
Mr. Weiner: Okay. Thank you very much. Is there any opposition for this item to be placed on
a consent agenda? Hearing none, I will ask Commissioner Inman to read this into
the record please.
Mr. Inman: Thank you, David. This is a conditional use permit for family daycare located at
1505 Colebrook Drive. This property is located in the middle of a largely populated
residential area and for the past two years the applicant provided daycare services
for up to four children in her residents in the Lake Christopher neighborhood. The
parcel was about 8700 square foot and has an outdoor playground in the rear yard
enclosed by six-foot privacy fence. Typically the hours of operation are 7:30 am
to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday, and there's one full-time employee and the
1
primary provider. The use permit for operation family daycare is consistent with
the intent and goals of the comprehensive plan. The applicant requested a
maximum of 12 children. Family daycare home with four or less does not require a
permit but will have to get at least use permit for more than that, so we're going to
approve this by consent for 12. Staff recommends that we approve it. There are
nine conditions on it,which the applicant has stated are acceptable and on that basis
the commissioners recommended it be approved by consent.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you Mr. Inman. Madam chair that are all the items on the consent agenda, I
move for approval items one, three, five, eight, and 10.
Ms. Rucinski: Do we have a second? The vote is open.
Ms. Sandloop: Mr. Ripley, could we get your vote please? By the recorded vote of 9-0, agenda
items one, three, five, eight and 10 have been approved by consent.
Ms. Rucinski: Thank you. I would like to thank all the applicants that have been here today with
a matter on the consent agenda. Those items will now be scheduled on the city
council agenda for hearing. You're welcome to stay or you can leave if you like.
Okay, the next order of business will address the remaining items on the agenda.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: T & S LAWN & LANDSCAPING, LLC [Applicant & Owner] Conditional Use
Permit (Bulk Storage Yard) for property located at 400 Davis Street (GPIN
1467483476), COUNCIL DISTRICT — KEMPSVILLE
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2019
• Background:
The existing 16,000 square foot lot is currently developed with a concrete block
storage building. The applicant intends to develop the site with a commercial
landscaping business, which can be done as a matter of right, and is requesting a
Conditional Use Permit for a Bulk Storage Yard. The storage area will contain
vehicles and equipment associated with the business, as well as landscaping
materials such as plants, soil, mulch and pavers. Existing fencing on the site is a
mix of chain link and wood, which does not meet the Category VI screening
requirement of a solid six-foot fence with plants.
• Considerations:
The applicant is requesting a deviation to the screening requirement, noting the
high cost of replacement fencing and plant material, and the reduction in storage
area. As a result of the deviation request, the Planning Commission recommends,
in a revised Condition 1 below, that Category VI screening be installed along the
northern and western boundaries of the storage yard, and that only a new solid
six-foot fence be required along the eastern and southern boundaries. Much of the
properties along Davis Street are commercial and service uses. Specifically,
where the screening deviation is recommended by the Planning Commission, the
use to the east is an office warehouse, while the property to the south is an auto
repair shop. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation,
are provided in the attached Staff report. Staff is not aware of any opposition to
this application. Following the staff briefing with City Council of upcoming
Planning items on September 24th, Condition No. 4 was added to limit the height
of the storage of bulk materials.
• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission passed
a motion to recommend approval of this request by a vote of 9-0.
1. Category VI landscape screening, as described in the Virginia Beach
Landscaping Guide, shall be installed and maintained around the perimeter of
the Bulk Ste, �ard,as depicted on he exhibi entity "Staff Recomr end
T & S Lawn & Landscaping, LLC

s beeR cxhibitcd to the C+ty Council and is on file in the
Planning Department along the northern and western boundaries of the Bulk
Storage Yard. A new solid six-foot fence shall be installed and maintained
along the eastern and southern boundaries of the Bulk Storage Yard.
2. All outdoor lighting shall be shielded to direct light and glare onto the premises;
said lighting and glare shall be deflected, shaded, and focused away from all
adjoining property. Any new outdoor lighting fixtures shall not be erected any
higher than fourteen (14) feet.
3. Storage containers shall not be stacked.
4. The bulk storage of materials on site shall not exceed 10 feet in height, must
be located in the storage area depicted on the plan, and not be located past
the front of the building towards Davis Street.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The applicant intends to develop the site with a commercial landscaping business. Also proposed is a Bulk
Storage Yard,which requires a Conditional Use Permit, for the storage of vehicles and equipment associated
with the business, as well as landscaping materials,such as plants,soil, mulch and pavers. A 20-foot wide gate
for vehicles and a five-foot wide pedestrian gate are proposed.
• The 16,000 square-foot lot is currently developed with a concrete block storage building. The applicant intends
to construct a new 600 square foot metal-on-slab office building that will attach to the existing building.
• The typical hours of operation will be 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. It is anticipated that up to
two employees will work on the site.
• Existing fencing on the site is a mix of high chain link and wooden fences,which the applicant proposes to retain
on the northern, southern and eastern property lines. Based on this, a deviation to the required Category VI
screening (a solid six-foot tall fence with evergreen shrubs) surrounding the Bulk Storage Yard is requested.
• However, Staff has provided a Recommended Site Layout, on page 7 of this report,which depicts the required
Category VI landscape screening surrounding the Bulk Storage Yard,which consists of a six-foot tall solid fence
with evergreen plant material.

Evaluation and Recommendation
In Staff's view,the request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Bulk Storage Yard is acceptable. Properties fronting Davis
Street and Virginia Beach Boulevard in this part of Virginia Beach are typically commercial and service uses.
As noted above,the applicant proposes to retain the existing fencing on the northern,southern and eastern property
lines without plants,and requests a deviation to the required Category VI screening.The applicant notes the high cost of
replacement fencing and plant material, and the reduction in storage area as reasons for the deviation.Section 228 of
the Zoning Ordinance requires that a Bulk Storage Yard be entirely screened with Category VI landscaping,which
includes a solid fence, not less than six feet in height,with plants along the exterior of the fence. The applicant is
requesting that this deficiency be addressed through the provisions of Section 221 (i)of the Zoning Ordinance,which
allows City Council to grant deviations from required landscaping if"for good cause shown upon a finding that there will
be no significant detrimental effects on surrounding properties." Staff concludes that a deviation is not warranted as
the adjacent properties will all have a direct view into the storage area and the yard is not surrounded by plantings.
Therefore,Staff recommends that this deviation not be approved, and has provided a condition to reinforce this
position.
Based on these considerations,Staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. Category VI landscape screening, as described in the Virginia Beach Landscaping Guide,shall be installed and
maintained around the perimeter of the Bulk Storage Yard as depicted on the exhibit entitled"Staff
getaa4=tment along the northern and western boundaries of the Bulk Storage Yard. A new solid six-foot fence
shall be installed and maintained along the eastern and southern boundaries of the Bulk Storage Yard.
2. All outdoor lighting shall be shielded to direct light and glare onto the premises;said lighting and glare shall be
deflected,shaded, and focused away from all adjoining property. Any new outdoor lighting fixtures shall not be
erected any higher than fourteen (14)feet.
3. Storage containers shall not be stacked.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this property as being within the"Suburban Area." Guiding principles have been
established in the Comprehensive Plan to guard against possible threats to the stability of the Suburban Area and to
provide a frame work for neighbors and places that are increasingly vibrant and distinctive.The Plan's primary guiding
principle for the Suburban Area is to create"Great Neighborhoods," and to support those neighborhoods with

complementary non-residential uses in such a way that working together the stability and sustainability of the Suburban
Area is ensured for now and in the future.

T &S Lawn & Landscaping, LLC
Conditional Use Permit(Bulk Storage Yard)
400 Davis Street
District—Kempsville
August 28, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Ms. Sandloop:Yes ma'am. It is agenda item number nine, T & S Lawn & Landscaping LLC, an
application for a Conditional Use Permit for a Bulk Storage Yard on property
located at 400 Davis Street in the Kempsville District. Will the applicant or the
applicant's representative, please step forward.
Ms. Rucinski: Can you state your name for the record, please?
Mr. Ferguson: My name is Stephen Ferguson.
Ms. Rucinski: Can you go ahead and let us know about your application?
Mr. Ferguson: The application for the conditional use permit,we're going to install a new building
there, where the house was demolished on the data street side, and we're going to
lease this out to a landscape company, not T & S, a different landscape company
and we've agreed with. I guess, during this informal meeting this morning, they
have eliminated the landscape on the lot 23 and the 27 side, but wanted us to put
new landscaping, I mean, a new fence there, is that correct?
Mr. Tajan: It is correct.
Mr. Ferguson: And I have a question on why new fence there because there's a fence there
currently, would be one of my questions. Other than that, I can agree with
1
landscaping on the lot 28 side and we already agreed to landscaping where the gate
is. So I just have a question on why you would require me to take a fence that's
currently there and replace it because it's a solid wood fence now and then the fence
along, if you can go back one slide, that'd be awesome. The lot 23 sites, there's an
existing chain link fence there that the building next to us is a mechanic repair shop.
It's an old fire station that currently has a chain link fence there now and for us to
put a fence right up against the fence that make a lot of sense, in my opinion. And
there's a building on that side most of that side anywhere and it's not visible. You
can't visibly see in that side of the yard from any part of the street. So I would ask
that we recommend not putting a new fence on the back and keep the existing chain
link fence on the corner that picture on the right side.
Ms. Rucinski: Any questions?
Mr. Weiner: So we rode out there last week and looked at it and we'd like to see things cleaned
up. You're not the only one that this happens to,if you're going to go to bulk storage
yard this happens to other people too. But I thought we're being fair about taking
away the class six landscaping part of that because of the fact that there's something
there already. There's an easement behind on the east side and to keep the fence
from coming all the way into the garage door so wouldn't block the garage door for
them to get out there. So we thought about that also. And I think it's fair what
we've asked to do instead of having you landscape also just replace the fence
because needs to be cleaned up a little bit.
Mr. Ferguson: Okay, so we're talking about replacing this fence?
2
Mr. Weiner: That's right,but no landscaping that can get back right up to the easement to where
the, well, I'm saying that correctly,right, Bobby,the property line because there's a
drainage that's back there, the east fence.
Mr. Tajan: It was my understanding with permission that you wanted a six-foot solid fence all
the way around the property line and then the landscaping to be facing Davis Street
right here and the north side there.
Mr. Ferguson: Oh I am in agreement with all that, I'm happy that y'all made that change.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Ferguson: And I'll be more than happy that this side move the fence or.
Mr. Weiner: It doesn't have to be six feet, this just enough it doesn't block the door. We agreed
to that also because we don't want the door to be blocked that way you will have
access out of the building.
Mr. Ferguson: Exactly. Thank you. But we're going to be cleaning up the site. We're going
through the plans, review stormwater and everything else to get the other building.
So, you know, the cleanup of the whole thing for taking down some trees. So the
property is getting cleaned up 100% and that back fence would be getting repaired.
If I can have y'all that we would repair anything missing in that fence instead of
replace?
Mr. Weiner: Well, instead of having you a new fence and landscaping, we're taking the
landscaping away.
Mr. Ferguson: Okay.
3
Mr. Weiner: So we're taking a lot away from making you do that.
Mr. Ferguson: Okay and then putting a fence here, yeah, as I understand it, you want me to put a
six-foot solid fence here too against another fence.
Ms. Rucinski: What's the other fence that's there?
Mr. Weiner: Chain link.
Mr. Ferguson: It's a chain link fence and building, like there's building two here, and then there's
only chain link fence in the back. So if you go to the next slide, you can see that
building that's there.
Ms. Rucinski: I think part of the purpose of that is so that what's in the storage area is not visible
from the neighbors and that's why they're asking for a solid fence.
Mr. Weiner: Yeah, the nature of its bulk storage, and the idea is that you allow it in the area, it
will be screened so people don't see what's being stored inside there. So that's the
whole idea. So, you know, the idea of not having to landscape a couple of those
areas seems like that's a practical thing to do and I see what you're saying about
your chain link fence, but we still want the visual blockage so he could probably
run up to the building.
Mr. Ferguson: Okay.
Mr. Weiner: If I get you what you need that would work, I would think.
Mr. Ferguson: This is certainly going all the way down.
Mr. Weiner: No reasons are on the fence next to the building. It's right on the property line.
4
Mr. Ferguson: Yes sir. There's about nine inches I think there.
Mr. Weiner: You can tie into it somehow. I don't know.
Mr. Ferguson: Yeah,me and the neighbor have, as far as I know,pretty good relationship, so yeah.
I would be in agreement with that, I can do that. Okay.
Ms. Rucinski: Any other questions for the applicant? Okay, thank you, next speaker.
Mr. Ferguson: There are no speakers, ma'am.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay. So there are no other speakers. We'll close this public hearing and open it
up to comments from the Commission.
Mr. Weiner: I second. Yeah, I just think it provides consistency in the quality of the materials
and you complete screening around that. The bulk storage,you know, aspect of the
property so I certainly concur with that what has been discussed.
Ms. Rucinski: Did we have to change those conditions?
Mr. Tajan: Yes. I think we need to go and clean that up. Ms. Smith, do you have a proposal?
Ms. Smith: Yes. I believe it's been handed out to you.
Mr. Tajan: So the condition should read, the solid fence shall be installed along the perimeter
of the property with category six landscaping to be installed on the western and
northern portions of the property line as depicted on the plan, is that correct Ms.
Smith?
Ms. Rucinski: This doesn't say.
5
Mr. Tajan: I know that doesn't say that. That's why I am trying to clarify.
Ms. Smith: So it says the Category-six is required everywhere except along the eastern and the
southern where all you have to do is a solid fence.
Ms. Rucinski: I missed that exception.
Ms. Smith: The Eastern and the southern. Is that right?
Mr. Tajan: That's correct.
Ms. Smith: Are you looking at what I'm looking at?
Mr. Tajan: Yes.
Ms. Smith: Okay. It may be able to be wordsmithed more clearly and we can work on that as
long as we all agree to the concept, we'll figure out the correct language for you.
Any questions about that?
Ms. Rucinski: Okay, do we have a motion?
Mr. Weiner: I move approval of the item with the changes to the condition number one?
Ms. Rucinski: Second?
Mr. Ripley: I will second and I also need to disclose, again the same information about the
TowneBank that I have disclosed in item number four applies here too.
Ms. Rucinski: Okay.
Mr. Inman: Likewise.
6
Mr. Redmond:Likewise.
Ms. Sandloop:Vote is open. By the recorded vote of 9-0 agenda item number nine has been
approved with condition as amended.
