H. PUBLIC COMMENT
1. DOME SITE/ATLANTIC PARK PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
10/15/19
•
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SUMMARY
The Dome Site Development Agreement ("Development Agreement") sets forth the
agreements between the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the "Authority") and
Atlantic Park, Inc., an affiliate of Venture Waves, LLC (collectively"Developer") for the design,
construction and opening of a mixed-used development on the former Dome Site. The
Development Agreement will be executed after votes by the Authority and City Council
approving the transaction and after the requisite notice period under the Knight-Wagner
legislation. The Development Agreement will govern the relationship between the parties until
the Dome Project opens. All the other documents are attached to the Development Agreement as
Exhibits. This summary is intended as a guide for understanding and reviewing the Agreement,
not as a restatement of the Development Agreement. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency
between this document and the Development Agreement, the Development Agreement expresses
the intent of the parties and should be relied on to resolve that conflict or inconsistency.
What follows is an explanation of each section of the Development Agreement:
Recitals: The Recitals are intended to explain the history of the transaction,
including the process undertaken to select the Developer and the property subject (at least
initially) to the development. They also recite the steps we have taken to date (such as term
sheet, various studies and preliminary project plan development) to get to the point where the
Development Agreement has been agreed on by the parties and the transaction is ready to move
forward with each party having binding obligations to the other.
Terms of Agreement (the numbers of these paragraphs correspond to the numbered
sections of the Development Agreement):
1. Definitions. Paragraph 1 states that all terms not otherwise defined are contained in the
Appendix. The Appendix also contains rules of usage and interpretation. The Appendix
is necessary to a full understanding of the Development Agreement.
2. Support Agreement. Paragraph 2 requires the Authority to enter into a Support
Agreement with the City. The Support Agreement says that subject to appropriation, the
City agrees to provide to the Authority such funds as the Authority needs to satisfy its
obligations under the Development Agreement. This includes the money necessary to
acquire the parking structures, streetscapes and entertainment venue which are going to
be constructed pursuant to the Development Agreement; and any Performance Grant
funds the Authority needs to contribute to the CDA (discussed in detail below in
Paragraph 8).
3. The Project. This section generally lays out the scope of the project (as shown on
Exhibit 1 and described on Exhibit 3), the anticipated process for deciding on the
construction schedule and financing schedule and what happens if the Developer cannot
obtain financing.
1
10/15/19
• 3.1 Preliminary Master Plan. The Preliminary Master Plan is the Preliminary
Project Elements, described on Exhibit 3 (Mixed-use commercial space, Class A
Office, multi-family residential, surf park, entertainment venue, parking, and
streetscapes/ancillary improvements) and the Preliminary Project Plan (Exhibit 1)
which is a rough layout of where those elements may be located. This section
goes on to state that the parties intend to construct the project consistently with
the Preliminary Master Plan. However, the parties acknowledge that additional
property will need to be acquired by the Authority in the area surrounding the
Dome (by voluntary acquisition only - in no event by condemnation) and that the
exact layout and composition of the project will be developed as set forth in the
following paragraphs of the Development Agreement. If additional properties are
not acquired during the Due Diligence Phase (9 months after signing of
Development Agreement), the Project will have to be downsized to accommodate
the available footprint,but the mix of uses (Exhibit 3)proposed will remain.
• 3.2 Improvements. States that the Developer is anticipating constructing
approximately $230MM in Developer Improvements. This amount could be
adjusted based on changes to the Master Plan due to change in scope to the
Project if additional land is not acquired. Developer is responsible for obtaining
all of its equity and financing to construct these improvements.
• 3.3 Construction Schedule. Provides for the development of a mutually
acceptable construction schedule, including the "Target Completion Date" which
is the date the parties anticipate the Project will open. The construction schedules
and interim deadlines will be developed during the Pre-Development Phase as the
parties have more definitive understanding of what is going to be built.
• 3.4 Failure to Obtain Financing. This paragraph gives the Authority a
termination right if Developer fails to make progress towards obtaining financing
or fails to obtain a financing commitment by an outside date to be agreed on by
the parties during the Due Diligence Period. These milestones are intended to give
the Authority an ability to terminate the deal if the Developer's financing does not
materialize.
4. Due Diligence, Acquisition and Development of Project Land. This section describes
what will happen during the Due Diligence Period, which is the first phase after signing
of the Development Agreement. The main categories are (i) studies and investigations,
(ii) land acquisition and project element siting, (iii) zoning and permitting actions, and
(iv) development of ancillary project documents such as parking agreements and the
condominium documents.
• 4.1 Due Diligence A description of the activities to occur during the Due
Diligence Phase. This phase commences as of the effective date of the
Development Agreement and ends at the earlier of(i)the date the parties agree or
nine months from the Effective Date(the date of the Development Agreement).

Based Code of the uses in the Project, including application for Special
Exceptions where necessary.
o 4.2.5 Traffic and Parking Analysis. Authority to obtain this study.

o 4.4.1 Ground Lease. The document where the Authority will lease the
Project Land to Developer for an initial term of 60 years with two (2)

o 4.4.2 Garage Parking Agreement. An agreement to give Developer the
right to use certain parking within the Project. The terms are summarized
on Exhibit 7.
• 4.5 Condominium Regime. This section explains how each element of the
Project will be built within a separate condominium unit. This is the most
efficient real estate structure for mixed-use integrated projects and is commonly
used in integrated projects such as this.
• 4.6 Master Plan. The Preliminary Master Plan, described in Section 3, as
refined and adjusted during the Due Diligence Phase will become the Master
Plan. The Master Plan will contain all the agreed on elements of the Project.
Once the parties have agreed on the Master Plan and finished the other due
diligence items described above, they will sign a letter signifying the end of the
Due Diligence Phase and beginning of the Pre-Development Phase.
• 4.7 Outside Due Diligence Date. States if the parties have not agreed to end the
Due Diligence Phase by the Outside Due Diligence Date(described in 4.1 above—
maximum 9 months), that either party may terminate the Development
Agreement. Should a termination occur under this Section, neither party will
have any further obligation to the other except for previously accrued obligations
(such as for services performed but not yet paid) or indemnities (such as for
damage done by Developer to the Project Land during a study or investigation).

example: If the Parking Garages cost the budgeted$58MM (resulting in a
City Contribution of $65.5MM) and there is $40MM in CDA Bond
proceeds available for assets (after establishing reserves, etc.), then the
$40MM of CDA Bond proceeds and $18MM of the City Contribution
would be applied to the Parking Costs, $7.5MM of the City Contribution
would be applied to Streetscapes and the remaining $40MM of the City
Contribution ($65.5MM - $18MM - $7.5MM) would be available for the
Project Construction Fund to pay for Other Project Components.

3. The Project.
3.1. Preliminary Master Plan. The Parties have agreed on the Preliminary
Project Plan and the Preliminary Project Elements described on Exhibit 3 (the "Preliminary
Project Elements", and together with the Preliminary Project Plan, collectively,the
"Preliminary Master Plan"),and, except as otherwise agreed by the Parties pursuant to this
Agreement,the Parties intend to design, develop and construct the Project in accordance with the
Preliminary Master Plan. The Parties may adjust the layout and similar matters pertaining to the
Project and the details of the various components of the Project once the Supplemental Parcels
have been determined and during the course of preparing the Condominium Development Plan
and the Entertainment Venue Development Plan; however, any material deviation from the
Preliminary Master Plan is subject to approval by the Authority as further provided under
Section 5.2.1(a)(viii). The Parties acknowledge that prior plans for the Project provided for
certain facilities to be developed on the Virginia Beach United Methodist Church parking lot,but
that such parking lot will not be part of the Project. Accordingly, some or all of such facilities
may be relocated to property within the Potential Development Area or elsewhere within the
Project Land as may be mutually agreed by the Parties during the Due Diligence Phase, all as
more particularly described in this Agreement. Furthermore,the Parties agree that the square
footage of various components of the Project and the locations thereof may be adjusted if the
Supplemental Parcels are not added to the Project Land or if the Parties are unable to acquire
such Supplemental Parcels on a schedule that will allow them to be developed in the initial phase
of the Project(and not in a subsequent phases of future development), but the Parties agree to
preserve the mixed-use concept contemplated by the Preliminary Master Plan.
3.2. Improvements. The Developer(at its sole cost and expense)will construct
the Developer Improvements in accordance with the approved Condominium Development Plan.
The Developer Improvements contemplated by the Preliminary Master Plan are anticipated to
have a total estimated development cost(which shall refer to the soft and hard costs customarily
included and funded under a typical construction loan budget) of approximately Two Hundred
Thirty Million and 00/100 Dollars($230,000,000.00). Such total estimated development costs
may be adjusted based upon changes to the Preliminary Master Plan reflected in the Master Plan
and approved in accordance with this Agreement, including adjustment based on the inclusion
6
(or non-inclusion)of the Supplemental Parcels. The Developer will arrange for all equity and
financing necessary to develop and construct such Developer Improvements.
3.3. Construction Schedule. The Parties desire that the Project be completed in
time for a grand opening of the Project on or about the "Target Completion Date"to be agreed
upon by the Parties prior to the expiration of the Pre-Development Phase and set forth on the
Schedule of Project Deadlines attached as Exhibit 4 to this Agreement(the "Schedule of
Project Deadlines");therefore,the Parties shall undertake their respective responsibilities with
respect to design and construction of the Project in good faith, using commercially reasonable
efforts and on such schedule as is reasonably required to achieve such desired grand opening
date. A preliminary construction schedule will be agreed upon by the Parties prior to the
expiration of the Pre-Development Phase and included as part of the Schedule of Project
Deadlines(as it may be subsequently amended by the Development Plans or by mutual written
agreement of the Authority and the Developer,the "Construction Schedule"). This
Construction Schedule is an estimate of the time required to perform the various components of
the construction process and is subject to modification due to Force Majeure events and

Entertainment Project Financing Fund as provided in §§15.2-5932 and 15.2-5933 of the Virginia
Code. Pursuant to the assignment of Performance Grant Revenues described in Section 8.3.6,
the parties intend that Knight-Wagner Revenues attributable to sales during the Construction
Phase shall be transferred to the Revenue Stabilization Fund held by the CDA Bond Trustee for
those purposes set forth in Sections 6.10.5, 8.3.7 and 8.3.8 or as otherwise provided in this

such additional funds from the Revenue Stabilization Fund as may be necessary to cover such
shortfall. If the amount on deposit in the Revenue Stabilization Fund is insufficient to pay the
debt service on the CDA Bonds during the Pre-Stabilization Period,the Authority, in
coordination with the City, shall advance to the CDA on behalf of the Developer, such additional
funds(all such advanced funds being referred to as "Pre-Stabilization Advances")from the TIP

Special Assessments; provided that(a)the making of such Pre-Stabilization Advances is
contingent on the appropriation by the City Council of such moneys to the TIP Fund for such
purpose and(b)the amount of such Pre-Stabilization Advances in any bond year shall not exceed
the amount of real property taxes collected within the CDA District(excluding the Special
Property Tax Revenues and any Special Service District Levy)during such bond year. Any and
all Pre-Stabilization Advances shall be repaid to the Authority from any Excess Revenues
collected during the Grant Term and available for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.3.8(h)
before any Excess Revenues may be applied to prepay the CDA Bonds. In the event that any
Pre-Stabilization Advances remain outstanding at the end of the seventeenth(17th)year of the
Grant Term,they will be repaid from Performance Grant Revenues during the final three years of
the Grant Term, and the Authority, in its sole discretion, shall determine the amount of
Performance Grant Revenues to be withheld from the Performance Grant Payments in each of
the final three years of the Grant Term but in no event more than the unreimbursed portion of the
Pre-Stabilization Advances.

Construction Fund to be used to pay for the agreed upon Streetscapes to be owned by the
Authority if CDA Bond Construction Proceeds remaining after full funding of the Parking
Construction Fund under the foregoing item(a)are insufficient to complete the construction of
such Authority-owned Streetscapes; and (c)with respect to any remaining portion of the City
Contribution,to the Project Construction Fund for the benefit of the Developer to pay costs of
the Other Project Components. Amounts in the Project Construction Fund may be spent
simultaneously with amounts in the Parking Garage Construction Fund and the Streetscape
Construction Fund.
6.11.3 Disbursement of Project Construction Fund. Disbursements from
the Project Construction Fund will occur only after full funding of the Developer's equity for the
applicable portion of the Project and will either occur prior to or on a pro-rata basis with
disbursements of the Construction Loan as determined by the Authority in advance of closing of
the Construction Loan . Disbursements from the Project Construction Fund will be made
pursuant to the same draw process used by Developer's Construction Lender.
6.12. Condominium Purchase Agreement. The Authority and the Developer, on
the Closing Date, shall execute and deliver a Condominium Purchase Agreement,wherein (a)the
Authority agrees to purchase the Parking Units from the Developer for the Parking Units
Purchase Price, and (b)the Authority agrees to purchase the Public Units from the Developer for
the Public Units Purchase Price. The Public Units Purchase Price shall be paid by the Authority
to the Developer upon Completion. The parties anticipate that the Parking Units will be
constructed, simultaneously with the Developer Units,by the General Contractor pursuant to the
Condominium Units Construction Contract. The Condominium Purchase Agreement shall
contain provisions stipulating that payment of the Parking Units Purchase Price shall be made in
monthly installments based upon a schedule of values to be approved by the Authority and
included in the Condominium Units Construction Contract. The Authority agrees to pay monthly
to the Developer or the General Contractor(as the Authority may elect) costs allocable to

Date (the"Option Period"),the Developer will have the exclusive option to elect to add the
Substation Parcel to the Ground Lease and Project in accordance with this Section 6.15. The
Parties may mutually agree to extend the Option Period for up to three (3) additional years
(which extension may be conditioned upon payment by the Developer of a"carrying cost"option
fee to be negotiated). Upon acquisition of such the Substation Parcel and the removal of any
improvements and completion of any environmental remediation required to permit
development, the Authority will notify the Developer of the date that the Substation Parcel will
be available for development(the"Availability Date"). At any time during the Option Period,
the Developer may notify the Authority of its desire to add the Substation Parcel to the Project,
and upon the Developer presenting a plan for development of the Substation Parcel acceptable to
the City Council and the Authority (as evidenced by an amendment to this Agreement executed
within the Option Period),the Substation Parcel shall be added to the premises leased under the
Ground Lease and incorporated into the Project in consideration of additional rent of$100.00.

The Developer consents to all of the Project Land and the Entertainment Venue Parcel being
included within the Special Service District.
8.1.2 Special Service District Adjustments. The Authority shall request
that the City review the tax rate for the Special Service District as required by Applicable Law,
but at least as frequently as every third year. To the extent that the annual Special Service
District Revenues deviate from the aggregate annual amount needed to satisfy in full all of the
annual obligations of the City or Authority as to the Project(taking into consideration the need to
fund reasonable reserves),the Authority, at any time and from time to time, will be entitled to
request that the City adjust appropriately the tax rate applicable to the Special Service District to
fund those expenses of the Special Service District that are to be supported by the Special
Service District Levy. The Authority will request the City staff to present the cost data to be
considered in connection with calculating its recommendation as to the adjustment to the
Developer. The Developer consents to any such requests by the Authority and acknowledges that
the City in its sole discretion may exact increases or decreases in the Special Service District rate
for such purposes.
8.1.3 Additional Special Service Districts. From time to time,the
Special Service District may need to be expanded, or additional Special Service Districts may
need to be created, to support the obligations as to the Project that may be supported by a Special

fully) in the expansion of the Special Service District, and in the creation of additional Special
Service Districts, should the Authority so request.
8.2. Financing Bonds. At any time, and from time to time,the Authority may
elect to finance its obligations with respect to the Project by issuing Bonds. If the Authority
32
issues Bonds, all or a portion of such Bonds may be supported by, among other things the

(b) The Parties agree to work with the City and the CDA to
ensure that the proceeds of the CDA Bonds will be applied to finance the costs of the CDA
Facilities,to pay capitalized interest on the CDA Bonds during the Construction Period,to fund
the Debt Service Reserve Fund for the CDA Bonds and to pay the costs of issuance of the CDA
Bonds. The Parties agree to request that the construction portion of the CDA Bond proceeds be
applied to finance (i)the costs of the Parking Facilities and then (ii)to the extent any CDA Bond
proceeds remain unused,the costs of the Streetscapes.
(c) The Parties agree that the Authority, or such other public
entity as the Authority and the City may determine, shall own and operate (i)the Parking
Facilities and(ii) any Streetscapes financed with proceeds of the CDA Bonds.

the CDA Facilities will be constructed to benefit the property comprising the CDA District and
that the CDA Bonds will be secured in part by the Special Assessments to be imposed on such
property. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties and the City,the CDA District
shall include all of the Dome Properties. As any Additional Land is added to the Project Land,
such Additional Land shall also be added to the CDA District, except as otherwise agreed to by
the Parties. The Developer consents to the inclusion of all of the Dome Properties and any
Additional Land in the CDA District and to the imposition of Special Assessments on all taxable
real property in the CDA District,regardless of whether such real property is owned or subject to

efforts to negotiate, approve and enter into, as applicable, any agreements or other
documentation necessary to impose and provide for the collection of the Special Assessments.

irrevocably assign all of its right, title and interest in the Performance Grant Payments to the
34
CDA.Notwithstanding the limitations in Sections 6.10.1 and 6.10.3,the City will allow the total
amount of Performance Grant Revenues provided to the CDA to be increased over the
$5,000,000 cap to pay the actual costs of administration of the CDA,which is expected to not
exceed $75,000 annually, from its inception through its dissolution, and the City may (at its
election)allow the total amount of Performance Grant Revenues provided to the CDA to be
further increased to provide additional funds for early prepayment of principal of the CDA
Bonds as permitted by the terms of the Indenture. An account will be established by the CDA
Board for the receipt and payment of the funds necessary for the costs of administration of the
CDA.
8.3.7 Payment of Costs Related to Establishment and Administration of

such rates and be sold at such prices as to maximize the amount of proceeds available to finance
the costs of the CDA Facilities,to fund the deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Fund and the
Capitalized Interest Fund and to pay the costs of issuance of the CDA Bonds.
(d) The CDA Bonds will be secured by the Performance Grant
Payments assigned by the Developer to the CDA. To the extent Performance Grant Payments are
insufficient to pay the debt service during the Pre-Stabilization Period,the required debt service
shall be paid as set forth in Section 6.10.5. Thereafter,to the extent Performance Grant Payments
are insufficient to pay the debt service on the CDA Bonds,the CDA Bond Trustee will draw first
on moneys in the Revenue Stabilization Fund and then on moneys in the Debt Service Reserve
Fund to pay debt service on the CDA Bonds. The CDA Bonds will be further secured by the

Fund, and any moneys drawn by the CDA Bond Trustee therefrom (including draws to pay debt
service on the CDA Bonds)will not be replenished. Any moneys remaining on deposit in the
Revenue Stabilization Fund upon retirement of the CDA Bonds will be transferred to the City.
(g) A Debt Service Reserve Fund will be established under the
Indenture to provide additional security for the CDA Bonds,will initially be funded with CDA
Bonds proceeds and will be sized in the amount of the maximum annual debt service on the
CDA Bonds unless federal income tax laws and regulations mandate a lesser amount. Any
36
moneys drawn by the CDA Bond Trustee from the Debt Service Reserve Fund to pay debt
service on the CDA Bonds will be replenished from moneys received from the collection of
installments of the Special Assessments.
(h) Any Excess Revenues will be applied (i)first,to repay any
moneys advanced by the City pursuant to Section 6.10.5, (ii) second, at the option of the City,to
redeem any outstanding CDA Bonds as permitted by the terms of the Indenture, and(iii)third,to
the City to replenish the TIP Fund.

Construction Fund") for the purposes of managing any funded amounts of the City
Contribution to be applied to pay construction costs of Project components other than the
Parking Facilities and the portion of the Streetscapes to be paid for and owned by the Authority
pursuant to this Agreement as the Parties may mutually agree (the"Other Project
Components").

default under the Construction Loan by the Construction Lender.

Authority shall be entitled to elect any or all remedies at law or in equity that may accrue as a
consequence of such Developer Event of Default, including,without limitation,the following
remedies: (a)termination of this Agreement; or(b)pursuit of specific performance of this
Agreement or injunctive relief. Alternatively,the Authority has the right to waive in writing such
Developer Event of Default. As a condition precedent to exercise of any of such remedies,the
Authority shall have sent a copy of any applicable notice alleging the default that became the
basis of the Developer Event of Default to the Construction Lender at the last known address for
such lender contained in the Authority's files;provided the Authority has received written notice
(via certified U.S. Mail, return receipt requested)of the Construction Lender's address from the
Developer or the Construction Lender.

Construction Lender will enter into a Cure Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached

provided to the Authority remain the same and any revisions to the Cure Rights Agreement are
approved by the City Attorney of the City.

with respect to matters relating to the Transaction Documents and the Loan Documents and the
transactions evidenced and contemplated thereby.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, and in order to induce Construction Lender to make the Loan and induce
the Authority to enter into the Transaction Documents,the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise defined to the
contrary in this Agreement, the capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the
corresponding meanings specified for such items in the Development Agreement. Additionally,
the rules of usage set forth in Appendix 1 to the Development Agreement shall apply to this
Agreement.
2. Development Agreement. The Authority hereby recognizes the Construction
Lender as a "Construction Lender" under the Development Agreement, entitled to all rights,
notices and protections provided to the Construction Lender pursuant to the Development
Agreement.
Exhibit 11
(1)
(a) So long as the Construction Loan is in effect and written notice thereof has
been delivered to the Authority, (A) no amendment or modification of the Development
Agreement shall be made without the prior written consent of the Construction Lender, and (B)
the Authority will not accept a voluntary termination or cancellation of the Development
Agreement from the Developer without the prior written consent of the Construction Lender.
(b) The Authority agrees to send the Construction Lender a copy of any notice,
demand or other communication under the Development Agreement and/or any other Transaction
Documents (collectively "Notice") simultaneously with sending such Notice to the Developer,
provided that the Developer or the Construction Lender furnishes to the Authority in writing the
Construction Lender's address(es)for such Notices. The Construction Lender shall have the right,
but no obligation to, remedy the default by the Developer under the Development Agreement or
any other Transaction Document or causing the same to be remedied and any such payment or
performance by the Construction Lender shall have the same effect as if performed by the
Developer. In the case of any default by the Developer,then, so long as the Construction Lender
undertakes in writing to cure any such default that is susceptible of being cured,the Authority shall
take no action with respect to the subject defaults without giving the Construction Lender
reasonable time within which either (i) to obtain possession of the Developer Units (including
possession by receiver) and cure such default in the case of a default that is susceptible of being
cured when the Construction Lender has obtained possession, or (ii) to institute foreclosure
proceedings and complete such foreclosure,or otherwise acquire the Developer's interest under in
the Developer Units, with diligence and continuity in the case of a default that is susceptible of
being cured by the Construction Lender. However, the Construction Lender shall not be required
to continue such possession or continue such foreclosure proceedings if the subject default shall
be cured. Neither the Construction Lender nor any of its Affiliates or any other entity which
acquires the Developer's interest under the Development Agreement through foreclosure or
assignment in lieu of foreclosure shall have any obligation to cure any default by the Developer
under the Development Agreement or any other Transaction Document which is not susceptible
of being cured by such acquirer.
(c) The Construction Lender's address for Notice purposes in accordance with
this Agreement is as follows:
Construction Lender:
3. Development Agreement Cure Rights. Pursuant to Section 13.5 of the
Development Agreement,the Authority,the Developer and the Construction Lender covenant and
agree as follows:
(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of any "Developer's Event of
Default" under Section 13.3 of the Development Agreement, the Authority may deliver written
notice thereof(a"Declaration of Default Notice") to the Developer and the Construction Lender.
Exhibit 11
(2)
The Declaration of Default Notice shall include, at a minimum, a description of the Developer
Event of Default which triggered the delivery of the Declaration of Default Notice, and copies of
all supporting documentation relevant to the information set forth in the Declaration of Default
Notice reasonably available to the Authority.
(b) (i) The Construction Lender shall have ninety(90)days after its receipt
of a Declaration of Default Notice to elect, by written notice to the Authority, to (A) commence
efforts to cure the subject Developer Event of Default and/or (B) commence efforts to foreclose
upon or pursue other remedies at law or in equity or otherwise obtain title to the Developer Units
and thereafter commence or resume the construction of the Improvements pursuant to the
Development Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(ii) If the Construction Lender elects to take over and continue
construction of the Improvements pursuant to the Development Agreement and cure any
Developer Event of Default,then the Construction Lender shall,within ninety(90)days following
its election, (i) proceed to foreclose upon or otherwise obtain title to the Developer Units and
associated Developer Improvements and thereafter diligently prosecute such foreclosure to
completion or (ii)pursue such other remedies at law or in equity which the Construction Lender
may have available and to cause the commencement and/or resumption of construction of the
Improvements in accordance with the Development Agreement within sixty (60) days after
obtaining title thereto. The Authority acknowledges that the Construction Lender may be delayed
in proceeding in accordance with the foregoing due to either(A) any requirement to obtain relief
from any automatic stay in bankruptcy or other creditor's rights proceeding,or(B)any requirement
to obtain a final non-appealable judgment in any other proceeding or litigation the resolution of
which is a prerequisite to the Construction Lender obtaining possession of the Developer Units,
title to the above or otherwise effecting a cure.
(iii) If the Construction Lender fails to exercise its option described in
subsection(i)above within ninety(90)days after its receipt of a Declaration of Default Notice,or
if the Construction Lender exercises such option,but thereafter fails to diligently and continuously
pursue such efforts to obtain possession of the Developer Units or to resume such construction
within sixty (60) days after it obtains such possession, then the Authority may, at any time
thereafter,by written notice to the Developer and the Construction Lender,terminate the right of
the Developer and/or the Construction Lender to complete the construction of all or any portion of
the Improvements, and proceed to complete or cause the Completion of the construction of all or
any portion of the Improvements on its own, including taking all actions necessary to obtain other
subordinate or replacement financing, resolve mechanic's and materialmen's liens, enter into
amendments or modifications of contracts with the General Contractor(s) or enter into new
contracts with the General Contractor(s), and convey all or any portion of the Improvements to a
third party to complete such Improvements and such other actions as may be necessary or advisable
to complete all or any portion of the Improvements.
(c) In addition to the above, if the Developer Event of Default is (x) an event
described in Section 13.3.5 of the Development Agreement, or (y) an event described in either
Section 13.3.6 or Section 13.3.7 of the Development Agreement(any such event being referred to
as a "Termination Default Event"), then if such Termination Default Event has not been cured
within the time allowed therefor as provided in the respective section,the Authority shall have the
Exhibit 11
(3)
right,at the Authority's option,to terminate the Development Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents(the"Termination Event")by giving written notice(a"Termination Exercise Notice")
to the Developer and the Construction Lender at any time prior to the cure thereof,whereupon (i)
if such Termination Default Event is the Termination Default Event described in Section 13.3.5 of
the Development Agreement, the Ground Lease will terminate and ownership of the Developer
Units will automatically vest in the Authority subject to the lien of the Deed of Trust held by the
Construction Lender, without payment of any consideration or other compensation to the
Developer; or(ii) if such Termination Default Event is a Termination Default Event described in
either Section 13.3.6 or Section 13.3.7 of the Development Agreement,(x)the Ground Lease will
terminate and ownership of the Developer Units will automatically vest in the Authority without
payment of any consideration or other compensation to the Developer, and (y) title to all
Improvements constructed by the Developer will transfer to the Authority, both subject to the lien
of the Deed of Trust held by the Construction Lender, without payment of any consideration or
other compensation to the Developer; provided, however, under either circumstance pursuant to
either(i)or(ii) above,the lien of such Deed of Trust shall be limited to an amount not to exceed
the Mortgage Payoff Amount defined in the Development Agreement.The rights of the Authority
under this Paragraph 3(c) shall be a second lien on the Developer Units and any Improvements
constructed thereon, subject only to the first priority lien of the Deed of Trust held by the
Construction Lender.
(d) (i) The Authority will provide the Construction Lender with written
notice(a"Termination Notice")of the occurrence of the Termination Event and the right to acquire
the Developer's former interest in the Developer Units and the Improvements and to take over and
assume the Developer's rights and obligations under the Development Agreement. The
Construction Lender must make such election within ninety (90) days after such Termination
Notice and recommence construction of the Improvements within one hundred twenty(120)days
after such Termination Notice (subject to extension as may be necessary for the Construction
Lender to obtain relief from any automatic stay in bankruptcy or to diligently pursue foreclosure)
and thereafter diligently pursue the Improvements to Completion. Such termination right for the
Authority shall continue to apply following any such assumption, except that the deadlines under
this Agreement (and the Development Agreement) will be extended for the period of time from
the date of such Termination Notice to the date the Construction Lender recommences construction
of the Improvements.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the
Construction Lender does not exercise its rights set forth in Paragraph 3(b) above, and the
Authority elects (or has elected) to exercise its rights set forth in Paragraph 3(c) above upon the
occurrence of a Termination Default Event, then Authority (or its assignee) shall take title to the
Developer Units and Developer Improvements subject to the lien of the Deed of Trust held by the
Construction Lender and have the right to either (i) assume the Loan (in which event the total
outstanding balance of the Loan as of the date of such assumption shall be limited to the Mortgage
Payoff Amount), or (ii) payoff or purchase the Loan for an amount not to exceed the Mortgage
Payoff Amount, in which event the Construction Lender will release the Deed of Trust of record
in the event the Authority elects to pay off the Loan or assign to the Authority all of the
Construction Lender's right,title and interest into the Loan Documents in the event the Authority
elects to purchase the Loan.
Exhibit 11
(4)

demand or other communication relating to a default under the Construction Loan and/or the Loan
Documents (collectively "Loan Default Notice") simultaneously with sending such Loan Default
Notice to the Developer. The Authority shall have the right, but no obligation, to remedy any
default by the Developer under the Construction Loan,or cause the same to be remedied, and any
payment or performance by the Authority shall have the same effect as if performed by the
Developer. In case of any default by the Developer under the Construction Loan,then, so long as

Authority reasonable time within which either to(i)obtain possession of the Developer Units and
cure such default in the case of a default that is susceptible of being cured when the Authority has
obtained possession, or (ii) institute default proceedings under the Transaction Documents or
otherwise acquire or terminate the Developer's interest under the Transaction Documents, with

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution Requesting the General Assembly During its Special Session of
November 18 to Provide Funding for Virginia Beach for Recovery from the
Events of May 31, 2019
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background: On May 31, an event that will live in infamy was visited upon the
City of Virginia Beach. The event included the deaths of 12 persons including 11 City
employees and a citizen and the grievous wounding of 4 others. These events took
place in Building 2, also called the Operations Building. The City has determined that it
will renovate the building for other uses rather than cause further distress and grief to
the employees by requiring them to continue working in that building. The City Council
had previously embarked on a process to fund a new City Hall due to the threat of a
single point of mechanical failure in the current City Hall that would cause the immediate
abandonment of that building. The City Council has provided $4 million for the
preparation of design-build bridging documents for the renovation of Building 2, the
renovation of the current Police Department Headquarters also known as Building 11,
and the renovation of Building 1, the current City Hall building. In addition to the $50
million committed to the new City Hall, the cost of funding the design-build renovation
for the three above named buildings is $79 million.
The General Assembly will return to its Special Session on November 18, 2019 to
respond to the work done by the State Crime Commission and other concerns. The
expenses being born by the City of Virginia Beach and its citizens are beyond the City's
ability to address alone without increasing its debt burden and limiting its capacity to
fund other significant capital needs of the City such as schools and flooding. The City
has already incurred and obligated $18.2 million in expenses to address the short and
long term effects of the events of May 31 , 2019.
• Considerations: The attached resolution requests the General Assembly
allocate $10 million in cash and a $20 million no-interest loan, which was proposed
during the Special Session in September through legislation introduced by Delegate
Barry Knight of Virginia Beach.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Allow the Cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth,
Norfolk and Suffolk to Establish a Broadband Authority under the Virginia
Wireless Services Act
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background: The cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Norfolk
and Suffolk ("Creating Cities") created a Broadband Steering Committee in order to
advance efforts in regional broadband connectivity. The Broadband Steering Committee
has determined that it is in the best interest of the region to form a broadband authority
("Southside Network Authority") under the Virginia Wireless Services Authority Act,
Chapter 54.1 of Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended (the "Act"). In
order to form the Southside Network Authority, each of the Creating Cities must hold a
public hearing and adopt an identical joint resolution with the same effective date (the
"Resolution").
• Considerations: The Southside Network Authority would serve a public
purpose by owning and managing the regional broadband network, which is focused on
creating a "middle mile" infrastructure that will also support private internet service
providers' ability to reach underserved and unserved neighborhoods, expand affordable
services to the small business community and create the bandwidth to support "Big
Data" research, incubators, accelerators and new start-ups.
• Public Information: A presentation was given to City Council in open session
on August 20, 2019. In accordance with the requirements of Virginia Code Section 15.2-
5431.5, the entire text of the proposed Resolution was advertised on September 15,
2019, which was thirty (30) days prior to the public hearing date of October 15, 2019 as
required by the Act. Each of the Creating Cities also published the Resolution and held
a public hearing accordingly.
Substitute Version: Councilmember John Moss proposed a substitute version of
the Resolution, attached as Exhibit A to the proposed draft agreement entitled
"Comprehensive Agreement for Formation of a Wireless Service Authority". Mr. Moss
submitted it to City Council members by cover letter dated September 24, 2019. These
documents were posted online prior to the public hearing for public information and
comment. Additional information requested by City Council at the public hearing was
provided in City Council's Friday packet on October 25, 2019, and is also attached for
informational purposes.

3 WHEREAS, the Cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia
4 Beach (the "Cities") have determined that it is in the best interests of the citizens of the
5 Cities to form an authority under the Wireless Service Authorities Act to be known as
6 the Southside Network Authority, pursuant to the provisions of the Virginia Wireless
7 Service Authorities Act, Chapter 54.1 of Title 15.2 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as
8 amended; and
9
10 WHEREAS, the Cities each find, jointly and severally, that creation of the
11 Authority will serve an essential public purpose by increasing the speed and availability
12 of broadband Internet and information services, enable private investment in the
13 marketplace to be better targeted to serving the public, as well as creating jobs and
14 increasing the tax base of the Cities and the region as a whole.
15
16 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT JOINTLY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
17 of Virginia Beach, the City Council of the City of Suffolk, the City Council of the City of

57 ARTICLE IV
58 JOINDER OR WITHDRAWAL OF JURISDICTIONS; MERGER OF

73 resolution, or agreement providing for such joinder or withdrawal and hold a public
74 hearing in accordance with Section 15.2-5431.5 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as

101 be, but are not required to be, members of the governing body or professional staff of a
102 member locality. In the event a board of directors member or alternate member is
103 removed from office as a director, has his or her term of office with the appointing
104 locality end, or has his or her employment with the appointing locality end during his or
105 her term on the board of directors, that board of directors member shall be disqualified

107 governing body of the member locality that appointed that board member may appoint a
108 replacement to serve the remainder of the term.

113 succeed themselves. Appointments to fill vacancies, however arising, shall be for the
114 remainder of the unexpired term. If at the end of any term of office a successor director
115 has not been appointed, then the director whose term of office has expired shall
116 continue to hold office until his or her successor is appointed and qualifies.

HONORABLE MAYOR
MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
E
Dear Colleagues,
The attached document provides tracked changes incorporating the feedback I provided to each of you
three weeks back, on the proposed Charter of Articles of Incorporation of the Wireless Service Authority:
A serious and robust discussion among City Council and engagement with the public is a must,for any
regional body we may looking to establish.
i
We have a duty not to surrender the sovereignty granted to the residents of Virginia Beach in their City
Charter(the City Charter is a covenant between the General Assembly and the residents of Virginia t
Beach)to a regional body, without a public referendum.
i
We must preserve the ability of a future City Council to be able to unilaterally withdrawal from any
regional obligation we make. We have duty to make sure our residents have the right to engage and hold
a regional governing body accountable, as they have with their City Council. We have a duty to make
sure a regional body, of which we are a member, has the same obligations to Virginia Beach residents as
we do. For example, Virginia Beach residents should have the right to speak on agenda items at the
Authority's meetings prior to a vote on an item, the Authority should be obligated to hold public hearings i
on their budget prior to its adoption. etc. Now is the time to establish the requisite accountability i
i
measures. &
s
Likewise, City Council needs a much better understanding of the finding allocation melhodologies and
harriers, to ensure no Member municipality is subsidizing the infrastructure and operation costs incurred
within the geographical boundaries of another Member muunicipality for assets owned by the Authority.
Additionally, since the Authority is executing policy-making delegated powers, no non-elected person can
legitimately serve as a primary or alternate member of the Authority. We are granting powers, now
vested in City Cowrcil, as the peoples elected governing body. In my judgment, we do not possess the
moral authority to further delegate the people's power as the sovereign we serve to a non-elected
alternate.
•
The establishment of an agreement to this proposed Charter is a political policy decision. The Alaynrs of •
each joining community, not a non-elected City Manager, should be the Charter's signatories. The i
people elect us, not a City Manager. Only City Council collectively and us individually are accountable
to the sovereign owners of the power we exercise in the people's name.

https://youtu.be/BMfn4T3QvSM
Chesapeake provided the Council with a work session presentation several weeks ago. As part of
that presentation, we provided copies of the final draft of the comprehensive agreement and
other related Authority documents. More recently,some Council members have asked that we
reissue these presentation materials and summarize the prior costs we hove incurred pursuing
the project along with estimating the likely the future commitments staff believes the City will be
asked to make. This documentation was just sent to them today so they can be prepared for our
scheduled public hearing on Tuesday, October 22. They will be asked to approve joining the
authority on November 12. No proposed amendments have been discussed or raised at this
point—Jim Baker
Commentary on VB's proposed edits: Unfortunately, I think both these proposed edits are likely
non-starters for Chesapeake,purely from a practical perspective. First, some jurisdictions (like
Suffolk)have already approved the Authority documents as drafted. Secondly, unless I am
missing something, the proposed change requiring all board members and alternates to be
elected officials would invalidate all the previously published public meeting notices because the
initial list of board members would have to be changed and incorporated into a new notice that
would need to be re-published by each jurisdiction. Thirdly, it seems presumptuous to me for any
individual jurisdiction to suggest that all the others must adopt the same policy decision about
who can best represent their interests on the Authority Board. Under the current formulation,
Virginia Beach is free to choose only elected officials to serve as their Board member and
alternate. The other jurisdictions are also free to adopt this policy. However, there was much
discussion about the need to bring some technical and operational expertise into the board room
and I don't think Virginia Beach should seek to impose their preferences on other project
partners who may view having some non-elected representatives as valuable.
As respects the concept of unilateral withdrawal, 1 am typically an advocate for granting each
jurisdiction great flexibility to pursue their own paths. However, 1 don't believe the language
suggested is anywhere near sufficient to ensure a withdrawing jurisdiction would not adversely
impact the remaining Authority members. Keep in mind that we have yet to determine how
construction of the ring will be financed or how the various city commitments toward
construction of the ring will be implemented. While it may be realistic in the future to amend the
2
Authority documents to facilitate the departure of a city who desires to withdraw, I am very
skeptical about our practical ability to adequately anticipate all the collateral consequences if a
withdrawal occurred in the near-term future;before the ring is constructed and
operational. Prior to that time, I tend to believe all five cities must be committed to remain
members of the Authority unless al!jurisdictions agree on a request to withdraw—Jim Baker

4. Potential Costs to City
a. Completion of the Design to 100%and Initial Management—The estimated cost
completing the design is$800,000, and an additional$200,000 has been estimated as the
amount needed to hire or contract for a full or part-time employee of the Authority. This will
be allocated as$160,000 for each City to complete design and $40,000 for administrative cost.
Virginia Beach's portion of$200,000 was already included in this year's budgetary process as
part of the NGN CIP.
b. In-kind Donations of Existing Facilities—None of the existing city facilities or Next
Generation Network fiber infrastructure are being considered for conveyance to the Authority.
Possibly in the future the Authority may request use of some of the City's conduit already
installed, in order to comply with the "dig once" policy,to run its fiber. The City may also
contribute easements to the Authority along the proposed fiber route, if some of the
infrastructure is build outside of the right-of-way. The Authority will seek a franchise
agreement from each City, including Virginia Beach, in order to maintain its infrastructure in
the rights-of-way.
c. Cost-sharing to Complete the Fiber Ring—Following investment in the 100%design, the
Authority intends to be self-funding. The Authority will secure funding on its own (one of the
benefits),through a combination of state and federal grants available for broadband expansion
and if necessary, loans that will be made against the Authority's infrastructure and revenue. If
the Authority proposes that the cities provide some or all of the construction funding,all 5
cities would need to agree to do so,separate and apart from the each city's participation in
Authority governance. It will take several years to reach break-even and profitability,the
details of which are included in the Master Plan. The exact amount needed to capitalize the
regional ring will not be known until the 100%design is complete, however, at this stage the
cost is estimated not to exceed $28 million,total.
d. Ongoing Costs—The ongoing costs of management and maintenance will be offset by
the user fees and lease of dark fiber for middle-mile solutions for ISP's. The 5 City governments
have already committed as users of the ring,and so these are "anchor tenants". The amount
each city will spend to use Dedicated Internet Access(DIA) is expected to be significantly less
than what each city is spending now for internet connection. For the City of Virginia Beach, it is
expected to be$8000-$10,000 less per month,at today's usage and rates. As Virginia Beach's
connectivity needs become greater, the savings will follow suit and higher bandwidths will be
available to the cities.
5. Benefits of the Authority
a. Separate Legal Entity—Wireless Service Authorities are separate, legal entities from the
localities that form them. They are similar to other local or regional authorities(waste and
water authorities, regional jail authorities,economic or industrial development authorities,
etc.). Just like other local authorities,Wireless Service Authorities are public bodies that can
enter into contracts, sue and be sued, borrow money, and issue debt to finance their
projects. They automatically meet the IRS definition of a non-profit entity and are 100%tax-
exempt. The debt of the Authority is secured by revenues and property of the Authority,
4
and not by its individual localities. By contrast,the Steering Committee contemplated
forming a non-profit corporation outside of the Authority Act early on,and after realizing
the many tax implications and liability issues, reasoned that the Authority Act as
promulgated by the General Assembly provided the best alternative.
b. Financing—Wireless Service Authorities can borrow money and issue revenue bonds that do
not constitute debt of the local governing body to finance their projects. In 2007,the
Virginia General Assembly added wireless broadband equipment and infrastructure to the
definition of projects that may be entered into under the provisions of the Virginia Public-
Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act(PPEA), and projects that can be financed
through the Virginia Resources Authority.
c. Flexibility—In most instances, a Wireless Service Authority has the flexibility to provide
services that the locality cannot provide on its own. Virginia localities are generally
prohibited from providing Internet broadband services,with limited exceptions, including
certain localities with "service gaps"who successfully petition the State Corporation
Commission,and municipal providers of electricity. Wireless Service Authorities under the
provisions of the Act have flexibility to acquire,construct, improve,enlarge,operate or
extend any project providing qualifying communications services under the Act.
d. Facilities—Wireless Service Authorities can own and operate their own facilities. In
addition,they are authorized to access state-owned lands for the placement of their
facilities. A provision was added to state law in 2008 that requires the Commonwealth to
lease available space on state tower facilities to qualifying ISP's in underserved areas. A
Wireless Services Authority could presumably qualify for such access if it meets these
conditions.
e. Freedom of Information Act(FOIA)—Since the Wireless Service Authority is a public body
under Virginia law, it is subject to FOIA which requires meetings to be noticed and open to
the public and requires disclosure, upon a citizen's request, of its records that cannot
otherwise be excluded from FOIA. There are, however, exclusions from FOIA specific to
Wireless Service Authorities. These exclusions relate to certain proprietary information and
trade secrets,as well as certain meetings that involve negotiations under the Virginia Public
Procurement Act.

Summary of Regional Broadband Initiative Activities
October 25,2019
The Regional Broadband Initiative is being guided by a ten member Broadband Steering
Committee which consists of one elected official and the city manager from each of the five
South Side Cities. The Broadband Steering Committee has met on a regular basis over the past
two years to educate itself on the opportunities presented by the subsea cables that have
landed in Virginia Beach, and provide oversight for a process to connect these subsea cables
with a fiber network and ring that spreads this ultrafast service among the five South Side
Cities. Staff support for the Broadband Steering Committee has been provided by the Hampton
Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC).
Through the Broadband Steering Committee, the five South Side Cities have jointly financed
and completed the 30 percent design work for the South Side Fiber Ring. This 30 percent
design produced an agreed upon route for the South Side Fiber Ring in each of the five South
Side Cities. In addition, the Steering Committee celebrated the first interconnection of the
South Side Fiber Ring in September 2018 between Norfolk and Virginia Beach near Virginia
Wesleyan University, and successfully competed with 79 other metropolitan regions and was
recognized as the Grand Prize Winner for the National Infrastructure Challenge held in the Fall
of 2018.
The next step in this process is for the Broadband Steering Committee to complete the final
100%design work for the South Side Fiber Ring and develop a governance structure to provide
ongoing oversight and management of this project. To facilitate these next steps, the
Broadband Steering Committee formed the following subcommittees to advance work on
targeted areas related to this effort.
Governance Subcommittee
This Subcommittee consists of the city managers from the five south side cities and a
representative from each city's legal staff. The charge of this subcommittee was to evaluate
various governance structures and make a recommendation to the Broadband Steering
Committee. To address this assignment,the Governance Subcommittee acquired the services
of a legal consultant with experience in forming governance structures for broadband
initiatives. After evaluating several options,the Governance Subcommittee recommended the
formation of a broadband authority as the best approach for managing the regional broadband
initiative. The Governance Subcommittee worked with its legal consultant to develop the
Authority formation documents, which were endorsed by the full Broadband Steering
Committee.
Technical Subcommittee
This Subcommittee is comprised of the Chief Information Officers from each of the five South
Side Cities, and was asked to develop the technical standards for the South Side Fiber Ring. The
Technical Committee completed its work in June 2019, and these technical standards will be
included in the Request for Proposals that will soon be released for the final 100%design work
for the South Side Fiber Ring.
Advocacy Subcommittee
This Subcommittee includes Norfolk City Council Member Andria McClellan and Chesapeake
City Council Member Susan Vitale. This Committee was asked to discuss the importance of the
Regional Fiber Initiative with State officials. The Advocacy Subcommittee has met and
discussed the Fiber Ring Initiative with the following entities:
• Virginia Economic Development Partnership and Virginia Department of Housing and
Community Development
• Virginia General Assembly members/Hampton Roads Caucus
• Statewide Broadband Committee

are due, and for the interest which may accrue thereon. Such lien shall be superior to the interest
of any owner, lessee or tenant of the real estate and rank on a parity with liens for unpaid real
estate taxes.An authority may contract with a locality to collect amounts due on properly
recorded liens in the same manner as unpaid real estate taxes due the locality.A lien for
delinquent rates or charges applicable to three or fewer delinquent billing periods not exceeding
30 days each may be placed by an authority if the authority or its billing and collection agent(i)
has advised the owner of such real estate at the time of initiating service to a lessee or tenant of
such real estate that a lien will be placed on the real estate if the lessee or tenant fails to pay any
fees, rents or other charges when due for services rendered to the lessee or tenant; (ii)has mailed
to the owner of the real estate a duplicate copy of the final bill rendered to the lessee or tenant at
the time of rendering the final bill to such lessee or tenant; and(iii)employs the same collection
efforts and practices to collect amounts due the authority from a lessee or a tenant as are
employed with respect to collection of such amounts due from customers who are owners of the
real estate for which service is provided.
B. The lien shall not bind or affect a subsequent bona fide purchaser of the real estate for
valuable consideration without actual notice of the lien until the amount of such fees, rents and
charges is entered in a judgment lien book in the office where deeds may be recorded in the
locality in which the real estate or a part thereof is located.The clerk in whose office deeds may
be recorded shall make and index the entries therein upon certification by the authority, for
which he shall be entitled to a fee of$2 per entry,to be paid by the authority and added to the

WHAT IS A REGIONAL
CONNECTIVITY RING?
THE REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY RING IS SIMILAR TO A TYPICAL
MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY. INSTEAD OF CARS TRAVELING OVER
THE ROAD, WE HAVE DIGITAL INFORMATION TRAVELING FROM
ONE ENTITY TO ANOTHER.
THIS INFORMATION HIGHWAY IS MADE UP OF GLASS FIBER
CAPABLE OF TRANSMITTING ALMOST UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF
DATA AND VIDEO.

10/24/2019
HOW WILL THE REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY
RING BENEFIT SUFFOLK?
WITH VIRGINIA BEACH BEING THE LANDING SPOT FOR THE TRANSATLANTIC FIBER,
THE REGION WILL HAVE A DIRECT CONNECTION TO EUROPEAN MARKETPLACE
AND THE CITY OF SUFFOLK WILL BENEFIT GREATLY FROM THE REGIONAL
CONNECTIVITY RING.
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES (ELEMENTARY, HIGH SCHOOL AND LOCAL COLLEGES)
WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO DIGITALLY CONNECT ALL OF THEIR FACILITIES. THUS
PROVIDING GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO COMPETE REGIONALLY
AND NATIONALLY.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT MORE BUSINESSES
TO SUFFOLK BY OFFERING THE BANDWIDTH NEEDED IN TODAY'S BUSINESS
ENVIRONMENT.
FINALLY, WE CAN PROVIDE"MIDDLE MILE" ACCESS TO INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDERS TO BRING INTERNET SERVICES TO MORE OF OUR RESIDENTS.

Solving the Right Problem
Our Problem is not that Chesapeake Our Problem is that households and
City government is paying too much businesses throughout all of
for not enough broadband i Chesapeake (including City
(although we are) government) are paying too much
for not enough broadband—or can't
get broadband at all.
In solving City government's broadband problem,can also address Chesapeake's
broadband problem?
Can we prime the pump for private sector investment?
Can we encourage other broadband services providers to enter the market and
expand coverage?
Can we incentivize competition?

+' Bits and Bytes
• Bits are the "atoms" in the Internet
• 8 bits = 1 byte
• When we talk about data (the files stored on your computer or the
information transmitted over a network) we typically use "Byte"—
Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte, etc.
• When we talk about the speed of a network (how fast data is
transferred over a connection) we generally use "bits" per second—
, ' megabit, gigabit, etc.
• When service providers say they have a 1 Gig service offering they
are talking bits (1 Gbps).

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Mem• • ' Council
FROM: James E. Baker, City Manage
•rtDATE: October 18, 2019
SUBJECT: Financial Consequences of Joining the Southside Network Authority
and Eastern Virginia Regional Industrial Development Authority
Both the Southside Network Authority and the Eastern Virginia Regional Industrial
Development Authority represent Chesapeake's commitments to regional entities
and each could generate costs for the City. However, the extent of the upfront
commitments are quite different, as are the respective likelihoods that significant
additional costs will be incurred in the near-term future. Participation in each
Authority could also provide opportunities to generate revenue and/or facilitate
economic development opportunities.
To date, the City has not incurred any upfront costs with respect to the Eastern
Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority (EVRIFA). Further,we will not incur
any future costs, prior to joining the Authority. If we do join, the City will have to pay
an initial membership fee of$2,500 plus annual dues of around $3,000. The annual
dues are subject to change, but they can only be changed with the approval of all
member jurisdictions. Membership in the EVRIFA would also permit Chesapeake
to enter into individual project agreements with other member jurisdictions. A given
project agreement could require a substantial financial commitment and/or offer the
potential to generate significant City revenues (including the incorporation of a
multi jurisdiction revenue sharing arrangement). However, each and every project
agreement would have to be separately approved by the Chesapeake City Council.
Consequently,the ongoing costs for participating in the EVRIFA cannot exceed the
membership fee of$2,500 plus annual dues of$3,000 unless Chesapeake later
agrees to a proposed increase in dues or approves one or more separate project
agreements.
`fie Ctty of Chesapeake adheres to the principles of equal employment opportunity.
This aoucy ezter'ds to all programs and services supported by the CHy'
The Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 2
October 18, 2019
The financial considerations for the Southside Network Authority (SNA) are
substantially different. Chesapeake has already approved and contributed
$150,000 toward the costs of initial design work for a Regional Broadband Ring
(the Ring). This commitment, coupled with $350,000 from the other four
participating jurisdictions, was made through the HRPDCs Regional Broadband
Steering Committee and provided a total of$500,000 to fund the development of
30% design documents for the proposed Ring. This same Steering Committee
(which includes two representatives from each participant city) has also
unanimously recommended, and the Chesapeake City Council has already
approved, another $160,000 in project funding. This amount, in combination with
equal contributions from the other cities, will provide a total of the $800,000
estimated as necessary to complete the design of the Ring.
Chesapeake will soon be considering whether to take the next step in this project
and formally authorize the creation of, and Chesapeake's membership in, the SNA;
in conjunction with the cities of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk.
Contemporaneously with this approval, the Council will be asked to appropriate an
additional $40,000 as Chesapeake's equal share of the administrative costs
needed to operate and manage the SNA during the near-term future. This
$200,000 total, coming from all five cities, may be expended to hire one or more full
or part-time employees, the contractual provision of administrative support, or a
combination of both.
In contrast to the EVRIFA, this Authority is already focused on delivering a single,
identified capital project and the comprehensive agreement specifies that each of
the five cities will make roughly equal contributions for the construction of the Ring.
Still, the final cost for the Ring has not yet been determined nor has the mechanism
of funding or financing these costs. It is also likely that each city's financial
commitment to the SNA will need to be secured by some sort of separate
agreement approved by each jurisdiction and the SNA. There is a strong incentive
for each participating City to cooperate and agree to mutually acceptable
commitments to fund construction of the Ring. Otherwise, Chesapeake's prior
funding commitments that now total $310,000 and those of the other four cities will
have been largely wasted.
The cost of constructing the Ring can only be estimated at this point. However, a
reasonable guess as to the cost of building the entire Ring is around $20M dollars.
The Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Page 3
October 18, 2019
Therefore, Chesapeake's share of the construction costs is likely to be roughly $5M
dollars. When completed and fully operational,the project is envisioned to generate
revenues equal to or greater than the annual maintenance and.operational costs for the
Ring and this vision has been achieved in other jurisdictions. However, there can be no
guarantee that the project will, in fact, be self-sustaining. Further, it is likely the five
jurisdictions will need to continue sharing the funding of some operational and
administrative costs for at least the first few years as the Ring is constructed, made
operational and marketed to non-participant users. Based on preliminary estimates and
assuming no offsetting revenues, these operational costs should not exceed
$500,000 per year and Chesapeake's share should not exceed $100,000. Still, it is
fair to say that all five cities will have a strong incentive to complete construction
and fund the initial operation of the Ring, even if the actual costs exceed these
estimates; based on the time and dollars each city has already invested.
If the project is successful and significant revenues are generated, the SNA Board
would determine how such funds are allocated. Revenues could be applied to
reduce or eliminate costs incurred by member cities. They could also be allocated
to new projects, expanding the Ring or enhancing SNA offerings and services. If
sufficient revenues are generated they could be applied toward both. Still, it is true
that under the proposed structure, neither Chesapeake nor any other city could
unilaterally control the selection of potential future projects or the allocation of
project revenues. Chesapeake would have one voting member on a five member
Board.
In summary,joining either or both Authorities would result in future costs, but
could also generate substantial revenues. The costs of joining and maintaining a
membership in the EVRIFA are fairly nominal. Membership could lead to future
project agreements that may include both substantial costs and significant
revenues. However, the City Council would be asked to evaluate and approve
each project agreement individually.
The SNA Authority is already focused on construction and operation of a regional
broadband fiber ring. Though agreeing to form and join the SNA doesn't guarantee
a final funding agreement will be reached supporting the construction and operation
of the Ring, the City should not go forward to create and become a member of the
The Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council

October 18, 2019
SNA unless the Council also contemplates finalizing a subsequent commitment to
fund a proportional share of the costs of construction, along with the City's share of
maintenance and operational costs during the initial years of this project.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 7-58.1 Regarding Motorized Scooters in the
Resort Area and to Add Section 7-58.2 to the City Code to Require Entities that
Offer Sharable Motorized Mobility Devices for Hire to Be Licensed
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background: In August 2018, the City first experienced an influx of motorized
scooters for rent in the public rights-of-way. Since then, the City Council has received
multiple reports from citizens, business owners and medical personnel that motorized
scooters have been directly responsible for serious injuries. Concerns also have been
raised about the orderly movement of pedestrians being disrupted by the operation of
motorized scooters upon sidewalks and the discarding of such scooters upon sidewalks
and other rights-of-way. The Council desires to promote public safety and the fair and
responsible use of sharable motorized mobility devices, including motorized scooters.
• Considerations: A franchise process would require persons or entities that offer
motorized scooters to submit proposals that address the steps they would take to
promote public safety and the responsible use of such devices, and any license issued
in response to such solicitations would include regulations that further those goals.
This ordinance would require any business that offers motorized scooters or motorized
skateboards or electric power-assisted bicycles to obtain a nonexclusive license via a
City-administered franchise process. Because licensees will be subject to stricter
regulations, the ordinance provides that their riders would not be subject to the current
prohibition against operating scooters in the Resort Area. Legislation approved by the
General Assembly earlier this year enables the City to require such a license, but only
if the City enacts the license requirement prior to January 1 , 2020. The effective date
of this ordinance will be December 16, 2019. The process of soliciting franchise
proposals will begin after adoption of this ordinance.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend City Code Section 21-230 Pertaining to Traffic Calming
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background: On February 13, 2001, City Council enacted a traffic calming
ordinance to deter speeding on specifically designated residential streets. Unlike a routine
speeding citation, a citation for speeding on one of the designated streets can be
punished by a fine of$200.
• Considerations: The Traffic Calming Program has several phases. Phase I
consists of awareness and education, and generally takes place during discussions
between Traffic Engineering and the neighborhood representative. In this phase, the
neighborhood residents identify the streets they want evaluated for inclusion in the
program. Phase II involves speed studies of the identified streets. If the studies show an
85-percentile speed of at least 33 mph or, an average speed of at least 29 mph in a
posted 25 mph speed zone, then the Police Department will conduct a series of selective
enforcement initiatives, followed by traffic studies at the end of each enforcement cycle.
Should speeding persist or increase, the streets will be eligible to enter Phase III of the
program if at least 75% of the affected neighborhood residents in the identified area sign
a petition requesting the implementation of Phase III. Phase III of the program involves
posting of council-designated streets with signs warning drivers that speeding in this area
could result in a $200 fine.
The following streets have qualified for inclusion in the Traffic Calming Program
and will be added to the program upon adoption of this ordinance:
• Sullivan Boulevard between Aragona Boulevard and Haygood Road.
• Red Mill Boulevard between General Booth Boulevard and Warner Hall Drive.
• Public Information: This ordinance will be advertised in the same manner as
other Council agenda items.
• Attachments: Ordinance and maps.

indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the City, its agents and employees, from and
against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees,
in case it shall be necessary to file or defend an action arising out of the construction,
location or existence of the Temporary Encroachment.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein
contained shall be construed to enlarge the permission and authority to permit the
maintenance or construction of any encroachment other than that specified herein and
to the limited extent specified herein, nor to permit the maintenance and construction of
any encroachment by anyone other than the Grantee.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee agrees to
maintain the Temporary Encroachment so as not to become unsightly or a hazard.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee must obtain
and keep in effect liability insurance with the City as a named insured in an amount not
less than $500,000.00, per person injured and property damage per incident, combined,
with the City listed as an additional insured. The company providing the insurance must
be registered and licensed to provide insurance in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The
Grantee will provide endorsements providing at least thirty (30) days written notice to
the City prior to the cancellation or termination of, or material change to, any of the
insurance policies. The Grantee assumes all responsibilities and liabilities, vested or
contingent, with relation to the construction, location, and/or existence of the Temporary
Encroachment.
3
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Temporary
Encroachment must conform to the minimum setback requirements, as established by

It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee must
submit for review and approval, a survey of the Encroachment Area, certified by a
registered professional engineer or a licensed land surveyor, and/or "as built" plans of
the Temporary Encroachment sealed by a registered professional engineer, if required
by either the Department of Public Works City Engineer's Office or the Engineering
Division of the Department of Public Utilities.
It is further expressly understood and agreed that the City, upon
revocation of such authority and permission so granted, may remove the Temporary
Encroachment and charge the cost thereof to the Grantee, and collect the cost in any
manner provided by law for the collection of local or state taxes; may require the
Grantee to remove the Temporary Encroachment; and pending such removal, the City
may charge the Grantee for the use of the Encroachment Area, the equivalent of what
would be the real property tax upon the land so occupied if it were owned by the
Grantee; and if such removal shall not be made within the time ordered hereinabove by
this Agreement, the City may impose a penalty in the sum of One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) per day for each and every day that the Temporary Encroachment is allowed
to continue thereafter, and may collect such compensation and penalties in any manner
provided by law for the collection of local or state taxes.

caused this Agreement to be executed by his signature. Further, that the City of Virginia

of the underlying fee. The purchase price to be paid to the City is normally determined
according to the "Policy Regarding Purchase of City's Interest in Streets Pursuant to
Street Closures" approved by City Council. Copies of the policy are available in the
Planning Department. No purchase price shall be charged in these street closures,
however, because the City is both the owner of the underlying fee and the Applicant.
2. The Applicant shall resubdivide the property and vacate internal lot lines to
incorporate the closed areas into the adjoining parcels. The plat must be submitted and
approved for recordation prior to final street closure approval.
3. The Applicant shall provide the City of Norfolk with the access easements
reserved in the deed from the City of Norfolk to the City of Virginia Beach.
4. The Applicant shall verify that no private utilities exist within the rights-of-way
proposed for closure. Preliminary comments from the utility companies indicate that
there are no private utilities within the rights-of-way proposed for closure. If private
utilities do exist, easements satisfactory to the utility company must be provided.
5. Closure of the rights-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 vote to close the rights-of-way, this approval shall be considered null and
void.

and Lake Smith Natural Area)

The Applicant has been awaiting approval from the National Park Services to transfer a
recreational easement restriction from City-owned property located on Lynnhaven
Parkway to the Lake Lawson and Lake Smith Natural Area. A legal description was
submitted as a part of the extensive application process. Condition 2 of the subject
street closure requires recordation of a resubdivision plat incorporating the closed areas
into the adjacent parcels. The resubdivision would cause the legal description submitted
to the National Park Services to be inaccurate.
On October 2, 2013, the Applicant requested additional time to meet the conditions set
forth in the Street Closure Ordinance, which was approved by City Council on
November 12, 2013 by Ordinance ORD-3308B.
On October 14, 2014, the Applicant requested additional time to meet the conditions set
forth in the Street Closure Ordinance, which was approved by City Council on
November 18, 2014 by Ordinance ORD-3382C.
On September 27, 2017, the Applicant requested additional time to meet the conditions
set forth in the Street Closure Ordinance, which was approved by City Council on
November 7, 2017 by Ordinance ORD-3520U.
The Applicant is still awaiting the above-described approval from the National Park
Services. Therefore, on October 23, 2019, the Applicant requested an additional two (2)
year extension of time to meet the conditions set forth in the Street Closure Ordinance.
Staff has concluded that the request for the additional two (2) year extension is
reasonable.
• Recommendations:
Allow an extension of 24 months for satisfaction of the conditions.

\ AGENDA ITEM /
ITEM: An Ordinance to Appropriate $225,500 of Fund Balance from the Virginia Beach
Sheriff's Office Special Revenue Fund to the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office
Operating Budget for Replacement of Inmate Property Mobile Shelving Storage
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background: The Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office (VBSO) must process,
inventory, and store the property of the inmate population of the Virginia Beach
Correctional Center. According to the Virginia Administrative Code, "secure storage
space for inmate personal property shall be provided adjacent in proximity to the intake
or release area" (6VAC15-81-640(E)). The Administrative Code goes on to recommend
linear hanging space as well as bins or lockers. In the Virginia Beach Correctional
Center, storage is accomplished through a mobile shelving system.
The mobile shelving system used in the Virginia Beach Correctional Center is the
original equipment that was purchased upon the opening of the current Building C in
2005. Due to power surge, this equipment malfunctioned to the point of disrepair. As a
result, staff is currently moving units manually. Because of the weight of shelving, this is
an unsustainable practice.
• Considerations: To replace the mobile shelving system, the VBSO requests that
$225,500 be appropriated from the Fund Balance of the Sheriff's Special Revenue Fund
to the VBSO's FY 2019-20 Operating Budget. This amount is available, as the Fund
possesses a projected FY 2018-19 year-end balance of $869,561. It is the intent of the
VBSO to acquire a system that will have an override capacity that will enable operation
in the event of a system malfunction.
• Public Information: Normal Council Agenda notification process.
• Recommendations: Adoption of the attached ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Establish Revenues from Human Services to Police and
Increase Appropriations in the Police Department for Crisis Intervention Team
Security Center Overtime
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background: On May 7, 2019, City Council adopted an ordinance that accepted
and appropriated funding from the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and
Developmental Services (DBHDS) for the purpose of staffing law enforcement officers
at the Virginia Beach Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Assessment Site. In accordance
with DBHDS procedures, this funding was appropriated into the Operating Budget of the
Department of Human Services and was placed into the City's non-lapsing grant fund.
Concurrent with this action, the Department of Human Services and the Virginia Beach
Police Department entered into an agreement that stipulates that the VBPD would
provide the law enforcement support on a 24-hour basis.
• Considerations: In order to comply with DBHDS reporting requirements, the
revenues and expenditures from the Commonwealth must remain in the Human
Services Budget. However, for proper internal City tracking and control, Finance
instructs that overtime expenditures are to be posted to the department in which
personnel are employed. In this case, that means police officers involved in the CIT site
must be paid by way of the Police Department Operating Budget. The only way to
accomplish this and not subject the Police Department to reallocate existing overtime
appropriations away from other City priorities is to increase the Police Department's
Overtime budget. Therefore, this action will estimate additional revenues in the Police
Department's FY 2019-20 Operating Budget from Human Services and will
correspondingly increase the Police Department's FY 2019-20 Overtime appropriations.
At the same time, to meet state rules, expenditures will still be charged to the
appropriate Human Services grant account. Based on one quarter of actual costs, it is
estimated that $300,000 will be needed to provide the law enforcement support at the
CIT site in FY 2019-20.
• Public Information: Normal Council Agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funding from the VDOT Transportation
Alternatives Set-Aside Program to Capital Project #4-064, "City Bikeways and
Trails Plan Implementation II"
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background: The Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program was
authorized in the federal transportation bill — "Fixing America's Surface Transportation
Act", also known as the FAST Act. The federal program is intended to help local
sponsors fund community-based projects that expand travel choices and enhance the
transportation experience by improving the cultural, historical and environmental
aspects of the transportation infrastructure. Projects funded under this program focus on
providing pedestrian and bicycle facilities and community improvements. The
Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program is part of the Federal-aid highway
program. It is not a grant program, and funds are only available on a reimbursement
basis with a 20% minimum local match. Starting in 2017, the Transportation Alternatives
Set-Aside Program began a biennial application cycle with project award and allocations
for both FY19 and FY20. The City has already accepted and appropriated the FY19
federal allocations.
The City received $170,000 in FY19 allocations, and an additional $519,520 in FY20
federal program funds for the following programs need to be appropriated.
Total FY19 FY20 Local
Project Federal Federal Match
Cost Allocation Allocation
Violet Bank Trail $462,099 $ 70,000 $248,848 $143,251
Three Oaks Elementary Path $537,206 $100,000 $270,672 $166,534
Total $999,305 $170,000 $519,520 $309,785
• Considerations: The Violet Bank Trail and Three Oaks Elementary Multi-Use
Path projects are included in the City Bikeways and Trails Plan Implementation II
Capital Project #4-064. There is sufficient local funding within the project to satisfy the
City's required local match.
• Public Information: Normal City Council agenda process.

AGENDA ITEM /
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Byrne JAG Grant Funds for Law
Enforcement Purposes
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background: The Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (Byrne JAG) Local
Solicitation is a grant from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) that is used to
assist with law enforcement and criminal justice programs. The Byrne JAG supports a
broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on local needs and
conditions. The policy of the City of Virginia Beach is for a Community Criminal Justice
Board, comprised of City representatives from Police, the Sheriff, the Courts, and
Community Corrections and Pre-Trial Services, to agree upon the best use of these
funds prior to the City's application to the DOJ. This board met on August 7, 2019 to
consider spending proposals and determine distribution of funds anticipated to be
received from the federal Fiscal Year 2019 version of this grant.
• Considerations: The total award for this grant is $80,125. No local match is
required. The Virginia Beach Community Criminal Justice Board recommends that the
funds be used as follows:
• $10,000 to the Sheriff's Office to purchase one K-9 dog and related supplies.
This dog will be trained to detect illegal drugs that inmates attempt to bring into
the Correctional Center;
• $48,222 to the Police Department to purchase multiple radar and Lidar units, and
one vericom unit to be used for traffic enforcement by the Uniform Patrol Unit;
• $3,000 to the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court to purchase dual screen
monitors to increase staff productivity when processing case papers; and
• $18,903 to the Community Corrections and Pre-Trial Services Division to
purchase additional hair follicle and urine drug screen tests to be used in court-
ordered testing and to hire a temporary contractual administrative position to
assist with drug test submissions and other administrative tasks.
These recommendations were first communicated to Council through a letter enclosed
in the Friday packet of August 23. Based on grant requirements, a public comment is
required, and this comment is included in the November 12 agenda. DOJ also requires
that the Chief Executive sign a certificate that attests to the fact that these requirements
have been satisfied. According to the DOJ, "the Chief Executive is the highest elected
official of the jurisdiction." As such, the attached ordinance authorizes the Mayor to sign
this certification on behalf of the City.
• Public Information: Normal Council Agenda process.
• Alternatives: No other funding is available for these projects.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.
• Attachments: Ordinance
Recommended Action: Approval

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: GENERAL BOOTH VENTURE, LLC [Applicant] KAMPGROUNDS OF
AMERICA, INC. [Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Automobile
Service Station) on properties located in the northeast corner of General
Booth Boulevard and Prosperity Road (GPINs 2415684332, 2415685662,
2415685974, 241568845), COUNCIL DISTRICT— BEACH
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background:
The subject 3.20-acre site is part of a larger 9.50-acre parcel comprised of four
parcels located at the intersection of General Booth Boulevard/Oceana
Boulevard/Prosperity Road and is zoned B-2 Community Business District. The
property is proposed to be developed with a 6,000 square foot convenience store
and 16 fueling stations. Fuel sales requires a Conditional Use Permit for an
Automobile Service Station.
Vehicular access to the site will be via a new shared right-in/right-out access point
along General Booth Boulevard and an access point along Prosperity Road.
Proposed right-of-way improvements include: new right-turn and left-turn lanes
into the site; a reconfiguration of the intersection at Prosperity Road and General
Booth Boulevard; a sidewalk along Prosperity Road; and a 10-foot wide shared
use path along General Booth Boulevard. The proposed convenience store will
have contemporary architectural design including exterior building materials of
neutral-color EIFS with a stone water table and gray standing-seam metal roof.
The fuel canopy and dumpster enclosure will match the architectural style and
color scheme of the convenience store building. A seven-foot tall monument-style
freestanding sign is proposed near the intersection. The 50 parking spaces
proposed on the site exceed the Zoning Ordinance requirement of 33 spaces.
• Considerations:
The General Booth Boulevard/Oceana Boulevard/Prosperity Road intersection
has high traffic volumes in the morning and afternoon peak hours. Without any
immediate improvements to the intersection, additional traffic from the proposed
use will cause additional delays in the morning peak hour. With the voluntary
proposed road improvements noted above, this impact will be mitigated. The
applicant also submitted a Supplemental Traffic Information letter that discusses
the amount of traffic that by-right development could generate without the benefit
of improvements to the intersection. These by-right developments could generate
General Booth Venture, LLC
Page 2 of 4
more traffic than that generated by this application. Traffic Engineering Staff
concurred with these findings.
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the property as being within the "Suburban
Area". Land use compatibility within the Suburban Area is an important guiding
planning principle and is achieved for the subject property through a logical site
layout, substantial setbacks, Category IV landscape buffer, and streetscape.
Contributing to the guiding principle of improved connectivity, the development will
provide a new sidewalk along Prosperity Road as well as a 10-foot wide shared
use path along General Booth Boulevard to serve pedestrians, bicyclists and users
of the regional bus network.
Staff received 11 emails of opposition, mostly noting concerns related to traffic
congestion. There were no speakers at the Planning Commission public hearing.
As part of the applicant's outreach, there were discussions with residents of the
Birdneck Lakes, Park Place, and Red Wing neighborhoods. The applicant also
held a meeting with residents on October 30th at the Princess Anne Recreation
Center.
The Planning Commission voted 10-0 to recommend approval, due largely to the
access and right-of-way improvements and because many by-right uses could
generate even more traffic than this proposal.
■ Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this request. The Planning Commission passed
a motion to recommend approval of this request by a vote of 10-0.
1 . When the property is developed, it shall be in substantial conformance with the
submitted exhibit entitled, "CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PRELIMINARY
PLAN," prepared by Kimley Horn, dated 5/7/19, which has been exhibited to

2. The applicant shall install the improvements within the rights-of-way as
described in the Traffic Impact Analysis titled, "Wawa (KOA Site) ," prepared

a north-bound right-turn lane along General Booth Boulevard at the proposed
access point; a second westbound left turn lane at the General Booth
Boulevard and Prosperity Road intersection; and an east-bound left-turn lane
on Prosperity Road at the proposed access point. The applicant shall also be
required to install an east-bound through lane on Oceana Boulevard at the
intersection that shall be built in conjunction and timed as determined
appropriate by the Department of Public Works, with the City intersection
improvement project scheduled for construction in 2026.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The vacant 9.50-acre site is located at the intersection of General Booth Boulevard/Oceana Boulevard/
Prosperity Road and is zoned Conditional B-2 Community Business District. The applicant desires to subdivide
the site into two parcels. The southern proposed parcel consisting of 3.20 acres is the subject of this request.
• The property is proposed to be redeveloped with a 6,049 square foot convenience store and 16 fueling pumps.
The fuel sales require a Conditional Use Permit for an Automobile Service Station. The applicant does not have
current development plans for the northern proposed parcel at this time.
• Access to the site will be via a right-in/right-out access point along General Booth Boulevard via a common
access drive through the northern parcel and an access point along Prosperity Road. A right-turn lane will be
added north-bound on General Booth Boulevard at the proposed access point; an east-bound left-turn lane on
Prosperity Road at the proposed access point; and the intersection at Prosperity and General Booth will be
reconfigured to include a second westbound left turn lane on Prosperity Road.
• The proposed convenience store features traditional coastal-style architecture with a tan EIFS façade exterior
with a stone veneer water table and gray Dutch-seam metal roof accents. Likewise, the fuel canopy and
dumpster enclosure will match the stone and color scheme of the proposed convenience store building.
• The Landscape Plan depicts the required Category IV landscape buffer (a mix of trees and shrubs) along the
eastern property lines, adjacent to vacant residentially-zoned property.
• An approximately seven-feet tall, monument-style, freestanding sign with a stone base is proposed near the
intersection.
• The 50 parking spaces depicted on the concept plan exceeds the Zoning Ordinance requirement of 33 spaces by
17.
• The site is located in the Southern Rivers Watershed. A proposed stormwater management facility will be
constructed on the property to address stormwater quality and quantity control for the site.

Evaluation and Recommendation
The General Booth Boulevard/Oceana Boulevard/Prosperity Road intersection suffers from very high traffic volumes in
the morning and afternoon peak hours on specific movements that include the north-bound General Booth left turns
and the east-bound Oceana right turns. While the east-bound right turns are"free flow" and are not controlled by the
traffic signal,they do cause upstream congestion on east-bound Oceana Boulevard, past the Eaglewood Road traffic
signal to the west. The vehicles making north-bound left turns often back up traffic into the through lanes and require
much of the green time at this intersection.
Traffic Engineering Staff indicated that while the proposed convenience store with fuel pumps will not add to either of
these overcapacity traffic movements, it will add traffic to west-bound left and through movements on Prosperity Road
at the signal and east-bound through movements on Oceana Boulevard. Without any immediate improvements at the
intersection,the additional traffic from the proposed use will cause a 13.4 seconds per vehicle (33%) increase in delay in
the morning peak hour. The applicant has proposed to add a second west-bound left turn lane on Prosperity Road at
the intersection to mitigate some of the increased delay caused by the proposed use. With this improvement,the
increase in delay at the intersection is reduced to 8.1 seconds per vehicle (20%). The applicant has also proposed to add
an east-bound through lane on Oceana Boulevard at the intersection that cannot be built until the City intersection
improvement project is constructed in 2026. This improvement will be required to mitigate the proposed use's traffic
with the new intersection configuration. The concept plan also depicts other improvements, including a right-turn lane
on north-bound General Booth at the proposed right-in/right-out access point and an east-bound left turn lane on
Prosperity Road at their proposed access point. These improvements are required to mitigate the traffic impacts to
background traffic at the access location.
The applicant submitted a Supplemental Traffic Information letter that discusses the amount of traffic that a by-right
development could generate without the benefit of the voluntary improvements to the General Booth
Boulevard/Oceana Boulevard/Prosperity Road intersection. The letter reports that several by-right developments have
the potential to generate more trips per day than the proposed convenience store with fuel pumps.As an example,the
site could be developed with a 4,800 square foot building with a fast food restaurant with a drive-thru, and a shared
building with both a 2,500 square foot fast food restaurant without a drive-thru and a 2,250 square foot coffee shop
with a drive-thru. These by-right developments could generate approximately 6,000 trips per day, compared to the
5,100 trips per day anticipated with the application. Traffic Engineering Staff concurs with these statements.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies three guiding planning principles for the Suburban Area that have been established
to guard against possible threats to stable areas and to provide a framework for neighborhoods and places that are
increasingly vibrant and distinctive. Two are especially relevant to the property and the proposed land use. The first is
the principle that emphasizes the desire to "Create and Maintain Neighborhood Stability and Sustainability—create
'Great Neighborhoods'." Land use compatibility within the Suburban Area is vital to the stability of the city's
neighborhoods. Land use compatibility for the subject property is achieved through a logical site layout, substantial
setbacks, Category IV landscape buffer, and streetscape.
Adjoining the property to the north is the residual parcel in the B-2 District which may be developed with by-right
commercial developments including retail and eating and drinking establishments. Both property's will share a common
access drive, maximizing vehicular connectivity. The view from the adjoining vacant parcel in the R-5D District to the
east will be mitigated by Category IV landscape buffering. Confronting to the south,the view from the vacant parcel in
the AG-2 District across Prosperity Road will be mitigated by streetscape and landscaping along the perimeter of the
parking lot.The public right-of-way improvements proposed by the applicant and conditioned below will mitigate
negative impacts to the flow of traffic at the intersection of Prosperity Road and General Booth Boulevard. Confronting
to the west, across General Booth Boulevard, is a fast food restaurant in the B-2 District. Overall,the proposal
contributes to stability and sustainability in the neighborhood by providing a commercial use specializing in the sale of
General Booth Venture, LLC
Agenda Item 4
Page 3
convenience food items and fuel sales, on a site that maximizes vehicular connectivity, provides adequate landscape
buffers and streetscape, and utilizes a coastal architectural theme in keeping with the location of the property at the
gateway to the Resort Area, furthering the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
In regard to the second guiding principle "Create and Maintain a Transportation System that Provides Connectivity and
Enhances Mobility Regardless of Mode," the applicant will provide appropriate sidewalks along the frontage of both
General Booth Boulevard and Prosperity Road to serve pedestrians, bicyclists and users of the regional bus network.
These include a ten-foot wide trail along General Booth Boulevard and a new sidewalk along Prosperity Road.
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 conditions noted below.

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 framework 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 the future.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in 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 natural or cultural resources on the site.

The General Booth Boulevard/Oceana Boulevard/Prosperity Road intersection functions over—capacity in the morning
and afternoon peak hours and is ranked as the seventh most congested intersection in the City. The City of Virginia
Beach was awarded Smart Scale funding from VDOT in 2018 for the improvement of this intersection and improvements
are scheduled to be completed at this intersection by 2027. When completed, the intersection will function at an
acceptable level of service.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
This site must connect to City water in Prosperity Road. There is an existing 10-inch City water main on Prosperity Road.
Sewer
City gravity sanitary sewer is not currently available. There is an existing six-inch City sanitary sewer force main on
Prosperity Road.There is a proposed residential development of the parcels adjacent to the east where public gravity
sanitary sewer is planned to be extended to a point that could potentially serve the Wawa site. Public Utilities
recommends coordination between the two projects so that a gravity connection may be possible.

Conditional Use Permit(Automobile Service Station)
Northeast corner of General Booth Blvd. & Prosperity Road
District—Beach
October 9, 2019
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - HEARD
Ms. Sandloop:Madam Chair, final order of businesses is agenda item number four, General Booth
Venture, LLC, which is an application for a conditional use permit, an automobile
service station on property located at the northeast corner of General Booth
Boulevard and Prosperity Road located in the Beach District. Madam Chair the
applicant has three speakers, first one Bruce Berlin. They also provided me with
supplemental handouts, which I will pass to Mr. Tajan.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Welcome
Mr. Berlin: Madam Chair, members of planning. My name is Bruce Berlin, 1081 19th Street.
I'm one of the managing partners of Venture Realty Group. Venture is the
combination of two firms' Commercial Real Estate Services and Ellis-Gibson
Development that have done business here in Virginia Beach for over 35 years.
Some of our projects include Red Mill Commons, The Marketplace at Hilltop, the
Crossings at Red Mill, the Amerigroup Campus and the proposed Dome Site, as
we've re-named Atlantic Park. Today, we're here to seek your approval for a
conditional use permit of a 3.2 acre development of a Wawa Gas Station and
Convenience Store at the corner of General Booth and Prosperity. The acreage is
currently zoned B2. Wawa will employ some 50 permanent associates, and will
feature the architectural enhanced elevations that you see in your package. We
have the engineering firm of Kimberly Horn here to answer technical questions, as
well as Jeb Bell of Wawa to speak with you about the history of Wawa in Virginia
and the good corporate citizen they are in Hampton Roads. Since I appeared before
you last time to ask for deferral, we have worked extensively with Virginia Beach
staff to reach an agreement on how we can improve the intersection and then receive
staffs approval for our CUP. Venture Realty Group is willing to spend
approximately $500,000 in offsite improvements to improve the intersection that
include a dual left from prosperity on the southbound General Booth, a decel lane
from General Booth into the site and further widening of lane improvements on
Prosperity. In addition,we will set aside funds to be spent for the further expansion
of a northbound turn lane from Oceana to General Booth when the city does it Smart
Scale improvements to this intersection in 2027. For community outreach, we
contacted the adjacent neighborhoods of Bird Neck Lakes, Red Wing, and Park
Place to introduce the project and offer to make a formal presentation to their civic
leagues. Today,none have asked for such meeting as the majority of their members
are in favor of the Wawa. We've continued this email engagement up and through
1
today and certainly offer to meet with any Civic League prior to city council. By
meeting staffs requested on-site improvements, we have gained their
recommendation for approval of this CUP and now seek your approval as well. I
standby for questions after you've heard from our other speakers, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody have any questions for Mr. Berlin. Great. Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Jeb Bell.
Mr. Bell: Good afternoon, Madam Chair, members of planning, happy to be here with you
today. My name is Jeb Bell,real estate engineer with Wawa company that I'm really
proud to represent and have an opportunity to tell you a little bit about today. One
thing that I'm always reminded of is that having grown up in South Eastern
Pennsylvania, not everyone is familiar with our name, who we are, what we do in
our history, as I'm used to, as I take for granted. Wawa is actually a Lenape name,
Native American name for Canada goose. It's also the name of the town in
Pennsylvania where our founder R. D. Wood had a family farm, had cows,
eventually built a dairy and started selling milk to his neighbors. And then that
turned into a delivery service and then we built our first Wawa food market in April
16, 1964 in Folsom, Pennsylvania, and there was a way to kind of branch out from
the delivery business,which was kind of growing out of favor at the time. We were
just a food market convenience store in our community for about 32 years until we
opened up, we added fuel to an existing store in 1996. So for 32 years, we were
known in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, that market as just a food and convenience
store. When we entered the Virginia market,we had fuel as an offer. So,you know,
down these parts are mostly identified with as a fuel service provider. But our
history, you know, suggests otherwise. So we,we have a lot of things that make us
unique in the industry. And I think to the casual observer, some things are
immediately evident. We operate a clean, safe facility. It's well attended, it's a
busy facility. I think from the outside, you can gather a lot from that. We care
about what we do, we're privately held so we invest in our people, in our facilities,
in our communities that we serve as a result of our being popular and running a
good business, we obviously create a lot of revenue for the, you know,
municipalities. But I think that doesn't paint clear enough picture of really the value
that we represent. I think what you'll see is the real successes inside the store. If
you have ever seen a grand opening, or hopefully will you consider attending one
in the future in Virginia Beach what strikes me is, is the faces of the people that are
there, whether that's, you know, old customers who now have one in their
community, or it's the new associates and the employees with a new opportunity.
So you'll see a smile on the face of a general manager who's got a new opportunity,
moving up from another store, right. As we grow, we create opportunities for all
of our associates; the Assistant General Manager is going to be a kid from another
store who's got a leadership position at this store. And then you've got, you know,
all in all, there's about nine management positions and there's 40 to 50 associates
that will be employed at the store. But at the ground level, I guess what I would
say is, Wawa is an opportunity, it's a ground floor opportunity, it's an entry level
position, but the sky's the limit because all around me at work and at every store
2
are people that started at the bottom and work their way up because the only thing
that you need to be successful at Wawa is to work hard, and to care and with that,
you can go to any level, I'm in the construction real estate depai linent. I've got guys
working next to me that started in the stores and our head of store design started in
the stores. It really is, I think, unique in that respect. We're privately held, we
provide tuition reimbursement, we provide an ESOP, employee stock option
program, it's a real opportunity to actually retire. So I'm proud of everything we do
and I'm happy to be here and take any questions that you have. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, any questions for Mr. Bell. Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Randy Royal.
Mr. Royal: Afternoon folks, Chairperson Oliver, members of Planning Commission, Randy
Royal, business address, Kimberly Horn Associates, 4525 Main Street, Virginia
Beach. I'm here to talk primarily about the engineering. I understand you got a
little bit of a briefing this morning. It's a pre-briefing but I want to talk about storm
drainage and traffic. Storm drainage, we've talked about before with rezoning with
use permits were held to a much higher standard, 20%more rainfall intensity, foot
and a half sea level rise, which is what we've done excellent. They've got the new
plan up there. It's a little different from the one that you saw previously. You see
the pond there in the upper left hand corner, that's about an acre and a half for 3.2
acre site. That's 47% of the site for storm drainage, again towards the city's strive
to fix flooding and make sure that we don't create any additional flooding. So
there's to be zero impact on the downstream systems. We've presented preliminary
calculations to staff and they have agreed that with the final design, they're
confident that we can have that zero impact. Traffic, yes this is a busy intersection.
The primary movements are the northbound General Booth Boulevard left and the
Oceana Eastbound rights people going to come in from Oceana, we don't have any
impact on that, and possibly a positive impact to pull people off of it. Our impacts
are the westbound lifts and through on Prosperity, coming out of Prosperity from
the side and the eastbound through movements from Oceana people going straight
across to Prosperity. To that end, and Mr. Berlin just told you on Prosperity Road
doesn't show there, can we go back to the other site plan please? Hard to see there
but we've got an extra left turn lane, so we've got there we got a dual less coming
out of Prosperity there. And Mr. Berlin spoke to it with a Smart Scale project on
the other side previously, there was going to be dual rights, and it was going to be
a combination through and left turn movement. We're paying for an additional lane
so that there's a dedicated left turn lane and a dedicated through lane in addition to
the two right turn lanes that and the right in right out on General Booth and the left
and all Prosperity that's the half million dollars these guys are putting forth to
improve the traffic situation out there. I've seen the emails, I've seen it happened,
Dunkin Donuts is a problem that's part of this. It's a busy intersection, people are
making the left on general booth on the Oceana somebody slowing down or it's
backed up in Dunkin Donuts, not a whole lot we can do and not a whole lot traffic
engineering can do that was a by-right use. They didn't go through this process.
Because of this process, we're putting a lot of improvements in, maybe people are
3
going to Wawa and there's less traffic going that way, but that's the situation that
we're not creating the same situation. I think a lot of what you may have heard
from the neighbors is that situation where the turn into Dunkin Donuts. The use
itself is a by-right use, the gas is why we're here in front of you for a use permit.
There are other uses that could go on there by right; we have actually looked at fast
food with a drive-through fast food without a drive through, coffee shop with a
drive through. That particular use fits on this property and it would generate more
traffic than the Wawa would. So,you're getting a Wawa, which I think you heard
from Jeb and I think everybody's seen them, they're great use, employ a lot of
people. It's good corporate citizen here, getting a half million dollars in
improvements. We've addressed the traffic and storm drains, be happy to speak to
it more. But hope with all that you'll see fit to recommend approval city council
and I'll stand by for questions. Thank you.
Mr. Ripley: Randy, is the storm water that service the rest of the site as well?
Mr. Royal: No sir.
Mr. Ripley: Or is that just for the Wawa?
Mr. Royal: That is for the Wawa, the intention is for the when the other stuff comes in, and
they will probably enlarge it. At this time, they didn't want us to design everything
for the other sites because we didn't know but that will be the plan. So it'll be
efficient there,but that's just for the Wawa that we are going to have.
Mr. Ripley: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, thank you.
Mr. Wall: So did you infer that there are no impacts to General Booth based on the Wawa,
because I think that?
Mr. Royal: There are minor impacts. We've reduced them with what we're proposing to do
with the additional lane improvements there.
Mr. Wall: Right. So I think Rick kind of inferred that, indirectly will affect the traffic,just
because it's going to shorten the delay time?
Mr. Royal: Well, it will link to the delay time. The green phase has to be what it is.
Mr. Wall: Right? That it's going to take up the capacity that isn't necessarily attributed to
General Booth but they are taking that.
Mr. Royal: So let me clarify the zero impact was storm drainage, that's what we have to do.
There is impact to traffic. My point being that without this use permit,we wouldn't
be here. If there was not gas, and you wouldn't get you would certainly have an
impact,you would have possibly more of an impact, by-right stuff could go in there
and you get none of these lane improvements. There still is an impact. We cannot
make a zero impact on this intersection,but we have reduced it. Mr. Lowman could
speak to that with the improvements we're proposing there. Okay.
4
Ms. Oliver: Yes, I have a question.
Ms. Redmond: And Randy you may not know the answer to this question, but the Dunkin Donuts
how large of a site is that?
Mr. Royal: Half acre, or acre maybe, it's not. I said triangular shape. I suspect that there was
limited access on General Booth Boulevard. There's an opening for us, there may
not, I am looking at Rick. There's not one, right? So there's no access on General
Booth Boulevard. So the only access to that property can be from Oceana. So
again, Rick's hands were pretty much tied and that's one of the reasons we got an
issue there.
Mr. Redmond: Right. Okay. And this is a 3.2 acre site.
Mr. Royal: Yes, sir. And it has a gap in the General Both Boulevard limited access, we've
combined it so the other uses nobody else will get another access as Mr. Ripley was
speaking to the other developments. They will share the access that we have, the
decel lane on General Booth for which is sized appropriately and the left turn in
from Prosperity.
Mr. Redmond:Yeah. So with the B2 zoning there, there could have been, you know, Dunkin
Donuts could go on here as well as possibly to other uses?
Mr. Royal: Right.
Mr. Redmond: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Great. Thank you. We have any other speakers?
Ms. Sandloop:No, ma'am. Okay. We all want to close this for the commissioners, will close the
hearing and anybody have any comments? Yes Dave?
Mr. Redmond:When is this aerial from? Am I missing the Dunkin Donuts on there? There are
going to be impacts for just about any kind of improvement there in the built
environment. In this case, this applicant has done, has gone a very long way
towards mitigating those impacts to transportation improvements. When an
alternative scenario which is by right development of this site would result in
greater impact and no mitigation. At the same time, these facilities in my view are
luxuries. They are so busy because people like them so much and all of the people
in the surrounding communities are going to come to enjoy them and be
convenienced by them in ways that they don't today. If you're in a business like
mine, where you move around a lot in the daytime, you stop at places like this,
which I didn't when I was chained to a desk,but in the job I'm in, I'm always moving
around. And you see the people who come in, day in, day out various time for the
day, they get gas, they get a breakfast sandwich, they get a sandwich in the
afternoon, they buy drinks. They get a cup of coffee, they stop. They are so busy
because they serve so many needs, I wish one were closer to my house. Above all,
I think and that's a good slide to have, thank you. It seems to me they've taken
really good care in designing this site. Both of those entrances are at the far corners
5
of it, far back on Prosperity and as far back on General Booth as you can get there,
a long way from the intersection, the building set, well set back from the road way.
It's just done in a way to minimize impact as best as possible to mitigate the impact
with two transportation projects and all with the use that people value and enjoy
and we only have more of them. This is a commercial corner, there's no two ways
about it, and you can stare out on a map and know it's a commercial corner. This
strikes me as a very appropriate and desirable commercial use and they've taken
great care to do it. So I'm going to support it and I hope you will too.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else? Jan.
Ms. Rucinski: I just wanted to, to kind of piggyback on that and say that it looks to me like a lot
of thought went into this and not just thought for today or tomorrow but for thought
down the road with being able to make the improvements and, you know, help the
city out with the traffic improvements in that area. And I think that's what we need
is good neighbors like that, that are willing to not just think about their lot of land
and what they can do today. But how they can help impact the city as we move
forward, so I'm going to support the application.
Ms. Oliver: Whitney.
Mr. Graham: I agree with both of you to. It's not very often you see a developer come in for
really one use at this point who's adding two lanes and a turning lane mean that it's
expensive? And I think they, I agree, I think they did a great job trying to make the
site work.
Mr. Wall: Can I make a motion to approve?
Ms. Oliver: Please, I will second it.
Ms. Sandloop:The vote is open. By the recorded vote of 10-0 agenda item number four has been
approved.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH [Applicant & Property Owner] Major
Entertainment Venue (Signage Package for the Virginia Beach Sports
Center and Convention Center) for the properties located south of 264,west
of Parks Avenue, north of 18th Street, west of Washington Avenue, north of
17th Street, east of N. Birdneck Road (GPINs 2417661204, 2417760211,
2417763377, 2417769535, 2417866932, 2417778217), COUNCIL DISTRICT —
BEACH
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
• Background:
Large venues, such as the Virginia Beach Sports Center and the Convention
Center, often warrant larger scale signs than typical businesses. For this reason,
other than standard signage allowed by the Zoning Ordinance, signage for Major
Entertainment Venues have their own set of regulations and are permitted only
with the approval of the City Council. The Sports Center and the Convention
Center have submitted a joint request to install a sign package consisting of nine
signs. The package includes upgrades to two existing Convention Center signs
and the addition of seven signs that will support the Sports Center.
• Considerations:
The proposed sign package is designed to complement the existing wayfinding
and informational signs, and create a seamless arrival and departure experience
for both venues by providing clear information in a simple format. 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 request.
• 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 10-0, to
recommend approval of this request.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• Other than signage allowed by the standard zoning regulations,signage for Major Entertainment Venues (MEVs)
is allowed only with the approval of City Council (Sec. 218 City Zoning Ordinance).
• In 2015,three MEV signs associated with the previously considered arena project were approved on the same
property, but the electronic display signs were much larger in scale and placed in different locations.
• The Sports Center and Convention Center have submitted a joint request to install a sign package consisting of
nine signs.The package includes upgrades to two existing Convention Center signs and the addition of seven
signs that will support the Sports Center.Three of the signs include electronic displays.The setbacks for these
signs will vary based on site context.
• The proposed sign package contains four sign types:
1. Monument with Illuminated Board-This is the largest sign measuring =Y�
15'H x 6'-4"W(including the base and cap) and approximately 66 square
feet of sign area per side.The 2'H x 4'W Sports Center logo and 6'H x 6'W • e
electronic board will be seen on both sides.A space measuring 3'H x 6'W I
at the top of the sign is blank in anticipation of sponsor artwork to be
added in the future.As required by the Zoning Ordinance,the following rllll1►
specifications have been provided for the electronic display sign:
• The pixel pitch of the proposed electronic display is W16mm LED RGB.
• The displays may include video streaming and static images and text with an average dwell time
of approximately three seconds.
• The illumination level of 750 candelas per square meter is the maximum that will be utilized at
night and 10,000 candela per square meter is the maximum that will be utilized during daytime.
• The display signs will not be connected to audio speakers at any time.
• All electrical service for signs will be underground.
2. Large Directional Parking—These two signs measure 7'H x 3'-4" W I
ORISIN
_ -
(including the base and cap),totaling approximately 15 square feet
of sign area per side for each sign.The signs include surface
mounted reflective white lettering over a blue background on both
sides of the sign.The base and cap of the signs are white.
3. Small Directional Parking—These four signs measure 4'H x 2'-8"W
(including posts and cap),totaling approximately five square feet of
sign area per side mounted above two posts.The signs will consist
awn
of surface mounted reflective lettering over a blue background on
both sides of the sign.The cap of the sign will be painted white and )
wHe®amp®�,
the remainder will be blue. 4_....�.
4. Illuminated Board Retrofits—Two of the Convention Center's
existing monument signs will be retrofit with 4'H x 6'W electronic
boards under the existing Convention Center logo,totaling t - ffiy
approximately 33 square feet of sign area per side.The existing �
signs are 12'H x 7'-1"W(from grade to top)and have been
determined to be structurally sufficient and able to accommodate
the electronic boards without issue. Specifications for the electronic
displays will match those listed under#1 above.

Evaluation and Recommendation
Sec. 218 of the City Zoning Ordinance specifies certain criteria for City Council to consider for Major Entertainment
Venue sign requests:
(1) The extent to which the proposed signage is consistent with applicable sign regulations and Sign Design
Guidelines, if any, of the district.
Sec. 8.1.1 of the Oceanfront Resort District Form-Based Code describes the intent,findings, and
establishment of this area's Special Sign District, affirming that signage in this area should enhance the
overall aesthetics of the district so as not to detract from the City's investment in beautifying this area.
The proposed signs are consistent with these findings. The conditions recommended below ensure the
signs will be designed and used in a way to promote events at the Sports Center and Convention
Center without being overly bright or distracting.
(2) The extent to which the proposed signage is consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive
Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan and the zoning regulations adopted to implement the Plan recognize that a
large part of the vision for the Resort SGA is to attract visitors to the area. Signs for major
entertainment venues, such as the Sports Center and Convention Center,warrant a larger scale and
function than typical business signs. For this reason, MEV signs have their own set of regulations and
must be approved by City Council.
(3) The extent to which the scale, color, materials, shape, illumination and landscaping of the proposed
signage, considered as a whole, is compatible with surrounding properties.
The proposed sign package is designed to complement the existing Convention Center signs that serve
as wayfinding throughout the complex. The proposed Sports Center signs have similar scales and
signage hierarchy, coloring, shapes, and illumination. The existing signs around the Convention Center
have minimal to no plantings around the bases and are typically integrated into hardscapes which will
be continued for this installation.
City of Virginia Beach
Agenda Item 3
Page 3
(4) The impact of the proposed signage on traffic safety,taking into consideration the degree to which view
obstructions are created or improved, avoidance of confusion with or obstruction of traffic control signs
and devices,and other safety-related factors.
Once further details are finalized,the exact location and placement of the signs will be reviewed
carefully to ensure there are no view obstructions or confusion with other traffic control signs and
devices.
(5) The degree to which the proposed signage is integrated into a unified development concept,considering
the building design,other signs, landscaping,traffic circulation,and other development features of the
property.
The proposed Sports Center signs have their own unique design theme that is also complementary to
the Convention Center signs.The complete electronic display and wayfinding sign package will create a
seamless arrival/departure experience by providing clear information in a simple format.
In summary,Staff finds the proposed signs are appropriate in size, location, and appearance and satisfy the standards
above without causing unwelcome impacts to neighboring properties. Therefore,Staff recommends approval of this
application.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
Adopted in 2008, the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) is currently undergoing an update. However, many of
the guiding principles from the 2008 plan will remain as the vision and implementation steps evolve. The plan strives
to transform the resort area into a year-round, world class urban resort destination that transitions into a vibrant
diverse neighborhood. Three distinct yet complementary districts, Laskin Gateway, Central Beach, and Rudee Marina,
are envisioned to extend the energy at the beach into the adjoining blocks of these districts through streetscape
improvements, connective uses, and view corridors. The subject site is located in the Central Beach District, a
pedestrian-scale, mixed-use entertainment district geared towards year-round activity for residents and visitors alike.
The Convention Center and new Sports Center anchor the west end of the Central Beach District as large format
venues for conventions, sports, and entertainment.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
Utility locations will be considered when undergrounding electrical service for signage.
Sewer
