CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance 1) Declaring Easements in Excess of the City's Needs,
2) Approving the Conveyance of Easements, and 3) Authorizing Temporary
Encroachments on City Property
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020
• Background: Stokes Properties, L.L.C. (the "Developer") is the owner of the 9,496
square foot parcel at 4571 Columbus Street (GPIN: 1477-54-0273), located near the
intersection of Market Street and Columbus Street, east of the Dick's Sporting Goods
Garage (the "Property").
The Developer has approached representatives of the City of Virginia Beach (the "City")
and the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the "Authority") about constructing
a 14-story, 120-room hotel on the Property (the "Project").
Due to the size of the Property, the Developer has requested that the City grant certain
easements and temporary encroachments on adjacent City-owned land (GPINs: 1477-
54-0223 and 1477-54-1273) to allow development of the Project. The easements would
be for(i) ingress/egress over City land, (ii) a terrace at the corner of Market and Columbus
Streets, and (iii) drainage. The temporary encroachments would be to allow (i) a porte-
cochere, and (ii) landscaping and decorative improvements.
During the site plan review process, City staff requested that the Developer make certain
improvement and considerations. As a part of the Project, the Developer, at its sole
expense, has agreed to upgrade the sidewalks, relocate and upgrade the existing public
pedestrian path on the City's property, relocate an existing waterline and provide funds
for additional trees throughout Town Center.
To satisfy its parking needs, the Developer has requested that the Authority allow use of
the Town Center Public Parking System. No on-site parking is planned. A recent parking
study commissioned by the Authority has confirmed that there is adequate excess parking
to accommodate this request and the Authority approved the request on May 12, 2020.
To offset costs added to the Town Center Public Parking System, the Developer has
agreed to have the Property included in the Town Center Special Services District, which
would cause the Property to be subject to the special tax assessment. This change will
come before City Council at a later date and would be effective as of the completion of
the Project.
• Considerations: The Project would bring additional hotel inventory to Town Center
and would redevelop an underutilized parcel in Town Center. The easements and
temporary encroachments would not interfere with the public's use of the right-of-way or
the adjacent City-owned land.
This item was originally part of the agenda for the City Council's March 17, 2020 formal
meeting, but that meeting was canceled due to the Governor's COVID-19 Pandemic state
of emergency declaration of March 12, 2020.
• Public Information: This matter was briefed to City Council on March 10, 2020. A
public hearing was advertised on May 10, 2020 in The Virginian-Pilot. The public hearing
was held on May 19, 2020. Public notice will be provided via the normal City Council
agenda process.
• Alternatives: Approve the Ordinance as presented, deny approval of the
Ordinance, or add conditions or modifications as desired by Council.
• Recommendations: Approval.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: BISHARD FAMILY REAL ESTATE, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Subdivision Variance (Section 4.1(j) of the Subdivision Regulations) for the
property located at 312 Gatewood Avenue (GPIN 2407017508). COUNCIL
DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020
• Background:
This application was deferred by the City Council on February 18, 2020 in order to
confirm that there are no AICUZ compatibility issues. It was rescheduled to the
March 17, 2020 public hearing; however, that meeting was cancelled.
Section 4.1(j) of the Subdivision Regulations states: "Property lines at the
intersection of minor streets with each other or with alleys shall be rounded with a
minimum radius of ten (10) feet." This rounding of the property lines reduces the
parcel size from 15,000 square feet to 14,979 square feet, which reduces the
development potential of the property. As the applicant desires to create three
parcels, a Subdivision Variance to this standard is requested.
Specifically, the applicant proposes to subdivide the 15,000 square foot parcel into
three lots — one as a single-family dwelling lot and two with a semi-detached
dwelling. The property is zoned R-5D Residential District, requiring a minimum of
5,000 square feet in lot area for each parcel developed with a single-family
dwelling/semi-detached dwelling.
• Considerations:
During Staff review, a determination was made by City Traffic Engineering that, in
this instance, the property line rounding at the intersection was not necessary to
accommodate public safety or traffic projects. However, property line rounding is
a requirement of the Design Standards set forth in section 4.1(j) of the Subdivision
Regulations, and therefore, cannot be waived by an administrative decision.
The applicant contends that since the lot will fall under the 15,000 square feet of
minimum area to create three lots due to the property line rounding at the
intersection of Gatewood Avenue and Paris Street, it is a hardship placed upon the
property owner by the City of Virginia Beach's requirements. Staff does not concur
as this requirement is universally applied to all new intersections of minor streets.
While the variance creates a lot that is only shy of the 5,000 square foot
requirement by 21 square feet, it is Staffs position that the overall proposal is not
Bishard Family Real Estate, LLC
Page 2 of 3
compatible with the character of the surrounding area, where the smallest lot size
is approximately 11,250 square feet.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff report. Two letters of opposition and a petition of
opposition containing 33 signatures from 27 households within the neighborhood
were received by Staff. There were two speakers in opposition at the Planning
Commission hearing who expressed concerns regarding the proposal changing
the character of the neighborhood and the increase of density in an area close to
the Naval Air Station Oceana.
The Planning Commission determined the proposed development to be attractive
and the shortage in required lot area to be minor. A condition recommended by the
Planning Commission below, and indicated with underlined text, was included with
the motion to approve. This condition provides that an area equal to that required
by Section 4.1(j) of the Subdivision Regulations be reserved in the event it is
needed in the future.
Following the Planning Commission public hearing, the applicant offered two
conditions as a means of providing additional detail and level of certainty for the
surrounding neighbors with regard to the layout and the design and type of
dwellings to be constructed.
■ Recommendations:
City Staff recommends denial of this application. The Planning Commission
passed a motion to recommend approval of this request by a vote of 9-0.
1. The applicant shall reserve an area, equal to that which is required by Section
4.1(j) of the Subdivision Regulations, at the southwest corner of Lot 90A, to the
City of Virginia Beach following the recordation of the subdivision plat.
Conditions 2 and 3 provided by the applicant following the Planning
Commission Public Hearing for City Council's consideration.
2. When subdivided, the property shall be developed as shown on the submitted
site plan exhibit entitled "Site Plan Exhibit for Subdivision of Lot 90, Revised
Plat, Gatewood Park Extd., Located Near London Bride", dated 12/04/2019,
and prepared by WPL Site Design, a copy of which has been exhibited to the
Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department
of Planning and Community Development.
3. When Lots 90A, 90B, and 90C are developed, the residential dwellings
constructed shall have architectural features and appearance of like quality and
character as depicted on pages 7, 8, and 9 of this report, which has been
exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach
Department of Planning and Community Development.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The applicant proposes to subdivide the 15,000 square foot parcel located at 312 Gatewood Avenue into three lots—
one single-family dwelling lot and two semi-detached dwelling lots.The property is zoned R-5D Residential District,
requiring a minimum of 5,000 square feet in lot area for each parcel developed with a single-family dwelling/semi-
detached dwelling and 10,000 square feet for a parcel developed with a duplex.
• Section 4.1(j)of the Subdivision Regulations states: "Property lines at the intersection of minor streets with each
other or with alleys shall be rounded with a minimum radius of ten (10)feet."This rounding of the property lines
reduces the parcel size to 14,979 square feet,which would only allow for the development of two single-family
dwelling or semi-detached lots,or one duplex lot. As the applicant desires to create three parcels, a Subdivision
Variance to this standard that requires the rounding of the intersection is requested in order to create the three
parcels.
• Minimum lot width in the R-5D Residential District is 50 feet for a single-family dwelling lot and 35 feet fora semi-
detached dwelling lot.An additional 10 feet in lot width is required for corner lots, such as the proposed Lot 90A.
Therefore, in order for the property to be developed with three single-family dwellings, a minimum of 160 feet of
frontage is required. As the property at it's widest point is only 150 feet,the applicant proposes to instead create
one single-family dwelling lot (Lot 90C)and two semi-detached dwelling lots (Lots 90A and 90B),which requires a
lot width of only 130 feet,thereby meeting this standard.

Evaluation and Recommendation
Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations states that no variance shall be authorized by the Council unless it finds that:
A. Strict application of the ordinance would produce undue hardship.
B. The authorization of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and the character of
the neighborhood will not be adversely affected.
C. The problem involved is not of so general or recurring nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation
of general regulations to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance.
Bishard Family Real Estate, LLC
Agenda Item 3
Page 2
D. The hardship is created by the physical character of the property, including dimensions and topography, or by
other extraordinary situation or condition of such property, or by the use or development of property
immediately adjacent thereto. Personal or self-inflicted hardship shall not be considered as grounds for the
issuance of a variance.
E. The hardship is created by the requirements of the zoning district in which the property is located at the time
the variance is authorized whenever such variance pertains to provisions of the Zoning Ordinance incorporated
by reference in this ordinance.
The original plan depicted three single-family lots on the 150-foot wide property. Based on the deficiency in lot width
for those three single-family lots,which requires a minimum of 160 feet of frontage,the applicant modified the request
to include one single-family lot and two lots for a semi-detached dwelling, which requires only 130 feet of frontage.
However, while this approach addresses the lot width deficiency, it did not resolve the issue of the property line
rounding which would put Lot 90A under the minimum 5,000 square foot lot size as required by the R-5D Residential
District.
During Staff review, a determination was made by City Traffic Engineering that, in this instance, the property line
rounding at the intersection was not necessary to accommodate public safety or traffic projects. However, property line
rounding is a requirement of the Design Standards set forth in section 4.1(j)of the Subdivision Regulations, and
therefore,cannot be waived by an administrative decision. Consequently, a Subdivision Variance has been requested by
the applicant.The applicant contends that since the lot will fall under the 15,000 square feet minimum area to create
three lots due to the property line rounding at the intersection of Gatewood Avenue and Paris Street, it is a hardship
placed upon the property owner by the City of Virginia Beach's requirements.
Staffs evaluation of Section 9.3 of the Subdivision Regulations, listed at the beginning of this section, is provided below
and addresses the five points by which this request and all other variance requests are considered.
A. The application of the ordinance to round the property corner is not discretionary, but required of every corner
lot at the intersection of minor streets.A determination that it is unnecessary for traffic projects or safety,which
results in being 21 square feet short of the minimum area required for a third lot, is not sufficient grounds for a
hardship.
B. The proposed development is not reflective of the existing character of the neighborhood. On Paris Street and
Gatewood Avenue,the majority of lots, all of which exist as single-family dwelling lots, are larger than 15,000
square feet.There is no lot smaller than 11,250 square feet in the vicinity.This proposal would create three
5,000 square foot lots, becoming the smallest lots by over 6,000 square feet; however the proposed lots would
meet the minimum lot width standards for lots in the R-5D district.
C. It could not be said that this is a commonly recurring problem where the possibility of an additional lot is
eliminated by a 10 foot radius property line rounding at the intersection. It is a specific enough problem that it
could be properly addressed by a Variance.
D. There are no natural features or problematic adjacent developments which impede the use of the property.The
property boundaries, prior to the corner rounding, are sufficient for three lots in the R-5D Residential District.
The required rounding will leave this property just short of the lot area requirement for the third lot. However,
as the corner rounding is written into the Subdivision Regulations,and applied to every subdivision as dictated
by the Design Standards for streets,this does not fulfill the definition of an extraordinary situation. It is
something that must be taken into account prior to every subdivision request.
E. The variance request is a result of the requirements of the R-5D Residential District due to the corner rounding,
which causes Lot 90A to be deficient in lot size.This variance request does seek to maintain minimum lot size
Bishard Family Real Estate, LLC
Agenda Item 3
Page 3
and meet the standards of the Zoning Ordinance, providing the need for the corner rounding required by the
Subdivision Regulations.
The proposal to subdivide the existing 15,000 square foot lot into three lots,would result in at least one lot not meeting
the minimum 5,000 square foot lot area requirement of the R-5D Residential District due to the Subdivision Ordinance
requirement for the rounding of the corner. If granted the Variance,the applicant would create three 5,000 square foot
lots which would meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. While the lot area is short by only 21 square feet,the
overall proposal is not compatible with the character of the surrounding area, where the smallest lot size is
approximately 11,250 square feet.
It is Staffs opinion that the request does not preserve the character and stability of the neighborhood, as the proposed
lots would be more than twice as small as any other lot on Gatewood Avenue or Paris Street.The hardship also appears
to be self-imposed as the corner rounding is a requirement of every intersection where local streets intersect, and
should therefore be anticipated.There is no hardship to redevelopment of the lot as it currently exists and the lot can be
subdivided into two lots by right. Based on this,Staff recommends denial of the request.
Recommended Conditions
1. The applicant shall reserve an area, equal to that which is required by Section 4.1(j) of the Subdivision
Regulations, at the southwest corner of Lot 90A,to the City of Virginia Beach following the recordation
of the subdivision plat.
Conditions 2 and 3 provided by the applicant following the Planning Commission Public Hearing for City
Council's consideration.
2. When subdivided, the property shall be developed as shown on the submitted site plan exhibit entitled
"Site Plan Exhibit for Subdivision of Lot 90, Revised Plat, Gatewood Park Extd., Located Near London
Bride", dated 12/04/2019, and prepared by WPL Site Design, a copy of which has been exhibited to the
Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Department of Planning and Community
Development.
3. When Lots 90A, 90B, and 90C are developed, the residential dwellings constructed shall have
architectural features and appearance of like quality and character as depicted on pages 7, 8, and 9 of
this report, which has been exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file with the Virginia
Beach Department of Planning and Community Development.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards. Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes this property as being within the Suburban Area. Guiding principles have been
established in the Comprehensive Plan to maintain neighborhood stability and sustainability. Many of these principles
are based upon the "Characteristics of a Great Neighborhood" as defined by the American Planning Association. For
example, new residential development should be consistent in term of size, intensity and relationship to the surrounding
area. Infill development should be designed to "give the impression to those who pass by that it has always been part of
the original development."
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural
resources associated with the site.
Traffic Impacts
Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Gatewood Avenue and Paris Street, which are both adjacent to the subject parcel, are considered two-lane undivided
local collector streets. They are not included in the MTP. No roadway CIP projects are slated for this area.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
There is an existing four-inch City water main along Paris Street and an existing six-inch City water main along Gatewood
Avenue.
Sewer
There are existing eight-inch City sanitary sewer gravity mains along both Paris Street and Gatewood Avenue.

Subdivision Variance (Section 4.1(j) of the Subdivision Regulations)
Northeast corner of Gatewood Avenue & Paris Street
(GPIN 2407017508)
January 8, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Ms. Oliver: Okay, thank you. And I'd like to thank all the applicants today who had a matter
on the consent agenda at this hearing and these items will be scheduled for hearing
at the City Council agenda. And so if you don't have any further business, if you
were on the consent agenda,this would be a great time for you to leave. We'll give
everybody a second to leave. All right. Thank you. The next order of business
will be to address the remaining matters on our agenda. And with our City Clerk,
please call the first item.
Ms. Sandloop:Thank you Madam Chair. The first item to be heard is agenda item number 3, in
which we do have two speakers for today. It is Bishard Family Real Estate LLC,
an application for a subdivision variance section 4.1 (j) of the subdivision
regulations on property located on the northeast corner of Gatewood Avenue and
Paris Street located in the Beach District.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you Madam Chair for the record, Eddie Bourdon, Virginia Beach Attorney
representing the applicants, Mr. Steve Bishard is here, along with Josh Motto and
some of his folks on his team. The property that's a subject of this application as a
part of a subdivision that was recorded in Princess Anne County in 1949, before
there was a zoning ordinance and before there was a subdivision ordinance. That
subdivision was developed a few years later but still close to 70 years ago. The
properties in this subdivision are zoned R-5D, the homes in the subdivision, some
are quite old. Others are newer; it's just redevelopment that's been taking place.
Frankly,the area is very benefited by redevelopment. There are quite a number of
duplexes in the subdivision, again it's zoned R-5D. My clients who've been doing
a lot of excellent work in the city redeveloping areas that are very much in need of
redevelopment acquired this piece of property with the intent to develop by right
exactly what is before you today. The right-of-ways are all improved and have
been for half a century. The Gatewood Avenue right-of-way is a 60 foot wide right-
of-way and Paris Street is a 50 foot wide right-of-way, meeting all city current
requirements for residential streets and exceeding it as far as Gatewood is
concerned,these roads are dead ends. Paris street goes East West, about six lots in
each direction and Gatewood ends here. There is no, you heard this morning, no
1
likelihood conceivable foreseeable of any roadway improvements that would
necessitate any right-of-way in addition of what exists today. I have been doing
this kind of work for 35 plus years. I suspect Mr. Inman has had a similar
experience to what I'm going to describe. The City of Virginia Beach anytime
somebody in an existing neighborhood that was created a long time ago, if there is
anything that is "substandard" to what is required today, when you submit a
resubmission plat, they come back with the standard, you know, we want you to
give us additional right-of-way and they get it probably 60 to 70% of the time.
Because people say, I don't need it, no problem. I'll give you the right-of-way.
However, there are a number of circumstances when that's not the case and I've
represented many people over the years look, it's okay to ask for it, but we aren't
putting the need for it, Supreme Court of the United States is very clear,you know,
that you can't require me to give you land when I don't create the need for it. The
Dolan Tygart case and others very clear, that's what happened here. We have a by
right subdivision and again, I've never, ever been up here asking for this variance
before because it's never, ever been required before. So here we have lots on
existing public streets improved,been there for decades and we're being told,guess
what,we want this little curve on the corner that we're not going to use for anything.
We're not going to improve it, but we want to give it to you. We want you to give
it to us. Well, we'll be happy to give it to you. We'll be happy to give you a
reservation and once a plats recorded to create this legal subdivision will be happy
to give it to you, no you have to get a variance because our ordinance that has been
ignored for years because similar things have happened in the city like just like
we're doing never been here before then recorded plat every time, so we here once
for first time ever, because someone is saying that even though we don't on the
Supreme Court decisions,we don't have a right for you to take it from you, excuse
me,they can take it from you,we don't have the right to make you give it to us. We
want you to give it to us. So that's the bottom line here,but we're going along with
the program with this subdivision variance request. Okay,but these are illegal lots
that meet all the dimensional requirements,but when you tell us we got to give you
that little corner,which we don't have a problem with,then you all of a sudden you
lose a lot, again Dolan versus city of Tygart, 512 US Supreme Court, Page 374,
1994 Supreme Court case. It will not stand scrutiny. So that's the bottom line here.
This neighborhood is developing; redeveloping will continue to redevelop that's
what we want to see exactly what we need to see in this neighborhood. So that's
the long short of it, that's why we're here. We are now being told, well, discretion
has been used in the past, recognizing what the law says, but we don't feel like we
can do that under the way our ordinance has been written all these years, so we're
going to try to get the ordinance revised so that we have that discretion. Well, I
don't think that's the right way to run the railroad, but it is what it is. We're here
2
asking for a variance because they're saying they can't approve it any other way.
And so then we get into this,you know,does it fit the character of the neighborhood,
the character of the neighborhood is going to change. It is already changing. Those
of you been out there and wrote around, you'll see its changing and for the most
part, that's a good thing. So I hate to be so confrontational,but this is really not an
application that ought to be here and I think that's the long in a short of it, but we
are here. And we would ask the Commission; the hardship is that we're being told,
you don't get what you are legally entitled to that meets all the dimensional
requirements, because we want not that we need. We want this little 21 feet from
the corner. Well,the city wants to buy a lot for the 21 feet,that's,you know, that's
their prerogative. I don't think they want to buy a lot for that 21 feet. I will be
happy to answer any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Thanks.
Ms. Sandloop:Madam Chair we have two speakers, Courtney Milts. She would approach the
podium and state your name for the record.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Ms. Milts: Hi, my name is Courtney. And I thank the council and I understand what this
gentleman is saying and we, as a neighborhood, a lot of us did not know about the
R-5 zoning back there and we're neighborhood of,you know,third acre lots and the
kids have places to run. And people come back there because they want a yard.
They don't want to see their neighbor right close. You know, we have people
who've been there 40-50 years. And,you know,there's a neighbor right across the
street. She's been there 40 years, and she cries every time she backs out of her
driveway,who's gonna speak up for her?
Ms. Oliver: Sorry, take your time.
Ms. Milts: I understand construction is going to happen, but be considerate of what's around.
Take in the little guy,take in the people who have lived back there for generations,
I know two families by doing this petition,you know,they have three generations,
both of them back there and, you know, it's not all about this. It's like, if they had
just said we'll just build two homes, because that would be good for the
neighborhood and be cohesive and have continuity and we considered our
neighbors. We then just come in there and does everything and just we thought
about the other person. What is wrong with that? But, I just see things going
around-around the city, that they're not very cute. They are the cohesiveness, the
continuity,the thoughtfulness of our neighbor,you know,there's a subdivision right
3
across the street on London Bridge and these old folks bless their hearts, they had
to sell their acreage right next door. Now they have a house, their driveway, and
this big, ugly brown fence, and then houses built right up on top of them. And I
know they had to sell the property and I know construction is allowed,I get that but
think about what's around you. What is wrong about thinking about your neighbor?
I don't understand. It's not all about this. It's not all about money. We're people.
We live in this neighborhood. I walk my dog in this neighborhood.
Ms. Oliver: Ms.Milts,thank you. I hate to cut you off,but unfortunately we allow three minutes
per person.
Ms. Milts: Right. Just think about also the water runoff in these ditches they're building in
front of these new homes where the water sits after a week of walk up, the storm.
Scum is still there. You're talking about mosquitoes; you are talking about more
spray. Chesapeake Watershed.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Gerald Fowler.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Fowler: Good afternoon. I own the duplex just next to this property.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Fowler, I'm going to interrupt you one second. Would you mind stating your
name for the record?
Mr. Fowler: Gerald Fowler.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Fowler: I own the duplex just next to the property.The thing that comes to my mind is there
is development going on in that community, but normally what's been happening;
they've been buying two properties, tearing them down and building one house
there. I thought there was a drive on to decrease the density,there is about four or
five lots from this lot that you're considering today,to the fence for the air station,
I mean, it's right on top of it. And for years,they've been tearing places down and
decrease the density, this would triple it and so that seems awful strange to me. If
you look through neighborhoods,you see all the big lots and then you see one with
three houses but something don't seem right. That's all I want to say.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Does anybody have any questions for Mr. Fowler? Thank you very
much. Mr. Bourdon?

Mr. Bourdon: Thank you Madam Chair. I want to let the commission know that Steve Bishard
has made multiple outreach efforts to the young lady, I'm sorry I didn't get her last
name, I don't want to call her Courtney, was not able to get any type of a response,
more than willing to sit down with her and,you know,the folks in the neighborhood
you have an elevation of a two story structure that would go on this,these two lots
that is set back and that's the single family one but you have also the shared, the
required setback from gateway,excuse me Gatewood Avenue sorry is 18 feet. This
is at 24 feet. So it's further off if you built, you can build one house all at 18 feet.
We've got the distance between this 10,000 square foot lot in the house on the
interior lot that's 5,000 square feet is over 30 feet. So this is not trying to squeeze
three structures. It's doing a detached basically a duplex and meets all the
requirements and exceeds the requirements as far as setbacks concern. So it's not
something that is out of character with the duplexes that are in the neighborhood at
all. Again, it's a two story, the folks that she referred to on London Bridge Road,
we had the pleasure of representing them, and the development that went around
their house and it's exactly what they wanted to take place. So again, it's just; it's
interesting how things just get pulled out of the sky. The houses, the older homes
in this neighborhood, the overwhelming majority of those that are still there were
built before there was any stormwater management ordinance whatsoever. There
really hasn't been a flooding resilience I think it's a better word, moving forward
problem with this neighborhood, but with this redevelopment, there will be
stormwater management that will have to be provided and we cannot discharge any
more water than it has been discharged from the property as it's currently
developed. And so there's not. Their city and the engineers will not permit given
the current environment especially, it will be scrutinized to the nth degree there
won't be any additional stormwater to cause any problems in the public right-of-
way. We've provided you with the subdivision plat and with the elevation for the
structure to be built on the corner lot, which is the only issue here as well as on the
interior lot, so, I'd be happy to answer any questions any of you may have, but we
believe that and Mr. Bishard is more than willing to meet and talk to folks, I don't
know what the concern if you put the map of the composite map of someone to
cross the street, what it would be, see there, these are not large, wide lots. In fact,
the houses are pretty close in here. So I'm really not sure what the concern is,when
I graduated from law school, one of my high school buddies rented a duplex at the
end of actually, I think was the end of Wall Street, which is I think one up but you
know,this area has had duplexes in it going back and that was in the early 80s. So
I realized it's a bit of a hodgepodge, if you will, somewhat transitional in nature,
but that's what needs to, that's what's going to happen is we're going to have areas
like this that are redeveloping,and that's a betterment for everybody concerned,and
5
including the people who own property. I am happy to answer any questions any
of you may have.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody have any questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: I do, I'll start off but if you could just hold tight I'm gonna ask, when the lots were
created 70 years ago, the zoning was, I guess, shown what it was at that time? So
if they're oversized lots and they are zoned R-5D or whatever,who created and how
did that become or we've got R-5 but we've got oversize lots?
Mr. Tajan: Little bit of history,these are the zoning didn't exist,this would have been in,would
have been greater if these were platted at that point in time, greater Princess Anne
County where the actual City of Virginia Beach was just the Oceanfront. So they
were developed under the county's regulations. When they got annexed into the
city zoning was applied to it, eventually it became R-5D which can't be single
family and duplex development. So the pattern was probably created many years
prior before we put the zoning on it versus the zoning creating the lot pattern.
Mr. Alcaraz: So the R-5 which signifies 5,000 square feet per lot was assigned to those lots, not
taking account that they were oversized lots. So the development in the future
would be for 5,000 square foot minimum?
Mr. Tajan: That would be what we would permit. Yes, that is correct.
Mr. Alcaraz: And then my other question in the informal, your staff had said that the traffic
control requirement for the radius wouldn't be required or would be used?
Mr. Taj an: Correct. During our review of the process, the subdivision regulations state that
when there is a subdivision proposed for a corner lot like this, a corner radius is
required. The waiver procedure for that is through the subdivision variances Mr.
Bourdon had noted and we were told by traffic engineering during the review that
they did not need the corner radius.
Mr. Alcaraz: So the applicant required,no or has offered,I heard a reservation is that still allowed
with the city ordinance for reservation?
Mr. Tajan: The ordinance is currently requires a dedication. If it comes through in this,through
the approval process of getting a subdivision variance, if the applicant wants to like
do a reservation or not, we would still accept that is.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay.
Mr. Bourdon: I would just add, we've agreed to provide a reservation, we have agreed to sign an
agreement that once the plat is recorded, for 50 cents,whatever we'll give them the
21 square feet, yeah, and Mr. Tajan is absolutely correct. The zoning was applied
6
to the property when we actually got the zoning being the Princess Anne County;
City of Virginia Beach wants the merger to reflect what was there. Now again, it's
always had duplexes and it's always had housing on larger,you know,combinations
of lots which is not unusual for a lot of neighborhoods in Virginia Beach that have
redeveloped over the course of time. So that's all absolutely correct and it isn't an
aversion, even though it's not needed. They're not gonna be road improvements
here, these are dead end streets, they're not going to be anywhere so there's not
going to be any improvement to these streets, not gonna be any widening of the
streets. It would be the same as it's been for 70 years and worked out fine for 70
years, they haven't needed it, but my class not here to get into a fight. We will
provide it to you, but there should be,there has been in the past discretion and I'm
not arguing who was right or who was wrong, but discussions have been exercised
in situations like this have always been resolved in the past with either a reservation
or we know we don't need it, we're not going to need it, but they're following the
letter of what's in the ordinance and that's probably what needs to be looked at.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:Don't go away, Mr. Bourdon because you may weigh in here if you like. So but I
just want to clarify because we've had a lot of going on this morning and today. As
I understand this,the design standards set a requirement,we do not need nor intend
to use as I want to, is that correct? That what I heard this morning today?
Mr. Tajan: Based on our view uniformly, the reservation or dedication is required for
subdivisions on corner lots, so that is the uniform rule but standard,but through our
review, there's currently no intent to utilize or expand on that utilizing that radius
that is correct.
Mr. Bourdon.: The ordinance is based on new subdivisions; I mean that's why it's there. So it's
totally understandable that's there but there's nothing in the actual verbiage not the
way it has been previously discretion has been used and again,I'm not here to argue
that you know that anyone is wrong but in the past discretion has always been my
experience anyway used to recognize it, yeah, we asked for but this is not a new
subdivision. I mean, it's a subdivision of this little property,but as it pertains to the
roads, the roads are there, they're developed; they've been there for, you know, 50
plus years. So that's why, this is bit of a.
Ms. Oliver: Does anybody have any more questions for Mr. Bourdon? Thank you. Hearing
now is closed and we're going to open it up amongst the commissioners. Anybody
want to go first? Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:And the reason I asked that is because that kind of puts this application I think you
view it in a different light when you realize, I mean, I really do view this as
7
something that's it's a problem with the ordinance,the ordinance,it's quite possible
that sometimes,you know,the ordinances and zonings are inappropriate to various
applications when we see them. And I view this, a technicality isn't even the right
word, doesn't even apply. We don't intend to avail ourselves of it, as Mr. Bourdon
says, it's for new subdivisions, really. And for sure, this neighborhood will, you
know, will incur more redevelopment. This strikes me as appropriate
redevelopment, what the applicant has proposed, seems to me as a way to address
it and instead of one lot having 5,000 feet is going to have 4979 or something like
that it's a difference without a distinction. And so it seems to me that it's an
appropriate resolution to an instance where the ordinance itself is not really
appropriate to the land use pattern that we're seeing. There are less attractive, less
palatable ways to develop this and lots of other properties. I do think the product
that they're proposing will be the freshest,nicest looking product,you know,within
eyesight of this. One of the photos we saw had a house with siding and a bunch of
green, you know, moss growing on the side of it. Well, this is going to be a brand
new,modern,attractive place,you know,built in a way that really fits into this land
pattern, so sorry to go on so long and I know that there are folks who are upset
about this I think perhaps somewhat unduly it seems to me an appropriate way to
approach this. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: I did ride through the neighborhood yesterday,just wanted to because usually when
we get an application for denial,we don't get a chance to go there. I like to go and
look at it to see what it is and I did notice turning off of not Potter's Road but London
Bridge, the first three houses that you see are actually larger than what's being
proposed now. So there are different types of houses in there. There are very small
duplexes,but I always have to look back in the aging housing stock that we have in
the city and yet somebody wants to come in and,tear down houses and build brand
new ones. I kind of want to go that direction. I like that a lot. So I'm going to be
supporting it.
Mr. Graham: Madam Chair, I'll be supporting it as well. I completely agree. I think that when
you have a developer that's coming into a neighborhood and they're going to build
new homes, I think it's that, you know, for the homeowners that live in that
neighborhood. I mean, I think it's a good thing. I think these are very attractive
elevations that they've submitted. I think it's going to benefit the neighborhood,
and we're talking about a dedication that is 21 square feet. I mean, it's teeny, but
what it's doing is it's preventing redevelopment. So anyway, I'll be supporting it.
Ms. Oliver: George?
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes,there are just a few things I would like to appreciate what he said and with the
15,000 square feet that they have as the owner developer, or whatever interest they
8
may have,I mean, and then you go through the development phase,you go through
the process and then you're told to 21 square feet on a corner is going to be needed.
It's a harsh word, but I take it as a taking and I don't really like that word, but I
didn't want it to go that far, but it kind of seems to go that route. However, I don't
know if it's an option with the city if they can do reservation. If it's ever needed,
then it's there and then they have it but then it qualifies them for the three lots to do
the semi attached in a single family. So therefore, I'd like to make a motion to
approve it.
Mr. Redmond:Second.
Ms. Cartwright: The vote is open.
Ms. Oliver: Hold on.
Mr. Inman: I need to take note that make a disclosure that I am in the board of directors or
advisory board Town Bank from Virginia Beach, and Town Bank listed as a
potential lender on this project as an advisory board member, I have no decision
making power were the loan made or not made and have no financial interest in the
outcome, and I will be voting on that matter.
Mr. Graham: I too need to disclose that I am on the Town leadership advisory board, do not have
any kind of financial gain in this project and I will be voting.
Mr. Tajan: Madam Chair I clarify to align with Mr.Alcaraz's motion to approve,I believe that
there should be a condition that addresses that there should be an easement or
reservation provided for the 21 square feet and not the dedication as the one
condition.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, great thank you. So you want us to remake the motion or we just add that?
Mr. Tajan: I believe this motion included that when he's...
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Tajan: Read through it, when he discussed it.
Ms. Oliver: All right.
Ms. Sandloop:The vote is open. By the recorded vote of 9-0, agenda item number three has been
approved with conditions as amended. Madam Chair our next item of business is
item number 4, Franklin Johnston Group Management & Development, LLC,
which is an application for conditional rezoning I-1 light industrial district to
conditional A-36 Apartment District on property located at 4545 South Boulevard
located in the Roosevelt District. Ms. Oliver: Okay,thank you. And I'd like to thank

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: MARTIN & JUNE KERNUTT [Applicants] the KERNUTT FAMILY
REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST [Owner] Subdivision Variance (Section 4.4(b)
of the Subdivision Regulations)for the property located at 1413 Mill Landing
Road (GPIN 2410710083). COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020
• Background:
The 1 .75-acre parcel was subdivided by deed in April of 1974 by the applicant's
parents from a larger 6.10-acre parcel. The existing single-family dwelling on the
property was constructed in 1976. The property is currently under contract to be
sold and through the title search process, it was revealed that the subdivision of
this parcel was never properly recorded. As the parcel was created by deed after
1953, rather than by plat as required, the applicants are requesting a Subdivision
Variance to Section 4.4(b) of the Subdivision Regulations to properly record a plat
for this parcel. If not for the fact that the property is located within the AE flood
zone, the parcel meets all current Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance standards for
the AG-2 Agricultural District.
• Considerations:
The lot is developed with a single-family dwelling that was constructed in 1976,
and meets current dimensional standards for the AG-2 Agricultural District. The
parcel cannot be further subdivided, and any additions or residential
redevelopment of the parcel will likely require a Floodplain Variance. The applicant
is aware of these restrictions.
The subject parcel size is consistent with and has a similar development pattern
to other parcels along this portion of Mill Landing Road. The proposed Subdivision
Variance will properly record the parcel. As the parcel cannot be further
subdivided, and there is an existing dwelling on the property that was in 1976, the
character of the Rural Area will not be altered if this request is granted. Further
details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in
the attached Staff Report. There is no known opposition to this application.
• Recommendations:
City Staff recommends approval of this application. The Planning Commission
placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of
8-0, to recommend approval of this request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The 1.75-acre parcel was subdivided by deed in April of 1974 (D.B. 1415, Pg. 506) by the applicant's parents from a
larger 6.10-acre parcel (M.B. 464, Pg. 293).
• The existing single-family dwelling on the property was constructed in 1976.
• The property is currently under contract to be sold and through the title search process, it was revealed that the
subdivision was never properly recorded for this parcel.
• The Princess Anne County Subdivision Ordinance was amended on September 28, 1953, requiring a plat for the
subdivision of land of two or more lots. It also permitted agriculturally zoned properties to be subdivided by deed
but only if the resulting parcels were all at least five acres or larger.
• As the parcel was created by deed post-1953,the applicants are requesting a Subdivision Variance to Section 4.4(b)
of the Subdivision Regulations to properly record a plat for this parcel.
• If not for the fact that the property is located within the AE flood zone,the parcel meets all current Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinance standards for the AG-2 Agricultural District.
• As the property is within the AE floodplain, any additions to the dwelling or redevelopment of the lot with a
residential use will require a Floodplain Variance.
• With the approval of this Subdivision Variance,the parcel will be legally created after June 28, 1984, and as such,
requires a density of 15 acres per unit. Based on this,the parcel could not be further subdivided unless a variance is
granted.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This request to properly record a lot that has existed since 1974 by deed is recommended for approval. The lot is
developed with a single-family dwelling that was constructed in 1976, and otherwise meets current dimensional
standards for the AG-2 Agricultural District if not for amendments to the Floodplain Ordinance that occurred three
decades after the dwelling was built. As mentioned above,this parcel cannot be further subdivided, and any additions or
residential redevelopment of the parcel will likely require a Floodplain Variance.The applicant is aware of these
restrictions.
The subject parcel size is consistent and has a similar development pattern to other parcels along this portion of Mill
Landing Road. The proposed Subdivision Variance will properly record the parcel with a single-family dwelling that was
constructed in 1976 and since the parcel cannot be further subdivided due to the Floodplain and Rural Area regulations,
the character of the Rural Area will not be altered if this request is granted.
Based on the considerations described above, Staff is recommending approval of the application subject to the condition
listed below.
Recommended Condition
1. The applicant/owner shall submit a subdivision plat with the City of Virginia Beach Planning Department. Said plat
shall be subject to the review and approval of the Department of Planning&Community Development, and plat
shall be recorded with the City of Virginia Beach Circuit Court Clerk's Office within 180 days from the date of City
Council action.
Further conditions may be required during the administration of applicable City Ordinances and Standards.Any site plan
submitted with this application may require revision during detailed site plan review to meet all applicable City Codes
and Standards.All applicable permits required by the City Code, including those administered by the Department of
Planning/Development Services Center and Department of Planning/Permits and Inspections Division, and the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy, are required before any approvals allowed by this application are valid.
The applicant is encouraged to contact and work with the Crime Prevention Office within the Police Department for crime
prevention techniques and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)concepts and strategies as they
pertain to this site.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as being in the Rural Area with primarily agricultural and rural
related activities. An important objective of the Plan for the Rural Area is to protect and sustain all of Virginia Beach's
valuable environmental, scenic, and agricultural resources against inappropriate activities and intense growth pressures.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Southern Rivers Watershed and there are no known significant cultural resources associated
with this site. 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.
Martin &June Kernutt
Agenda Item 6
Page 3
Traffic Impacts
No traffic impacts anticipated as there is no change to the use of the property or increase in density.
Public Utility Impacts
No public utility impacts anticipated as the parcel is served by a private well and a private on-site sanitary sewage system.

Subdivision Variance
1413 Mill Landing Road
March 11,2020
RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Redmond: The next item on the agenda is agenda item number six. This is an application of
Martin & June Kernutt for subdivision variance, section 4.4 B of the subdivision
regulations on property located at 1413 Mill Landing Road in the Princess Anne
District. Welcome, sir. Come on forward. Would you state your name for the
record,please?
Mr. Kernutt: Martin Kernutt.
Mr. Redmond:You've seen the conditions. Are they acceptable to you?
Mr. Kernutt: Yeah.
Mr. Redmond:Okay. Anything else you'd like to add?
Mr. Kernutt: I was just wondering if this could be passed on the city council as quick as possible,
because I've had a contract on the house for 90 days. And I was unaware of this for
the last 44 years. So it's put me in quite a bind with the buyers.
Mr. Redmond:Yes, we are approving it by consent, it next moves to the city council agenda staff
can probably give you some guidance as to when it would be on the city council
agenda.
Mr. Kernutt: They're just time is the essence right now.
Mr. Redmond:Understood.
Ms. Smith: Excuse me, Mr. Chair. We are expediting this to the April 7 City Council meeting
to try and help you with your issue.
Mr. Redmond:All right. You can take a seat. Thank you. Is there any opposition to this matter
being placed on the consent agenda? Chairman has asked Commissioner Inman to
summarize this application.
Mr. Inman: Thank you, Mr. Redmond. This is again it's a subdivision variance and it arises is
that on Mill Landing Road on the county, what happened is that this property was
existed since 1974 by deed created this lot by deed and there was no subdivision
plat done on current law,there has to be a subdivision plat in order to have a proper
conveyance of the property to anyone. So, the subject parcel is consistent in size
and similar development pattern to other parcels along this portion of Mill Landing
Road. The proposed subdivision variance will properly record the parcel with a
single-family dwelling that was constructed in 1976. And since the parcel cannot
be further subdivided due to floodplain and rural area regulations, the character of
the area will not be altered by this request. Based on these considerations, the staff
recommended approval and we've put it on the consent agenda and under the
condition that there will be a subdivision plat submitted and approved and recorded.
Mr. Redmond:Thank you Commissioner Inman
Ms. Cartwright: Vote is open.
Ms. Sandloop: By recorded vote of 8-0, agenda items 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22,
23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 41 and 43 with Mr. Alcaraz
abstaining from items 23, 24, 25 and 26 have been approved by consent.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: FRANKLIN JOHNSTON GROUP MANAGEMENT & DEVELOPMENT, LLC
[Applicant] SECURITY STORAGE & VAN COMPANY OF NORFOLK,
VIRGINIA, INC. [Property Owner] Conditional Change of Zoning (I-1 Light
Industrial District to Conditional A-36 Apartment District) for the property
located at 4545 South Boulevard (GPIN 1477517149). COUNCIL DISTRICT —
ROSE HALL
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020
• Background:
This application was deferred by the City Council on February 18, 2020 to the
March 17, 2020 public hearing in order for the property to be properly posted;
however, the March 17th meeting was cancelled. The applicant proposes to rezone
the 4.90-acre property from I-1 Industrial District to Conditional A-36 Residential
District for the development of up to 160 multi-family apartment units. The
submitted Conceptual Layout depicts five, five-story multi-family buildings, a two-
story clubhouse building, and an outdoor swimming pool. Following the Planning
Commission hearing, a modification to the clubhouse was submitted to Staff that
depicts a taller three-story clubhouse interior to the site. The clubhouse footprint
was modified from an "L-shaped" building to a rectangular structure, thereby
enabling four additional parking spaces, a small increase of interior parking lot
landscaping adjacent to the building. In Staffs view, these minor changes that are
not well seen from the rights-of-way were not deemed significant.
The architectural elevations depict a contemporary design with textured veneer
masonry, pre-finished metal siding, and fiber cement panel siding. The applicant
is requesting to deviate from the 30-foot front yard setback required in the A-36
Apartment District and construct the apartment buildings as close as 10 feet from
the property line along South Boulevard. The revised Conceptual Layout depicts
311 parking spaces, which exceeds the parking requirement by 18 spaces. A
community identification sign is proffered to be a monument-style sign, not
exceeding eight-feet in height, with similar construction materials as the proposed
buildings. While not required, a 25-foot wide Category II buffer is proposed along
the eastern property line abutting an office building. Category II typically includes
evergreen plants reaching a mature height of 20 feet. The required streetscape
and foundation plantings are depicted on the concept plan for the full length of
South Boulevard.
Franklin Johnston Group Management & Development, LLC
Page 2 of 2
■ Considerations:
While in the Suburban Area, the deviation to the setback was deemed acceptable
by both Staff and the Planning Commission, as the property is adjacent to the
Pembroke SGA, where development with a zero setback from the right-of-way is
encouraged. Development within this area focuses on creating and maintaining
great neighborhoods by enhancing the existing neighborhood through
compatibility with surroundings, quality and attractiveness of site and buildings,
and effective buffering to the surrounding uses. While the proposal will result in a
density of approximately 33 units to the acre, the rezoning to the apartment district
will remove the existing industrial zoning that is less compatible with nearby uses,
including a church and apartments. The proposed contemporary building design is
attractive and of high quality, and the clubhouse and swimming pool will provide
the tenants with on-site recreational amenities.
One point of vehicular ingress and egress is proposed along South Boulevard,
which is well under capacity according to data provided by Public Works/Traffic
Engineering, and can accommodate the increase in traffic generation. Thorough
consideration has been given to the site layout to allow for ease of site circulation
and emergency apparatus access.
Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff report. There was one speaker in opposition at the
Planning Commission public hearing whose comments focused on flooding issues
associated with South Boulevard and traffic, primarily at the South Boulevard and
S. Independence Boulevard intersection.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend approval of this request
by a vote of 9-0.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property from I-1 Industrial District to Conditional A-36 Residential
District for the development of up to 160 multi-family units.
• The 4.90-acre property is on the outer perimeter of the Pembroke Strategic Growth Area (SGA) and is developed
with a warehouse and small office buildings.
• The site borders South Boulevard to the North, a cemetery to the southwest, and an office building to the east.
Surrounding uses are office buildings, a church, and apartments.
• The submitted Conceptual Layout depicts five, five-story multi-family buildings, a two-story clubhouse building, and
an outdoor swimming pool. A community identification sign is also depicted on the plan and is proffered to be a
monument-style sign, not exceeding eight-foot in height, with similar construction materials as the proposed
buildings.
• As the site is located adjacent to the Pembroke SGA that encourages development with a zero setback from the
right-of-way, the applicant is requesting to deviate from the 30-foot front yard setback required in the A-36
Apartment District and construct the apartment buildings as close as 10 feet from the property line along South
Boulevard.
• As required, the Conceptual Landscape Layout on page 9 of this report depicts a 25-foot Category II buffer along the
property line abutting the office building parcel to the east, zoned I-1, and streetscape plantings along South
Boulevard. The proposed landscaping appears to meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance; however, a more
detailed review of all screening and planting requirements will occur during the final site plan review.
• The elevation on page 8 of this report depicts the buildings to be a contemporary design style with textured veneer
masonry, pre-finished metal siding, and fiber cement panel siding. The two-story clubhouse located at the center of
the development is proffered to be of a similar design and building materials.
• The submitted Conceptual Layout depicts 307 parking spaces, which exceeds the parking requirement by 14 spaces.
• A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed on September 3, 2019, and revealed no evidence of
recognized environmental conditions (RECs)1 connected with the property
1 ASTM E1527 defines "recognized environmental conditions" as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or
petroleum products in,on,or at a property:(1)due to a release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the
environment;or(3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment.

Evaluation and Recommendation
The proposed rezoning for the construction of up to 160 multi-family units, in Staff's opinion, is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's vision for the Suburban Area. Development within this area focuses on creating and maintaining
great neighborhoods by enhancing the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings,and effective buffering to the surrounding uses.There is a multi-family development
to the west of this proposed development and the surroundings uses include office and religious use.While the proposal
will result in a density of approximately 33 units to the acre,the rezoning to the apartment district will remove the
existing industrial zoning that is a less compatible with the nearby church and apartments.
Staff finds the proposed contemporary building design style to be attractive and to be of good quality.Thorough
consideration has been given to the site layout to allow for ease of site circulation and emergency apparatus access. In
addition,the clubhouse and swimming pool will provide the tenants with on-site recreational amenities.
As stated above,the applicant is requesting a deviation to the front yard setback requirement for this development.
Considering the site is adjacent to the Pembroke SGA, where developments are encouraged to have a 0-foot setback
from the right-of-way, and there is no plan to widen this portion of South Boulevard in the Master Transportation Plan,
Staff is agreeable to the applicant's request to develop this property with a reduced front yard setback from 30 to 10
feet. While the proposed development does increase the number of vehicular trips along this portion of South
Boulevard above the existing zoning by three-fold,South Boulevard is well below its capacity.
The submitted Landscape Plan has been reviewed by Staff and appears to meet the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.As proposed,the development will have adequate parking. In addition,the submitted Lighting Plan shows
the lighting source to be shielded and contained on-site. Information provided by the Virginia Beach City Public Schools
Staff indicates that the proposed development is well within the threshold for increases in student population.
Based on the considerations above,Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request for the development of up to
160 multi-family units with the reduced front yard setback to 10 feet and subject to the submitted proffers below.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Suburban Area.The general planning principles for the
Suburban Area focus on creating and maintaining great neighborhoods through stability and sustainability; protecting
and enhancing open spaces and places of cultural and historical significance; and creating and maintaining a
transportation system that provides connectivity and mobility.Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities
either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability, and effective buffering
with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to the surrounding uses.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.As the site is fully developed with a warehouse and office building
and associated parking,there does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural features associated with the site.
Traffic Impacts
Street Name Present Volume Present Capacity Generated Traffic

Existing Land Use 2—372 ADT
Proposed Land Use 3-1,170 ADT
lAverage Daily Trips gas defined by a warehouse use 3as defined by 160 apartments °LOS=Level of Service
Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
South Boulevard is considered a two-lane collector street.There is a CIP planned for this segment of the roadway;
however,South Boulevard at the connection to Independence Boulevard may be impacted by improvements associated
with the 1-64/Independence Boulevard interchange improvements project.This project is still in the study phase and
currently there is no funding allocated for construction.
Public Utility Impacts
Water and Sewer
The subject site is served by City water and sanitary sewer services.
School Impacts
School Current Enrollment Capacity Generation 1 Change 2
Windsor Woods Elementary 353 396 16 16
Independence Middle 1,281 1,181 7 7
Princess Anne High 1,732 1,835 7 7
"Generation"represents the number of students that the development will add to the school.
2"change"represents the difference between the number of potential or actual students generated under the existing zoning and the number generated under
the proposed zoning. The number can be positive(additional students)or negative(fewer students).
Franklin Johnston Group Management& Development, LLC
Agenda Item 4
Page 5
The proposed development will meet the school capacity level for the Elementary and High Schools. Independence
Middle School is currently over capacity by 100 students. The proposed development will increase the overall capacity
by 1%from 108%to 109%.

Conditional Rezoning(I-1 Light Industrial District to Conditional A-36 Apartment District)
4545 South Boulevard
January 8, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Ms. Sandloop:Madam Chair our next item of business is item number 4, Franklin Johnston Group
Management & Development, LLC, which is an application for conditional
rezoning I-1 light industrial district to conditional A-36 Apartment District on
property located at 4545 South Boulevard located in the Roosevelt District.
Mr. Beaman: Madam Chair, members of the Commission for the record, my name is Rob
Beaman, I'm a local land use attorney with the law firm Troutman Sanders here
today on behalf of the applicant. It came to our attention during the informal session
that there was a letter of opposition that was submitted to the planning department. �.
I think there were two main issues that were discussed in that letter, one of which
is stormwater and the other of which is traffic. With respect to traffic, I believe Mr.
Lowman covered that in the informal that this right-of-way is well below current
capacity and will remain below capacity when this development is completed.
Additionally with respect to stormwater,as Mr. Redmond noted this will be the first
time that this project has been submitted to a stormwater review by the city in the
state and as a result of this project, the stormwater runoff will be reduced by about
20%, which is what I understand from our engineer. So, I think we're going to
actually make both of these conditions better and with that, I respectfully request
your approval of this project. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:We have one speaker today. Chris Tipil.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Tipil: My name is Chris Tipil and I'm here as a property manager and the owner's
representative of 4525 South Boulevard, the South port building and 4455 South
Boulevard, the Prison Plaza building. We are opposed to the zoning change for
several reasons, but the two major ones are flooding. There are already existing
flooding issues directly on South Boulevard by the property in question, in front of
4560 South Boulevard, the South Gate Center even with moderate rain, it already
floods becomes impassible. There are times where cars have to cut through the
parking lot of 4560 just to get through that street. It was moderately flooded
1
yesterday during the rain that we had. And second was the traffic on South
Boulevard where South Boulevard meets Independence,it is right turn only. There
are many times during the day we have to wait for several light cycles just to get
on Independence Boulevard. The other option if you want to make a left on
Independence was either cut through the Independence Business Center, or Edwin
Drive again several light cycles and many times during the day, especially during
rush hour are needed to exit. There are days where it's four and five light cycles
during rush hour. You have to wait for the light to get out of there. But our main
concern is the flooding in the area. It has been a problem for many, many years.
We don't see this project or this change in zoning,making it any better. It can only
make it worse. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. You would like to speak on that in a little more depth.
Mr. Beaman: Yes, man. Just one more thing to add on the stormwater, we will also be installing
curb and guttering along South Boulevard which should also help ameliorate any
flooding issues within the right-of-way. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Great, thank you. Does anybody have any questions? Thank you very much.
Ms. Beaman: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Any more speakers?
Ms. Sandloop:No.
Ms. Oliver: We are gonna close the hearing now and just open it up amongst the commissioners.
Anybody have anything?
Mr. Wall: I'll say few things. Yeah, I'm in favor of the project. It's expected that the flooding
will be looked at and scrutinized very, very closely with the Development Services
Center. So it's, you know, I feel that that will be addressed and that it will not be
at least a minimum exacerbated by the new development. As for the traffic, I'm
sure that you will generate additional traffic, you know, but it was fairly well
addressed by traffic engineering in the informal and that, I think South Boulevard
was the collector and with connecting to the major primary roadways and being at
Independence, you know, adjacent to it and then the right onto 264. So I can't see
where it's not going to generate more traffic, I mean that's certainly will be the case.
And it's expected that the drainage will be addressed. So I'm in favor of the project.
Ms. Oliver: Great, yes.
Mr. Redmond:I agree with Jack. I mean, the stormwater is, I mean, there's opinions and there's
facts and when you add stormwater control facilities to properties that don't have
2
them, flooding gets better. And with regard to traffic, you have to go there, South
Boulevard is not busy by any kind of standard. If you travel up and down South
Boulevard,there just aren't a lot of cars on it. And I do, I have no doubt that at peak
travel times at 4:45 or 5:15, you might wait more than one light cycle, you will at
any intersection in the city because it's 5 o'clock. That's just the way the world
works. So I don't really find that to be, I don't find that to be something that really
animates me on this. This is a really attractive building. It's a very appropriate use,
I think for this piece of property. It is no, you know, it's not the prom queen today
and in its place, I think is going to be a very attractive, very high quality residence
for people who are probably going to enjoy the amenities that they have including
the YMCA, and the park and the proximity to Town Center and all of the things at
this part of the city offer so I think it has a benefit and I look forward to supporting
it and so I do agree with Mr. Wall, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Yes.
Mr. Graham: I agree as well and I will be supporting it. This is a property that is very, very
visible from the interstate when you're coming into Virginia Beach. And I think
this is a great, great reuse of this property, it's going to be attractive. It's going to
provide, you know, people that can shop at Town Center. People that hopefully,
you know,work in the Town Center will have a place to live,you know,potentially
could work at the office building across the street, but I think this is a great reuse.
I think it's very attractive and I'll be supporting it.
Ms. Oliver: Great, anybody else? Can I have a motion?
Mr. Wall: Madam Chair, I would make a motion that we approve agenda item number four.
Mr. Redmond:I second.
Ms. Oliver: All right.
Ms. Sandloop:The vote is open. By recorded vote of 9-0, agenda item number 4 has been
approved. Our next item of business is agenda item number eight, 7-Eleven
Incorporated, an application for a conditional use permit automobile service station
on property located at 2205 Princess Anne Road located in the Princess Anne
District.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: JUDEO-CHRISTIAN OUTREACH CENTER, INC. [Applicant and Property
Owner] Conditional Use Permit (Single Room Occupancy Facility)
Modification of Conditions (Group Home) on property located at 1049 and
1053 Virginia Beach Boulevard (GPINs 2417652620, 2417653527), COUNCIL
DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020
• Background:
This request was scheduled for the March 17, 2020 City Council agenda; however,
that meeting was cancelled. n October 1988, the subject property was rezoned
from B-2 Community Business to A-12 District and a Conditional Use Permit for a
Group Home was approved. Several modifications and expansions have been
granted in the intervening years, most recently in April 2000. The applicant is now
requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Facility
to permit a new building containing 38 single room units, administration space, and
kitchen/dining hall. As the existing kitchen/dining hall was approved as part of the
Conditional Use Permit for a Group Home, a Modification of Conditions is
requested to continue to serve food to the public.
Redevelopment of the site will occur in two phases to ensure continuation of
operations during construction. The first phase will include demolition of the
existing men's dormitory and construction of the new three-story building
comprised of 20,644 square feet. The second phase will include demolition of the
existing administration building and the construction of a 24-space parking lot. The
Zoning Ordinance requirement is 38 spaces. In support of the reduction, the
applicant has provided a parking narrative stating that many residents do not own
an automobile.
• Considerations:
The site is located within the area covered by the Resort Area Strategic Action
Plan (RASAP), which is adopted by reference in the Comprehensive Plan. While
the plan is silent on the nature of the use, the JCOC is an established entity and
provides a valuable community service. The current aging facilities need
Judeo-Christian Outreach Center, Inc.
Page 2 of 5
replacement. The proposed new facility will ensure that their current programmed
services will continue, as well as allow the JCOC to take advantage of new grant
programs available to reach even more of the disadvantaged in the community.
The redevelopment of the property will establish affordable housing for the single
homeless population, provide new kitchen/dining hall space to accommodate food
services for the community, and new administrative office space to operate more
efficiently.
The proposed site design provides generous setbacks from Virginia Beach
Boulevard, enough space for circulation of vehicles and queuing of visitors waiting
for services, adequate buffering from adjacent properties, amenity space for
residents, and the opportunity to improve pedestrian connectivity with the
installation of a new sidewalk along the property frontage. Further details
pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached
Staff Report.
There were 21 speakers at the Planning Commission public hearing, 10 of whom
were opposed or had concerns about certain elements of the applications. Most
of these concerns focused on the Modification of Conditions request to continue
serving food to the public and the perceived correlation to public safety and
security, as well as the potential impact on redeveloping the 17th Street corridor.
The Planning Commission also heard from Andy Friedman, the Director of Housing
and Neighborhood Preservation, who spoke about the issues associated with
homelessness, what the City is doing to address the problem, and JCOC's
contributions as a partner with the City in the operation of the Housing Resource
Center.
The Planning Commission noted the significant contributions made by JCOC to
the community and the benefits to be realized from the proposed new facility.
However, the Planning Commission also recognized the significant citizen interest
and concerns, particularly with respect to the serving of food to the public. During
the Public Hearing, the Planning Commission noted concerns of the public
regarding safety and operations and they recommend a condition that requires the
implementation of a public safety and security plan to address citizen concerns.
This plan would be developed with the assistance of the Virginia Beach Police
Department. In addition, the Planning Commission is recommending a reduction
in the hours of operation by which food can be served to the public from 9:00 p.m.
to 8:00 p.m. to further mitigate impact. To address potential use or operational
concerns of the public service of food, the Planning Commission is also
recommending a condition that the Conditional Use Permit to serve food to the
public expire in two years. This allows for the JCOC to operate for two years and
to show that the operations will be positively impacted by the new building and they
will be required to reapply for the Conditional Use Permit to continue to offer the
public meals. The Planning Commission recommends approval with the modified
conditions.

Re: Applications of Judeo-Christian Outreach Center,Inc.for a Conditional Use Permit for a Single

Group Home Conditional Use Permit regarding the "New Building" housing the Food Pantry
and Dining Hall
Dear Mayor Dyer,Vice Mayor Wood and Members of City Council:
On behalf of the Judeo-Christian Outreach Center, Inc., I write to advise that the
legally required posting of Public Notification Signage on the J.C.O.C.property advising of
the scheduled March 17, 2020 Public Hearing, for thirty (30) days in advance of such
hearing failed to occur, due to maintenance staff having removed the signage to perform
work on the fence and not reposting the signage.
This oversight came to our attention on February 27, 2020 and through
communication with Planning staff and the City Clerk, we have reposted the property
with the necessary signage indicating that the Applications will be heard on Tuesday,
April 7, 2020.
I have also communicated with a number of the interested property owners who
spoke at the Planning Commission Public Hearing to advise them that the applications
cannot be heard on your March 17, 2020 Agenda and will be deferred until the April 7,
2020 City Council meeting.
Due to the inadvertent failure to maintain the required posting of the property,
we would formally request that these applications be deferred to your April 7, 2020
Public Hearing.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• In October 1988, the subject site was rezoned from B-2 Community Business District to A-12 Apartment District,
and a Conditional Use Permit for a Group Home was approved. Subsequent modifications and expansions to the
Conditional Use Permit were granted in October 1989, February 1992, October 1993, October 1995 and April
2000.
• According to the application, the Judeo-Christian Outreach Center (JCOC) provides emergency housing to 30
men and 20 women (50 persons total) daily and serves over 44,000 annually.
• The site is currently developed with four buildings, consisting of a men's dormitory, women's dormitory,
administration building and cafeteria building. Due to age and maintenance issues, the men's dormitory has
been condemned and is not currently operational. With the loss of this space, the JCOC currently uses one of
their existing buildings as a men's dormitory. According to the applicant, a significant amount of capital is spent
on the upkeep of the buildings, and a new facility is needed.
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Facility to permit the
construction of a new building containing 38 single room units, administration space, and kitchen/dining hall.
The existing emergency, single-night housing currently provided in the dormitories will be replaced with an
apartment-style building with up to 38 units where occupants will lease the units. As the existing kitchen/dining
hall was approved as part of the Conditional Use Permit for a Group Home, a Modification of Conditions is
requested for that component of the project to continue to serve food to the public.
• Redevelopment of the site will occur in two phases to ensure continuation of operations during construction.
Phase one will include the demolition of the existing men's dormitory and construction of the new building
containing the single room units, administration space, and kitchen/dining hall. The second phase will include
the demolition of the existing administration building and kitchen, and the construction of 24 parking spaces.
• The applicant will have continued use of 17 of the existing on-site parking spaces during phase one of the
project. Currently,the JCOC has ten full-time staff working on-site, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday, and as such, ten spaces will be dedicated to employee parking during these time frames. The seven
remaining spaces will be available for visitors' use. Ultimately,the parking lot will have 24 spaces, 14 less than
the requirement of 38, based on the Zoning Ordinance requirement of one space per unit. The applicant has
provided a parking narrative in support of a reduction in parking on the basis that many of the residents do not
own an automobile. A 42-inch high wall with plant material is proposed along the street frontage and will create
a visible boarder that will aid in containing the activities on the site.The 24-space parking lot will be constructed
with a permeable pavement system with a single point of ingress and egress along Virginia Beach Boulevard.
Secured bicycle parking is a key component to the plan. Ten bicycle racks are proposed to be installed on the
site. Other on-site amenities will include outdoor seating areas and garden plots for residents' use.
• The new 20,644 square foot building will be three-stories in height. The first floor will accommodate the new
administration space and kitchen/dining hall. The second and third floors will contain the residential units. In
response to recent Staff comments,the applicant made modification to the building's facade to include reducing
the overall mass of the building with the use of paint and changes in height. The building's architecture features
contemporary clean lines with an emphasis on the horizontal elements of the facade.The building's first story is
clad in a dark gray brick veneer and the upper stories are clad in a combination of exterior insulation finishing
system (EIFS) in a cool gray finish, recessed in places to provide a shadow line. The accent color is a slightly
brighter version of the JCOC blue color and will be carried around the building at the top banding. The primary
entrance includes a large angular canopy that spans almost half of the building's length. Even though the
entrance is technically recessed into the facade, it is visually very pronounced and typical of civic building

structures. The canopy will provide a human-scale element and detail in an area through which all Staff and
visitors will pass. The stair tower at the northwest corner of the building creates an opportunity for a unique
highlight that can be integrated into the building.

Evaluation and Recommendation
Conditional Use Permit -Single Room Occupancy Facility
The proposed request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Single Room Occupancy(SRO) Facility is, in Staff's opinion,
acceptable. While the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan, which is adopted by reference in the Comprehensive Plan, is
silent on the nature of the use, the JCOC is an established entity and provides a valuable community service. The
Comprehensive Plan strives to transform the resort area into a year-round, world class urban resort destination that
transitions into a vibrant diverse neighborhood. In Staff's view, a diverse neighborhood includes diversity in price points
as well as diversity of its residents. The redevelopment of the site to include housing for residents seeking to transition
out of homelessness creates housing variety. The location in the Central Beach District is envisioned as a pedestrian-
scale, mixed-use entertainment district geared towards year-round activity for residents and visitors alike. It is possible
that residents of the SRO may support the entertainment district uses through both employment and as users of the
activities and venues that are evolving in the district and throughout the oceanfront.
The site will transition from a campus of multiple buildings to a site with a single building that will serve all the
applicant's organizational needs from residential housing to administrative offices, to serving food to people in need to
providing job training and support services. As noted above, the type of housing provided on the property is changing
from a single night housing option for the homeless to a longer-term housing solution for qualified residents.
Currently,the JCOC temporarily houses 50 residents each night, 30 men and 20 women in an Emergency Housing
Program. This request, however, changes the type of housing provided on site, as the Emergency Housing Program is
moving to the Housing Resource Center on Witchduck Road, and reduces the number of occupants to 38. Other
programs will continue that include the Winter Shelter Program in which JCOC partners with community churches that
Judeo-Christian Outreach Center, Inc.
Agenda Items 12 & 13
Page 3
provide shelter at other locations to as many as 70 individuals each night during the coldest months of the year. The
Joint Review Process (JRP) Group met in 2016 to discuss the redevelopment proposal of the JCOC.The JRP is a mix of
City and Navy Staff charged with informing the Planning Commission and City Council whether qualifying discretionary
proposals, such as a Conditional Use Permit, meets the requirements of the AICUZ Overlay Ordinance. Discretionary
development applications for the redevelopment of property where the proposed dwelling unit density is the same as or
lower than the actual dwelling unit density existing at the time the application is submitted are exempt from the AICUZ
Overlay regulations. As the number of beds in the facility will not increase, it was determined that the application met
this exemption.
The subject site is located near the western edge of the Central Beach District of the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan, a
pedestrian-scale, mixed-use entertainment district geared towards year-round activity for residents and visitors alike.
Streetscape improvements and pedestrian connections are key guiding principles to achieve these results. In connection
with necessary right-of-way improvements, such as curb and gutter, there is an opportunity along the frontage to
improve pedestrian connectivity with the installation of an eight-foot wide sidewalk consistent with the sidewalk to the
east of the site. Staff recommends condition 6 below to address this.
The location of the building 100 feet from the right-of-way and within the center of the site, rather than at the 30-foot
front yard setback along Virginia Beach Boulevard, will provide sufficient space for maneuvering of vehicles. The
placement of the building almost 100 feet from the right-of-way is deliberate and will aid in addressing the current
encroachment into the public realm by those waiting to be served. A 42-inch high wall is proposed along the frontage
also as a means of containing the activities and guiding the visitors on the site away from public property. This wall and
the evergreen plantings will provide a screen of the parking lot from the right-of-way. The existing mature trees on the
property will provide a visual buffer for the residential uses to the south from the planned redevelopment of the site.
Existing mature trees and proposed fencing along the side property lines will aid in screening this site from the adjacent
commercial uses to the east and west. The outdoor amenity space proposed in the rear of the property will encourage
outdoor activities within the interior of the site, rather than along the front of the property as historically has occurred.
While it would be desirable to extend a sidewalk from the front of the building to the public sidewalk along the street,
Staff recognizes that it may be difficult to do so given the location of existing trees.
As previously noted, the parking lot will have 24 spaces, 14 less than the requirement of 38, based on the Zoning
Ordinance requirement of one space per unit. The Ordinance permits a reduction in the requirement if special
conditions warrant such a reduction. The applicant provided a parking narrative in support of a reduction on the basis
that many of the residents will not own an automobile. The applicant states that the 24 spaces will be sufficient for the
eleven full-time Staff(eight of whom leave by 5:00 pm each day), the volunteers who assist with the dining hall program
on a daily basis, and the additional volunteers who assist with dinner service. However,to supplement the parking the
JCOC proposes to shuttle the volunteers from 401 West Lane, which is the location of the JCOC's Transitional and
Permanent Supportive Housing program, located approximately one mile west of the subject site. This site has 33
parking spaces, eleven more than are required by the Zoning Ordinance for its land use. Staff recommends Condition 8
for the modification of conditions application to formalize the use of the JCOC's 10 passenger van when necessary.
Staff recommends approval of the SRO. The current aging facilities need replacement. The proposed new facility will
ensure that their current programmed services will continue, albeit some will be at another location, as well as allow the
JCOC to take advantage of new grant programs available to reach even more of the disadvantaged in the community.
The redevelopment of the property will establish affordable housing for the single homeless population, provide new
kitchen/dining hall space to accommodate food services for the community, and new administrative office space to
operate more efficiently.
Modification of Conditions - Group Home
The proposed request for a Modification of Conditions to the Group Home is, in Staff's opinion, acceptable. As noted
above, the JCOC serves over 44,000 free meals annually to their residents as well as to many neighbors in need. The
food pantry and Food Box program provide over 136,000 meals each year to help families and individuals remain in
Judeo-Christian Outreach Center, Inc.
Agenda Items 12 & 13
Page 4
housing and not have to make a choice between paying rent or buying groceries. Their food service programs also
provide opportunities to engage the homeless about the housing services available to help them transition out of
homelessness.
The JCOC and its volunteers serve prepared dinners every evening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.PM. Breakfast is also
provided on Saturday mornings. The number of individuals being provided dinners each evening ranges from 60 to 100,
with 70 to 80 persons being the norm. Saturday breakfast typically serves 25 to 35. The kitchen/dining hall in the new
building will enable JCOC to operate more efficiently. However, the size and capacity of the dining hall will not increase
and will maintain a seating capacity of 110 persons. The placement of the building almost 100 feet from the right-of-way
is deliberate and will aid in addressing the current encroachment into the public realm by those waiting to be served. The
42-inch high wall proposed along the frontage will also help to contain the activities and guide visitors away from public
property.
As noted in the parking narrative, many of the residents will not own an automobile and most of the eleven full-time
Staff leave the property by 5:00 p.m. each day. As such, most of the demand for the 24 parking spaces on site after 5:00
p.m. will be from the volunteers who assist with the dinner service. The JCOC is prepared to implement a van shuttle
program to transport staff and volunteers from a satellite parking facility they own located at 401 West Lane to the
subject property when insufficient parking is available on site.
At the request of Planning Staff, a letter was provided from the Virginia Beach Police Department noting the significant
resources and the high volume of calls for service to the JCOC and immediate surrounding area.
In sum, the JCOC can continue to provide food service to the public on this site within the existing aging buildings
without any of the proposed upgrades to the property and without implementing the planned patron access and parking
deficiency practices. Staff recommends approval of the Modification of Conditions subject to the conditions listed below
that, along with operational and site layout modifications proposed, are designed to address the concerns of the Police
Department and the adverse impacts that some surrounding properties currently experience. For example, the new
building's design accommodates those awaiting food service, as they will queue inside the building and are not allowed
to wait outside, as per condition 3 on page 6. Also, additional off-site parking is required for volunteers, per condition 8
of the SRO and condition 12 of the Group Home, to ensure enough parking is available to both residents and those
seeking services. Staff believes that the proposed development will better address off-site concerns than the current
operation. With condition 2 on page 6, the proposed use will expire within two years of the Certificate of Occupancy
being issued and be required to request approval for a new modification to extend the operations of the dining hall
open to the public. Any impacts based on the new operations and building can be addressed through Zoning
Enforcement and through the public hearing process once the applicant applies for the request of the extension of the
approval.

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 near the western edge of the Central
Beach District, a pedestrian-scale, mixed-use entertainment district geared towards year-round activity for residents and
visitors alike. Streetscape improvements and pedestrian connections are key guiding principles to achieve these results.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
The property is within the Atlantic Watershed. There does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural features
associated with the site.

Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
In the vicinity of this site, Virginia Beach Boulevard is considered a four-lane undivided minor urban arterial. The existing
infrastructure currently resides in a variable width right-of-way. The MTPP proposes a four-lane facility within a 145-
foot right-of-way. There are no roadway CIP projects slated for this area. Currently, this segment of roadway is
functioning under capacity at a Level of Service C or better.
*The ITE Trip Generation manual does not contain study information for this type of land use. Since the development
under this application does not change the land use from existing to proposed conditions, the trip generation could not
be determined for either condition. However, Traffic Engineering Staff does not anticipate a significant increase in
traffic volume with the redevelopment. Standard right-of-way improvements will be required with the development of
this site. Improvements include but are not limited to pavement widening, curb and gutter, and sidewalk to match the
improvements to the east and west of this property. Additional requirements may be applied as part of development
site plan review.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
This site currently connects to City water. The existing water meter can be used or upgraded to accommodate the
proposed development. There is an existing 24-inch and two 12-inch City water lines on Virginia Beach Boulevard.
Sewer
This site currently connects to City sewer. There is an existing 20-inch City sewer force main on Virginia Beach Boulevard.

located at 1049 and 1053, Virginia Beach Boulevard located in the Beach District.
Mr. Bourdon: Madam Chair for the record, Eddie Bourdon Virginia Beach attorney representing
the JCOC. I want to thank you for giving us a break.
Ms. Oliver: You're welcome.
Mr. Bourdon: I appreciate that very much. First of all, I want to take a minute because I get to do
is, I don't get to do this very often. I'd like to ask all of the folks who are in
attendance with us this afternoon who are here in support of the JC OC, its mission
its applications before the commission to please stand and be recognized. The
presentations that you all received this morning in your briefing, I thought were
extremely illuminating,powerful and helpful. The JC OC has for 31 years, as staff
has accurately summarized in their report and providing exemplary service to those
in need of housing, the homeless but I don't know want to say anything that's
politically incorrect,needed shelter and those in need of assistance in order to afford
to pay their rent, and avoid homelessness. Food insecurity, I guess is the new term.
They've done this,especially since Todd Walker was hired in 2012 to run executive
director to run JC OC program. And as you heard this morning, it's a collaborative
process. And the city gets more mileage out of its investment and everybody gets
a lot more out of it, when the public is involved. You have letters of support from
20 churches and affiliated churches and synagogues, JC OC works closely with
1
scores of churches and synagogues, not just the 20 you have letters of support from
as well as many other community and business organizations. They provide
volunteers to JCOC that serves the dinners every night 365 days out of the year and
On Saturdays, breakfast on Saturdays, they also provide financial support and that
financial support will be needed as we move forward with the hopefully the
redevelopment of this piece of property, in addition to providing shelter and access
to programs to aid our brothers and sisters, who are in need, the JCOC last year
provided 33,816 meals boxed for families in need with shelter that had shelter. It
provided 102,766 meals for individuals with shelter, mostly almost 90 some odd
percent through the food pantry. Both the food pantry, the food pantry provided
both of those two numbers and they provided 44,313 meals for persons with or
without shelter at the dinners and the breakfast, and it's probably a pretty even split
maybe a few more without shelter. That's a total of 180,905 meals that were
provided last year by the JCOC, is there is a need and there's an absolute need in
the area that JCOC has been located on for the last 31 years. And Andy Friedman
did a fantastic job of giving you some of the history. The Fire Escape is actually I
think was the name of the place that on 17th Street where interestingly, if you read
the old use permit, from 1988 1989,it talks about 70 to 100 homeless people having
dinner at the fire escape on a nightly basis. And that use permit basically expected
70 to 100 people having dinner at JCOC this was back in'89 and that's still situation
today. Still the situation today, all the good work, and it's to be applauded. But it's
kept it where it was 31 years ago, that's a good thing. That's a good thing. You
look at what's going on the rest of the world, but it's pretty much the same now as
it was then. And with this proposal, the only reason that is a part of this is that
original use permit, specifically in condition six said, the use permit was for these
buildings. If you build a new building, anything like that, you have to come back
that's why because we're not making the food service any larger. We're not
expanding it in any way. We're putting it in a brand new $5 million, maybe less,
hopefully,building. The JCOC has already raised, going on a half a million. They
can get grants, they can raise more money, but they have to have a plan. The big
donors, the banks etc, they have to have, you have to have a plan. And that's what
we're moving towards today, four years ago, four years ago, it's over four years
ago, we began discussions with the city and it's a collaborative process about the
need for us to do something about our physical plant. And it's been in service and
done well for the 30 years. It's been there, but we need to either spend a lot of
money in improving the property, renovating the buildings, or going a different
direction somewhat. And those discussions, in those discussions we were
discussing back and forth the city with the Housing Resource Center in the process
of being developed four years ago, it hadn't been developed yet. Should we change
from a shelter, say a shelter, or should we go to a transitional housing and SRO
2
housing? What would be a more valuable component in our city's and our
community's effort to address this problem. And as Andy eloquently described, all
this doesn't heck of a lot better than I could ever do,you know,this is what everyone
believed was the best way to move forward. So after 31 years of the 50 bed shelter,
food pantry kitchen, dining in four buildings with only 17 on-site parking spaces
that are a little disjointed and the buildings up close to the street, we proposed this
beautiful new building setback with 24 conforming parking spaces, a permeable
paver parking area, again, everything back this far from the road out on 17th Street
as we could make it with the dining hall and food service that is not an expansion
in any way, shape, or form, but the original condition since it will be the new
building requires that to be a part of the application. So that brings us here with the
application to modify the original group home use permit as well as the new use,
which is the SRO and the plan, you know, 42-inch wall, beautiful landscaping, a
lot of really bike racks, all that area in the backward you go into the meals, the
buildings will have, the buildings will have mounting cameras, it will have
monitoring screens, there will be security, there is security now, but there will be
more security, better security and it will be the I think, at least so far the most
attractive building on 17th Street once you get to the west of the city's last building
on the before you get to the field house on the north side of 17th Street. And it
certainly isn't going to stand in the way of hope where I hope will be and everyone
else will be think some great redevelopment, we absolutely have no problem
whatsoever agreeing to a total security assessment and participating with
neighboring properties in any such endeavor. Todd told me this morning that when
he first came on, he communicated with the chief at the time, chief Cervera, about
did they, was there anything that JCOC could do to improve the situation was told
no. So, and we can talk more about that, the police calls later if that's something
you want to get into. JCOC has a no alcohol,no drug tolerance, and zero tolerance
policy and always has had that policy. Now, before I introduce Todd, I want to
give you a little bit of background. The week, well little more than a week ago, I
was asked to come to a meeting which we held with four people who I think very
highly of and have had good relationships with about, is there a win-win here and
the conversation boil down to, could the food service be moved and could it be
moved over to the leader? I had forgotten,but I forgotten one important part, I will
get back to that but I said that I was 100 percent certain that my clients would be
very supportive of doing just that. What I'd forgotten was that they actually had
proposed that to the city over two years ago, after the city at JCOC had spent close
to two years looking for a place to move. That was unsuccessful, and it just doesn't.
It's very hard to find some and Andy has a phenomenal job of explaining that. But
two and a half years ago, JCOC went to the city and said, what do you think about
the idea of doing 50 room SRO, and we try to move the food service over to the
3
cafeteria at the Lita and about three months later, I believe Billy Almond and Todd
were in the meeting or meetings may have been more than one. They just got an
email back. Now we think you're doing a great job where you are, you know, stay
where you are, and do the food service there and the smaller number of SROs. So,
but what I told those gentlemen is that I was 100% certain, and I'm 100% certain
today that that would be a win-win for everybody. And, but for the fact that we
discovered subsequently to apparently surprised that a lot of folks that the lease on
the Lita expires in five months. That's why we're still moving forward. We've been
at this for four years, but I will tell each and every one of you that it's a win-win,
and we hope that is what can happen. But realistically knowing all and I don't mean
but to mean it won't happen,but it's going to take time and we would like to be able
to get started raising money. And obviously we're not going to, if council wants
that to happen, we will be right there, you know, let's do it, we are with you every
step of the way. And if that means we have to wait a while, while they work out
all the issues because it won't be easy, I'm sure. We're perfectly willing to do that.
But we need to have an approved plan so we can go out and start raising money
because our intent was to start in two years and have the money in two years but
the more we that was our intent three and a half years ago. So we need this to move
forward. But we absolutely have JCOC wants to provide more shelter, if we can
provide 50 SROs, we know we can't do it on the site with the food, but the food is
essential, the food is essential. It may not be essential in 10 or 15 years, the trailer
parks,if they redevelop,then,you know, and there's other need out there,other than
those, but those are the primary need, but there are others, but it's certainly
conceivable. But I go back to what I said before, 31 years, the same basic we are
serving 75-78 on average, 78-77 people every night, that's the average. So it's still
there. JC OC as Andy said doesn't create this problem. JCOC is there to serve, to
try to help keep our problem from becoming a bigger one, and keep people from
who are in food insecurity or pay electrical bill insecurity whatever, and to help
them stay in shelter and not become homeless and that's what the food service
provides. And I know they're, you know, I couldn't say it any better than Chief
Cervera said it, you know, there are perceptions but the perceptions aren't the
reality. It doesn't mean that JCOC thinks it's perfect. And JCOC is more than
willing to participate in a security review. The new building, you know, they will
have much more security these, these buildings were there before JCOC, so they're
not modern buildings,but that's not,that is not an issue as far as JCOC is concerned.
With that I want to take a second before Todd Walker comes up, as he's done a lot
of great things for the JCOC to give you a little bit of background. Todd has his
bachelor's degree in Arts degree and criminal justice from Indiana University,
master's degree in public administration from Troy University. He has an
incredible resume of service in the Indianapolis Indiana community from 1999 to
4
2008 and since coming to Virginia Beach in 2008, Todd was the program director
for the Tidewater Youth Services Commission for four years and has been the
executive director of JCOC since 2012. He's a qualified mental health professional
holds the certificate of executive leadership from Cornell University and Todd has
been the recipient of the Virginia Beach Rotary Club or Rotary Club of Virginia
Beach 2009. Paul Harris Fellow Award, the 2018 recipient of the Daniel M. Stone
Humanitarian Award,presented by the Virginia Beach Human Rights Commission
and under Todd's leadership that JCOC was named the 2019 Bank of America
Neighborhood Champion, and I provided you all with a press release about that and
a $200,000 grant to the JC OC, and people like the folks of Bank of America and
others who are will be, we are confident there to help with raising grant money to
build this new facility, which will be a big improvement and a big enhancement to
the 17th street corner. With that, I'll ask Todd to come up. If y'all want to ask me
questions like you can save them for rebuttal or ask them now.
Ms. Oliver: I think we're gonna save them.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Walker: Good afternoon.
Ms. Oliver: Good afternoon, welcome.
Mr. Walker: Thank you for having me. I'm Todd Walker; I serve as the executive director of
Judeo-Christian Outreach Center. What I wanted to speak on today was the letter,
I didn't realize police chief surveyor will be here today to provide a little bit of
clarity, but I did do a deep dive into some of those calls. That's my responsibility,
but also sitting at office every day. And I know what I see and what I don't see. So
I wanted to make sure I got some clarity on what the calls were. We had 66 calls
that were actually service to our address 1053 Virginia Beach Boulevard, out of
those 66 calls; the most common call was officer initiated investigation. Well, we
have no control over that. The second most was public intoxication and we had
seven. I did a four year to find out how many police cars actually came from our
business lines, we have four business lines. And we actually had seven calls. And
this is in a one year span. Within those seven calls forward for the same, four of
were for two offenses. The other three, one was a hit and run. One was a suicide
attempt, and in one was rescue and assist. We had 12 reported offenses that were
actually charges. So 12 and a one year span with the population that we serve, I
would think would be pretty, it's pretty good. Those offenses, you had three drug
offenses and you had three drug paraphernalia. And then the rest were just minor
stuff. But I think it's important to make that you all know that there were no crime.
5
There were no reports of physical violence; there were no reports of assault that
actually occurred on our address. We work extremely hard to provide a safe
environment for anyone attending our dining hall programs. We are effective at
what we do because we treat our clients like people and we meet them where they
are, no judgment,just valuable resources to meet the immediate need. Security is
always present during meal times. We utilize the police department only when
necessary. And I think that's indicated in the low amount of calls, also did a four
years you go a little further east on Virginia Beach Boulevard, it was an area that
actually had 350 calls that went to that specific area. So I just don't think it's fair
that you know, I think there's some opposition is pointing the finger at JCOC like
we're the reason, there's crime at the oceanfront and that's just not true in the
numbers bear that out. JC OC has been doing this; I want to correct Eddie for 33
years. We just celebrated our 33rd anniversary in October. I worked in the human
services field for 27 years; I worked in corrections and mental health, substance
abuse and homelessness. In 20 of those years, I've been in leadership roles. I've
always ensured that I provide the proper training for our staff, especially our
frontline staff, who have the hardest job every day. We facilitate three programs,
our day support program,our emergency shelter and winter shelter. Where we have
no idea who's walking through the door every day. You know, that's the tasks that
we have,but we humbly take on that task because of our love for God who inspires
us to help the least of our brothers and sisters in the community. We provided over
2 million meals since 1986 for people in need during our existence, and we've
assisted over 2000 individual's secure permanent housing during my tenure as the
executive director that doesn't occur we're not equipped to handle the clientele. Our
staff is trying to trauma and informed care and motivational interviewing and
conflict resolution to name a few. Our mission is always to help the people in need
that we are serving. In conclusion, the area that gets missed many times when you
talk about our dining hall programs,the missing misconceptions is we facilitate the
community dinner that the community actually comes in and serves the meal. So
it's not JCOC, it's the many financial institutions, faith based organizations,
different groups. Last week, we had the Girl Scouts they came and served a meal.
All of these groups that come in and are really effective in helping us provide this
service to people in need. And it's one of the few times where somebody can
actually come in and see the need, and meet the needy, I tell our staff all the time,
our job is to plant the seed. We may not always see the flower grow,but our job is
to plant and cultivate as long as we can. But when you provide that meal, you're
planting it and seeing the need be met immediately. So On November the 9th, we
just had a sign up dinner for providing that meal service in 2020. So we had 160
people signed up, they represented 100 organizations and among the many
questions that was asked to me that night, in regards to how many do we need to
6
prepare for what do we need to bring those type of things,out of all of those people,
none of them brought up safety. Nobody said, you know, I'm scared of, you know,
for the safety of my kids or for my parents, I mean safety for myself or kids. And
so I want to make sure that I mentioned that because we operate in a safe
environment, in the community,there comes to serving a community that we serve
as a witness today, so.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, anybody have any questions?
Mr. Alcaraz: I do, unless is he allowed to come back up?
Ms. Oliver: Yeah. Right, thank you so much.
Ms. Sandloop:Madam Chair, we have 21 speakers signed up. And before I call speakers, I want
to just remind everybody that you have three minutes once you get to the podium,
unless you are representing a large group such as the civic league or a homeowner's
association, in which case you will get 10 minutes. Your timing is indicated by the
lights on the podium when you're nearing the end of your time,the yellow light will
flash and when your time is up,the red light will flash. Okay, our first speaker will
be Claude Henry followed by Mark De Roche.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome Mr. Henry,just state your name for the record please.
Mr. Henry: My name is Claude Henry. I first came here in 1989, I was in the military. Things
went wrong. Ate my first meal at what they call the Fire Escape, didn't know that
I was going to have a 10 year in homelessness in and out. With JCOC help, or help
me get to where I'm at today, and today I am no longer homeless. I have a janitorial
business. I picked up a bachelor's degree in theology. I have my rights restored, I
am an investor. So what I'm saying is if somewhat of that magnitude did not put
time out with me, who knows where I might be. I stayed in the shelter, I ate many
meals. I just want to credit that too JCOC. JCOC with the meals and the shelter
exactly what good is is a glove without a hand, it works together. It's like Virginia
Beach, if we didn't have no water we wouldn't have no beach, so it's still being no
good. So what I'm saying is this right here, I know JCOC, I know that the meals
that's provided. When I went in, I got job leads or I was able to get an extra
sandwich that helped me out or more food and I could to help be catch the bus. So
what I'm saying is, with all the neighboring communities as far as Atlantis
Apartments, Friendship, the trailer courts, those people still needs their hot meal. I
remember when I was in the military that I was told a hot meal helps. So what I'm
saying is that when we sit down and look at what JCOC is doing for those 33 years
and what they have done, to sit back and say,hey, lets cut the meals off but we want
this part and both of them altogether as I see it. I would like to challenge all of you,
or even one of yall, go down to the shelter, and when they feed, and look at,
7
especially three days out from the end of the month, from the beginning of the
month check and see who comes in who JC OC helps and make your decision. I
will thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Mark DesRoches and then Jim Johnson.
Ms. Oliver: State your name for the record please.
Mr. DesRoches: Good afternoon. My name is Mark De Roche. I am property owner on the
800 block of Virginia Beach Boulevard. We have formed a group of concerned
stakeholders, composed of 17th Street property owners, Oceanfront hotel owners,
17th Street Atlantic Avenue business owners. We have been trying to mediate the
dining hall issue by identifying a relocation site and pushing the discussion between
the JCOC and the city to relocate. City staff and JCOC have identified a potential
solution, as Eddie alluded to; with a city owned property that all parties feel is a
better fit for the feeding program. For many aspects, it's a much better fit for a lot
of reasons, I won't go into here, but I think everyone here knows why it's a better
fit. We understand this is more work to be done to determine whether the site is
going to be available. We heard all that earlier. We request that the city moves
with a sense of urgency to make this relocation happen. And we also want to point
out that we identified another several properties that are very workable city owned
properties. Some involve APZ1 naval issues,city must approve,use and do that in
conjunction with a discussion with the United States Navy. But there's another
property that's not in a crash zone that fits the parameters that they this community
is looking for it to fit. And I'm not revealing site names, but you should have that
information because it was in the information that Andy Friedman provided to each
of you. There's also a letter to Williams Moines that provided substantial amount
of details about alternate location sites. Why does the dine home need to be
relocated? Well, it's really; quite simply and it comes down to a land use issue and
I know that this board is a land use deciding boards and I would hope. I mean, the
JCOC does great work in this community and a half for a long period of time. And
that's what makes this thing so difficult but at the end of the day, this is a land use.
And this panel must decide, is this an appropriate land use and when you do that,
you really have to look at public safety and the concern for public safety and also
for the protection of the ocean front economy. The JCOC block statistics, not just
their site, as Todd alluded to,but the block had total police calls the 326 calls,which
resulted in 74 offense reports in a one year period. As I just handed it out to you
the shopping center next door,the Food Lion Shop Center which is owned by Reed,
it's difficult to get these guys but they had their corporate attorney write this letter.
This is very serious. And they are opposed to this application, as you can see by
8
looking at this letter. Their police calls were 253 over similar period. And again,
as the police chief to use his words,this is remarkably high. And it's not the JCOC
site. It's the surrounding adjacent sites. This is spilling out everywhere and what
type of offenses are noted, there's a laundry list of them, but you got to drill down
and look at these offenses and think, how would this, you know manifests itself to
the new sports center across the street and these existing neighborhoods and these
existing shopping centers that have been inundated with this for 20 years. So what
type of offenses are noted narcotics and drug violations, larceny, assaults, threaten
bodily harm, kidnapping, abduction, robbery, forcible rape, gunshots and
destruction of property to name a few, there's a laundry list and I try to pick the
most relevant, the most prevalent ones. And the most serious ones in a number of
those are violent crimes. There's a distinction between a run of the mill larceny and
a violent crime. We have a number of violent crimes in this area. Again, not
blaming on the JCOC, they're protecting their property. This is happening outside
their property. So the question becomes, do any of these crimes sound compatible
with a$70 million Sports Center? Actually, I've been corrected Ron Williams told
me this morning it was 63 million but I'll use 63 million. I hope the Planning
Commission will adequately address that consideration. It's up to you guys to
determine whether this rate of crime and this adjacent area is compatible with the
sports center. Police resources, the chief in his letter states, number of police man
hours and resources dedicated to this facility is remarkably high. Our attention and
focus on this one location significantly takes away from our ability to provide high
quality services to all of our citizens. That's the police chief, and he was there
earlier. And I think that statement speaks to the resources,the police department is
suffering from a resource shortage. So the reality of this situation is, we have a
high crime Sports Center area. We have an increasing number of people soon to
be visiting the sports center area. And we do not have enough police resources to
keep everybody safe. So my public safety conclusion is the Sports Center and the
Dining Hall are highly incompatible due to the significant rate of crimes occurring
in the area and the lack of police resources. The ocean front economy, the Sports
Center will bring in 190,000 visitors each year to the Sports Center Area. Currently,
there's over 60 events scheduled for the upcoming first year of operation. There's
over 90,000 additional hotel rooms projected to be sold at the Ocean Front as a
result of the new Sports Center. Increase restaurant and retail spending is also
expected to result from the new $63 million Sports Center. A large number of
children and teenagers will be present in this area. There's a significant number of
new visitors in the area,which increases the risk of a bad outcome, for these visitors
and this risk increases the reputational risk of the city. This can negatively affect
the long term viability of the Sports Center project. And the resort district as a
whole. The Sports Center is our future. It's a once in a generation opportunity for
9
the city of Virginia Beach. It's a shot in the arm for our economy and it's a much
needed shot. Over the last several years, our Ocean Front numbers are down.
There's much talk about this amongst the people that are involved in Atlantic
Avenue, 17 Stree,t hotel, the Hotel Association, we all talk, and the numbers are
down. And we need the Sports Center to pick this up. So how do we do that by
protecting the Sports Senter and relocating the dining hall, it comes all back to,
we're not trying to stop the feeding. We just think the feeding needs to be done
from a new location, 30 years in one location, it's time to change. We can do it
better differently somewhere else. And there are numerous places to choose from,
if the first one falls through. So I'm going to give you another reason, we all want
to help the homeless. We all want to help people that struggle with addiction to
overcome that, that terrible demon. This is another reason why the dining hall
needs to be relocated because it is in incompatible use with the SRO. The SRO
should be a drug and alcohol free facility. City of Virginia Beach program for
rehabilitation of the homeless in conjunction with his partner, the JCOC, proposes
a mixed transitional housing, the SRO with persons that are in a rehabilitation
program, to being are mixed with persons that are not in a rehabilitation program.
That's just homeless feeding. For percentage of residents living in a new
transitional housing that have a substance abuse history,this could lead to a relapse
into habits or lifestyles that brought them through the program in the first place.
This combination leads to people losing their sobriety and repeating the cycle. The
city and the JCOC proposed combination fails the people they are trying to help
and waste taxpayers dollars. The new HRC has an annual budget of$4.3 million
and is step two of the city's program to solve homelessness. Step three is the
proposed SRO. You have a flowchart that explains this.
Ms. Oliver: Got it, but you're out of time. I am very sorry. Do we have any questions for Mr.
DesRoches? Please. Not at this time. Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Jim Johnson and then Ed Konawitz.
Mr. Johnson: Good afternoon. My name is Jim Johnson.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Johnson: I'm here on support of the JCOC. I think I might provide a little bit of unique
perspective here because I've served at the JCOC for between 15 and 20 years. I'm
also a retired Virginia Beach Police Officer 36 years on the job and the last eight
years, my responsibility was the second precinct where the JCOC is located two
blocks down from there. I was responsible for the investigation of property crimes
throughout the second precinct, but certainly in that corridor. I want to make it
clear. I'm not here representing the police department at all,which you'll figure out
10
as soon as I finish. But if we're going to accept that the JCOC does really good
things which we do and that homelessness is a problem down there, which it is, I'm
just going to move to whether there's any cause and effect of the JCOC, on the
crime down there. I was a patrolman down there in the early 80s. There were
homeless people down there in the early 80s and there are homeless people down
there now, JCOC wasn't even there yet. One of the things that I was responsible
for in the police department was to respond to these things called comstat meetings.
I don't know if any of you've heard about them, but it's where all the data is
compiled from all the precincts, the precinct commanders are responsible to come
in address crime trends. The chief, deputy chiefs will ask very pointed questions,
it can be difficult and you had to be prepared for what they were going to ask. I
was responsible for the second precinct crime comstat report or at least partially
responsible for it for eight years. In eight years, the JCCC was never, not one time
listed on a comstat report. In my pocket, I have one of those thumb drives, and I've
got probably about 75 of those comstat report saved on it. I couldn't read every one
of them, but I breezed through them. And I never saw JCOC mentioned. The
precinct staff meetings are held every month. Although I wasn't assigned to the
precinct, I was assigned to the detective bureau they invited me to come in because
of what I was doing. Not one time in eight years of those staff meetings was JCOC
the center of anything, there are lot of things that were centered. We do direct
patrols in Virginia Beach Police Department all the time, that area down there,
everybody in this building knows there were problems down there. Everybody
knows it. But if you look at JCOC and where it sits, you've got Friendship Village
Atlantis, you've got the shopping center, and you've got Colony trailer park and to
suggest that the JCOC somehow had some impact on the crime down there when
you've got all of those places that I'm acutely familiar with and what crime we have
in those places, all the crime that the previous speaker spoke about and more. I
have never seen any connection to JCOC in any crime rate down there, are there
problems, of course there are.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you Mr. Johnson, I appreciate it very much.
Mr. Johnson: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Ed Konowicz and then Teresa Stanley.
Mr. Konowicz: Good afternoon. I'm Ed Konowicz, I am a faculty at ECPI University for
20 years, I ran a student club and the students want to do volunteer work, so we got
together a bunch of computers, got them working and brought them to JCOC and I
went once a week for five years, keeping their computer network and computers
working and showing basically the homeless how to, if they didn't know how to use
computers to contact their relatives through Facebook and emails, and stuff like
11
that. I've never seen any violence at the JCOC, they do once in a while have some
people there who have violent tendencies and they're usually gone in a week. You
know, because I had contact in the computer room with most of the residents
because they would go there to use the computers. This concept of not in my
backyard crime that's a criminal area, if you move the dining facilities and that may
be an option. That's not going to reduce the overall crime by moving people if they
do have criminal intent or whatever,doesn't stop crime. So what stops crime? What
stops crime is police surveillance, cameras, adequate police enforcement because
you want to separate the criminals from the people like one of my not my students,
but ECPI students was there. She was a networker making about 100,000 a year,
her mother got cancer in Pennsylvania, and she couldn't afford the hundred
thousand dollar a year nursing care. So she wanted to take care of her mother. Her
mother died after about a year, she was broke. She came back and got a job, took
a bicycle and buses and one time when she was sitting at a bus stop, she got beat
up and lost the kidney. And as a result of that was homeless, so these are a large
part of the population people are down on their luck, but anyway the thing is to be
compassionate. I have friends that say, well, they're against socialism. They don't
think the government should help the poor so but you're not against socialism,
you're against Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and you're against
government because what do we do as government, we share responsibilities and
we pay a cost for sharing whether we have poor children go to school or garbage
collection, people can afford it. That's the role of government. And the role of
government is to protect people. So we have to go through extra cost and
surveilling the area, so what obviously taxpayer I live here for 40 years,my son and
his family lives here. We rather pay for the extra police protection to secure the
sports area and to deprive people the convenient place where they can have dinner
and food and support so they don't become homeless. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Teresa Stanley, and then Tom Musumeci.
Ms. Stanley: Good afternoon, commissioners. I am Teresa Stanley and I chair the advocacy
portion of the Interfaith Alliance at the beach. The Interfaith Alliance at the beach
is more than, it's a 30-year-old organization that is a partnership of lots of faith
communities in the city of Virginia Beach, that have been working in partnership
with many of the partners like JCOC for decades to deal with gap services that meet
the residents of our city. And so on behalf of them with full consensus in that group,
we fully endorse this application and want to laud and applaud JCOC because they
are a long term partner, I date myself when I talk about the Fire Escape and then
Brenda McCormick days and Alice Taylor and then as we went on to create all
kinds of responses in the city, but many of those have started with the faith
12
community,the faith community, Seton house is one of those,we respond to where
the need already is. So homelessness and people in need, were at the Ocean Front
and as first line responders in faith communities, we are constantly getting the
information about what is the need, and then lining up to address the cause. And
for more than 30 years, we've been doing it with JCOC; it enhances the
communities' money when it comes to the dining hall. So I specifically want to
speak to the need of those vital services. People will come to my church, and they
will ask me, how am I going to pay my rent or the high utility bill, and these are
our service workers that run our tourism, these are the vital workers that we need,
and they have to make the choice often between eating and whether that utility gets
paid and they keep their housing. So it is prevention of homelessness and it is a
community response by gathering the dollars that all the partners that serve and
when Todd says they have the day, all kinds of folks line up because they feel safe
in that environment. These are people that often have to be coaxed into being with
people that are different than they are. They feel safe there. The security has been
there. For more than 30 years, we've been doing it and many of the families that
we're serving are not just homelessness, they are people on the brink of
homelessness. So the need is already there. JCOC has proven track record, the
idea that they're not going to provide 38 units of single room occupancies that are
sorely needed in the city, as many of us work for affordable housing. And they
have a blueprint with an enhanced dining facility, where both faith community and
other partners as well as the people were serving themselves feel safe. It's a no
brainer. It's one that we have to figure out how to come together with as a
community, but as somebody who's been doing this for more than 30 years, the
NIMBY issue is alive and well and it's always there. And we need to make sure
that we find ways that people feel safe,but we also need to be moving forward with
organizations that have proven, have a proven track record for meeting the needs
that we need in this community. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Tom Musumeci and then Morris Fine.
Mr. Musumeci: Good day members of the Planning Commission. My name is Tom
Musumeci, my property is at 1008 Coastaway Drive in the Sea Bridge Square
neighborhood located directly next to the JCOC. I am against the soup kitchen for
the following reasons. One, the JCOC has a no questions asked policy at the soup
kitchen. This was documented in an expose done on the JCOC by 10 on your side
last year. The JCOC knows that they are serving people under the influence of
drugs and alcohol. This was also in the 10 on your side expose they were a JCOC
client talk freely to the reporter about the drugs and alcohol that consumed all
around the JCOC. I have also provided the commission and staff significant
13
photographic evidence that I have collected over the last 20 years of the alcohol
consumed all around the JCOC. The JC OC does not allow drugs and alcohol to be
consumed on its property. In essence, the JCOC says to their clients, go on to
somebody else's property and do your drugs and alcohol. And when you're ready,
come back and we'll feed you when you're hungry. When we address this issue
with the JCOC, their response to us for the last 20 years has always been if it's not
on our property, it's not our problem. It is grossly irresponsible to create a serious
problem on your neighbor's property, and then refuse to acknowledge and address
that problem. There's not a single person in this room today that will put up with
that type of behavior in their neighborhood and its past time for the city to put a
stop to it. Two, we've been deeply frustrated by how the staff has handled this
application. The opposition is provided the staff significant amounts of information
regarding the issues that the JCOC is creating in the neighborhood, none of which
is addressed in the staff report. Our frustration is further evidence by the way, the
staff handled the letter from the police chief dated October 31st. Instead of
addressing the issues raised in the letter and the staff report, it appears that the staff
went out of its way to notify the JC OC about this letter and burry it from the
opposition. I obtained via a FOIA request an email from Bill Landfair to the JCOC
and their attorney. The email was dated November 5, and I quote Todd and Eddie,
see the letter attached from the VB police drafted by the captain of the second
precinct, which lays out their concerns respect to the JCOC and the surrounding
area. It is a strongly worded letter and suggested in their words that the amount of
resources dedicated to the JCOC is remarkably high. Bill,I had to threaten the staff
with a FOIA request before they would even send the chiefs letter to me. Even
though Bill Landfair was well aware of my contact information,the reason the staff
requested information from the police was to verify statistics I obtained via FOIA
requesting over the previous three year period that there were 1,257 police and fire
responses directly to the JCOC property at 1053 Virginia Beach Boulevard. How
can it be that all of this evidence is ignored in the staff report? Why is the staff
ignoring our voices? Why is the staff allowing expanded hours of the operation the
soup kitchen until 9 pm? The neighbors of the JCOC have rights too. Why is the
staff ignoring the health, safety and welfare of the neighbors? I respectfully submit
the staff report is hopelessly tainted, and therefore must be rejected by this
commission. Finally, I provided information from another FOIA I obtained
showing that the staff worked extensively to provide the JCOC hand just two blocks
from the new housing resource center. The JCOC rejected the offer. It was a great
opportunity for collaboration with the city. It is important to look at the union
mentioned in the Norfolk experience, when the Union Mission moved from
downtown Norfolk to Ingleside Road,the people found their way to Ingleside Road
and the new facility to obtain services just because the JCOC has been on 17th
14
street for a long time does not mean that it makes sense to continue at that site.
Given all of this, I respectfully request that you deny the soup kitchen application.
Thank you.
Mss. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Morris Fine and then Mr. Bibbs.
Mr. Fine: Ladies and gentleman, I'm Morris Fine and I'm an attorney. And I represent Seathin
which is the owner of the Trailer Park that is notoriously owned by the Trapline
family. It's on 37 acres; it's almost adjoining this property. And they've been there
probably 100 years. And they are not insensitive to the issue of the JCOC and we
applaud them for what they have done, what they say and what I think Mr.
DesRoches was saying, this is a planning issue, all of us applaud what the
volunteers and the community has done for the homeless, our community has done
a great deal for the homeless. We have built a facility on Witchduck Road, which
I understand and they're going to bus the people from Witchduck Road to this food
facility. Food I hear is that everybody agrees that it ought to be at another place,
not this particular place and for that reason,and the reasons that we've already heard
about and safety and I won't go into that, as it may also be a parking issue because
the staff has to park there and then I understand that they are homeless people that
come to get fed in a car even. So, there is a parking issue, we have issues here that
are not addressed, and I would suggest that in order to address the problem, we
should not perpetuate the problem. Let's not agree to perpetuate this problem. It
ought to be turned down, then it'll go to the City Council and the City Council will
deal with it. There are problems here that need to be ironed out and this is not the
forum for that. I would suggest that at this point at least, the planning part of it be
denied. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Mr. Fine.
Ms. Sandloop:Last name Bibbs and then Liz Stevenson.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Bibbs: Hello,my name is Robert Bibbs. I'm a JCOC Board Member and thank you for the
opportunity to speak to you today. In terms of the location,the homeless have been
in Virginia Beach many years before JCOC started,and they are seem to congregate
around the Ocean Front, and we think the current facility is ideally located for our
mission. And our mission is to empower people to recover from crises situations,
primarily hunger, homelessness and disabilities. That's what we do every day,
that's what our staff deals with. And the facility we have right now is critically in
bad shape. It's dilapidated, plumbing, electrical are terrible. One building was
15
condemned for asbestos, and for JCOC to complete our mission going forward,we
need a new facility as soon as possible,it is that critical. We are aware of the citizen
concerns. And I just want to remind the Commission, the new facility is going to
be set back about 70 feet from the current location. And, so; as our clients gather
for dinner or other services,okay, they're going to be set back further. And then as
soon as they come on our property,we're going to get them into the building so that
people will not be visible from Virginia Beach Boulevard and I think that's very
important. But, I want to shift my comments, now my next comments come from
a different perspective. I'm a member of Kings Grant Presbyterian Church on Little
Neck Road. Our Christian faith compels us to help people in need to serve others.
We believe JCOC is the perfect vehicle for our church, and many other Virginia
Beach churches to respond to this call from God. We have many people from our
church today I think we got 15 people back here from our Church, and thank you
for coming by the way,and they are passionate about the opportunity to serve. They
love to help people in need through the JCOC Support Programs. Our church has
served 12 community dinners in last two years. I have personally participated in
most of those dinners. We come in about five o'clock and finish up about 7:30. The
clients in our experience are well behaved, very appreciative of the meal and the
love being served. We have not seen unruly behavior, violence, fighting or
substance abuse on the property. In conclusion to the Planning Commission, I and
our 400 church members strongly believe that the Judeo Christian Outreach Center
is a vital resource to our community. The City of Virginia Beach needs a vibrant
Judeo Christian Outreach Center to help our citizens who struggle mightily with
homelessness and hunger. We ask for your support of this property of this facility.
To the citizens who are dissenting, we respect your opinion. I pray that you can
soften your hearts and consider how critical it is to provide meals to the less
advantaged people in our community and many instances...
Ms. Oliver: Thank you Mr. Bibbs, I'm sorry, your time is up.
Mr. Bibbs: Thank you.
Mr. Ripley: I would ask a question. As a board member, you know, there's been discussion
about the opportunity to relocate the food service to what I heard and that make
makes the most sense,is this police academy and if it worked out? Is that something
the board supports? You have the feeding facilities on your property or with that
[Crosstalk]?
Mr. Bibbs: We have residents sleeping there, our office there,that's our support system. That's
where we've been for 33 years and we'd like to keep it there.
Mr. Ripley: But would you support that?
16
Mr. Bibbs: Support moving it?
Mr. Ripley: Yeah.
Mr. Bibbs: Not our preference. We'd rather keep it where it is.
Mr. Ripley: Not your preference,but would you support it if it was made available to you?
Mr. Bibbs: I don't know the view of the board is in general; my personal view is I would not
like to do that.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Graham: That is contrary to what I had heard earlier from representative of JCOC. And,
what I'm hearing from some of the speakers, there's been really sounds like you
guys want to keep it where it is. There's a cost associated with it for commercial
property near it, but it seems like that's okay with the JCOC. Am I wrong? Is a
thought that other property should take on the financial burden of all the people that
are loitering and other things? I'm just curious, because it just really I don't know,
is that the case?
Mr. Bibbs: Your question is, you know, is it better to try to move to the kitchen? Is that what
you're asking me? And I think we could move.
Mr. Graham: I'm not asking you. You've already told us that it's not better to move the kitchen.
It's not your belief that it is.
Mr. Bibbs: By moving the kitchen,that doesn't fix the crime problem, crime still going to exist
whether the kitchen is in point A or point B.
Mr. Graham: Well, my guess is if the soup kitchen is next to a police academy, there's probably
going to be a little bit less crime at the soup kitchen, but I could be wrong.
Mr. Bibbs: Well, I think we'll have the security cameras and will be further set back and I
would like to keep it where it is, sir.
Mr. Barnes: Okay. All right.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Thank you very much.
Mr. Bibbs: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Liz Stevenson and then Beth Richardson.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome. State your name for the record please?
17
Ms. Stevenson: Liz Stevenson and I'm a Pungo resident. For the last 20 years, my family
has supported the Judeo Christian Outreach Center. My husband Kevin Stevenson,
the President and CEO of PRA group could not attend today. But I wanted to share
that along with our family, PRA group has become a major corporate sponsor of
JCOC. PRA is a global company headquartered right here in the 757. They chose
JCOC as one of their major corporate donations,as has the Bank of America. These
major corporations realize the important role JCOC plays in our community. I am
here today to convince you of the same. As I became an empty nester, I started to
volunteer weekly and by the way,I'm there every week and I haven't seen any police
cars. I've seen one ambulance because a lady fell ill. And I immersed myself into
the JCOC, I was then asked to join the board of directors. Now the question is,why
do I drive all the way from Pungo to the Oceanfront every week, put in extra hours
at JCOC, when there's so many other charitable organizations on the way there or
nearby me. I could play with the puppies at the SPCA or the horses at Equi-kids,
or I could go back down to Creeds Elementary and work with the students down
there like I did when I was with the PTA. I do it because I believe in the mission
of the Judeo Christian Outreach Center. I believe it is my duty to serve those less
fortunate than me. And, I believe in Todd Walker's ability to make this great
program even greater. JCOC works to provide two of the most basic human needs
food and shelter, while allowing a person to maintain their dignity. The various
feeding programs that you heard that have been almost 181,000 meals last year
keep those families in their homes and keep their children belly from growling. Let
me repeat that so you remember it, to keep the families in their homes, and I want
to leave you with a short verse. When the multitudes found Jesus, they continued
to follow him and he was moved with compassion for them. That evening, the
disciples came to him telling him to send the multitudes away, that they can go buy
their own food,but Jesus said to them,they do not need to go away. You give them
something to eat. The hungry people do not just go away into the cracks. There
are people that live among us with and without homes and we must have
compassion on them and follow Jesus' lead that we must give them something to
eat. We need to rebuild this campus, and I'm asking you to vote for that. Thank
you.
Ms. Sandloop:Beth Richardson and then Linwood Branch.
Ms. Richardson: Good afternoon. Thank you for having me. I'm Elizabeth Richardson. I
live at Sea Bridge Square neighborhood, which is behind the JCOC. Anyway, I'm
a little nervous. I've lived there since 1990, so I've seen how it has evolved. I've
even volunteer there. I've worked there at the convention center. I've seen the
homeless for decades. I know them by name. We are talking about professional
homeless. Our concerns are, they are only concerned about to the fence. If you're
18
going to have compassion for your fellow brothers and sisters, I'm your brother and
sister that live there. I see the beer cans and the drugs and the prostitutes on the
corner at our bus stop. We have to call the police when the police department
brought a tower that is on a trailer and it rises up in the air so they could see, it's an
observation tower, the professional name of it but within minutes, all the homeless
walked out of that parking lot that were beside the homeless shelter because they
didn't want to be seen by this camera that is on this tower. We as a neighborhood
have been frustrated by the lack of cooperation, because they only want to police
to their fence and someone's on the other side of the fence talking to the people
being served, and they're doing all this bad stuff. And it's all around, 500 feet
around and this is right across the street from the new Sports Plex. I don't see one
of my neighbors here, because we're poor people, and we are working. I took off
work to come here. These people do not come here and watch in the parking lot
what's going on? It may be beautiful where their head lives are on when they're
being fed,but when they're outside the Judeo Christian Outreach Facility, there's a
problem. And if they really have concern for my neighborhood, why aren't they
helping us through these last 30 years to help bridge the gap to clean up around
their facility,not just their facility. I want to feed homeless people,but I don't want
them to take an advantage of my hospitality in my neighborhood because they're
coming through. Thank you very much for having me.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Linwood Branch and then Bill Desteph.
Mr. Branch: Members of the Planning Commission, my name is Linwood Branch. I'm here
today speaking as a member of the Resort Area Strategic Action Planning
Committee, which we call RASAP 2030. This plan sets forth resort development
vision for the next decade. For the past year, the committee has worked very hard
and is comprised of civic business and major attraction representatives with ample
staff support. I feel it would be very unfair for you to make this very important
decision today without benefit of the committee's recommendations regarding 17th
Street. You'll be receiving the RASAP 2030 plan next month,but you need to hear
the vision now and I'm going to tell you what it is. I was struck by the fact that the
planning staff write up for this application specifically mentioned that the RASAP
plan is silent on 17th Street that is true the current plan on file,which was developed
in 2007. 17th Street is not mentioned in that document and none of the eight
recommended CRP priorities includes anything to do the 17th Street, 17th Street is
as neglected in that document as it has been historically, a road where one drives
on gutter pans with public infrastructure dating back to the town of Virginia Beach.
Out of towners would curiously ask how this land so close to the ocean could be so
under and unsuitably developed. A land use consultant hired by the City in the
19
1990s deemed the stretch of real estate as the most underutilized, he had ever seen
anywhere in the country. This is the land that time seemingly has forgotten. And
the RASAP 2030 plan which you'll be getting next month, 17 Street takes on a
primary role, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of that quarter show the
following. Strengths close to the ocean, Sports Center, Convention Center, ViBe
district and Dome project. Strength, 17th Street improvements have already made
the city budget. Strengths, significant parcels of underdeveloped and undeveloped
land in a city where there has become a precious commodity. Strength advocacy
groups that have been organically created by caring citizens including the ViBe
district and the 17th Street Association. Weaknesses, incompatible uses but if the
City sets the vision over time, economics should inset the redevelopment of the tow
yards and auto repair centers. Given those strengths and weaknesses, 17th Street
will receive these recommendations that are coming your way from our committee;
17th Street is designated as a gateway to the resort from Bird Neck Road East. The
17th Street quarter is listed as a key development area. A 17 Street is our number
one recommended priority project for CIP streetscape improvements. The corridor
is envisioned to be primarily mixed use and residential with an assortment of
dwelling units including affordable and workforce housing, creating a walkable
community to the abundant employment opportunities nearby. This workforce
housing is very important to the business community. We should take advantage
of every policy and program to provide affordable in entry level housing in the
quarter. So how does this application before you fare with the RASAP 2030 vision.
Well, the SRO housing component fits perfectly. Entry level affordable housing
helps live 38 more people from living on the street, under shelter, recommend
approval. It is not possible to make a case that a dining hall operation was street
feeding types of feeding supports this proposed plan. We need a better plan.
Recommend denial. I can report to you that after spending a year listening to the
people who have made tremendous investments in the ViBe district, trying to
resuscitate this corridor, and from those who would like to join them in
development,the passion and desire is real. A 17th Street is finally getting attention
and love. I have passed out a page to you from the RASAP 2030 draft report,which
shows the current state of 17th Street and the proposed future state of 17th Street
as planners entrusted with making land use recommendations for a City, I ask you
which picture will provide the affordable housing and employment opportunities,
which is really the main focus we should put on homelessness. If you favor the
future,plan does a street feeding dining hall help or hurt that cause? In my opinion,
it does not. 17th Street can no longer be an incoherent mixture of contradictory
uses. It is time to choose a path. This is the choice before you. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
20
Ms. Sandloop:Bill Desteph and then Gina DesRoches. Mr. Desteph, all right Gina DesRoches
and then Bert Harrell.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Ms. DesRoches: Hi. Thank you planning commission members for your consideration
today, my name is Gina DesRoches. And I'm a property owner and a concerned
citizen. The Planning Commission is tasked with making recommendations to the
city council on land use issues in consultation with the city staff. Upon reading the
staff report on this application, I was struck by the lack of transparency concerning
the significant safety issues which have plagued this area. When the City staff
asked the police department to provide support for the crime statistics in this area,
the letter from the Chief of Police was given just one sentence in the staff report.
Since September of 2018, the JCOC has not providing shelter services as this
location is my understanding they've moved to the HRC. So, they have just been
providing the feeding program. So, I think it gives us a good years worth of data
to look at, to quote from the police chief letter and this is his quote, "However, it is
my professional opinion that the JCOC staff is under equipped to address the full
scope of issues that are present at this location. As a result of Virginia Beach Police
Department is consistently called upon to alleviate citizens concerns and address
criminal activity,which is best evidence by the fact that there were 326 police calls
for service in a one-year timeframe for just one city block."He goes on to state and
I
"our attention and focus on this one location significantly takes away from our
ability to provide the high quality of services that the Virginia Beach Police
Department strives to provide equally and proportionately to all citizens who live,
work and play at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront". There are significant public
safety issues in this area and there have been for years. I do not believe the right
course of action is just to continue the same practices and hope for a different
outcome. Do the surrounding businesses and property owners not have any rights?
Looking forward, the City will open a new $63 million Sports Center for children
and young adult athletes. The parking lot is located directly across the street from
the JCOC with the curb cut into the parking lot of the Sports Center. The Sports
Center will bring thousands of children for sporting events into the area. Does
anybody have any doubt that the crime the current residents and businesses have
been dealing with for years will not manifest themselves at the sports center? So,
in closing, I feel like we all have numerous questions and concerns and how can
you make an informed decision at this time? Our leaders and decision makers just
going to approve this and hope things change?
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
21
Ms. DesRoches: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Sorry.
Mr. Redmond:Madam Chair, I've a question, please don't go away. I'm gonna go way out on a
limb and guess that you and Mark are married?
Ms. DesRoches: That's correct.
Mr. Redmond:Okay. So where is it, the piece of property that you own?
Ms. DesRoches: We own property across, directly across from the second precinct.
Mr. Redmond: There's the aerial. Can you show me on this?
Ms. DesRoches: It's a little further down. It's directly across from the second precinct. And,
I do have a little story to tell with that when we bought the property, it was over
grown with brush and in the back of it, and we, we got numerous complaints from
people that they said there's people living in there. And it's affecting us, and we
want you to clean it up and we weren't mandated to clean it up,but we did clean it
up. And, it was really quite a sight when we did it. There were needles, there was
clothing. There was just everything you could imagine in that area.
Mr. Redmond: I am clearly unsurprised by that, I found that in places in my neighborhood
as well. So, when did you buy that property?
Ms. DesRoches: In May of, I think it's 2018.
Mr. Redmond: May, so last year?
Ms. DesRoches: Yes.
Mr. Redmond: Okay. Thank you.
Ms. DesRoches: You're welcome. Does that make a difference?
Mr. Redmond: You answered my question.
Ms. DesRoches: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Bert Harrell, I'm guessing and then Shannon Kane.
Mr. Harrell: Good afternoon.
Ms. Oliver: Good afternoon. Please state your name for the record.
22
Mr. Harrell: My name is Bert Harrell and I am with Pavilion Realty down at the Oceanfront, I
have the shopping center directly beside the JCOC, and had a few things I wanted
to bring up front of the Planning Commission if I could. One thing wanted to know
is that we built shopping center approximately three years before the JCOC broke
ground on the facility. So, I have personally seen ups and downs associated with
underprivileged in the homeless. We are compassionate for the homeless and
believe they should be helped, but although the JCOC provides a service the
homeless population and those who are looking for their next meal, there are many
negative aspects associated with the operation. I would like to read a letter from
the adjoining shopping center. I'm sure some of the people in the audience have
not heard this but this is from Phillips Eddison, who owns the Food Lion next door.
JCOC currently provides free meals and temporary housing assistance at their
existing facility while Phillips Eddison appreciates the work JCOC does to the
community that JCOC operation jeopardizes the safety of our customers and
property. Of the 253 calls for service at our shopping center, 88 are rising from
homeless or pandered. This is pretty good example of what's going on. We have
faced the same at our shopping center spending roughly$14,000 a year on security
just to monitor our shopping center. Homeless breaking into our building, sleeping
behind our store, panhandling, loitering, shoplifting, and all these things I have
personally witnessed. In the last couple of months, we've had numerous meetings
with the JCOC, their attorney and board members trying to come up with a
consensus or something that we could all agree upon. When I presented the crime
problem in our shopping center, one board member stated that they would like to
see the reports, as if I was making this up. I also stated that I could not understand
why the applicant did not approach us to talk about the possible application before
it was submitted. The comment was, "well, you didn't contact us either.". Since
the beginning of the JCOC, no one has ever and, I stress ever called us to see what
can be done to address the problems we were experiencing with their operation. I
have heard so many times. We can't control what's goes on outside of our parking
lot. On a weekly basis, we have also hired towing companies to tow vehicles from
the side of our shopping center. No one at the JCOC seems to think that they are
the central theme to some of the problems associated with this corner of the city.
Our rental income has been severely impacted, and we do not receive market rate
because of the homeless shelter next door. Has anyone talked to the merchants in
the next either shopping center, ask the manager of the Dollar General if she feels
safe at night? Or how about the manager at the smoke shop who has to lock her
door?
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Harrell, time is up but I do want to ask you a question and specifically since
you are a neighbor of the JCOC how is this effecting the shop in your shopping
center?
23
Mr. Harrell: Well, we do not receive the normal market rate of rental income that we would
normally see at a shopping center. And, our expenses based upon removal of trash,
debris,security,common area,maintenance area items are typically higher than any
other shopping center we operate.
Ms. Oliver: And, the one on the either on the other side, I guess it was the?
Mr. Harrell: Phillip Eddison who owns that where the Food Lion is.
Ms. Oliver: They experiencing the same?
Mr. Harrell: Yes maam, exactly the same thing. They're currently spending $22,000 a year in,
I'm sorry, $20,000 a year in undercover or off duty police officers to monitor their
shopping center.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Graham: Quick question about the parking,you mentioned that you had to tow cars from the
parking lot. Where the cars coming from?
Mr. Harrell: They're coming into our parking lot; they parked on the far south side next to the
Dollar General. And, the people walk over and go to JCOC.
Mr. Graham: These are people that are going to the JCOC?
Mr. Harrell: Yes sir.
Mr. Graham: And they are parked?
Mr. Harrell: Yes sir.
Ms. Oliver: And, is that do, I'm just asking question is that due to the fact there's no parking on
that?
Mr. Harrell: I cannot say for certain,but I know that I have personally witnessed numerous times
and we have this problem when we discuss it with our tenants there that there's
parking, people parking there and going over to JCOC.
Ms. Oliver: And the response from the JCOC?
Mr. Harrell: We can't control that.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Ron.
Mr. Ripley: This morning, the police chief addressed this informal meeting I don't know if you
were in there.
24
Mr. Harrell: Yes sir, I was here.
Mr. Ripley: Okay. And he spoke of the safety security plan. Is that something you'd be willing
to participate with the property owners did together and trying to determine a
strategy.
Mr. Harrell: But if, you know, if we're looking at past history there's never been anything
presented to that aspect of trying to help the neighbors around this center.
Mr. Ripley: I understand that.
Mr. Harrell: Yes, I am willing to do.
Mr. Ripley: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Yes David.
Mr. Weiner: It's going to be hard to say but I would say it anyway. Back in the early 80s when
the Belo was there in that shopping center, I just working at Belo and it hasn't
changed one bit since that shopping center. I mean, nothing has been trying to fix
up, we haven't tried to fix it up, put a new sign on it, anything to it, I mean, I don't,
I mean,I gotta tell you the truth. I go there every 2 weeks, I go to Jessy's over there
all the time; It is one of my favorite places. So, I mean, but it's nothing's changed
there since the early 80s. You can't blame it on not getting the amount of money
because of the homeless because nothing's changed there and that means it's been
like that. You know what I'm getting at. that's my opinion. That's just my opinion.
Mr. Harrell: It's just your opinion, sir. Yes, sir.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else? Okay, thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Shannon Kane, and then George Moore. Ms. Kane, alright, Mr. Moore and then
Dallas Stamper.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Moore: Thank you. Good afternoon, Madam Chairman and the Commissioners of the
Planning Commission. My name is George Moore, a retired local businessman
who owned the mortgage company in Virginia Beach for over 20 years. I'm also
the co chair of the Board of Directors of the JCOC, and a volunteer for this
organization since 1988. It is an honor to speak with you today asking for your
approval to build a new campus at our current site on 17th Street. Now, it's been a
long day today. I appreciate you all being here and letting us bring this to your
attention that we do want to get approval for our new campus. But I do want to
clarify one thing, we would and are willing to move our dining hall to a facility that
25
the city is working with us. I have been in several meetings with Todd and other
board of director members with Ron Williams, Andy Friedman, Eddie, our
attorney, Ruthie Hill, and Karen Prochilo,this has happened several times over the
last few years. And we are very interested in moving the facility of the dining hall.
When we find that facility, we just haven't found it yet. They are working very
hard with the SeaTac Elementary School, but we just have not found that yet and
had been approved to do that,but I do want to say that there has not been violence
or loitering at our facility and I've been serving there myself for the dinners. And
that is not something that is going on in our facility. So again, I wanted to be short
with my presentation and to be brief but I did want to stress about our ability and
willingness to move with you all to a new facility if we found one.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Graham: Question, are you on the same board, the gentleman from the Presbyterian church
is on?
Mr. Moore: Yes sir.
Mr. Graham: You guys have a different opinion? So, what is, I mean, I'm hearing two different
things from two different board members on the same board.
Mr. Moore: As I have stated, it is our position. the Board of Directors that we would move our
dining hall to another facility if bound that was satisfactory to our organization.
That is correct.
Mr. Oliver: Okay. Thank you very much.
Mr. Horsley: I have a question. If you did move this dining facility,would that not help alleviate
some of the problems that some of these neighboring businesses and all or complain
about with parking them and I'm anticipating that when people come for the meals
as when you get this access parking, and maybe access lorry because you got more
people there during meal time than you have any other time, with not just help
alleviate some of that loitering problems and parking problems that these people
have talked about this afternoon?
Mr. Moore: Yeah, we really don't have any loitering problems because once we serve dinner at
6 o'clock,the meals are over by 6:30 or 6:45 and Todd has told me this many times
before,by 7:30 everyone has gone?
Mr. Horsley: Well, they may leave your property, but they may go around to a neighboring
property, do they do that?
Mr. Moore: I am not familiar with what.
26
Mr. Horsley: That's the point, I am getting. If they're not eating they won't be there to do that.
Is that right?
Mr. Moore: Well, we don't have that type of clientele coming to eat at our facility, they're not
going out, to my knowledge the other neighborhoods and creating any situations.
I'm not aware of that.
Ms. Oliver: Well I have a couple of questions for you, you said that the food service is over by
7 or 7:30?
Mr. Moore: Yes ma'am.
Ms. Oliver: On your application, it asks for it to be finished at 9. So, are you not, are you all
ending your food service at 7 or 9?
Mr. Moore: Well, like I said, we serve dinner at 6, and again, I've been there and done this
numerous times. In fact, I'm representing my church this coming year, as setting it
up, our folks helping with our church. We eat at 6 o'clock, about 6:30 or 6:45, the
folks have been fed and they leave the building and the facility.
Ms. Oliver: Well, one of the conditions on this application asked for it to be ending at 9. So,
I'm a bit confused that?
Mr. Moore: Well if they can stay until 9.
Ms. Oliver: They can stay there till 9.
Mr. Moore: Yes,he does agree to that, but I'm just saying, as a general rule, people do not stay
around and again, the word loitering came up once, but we would be happy for
them to stay. We enjoy meeting with the folks and whatever we could do to help
them, we would do that.
Ms. Oliver: Understood. Now, I just want to get just a little bit of clarification of what
Commissioner Horsley said about the loitering and then you mentioned, not our
kind of clientele, so; I'm trying to understand the definition of what that means.
Mr. Moore: Well, what I'm saying is we do feed the homeless people, but we don't have any
situation where we have any crime or anyone that's not in order is what I really
meant to say.
Ms. Oliver: While they're in your facility?
Mr. Moore: That's correct.
Ms. Oliver: But when they leave the property, is I think is what the neighbors are saying?
27
Mr. Moore: Again, I am not familiar with them leaving our property and going around to other
neighborhoods. I don't know why that would be an issue because they come to our
place. They're not of any obviously, they're not intoxicated or anything of that
nature.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Thank you. Anybody else have any other questions? Mr. Graham.
Mr. Graham: Thank you. We've heard from a few of the people that live behind the JCOC or
own a shopping center next to it, were on a property further down the road is that
they are experiencing drugs and alcohol on their property. And, I believe it's not
happening at the JCOC, it sounds like you are on a tight ship when it's, you know,
kind of with an effort, you know, explain when it's, you know, it's not allowed on
JCOC property, but it sounds like it does when the people are on the way there or
maybe when they're leaving,or maybe they're waiting for a meal,it seems like that's
when it's happening. But I keep hearing that, you know, it's not well, it's on our
property,but I can't control what's going on down the road.
Mr. Moore: Again, Mr. Graham I'm not aware of that happening at all, where our clientele is
leaving our property and going out and doing this type of thing.
Mr. Graham: Is this first you've heard of it?
Mr. Moore: Oh, no, I'm saying that. It does not happen. That's what I am saying.
Mr. Graham: Does not happen.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Dallas Stamper and then Richard Maddox.
Mr. Stamper: Good afternoon. I'm Dallas Eugene Stamper Junior. My dad would like me to say
it that way. I run a PiN Ministry. So, I'm the Executive Director there, but I'm
speaking to you today as a lifelong citizen of Virginia Beach, I went to Malibu
Elementary School, Independence Middle School and Princess Anne High School,
spent three years in the Army in the 82nd Airborne Division. But other than that,
I've lived in this city. This is my City. I'll be buried somewhere in this city. And
I started as an engineer, but eventually started going out and helping homeless
people and that's how organization started. And the meals are so critically
important to bringing people in to give them help. I've seen with organization with
JCOC, there are people that are working, but they're struggling to eat. And they
rely on like JCOC to come in so that they can get a meal. It's just, and then their
lives begin to change like you heard from Claude earlier today. The meal was the
first part. And as the resident of Virginia Beach, I'm very excited about what's
happening in the future of our city. All the great things were going to build to
28
attract people to our city. But I also don't want the poor people in our city to be
forgotten that live at the Oceanfront, we have people that have a lot of money and
people that have very little money. And I want to make sure that the citizens that
are our neighbors and our people that we care about, are able to still eat and those
kinds of things. And I can tell you personally, I've been working with homeless
people since 2002. I know more homeless people than probably most of the people
in this room. And 95% of them are good people who want to change, who have
gotten themselves into tough situations. And, I can tell you from knowing JCOC,
long before Todd was there, they've made great strides and cleaning up the area to
do things, you don't drive down 17th Street and see the people that used to see out
there and that's because JCOC has been proactive about that. They've heard the
cries of the citizens and they've reacted and so and they'll continue to. I have a
great relationship with JCOC, we work together to try to help people to transition
them from being homeless to not being homeless and Housing Resource Center is
a great thing, but we're still resort city. And sometimes people come to our city
because it's called Virginia Beach. And, it's how you take those people that are in
those tough situations and transition them. So, I don't think I'm going to take my
whole time, but I want to thank you guys and,tell you that the meals are extremely
important. What we've seen is feeding people gets them to take the next step
because you have a relationship with them. And I can't tell you the number of
relationships that I've had that have taken the next step by having a meal. So,thank
you all.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Richard Maddox, and then Drew Lankford.
Mr. Maddox: Good afternoon Madam Commissioner, and all committee members. My name is
Richard Maddox. I'm a former Beach District council member. I'm a former RAC
member, former chairman of the Resort Leadership Council and my family's been
in business in the resort for 70 years. In 17 years ago,when I was on Council,there
were serious discussions by both senior staff and council regarding the JCOC and
its land compatibility for the $250 million Convention Center, and we're getting
ready to build. We talked a lot about the impacts, the negative impacts and how it
was really not compatible with that facility. And the 17 years that have taken place
since a lot has happened. The ViBe has sprung up organically triggering and
furthering the rebirth of 17th Street. This year's budget as Linwood said a minute
ago, the city appropriated nearly $30 million to begin the reconstruction of 17th
Street from Pacific all the way back to Bird Neck. And, we have a $70 million
athletic facility under construction directly across the street from the JCOC which
will bring people in,kids from all over the country to that location. The impacts of
the JCOC are real and they're severe. The community,the surrounding businesses,
29
and the neighborhoods deal with it every day, things too graphic to mention on this
podium. I'm not here to disparage the people that work at the JCOC. They do great
work. They're dedicated and they're well intended, but the feeding component is
absolutely incompatible. It was incompatible 17 years ago. It's even more
incompatible today. I would urge you in the strongest possible way to deny that
component of the planning item today. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Any questions? No, thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Drew Lankford and then Barbara Clark.
Mr. Maddox: Good afternoon Madam Commissioner, and all committee members. My name is

Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Any questions? No, thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Drew Lankford and then Barbara Clark.
Mr. Lankford: Good afternoon.
Ms. Oliver: Good afternoon.
Mr. Lankford: My name is Drew Lankford, I worked with the City in the Public Works
Department, and I'm the Vice Chair of the Board for the JCOC. I had quite a few
30
things to write down today, but I think maybe it's more important to come back
circle back and respond or reinforce some of the things that have been discussed
before I stood up. What we are talking about is putting housing units on this site,
that's what it's always been about. We have started the question; we've shifted the
questions over about the feeding facility. We've made it clear for the last couple of
years, we're not opposed to relocating the feeding facility in fact, I spoke with the
city manager Dave Hansen at the time, and said what about the Law Enforcement
Training Academy? What we're talking about is putting up housing units here for
people to get them off homelessness. I've been stunned to hear this whole fog and
smoke today by all these crime figures and how all of a sudden that's because of the
JCOC. We can burn that place down to the ground tonight and guess what, you're
still gonna have people in the parking lot of Food Lion drinking and you're still
gonna have people roaming around peeking over fences and whatever all these
other things they come up with. Mr. Johnson, the former police officer at second
precinct didn't finish his, he ran out of time in his report when he was the second
precinct, he told me well over 80% of the warrants issued by the second precinct
were delivered to the trailer park, not the JCOC, the trailer park. And people
everything I've heard today and some of it I don't necessarily disagree with,I'm sure
that there are these problems, but nobody I've been listening closely, no one has
said these problems are directly because of the JCOC and we know it because those
people are part of the JCOC to say they come there and get a meal between 5:30
and 6:30 one night and that's the reason for everything that's like me saying, well,
this guy went down to the Dairy Queen other night and got a milkshake went out
to the boardwalk stabbed somebody, let's go take it over Richard Maddox. It's not
Richard Maddox's fault, it's not the Dairy Queen's fault. When people come for a
meal,they leave particularly now they're not staying there. It was brought up. They
have been residing at the HRC since September 2018. So, it's not residents of the
JCOC. That are doing these things. I don't disagree but there are these things going
on. Food Lion sells alcohol, so people are getting there, they're getting alcohol,
they're hanging around and doing whatever. We are here to try and help these
people. I had it drilled in me as a kid, there before the grace of God go I and it's
been gratifying to work here and I've brought in lots of people, my church has
contributed thousands,but to sit there and say, well,this means this crime. There's
one lesson we've learned the last six months in the city. We can't predict when
somebody is going to commit a crime. This is about getting housing units up,
helping people get off homelessness. So, I want us to keep focused on this, this
that we've proposed to you is by putting up individual housing units that will help
people get off homelessness. The kitchen we'll talk about it. We're not opposed to
it. We've met with these people and we've said we would, and they supported our
housing unit and provided we move the kitchen.

Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Lankford: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, hold on. STOPPED HERE 3:36:25
Mr. Ripley: Mr. Maddox mentioned that he recommend that we deny the feeding facility but I
hear people with no objection to the residential building,have y'all looked at a plan
that would allow you to build the residential building and leave your feeding facility
in place? Have you looked at a concept of?
Mr. Lankford: Oh,yes. Keeping the facility that you have right now,but building the new housing
behind it, yes, I mean.
Mr. Ripley: Would that work?
Mr. Lankford: Maybe Todd can address that better, I mean, we've had the plan where it's off the
street.
Mr. Ripley: You have permission to do the feeding facility now.
Mr. Lankford: Right.
Mr. Ripley: Okay. You have a vested interest a vested right to do that. No question about it,
okay. Nobody can take that away from you. If you left it where it was, or it is,but
got permission to build your housing facility would take you to redesign your plan,
that would be something that give you some flexibility.
Mr. Lankford: I mean there's some flexibility there.
Mr. Ripley: Give you time that maybe work out on another location for the feeding,if you found
something satisfactory to you?
Mr. Lankford: Again, I can't speak for the board, but yeah, I mean, we're open to, yeah, trying to
work something out. Important thing then this is something we've been working
on for over three years and we've met over and over and over with the city officials.
I mean, I'm getting birthday cards from Andy Friedman, now we've been seeing
each other so much. And they've been very helpful. Former City Manager Hanson
tried its best to find a something, Ron Williams has worked hard to find something,
and we are open, and have been from day one. But,you know,we've got to get this
going and where the feeding is located is almost a separate issue. But again, we're
not being closed minded about that either. The thing though, we really need to get
this going, and the money and the grants and things that we would be eligible for,
we need certain permits in place to go on for that. But again, we have gone back
to the drawing board several times with suggestions from the city. Can you do this,
32
when we've had the architect draw the plans and all, I mean, we've done this a lot
of ways. And I mean, I'm out of here to say we're closed to anything. There's
nothing chiseled in stone here.
Mr. Ripley: Okay, well, thanks.
Mr. Lankford: Does that answer your question?
Mr. Ripley: It does. And I know I asked you a tough question,because you gonna ask somebody
to redesign what they're doing, it's a tough question to ask from this part here, and
I'm not trying to plan your property. I'm just asking your question,if that would be
another way...
Mr. Lankford: From the very beginning, we've had to change some because I mean,this idea with
the single unit housing and all came up after we started the development plan. So,
I mean, we've got some experience here by shifting gears and shifting direction.
Mr. Ripley: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Question for you. If you could have your preference versus 38 units originally,you
all want to 50, am I correct?No?
Mr. Lankford: No, I think it's 38 with the possibility on 50.
Mr. Tajan: That's correct. So, the existing emergency housing has 50 beds, which is the
number that we translated over.
Mr. Lankford: Yeah, when they were residing there, we were housing a limit of 50.
Ms. Oliver: Is there a room for 50? Should you not? If you didn't, if you could do 50 verses
and relocate the soup kitchen, would that be a possibility?
Mr. Lankford: We could do 50 whether the feeding kitchen is there or not.
Ms. Oliver: But hat would be permanent,because right now it's not permanent housing?
Mr. Lankford: Correct. I mean, what we propose this, yeah, but I mean, what sitting there isn't.
Ms. Oliver: Right, right. Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Lankford: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Barbara Clark, and then Mark Stevens.
Ms. Oliver: Hello.
33
Ms. Clarke: Good afternoon, Chairwoman Oliver and Planning Commission members. My
name is Barbara Clarke and I live on 16th Street at the Oceanfront. Thank you for
this opportunity to speak before you. Well, the folks hearts are in the right place,
the current feeding operation has created very negative conditions which need to
be realistically addressed. This is an evidence by Police Chiefs Severa's letter
regarding in his words the remarkably high number of police hours and resources
dedicated to this one facility and resulting inequity, it causes for the safety and
security of the rest of us who live,work and play in the Oceanfront area. The excuse
of I cannot control what happens outside my property is not adequate. The impacts
of ripple effects on the adjacent properties and nearby neighborhoods need to be
assessed. These impacts will not be allowed from any other operation in the city.
I'm here to support the safety of the residents of the Sea Bridge Square Community
and their ability to protect their properties in the interest of neighborhood vitality
and stability,please do not approve the soup kitchen at this location. We supported
the Housing Resource Center as a one stop shop for homeless services. Please
honor this support. Thank you for your time and kind consideration.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Sandloop:Mark Stevens and then our last speaker Michael Shackleford.
Ms. Oliver: Hello.
Mr. Stevens: Hello, good afternoon. Thank you for taking all this time today. I am Mark
Stevens. I actually own a business on 17th and Cyprus. I opened it up in 2013.
But, I also live on 21 st Street, so I'm very vested in our neighborhood. And I'm
very invested with the homeless. I have had my business there since 2013, right
next to the library and had zero crime. Have I had panhandling? Yes. Have I asked
people to move on? Yes. But, I also run a nonprofit for homeless youth. We feed
youth 24 and under, we feed families, we feed kids. We do it three nights a week.
There was no other services feeding families in our neighborhood except JCOC.
There are families that provide, need that and they live in the hotels at the
Oceanfront during the winter. They have to go somewhere to eat because they can
only afford to pay the hotel bill. Without JCOC doing this, we will have families
starving on our streets. I have a young man I adopted. He was five when he was
taken away. He was taken away because his parents could not feed him. We cannot
let this happen to our citizens. We cannot let this happen to our neighbors. These
are our neighbors just as, these are my neighbors I'm speaking against who I
appreciate and like a lot. But we have people that are starving on our streets and in
this city, we should not have that. And, JCOC is only the one place that they can
go in our neighborhood. We also have only 59 food banks and you say well, that's
a lot. My sister work with the homeless in Richmond, they have over a hundred.
34
People have to eat in our city. It's not cheap to live here. Thank God I can feed my
son and take care of him,but there are families out here who can't. So again, thank
you for your time. I appreciate it.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:Our final speaker Michael Shackleford.
Mr. Shackleford: Good afternoon. My name is Michael Shackleford and from 2012 to 2014, I
worked at JCOC as the Grants Manager. And, I think I have a unique perspective.
In that time, I had dinner almost every night that I worked after work, and I broke
bread with our residents there. We used to have the housing program and I saw a
lot. And, I learned more about homelessness there than I could in any class or
seminar. And what I saw at the feeding program was people of all, you know,
people that are on the margins going there and eating, and that was keeping people
from having to live in our shelter. And, the other aspect of the feeding program it
is really good, is that it helps bring people into get resources, because you have a
lot of people that are homeless, they are on the outside, they want to be alone or
they do not want to be in society,but everybody needs to eat. The feeding program
would bring them in, and then with contact with staff and other folks, then they
would start to seek services, get into our shelter and end their homelessness. And,
one of my proudest moments, and I was working there. Some guy called me up,
you know, so came in the office, I was working on a grant and he said, Hey, you
want to talk to me. He was a veteran. I'm a veteran. And,because of the rapport I
had, we started talking and I was trying to bring him in to get services. So,
everybody talks about the bad behavior that takes place outside of JCOC. But what
happens in the feeding program helps people in their homelessness. That's all I got.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much. Mr. Bourdon? Before maybe, I just would like to have
maybe Mr. Friedman come up,real quick, if you don't mind and just because you're
getting ready to.
Mr. Bourdon: I got a lot of things to say. But I'll wait.
Ms. Oliver: Do you want to say them now?
Mr. Bourdon: Well, it's up to you, I think it might be better and then.
Ms. Oliver: Let's have Andy, if you don't mind.
Mr. Bourdon: I don't mind.
Mr. Horsley: Madam Chair.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
35
Mr. Horsley: At some point, I'd like to ask Mr. Johnson, who's that second precinct person? If
he's still here, come back and finish, what he didn't get to say. I think he is
important source of input.
Ms. Oliver: Well come on Andy,yeah. We all know who you are,but for the sake of the record.
Mr. Friedman:Andy Friedman, Director of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. And I just want to appreciate, as I said earlier, you and Karen and
Ruthie Hill and all that you all done for the Housing Resource Center and just for
the sake of the people watching and for the people in the audience, I would, you
know, appreciate it if you could just speak on the Housing Resource Center,how it
works, how successful it's been, and how it works in conjunction with the JCOC at
this time, if you don't mind just a little bit and then I've got a couple, some follow
up questions for you, if you don't mind.
Mr. Friedman:Thank you. So the Housing Resource Center was the result of a several year
community process to identify how the City could and the community together
could take the next steps and really enhance how we address homelessness,.
addressing homelessness means making, taking people from homelessness into
housing, it's really not about helping people survive homelessness,but rather to get
them out of homelessness into housing. The center evolved into becoming a one
stop shop where we can help people who may about to become homeless to avoid
that, where we can shelter people overnight, where we can actually house people
on long term housing, and where we can continue the work of the lighthouse center
which provided a place for people who are still homeless on the street to get
showers, do laundry and connect to services. We also have health services on site.
We have social services on site. So, it's all of those things in one place, which
removes a lot of obstacles for people who are homeless. The Housing Resource
Center is not going to and has not eliminated homelessness in Virginia Beach.
There are multiple myriad causes of homelessness. What the center does is really
steps up our ability and the number of people we can serve, getting them out of
homelessness. There are also, it's also important to know that in any group of
people, there are those who desire to move forward. Those who may desire to but
don't know how to and then there have been as always, there are people who are
homeless by choice and may remain that for a long time until they finally reach a
point where they want to get out of homelessness. Our job is to offer the best
possible magnet of services and housing to them. We do outreach as well. We
have an outreach team that's been established for five years, travels all around the
city, interacts with people from the boardwalk already, all the way to Norfolk Line
and seeks to bring people into housing. In the first 11 months that we were there,
501 people who previously were homeless became housed as a result of the work
36
of the city and its nonprofit partners who operate the services at the Housing
Resource Center, and an additional 203 people who might have become homeless
were prevented from becoming homeless, from through assistance and redirection
of their issue,possibly to family,possibly through paying last month's rent or things
like that. JCOC is a partner in the overall city community partnership to address
homelessness. They are a provider of services at the Housing Resource Center,
they operate day services and they operate the single shelter, which they started
when they ended their shelter at 17th Street. JCOC also as our operator of the
emergency winter shelter program, which has been a community program for over
35 years that provides through many of your churches, overnight shelter to people
who are not currently housed or sheltered, so we as the City coordinated large
community system of nonprofits, faith organizations, other government agencies,
to do all this to address homelessness.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Does anybody have any questions for Mr. Friedman?
Mr. Alcaraz: I do, in the informal. I'd ask the question about, I guess,redirecting for the feeding
program and you had mentioned that the lighthouse, I guess, discontinued 2018.
Mr. Friedman:Yes sir.
Mr. Alcaraz: So those that went to the lighthouse for showers, laundry and services,how do they
get to the Resource Center?
Mr. Friedman:Right. So, our initial, when we were planning the center, we said that we wanted
to make it a magnet, and that we would do everything we needed to get people
there. We have found that people can get there when they need to. We also
continue our outreach team so that when people are found, and they want to come
to the center, our outreach team has the ability to transport them there. We live in
a country where anyone can travel wherever they want to at any time. And, so;
they have that opportunity to come to the center. We hope we continue to make it
as attractive as possible for those who want to get out of homelessness,and then we
provide the direct transportation whenever we encounter people who need that help.
Mr. Alcaraz: But again, the feeding program did not work, correct? The transportation to the
Resource Center, the central location for this service did not work and they just
stayed at the beach, is that what I'm hearing?
Mr. Friedman:I'm not sure your question about feeding.
Mr. Wall: Transportation for the dining hall.
37
Mr. Friedman: So, we have never had a, we do not have a dining hall at the Housing Resource
Center. We only feed people who are actually receiving housing or shelter or
participating in day services there.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, I thought there was a breakfast, lunch and dinner program there available.
Mr. Friedman:Only if you are part of services at the center, so you can't just walk in and get a
meal.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: You could participate in the program. I had a question and I just lost it. Anybody
else have questions for Andy? Yes Ron.
Mr. Ripley: The concept of deferring, giving you time to work out possible, another location
for the feeding facility is that something that you think can be worked out in a
reasonable period of time, and I guess you need to find a reasonable period of time
as city time sometime that's real long. You have any sense of that?
Mr. Friedman: So I would just refer back to deputy City Manager William's remarks that he is
working to address the issue of the Law Enforcement Training Academy and in
addition, we are working to with sites that have been identified as other potential
sites that could be offered to JCOC and reduce them, review and vetting of those
sites. But I really couldn't offer a recommendation about how much time that would
take or whether a deferral is appropriate or not. I just say that our assignment is to
do that work to find those alternatives.
Ms. Oliver: And, I have a question for you Andy,just statistics reasons in the City because I
know you all just such an outreach and you really do basically have a head count
fairly close on our homeless, what's the percentage of people would you guess that
are reaching out for the resources that the City provides? And, the people that
decide that they don't want the help, but they just want to stay on the streets?
Mr. Friedman: So, I don't really have a number like that. Sometime, it's really more a matter of
time and effort that additional effort and additional time when people realize there's
a barrier that they really can't overcome,but I couldn't characterize that.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, all right.
Mr. Inman: I have a question. Andy since you've been working over a period of years to look
at for a different site, what do you think would two years be a reasonable time to
make a condition that they had to move the dining hall within a two year period?
Mr. Friedman: So probably, I'm not going to comment on a policy decision that the Commission
has to make. I would just say that...
38
Mr. Inman: I am just asking for a realistic expectation, is that a realistic expectation?
Mr. Friedman:I guess, again, I'm going to refer back to what deputy city manager William said is
that a few months to get a decision yes or no on that and training academy and
somewhat longer than that because the other sites have other challenges to
overcome, two years is probably I would say that we would hope to do it in less
time than that,but we have to go through the various steps necessary.
Mr. Inman: Okay, thanks.
Mr. Ripley: I have one more question.
Mr. Friedman:Yes sir.
Mr. Ripley: And looking at this site plan, and I asked this question a little earlier, I mean it
seriously and could this property be developed really in two phases, you know,
maintain the needed feeding facility in its present form and build the single room
occupancy adjacent to it, and then later tear down the once you've satisfied how are
you going to, how you can or cannot satisfy the feeding facility, maybe stages so
that condition will allow them to build it two years from now if you weren't able to
locate a satisfactory facility, it would give people time to get into the marketplace
and find a location to relocate that and then you would have more property to build,
actually more single room occupancy or whatever other needs the nonprofit ends
with, does that seem like a practical thing to you or not?
Mr. Friedman: So it's really a development question, I'd have to defer to JCOC.
Mr. Ripley: I know that, I know you need to be more careful when you answer it I am sure, I
get it, but to me, I'll say in an outlet looking at it almost even looks like it might
have been designed that way, the way it acts is like the little connector between the
single room occupancy and the other building that houses the feeding facility and
houses with like three administrative offices, perhaps obvious storage, so what is
it? I mean, there's got to be a plan that would help them move forward to meet the
needs of the community other than just all or nothing, if it's such an objection to the
feeding facility at this point, if there's an opportunity to resolve that there's a
possible win-win there, I would think.
Mr. Friedman:Yeah,and I wouldn't,it really seems to me to be something that has to be re-planned
to see if that's possible and I don't have that information. I really don't.
Mr. Inman: You also need to bear in mind that even if they move the dining facility for walk-
ins away to your residence there that will need a dining facility, so like they do at
the Housing Resource Center. If you reside there, you eat there, right. So that
39
would be the same thing would probably apply here so you got 35 residents to live
there would still be needed dining. Sure.
Mr. Alcaraz: I got one more question, sorry.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Alcaraz: Andy, couple of comments were made about the condition of the dining hall, is
your office, I know does code inspections. Do you have any records of anything or
do you notice anything wrong over there that you're concerned?
Mr. Friedman:Yes sir. We did a inspection our code enforcement division inspected the properties
and outside of the condemned building,we did not find them to be,we found minor
exterior deficiencies that we've issued notices to be corrected. But there is nothing
unsafe or unsanitary that, you know, as far as the code, you know, the property
maintenance code that we enforce, there's nothing that would cause it to be a
concern that can't be addressed by the minor repairs that we've given notices for.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Friedman:Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much, Andy.
Mr. Inman: I'd like you to tell us what else you had to say before your time.
Mr. Johnson: Thank you. I got down to the point where we know homelessness is an issue at the
second precinct, it is all over the city but certainly at the second precinct,but in my
estimation, the two hats that I wore over the period of time that I was down there,
the JCOC does way more to help and it does hurt to suggest that some of the people
that are hanging out at the shopping center or at the gas station down in front of Sea
Breeze to suggest that none of those were at JCOC would be disingenuous. Some
of them certainly were,but having worked down there and been responsible for all
the crime data in that area, there's a lot of crime that happens in Friendship Village.
There's a lot of crime that happens in Atlantis apartments. There's a lot of crime
that happens in Colony Trailer Park. I became a police officer in 1980. I wrote
search warrants in all three of those neighborhoods when I was a patrolman, Chief
Cervera actually was the SWAT commander that executes of search warrants for
me, some of them in the late 80s, right around the time JCOC was opening. So
again, to suggest that the JCOC is the cause of that is simply wrong. There are
issues with it, and I would not say here and say otherwise,but it does far more good
than bad. I just anecdotally tell you in 2014 David Kilgore was shot and killed in
40
armed robbery at Beach Pharmacy and I was sitting in the precinct when it
happened. They put out a description. I got out,went into my police car and drove
three minutes and drove right to the killer. He wasn't at JCOC, he was at Colony
Trailer Park, and he was at a trailer that we all knew was a place that distributed
drugs in there. I've done 10 search warrants in that place over the years for drugs
search warrants in Colony Trailer Park. How many the departments done is I have
no roughly idea. And again with the other neighborhoods that are around there
that's a crime problem. And again,when I refer to the meetings that we would have,
and you better believe the Colony Trailer Park came up in those comstat meetings
almost every month, Atlantis and friendship got to where they didn't have to bring
them up, they just automatically kind of self reported because of the problems in
there. And that's been going on for close to 40 years and so when I read some of
the stuff that came out that confirmation bias,you can sit down and type things into
a computer and get stats out and if you're inclined to believe that that's a problem
there, then you can make those stats say that. And if you're inclined to believe that
it's not a problem, you can make them say that too. I know this; I was one of the
people that pulled those stats when I was doing this comstat for the department and
I guarantee you if I sit down and typed in the information, say incorrectly to try to
get the desired outcome, I promise you that the business at the Ocean Front that
would come across as the most dangerous and crime ridden would be the Dairy
Queen at 17th in Atlantic and everybody knows that's ridiculous. But when you
type in an address or you type in a block, anything that happens in that block is
going to come up and then I can hit print and hand it to you and then you can look
at and go, Oh my gosh, there's 400 calls in Dairy Queen, there's not 400 calls at
Dairy Queen, there might not be four calls at Dairy Queen,but you can make it say
that. And I'm not saying that anybody's intentionally trying to lead you one way or
the other. I'm just saying that the numbers are there. It's pretty easy to explain most
of those numbers of way.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: Let me start with Mark De Roche made a statement that in essence his belief is that
the dining hall was incompatible with the support center because the dining hall
causes crime, that's the logical progression of what he said. Now, Jay and I also
heard about the fact that, you know, JCOC doesn't give people a blood test or a
breathalyzer before they come in to eat. Neither do any of the restaurants,bars and
other establishments rest in any of the commercial up and down 17th Street. JCOC
doesn't serve alcohol on his property, doesn't provide drugs and get called police
and get anybody out there who has drugs in a heartbeat. So we're blamed for people
drinking and taking drugs before they come. We don't serve alcohol. We get
blamed for alcohol that people are consuming that they went down the street and
41
bought, but that's the JCOC problem. Now I'm not here to say that everything that
y'all heard today was baloney or wrong and we do as a community need to work
together to try to get a handle on issues that exists and Chief Cervera's various
security process is something that happy to participate in. But chief Cervera was
also right about something else. There's a perception but perception doesn't match
reality, to suggest that the JCOC which had 66 calls for service, visits from the
police is a better way to put it. And I'll go over that in just a second. There's no
anything to speak of, and I'll get to it but that's the problem when what was
happening elsewhere in the block there were a lot more serious issues. And to
suggest that when the Colony Trailer Park has six times the amount of police visits
for all kinds of bad acting and bad problems, we left out the Murphy Trailer Park,
which also has a huge number that hadn't been addressed yet, as well as what
Johnson just was talking about, this is a problem that exists there that says societal
issue problem issue, but the one party that's not causing a problem is the JCOC,
now could things,you know,better security better issues,you know,better working
with the parties around us, at certainly can be, you know, enhance the center to our
east, I've lived here my whole life. There have been people loitering in that parking
lot to get picked up to go to work in the morning dropped off in the afternoon, since
as long as I can remember and when I first got out of law school live on Norfolk
Avenue in the Lands End Apartments and was up and down there all of the time,
same was true for the old 711 on the corner, and that's because of there is a need in
that area. Drew Langford passed out an article in today's paper about the study that
the food bank did of the food insecurity in Virginia Beach's over 44,000 people
who are at risk, because they don't have food, it's a really good article. So Tom, I
mean,God bless them,you know,one thing we do agree on,he thinks that this SRO
is a good thing, but he wants to see the, but the thing he's told Civic Leagues that
we have 12, he said there are 1200 calls in three years to the site. It's just not
accurate, not true, not even close to being true. Also, Morris and he both said that,
Morris told many civic league means that people get bust from HRC to JCOC for
dinner completely and utterly false,not doesn't happen,hasn't happened,you know,
so that's not accurate. And there are other inaccuracies,but JCOC wants to provide
shelter, and also the service that is absolutely, absolutely needed in this area,which
is to keep people from becoming homeless. And the gentleman on the board who
I think he was responding,Whitney to the issue because he followed Ms. De Roche
about somehow blaming the dining facility on crime, that's where his focus was.
But our focus,the focus of the group overall is to provide shelter,and to keep people
from becoming homeless as Andy and others have said. So, JCOC is absolutely
willing, if it weren't for the complications I described it originally to work to move
and over to the leader. But we've also spent four years trying to, and we, JCOC
brought that to the city over two years ago and we're told no so that's something
42
that they're more than willing to do, because that'll put 50 SROs there, which will
provide even more people who can potentially work in the restaurants and the other
places, the Ocean Front, they need them, but those restaurants, a lot of them serve
alcohol. Okay, so blaming the JCOC for people, who have alcohol dependency
problems, when we don't allow it, don't serve it, etc, etc. They have to go to
somebody else's property to get it and the people in the other property are blaming
JCOC,because they're the tenants who are selling alcohol,not JCOC or giving them
alcohol, which we don't give and we don't have. So it's really, that's kind of
disheartening,but I think 99%of the people in this room if we all sit here today and
say, you know, move the food pantry and service to Lita and do 50 SROs, but the
reality of that is,we hope it can happen. But we all know because the lease expires
in five months, that we have no idea whether that will ever be able to happen. And
we need to move forward with changing because JCOC can decide, okay, we can
spend the money, we have money additional money, we can fix everything up that
we have and keep right on operating just the way we've been operating with a
shelter there. There's a need the shelters full HRC, but we think and we wanna
work with the city, have worked and will continue to work with the city to try to
get the best infrastructure, the best system to better serve this community and
unfortunately, as I said before, we wish you would all go away but if we can just
keep it from, if we can keep it the same as it was 30 years ago, which is what
essentially is where JCOC is, then we're still not falling behind, but this is an
excellent application and you have Excellent people that are running the JCOC,
who have worked diligently for four years, and will continue to work obviously
with the city and with the City Council and if there's any way that lead a situation
can be resolved, and we can move the food service there, you know, we have
committed that we would be more than willing to do so. And the SROs would be
50 instead of 38 and that can all be done by city council doesn't have to come back
to you all to do that, does not have to come back here to do that. And they're the
ones that have to make this happen, none of us can make it happen. I mean, I can
go into a lot of other things, but the simple truth of the matter is, is that until those
Trailer Parks are redeveloped, and God only knows how long that's going to take.
Until that happens, these problems that exists there are going to continue to exist
there, because the problem isn't emanating from a facility that doesn't serve our
alcohol, or allow alcohol, drugs, etc. You know, things maybe security be better
and more coordinated absolutely, yeah and this new building and new investment
with the cameras and everything that we're going to be doing there will make it
better. And that doesn't mean it can't be made better before then either, but the
JCOC I think everyone has heard all they can, I don't know what else you can hear.
They are a wonderful part of the city. They are running the shelter, but they don't
serve foods at Witch Duck Road other than if you're in there, and there's a need and
43
that need and it's just acute. It's acute where we are here,you know, so I'd be happy
to answer any questions. But it is a good application; it's not anything as being
rapidly rammed down anybody's throat. It's not something that's coming in here at
the 11 th hour after four years to try to, you know, to do something that nobody
knows anything about, you know.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Redmond:Mr. Bourdon, I understand that you're representing this organization pro bono?
Mr. Bourdon: That's correct.
Mr. Redmond:Okay. Lawyers get a bad rep sometimes, you're easy to make fun of somethimes.
Mr. Bourdon: I relish being made fun of, rather than being called names.
Mr. Redmond:Being all that as it may, I want you to know that I appreciate you are doing that and
I wish others would follow your example of providing their time, which does not,
you know, come without cost for causes that they believe in. So thank you.
Mr. Bourdon: You're welcome. But these folks do more than I could ever even imagine doing.
Ms. Oliver: You have a question?
Mr. Graham: It's more I wanted to initiate, Ron continue the dialogue about a timeframe.
Ms. Oliver: Is this for Mr. Bourdon?
Mr. Graham: For Ron and Mr. Bourdon.
Ms. Oliver: All right.
Mr. Ripley: I guess the concept thinking out loud,would be to approve the application,but delay
the approval of the dining facility for a period of time, which would allow your
time to investigate and find a facility that's mutually agreeable to nonprofit in the
city, something along those lines so.
Mr. Bourdon: It's all one package at this point to we have somewhere to move it so there's no.
Mr. Ripley: Well, you don't have to accept it. We could make the recommendation, right.
Mr. Inman: Let me offer what I was thinking and see if it's the same thing. I don't know, I was
saying approve it, conditioned the application, conditioned on securing another site
for the dining facility within two years. [Crosstalk]
Mr. Ripley: I don't want to take away their rights. We're really having a discussion.
44
Ms. Oliver: Yeah, we might have to close this. So thank you very much.
Mr. Weiner: If this gets approved, the fundings way off. I mean it could be two years before the
first shovel goes in the ground and even just item 12, that's SRO, correct. That's
our facility. I mean, what's the timeframe?
Mr. Bourdon: Yeah, we've been trying to get to this point for four years. The simple reality is, is
that we're going to have to reopen the shelter, that's gonna be the reality very soon,
okay?
Mr. Weiner: Any idea,just throw it out there timeframe year?
Mr. Bourdon: Once we have an approved plan, then we can I think it might, my client think it'll
be very quickly able to raise the funds, it's just getting to the point where we have
an approved plan. But your two year timeframe to break ground I would not suggest
is inaccurate,it may be that long but that's, you know,that we've already been four,
and more delay is that clock never get started?
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Wall: So you find that recommended group home conditions as the written acceptable?
Mr. Bourdon: Well,we have concerns about the two year condition absolutely;we also have faith
in working with the city and the vision for system city wide that has a chance to
work. Okay, and there is nothing perfect and anything that we're doing today,
there's no perfection here. And there's no ability to find perfection. But you're
really the people that were with JCOC are people who are of the highest character
and quality and are trying to do, you know, something good for the city and the
some of that, it was better today than I expected to be, I'll just leave it at that. You
know, I appreciate the tone was not, some of the things that are in emails and other
things that we have seen over the course of the last number of months, so I'll try to
leave on a positive note.
Mr. Alcaraz: Eddie in the informal that chief had mentioned supporting, like crafting security
and safety plan, can we change that to an extensive security and safety plan?
Mr. Bourdon: We have no issue with that. Todd asked the previous police chief and said we're
more than willing to that. We're also more than willing to. I mean, my memories,
I'm getting old. I don't think we even asked for 9 o'clock down the floors for dinner.
So, you know,we don't have any issue and I've said that I've said that to Morris and
Mr. De Roche and others,you want to,you know,put that 8 o'clock. So,you know,
everybody's clearly done, but at 7:30 most of the time, is it. No, no, you've raised
the point. You raised a very good point and it's something we had discussed
previously, and we don't have any issue with that. I mean, basically is from, you
45
know, 5:30 to 7:30, you know, as way it works, the services at six but some people
get there at, you know, a little early and that's why we're moving into the back.
Ms. Oliver: I got a question.
Mr. Bourdon: Sure.
Mr. Alcaraz: I'd just like to follow up with that. I got a lot of calls Eddie so and the opposition
was about safety, so most of the comments I got that your clients not cooperating
with the neighbors so can it be a co-produced safety plan?
Mr. Bourdon: Absolutely. I mean, there's no reason other than being defensive because of being
accused wrongly, of being the cause of crime. That's what causes some of the folks
who've been doing this a long time to rightfully feel a little indignant. They aren't
causing any crime. They're not causing drug addiction, they're not causing
alcoholism, and you know, that in any way, shape or form. You know, it's the
people who have the weakness and the problem; we have to try to help them,
feeding them does not do anything to hurt them. And if they're not fed,then they're
more likely to commit a crime to get the alcohol or the drugs or the food. To stand
up here and suggest that JCOC is the cause of crime in that area is perception and
not reality. It is perception and not reality.
Mr. Inman: Deal with the perception, okay, and meet with the neighbor.
Mr. Bourdon: I agree. I've already said that. We are more than, the chief and his folks and you
know we can obviously get together and try to work on and the statement that was
made about that the one lady made about when they brought the tower, that's 100%
correct, 100%correct. All it took was for that tower to be up over there and all the,
you know, vermin scattered away in front of Dollar General, you know, and what
have you and the 253 calls apparently at Food Lion for that shopping center and I'm
going to 385 at Colony Park and we had 66 for basically I mean I didn't get through
all that but you can all look at the list, there's nothing there. We have all these
women, children, young children, girl scouts boy scouts serving every night, and
they don't have any issues. There's no fear, there's no crime. It isn't JCOC; it's
folks with issues that some have shelter, no two ways about it, not those who don't
have shelter,you know,the officer Johnson told you what happened with colleague
and I'll extend up here and bad mouth anybody's property but it's just wrong to
suggest that the feeding at JCOC is a crime causing land use. There's no one like
that, I think back that up anyway. But we'll be happy to work on a security, you
know, system with the chief and with anybody in the police department, no reason
at all, we wouldn't want to do that. We all benefited the area, rises up.
46
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Bourdon I have a question about the JCOC specifically, and it was one I meant
to ask probably at 3:30, but I didn't get there. The JCOC understands it does, the
Soup Kitchen. It does dining facility.
Mr. Bourdon: I know it took me three weeks to stop saying that. I apologize for interrupting you.
Ms. Oliver: But is there a true food pantry in the JCOC where people actually go and get
groceries to take back to their house to prepare food, is there?
Mr. Bourdon: It also in the package.
Ms. Oliver: It gets a little muddy in the application and so I wanted to know that specifically.
So there is besides just people,families or individuals coming in to get a meal. Now
when they eat the meal, you know what, let me ask something, Todd, do you mind
coming up here real quick for me, please? I just want to specifically ask you
something.
Mr. Bourdon: You also have. You have, it's even highlighted, yes, I know, I killed a couple of
trees. But yes, you have a real breakdown of all of the different [Crosstalk]
[04:24:57].
Ms. Oliver: I didn't remember where that piece of paper. Did you just give it to me today?
Mr. Todd: So the answer that real quickly,we do it three days a week, Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. People from the community come in to the food pantry to get groceries
and then we also do food boxes Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, separate
program.
Ms. Oliver: I have seen that, okay and your dining hall.
Mr. Todd: Here is the dining hall at 5 o'clock the doors open,okay. When I first got the JCOC,
we would have a line outside because we didn't open the doors until about 5:55. It
was actually one of the first conversations Andy and I had about addressing that. I
made the change to open the door at 5 o'clock, 5 o'clock. Everybody can come in.
We have security there. Everybody come in, dinner serve at 6. Usually finished
around 6:30, clean up can take to 7-7:30, sometimes 8 depends on what served,
doors are locked. And then we finished.
Ms. Oliver: Is besides them eating in the dining room, do they have hot meals? Do you provide
hot meals that they walk in and take out and eat somewhere else?
Mr. Todd: Absolutely not.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
47
Mr. Todd: And I want to make some good because I've been sitting, when people leave, no we
don't follow them to see if they go the Food Lion or going there, but our security
person does come outside and go to the front to make sure there's been a couple of
planning commissioners have witnessed it themselves because they've came to the
meal recently and make sure that we get people off for properties. I have reached
out too because I didn't know who owned the shopping center. I did go to Dollar
General on several occasions and spoke to the manager to find out who owned it,
who managed it, she did put me in contact with somebody I said, let's try to work
together. Whoever the guy was, I guess it wasn't, the person that spoke today,but
he said he owned the towing company and he had a brother that own the land. So
I don't know. So he and I talked, I try to come up with a resolution of where we
could work together. He didn't want to do it. I'm all for collaboration, that's what
makes things work. Everything in our program is collaboration. We do a food
pantry; we have people come in from the community to help us do that. We do a
dinner;people come in to help us do that. We collaborate with the City of Virginia
Beach to provide emergency shelter,day support services want a shelter,everything
we do is collaboration. So we're not going to sit up here and say we don't want to
work with anybody, that hasn't been our history.
Ms. Oliver: All right. Thank you very much.
Mr. Todd: All right. Any other questions? I'm ready.
Ms. Oliver: We are good. Thank you very, very much. Appreciate it. I'm think we'll close the
hearing now. We will close the hearing now and open it up to the commissioners
for discussion.
Mr. Alcaraz: May I ask our planning director a question?
Ms. Oliver: You certainly can.
Mr. Alcaraz: All right, Bobby, can you tell me where we are right now with the existing use
permit for the dining hall? Where is it? What conditions are, what's the time limit
if any, can you just give us real quick?
Mr. Tajan: So the existing conditional use permit addresses the existing buildings on the
property and allows them to perform the eating program in the dining hall with no
limitation. So it was a modification of a, one or two modifications of a conditional
use permit. So it's been a long standing, original conditional use permit dealt with
the emergency housing that they provided, and then it was modified to allow for
the feeding and dining facility.
48
Mr. Alcaraz: So there have been a lot of improvements across the street, lot of planning for big
projects across the street. We've had use permit in front of council 89, 92, 93, 95,
2000 and it's never been brought up to either relocate it? Or would you know that?
Mr. Tajan: Well as any had mentioned and Deputy city manager Williams note there have been
previous discussions, and I believe Mr. Bourdon has also discussed it about
potential other locations for some of this. I'm not saying that that has not happened,
but as you can tell, there hasn't been enough to push it over the line.
Mr. Alcaraz: So four years they've been working and they're still not to a place where they can
relocate?
Mr. Tajan: To be honest, I believe they've been working prior to the four years as well.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Graham: Dee I have a question. So the new CUP for the group home, for the dining hall,
that will be reevaluated at two years from the date of CO?
Mr. Tajan: Correct, yes sir.
Mr. Graham: And is that a point where if there's still issues that can be revoked.
Mr. Tajan: So it has a sunset on it, which means it would automatically go away in two years
and they would have to reapply for it. The key is for that is to provide us with the
opportunity to provide baseline data for right now and baseline for the future for in
the public hearing for the bodies to make their decision on whether they have
maintained or have not maintained what they were promised.
Mr. Graham: So it's sundown, I mean, so automatic two years from CO, they've got to reapply
for CUP.
Mr. Tajan: That is how the condition is written.
Mr. Horsley: Conditional use permit for the group home shall expire two years from the date of
certificate of occupancy.
Ms. Oliver: The group home or the?
Mr. Tajan: It does not include this; it is not for the single room occupancy which is the really
multifamily use. It is for the modification of the conditional use permit which is
the one that provides them the opportunity to do the dining facility that's opened.
Mr. Tajan: The dining facility is covered under that existing.
49
Mr. Graham: Under the group home CUP, got it.
Ms. Oliver: But they don't, but they would not lose the CUP for the group home?
Mr. Tajan: That is correct, that is a separate conditional use permit for the single room
occupancy multifamily use.
Ms. Oliver: Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.
Mr. Redmond:Unless you want to take some time to read it.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:I think we're getting way too wrapped up in what is probably a simpler application
than yours. They have the right to provide the dining services that they provide
today and listening to these people, I cannot envision a scenario no matter what we
conjure up, wherein they will give that up. They have every right to serve this
population today. I've heard a ton of commitment from these folks out here that
they're going to continue to provide that fundamental element to this most needy of
the populations. And the idea that they were going to get in a position where they
lose that right I think is inconceivable. As Mr. Lankford said, what they're trying
to do is add the single room occupancy use, this notion somehow that this
organization is going to be boxed in to not providing that which they do today, it's
fantasy. Now, city council can revoke that conditional use permit that day ain't
ever come,that day ain't ever come,and so can they add the single room occupancy
or can they not? That's just as simple as this is; they have facilities today, that is in
disrepair. So they have to have a new facility and as part of that new facility,they're
going to have greater facility, they're going to have greater security, it set farther
back from the road and there are a number of different things in their walls in the
like that frankly allow greater segmentation of this property and the uses that exist
upon it today, then occur right now. So this idea that well, if we build in a delayed
and we can bla, bla, bla all this, I mean, I just don't see how that makes any sense.
Because if they don't have the ability to improve what they do,they're going to keep
doing what they do the way it exists today. I have no doubt that that is an
improvement based on what they do today,but they're just not going to walk away
from the population that they serve. They're not going to be boxed into them. Now
with regard to some of these other issues, Mr. Bourdon and some others are
absolutely right. I think they've been unfairly picked on the notion that somehow
they're causing all these problems in that, there's a 37 acre trailer park and it ain't
the prettiest trailer park I've ever been in, that's where most of the problems in this
quarter coming from. So that's just reality, with regard to the development in this
quarter,we are today building the sports facility have already built a big convention
facility. There are improvements going on, redevelopment going on within this
50
neck of the woods all the time. Today with this facility in its current state of
disrepair already in place, the idea that this is a barrier somehow is flatly
contradicted by facts on the ground. There is a facility under construction across
the street and there's a lot of momentum in that district. We have whole staff people
dedicated to energizing the ViBe district. So, I mean, the idea that we're going to
hold them up in terms of the planning necessary to add the SRO element and hope
somehow that they'll fall on their sword for this dining hall element, I think is just
fantasy land. Admirably, they have expressed I don't know how many times here
today,their willingness to look at relocating that facility because it makes sense for
their purposes, because they can get more rooms in there as a SRO facility, but
they're not going to give up those uses. So a delay does nothing,Mr. Friedman said
earlier, those conversations are going to continue no matter what we do, no matter
what the city council does,they're still going to have those conversations and that's
a good thing. The idea that they should stop their fundraising for these things is
just;it just doesn't make any sense to me. So we've gotten all of these various things
about all these populations and it really is a simpler thing to me, they will keep
doing the feeding program,there's too much in need,and there's whatever 75 people
there and they're not walking away from that, so it seems to me this makes a lot of
sense, improving the facility and recognizing that that program is going to be there
in one way, shape or form unless it's possible to move it someplace else. And
they're open to that if it can be done because it suits our purposes. So it seems to
me our job is to pass judgment on this application. You know, I mean, it's going to
be an easy vote, but you ought to pass judgment on this application because 95%
of policy of all this stuff is in city council's lab but was when we got here, and it's
still going to be that way and they're not sorted out. So I think we just have to pass
judgment on this application one way or another based on what we've heard over
the course of the last several months. So that strikes me as the most responsible
thing to do. Thanks. Sorry to be so long.
Ms. Oliver: Yeah, Ron.
Mr. Ripley: Yeah, I think the application got to be approved too but I think that I do think that
the sequencing of construction of the dining facility I think, from the way I see it, I
would eventually guess that, you said, that is that they're not going to give up, they
gotta have the dining facility, cannot do without that. So that, so dining facility is
probably going to sit out there while the SRO is under construction to finish, torn
down and then build the, I would think it would be building both at the same time
that they would tear down if we keep the dining facility in place, build the facility
behind it and tear down the dining facility. It's got to have that dining facility, can't
miss on that.
Mr. Redmond:That's right, and they're not gonna miss it.
51
Mr. Ripley: So if we satisfy the community better and you can work something out and told the
development of the actual new dining facility in the back, go ahead and build the
SRO, hold it or told them the modification of the conditional use permit for that
part of the application for a period of time, two years. Then we give you
opportunity to work through, hopefully some sort of satisfactory arrangement
within the community to hopefully relocate. If not, you built the facility. We give
everybody time to work through it.
Mr. Redmond:And why don't they have time to work through it today? They're working through
it to the greatest extent possible. They're meeting today, they're pursuing sites, I
don't understand how we provide time in any way,times marching on trust me man,
and I had hair one day. But, the idea that I mean, Mr. Friedman is having these
meetings with the JCOC, with the Lita, with the Lita from all of the interested
parties,he's pacing, so he's gonna have something to say,but I don't know how that
drives them any more time than what they're doing already today. If it's possible,
it's in their interest to do it. It's not possible, it's not possible. So I just don't, I just
don't understand how that should be done. Mr. Bourdon,you are pacing and I want
to invite you to come up and because we're all just, we're speculating on stuff that.
Ms. Oliver: Let me ask one question, please with the planning director. This is a two-part
application, am I correct?
Mr. Tajan: That's correct.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, I just want to make sure that we're all paying attention to that while we're
sitting up here. That it is two parts, two votes.
Ms. Wilson: Unless if you demand the question, right now, it's one vote.
Ms. Oliver: Items number 12 and 13.
Ms. Wilson: But you have to divide the question, we haven't divided it.
Ms. Oliver: We haven't gotten there yet.
Ms. Wilson: We have been here for long time.
Ms. Oliver: I know, I just want to kind of remind everybody that. Yes sir.
Mr. Bourdon: I'm not gonna get involved in any of that. I just want the way to understand. You're
correct in part I'm not sure I follow all the logic, but what will happen is the dining
solely will remain while the new building is being built, but that includes the new
dining facilities.
Mr. Redmond:I understand.
52
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Graham, I know you have something to say.
Mr. Graham: I will say that I think there were a lot of residents and owners,landowners that came
out today and, you know, they live there; they deal with this every day and I do
think they need to be recognized for what they're dealing with, they're the property
owners next door with the shopping center. So with that being said, it does bring
some comfort that the dining hall, it expires in two years from CO, they've got to
be on, you know, things got to work out for the dining hall, as well as you know,
hopefully finding another site. And right now, under the current CUP that dining
hall will continue to be there in the perpetuity. And, you know,if the ultimate goal
here is to see the dining hall somewhere else, I think we have to approve it.
Mr. Inman: This JCOC is a shining star and a continuum of care in this community. The
overwhelming support it's received over the years that is evident today by a myriad
of organizations throughout the city and so impressive. I think we all here know
it's essential to provide for the citizens that are getting the services, we need that in
a city, we need more than we've got and so we need to help make this happen, but
we need to recognize as Whitney said, the concerns of property owners that are
adjacent, I think we've heard a commitment from Eddie I think from Todd that
there's going to be a collaborative effort with the neighboring property owners to
address the security and the safety and I would even add like the decorum to the
extent as possible. That has caused them to be concerned and be here today and
this brand new facility will be such an improvement to the quarter that I don't think
it will detract from other development and leaving it like it is, I think, might, but
with the improvement that they're proposing, it's a very fine looking facility
architecturally I think. I think it's not going to be a detraction from property
ownership. What will be is if the, if there is bad conduct emanating in any way
from this facility,we can deal with that and it's not then as Whitney pointed out that
permit for that dining halls is going to be gone. But I don't see why it can't be dealt
successfully.
Ms. Oliver: David.
Mr. Weiner: I came in here today thinking one thing and now I am completely changed a little
bit. But I do feel like the JCOC is getting a bad rep. There's a lot of crime around
there and even if the Trailer Park is redeveloped, it's not going to take away from
crime from everywhere else around that as being said. As Mike said, I believe how
the JCOC has been rebuilt and the elevations of it looks really good and it's gonna
fall in line with the way that the corridor is going to be looking. So I mean, it's
going to look a lot better in the shopping center. I just don't feel like they're getting
a, they're not getting a good rep here, but Mr. Ripley said something a name form
about we could add maybe the safety and security plan to the conditions and that
53
would be possible and the 8 o'clock change time, but know that I like to two years
of the soup kitchen, and that's I'm willing to support it.
Ms. Oliver: Yes Jack.
Mr. Wall: I think that there are certainly you know, societal social issues with homelessness,
you know, probably felt by those that are in a close proximity to it. But the dining
facilities they currently are continue into perpetuity,you know, so the facilities that
proposed are certainly betterments to the property, to the community that are
proposed. I mean, I'm actually a little concerned about condition number two on
the group home conditions that there's now going to be a two year expiration on the
conditional use permit but...
Ms. Oliver: Not on the group home.
Mr. Wall: No, on the group home, that's what it says, not on the SROs. So I support you
know,both the SRO and the group home application.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else.
Mr. Horsley: I support the SRO also and a group home and I look at these numbers in the dining
facility, I mean, if you don't serve me or to the people staying in these rooms,that's
over half of the number that normally dine in and I did look at Mr. Bourdon's 77
meals at dinner, so you're probably not talking about that minimal people coming
in there, I mean if you will increase your number of rooms also, so let's hope we
don't have that minimal people, if we do, we got them more problem than we think
we've got, so I will support an application and we put the two year timeframe and
if it says people more but I still think I don't think they go bust these people from
the single rooms over to the other facility for dining, I think they're gonna still be
dining at where they're staying, am I correct in that, so we're still gonna have some
type of dining facilities there and if you don't feed 50 single room occupants, you
know, it's not going to take that much more to feed the other, so when you really
think about it, that's what I've been thinking. You know how much more facilities
going to take to feed the 77 people than it is the 50 some people that are gonna be
living there, so I don't know whether we were fighting something that we shouldn't
be fighting or not,but still I think the city is got a good effort going to remove this
other dining facility and probably those people that go to the old dining facility may
be some of the potential troublemakers that were going to be there anyway, I don't
know if they were troublemakers. So I must support the application. I think it's a
good thing. I think that people are doing an excellent job of providing a service to
individuals who own hard luck for whatever reason. Some of them just don't want
to do things but some of them are on really hard luck and I feel sorry for those
people. I think it's excellent.
54
Ms. Oliver: We put a lot of time and thought into this. We've had a lot of phone calls and lot
of conversations about this application more than I can remember in my short six
years, unlike Mr. Ripley in 19, but there are lot of players in this and I don't think
anybody in this room, I don't think there's one person in this room that is not
compassionate to the needs of people that are underprivileged at all. And I know
that each one of us sitting here are blessed, and we are quite aware of how fortunate
we are. And we commend the JCOC and the HRC for the amount of work they do,
and everybody sitting here and individually how much work that they do on their
own private time. We've got a lot of things going on 17th Street and it's been a
street as long as I can remember, since my grandfather was here that since the fuel
feed left, it's been a hard road, it's, I mean, just in developing, just all the way
around, and it has taken a long time for it to get the attention that it's getting and
thank goodness it is because it's great. There are a lot of people that have held on
to a lot of property that's valuable, that they want to develop it and that they should
have the opportunity to do so. And so, Planning Commission, you know, we do
the comprehensive planning and when the Mr. Branch was here, and he did, he
showed us this, this is what we strive to achieve. We really do, we sit up here and
we plan the future of our city and we strive for it to be a shining star with all the
citizens being productive in it. So you have that component on 17th Street. You
have a lot of, you have the JCOC on it, that is striving to take care of a population
that is at a hard need and they're doing an enormous amount of work. And then we
also, when we look at applications just like recently, a few hours ago, we were
looking at the short term rentals. We were looking at the good neighbor policy.
And I know that there's been a lot of conversation that when it leaves our property,
it's, you know, we don't have the problem on our property, but when it walks off,
once it gets on the city street, it's our responsibility, what happens, what happens
on your piece of property,how it affects me,how it affects you, all those things are
important and that's what makes us good neighbors and a good neighbor policy in
a city is extremely important. And we strive for that and it is the intent I would say
for all of us to sit up here is that that we are good neighbors with the JCOC and in
fact that they are good neighbors with the people that do business around them and
with the neighborhoods that surround them. I would love to see, you know,really
the dining soup kitchen component.
Mr. Redmond:Use the phrase, you won't know that.
Ms. Oliver: The dining hall, because the dining hall is two different things. There's the dining
hall for the residents, and then there's the dining hall for the people that don't live
there, there will be.
Mr. Redmond:No.
55
Ms. Oliver: Okay, it will feed the...it's okay
Ms. Oliver: My point is,Mr.Williams is working so diligently as Mr. Friedman to see in a short
term in a matter of five months,whether or not that that can be moved to Lita,which
would be a fabulous facility for this to go through,which would allow the JCOC to
expand their SRO.
Mr. Bourdon: Absolutely.
Ms. Oliver: Which would be perfect.
Mr. Bourdon: And there will be no dining facility if that were to be able to happen. Now where's
the people in the SROs, they can prepare their own meals.
Ms. Oliver: Okay,great. The way it's written is a little, see they did know that either, so it's not
just me. But all that being said, you know, there's a lot of pieces to this puzzle and
you want everybody to be successful and I want, you know, the gentleman that
owns the shopping center to be successful, and I want the people that live behind
the JCOC to do well and sleep well and not have problems in their neighborhoods.
And I want all the people that are hungry on the street and the young man and the
gentleman that's feeding the young, the young people to be able to have that
opportunity to do it. I think there is a great way that we can all work together to
make that happen. I just would allow would like to see more time. But I understand
that with this application, there is the condition that it gives it two years and
therefore if the JCOC comes back and it's not, we're back in this situation again.
Then we'll revisit that. In the meantime, I really would like to see that that they
would aggressively look at Lita and if that is the case, and they do get it, Eddie in
six months, would it be possible for them to go ahead and would they be agreeable
to go ahead and moving it? I am just looking for confirmation because there's been
a lot of conversation. So I'm just being very...
Mr. Bourdon: Because we wouldn't build a new one. We rather get 50 units.
Ms. Oliver: I am just making sure, we are clear. It's been a long and that we add a condition
that they add the security component to it.
Mr. Alcaraz: Madam Chair, I will make the motion.
Mr. Redmond:Thank you, second.
Mr. Ripley: So I had the opportunity to meet with opposition, a lot of calls. I met with the
applicant. I was actually there and I got a tour, I walk the site, there are some
comments about being disrepair, I got my own visual, I didn't see anything and Mr.
Friedman kind of confirmed that, the current CUP is there, it's going to be there
56
unless something happens with what we're going to do today. So having said that,
I look at it as a humanitarian effort, but I'm going to go ahead and recommend
approval with the condition of a police safety,security plan approved by police with
I guess a co-sponsor between the neighbors and the applicant.
Mr. Redmond:Second.
Mr. Inman: Was 12 and 13?
Mr. Ripley: 12 and 13, yes.
Mr. Redmond:I second it.
Mr. Tajan: Provide words to the condition staff worked on one over the last few hours. The
applicant shall coordinate with the Virginia Beach Police Department on the
creation and implementation with safety and security plan, said plan shall address
not only the Judeo Christian Outreach Center property, but shall also consider
properties in the vicinity. The plan must be accepted by the Virginia Beach Police
Department prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the building.
Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, and we're going to change the time 8 o'clock instead of 9?
Mr. Tajan: Yes and we'll add the security plan to both conditional use permits, adjusting the
time 8 o'clock for the modification of the conditional use permit.
Mr. Horsley: I just want to clarify one thing and I didn't have much but gone straight. You said
if we move the kitchen,there'll be no kitchen where people prepare their own food,
I didn't understand that that way. I thought that there was a dining facility for the
residents.
Mr. Bourdon: There is not. But we would not have a separate one.
Mr. Horsley: That's good. I understand that. I didn't understand that before.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Ms. Sandloop:The vote is open. By recorded vote of 9-0, agenda items number 12 and 13 has
been approved with conditions as added and amended.
Mr. Bourdon: Thank you, you'll have a very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. If there isn't any other, hold on, we are not adjourned. If there is no
other business,oh we have got elected officers. Well,because they're not here. We
haven't closed the hearing please. Excuse us, thank you. We have a couple of, we
have just a little more a minute of business. Mr. Jack Wall.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: KODU, LLC & OCEAN PROPERTIES, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Modification of Conditions to a Conditional Use Permit (Motor Vehicle
Sales) for the properties located at 1159 & 1165 Lynnhaven Parkway (GPINs
1486909402, 1486909622, 1486909582). COUNCIL DISTRICT — ROSE HALL
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020
■ Background:
This request was scheduled for the March 17, 2020 City Council agenda; however,
that meeting was cancelled. This 1.10-acre site consists of three parcels. The
southern parcel, owned by KODU, LLC, is currently developed with a used car lot.
The other two parcels, owned by Ocean Properties, LLC, are undeveloped. The
proposal is to expand the existing auto sales operation onto all three properties as
one business. Therefore, a Modification of Conditions to the existing Conditional
Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales is requested. The existing 2,800 square foot
building will continue to serve as the sales office for the operation. No changes are
proposed to the exterior of the building, simply the expansion of the vehicle display
area and the addition of a free-standing sign.
• Considerations:
Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's policies for the Suburban Area, this use
is compatible with the surrounding commercial and automotive uses. The Plan
calls for infill development that contributes to a mix of uses along this section of
Lynnhaven Parkway. The site is within an active commercial corridor with
surrounding uses of a shopping center, an auto repair establishment and a mini-
storage operation. The proposed expansion of the existing operation includes a
reduction in the number of possible vehicular ingress/egress points along
Lynnhaven Parkway from three down to one. A reduction in conflict points
improves safety and aesthetics along the road frontage, and reduces potential
impervious cover. Conditions are recommended that further the Comprehensive
Plan's goals regarding compatibility, infill and site design. Further details
pertaining to the application, as well as Staffs evaluation, are provided in the
attached Staff report. There is no known opposition to this request.
■ Recommendations:
The Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent Agenda, passing a
motion by a recorded vote of 9-0, to recommend approval of this request.
KODU, LLC & Ocean Properties, LLC

1. When the property is redeveloped, it shall be in substantial conformance with the
exhibit entitled Proposed Site Layout on page 6 of this report, which has been
exhibited to the Virginia Beach City Council and is on file in the Department of
Planning & Community Development.
2. No vehicles for sale shall be parked outside of the designated display area, as

foot common easement along Lynnhaven Parkway, within any utility easement or
within the right-of-way. No parking of any vehicles shall be permitted within the
right-of-way.
3. All vehicles for sale shall be located on a paved surface. No vehicles shall be
displayed on raised platforms, earthen berms, landscape islands, or any other
structure designated to display a vehicle higher than the elevation of the main
parking lot.
4. A Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the Development Services Center of the
Planning and Community Development Department for review and approval prior
to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
5. There shall be no storage of tires, merchandise, or debris of any kind outside of
the building.
6. No outside storage of vehicles in a state of obvious disrepair shall be permitted on
the site.

other signs. There shall be no portable or nonstructural signs, or electronic display
signs on the site.
10.There shall be no neon or electronic display signs or accents installed on any wall
area of the exterior of the building, in or on the windows, or on the doors. No
window signage shall be permitted. A separate sign permit shall be obtained from
the Planning Department for the installation of any signage.

on the site. The freestanding sign shall be no taller than eight (8) feet in height
measured from the ground to the top of the sign.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The 1.10-acre site consists of three parcels. The southern parcel, owned by KODU, LLC, is currently developed with a
used car lot. The other two parcels,owned by Ocean Properties, LLC, are undeveloped. The proposal is to expand
the existing auto sales operation onto all three properties as one business. Therefore, a Modification of Conditions
to the existing Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales is requested.
• Two separate Conditional Use Permits for Motor Vehicle Sales exist on the properties; however,the only active
motor vehicle sales operation exists on the southern parcel at 1165 Lynnhaven Parkway. This application will
supersede all previous City Council actions and combine the use into one operation.
• The site layout depicts the required display area plantings, interior parking lot and streetscape plantings, customer
parking, as well as up to 83 vehicles for display.
• The single vehicular ingress/egress will remain along Lynnhaven Parkway. A 22-foot common access easement exists
along the front of the property, adjacent to Lynnhaven Parkway. This easement provides vehicular access between
these lots and the shopping center to the south and the B-2 zoned lots to the north.A 20-foot utility easement exists
along the back of the site. Due to the existence of these easements, the applicant will not be able to display vehicles
in either area encumbered by the easements, nor will parking be permitted in the right-of-way. A condition has been
added addressing the vehicle display area permitted on the site.
• The existing 2,800 square foot building serves as the sales office for the operation. No changes are proposed to the
exterior of the building.

Evaluation and Recommendation
This request for a Modification of Conditions of a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales is acceptable. In Staff's
opinion,this use is compatible with the surrounding commercial and automotive uses and is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan's land use policies for the Suburban Area, as the infill development is compatible and contributes to
a mix of uses along this section of Lynnhaven Parkway. The proposed development reflects an orderly site layout. The

site is within an active commercial corridor with surrounding uses of a shopping center, an auto repair establishment
and a mini-storage operation.The plan has one vehicular ingress/egress to Lynnhaven Parkway, which is reduced from
the three potential vehicular ingress/egress, one per each lot, that could be built if each lot was developed separately.

attractive site layout for the area.
Based on these factors, Staff recommends approval subject to the conditions below.

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Suburban Area. Guiding principles have been established in
the Comprehensive Plan to guard against possible threats to the stability of the Suburban Area and to provide a frame
work for neighborhoods and places that are increasingly vibrant and distinctive. The Plan's primary guiding principle for
the Suburban Area is to create "Great Neighborhoods,". Infill development should be compatible and there should be a
careful mix of land uses that contributes to the day-to-day life of our residents. Our goal for our economy is to be
vibrant, growing and sustainable.
Natural and Cultural Resources Impacts
This site is within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. As the developed portion of the property is almost entirely
impervious,there does not appear to be any natural or cultural resources associated with the site.

owned by KODU, LLC is currently developed with a used car lot. The other two
parcels owned by Ocean Properties, LLC are undeveloped. The proposal is to

properties; however, only one is active for the motor vehicles. And that's on the
southern the southern parcel at 1165 Lynnhaven Parkway. This application will
supersede all previous City Council actions and combine the use into one operation.
There's a single vehicular ingress, egress that will remain along Lynnhaven
Parkway. A 22-foot common access easement exists along the front of the property
adjacent to Lynnhaven Parkway. This easement provides vehicular access between
the lots and the shopping center to the south and the B-2 zone lots to the north. A
20-foot utility easement exists along the back of the property. Due to the existence
of these easements, the applicant will not be able to display vehicles in either area
encumbered by these vehicles, or encumbered by these easements,nor will parking
be permitted in the right-of-way. A condition has been added addressing the
vehicle display area permitted on the site. The existing building serves as a sales
office for the operation. No changes are proposed to the exterior of this building.
Staff recommends approval and there's no opposition. Therefore, we placed this

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: JUSTIN MILEY [Applicant] JUSTIN & MARGARET MILEY AND CHRISTINE
KOMMNICK [Owners] Conditional Use Permit (Residential Kennel) for the
property located at 3253 Hungarian Road (GPIN 1388448273). COUNCIL
DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020
• Background:
This request was scheduled for the March 17, 2020 City Council agenda; however,
that meeting was cancelled. The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit for
a Residential Kennel for up to 15 adult dogs, as the Zoning Ordinance has a
limitation of four per property. Mr. Miley currently has six hunting dogs, a mixed
breed of bluetick and walker, and four companion dogs that are predominately
inside the home. No overnight boarding of dogs is proposed with this request.
• Considerations:
The 13.24-acre property is in the rural area of Virginia Beach, known as
Blackwater, on Hungarian Road. It is common for hunting dogs to be kept primarily
outdoors in kennels in the southern part of the City. The applicant is currently
constructing a 384-square foot structure on the agriculturally-zoned property to
house the hunting dogs. The property falls within the Agricultural Reserve Program
(ARP) and a Residential Kennel is a permitted use within the ARP easement.
Section 223 of the Zoning Ordinance requires animals to be kept in soundproof,
air-conditioned buildings, or be located at least 100 feet from an adjacent property
line. The proposed kennel measures approximately 120 feet to the nearest
property line, thereby, meeting the requirements. In addition, the kennel is located
over 400 feet from the closest residential dwelling. Animal Control Staff has
reviewed the request and indicated that there is no record of any complaints filed
with the City. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as Staffs
evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report.
There was one speaker in opposition at the Planning Commission public hearing.
This speaker is the property owner to the west who plans on building a home on
that property in the near future. The concerns were related to noise, safety, and
environmental impacts. Based on the discussion at the hearing, the Planning
Commission modified the maximum number of dogs allowed from 15 to 10, as
identified by strikethrough and underlined text in Condition 1 below.
Justin Miley
Page 2of2
• Recommendations:
The Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend approval of this request
by a vote of 9-0.
1. There shall be no more than fifteen ten adult dogs kept on the property at any
time.
2. The dog kennel structure, outdoor dog area, and fence shall be maintained in
a safe and sanitary condition.
3. All animal waste from the dog kennel shall be collected and disposed of in a
lawful manner on a daily basis.
4. The applicant shall ensure that all dogs are properly vaccinated and immunized
and are licensed through the City of Virginia Beach.

be kept inside the fenced area and also within a 384 square foot structure on a large agriculturally zoned property. As
stated above,the kennel building is located over 400 feet from the closest dwelling unit and is surrounded by cultivated
agricultural land. Animal Control has reviewed the request and indicated that there is no record of any complaints filed

Conditional Use Permit (Residential Kennel)
3253 Hungarian Road
February 12, 2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Ms. Sandloop:Thank you Madam Chair. Our next item of business is agenda item number two,
Justin Miley, which is an application for Conditional Use Permit a residential
kennel on property located at 3253 Hungarian Road located in the Princess Anne
District. If the applicant or the applicant's representative is present, would you
please approach the podium and state your name?
Ms. Oliver: And I just want to remind all our speakers today that to be respectful of our time
limit, which is three minutes.
Mr. Miley: Justin Miley.
Ms. Oliver: How are you?
Mr. Miley: Good.
Ms. Oliver: Good. Would you like to tell us a little bit about your application today?
Mr. Miley: Just for 6 hunting dogs. I'm moving from Chesapeake to Virginia Beach to my new
property. I had them for 10 years so I'm just pretty much moving them over to my
new house and that's about it.
Ms. Oliver: Alright, quite well, why don't you take a seat and then we'll see who the next
speaker is. Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:We have one speaker Madam Chair, Cary Scott Jr.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Scott: Hello.
Ms. Oliver: If you'll state your name for the record please.
Mr. Scott: Cary Scott, Jr.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Scott: I'm opposed to this for three main reasons. One being noise, two being safety and
three, the health and environmental risks, I own the property to the adjacent to his
1
to the west. So as far as noise average dog bark is 85 decibels. He's applied for a
permit for up to 15 dogs,just to kind of give an idea, a rock concert's 110 decibels,
a jackhammer from 50-feet away is 95 decibels, Oceana requires employers to
implement a noise conservation program when workers are exposed to anything
over 85 decibels, which is the same as average dog bark. Safety, there's 800,000
dog bites per year in the US, children are most frequently bit in the face, neck and
head and half of those 800,000 involve children, and then health environment. In
1991, the EPA labeled dog feces as a nonpoint source pollutants, which puts in the
same category as herbicides,insecticides,old grease and toxic chemicals. The EPA
says 15 days worth of waste from 15 dogs will contribute enough pollution to close
a beach and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it to swimming and shell fishing.
Out there, we're on well water. So, I am greatly concerned with how the feces
would be handled and how it could impact the quality of our drinking water. Dog
feces is also one of the most common carriers of whip worms, hook worms, round
worms and even the coronavirus, which we've been hearing a lot about.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions for Mr. Scott?
Mr. Barnes: Yeah, I do.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Barnes: Point out where your house is?
Mr. Scott: Right there, well it's not my house. I just purchased a property with the plan to
build a house right there where the word proposed would be, is my property.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else have any questions for Mr. Scott? Yes.
Mr. Wall: I see the property where the proposed kennel structure is,is your house towards the
roadway or where's it going to be looking?
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Scott, there's a pointer right in front of you.
Mr. Scott: The plan would be right in there.
Mr. Wall: So, is the lot size about the same size as the applicant's?
Mr. Scott: Our lot is 20 acres, I believe their is 12 acres.
Mr. Wall: Okay so a little bit bigger.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else? Yes Mr. Redmond.
2
Mr. Redmond:So,where you're going to build that house I mean you surveyed and all that I mean,
how far you were?
Mr. Scott: We're still in the process of all that, I'm sure you're aware it takes a lot of time to
get that through the city.
Mr. Redmond:This is hardly a scientific observation but it looks to me like that would be farther
than that. Then what's indicated on that aerial is the closest dwelling, the closest
dwelling is 400 feet so,how far is your house or what going to be from that kennel?
Mr. Scott: I have not measured it.
Mr. Redmond:85 decibels,quite a different story if the dog stands next to you, than if it's 400-500
feet.
Mr. Scott: But that for one dog, this permit is for up to 15 dogs.
Mr. Barnes: Yeah, but that doesn't change the decibels. Yeah, they don't multiply; they don't
multiply by 85 versus one.
Mr. Scott: Okay and understood.
Mr. Redmond:Okay, thank you.
Mr. Alcaraz: Scott,you will be seeing the condition number three with your concerns about these
feces. He is getting a use permit. So, one of the conditions is to lawfully dispose
of that or he jeopardizes his use permit.
Mr. Scott: How's that enforced?
Mr. Alcaraz: You'll have to pass that onto ...
Mr. Tajan: So, if you find that there's an issue, this is a zoning matter. If there are issues we
can check to see if it's not being picked up also, and I'm sure.
Mr. Scott: By mean y'all be checking my water quality right?
Mr. Barnes: No, it's your responsibility.
Mr. Scott: So, I mean, I have to bear those costs.
Mr. Barnes: You would have to, if you are going to apply for a permit to put in a well, but no
matter what after that condemnation would be a legal issue, not a city issue.
Mr. Scott: I understand. But if there wasn't 15 dogs, then I wouldn't have a concern and
wouldn't be testing my water quality.
3
Mr. Barnes: Well, suppose there was 15 cows there, how would you be with that?
Mr. Scott: I haven't researched the effects cow feces.
Mr. Barnes: I guess the point I'm making is what's the guy supposed to do, I mean, he owns the
property and it's legal to put the dogs there. I mean, he's jumped through all the
hoops. He's got all the conditions.
Mr. Scott: I am here to voice my concerns. Those are my concerns.
Mr. Barnes: But you're saying something that might happen. And there's no way we can justify
approving or disapproving on something that might happen.
Mr. Scott: I understand that but if it does happen, then I'm the one who has to deal with those
consequences.
Mr. Barnes: Yeah probably. This is your property. Yeah. So,what do you suggest we do since
it's all legal by the rules and regulations?
Mr. Scott: I mean, I would prefer not to have a kennel.
Mr. Barnes: What do you suggest we do? I mean, if you were in his position and it was him
living there, what would you do?
Mr. Scott: I would do what he's done and applied for a permit.
Mr. Barnes: Well that's what he's doing and it's legal.
Mr. Scott: I understand. I'm asking you all to vote against it. How about that?
Mr. Barnes: Yeah, we got it.
Mr. Scott: Just put it very simple.
Ms. Oliver: Yes Don.
Mr. Horsley: I think rest assured that we wouldn't approve anything that would be detrimental to
anything that would affect nearby wales and several of them are in that area. I'm
very familiar with the property, I have farmed the property. As you know, I farmed
your property until you build your house, and the city attorney said that's not a
conflict for me. So, I'm just to tell you that this is something legal, the 15 is a
number. I'm not sure, there will ever be 15.
Mr. Scott: It could be though.
Mr. Horsley: Well, we can change that 15 also so he's got six and four, we could make it 10
which would cut it down a third but rest assured that we wouldn't dare put anything
4
there that would be detrimental to anybody because these peoples have house there,
the next neighbor that's building a house there and the people that are already living
close in that area but you'll be all right.
Mr. Scott: I'm here to voice my opinion.
Mr. Horsley: I appreciate you doing that.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, come down. Would the applicant like to come back up and speak on
the concerns? Come on up. Maybe you can help him. Okay, go ahead down.
Mr. Horsley: You got 6 dogs right now?
Mr. Miley: Six dogs and four house dogs,you can only have four legally on a piece of property.
Mr. Horsley: Yeah, for the max.
Mr. Miley: Yeah, so with the six, it's going to be 10 and that's all I plan to have for hunting
and usually every once in a while I have a puppy so I talked to project Planner, I
think his name was Hoa. And if I kept the puppies up to six months that falls
underneath more license, and then I wouldn't keep them all,I am just going to keep
six hunting dogs, that's my total.
Mr. Horsley: What I'm saying is what's the number that you got to have? You don't need 15?
Mr. Miley: 10 because I got six hunting dogs and four in a house. But if I had a puppy, I didn't
want somebody come out there, so say 12 if anything. I'm not breeding dogs.
Ms. Oliver: It's just in case you get a puppy.
Mr. Horsley: Okay, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Well, and the young man's concern was the disposal of the waste from the dogs.
Do you want to address how you are planning on handling it?
Mr. Miley: I clean them up every day. I'll put them in a black trash bag and dispose it properly.
Nothing goes in a ditch. I let my dogs drink water out of the ditch, so I am just
saying and I agree with him, if I got cows or pigs probably be worse than having
my dogs and they are on concrete. They're not even in the dirt, so that's another
thing.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, anybody else have any questions? Thank you. We're going to close the
hearing now and open it up for discussion amongst the commissioners.
5
Mr. Horsley: He says he could get by with 10. I think that would be a better number to put down
there and I think that would help alleviate some of Scott's concerns. I would like
to change that 15 to 10 and make a motion to approve the application.
Mr. Redmond:Second.
Ms. Sandloop:The vote is open. By recorded vote of 9-0, agenda item number two has been
approved with the condition as amended.
Mr. Oliver: Thank you.

Dear Ms.Coleman:
After years of conflict with our HOA and especially with this year's issues,we have decided to move out
of Virginia Beach,effective April 1,2020. We no longer feel the stress these neighbors have caused us is
worth our efforts,although it crushes us to leave this home that we love. It is with a heavy heart to
inform you that this of course means I am withdrawing my Conditional Use Permit request. I will apply
with the State to be a rehabilitator in Chesapeake instead until the Navy takes us elsewhere next year.
I would like to commend you on your incredible level of professionalism,thoroughness,and
communication.You have been such a wonderful mentor through this process and I am truly
appreciative for all of your work. I have had nothing but positive words to tell those that inquire about
the planning process. I will be sure to inform your supervisor of what a wonderful job you have done.
It has been a pleasure working with you.Thank you again!
Warm regards,

until they are ready to return to their natural habitat. No animals will be released
from the site. According to the application, the mammals will be rehabilitated
indoors within cages that are set up solely for their care. The applicant is currently
seeking licensure through the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries
(VDGIF).
• Considerations:
The applicant is aware of the provisions set forth in Section 242.3 of the Zoning
Ordinance related to Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility. A condition is
recommended to emphasis those standards. Animals will not be left outside
unsupervised or overnight and will remain in their enclosures until their final
release location is determined in accordance with VDGIF requirements. The
existing six-foot high privacy fence provides screening and buffering for the
adjacent properties. During the site visit, Staff found the property to be very
organized and well-kept. Further details pertaining to the application, as well as
Staff's evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report.
There was one speaker in opposition at the Planning Commission public hearing
who noted concerns about disposal of dead animals and possible health concerns.
Apparently over the last several months, migrating buzzards have been
frequenting the large stormwater management pond and neighboring properties.
The neighbor was concerned that the birds were purposely being attracted to the
residential property. As the applicant has not begun operating the nursery, it was
made clear that the birds' activities were unrelated.

Background and Summary of Proposal
• The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility to care for
small mammals on an almost two-acre parcel located in the Kempsville Crossing neighborhood.
• The applicant desires to provide care for rabbits, opossums, squirrels, and bats. According to the application,the
mammals will be rehabilitated indoors within cages that are set up solely for their care to comply with the permit
requirements of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF).The applicant has applied for a
Category I Permit,which is categorized as an apprentice whose work is performed under the supervision and
guidance of a sponsoring Cateogry II Permit holder. All wildlife in the care of a Category I Permit holder shall be
obtained from the Category II supervisor during the first two years of the license.
• The primary goal is to care for these mammals until they are ready to return to their natural habitat.
• Care for the animals will occur both inside the single-family dwelling as well as within the backyard, as described
below.The applicant agrees to the installation of a double door system to provide more protection for the animals
and the handler, as noted in Condition S.The proposed structure will meet all size and construction requirements
set forth by the VDGIF.
• Animals will not be left outside unsupervised or overnight and will remain in their indoor enclosures until their final
release location is determined by VDGIF.
• Animals are referred from the applicant's mentor who receives the wildlife from Virginia Beach Animal Control,
veterinarian offices, and individual citizen drop-offs. Animals in need of rehabilitation are transported to the site by
vehicle, and after rehabilitation,the animals are again transferred by vehicle to their natural habitat and released.
No animals will be released from the site.
• A six-foot high privacy fence is installed on the northern, southern and western portions of the site. The backyard is
not completely enclosed, as there is a stormwater management facility (BMP) in the rear of the property visible
from Centerville Turnpike that serves the Kempsville Crossing neighborhood. The BMP is completely screened along
Centerville Turnpike with a five-foot fence and plant material.

Evaluation and Recommendation
The proposed Conditional Use Permit for a Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility on this site, in Staff's opinion, is
consistent with the policies and goals set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the Suburban Area. Achieving this goal
requires that all land use activities either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with
surroundings, quality and attractiveness of structures, and provide effective buffering with respect to surrounding uses.
The proposed wildlife rehabilitation facility is in keeping with these principles, as the six-foot high privacy fence provides
sufficient screening and buffering for the adjacent properties. During the site visit, Staff found the property to be very
organized and well-kept, successfully promoting the policies intended to ensure the maintainence and sustainability of
great neighborhoods.
As stated previously,the applicant has applied for their Category I Permit through the Virginia Department of Game and
Inland Fisheries.The license will be issued to the applicant after a favorable recommendation and approval from City
Council has been obtained.
The applicant is aware of the standards outlined in Section 242.3 of the City Zoning Ordinance (listed below)for Home-
Based Wildlife Rehabilitation Facilities and Staff believes that this request adequately addresses these requirements.
For the reasons stated above, Staff recommends approval of this application, subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. The applicant shall comply with all the provisions of Section 242.3 of the City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to a
Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility.
2. The applicant shall comply with all provisions established for wildlife rehabilitation by the Virginia Department Game
& Inland Fisheries.
3. No animals shall be dropped-off between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

6. The pre-release cage depicted on the site layout shall be equipped with a double door system for the protection of
the handler and the mammals prior to occupancy by any mammals.
7. All mammals kept onsite shall be properly vaccinated for rabies and proof of rabies immunization shall be kept

Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within the Suburban Area. The general planning principles
for the Suburban Area focus on creating and maintaining great neighborhoods through stability and sustainability;
protecting and enhancing open spaces and places of cultural and historical significance; and creating and maintaining a
transportation system that provides connectivity and mobility. Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities
either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability, and effective buffering
with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to surrounding uses. (pp.1-59 to 1-68)
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 does not appear to be any significant natural or cultural resources associated with this site.

Conditional Use Permit(Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility)
1916 Kempsville Crossing Lane
February 12,2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL
Ms. Sandloop:Our next item of business is agenda item number three, Suzanne Nicole Rupp. An
application for a Conditional Use Permit Home-Based Wildlife Rehabilitation
Facility on property located at 1916 Kempsville Crossing Lane located in the
Centerville District. The applicant or the applicant's representative please step to
the podium.
Ms. Oliver: Good afternoon.
Ms. Rupp: Good afternoon.
Ms. Oliver: Would you state your name for the record place?
Ms. Rupp: Suzanne Rupp.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, thank you. You're about to tell us a little bit about your application.
Ms. Rupp: I am seeking a Conditional Use Permit for wildlife rehabilitation in my home. The
cages will be located in my laundry room. I only have room for four cages so it
won't be too many animals,but it'll help though,with animals in need. It'll be small
mammals; it'll be squirrels, possums, and bunnies. As a Category I permit holder,
I can only have uninjured orphaned animals and my mentor, she's sitting back here.
She says that should there be an issue with having these animals outside in this soft
release cage. So, basically, they will be in the enclosure for the last couple weeks
before they're going to be released. If there is an issue with the community or any
concerns about them perhaps getting out for some reason, then she had agreed that
I would just transfer the animals that I'm rehabilitating to her and she'll release them
at her home in Chesapeake.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, great. Thank you, you have a seat, and we'll hear from the next speaker.
Ms. Rupp: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Ms. Sandloop:We have one speaker, Crystal Wiggins.

Ms. Oliver: Welcome Mrs. Wiggins.
Ms. Wiggins: Thank you. Good afternoon Chair and Commissioners. My name is Crystal
Wiggins and I strongly-strongly oppose to this and this is why, I didn't bring slides,
but I did send some to the homeowner association. You had a picture a little while
ago of her home and right beside it, there's an ease way you can see on your right
hand side, like the little park area and if you go straight back there, there's a little
park that you can take kids to. However, we've been there for about four years and
I always walk that way and sit and so one day, not too long ago in December, I had
my grandkids, and we were getting ready to go walk and I look at her house, all on
the top, particularly the back and on the fence to the left side were buzzards
everywhere, and to the point where they started to spread to the other home. So,
I'm like, okay, something's wrong here. Something has died, something's going
wrong. I've been here for years; I've never ever seen this. Only time I've seen that
many buzzards is when I go past the land field,which is not that far from my home.
So, I took pictures,but I didn't realize I sent them to the homeowner association. I
even drove around on the backside; we couldn't even walk. I was so terrified, and
my grandkids were terrified, and I had a little Maltese I held up. So, all I know is
when you have that many buzzards, there's dead animals around and it's not
attractive to a home, to a street and to the area where we're, which is why I moved
to the area. So, I could walk and sit at that park,I normally go to Mount Trashmore
every day, but that allows me to sit with the kids and take them to the park. And
so not only is it not a good look, but I know that health wise something's not right.
I feel like that type of business or home wildlife that you want to do should be in
an area that has more land and not end up on one street community, so that's what
I feel.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Does anybody have any questions for Mr. Wiggins? Yes.
Mr. Graham: I have a question. Was it just one time that you saw the buzzards?
Ms. Wiggins: Oh no, it was several weeks. I mean, was like several days like I kept driving by I
told my husband because my husband mentioned it to me, like two or three weeks
way before, so I thought, you know, maybe he was thinking about when he drove
past, I didn't realize it was her particular home. And so, I watched, I took pictures,
I drove around, I kept walking, I said, what is going on? To the point I even called
the homeowner association to ask to speak to the manager. So I wanted to talk to
her to see if something had died in the water that was causing the buzzards to come
but she was on vacation at that time and that was a week so I said let a week go by
and then towards the first part of January, I called it and I was able to reach her and
indicate .. but then when I saw the letter, the flyer in my mailbox, her asking the
2
neighbors to support it, I said oh, so this is what's going on. This makes sense.
Because in four years, I've never seen that so and it wasn't one day, it was several.
Ms. Oliver: Did you inquire with her what was in the backyard that might have attracted that?
Ms. Wiggins: I didn't go and knock on her door,but I assume if she's doing wildlife,possums I've
seen a possum in my backyard and told my husband to open the fence and just,
yeah, let it go where it goes, squirrels, rabbits we see all the time. So, I don't see
that is a sanctuary to have for your home for one street and then they like I said the
buzzards were on the top and on the side,but I took pictures where they had spread
it out to the neighbor to her right and left on top of their home. So, I can only
imagine if that's.
Mr. Barnes: Did you see them feeding like on the ground?
Ms. Wiggins: There were some buzzards on the ground. There were buzzards on the fence. There
were buzzards on the roof of her home. And it was like I was like what in the world
is going on here? Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Weiner.
Mr. Weiner: Were they buzzards, or were they crows?
Ms. Wiggins: No,they were buzzards, not crows, I know exactly what a crow looks like. I know
exactly what a buzzard looks like because we live not too far from the landfill. So,
Yeah, this is gigantic. Yeah, totally different.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Redmond?
Mr. Redmond:How many times did you say you saw this?
Mr. Wiggins: I saw, I watched it for about a week and I kept calling was trying to get in contact
with the homeowner's association. My husband has saw them several weeks before
and I kept watching. I was like, so then the water there used to be the water that
would spout in the middle of the lake. So, I didn't see that on so I thought, well,
maybe something's died. What's going on? There's something different in this
property that has occurred and then when I saw the flyer, I figured, okay, wildlife
something's going on here, so.
Ms. Oliver: George.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yeah, so you live on the street?
Ms. Wiggins: I do live on the street at 1837.
Mr. Alcaraz: Where's that on location?
3
Ms. Wiggins: I live closer towards when you're coming into the neighborhood,I am like 10 houses
on the right when you are going into the neighborhood.
Mr. Alcaraz: On the same street?
Ms. Wiggins: Same, it's only one street. It's just one street.
Mr. Alcaraz: And you saw the buzzards on the?
Ms. Wiggins: On the back of her house, on the side of her property, on the backyard. I wish I had
my phone; I could show you.
Mr. Alcaraz: And you saw them on the house next door to?
Ms. Wiggins: Yes.
Mr. Alcaraz: Between. So, you had the green space and you had that house?
Ms. Wiggins: Right. So, her house is in the middle, so directly to her right. There's a home that's
a little closer, okay. And then you have the ease way, the easement that you can
walk and then there's the other house and there were two on top of that home.
Mr. Alcaraz: And that's a park?
Ms. Wiggins: It's like a little, what do you call?
Mr. Barnes: Open area.
Ms. Wiggins: Thank you, I am looking for the proper word.
Mr. Alcaraz: Is that lake her lake or is it a BMP?
Ms. Wiggins: No. It's a part of...
Mr. Alcaraz: I just see it depicted with the blue line and it looks like it's her property. Is there
fish in that lake?
Ms. Wiggins: I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea.
Mr. Alcaraz: How long you have been there, you haven't seen anyone?
Ms. Wiggins: I've been there for four years and I walk all the time. I mean, I've seen people out
there in the summertime. They may have a little poll one or two,but it's you know,
it's like your community lake and my husband who's an engineer for Verizon, share
that when they're doing plan development things like that, that's just to help to
relieve the pressure in the water and see and there's a couple of little benches one
or two,but when you walk straight back, you can walk to the other side.
4
Mr. Alcaraz: One last question, when did you see these buzzards or what time, what season or?
Ms. Wiggins: Oh, it was like around December.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay,just recently.
Ms. Wiggins: Yeah. And so, my husband saw them like before, so I might have, I think I call it
around that time and my husband saw them like earlier like November and early.
He's like something's going on. Like, I said,what are you talking about? And then
when I saw for myself, I'm like, you did not describe that adequately at all.
Ms. Oliver: Jack. Do you have Ospreys around there? Ospreys, do you have ospreys,big birds
that nest way up in cell towers, etc?
Ms. Wiggins: No, I normally see, well, I used to live near Gravenhurst area where they had
swampy lake and so they had those types of birds and things over there but not.
Ms. Oliver: Not in that neighborhood, okay.
Ms. Wiggins: Only problem that we've ever had, which is it's not really a problem,but it is what
it is because its nature. And that's, you know, geese that come and go, seasonally,
that's what I've always saw, and we were just used to that, so, you know,but.
Mr. Graham: You see geese on the lake there?
Ms. Wiggins: Yeah, wintertime, they come and go when the time comes. Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Wiggins: You're welcome. Thank you for listening.
Ms. Oliver: Absolutely. Would you like to come up and see if you can address her concern
would be great? Thank you.
Ms. Rupp: So, the vultures have been a problem even for us. I think you have this agenda in
front of you. It's on page nine; you see we had to put our patio furniture away
because they would keep pulling at it. And seven of our screens on the main floor,
we have to replace because there were holes that the vultures have ripped out. We
think they're coming by because they love to swim in the lake or like take little
baths in the lake that's right behind us and then they'll sleep in our grass in the
backyard. So, I haven't seen them in weeks, but they would come in batches, and
then some days wouldn't see them. So, it really depends on I noticed when it's
warmer out, that's when they would come by, and we are right by the landfill. So,
they live close by,but I think that's the main attraction is the water honestly,because
that's what we see them do. They'll splash around and they'll come back out and
5
we don't mess with them because their wildlife doesn't matter it happens. And
they'll just sleep there, and we don't harm them or anything. We just let them sleep
and take a bath and they just come and go. I know it's very random.
Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Graham: So, when, one of the animals you're rehabilitating when it dies, I'm sure it happens
from time to time. How do you dispose of the animal carcass?
Ms. Rupp: Well, first, I don't have any animals right now because my permit is only it's based
on this approval.
Mr. Graham: So right now, you don't have any?
Ms. Rupp: No, I don't have any. So, the vulture is coming there has nothing to do with any
wildlife that I have. So, I've never disposed of any wildlife.
Mr. Graham: So, you didn't try it out and have some there?
Ms. Rupp: No, I have not.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, Mr. Barnes.
Mr. Barnes: Yes, the buzzards are not there now, right?
Ms. Rupp: No,they're not. I didn't see any, I haven't seen any in a couple of weeks. I see them
flying around occasionally.
Mr. Barnes: They migrate. There are two kinds of buzzards here is the turkey vulture and the
black vulture. That's the two kind. The turkey vulture is common here, black
vulture just come here within the last 15 years and they migrate in and out more so
than a turkey and there are doubles in numbers basically, they don't like to stick
together. They'll be in the same area. They have two different food sources. The
black vulture I have trouble with them with calves, they'll actually, we'll they're
protected. I mean,you can't. It's like any other bird,they're prey,you can't destroy
them. So,they'll actually attack and if the calf is somewhat inhibited at birth,they'll
eat them. So, you know but the turkey buzzard doesn't, but they don't bother
people. I mean,it's not that they're,you know,they're not like an eagle or something
that will occasionally take a person, you know, if they're small. But they migrate
in and out. They're nasty. They're ugly. They don't hurt anything, but were you
feeding them?
Ms. Rupp: No.
6
Mr. Barnes: Were you feeding them? I mean was there any carry in there and any reason for them
to be there?
Ms. Rupp: Sometimes there's like dead fish that float up, I noticed.
Mr. Barnes: No, but were you doing it?
Ms. Rupp: No, I was not.
Mr. Barnes: Yeah. S,o I would think they were just migrating, you know, happened to be that
time and they do, you know, in the fall and in the spring that would be my thoughts
they probably come and go. They're unsightly, there's no doubt about that. So far
as taking care of the animals, I guess, you know, that's okay with me, as long as it
doesn't bother anybody else and you let them go when they rehabilitated.
Ms. Rupp: Right. And they won't be released in the community.
Ms. Oliver: I do have one question. You made reference to the fact that they're tearing up your
screen.
Ms. Rupp: Yes.
Ms. Oliver: So, that gives me real concern about having your wildlife rehabilitation customers
in that screened in area if there I mean, it's nothing for a vulture to go through a
screen.
Ms. Rupp: Well, that's up for the window screen, but the enclosure if it's allowed, it already
has like a kind of a mesh wire. I guess you can kind of see it on there and then it
put.
Ms. Oliver: No, I haven't been seen much other than the furniture.
Ms. Rupp: Oh sorry, Yes. And then I was going to put some other, I forgot what the wire is
called,but I am sorry, I'm blanking on what's called but there's a wire it has very.
Mr. Barnes: Little round holes?
Ms. Rupp: It's like a second layer, but again, if the soft enclosures not approved, that's totally
fine. My mentor said that she'll take the animals whenever they're ready for the
pre-release. But otherwise, the animals will always be in the cages in my laundry
room.
Ms. Oliver: Jack.
Mr. Wall: I'm just curious. Do you own, there's a lake within your property?
7
Ms. Rupp: Yeah, it is.
Mr. Wall: Okay.
Ms. Rupp: We own 1.92 acres and the lake itself. It's kind of weird. I guess it's owned by the
City, but we own all the land around it. And we're not allowed to have the whole
property fenced in because HOA prohibits that. Otherwise we would but because
I mean in case that's a concern of animals getting loose or whatnot, we can't fence
in the whole thing.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, George.
Mr. Alcaraz: So, I asked before so is there fish in the pond?
Ms. Rupp: There are fish fairly large parts.
Mr. Alcaraz: You clean the fish when they're dead, you said they're dead?
Ms. Rupp: Yeah. I mean, they just float in the water unless they come to the shore, but most
of the time, I don't know what animals are getting them,but they're gone. Like I'll
see them floating like its kind of a large pond. But I don't have like a skimmer or
anything.
Mr. Alcaraz: I just wanted to know. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else? Yes Mike.
Mr. Inman: Question for our bird expert. Would there be anything about the water that would
be attractive?
Mr. Barnes: No, she asked about osprey. Osprey eat fish,and that's it, and they'll dive and catch
them even though they're not worth it. They eat them. But it's migration, I can say
that, you know, buzzards are nasty, I mean they are nasty and they're unsightly to
look at simply because,you know,what they eat,but something has to eat that,you
know, and I doubt very seriously they eat anything out of the water, I would say no.
Ms. Rupp: I haven't seen them.
Mr. Barnes: I don't think so. It's mainly nature and they actually serve a purpose. You know, I
mean, they just do and they you just happen to be in their flight path. The way it
appears to me, you know, I've had it happen to my house and I bet Don has. You
know, I've had them roost on, set on top of my ass periodically for a day or two,
then they're gone. And I don't feed them, you know, so but.
Mr. Inman: Since they're gone now, when are they coming back? I mean how often they come.
8
Mr. Barnes: You have to ask them. I don't know. I would say in next fall or next spring when
the migration that would be my guess,they might show up tomorrow. I don't know.
Mr. Inman: I know you have no warranties on that.
Ms. Oliver: We had them, but it was because the Ospreys were dropping the fish.
Mr. Barnes: Oh, that's what I am saying, there are only two reasons they're there and that's the
reproduce and eat just like that,just about everything else is around, you know, so
that's why they are there.
Mr. Redmond:I want to make sure I understood you correctly, you don't have any animals now,
and you haven't been caring for any animals at your property?
Ms. Rupp: That's correct; I have my domestic pets but no wild animals at all.
Mr. Barnes: Do you have permit for that?
Ms. Rupp: Yes, I do, which I can't get yet until this is approved.
Mr. Barnes: So, we're doing all this sort of on a proposal?
Mr. Redmond:Yeah. But my point is presumably the idea of these turkey vultures probably I
mean, I got them at my house. I live in thorough suburbia and I walk out to the
street and there's these odd looking animals out there. Yeah, it's probably me, but
they,in any event,so there has to be some sort of causal link here. She's not causing
these birds to come to her house. She's not caring for any wildlife at the moment,
whatever reason they're there. It's not you that's what I could tell. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Yes. Any more questions? No more questions. Okay. Thank you very much.
Ms. Rupp: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: We're going to close this hearing, just for the Commissioners and open it up for
discussion. Okay, come on up.
Ms. Wiggins: Can I say something?It's important.
Mr. Barnes: You're not going to be mad at me, are you?
Ms. Wiggins: No, I just want to make something clear. I've been there for four years. There
before they moved in the home was empty. We've never in four years seen any
buzzards it's always been geese. I find it interesting that prior to the flyer coming
out,I'm sure the interest to do wildlife was probably there. I'm not sure kind of what
transpired but since she's put the proposal in there haven't been any animals there,
there been no buzzards.
9
Mr. Barnes: She hasn't put anything there. I mean for the buzzard to be there is that correct?
So, since she's not doing this, I guess what you're saying is because she's going to
do what she's applying to do that she's caused the buzzards to be there because she
had any of the animals there.
Ms. Wiggins: I'm saying that something was going on there prior to the permit is what I'm saying.
And buzzards were everywhere, and they are not turkey buzzards,they're buzzards.
And now that we're in this process, and we've been waiting for a few weeks, they
are not. Well, whatever buzzard, Turkey buzzards, is just imagine one street and
you walk out and they're everywhere and you have kids. No, they're more than
unsightly, they are terrifying.
Mr. Barnes: But they won't hurt you.
Ms. Wiggins: It's not a wildlife community area is what I'm saying. And that's not the type of
street or home community in that area.
Mr. Graham: I'm not an expert on this. But I will tell you anywhere there's water, you're going
to have geese and geese just like all of us die at some point. And when a geese or
goose dies,those vultures are on it and I can tell you. I have a lot next to my house,
I live on the water, we have had a goose and we get them all on the field next to us
and they're nasty looking creatures.
Ms. Wiggins: We have geese; we have geese come up and down the street, never in for years that
I've been there and prior to me looking at the property for a year, have I ever seen
any vultures, buzzards?
Mr. Graham: But, I mean, it's... they're opportunists and if there's a goose you're going to see
one.
Ms. Wiggins: Right,but I just don't think that. I'm sure that our community is not quite aware of
what that look looks like and like I said, I happen to walk there all the time. And I
see so it's just like, I'm just sharing that our particular street, that one little street in
the back of her home is just I don't think is appropriate area for a wildlife, home
based wildlife for squirrel and possums and... to attract that.
Ms. Oliver: Well, the one thing is that the application, she's only going to have four cages. So,
inside her house, with that being said, that if going forward, and there are any
problems that you notice, there are certainly, you know, you can certainly make
phone calls to the City so that they can come out and take a look at what's going
on.
Ms. Wiggins: Well, not only that, I mean, I don't think the homeowner association is not even
zoned for that, so I guess that's why we're here but I'm just saying imagine. It's like
10
well, that's the whole purpose is to come and share. If she was backed up in it, it
wasn't where you could walk in it and it's just her backyard. And nobody could
ever walk by into the park, then that's fine. It's hers, its private, but it's not. It's
open to the rest of the area and that's why a lot of us move there. So we could have
that little area to walk and take our kids and dogs and so forth. And her home, her
backyard is backed up into the lake and so yes, her fence, her home is fenced in on
the side of her property, but it's not the whole rest of the park where you can walk
by if it was just that and some trees fine.
Ms. Oliver: Right, she's not allowed to fence in the entire lake even though that is part of her
property.
Ms. Wiggins: Well, the whole entire lake isn't,just the back portion straight right behind where
you can see her backyard. That's her property straight back there, but the rest of
the lake is not.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, all right. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate your time. We're going
to close this commission hearing and open it up for discussion.
Mr. Horsley: I think we already had.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, we discussed it.
Mr. Barnes: Yes ma'am. You know, I don't want to tell you about the buzzards, they going to
come and go because if the lady isn't feeding them there and I don't think there's
much you can do about that. And if it's, by code it's legal for her to do the wild
game rehabilitation, which I assume is what that is and then it's legal. There's
nothing you can do about the fact the buzzards go here, buzzards go there, for
whatever reason. Like I said before, it's not pretty, but you know, lot of things in
nature, I mean. Look at me. but in any case, so I'm going to move that we approve.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Redman.
Mr. Redmond:Second. You're pretty though.
Ms. Sandloop:Vote is open. By vote of 9-0, agenda item number three has been approved.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: AN ORDINANCE TO ADOPT AND INCORPORATE INTO THE VIRGINIA
BEACH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THE VIRGINIA BEACH RESORT AREA
STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN 2030 WHICH WILL SUPERSEDE THE VIRGINIA
BEACH RESORT AREA STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN 2008 AND TO AMEND
SECTIONS 1.1 (PLANNING AREAS PLANNED LAND USE MAP), 1.2
(URBAN AREAS) STRATEGIC GROWTH AREA LOCATOR MAP, AND TEXT
PERTAINING TO THE RESORT STRATEGIC GROWTH AREA.
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020
• Background:
In 2008, the City of Virginia Beach adopted the Resort Area Strategic Action
Plan. Since 2008, a great deal of development has occurred and the need to
adapt to changing lifestyles and preferences persists. Therefore, City and Resort
Area leadership agree that it is time to refresh the goals and initiatives, establish
updated priorities, and review the existing Resort Area boundaries. The Resort
Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) 2030 goals are designed to reflect existing
conditions with residential and commercial development, and to establish a
transparent, inclusive, comprehensive process that defines and prioritizes the
goals of the stakeholders and the City. The end result is a plan that has clear,
measurable initiatives for implementation. Public comment was received at the
March 3, 2020 City Council meeting. A few speakers in opposition to the plan
had concerns over the plans focus on developing a park in Rudee Loop.
Proponents spoke about the new goals with a focus on outcomes such as the
Mobility Plan and the development of a Central Management Entity.
• Considerations:
Key changes to the Plan include updated and clear goals and actions for the next
10 years with an expanded Resort Area boundary to include the Virginia
Aquarium & Marine Science Center. The RASAP 2030 action items are: adopt
the best practices of a Central Management Entity, develop a comprehensive
Mobility Plan, design and implement Streetscape Improvements, enhance and
develop connected Green/Open Spaces, design and construct a Gateway at 21st
Street that provides a sense of welcome and arrival, support lmpactful Projects
that benefit the Resort Area and City of Virginia Beach, and support Residential
and Mixed-Use development in the Resort Area. Based on stakeholders'
concerns and input, the updated Plan places a strong focus on the provision of
key services such as transportation, parking, safety, enhanced outreach and
engagement with homeless persons and panhandlers, beautification, green open
spaces, maintenance, connectivity; and, the city-wide issue of Sea level Rise and
Coastal Resilience.

Strategic Action Plan 2030
Page 2 of 2
The Plan is a culmination of a 15-month planning process led by City staff,
supported by the Work Program Architects (WPA) consultant team, and guided
by the RASAP 2030 Steering Committee. Public outreach consisted of monthly
Steering Committee meetings, stakeholder interviews, presentations to civic
groups/professional organizations, two public workshops, and two online surveys
engaging over 3,000 people. A web page was created,
www.VBqov.com/resortsga to aid in disseminating information to the public with
regard to meetings and information sharing. Emphasis was given to note that
renderings in the Plan are conceptual to solicit public input only and that each
action item will have its own public process. Specifically, the Rudee Loop portion
of the plan calls for open space in the area but noting that the properties are
zoned for mixed-use and that development of the properties owned by the city
with should take into consideration park features and amenities highlighted in the
plan.
• Recommendations:
Staff recommends approval. The Planning Commission placed this item on the
Consent Agenda at its meeting on February 12, 2020, passing the item by a vote
of 9-0.

City of
Virginia Beach
Request
An Ordinance to Adopt and Incorporate into the Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan the Virginia Beach Resort Area
Strategic Action Plan 2030 which will supersede the Virginia Beach Resort Area Strategic Action Plan 2008 and to Amend
Sections 1.1 (Planning Areas Planned Land Use Map), 1.2 (Urban Areas) Strategic Growth Area Locator Map, and text
pertaining to the Resort Strategic Growth Area.
Summary of Request
• In 2008, the City of Virginia Beach adopted the "Resort Area Strategic Action Plan." Since 2008, a great deal of
development has occurred and the need to adapt to changing lifestyles and preferences persists. Therefore, City
and Resort Area leadership have agreed that it is time to refresh goals and initiatives, establish priorities and
review the existing resort area boundaries.The Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) goals are to reflect
existing conditions with residential and commercial development, establish a transparent, inclusive,
comprehensive process that defines and prioritizes the goals of the stakeholders and the City to produce a plan
that has clear, measurable initiatives for implementation.
• The planning process kicked off in late 2018 and consisted of three phases (understanding, exploring/prioritizing
and deciding). The process was led by City Staff, supported by the Work Program Architects consultant team,
and guided by the RASAP Steering Committee.The first phase reviewed the 2008 Resort Area Strategic Action
Plan for a detailed understanding of the challenges, opportunities and goals of the stakeholders.The second
phase evaluated and prioritized feedback from phase 1 to establish development/design strategies and project
priorities. Lastly, the third phase narrowed the development strategies and prioritized projects to produce an
initial draft Resort Area Strategic Action Plan 2030.The public outreach consisted of monthly steering
committee meetings, stakeholder interviews, presentations to civic groups and professional organizations,two
public workshops with approximately 350 attendees, and two online surveys via publicinput.com with
approximately 2,600 participants.
• The resulting Plan is a strategic plan that sets goals for the next 10 years based on a clear vision established by
the Steering Committee and vetted through the three-part planning process and a series of public workshops
and surveys. Public engagement included participation by over 3,000 people, resulting in a clear set of priorities
to guide the Resort Area to 2030.The Resort Area Strategic Action Plan 2030 priority action items are: adopt the
best practices of a Central Management Entity, develop a comprehensive Mobility Plan, design and implement
Streetscape Improvements, enhance and develop connected Green/Open Spaces, design and construct a
Gateway at 21'Street that provides a sense of welcome and arrival, support Impactful Projects that benefit the
Resort Area and City of Virginia Beach, and support Residential and Mixed-Use development in the Resort Area.
• Based on stakeholders' concerns and input, the updated Plan places a strong focus on the provision of key
services such as transportation, parking, safety, beautification,green/open spaces, maintenance, connectivity,

and stormwater management. Although implementation of this Plan is largely dependent on private initiatives
and market forces, public projects can be phased strategically to incentivize private investment in the area.The
Plan divides priority projects into three separate phases: Short-Term projects (6 mo. - 2 yrs.), Mid-Term projects
(2 yrs. -5 yrs.) and Long-Term projects(6 yrs. - 10 yrs.).
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance for the adoption and incorporation into the Virginia Beach Comprehensive
Plan, the "Resort Area Strategic Action Plan 2030," which will supersede the Virginia Beach Resort Area Strategic Action
Plan 2008, and to amend sections 1.1 (Planning Areas Planned Land Use Map), 1.2 (Urban Areas) Strategic Growth Area
Locator Map, and text pertaining to the Resort Strategic Growth Area.

PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS
The following summarizes the general recommendations for the Resort SGA which calls for three
distinct areas The Resort Area Strategic Action Plan 2030 boundary includes multiple sub-districts.
Each of these districts has its own distinct character which,through additional placemaking efforts,
will be the key to a diverse resort area that has something for everyone to enjoy year-round.
1. 19th Street/Central Beach District A pedestrian scale,mixed use entertainment district that
connects the convention center with the heart of the beach.The former Dome Site provide:,

ViBe Creative District,the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art(MOCA)and 19th Street,
which is planned to be a key multimodal corridor.

great opportunity for mixed-use redevelopment that includes hotels,retail,restaurants,
business and residential uses that are compatible with the adjacent Seatack and Shadowlawn
neighborhoods. All development should be connected with a public walk that offers
recreational connections to Rudee Inlet and is integrated with future flood gates and barriers.
3. Laskin Gateway
Oceanfront Resort Area's established location for high end retail.The plan envisions a corridor
with .d' t tr, rtation. rd retail strategy that gets people wait of the nd

North End businesses and neighborhoods and the Hilltop commercial area to the west.
Linkhorn Bay is a beautiful tidal backdrop to this gateway.
4. Oceanfront Corridor includes Atlantic and Pacific Avenues. This is the main north-south
connector in the Resort Area and is the area where the majority of visitors stay and gather.
This corridor welcomes millions of people to Virginia Beach and must be a beautiful and
inviting place for pedestrians to shop and dine,as well as carry a significant amount of traffic.A
mobility plan and streetscape improvements are needed to accomplish these goals.

RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL - CONSENT
Mr. Weiner: Great, thank you. Next is item number six, the City of Virginia Beach. An
ordinance and incorporate into the Virginia Beach comprehensive plan, the
Virginia Beach area Strategic Action Plan 2030, which is supersedes the Virginia
Beach Resort Area, Strategic Action Plan of 2008 and to amend sections 1.1 and
Mrs. Warren is going to come up and read this into the record for us and tell us
about this.
Ms. Warren: Good afternoon Madam Chair, commissioners. Thank you for having me here
today. My name is Kathy Warren. I am the SGA manager for the Department of
Planning and Community Development. Today, as you have already read the
ordinance,we are requesting an ordinance to adopt and incorporate into the Virginia
Beach Comprehensive Plan the Virginia Beach Resort Area Strategic Action Plan
2030, which supersedes the Virginia Beach Resort Area Strategic Action Plan of
2008 and to amend sections 1.1 planning areas planned land use map 1.2 urban
areas strategic growth area locator map and text pertaining to the resort strategic
growth area. I'd like to briefly review the proposed priority items that the RASAP
Steering Committee has established as part of this process. They are: to adopt the
best practices of a central management entity, develop a comprehensive mobility
plan, design and implement streetscape improvements, enhance and develop
connected green and open spaces, design and construct a gateway at 21st street that
provides a sense of welcome and arrival, support impactful projects that benefit the
resort area as well as the City of Virginia Beach, and support residential and mixed
use development within the resort area. Just a few additional comments about the
process, this was a 15-month process with a Steering Committee that was in place
that represented all facets of the resort area. Our public engagement included two
workshops and two public input.com surveys; we were able to reach over 3,000
people with that public engagement process. And finally, one important point to
make note of,we showed conceptual renderings in the plan, one of Rudy Loop,one
of the Atlantic Avenue of what it could look like, and then one of the Gateway 21st
Street and we just want to reiterate that these are conceptual renderings that we
1
showed in order to generate input from the public to see what they liked and did
not like, and there will be a public process for each going forward. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Thank you. Okay,is there any opposition this being placed on the consent agenda?
Thank you, Madam Chair there are many items on the consent agenda are for short
term rental. The planning commission places the following applications for
conditional use permit for short term rental on the consent agendas. These
applications meet the applicable requirements for section 241.2 of the zoning
ordinance. Staff supports the applications therefore there's no opposition to the
request and these are items number 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,

Ms. Oliver: Yes.
Mr. Inman: I need a make a disclosure that at least one item on the consent agenda shows
financing by Town Bank. I serve on the advisory board for Virginia Beach Town
Bank, in that capacity I don't make any decisions on loans or merely an advisory

Ms. Wilson: Those items are 10, 11, 12 and 18.

Subject: Letter of Support for 2020 RASAP Plan
Dear Mayor Dyer and Members of City Council:
The Resort Advisory Commission (RAC) is excited to provide this letter of support for the 2030 Resort
Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP). The RASAP committee has undertaken this vital plan with a focus
on inclusiveness of all areas of the resort; stakeholders, business associations, neighborhood civic
leagues, MOCA, Virginia Aquarium, the VIBE district, well attended public meetings and a public survey
with over 3000 responses. The process was completed in an open and transparent manner with all
materials available online to the public throughout the process. This commission applauds the RASAP
committee's diligence in achieving a thoughtful well-rounded strategic plan emphasizing the
connectivity of our resort.
We would request your support and approval for the RASAP document to be used as a
blueprint/guideline for all city staff in their efforts to improve our resort area. There are two specific
items that will serve as the baseline for the success of the overall plan, and we would ask that you allow
city staff to move ahead immediately with planning and any necessary funding. Those are the Mobility
Study and the Central Management entity. Both will provide a framework for how we should operate
and what changes we need to make throughout the resort.
Thank you for your consideration and the RAC looks forward to assisting in the success of this plan.
Sincerely,
v

SEA LEVEL RISE&COASTAL RESILIENCE
Virginia Beach faces several challenges in being "� `
on the coast. The combination of accelerating
sea level rise and increased rainfall means that Virginia Beach Watersheds
flood waters need to be kept out, without
trapping rain water inside.
,...: 0011
The Virginia Beach Resort Area covers severalt4f1 Logend
watersheds, however, the majority of the resort ci.ox 4114
drains storm water out to Lynnhaven Inlet 0 ••••:•••
... i 4,40
through a series of pipes, culverts, creeks, and •--
lakes.As the sea level rises, draining the Resort .�, 1
Area through this system will take longer since
l i
14
11
much of the system will already be full of water
or closed off with a flood gate. An alternative \ ; ;' �,,,,.,�,
drainage system is a possibility that is being ;;'
studied, but would rely on pumping water from
the Resort Area out to the ocean. In either case, 11
slowing the movement of water from rooftops,
parking lots, and other impervious surfaces p"a`"""".'
will be critical to not overwhelming the ability SI/
of the storm water system to drain the Resort
Area. Storing runoff on-site or allowing it to be
absorbed into a natural system until a rain event
is over, then slowly releasing it into the storm
water system will allow the most critical public1 I t .
structures (such as roads)to be drained first. ��
