AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Confirming the Declaration of a Local Emergency Due to Tropical
Storm Isaias
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: State law authorizes the local director of emergency services to
declare the existence of a local emergency. City Code § 2-411 provides that the City
Manager is the City's Director of Emergency Management. On August 3, 2020,
effective at 6:00 p.m., the City Manager issued a declaration of local emergency in
response to the potential damage caused by Tropical Storm Isaias. The City Manager's
declaration authorized City agencies to take all reasonable actions necessary to protect
the health and safety of Virginia Beach citizens from the damaging effects of Tropical
Storm Isaias. The declaration of emergency concluded on August 5, 2020 at 8:00 a.m.
• Considerations: Virginia Code § 44-146.21 requires that the City Council
confirm the declaration of local emergency at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The
attached ordinance confirms the declaration and ends it, effective August 5, 2020 at
8:00 a.m.
• Public Information: This ordinance will be advertised in the same manner as
other Council agenda items.
• Attachments: Ordinance and Declaration of Local Emergency
Recommended Action: Approval

DECLARATION OF LOCAL EMERGENCY
I, the undersigned, as Director of Emergency Management for the City of
Virginia Beach, find the imminent threat of severe wind, heavy rain and flooding
forecasted and the very real possibility of power outages, along with the loss or
interruption of vital City services posed by Tropical Storm Isaias to be of sufficient
severity and magnitude to warrant coordinated local government action to prevent
or alleviate any potential damage, loss, hardship or suffering. Therefore, pursuant
to Code of Virginia § 44-146.21, as amended, I hereby declare the existence of a
Local Emergency in the City of Virginia Beach beginning August 3, 2020 at
1800 hours.
In accordance with this Declaration, the Office of Emergency Management
and all other appropriate City agencies are hereby vested with, and authorized to
carry out,all powers,duties,and functions prescribed by State and local laws,rules,
regulations,and plans as may be necessary to adequately and appropriately respond
to said Local Emergency.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: A Resolution to Ratify the Action of the Mayor, City Manager, and Director of
Finance in the Execution of a CARES Act Funding Certificate on Behalf of the City
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: The City received notice from the Commonwealth that there is a
second and final round of allocation to localities of CARES Act funding. This round
provides $39,258,497. As was required in the first round, the Commonwealth requires a
certificate to be executed on behalf of the City by its chief financial officer (Director of
Finance), chief administrative officer (City Manager), and chief elected officer (Mayor).
The requirements for use of such funds are that the costs: (i) are necessary expenditures
incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to COVID-19; (ii) were not
accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020; and (iii) were
incurred during the period that begins on March 1 , 2020 and ends on December 30, 2020.
The CARES Act funds may not be used to cover revenue shortfalls.
The Commonwealth required the certificate to be submitted by August 10, but the
previously scheduled City Council meeting on August 4th was cancelled because of
Tropical Storm Isaias. Because the certificate is substantially the same as the previous
certificate for CARES Act funding, the Mayor, the City Manager, and the Director of
Finance executed the certificate prior to the Commonwealth's deadline, so this ratification
is necessary to confirm the actions of these officers on behalf of the City.
• Considerations: The attached resolution ratifies the execution of the certificate by
the Mayor, the City Manager, and the Director of Finance. The resolution also authorizes
the City Manager to complete any required survey, which was noted without substantive
detail in the Memorandum from the Secretary of Finance. The resolution further directs
the City Manager to prepare a detailed plan for the expenditure of such funds within 30
days of adoption.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal City
Council agenda process.
• Attachments: Resolution, July 28, 2020 Memorandum from Secretary of Finance;

30 CARES Act funding which was executed on May 19, 2020 following the City Council's
31 adoption of a resolution on the same day authorizing execution;
32
33 WHEREAS, due to the Commonwealth's deadline, the Tropical Storm cancelation,
34 and the similarity of certificates, the Mayor, the City Manager, and the Director of Finance
35 executed the certificate on August 3rd, and this ratification is necessary to confirm the
36 actions of these officers on behalf of the City.

45 Manager shall also complete the survey or similar requirement for the disbursal of CARES
46 Act funding required by the Commonwealth.
47
48 The City Manager is further directed to provide to the City Council a detailed plan
49 for the expenditure of such funds within 30 days of adoption of this Resolution.

allocations to local governments from the federal Coronavirus Relief Fund(CRF)authorized
pursuant to the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act(CARES Act). On
June 1,2020,each locality received its share of the first half,or fifty(50)percent,of the
locally-based allocations(not including Fairfax County that received its funds directly).
While the federal CARES Act does not require that states distribute funding to local
governments with populations less than 500,000 residents,the Governor recognizes that
localities continue to experience the same COVID-19 related expenses as the Commonwealth.
Therefore, the Governor recently announced the second and fmal round to allocate the
remaining fifty(50)percent of the locally-based allocations from the CRF to local
governments.When completed,the state will have distributed 100 percent of the local
allocations the Commonwealth received under the CARES Act providing a total of$1.3 billion
for local governments.
Just like the first round,the second round will be based on population. Consequently,the
second round of allocations will be for the same amount that you received in the first round on
June 1,2020. In order to receive the second allocation,localities are required to submit a new
certification form and complete an online survey regarding the use of the CRF funds.
As soon as these two documents are fully completed and submitted,the Department of
Accounts will initiate the transfer of funds to the local Treasurer. Localities may expect to
receive the transfer by the state Comptroller within five business days following confirmation
of receipt of these completed documents.

Guidance
It is extremely important for you to know that all of the same conditions that existed for the first
round of CRF allocations continue for the second round of allocations. To that end, I encourage
you to refer to my May 12, 2020, memorandum and to the federal guidance and frequently asked
questions located at: https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/cares/state-and-local-governments
This information is routinely updated and has been revised several times since my May 12, 2020,
memorandum. Compliance with the federal guidance is your responsibility and failure to do so
could result in disallowed expenses requiring you to repay the associated funds to the federal
government. As stated previously, if you fail to repay any funds spent for nonqualifying expenses
as required by the federal government,the state Comptroller will recover such amounts from
future state payments to your locality via the State Aid Intercept Program.
In addition to the revised federal guidance, on July 2, 2020,the U.S. Treasury's Office of the
Inspector General issued information related to reporting and audit requirements that had not
been published at the time of my original communication to you. Information regarding the audit
and reporting requirements can be found at the same link provided above. Further, the State
Comptroller's office has subrecipient monitoring responsibilities that will necessitate evaluation
and additional correspondence with localities regarding the use of funds.
As a reminder,the overarching federal guidance states that these funds must be used for
qualifying expenses of state and local governments. Specifically, the CARES Act provides that
payments from the CRF only may be used to cover costs that:
1. are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to
the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19);
2. were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 (the
date of enactment of the CARES Act) for the State or government; and
3. were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on December 30,
2020.
The federal guidance continues to state that the CRF funds can be used only for the direct costs
associated with the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and cannot be used to address revenue
shortfalls. State and local government officials have requested that this restriction be lifted or that
additional federal funds be provided to address the loss of state and local revenue. To date, no
action has been taken by Congress to allow that flexibility or to provide funding for that purpose.
CRF funds should be considered "one time" monies and should not be used for ongoing services
and/or base operations. Because the funds must be expended by December 30, localities are
advised not to create services with expenses beyond that period. Any expenses beyond December
30, 2020,must be paid entirely by the locality from local funds.

Allocation of CRF Funds to Localities
The remaining fifty(50)percent of the locally-based allocations will be distributed to counties
and cities by the Department of Accounts(DOA) after receipt from the locality of a new, signed
certification form and after completion of a survey on the locality's actual and planned uses of
the CRF funds. This distribution will be made to the local treasurer in the same manner that the
first round of funds were distributed within five business days following receipt of the completed
documents.
Each locality's allocation will be based on the proportion that the locality's population represents
of the statewide total population. Appendix A reflects the population used by U.S. Treasury to
allocate CRF funds to the states. This population data is the basis for determining the allocations
to each locality.
This table also reflects each locality's share of the remaining distribution based on the population
data displayed. Please note that the population data for each county includes the populations of
the towns within its borders. Consequently, the allocation indicated for each county includes any
allocations based on residents that live in the towns located within that county.
Requirements: Survey on the Use of Funds and Certifications
General
The amounts listed in Appendix A reflect the funds that will be transferred to each locality after:
1. completion of an online survey located at: (NOTE: the link to this survey will be provided
by separate communication later this week), and
2. receipt of a certification form(Appendix D) from the locality signed by the chief
executive officer, the chief financial officer(Treasurer), and the chief elected officer.
Before signing the certification, I recommend that you read and understand the federal guidance
and the frequently asked questions contained in Appendix B and Appendix C,respectively. The
most recent information on this guidance and the frequently asked questions can be obtained at:
https://home.treasurv.gov/policy-issues/cares/state-and-local-governments
Please note that the certification statement includes an acknowledgment that you may be required
to return funds to the federal government if it is determined that those funds were spent for
purposes that do not qualify. Since these funds are being provided to you "up front" rather than
on a reimbursement basis, it is important for you to understand that the burden of ensuring that all
CRF funds are spent for qualifying purposes falls to the local government.
You are responsible for maintaining all necessary documentation to ensure compliance with the
federal requirements. The State Comptroller is responsible for all subrecipient monitoring and
may require additional information in the future from each locality to address that responsibility.
If the federal government determines that you have used CRF funds for purposes that do not
qualify, you must return those funds to the state promptly so that they may be returned to the
federal government. As a condition of receiving CRF funds, you are agreeing that the state can
use state aid intercept to recover any funds necessary for expenses that were not for a qualifying
purpose or that were unexpended as of December 30, 2020.

For Counties Only
As previously stated, the population data for each county includes the populations of the towns
within its borders. Consequently, the allocation indicated for each county includes any allocations
based on residents that live in the towns located within that county.
Counties must ensure that an equitable share of the CRF funds it receives are shared with and
granted to each town within its jurisdiction. Just as with the funds retained by the county,the funds
granted to towns must be spent in accordance with the same requirements and the same
documentation must be retained for audit purposes. The county issuing the grant is responsible for
the ensuring compliance with each town's documentation requirements and must ensure that the
use of the funds meets the requirements set forth by the federal government.
Completion of Survey
The Commonwealth has partnered with Accenture to create a survey to collect data on how each
locality has used or plans to use its allocation of CRF funds. The survey instrument,which must be
completed online, will be made available later this week by separate communication. This
communication will include instructions regarding access to and completion of the survey. For
questions about completion of the survey,please contact Jason Saunders, General Government
Coordinator, Department of Planning and Budget, at jason.saunders@dpb.virginia.gov.
We are requesting that this survey be completed no later than 5:00pm,Monday,August 10,2020,
so that we may provide a report on the use of the CRF by locality to the General Assembly when it
convenes for a special session beginning on August 18, 2020. For surveys that are not received by
this due date,this report will reflect that the survey results were not received from that locality by
the requested due date. More importantly, the survey must be completed, along with submission of
the certification form, in order to receive the second distribution of CRF funds.
Submission of Certification
The certification in Appendix D contains more specific details on the responsibilities of the local
governing body. A fillable .pdf form can be downloaded from the Secretary of Finance's Website
under"Recent News" at: http://finance.virginia.gov/
The signed certification form should be submitted no later than August 10, 2020, to the

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Authorize the Use of CARES Act Funding to Provide Hazard Pay
and Volunteer Recognition and to Transfer Funds to Various Departments
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
■ Background: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act
of 2020 provides funding for several different programs to address the COVID-19
pandemic. On July 7, 2020, City Council appropriated $39.3 million in CARES Act
Funding to the City's Operating Budget. Included within this appropriation, is a $10 million
reserve that was set aside for future expenditures as deemed appropriate by City Council.
Included within the guidelines of allowable expenditures under the CARES Act is hazard
pay for employees that provide substantial in-person services that increases risk of
exposure to COVID-19. These positions either perform services to mitigate or respond to
the COVID-19 public health emergency, work directly with patients/clients to provide
services such as physical and mental health services, or work directly with clients to
provide federal and state benefits, and/or protective services, such as child protective
services. Eligible employees work in a face-to-face capacity to provide services and are
not working remotely/teleworking. In addition, many of the employees identified for hazard
pay did not receive the 12 weeks of childcare leave mandated for other employees by the
Families First Coronavirus Response Act. The hazard-pay-eligible employees were only
allowed up to two weeks of Public Health Emergency Leave due to the nature of their
positions.
City staff has identified approximately 2,273 employees within public safety departments,
the Department of Health, and the Department of Human Services that satisfy the hazard
pay criteria. The total amount of hazard pay for these positions would be no more than
$4,521,300. The employees identified in Health and Human Services departments are
based on initial estimates of qualified positions provided by the departments and are
subject to change after further reviews to ensure compliance with the CARES Act. Eligible
sworn public safety officials will be given between $1,000 and $2,000 in hazard pay
depending on rank, and those in Health and Human Services will be given $1,500. This
payment will be given in a lump sum amount in either August or September. The
estimated number of positions from each department and hazard pay amount can be
found on the attachment document (Exhibit A). Funding for these payments will be
supported by a transfer in the amount needed to each department from the $10 million
reserve established by the Council.
In addition to City staff, the City Council wishes to recognize the efforts of the volunteer
emergency medical services. These volunteers have faced similar risks in their duties,
and $60,000 in funding is being made available for volunteer recognition activities through
the Volunteer Rescue Squads to be coordinated by the Office of Volunteer Resources
and/or the Department of Emergency Medical Services. This funding will also come from
the $10 million reserve established by Council.
This item was originally scheduled for the August 4, 2020 City Council meeting, but due
to Tropical Storm Isaias, that meeting was cancelled.
■ Considerations: Exhibit A provides approximate amounts of funds to be
transferred to each department; however, if further review of the duties of the positions
deems the position would not be eligible for CARES Act funding, such funds may be
retained within the CARES Act reserve for future use as determined by the City Council.
■ Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal City
Council agenda process.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 2-85 of the City Code Regarding Accrual of
Leave by Part-Time Employees
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: Section 2-85(b) of the City Code provides for leave accrual for
part-time employees. In the FY2021 Budget Package, the City Council adopted a
series of ordinances and resolutions, and one item included an amendment of Section
2-85(b) to increase part-time leave accrual from 48 hours to 54 hours. This document
was inadvertently formatted as a resolution when it should have been an ordinance.
There was another portion of the resolution in the Budget Package that amended
Section 2-85(b), which concerned the paid time off (PTO) accrual for hybrid employees.
That policy update did not require an ordinance, and it has been implemented in
accordance with the intent of Council.
This item was originally scheduled for the August 4, 2020 City Council meeting, but due
to Tropical Storm Isaias, that meeting was cancelled.
• Considerations: The operative content of the attached ordinance is identical to
the content approved by the City Council on May 12, 2020, except that it is titled as an
ordinance and includes the phrase "be it ordained." This action is necessary to
effectively enact the intent of City Council to increase the part-time leave accrual limit
from 48 hours to 54 hours.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

It is further expressly understood and agreed that the Grantee agrees to

manner provided by law for the collection of local or state taxes; may require the
Grantee to remove the Temporary Encroachment; and pending such removal, the City

Grantee; and if such removal shall not be made within the time ordered hereinabove by
this Agreement, the City may impose a penalty in the sum of One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) per day for each and every day that the Temporary Encroachment is allowed

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend the Adopted FY 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program
Project Description and Scope for CIP #9-068 Dome Site Development
Acquisition to Authorize the Acquisition of Property by the City of Virginia Beach
Development Authority
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: On November 19, 2019, the City Council enacted a resolution that
authorized the execution of the Dome Site Development Agreement. This same action
established a new capital project, CIP #9-068 Dome Site Development Acquisition, and
appropriated $9 million to the new project. This capital project is intended to allow the
purchase of real property for the Dome Project within the vicinity of the Dome Site as
needed and from willing sellers during the planning of the Dome Site Project. The
acquisition of properties may become necessary as the City and the Developer determine
where best to locate the parking, entertainment venue, surf park, and other elements of
the vision for what will become Atlantic Park.
While the capital project was authorized in November 2019, the actual project page first
appeared in the FY 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program. The "Description and Scope"
of the Project Page includes reference to the City, but it is not clear as to whether the City
has to be the purchaser of properties for the Dome Project. The Development Agreement
is structured to have the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority (the "VBDA") be
the owner of the real property within the Project boundaries. Accordingly, to be consistent
with the Development Agreement, the description and scope of CIP #9-068 requires
amendment to allow the funds appropriated in the CIP be made available to the VBDA
for the purpose of acquiring property.
This item was originally scheduled for the August 4, 2020 City Council meeting, but due
to Tropical Storm Isaias, that meeting was cancelled.
• Considerations: The purpose of this action is to avoid duplicative transactions
wherein the City purchases property and, subsequently, transfers the property to the
VBDA. The VBDA and City Council approvals of the Development Agreement each
require the City Manager to consult with City Council prior to any purchase of property
using CIP #9-068.
• Public Information: Normal City Council agenda process.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate $300,000 from the Landmark Foundation and to
Reauthorize Grant-Funded Positions for the Baby Care Program
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: The Virginia Beach Baby Care Program (the "Program") began in FY 2014-15
with an initial donation of $900,000 from the Landmark Foundation. The original grant was
intended to fund the program for three years and was received by the City in three equal payments
of $300,000 in FY 2014-15, FY 2015-16, and FY 2016-17. To support the Program, 5.76 FTEs
were established in the Health Department's Operating Budget, and these positions were funded
utilizing the donation funding. Due to consistent position vacancies within the Program, the initial
donation amount stretched through FY 2019-20. At the end of FY 2019-20, the Program had only
$28,746 in funding remaining.
The Program provides home visitation by Registered Nurses for families that are expecting and
with young children up to age two, and participation in the Program is open to Virginia Beach
residents who qualify for Medicaid. Specially trained Baby Care nurses provide behavioral risk
screening, comprehensive case management services, and expanded prenatal services to
improve the medical, developmental, and health outcomes for expectant mothers and their
babies.
To support this program, five (5.0) FTEs are needed within the Health Department. These
positions include one full-time nurse supervisor, two full-time registered nurses, one full-time
administrative staff member, one part-time (0.5 FTE) administrative staff member, and one part-
time (0.5 FTE) outreach worker.
This item was originally scheduled for the August 4, 2020 City Council meeting, but due to Tropical
Storm Isaias, that meeting was cancelled.
• Considerations: The Program completed a successful review with the Landmark Foundation
in Fall 2019 and was awarded an additional $300,000 on June 30, 2020 to continue the program
in FY 2020-21. The Landmark Foundation remains supportive of the program for future funding
renewal opportunities. There is no local match requirement for this grant. If the grant does not
continue after FY 2020-21, the City is not obligated to support this program, and the attached
ordinance expressly provides that these grant-funded positions are contingent upon future grant
funding.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.

Recommended Action: Approval

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funds from the Virginia Tourism
Corporation for Local Advertising and Marketing Efforts
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: The Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) has been
awarded a $10,000 marketing grant from the Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) to
advertise the "Together At Last"joint marketing campaign. This is a VTC initiative called
the WanderLove Recovery Grant Program. Norfolk and Virginia Beach joined forces to
launch "Together At Last," a cooperative marketing initiative that provides visitors with
easy access to a wide variety of savings at local businesses in both destinations.
Currently this campaign is being advertised out-of-market; however, if this grant is
accepted and appropriated, the CVB will move forward with advertising this marketing
initiative locally. Visit Norfolk was awarded $10,000 for the same local initiative.
• Considerations: This funding will be spent on media in the local market through
October. This will assist in the recovery efforts for local business and will help generate
discretionary local spending by residents.
In addition, since the campaign launched out of market in June 2020, it has generated
21,000 website visits and 1,037 value pass sign-ups. Media coverage for this campaign
to date has included The Virginian-Pilot, MSN, Meetings Today, Daily Press and Forbes.
A local funding match is not required; however, the grant requires an in-kind contribution
which includes the estimated value of the City's owned and earned media and/or the
value of current ad placements. The value of the City's paid media is $735,000, which
satisfies the in-kind requirement.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council agenda process.
• Recommendation: Adopt the attached ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funds from the National Park Service
Historic Preservation Fund and to Transfer Funds Within the FY 2020-21
Operating Budget for a Historical Survey
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: The National Park Service (NPS), a bureau of the U.S.
Department of the Interior, administers the Historic Preservation Fund to provide grants
to state and tribal historic preservation offices and to Certified Local Governments
(CLG). The purpose of these grants is to survey historic resources and prepare
nominations for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The City of
Virginia Beach is a CLG and is therefore eligible to apply for the Historic Preservation
Fund grants. The objective of the Historic Preservation Fund's Underrepresented
Communities Grant Program is to diversify the survey, inventory, and designation of
historic properties associated with communities currently underrepresented in the
NRHP. Historically African American communities are an underrepresented community
category.
The 2018 Historic Architectural Resource Survey Update: City of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, Northern Half identified four historically African American communities as
potentially eligible for NRHP listing. The Department of Planning and Community
Development contacted the associated civic leagues to determine interest in pursuing
nomination of these communities to the NRHP. Interest was received from the Seatack
and L & J Gardens Civic Leagues. The Virginia State Review Board formally determined
that each of these neighborhoods was eligible for listing in the NRHP in December
2019. Following this confirmation, the City submitted a grant application to the NPS for
the federal FY 2019 Underrepresented Communities Grant Program, the availability of
which had been extended by Congress until September 30, 2020.
• Considerations: Initially, this award was to be announced in FY 2020. However,
due to the pandemic, the NPS delayed its award process by several months. In July, the
Department of Planning and Community Development received notification that the
City's application had been successful and a grant award of $47,187 was forthcoming.
This grant requires a local match of $28,312. As this award was expected to be issued
in FY 2020, there are no funds available in the Department of Planning and Community
Development for this match. Therefore, the City will transfer $28,312 from the Reserve
for Contingencies to the Department of Planning and Community Development.
The total grant funds of $75,499 will primarily be used to survey resources in the two
historically African American neighborhoods of Seatack and L & J Gardens and to
prepare and submit nominations for listing of each of these communities as historic
districts in the NRHP. These designations are honorary in nature and place no land use
or design restrictions on the properties.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council Agenda process. A press release from NPS was issued naming the City of
Virginia Beach as one of 18 recipients of FY2019 Underrepresented Community grants
on July 16. This release was also distributed by the City's Communications Office. A
separate notification of the grant was included in the Friday packet as part of the
Manager's Update on July 10, 2020.

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate Funds from the Virginia Department of
Historic Resources and to Transfer Funds for the Preparation and Publication of Historic
District Design Review Guidelines
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: The Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR), State
Historic Preservation Office, administers the U.S. Department of the Interior's Historic
Preservation Fund (HPF) in cooperation with the National Park Service. Under this HPF
program, at least ten percent of Virginia's annual HPF awards must be designated as
pass-through funding to Certified Local Governments (CLG). The City of Virginia Beach
is a CLG and therefore eligible to apply for these funds, which the Department of
Planning and Community Development did for the FY 2020-21 cycle.
One area of funding for DHR's CLG grant is the preparation and publication of design
review guidelines for local historic districts. These guidelines are intended to expand
and refine general review guidelines for proposed actions in historic districts that are
found in the locality's ordinance. For the City of Virginia Beach, this can be found in the
Code of Ordinances, Appendix A — "Zoning Ordinance," Article 13, "Historic and Cultural
District" (Sections 1300-1307). There are currently 16 Historic and Cultural District
zoning overlay areas in Virginia Beach. A map of these districts is attached.
The Department of Planning and Community Development has received notification that
a CLG Grant Program award in the amount of $22,500 in federal funds has been
awarded to the City of Virginia Beach. These funds will primarily be used to develop,
revise, and update Design Standards and Review Guidelines for Virginia Beach's
Historic and Cultural Districts. Design standards and review guidelines are for the use of
property owners and Historic Review Board members in the design review process and
must substantially conform to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
Those standards are a series of concepts about maintaining, repairing, and replacing
historic materials, as well as designing new additions or making alterations. Guidelines
offer general design and technical recommendations to assist in applying the standards
to a specific property.
• Considerations: A local match of $22,500 is required for this grant. There are
funds available in the Department of Planning and Community Development's FY 2020-
21 Operating Budget to provide this match.
• Public Information: Public information will be provided through the normal
Council Agenda process. Notification of this award was included in the Friday Packet
Manager's Update on July 10, 2020.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance to Accept and Appropriate CARES Act Funding from the Virginia
Department of Elections for Eligible Election Expenses
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: On June 9, 2020, the Virginia Department of Elections announced
the distribution of $9 million in Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES)
Act funding for the 2020 Presidential Election. This allocation was based on the number
of registered voters in each locality. The funding allocated to the City is $201,803.
CARES Act funding may only be used for allowable expenses. These costs include any
expenditures related to the protection of the health and safety of poll workers, staff, and
voters during the federal election as well as those resulting from anticipated increased
demand for absentee ballots by mail costs, equipment, and temporary staff. Funds may
also be used to conduct voter outreach efforts and public service announcements.
• Considerations: The CARES Act funding must be used by November 30, 2020,
and all items must be paid for by December 31 , 2020. Funds may not be used for
expenses that would have been incurred regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic. There
is no local match required for these funds.
• Public Information: Public information will be coordinated through the normal
agenda process
• Recommendations: Adopt the attached ordinance.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: An Ordinance to Transfer Community Development Block Grant Funds and to
Accept and Appropriate CARES Act Funding to the Department of Housing and
Neighborhood Preservation for Housing Assistance during the COVID-19
Pandemic
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background: Due to regulatory changes, Federal Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds can now be used for emergency housing assistance for those
affected by COVID-19. A transfer of $1 ,021,040 will make additional funding available
for the Eviction Prevention Assistance Program that aids renters affected by COVID-19.
The majority of the funding to be transferred was previously set aside after Hurricane
Matthew for a disaster recovery program; however, to date these funds have not been
used and are now available to be reprogrammed for COVID-19 relief.
In addition to the transfer of CDBG funding, the Federal government has notified the City
of a second allocation of $1 ,389,918 through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security (CARES) Act, which is distributed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. These funds can be used to support individuals and families affected by
COVID-19 who are homeless or receiving homeless assistance.
• Considerations: The transfer of CDBG resources makes additional funding
available for the Eviction Prevention Assistance Program, and therefore allows maximum
available funding to assist those in acute need because of COVID-19. If the funds are not
needed for emergency assistance to individuals or families, the funds may be reprioritized

ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR
COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
June 9,2020
The Honorable Bobby Dyer
Mayor of Virginia Beach
2401 Courthouse Drive
Building 1
Virginia Beach,VA 23456-9120
Dear Mayor Dyer:
I am pleased to inform you of the second allocation of Emergency Solutions Grants(ESG)
Program funds HUD is awarding to your jurisdiction in the amount of$1,389,918,as authorized by
the Coronavirus Aid,Relief, and Economic Security Act(CARES Act),Public Law 116-136.
These special ESG-CV funds are to be used to prevent,prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus
pandemic(COVID-19)among individuals and families who are homeless or receiving homeless
assistance; and to support additional homeless assistance and homelessness prevention activities to
mitigate the impacts of COVID-19.
President Trump signed the CARES Act on March 27,2020 to help the Nation respond to the
coronavirus outbreak.The CARES Act made available an additional$4 billion in ESG-CV funds to
supplement the Fiscal Year(FY)2020 ESG funding provided under the Further Consolidated
Appropriations Act,2020(Public Law 116-94). Of this amount,the Department previously
allocated$1 billion for ESG-CV grants based on the FY 2020 ESG formula and set aside$40
million for technical assistance.
An additional$2.96 billion in funding for ESG-CV grants is now being allocated directly to
States or units of local government by a separate formula developed by the Secretary. The formula
approved by the Secretary includes variables that quantify the population currently experiencing and
at risk of homelessness, including:
• Total Homeless Population
• Unsheltered Homeless Population
• Total Very Low Income(VLI)Renters
• VLI Renters that are Overcrowded or without a Kitchen or Plumbing
The variables were further weighted to adjust for fair market rents. HUD's formula methodology
for this second allocation can be found at
https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/CPD/documents/ESG CARES Act Round 2 Allocation Metho
dology rev.pdf
www.hud.gov espanoLhud.gov
2
As with the first allocation,this second allocation of ESG-CV funds is subject to the
following flexibilities and conditions provided by the CARES Act:
• The funds may be used to cover or reimburse allowable costs incurred by a State or
locality before the award of funding(including prior to the signing of the CARES Act)to
prevent,prepare for, and respond to COVID-19;
• The funds are not subject to the spending cap on emergency shelter and outreach under 24
CFR 576.100(b)(1);
• Up to 10 percent of funds may be used for administrative costs, as opposed to 7.5 percent
as provided by 24 CFR 576.108(a);
• The funds are exempt from the ESG match requirements,including 24 CFR 576.201;
• The funds are not subject to the consultation and citizen participation requirements that
otherwise apply to the Emergency Solutions Grants,however each recipient must publish
how its allocation has and will be used,at a minimum, on the Internet at the appropriate
Government web site or through other electronic media;
• The funds may be used to provide homelessness prevention assistance(as authorized
under 24 CFR 576.103 or subsequent HUD notices)to any individual or family who does
not have income higher than HUD's Very Low-Income Limit for the area and meets the
criteria in paragraphs(1)(ii)and(1)(iii)of the"at risk of homelessness"definition in 24
CFR 576.3;
• That recipients may deviate from applicable procurement standards when using these
funds to procure goods and services to prevent,prepare for, and respond to coronavirus,
notwithstanding 24 CFR 576.407(f)and 2 CFR 200.317-200.326;
• While we encourage you to offer treatment and supportive services when necessary to
assist vulnerable homeless populations,individuals and families experiencing
homelessness must not be required to receive treatment or perform any other prerequisite
activities as a condition for receiving shelter,housing,or other services for which these
funds are used,notwithstanding 24 CFR 576.401(e).
In addition,the Act authorizes the Secretary to grant waivers of and specify alternative
requirements for statutes and regulations the Secretary administers in connection with the use of
ESG funds(except for requirements related to fair housing,nondiscrimination, labor standards, and
the environment). These waivers and alternative requirements can be issued when necessary to
expedite and facilitate the use of funds to prevent,prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. HUD
has made available the following waivers that are applicable to ESG-CV funding:
• CPD Memo: Availability of Additional Waivers for CPD Grant Programs to Prevent the
Spread of COVID-19 and Mitigate Economic Impacts Caused by COVID-19(5/22/2020)
o Waiver Applicability to ESG-CV-Made all ESG waivers provided in 3/31/2020
memo applicable to ESG-CV
3
o Housing Stability Case Management—Original waiver(see below) is extended an
additional 3 months beginning on the date of the memorandum(5/22/2020)
• CPD Memo: Availability of Waivers of CPD Grant Program and Consolidated Plan
Requirements to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 and Mitigate Economic Impacts
Caused by COVID-19 for CoC, ESG, and HOPWA(3/31/2020)
o HMIS Lead Activities-Allows any recipient to use ESG funds to pay costs of
upgrading or enhancing its local HMIS to incorporate data on ESG Program
participants and ESG activities related to COVID-19
o Re-evaluations for Homelessness Prevention Assistance-For up to the 2-year
period beginning on the date of the waiver memorandum(3/31/2020),the required
frequency of re-evaluations for homelessness prevention assistance under section
576.401(b)is waived
o Housing Stability Case Management-For the 2-month period beginning on the date
of the waiver memorandum(3/31/2020),the required frequency of housing stability
case management for homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing assistance is
waived
o Restriction of Rental Assistance to Units At or Below FMR-For the 6-month
period beginning on the date of the waiver memorandum(3/31/2020),the FMR
restriction is waived for any individual or family receiving Rapid Re-housing or
Homelessness Prevention assistance who executes a lease for a unit
The Department is developing a notice that will further lay out the CARES Act provisions and
other waivers and requirements to enable swift implementation of ESG-CV grants. This notice and
any subsequent notices of waivers and alternative requirements will be made available on HUD's
website and distributed to recipients. The Department will also support recipients with technical
assistance.
As your jurisdiction continues to develop its plan to use these grant funds, HUD encourages
approaches that prioritize the unique needs of persons experiencing homelessness and the
development of partnerships between all levels of government and the private for-profit and non-
profit sectors. Your jurisdiction should coordinate with State and local health authorities as you
support state or local pandemic response. HUD encourages you to share successes that may help
other recipients. Like other supplemental funding, ESG-CV grants are subject to oversight and
tracking. We look forward to working with you to achieve the best possible outcomes for people
experiencing and at risk of homelessness and to prevent fraud,waste, and abuse.
Importantly,proper reporting in the Integrated Disbursement and Information System(IDIS)
and Homeless Management Information Systems(HMIS)is critical to ensuring recipients are
complying with program requirements and policies,providing demographic and income
information about the persons who benefit from funded activities, and allowing HUD to monitor
recipients. Your jurisdiction's ongoing attention is essential to ensuring complete and accurate
reporting of performance measurement data.
4
All ESG recipients must ensure they maintain active Dun and Bradstreet Numbering System
(DUNS)numbers in the System for Award Management(SAM)system. Entities must have an
active and unexpired DUNS before execution of grant agreements to avoid delays in the obligation
of funds which will delay your ability to drawdown funds in IDIS. Recipients are required to
maintain an active SAMs registration by re-activating their DUNS number annually in the SAM
system for the entire drawdown period of their grants. DUNS numbers can be registered and
renewed each year at the following website: https://www.sam.gov/SAM/.
HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development(CPD) is looking forward to
working with your jurisdiction to successfully meet the urgent and complex challenges faced by our
communities. If you or your staff have questions,please contact your local CPD Field Office
Director or CPDOuestionsAnswered@,hud.gov.

John Gibbs

ITEM: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH [Applicant & Property Owner] Special Exception
for Alternative Compliance (Recurring Outdoor Assembly Use & Open-Air
Market Special Events) for the property located South of 264, West of Parks
Avenue, and slightly East of Parks Avenue, North of 18th Street, West of
Washington Avenue, North of 17th Street, East of N. Birdneck Road (GPINs
2417661204, 2417866932, 2417778217, 2417765489). COUNCIL DISTRICT —
BEACH
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background:
The Virginia Beach Convention Center (VBCC) and Virginia Beach Sports Center
(VBSC) often utilize outdoor plazas and open areas on the campus in conjunction
with the events taking place inside. Open-Air Markets, including food trucks, and
outdoor Assembly Uses with stages, tents, and various displays will be temporarily
deployed on an event-by-event basis. Typically, each special event requires its
own permit, and the number of events that can take place annually is limited.
Activities involving Assembly Uses and Open-Air Markets that are recurring or
ongoing are regulated by a Conditional Use Permit, but the nature of these
activities is consistent. In order to allow the rapidly changing and diverse set-ups
to occur on a continual basis without additional administrative approvals, the VBCC
and VBSC are requesting a Special Exception for Alternative Compliance. Special
events that include temporary road closures in and around the VBCC and the
VBSC campus will continue to follow the special events permitting application and
review process.
■ Considerations:
Section 7.3.3 of the Form-Based Code provides the `Review Standards' for
Alternative Compliance applications, noting that the City Council shall consider the
extent to which the proposal, taken as a whole, satisfies the standards. Staff
determined and the Planning Commission concurs that the proposal meets these
standards and recommends approval of this request. 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 request.
• Recommendation:
Planning Commission recommended this item for approval on the Consent Agenda
on June 24, 2020. Due to an advertising error, the item is rescheduled for the
City of Virginia Beach
Page 2 of 2
August 18, 2020 joint session with Planning Commission and City Council. The
recommendation for approval is subject to the conditions below.
1 . Concerts and amplified sound shall operate no more than two days per week
and shall not exceed four hours in one 24-hour period. The concerts and
amplified sounds shall end by 11:00 p.m., except for 10 nights per year during
which concerts and amplified sound may continue until midnight.
2. Festivals shall operate no more than three days per week and not exceed ten
hours in one 24-hour period. The festival shall end by 11 :00 p.m.
3. Indoor event overflow shall not exceed 12 hours in one 24-hour period. The
event overflow shall end by 11:00 p.m.
4. Fire hydrants or fire department connections shall not be blocked or obstructed
at any time. A minimum 12-foot-wide path shall be maintained for emergency
access.
5. Temporary light towers shall not operate past 2:00 a.m.
6. Portable restrooms shall be removed from the site as soon as logistically
possible upon the completion of any event.
7. When the Open-Air Market is operational, no less than one trash receptacle
per 1,000 feet of sales area shall be available for use and emptied regularly so
that litter and debris does not accumulate on site.
8. Open-Air Market operational hours shall be restricted to 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
9. The Open-Air Market operations shall not interfere with the reasonable use and
enjoyment of neighboring properties by reason of excessive noise, traffic, or
overflow parking.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• In July 2018, the Virginia Beach Sports Center was approved by City Council as a Special Exception for Alternative
Compliance.The new facility is scheduled to open in November 2020.
• The nature of the programming and events that will be hosted by the Sports Center and Convention Center
campus requires flexibility related to temporary uses and associated support materials that will frequently be
installed and removed with the everchanging audiences for the major entertainment events. Open-Air Markets,
including food trucks; outdoor Assembly Use including stages, tents, and various displays will be temporarily
deployed on an event-by-event basis.The special exception for alternative compliance is requested in order to
allow the rapidly changing and diversity of set-ups to occur on a continual basis without additional
administrative approvals.
• The VB Convention Center (VBCC) and VB Sports Center(VBSC) often utilize outdoor plazas and open areas on
the campus in conjunction with the events taking place inside.These events occur on a continual basis averaging
250 to 500 attendees. During larger scale events and festivals, the number of outdoor attendees could increase
to 1,500. The event sites will be prepared well in advance and often by non-City employee production teams.
The VBCC/VBSC campus will be managed and supported by 20 convention center staff, 15 sports center staff,
and various contracted personnel hired to support larger events. On a very limited basis, the parking lots directly
adjacent to the Sports Center may be utilized for large-scaled activities. The parking lot located to the west of
the Sports Center contains 106 spaces while the parking lot north of 19th Street contains 138 spaces. On
occasion outdoor events on the campus may be independent of the events simultaneously taking place inside
the buildings. VBCC and VBSC staff will coordinate to ensure simultaneous events are compatible and
accommodations for parking, restrooms, circulation, trash, etc. are sufficient to cover all needs.
• Special events that include temporary road closures in and around the Sports Center and Convention Center
campus will continue to follow the special events permitting application and review process.

The proposed recurring outdoor event spaces are located along both 17"Street and 19'Street while being closely
associated with either the Convention Center or Sports Center buildings. The pink indicates plaza space and the purple
highlights the two parking lot areas, in which large format sponsor activations can occur. An activation will change the
look and experience of these areas, as they are transformed from vehicular parking to pedestrian in nature, as visitors
interact and participate in the temporary event set-up.

Outdoor Assembly Description
In the plaza space activities are anticipated to include food vendors, alcohol sales, retail sales, activations provided by
event sponsors, staged performances, public speakers, and amplified music. Each of these will be coordinated with the
events being hosted interior to the building so that there are no conflicts between organizational values, age groups, or
event topics. The ability to host and accommodate changing needs seven days a week is important for this site, as events
will be starting, stopping, and transitioning on timetables that are outside of a standard Monday—Friday work week. An
emphasis on weekends is anticipated as attendees may travel to Virginia Beach for long weekends and on occasion there
will be week-long bookings for larger scale events.

Large Tents:
Installed in the plaza are two sets of embedded anchors that are spaced to accommodate a 30'x30'tent structure and
stage set-up. One tent aligns with the main Sports Center entrance and is oriented to the east while the other is oriented
towards the south and would allow for a larger audience to assembly interior to the plaza. Power has been installed and
is available to serve these locations.

Entertainment and Music:
The plaza space provides an opportunity for outdoor programming. While this is not an exhaustive list, it provides an
example of the variety of activities,activations, and performances that could occur within this space. Music will be
introduced in the form of live performances and Ws with amplification and speakers.There will also be opportunities for
speakers and event related demonstrations that will also utilize amplification to easily reach those gathered in this large
space. During certain festivals a more carnival like atmosphere may take over the plaza and could include bounce
houses,trampolines, inflatable games, and street performers from jugglers to acrobats. There are very few residential
units at the periphery of this site that could be disturbed during events.
Merchandise Sales:
Both retail and sponsor tents are anticipated to be 10'x10' but larger sizes can easily fit within the plaza in a variety of
layouts to meet the needs of each new event. Power is located along the building and will be easily accessible within the
plaza. It is possible that there will be scenarios in which tents could remain in place for multiple days along with tables,
chairs, display structures, and various amounts of equipment. In these instances, no retail or sponsor materials shall be
stored on-site overnight, and tent enclosures will assist in closing the site overnight for multi-day events.
City of Virginia Beach
Agenda Item 5
Page 5
Food Trucks and Vendors:
The opportunity to have a variety of mobile food vendors set-up in the plaza space allows for the support of events and
attendees across the campus. Larger events may desire to bring in multiple food trucks while smaller events or festivals
may desire a smaller cart-based offering of ice cream, coffee, or other specialty items. It is anticipated that food trucks
will enter the plaza via the southwest access path and remain in the southern portion of the plaza where power is
readily available eliminating the need to run generators as a part of the operation. If food trucks are set-up outside of
the plaza space, generators will likely be a part of their operation. Each vendor will be responsible for bringing their own
water and supplies to the site. Waste receptacles will be available and managed by the Sports Center to meet the 1 per
1000 square feet of sales area requirements and to be emptied regularly.
Alcohol Sales:
On-premise, off-premise, and specialized sales that meet ABC permit and license requirements may occur on this site on
an event-by-event basis. All ABC requirements will be met when serving alcohol within a contained and secured area.
When alcohol is being served during an event, staffing will include on-site security.
Temporary Lighting and Potential Future Installations:
Currently, the lighting in the plaza consists of six pole mounted lights, two are adjacent to the stormwater pond and four
are adjacent to the building, as well as a few bollards with lights. It is anticipated that truss hung lighting associated with
stages or gateways may occur for larger events. The directionality of this type of lighting should be towards the on-site
events in order to avoid light spillage off-site. Additional temporary light towers may be utilized to provide additional
illumination when needed for safety or to illuminate areas during altered uses. The potential for adding a catenary
lighting system was explored previously during the design phase and could be installed at a later date to provide
additional lighting, examples of this type of system are included for reference but do not represent a final system design.

Temporary Restrooms:
The Convention Center and Sports Center will provide adequate restroom facilities for most events, but on occasions the
need to include portable restroom units installed exterior to the buildings will be necessary.The most recent example
shown below, coordinated the location of the units to be adjacent to a transportation staging area during Something in
the Water 2019. It is anticipated this need will occur only occasionally and to accommodate very specific demands
throughout the year.

Temporary Art Installations:
There may be an opportunity for spaces around the Convention and Sports Center to host temporary art installations
associated with an event.The neighboring ViBe Creative District and Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art(MOCA)
could partner in these efforts due to their proximity and eagerness to engage the public in creative ways.

Open-Air Market Timing and Duration:
- Up to 2 days per week (This could be a weekly occurrence)
- Duration will be event dependent but typically no more than three days per week
- Between 7am—8pm
Open-Air Market Description:
The Open-Air Market could fill the entire plaza or only occupy a small portion of the 35,000+/- square feet available. The
campus setting provides thousands of parking spaces and most of those attending the market will likely be attendees to
the scheduled events at the Sports Center or Convention Center.There is a drop off zone at the north end of the plaza
and a bicycle rack along the southern edge of the plaza so attendees may arrive by a variety of modes. Merchandise
booths are likely to be 10x10 and easily assembled and disassembled by each vendor. Larger tent setups can also be
accommodated as the space allows for flexibility when setting up temporary configurations. It is anticipated that these
markets will operate as pop-up venues and merchandise will be removed at the end of each day with no overnight
storage on-site. Waste receptacles will be available and managed by the Sports Center to meet the one per 1,000 square
feet of sales area requirements and to be emptied regularly.

Evaluation & Recommendation
As noted in the Background section of this report, Section 7.3.3 of the FBC provides the 'Review Standards' for
Alternative Compliance applications, noting that the City Council "shall consider the extent to which the proposed
development, taken as a whole," satisfies the standards. Each of those standards is listed below, with a Staff
comment pertaining to the degree to which the proposal meets each:
Advances the stated goals and objectives of the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan and this Code, and specifically,
the extent to which the proposed development:
• Promotes modes of transportation other than the automobile, including walking and transit. Staff Comments:
The areas in which outdoor events are planned include ample sidewalks for pedestrian movements, and
bicyclists will find plenty of racks for bike storage. Transit routes move past the Convention and Sports Center
Campus on multiple sides including HRT Route 960 along Parks Avenue and Route 20 along 17th Street.
• Creates a built environment that is in scale with pedestrian-oriented activities and provides visual interest and
orientation for pedestrians. Staff Comments:
The layout of the Convention and Sports Center campus and associated parking will have pedestrians moving
around the campus to reach events. The 19th Street corridor and streetscapes will be a destination for visitors as
they move into either the Convention Center or Sports Center. This is reflected in anticipated locations of
outdoor events along this corridor in order to easily provide visual interest and orientation if moving between
the Convention Center, Sports Center, and adjacent ViBe Creative District.
• Contributes to a mix of uses in the area that are compatible with each other and work together to create a
memorable and successful place. Staff Comments:
The activation of outdoor plaza spaces and parking lots on a few occasions will assist in making participation in
the events at the Convention Center and Sports Center memorable for attendees and provide a positive
impression that will make each visitor want to return for future events.
• Is consistent with the intent of the regulations applicable to the street frontage in which it is located, as set
forth in Sec. 2.1 of this code.Staff Comments:
The frontages along 19th Street consist of Gateway and Shopping designations. The Gateway designation is for
primary routing to and through the Oceanfront Resort Area that also provides accommodations for pedestrians.
The Shopping designation toward the east end of 19th Street in front of the Convention Center begins to signal
the transition into the ViBe Creative District, east of Parks Avenue, that will offer smaller storefronts,
opportunities for shopping, increased pedestrian crossings, on-street parking, and slower moving traffic.
• Is physically and functionally integrated with the built environment in which it is located.Staff Comments:
The Convention and Sports Center campus is designed to accommodate events that need both indoor and
outdoor space. Glass fronts on the buildings allow visitors to observe activities that are occurring both inside and
outside.
• Advances the goals and objectives of the parking strategy for the District.Staff Comments:
The layout of the Convention and Sports Center campus will allow visitors to park once and walk to all the
events on the campus, as well as to the neighboring streets for restaurant or retail experiences utilizing a park
once strategy.
City of Virginia Beach
Agenda Item 5
Page 9
• The City Council shall also consider the potential impacts of the proposed deviation on surrounding properties
and the extent to which any adverse impacts from such deviation can be mitigated.Staff Comments:
The campus setting is largely isolated from other land uses except for a hotel and residential apartments along
19th Street across from the Sports Center and its associated parking. A small portion of 17th Street may see
activity when the parking lot to the West of the Sports Center is used for events and currently the neighboring
land uses consist of storage, a convenient store and retail shopping. The recommended conditions include time
limits to end events and clean up hours in order to not disturb those adjacent to the site.
Based on the conclusion that the proposed use and associated structures satisfy the standards above to the
greatest extent possible, Staff recommends approval of this Special Exception for Alternative Compliance to the
Form-Based Code.
Recommended Conditions
1. Concerts and amplified sound shall operate no more than two days per week and shall not exceed four hours in one
24-hour period. The concerts and amplified sounds shall end by 11:00 p.m., except for 10 nights per year during which
concerts and amplified sound may continue until midnight.
2. Festivals shall operate no more than three days per week and not exceed ten hours in one 24-hour period.The
festival shall end by 11:00 p.m.
3. Indoor event overflow shall not exceed 12 hours in one 24-hour period.The event overflow shall end by 11:00 p.m.
4. Fire hydrants or fire department connections shall not be blocked or obstructed at any time. A minimum 12-foot-wide
path shall be maintained for emergency access.
5. Temporary light towers shall not operate past 2:00 a.m.
6. Portable restrooms shall be removed from the site as soon as logistically possible upon the completion of any event.
7. When the Open-Air Market is operational, no less than one trash receptacle per 1,000 feet of sales area shall be
available for use and emptied regularly so that litter and debris does not accumulate on site.
8. Open-Air Market operational hours shall be restricted to 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
9. The Open-Air Market operations shall not interfere with the reasonable use and enjoyment of neighboring properties
by reason of excessive noise,traffic, or overflow parking.
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
Since the first Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP) was completed in 2008 a variety of projects have been
completed showing progress and success in implementing the plan. Transforming the resort area into a year-round,
world class urban resort destination that transitions into vibrant diverse neighborhoods was the foundation of the
2008 plan. Many of the guiding principles from this plan remain embedded in the draft 2030 RASAP plan approved by
City Council on June 2, 2020. Additions to the 2030 plan include a focus on providing high quality spaces, as well as,
experiences for both locals and visitors in order to attract and retain talent, achieve a high rate of return on
investments and have visitors that repeatedly return to the area. This updated plan continues to show three distinct
yet complementary districts: Laskin Gateway, Central Beach, and Rudee Marina that 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 Convention Center and new Sports Center anchor the west end of the Central Beach District.
These large format venues for conventions, sports, and entertainment occur in a campus like setting that creates a
pedestrian-scaled mixed-use entertainment district geared towards year-round activity for residents and visitors alike.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: GREEN CLEAN SOUTH MILITARY, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Modification of Conditions (Car Wash Facility) for property located at 820
South Military Highway, (GPIN 1456253633). COUNCIL DISTRICT —
KEMPSVILLE
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background:
A Conditional Use Permit was previously approved for a car wash facility on the
property in 2007. The applicant is now requesting a Modification of Conditions to
redevelop the site with a new 3,300 square foot car wash building with 19 vacuum
stations.
• Considerations:
There are multiple properties along this portion of South Military Highway that are
commercially zoned and support retail, service and industrial uses. The proposed
orientation of the building will limit the visibility of the vacuum stations from South
Military Highway and reduce the sound impact to residences east of the site.
Currently, there are multiple vehicular ingress/egress points on the southern and
eastern sides of the property. However, there is no direct connection to South
Military Highway. As shown on the submitted concept plan the number of
ingress/egress access points for the property will be reduced to one, to be shared
with an adjacent pharmacy via a shared access easement from South Military
Highway. This ingress/egress point is 280 feet from the intersection with Indian
River Road. This access includes a turning lane.
There is a legally non-conforming freestanding display sign on the southwest
corner of the site. Consistent with the practice of addressing non-conforming
signs, a condition is recommended requiring removal of the sign and that all new
signage comply with the current regulations. The applicant is agreeable to this
condition. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation,
are provided in the attached Staff report. There is no known opposition to this
application.
• Recommendations:
On June 24, 2020, the Planning Commission placed this item on the Consent
Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of
this request. Due to an advertising error, the item is rescheduled for the August
18, 2020 joint session with Planning Commission and City Council.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The 33,391 square foot site is developed with a Car Wash Facility, which received a Conditional Use Permit in 2007.
The applicant is requesting a Modification of Conditions to the Car Wash Facility to redevelop the site with a new
3,300 square foot car wash building with 19 vacuum stations.
• The site was part of a larger Proffered Conditional Rezoning request to build the adjacent pharmacy,that required
exterior building colors to be primarily neutral earth tones.
• Currently,there are multiple vehicular ingress/egress points on the southern and eastern sides of the property,
connecting to the pharmacy on the adjacent parcel. However,there is no direct connection to South Military
Highway. The submitted concept plan depicts reducing the number of ingress/egress access points to one along the
southern property line, thereby eliminating the ingress/egress on the eastern property line.
• The Zoning Ordinance requires three parking spaces for the use within a building of this size. A total of 19 parking
spaces, each with access to the vacuums, are depicted along the southern side of the property facing the pharmacy
parking lot.
• The building is designed with a synthetic wood and brick facade.The proposed elevations are depicted on page eight
and a color rendering is depicted on page nine of this report.Two pay stations for the car wash include a curved
canopy and are shown on page 10 of this report.
• A note on the concept plan indicates that the existing street frontage trees on the property are to remain. Four
trees and shrubs along the parking lot with vacuums are provided.Additional landscape review with occur during
final site plan review.
• There is a legally non-conforming freestanding electronic display sign on the southwest corner of the site. Consistent
with the practice of addressing non-conforming signs,Staff has recommended a condition that the sign be removed
and that all new signage comply with the current regulations.The definition for Electronic display signs:A
component of a sign containing light emitting diodes (LEDs),fiber optics, light bulbs, plasma display screens or other
illumination devices, or a series of vertical or horizontal slats or cylinders that are capable of being rotated at
intervals,that are used to change the messages, intensity of light or colors displayed by such sign.The term shall not
include signs on which lights or other illumination devices display only the temperature or time of day in alternating
cycles of not less than five (5) seconds.
• It is anticipated that up to two employees will be on the site at any one time. The proposed typical hours of
operation will be from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The Modification of Conditions of the Conditional Use Permit for a Car Wash Facility is acceptable. There are multiple
properties along this portion of S. Military Highway that are commercially zoned and support retail, service and
industrial uses. The proposed orientation of the building locates the vacuum stations away from the front and back of
the site, which will limit the visibility from the South Military Highway Corridor and reduce the sound impact to the
residences to the east of the site.The quality building materials and color scheme meet the standards found in the
existing proffer agreement and as recommended in the Military Highway Corridor Suburban Focus Area.The investment
in redeveloping the site will contribute to enhancing the South Military Special Economic Growth Area corridor, as
outlined in the land use policies of the Comprehensive Plan,which states that redeveloped uses should improve the
aesthetics of this corridor through high quality building design, signage and landscaping.
Staff has recommended a condition to limit the hours of operation from 8:00 a.m.to 8:00 p.m.to limit noise, as the back
of the site is within 150 feet of the single-family dwellings in the Westview Village neighborhood, but is separated by a
portion of the B-2 Community Business District zoned lot for the pharmacy.
There is a legally non-conforming freestanding electronic display sign on the southwest corner of the site. In 2009,the
City Council directed the Planning Commission to review electronic display message signs. In 2010,the Council adopted
an ordinance to not permit electronic display signs, except for major entertainment venues and gas station fuel price
signs. Therefore, Staff has recommended a condition that the existing non-conforming freestanding electronic display
sign be replaced with a monument style sign with a brick base, no taller than eight feet.
Staff recommends approval of the application subject to the conditions listed below.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: WILLIAM MARK CONBOY [Applicant] CONBOY CONSTRUCTION
CORPORATION [Owners] Conditional Use Permit (Commercial Kennel) for
the property located at 3285 Indian Creek Road (GPIN 1387681885),
COUNCIL DISTRICT — PRINCESS ANNE
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background:
The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Kennel for up
to 30 dogs on a 13.97-acre parcel in the rural area of the City. The dogs will be
kept primarily for hunting purposes and include beagles and foxhound crosses.
Three of the dogs will be kept for companion purposes. The applicant is proposing
to construct a 720 square foot kennel on the property to house the dogs.
• Considerations:
In Staff's view, and the Planning Commission concurred, the proposed use is
consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan and is
compatible with the rural character of the surrounding area. The kennel will be
located a minimum of 100 feet from the nearest property line and will be over 1 ,000
feet from the nearest single-family dwelling. According to the application, while the
kennel is not required to be soundproofed as it meets the setback requirements of
Section 223, the applicant will attenuate sound by constructing the kennel with
cinderblock rather than wood.
Due to an inquiry by City Council, Staff contacted the American Kennel Club (AKC)
for further information regarding minimum standards applicable to kenneled dogs,
including space and temperature control. While there are no set standards, the
AKC recommends enclosures be sufficiently large enough to allow dogs to sit,
stand, lie down and turn around comfortably with no overcrowding. Similarly,
protection from adverse or extreme weather should be provided and facilities be
maintained in a safe and sanitary condition. While not air conditioned, according
to Animal Control there are no records of animal abuse filed with the City and the
proposal is acceptable. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's
evaluation, are provided in the attached Staff report.
Two letters of support from adjacent property owners have been received by Staff.
An additional letter was provided by the applicant's veterinarian in support of the
applicant and this proposal. There is no known opposition.

Agenda, passing a motion by a recorded vote of 11-0, to recommend approval of
this request. Due to an advertising error, the item is rescheduled to the August 18,
2020 joint session with Planning Commission and City Council.
1 . There shall be no more than 30 adult dogs kept on the property at any time.
2. All dogs, when outside, shall remain within the fenced-in area and be
supervised at all times, and shall not be a nuisance to any other property
owners or residents.
3. The dog kennel structure shall be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition.
4. All animal waste from the dog kennel shall be collected and disposed of in a
lawful manner on a daily basis.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• This is a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Kennel to allow up to 30 dogs on a 13.97 acre parcel
in the rural area of the City.Section 111 of the Zoning Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit for a Residential
Kennel when more than four adult dogs over six months old are kept for pets or for hunting, exhibiting, dog shows,
field and obedience trials.
• The applicant is requesting to care for 12 deer hounds(beagles&foxhound crosses), six rabbit dogs(beagles)and
three companion dogs (two beagles and one black lab).
• Although 21 dogs are expected to be kept on the property,the applicant requests permission to care for up to 30
dogs,as the number of dogs may fluctuate to care for puppies above the age of six months to see their potential as
hunting dogs.
• The applicant is proposing to construct a 12' x 60' kennel on the property to house the dogs.The proposed kennel
will be the same structure constructed at the owner's previous residence in Chesapeake,VA, as depicted on page six
of this report.
• Section 223 of the Zoning Ordinance,which regulates this type of activity, requires that the area used as a
residential kennel be located 100 feet or more from the property line of any adjacent lot unless the animals are kept
in soundproof, air-conditioned buildings.This proposed kennel is located 100 feet from the nearest property line
and is over 1,000 feet from the nearest adjacent single-family dwelling.While the kennel is not required to be
soundproofed, as it meets the requirement of Section 223 in regard to the distance to the adjacent property line,
the applicant is making an extra effort to attenuate sound by constructing the kennel walls with cinderblock rather
than wood.

Evaluation & Recommendation
Staff finds the proposed Residential Kennel to be appropriate and compatible with the character of the surrounding
rural area. It is common for hunters to keep hunting dogs on their property in the southern part of the City. The dogs will
be kept in a 720 square foot structure on the large argriculturally zoned property. As stated above, the kennel structure
is located 100 feet to the nearest property line, over 1,000 feet from the closest single-family dwelling, and is
surrounded by cultivated agricultural land.
Animal Control has reviewed the request and indicated that there are no records of any complaints filed with the City
and has no objection to this application.The Health Department has also reviewed the application to ensure that the on-
site sanitary sewer system can accommodate the use and the placement of the kennel structure on the property. The
applicant is aware of the possible concerns neighbors may have regarding the the number of dogs kept on the property,
so he notified each neighbor to inform them of his request and has received two letters of support. These letters are
provided to the Planning Commission in the Supplements Package.
Based on these considerations,Staff recommends approval of this request subject to the conditions below.
Recommended Conditions
1. There shall be no more than 30 adult dogs kept on the property at any time.
2. All dogs, when outside, shall remain within the fenced-in area and be supervised at all times, and shall not be a
nuisance to any other property owners or residents.
3. The dog kennel structure shall be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition.
4. All animal waste from the dog kennel shall be collected and disposed of in a lawful manner on a daily basis.
5. The applicant shall ensure that all dogs are properly vaccinated and immunized and are licensed through the City of
Virginia Beach.
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 primarly agricultural and rural
related activities. Goals within the Rural Area include preserving and promoting the agricultural economy, preserving the
rural heritage, sustaining natural resources for future generations, and managing rural area development and design.

Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The property is witin 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. A preliminary stormwater analysis is not required since the proposal would not result in an increase of more
than 2,500 square feet of new impervious surface.
Traffic Impacts

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: HARRIS TEETER PROPERTIES, INC. [Applicant] BRENNEMAN FARM
RETAIL ASSOCIATES, LLC [Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Automobile Service Station) for property located at 4540 Princess Anne
Road (GPIN 1476517896), COUNCIL DISTRICT — KEMPSVILLE
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background:
The applicant is requesting to construct 14 fueling pump stations and a 240 square
foot kiosk on a vacant outparcel of the Brenneman Farm Shopping Center. The
fuel sales requires a Conditional Use Permit for an Automobile Service Station.
The Conditional Rezoning for the overall Brenneman Farm development plan was
approved September 2003 and stipulated that City Council approve the concept
plan for the proposed commercial shopping center. In 2007, approval was granted
by City Council for the development of the shopping center which placed conditions
for developing outparcels with high quality building materials and landscaping. The
kiosk will have a brick exterior to match that of the existing shopping center and
landscaping consistent with the standards of the Virginia Beach Landscaping
Guide will be provided.
• Considerations:
The proposed gas station use is typically found on outparcels of shopping centers.
The site layout, landscaping, and architecture are consistent with that of the
existing shopping center.
The Staff recommended a condition prohibiting outdoor vending machines and/or
the display of merchandise; however, the Planning Commission modified this
condition, Condition 9, to permit these uses if properly screened from view from
the right-of-way and approved by the Planning Director. This change complies with
the Retail Design Guidelines and is identified by underlined and strikethrough text
below. Further details pertaining to the request, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff report. There is no known opposition, however, one
speaker at the Planning Commission hearing had concerns with the timing of the
existing traffic signal at the entrance to the shopping center. Traffic Engineering
is researching these concerns.
• Recommendations:
On June 24, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval on this request by a vote of 11-0. Due to an advertising error, the item is
Harris Teeter Properties, Inc.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• Harris Teeter is requesting to construct 14 fueling pump stations and a 240 square foot kiosk on a vacant 36,151
square foot outparcel of the Brenneman Farm Shopping Center.This outparcel is located adjacent to an entrance to
the shopping center along South Plaza Trail. The fuel sales requires a Conditional Use Permit for an Automobile
Service Station. The Conditional Rezoning for the shopping center site stipulated that a Conditional Use Permit be
filed once the concept was finalized. The Conditional Use Permit has conditions for developing outparcels with high
quality building materials (matching the main shopping center building)and landscaping.
• Two ingress/egress access points are proposed to the outparcel, as depicted on the concept plan on page six of this
report.
• The exterior of the kiosk is depicted on the submitted elevations (page eight of this report)with a red brick exterior
and green standing-seam metal roof. The elevations for the proposed fuel canopy feature the same green
standing-seam metal roofing and brick columns, as depicted on pages eight and nine of this report.
• White channel-letter style signage is proposed on the fuel canopy and an eight-foot tall monument-style sign with a
red brick base is proposed at the northeast corner of the site next to the South Plaza Trail and Brenneman Trail
stoplight. Elevations of this signage can be found on pages eight through 10 of this report.
• Landscaping materials, including trees and shrubs, are proposed on all four sides of the property.The depicted plant
material appears to satisfy the required street frontage, parking, and dumpster landscaping requirements of the
Virginia Beach Landscaping Guide.A more thorough review of the planting requirements will occur during final site
plan review.
• The seven parking spaces proposed on the site exceed the three parking spaces required by the Zoning Ordinance.
• The applicant is proposing outdoor merchandising and vending machines near the kiosk and propane cages along
the southwestern side yard of the lot.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The proposed request for a Conditional Use Permit for Automobile Service Station is acceptable.The proposed use is
appropriate for the existing Brenneman Farm Shopping Center, as it will enhance the available commercial services for
the surrounding community.The site layout, landscaping, architectural materials and signage provide for a high-quality
outparcel that meets the intent of the Conditional Use Permit for the Brenneman Farm Shopping Center.
Though approval is recommended for the Automobile Service Station, Staff does not support that outdoor vending and
merchandising be permitted on this site, as depicted on the concept plan. Historically, Conditional Use Permits for
Automobile Service Stations have been conditioned to exclude vending machine and outdoor merchandising outside of
the building associated with fuel sales in an effort to maintain orderly and attractive sites. Additionally,the Retail Design
Guidelines found in Section 245(e)(2) of the Zoning Ordinance state that vending machines shall not be visible from a
public street, and that if vending machines are present, building facades should include an area screened from public
streets but visible to security personnel. Staff recommends a condition to prohibit these machines and merchandising as
they will be visible from the right-of-way, thereby not meeting this Guideline.The applicant is not agreeable to this
prohibition. For the reasons stated above,Staff recommends approval of this application, subject to the conditions listed
below, including the prohibition as stated above and in Condition 9 below.

Item#3.
Harris Teeter Properties,Inc. [Applicant]
Brenneman Farm Retail Associates, LLC[Owner]
Conditional Use Permit(Automobile Service Station)
4540 Princess Anne Road
June 24,2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- HEARD
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair. The first item on today's Regular Agenda is Agenda Item three.
Harris Teeter Properties Incorporated for a conditional use permit request for an
Automobile Service Station at 4540 Princess Anne Road in the Kempsville District.
The applicant's representative is Randy Royal. Mr.Royal, you have up to 10
minutes, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Royal: At the risk of getting in trouble I am going to take that off so, you all can hear me.
Randy Royal, this is to address Kimley-Horn Associates here represent the Harris
Teeter application. Good afternoon. Harris Teeter is looking to do a gas station in
front of their existing grocery store facility at Brenneman Farm. Staff has
recommended approval,but I want to speak to stipulation number nine,which is no
outdoor vending machines and or display of merchandise shall be permitted.
Jonathan spoke to you a little bit about in the pre-briefing. So, the retail design
guidelines say that vending machines shall not be visible from a public street if they
are present. The building facade should include an area screened from public
streets with as well as security personnel. Understand this, there are a lot of
businesses around the city that just put stuff out front, they put vending machines
out there. It is pretty ugly. There is an exception in there that the Planning Director
can allow this, provided that it does not hinder the look of the facility, I mean the
retail design guidelines allow that. So, I have given you pictures there of the Harris
Teeter facility at Princess Anne and Sandbridge Road, which they are operating
right now with the outdoor merchandising, I think that is the one that Jonathan
mentioned that it got missed, because it came through about four years ago, but it
is a nice operation, they have vending machines in the middle, they have an ice
machine. We are looking to do the same thing here but are willing to put additional
things on it, brick walls to make it look nicer to have it less visible if visible at all
1
from the road. The vending machines might be visible,but with cars in there I doubt
you are going to see that much that is the rendering there that is kind of what you
see,you can see from the side,behind the cars there is a couple of vending machines
in there. That is what we are proposing to do. We are hoping that you will see fit to
go along with that, but also, wanted to speak to Mr. Ewan from the neighborhood
across the street.He is going to speak to you about some concerns he has and I have
been trying to work with him on those and point him in the right direction. And I
do not intend to speak for him, but what he told me he had issues with traffic, the
intersection movements, emergency access to their neighborhood parking on their
entry road random a trail. And originally did not want the gas station on that
outparcel on that corner, but we spoke earlier and I think he is okay with it now. I
have looked at the intersection we have looked at some things that could be done.
I have also talked, and I do not see him Ric Lowman the City Traffic Engineer
about it, and he said they have a procedure. They have a gentleman, and I have
given Mr. Ewan and this gentleman's name, where traffic will take counts we will
look into these matters and if it is appropriate to put in and what I think they were
looking for some additional signage, or a protected left turn, then the city would
consider doing that. So, I put him in contact with him. There are some parking
issues that possibly could go away, but, again, I will let him speak to it and I will
answer any questions he has. From our standpoint, as I said, Harris Teeter runs a
nice operation Princess Anne and Sandbridge is a good example of that. I am
hopeful that you will take stipulation number nine off,we are willing to put and the
last two photos in there are the brick walls like around the ice machine and the
propane tank exchange that we could dress this up to make it look even nicer and
less visible, if visible at all from the street, propane tanks sit pretty far to the back.
And I have got the Harris Teeter representative here. He is not going to speak but
he is here for any questions that you might have of Harris Teeter. Thank you for
your time. I hope you will see fit to recommend approval.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, there are two speakers. The first speaker is Garrett Maravets, Mr.
Maravets, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Royal: He's here for questions
Mr. Landfair: Okay. Alright. Thank you. Madam Chair, the next speaker is Larry Ewan, please
state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Ewan: Good morning, Madam Chair, members of the committee or Council. Thank you
for the opportunity. I do not represent officially the board of directors for
Woodland Park which is a part of Lexington Development,between Princess Anne
2
Road and South Independence, off of South Plaza Trail, but I live directly across
the street from Harris Teeter. I am not here in objection to Harris Teeter's effort to
install a gas station. I am familiar with it. I think it will work. What we are
concerned with are three things.Please,may I impose upon the Council and Madam
Chair to allow me to up to 10 minutes since I am speaking for over 350 families
that live in the three condo developments with Nichols Park, Brenneman and
Woodland Park. We all have to be served by a single entrance and exit. We have
one way in and one way out.
Ms. Oliver: Excuse me, one second sir. I do not want to ruin your rhythm here,but unless you
are actually representing the Civic League, I cannot allow you ten minutes, I can
only give you three.
Mr. Ewan: Very well, I am officially requesting that the Planning Commission ask the traffic
control people to do a study of the traffic flows specifically at the left turn lanes out
of the shopping center and out of Brenneman Trail. The two conflict and in fact,
exiting Brenneman Trail is impossible to be able to make the left turn and wind up
in the left lane on South Plaza Trail. The median sticks well into the intersection
and one of my motivations for a traffic signal for left turn is that it would be very
costly for the city to attempt to pull that nose back, as there is a drop inlet at that
location. But, left turn control would alleviate any issues whatsoever that occur
now, when traffic is facing each other and most folks do not use their turn signal
when they are going to make a left turn out of the shopping center, and the conflict
that exists for people coming out of Brenneman Trail has created some near
accident as I observed in the last three days the same situation occurs repeatedly.
The left turn arrows would correct that. The last comment that I am going to make
my time that is available is location, location, location, the sign that was placed at
the street about the development in the planning board is 320 feet from the nearest
practical parking space to go and read that sign. Two out of ten people in the
neighborhood get a newspaper. A week ago, we received the letter of the
notification and that is what stimulated my presence here and my discussions with
Mr. Royal and Mr. Sanders. Somewhere along the line, if we want people involved
in the city, we have to take note of the fact that nobody is going to stop in the left
turn lane and read a sign.Nobody is going to go and park 320 feet away in our busy
society. There was no other previous notification, other than the newspaper, and
two out of ten people get. I do not take it. I get my news from Pilot online and that
does not appear in there. So, Madam Chair, as a result of my presence here I would
hope that maybe you would ask through your Council to have traffic,take a serious
analysis and look at that intersection for traffic controls to improve the safety. And
in doing so, they will realize that the City owns Brenneman Trail and people park
on that in the legitimate area and they are both sides it narrows our access in and
out to a single lane. I have watched school buses, I have watched fire equipment
come in and out, it is the only access for over 350 homes in loaf of putting another
3
access in widen that by preventing parking on Brenneman Trail from South Plaza
Trail to the first driveway in our neighborhoods.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Ewan: I appreciate the opportunity. Thank you for all the good work that all of you have
done in the City of Virginia Beach, I have been here for 46 years in that
neighborhood Kempsville is home.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Ewan: Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Does anybody have any questions? Can we get Ric Lowman in, let us just take a
couple of questions with him and see where he is with this, please.
Mr. Tajan: We will get Mr. Lowman now.
Mr. Sanders: I tried texting him and I will try to locate him.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Have to wait a minute and if you all will be patient with us today because
we are going to have to be getting people from different buildings and different
rooms because of social distancing. Yes sir.
Mr. Alcaraz: Mr. Tajan, notification on adjacent properties and how many went out in Mrs.
Condo's process.
Mr. Tajan: So, depending on the addresses we will have to pull it up.
Mr. Alcaraz: But everybody gets notified adjacent.
Mr. Tajan: Those that are adjacent or directly across the street from it. So, may have gone,
depending on how or just pulled it might have went to the Condo Association or to
those Condo Owners that are just within that adjacency. What we can pull that up.
Ms. Lowman: I am assuming you are going to ask me about.
Ms. Oliver: I am going to ask you about traffic and the entrance to the neighborhood, the
median, and everything that seems to and the fact that it is the only entrance into
the neighborhood.
Mr. Lowman: Okay. Well this is the first that we had heard of this, actually I talked with Randy
yesterday about it a little bit, so, what I told him was that we would study this, I
mean this is kind of an aside from this application, I mean if they are having these
issues and they would like us to study, we can study it. It may be a little bit of time
before we can actually do some traffic counts out there because of the pandemic,
traffic volumes are down right now. So, anything that we do is going to be a full
4
measure of the true traffic. So, we have put traffic counts on hold, like this for a
little bit. But, we will definitely study and like Randy said and Mr. Royal said he
gave him the phone number or the name of the person to call to request this study.
We will take a look at the median, as well. I mean we will see if the media needs to
be cut back or whether there needs to be a left turn arrow. So, we will take a look
at all those things. And as far as the parking and the width of Brenneman Trail, I
originally thought it was a private drive because all those roads are,but Brenneman
is a public roadway to the turnaround, and then the different apartments or the
different condos, kind of split off of it as private streets. So, as far as only one
access that is not an issue that that we would get into. As far as providing a second
access point like I told Mr. Royal yesterday if they are requesting another access
point,they can build one and obviously planning in DCS and the rest, so, let see we
would have to review it. But, I do not think it is a city kind of responsibility to
build access.
Ms. Oliver: Right.
Mr. Lowman: Anything else?
Ms. Oliver: May he have the questions, Mr. Lowman. No.
Mr. Lowman: Alright, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Tajan: Ms. Oliver, to answer Mr. Alcaraz's question, we may have 461 adjacent property
owners.
Ms. Oliver: Great, thank you. Alright.
Mr. Landfair: There are no more known speakers, Madam Chair.
Ms. Oliver: Alright. So, Randy you want to come back up?
Mr. Royal: Again, I do not anticipate, I mean there is not a traffic problem per se, certainly you
put something new in like a gas station there is going to be traffic there, but
understand it is not a destination, it is not bringing new people to the site. Most of
the customers are going to be people going to the grocery store or people that are
driving by anyway. We have worked with Staff and I forgotten Mr. Wall asked
question earlier about the access,we did talk to traffic engineering about where that
access is out and, yeah, it would be better to have it further back and give more
room to get in the queue. But, to get the gas tank around, we need to have it there
they cannot get back up and then almost make a u-turn that is just how the traffic
flow works on that. So, again, work with Mr. Ewan and to tell him what needs to
happen there and I will continue to help him contacting, but I am sure Ric's folks
5
will take care of it. The outdoor merchandising though that is the big thing.
Otherwise, Staff is fine with this. It is just something that is integral to the Harris
Teeter trying to get folks so,they can pull and get the things they need and not make
another stop going out, I believe, as you can see from those pictures there that we
can make it quite attractive it is not going to be a detriment to the facility, so, that
is our ask today. Thank you.
Mr. Weiner: Mr. Royal. After reading this I did some driving around and I noticed we approved
five or six of these since I have been on the Planning Commission. And then we
talked about this morning with Staff,but when we did this,we did not have anything
to do about the screening any type of vending machines or any ice makers or
anything like that and if you go to these right now they are outside and this is the
way it is but I would personally if comes around to this I would like to modify Item
number nine to have all vending machines screen from public view, I mean how do
you feel as being the applicant have that worded because the ice machines and so,
forth would need to be screen, stuff like that.
Mr. Royal: The ice machine, the propane tank thing we can screen. The vending machines go
in the middle and can you guys pull the rendering back up please.
Mr. Weiner: Yeah, we are actually looking at it.
Mr. Royal: Yeah. So, I mean, you literally that one in the bottom left there that is kind of what
you would see with cars there, you see the vending machines behind it. I cannot
fully screen that, you are going to see a little bit of it but to me it really does not
seem agree just the bottom right is the ice machine there as they typically do but as
of giving you a photo there where we can put brick walls put a roof on top of it so,
that it matches with the architecture. And that is what we would propose to do, to
do the additional architecture for these signs.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Alright, I am going to close this now and just open it to the
Commissioners for a discussion or a motion. I do have one question let me plan on
making a motion. Let me asked you, we started about this proffer on number nine
for the vending machines and display of merchandise. And I think we had a
discussion earlier today at the informal about those and I just want to make sure I
am clear on that we do not approve those, is that correct? We have not approved.
Hi, John.
Mr. Sanders: I can speak to that.
Ms. Oliver: Please do.
Mr. Sanders: Yes. Historically, like for the past 10 or more years most of our conditional use
permits do have that item as a condition in for automobile service stations. I know
6
I have worked on three personally that did speak to that and some of our recent ones
as well as recent as 2019, also, had that condition listed.
Ms. Oliver: Am I correct my memory this one, that the one that did was because the condition
was accidentally left out of an application.
Mr. Sanders: Right,that was one in 2016 that did not have that stuff must have overlooked at that
time,but we have continued on past that, in 2017 to present. Having that condition
consistently as a part of these types of requests.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. So, nine has always been in there. Okay. That is what I wanted to know.
Thank you, anybody has the questions for Mr. Sanders.
Mr. Tajan: No.
Ms. Oliver: No. Whitney do you have a question?
Mr. Graham: Oh, my question is really for Mr. Tajan. So, when Mr. Royal was giving his
presentation,he said that the Planning Director is able to make an exception as long
as there is screening is that correct.
Mr. Tajan: So, per the zoning ordinance requirements with the retail design standards. There
is an option to allow for in building design which includes the vending machines
for the Planning Director to modify the requirements. So, that is there,but that is in
the retail design guidelines. What we have recommended is what consistent is what
we have done for regardless of what those guidelines say for any of the other
requests that had been made for automobile service stations, or gas pumps.
Mr. Graham: Gotcha, gotcha. So, to be clear that all the vending machines and ice machines and
propane tanks that we see out at all the other gas stations that have been approved
basically, these applicants once they got built they just did it.
Mr. Tajan: Correct.
Mr. Graham: So, this applicant's actually asking for.
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Sanders has gone back and reviewed all the reports for the last 10 or so years
and seeing this consistent condition except for one where it was missed by staff.
So, if the other ones have been probably violations, we do need to go take a look at
those as they have been brought up to us.
Mr. Inman: I would like to make a motion to approve the applications subject to a modification
of condition number nine, to say, outdoor vending machines and display of
merchandise shall be permitted if screening for such items proved by the Planning
Director is provided.
Ms. Oliver: I will second that.
7
Mr. Wall: We are still in discussion.
Ms. Oliver: Oh yeah, sorry.
Mr. Redmond:So, I do want to make one point there. I really do not think we should be presuming
to decide things on the basis of was, what we have done before. I mean that is not
how you do things. There are dozens of these things in service stations that are
violations, as you say, and when you have a highly professional organization that
intends to do something in a very well designed and rational way. I would hate to
penalize them because there are scofflaws who do not do that way. I do not know
what possible difference they could make if the ice machine is up against the
supermarket, which they are today. Why the ice machine is where the gas pumps
are except you have to make two visits. In the days when we are all wearing masks
I kind of prefer not to make two visits. I kind of like to make one. So, it seems to
me quite silly that we would just say, that is what we have always done that is not
a reason I my opinion I cannot feel life and figure out what is wrong with having
vending machines,ice machines, and the light displayed as he indicated and shown
to us, where you get gas, you can make one stop, it is far more efficient that way.
And, I think very frankly we need to revisit not just the fact that we put that
condition in there, but the fact we have, you know, as an attitude, well that is just
kind of the way we have done it, that is not really the way you function, I think
these days, particularly. So, I am happy to support the motion and I think the
screening that he is shown us is adequate in my view and all its crap. So, I think
that is the point to say, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Jack.
Mr. Wall: I kind of agree with Dave, I do not think that it, however it is just random. I think
that it is,you know,I bought this condition. I think it is a good condition and I think
that is one that it's been fair and I think it should be fairly applied,you know across
the board. I think it does improve aesthetics of these commercial establishments.
So, in my opinion, I think it is fair. I think that we should keep condition number
nine and it is my opinion. I like it in there.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody else? Alright,we have a motion on the floor. So, I am going to go ahead
and call for sure. If do I have any planning. Hold on, because they got me on the
script because of this virtual things from all over. First giving me a chance. Are
there any Planning Commissioners that need to abstain from that. Okay. So, we
will call for the verbal vote, Marchelle please.
Ms. Coleman: Sure. If you are in the favor of the motion say, yes. If you are oppose say, no.
Mr. Tajan: Just to note the motion is to with modified condition nine that allows the outdoor
vending machines with appropriate screening provided by the Planning Director.
8
Ms. Oliver: By your discretion.
Mr. Wall: Before you do that I have got another question. So, for applications in the future is
it going to be consistent that we keep that going forward, so,you know,maybe that
is a discussion after this. But, it that number nine gets modified for every single
application now that comes forward is that, if they have screening upon the
equivalent of the Planning Directors.
Mr. Tajan: We will have to revisit it, we look at these case by case, but we understand we are
hearing what the Planning Commission is saying at this point.
Mr. Wall: That is okay.
Ms. Oliver: Great, thank you. Alright, Marchelle.
Ms. Coleman: Okay. If you are in favor say,yes and if you are appose please say,no. Mr.Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Barnes.
Mr. Barnes: Yes.

AGENDA ITEM J
ITEM: MICHAEL JAMES FITZGIBBON [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional
Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 2222 E. Berrie
Circle (GPIN 14795837330002). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Short Term Rental use on
a 7,500 square-foot parcel zoned R-5R Residential District (Shore Drive Corridor
Overlay). This property is located in the Berrie Gardens neighborhood, which was
platted in 1950 as a subdivision within the community of Chesapeake Beach. The
lot currently contains a duplex; however, this application only includes one of those
existing units. The minimum number of parking spaces required for this use is one
per bedroom, or three spaces for the three-bedroom unit. The maximum
occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a three-bedroom Short Term
Rental is nine; however, the applicant is agreeable with City Council's most recent
Short Term Rental condition revisions that reduce the overnight guests permitted
to two per bedroom or six total overnight guests, as well as a revised condition that
limits the number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one. These
modifications are indicated in the conditions below by underlined and strikethrough
text.
• Considerations:
There is a mix of duplexes and single-family dwellings within this subdivision;
however, there are also a myriad of other dwelling types surrounding Berrie
Gardens including multi-family apartments, and townhomes. The site lies
approximately 4,000 feet, or 3/4 miles, from the public beach of the Chesapeake
Bay, which is an area where Short Term Rentals are common and expected. The
parking plan submitted by the applicant depicts all three required off-street parking
spaces located on-site including two within the private driveway and one in the
garage. As permitted by Section 241 .2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance, the Zoning
Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable; however, a
condition is recommended that assures that the garage will always be available for
use by the occupants of the Short Term Rental. All other requirements of Section
241 .2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably
met by the applicant. Additional details pertaining to the application are provided
in the attached Staff report.
There is no known opposition to this request.

Evaluation & Recommendation
This property is located in the Berrie Gardens neighborhood, which was platted in 1950 as a subdivision within the larger
community of Chesapeake Beach. Berrie Gardens consists of twenty-six R-5R Residential District Zoning lots abutting
West Berrie Circle, East Berrie Circle, and North Greenwell Road.Twenty-one of the structures within the subdivision are
duplexes and five are single-family dwellings.The area surrounding this subdivision consists of a myriad of other
dwelling types including multi-family apartments, townhomes, single-family dwellings, and duplexes. Furthermore, the
subject property sits 50-feet south of the Birdsong apartment complex. In addition, the site lies approximately .75 miles
from the public beach of the Chesapeake Bay.
The parking plan submitted by the applicant depicts all three required off-street parking spaces located on site; two
within the private driveway and one in the unit's garage. As permitted by Section 241.2(1) of the City Zoning Ordinance,
the Zoning Administrator reviewed the parking plan and deemed it acceptable; however, a condition is recommended
that assures the garage will always be available for the Short Term Rental occupants. Furthermore, the requirements of
Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met by the applicant.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below.

AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: TIMOTHY HANDLON [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 2541 Seaview Avenue (GPIN
1570721176). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BAYSIDE
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental in a
four-bedroom single-family dwelling built in 1980. The 5,555 square-foot parcel is
zoned R-5R Residential District (Shore Drive Corridor Overlay). Four parking
spaces are required and only three spaces are fully provided on-site. The
maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. is three people per
bedroom, or twelve total people in this case; however, the applicant is agreeable
with City Council's most recent Short Term Rental condition revisions that reduce
the number of overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom or six total overnight
guests, as well as a revised condition that limits the number of bookings in a seven
day period from two to one. These modifications are indicated in the conditions
below by underlined and strikethrough text. After multiple attempts, Staff has been
unable to speak to the applicant to learn whether he is agreeable to these changes
to the conditions.
• Considerations:
The property is located within the community of Chesapeake Beach. The
surrounding area contains a mixture of dwelling types, including single-family,
duplex, and multi-family. The subject site abuts the public beach of the
Chesapeake Bay as well as the pedestrian beach accessway. Short Term Rental
uses are expected in this area. Access to the site is through a 16-foot easement
along the southern edge of the property. No parking is permitted within this
easement. The submitted parking plan illustrates three of the required parking
spaces entirely on-site; however, the fourth space encroaches into the Seaview
Avenue right-of-way. Because this encroachment does not inhibit vehicular or
pedestrian traffic, the parking plan was deemed acceptable by the Zoning
Administrator. Furthermore, Staff believes that all other requirements of Section
241 .2 of the Zoning Ordinance for Short Term Rental use can be reasonably met.
Additional details pertaining to this application, as well as Staff's evaluation, are
provided in the attached Staff report. There is no known opposition to this request.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The property is located within the Chesapeake Beach neighborhood of Virginia Beach. The surrounding area contains a
mixture of dwelling types including single-family, duplexes and multi-family. The subject site is directly adjacent to the
public beach of the Chesapeake Bay and next to a pedestrian beach access. Short Term Rental use is to be expected in this
location.
Access to the site is via a 16-foot easement along the southern edge of the property. No parking is permitted within this
easement, as it serves the adjacent property as well.The submitted parking plan shows three of the four required
parking space accommodated entirely on site. One of those spaces is located on a concrete area beneath the exterior
stairway. The fourth parking space encroaches slightly into the Seaview Avenue right-of-way. As this encroachment does
not inhibit vehicular or pedestrian traffic, the parking plan was deemed acceptable by the Zoning Administrator. It is
staff's opinion that all other requirements of Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance for Short Term Rental use can be
reasonably met.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: CASEY KRUEMCKE [Applicant & Property Owner] Conditional Use Permit
(Short Term Rental) for the property located at 133 Ackiss Avenue (GPIN
2417537816). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental in a
single-family home located in the Seatack Community. The subject site is 12,075
square-feet and is zoned R-7.5 Residential District. City records indicate the three-
bedroom dwelling was constructed in 1995. The minimum number of parking
spaces required for this use is one per bedroom, or three spaces in this instance.
The maximum occupancy for guests on-site after 11:00 p.m. for a three-bedroom
Short Term Rental is nine; however, the applicant is agreeable with City Council's
most recent Short Term Rental condition revisions that reduce the number of
overnight guests permitted to two per bedroom or six total overnight guests, as
well as a revised condition that limits the number of bookings in a seven day period
from two to one. These modifications are indicated in the conditions below by
underlined and strikethrough text.
• Considerations:
This property is located in the Seatack Community which is comprised
predominately of single-family dwellings and is approximately 1 .5 miles from the
public beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. Several properties within the neighborhood
are currently being used as Short Term Rentals. The submitted parking plan
depicts that all three required off-street parking spaces are accommodated in the
driveway. Overflow parking could be accommodated in the street, which is
permitted in this subdivision. It is staff's opinion that all other requirements of
Section 241.2 of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Short Term Rentals can
reasonably be met. 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 request.
• Recommendations:
On June 24, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to approve this
request by a vote of 11-0; however, due to an advertising error, this item is
rescheduled for the August 18, 2020 joint session of both the Planning
Commission and City Council. As noted above, the conditions below have been
Casey Kruemcke

structure.

notify the City Council in writing prior to the renewal of any Conditional Use Permit
for a Short Term Rental where the Short Term Rental has been the subject of

housing, zoning, fire or other similar codes.
4. No events associated with the Short Term Rental shall be permitted with more than
the allowed number of people who may stay overnight (number of bedrooms times
thrcc two) on the property where the Short Term Rental is located. This Short Term
Rental may not request or obtain a Special Event Permit under City Code Section
4-1 (8a).

Casey Kruemcke
Conditional Use Permit(Short Term Rental)
133 Ackiss Avenue
June 24,2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL- HEARD
Mr. Landfair: Thank you, Madam Chair. The next item on today's agenda is Agenda Item number
eleven, Casey Kruemcke for a Conditional Use Permit request for Short Term
Rentals at 133 Ackiss Avenue in the Beach District. The applicant's representative
is Alexis Taylor. Ms. Taylor you have up to 10 minutes,please state your name for
the record. Thank you. Casey are you on the WebEx.
Ms. Taylor: Can you hear me? Good afternoon, this is Alexis Taylor can you hear me. Hi, my
name is Alexis Taylor, I am representing my boyfriend Casey Kruemcke on our
property at 133 Ackiss Avenue for a Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term
Rental. We have a single a family home, a three bedroom, two bath, three parking
spots, one parking spot per bed. We are on a corner lot by a dead end street about
1.2 miles from the oceanfront. We are wanting to use our property for AirBnB. We
did this last year before the changes were made to obtaining a Conditional Use
Permit and we got our permit through the City, paid the $50 fee and we had great
success with it. So, we are hoping to do it again. There are several other homes
around us that also work in Short Term Rentals.This was our personal home,Casey
is in the military which required us to move to Norfolk, so,we are hoping to be able
to continue to keep this house and use it as a Short Term Rental.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Is there any questions at this time? If you'll just stand by Ms. Taylor and we
will be back with you. I do believe we have a speaker is that correct Mr. Landfair?
So, we have a speaker and then we will touch back with you. Okay.
Mr. Landfair: Thank you, Madam Chair. We have one speaker Darrell Satterfield. Mr. Satterfield
please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Satterfield:My name is Chief Petty Officer, Darrell Satterfield. I currently live at 133 Ackiss
Avenue. I have signed a year's lease, which will actually run out in April of next
1
year and also, in my lease, I can renew my lease. Since seeing this sign put up in
the yard, I have tried to contact my property manager, so, it was put up on May 26,
and since I have tried to call REMAX Realty numerous times, I understand due to
the COVID, they have been hard to reach, actually it has been impossible to reach.
So, I live there.
Ms. Oliver: One second. This is a new one.
Mr. Satterfield: I think it is a property manager not giving them the money they should be making,
that is not on me.
Ms. Oliver: So, you currently live there and you signed a year's lease.
Mr. Satterfield: Yes madam. With conditions I can renew. I am actually in the process of retiring.
And when I retire, I will be leaving the area. But, I wish,I will be there at least until
April 2021. So, I live there.
Ms. Oliver: Let me ask you. So, have they given you notice?
Mr. Satterfield: The first thing that I found was the orange sign in my yard and that was done on
May 26.
Ms. Oliver: Right. But, have they given you notice to terminate your lease early?
Mr. Satterfield: No. Actually, I have tried getting with REMAX and nothing.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Obviously, they cannot terminate it, at least he has got a lease and they are obviously
getting themselves set up for when he leaves, I guess.
Ms. Oliver: Short Term Rental.
Mr. Inman: But, you would think they would tell him what is going on.
Ms. Oliver: You would think they would have the courtesy to tell you.
Mr. Satterfield: Yes.
Ms. Oliver: That they were planning on after. I am assuming and we will find out after your
lease is up that they would want to go to a Short Term Rental.
Mr. Satterfield: Right.
Mr. Weiner: How long have you live there.
Mr. Satterfield: I moved in April.
2
Mr. Weiner: Okay, the past April 2020.
Mr. Satterfield: Yes.
Mr. Weiner: Okay.
Mr. Satterfield: In my in my lease, I have an option to renew.
Mr. Weiner: Before you were there they were doing Short Term Rental.
Mr. Satterfield: I do not know.
Mr. Weiner: I understand, okay. So, now you are living there for a one year lease, okay.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Anybody have any questions? We are not sure what to ask, this is the first
for us, so, you'll just have to give us a second.
Mr. Weiner: Let me refer to staff for a minute, I mean the only thing we can do is, the lease, the
owner releases the property.
Ms. Wilson: This is between them and they will work it out all eventually.
Mr. Weiner: Does not really have anything to do with the application.
Ms. Oliver: I would assume that your option to renew is probably not an option.
Mr. Satterfield: It is in my lease that says I can.
Mr. Inman: If it is in his lease, it is his lease.
Ms. Oliver: In his lease.
Mr. Satterfield: Right, it is in my lease. So, if I have to stay, like say they don't let me retire. The
longest I will be in is April 2022. That is my max, I will be out of the military by
then.
Mr. Weiner: I would definitely make an attempt to either go to your leasing agent. You know
what I mean, that is your first step is get to leasing agent.
Mr. Satterfield: And I have.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Satterfield: A lot.
Mr. Inman: Who are we talking with on is virtual?
Ms. Oliver: That is the owner, but she must.
3
Mr. Satterfield: The owner's girlfriends.
Ms. Oliver: She leases it through a company REMAX.
Mr. Satterfield: REMAX, Yes, madam.
Ms. Oliver: So, REMAX handles that and then they are going to.
Mr. Weiner: She is the applicant, let's ask her what's up.
Ms. Oliver: We will. Thank you very much. If you can get Miss.
Mr. Redmond: No, I was just going to say there is nothing to prevent someone from getting a
Conditional Use Permit, Short Term Rentals, even if they do not lease it on a short
term basis, they may have a lessee and they are going to think go through the
process and spend money and have it in place. I mean they may be anticipating like
the last applicant was anticipating that there is going to be a change in the status of
these down the road and they might be trying to get one you know kind of get in
before the doors begins to close. So, I do not know that these what we are talking
about, necessarily, you would want to ask her.
Mr. Landfair: Ms. Taylor, are you available.
Ms. Taylor: Yes,hanging on.
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Taylor, obviously you have a long-term renter in your home currently, that
seems to have some questions. Yes, Mr. Tajan.
Mr. Tajan: Sorry. Yes,because it is a WebEx we have to delay three seconds to allow to switch
over so, I apologize.
Ms. Oliver: No, sorry,my fault.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, would you like to restate the question?
Ms. Oliver: Yes, thank you. Ms. Taylor, it appears that while you are applying for a Conditional
Use Permit for Short Term Rental, you have a long term rental in your home, that
seems to be concerned about his lease and the option to renew. Can you speak on
this please?
Ms. Taylor: Yes. Can you hear me?
Mr. Landfair: Yes.
Ms. Taylor: I am not sure if you can hear me.
Mr. Landfair: Yes we can here.
4
Ms. Taylor: Yes. Yeah, so,this looks like this is definitely a mix up in communication. So,what
happened was we used this house for AirBnB last summer and then all of the
changes went through and we were told that the process to get a Conditional Use
Permit could take months. So, we knew that we would not be able to do AirBnB
without getting approval for that. And because we moved to Norfolk, and Casey
wanted to keep this house we decided to talk to a property manager and get someone
in for a long-term lease. So,the only reason that we are applying for the Short-Term
Rental is for after he's done living in the home. We are just doing this to get ready
for the future because we know that this is such a long process now that we just
want to be ahead of the game. So, it was never our intention to kick him out of the
house. We are well aware that he's there and that he has a lease with us. We are just
doing this to get ready for when his lease is completed.
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Taylor, I have a question for you. Did you state that you had been operating
this house last year as an AirBnB?
Ms. Taylor: We did, we had the, we went through the City and we got the tax forms and we
registered it through the City. And then we saw that all of the rules changed for that
so, we had to do the full Conditional Use Permit application. That was never told
to us last year. So, we did it during the summer.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Thank you. Any questions for Ms. Taylor. Okay, thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, there are no more speakers for this item.
Ms. Oliver: Right, sir if you do not mind coming up to the podium, please just for a quick
second. I hope this answers your questions?
Mr. Satterfield: It does.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, to your satisfaction?
Mr. Satterfield: Yes.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Great.
Mr. Satterfield: Alright.
Ms. Oliver: Well, glad we could be some help.
Mr. Satterfield: Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Alright. Well, I will close this and open it up to the Commission for a motion or a
discussion. And is there anybody, I do not think anybody needs to abstain from this
vote.
5
Mr. Weiner: Madam Chair, there is no discussion, I move approval of item 11.
Ms. Oliver: Alright, we have a motion on the floor, and have an approval by Commissioner
Weiner, seconded by Commissioner Horsley, and Marchelle, we can go ahead and
open the vote.

today to Agenda number five and Mr. Landfair, will you be kind enough to get us
started.
Mr. Tajan: So, just as a reminder to the Commissioners and those that are speaking please
make sure that you speak into your microphones clearly. We do have folks that are
watching in other buildings and paying attention to their turn to speak, so, please
speak clearly and into your microphone. Also, I will mention for the record, Mr.
Barnes is going to continue.

AGENDA ITEM j
ITEM: 3D BUILDER INVESTMENTS, LLC [Applicant & Property Owner]
Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the property located at 421
21st Street (GPIN 24270823850002). COUNCIL DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a four-bedroom
Short Term Rental in one unit of a duplex structure located in the Resort Area of
the City. The property contains a second duplex structure on the alley. One of
these rear units was approved for a Short Term Rental by City Council on July 7,
2020; the other rear unit has been rescheduled for the joint Planning
Commission/City Council public hearing on August 25, 2020. The neighboring
property to the east, which has the same site configuration of two duplexes on one
property, was approved by City Council July 7, 2020 for Short Term Rentals for all
four units on that property. The 7,860 square foot site is zoned OR Oceanfront
Resort District. The maximum occupancy of guests permitted in the four-bedroom
unit after 11:00 p.m. is 12; however, the applicant is agreeable with City Council's
most recent Short Term Rental condition revisions that reduce the overnight guest
calculation to two per bedroom, or eight total overnight guests, as well as a revised
condition that limits the number of bookings in a seven day period from two to one.
These modifications are indicated in the conditions below by underlined and
strikethrough text.
• Considerations:
The site is located three blocks from the public beaches of the Atlantic Ocean in
an area at the oceanfront where Short Term Rentals are common and expected.
The submitted parking plan depicts two stacked parking spaces located on a
permeable paver driveway accessed from the alley (21st IA Street). The other two
required spaces are proposed to be leased from the 25th Street Municipal Parking
Garage, which is within IA mile of the site. The Zoning Administrator has reviewed
the parking plan and finds this approach acceptable. Since the property is within
the boundary of the Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP), parking passes
issued for the subject dwelling unit will be limited to two resident passes for each
unit only. Guest and temporary passes will not be permitted while the Conditional
Use Permit is active. Staff believes that all other requirements of Section 241.2 of
the Zoning Ordinance regarding Short Term Rentals can be reasonably met.
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 request.

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: JOHN LOVERING & KRISTEN LOVERING [Applicants] JOHN LOVERING
[PROPERTY OWNER] Conditional Use Permit (Short Term Rental) for the
property located at 1718 Baltic Avenue (GPIN 24270730526750). COUNCIL
DISTRICT — BEACH
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
• Background:
This request is for a Conditional Use Permit for a Short Term Rental in a two-
bedroom unit located within a 14-unit condominium building on property zoned OR
Oceanfront Resort District. City records indicate that the building was built in 1984.
The minimum number of parking spaces required for this use is one per bedroom,
or two spaces in this instance. The maximum number of guests permitted on the
property after 11:00 p.m. is six; however, the applicant is agreeable with City
Council's most recent Short Term Rental condition revisions that reduce the
overnight guest calculation to two per bedroom, or six total overnight guests.
Furthermore, the applicant is also agreeable to conditioning the number of
bookings in a seven day period from two to one.
• Considerations:
Two additional units in this condominium have submitted Conditional Use Permit
applications for Short Term Rentals; Unit 1738 was approved by City Council on
June 9, 2020, and Unit 1728 was approved by City Council on July 14, 2020. All
three of these units have two bedrooms, and each unit has one reserved on-site
parking space. There are seven unreserved spaces on the property that can be
leased from the condominium association for the exclusive use of the lessee to
fulfill the parking requirement for Short Term Rentals. If the applicant is unable to
secure the required second on-site parking space, the conditions are drafted to
allow for the option to lease a parking space off-site if it is within a reasonable
distance from the property, as determined by the Zoning Administrator. Consistent
with the previous applications (Units 1728 and 1738), Condition #2 is included to
address this scenario and includes a requirement for proof of lease for any off-site
parking. As the site is within the designated Resort Parking Permit Program area,
a condition is recommended that prohibits the use of guest and temporary passes
for the subject unit while the Conditional Use Permit is active. 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 request.

Background & Summary of Proposal
Site Conditions and History
• The site is a 16,800 square-foot parcel zoned OR Oceanfront Resort District.
• The proposed two-bedroom Short Term Rental will occupy one unit of a 14-unit condominium complex that was
constructed in 1984. Each unit has a designated parking space. There are 21 parking spaces on site.
• Two additional applications for Short Term Rental use are pending consideration on the same site at the time
this Staff report was written. They are expected to be considered by the City Council on June 9th and July 14th
Both applications propose to lease one additional on-site guest space for the duration of the Short Term Rental
use and shall provide proof of lease prior to operation.
• Staff inspected the site on April 14, 2020 to observe site conditions and take photographs for this report.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The Short Term Rental request is for an existing two-bedroom condominium unit built in 1984.To satisfy the parking
requirement, the applicant proposes to secure and maintain an additional on-site leased guest parking space for the
duration of the Short Term Rental use. As is typical with each Short Term Rental application, a condition is
recommended, Condition 2,that requires that the off-street parking be provided as required by Section 241.2 of the City
Zoning Ordinance or as approved by City Council.
Since the property is within the boundaries of the Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP), parking passes issued for
the subject dwelling unit will be limited to two resident passes for each unit;guest and temporary passes will not be
permitted while the Conditional Use Permit is active.
Based on the considerations above, Staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions listed below, which
have been modified to follow City Council's direction limiting maximum occupancy to two per bedroom and rentals to
one per week.

ITEM: THALIA ROAD PARTNERS, LLC [Applicant] WAYSIDE VILLAGE SHOPPES,
LLC & WILLIS REALTY CORPORATION [Property Owner] Conditional
Rezoning (B-2 Community Business District to Conditional B-4 Mixed-Use
District) for property located at 4216 & 4220 Virginia Beach Boulevard
(GPINs 1477953769, 1477955573), COUNCIL DISTRICT — LYNNHAVEN
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2020
■ Background:
The applicant, Thalia Road Partners, LLC, is seeking a Conditional Rezoning of
the subject property from the B-2 District Community Business District to
Conditional B-4 Mixed-Use District to redevelop the site with three new buildings
containing up to 261 multi-family dwelling units and not more than 35,778 square
feet of commercial uses.
The 9.30-acre property contains two parcels and has frontage along Virginia Beach
Boulevard and Thalia Drive. These properties are currently developed with a
19,000 square foot grocery store, a 65,000 square foot furniture store/warehouse,
and approximately 32,000 square feet of retail and restaurant uses. The existing
grocery store and a 10,000 square foot, free-standing commercial building in the
southwest corner of the property will be retained. The remaining commercial uses
will be demolished and redeveloped by one ownership entity under the proposal.
Building 1 is proposed as a four-story podium-style building with ground floor
parking, for a total of five stories. Commercial space is planned for a portion of the
ground floor with an orientation towards Virginia Beach Boulevard. The building
will be adjacent to the existing grocery store with a similar setback of 170 feet from
Virginia Beach Boulevard and is 300 feet from the residential property line to the
north. Building 2 is depicted on the proffered plan to be located between Building
1 and the 16 proposed townhouse-style apartments to the north. No commercial
uses are contemplated in this five-story multi-family structure. The three-story
townhouses are proposed on the northernmost portion of the property adjacent to
the residential neighborhood to the north. The townhouses will maintain a
minimum setback of 105 feet from the residential property line and a distance of
120 feet from the nearest single-family houses. As depicted in the proffered
elevations, the architecture reflects a traditional style utilizing high quality building
elements including brick and fiber cement siding as well as a neutral color palette.

• Considerations:
The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for the
Suburban Area,which calls for a balance of high quality residential and commercial
redevelopment including the mixing of uses through the redevelopment of aging
shopping centers. As stated in the Plan, this can be achieved through compatibility
with surroundings, high quality and attractive site design and buildings, sufficient
amounts of open space and effective buffering, and a reasonable relationship to
the surrounding uses. The location of the taller massing of buildings closer to
Virginia Beach Boulevard is consistent with the permitted development height in
surrounding business zoning districts while the transition to three-story townhouse
stye apartments is consistent with the permitted height with the surrounding single-
family and townhouse zoning districts. In Staffs view, and the Planning
Commission concurred, these principles are addressed in the application. Further
details related to this analysis are provided in the Staff report.
The site design is defined by a grid of internal driveways that will improve internal
circulation utilizing the existing vehicular entrances from Virginia Beach Boulevard
and Thalia Drive. The submitted Traffic Impact Analysis concluded that the
development will not produce any adverse traffic impacts to adjacent roadways or
intersections.
The applicant submitted a Shared Parking Analysis based on a total of 553 parking
spaces, which is less than the minimum number of parking spaces (614) required
for the use per Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance. The concept includes parking
spaces to be shared between the residents and visitors associated with the multi-
family units and the employees and customers of the commercial uses. Shared
parking is well-suited for this redevelopment, given the periods of peak parking
demand for the apartment and the commercial uses occurring at different times
and can share the same parking areas. Additionally, residents of the apartment
complex will not require additional parking spaces to visit the commercial uses.
Based on comments presented at the Planning Commission public hearing, the
applicant revised the concept plan to provide 45 additional spaces. This results in
a total of 598 parking spaces, just 16 spaces shy of the requirement.
The development will be designed to convey stormwater runoff to a proposed
stormwater management facility before flowing to the existing public drainage
system within the adjacent rights-of-way which ultimately ouffall at Thalia Creek.
The design has demonstrated adequate conveyance for storms up to and including
the 100-year event plus 1.5' of sea-level rise. The pre-development impervious
area is 6.79 acres, compared to a post-development impervious area of 6.99
acres.
The application was considered by the Planning Commission on June 24, 2020 at
which time they passed a motion by a recorded vote of 8-2, to recommend approval
of the request. There were 56 speakers at the public hearing. Those opposed
expressed concerns including but not limited to the resulting density, the building
Thalia Road Partners, LLC

height, the traffic generated, the number of parking spaces, the impact on schools,
and stormwater management and runoff.
• Recommendations:
On June 24, 2020, the Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend
approval of this request by a vote of 8-2. Due to an advertising error, the item is
rescheduled for the August 18, 2020 joint session with Planning Commission and
City Council.

Background & Summary of Proposal
• The applicant seeks a Conditional Rezoning of the subject property from the B-2 District Community Business
District to Conditional B-4 Mixed-Use District to redevelop much of the site with up to 261 multi-family dwelling
units and 35,778 square feet of commercial uses. The 9.30-acre property contains two parcels and has frontage
along Virginia Beach Boulevard and Thalia Drive. These properties are currently developed with a 19,054 square
foot grocery store, a 64,750 square foot furniture store/warehouse, and approximately 32,224 square feet of
retail and restaurant uses.
• The submitted proffered concept plan depicts the retention of the existing grocery store and a 10,224 square
foot, free-standing commercial building located in the southwest corner of the property. The remaining
commercial uses will be demolished and replaced with three buildings that will contain up to 261 multi-family
dwelling units and up to 6,500 square feet of new retail and restaurant uses.
• The proffered elevations depict traditional style architecture for all proposed structures, featuring a neutral
color palette with varying finishes to break up the building massing.
• Building 1, as indicated on the proffered concept plan, is proposed as a four-story podium-style building with
ground floor parking, for a total of five stories. The building will be 60 feet high at its tallest point and will be
adjacent to the existing grocery store with a similar setback of approximately 170 feet from Virginia Beach
Boulevard. The structure is proposed as a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and will contain
amenities for the apartment tenants to include a swimming pool within a central courtyard, a fitness center, and
a community room. Commercial space is planned for a portion of the ground floor (approximately 6,500 square
feet), with an orientation towards Virginia Beach Boulevard. The parking under the building will serve both the
apartment and commercial uses.
• Building 2, as indicated on the proffered plan, will be located north of Building 1, and is also designed as a five-
story structure with a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment units with parking on the ground floor.
No commercial uses are proposed within this building.
• Sixteen, three-story townhouses (35 feet tall) are proposed on the northernmost portion of the property,
serving as a transition in height between the adjacent existing single-family dwellings to the north (the majority
of which are two stories in height) and the proposed five-story structures to the south. Each townhouse will
contain a single-car garage and a parking space in each individual driveway.
• The original proffered plan depicted€1e{picts 553 parking spaces that are proposed to be shared by both the
multi-family units and the commercial uses. Based on that number of spaces, the applicant submitted a Shared
Parking Analysis that was reviewed by Staff, as set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. Details of that analysis are
provided below in the Evaluation section of this report.
• Based on comments presented at the June 24, 2020, Planning Commision public hearing, the applicant revised
the concept plan to provide 45 additional spaces. This results in a total of 598 parking spaces, lust 16 spaces shy
of the requirement.
• Where possible, existing mature trees will be maintained, particularly along the northern edge of the site
adjacent to the single-family residential neighborhood. As required, a vegetated buffer is proposed adjacent to
the residentially-zoned properties. This 20-foot wide buffer exceeds the minimum width requirement of 15 feet.
Foundation plantings, parking lot interior plantings, and enhanced street frontage plantings are all proposed and
depicted on the concept plan.
Thalia Road Partners, LLC
Agenda Item 4

• The applicant has filed a Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) application for both housing and
commercial financing under their Workforce Housing Program on this subject property. The developer has
chosen to set-aside 20% of the residential units at 80%of Area Median Income* for as long as the VHDA loan is
in place. There is a 10-year lockout period, where the owner cannot refinance the loan. The developer can
refinance after 10 years. If this were to happen, the City could record an additional use restriction subordinate
to VHDA for a longer period. As the proposed development has a commercial component, the property must
be located within a designated Revitalization Area. This designation would require the approval of the City
Council. A resolution for a revitalization area would be considered by City Council if this application is approved.
*The area median income is the midpoint of a region's income distribution, meaning that half of households in a region
earn more than the median and half earn less than the median. In Virginia Beach the median family income for a family of 4
is$82,500.

Evaluation & Recommendation
The proposed Conditional Rezoning request to redevelop the property with a mixed-use development containing 261
multi-family units and 35,778 square feet of commercial uses is, in Staff's opinion, acceptable. The request is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations for the Suburban Area, which calls for the balance of high quality
residential and commercial redevelopment including the mixing of uses. The Comprehensive Plan calls for the renewal
of aging commercial centers that transition commercial development to residential neighborhoods. This is achieved
through compatibility with surroundings, high quality and attractive site design and buildings, sufficient amounts of
open space and effective buffering, and a reasonable relationship to the surrounding uses. Staff believes these
principles are addressed in the application as described below.
The entire property has been zoned B-2 Community Business District for more than 40 years. By-right redevelopment of
the site could include any of the permitted uses identified in the Zoning Ordinance, such as beverage manufacturing
shops, eating and drinking establishments, and personal service establishments. None of these uses are residential in
nature. The proposed uses include commercial businesses that are consistent and compatible with the existing retail and
restaurant uses on the site, as well as with the surrounding commercial uses that exist in the vicinity of the property
Thalia Road Partners, LLC
Agenda Item 4
Page 3
along Virginia Beach Boulevard. While the property has been historically commercial, the introduction of dwellings on
this site in Staffs view is compatible with the surroundings,which includes residential, commercial and office uses, and
provides a "reasonable relationship to the surrounding uses," as called for in the Comprehensive Plan. Consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan's recommendation for attractive site design,the layout includes a transition in building heights
from the two-story single-family dwellings to the north (all but one are two-stories in height)to the three-story
townhouse units closest to the northern property line to the five-story buildings closer to Virginia Beach Boulevard.The
proposed townhouse-style units align with the R-2.5 Residential Townhouse District zoning immediately adjacent to the
east.The townhouse-style units are approximately 120 feet from the single-family homes to the north.
As depicted on the proffered concept plan, the site design is defined by a grid of internal driveways utilizing the existing
vehicular entrances from Virginia Beach Boulevard and Thalia Drive.This scheme provides vehicular circulation and a
parking layout that is better organized than the existing condition.The buildings will frame and reinforce the vehicular
and pedestrian circulation. Sidewalks proposed throughout the site will allow for easy pedestrian access to all buildings
and parking areas and direct pedestrian connections will be provided to the sidewalk along Virginia Beach Boulevard.
Bike rack areas will be provided in each parking garage as required. Dumpsters and related service infrastructure will be
located with the multi-family building garages and/or integrated into building facades.
On the advice of Staff, the applicant revised the architecture to reflect a traditional style with "residential" elements
including mansard roofs and dormers. It is Staff's opinion that the proposed exterior building materials of brick and fiber
cement siding depicted on the proffered elevations are of high quality, meeting the Comprehensive Plan's vision of high
quality and attractive buildings.The use of varied materials reduces the massing of Buildings 1 and 2 into vertical
elements, reinforced by the roof line. The substantial use of brick along the first floor of these buildings will
architecturally"ground"the buildings and will provide continuity of design between the existing and future structures.
The use of brick along the ground floors also provides effective screening of parked vehicles on the ground floor. The
color palette for the upper floors includes gray and light neutral colors to complement the brick. While smaller in scale,
the townhouses use many of the same architectural elements and color palette found in Buildings 1 and 2 to achieve a
cohesive look.
There is an existing wooded buffer along the northern property line, providing screening from the existing commercial
and warehouse activities on the site to the adjacent single-family residential neighborhood.There are several mature
trees throughout the site that the applicant seeks to protect and retain, recognizing that other than along the northern
property line many of the existing mature trees will be removed. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a minimum 15-foot wide
Category IV landscape buffer is required adjacent to residential properties; however, a 20-foot wide buffer is proposed
to better protect the existing tree canopy and to enhance screening. To fully implement the Comprehensive Plan's
recommendation for effective buffers and open space, native evergreen understory trees will be added in strategic
locations where there are openings in the under-story to provide an enhanced visual screen to the residential uses, but
much of the screening will come from the existing preserved vegetation. An irrigation system is planned for the wooded
area to promote vigorous growth and to sustain the trees after the construction.Specific for the future residents of the
multi-family units, outdoor amenity space will be located within the courtyard of Building 1.
In addition, street trees,ornamental plantings, and other landscape material are proposed along the public sidewalks
and interior walkways to provide visual interest and enhancement. Foundation plantings, parking lot interior plantings,
and enhanced street frontage plantings as depicted on the proffered plan.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)was submitted for the project and reviewed and approved by Traffic Engineering Staff.
The report concludes that the redevelopment is not expected to produce any adverse traffic impacts to adjacent
roadways or intersections. The redevelopment will result in an increase in the number of Average Daily Trips (ADTs) for
the site as the site is currently developed; however,the resulting ADTs are significantly less than what potentially could
be generated if the property was redeveloped by-right with more of a retail and restaurant focus. Specifics can be found
in the Traffic Impacts section of this report on page 8.
Thalia Road Partners, LLC
Agenda Item 4
Page 4
Staff does have concerns about the potential for queueing of traffic on northbound Thalia Road from the Virginia Beach
Boulevard signalized intersection. The applicant is aware that at some point in the future Traffic Engineering Staff may
require that the existing southernmost vehicular access point on Thalia Road be modified from a full access point to a
right-in/right-out access point. This modification will be necessary if it is determined that the queue from the traffic
signal backs vehicles up through this point of ingress/egress, causing a safety issue for left turning vehicles in and out of
the site.
A total of 553 parking spaces were originally afe proposed for this redevelopment which is less than the minimum
number of parking spaces (614) required for this use per Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance. As permitted in Section
203 of the Zoning Ordinance,the applicant submitted a Shared Parking Analysis for review by the Zoning Administrator
to support the reduced number of spaces. Below is a summary of the parking requirements, the Shared Parking Analysis
and Staffs position and determination.
• For multi-family development,Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance requires two parking spaces for the first fifty
(50) units,then 1.75 parking spaces per each additional unit.This development proposes 261 units,which
equates to 470 required spaces.The townhome-style units(classified as multi-family dwellings as they are not
each on an individual lot)will use one space within a dedicated enclosed garage, and one space within a
dedicated driveway.
• The commercial uses on the property are considered a shopping center with a parking ratio of one space per
two-hundred and fifty(250) square feet of area. Including the existing and proposed commercial development,
144 spaces would be required.
Based on the proposed mix of uses of multi-family (apartments) and commercial (retail and restaurants), the Shared
Parking Analysis concludes that the number of parking spaces proposed is sufficient to accommodate the parking
demand for the entire site during peak parking demands,which has been determined to be 7:00 p.m.for both weekdays
and weekends. Based on the analysis, the average parking demand during the peak period is estimated to require 492
parking spaces for a weekday and 494 spaces on the weekend. The original proposal with 553 spaces exceeded excccd:,
the noted peak demand on both the weekday(by 61 spaces)and on the weekend (by 59 spaces). To ensure that the
square footage of the retail and restaurant uses remains consistent with the figures used to calculate these parking
demands, the proffer agreement limits the amount of new commercial square footage to no more than 6,500 square
feet. Additionally,the proffer agreement regulates the number of studio, efficiency, one-,two-and three-bedrooms
apartment units permitted on site. Of the 261 proposed dwelling units,a minimum number of 200 efficiency, studio,
studio flat and/or one-bedroom units are proffered, therefore limiting the amount of parking needed. With 598 parking
spaces now proposed,Over41,this results in a ratio of 1.74 4,3 bedrooms per unit which is greater significantly le" than
the average of 1.7 bedrooms per unit found in suburban apartment complexes but less than aad 1.9 bedrooms per unit
in urban complexes, according to the Institute for Transportation Engineers (ITE).
Shared parking is well-suited for this redevelopment,given the periods of peak parking demand for the apartment and
the commercial uses occurring at different times and can share the same parking areas.Additionally,Staff recognizes the
parking analysis' internal capture rate, where residents of the apartment complex will not require additional parking
spaces to visit the commercial uses. For the reasons stated above, the Zoning Administrator has determined that the
submitted shared parking scenario is acceptable.
Even though the Comprehensive Plan recommends preliminary stormwater management strategies be submitted
generally for projects only in the Southern Rivers watershed, at the request of Staff, details regarding the proposed
stormwater management strategy were submitted to the Development Services Center for review. The strategy
contained the full scope of elements provided for such a review including impacts of increased rainfall amounts and sea
level rise. The applicant provided a proffer that requires the system to be designed to accommodate the City of Virginia
Beach's current 24-hour rainfall amounts plus a 20% increase as expected for future changing rainfall patterns, provided
the City of Virginia Beach does not require additional modifications to the site plan which make such design reasonably
impractical.The proposed system will tie into the existing stormwater drainage infrastructure on-site with no changes
Thalia Road Partners, LLC
Agenda Item 4
Page 5
proposed to the existing public storm sewer. The design demonstrates adequate conveyance of the runoff from the
proposed development for storms up to and including the 100-year event plus 1.5 feet of sea level rise. The DSC Staff
agrees that the proposed conceptual stormwater management strategy has the potential to successfully comply with
the stormwater requirements for this site. Final design and detailed updates will be made during site plan submittal.
Additional details regarding stormwater management for the project can be found beginning on page 9 of this report.
With respect to school impacts, Virginia Beach City Public Schools Staff find that the number of students generated by
the development will be accommodated by all schools serving the neighborhood based on their current enrollment and
capacity. These schools are Thalia Elementary, Independence Middle, and Princess Anne High and are currently within
an acceptable utilization range of+/- 10%of optimum capacity
In summary,Staff finds the request consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's recommendations as outlined above. The
proposed redevelopment features high-quality traditional architecture, preservation of an established wooded buffer,
and landscape enhancements will help to ensure a reasonable relationship to the surrounding residential neighborhood.
Traffic is not expected to adversely affect adjacent roadways and intersections, on-site parking will be adequate during
peak parking periods, stormwater management has the potential to successfully comply with requirements for the site,
and public schools are deemed capable of accommodating future students from the apartments. The applicant's intent
to set-aside 20%of the residential units at 80%of Area Median Income is consistent with the City Council's goals for
improving the supply of workforce housing. Based on the considerations above,Staff recommends approval of the
Conditional Rezoning request subject to the submitted proffers below.

Staff Comments: The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the agreement and found it to be legally sufficient and in
acceptable legal form. Staff notes that proffer 1 originally permitted s up to 265 multi-family dwelling units and
proffer 2 indicated indicates no more than 36,278 square feet of commercial will be provided. These numbers are a
slight increase above what is presented in the Shared Parking Analysis—up to 261 multi-family units and up to 29,778
square feet of commercial. The parking analysis revealed an excess of at least 59 parking spaces during peak demand
times, which would be more than enough spaces to accommodate 265 units and 36,278 square feet of commercial uses.
These differences equate to the need for eight more parking spaces, which remains far less than the 59 spaces deemed
available in the analysis. For reasons of consistency, the applicant has since revised stated their intention to revise the
proffers between the Planning Commission and City Council meetings to reflect the numbers provided in the Shared
Parking Study (261 units and 35,778 total square feet of commercial uses).
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan identifies this site as being located within the Suburban Area. The general planning principles
for the Suburban Area focus on creating and maintaining great neighborhoods through stability and sustainability;
protecting and enhancing open spaces and places of cultural and historical significance; and creating and maintaining a
transportation system that provides connectivity and mobility. Achieving these goals requires that all land use activities
either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and
attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability, and effective buffering
with respect to type, size, intensity and relationship to the surrounding uses.
Natural & Cultural Resources Impacts
The site is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The property was once the site of the Tidewater Victory Memorial
Hospital, completed in 1937. The hospital building later became the headquarters for a United States Army camp during
World War II. From 1944 to 1946 it served as Camp Ashby POW camp for German soldiers. In the 1950's,the
hospital/army headquarters building became Willis Wayside Furniture store. The 1937 building has been demolished
and there are no historic buildings or structures remaining on the property.

Master Transportation Plan (MTP) and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Virginia Beach Boulevard in the vicinity of this application is considered an eight-lane divided major urban arterial. The
MTP proposes an eight-lane facility within a 155-foot right-of-way. No roadway CIP projects are slated for this roadway.
Thalia Road in the vicinity of this application is considered a two-lane undivided collector/local street. It is not included
within the MTP.
The Virginia Beach Boulevard/Thalia Road signalized intersection operates under capacity and in 2018 had a 0.69 volume
to capacity ratio for the peak hour period. The intersection ranks 90th out of 378 signalized intersections in Virginia
Beach for crash rate for the 2016-2018 period.
Public Utility Impacts
Water
There is an existing six-inch and eight-inch City water main, and a 16-inch and a 20-inch City water transmission main
along Virginia Beach Boulevard. There is a 10-inch City water main along Thalia Road. The development must connect
to City water.
There are multiple water meters serving the site. Existing services may be used or upgraded to accommodate the
proposed development.
Sewer
There is a 12-inch City sanitary sewer gravity main that increases to a 15-inch gravity main along Virginia Beach
Boulevard, and a 12-inch City sanitary sewer gravity main along Thalia Road.
The site is connected to City sanitary sewer. Based on the project information provided, the receiving gravity collection
system was determined to have insufficient capacity to accommodate the calculated peak sewer flows. A full
evaluation will be performed with review of an engineered site plan when more information is known. The applicant
will be responsible for providing capacity enhancements if necessary, to serve their development. In this case, it could
potentially involve replacement and upsizing of one or more gravity sewer mains. The public sanitary pump station on N
Palm Ave (PS-264) will receive sewage flows from this project. This pump station was recently replaced and is sized to
provide capacity for the proposed development.
Water Capacity for Domestic and Fire Flows
A full evaluation of water capacity for domestic and fire flows will be performed with review of an engineered site plan.
Staff does not anticipate insufficient water capacity for this project; however, if calculations provided during site plan
review do reveal an issue, the applicant will be required to make system upgrades to mitigate any adverse impact of the
development.
Stormwater Impacts
Project Stormwater Design Staff Summary
The project site is divided into 4 drainage areas with the majority of the proposed apartment project designed to convey
stormwater runoff from 4.08 acres to a proposed stormwater management facility (SWMF) before flowing to the
existing public drainage system within the Thalia Drive right-of-way and ultimately outfalling to an existing outfall at
Thalia Creek. 1.91 acres of the site's runoff will convey to the existing public drainage system in the Virginia Beach
Boulevard right-of-way which also outfalls into an existing outfall at Thalia Creek. The proposed system will tie into the
existing stormwater drainage infrastructure on-site with no changes proposed to the existing public storm sewer. The
1.32-acre area of the site that currently directs perimeter surface drainage toward adjacent properties has been
Thalia Road Partners, LLC
Agenda Item 4
Page 9
significantly reduced to 0.22 acres (consisting of the perimeter tree-save areas)with the design and will continue to
drain in this direction. The remaining 3.07-acre area of existing retail will continue to drain to the existing SWMF
infiltration basin on site.
The proposed SWMF is an underground detention system under the proposed northern parking area and is to include
isolator rows within the chambers to provide water quality treatment. The proposed SWMF will be installed several feet
below existing grade and allows for adequate space to install the parking pavement section above the system without
needing to elevate or increase the final grade of the site.
An existing stormwater infiltration basin is located on-site which was designed and installed with the Willis Wayside
Retail Expansion. This existing SWMF is not being utilized to capture or treat any runoff from the proposed project.
Through the post-construction as-built review process, it became known that the existing facility is ponding water due to
reduced infiltration and which needs to be addressed. To limit construction impact and eliminate the possibility of
potential damage of the repaired facility from new construction, staff believes it would be best to address the needed
repairs with the construction of the apartment project. If the apartment project does not move forward, Public Works
will proceed with the standard process to bring the facility back into compliance.
The provided preliminary stormwater management design demonstrates adequate conveyance of the runoff from the
proposed development for storms up to and including the 100-year event plus 1.5'of sea-level rise (SLR). The model
included an offsite analysis to verify that the project will not have a negative impact or increase flooding levels on the
existing stormwater system upstream or downstream.
Based on the information provided by Gaddy Engineering Services in the preliminary stormwater analysis, the DSC
agrees that the proposed conceptual stormwater management strategy has the potential to successfully comply with
the stormwater requirements for this site. Final design and detailed updates will be made during site plan submittal.
More detailed project stormwater information is listed below.
Project Information
Total project area: 9.28 Acres
Pre-Development impervious area: 6.79 Acres
Post-Development impervious area: 6.99 Acres
Does the analysis utilize the City of Virginia Beach Master Drainage Model:Yes
Does the analysis incorporate into design increased rainfall amounts(NOAA plus 20%)and account for 1.5'SLR:Yes
Stormwater Management Facility Design Information
Type of facility proposed: Underground storage detention chambers
Total storage volume provided in proposed stormwater management facility: 50,122 cubic feet
Description of outfall: Runoff leaves the site in three directions. Stormwater from the underground storage system will
connect into the outlet pipe for the existing onsite SWMF,which then connects to the Thalia Drive storm sewer system.
There are two pipes onsite that currently connect to the Virginia Beach Boulevard storm sewer system,and the
proposed project will use those existing outfall pipes. A small area will continue to sheet flow around the site perimeter,
but this area is reduced by 83%from existing conditions and does not include any impervious area. All the utilized
existing storm sewer systems outfall to Thalia Creek within ±1100 feet.
Downstream conveyance path:Thalia Creek leads to the Western Branch of the Lynnhaven River, past Little Neck Point
into the Lynnhaven Bay,then eventually under the Lesner Bridge to the Chesapeake Bay.

Stormwater Quality Compliance Design Information
Pounds of phosphorus removal per year(Ib/yr) required: 2.75 lb/yr
Method of treatment proposed: 3.23 lb/yr is removed with underground infiltration chamber system isolator rows
providing an excess of 0.48 lb/yr. Since less area will drain to the existing SWMF post-development therefore reducing
its total nutrient removal, an additional 1.27 lb/yr removal is necessary. This will be accounted for by utilizing the excess
0.48 lb/yr from the underground system and purchasing 0.79 lb/yr in nutrient credits.
Stormwater Quantity Compliance Design Information
Channel protection: Provided stormwater model demonstrates non-erosive velocities of stormwater discharge.
Flood protection: Attenuation of peak flow rates with reduction in hydraulic grade line for 10-year and 100-year storms
(including 1.5' SLR) in all evaluated structures downstream of project site.
100-Year storm evaluation: Stormwater modeling demonstrates project meets requirement of no increase (0.00'
increase in HGL) to any existing flooded areas.
Sea-Level Rise: Project evaluated, and stormwater modeling demonstrates proposed structures will not be inundated
with stormwater during 100-year (including 1.5' SLR) storm event.
School Impacts
School Current Enrollment Capacity Generation 1 Change 2
Thalia Elementary 579 students 576 students 27 students 27 students
Independence Middle 1,274 students 1,247 students 11 students 11 students
Princess Anne High 1,751 students 1,880 students 12 students 12 students
"Generation"represents the number of students that the development will add to the school.
"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).
Virginia Beach City Public Schools Staff find that students will be accommodated within the school buildings for their
respective grade and attendance zone. All schools are currently within an acceptable utilization range of+/- 10% of
optimum capacity.

Conditional Rezoning(B-2 Community Business District to Conditional B-4 Mixed-Use District)
4216&4220 Virginia Beach Boulevard
June 24,2020
RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL-HEARD
Mr. Landfair: Thank you. The last item on today's Agenda is item number five, Thalia Road
Partners LLC, for Conditional Rezoning from B2 Community Business District to
Conditional B4 Mixed Use District at 4216 and 4220 Virginia Beach Boulevard in
the Lynnhaven district. The applicant's representative is Mr. Barry Frankenfield
and he will be joined at the microphone Mr. John Gibson for 10 minutes. Please
state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome Mr. Frankenfield, how are you?
Mr. Frankenfield: Hello Planning Commissioner, I am hanging in there. This is my first venture
into the private sector, so we will see how this goes. I am Barry Frankenfield. I am
a local landscape architect. Some of you might know me as the retired Planning
Director. I was fortunate enough to hand the reins over to Bobby Tajan, who has
by all accounts done a fantastic job of keeping everything going in this very, very
difficult time. We also, want to thank you Staff that has done an excellent job on
the report, and we really appreciate all the work they have done to balance out again
the somewhat difficult issues on this project. You were told this morning, please
note that there are some minor revisions to the proffers. They will be reviewed by
counsel and they are simply to clean up some math areas in the size, the amount of
apartments and the size of the square foot of the retail. My comments will refer to
slides three and six. I won't speak to those slides but I may mention something
about them for you to look at. But as landscape architect, I always look at the
appearance of a project,is it attractive. The design on this project is very attractive.
The buildings are brick and cement. Well done architecture. The project replaces
old warehouse and a business that is out of date, and the site is well done with a
large buffer, 20-foot buffer as well as a space with the parking lot. And again the
townhouses are sized to be lower and transition up to the higher site. The project is
socially equitable with the workforce housing and environmentally appropriate. It's
1
the right mix of the product for the economics of the time. In fact, the project
represents a $45 million investment with approximately $400,000 a year potential
tax revenue. The project is a mix of townhouses, apartments, and retail and you
asked in the briefing they are all rental product, they will have a requirement for
workforce housing, and this is not Low Income Housing. This is simply if you are
of an income $40,000 for a single, $80,000 for a family. You can rent at these
apartments. The units are no different. They are all the same. Everybody can rent
them at the same price. So, there is no significant difference in the product. So, let
us talk about some issues and concerns. I will start with stormwater.I am going to
give you the Barry Frankenfield version of storm water, dirty water pollution,
flooding is not increased by this project. It is a simple fact that redevelopment
reduces flooding, improves the quality and is a much better project. This is the
existing development that has to be retrofitted. Venture has provided a detailed
stormwater report, and in that report they have shown that this project will meet all
existing regulations that have been asked of them, such as the increased rainfall,
will meet the hundred year flood containment requirements and responds to the 1.5
feet potential sea level rise. There is no impact of the storm water to pollution to
water quality. The applicant has also, provided detailed reports for parking and
traffic. This project meets your parking ordinance requirements because it has a
shared use agreement,and your Zoning Administrator has approved it. The product
mix exceeds 70%, either single bedroom efficiency or studio and it also, provides
a tremendous opportunity to share with the retail on the property. Thalia Road,
Virginia Beach Boulevard and the intersection, are all under capacity. So, there is
no significant traffic input here,your traffic engineers have supported that. Looking
at character, which is a big issue is this is the right character, does this belong here.
Looking at the Boulevard from the beach to Norfolk, this is not out of character.
You all know what the Boulevard looks like, you know what is on the Boulevard.
It is everything from the car dealerships, the big box to apartments, retail strip
shops. On page five your hand-out would show what we understand to be the Thalia
District. Now, what we did is we took all those places named Thalia, and we put a
line around them. So, if you look at that district, well over 50% of that district is
rental. So, rental is not out of character with this district at all. So, finally, let us
talk about the B2 zoning, which exists. B2 zoning allows big box, allows retail and
drive through restaurants and other things,but this is a Conditional Rezoning. What
you see is what you get. You will get no big box, no drive thru and no change to
what is approved. So, that is the overall summary that I have. It is a well-respected
local development group. There is no increase in pollution. Excellent traffic
facilities, appropriate parking and the apartments that are consistent with the
character of the Boulevard and it is a great housing project for a variety of incomes.
With that, I would like to introduce John Gibson, who is the managing partner of
2
the Venture Group. I will give you some a little more information on this
preliminary discussion and I thank you so, much for your time and if you have any
questions please feel free to ask me.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Gibson: Madam Chair, members of the Planning Commission good afternoon. I am John
Gibson with Venture Realty Group, and I am here today in clear support with The
Boulevard at Thalia Application. As you know, we desire to rezone two properties
to feature 261 apartments with 6500 square feet of new commercial space to adjoin
the existing Aldi and out parcel. Once completed,we will transform the entire retail
facility into a vibrant upscale mixed-use community in full compliance with city
regulations. To help achieve our vision, Venture is partnering once again with best
professional firms in the 757 to produce this opportunity. For 18 months, our team
of experts have studied this and examined and confirmed the redevelopment plan
using tried and true fact-based science and logic, not emotion. Our goal from day
one remains our goal today, and that is to produce another award-winning mixed
use community by redeveloping the portions of the properties that are both
economically and functionally obsolete. We have listened to the public and those
who oppose us. We have adjusted our initial plans by reducing apartment counts
and reducing commercial footprint. We have increased our internal parking
capacity, yet we have made a similar impervious ratio to the existing obsolete
industry. We have provided expert analysis on traffic impact, shared parking and
even engineered to 100-year storm water solution. We have revised architectural
elevations and incorporated workforce housing solution. As to the latter, we intend
to partner with DHDA and utilize our 80:20 mixed use program. Simply put 20%
of our apartments, apartment homes will be reserved for community members who
make less than 80% of our city's median income. In all candour this is not unique.
Virginia Beach recently did this with the Armada Hoffler project at the oceanfront
on 27th Street. Norfolk has also, used this program when the Bank of America
building was converted and redeveloped into the luxury icon apartment project.
Despite COVID, we have continued our public engagement by creating the
Boulevard at Thalia website. We have updated the website frequently, and we have
published all our third party reports on it. We have answered emails, phone calls
and once again operated an open and transparent manner despite being shunned by
the Thalia's. It is interesting to note, most of the studies and reports I have
referenced are all optional, not required for this rezoning here. But that is not how
we roll. Once again, we have gone over and beyond the city requirements because
we strive to be a leading development firm. Venture is known for many award-
winning projects from the Crossings at Red Mill,The Amerigroup National Support
Centers, the Marketplace at Hilltop and Red Mill Commons to name just a few in
3
Virginia Beach. We have won numerous Garden Club awards, Planning
Commission awards, and even National Acclaim. Our track record is outstanding
and our proposal today will uniquely unified by the properties by utilizing great
architecture and space making to craft vibrant uses today. The B4 mixed use zoning
we seek is significantly less intense than redevelopment by right. The Wayside
Shops are currently less than 30% renting. The furniture store no longer needs so
much space. Our plan capitalizes on these facts, yet make no mistake, change is
coming to the Boulevard. Today you have the opportunity to embrace the change,
the diverse change we offer or await the by right big box sprawl that will be many
times more intense. Your vote for Boulevard at Thalia supports fact based logic
while creating jobs and hitting here five times the city's current tax base and $45
million of new investment from the private sector. We believe you should disavow
the promotion of fake news, and do not support those who have perceived rental
competition from us. Vote for a project is 100% consistent with the City Council's
stated, land use objectives, including stormwater, mixed use and workforce
housing. Vote for a project that is consistent with well over a decade of Similar
Planning Commission and city council rezoning. Vote for Thalia Road Partners.
Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, there are 54 people who have signed up in advance to speak on this
application. Each speaker has up to three minutes to make comments. If you are not
affiliated with the applicant following your comments please exit the chamber using
the door on your left as the rooms capacity is limited. Madam Chair, the next
speaker is Bennett Atwell, followed by Wendy Drucker. Mr. Atwell is a virtual
speaker, Mr. Atwell, please pause for three seconds so, we can unmute your mic.
Please start by stating your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Atwell: Yes, this is Bennett Atwell, and I am the Business Development and Operations
Manager for the rental housing division at Virginia Housing, and today I am here
to answer questions that you may have regarding our financing programs. I am not
here to advocate for the property, although I hope that we will have the business.
But I am here to answer your questions if you all have questions for us.
Ms. Oliver: Do you have any questions?
Mr. Landfair: Thank you, Madam Chair, the next speaker is Wendy Drucker, followed by Tarra
Seacrest. Ms. Drucker, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Drucker: I am Wendy Drucker, and I am the managing director of Drucker and Falk, an 83
year old Newport News based company specializing in the management of
multifamily apartment communities. I have been actively involved with Drucker
4
and Falk for more than 39 years. Our apartment portfolio consists of 37,000
apartments across 13 states with 30% of those located in Hampton Roads. Each
apartment community we manage is fully staffed with professionals, both on the
management side and the maintenance side, and our teams hold coveted industry
and professional designations. I pride myself on the fact that on any given day,
approximately 100,000 people come home to a well-managed, well-maintained
apartment that they and their family call home. I first met John Gibson in 2003
consulting on the development of the Crossings at Red Mill in Virginia Beach, an
apartment community that they still own and we still manage today. In 2014,
Drucker and Falk again worked with John Gibson and his team to develop Venture
Apartments in Tech Center, a Class-A apartment community in Newport News.
With stellar interior and exterior finishes,including nest thermostats, stainless steel
appliances, built in microwaves, full sized front loading washers and dryers, a
saltwater resort pool, grilling stations with big screen TVs, a fitness centre, yoga
and TRX studio, pet spa, gaming room, and of course professional onsite
management and maintenance. Venture has been recognized nationally for resident
satisfaction. Apartment living is not what it was 20 years ago and it is no longer
housing by default. Residents choose to live in an apartment due to the maintenance
free resort and amenity rich lifestyle that apartment communities offer today. It is
a way of life. It is a choice that people make and enable cities and the business
community to attract and retain their valued workers and citizens. Now working
again with John Gibson and his team on the Boulevard at Thalia., we have
leveraged our collective experience and expertise to design a community that will
appeal to a wide range of renters, ranging from those starting out in their careers
looking for a studio or a one bedroom apartment, to empty nesters who are looking
for all of the convenience and customer service that renting in an apartment
community provides them. As an active member of numerous national apartment
management organizations, Drucker and Falk prides itself on the level of
professionalism that we provide each community that we manage on a day to day
basis. I thank you for your time and look forward to your supporting this
development.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Do you have any questions for the speaker?
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Tara Seacrest, followed by Allison Mack. Ms.
Seacrest, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Seacrest: Good afternoon. My name is Tara Seacrest, and I am the Director of Property
Development and Marketing for the locally based Drucker and Falk, and one of my
main areas of expertise in multifamily development and new construction. It is quite
common to find me in a hardhat and safety glasses out on a dirt field, and not in a
suit and heels since I have been doing this for over 15 years. I play an active role in
5
assisting developers and owners with over 30 different multifamily projects,
containing over 5000 apartment homes. As a management partner, it is critical that
the onsite property management company that is going to be located on the property
day in and day out, is involved in the development from day one. We provide our
guidance and expertise on operational items such as residence selection criteria,
trash collection,community rules and regulations,just to name a few. I can say with
great conviction that Drucker and Falk has been highly involved with almost every
aspect of the Boulevard at Thalia since the beginning. With over 40,000 apartment
homes across 13 different states, we have access to a tremendous amount of data,
including parking ratios.We have the privilege of managing everything from 1950s
communities with an abundance of parking lots, to historic rehab apartment
communities located in Downtown Richmond, that have very limited to zero
amount of resident parking. Drucker and Falk has found that 1.5 parking spaces per
unit is more than enough for parking and anything above 1.5 is considered
additional. The Boulevard at Thalia has 553 parking spaces, which equates to 1.57
spaces per unit. The onsite management team will execute the parking plan. Each
apartment address will be granted one parking space. When a new residence signs
the residential lease agreement,they will also be signing an addendum that provides
the parking guidelines in great detail. Then they will receive a resident parking
decal that is specific to them and their apartment address. This decal will provide
them the ability to park within the apartment community. Residence who wishes
to have another parking space will be granted an additional space as availability
arises and a waitlist will be created if need be. A vendor partner towing company
will be selected to closely monitor and enforce the strict parking policy with the
apartment residents. A shared parking plan is very common in urban locations, and
is currently in place at local communities such as the Mayflower Apartments at the
Oceanfront, the Wainwright Apartments in Downtown Norfolk, and the
Cosmopolitan Encore and Premier Apartments, all located very close to us in
Virginia Beach Town Center. On behalf of Drucker and Falk, we agree that the
provided parking analysis, and the current number of parking spaces, per unit is
more than sufficient. Thank you for your time today and I look forward.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Seacrest: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much. We are strict today on time. Sorry.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair,the next speaker is Allison Mack,followed by Ben Willis. Ms.Mack
please state your name for the record. Thank you.

Ms. Mack: Good afternoon. My name is Allison Mack, Manager of Marketing and Property
Development for Drucker and Falk. Please reference slide number seven in the
handout as I will refer to those demographics. At Drucker and Falk's professionally
managed Class-A communities in accordance with all federal, state and local fair
housing laws,all of our residents are required to meet our resident selection criteria,
in order to call our communities home. Applicants are required to have an income
requirement of at least three times the monthly rental amount,have a positive rental
and or mortgage history and have a credit history that positively reflects their ability
and willingness to make timely payments as required by the lease and the ability to
comply with lease terms and community policies and guidelines. Additionally, a
public records and criminal background check is conducted on each applicant. In
my previous role with Drucker and Falk as an onsite property manager for 10 years
it was my responsibility to manage a team of five to eight employees daily to ensure
that we were releasing apartments in accordance with the residents selection criteria
and all fair housing laws, that our buildings their individual homes, common
hallways and the grounds remain pristine and clean at all times. And our residents
were satisfied with the level of customer service provided by my team, which
included 24-hour maintenance, upkeep of amenity spaces, monthly community
events, and package acceptance. In my experience managing Class-A multifamily
projects in Hampton Roads, the demographics that I have personally experienced
are millennials and empty nesters who are looking for the maintenance-free and
amenity rich lifestyle that these communities offer. Over 80%of my residents were
military, business, professionals or worked within a skilled trade, such as teachers,
nurses, and police officers with 42% of them making between 50 and $75,000 per
year. At the Boulevard at Thalia, we project the same demographic based on the
location and unit mix we will offer, with 76% of our homes being efficiencies,
studios, and one bedroom, we anticipate seeing at least 75% of those homes
occupied by only one individual. I am looking forward to another successful
partnership between Drucker and Falk and Venture Realty to bring the vision of the
Boulevard at Thalia to life and offer the current and future residents of the City of
Virginia Beach and the Thalia Community, a phenomenal Class-A Apartment
Community that they can call home. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Any questions?
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Ben Willis, followed by Blaine Denny. Mr.
Willis, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Willis: Good afternoon. I am Ben Willis, one of the current property owners. My family
has owned the property in question since 1950,when it was abandoned after World
War II that is three generations. We have operated Willis Furniture Company when
it moved from Downtown Norfolk. In the 35 years, I have been involved in the
7
company we have witnessed and experienced much change in Virginia Beach and
in our area. Over that time the needs of our family and the operating business have
changed and evolved. The proposal before you has been made after much study.
Long term, I think, it is the best use of the property and preferable to other
permissible uses. I urge you to vote in favor of the proposal. And, I appreciate your
consideration and thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Do you have any questions to Mr. Willis. None. Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Blaine Denny, followed by Billy Almond. Mr.
Denny, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Danny: Madam Chair and Commissioners. I am Blaine Danny from the managing partner
for the seven family members that own the smaller of the two parcels on
consideration for rezoning today. And, I speak in favor of the proposed rezoning to
B4. Our 25,000, square foot building is a colonial building. It was designed some
40 years ago to accommodate small shops, locally owned and retail. The time has
long passed for that concept in retail. In August 2018, our group voted to sell our
two acres on Virginia Beach Boulevard. And, when the proposal arose to re-
combine the two properties into one for a more substantial project, we thought that
would be meaningful and fitting end to our ownership. I am surprised that there has
been so much opposition. Our property was for sale before the proposal before you
today was ever developed, and it will remain for sale,if the proposed rezoning fails
today, or we will redevelop the property ourselves. Our property does not join the
Thalia residential area on any side. So, the varied uses permitted by B2 will not be
a consideration for the Thalia Civic League. Already, on site there is a sub shop,
there is a pizza shop,there is Mexican fast food. Regardless,the outcome today our
building will not stay as is for very long. I urge you to vote in favor of this rezoning.
Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Any questions for Mr. Denny.
Mr. Graham: Just one real quick question and what is your current occupancy?
Mr. Danny: Oh gee, it is about 30%.
Mr. Graham: Okay, that is all.
Mr. Danny: It is not good, it is a tough sale these days.
Mr. Graham: Okay, thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, thank you Blaine.

Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Billy Almond, followed by Michael Gaddy. Mr.
Almond, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Almond: Good afternoon. I am Billy Almond Landscape Architect for the project,my slides
begin on page eight. I have lived here all my life, I have been visiting Thalia since
the early 1950s, my aunt and uncle lived in Thalia Drive. But, if you get up in the
air as the aerial shows you and fly from the oceanfront, all the way into Downtown
Norfolk,you have the same uses from the Boulevard to commercial,to business,to
residential. It runs all the way into Downtown Norfolk. This is the edge that the
Boulevard has on the north and south and it transitions from Linkhorn Park to
Birdneck Point to Linlier, Laurel Manor, Hilltop Manor, Point O'Woods,
Chesopean Colony, Kings Grant, Malibu, Birchwood and to Thalia. Now, I am on
number nine. The threat of this forested area is that transition zone between the
commercial and business into that residential property and that is a big part of what
we are doing and now I am on slide 10, as landscape architects were trying to make
the view into our project as pleasing as possible and most people will ask what am
I going to see. On slide 11, you will see that forested edge as it runs right into the
Willis property. On slide 12, you will see that what our goal is trying to enhance
that edge, so, that that does not change in terms of what people actually see from
the north looking south. On slide 13, you can see another photograph of that
beautiful buffer. On slide 14,more specifically,it is our goal to preserve 20 feet or
more of this forested area including the understory to keep that forest system intact.
On slide 15, as we have dropped through the woods there, it is very clear to us that
the real screening from the neighbors is in the understory, not the canopy trees
above. So, our real goal on slide 16 is forest preservation that is a big part of what
we are doing. We have been doing forest preservation plans for over 40 years from
Norfolk Airport through small residential projects, employing ISA Certified
Arborist to do root pruning,chain link fence protection,and canopy reduction. Slide
17, gives you a glimpse of the woods what we are trying to do since it is all
hardwood forest is to be able to add understory evergreen trees like American Holly
and Sweet Bay Magnolia. On slide 18,the rest of the property would be landscaped
similar to our past work using sustainable Green Blue infrastructure systems, the
remaining of the site will be covered in canopy and shrubs and perennials. Planting
design nowadays has a lot to do with rainwater management. That will be a big part
of our emphasis. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Mick Gaddy, followed by Steve Froncillo. Mr.
Gaddy please state your name for the record. Thank you.

Mr. Gaddy: Thank you. Good afternoon,members of Planning Commission. My name is Mick
Gaddy and I am a Civil Engineer of record for this project. I would like to take a
few minutes to discuss our overall Stormwater Management Strategy for the site.
As you know, the existing site is currently developed with existing buildings and
large parking areas. This equates to an overall existing site impervious ratio of
73.2%. Under the existing conditions, only approximately half of the existing
impervious area is being treated by a BMP. The existing BMP was constructed in
2007, as part of the requirements for the retail shops out front. We are aware that
the existing BMP may need to be evaluated as to its functionality. We will continue
to work with the Development Team and City Staff during the site plan review to
investigate and recommend improvements to ensure its functionality as designed.
Under the proposed conditions,the site's impervious ratio will only increase slightly
to 75%. We plan to reduce the amount of area draining to the existing BMP, and
redirect it, along with other areas of the development to a new larger BMP system.
We are proposing the large BMP system within the rear parking area of the
development as shown on the proffered plan before you. This proposed BMP will
consist of impervious pavement system and a large area of underground stormwater
chambers that will filter pollutants and provide for a large amount of storage
capacity to attenuate storms up to the 100-year storm event. Along with the
construction of this BMP,we propose to purchase additional nutrient credits to help
achieve the nutrient removal requirements required by code. These nutrient credits
will be purchased within the same watershed and will be used to convert existing
pollutant generating farmlands to areas of reforestation. This proposed stormwater
design will meet all the requirements of Virginia Beach Stormwater Ordinance.
Although,not required,we chose to prepare and submit to City Staff, a preliminary
stormwater analysis. This analysis was prepared with the more stringent
requirements of a project that would be located in the Southern Rivers Watershed,
to include 20% increase in rainfall patterns and a potential future sea level rise of
1.5 feet. The development team has agreed to include this 20%increase in rainfall,
as a proffered condition. In addition, we have provided a complex Swim Model,
showing our development will not cause any adverse impacts to downstream or
upstream stormwater systems. In fact, due to the large amount of underground
storage, the hydraulic grade lines within the area will be lowered for all storms, up
to 100-year event. Thank you for your time and I can be available for questions.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much. Are there any questions for Mr. Gaddy. Yes, Mr. Wall.
Mr. Wall: We have had other projects with added storm chambers and underground storage
and it is surprising that they raised the elevation of the parking lots. And, I think it
was a detriment to the neighbors. What do you expect, what are your expectations
of the parking lot that is at the rear of the property?
10
Mr. Gaddy: Sure, typically, the design of these chambers are a function of the elevation of the
groundwater and based on the research that we have done, we do not think that is
going to be a problem. So, we are not proposing to raise the grade of that parking
lot in that area.
Mr. Wall: Okay, so that is the expectation is that the grade of the parking lots will stay and
create the ground surface.
Mr. Gaddy: Yes.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Gaddy: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Steve Froncillo, followed by Tom Smith. Mr.
Froncillo,please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Froncillo: Good afternoon. My name is Steve Froncillo, I am a Senior Traffic Engineer with
Volkert and I prepare the traffic analysis and the parking analysis for this project.
Both of these studies were submitted for review and were approved by City Staff.
The traffic study analyzed the intersection operations at Virginia Beach Boulevard
and Thalia Road for existing conditions and conditions with the proposed project.
Under existing conditions, the analysis shows the intersection operating in an
overall level of Service-C during both the am and pm peak hours. With the added
traffic expected with the proposed redevelopment,the overall intersection operation
is expect to remain at an acceptable level of Service-C or better during the am and
pm peak hours, and is not expected to produce any adverse impacts to the
intersection operations. The traffic study also, included analysis that compared the
estimated trip generation of the proposed project to the number of trips that could
be result from a potential by right redevelopment on the current B2 Zoning. Two
potential by rights scenarios were evaluated. The first scenario assumes that the
entire site would be redeveloped with a big box store.The second scenario assumed
at the Aldi grocery store and the existing retail located in the front left corner of the
site would remain similar to what this project is proposing. Although, the existing
furniture store and remaining retail would be redeveloped with office uses and the
restaurant, and other retail uses. Both of these scenarios were shown to generate
significantly more trips than the proposed project.The big box store would generate
approximately 1700 more trips and a proposed redevelopment in the office, in
retail, and in restaurants scenario would generate approximately 3000 more trips
than is compared to the proposed project. In summarizing the traffic study findings,
the proposed rezoning is not expected to have any significant impact on the current
operation and will most likely have a less of an impact on the site, if were to be
11
redeveloped under the current B2 Zoning. I thank you for your time and I will stand
by for any questions.
Ms. Oliver: Anybody have any questions? No. Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair the next speaker is Tom Smith,followed by Bruce Berlin. Mr. Smith,
please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Smith: Good afternoon. My name is Tom Smith and I am the principal at TS3 Architects
which is located here in Virginia Beach,most of the lead designer and here to speak
in support of the Boulevard at Thalia. The new community has a total of 261
apartment homes, distributed in three buildings across the 9.2 acre site. For
reference, we are referring to buildings as building one, which is the U-shaped
building which is adjacent to all these along the Boulevard, building two, which is
the bar shaped building that is in the middle of the site and building three which
comprises of four individual buildings,which is located on the back end of the site.
There was a conscious decision to step the massing of the three buildings down
from Virginia Beach Boulevard towards the middle of site.Building one is a mixed-
use building with first floor retail and community amenity space, including an
elevated pool on the second level that addresses the Boulevard and serve as a buffer
to separate the quiet residential area from the busy commercial street. Building two
is designed as a smaller version of building one without the retail and the amenities.
Building three on the backside of this site are only three stories and are broken up
into smaller masses that are much closer scale to the single-family homes that as
we address the Thalia Community. The smaller townhome style the rear of the site
is set back approximately 121 feet from the closest house. After the December
meeting with the Civil League, we changed the building elevations from a
contemporary building to more of a traditional building, incorporating more
colonial design elements. The building facade is divided into small sections that
break down the overall scale and size. These individual masses are distinguished in
changes of material, color, height, and the physical plane. We treat each vertical
element as an individual composition to reduce the overall scale of the building.
The building facade is also, articulated horizontally to define a base, shaft and a
capital for each volume defying in the mass. The horizontal delineation is also,
defined with changes in material color, and with accent trim and masonry banding.
The base of the building is defined with masonry veneer, a durable solid material.
Moving up the material palette is lightened with the use of fiber cement siding on
the top floor Mansard roofs with dormer windows and several different variations
of cornice articulation are used to accentuate the top of the building. And in all
levels the material change in color help reinforce again the base, the shaft, and the
capital. A window variety, balconies, bay windows and panel siding are some of
the architectural elements that composed on the building to provide interest and
12
rhythm. These elements are also,provided a connection with the outside to activate
the exterior spaces adjacent to the building.
Ms. Oliver: Sir, I am sorry I have to cut you off.
Mr. Smith: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Bruce Berlin, followed by Ann Crenshaw. Mr.
Berlin, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Berlin: Madam Chair and members of the Planning Commission. My name is Bruce Berlin
with Venture Realty Group here to speak in support of the Thalia application.
Specifically, I wanted to address parking for our project. We have heard concerns
from some of you about our shared parking analysis prepared by our Transportation
Consultant Volker. It is important to provide some context. Back in 2011,the City
of Virginia Beach appointed a Green Ribbon Committee to review the parking
ordinance and provide changes that would decrease the size of parking fields in the
city. These changes specifically identified a series of measures to reduce the
impervious surface area to include motorcycle spaces and the promotion of shared
parking. In 2017, this body heard a very similar B2 to B4 rezoning request, the
Water Boxes,that also featured shared parking.At Planning Commission there was
literally no discussion of shared parking, believe me we went back and listened to
the tape. It was simply accepted as a good thing. We followed the City's guidelines
and obtained a shared parking analysis as laid out in section 203 of the City Code.
If you read the parking analysis, you will see that we provide more than enough
total parking at 553 spaces with an excess of 61 spaces at peak time during the week
and 59 spaces on the weekends. Your City Staff agrees that with the interpretation
and your Zoning Administration also,has approved the plan as well. Some of made
the claim that we should disregard your policy and simply require the typical
apartment standard. Just think of how illogical this would be for the project. You
have heard that we have 76% one-bedroom studio and efficiencies. If we applied
the basic apartment zoning standard, we would have to assign each of those 200
apartments 1.8 spaces per home. Think how inefficient it would be to assign two
spaces to a 490 square foot efficiency or a 550 square foot studio. Not only would
a larger parking field produce excess stormwater runoff, it would also, be cost
prohibitive to construct. We agree with your Staffs recommendation to build 1.57
spaces per home and hope you will too. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Do you have any questions for Mr. Berlin? No. Thank you.
13
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Ann Crenshaw, followed by Mike Culpepper.
Ms. Crenshaw, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Crenshaw: Good afternoon, my name is Ann Crenshaw, I am a partner with the law firm of
Kaufman and Canoles in Virginia Beach. I am proud to represent this first class
apartment community. I have a long standing, personal passion with affordable
housing. I served for 10 years as a member of the Virginia Beach Community
Development Corporation. Thereafter, I was appointed to the Housing Advisory
Board for the City of Virginia Beach by Council. And I have served there almost
six years and currently serve as its chairman. A particular concern of mine is the
burden of housing on the residents and folks, who want to come and live here. It
impacts business,being relocated here,because our cost of housing is high. In 1980,
Virginia Beach was the fastest growing city in the United States, excuse me. The
current growth rate for the City of Virginia Beach is approximately 1%. The
number of young people under the age of 19 is steadily declining,while the number
of people over 65 is steadily increasing. The rent per unit has steadily increased for
apartment communities, making it difficult for those who make between $40,000
and $70,000 to live in the City of Virginia Beach. This is a unique project, which
has been more thoroughly described by those ahead of me. In fact, the current
storybook for the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Virginia Beach contains a
chapter on housing. It makes clear that the percentage of renter's is increasing in
our community. This first class apartment complex does not adversely impact the
single family housing located in the Thalia neighborhood. I direct your attention to
page or slide 23 of your handouts, which designates the Thalia neighborhood. We
have undertaken research through ERSI demographic and Income Comparison
profiles of the Thalia neighborhood. And the results of that indicate that 61%of the
residential units in the neighborhood are rentals. In summary, this has met all the
tests, you will hear some numbers shortly about the number of applications for
multifamily apartment complexes, which have been put before you and put for the
Council. There is absolutely no reasonable legal reason under the applicable
ordinances is to deny this application. If this application is denied and treated
differently, one has to ask why.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Mike Culpepper, followed by John Covington.
Mr. Culpepper, please state your name for the record.
Mr. Culpepper: Good afternoon, Planning Commissioners. My name is Mick Culpepper, I am a
principal with Venture and I am here obviously in support of our application. But,
I am specifically here to address the campaign of misinformation that has been
waged on this project for the better part of eight months. During that time, we have
14
been accused of participating in a deep state conspiracy on fringe political websites.
We have been accused of draining into a lake located a half-mile upstream of our
project. We have been accused of polluting the lake next to Mount Trashmore
failing to share with the audience that the lake is polluted because it sits next to
Mount Trashmore. We have been accused of producing roughly 200% of the
residents we actually will produce, and they have said some fairly spurious things
about folks, who live in apartment communities around our city and those are
beyond the scope of this meeting,but it deserves to be said. Because it is a product
of the political climate that we are in today, that has folks feel so, much animus
about a project that they will do and say darn near anything to ensure that their
political objectives are achieved. Unfortunately, as the applicant,we don't have the
luxury of writing fiction. We are bound like this body to policy and the policies
were part of the application that you are actually seeing today. That is to say, the
design for the project you see is not only consistent with your policy it is literally
the product of your policy. Your Comprehensive Plan which memorializes your
land use policy, which contemplates this type of development. Your stormwater
policy, which contemplates that zero impact, your parking policy which promotes
shared parking, it goes on and on. Your housing policy,which promotes affordable
housing, but not only is this consistent with and a product of your policy, it is the
product of 10 years of consistent interpretations of land use applications that have
multifamily in them. If you look at the last 10 years like we did, you will find there
were 55 applications that pertain to multifamily development of those two were
withdrawn and of the remaining 53 all of them were approved by City Council, all
of them. And so, today, this body should look at your policy, you should look at
your consistent interpretation of that policy for the last 10 years and make a decision
based upon the facts and based upon policy. And, I would ask you to please ask
yourselves, that if the opponents of this project do not care about those policies,
then please ask yourself, what is motivating the animus toward apartment dwellers,
who might live in the neighborhood. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is John Covington followed by Hugh Johnson. Mr.
Covington as a virtual speaker, Mr. Covington please pause for three seconds, so,
we can unmute your mic.
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Landfair, Mr. Covington unfortunately due to time had to move to another
meeting, so, he will not be able to speak.
Mr. Landfair: I see. Okay. Thank you. Next speaker is Hugh Johnson, followed by Mark
Schofield. Mr. Johnson is a virtual speaker, Mr. Johnson, please pause for three
15
seconds, so, we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the
record. Thank you.
Mr. Johnson: My name is Hugh Johnson. I am a Thalia resident for close to 33 years, in a great
place to raise our family. Like to express my support for the Boulevard at Thalia
project proposed for the Willis Wayside site. If the City wants to have thoughtful
strategic redevelopment along Virginia Beach Boulevard,this is a great opportunity
to move forward. Furthermore, I would suggest the City consider rezoning to multi-
use on the Boulevard West all the way to Princess Anne High School. It would
connect Town Center with the Central Library as its eastern anchor and extend the
pedestrian feel of Town Center. This project is designed as a first-class project, I
like it. If it is not approved, I fear a haphazard aesthetically unpleasant alternative.
I have known the developer for over 40 years, they are proud and capable of
delivering a quality project to the market. Their resume speaks for itself I support
the Staff Planning report and project as presented. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Anybody have any questions for our speaker. No.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Mark Schofield, followed by Rick Boyles. Mr.
Schofield, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Tajan: Mr. Landfair, he was also, unable to attend due to time.
Mr. Landfair: I see. Okay. Thank you. Madam Chair, the next speaker is Rick Boyles, followed
by Lewis Hasty. Mr. Boyles, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Boyles: Good afternoon Madam Chair, members of the Commission and staff. We
appreciate your assistance in this project. My name is Rick Boyles, I am a Virginia
Beach native I have lived in the Thalia area for all of my life. For the first eight
years my family lived in Thalia Village in 1963, we bought land built and moved
to Thalia acres over near Steinhilber's, I moved back into the family home about 28
years ago after the death of my parents. So, call me a 65-year Thalia resident. I am
the Vice President of the Thalia Civic League since January 20, of this year. And,
I am Chairman of the Thalia Civic League Rezoning Task Force since November
18, 2019. We appreciate the opportunity to be heard publicly. And, I want to thank
all of you all after going through this process for the last seven months, I have a
very, very deep respect for the job. It is difficult as it is that all of you all have to
do. As you saw during your van trip on May 21, the property that subject of this
proposal is an ongoing commercial center with millions of dollars worth of recent
development in the Aldi and the remodeling of the Willis Showroom.The buildings
and grounds are well kept, there is no evidence of blight, deterioration, or
dilapidation as was recently propounded in a postal mailing to the Thalia residents
last week. Some of the vacancies that Mr. Denny spoke of may very well be a result
16
of all of this rezoning activity, we had several of the tenants that have moved out,
tell us that they were not going to stick around to find out what was going to happen
here. This group is not against development, the Thalia Group is not against
development, we understand the need for control growth in the City. The
Comprehensive Plan created the SGA though is the place for this type of
development. This little piece of property this little sliver is not in an SGA. The
Pembroke SGA starts 250 yards to the west. The Rosemont SGA starts 550 yards
to the east. Mr. Frankenfield is here on behalf of the applicant, he was in charge of
the SGA Department at the time this was done, it might behoove us to ask him how
and why we left this little sliver of Virginia Beach Boulevard, out of the SGA's.
The applicant is asking for a rezoning this property is located at the edge of a
suburban area core to the comp plan, contrary to what Mr. Denny said, the
residences of Thalia Forest property lines do about the Willis property. We do not
believe that change on a small parcel of land such as these two parcels here is a
good idea.And in fact,we believe it might very well rise to the level of spot zoning.
We do not want to go to spot zoning. Again, both of the SGA's on either side of
this property allow for exactly this type of development. I do not know that
anybody in the Thalia neighborhood has any objection to the type, quality, style,
and nature of property that Venture Realty builds. But we do have some objections,
the biggest ones probably going to cause the problem is parking. We have
determined by looking at the applicants Volkert Parking Memorandum of May 5,
2020, that there are errors in their math. They did not look up the appropriate
number of parking spaces for restaurants. They use the math for retail businesses.
So, that created a need for an additional 39 spaces on the restaurant side and they
also, did the math incorrectly with the townhomes, which created the need for
another three spaces there. So, instead of them being 60 spaces short according to
code,they are 102 spaces short according to code. We do not have any objection to
shared parking, shared parking is great, there isno problem with shared parking it
is a great concept. Shared parking as based on the math and if you start the math
off incorrectly, we end up with incorrect math and unfortunately that is what is
happened in this case. The initial calculations that were used by the Volkert folks
appear to be incorrect. City Zoning Administrator has used the Volkert math. The
applicants using the Volkert math, and in fact the math appears to be wrong to us.
We see that the applicant has counted the 32 driveways and garages that are part of
the Townhomes in their shared parking calculations. Well those spaces are in fact
reserved. They are reserved for the Townhome residents. I cannot drive up to your
Townhome and say, hey, can you open the garage and let me drive and I want to
go do get some tacos over here at Tijuana Flats. So, those spaces are reserved and
have to be removed from shared parking calculations. We have got some other
problems with that same situation, handicapped spaces are reserved spaces. The
17
spaces for the 25 motorcycles are reserved spaces,they are reserved for a particular
class of vehicle. Additionally, Ms. Seacrest who talked a little bit earlier at the
community outreach meeting stated that access to the building was by key fob, and
I will quote that the building is locked, including parking garage. So, if in fact they
are going to key fob the parking garage you have got another 157 reserved spaces
that have to be removed from the shared parking calculation. The bottom line is we
do not object to Volkert's internal capture adjustments for people who are still on
the property that won't use a car. We have no objection to any of Volkert's
suggestions for massaging these numbers, other than we think they have started off
with the wrong number. Our calculation shows that we are going to have eight
spaces excess at six o'clock every night. We are going to be short five spaces,seven
o'clock every week night. We are going to have an excess of 12 spaces at eight
o'clock every week night. If you count those reserved spaces back into those
numbers,those numbers are going to get worse. Additionally,in order for Volkert's
numbers to work in their shared parking demand table, a couple of conditions have
to be true. No one is parked illegally. No one is parked in a space that is not for
their type of vehicle,that all 10 handicap spaces are taken up by 10 handicap drivers
for the entire evening. And that all 25 motorcycle spaces in the shared parking
inventory are in fact taken up by 25 motorcycles for the entire evening. I am
doubtful if that is ever going to happen, those spaces then cannot be part of the
shared parking agreement. So, again, we have got some math problems here that
have to be worked out on the parking. Additionally, the ULI shared traffic manual
calls for an adjustment for employee parking.We went around and did an inventory
of all of the existing businesses to ask them how many staff members they were,
we have come up with about 48 employees on this property, if the 6500 square feet
of retail goes through.There is no provision in any of this shared parking agreement
for those 48 employees, which is really a one to one ratio. We gave you some
paperwork,our executive summary report and I rebuttal the Staff report.They made
a big deal out of the buy right development, quite frankly. The consensus of the
neighborhood is that we will take a buy right development over a potential 678 new
residents in the neighborhood. Irrespective of their numbers HUD says that you can
put two heads in a bed and if you are living in a one bedroom 400 square foot studio,
you can still have two people in that apartment, and there is nothing they can do to
legislate that away. Therefore, we have to look at people, as opposed to necessarily
apartments and the type of apartments. Actually, the neighbors also, said that we
would like, if we go with a buy right development. We would like to see we can
get a Dairy Queen, Arby's, and Chick-fil-A as part of this buy right development.
Stormwater is the last thing I want to touch on real quick. The applicant has
propounded at least three preliminary stormwater proposals to DSC. The first one
came back they were using the Aldi grocery store, as a part of their catchment. We
18
reviewed the PC swim, computer models, and they were storing a foot and a half
of water in Aldi. I cannot do that in the stormwater model. So,that came back,they
send it back again, corrected that problem but this time, two hours' worth of 100-
year rainfall have disappeared off the computer model never to be found again.That
stormwater model went back to them, and the current one that DSC has put their
approval on right now. If you will note says something to the effect of the proposed
conceptual stormwater management strategy has the potential to successfully
comply. It is not exactly an approval, as we have already heard here today. So, our
conclusion here is the applicants probably got a good project, but he is trying to
shoehorn it into the wrong piece of land, there is not enough physical real estate to
create enough parking spots for his project. Thank you very much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Lewis Hasty, followed by Hobie Ritzel.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Mr. Hasty, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Hasty: My name is Lewis Hasty of Thalia Shores I have lived here for 32 years.The reason
I am here today is to ask that you vote, no, to the rezoning of this property. The
Thalia neighborhood is a suburban area and we would like it to remain that way.
The aforementioned Wayside property has been described as a so-called blighted
area, on the contrary, it is actually quite attractive. Aside from the fact that the
warehouse and surrounding buildings have not been maintained for years. So, is
that your definition of a blighted area.No,it just was not maintained. So,in essence,
we strongly oppose this subject rezoning as we believe it does not meet the Virginia
State Code requirements to be designated as a revitalization area. And,that is based
on a Code by the State of Virginia, so, before you vote today make sure you read
it, because if you vote and then you are opposing the Code as it reads, then you
have not done your due diligence. We actually understand that maybe a planned
specialized Virginia Housing Development and Redevelopment Authority
financing of the project. If this Commission were to recommend rezoning of this
land, I believe would serve to set a precedent that would adversely affect the entire
City of Virginia Beach going forward. Potentially, the mere thought of
approximately 678 new residents moving in to a seven-acre parcel and you guys
have been out there you know what it is like. It is just too many people and too
little space. So, again, thank you for listening, and make sure you remember who
got you here. It is the taxpayers,your constituents, and the citizens,and that is what
we are. That is what we represent. I represent my family. I represent myself. And
there is no antagonism as I said this gentleman here, I would not say anything bad
19
about anybody. I mean he met you guys and I went to this gentleman over here and
shook his hand at the meeting, and we talked that one meeting we had had Civic
League one meeting. I do not know of any conspiracy, I mean, come on,this is just,
he said, she said,do the right thing. Go by the Code and make Virginia Beach good,
do not mess it up by adding more people in such a small confined area. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Hasty, I believe there is a question for you, Mr. Inman.
Mr. Inman: Hi, in your remarks you mentioned the figure of 678 residents.
Mr. Hasty: Right.
Mr. Inman: And, previous speaker also, mentioned that.
Mr. Hasty: Right, that is right.
Mr. Inman: Can you explain how you calculate 678 residents.
Mr. Hasty: Well, I cannot because I use his. You are smiling.
Mr. Inman: That is okay.
Mr. Hasty: Let me finish, I am still talking. I am answering your question. I got those numbers
from Mr. Boyles. And,he did his numbers. So, if you need an explanation,it would
really be for him to explain to you. But, potentially, that is the number. And, of
course the PUD thing could be two people instead of one. And, people come and
going this is going to be a mess,it is a mess already. You try to get in there, coming
off the Boulevard. As they say in NASCAR you hung out to dry, when you take it
left coming off the Boulevard coming from Town Center and you are the fourth car
or fifth car, and people are going into Tijuana Flats and they are coming out of
Tijuana Flats area and Aldi. You are sitting out in the Boulevard and four lanes of
traffic coming at you. And, I took a picture of that the other day and showed it to
one of my neighbors. I mean that is the facts, you need to do your due diligence,
you need to listen to the citizens and if you need an explanation of the numbers I
am sure he can come up with that information, got it. Anything else, anybody have
questions.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Hasty: I am very passionate about this. Yeah, I know I sound like a little nervous, I am. I
do not like talking in front of a group like this,but you got to listen to your citizens,
your taxpayers, and your constituents.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much. Bill.
20
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Hobie Ritzel, followed by Ronna Marsh.
Mr. Ritzel: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Welcome.
Mr. Ritzel: Thank you very much for hearing us today, I appreciate all of your time. My name
is Hobie Ritzel, I am a longtime resident of Virginia Beach, and I have lived in
Thalia for three years. I would like to ask you to vote, no, against this proposal.
There are three primary reasons why I ask this, and I hope to give you some insight
into what it is like to live in Thalia in that area. The first reason that I would like to
ask you to vote no, if you could refer to the map it is really the way that the parking
is utilized right now and how we anticipate that is going to be utilized. When
residents are in this building and that is, if you look at parking lot one and two. I do
not think they are up here,but the parking lot next to Aldi and then the one adjacent
to Virginia Beach Boulevard. During peak times and most of the day,those parking
lots are pretty much full. If you see in building number one, the logical place for
most of those residents if they do not have parking underneath the building is going
to be to park in that the two parking lots adjacent to Aldi in the retail center right
up at the Boulevard, that is going to create a lot of additional traffic. So, they are
already full right now, we anticipate they are going to be filled up even more and
much quicker. The parking lot number six to north of that just below the buffer
area, that is pretty far away from the rest of the buildings we do not anticipate a lot
of people are going to park there. We are going to congregate more around the two
parking lots, next to Aldi and the Boulevard. The number two reason that I oppose
this is because it is outside the Strategic Growth Area.Anybody,who lives in Thalia
knows that it is you avoid the traffic and avoid going through Town Center at all
cost, virtually any time of the day because of the traffic. We really do not want that
traffic coming into our residential area. We do everything we can to avoid that, we
will go across Virginia Beach Boulevard and Thalia Drive to avoid Town Center.
We are building up in those areas already with additional housing,you can imagine,
whether it is 400 or 600 additional residents, using that area in the traffic that will
create right around Thalia Drive. The third reason as the previous speaker said, is
the potential for traffic and accidents right at the corner of Thalia Drive and Virginia
Beach Boulevard. If you are turning north on the Thalia Drive from Virginia Beach
Boulevard,taking that left as a previous gentleman said it will take four or five cars
before that backs up and that backs up pretty frequently right now. That is from
people turning into the Aldi and Tijuana Flats. We anticipate with 400-600
additional cars say that is half of those are going to turn in there,it is going to create
a log jam and that is really got to be addressed before anything like this goes
forward, so, super concerned about that. So, thank you very much for your time I
appreciate it.

Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Rona Marsh, followed by Joanna Wall Hope.
Mrs. Marsh, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mrs. Marsh: Good afternoon, I am Mrs. Rona Marsh and I am opposed to this rezoning. I also,
happen to be a certified fraud examiner, and I have high ethical credentials that I
have to adhere to. So, I will be using as many true documents that I got from the
Venture website and presentations to determine how to explain this all to you. The
first is a handout that you should all have, which was a memo that was sent by
Kaitlen Alcock about the August 15, 2019, meeting that was almost 10 and a half
months ago. And,on the back of that under the word zoning,it says loading spaces,
onsite loading spaces are provided, that is what they want, appropriate onsite
loading spaces and the difficulty is right now, we do not have any on site loading
spaces for the people who are in those 10,000 square foot of shops. We do not have
anything for the FedEx, which needs to drive their trucks up every day. We do not
have anything for the pizza company. So, we have no onsite loading and those
people going into Aldi have to jockey around these people that are loading and
offloading there,there is no onsite loading spaces,you would think in 10 and a half
months, the design would have been altered to get what zoning recommended.
Zoning also, recommended under parking, they said, it does not appear to have the
minimum required number of onsite parking spaces.Wow,we have all been talking
about that. And, we went to the Venture website and looked at Venture Tech and
Venture Tech which everyone talks about so, favorably has several people who are
not happy with the parking. There were more that were given to Mr. Landfair and
he was supposed to share those with the applicant, but I picked a couple that just
stood out to me.The only thing I dislike is the parking situation. So,people like the
building,but they do not like the parking that Venture does.There was another man
Mr. Wilbur McDonald and he got a response from the people that Venture Tech,
but he did not like the crime in the parking lot. And so, we know already from
Ventures development up in Newport News that they have parking issues. And so,
they do not handle it well there, you can go online and read these unless they
remove those. When you talk about how we get to the 678, Mr. Inman, the actual
leasing agent at the outreach, did a measurement for us where she said it was 678
residents. And, so, we figured it out if you have 339 bedrooms and you multiply it
times two, you get 678 residents, so, it is based on the number of bedrooms. So,we
feel they need 655 parking spaces, they are only providing 553.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry.
Mrs. Marsh: I know. So, did you understand how I got the 678.
22
Mr. Inman: I understand.
Mrs. Marsh: Okay, good.
Ms. Oliver: Do we have any questions.
Mr. Graham: I do.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Graham: Do you live in.
Mrs. Marsh: I live in Thalia.
Mr. Graham: Okay, okay, because I thought I have seen you here before.
Mrs. Marsh: I am very active in stormwaterand I speak about stormwater.
Mr. Graham: I was just confused because I knew I have seen you and I was like trying to connect
with us. It is fine.
Mrs. Marsh: Anybody else batch free living on in Thalia because I do.
Mr. Graham: I believe you, I was just curious.
Mrs. Marsh: I am actually on the board of directors.
Ms. Oliver: Oh, Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond:Mrs. Marsh, can you come back please.
Mrs. Marsh: Yes, sure.
Mr. Redmond:So,you are referring this specified parking spaces that you said and loading spaces
you referred is just the memo that you are referring.
Mrs. Marsh: Yes, I am.
Mr. Redmond:And then you recognize this is after a pre-submittal meeting.
Mrs. Marsh: Yes, I do.
Mr. Redmond:So, this was before they actually submitted the application, this application has
gone through a number of changes since then, so, when you say we have a number
of planned parking spaces does not have this thing. This is all you know several
iterations before then I do not know that this is terribly relevant, what comes out of
that, you have a pre-submittal meeting precisely to address the kinds of concerns
the Staff has. Before you submit an application, so I do not know that that is terribly
23
relevant to what we are talking about. The pre-submittal meeting that might have
occurred in October was a very long time ago and a very different animal than what
we are looking at today. And I will say this too, it is funny,we have gone this long
today and absolutely no one, not one single person has spoken either for or against
this project has said anything about the Staff report. Anybody read the Staff report,
but me.
Mrs. Marsh: You did.
Mr. Redmond:I read Staff report and very frankly it is very favorable towards the parking and
some of these other issues that traffic and all the rest of it. And, in my view was
pretty darn comprehensive. So I am looking forward to hearing more about that I
have not heard any of it yet. I actually called Mr. Landfair yesterday and told him
it was one of the more thorough staff reports that I have seen in a very long time,so
I kind of like to see if we can get into that speaks to a number of things that you
said,and that is long after a pre-submittal meeting and all of that stuff went far more
specifics about project. I think we ought to talk about this application, not about
you know the stuff about the pre-submittal application.
Mrs. Marsh: We did provide you an executive summary rebuttal to that and on page 13, it goes
into that so, we did read it very close.
Mr. Redmond:I understand that, if I am just saying, you know, we are talking about the pre-
submittal meeting in the fall of 2019, I do not know if that is very real. So, anyway,
thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Landfair.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Joanna Wallhop, followed by Denise Saucier.
Sorry for the pronunciation. Ms. Wallhop, please state your name for the record.
Thank you
Ms. Wallhop: Thank you, good job on the name. My name is Joanna Wallhop, I am a 23 year
resident of Thalia. And,this is not my area, I will be honest I did not read the Staff
Report. I am here just as a parent that has raised my children in this neighborhood
and as a resident. According to your own city website, the city's long range plan
was to divide the city into three categories,rural, suburban, and urban, also,known
as Strategic Growth Areas. It also, says that the City Council recognized the need
to accommodate future growth and preserve the established stable residential
neighborhoods in our suburban area, allowing the city to grow, while preserving
the rural and suburban areas. This project is not currently located in a designated
SGA area. So, the principles for your suburban areas, create and maintain
neighborhood stability and sustainability. Protect and enhance natural open spaces
24
and places and buildings have cultural and historic significance and integrate into
development as appropriate. We are a suburban area that has historical
significance. Camp Ashby once located on this land could have historical artifacts
or even unknown graves on this site, nothing has been done to try to preserve the
remnants of that history. If anything, that history has been systemically destroyed
to allow for commercial growth. We are all sick to our stomachs when that beautiful
white building was taken down. We also, have an Elementary School and a High
School within one-half-a-mile of this project. Princess Anne High School currently
has 271 students in their non-transportation zone. There are also, many other
students, who choose to walk or bike that are in the same transportation zone. The
increased traffic patterns will put these walking and biking students at risk. Also,
the current parking and entry situation at Thalia Elementary School is already
lacking and this development will only exacerbate that situation.There are 105 full-
time staff members at Thalia Elementary and there are only 85 parking spaces. So,
do the math that does not even allow parking for parents. Come on any given day
when there is event of Thalia Elementary and you will see the overflow in the
parking. There is a shoulder gravel lane that was self-made to allow for parents to
turn into the Elementary School for parent pickup. That is totally unacceptable in
my opinion, that issues like that would not be addressed before allowing another
huge development to be placed in that area.There is already a bottleneck area when
entering the neighborhood with just the current businesses that are there. If one
tractor trailer pulls into the neighborhood.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you your times up.
Ms. Wallhop: Okay. Well, thank you all for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Tajan, at this time may we take a 5 minute break please.
Mr. Tajan: Yes, Madam Chair.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Okay, take a 5 minute break. Mr. Redmond,if you area midsentence I
am going to have to ask you to stop. So, please be, understand where we are with
us. And with that, Mr. Landfair, let us get started again.
Mr. Landfair: Thank you, Madam Chair. The next speaker is Denise Saucier followed by Tom
Metcalf Ms. Saucier, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Saucier: I am Denise Saucierand I did some research to find large apartment complexes that
have been built since the Comprehensive Plan of 2003. Out of the 30, I found 14 of
them are located outside of SGA. Of those 14, most are only 3 storeys, 5 of them
are 4 stories.None of them are 5 storeys high, like the proposed complex at Thalia.
Only 1 of the 14 has a density as high as the proposed development,but it is a senior
25
complex, which would have a limited number of drivers, and it is adjacent to
another apartment complex on a major roadway, not at the entrance to an
established single family neighbourhood. Only 3 of the 14 are on mixed use parcels,
The Pearl,the Cascades and Nexus. The Pearl proposed a reduced parking plan,but
it was only 17 spaces short of code, and you have already heard that the plan at
Thalia seems to be 102 spaces short. The Cascades has a designated road separating
the apartments from the retail centre on the corner,well-planned design; and Nexus
is similar in lot size and the number of units to the proposed complex, but it only
has 17,000 square feet of retail,half of the 35,000 proposed at Thalia. There are 28
access points to the 14 complexes, 22 of which are on 4 to Slane divided roadways,
and 2 of which are on a major 4 lane road, which is divided in many sections. The
only 2-lane road at any of the 14 complexes, which is also, an entrance to a single-
family neighbourhood, is Monument Drive at the Cascades, but the cascade has
designated access points on the Centerville Turnpike and Lynnhaven Parkway.
And, the neighbourhood that shares the monument drive access has 4 other routes
to major roadways. It is also, a wide or newer road with curbs and sidewalks for
its entirety. Thalia Road is an old winding 2-lane road that is the main access for
hundreds of single-family homes and an elementary school. If the proposed
complex is approved, it will also,be the main exit point for hundreds of apartment
residents since they will only be able to go west at the Virginia Beach Boulevard
exits. We have observed that drivers do not want to cross 4 lanes of traffic to get to
the left turn lane if they want to go East or South. Exiting on the Thalia road
positions down across the Boulevard, turn left or turn right on red at the light. We
also,witnessed that most of the drivers that enter the parking lot from the Boulevard
exit on the Thalia Road. If approved, the new development will set 5 new
precedents for apartments in suburban areas of the city. It will violate the norms for
height, density, parking, location, and accessibility. This is not good planning nor
is it fair to the hundreds of Thalia residents, who chose a neighbourhood for its
stability, character, low density, and light traffic. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Are there any questions or a speaker?
Ms. Saucier: No.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair,the next speaker is Tom Metcalf,followed by Dolores Swanson. Mr.
Metcalf, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Metcalf: Good afternoon. My name is Tom Metcalf, I am a 20-year resident of Thalia, and I
am here to oppose this proposal. Like many of you, even today I have received
numerous informative communications about the project. I have attended meetings,
26
I have prepared for these hearings only to have them postponed, and I am just
hoping that this is not the lost cause and we are going through the process of talking
to you here. The applicant performed one single community outreach meeting with
the Thalia neighbourhood and that was on Monday, 2nd December, which was
attended by approximately 175 Thalia residents. This meeting resulted in limited
neutral and no positive support for the project. The applicant was made aware Civic
League that members of the community opposed the proposal, had created a
Rezoning Task Force and had created a website to keep the neighbourhood
involved. The applicant presented his proposal and plan, informed the residence
that it was much better than the big box stores, he could develop buy right using
the existing B2 zoning, but change was coming. He had various members of his
staff stand up and talked to us. Since that time, no additional community outreach
meetings have been initiated,in response to the Thalia especially talking points,the
developer put out a multi-colored learn the truth about the Boulevard. I am sure
maybe many of you received it, all the Thalia residents did. In that publication, it
states that they called two officers and asked to attend Civic League Meetings and
were prohibited from doing so. Since, no officer received any call phone call and
all of our Civic League Meetings are open, and in my 20 years, we have never
prohibited anybody from attending, I have just liked to know if that is a true
statement or not. Without doubt, you will hear concerns or have heard concerns,
some of them will be emotional, some of that to proposal not within establish SGA
parking, traffic, the impact on our schools, the density, stormwater spot zoning.
While the applicant may have presented some truth in here as far as contacting and
everything else, it may not have really addressed. If I ask you how fast a Ferrari can
go and you tell me how fast a Ford can go,that yours would be factual but it would
not answer my question. I would think that we would have.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry but your time is up.
Mr. Metcalf: Yes.
Ms. Oliver: But thank you very much.
Mr. Metcalf: Thank you. Have a good day.
Ms. Oliver: And, remember access to your(inaudible 03:07:17).
Mr. Metcalf: Yes, do am I out that door.
Ms. Oliver: Yes, sir. Thank you,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Dolores Swanson, followed by Eldon Swanson.
27
Ms. Swanson: Good afternoon. I am Dolores Swanson,the proud owner of the first residence ever
built in Thalia. Seeking more privacy than their Norfolk Home on Grand Avenue
provided, Lovenburg Kemp,but built this country home in rural, remote Princess
Anne County in 1920. Fast forward 100 years,like the camps,folks who buy homes
in Thalia are seeking to enjoy the generous lot sizes and privacy that the suburban
lifestyle affords. And,one of the first questions that prospective buyers and parents
of school-aged children ask, if a realtor wants to sell them a home,tell us about the
schools. We know that the Virginia Beach Public Schools are excellent and
residents want to ensure that the adjective excellent continues to describe our school
system. This proposed development will have significant impact on our schools.
According, to the Virginia Beach City Public School 2019-2020, building
utilization report for elementary schools, the maximum capacity for Thalia
Elementary is 536.As ofNovember 22,2019,the current enrolment was 574,which
is 38 students or 6.8% above capacity. In a report from the Virginia Beach City
Public Schools demographer, this development is projected to add 27 new students
to Thalia Elementary, bringing the student population to 601 or 12.2% over
capacity. When City View-II with its 219 units comes online, the Virginia Beach
City Public Schools demographer in January 2020, projected it would add another
24 students to the elementary school, making Thalia Elementary the school with
the highest overcapacity rate in the city. The applicant states that 200 or 76.6% of
its units are one-bedroom apartments or studios and unlikely to produce any
children of school age, but what about the other 23.4%, the other 61 units, 44 of
which are 2 bedrooms and 17 of which are 3 bedrooms. The applicant states that
this development will bring an additional $400,000 in property taxes to the city,but
how much will the city have to spend in order to educate these new students.Again,
the school demographer notes that the total cost of including these additional K
through 12 students is a whopping $2,732,332. An NPR correspondent was asked
once, what is the difference between school and life? Well, he said, in school you
are taught a lesson, and then given a test.
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Swanson sorry. I am going to have to cut you off.
Ms. Swanson: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the speaker is Eldon Swanson, followed by Molly Howlett. Mr
Swanson, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Swanson: Good afternoon, my name is Carl Swanson, Eldon Carl Swanson. I have lived in
Virginia Beach for 28 years, the last 15 of those years has been in Thalia. I am
opposed to this proposed project for a number of reasons to include the limited
28
capability of our existing city sewer system to support the development
requirements. The proposed development, which is located on the north side of
Virginia Beach Boulevard, will be connected to the City Sanitary Sewer System.
The sewer gravity collection system will carry the effluent from the proposed
development across Virginia Beach Boulevard to pump station PS-264 located
south of Virginia Beach Boulevard on North Palm Avenue. Based on preliminary
estimates, pump station 264 has the capability to process the effluent from the
project.To be effective,however,the sewage system must of course get the effluent
output from the development to the pump station. Virginia Beach Public Utilities
Engineers have determined that the existing gravity collection system has
insufficient capacity to accommodate the peak sewer flows from the development
to the pump station. This situation may be further exacerbated if restaurants are
included in their proposed 6500 square feet of retail space in this development. All
information used by Virginia Beach Public Utilities to determine water and sewage
requirements is based on preliminary estimates. The true impact of our water and
sewage infrastructure cannot be calculated until the applicant provides a more
detailed engineered site plan. If this application is approved,increasing the capacity
of the gravity feed lines to PS-264 likely will be a major endeavour. It may involve
replacing or upgrading one or more mains. A critical part of this effort is to route
the increased effluent from the project south across 8 lanes at Virginia Beach
Boulevard. Such a process would be expensive and disruptive to users of that major
roadway. City Staff estimates that the applicant will be responsible for providing
capacity enhancements if necessary to serve their development. To avoid any
ambiguity, I recommend a statement of acceptance of responsibility should be
included by the applicant and the proffers or other appropriate documentation.
Water requirements for the domestic and fire needs is another area of concern.
Based on estimates the city does not anticipate that there will be insufficient water
capability or capacity to support this proposed development. However, if
calculations provided during site plan review, do reveal insufficient capability or
capacity.Theapplicant will be required to make system upgrades to ensure required
capability. The lack of a clear commitment by the applicant to be responsible for
any required public utility upgrade.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry sir but your 3 minutes are up.
Mr. Swanson: It is significant shortfall in an application.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Swanson: Yes madam. Thank you.
29
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Molly Howlett, followed by Michael Canet.
Ms.Howlett, please state your name for the record. Thankyou.
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Howlet if you just take one second. So,just a reminder to people that I have
spoken that they need to go ahead and exit the building, so,we can bring in the next
ones for the room I should say. Thank you. Okay.
Ms. Howlett: My name is Molly Howlett and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to
speak in opposition to the rezoning failure Willis Wayside. When we were looking
to move to a neighbourhood over 6 years ago my husband and I looked at Thalia
for many reasons, one of them being, it was a neighbourhood with a family feeling
and we wanted to live in a neighbourhood where people knew their neighbours.
Everyone looked out for one another as well as the school district. We looked at
Thalia even though we did not have school-aged children, but hoped that one day
our son would move to the area and maybe raised his family. I too have chosen to
look at the educational effects of these proposed projects. I am not going to rehash
the numbers that were already gone over, but there is major concern that Thalia
Elementary is at over capacity. The addition of potential students from this project
will push capacity potentially over 6% with additional information that has been
shared people from the other proposed projects in the area will also, enhance and
add to the overcapacity of these schools. Information has already been covered,
also, addresses the fact that when you come in and out of our neighbourhood during
school times, the traffic can back up, down back past the Edinburg Road. Traffic
can back up out onto the Boulevard when parents are trying to come in. They are
trying to move buses, they are trying to move day-care vans, the whole nine yards,
and it just is very dangerous for the parents who live close in the area and are trying
to walk their students over into the school. There also, should be consideration for
the homes that are being knocked down over on Thalia South, that are being
replaced with 2 and 3 town homes on a property lot, which will also, add to the
overcapacity of this school. These kids are then within the walking zone and there
is no sidewalks and traffic in the busyness of this area is going to be very dangerous
for these families. I vote that you oppose this project, and keep our school districts
in the excellent rating that they are, and that our neighbourhood gets to stay what it
is, a nice quiet neighbourhood. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. And again, I want to reiterate that if you have spoken and you are not
part of the original group of the party on either side, the applicant or the citizens,
please leave the room because of the COVID virus in what the restraints we are
under. Okay.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Michael Canet, followed by Gail Canet. Mr
Canet, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
30
Mr. Canet: Michael Canet. The comprehensive plan mentions quality or high quality and it is
repeated numerous times. How you translate high quality? This fails the quality
metric requirement as there has been no quantifiable metric standard provided by
the staff or the builder to the Commission or to the public from which to judge
quality. I could not find it. Compatibility with surroundings is another standard.
There is absolutely no visible structures surrounding this property that use concrete
fibreboard panels, exterior insulation, and finished system. There is nothing
traditional about concrete fibreboard panels, whatsoever. The panel colors are
replaced to create a contrasting appearance, which further reinforces the facts of in
compatibility with surroundings. Material, shapes, colors, contrast all fail to meet
the compatibility of surroundings requirement, attractiveness of a site and building.
It is the considered opinion of the Thalia residential area residence from which the
project is named that the developments buildings are unattractive. Thus, the
proposal fails to meet the attractiveness requirement. Sufficient amount of open
space, as with quality, this project fails to meet the metric of open space because
there are no metrics provided. Effective buffering has 4 criteria, which are
mentioned without quantifying them. Type, size, intensity, and relationship to the
surroundings. There is no type buffer it goes immediately from one single family
homes to 3 storeys. Size, no buffer, a single-family home it is quick straight to 3
storey large dwellings as far as intensity, well if you are in a residential home, that
project is going to look very intense right next door. Relationship to the
surrounding, suburban residential housing homeowners specifically moved away
from urban apartments and townhomes, when they chose to take on the
responsibility and expense of an individual suburban residential home.
Homeowners rejected a relationship with apartments and townhomes. Also,
suburban residential, right up against a major urban artery is not a reasonable
relationship to surrounding uses. Multi-bedroom units where children live plays
close to a major urban artery with 45 mile per hour speed limits endanger children.
This proposal fails to meet this metric as well. Thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Gail Canet, followed by Glenn Bushnell. Mrs.
Canet, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Canet: Thank you Commissioners. My name is Gail Canet. Thank you for listening to the
citizens who have put their roots down in Thalia, I am one of them. Today, may I
please speak to the environmental impact of removing the many large mature trees
on the property under consideration. Mature trees control stormwater runoff and act
as many reservoirs by, number one, intercepting and holding rain on leaves
branches and bark. Two,increasing infiltration and storage of rainwater through the
trees root system. Three, reducing soil erosion by slowing rainfall before it strikes
31
the soil and for incorporating rainwater into the biomass. In May 2020, a survey
was conducted using the Eye Tree Tool National Tree Benefit Calculator. On the
northwest corner of the property in question.Only mature trees between the existing
paved parking and the existing buffer zone were surveyed. Four Oak trees, 5
Sycamores,and 7 Loblolly Pines,Crape Myrtles,Crabapples,and several small and
unhealthy landscape trees around the parking lot a retention pond did not factor in
this study. Calculations are based on tree size as circumference at 4.5 feet and tree
species. For just the 16 trees,the rainfall intercepted by slowing runoff and allowing
root systems to absorb the water as well as evaporation from leaves, needles,
branches and bark amounts to 35,847 gallons per year. Stormwater runoff avoided
3707 gallons per year. Atmospheric co2 reduction, that is greenhouse gases, 5513
pounds per year. Now multiply these numbers by a factor of at least 3. Why? the
survey did not include that protected and heavily forested and vegetated buffer zone
50 plus feet deep between Thalia forest lane, backyards, and the survey area nor
did it include the 4 massive red oaks and 13 pine trees on the Virginia Beach
Boulevard frontage. And we have said nothing about shade value or noise
abatement Commissioners to these matters. Root systems provide filtration,
removing these webs of containment raises levels of phosphorus and nitrogen to
the watershed, referred to the 2019, Chesapeake Bay Clean Water Blueprint. Each
bay jurisdiction is responsible for meeting their pollution reduction goals. EPA
imposes consequences for missed goals. No permeable pavers, complex,
underground stormwater systems, or purchase of nutrient credits provide these
ecological and aesthetic benefits. We like these trees. Please utilize the green
infrastructure in place. Protecting and enhancing open spaces is mandated in the
comprehensive plan for suburban areas. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair. The next speaker is Gwen Bushnell, followed by Sharon Waligora.
Ms. Bushnell is a virtual speaker. Ms. Bushnell,please pause for 3 seconds.
Ms. Bushnell: I was going to be virtual, but I am here. Good afternoon. My name is Gwen
Bushnell. I have been a Thalia resident for over 20 years. When my family and I
moved to Thalia,we chose it because of the single-family homes, the large lots and
the mature trees that she has been talking about. I am opposed to this project
because it is too high density for this location. This area is not a strategic growth
area. I do not feel that this is an appropriate location for 261 apartments that are in
3 buildings, 5 storeys high. This is completely out of character with the
neighbourhood. There are no other 5 storey buildings anywhere near except at
Towne Centre. In addition, the applicants proposal on page 5, under the shared
parking analysis that "of 261 proposed dwelling units a minimum number of 200
efficiency studio, studio flat, and/or one bedroom units are proffered, therefore,
32
limiting the amount of parking needed." In reality, quite often one-bedroom units
are shared by a couple, and therefore, would need, there would be 2 people sharing
an apartment and most likely they would have 2 cars. This affects the parking
situation and the traffic situation. I know that the applicant has done a traffic study;
however, I live in the neighbourhood and I know first-hand what the intersection of
Virginia Beach Boulevard and Thalia Road is like even now at peak traffic hours
and it would get much worse. This is a safety issue particularly with the elementary
school being so, close. I would call your attention to the bottom of page 4 of their
proposal under a traffic impact analysis, which acknowledges that "the
redevelopment will result in an increase of the number of average daily trips for the
site as the site is currently developed." It goes on to state, Staff does have concerns
about the potential for queuing of traffic on northbound Thalia Road from the
Virginia Beach Boulevard signalized intersection. The applicant is aware that at
some point the future Traffic Engineering Staff may require that the existing
southernmost vehicular access point on Thalia Road be modified from full access
point to a ride-in, ride-out access point. This modification will be necessary if it is
determined that the cue from the traffic signal backs vehicles up through this point
of ingress-egress causing a safety issue for left turning vehicles in and out of the
site. Well I can tell you that I think it is already an issue and so, I would hope that
you would vote, no, on this proposal and thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Sharon Waligora, followed by Donald Meyer.
Ms. Waligora, please state your name for the record, thank you.Madam Chair, if
you just pause for a moment, we aregoing to check the lobby.
Ms. Oliver: Sure.
Mr. Landfair: Thank you.Madam Chair, we will move on to the next speaker Donald Meyer
followed by Cindy Kolaczynski. Mr. Meyer, please state your name for the record.
Thank you.
Mr. Meyer: My name is Donald Meyer. Can you hear me?
Mr. Landfair: Yes.
Mr. Meyer: Can you hear me? My name is Donald Meyer and I ama 24-year resident of Thalia
and I would like to strongly oppose this part of rezoning of the Willis Wayside
property to allow for high density residential apartments. This is a radical departure
from the greed on existing high-density commercial development areas, which are
existing in the City and the Penwill and town scenic regions. Completely contrary
to the rural-suburban character of failure. Thalia is a pastor a world unto itself with
33
low density housing,healthy forest and tree lined streets with natural drainage areas
more immanence of county lanes or urban segs. It is incredibly a quiet
neighbourhood, home to many varieties of raccoons, fox, herons, (inaudible
3:29:14). An article in National Geographic actually states Thalia has one of the
highest concentrations of night heron in the United States. It is fairly the largest
colony of yellow crown night herons in Virginia. The community is a few short
miles from the Mouth of Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. It
isbounds on the north and eastern range of Lynnhaven and west by Thalia Creek,
literally a stone's throw across Thalia Road, which board is the propose spot
rezoning area. The proposed rezoning would put an unprecedented 5 storey
apartment building right at the entrance to this unique pastoral subdivision in the
immediate area of an elementary school, church, existing single-family residential
homes. It would destroy the character of the existing neighbourhood and set a
dangerous precedent for future spot development along the Virginia Beach
Boulevard. All this I spoke to the impact of this project on traffic, school capacity,
etc. However, I find it curious that the Planning Staff have noted a lack of
compliance with the drainage on the property by the previous development
associated with the supermarket. They quote that the new apartment project may be
able to address these issues if approved. In fact, the proposed exotic drainage
solution for the current project points to the overall impact on the entire watershed
of Thalia Creek and the critical wildlife habitats mentioned previously. What is the
rationale to put a 5 storey multipurpose apartment building in the historic
subdivision outside of the SGA. The area is already filled with fire rescue school,
church, and boat launch facilities it does not need any more high-density
development. This rezoning sets a bad precedent and should not be approved.
Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Cindy Kolaczynski, followed by Alex
Kolaczynski. Ms. Kolaczynski, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Kolaczynski: Thank you Madam Chair and members of the Commission. My name is
Cindy Rakling Kolaczynski. I have lived off and on in Thalia for over 50 years and
I am one of the many families and generations that have lived in Thalia over the
years. My family moved into Thalia in 1965, where my father opened the local gas
station. My mother was a school nurse at Princess Anne High School and Malibu
Elementary. I spent my formative years with my friends running and riding the
streets of Thalia without care in the world. After college, I left Virginia Beach and
my parents remained in Thalia, as did many other families that are still in Thalia
today. In 2005, I returned to our great City of Virginia Beach and bought a home
6-houses for my parents, so, I can raise my children near my family and also, in the
34
neighbourhood with great tradition of schools and neighbourhoods. I want to give
you a sense of the family traditions and the families that are in Thalia just by a few
of my neighbours. Next door to me my neighbour has been in Thalia since 1962,
one of the original owners in Thalia. Across the street is a second generation Thalia
family. Behind me is a family whose mother, sister, and daughter are all in Thalia,
and one street over is family that has 4 family members living on the same street in
different homes yes, all on one street. Yes,Thalia has many families that have been
there for many years,and my daughter,even recently in the past year bought a home
in Thalia. Not only are we rich in family history, we are also, attracting and
welcoming new families with young children and families with multiple
generations under one roof. On any given day, you can hear the sounds of kids
playing, dogs barking. You see neighbours of all ages walking and running in the
neighbourhood and riding their bikes. Before long, we will hear the grand sound of
marching band as they prepare for football season. Virginia Beach has grown.
Town Center has evolved, but Thalia remains one of the most desirable suburban
neighbourhoods in proximity to downtown Virginia Beach. On behalf of the Thalia
families present and future,I ask that you sincerely vote no to the rezoning and help
preserve, protect the integrity and the stability of our great neighbourhood. Thank
you so, much for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you so, much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Alex Kolaczynski followed by Shannon Stanton.
Mr. Kolaczynski,please state your name for the record.
Mr. Kolaczynski: Thank you. My name is Alex Kolaczynski. I am going to leave my notes in
my pocket, and I am also, in the interest of time. I actually am representing 5 of my
neighbours as well. So, there are going to be 5 less speakers here because of me.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Kolaczynski: You are welcome. My notes have 3 points. I just want to get to one point. I
have served on the board of the Virginia Beach Community Development
Corporation for 4 years, and during that time, I watched us as Virginia Beach
Community Development Corporation,bring projects to the Planning Commission
and also, to the City Council, and they were workforce, one was a workforce
project. They were obviously a Section-8 and one was a veterans project. And in
each one of those situations, we had to do all the work that the applicant has done,
we went through all of those, all the requirements and planning it requires. And
what is interesting is that, in the case of all three what trumped everything that
happened, that we put the facts, was the reaction of the neighbourhood. The
neighbourhood, basically said, I do not want this for these reasons and those
35
projects were then scrapped and we moved along. And in the case of the workforce
housing, there were, it was going to be a very, if that got to the council, that was
going to be a very robust project. And again,the neighbourhood said no. The green
row neighbourhood came in and said no. What I would like to emphasize here is
that you have got a groundswell people who have said no to this project and are
bringing a great deal of information. And what I am pointing out to you is that the
precedent that our city has had is that we have agreed with what neighbourhoods
want. And that is what you have got here. Thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Shannon Stanton followed by Vicky Gray. Ms.
Stanton is a virtual speaker. Please pause for 3 seconds, so, we can unmute your
mic. Please start by stating your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Stanton: Good afternoon, my name is Shannon Stanton, and I am a resident of Thalia since
2003. First I would like to thank the panel for hearing ourcomments andconcerns
regarding the Willis Wayside proposed rezoning. As, I listen to all the perspectives
share today, I appreciate the efforts to address concerns. However, I would like to
remind the panel of the primary question that I believe needs to be answered. The
city has gone to great lengths to deliberately plan for its growth by quantifying
strategic growth areas within a sustainable framework, the comprehensive plan. In
doing this,the city can continue to grow within its current and projected resources,
daily operation decisions must be aligned with that strategic vision. So,an objective
decision tree is probably key to determining if the proposed project is in the best
interest of the city, economically, socially, and environmentally. The first question
of that tree, I think is,does the project comply with the comprehensive plan. Bottom
line, I believe the proposed project falls outside of the scope and that the property
is not in the geographical boundaries of the strategic growth area.And once we start
to expand the parameters of our deliberate plan, it is a slippery slope, resulting in
second and third order effects that are unintentional but are reality. And, I believe
numerous small considerations granted slowly veer our course without immediate
notice. And over time, we realize we have arrived to a place we cannot maintain or
restore. So,I will close with this, you know,you have been given the authority to
make recommendations to the City Council and ultimately result in decisions for
our city, our family. Therefore, each of you are responsible and accountable
member of this family. And many times in my own family, we have had to say,
simply it is not in plan. So, thank you for your time and I hope that you oppose the
project.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.

Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Vicky Gray, followed by Mark Kurhaus. Ms.
Gray, please state your name for the record, thank you.
Ms. Gray: Yes, I am Vicki Gray. Along with my husband and we have loved living in Thalia
for 29 years. Thank you for allowing us to speak today. We are opposed to the
rezoning of the Willis Wayside property. I will restrict my comments to the impact
of this proposal on the character of the Thalia community as the access point to the
property. Our neighbourhood loves the Towne Center strategic growth area. We
bike there. We enjoy restaurants in plaza, but then we love coffee back over the
Thalia Creek, ride until the boulevard, and returning to our suburban community.
We greatly appreciate that in the city's own plans they specifically state the value
of suburban areas like Thalia, and that Thalia is not designated as a strategic growth
area, one of the only two such areas along the boulevard. We are sad to see an
institution like Willis Wayside go away. That is Mr Gross's decision. We know that
the property will be developed commercially and may not be the vendors of our
choice,but we believe that putting 2 five storey apartment buildings on this corner
will make us appear more to be like Towne Centers for future growth area, and the
suburban character of our little area will be lost forever. We are asking just because
you can approve the project, does not mean that you really should approve the
project.Regarding access points,the Planning Staff finds the project consistent with
a comprehensive plan. I will go on page 4 of the report last paragraph, the report
does acknowledge,there could be a traffic problem with cars backing up turning on
the Thalia Road from the boulevard. And, that the future there may need to be a
right turn only exit at the first Thalia Road access point. One of the nice
development features of the newer and redeveloped areas of the city is to control
access and exits from shopping and neighbourhoods onto the road system, that
standard appears in the May 2016, comprehensive plan reference handbook. It
appears that the Thalia wayside project intends to keep the 4 existing access points
to the adjacent roads. If you approve this application, please take this opportunity
to reconfigure the access points to one major entrance at the east end of the property
onto the boulevard and at a traffic light. I know that we put two traffic lights close
together, but with the excellent timing of the traffic lights on the boulevard, this is
surely something that could be accommodated by your engineers. Thank you for
listening to myself and to our neighbours.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Mark Kurhaus followed by Barbara Duke. Mr.
Kurhaus,please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Kurhaus: Good afternoon, my name is Mark Kurhaus, I am a 38-year Navy veteran still
serving,26-year resident of Thalia.And I have to tell you I have gotten an education
this afternoon during this. I have a great deal of respect for what this commission
does, and I will tell you, I do not envy, a single one of you. Having said that, I am
37
going to confine my comments today and I have got some, some printouts and also,
to the Vulcan report which was mentioned earlier today. Traffic analysis report if I
can just put those up here perhaps you can pass them over. I am going to talk about
3 particular findings that I have been with through the vocal report. I am by trade
systems engineer, so, bear with me. The first is that the traffic impact analysis or
the TIA does not address some major safety concerns that I think that the committee
should, excuse me that the panel should be aware of. Number one, safety metric
was never considered in that study, there was a level of service metric or MOE that
is in that state but never a safety measure was ever looked. The second thing is the
linchpin of the analysis, if you look at right now is a single traffic complex signal.
That tells me as a system engineering, it is also, a single point of failure, you may
want to think about that as you go through and you look at this, the only traffic
modification, that is mentioned in the Vulcan of report and the TIA is a possible
modification to the existing single point of failure traffic scheme. On to my next
point, traffic operations in this report, were made using a tool called Synchro
Professional 9.2. Let us talk about that for a minute. Synchro 9.2 takes a number of
inputs, data inputs, it runs in it and it is probably a very good model. The question
is this, on the input side of data we have only 8 hours of data collected over 2
successive days in a holiday period. That seems to be a remarkable paucity of data,
because when you turn the crank on this you will get answers that precise when you
read that report. I do not think they are very accurate. I think if you carefully read
that report, you will draw the distinction between precision and accuracy. Another
thing in this Synchro Professional 9.2 you might want to ask, there must be some
allowances for environmental. There are blue sky 24 hours, no rain, no
precipitation, no day night. What belated you are going to get from that. I will
conclude by saying, I do not envy your task. I would invite you to take another bulk
report and move forward. I thank you all for your time and your attention. Have a
great day.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair,the next speaker is Barbara Duke,followed by Dot Wood. Ms.Duke,
please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Duke: Good afternoon everyone. My name is Barbara Duke and I have lived in the Thalia
area for over 30 years. I am here today to oppose the project proposed by the Thalia
Road Partners. As a former land use planner for the city, I appreciate the service of
the Planning Commission and I am happy to have the opportunity to be here today
to share my thoughts on this project with you. I am opposed to this project because
in my analysis it does not fully conform to the comprehensive plan.The staff report
states that this project is compatible with the suburban area guidelines for aging
shopping centers. But this is not a complete analysis, the shopping center is
38
correctly described as aging, but it is far from dilapidated or blighted. There has
been redevelopment, recent redevelopment on the site. This site is a vibrant and
vital part of the community as it is. The current B2 zoning allows a variety of uses
that are preferred by the community. It is important that this high-density mixed
use proposal also, be evaluated in the context of the surrounding area, the comp
plan clearly states that high density mixed use developments, such as the one
proposed are most appropriate within strategic growth areas. This site is located
between the two SGAs known as Pember Towne Center and Rosemont. This
project has higher density and height than any other multifamily development
existing along Virginia Beach Boulevard for miles. The Thalia project also, has
more density, building height, mixed use, and impervious surface than the several
residential projects recently approved within the Pembroke strategic growth area.
Why is this highly dense and intense use being contemplated here. The approval of
this project does not just accomplish a rezoning. It represents an effective change
to the boundaries of the SGAs, otherwise known as SGA sprawl. If the city's desire
is to expand the Pember SGA or the Rosemont SGA to provide high density mixed
use for this site, this should not be accomplished by simple rezoning. The site and
the surrounding area, which happens to be about 5 or 6 properties that are not
included between Pembroke and Rosemont. The site and the surrounding areas
should be studied as part of the revision process for the update of the comprehensive
plan that is currently underway in the planning department, and through which
some of these issues like traffic, schools, utilities, could be added. The approval of
this rezoning is not in keeping with the Smart Growth policies clearly outlined in
the comprehensive plan. I urge you to make a decision based on your policies. I
respectfully appeal to your judgment to deny this application today.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Dot Woods followed by Sharon Pollard. Ms.
Wood, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Wood: My name is Dorothy Wood. I am really nervous to be here and surprising since I
chaired this for 8 years or so. It is good to see you all. I have been a resident of
Thalia for 55 years. I must have moved here very young, so, I know what a hard
time you are having here today.And when you retire you will get a clock with your
name on it, so,I am looking forward to that right on. I certainly recognize the
property owners right to develop buy in and use it as he can legally. After all
property rights are the cornerstone of our republic. However, when seeking an
expansion of his legal ability to improve his property,a developer has the obligation
to minimize the impact on its surrounding neighbours, especially the resident from
neighbours. And if you look around like my next door neighbour's third generation
Cindy Rakling, who just spoke to you was one of the Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts
39
in our neighbourhood as with David. We are a neighbourhood where people all
come back and I love that. Of course, I am the oldest one I think. I have no problem
with the developers they are good people, they are my friends, and I bare them no
ill will. I wish they would not tear down historic buildings such as I think was a
hospital or PoW,but I guess it is there right. There is no need for them to add to the
massive increased residential density. They have unrestricted B2 zoning, which
gives them dozens of variable by right uses that are compatible with our
neighbourhood, like office buildings. Thank you for your service and listening to
us. I humbly request to reject this application and free that develop this in a more
reasonable manner. Thank you so, much.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you,
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Sharon Pollard, followed by Betty Upton. Ms.
Pollard is a virtual speaker. Ms. Pollard, please pause for 3 seconds so, we can
unmute your mic. Ms. Pollard, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Pollard: My name is Sharon Pollard and I request that you not approve this proposal. My
husband Johnny and I have lived in Thalia acres for 43 years. In that time, we have
seen a lot of changes in our area. In August of 2018, we noticed major traffic
changes after all the opened on the Willis Wayside property.When turning left from
Virginia Beach Boulevard on to Thalia road, we have been forced to stop in the
middle of the westbound Virginia Beach traffic because one or two cars are slowly
turning into the Allway parking lot. Since the majority of today's drivers see no
need to use signal lights, there is no advanced warning that those cars are turning,
and therefore, we have had no opportunity to avoid blocking the boulevard. This
issue will only be exacerbated by the addition of the residents of the proposed 261
apartments and the cars they will own. In addition to the residents cars, there will
be further traffic congestion generated from the cars belonging to the families and
friends who will inevitably be visiting those apartments. Add to that the businesses
that will be on the property and add back to the above mentioned traffic issue and
we are looking at a serious bottleneck.There are not enough parking spaces planned
to accommodate the business workers and their patrons as well as the apartment
residents and their families and friends. This fact will contribute to a traffic backup
simply because a parking place cannot be found, particularly during peak traffic
hours of the day. When school was in session, I was told that the backup and the
right turn lane on Thalia road at Virginia Beach Boulevard reached all the way back
to Thalia Elementary School at about 7 or 7:15 in the morning. This backup
encouraged people to get in the straight lane, and then turn right onto Virginia
Beach Boulevard from that straight lane. Not only is this situation a safety issue,
but it also, hinders the already overburdened school bus situation, which will be
further hampered if the buses are not able to arrive at their destinations on time to
40
deliver and pick up the students. As you can imagine, additional cars generated by
this apartment business complex proposal would further add to these already
existing problems. Another safety issue that concerns us is the lack of space and
this mixed-use complex for a large fire truck and other necessary equipment that
would be needed during a 5 storey building fire. According to the proposed plans,
there seems to be very little road access particularly for the apartments in the second
building. Again, we respectfully ask that you.
Ms. Oliver: (inaudible 3:54:21) with that.
Ms. Pollard: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Becky Upton followed by Lynn Hornbeck. Ms.
Upton, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Upton: Good afternoon,Becky Upton.Good afternoon,Madam and Planning Commission.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak this afternoon. I have been a
long time Thalia resident, I appreciate this opportunity very much, and I
respectfully request that the Commission disapprove, the recommendation of the
applicant's request. I have three points for your consideration and the first one I
have not heard yet. This afternoon, I do not think. And that is I wonder what is the
science behind coming to the conclusion that Virginia Beach has built enough
apartments. I think that at some point in time we will come up to capacity of the
number of apartments built, and my concern is the city not over build. And then
those apartments not be occupied and somehow we will end up with somesort of a
ghetto. I do not know what science there is behind that but there must be some kind
of determination of what is the overall capacity of the city for a preference. My
second point has already been talked about a lot and that is the traffic, and as you
know,the Thalia neighbourhood backs up on the water and the exit out of the Thalia
neighbourhood is only available on a couple of streets to go from the Thalia
neighbourhood to Virginia Beach Boulevard, and it backs up and we have had a lot
of discussion about that. My third point also, has been discussed, and that is that I
believe it is a very big safety issue, the ingress and the exit in and out of the Thalia
wayside is not conducive or safe or easy, and there is been a lot of discussion about
how hard it is to get out of that area and if you have been there you know exactly
what I am talking about. And if you have not been there, I would respectfully
request that you go there and you can see what we mean about the traffic coming
out of all the and trying to get onto the Virginia Beach Boulevard and backing up
the traffic. It is a very large safety issue.So, in summary, I respectfully request that
you disapprove the request. There have been a lot of people who have asked you
that, and each one of us standing here represents numerous,numerous other people
in the neighbourhood who did not have the opportunity to come and speak to you.
41
So, in summary, I would ask you to disapprove it because what is the strategic plan
for growth for apartments. I am not sure that is been looked at, and the traffic on
the streets. We have had differing opinions of whether or not there is a traffic
problem and there must be exact numbers behind that. I am not sure we have arrived
at that. And then thirdly, the safety issue of coming in and out. Thank you very
much for the opportunity.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Lynn Hornbeck followed by Derrick Fick. Ms.
Hornbeck, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Hornbeck:Good afternoon Madam Chair and Commissioners. I am Lynn Hornbeck a 12-year
Thalia resident. Thank you for the opportunity today to talk about property values
and apartment vacancies which I hope you will take into consideration and deciding
on this proposal on property values. The applicant states that the increase in home
values from 2015 to 2024, for homes directly adjacent to 4 Class-A apartment
communities has increased over the roughly 3%higher than the city average of 14.
Fact these complexes are located within areas that were primarily developed after
1970 while Thalia was primarily developed prior to 1970. It is reasonable to assume
that the resort oceanfront areas and newer area is still being developed would
appreciate at a slightly faster rate than older areas of the city like Thalia. And
although, Thalia is an older neighbourhood, the median real estate prices second
only to the new and still developing right now NEEMO area. The applicant
promises that the proposed complex will be a Class-A community. Of the 29
apartment complexes built in the city since the 2003 comprehensive plan, all of
them have fitness center, swimming pools, and club houses,regardless of the price
range, and most have reasonable closets space and modern kitchens. All these high
end finishes and best in class amenities that they speak of are run of the mill today.
Third,what are the increased values for homeowners and increased revenue for the
city of Virginia Beach. The average single-family home in Virginia Beach is
338,000, the average value of an apartment unit is 127,000. While one might
presume the high density apartments increase the tax base, the continued
unrestrained development of these complexes will discourage potential home
owners from settling here and investing, resulting in long-term negative impact on
home values. Finally, regarding the impact from actual strategic growth area
development, the Pembroke SGA plan calls for 1500 apartments in the gateway
waterfront district,just to the west of Thalia Creek, and only a few hundred yards
from the Willis site, the waterfront district will offer casual places to eat our
galleries and performances. Fact, this proposed development within the waterfront
district within an SGA and easily accessible to the well planned urban lifestyle of
42
town center would negatively impact this proposed 261 unit apartment complex in
the Willis wayside neighbourhood. Moving on to vacancy.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Hornbeck:Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Derrick Fick, followed by Jean Lemoine. Mr.
Fick, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Fick: Good afternoon. My name is Derrick Fick. I am current resident and the property
owner of the area known as Thalia Shores and have been for the past 23 years. I
am here today to strongly oppose conditional rezoning request to change the
existing zoning district of B2 to B4 submitted by Thalia Road Partners. The current
use of the subject property, with its commercial tenants fits the general area and
blends in with the residential area nearby. Should the rezoning to be for
reauthorized, the property will subject to a 5-story structure. Significant traffic
congestion, a heavy stress on the current wastewater and sewer system, and
overloaded the Thalia Elementary School nearby, and will generally not harmonize
with the surrounding neighbourhood. This property is not within the strategic
growth area as defined by the City's Comprehensive Plan. Should the rezoning be
authorized, I ask the question, what is the value of strategic growth planning if it is
modified by this kind of resemble. An additional significant concern has recently
developed with the Virginia Beach City Council's approval of a sea level rise plan
that directly affects the subject property, the intersection of Thalia Road, and it is
Rhalia Road not Thalia Drive as represented on some of the graphics, an
intersection in Thalia Road and Virginia Beach Boulevard and portions of the
subject property are within a FEMA defined flood zone, which is subject to the
possibility of 1.5 feet of sea level rise by 2050. If the rezoning was authorized,there
was a greatly increased threat risk to this project due to that sea level rise. What
better way for the city to begin acting on the city council's sea level rise plan, than
to continue existing zone where rezoning enables a project with a higher level of
risk. Please deny this request for rezoning. Thank you for your time and attention.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Jean Lemoine, followed by Gregory Lemoine.
Ms. Lemoine, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Lemoine: Hello. Good afternoon. My name is Jean Lemoine. I live at 400, Thalia Road in
Virginia Beach. My property borders the Thalia Wayside, and I wanted to say, this
project is too large for the site. There are parking issues already and storm drainage
issues,the parking lot on the slides that they are showing now is actually larger than
43
what they started off with. And we are in danger of losing large trees over 40 of
them.There is large Loblolly pines,white oak, sweet gum trees.We have Fox,owl,
Osprey,blue birds other wildlife.The wood is thick with lots of undergrowth.There
would be loss of habitat for all kinds of wildlife. An article in the pilot says soaking
up water is not a tree silently building does for us. Everyday big trees out there are
taking in toxic carbon dioxide and putting oxygen back into the air. Trees
conveniently store this and releasing oxygen back to Earth. In essence, if you have
two big trees in your yard, they will provide enough oxygen for your family of 4.
Trees provide food for homes of hundreds of insects, animals, birds and insects.
Caterpillars are the main food source for baby birds, because like human babies
they can only soft food. So,I am going to cut to it here. There is another part of this
article says Bill Johnson, who was in charge of the City Public Works staff told me
about several homeowners, we had cut down, large trees in their yards after
Hurricane Isabel blew through a lot of the trees were a casualty in that storm,
because of the homeowners did not want trees falling on their houses in the next
hurricane. However, after the trees, the homeowners yards flooded in the next
storm. We have three large trees in our front yard and two large trees in our
backyard, our yard still floods in heavy rains, I have sent pictures into the board's
members. My concern is that when a lot of these large trees are cut down our
flooding will become worse. If the project is approved as it stands, we will lose a
lot of our buffer between Virginia Beach Boulevard, and we would also, have
privacy issues in the Thalia forest neighbourhood. For some of us, it would be a
safety issue, 3 storey townhouses with rooftop balconies face some of our
backyards, with most of the woods gone, there would be people looking over our
back fences. With townhouses,there would be an increase of schoolchildren. Some
of the teachers at the elementary, of course you guys already know about that. So,I
am going to cut to the chase and say I just hope you guys vote against this. This is
not for this site.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair,the next speaker is Gregory Lemoine, followed by Alan Manglinok.
Mr. Lemoine, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Lemoine: Hello, my name is Gregory Lemoine, and as I point out there a lot of buts to the
proposed development, right next to the buffer of trees. I have a concern at a
meeting that they that we had with the developers in December. Their intention was
to put a temporary fence 20 feet from the property line. And then, clear out
everything beyond that, and then use a root cutter to cut all the roots of those trees
to extend beyond that. So, what they would essentially be doing is cutting the roots
from the trees on site away from my house. And, we have a very big concern about
wind damage from that and the trees falling toward the house from the cut. Also,
as you mentioned, there are yard floods coming from there. Taking out that wide
44
area of trees,which provides a big buffer against the framework would likely cause
to flood even more. We are also, concerned about the traffic peak hours to
congestion just because you have heard so, many times before. And, we are
concerned, it is being proposed outside of the strategic growth area, the City
Council,determined clustered growth areas several years ago,and they deliberately
left our suburban area for a reason. And, I thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: I have one question for you sir. Where is your house in?
Mr. Lemoine: 400, Thalia Road. It is right next to the lot.
Ms. Oliver: We have exactly where it is? Do we have a map? I am just curious.
Mr. Lemoine: To the top left of that blue square, the first house right there.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, thank you. And, the tree was cut?
Mr. Lemoine: No, no. They are saying that they will be cutting the roots of the trees.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, they have not done that. I have misunderstood. I just wanted to clarify that.
Mr. Lemoine: Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Lemoine: Right.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Lemoine: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Alan Manglinok, followed by Jeff Darrington.
Mr. Manglinok, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Manglinok: Good afternoon. My name is Alan Mr. Manglinok. I have been a resident of
the Thalia neighbourhood since 2006, and we strongly object to the proposed
rezoning of the Willis Wayside property from B2 community business district to a
B4 mixed use district, and to propose project to build mixed use residential and
retail structures to accommodate some 261 family units to include a building with
4 storeys of a ground floor parking. Such project may be suitable to support the
plan Pembroke and Rosemont strategic growth areas as mentioned before, but the
Thalia neighbourhood is not a part of either of those.The introduction of 261 family
units and approximately 10,000 square feet of retail space creates both parking and
traffic congestion issue for a small area with a single traffic light, and barely a
handful of access points from Virginia Beach Boulevard. Proposed project
estimates 339 residents, and you can be sure that every one of those residents will
45
drive a car. A cursory examination of the neighbourhood within one mile of the site
will show that the parking overflow will spread to the nearby public streets, as is
currently the case. My home is on Thalia Forest lane. Okay, it is the first street
directly behind the proposed project. And, it would for obvious reasonsbecome
default overflow parking due to its proximity. We see that already when Thalia
Elementary School has any kind of an event. Everyone parks along Thalia Road
and on Thalia forest lane. In addition, the traffic congestion issue affects access to
Thalia road, Thalia elementary school, and the nearby Princess Ann High School
particularly during peak traffic hours. Anyone that lives there knows exactly what
I am talking about, when you are trying to go to work early in the morning or you
are trying to come home when the school secures. With approximately 97,000
square feet of bacon retail space within line of sight of the proposed rezoning,what
is the point of adding the additional proposed retail space, especially when the
current available retail spaces within walking distance. If the currently available
retail space,such as the former farm fresh and colon square, less than one mile from
Willis Wayside cannot and will not be utilized, what sort of retail businesses does
the developer expect to attract, that would not be better suited to Pembroke Mall
which is also, within walking distance. Proposed rezoning and the subsequent
building project, in my opinion, will change the very character of the Thalia
neighbourhoods for the worse. We purchased our home with the ambience of the
neighbourhood and the nearby schools in mind. The last thing we wish to see is a 5
story structure less than a football pitch away and visible from my front porch.
Please be considered to be the rezoning of this property. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Redmond:Madam Chair.
Ms. Oliver: Yeah.
Mr. Redmond:Excuse me sir.
Mr. Manglinok: Yes.
Mr. Redmond:Please come back for a second. I think I have a question for you. I think you are
about the fourth or fifth speaker that I have heard mention the parking situation at
Thalia Elementary School.
Mr. Manglinok: Yes sir.
Mr. Redmond:My daughter at one point went to Thalia Elementary School. So,I am well familiar
with it. My question is, has anybody chosen to raise any of these issues with the
school board and school administration or merely to us? It seems to me if there is
46
an existing unsafe condition at Thalia Elementary School, at least it has been
described, seems to me it would be an important point to make them.
Mr. Manglinok: I do not know of any initiative that has been done on that part. Of you, my
daughter, we can pretty much walk there. So, we used to we used to re-escort her
all the time, so,it is a different issue for us.It is it is totally different for everyone
who is got a park along Thalia drive and people that end up going into the cul-de-
sac park the vehicles,bring their kids, walk their kids over, and then come back.
Mr. Redmond:My point is, if you think there is a parking problem in Thalia Elementary School, I
would urge you to contact the school administration if that is the folks who run.
Mr. Manglinok: Sir, if you put an additional 300 some cars in that area, we are going to get
that overfull parking.
Mr. Redmond:Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Jeff Darrington, followed by InmanDoherty. Mr.
Darrington, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Okay, I am sorry. Madam Chair, we will move on to the next speaker.
InmanDoherty followed by Monica Wenker. Mr. Doherty, please state your name
for the record. Thank you,
Mr. Doherty: Madam Chair, Commissioners, and City Staff, good afternoon. My name is
InmanDoherty. I have lived in Thalia for 31 years now, and I am here to speak in
opposition to this proposed rezoning project.My specific interest here is in proffers.
We talked a little bit about them earlier like they amplified a couple of our points.
Proffers are used to protect the city and the taxpayer. The applicant's proffers do
not show commitment to the plan as being proposed nor to ensuring that any
shortfalls and project planning and implementation are fully the applicant's
responsibility. The proffers do not address the most elemental aesthetic
neighbourhoods concerns we talked about. I am not going to repeat those, there is
no reason. But, as examples of proffers that we think would need to be included in
that project, a proffer could clearly state the applicant's responsibility to maintain
the stormwater management plan. Proffer should to be recorded to, at minimum,
ensure annual testing and performance validation with new stormwater
management system,since it is a new and really untested system,especially in view
of the newer city standards. We talked a little bit about parking before, and the
applicant talked about some of the controls he is going to put in for parking, so,I
am not going to discuss that. But, it really would be nice to see those items
addressed in the proffer. The interest is exit on the Thalia road is a problem as well.
And, I really just want to talk about a little example of a problem I have had with
47
traffic. I was trying to turn left from Virginia Beach Boulevard onto the Thalia road.
I was in the left-hand turn lane, there were a bunch of cars behind me. The car
pulled up next to me on the left-hand lane to the right lane. The left-hand turn lane
got the green arrow, I went, that person went as well try to go around and get in
front of me and cut in front of me to get onto Thalia road. That is an example of
what I think is going to be innovative transit into parking,and I am really concerned
that that is going to happen more than once. As far as public utilities and water and
sewage, it will really be nice to have a proffer near that says anything that they
discovered during the project, they are going to pay for the fix, but we do not see
that. And as far as the architecture and design of buildings, it would also, be really
nice if we could have a little bit of a proffer in there to try and get those things a
little closer to what our neighbourhood looks like. We do not have any Mansard
roofs. In conclusion, proffers are disappointing, and do not address or attempt to
ameliorate the problems that we see. We would like to see this happen because we
would like to see this as a first-class project,but we really would like to see is most
of all, not in our neighbourhood. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Monica Lenker, followed by Alan Wakefield.
Ms. Lenker, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Lenker: 17 years I am asking committee vote no on this project. My main concern is the
traffic. I do not have any mathematical numbers for you nor statistics, but what I
do have is me looking out the front door for 17 years at the traffic on Edinburg,
especially in the morning when people are going to work and in the evening when
people are coming home, it has increased over the years, but I know if there is an
apartment, it will get even more congested. So, I ask you again to please vote no,
thank you for listening.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Alan Wakefield, followed by Blair Ferguson, Mr
Wakefield, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr Wakefield:Good afternoon, everybody. My name is Alan Wakefield. I have lived in Thalia
for 34 years. Today, I am addressing you some of the issues in the Thalia rezoning.
Some of them have not heard and some again have been just go over and repeat
them again.The first one is a number of cars and access was allotted to the rezoning.
I already have difficulty when I go into all these because the handicapped places
are normally taken already, and the other parking places around are also, usually
filled. This is many times during the day. Number 2, is people have mentioned the
congestion on Thalia road. I am handicap, which adds to the need for less cars. I
48
ride a scooter sometimes and it is very difficult because the traffic is already more
than what reasonable should be there. And on top of what this would do. Number
3, the number of students at Thalia Elementary will most likely increase above the
stated number, so, more teachers and more money will obviously be needed. I am
a retired teacher, and so, I know what it is like to have a couple more kids in the
classroom and how much more difficult it is, and the amount of work it is for the
teacher. Number 4, there are also, many uncounted cost to this also. One is the
livability decreases because the height of the building. Now when we look out we
see some of the town, but now we are going to look over and see this 5 storey
building, which is really to me I have lived in a Thalia because it had no high
buildings and this kind of stuff. The Height of the building, the loss of trees and
natural canopy they produces another someone's mentioned the garbage to the trees.
It dirt science, they take in carbon dioxide give off oxygen, and they built did not
have unwanted noise introduced into our neighbourhood. We will have much more
noise because of the more commercial and more apartments within Almond Cedar
Lane. So,I will definitely be able to hear a lot of that. Thank you for listening to me
today and thank you for doing this,but I would appreciate it if you would turn down
this rezoning.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Blair Ferguson, followed by Denny Novrad. Mr.
Ferguson is a virtual speaker. Mr. Ferguson, please pause for three seconds, so,we
can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Mr. Ferguson, please start by stating your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: I think, we will need to move on to the next speaker.
Ms. Oliver: I agree.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Danny Novrad, followed by Paul Johnson. Ms.
Novrad, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Novrad: This is Danny Novrad Chi. I am a local historian and former Thalia resident. We
are going to try to condense some history in 3 minutes. In early 1640, 2 gentlemen
were granted land in Thalia. One of them was Adam Thurgood and another was
Lancaster Lovett. In the 1800s, Somerville plantation graced Thalia,and that manor
house was built by Norfolk merchant for his son Charles McIntosh. Somerville
plantation stayed in the same family for 5 decades. Charles McIntosh was the
commander of the Virginia Navy during the Civil War, and he was mortally
wounded on an iron clad in Louisiana. I see references to Thalia as far back as 1893,
when it was named as a post office in Princess Anne County. Moving forward in
49
the 1920s,the Norfolk Jewish community built Lynn Haven Golf and Country Club
in Thalia, and that Country Club hosted a restaurant, cabins, dances, and a 9-hole
golf course. In 1937, a TB Hospital was erected on the boulevard. In 1939, Thalia
Acres Inn was built by Robert Stein Hilbert on the burned side of Lynnhaven Golf
and Country Club. Genie Stein Gilbert's house is the oldest in Thalia and predates
even the Country Club days. Its base structure was built in 1908. In the mid 1940s,
the TB Hospital building became headquarters for camp area, renamed camp
Ashby, and it was converted to a Prisoner of War Camp for Germans. Also, in the
1940s, there was a notorious Madame from Norfolk who built her home in Thalia.
That home is approved to be listed on the Virginia landmarks register and national
register workplaces. In the 1940s, Thalia also, had a horse racing track and an
airstrip to train Civil War Cadets. Few neighbourhoods can boast a rich fabric of
history like Thalia, and from the Planning Department website I quote that,"one of
the principles for suburban areas is to protect and enhance natural open spaces and
places and buildings of cultural and historic significance." I maintain that this
project is in congruent with the Planning Department's principles and respectfully
propose that Thalia remain a suburban site, historical site. Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Paul Johnson, followed by Aaron Rowe. Mr.
Johnson, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Johnson: Good afternoon, my name is Paul Johnson, I am a 20-year resident of Thalia, a
retired Virginia Beach schoolteacher. I retired from Thalia Elementary School. I
am currently back in the classroom pre-COVID, I am a title one math tutor at Bettie
F. Williams Elementary. And, I say that because every afternoon,during the school
year, I drive home on Virginia Beach Boulevard and turn left into Thalia road. Not
during rush hour between 2:30 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. And, I often have to
wait for one traffic, you know, one cycle of the light. But if you are lucky enough
to get through, you end up on Thalia road waiting for people to turn into ALDI.
You have heard it from many speakers and that is a real problem, not just at rush
hour,but the time I come home at 2:30 to 3 in the afternoon. Now, I leave for work
from Thalia road and pass Thalia Elementary to turn right onto the boulevard. This
is the time in the morning when parents are dropping off their students, and there
is a police person there to escort the buses in, but the parents coming in north on
Thalia road, waiting for their turn to get into the in front of Thalia. It is not that
there is not parking at Thalia. It is the children that are delivered by their parents or
caregivers that cause the traffic problems. Now, if I will answer your question. The
city has built an extended parking lot for teachers on the north end of the school. It
is a grab a lot,but the parking for Thalia Elementary is fine,but it is the parents that
come that create the problem. But there is one issue and that is on weekends when
everybody's home in their apartments right, the shops are still open up in the
50
proposed site, and all the activities are going on from the Thalia Malibu Recreation
League on Thalia, on the big ball fields, just south of the school. Those people
parked on front of the school, but they will not park way over where the teachers
park,they go into the neighbourhoods and park and you know where they are going
to be parking if this building is approved, or where they park now, they park in the
Willis wayside or the Willis Furniture parking lot,just north of ALDI. And, there
is a lot of them. If you drive down Thalia road on weekends, you will see softball,
you will have for COVID, but softball games, one after another all day Saturday
and all day Sunday, and all those people park over there. Let us see what I am
going to say. I just got to say something that is the threat from the developer about
building a big box store there. There is no room for a big box store in that property.
That is just, that is a red herring that is been thrown out, so, we do not even listen
to that.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you sir very much. I am sorry your time is up.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Aaron Rowe, followed by Boo Burrows. Ms.
Rowe is a virtual speaker. Ms. Rowe, please pause for three seconds, so, we can
unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Rowe: Good afternoon, can you hear me?
Ms. Rowe: Hello, can you hear me?
Mr. Landfair: We can hear you.
Ms. Rowe: Thanks. Good afternoon, my name is Aaron Rowe and I am a Thalia homeowner.
We bought our home last year and we love this neighbourhood. My husband is
about to retire from the military, and we chose this community to be our forever
home where we are going to raise our young kids. So, as new residents, we are
opposing this rezoning it is not just a lifelong resident you are hearing from today
and I will keep this short and sweet as many my points have already been discussed
and addressed by speakers more eloquent than me. We are concerned about the
traffic and the associated safety concerns of putting hundreds of new residents at
an already congested intersection Thalia Road and Virginia Beach Boulevard. As
the previous speaker said, at school drop off time at Thalia Elementary,Thalia road
is already backed up as parents drop their children and neighbours are leaving for
work, hundreds of new residents trying to exit this apartment complex onto Thalia
road and then onto Virginia Beach Boulevard, is going to be a big safety issue and
it is going to create problematic traffic congestion. I believe the city should stick to
the approved strategic growth areas for these large multiunit residential projects. I
am not opposed to residential development there in the form of maybe townhomes
or something on some sort of smaller scale, but putting a 5 storey building along
51
Virginia Beach Boulevard in this location where everything surrounding it for miles
up to the town centre is 2 storeys high, I think it is going to be an eyesore. I just
think this is the wrong place for a large apartment complex and ask that you vote
no on this proposal. Thank you for your time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Boo Burrows, followed by Diane McClung. Mr.
Burrows,please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Sharon Decandia.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Sharon Decandia, followed by Mrs. Cap. Ms.
Decandia, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Caps: Hello, my name is Oula Caps, that is why he calls me Mrs. Caps. I want to thank
you all for listening to all of us and I know it is very late. But,this is very important
to us. I am a former school bus driver, so, I can attest to all the traffic problems that
they have been saying,okay, and it is a real problem. Add more homes and it is
going to be a disaster. People do not drive, like they used to where they signal,they
ley people go, they just go, point one. Point two, there are 36% apartments
compared to 64% homes that people are buying. In other words, the trend is not
going into the apartments, the trend is going into homes, single homes. I have been
inThalia since I was 8 years old, and I am over the years now. Okay. I like hearing
the band. I do not like hearing the noise,you put that building up,you take the trees
down, the noise comes flooding in. My house already floods, since the last 5 years
with all the building that is been going on with Towne Centre and everything, my
yard has been flooding. It is only going to get worse. I live about maybe 100 yards
away from the creek. So, it is going to get worse. I like to stay into my house until
I die, simple as that. I do not think that this is a good project. I do not want the
eyesore. I have nothing against the builders. They have their job. Our job as citizen
is to tell you guys what we want and we do not want. And, since you have already
planned the city, you have got that down. So,I am just asking that you keep to that
plan,and not let the developers,push you into anything else. I appreciate your time.
And, I hope that you all stay healthy. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Ms. Caps I just want to thank you for being a bus driver.
Ms. Caps: It was the best years of my life, best years.
Ms. Oliver: Well, thank you.

Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Dennis Hobbs, followed by Alexander Smith.
Mr. Hobbs is a virtual speaker. Mr. Hobbs, please pause for three seconds so, that
we can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the record. Thank
you.
Mr. Hobbs: Hi everyone, my name is Dennis Hobbs,I am a long-term resident of Thalia, and I
appreciate the opportunity to speak to you on this topic. I oppose the Willis
Wayside rezoning and the plan as it stands. Basically, what I am hearing is this
whole effort is just so, wrong in so,many ways. We have heard various people talk
items like architecture and size trying to fit this behemoth into a postage stamp like.
We have stormwater, school impact, parking, traffic, environmental, utilities, and
it is not in an appropriate zone for this type of development. It is a pure urban
concept, as they say. The numbers, what we have here is a lot of people what I am
hearing, we are all using numbers different ways to justify our goal. But my
understanding is and experience as numbers are misleading. When you look at such
things as like the 400k in taxes sounds like a big benefit. But, the things I question
in a lot of the presentations was, what is the recovery period on it or do we ever
recover it, do we constantly pay for this mistake? All that aside,this thing just does
not fit the style, smashed into the posted size lot with 5storey, 60-feet building. I
tried to visualize that so, I actually drove down, Pembroke office building. It is like
sticking one of those 5 storey Pembroke office buildings on that lot, or that new
construction of a Witchduck in the boulevard, I believe those are apartments. I
cannot even imagine one of those on the lot that size, no matter how they decorate
or try to camouflage it to fit into that environment. This thing backs on the
residential large suburban lot homes. It is right up against those people. I dread the
thought of them looking at their back window 60-foot buildings behind them. I
hope their taxes go down appropriately. As for rendering, renderings in my
experience are utopian. That is the golden vision of what it will look like. If you
noticed, there is only one or two cars spaced around most of those for those things,
and even the one across the front of the building, it has every other space building.
It would not look like that we can guarantee that.We have heard them say a number
of times it is short on spaces. So, what we do, we worked in numbers, so, all is
okay. Trust us. They even stated I guess the Planning Commission staff supported
that. The parking concept they use is acceptable in urban and it is common in urban
environments, I heard that is a code. So, I still oppose these giant 5-storey, 60-feet
buildings on that little corner, I see nothing, all the way to Malibu towers or west
of Towne Centre of that size. It destroys the suburban environment, impacts the
neighbourhood. I question.

Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Alexander Smith, followed by Randy Lanker.
Mr. Smith is a virtual speaker. Mr. Smith, please pause for three seconds, so, we
can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Smith: Hi, I believe, I may have been slightly misclassified. It is Alexandra Gross Smith
and I am not in opposition to the project. I am in fact in support of the project. I am
a resident of Thalia, and I more than welcome high-density housing coming to the
area. It benefits us, the community. It strengthens nearby business. It increases the
local tax pays. It presumably feeds on need for housing because otherwise this
would not be built. I have heard the concerns of local residents and the Civic
League, and I feel that they are vastly overstated and most of them are aimed at
minor issues and have already been addressed in revisions or reports. The City
Comprehensive Plan is not dogmatic, it is not required, that it be followed to the
letter. Strategic growth areas are not the only places where things can be built. I
have a son, he goes to Thalia Elementary. We are not concerned about the impact
of this building of apartments will have on the local schools. If people are concerned
about funding, they know where the City Council is, I would suggest they go talk
to them about allocating more money. Ultimately,the biggest concern is traffic and
traffic can be fixed. The entrances to the area can be improved. I do not believe that
that alone is a sufficient reason to shut down housing for a few hundred people.
Ultimately, I think a lot of the objections simply boil down to nimbyism. And, I do
not think that that is worth shutting down affordable housing for a large group of
people. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair,the next speaker is Randy Lenker, followed by Virginia Wasserberg.
Mr. Lenker is a virtual speaker. Mr. Lenker,please pause for three seconds, so, we
can unmute your mic. Please start by stating your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Lenker: Commission members,my name is Randy Lenker, I appreciate you taking the time
to hear my concerns today concerning this project. I am asking today that you would
vote no for this. I have lived in Thalia neighbourhoods for over 30 years. My
greatest concern regarding this project concerns the fact that one objection has been
overlooked today concerning this is the amount of traffic that will be created on
Edinburg Drive. If you go back and look at the traffic study issues, most of the
things that you have heard addressed today have dealt with Virginia Beach
Boulevard and Thalia Drive, which are all correct. The issue is the parking and the
driving issues on those roads will be exasperated by this project,but the other route
that comes into that area, which nobody has discussed today, is where people turn
down Lynn Shores Drive to Edinburg down to Thalia Drive, and then come into
that area the back way. The amount of traffic that we will see on Edinburg Drive
54
will increase dramatically. And, nobody in this residential neighbourhood wants to
see those types of traffic increases, either on it Edinburg or Thalia Drive. So, we
would ask you to please vote no on this and I thank you for your time today.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Virginia Wasserberg, followed by Sandra
Shanaberger. Ms. Wasserberg,please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: You can go ahead and get started.
Ms. Wasserberg: Okay.
Ms. Oliver: Please state your name.
Ms. Wasserberg: Okay. My name is Virginia Wasserberg, and I do not live in Thalia. I live
in an apartment in Brenneman Farms Apartments. I am a resident of Virginia Beach
and I serve on the National Executive Council of higher ground, which is the
nation's largest flood survivor network. I co-founded and lead Stop the Flooding
Now, a group that has been honoured in 2018, by the Virginia General Assembly
for local flood advocacy and education work. We already have polluted waterways
in Virginia Beach. Why, because decades of short-sighted planning and
development policies have consistently favoured development interests over the
public health. A violation is clear. The staff report states that the phosphorus
removal requirement to be 2.5 pounds per year. This development does not meet
this reduction and its counterpart falls far short. More phosphorus in Thalia Creek
will seriously increase water pollution that has already compromised the public
health of residents that fish at Lake Windsor. You see Thalia Creek is tidal, which
means it flows into Lake Windsor, and it also flows into the presidential canal in
Windsor Woods, which has flooded residents before. Good community floodplain
management practices of communities that participate in the National Flood
Insurance Program, which Virginia Beach is one adhere to title 44 of the CSR
section 60.3-A2. This ensures that floodplain permits must be obtained and comply
with ESA standards, ESA (Environmental Services). So, please deny this
application on the basis that phosphorus reduction requirement is not met, and it is
counterpart of nutrient credits keeps the Virginia Beach in the archaic development
practices that many communities across this country are getting away from today.
And just because you can do something, just because you can purchase nutrient
credits and pollute other waters, does not mean that you should. Thank you very
much. You could see in the pictures that I sent to you, the warnings, not to eat the
fish in Lake Windsor. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Mr. Landfair.
55
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Sandra, excuse me, Sandra Shanaberger,
followed by Mac Rawls. Ms. Shanaberger, please state your name for the record.
Ms. Shanaberger: Hello, my name is Sandra Shanaberger and I live in Princess Anne Plaza
and let me quickly say that we have had children, hit by cars in our neighbourhood.
As a matter of fact, there were 3 children that were in their own yard that were run
down,put in critical condition and it was by somebody that came from the direction
of the very nearby apartments. I just want to point out that you have an opportunity
to develop responsibly and be known for that, so, it would be nice to see that
happen. The Thalia plan state that many of the existing mature trees will be
removed. Many to me likely means hundreds or at least 100, and I would like to
share some safety concerns and health concerns about removing trees, and I am
going to read a few excerpts from some research. If you really need to add more
apartments, when we already have so many vacant apartments in Virginia Beach,
please consider another location. Perhaps, I mean there is a vacant lot on
independence that North Witchduck. It is already paved so, you would not need to
remove trees there. That is just one exam just throwing that out there as an idea. So,
the research I have here, here is an article titled"Trees Are Key To Fighting Urban
Heat." It really looks like you are planning on urban heat island and smog is
definitely a health and safety concern. That is kind of a, it is not fiction it is going
to happen. Anyway, I will read this here if you live in an area and cities that are
seeing more extreme heat days but you do not have tree cover to cool down that
can literally be a life or death issue. And then I will skip. It just puts them into
greater, puts people at a greater risk from heat waves when we are not getting the
benefits of trees. I will move on quickly. This one is called "The Racist Housing
Practices" from the 1930s linked to hotter neighbourhoods today and research
found that neighbourhoods with higher temperatures were often the same ones
subject to discriminatory based housing practices nearly a century ago. The extra
heat can have dangerous and sometimes deadly health consequences. Extreme heat
kills more Americans every year than any other weather related disaster.It is always
5 degrees cooler under a tree, in case you have never noticed that. Anyway, the
urban heat island that means that they, it tends to be hotter than rural surroundings.
And this study says that these are the result of more concrete added and fewer trees
and green spaces in these hotter areas. Next, I have, oh here is a quote says before
I knew that I was gasping for air.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much you had three minutes just that out.
Ms. Shanaberger: Do you really need to interrupt me, I was trying to give you some more
information about this. Anyway, there is also, major safety things going on with
that.
56
Ms. Oliver: But I am sorry to interrupted now, because you are all done. Thank you.
Ms. Shanaberger: Well thanks for cutting off my last 30 minutes that really was inappropriate,
I am sorry you did that. Thanks.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, the next speaker is Mac Rawls, followed by the last speaker. Ada
Shimmer. Mr. Rawls, please state your name for the record. Thank you.
Mr. Rawls: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. I know it is been a long day. I
am Mac Rawls, I am a resident of Thalia and have been one for 55 years now. I am
also, a current member and former chairman of the GMH Historic Preservation
Commission. Just as a matter of purely subjective information. Members of our
commission met with the owner of the Willis property, Ben Willis, 7 years ago to
seek to say one of the most iconic historical buildings in Virginia Beach. Our
mission was to help Mr. Willis obtain readily available historical preservation
funding that will make the building a centrepiece for other commercial
development of the property. Our offer was refused. Instead, the owner totally
demolish the building and embarked upon his third successful development of the
property, turning this once majestic site into a hodgepodge of architectural styles
and a general eyesore. B4 zoning was originally conceptualized in regard to
strategic growth areas with the intent of creating compact business living areas, less
reliant upon automotive transportation. It is not at all applicable to Thalia, which
along with Thalia Elementary and the Virginia Beach EMS headquarters is mainly
served by only one outlet through Virginia Beach Boulevard. If you want to make
Virginia Beach a better place in which to live, this is not a way to do it. We are
currently satisfied with the existing B2 zones and urge you not to change that
designation. If you do, you will create a precedent that will be hard for all of us to
live with in the future. Thank you very much for your attention.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair, we now have the last speaker Ada Shimmer. Ms. Shimmer, please
state your name for the record. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Well, welcome. We are glad to see you.
Ms. Shimmer: I bet you are. My name is Ada Schimmer,I have been a resident of Virginia Beach
for approximately 60 years. You can see that I do not support the proposal of the
building at the corner of Thalia Road on Virginia Beach Boulevard. I do not live in
Thalia. I frequent there a lot though. I shop at the Arby's. I have worked at Thalia
Elementary School. I do not think the people that live there are asking that the
roadgets widened or that they use property to that. All their concerns are very valid.
I know the people that want to develop have big money and big power, but I have
57
to say it is an environmental disaster that they are proposing. It is too much
development on too small of a piece of property. It is a traffic nightmare and it is
an environmental nightmare, and it really does not match, it does not go with the
whole feel and atmosphere of that community, which is very much like an
environmental type of oasis. So, I would say that this property should not be used
for that. There are other locations though that I think would accommodate that very
well. One lady said on North Independence or Independence in North Witchduck
Road, great big empty area where they used to be a shopping centre. This would
work well there. Also, at the corner of South Independence and South Plaza Trail
across from Brennaman Farms Apartments, which are already 4 storeys high.
There is empty space there. Farmer's fields that I think there is a for sale sign up
there. It is also, adjacent to a medical facility. And then there is a shopping centre
at the very end of Brennaman farms. So, all of those two places, for example could
accommodate something like this very well. This proposal is horrendous. It is
literally too much on too small of a piece of land. So,thank you very much for your
time.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much.
Ms. Shimmer: Oh, by the way, about the trees that are going to get cut down. Virginia Beach
publishes this themselves about the value of the urban canopy and this project is
going to destroy those existing big trees, they will probably replace them with a
monoculture of small trees, but if anybody would like to save this, may I leave it
here for anybody?
Ms. Oliver: You certainly can.
Ms. Shimmer: Okay, because I think Virginia Beach writes very well, but most of the timethat
they do not enforce the developers to do anything like this. I thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you.
Mr. Landfair: Madam Chair. That was the last speaker for this item. We have been checking with
the clerk's, and we do not believe there are any more speakers either downstairs in
the lobby or waiting across the street in building 19 who wish to speak.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Landfair: As such,with no known speakers,we believe the applicant now has the opportunity
to reply.
Ms. Oliver: All right.
58
Mr. Frankenfield: Once again I am Barry Frankenfield, local landscape architect. I would like
to thank you all for your time and patience. I will take most of the comments,but I
will quickly bring up our traffic person.
Ms. Oliver: Barry please lift your mic up for me.
Mr. Frankenfield: Okay. I will quickly bring up our traffic person to answer all those very
difficult traffic and parking questions those two big issues. I could stop with these
two statements refer back to your Staff report. It is all good, tells you the answers
of almost everything. And the second thing is, this is about Virginia Beach
Boulevard. This is not about the 3-lined country lane Thalia neighbourhood. This
is about an 8-lane road sometimes 12-lanes carries the most traffic in our city for
commerce and development.This type of development is totally appropriate on this
location. Stormwater comments potential to comply, the staff report, always says
potential to comply, because they have done a preliminary study. The study may
change. A preliminary study costs $30,000, a full study costs a lot more. So, you
have a preliminary study. Staff says it has the potential to comply. I will guarantee
you it will comply. It will not get approved if it does not apply, so, it will meet all
the regulations. It also, as I told you, it will comply with 1.5 foot sea level rise. And
also,one other comment I heard as part of the plan approval,there is a maintenance
agreement. That maintenance agreement will be enforced by city staff, so, that
developer is required to sign the maintenance agreement, and that that stormwater
facility will be addressed. Occupancy, we feel the occupancy and the school
increase is tremendously exaggerated. Drucker and Falk representatives can and
will if you like speak to the average number of occupants in units in typical
apartment complexes. A very, very high number are single persons. They are not 4
persons per bedroom. It just does not exist. And the schools, you will see the
schools and staff report showed that a very, very low number of children typically
in their apartments. Sanitary and sewer: Whatever needs to be done is going to be
done. If they need to jack onto the road and bore and put new lines in that will
happen at the developer's expense. There is no risk of overloading the system. The
pump station has been approved and can meet the capacity. References to ghetto
and blend apartments are not ghetto,they are not like. This project will never be in
that condition at all. Maybe there is a confusion and Virginia Housing indicates one
of the criteria for mixed use residential is to remove blight. That is one of the
criteria. Another criteria is to provide a high quality economic development project
which provides mixed use housing. So,that is one of the other criteria. Trees,you
cannot have a better person working on the trees than Billy Adam and his group.
They are going to preserve what they can. They are going to put more trees in. This
is going to be a leafy neighbourhood, which is a pseudonym for a very attractive
neighbourhood. So, you look at that plan I can tell you the architecture of the
59
building and the planting. It will not look like the plan, it will look better. There is
no doubt in my mind that it will be very good.Now my favourite SGA, SGA's were
first discussed in 2003. I have no idea why there is a space between Rosemont Road
and Pembroke. None,whatsoever, I cannot even figure out who drew and she is
laughing at me, but I cannot figure out who drew the plan, why that happened,
because most of Virginia Beach Boulevard is covered in SGAs. In fact, your
discussion on the comprehensive plan leads to the conclusion that more high
density development is totally appropriate along major transportation corridors. So,
all the SGAs are different. Those SGAs that have no residential allowed are
recommended, so, to say that it should be an SGA's is just, I do not know how to
say, it just does not make sense to me. When we did our research out of the last 10
years, 55 rezonings departments came forward too were deferred or withdrawn, 53
were approved. Of 53, 39 were not in SGAs, 14 were in SGA's. So, the trend, the
policy, the direction does not say that all apartments need to be in SGAs. Parking
and traffic,I am going to ask, Steve if he come up. Well I am assuming you might
have some questions right.So,I am intend to talk,but we have a great project, great
group, sports economic development, and it is appropriate for Virginia Beach
Boulevard, which is what is the issue. Come on Steve.
Mr. Steve: Good afternoon again. I will answer any questions that you may have regarding
traffic just to a couple of points that many citizens brought up. First is the entrance.
The first entrance to the site, many of the citizens brought the fact that it is very
close and it creates some conflict. It is very true it is close to the intersection. It is
not an uncommon situation. You can drive up and down Virginia Beach Boulevard
and you see the same type of configurations. If we were designing that today, yes
we would design it farther back from the intersection, so, we could get away from
all the conflict there. The situation has been noted in the traffic study, and within
staffs report, and it has been acknowledged by the developer, and this is usually
taken care of during a site plan review process because the city staff has the ability
now to change the design of that intersection, and they have recommended within
the staff report mitigation for that by making the ride in and ride out. I think, the
other concern too was traffic safety. Looking at when I first started talking with the
city regarding the scope of the traffic study,we always talk about traffic safety and
some of the issues that, that particular intersection has according to their records, it
was listed, I think it was number 50 of the top intersections for accidents,and it was
not a concern really as far as being one of the top intersections that have crashes
there. So, a detailed analysis was not done regarding the traffic safety on the study,
particularly because this was a limited traffic study because it really did not require
a traffic study due to the down zoning going from the B2 to a B4. Another issue
that was brought up quite frequently was the school traffic, and again, this is the
situation,I think any of our school districts, any school,you will see that same type
60
of traffic pattern and traffic situation, where it is at the beginning of the school day
and the end of the school day. You will have that 5 to 10-minute period where you
get that flood of traffic, and yes, it takes 2 or 3 cycles to clear and everything. But
again, that is not a unique situation to this zone project.
Ms. Wilson: I am sorry, but your 10 minutes are up. If you have questions?
Mr. Oliver: Thank you. I push the button earlier.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, got it. Okay. Yeah, ask questions.
Mr. Alcaraz: Sir, were you the one talking about parking or was it Mr. Berlin?
Mr. Steve: It was Mr. Berlin.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay, I have Berlin's number. Okay, so, a lot of questions were brought up about
the numbers and the mathematics. Can you clarify that?
Mr. Steve: Sure. Even though it is pretty much straight by city code on the number of parking
spaces required,we would be 60 spaces short. The developer requested,you know,
reduction of 60 spaces. So, there was a lot of numbers thrown out there and I am
not sure how they came about those numbers, where they were saying 140 spaces
short. If we went strictly by city code, it would have been an additional 60 spaces.
Now the reductions came in the fact of the shared parking and the fact that this
development is a mixed use, and it will facilitate the shared parking and reductions
that were that were taken and there is also, reductions in fact that in trial capture
which is basically the residence. So, an example would be a resident when he goes
shopping at the Arby's, he is not taking up a second parking space, so, there are
reductions due to that fact that they are already there on site. So, as far as the math
and everything, like I said, we follow standard methodology put out by the Urban
Institute for Planning. So, I am not sure what their math is coming from.
Mr. Alcaraz: Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Inman, do you to have questions?
Mr. Inman: When you do a traffic, you do the traffic study correct?
Mr. Steve: I did.
Mr. Inman: How do you go about doing the traffic study in terms of physically being observing
the traffic in that particular spot. How do you do that?
Mr. Steve: Typically, the first step is I do contact your city traffic engineer and we discuss the
scope of the study. The scope of it to a traffic impact analysis is well laid out, it is
61
within you are the Virginia Beach guidelines with public works on how you do that
study and it is pretty consistent, wherever you go and how you do a traffic impact
study. So,the first step is,yes,I talk with your city traffic entity to discuss any types
of issues. We discuss what intersections will be evaluated and what types of issues
that may occur, like if there was a specific traffic issue or something we could
discuss that. And then I guess I do go out to the site and I observe traffic during the
morning peak hour and the afternoon peak hour. If it was not a specific site that has
traffic, maybe on a weekend or something like that, that the city traffic engineer
would know. I would also, observe traffic in that period too. So, we define the
scope of the study, and I do observe the traffic. In the end, we set up traffic data
collection and we usually hire a sub-consultant to do that traffic collection that
specializes in traffic collection, and at the day that they go out to collect traffic, we
make sure that it is a weekday between Tuesday, schools are in session. And we do
it between the peak hours in the morning and in the afternoon, and I will go out
again during the collection of traffic to make sure that there is no touch situations
such as construction activity or an accident that may have changed traffic patterns
during that time when you are collecting traffic. So, hope that answers your
question.
Mr. Inman: Yeah, it helped. How many,can you give me a guesstimate of how many hours
were spent by you or your subcontractor observing traffic flows and traffic patterns
at that particular intersection in question?
Mr. Steve: The sub-consultant collected traffic over 2 days during a 2 peak hour tournaments.
Each peak hour period in the morning is from 7 to 9 and in the afternoon it is from
4 to 6. So, basically 4 hours a day for 2 days. I was probably out there for a total of
10 hours total. I work at Virginia Beach Town Centre. I frequent that shopping
centre. So,I am there in the afternoon. So, I do frequent that shopping zone now and
then,but the total time for myself, I would say probably 8 to 10 hours of observing
traffic.
Mr. Inman: What period of time was this done, and what month?
Mr. Steve: I am always out there during peak hours, so, I would typically get out there around
7:30 and go to 8:30, and you can tell when the traffic is stopping and you try to hit
the peaks, and then again in the afternoon. I would be out there anywhere between
4 and 6, you know, sometimes I will go out there really just to make sure, maybe
there is something going on and traffic is out early, but for the most part, I am out
there about 5 o'clock in the afternoon looking at it.
Mr. Inman; I would also, like to know what time of year this was done?
Mr. Steve: It was in December, December timeframe.
62
Ms. Oliver: Any other questions?Yes Jack.
Mr. Wall: I am not opposed to a share the parking plan, but I think they did bring up some
good points, or you know, 8 points about the parking study. Yeah, it was pretty
specific in what they add the ULI may account for employees. So, that may be an
odd issue because they had bring up some very specific points and employees could
townhouse parking, and it kept spaces,motorcycle spaces, so, can you address, can
you list or make the decision staff again.
Mr. Steve: The parking ratios that were used for each of the land uses includes employee
parking. Those ratios include all parking for that specific land use, so, it is built
into that parking ratio for employee parking.
Mr. Inman: Okay. Even the townhome?
Mr. Steve: Yes.
Mr. Inman: What about is the parking under the structures? Is that going to be locked, and there
is going to be key though?
Mr. Steve: I would have to defer to the.
Mr. Inman: Okay. Because the next line that would not be shared by you.
Mr. Frankenfield: No the Drucker and Falk talked with me. The reference was a key 5 will be
required to get into the building. The parking structure will not be locked, not be
gated, I have to stay.
Mr. Inman: What about one person brought up,I think it was Tarra Seacrest talked about towing
contractor?
Mr. Frankenfield: Right.
Mr. Inman: Would that be part of this because it seems like that it is heavy.
Mr. Frankenfield: It is part of the service.
Mr. Inman: So, you could like shared parking spaces.
Mr. Frankenfield: That is good.
Mr. Frankenfield: Okay. I am off the hotspot. Okay.
Mr. Inman: And maybe that is it was your general question.
Ms. Seacrest: Sure so, when in multifamily, when you hire a vendor partner, which is a towing
company, you give them your parking policy. And so, the decal that would be on
63
your car would indicate that you are a resident of that apartment community. So,that
is how and it is very common. I mean even in garden style apartment communities
with surface parking or gated communities, it is almost every single apartment
community has a towing company vendor.
Mr. Inman: Okay.
Ms. Seacrest: Yeah. Yes sir.
Ms. Seacrest: Yes sir.
Mr. Inman: So, what is the occupancy rate or what is vacancy rate for multifamily of this flats.
Ms. Seacrest: Class-A right now in Virginia Beach submarket?
Mr. Inman: Yes.
Ms. Seacrest: Right now,the vacancy has been excellent even considering COVID. Right now on
average for Class-A is 95% occupied, so,you are looking at a 5% to 4% vacancy,
which we are really pleased with everyone being able to stay in their home
especially during COVID.
Mr. Inman: Okay. And few of the residents spoke do say that the trend was too was single
family versus multifamily. Is there any sort of data on that?
Ms. Seacrest: I really know a ton about apartments and multifamily, so, I could not speak to the
single-family rental aspect to it.
Mr. Inman: Have you seen demands for apartments.
Ms. Seacrest: Oh, yes, there is absolute demand for apartments, and again even speaking these
sub-communities, right now. All of our other lease up communities that are in
Virginia Beach, have laced up ahead of projections. Usually it takes 18 to 24
months to lease up an apartment community, and just down the street Metro
apartments they leased up ahead of schedule 200 West reached up absorption ahead
of schedule, and those are fantastic projects so,they are actually on a waitlist.
Mr. Inman: Okay. Thank you.
Ms. Seacrest: You are welcome.
Ms. Klein: I have one more question. I lived in apartments visited people, you either have a
decal it comes in like a scanned numbered space.
Ms. Seacrest: Yep.
64
Ms. Seacrest: Correct.
Ms. Klein: So, if I am going after hours to visit some of guests.
Ms. Seacrest: As a guest?
Ms. Klein: As a guest. Even all these are to someone in the apartment. How does towing
company know?
Ms. Seacrest: You are going to be able to park in an open parking space. There is going to be
designated spaces for the actual, there will be decals for the residents, so, they will
know that that is our resident parking there.
Ms. Klein: But are all the spaces open?
Ms. Seacrest: All the spaces are open.
Ms. Klein: So, how then, wants to say whether or not I am allowed to park there.
Ms. Seacrest: There will be signage that will say that this is open parking. And then the residents
will actually have a decal for their car.
Ms. Klein: So, there will be designated resident parking?
Ms. Seacrest: Correct.
Ms. Klein: So, then that is not shared parking right?
Ms. Oliver: Right,well they have the decal on their car that will say that it is a resident parking,
so, then guests will be able to park anywhere in there, in the parking lot.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Just, do you want to speak to the parking. I mean part of it or whoever is.
So, is there a designated parking for the residents.
Mr. Falk: No. Designated parking would
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
Mr. Falk: Appears as if it is assigned and thus numbered or
Ms. Oliver: Reserved?
Mr. Falk: Or reserved and there will be no reserved or assigned parking. It would go against
the shared parking concept to have reserved or assigned parking.
65
Ms. Oliver: And,so, is there any designated guest parking to distinguish who is a guest and to
distinguish who's just parking freely and not utilizing either the retail, the
restaurant, or the apartment?
Mr. Falk: Right. A short-term guest, a visitor over a night or a weekend, does not necessarily
need any form of pass, so, they could park in any open space in the entire lot.
Ms. Oliver: So, the towing company serves what purpose?
Mr. Falk: Towing and help me here by I am telling if a car is abandoned. If a car has been
there for 2 or 3 days, if a car is noticed by resident, it is in front of my unit and no
one has been by that car, that sort of thing, then dropper would tow that vehicle.
Ms. Oliver: Correct.
Ms. Oliver: And is the townhouse parking spaces, is that calculated into your total parking
spaces.
Mr. Falk: Yeah, let me along at the garage space. Let me start by the description of the
townhouse space. Yes, there are 16 townhomes and with each one there is a space.
There was a comment today that each townhouse has two spaces,two times 16 was
32 and you had to take 32 away from our number. There are 16 townhomes, and 16
townhome spaces. And those are in or underneath the townhomes, that is correct.
Ms. Oliver: They are attached to the townhouse?
Mr. Frankenfield: Underneath, you would pull in.
Ms. Oliver: Right, and how many spaces are on each floor of your garage?
Mr. Falk: I would have to look a site plan.
Ms. Oliver: Okay, it is fine. I just was wondering if you just happen to know that.
Mr. Falk: I do not know that on top my head. It is shown there are parking spaces under
building one that is the U-shaped building and then there are parking spaces on the
building 2 which is the middle long building.
Ms. Oliver: And how many motorcycle spaces are there?
Mr. Falk: The entire site is 25, but Mr. Landfair and I counted these yesterday, existing now
there are already like 12-15 somewhere in there, existing spaces in all the and up
front of the Willis Wayside where I reside current.
Ms. Oliver: So, saying that you completed the project, how many motorcycle spaces would
there be total?
66
Mr. Falk: There are 25 on the site.
Ms. Oliver: 25?
Mr. Falk: On our site plan. Yes.
Ms. Oliver: In addition to what is there? Or total?
Mr. Falk: Total.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. I am just trying to.
Mr. Falk: At the end of the project, we would have 25 motorcycle spaces.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Okay. Yes Klein.
Ms. Klein: The 16 town home spaces, is that included in the 553?
Mr. Falk: Yes,because you can park in those spaces.
Ms. Klein: So, even though it is your apartment or your townhouse, I could still park there as
a non-resident?
Mr. Falk: Well you could if you are invited by the townhouse renter.
Ms. Klein Okay.
Mr. Wall: These spaces include the garage also?
Mr. Falk: Well, we are talking about the same space. Yes, it is a garage-type space.
Ms. Oliver: So, I have a question for you, because we come out of questions. So, you were
calculating the 22 motorcycle spots.
Ms. Seacrest: 25.
Ms. Oliver: I am sorry, 25, I originally had 22. Your 16 townhouse spaces, which are open
spaces to anyone or just the people that leased the townhouse.
Mr. Falk: You would think that the person that is leasing the townhome would use that space
Ms. Oliver: But, that is calculated into all your parking?
Mr. Falk: Because it is a parking space within the 553, yes.
Ms. Oliver: Correct, correct. And how many handicap spaces are required?
Mr. Falk: Oh God. Can I pull my site plan?
67
Mr. Redmond: 10.
Ms. Oliver: They are 10?
Mr. Redmond:Yeah.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Okay. Alright, I think that, okay, anybody else? No okay. Thank you.
Does anybody have any more questions or we want to close this.
Mr. Wall: Madam, I have got a question about the ball field parking, and so, that spills over
into, this might be for the city because I can see where it could spill over the Thalia
Forest Lane. I think we have had this discussion before it. Can the individual Thalia
Forest can make petition and this might be for Bobby Tajan.
Mr. Tajan: Thank you.
Mr. Wall: Can a petition for a sign that says there is no parking in the driveway.
Mr. Ricky: Rick Lowman,traffic engineering. They can petition,the city for that but they were
not able to park on the street, either. So, what we do is we do this around high
schools, particularly, but the residents need to know if they do petition the city for
no parking signs that they cannot park on the street either. So, you cannot make it
resident parking only. It is all or nothing. So,if they did want to prohibit,you know,
people from parking in front of their homes, nobody could park in front of their
homes.
Mr. Inman: Yes, I have a question Rick please.
Ms. Oliver: Yeah.
Mr. Inman: Ricky reviewed the traffic study?
Mr. Ricky: Yes.
Mr. Inman: Was it acceptable?
Mr. Ricky: It was. You know, all the points that Mr. Francillo, who I have a lot of respect for
as a traffic engineer, a lot of issues that you he answered, he did not mention a
couple of things. Number one, you know, I think it was mentioned that by one of
the speakers that you know the counts are done in December. Well that is going to
increase the numbers. They do not encourage you to do counts between say
Thanksgiving and Christmas because traffic counts are going to be up a little bit.
So, the developer decided to make those counts when they did, because that was
the time of year that they could get this stuff done. And that actually increased the
background traffic, which is going to make the study even more conservative
68
though. The other thing that was not mentioned, although it is mentioned in the
staff report, is that the developer did not subtract out the existing retail that is being
torn down. So, normally when you do a traffic study you say, okay,what is being
removed and what is being added. The,you know,the neighbourhood did not agree
that the retail that was being torn down was typical retail, meaning it did not
generate a significant amount traffic like existing retail does. There are little uses
in there, those little shops, they do not generate traffic. So, instead of negotiating
how much traffic should be subtracted out, they just decided to not even deal with
that, which makes the study even more conservative. You know, so, it shows even,
you know, more traffic than will be actually out there when this is built. So, I just
wanted to point those things out,but yeah,everything,you know,the counting over
2 days, the peak hours only 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon,
that standard. We know what the peak hours are out there. We have 2 counts that
basically say this is when Thalia is the highest, this is when the boulevard is the
highest, and we picked those 4 hours because those are the highest hours. So,that is
very typical of everything that we do all standard and,as far as the school,we know
warming up here, just in case you guys are wondering, like Mr. Francillo said
anywhere around the school you are going to end up with school-type problems.
You aregoing to end up with queuing in front of the school because parents do not
put their kids on the school buses anymore.You know things are a lot simpler when
more parents put their kids on the school bus. But now you have got to come up
with drop off plans that we have problems all over the city at elementary schools. I
mean thorough good. (inaudible 05:23:38), but it is the parents that drop off the
children to the schools. And there is also issue with Princess Anne High School
there. Because the Princess Anne High School students will sit in that right lane
and they will back out pass Thalia,because,you know,they all want to get to school
in the 5 minutes, you know, before the first bell rings, and we see that every high
school in the city of Virginia Beach. So, these are common problems that you see
around elementary schools. They are not going to go away, and they are just
expected in the 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes in the afternoon. So, and the
great thing about elementary schools is in the afternoon their peak does not interfere
with the PMP, which is typically, you know, what would have studied, so.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. You have a question.
Mr. Inman: Yes. We heard several speakers talk about the problem of turning left off the
boulevard heading north on Thalia road and having to stop, sometimes get caught
out in the middle of the westbound,Virginia Beach, Boulevard, okay. No, that I do
not know how many times a day that happens. I think that face value from their
statements that it issomething that is frequent enough to cause safety concern. Do
you think that is true or you just information for you as a traffic guy.

Mr. Ricky: We see this,what can we do about. We see this at shopping centres where your first
access point is pretty close to the shopping centre. And that is why when we review
plans with new shopping centres and things like that, that is one of the important
things that we look at. We would have, you know, probably we would have liked
to seen it a little bit further back when that thing was built however many years ago.
You know the one thing that we could possibly take a look at, and I recommend to
the developers and their engineers, is that maybe if you widen the entrance a little
bit more, it will be easier for cars to turn in,you do not have to slow down as much
because when they are constricted by the entrance width, you know, you have got
a car waiting to go out. The cars may slow down even further so, they do not hit
that car and they come in a little bit slower. If you widen the entrance a little bit,
maybe it reduces the friction for those cars turning into the ALDI parking lot.
So,that is a possibility there.You know,if it does become a problem for the, for the
residents of the apartments,they are going to get onto the second entrance and come
in,in that one. So,that option is there as well,because there are two actual entrances
that go into the apartment, you know, the proposed apartments and into the ALDI
shopping centre.
Mr. Inman: Off of Thalia road.
Mr. Ricky: Off of Thalia road. Yes, sir. But if maybe you widen that entrance just a little bit
just to make it a little bit easier to turn in,that could be a solution,you know,bigger
radius turning in. We could take a look at these at the site plan stage, but it is a
typical problem or I would not even call it a problem. It is a typical issue, because
cars do slow down when they turn in and it is an accordion effect. The cars behind
him slow down and you occasionally get stuck out there.
Mr. Inman: So,you are saying that site plan review that could be modified.
Mr. Ricky: We could take a look at it. Sure, we can take a look at that and see how much it can
be modified. I know there is some powerful out there that you would want to avoid
but it could potentially be modified.
Ms. Klein: Thank you. Real world experience I used to work in Pembroke and so, I would
frequent that shopping centre to get groceries on my lunch break. So, I can speak
to this turn. And I have had several near misses both as the cause of the accident or
the result of someone slamming on their brakes. Right when you are trying to get
in that turn and you slow down and you back like, it is just an event. And so,it is a,
it is a legitimate issue at that shopping centre.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you very much. You have questions.
70
Mr. Redmond:Yeah, I do not want to put words in your mouth but I thought you tell me if I am
and you disagree with what I say, I thought I understood you say that the
assumptions in the traffic study and he traffic study itself are conservative.
Mr. Ricky: Yes.
Mr. Redmond:Okay. Thank you.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Ricky: Sure you are welcome.
Ms. Oliver: I am going to close this hearing, and we are going to open it up to the
commissioners. And, we would like to get started.
Mr. Graham: I guess, I will start.
Ms. Oliver: Are you going to start.
Mr. Graham: Well, it is my borough so.
Ms. Oliver: You go.
Mr. Graham: So, I am really excited, but it is been a long day. So, I recognize everything that,
you know, the community said, they are obviously very passionate about their
neighbourhood. It is a great neighbourhood. I do have to say, I have been on
planning commission for a year and a half, and this is probably not the, I guess,the
same thing that many other staff reports. This is probably one the most thorough
staff reports, and I as well as others on this planning commission have reached out
to Bill, who is reached out to Rick Lowman and to others, and I really feel like the
staff report is very thorough and well thought out and it answers a lot of questions
and then other questions that we have regarding school, traffic, parking, design a
lot of things. It has really been addressed. So, I just wanted to, I guess, recognize
staffs hard work on this. It sounds like we have kind of addressed some of the
objections that we that we heard today. I mean I think that, you know, it really, it
seems like this project checks a lot of the boxes. Traffic parking, schools, density,
the design and architecture. It sounds like the developer heard from the
neighbourhood they went back to the drawing board. They tried to come up with a
design that maybe was more compatible with the neighbourhood. I think, it looks
attractive. You know that it is tough to come up with architecture I think to
compliment a neighbourhood. You know that was, you know, built during a
different time period. But to me, it appears to be attractive. I do not know, I would
like to hear from the other Commissioners,but I support it.
Ms. Oliver: Okay.
71
Mr. Weiner First of all, I want to say I am probably one of the ones in here that I know this area
very well. I grew up in Thalia. I went to Thalia Elementary School and Princess
Anne High School.My family owned an ice cream store at Premont Mall,and every
day after school, we walked over to a mall and Thalia Elementary School. So, I
know this area very, very well. And Mr. Almond brought up some good points in
about the relevance along the boulevard,but I do have to say to everybody in here.
I was in your spot here, 8 to 9 years ago. I was out there with you. Mr. Redmond
was on Planning Commission. Mr. Horsley was here and I was up preparing to
speaking to you guys about apartment complex at Princess Anne and Witchduck
and Kempsville Road in front of Fairfield, and it was probably more speakers than
you all. It was a really long day.And then I learnt a lot about that,that development.
It was 200 apartments there. Same exact question traffic, schools, across the street,
you got Kempsville Elementary School and Kempsville High School. And if you
get to talk to anybody in Fairfield today, they are going to tell you why we cannot
tell these people even live in there. There is no traffic coming on these apartments.
There is just no traffic. I go by their all the time. I only see these people work. I do
not see by leaving or coming in. The school bus probably has 3 kids on it, maybe 2
or 3 kids. The only reason school bus because they cannot walk across Princess
Anne road because it is too crowded. So, that the school and traffic issue for me is
I do not think a big deal or an issue. I want to address Jack's question about the
traffic or the parking on the road behind the Willis Wayside now. I am going to see
that road in the parking lot. I was lucky enough to be the director of Girls Softball
for about 10 years, and I ran the Fall League, and we played at Thalia, and in the
fall, the city does not handle the softball directly used to, so, I was lucky enough to
put all the schedules together and run the whole league. And I always told my
coaches,do not tell your parents not to park on that road. There is so,much parking
behind school.There is no reason to park on that road or where ALDI is. Just telling
you that, in fact, parks and RECs even, you can work with parks and RECs and
they will tell the coach to do the same thing. We had a situation Arrowhead
Elementary School. Parents going into the outdoor and then causing a lot of traffic
and in wrecks, so, they work with us on that. And lucky, Thalia is they want to
contest in Norfolk Tides came over and redid the whole field. So, right now, the
city is going to play softball there for a long time. So, I would suggest getting up at
parks and RECs having that parking taken care of. On the flooding issue, we did
and also, city council just approved the sea level rise, adopted it, and there was a
question asked by accounts remember 2 weeks ago,happened last week. What is it
going to take to fix the flooding and existing commercial developments, and the
answer to him was redeveloped. That is the only way it is going to get fixed, is
redevelop. So, I think, that tells you right there. I am a big advocate on affordable
housing. I think this is a great place to have affordable housing. And last but not
72
least, I do not think you guys want to check fully a fast food restaurant or even a
seven-story office building. I can go there by right. You have no idea how much
traffic that is going to cause that is going to be Rick Lumens nightmare or Rick
Stoner. But anyway, saying all that I am definitely going to be supporting this.
Ms. Oliver: George did you want to?
Mr. Alcaraz: Oh,yeah,just a couple simple questions for our planning director. You do not mid.
We are like 67 registered speakers and about 12 of them call this spot zoning. My
question is, spot zoning versus rezoning detail the differences.
Mr. Tajan: Typically, and again, the term is used very loosely at times or based on what
someone's perception if of spot zoning, so,that is fair. Spot zoning typically is a
term that is used when an area is completely zoned residential and right smack in
the middle of it you reasonsomething that was residential into industrial.Those type
of things are typically considered spot zoning, something that is completely
contrary to a comprehensive plan, and as far as what is the goals permitted in the
area.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. And then, about half of the speakers were questioning why this was not an
SGA and SGA is just certain areas that are unique,or they are implementing special
growth areas but it does not have to be SGA right? I mean, I do not know why that
was said I just want to clear the air. That is not true.
Mr. Tajan: Growth areas are used are called out specifically because of their potential for
where their locations are, and what assets they have already available to them. It
does that mean other uses that may be appropriate in those and maybe be
appropriate in other areas. That is why the rezoning process is available to the
applicant asked and we analyse based on the plan that is available to us. It does not
say that you only have to put those issues in this and all intensive purposes this is a
medium density mixed use development, while the congregation is typically our
high-density mixed use developments which are much larger than us.
Mr. Alcaraz: Okay. Thank you.
Mr. Redmond:Falk had made some points. I just want to hit a couple of things that others have
not. I want to first off the appropriateness of the kind of development on this site.
It is absolutely appropriate site for this kind of development. This is not an
overdrive. It is not back in the neighbourhood. This is a corner on an 8-lane divided
roadway with a 4-way signalized intersection. It is as big as infrastructure gets
around here for a medium density development. This is not appropriate
development? Of course it is appropriate. Does not mean I support it, but the idea
that spot development or it is some sort of, you know, it is just some sort of oddball
73
kind of development for spotlight that. I think it is just ludicrous. I mean and there
are apartment complexes that have been developed all up and down Virginia Beach
Boulevard precisely because of that and there will be more. The reason there will
be more is because there is such demand for this use. NASA was just mentioned
100%leads?It is 100%leads. Sometimes people will say oh God lots of apartments
in Virginia Beach but we have got lots of ones that are about to fall down rapidly.
We have got lots of ones that are practically substandard if not all already
substandard. The reason there is this kind of development in Virginia Beach is
because we need more high-quality housing, and at the same time, we need more
affordable housing for cops and fire-fighters and teachers who work at Thalia
Elementary School and other places. I think this is going to be beneficial with
Thalia Elementary School very frankly because there are teachers who will live
there, young people who are making 40 grand a year or 45 grand a year, and that is
their first job and that is where they might want to live because it is close to where
they live. This property, it is a declining property. It is 30%leased. It is going to be
something else. So, what is an appropriate development this place? This is an
appropriate development. This place is entirely appropriate. So, I do not, I have
heard every kind of argument today,but I have not seen one that really holds water
that would cause me to say, no. All of the things that in the staff report they are all
wrong. I have heard something now that would lead me to say I have got it. You
know, I have got a pose. It is entirely appropriate development entirely, appropriate
place, sees me well designed, and loved the idea of shared parking. We have tried
to move toward shared parking for the longest time we had these gigantic fields of
asphalt. In front of everything they cause nothing but problems. Parking space is a
terrible thing to waste. It should always be off. That is the best way to do that. I
wish we had more shared parking in Virginia Beach. I hope we do. So, anyway, I
know there a lot of people who do not like it. I do not agree frankly with the
objections. I just have not seen or heard anything today that would cause me to
deny the very appropriate development in an appropriate place, and I think fills
their need and has a lot of other ancillary benefits, like the folks who do work at
Thalia Elementary School and lots of other places. So, thank you Madam Chair.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you, Inman.
Mr. Wall: I agree with most of what is been said before,but I want to make a couple of points,
and I want to compliment the folks from Thalia who came out and wrote letters and
did their research and put together a great presentation. It is a tough case for you all
I know, I know, but I am sat here listening and thinking about it, and you know I
just, I just do not see this very commercial parcel with a beautiful tree line behind.
It is not going away. That insulates you and really is not, I do not see it being
damaging to your neighbourhood or even being part of your neighbourhood. I just
74
me and I have lived here 45 years. I have spent plenty of time on Thalia road going
to Steinberg. I know that neighbourhood. I almost bought a house there when I first
moved here. And,it is a great neighbourhood and I do not think this destroys your
neighbourhood, or causes any property values problems in your neighbourhood.
We are have to make a land use decision. We are not making economic decisions.
It is not for us to determine will the developer be able to fill up the building. I feel
pretty confident but they are track record and expertise and others that are building
apartments that they did not are not pretty daggone sure they were going to have a
good occupancy, they would not be investing the kind of money that they have to
invest these days to make a competitive apartment complex because it is not just
you know putting up some rooms for people to rent. It is got to have some amenities,
and it is got to be nice. In order to compete with the other products have come
online here in recent years, and I think you can depend on it,being a very attractive
development and the number that you all were talking about the 678 people are not
going to be 678 people. You cannot count to bed two people for every bedroom in
this community. I mean you got 200 units that are going to be one-bedroom unit.
Most of the units are going to be occupied by one person, and maybe half of them
will be 2,but 678 is really probably a lot more like 400 or 450. So, the impact, that
is a tremendous decline in traffic coming in and out of the community. We need
this kind of housing. We know you think there is too many of them already well,
that is not what has been proven out when apartments come online. And trees, I
know I am a tree person. I love to see the trees. And that is an amenity they. They
do not want to cut the trees. That is something that attracts people to live there.
They have an attractive environment and the outdoor environment. So, I am going
to support this. I must say that the research done by the residents was impressive.
Their fine level of detail that went into the word products that they put together was
pretty good. I am going to look through it. You know went through it, and you
know, we talked about the city's analysis and I trust their analysis. You know the
storm water, traffic, fire, schools, and utilities, but I was also, very impressed by
the by the resonance. And you know what of course you have to say and then of
course in the research that they do. For this project, I cannot say I really oppose it.
Currently it is kind of hodgepodge of uses, but I think, it kind of works not just the
uses but just architecture. I am not sure that the department would go in there,really
much different than your five story apartments that I have seen that got any typical
architecture in a brick base and then it gets already been exciting and it turned into
Mansard roofs areas, but it does not seem to be that much different than any other
apartment complexes of similar nature. I think it does generally meet the concepts
of the comprehensive plan. You are focusing along the Boulevard corridor. The
mixed use is desirable. I think that big box we are transitioning I have heard many
times here that just the shopping trends are moving away from other larger retail.
75
So, currently the coin shops, so, there is something changed. It is probably going to
come no matter what. So, you know, you are asking why do they want to build.
What is been spent you really want to build right there. And,you know, it probably
is because of you are part it. It is a desirable place to live. You know the people live
there have history, you know, they come back and as character established, mature
landscaping,it is an excellent place to live. So,that is the part of the draw you know
they are not putting it off of Euclid, even though we do. Apartments off the Euclid
have been built recently,which is the Pembroke SGA. I think,that the parking study
is slightly. I think that some of the numbers that are used to,you know,yeah I think
that they are lost, but we have discussed people mentioned that the shared use is
appropriate. It appears to be high. The buffer is somewhat preserved. You know I
am a big proponent of buffers and screening in maintaining that and few people
mentioned it before, it is like well, all I have to do is 15 feet, and it is like well you
know this is not a direct development. So, proffer that are listed really do not have
a lot of teeth in them, you can see the landscaping preserving that. It is just kind of
fluid. You are not,not necessarily a fan of that. But they are preserved in the corner
where the individual was talking about where he lived I believe, that is going to be
more than 20 feet at the corner of Thalia. And currently there is no bumping up
from what I can tell you are right behind the warehouse and so, they are going to
enhance that added landscaping. In short, it probably will affect the neighbours.
The extent I am not sure if it is going to be negative, but I do not think it is going
to affect the civility and the sustainability of existing care in Thalia environment I
am in support.
Ms. Oliver: Thank you. Yes sir.
Mr. Horsley; I do not want to belabour it, but I think, staff and the applicant are going to work
very closely to come to with this report today. It is been mentioned before, and I
think, they have done an outstanding job of putting put it together. And I have got
all the comments in the world, and Mr. Frankenfield has commented, and it kind of
stuck with me this. This is Virginia Beach Boulevard and, you know, we need to
think about it as being on Virginia Beach Boulevard and not being in the
neighbourhood of Thalia even though it is it is at a kind of the entrance of Thalia
but this is on Virginia Beach Boulevard and I agree. I think it fits there. Why it is
not an SGA? If Mr. Frankenfield cannot answer that I do not know and I do not
really think it makes any difference whether it is an SGA or not. So, I appreciate
the neighbourhood and what they have had to say today, and I told somebody
yesterday that I did not know how I was going to vote on this because I wanted to
hear what everybody said today and I think I have made my mind up now that I
think the project is good enough that I am going to support it. I think, it would be
fine a project in that location.
76
Ms. Graham: Anything else?
Ms. Oliver I got something so, do not go anywhere Whitney. So, I have spent a lot of time of
that on that. My agenda for this application looks like I have been studying for an
exam. And I have gone around and around with this, talked to bill. So, basically,
you know,in summary,I mean we have summarised everything.The trees are great.
Billy Omen is awesome, ventures fabulous, they have always built great projects,
and never have an issue with them. It is a good use for the piece of property. I think
that the existing what is going on now is outlived its, its term. And so, at the end of
the day, we are going to rezone something from a B2 to B4 mixed use, you got 9.3
acres. Willis is going to be torn down along with the shops on the other side. You
got all these at 19,054 square feet.You got the other retails 10,224 square feet,they
are going to add another 6500 square feet, for totals 35,778. Now assuming that it
is all going to be retail,we are not going to add any restaurants. So,we are going to,
you know, give that to it. It is 250 square feet. Divided into that is your 143 spaces,
161 units and we have revised our proffers that Brecksville. So,we are not going to
expand it to 265, so, we are going to stay at 261, and that gives us 143 spaces
because first 50 get 2, and the rest of them get 1.7. So,they are offering 553 spaces,
they need by code, 613,but we are now talking about shared parking. We have got
22 motorcycle spaces"that we are adding in there."25, say my old number was 22,
so,we have got 25 motorcycle spaces. Now some of the pictures I saw had cars
parked in the motorcycle spaces, because there already is not enough parking. We
have not factored in handicap.And,I was assuming that the townhouse parking was
not part of this. Because you are adding that in, and that is not terrible parking. So,
on the good end of it,we are 60 spaces short,but we are playing with numbers here,
and it is a math problem. At the end of the day this is just a simple math problem,
shared parking not shared parking. You cannot share parking if we do not have
enough parking. I can get to stretch in it. We do not have any reserved parking for
any of the residents or the guests, although we do have decals, which is fine. And
then, if we add in the restaurants into the retail that they are adding into it.Now we
are at 100 square feet per parking space. That is another ballgame. So,now you are
going to add in more parking. So, do we put a condition in that says that course
now, we say we are 50, the restaurants are exceeding for 50, so, do we add a
condition and it says all restaurants that go in, in the future, only seat 49 people.
Mean, is that where we go. I just, I love the project, I think the project is a great fit.
I think it should go on Virginia Beach Boulevard, I think we need affordable
housing, God knows that, my oldest is getting married. She is not living with me.
You know I do not have a problem with it. I am just trying to figure out the numbers.
We do not know how many spaces we have on the garage floor.We do know traffic
eventually is going to be a problem because it is in our staff report, says that right
there. Staff does have concerns about the potential for queuing of traffic on the
77
northbound Thalia road and the Virginia Beach and that it actually wants to have
that addressed but we will do that later, which I think it should be done bow before
we get there. It is a math problem. Either we add to the garage or we cut back on
the units. I cannot, I mean, at one point, you know, where do we draw the line. You
know, are we setting a precedent that says that there is just no such thing as a
parking ordinance or how do we define this year parking says there is not a shared
parking. We did not even address the loading and unloading of Cisco, my husband
is in the restaurant business and those trucks take up an enormous amount of time,
and they do not come in on clockwork and they do not deliver food,when you think
they are going to go at 2 o'clock in the morning because there is many times this
comes rolling in right at lunchtime. So, where is that project. We already have
problems coming in and out of the parking lot. Klein said it herself She has got a
couple of near misses slamming on her brakes. I am not worried about the school,
the school will take care of itself and I am not worried about the trees and I am not
worried about the facade of the building. But, you know, if we do this, are we just
generally saying there is just no such thing as a parking ordinance. What do we do
with everybody else in town, pretty much has to sort of fall into a walk a stop that
it works.And in my mind when I have been working on these numbers and working
on these numbers for days I have been working on them and now I find out there is
even more fighting factor in Cisco truck and all of that. I want this project to go,
but I cannot in good conscious do it with the parking the way it is. And so, that is
where I am. And unless somebody can come up with a better solution to make this
building with everything that it brings to this area, I cannot do that. And that is
where it stands. And I have heard everything from both sides. And I have listened
hard and I have read everything. But the numbers do not work on the parking. So,
that is it. Mr. Webbing, it's all yours.
Mr. Webbing: I think, Mr. Redmond had a comment.
Mr. Redmond:When I last going to suggest him when I am reading the report. I have already 620.
I put my iPad away. I mean I think the study that you did said at the peak hours
would be something like 494 spots required and the ordinance says need to have
600 something. There might well be an issue with the parking ordinance. If you
look at it, we study it. We see it on weekends, it is shy of 500. Then I do not know
that what is in the ordinance is necessarily etched in stone. So, I mean, I think we
can look at these things creatively. Obviously, you know those numbers do not
match. So, in any event I am comfortable with the way it is.
Mr. Wall: Okay, I have got one question. How many shared use parking projects do we do we
see, I do not remember too many. I mean how many are, recently before us.
Mr. Graham: Well I sent Bill in an e-mail, Marina Shores
78
Mr. Landfair: When was the last big one, comparable to this project in terms of numbers of units
and the dealt the difference between them providing or meeting the zoning
requirement. They were also, off by about 60 plus parking spaces.
Mr. Wall: Right and we have a discussion on the parking.We are have that,I cannot remember
what. I do not think we had an in-depth discussion about the discussion
Mr. Landfair: I do not think so. No.
Ms. Oliver: It is working.
Mr. Wall: One thing you mentioned was the restaurants. And I forgot about that was that they
were I think they were discussing 250 Square feet, I think.
Ms. Oliver: That is retail.
Mr. Wall: That is retail, right. Restaurants.
Ms. Oliver: The 100 square feet for,
Mr. Wall: Restaurants were 100 square feet and then you include patio also, and this
application does not include that. And there is multiple restaurants. There is you
know Tijuana Flats and there's the Vineyard.
Ms. Oliver: And if you have to get a great restaurant,which would be fabulous,then,you know,
there is a lot of what else but anyway.
Mr. Tajan: Madam Chair, if I may for the.
Ms. Oliver: Yes sir.
Mr. Tajan: For the parking for the restaurants, the parking calculations based on either the size
and where the seating inside the existing restaurants. So, it my understanding that
the ones at the front and Kevin correct me if I am wrong, those are all under the
size requirements are calculated one space for every 250 square feet because that is
what the ordinance allows.
Mr. Wall: Because that is what ordinance allows, so, that is actually acceptable the way that
was calculated.
Mr. Tajan: Correct.
Mr. Wall: There was so, me research for this that stated that, that was okay, but that clears
that up. Thank you.
Mr. Inman: So, it is 250?
79
Mr. Tajan: Correct. It is based on the size of the number of seats which is.
Ms. Oliver: It is 50 or less.
Mr. Inman: Okay.
Mr. Tajan: Or the total square footage of restaurants I believe.
Ms. Oliver: Once it get over that, then it is a 100 square feet.
Mr. Wall: Gotcha.
Ms. Oliver: Which would mean that you would have to, you know, in order to me still stretch.
I mean this is just, you are not talking, to me it is no stretched, pending you would
need a condition stating that the restaurants could not seat more than 49,in order to
keep it at the 250 square feet, otherwise it goes to 100. It is the math problem.
Mr. Wall: Right, right, right. Mr. Tajan discussed at all?
Mr. Tajan: So, through the build out process, we will review it based on what ever gets
approved or does not get approved. So, if this parking study gets approved by the
planning commission recommendation and city council approval, we will say this
is what your calculation is. This is what you have. This is only use is that you can
put in there, that is what you gave us to work. So, again, they understandably had
to work with multiple developers. They do not want to hem themselves in,
depending on what type of clients they may get in the future. But at the same time,
they are tied to the parking plan and the layout that they have provided, and we will
do the calculations based on what is provided by them.
Mr. Graham: So, live and die by that.
Mr. Tajan: Yes, yeah.
Mr. Graham: Okay. I mean, with that being said, I would like to make a motion to approve the
application.
Mr. Redmond:Second.
Ms. Oliver: Okay. We have any planning commissioners that need to say from this?Yes.
Ms. Coleman: If you are in favour of the motion say, yes and if you are opposed say, no. And this
motion is to approve the application.
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Alcaraz.
Mr. Alcaraz: Yes.
80
Ms. Coleman: Mr. Coston.

PROFFERS
The following are proffers submitted by the applicant as part of a Conditional
Zoning Agreement (CZA). The applicant, consistent with Section 107(h) of the
City Zoning Ordinance, has voluntarily submitted these proffers to "offset
identified problems to the extent that the proposed rezoning is acceptable,"
(§107(h)(1)). Should this application be approved, the proffers will be recorded at
the Circuit Court and serve as conditions restricting the use of the property as
proposed with this change of zoning.
Proffer 1: When the Property is developed, it shall be: (a). multifamily residential
community with approximately 261 total units, and in no event greater than 265
units, contemplated to be comprised as follows: (i). 200-efficiency, studio, studio
flat and/or one-bedroom units (final unit design layout to be determined); (ii).
44-2 bedrooms units; and (iii). 17-3 bedrooms units. (b). new retail space of not
more than 6,500 square feet and, approximately 29,778 square feet of existing
retail space for a total of not more than approximately 36,278 square feet and to
be developed substantially in accordance with the "Rezoning Site Plan Exhibit"
dated April 27, 2020, a copy which has been exhibited to Virginia Beach City
Council and is on file with the Virginia Beach Planning Department.
82
Proffer 2: When the Property is developed, the architectural design and exterior
building materials excluding windows and accent features, of the structures
housing the principal uses on the Property shall be substantially compatible with
the architectural design features and exterior building materials reflected on
Conceptual Elevation #1, Conceptual Elevation #2, and Conceptual Elevation #3
dated January 15, 2020, by the TS3, copies which have been exhibited to
Virginia Beach City Council and are on file with the Virginia Beach Planning
Department. The primary materials shall be a contrasting fiber cement panel
system with EIFS accent at stairs towers and vinyl windows. These primary
building types will feature two buildings built above podium parking and the
third will contain three level townhomes with a traditional single space parking
garage at grade for each unit. Retail space with aluminum store fronts will face
Virginia Beach Boulevard.
Proffer 3: The project landscape architect will coordinate arboricultural review
by an ISA Certified Arborist of existing vegetation for possible preservation and
inclusiveness into the planting plans.
Proffer 4: The project landscape architect will develop tree preservation plans
and details for existing trees and shrubs deemed viable by the arborist.
Proffer 5: The project landscape architect will develop planting plans in
accordance with the latest version of the City of Virginia Beach Landscape
Ordinance.
Proffer 6: The project landscape architect will complement the stormwater
management plan with green infrastructure solutions where appropriate.
Proffer 7: All landscape work will be coordinated and designed by Virginia
licensed landscape architects.
Proffer 8: The stormwater system for the proposed development will be designed
to accommodate the City of Virginia Beach's current 24-hour rainfall amounts
plus a 20% increase as expected for future changing rainfall patterns, provided
the City of Virginia Beach does not require additional modifications to the
Grantor's site plan which make such design reasonably impractical. For purpose
of such design, Grantor's engineer shall perform all analysis using the following
inches of rain for the design storms: 1-year storm - 3.60 inches 2-year storm -
4.38 inches 10-year storm - 6.77 inches 25-year storm - 8.39 inches 50-year
storm - 9.91 inches 100-year storm - 11.34 inches.
83
Proffer 9: Further conditions may be required by the Grantee during detailed Site
Plan and or Subdivision review and administration of applicable City Codes by
all cognizant City agencies and departments to meet all applicable City Code
requirements.
Proffer 10: All references hereinabove to zoning districts and to regulations
applicable thereto, refer to the City Zoning Ordinance of the City of Virginia
Beach, Virginia, in force as of the date the conditional zoning amendment is
approved by Grantee.
Proffer 11: The above conditions, having been proffered by the Grantor and
allowed and accepted by the Grantee, as part of the amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance, shall continue in full force and effect until a subsequent amendment
changes the zoning of the Property and specifically repeals such conditions Such
conditions shall continue despite a subsequent amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance even if the subsequent amendment is part of a comprehensive
implementation of a new or substantially revised Zoning Ordinance until
specifically repealed. The conditions, however, may be repealed, amended, or
varied by written instrument recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court
of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and executed by the record owner of the
Property at the time of recordation of such instrument, provided that said
instrument is consented to by the Grantee in writing as evidenced by a certified
copy of an ordinance or a resolution adopted by the governing body of the
Grantee, after a public hearing before the Grantee which was advertised
pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, 1950,
as amended. Said ordinance or resolution shall be recorded along with said
instrument as conclusive evidence of such consent, and if not so recorded, said
instrument shall be void. Staff Comments: The City Attorney's Office has
reviewed the agreement and found it to be legally sufficient and in acceptable
legal form. Staff notes that proffer 1 permits up to 265 multi-family dwelling
units and proffer 2 indicates no more than 36,278 square feet of commercial will
be provided. These numbers are a slight increase above what is Thalia Road
Partners, LLC Agenda Item 5 Page 8 presented in the Shared Parking Analysis -
up to 261 multi-family units and up to 29,778 square feet of commercial. The
parking analysis revealed an excess of at least 59 parking spaces during peak
demand times, which would be more than enough spaces to accommodate 265
units and 36,278 square feet of commercial uses. These differences equate to the
need for eight more parking spaces, which remains far less than the 59 spaces
deemed available in the analysis. For reasons of consistency, the applicant has
stated their intention to revise the proffers between the Planning Commission
84
and City Council meetings to reflect the numbers provided in the Shared Parking
Study (261 units and 35,778 total square feet of commercial uses).

G. Grantor acknowledges that the competing and sometimes incompatible uses conflict, and
that in order to permit differing uses on and in the area of the Property and at the same time to recognize
the effects of the change and the need for various types of uses, including those listed above, certain
reasonable conditions governing the use of the Property for the protection of the community that are not
generally applicable to land similarly zoned B-4-are needed to cope with the situation to which the Grantor's
rezoning application gives rise.
H. Grantor has voluntarily proffered in writing in advance of and prior to the public hearing
before Grantee, as part of the proposed conditional amendment to the Zoning Map, in addition to the
regulations provided for in the existing B-2 zoning district by the existing City's Zoning Ordinance(CZO),
the following reasonable conditions related to the physical development,operation and use of the Property
to be adopted as a part of said amendment to the new Zoning Map relative to the Property, all of which
have a reasonable relation to the rezoning and the need for which is generated by the rezoning.
I. The conditions having been proffered by Grantor and allowed and accepted by Grantee as
part of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance,such conditions shall continue in full force and effect until
a subsequent amendment changes the zoning on the Property covered by such conditions; provided,
however,that such conditions shall continue despite a subsequent amendment if the subsequent amendment
is part of the comprehensive implementation of a new or substantially revised zoning ordinance of Grantee.
NOW THEREFORE, Grantor, for itself,its successors, assigns,grantees, and other successors in
title or interest,voluntarily and without any requirement by or exaction from Grantee or its governing body
and without any element of compulsion of quid fro quo for zoning,rezoning, site plan,building permit or
subdivision approval, hereby makes the following declaration of conditions and restrictions which shall
restrict and govern the physical development,operation and use of the Property,and hereby covenant and
